The Northland is separated from the Middle Kingdom by the sea, and the weather is cold and gloomy. Even in midsummer, snow occasionally falls. It is now autumn, and there are no leaves except for green pines and cypresses on the thousands of mountains. The snow from last year on many mountain tops has not yet melted, and it is still the same. It's a white-haired look.
The three of them walked for a while. Because Ye Changong's skirt was too long, Si Ming held the bone chain, while Ye Changong walked alone holding the hem of her skirt. She lowered her head slightly and took very small steps. , more like a child who has just learned to walk.
Si Ming followed her slowly. If he put aside the disasters he had experienced or had yet to come, it felt like he was taking his daughter and cat on an outing.
Bai Zang also walked slowly. She raised her head, raised her tail, and walked gracefully. She looked very proud.
They walked like this, through sparse woods and fields. Amidst the sound of stepping on the grass, the clouds in the sky were constantly pushed by the wind. In the blink of an eye, the sun was also pushed over, hanging above their heads, casting their shadows. Hidden.
Si Ming was originally a goddess at the pinnacle of the world, but now, she is holding the Lord of God in her hand and following the Moon God by her side. Over time, this seemingly ordinary scene turns out to be the pinnacle of her thousand-year monastic career...
"Do you want me to go to the town to find a shop and help Master change into clothes that fit him?" Siming asked softly.
"Let's talk about it later when we enter the city." Ye Changong said.
"Then... it doesn't look good for Master's hair to be spread out like this. Do you want me to help you comb it up?" Si Ming lowered his head and looked at this extremely beautiful little girl tenderly, as if he was aroused by some kind of radiance. It's concern.
"..." Ye Changong always spoke with a calm tone: "Well, what kind of hair do you know how to braid?"
Siming pursed his lips and thought for a while, then hesitated and said, "I, I know how to braid my hair."
Ye Changong looked at the fallen wood in front of him and said, "Next time."
Si Ming felt a little regretful.
Bai Zang walked gracefully aside, listening to their conversation. Bai Zang narrowed his cat eyes, twitched his ears slightly, and couldn't help laughing. She couldn't imagine Chang'e's childish appearance with pigtails. Ha, such a good girl. No matter what color your hair is dyed, it will look unsightly. If I were Chang'e, I would definitely not be able to tolerate this kind of following.
"Why are you laughing?" Siming noticed Bai Zang.
Bai Zang ignored her, thinking to himself, why can you still argue with me, a young tiger
Then, Bai Zang felt a chill coming down her back. She turned her head and looked at Siming, only to find that Siming was staring at her with narrowed eyes.
"Master Bai Zang, your hair seems to be quite long." Siming tried eagerly.
"Meow, meow, meow?" Bai Zang was a little confused, then he understood, and was hugged by Siming while moaning.
When he put it down again, a small whip had been tied around Bai Zang's neck, looking like a white lion with a circle of small bells hanging on it.
Bai Zang gritted his teeth and stared at Siming, imagining revenge in his heart. When she was led away again, her head lowered a little because of shame. When she walked, her flesh pads stepped on Siming's shadow angrily, as if like this, she was going to kill her. Trampled down.
Seeing Bai Zang's angry and incompetent look, Siming would not forget to ridicule him from time to time, making the white cat furious.
"By the way, Master, is there a way to wash off the color of my hair?" Siming was very concerned about this matter.
"Yes." Ye Changong replied affirmatively.
"What should I do?" Siming asked with concern.
Ye Changong recalled: "The fire of the phoenix can burn it away... In short, go find Xiang'er."
Siming's mood suddenly dropped again.
"Then... are Ning Changjiu and the others okay now?" Siming asked again.
"When I left the Moon Palace, they were already in the Southern Wilderness. They should have crossed the Wuyun Sea and are about to arrive at the Ancient Spirit Sect." Ye Changong said.
Knowing that they were fine, Si Ming felt a little more relaxed. She hesitated whether to write a sword letter and send it back, but looking at the calm and cold look of the master next to her, she felt more at ease.
"I'm tired."
Beside a clear stream, Ye Changong stopped.
They walked a lot of roads, but these roads would not be tiring for an immortal. Ye Changong seemed to be imagining that he was a human being - if he were a human being, he would be very tired after walking here.
Then she also felt tired.
Siming didn't ask about the reason, he just took his master to sit down on the withered lawn under a big tree, and then tied Bai Zang to a small tree nearby like a dog.
The white cat is sitting and licking its paws.
Ye Changong was caged in Xuanqing Taoist skirt, leaning against a tree trunk, looking up at the clouds in the sky, and said: "I feel that this world is a bit strange."
Siming said: "It must be that Master has not been to the human world for a long time."
Ye Changong nodded and said: "Maybe."
"Well, Master, don't worry too much. It will take at least many years for the Dark Lord to come." Si Ming sat beside her, hugged his knees, and said with a gentle smile: "As a senior sister of this incredible generation, I will definitely stay with Master all the time."
Ye Changong was noncommittal.
Bai Zang turned into a human form.
The beautiful silver girl was tied by an iron chain, sitting under a tree, saying: "The dark lord will come sooner than you think!"
Siming asked: "Why?"
Bai Zang spoke quietly and said: "Because I can feel that it has begun to really wake up."
Siming asked: "What exactly is the Dark Lord?"
Bai Zang shook his head and said, "I don't know either. All I can feel is a hazy consciousness."
"Then why was it sleeping before?" Siming asked again.
Bai Zang said: "Perhaps the two hunting wars also consumed a lot of energy from the dark master... Although the manpower is limited, it is not completely useless."
Si Mingsi was worried about this, and Ye Changong suddenly looked at Bai Zang and asked, "If you were the dark master, what would you do next?"
Bai Zang said straightforwardly: "I will light up every star, let the God Lord coexist in the world for one year, and kill all the rebels in this year!"
But it is very likely that the world will not be able to withstand the coexistence of the twelve gods and lords, and will enter the collapse of the extinction of all life in advance.
Bai Zang didn't care about any of this.
Ye Changong said calmly: "If you become the secret master, maybe we can win."
Bai Zang was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had been humiliated.
She was very angry, but she didn't dare to explode. She punched the tree trunk with her fist as if to vent her anger. Then, two fruits, one large and one small, were shaken off the tree and hit Bai Zang on the head at the same time.
"Meow-"
Bai Zang groaned, and she angrily grabbed the two fruits and stared at them, thinking about why they were different sizes but hit her at the same time.
Just as he was thinking about it, Siming picked up a stone and hit it on the trunk of the tree. The trunk shook violently and all the fruits shook together. Bai Zang was shocked and turned into a beast. His petite body ran along the trunk. At the top of the tree, he shouted angrily at Siming, reprimanding her for her viciousness.
Ye Changong ignored their quarrel.
She kept looking at the sky, and suddenly realized that even though she was in the world, her heart was always in the sky... Does the world really mean anything to her
She couldn't help but recall the past many years ago.
Over the years, Ye Changong has rarely recalled her life. She found that since Chang Xi lived in the Moon Palace, she had always been indifferent whether it was killing people or saving people.
She just does what she thinks is right. Just like when there is no light at night, she borrows another ray of light from the sun to add some bright color to the dull world. This does not require a reason. If one day, the world can have all-night supper, there is no need to look for that little glimmer of light, and I will be forgotten, or just regarded as a symbol...
Ye Changong leaned against the tree trunk. When the wind blew past her, it still seemed like a meaningless shadow.
On the other side, Siming shook the tree, knocking Bai Zang off the tree, and then picked up a dogtail grass to tease her. Bai Zang was extremely humiliated, but because of her innate nature, she couldn't help but stretch out her claws to grab Siming's grass.
"By the way, does Mr. Bai Zang know how to fish?" Siming looked at the stream in front of him and had a sudden thought.
Bai Zang meowed indifferently, as if he felt that a low-level life like a fish was not worth taking action.
Siming untied the rope and dragged Bai Zang to the river.
Bai Zang looked at the fish swimming freely in the water, and her heart felt fierce. She spotted one, and her claws dropped and retracted like lightning.
She caught nothing and the fish were frightened and ran away.
Bai Zang didn't believe in evil and tried many times. It was clear that her aim was accurate, but she always missed the fish, as if what she saw was just a phantom swimming in the water.
Ye Changong's cold voice came from behind.
"Land and water are two worlds, and the water surface is the barrier between the two worlds. If you look at the world through the barrier, what you see is different from the real thing... Many years ago, Nezha had a fight with the Dragon King, and the dragon dived into the water. , Nezha was hanging in the sky, and Nezha realized this truth at that time."
Bai Zang drooped his ears, meowed, and retracted his paws angrily. He seemed to be convinced, but what he was thinking in his heart was: You are the only one who knows better!
Siming noticed her dissatisfaction and placed his snow feet on the cat's back as punishment.
Bai Zang was stepped on by her, and he glanced up along his jade feet with disdain in his heart, thinking that you and I are also of the same species...
"I'm well rested."
Ye Changong said.
So the three of them continued their outing.
It's extremely cold in the north, and the cold wind blowing against his face was like a knife. Ye Changong felt that he should be cold, so he tightened his body and pretended to be cold.
Siming looked at her and sighed softly in his heart.
As they approached the city, scattered snow fell in the sky. At the gate of the city, Si Ming and Ye Changong both changed their faces and looked like ordinary women.
Siming casually forged a customs clearance document and handed it to the guard.
The guard checked the document and asked, "Where are you mother and daughter from?"
Mother and daughter…
Siming glanced at the master and saw that the master had no reaction, so he acted like a family wine and said: "We are from the south to visit our relatives."
The guard looked at the little girl wearing ill-fitting clothes and asked: "Is this really your daughter? Could it be a trafficker... Evil has been rampant in the city recently, and believers often hold living sacrifices. You..."
"Mother."
Ye Changong raised his head, looked at Si Ming, and called out crisply, interrupting the guard's words.
Siming's heart trembled, but he smiled and said in an easy-going manner: "What's wrong with Xiao Chan'er?"
Ye Changong said: "I'm cold."
Si Ming picked her up gently and held her in his arms. He said with kind eyes, "Be good, little Chan'er. I will take you to see your father later."
"Okay." Ye Changong said.
Bai Zang listened, extremely shocked, wondering why you two gods are so boring
The guard looked at their intimate appearance and realized that he had misunderstood. He immediately let them go without saying another word.
After arriving in the city, Siming still held Ye Chan Palace in his arms like the bright moon and ice and snow.
Ye Changong didn't struggle and let her hold him.
"I'm hungry." Ye Changong said.
Siming looked at her infinitely tenderly and immediately took his 'daughter' to the restaurant.
"Have you brought any money?" Ye Changong asked.
Siming thought for a while and said, "You can leave Bai Zang to do odd jobs and let her attract money at the counter."
Bai Zang: "Meow meow meow?"
Si Ming is rich, and all the money was collected from Ning Changchun.
She ordered some food, and the two of them sat around the table, and the chatter of the waiter could be heard.
Now the whole world is debating about the disappearance of the moon. Some people say that it is caused by the power of a foolish king. Some people say that the moon is like a candle and the wax has burned out at this moment. Some people say that the Tengu of this eclipse is too powerful and the moon is destroyed. It was swallowed into the belly and could not come out. The more mainstream view is that the moon broke and fell into the North Hades Sea. The meteors these days are proof.
Everyone argued endlessly, and finally someone criticized the case and said, what is there to argue about? If the moon is gone, it is gone. On weekdays, just carry an extra lantern when traveling. If the sun goes out one day, that will be a big deal.
Siming sounded very angry, and she looked at Ye Changong with some worry.
Ye Changong nodded and said softly: "What they said is actually right."
She casually took down two chopsticks and stopped eating.
Only Bai Zang was eating very seriously, which made Siming once doubt whether he was catching Bai Zang or Taotie.
After leaving the restaurant, they went to look at other places.
The northern country is desolate, and even some markets are sparsely populated. Looking around, you can only see dried corn hanging like antiques.
They also saw paper-cuts of the moon posted on the doors of many homes, as if praying for the moon's reappearance.
Ye Changong and Siming took advantage of the situation to eliminate all the cults in the city, and then stopped by a river.
She looked at the river, as if watching the passing time, and whispered:
"Life has been endless for generations... Maybe it's time for me to return the moon to the world."
…
…
Middle Earth.
Ning Changjiu, Lu Marry, and Shao Xiaoli have crossed the sea of no luck and arrived in China again.
Ning Jiujiu was like a disaster star. After his arrival, great events happened frequently in the originally prosperous Middle-earth. Disasters almost followed his footsteps, from Haiguo and Luoshu Tower to the City of Ten Thousand Demons.
After he left, there was peace in China.
Now that I'm back again, I don't know what big trouble it will cause...
He casually expressed his thoughts, and Lu Marian thought deeply about it. She smiled and asked whether she, as a righteous fairy, should kill relatives and eliminate harm for the people. Shao Xiaoli took the initiative to blame himself, saying that the master's trip to Middle-earth did not go well last time because he did not take himself as a lucky star with him. It was really shameful for the disciple to fail to share the master's worries.
The three of them chatted and laughed casually, and arrived at the Ancient Spirit Sect near dusk.
Gu Ling Sect still looks like a famous sect, with ten peaks standing in the setting sun, looking well organized.
In the Netherworld Ancient Kingdom, the Nine Nether Fish King and the others could also feel that the moon had disappeared, and they were also very frightened.
Jiuyou insists that this is the sky dog swallowing the moon, because Ming Xiang is a dog in the human zodiac order, and according to her classic theory, "Ming is noble, Jun is light, Snake Princess comes second", Quan Lin and Yuan Jun There is nothing to fear, Ming Xiu should be their biggest enemy.
Now the Dark Lord must have used his magical power to awaken Ming Xie and let him eat the moon! When the time comes for Ming Xie to build the plank road and the dark master to save Chen Cang, the dark sun will fall...
After Ning Xiaoling sat on the throne of Netherworld, she also awakened some ancient memories, some of which were about Netherworld.
At the time of the war between the gods, Ming Xie was an ancient demon with the blood of the gods. He was the leader among the gods and demons. He liked to live in high mountains - his kingdom of gods was probably located on the highest mountain in the world. superior.
Ming Xie has almost never failed in his life, and is extremely loyal to the Dark Lord. If Ming Xie really comes, he may be the most terrifying one among the God Lords today.
The political affairs in the Nether Ancient Kingdom were basically left to the Fish King to take care of. Ning Xiaoling used the power of the ancient country to spy on the sky all day long, paying attention to any clues.
Useless is Jiuyou.
It was almost evening, and when Ning Xiaoling was about to close her eyes and rest for a while, a familiar figure was reflected in her sea of consciousness.
"Master...senior brother..."
Ning Xiaoling repeatedly confirmed that she had read it correctly.
Hmm...who is that little girl next to them? Liu Xiwan
The Fish King opened his eyes, saw Ning Xiaoling's slight abnormality, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ning Xiaoling said: "Master and the others... are back."
Jiuyou's expression lit up and he said, "Isn't this a good thing?"
"Well, it's a good thing..." Ning Xiaoling responded and smiled lightly.
After returning to the Ancient Spirit Sect, Ning Changjiu and Lu Jianjian did not waste time reminiscing about anything. They only went to the lake to see the master's red fish leaves in the lake, and then went straight to the ruins of Jiuyou Palace. Meet Xiaoling.
The expressions of Ning Jiujiu and Lu Jiaoyuan were earnest, but Shao Xiaoli was the only one who was nervous.
They sank into the thin sea of darkness.
Ning Xiaoling stepped down from the throne and took a rare moment to take care of herself in front of the big mirror. She was extremely happy in her heart, but she had been highly concentrated for a long time in Quanlinyue, and her eyebrows were inevitably a little weak at this moment.
Jiuyou was running around her, combing her hair and picking out clothes for her, and was even more excited than she was.
They met at the gate of the Netherworld Ancient Palace.
Ning Xiaoling was wearing a pear-colored skirt, standing gracefully, watching her master and brother walking from a distance, and the little girl wearing master's clothes followed behind them.
"Junior sister, long time no see." Ning Jiujiu came to her.
"Xiao Ling, how are you these days?" Lu Marian looked at her with concern, feeling that this disciple had lost weight again.
"Senior brother, master." Ning Xiaoling looked at them and smiled softly, her eyebrows crescent like crescent moons. She held their hands respectively, led them towards the hall, and whispered: "Many months After that, I still think you are no longer young."
Shao Xiaoli was left alone outside the palace, thinking that Ning Xiaoling deliberately ignored him, it must be Yan'er's fault.
Xiao Li hesitated for a while, but still followed, and was shocked by the majestic Hades Palace.
The Fish King looked at these two old friends, raised his paw and said hello.
Jiuyou looked at them and was a little excited.
Ning looked at Ning Xiaoling's face for a long time and said distressedly: "Junior sister, you should have a good rest and don't work too hard for your senior brother and master."
"Well, Xiaoling is relieved to see that you are all fine." Ning Xiaoling said softly.
Lu Marian asked: "Will anything else happen after I leave?"
"Well... not anymore."
"Then has your sister Xue Ci come back?"
"Not even."
After Ning Xiaoling answered, she said with relief: "It's okay. Xiaoling is so stupid and can take care of herself. Sister Xueci is so powerful, she will be fine."
Seeing Ning Xiaoling becoming more sensible as she grew up, Lu Marian couldn't help but give her a hug.
Ning Jiuchuya stroked her hair sympathetically and asked many questions about her current situation.
Shao Xiaoli followed without saying a word, and finally couldn't help it and coughed twice.
Ning Xiaoling then looked at her and asked, "This sister is so beautiful, I wonder if she is..."
"Shao Xiaoli." Shao Xiaoli answered to himself and said: "My younger sister is also beautiful and cute, which is enviable."
"Oh, it turns out to be Miss Xiao Li..." Ning Xiaoling knew her. When she heard the name, she was very alert. Now that she saw the other party, she couldn't help but feel a little hostile.
"I heard my senior brother talk about Miss Shao a long time ago, and now I see her she is indeed extraordinary." Ning Xiaoling said.
"Me too." Shao Xiaoli responded, always feeling that there was a hidden meaning in the other person's words.
Ning Xiaoling asked: "I wonder what state Miss Shao is in?"
Shao Xiaoli said: "The eighth floor of Zitingjing."
Ning Xiaoling nodded and said, "Miss Xiao Li shouldn't be much older than me, right? Her level is only slightly inferior to mine. She's really amazing."
"You..." Shao Xiaoli frowned, thinking that the person who came here was indeed evil. She took a deep breath and said: "Where is Xiaoling sitting in the kingdom of the underworld, like a god, I can't compare. It's a pity that Xiaoling can't get out. You can only let me do the work for you and accompany Master on his travels."
Ning Xiaoling narrowed her eyes and nodded: "Yes, this palace of Hades is so big. I relied on my talent and perseverance to become Lord of Hades at a young age, but instead I became lonely..."
Shao Xiaoli also said: "In my previous life, I was just the Goddess of Luo. I was one of the wives of the legendary master in his previous life. But there is nothing to envy. After all, he is not as famous as Lord Ming."
Ning Xiaoling bit her lip, put her hands behind her back, and said, "The past is just like smoke... I have been with my senior brother for the longest time in this life, and I have a deep love for him."
Shao Xiaoli said: "But why did master marry the master's wife?"
"..." Ning Xiaoling was speechless.
Shao Xiaoli took advantage of the victory and pursued the attack: "You were not around when I was in Duanjie City. I spent the most lonely days with Master!"
Ning Xiaoling counterattacked: "Then why does Senior Brother fall in love with Sister Xue Ci?"
"..." Shao Xiaoli was speechless.
For a time, the two actually developed a feeling of sympathy and sympathy for each other.
Lu Marian looked at them tenderly, thinking it was just a little girl arguing and did not interrupt.
After Ning Jiujiu smelled the smoke, he immediately stayed away from the battlefield in the name of visiting the main hall, for fear of being caught and asked some strange questions.
Ning looked at the Fish King for a long time and asked, "How are you doing lately?"
The Fish King yawned and said, "Everything will be fine after you leave."
Ning Jiujiu was asking for trouble and looked at Jiuyou silently.
Jiuyou was staring at Ning Xiaoling and Shao Xiaoli nervously, drawing something in his hands.
Ning Jiujiu asked: "Your Highness Jiuyou, what are you doing?"
Jiuyou said: "These are rare materials, we must write them down."
Ning Jiujiu asked: "What did you forget to do?"
"Writing poetry, I am a poet now!" Jiuyou said proudly.
Ning Chang long thought that Ming Jun was a great poet, and this little poet should be good at writing, so he asked for some manuscripts to read.
Jiuyou happily handed it over, then looked at his face expectantly, and asked cautiously: "How is the writing...?"
Ning read a few poems for a long time, frowned, and considered: "You must have written many kilograms of such poems, right?"
Jiuyou was stunned for a moment and couldn't tell if he was praising himself. After thinking about it, he realized that this must be a euphemistic way of saying that he was full of literary thoughts.
Jiuyou said happily: "Of course, I will be able to write a book soon!"
Ning Changjiu touched her head to encourage her.
Jiuyou said angrily: "If you touch your head, you won't grow taller."
Ning Jiujiu said: "I am helping you realize your wish as soon as possible."
Jiuyou thought for a while and felt that what he said made sense.
Ning Jiujiu sighed. He originally thought that if Xiaoling was so stupid, he would be plotted by Jiuyou and evaded his power. But now it seems that he was overly worried.
On the other side, Ning Xiaoling and Shao Xiaoli were still communicating in a friendly manner.
"Miss Xiao Li, why are you wearing Master's clothes? They don't fit well. I have a lot of clothes here. I can help you choose two pieces." Ning Xiaoling smiled and led her to the huge wardrobe in Hades Palace.
Shao Xiaoli looked at the floor-to-ceiling mirror, the big wardrobe, and the big bed with the tip of the iceberg exposed, feeling extremely envious.
But she looked as usual and said: "I love wearing the same dress as Master. Ten thousand skirts cannot compare to this."
"Really..." Ning Xiaoling opened her watery eyes and asked, "Would it not affect me if I fight with others in the future?"
Shao Xiaoli said harshly: "We have been traveling all the way. We have seen that the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful and the weather is smooth. There are no ghosts or evil spirits. Why is there any need to fight?"
Ning Xiaoling smiled and said nothing.
Ning Changjiu listened on the sidelines and lamented that Xiaoling and Xiaoli were so docile and cute in private, but why did they become so fierce when they got together
The country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the weather is smooth...
Ning thought about this word casually for a long time, but his steps suddenly stopped.
He raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror. His heart suddenly tightened, but the blood that burst out was cold.
The country is peaceful and the people are safe, the weather is smooth, and there are no ghosts or evil spirits
But Gufushen Kingdom has been closed...
Where did the Godless Moon that was supposed to arrive go
