The snow in the North was blown by the wind on the mountains. They were like dry dust that was blown up and gathered into a sandstorm. It also looks like pale pigment that spreads along the ridges of the mountain and fills the fold and compression zones of the mountain. They crawled quietly under the unclear sky, like moldy corpses of ancient beasts.
Siming and Ye Changong walked through many places in the Northern Kingdom, and Bai Zang followed them, walking gracefully with her tail tied, as if Her Majesty the Empress was never willing to put down her flags.
Ye Changong has changed into decent clothes.
The clothes are made of cotton and fall quietly against the skin. It's just that these expensive clothes, when worn on her body, matched her skin and looked like burlap clothes.
They were walking in the woods of the Northland.
Winter in the North came overnight. Yesterday, half of the white trees with yellow leaves were hanging on them. Today, they were all bare. The forest was completely silent. There were only occasional pedestrians on the mountain road, passing by carrying burdens. For this reason, The two men and the cat who were walking together were completely unaware.
Ye Chan Palace walked all the way forward. There was a river cliff in front of it. The river was Wushui River, rushing towards Beiming. Although the water quality of Wushui River is clear, it is stained by the surrounding rock walls and has a dark brown color.
"Cross the Wushui River, then cross the mountains and move forward, you can see the Luo River." Ye Changong said: "The Luo River rushes from the middle of the earth, bypassing the Shenhua Tower, and eventually it will Merge into Beiming."
Siming asked: "That third gentleman, Ji Xuan, is the owner of the Shenhua Building, right?"
"Yes." Ye Changong replied: "He was Xuanze in his previous life."
Siming was slightly shocked. He had never thought that the third gentleman in red had such a powerful background.
Bai Zang also looked over in surprise.
When Ji Xuan revealed his identity, she was in the Broken Boundary City and did not know it. Only now did she know that Xuanze, one of the Six Gods of Taichu, the former lord of rivers, seas and lakes, was still alive in the world.
Bai Zang couldn't help but fell into deep thought again... It's not surprising that the seven disciples all have extraordinary backgrounds. I think Ye Chan Palace had some considerations when he rescued them. So what role will each of them play in the third hunting country war?
Ye Changong said softly: "Nuwa, Five Emperors, Xuanze, Zhurong, Cangjie, Baize... these are all the disciples of that generation."
"Huh? What about Ning Changjiu? Has he been expelled from the school?" Siming asked doubtfully.
Ye Changong lowered her head slightly and looked at Wu Shui. She spoke softly, but there was no sound. Her words seemed to merge with the sound of the water.
Siming could feel her slightly fluctuating emotions. Sometimes the wind blew, and a piece of her hair was lifted up like a shadow. The hair lifted up slightly and fell down again. That's all.
Siming looked at her, pursed his soft red lips, and smiled softly: "Well, I understand, Ning Jiujiu is a disciple of our generation... I am the senior sister, he is the second junior brother, Lu Marion and Zhao Xiang'er are the elders Three old and four!”
Bai Zang meowed, thinking that it's already this time, the dark sun is coming soon, why are you still thinking about this? If Ye Chan Palace is like you, how can this God Lord be reduced to this
Ye Changong did not refute.
"Let's go, I'm a little cold."
The water in Wuhe River was cold, and Ye Changong felt that she should be cold, so she folded her arms and curled up tighter.
Siming asked: "Want to cross the river and visit the bank of Luoshui? Xiaoli... Luo Shen seems to be an old friend of Master."
Ye Changong shook his head gently: "I won't go."
Siming didn't ask any more questions.
Bai Zang raised his head, looked at the girl-like girl, and meowed a few times in confusion, which translated into: "Hang'e, are you really not scared? You wasted these two days walking around the world, just trying to feel The human world? Or are you actually at your wits’ end now?”
Ye Changong looked at Bai Zang and said: "You think too much... I have never been a wise man who plots against heaven and man. Four thousand years ago, foreign gods invaded, and I felt unjust so I went to the human world. Seven hundred years ago , I had a grudge against Quanfu, so I killed Quanfu."
Bai Zang meow meow: "Heng'e, why are you pretending to be innocent and innocent? Then I have no enmity with you, so why are you plotting against me?"
Ye Changong said: "The fish jumped into the pot in front of me, so of course I had to cover the pot."
"..." Bai Zang was resentful, knowing that she was scolding herself for being stupid, but she didn't know how to refute.
Siming crossed his arms across his chest and stared coldly at Bai Zang with his clear, icy eyes, "Presumptuous! How did you talk to Master?"
Bai Zang felt something bad, and then she pulled him up and screamed repeatedly.
Ye Chan Palace is walking on the rugged cliff path.
Occasionally, the waves hit the rocks and break into drizzle.
The angles of sunlight and shadow change in the cold north, and morning turns to sunset in the blink of an eye.
Ye Changong saw the waves of the Wu River, saw the ice lotus on the mountainside, walked and stopped in this strange world, and finally looked at the Luo River from a distance.
The water surface of Luohe River is endless, and the setting sun falls into it, dyeing the river water red.
Ye Changong looked at the bloody river and vaguely saw a woman standing there who refused to fall until she died.
The enchanting and sad world becomes blurry as the setting sun falls.
They crossed the sparse villages and towns nearby and entered the nearest city.
When entering the city, Bai Zang was forced by Shi Ming to become a girl.
Bai Zang was wearing a molten silver dress, with pride still written on her cold and majestic face. She looked at Si Ming, bit her lip, and said: "You... when you enter the city later, can you stop wearing chains?" Hold me."
"Lord Bai Zang, are you still afraid of being embarrassed?" Si Mingqing sneered.
Bai Zang said angrily: "Don't go too far! You...where did you learn these methods? Shouldn't Yi have taught you this in detail?"
The slender woman with long hair and black robe stopped.
She looked at the silver girl who didn't know whether to live or die, and asked: "What did you just say?"
Bai Zang felt a chill in her heart and wanted to give in, but her dignity did not allow her to bow her head: "Humph, you must have been fooled by me, right?"
Siming suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just leave you alone."
Bai Zang vaguely felt that this was not a good thing.
The streets of the northern city are deserted.
Siming stood in the middle, holding Ye Changong in one hand and Bai Zang in the other, like a young wife going shopping with her two daughters.
The death row keel around Bai Zang's neck turned around and disguised itself as a necklace. The end connected to the chain hung down along the back collar of his clothes. The chain was obviously very long, but it did not fall to the ground.
Bai Zang pursed his lips, lowered his head, no longer majestic, and said nothing.
Siming took them to have a meal and found an inn to stay.
Ye Changong closed the doors and windows, rolled up a quilt, and wrapped it around her body. She sat in a chair, looked at Bai Zang, and said, "Tell me about it."
"Ah?" Bai Zang was slightly shocked and said, "What did you say?"
Ye Changong said: "About the Dark Lord, about the other God Lords, about me... and everything you know."
Bai Zang said: "I know it, you know it too, there's nothing more to say."
Ye Changong stretched out his hand.
Bai Zang thought that the death row dragon bone punishment was about to be imposed again. She was just ready to endure the severe pain, but she saw a touch of crescent moon white appear in Ye Changong's palm.
Bai Zang's pupils narrowed and he blurted out:
"Dust?!"
This was a fragment of dusty authority, a treasure incomparable to anything in her eyes.
Ye Changong closed his hand and said, "Say something that satisfies me, and I can slowly return them to you."
Bai Zang's thin lips were pursed like a knife's edge. She stood not far in front of Ye Chan Palace, and the silver covering her body seemed to be boiling.
Ye Changong was not impatient either. She gathered the dust into her sleeves and leaned back on the wooden chair. It was obviously a little girl's body, but the vicissitudes of the changes in the mountains and seas were revealed.
Si Ming stood aside quietly and did not interrupt. He just poured tea for Ye Chan Palace.
Bai Zang took a deep breath, spoke softly, and said: "Hang'e, actually these days, you seem to be traveling the world with us, but actually... you are running away, no, or rather, you are avoiding something. !”
Ye Changong didn't answer. She took a sip of tea. She couldn't tell the difference between strong and weak, but just moistened her lips.
"What am I running from?" Ye Changong asked.
Bai Zang said: "These days we have traveled to the Snow Country in the North. Although this place is in ruins, we have never seen any evil ghosts. This is also unreasonable. The kingdom of gods has been opened, right?"
Siming looked slightly shocked.
Ye Changong nodded slightly: "Yes."
Bai Zang narrowed his silver-white eyes and said: "The first task of the Kingdom of God must be to kill you with all its strength, and you don't have the confidence to resist the pursuit of the Kingdom of God, so you have been trapping yourself in the North Kingdom since you entered the world. , in fact, he hid himself with a considerable amount of 'hiddenness' to avoid the pursuit of the Kingdom of God, right?"
Ye Changong looked at her calmly and did not answer.
Siming became more and more surprised. She suddenly remembered that they walked from the sea to the lake to the river, and walked through mountains and cities without staying for too long... This seemed like traveling around the mountains and rivers, but was it actually an escape
The more Bai Zang spoke, the more confident he became: "So you don't let Si Mingjian Shuning stay for a long time, and you don't go looking for Nuwa and the Five Emperors, just because you are afraid of exposing your whereabouts, right?"
Ye Changong said: "You have indeed become much smarter now that you are no longer in a high position."
Bai Zang didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Her throne had been taken away, and it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to get it back. Following Chang'e was indeed a way, but it was also a dead end.
The pursuer was on the road at the moment, and her only strength was restrained by the keel. If she didn't stand on Chang'e's side and Chang'e was a little cruel, she would be strangled by the chain around her neck immediately.
Bai Zang stared at her and said: "Hang'e, actually you have been pretending... Without the help of Kuangsi and the Kingdom of God to rely on, you are actually very weak now... I don't understand, holding three powers You, what is the reason that makes you so weak?"
Ye Changong listened quietly and did not say anything about the world being turned upside down for twelve years. That was an unimaginable power for a god like Bai Zang.
Ye Changong asked: "Apart from these? What else have you guessed after you have been with me for so long?"
Bai Zang shook his head slightly and said: "No, I just don't understand even more. What is the source of your courage to preside over the third hunting country battle and challenge the dark master? I... don't see any possibility of winning."
"I can't see it either." Ye Changong said.
Bai Zang said: "Then why did you do all this? Martyrdom?"
Ye Changong was wrapped in quilt and huddled in the chair without making any answer. Siming once again felt the loneliness that belonged to Yue. She opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something gentle to comfort her, but there was a clang in her ears. .
This was the sound of a window being blown open by the wind, but it was not my own window. Those are the windows of every house in the rest of the city.
On the street, there was an unknown dark wind, and wherever the strong wind passed, the windows opened with a clang like dominoes that had been pushed down. For a while, the fallen leaves were blown by the sand and dust in the strong wind.
"he came."
Ye Changong raised his head, looked at the closed window, and said.
"Master..." Siming murmured, Wu Xia asked, and without hesitation, he took out the black sword and stopped in front of him.
Bai Zang's pupils shrank and he immediately said: "Who? Is it Tianji or Quanlin?"
The words just fell.
The sound of the window opening sounded like thunder in my ears.
The cold wind blew on the back of her neck, Bai Zang's body twitched, and her delicate silver body shivered. She turned her head and heard the discordant sounds coming from the long street.
…
…
Gu Ling Sect and Piao Miao Tower are similar.
At this time, the Sword Master had not yet swam across the million-mile distance between Beiming and Nanming. However, on the evening of the second day, Ning Changjiu saw the outline of the Piaomiao Tower on the shore of the iron-liquid sea.
Piao Miao Tower, like Luoshu Tower, is a huge tower that reaches into the sky and occupies a huge area. It preserves the history from two thousand years ago to one thousand years ago.
Ning Jiujiu is not very interested in this period of history.
There were no major twists and turns on the way to Nanming.
Liu Xiwan used the excuse of "getting along" to get close to Ning Changjiu. Lu Jiayou complained about this, but she didn't say much in the current situation.
The sound of Nanming's waves rang in my ears.
This sea area that was once churning with ancient dragons has not changed much due to his arrival.
Yu Qing held Fuchen in her arms and looked at them from a distance.
After Ning Jiujiu left the Ancient Spirit Sect, he wrote to Piaomiao Tower in the name of Siming and informed him of his intention to visit. But despite this, the Immortal Suppressing Sword of Piao Miao Tower was still pointing at them from afar, ready to be used at any time.
"Do you want to go into the building and have a look?" Lu Marian asked.
Like Luoshu Tower, Piao Miao Tower also has three five-path masters in charge, but for Ning Changjiu, except for Yu Qing, the other two are nothing to fear.
When Ning Changshang was still hesitating, Yu Qing flicked her dust and withdrew all the swords of Suppressing Immortals.
The voice of the Taoist female crown came from afar: "Although I avoid the world, I do not avoid guests. Since I have come from afar, let's come in."
Ning Jiujiu quietly opened the Taiyin Eye. After confirming that they were fine, he nodded to Lu Jiaomei and Liu Xiwan, and the three of them entered the building together.
Yu Qing personally welcomed their arrival.
"Miss Lu, long time no see." Yu Qing smiled at Lu Wenwen.
Marry Lu returned the gift.
Yu Qing looked at Ning Jiujiu and said, "Is this Mr. Zhang Jiuzhang who became famous on the Tianbang list last year?"
She knew that Zhang Jiu was not called Zhang Jiu, and she also knew that he must have an extraordinary status. Because it is absolutely impossible for any disciple to reach the peak of the Purple Court Realm and approach the peak of the Five Paths in one year.
As for his true background, not even Yu Qing tried to ask.
The higher your realm, the more you understand the truth that there is heaven outside the sky.
Ning Jiujiu nodded and said politely: "Zhang has met Mr. Yu."
Yu Qing also gave a gift.
She looked at Liu Xiwan with gentle eyes and said, "Is this a disciple of Jiange?"
Liu Xiwan nodded.
Now that the Heavenly List has been issued and the words are harsh, the whole world knows that Liu Xiwan was expelled from the Jiange.
Yu Qing didn't ask deeply.
Ever since the ancient spirit sect returned without success, she had made up her mind to escape from the world and practice wholeheartedly. Even if the world was in turmoil again, she would never leave the mountain. She just wanted to find a way to live on the sea forever and protect herself wisely.
Although this move is not unrestrained, does a person who cannot live for tens of millions of years deserve to be called an immortal
She led the three of them to walk around the building at will. The Piaomiao Building was huge, and it would take a lot of energy to truly visit it for a week.
"I wonder why Mr. Zhang is visiting the building this time?" Yu Qing asked casually: "Are you interested in the history of one thousand to two thousand years ago?"
Ning Changjiu said: "I was trapped in Luoshu, trapped in the torrent of history, and almost died. I still feel scared. If Master Yu has similar means, I hope he will show mercy."
Yu Qing smiled and said: "Luo Shu is a unique divine creature in this world. Pian Miao Lou only feels envious of him, but he doesn't have this opportunity."
As she spoke, she suddenly realized something. Before Luoshu Tower was destroyed, they happened to be trapped in Luoshu... In other words, Luoshu Tower's destruction was probably caused by them.
Yu Qing felt a chill in her heart and regretted letting them in.
She lowered her hands and twisted the wooden handle of the whisk.
Yu Qing led them upstairs.
There is no pavilion shape inside the Piaomiao Tower. Each floor is like a fairy mountain mansion shrouded in clouds and mist. Golden boys and girls come and go, cranes and white deer fly around. They hold nectar and jade liquid, and hold peaches and flowers in their mouths. , like an unfolding picture scroll.
Liu Xiwan looked at these curiously.
She found that her attire was incompatible with the style of painting here, while Lu Jianwen and Yu Qing were wearing snow-white sword robes and clear Taoist robes, and the clouds and mist looked like fairies from another world.
In the building, they rode on the crane, passed through the clouds and fog in the blink of an eye, and arrived at the top floor of the Piaomiao Building.
A thousand years of history are basically intact and engraved here.
Ning Changjiu seemed to have died at the beginning of that thousand years in his last life, and nothing major happened after that.
Yu Qing said: "This building is the forbidden area of Piao Miao Tower. You are distinguished guests, so I will make an exception to bring you here. However, you must not go deeper into the important area ahead. If you are interested in a certain period of time, I can personally arrange it for you." "
"Thank you, Lord Yu." Ning Changjiu smiled.
In Piaomiao Tower, Yu Qing treated them very warmly and thoughtfully.
Lu Marry knew that this was her attempt to make up for her mistake of breaking into the Ancient Spirit Sect without permission.
Ning Jiujiu selected a few pieces of history and read through them.
In these histories, there are no records of big figures at the level of God Lords, so it is of little significance to him.
As evening approached, Yu Qing ordered someone to clean the quiet room for them.
Ning Jiujiu declined.
He only said that he had something urgent to do, so he went to the building to look at the sea later, and left after fulfilling his long-cherished wish to watch the sea.
Yu Qing didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
She also just wanted to send these three uninvited guests away as soon as possible, then close the building to clear customs, and not be born again for a hundred years.
On the beach of Piaomiao Tower, the night wind blows.
Lu Marry and Liu Xiwan stood beside Ning Changjiu, looking at the black sea water with him.
"What are you doing here?" After Yu Qing left temporarily, Liu Xiwan couldn't help but ask: "You can't be here to see the landlord Yu, right?"
"He dares?" Lu Jiaojian said coldly.
Liu Xiwan curled her lips and said: "Master Lu, what can't this evil man do? Stop pretending to be evil. You have been a soft-spoken person since you were a child. I'm watching you... uh uh... "
Lu Marry covered her mouth.
"Why are you, a sword spirit, like your master?" Lu Marion scolded, "Don't ruin the virtue of our Tianku Peak when you go out."
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said: "Isn't the sword spirit the sword that I forged in my previous life? Isn't it true that Marry is scolding herself by saying this?"
"You..." Lu Marian's cheeks bulged slightly, but she didn't know how to refute, and said: "Okay, don't delay, I have business in Nanming here!"
"Yes." Ning Changjiu nodded gently and looked at the sea solemnly.
He believes that everything in the world is not a coincidence.
Back in the ruins of the Skeleton Tower, he accidentally touched that consciousness deep in the ruins, so... it should be a guide.
Ningjiu sat down and meditated by the sea for a long time.
The Eye of Taiyin opened and instantly covered the sea water centered on Piaomiao Tower.
Ning could hear the breathing of the sea for a long time, and see the movement of every fish and the sinking of every algae in the sea. The waves above and the undercurrent below were visualized in his mind. They were like marks of elements, no matter how different they were. There is no occlusion effect.
Ning Jiujiu's consciousness sank to the bottom of the sea.
Most of the seabed is soft sand, dark and cold.
Ning Jiujiu seemed to have been sitting there and forgotten. He used the Yin and Yang Towering Ceremony to make his spirit soar farther away, so as to pry into the secrets buried in the deep sea on a larger scale.
He searched all the way but got no results.
Lu Marry and Liu Xiwan were waiting anxiously.
After a while, Ning Changjiu let out a soft sigh in his heart, and his spirit stopped at the edge of what the Taiyin Eye could exhaust.
There is a huge pit hidden in the sea.
The pit was dark, and it was unknown what was buried.
Ning Jiujiu's consciousness penetrated little by little.
His heartbeat was also getting faster and faster.
The Taiyin Eye penetrated into the sand like sea water, and he touched a soft thing. That thing seemed to be a consciousness—the same as the consciousness of the ruins of the skeleton tower, this consciousness also strongly expressed the same emotion.
Just when he wanted to explore deeper, in the Zi Mansion, the Golden Crow crowed unexpectedly like a rooster at dawn, making a loud and dangerous cry.
While Liu Xiwan and Lu Jianjian were still looking at Nanming, Ning Jiujiu opened his eyes suddenly and forcibly pulled back his energy and gaze.
The Golden Crow flew out and absorbed Liu Xiwan and Lu Jiayou, who were still a little dull.
The golden light swept their figures and disappeared from the sea viewing platform of Piao Miao Tower.
Almost at the same time, the sea viewing platform was hit by a huge force and fell into pieces into the sea water.
A golden spear was inserted into the sea, almost as high as the Piaomiao Tower.
…
The same scene happened near the Western Kingdom.
After the Kingdom of Yufu was shattered, the senior sister and the second senior brother, as the priests and kings of the Kingdom of God, were forced to leave and return to the world.
They didn't know where their master was at the moment, so they chose the safest place in the west as the landing point, because Xihe was currently sitting in the Three Thousand Worlds of the Western Kingdom.
Without the moon, the power of senior sister and second senior brother is also greatly reduced.
As night fell, their whereabouts were finally discovered, and the Kingdom of God's attack fell from the sky.
…
In the Kingdom of God in the sky, a golden divine figure looked down at everything expressionlessly.
Northern Kingdom, Southern Kingdom, and Western Kingdom.
He divided his force into three parts and struck three completely different places.
This is difficult for other God Lords to do, but for him, it is not difficult.
Because he has three war horses.
The top one is the golden horse, the middle one is the silver horse, and the lower one is the bronze horse.
At this moment, the bronze divine horse is in the northern kingdom, the silver divine horse is in the southern sea, and the golden divine horse is in the western kingdom.
He is the God Lord Tianji.
