The little girl's tears froze on her face. She raised her head with a cold and indifferent expression.
"Who is your junior sister?" Ning Xiaoling said angrily: "You pay for my new clothes!"
Ning Jiujiu said: "Come back with me and I will compensate you."
Ning Xiaoling broke away from his hand holding her wrist and said: "You stinking liar, all scholars are liars..."
As she spoke, she punched Ning Jiujiu hard, and the punch hit Ning Jiujiu's chest. Ning Jiujiu flew out and landed in the snow. There was a sound, snowflakes flew, and his body sank. Go down.
Ning Jiujiu pulled himself out of the snowdrift, but his expression was not at all dizzy, but rather a bit relieved.
Ning Xiaoling was shocked. She looked at her hands and didn't know where she got the strength. She was at a loss for a moment.
She looked at the young master in white and opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she hesitated.
At this time, a childish voice suddenly came from behind: "Sister, you are here."
The two of them followed the sound and saw not far behind them, the poor girl who had been carrying a bucket to fetch water was standing there, waving to Ning Xiaoling.
She seemed to have been running all the way here, her body was heaving and she was still out of breath.
"Sister, you lost something. I searched for you for a long time... Hey, sister, why did your appearance change?" The little girl took out a small bead, which should be an embellishment on the belt around her waist. thing.
Ning Xiaoling's eyes flickered, and she immediately got under the table, as if she didn't want others to see her wearing an old jacket.
Ning Changjiu said softly: "Give this to me, and I will pass it on to her for you."
The little girl made a sound and said in confusion: "Sister, what happened? Did you bully her?"
Ning Jiujiu took the pierced pearl from her hand and said, "Xiao Ling is fine. Don't worry, go back. I will take care of her."
"Xiao Ling?" The little girl's face was full of shock: "I... my name is Xiao Ling too."
Ning glanced at her for a long time, without saying a word, but suddenly turned sideways, stretched out his arm, and slashed down with his palm.
…
The moment Ning Jiujiu took action, the dark girl's back arched slightly, her whole body leaned back, her calves exerted force, and her toes touched the ground, and she retreated several feet.
She stared at Ning Changjiu's cold face, uncertain.
"How do you know?" she asked.
Ning Jiujiu looked at her quietly and said: "When I first saw you, I suspected that you were Ning Xiaoling. After all, I had never seen her when she was a child, and besides being skinny, there is nothing else about you that looks like Ning Xiaoling." Ling, this is very well done. This is an illusion after all, but it will increase the credibility that you are Ning Xiaoling. And I was indeed deceived by you at the beginning. "
Ning Jiujiu paused and continued: "I suspected that you were a junior sister, so I drove away the people who bullied you and gave you water. But I wasn't sure, so I decided to walk around the city first. .”
The girl was puzzled: "What's next? Why do you think it's her in that sedan? There's no way it's her!"
Ning Jiujiu said: "Well, although she is only seven years old, her features are so similar to those of her junior sister that they are carved from the same mold. But I know that the more similar they are, the more fake they may be. This is what you want me to do." The direction of my thinking was that I was afraid that I would forget you, so later you appeared again and stood in front of her."
The little girl nodded slightly and said: "According to the thinking of normal practitioners, the more similar they are, the more false they may be. The truth will always be more veiled than what the eyes can see. Don't you think so?"
Ning Jiujiu shook his head and said: "The truth is just the truth, it will not change because of the things that cover it. Besides... "
Ning Jiujiu looked behind him, at the angry and timid eyes hiding under the table, and smiled: "Besides, deep down in my heart, Junior Sister hopes that I can find her, so I asked her to travel with me. Then she agreed, and then we got here. Even if you are the master of this bureau, you can't change this."
The little girl took a deep breath and stood up straight. The poor and stubborn temperament on her body suddenly disappeared. There was a faint black smoke floating out from the pupils, long hair, and clothes, which looked like a line. Another venomous snake wrapped around her, hissing and spitting poisonous messages.
"Who are you? This is her inner demon calamity. Why can you come in and what methods do you rely on?" the little girl said coldly.
Ning Jiujiu said: "A little bit of master's craftsmanship is not worth mentioning."
The little girl tilted her head, looked him up and down, and shook her head gently: "I've never seen you before. You probably haven't reached the Purple Court Realm yet, and can use such methods... Could it be that you are in the Longevity Realm? Peak? If so, then we should meet again in the next few years."
Ning Jiujiu shook his head and said: "In a few days, I should be able to barely enter Xuan."
The little girl who was the incarnation of the inner demon thought she heard wrongly, and said coldly: "What did you say? Do you know how many talented practitioners I have seen? Do you think you can deceive me?"
Ning Jiujiu smiled and asked, "Do you also like to chat with other practitioners?"
The little girl snorted coldly and said: "The authorities are obsessed with me. Most people who have experienced inner demons have no chance to realize who I am."
This time Lun Ning frowned for a long time: "Who...are you?"
Ning Jiujiu couldn't help but recall the scene when he experienced the inner demon tribulation in his previous life...
He entered the inner demon tribulation, slashed indiscriminately, and killed everyone he could. Within less than a stick of incense, he broke out of the cocoon. Then he found that the tribulation thunder in the sky had disappeared, and only the second senior brother was carrying a handful. Dao looked at himself with a smile and said that the thunder caused by his junior brother was really pure, and it was just the right time to temper the fire for my knife.
When I broke through, I was so simple and unpretentious, how could there be any little girl chatting with me...
The little girl rolled her eyes at him, as if she was too lazy to introduce herself, as if doing so would degrade her status.
Ning thought for a while and guessed: "Are you the manager of this inner demon field?"
The little girl was a little surprised, looked at him twice, and then nodded: "You know this? Well, I am the master here, and it is my duty to help the practitioners break through the realm."
Ning Jiujiu asked in surprise: "The Heart Demon Tribulation...is it a territory with a guarding master?"
"Of course." The little girl nodded without thinking and said: "Young people are becoming more and more powerful nowadays. The number of people breaking through the border is much higher than a hundred years ago. Sometimes I am really too busy. After all, every day For each person who has overcome the tribulation, I will create a different inner demon tribulation based on their state of mind and past, just like this city... "
The little girl looked around, opened her arms, and looked proud: "This city is my favorite work. It can change the layout very dexterously, and can adapt to most of the world except the emperor." In the small city outside the city, you just need to make some adjustments every time. It has been used by fifty-eight practitioners to overcome tribulations. Isn't it amazing?"
Ning Jiujiu found it very interesting and asked: "Then you can see the memory of every practitioner?"
The little girl nodded matter-of-factly: "The thoughts of those who overcome the tribulation are transparent in my eyes."
Ning Jiujiu asked: "Then can you see my past?"
The little girl shook her head and said: "You are not a tribulation breaker. I can show it to you when you go through tribulation one day, but I'm afraid I forgot. Let me give you a secret code then, um..."
When Ning Changjiu saw her thinking hard, he suggested: "Watch the lantern banquet in the small building tonight?"
This was the first line of the lyrics sung by the woman in Rouge Tower just now.
Of course the little girl knew. She thought of the graceful singer she had created, smiled, and continued the second half of the sentence: "It's all a good time and a beautiful wife."
Ning Jiujiu still had questions in his mind: "Do you treat every tribulation-transcending person equally?"
The little girl seemed to have remembered something sad and said: "In the past, I would adjust the difficulty based on their past. For those evil people, I naturally hoped that they would go crazy during the inner demon tribulation. Later... it was about five hundred years ago, at that time It was I who took over from the previous manager. When I was just qualified for this job, I met a very vicious person, the kind who could never be worse. I set up the most difficult inner demon calamity in history for him. After twisting and turning for eighteen levels, it turned out that I was one foot taller and he was one foot taller, and he was able to break through the tribulation. And I knew very well that people who have experienced this kind of inner demon tribulation will be very, very scary. "
Ning Jiujiu nodded and said, "This actually became an opportunity for him."
The little girl grimaced and said helplessly: "Later, I learned about the evil deeds done by that demon in the memory of another practitioner. It is said that five people from the same place surrounded and suppressed him, but none of them could kill him... And all of this, It was all my fault, so after that, I will treat everyone equally."
Ning Changjiu felt a little more relaxed: "I didn't expect that the master of the Heart Demon Tribulation Domain would be such a cute little girl."
The little girl crossed her arms and looked at him with disdain, saying, "This is not my true body. Here, I can change anything."
Ning Jiujiu asked: "Have you ever talked to other people like this in the past?"
The little girl recalled for a moment and said: "There are not many people who protect calves like you and force themselves into robbery. There must be about a dozen in the past five hundred years. Most of them are masters who protect their apprentices. Those young apprentices are indeed weak. With their It is not easy to use your own strength. Although children like this who help solve tribulations will generally not have high achievements in the future, having a safe Purple Court Realm should be a great blessing to the human sect... Of course, if they continue Weak, but not as weak as a junior sister like you."
The little girl looked at the little girl hiding under the table and marveled, "I really don't understand how someone so weak could break through the Purple Garden Realm? If you hadn't been protecting her all the way, she You can die seven or eight times."
Ning Jiujiu said: "Is there anyone else in your inner demon realm?"
"Others?" The little girl frowned, "Isn't it just you... huh?"
Her expression changed, and then she showed a look of surprise: "So it turns out that she is possessed... When this little sister is killed by the inner demon tribulation, that consciousness will take its place and bear the inner demon tribulation for her, and then... He has completely replaced her. Not bad, the method is very good, the possessed demon must have been a big shot before. "
Ning Jiujiu asked: "Can you find him for me?"
The little girl did not answer directly. She said: "Let me answer your previous question first. In fact, you are the first person I want to communicate directly with in the past five hundred years."
Ning Jiujiu asked: "Why?"
The little girl walked up to her, sniffed it, and said: "You smell very good, there is a smell that I am familiar with. This kind of smell has been brought by practitioners before, about... six? But those six, Each of them is more perverted than the other, and before I even started talking to them, they were all dead when we met."
Six? Ning Changjiu was shocked.
In the memory of his previous life, he had exactly six senior brothers and sisters!
Could it be...
"Do you know my master?" Ning Jiujiu asked.
The little girl asked: "Your master? Who is she? I don't know anyone in the real world. I was assigned by the heartless shopkeeper to manage this area as soon as I was born."
"The shopkeeper?" Ning Jiujiu asked subconsciously.
The little girl made a silent gesture and said: "You can't say more about this. If you mention it to him, he will hear it. It will be bad if you find out. Of course I don't care. Your words may kill you." Save it, I'm still waiting for you to come and chat with me the next time you solve a robbery. You asked me before if I could find the monster, and the answer was yes, but I won't do it because the shopkeeper will be unhappy."
The little girl drawled her tone and warned him seriously.
Ning Jiujiu knew that he had vaguely touched some mysterious and ancient existence. In the past, he only thought that the Heart Demon Tribulation was just the Questioning Heart Tribulation derived from his heart. He did not expect that all the people in the Purple Ting Realm would ascend to this same place. within the field.
This is one of the laws of heaven.
The shopkeeper mentioned by this little girl should be an existence at the level of ancient gods like the Lord of the Twelve Hidden Kingdoms, who divides the authority of a certain law, or he is one of the twelve God Lords.
But this is by no means a level he can reach now.
The little girl said dissatisfied: "I have told you so much and you haven't answered me yet. How did you find out?"
Ning Jiujiu looked at her black mist-shrouded body and cute cheeks, and said: "You know how to play a game, but you still don't understand people's hearts very well. This is a place similar to a dream. The person that junior sister wants to be the most is of course the elegant one." How could this gentle eldest lady be me?"
Ning looked at the little girl for a long time and said with emotion: "That is the person that junior sister dreams of becoming."
That was the most beautiful version of herself in her heart, but it was not herself.
"That's it..." The little girl nodded thoughtfully. She glanced at the sky and said, "It's almost time. I'll send you directly to the most critical place of the inner demon tribulation. Whether you can break it depends on you."
As she spoke, a black mist enveloped her, and the void shattered like a mirror. Her body disappeared without a trace, and then the whole world darkened.
