Ning Chang's dream is orderly.
He could clearly feel that he was swimming in the sea, and the water hugged him and caressed his body gently, without feeling cold or salty. And there seem to be many darker things hidden in the dark sea water.
He swam toward the dark thing floating in the sea.
After getting closer, Ning Jiujiu discovered that it was the spirit swallower.
Are you in the sea of reincarnation? Or is it a dream after coma
He didn't feel any danger, so he swam towards the soul-devourers without thinking about it.
The first thing Ning Jiujiu saw was a monster with only half of its body left. The monster looked like it was made up of countless monsters. It had the beak of an eagle, the horns of a rhinoceros and a body of tangled hair like coarse linen. Its bloody pupils shimmered as it stared straight at Ning Jiujiu.
Ning Jiujiu stretched out his hand, trying to connect to the other person's consciousness, but found that there were dozens of different voices arguing in the other person's mind, and it was a mess, and its self-awareness had collapsed in this chaos.
Ning Jiujiu retracted his hand and continued to swim forward.
In the darkness, every time he walked a certain distance, he could see similar beings. These beings had spent a long time in the sea of ruins, and most of them had merged with each other and became real monsters, unable to communicate.
Some that appear to be in the form of independent monsters still retain relatively complete consciousness.
Ning Jiujiu tried to communicate with some of these consciousnesses.
"Can you hear me?" Ning asked for a long time.
"able."
"What were you when you were alive?"
"Chalk snake."
"How long have you been here?"
"have no idea."
"Why are you here?"
"Deceived."
"Cheating? Who cheated on you?"
"The ghost up there."
For most creatures, their first impression of the Dark Lord is that of ghosts.
"Where do ghosts come from?" Ning asked for a long time.
"I don't know, but it hates the star," said the Snake.
"Resent this star?"
"Yes, it still hates the sun and everything here. It can't be trusted."
As the Chalk Snake spoke, its brief moment of lucidity disappeared. It opened its pitch-black mouth, filled with rows of white sharp teeth, and bit Ning Changjiu.
Ning Jiujiu easily dodged it.
The chalk snake disappeared into the darkness.
Ning Jiujiu continued to swim forward, and he found several more complete consciousness bodies to communicate with, and the answers he received were similar. Like chalk snakes, they cannot stay awake for long. Once the ghost above is mentioned, fear will drive them into madness.
Ning Jiujiu went upstream based on his intuition.
He could feel that the Sea of Reincarnation was originally a dead sea, but now it began to revive and flow.
After an unknown amount of time, he could vaguely see the starlight coming from outside. He knew he was close to the edge.
Outside are the Dark Lord and Starry Sky.
In this sea where only the soul-devourers are left to survive, Ning has been floating alone for a long time.
"Senior brother...senior brother!"
After a long time, the girl's familiar call sounded in my ears.
"Xiao Ling..." Ning Jiujiu came to his senses.
He turned his head and saw a snow-white lucid girl floating behind him, with long hair tied up at the end, swimming towards him like a mermaid.
Ning Jiujiu's consciousness was also a little blurry: "Xiao Ling, why are you here?"
Ning Xiaoling stopped leisurely, put her hands on her hips, puffed up her face, and said angrily: "Senior Brother! If you want to be in a coma, just do it well. Why is your consciousness always running to the sea of samsara? I have to have my junior sister to fish you back every time... Hey, senior brother, why are you so restless?"
Ning Jiujiu asked: "Have I run here many times?"
Ning Xiaoling nodded and said: "Well, not five or six times, but seven or eight times!"
Ning Jiujiu said: "Maybe there is something here that attracts me."
Ning Xiaoling looked around and said, "Attracting you? There is nothing else in the Sea of Reincarnation except the Soul Swallower and the Blind Scale Fish. Hmm... Could it be that Senior Brother wants to go outside?"
As she spoke, the girl stretched out her hand and pointed to the outside world.
Ning Jiujiu looked at the faint starlight coming from the junction, nodded and said: "Maybe."
Ning Xiaoling still puffed up her face and said: "You are not allowed to go outside, everyone is still waiting for you to wake up!"
"Waiting for me to wake up?"
Ning Jiujiu recalled the scene before coma.
He defeated the Juggernaut and sheathed the sword.
The wind and light retreated from the void.
He opened his arms, closed his eyes, and fell freely from the virtual realm.
The sky is getting farther and farther away from him, and the sea is getting closer and closer to him.
When he passed through the clouds, he vaguely saw two familiar figures rushing towards him in the sea of consciousness.
Then he felt like he was falling into a warm embrace and couldn't remember anything after that.
"How long have I been unconscious?" Ning asked for a long time.
"It's been ten days." Ning Xiaoling sighed softly, held his hand and said, "By the way, Master has also been sleeping."
"Master?" Ning Changjiu was stunned and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
Ning Xiaoling said: "I don't know either. Sister Xueci said that Master needs to bask in the sun, so... Master is sleeping next to you now. Brother Taiyang, please wake up quickly."
Ning Jiujiu nodded gently, and he held hands with his junior sister, who familiarly led him through the boundless darkness and swam towards the Netherworld Temple in the center.
Ning Jiujiu asked: "What happened recently?"
Ning Xiaoling thought for a while, shook her head and said, "No, with Sister Xue Ci and Bai Zang here, bad guys don't dare to come."
"Hakuzo?"
"Well, she has turned into a cat now and is easy to bully."
"Where is the Sword Master? Is he still alive?" Ning Jiujiu immediately thought of Ke Wenzhou.
He was not sure whether the sword he used with all his strength could completely kill Ke Wenzhou.
Ning Xiaoling said: "Master and sister Xue Ci went to search together, but did not find the body of the sword master...it may have been swept to other places by the waves."
Ning Jiujiu nodded and said: "Ke Wenzhou's internal organs have been corroded. He is just a puppet body at the moment. Even if he is still alive, he is probably at the end of his life. When I wake up, I will go find him myself."
Ning Xiaoling listened and smiled, showing her fine porcelain teeth: "Yeah! Senior brother is the best!"
Ning Jiujiu also smiled softly and said gently: "Thanks even more to junior sister this time... Junior sister has really grown up."
Ning Xiaoling's eyes were curled up and her smile was as bright as a flower. She was swimming in the sea of samsara. Under the pear-colored skirt, the girl's exquisite and undulating figure was like watery waves. Her slender legs were slightly bent inward, and she looked incomparable. soft.
She held Ning Changjiu's hand and said, "Yes, my senior brother watched me grow up, and senior brother... Xiaoling also watched me grow up."
Ning Jiujiu thought of the previous incident in Samsara Sea, "You still lied to me about calling you sister?"
Ning Xiaoling pursed her lips and smiled: "Senior Brother, your shouting is so nice."
Ning Jiujiu said helplessly: "Junior sister was the cutest when she was a little fox."
Ning Xiaoling pretended to be aggrieved and said: "It doesn't matter, I can also grow a fox tail now."
"Um?"
"That's right... Master and Sister Xue Ci can do it, and of course Xiaoling can do it too."
Ning Jiujiu was slightly startled. He looked at the innocent girl with a slender waistline and a slightly swaying figure, and said, "Xiao Ling is indeed a little vixen."
Ning Xiaoling said seriously: "Senior brother has said that he will marry Xiaoling when he grows up. Don't regret it."
Ning looked at her for a long time, nodded with a smile, and said, "Well, I will always be with my junior sister."
Ning Xiaoling didn't expect his answer to be so straightforward. Instead, she became shy and whispered: "In that case, won't Xiaoling be ashamed to death when she sees Master in the future... Senior brother is good or bad."
Ning Jiujiu smiled lightly. He was soaking in the sea of reincarnation, and his body and mind became more and more relaxed.
Ning Xiaoling led the way for him.
"The one in front is the ferocious Ming Lord's wrath. If you are not careful, you will drown. Senior brother, please stay closer."
"This is a desert of souls. It's easy for a person to get lost. He has to hold onto Junior Sister with both hands."
"This is the most dangerous place. It is a gathering place for soul-devourers. If you think wildly, it is easy for soul-devourers to invade your consciousness. Just like in many ghost legends, two people hold hands and walk, and they find that the person they are holding changes. He has become a terrifying ghost... So senior brother must think about junior sister without any distractions and not think about anything else." Ning Xiaoling instructed seriously and solemnly.
"Really? It's very quiet next to it. How can there be any angry desert spirit swallowers? Nothing happened when I came here." Ning Jiujiu said doubtfully.
"Are you questioning junior sister?" Ning Xiaoling asked with a hand on her hip and a frown.
"Well... no." Ning Jiujiu compromised.
Ning Xiaoling smiled and said, "Well! Just follow Junior Sister. I can see many dangers that you can't see. After all, Junior Sister is Lord Ming!"
Ning Jiujiu said helplessly: "Okay, listen to our Master Mingjun."
So, along the way, Ning Xiaoling faced the void ahead, waving her delicate hands and introducing a lot of terrifying things, leading Ning Jiujiu through the Sea of Reincarnation dangerously and safely, and slowly returned to the Netherworld Temple.
The Netherworld Temple hangs in the center of the Sea of Samsara, like a black moon.
The pair of spiritual brothers and sisters held hands and swam through the boundless darkness, and the door of the Netherworld Ancient Palace was opened for them.
"Senior brother, don't run around after you go to bed this time." Ning Xiaoling warned: "It's really dangerous in the sea of reincarnation."
"Yeah, I got it." Ning Jiujiu nodded, his consciousness sank into his body, and he soon became sleepy.
The palace door is closed.
After the spirit body returned to its body, the girl on the throne rubbed her eyes. She went down the steps, opened the lid of the pot, looked at the medicine being cooked, picked up a small spoonful, tasted it, and then put the lid back.
She walked to the back hall and came to the main hall. She looked at the boy and the little girl sleeping very close to each other. She felt that they were a perfect match, but also felt sour at the same time.
Ning Xiaoling sat on the edge of the bed, shaking her calves slightly, and just looked at them, unaware of the passage of time.
…
In late autumn, the green color contained in the leaves has been eroded away by the wind, and there is still dew on the weeds in the morning. The white clouds in the sky outside the ancient spirit sect's boundary are thick and low.
In the cold autumn day, Lu Jianjian flew back with his sword. In the quiet room on the cliff of Gulingzong, Siming was drinking tea. She looked at Lu Jianjian, raised the corners of her lips, smiled slightly, and poured it for her. Tea.
Lu Marry stretched herself tiredly, sat down next to her, took a sip and moistened her lips.
"Is there any news from Jiange?" Siming asked.
Lu Marion shook her head and said, "It is said that all the disciples of Jiange have disappeared, and I don't know where they went."
Si Ming frowned slightly and said in confusion: "No one knows about the defeat of the Sword Master except us. How could it be spread to the Sword Pavilion so quickly? Could it be that Ke Wenzhou had expected it a long time ago?"
Lu Marry said: "It's impossible. Even until the end of the battle, we were still in the dark. If Ke Wenzhou really had such an ability to predict the unknown, how could he lose?"
Siming nodded lightly. She thought for a while and sighed: "Okay, don't worry about it too much. Maybe it's just a coincidence."
"Yeah." Lu Marry also nodded.
The two drank tea together. The fairy in white, who had been running around for several days, stretched lazily, and then leaned lightly on Siming's shoulder. Siming sat upright, with an elegant figure, and followed Ye Changong. Over time, she also developed a temperament that was six parts tranquil, three parts dignified and one part proud.
"By the way, what was the original purpose of Jiange's establishment?" Lu Marian put down the empty tea cup and asked suddenly.
Siming said: "According to Master, it is to fight against the unsightly."
"Isn't the confrontation impressive?" Lu Marian was a little surprised.
"Well, there are fourteen people in Jiangge, not to mention seven, which is exactly two to one." Siming said.
"The plan was thorough, but even in the end, this situation did not happen." Lu Jiaou said.
"Well, it's just an idiot's dream." Siming said calmly: "We can't imagine how powerful it is. There is nothing comparable to the sword pavilion."
Lu Marian nodded slightly and said, "Fourth Junior Sister is right."
Si Ming's eyes slanted slightly, and fell on the fairy in white with half-closed eyes, leaning against him, "Fourth Junior Sister? Oh, Sister Marry, I'm afraid you don't know yet, but I am now the only Senior Sister appointed by Master. .”
"How is that possible?!" Lu Marry immediately sat up straight.
How can you trust Lu Marion who has been in an unshakable position in recent months and has only been slightly provoked by Liu Xiwan.
"How could Master appoint you as senior sister..." Lu Jiaoyue looked at Si Ming's unparalleled profile with distrust.
There was an elegant smile on Siming's lips. She picked up the teapot and poured herself some tea. After taking a gentle and elegant sip, she looked at Lu Married and said with a smile in her eyes: "Married Don’t you believe she is married? When Master wakes up, just ask her yourself."
Lu Marian came closer to her, stared into her eyes, and said, "Sister Xue Ci, don't forget, I still have your slave pattern. If you dare to disrespect my sister again, I will..."
With that said, Lu Jianjian tried to control Nu Wen and give Si Ming a blow.
But soon, she froze.
She discovered that the connection with Nu Wen disappeared in her consciousness!
this…
Lu Marry looked at Si Ming cautiously, biting her lip, and was in a dilemma.
Siming didn't notice this. She was still a little afraid of Nu Wen. She pretended to be fearless and said: "We are sisters, not masters and slaves. If we always threaten them with this matter, we will become bad women if we get married."
Lu Marian looked at her face, smiled stiffly, nodded and said: "Well, Xue Ci...sister is right, I was the one who was rude just now. We sisters have a deep love, and we should value harmony."
Siming frowned slightly, feeling a little strange about her reaction.
Lu Marianjian took a sip of tea without changing her expression, then stood up immediately and said, "I'll go see if Jiujiu is awake."
With that said, Lu Marry immediately stood up and left in a hurry.
"Marry, you haven't got your sword yet." Siming grabbed the sword on the table and shouted outside the quiet room.
Lu’s wife didn’t even look back.
Siming felt a little baffled. She wiped Lu Jianwen's new sword and suddenly thought of something. She quickly touched her leg. After a while, she realized that during the days when she was accompanying her master, Nuwen also melted unconsciously.
No wonder Marrying away looked like she was running for her life!
"Okay, Lu Marian." Si Mingban suddenly woke up and murmured, then got up and chased her out, wanting to catch her back and teach her a lesson.
Ning Jiujiu also woke up on this sunny and mild autumn day.
He slept on the bed in the Hades Palace. The bed in Myanmar was so big that he couldn't see to the side at a glance. When he first woke up, Ning Changjiu had the illusion of being in the snow.
In the snow, a girl's back was facing her. Her arms were gently supported on the couch. Her smooth black hair was spread out, and the ends were tied with a red rope. She was simple and elegant. She raised her head and looked at the dome of the hall. He was slightly lost in thought.
The girl sensed the movement behind her and turned around, just in time to see her senior brother open his eyes.
Ning Xiaoling stopped swinging her calves. She immediately took off her thin shoes and socks, got on the bed, and came to her senior brother's side with her hands and feet. She said happily: "Senior brother finally knows he's awake."
Ning looked at the girl's reddish eyes for a long time and knew that she had not slept well for a long time in order to wait for him to wake up.
"How long have I been unconscious?" Ning asked for a long time.
"Half a month has passed." Ning Xiaoling said: "If senior brother's breathing was not still stable, everyone would be worried."
Ning Jiujiu nodded. Just as he was about to speak, a voice suddenly sounded in his heart:
"You finally woke up? Let me out quickly!"
That was Liu Xiwan's soft drink.
Ning looked straight at Xinhu for a long time, and saw a short-haired girl in black clothes sitting on the pure white Xinhu with her legs bent, her head raised and staring at herself, with a bad look on her face.
"Are you awake too?" Ning Jiujiu spoke with his mind.
"I've been awake for a long time... just to catch Ke Wenzhou. Why did I sleep for so long?" Liu Xiwan said disdainfully.
Ning Jiujiu said: "You little traitor, you are really good at deceiving your master and destroying your ancestors."
Liu Xiwan curled her lips and said, "Didn't I learn from you to bully my master and destroy my ancestors?"
To deceive the master and destroy the ancestor... Hearing this word, Ning Changjiu felt a chill in his heart. He subconsciously turned his head and looked to the other side.
On the left side of the body, a naive and delicate little girl was lying quietly, with a thick quilt covering her cheeks, only half of her straight nose was exposed. Even if she was sleeping, she seemed to be exuding an invisible fragrance. The clear brilliance flows gracefully.
"Senior brother? What are you stunned for?" Ning Xiaoling stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes.
Ning Jiujiu came back to his senses. He looked at his junior sister's elegant face and subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch her hair, but he felt sore all over and even raising his hand was difficult.
Ning Jiujiu asked: "Where are Marry Xue Ci, Xiao Li and the others? Where have they gone?"
Ning Xiaoling said: "Xiao Li is practicing in seclusion in a building. Master Marry has gone to investigate matters related to the Sword Pavilion. Sister Siming has been looking for the body of the Sword Master these days, but there is no result."
Ning Jiujiu looked at Ye Changong's petite body and asked, "What about Master? Master...are you okay?"
Ning Xiaoling shook her head and said: "Xiaoling doesn't know that Master Sister is very cold now. We have tried many ways to warm her up, but they are all in vain."
Ning lied for a while, regained some strength, stretched out his hand, slowly approached, and then touched the back of Ye Changong's hand.
After thousands of years, this was the first time their skin touched each other, but Ning Jiujiu had no unnecessary feelings. All they touched was the bone-chilling coldness.
Ning Jiujiu tried to hold her hand.
He seemed to be holding a piece of extremely cold ice, and this coldness was contagious. Soon, Ning Changjiu's lips were covered with a thin layer of frost.
He let go of his hand, and the coldness on his fingertips cut into his skin and lingered.
Ning Jiujiu was not sure, but in his Zifu, the golden crow danced happily, as if to say that he was a good cure for this cold disease.
"This...is this Immortal Lord Chang'e?" Liu Xiwan said softly.
Liu Xiwan was still a little nervous when the mythical character was next to her.
"Yeah." Ning Chang responded.
Ning Xiaoling looked at him, grabbed his master's hand just now, held it in both hands, and breathed in the heat to warm him.
Ning Jiujiu asked: "Master, is there anything else to say?"
Ning Xiaoling said: "Sister Si Ming only said that Master needs the sun."
Ning Jiujiu said: "Help me up."
Ning Xiaoling immediately leaned down, hugged his senior brother's shoulders, picked him up, and muttered that his senior brother was so heavy.
Ning Jiujiu wanted to ward off the cold in Ye Chan Palace, but Xiao Ling first brought over a bowl of hot soup, knelt down beside him, and said: "Brother, please drink the medicine first, don't faint again later." .”
Ning Jiujiu nodded gently, the girl scooped up the concoction, gently blew it to cool it, and then brought it to Ning Jiujiu's lips one spoonful at a time.
In her heart, Liu Xiwan looked at this scene and sneered, criticizing Ning Jiujiu for having no moral bottom line.
Ning Jiujiu looked at the short-haired girl clenching her fists in the pure white heart lake and smiled lightly.
After taking the medicine, Ning Changjiu's tired body finally felt a little warm. He took a deep breath, and the spiritual energy in the sea of qi came to life, flowing between his Qi meridians and acupuncture points.
Ning Jiujiu called out the Golden Crow.
Whenever the Golden Crow is called out and Xiaoling sees it, he always feels emotional about the Golden Crow's growth.
On the bed, Ye Changong's sleeping face was extremely peaceful.
When Ning Jiujiu sees her, there will always be many trances in his mind.
He would think of Chang Xi who was cutting osmanthus in the Guanghan Palace, and of Immortal Chang'e with a cold face and bun like rabbit ears on her head. These figures overlapped with the little girl carved in pink and jade like moonlight in front of him. , there is always an unreal feeling.
When he was fighting the sword master, the sword master asked him who he was, and he firmly said that he was Ning Changjiu.
If the same question was asked to Master, how would Master respond
Ning Jiujiu looked at the girl's peaceful sleeping face and was briefly in a trance. The waves of Nanming were still roaring in his ears. Regarding the sword master and the dark master, he always had a hidden worry that he could not get rid of.
Ning Jiujiu controlled the Golden Crow and landed on Ye Changong's body.
The golden crow illuminated her face slightly, and every strand of hair was clearly visible.
The Golden Crow can tear apart almost all darkness and dispel almost all coldness.
At this moment, bright light poured into Ye Changong's body.
The thick and unbreakable cold current was slowly melted away.
Before Ning Changjiu and Ning Xiaoling were happy, they discovered another problem. The Golden Crow could not warm Ye Chan Palace's whole body at the same time, and the thawing of the bloodline glacier was only temporary. Once the Golden Crow fell elsewhere, it would immediately be covered with another layer. Frost.
"Senior brother... what should we do?" Ning Xiaoling originally thought that all problems would be solved when her senior brother woke up, but now she couldn't help but feel worried again.
Ning Jiujiu worked hard to activate the Golden Crow, letting the light cover every inch of Ye Chan Palace's skin.
Light seeps into it like water, and those who fight against the cold always win, but soon the cold will come back again.
Ning worked hard for a long time, but failed, and his face turned pale due to exhaustion.
Ning Xiaoling bit her lip, feeling extremely nervous. She rushed to the doctor and said, "Could it be that Master's clothes are blocking the light..."
Only Ye Changong always lay quietly, not knowing whether it was warm or cold.
In her heart, Liu Xiwan also said: "You are obviously treating the symptoms but not the root cause. No matter how much effort you put in, it will be in vain."
Treating the symptoms rather than the root cause…
This sentence suddenly reminded Ning Changjiu.
"Where's Yue Gui?" Ning Changjiu asked.
"Huh?" Ning Xiaoling was stunned.
"It's the moon branch...the one that senior brother held before." Ning Jiujiu explained.
Ning Xiaoling groaned, quickly leaned down, opened the pillow, and took out the moon branch that had turned into ice.
With the moon branch in her hand, Ning Xiaoling felt a bone-chilling coldness, and her body trembled unconsciously.
Ning Jiujiu took the moon branch and held it in his hand, like a hungry and cold person holding ice and snow in the middle of winter. The coldness suddenly penetrated from the palm of his hand into his mind, making him suddenly wake up.
Ning felt the coldness for a long time, and the swaying shadow of Guanghan Palace on the gray moon appeared in his mind.
The golden crow flew in and carried the branch away.
The Golden Crow pressed the moon branch under its body, spread the light over it, and covered it with its wings.
This action looks like the Golden Crow is hatching an egg.
The whole body was covered with golden crows made of light and heat, and he couldn't help but shiver.
But fortunately, the ice on the moon branches slowly melted in the bright golden light, and the chill that had lingered on Ye Chan Palace for a long time finally became thinner and thinner.
Ning Jiujiu and Ning Xiaoling observed for a while and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After the two of them stayed with their master for a while, Ning Jiujiu felt that his body was stiff. Xiaoling helped him get up, got out of bed and walked around to relieve the fatigue accumulated in his bones.
The brother and sister held hands and walked cautiously.
"Senior brother."
"Um?"
"When Master recovers, senior brother... I'll take care of Xiaoling."
Ning Xiaoling raised her head and looked at him with watery eyes.
Although the two of them had talked about this in the Sea of Reincarnation, it was a bit embarrassing to actually talk about it in person.
"Well..." Ning Jiujiu nodded slightly and said, "When Marry comes, let's discuss it together."
"There is no need to discuss it with master." Ning Xiaoling whispered: "If senior brother is under psychological pressure, Xiaoling can also find a way."
"any solution?"
"Like this, Xiao Ling put on Master's clothes and turned her back to Senior Brother. Senior Brother had just woken up and was bleary-eyed. When he saw the familiar back, he thought it was Master Marrying, so he hugged him. After being intimate for a while, Senior Brother realized that he had admitted his mistake. But, it's too late, the arrow is on the string and has to be fired! By then, the master will not be able to say anything." Ning Xiaoling spoke plausibly and logically.
In her heart, Liu Xiwan bit her finger, her pretty face flushed. She never expected that these words would come from the mouth of such an innocent little girl.
Ning pondered for a moment and was about to express his opinion when suddenly there were three knocks on the door.
"Xiao Ling, what are you talking about?"
A cold voice sounded, the door opened, and a fairy in white clothes walked slowly.
Ning Xiaoling felt as if she had been struck by an electric shock and was frozen in place. She lowered her head, as if searching for a crack in the ground.
