"Marry, why are you here?"
Ning Chang looked at Lu Wenyou, a little surprised.
Lu Marian has long hair shawl and an elegant smile. Because the Sword Spirit is one of the eighty-one swords of the year, now that the Golden Crow Divine Kingdom is being recast, Lu Marian's realm has naturally risen with it. Now, looking up, there is even more The fairy demeanor emerged from the dust.
"What? I'm not welcome?"
When asking this question, Lu Marry's eyes gently fell on Ning Xiaoling.
Ning Xiaoling was holding on to the corner of her clothes, moving slightly, hesitatingly saying: "No, no, Master is here at the right time..."
Lu Marian came closer and asked, "What was Xiaoling talking about with your senior brother just now?"
With the snow-capped peaks in front of her, Xiaoling's momentum was subdued, and she couldn't help but feel as if she were looking up at a high mountain.
"No, we didn't talk about anything, we just talked about some recent things." Ning Xiaoling took half a step back.
Lu Marian'e frowned slightly. She stretched out her hand and tugged Ning Xiaoling's ear, snorting coldly: "Evil disciple, do you really think I didn't hear you?"
Ning Xiaoling said innocently: "Then master heard it and asked?"
Lu Marian took a deep breath and said, "When I first joined the sect, Xiao Ling was still a good boy. Why, now he is getting more and more capable?"
Ning Xiaoling looked at the ferocious look on her master's face, and became a little tougher, saying: "This is the ancient kingdom of Netherworld, and Xiaoling is now the Lord of the Netherworld. Master... Master may not be Xiaoling's opponent here!"
When Lu Marian heard this, she didn't expect that Xiaoling, who had always been docile, would get angry, "Okay, you and your senior brother didn't learn from each other, so you deceived your master and destroyed your ancestors?"
"Deceive your master and destroy your ancestors..." Ning Xiaoling became more confident: "Master, how do you usually get bullied by your senior brother and destroy your ancestors?"
Ning Changjiu, who was watching the excitement, was shocked. He subconsciously glanced at Ye Changong, who was still lying on the bed, and felt that he was innocent.
"Xiao Ling, you!" Lu Married Tan opened her mouth, looking at the girl who dared to talk back to her, and said angrily: "Xiao Ling, what do you know, you are just talking nonsense..."
"Xiao Ling is not talking nonsense." Ning Xiaoling said carefully: "Xiao Ling still knows about sword forging, body training, and fox tail."
Lu Marian narrowed her eyes and said, "Really? Xiaoling knows so much."
"Yes! I am diligent and eager to learn at this young age."
"Hey, it seems that I dote on you too much on weekdays, so I have to forge Xiaoling's sword in front of your senior brother."
"Xiao Ling... I think senior brother would rather see Xiao Ling forging master's sword!"
"Huh? What did Xiaoling just say?"
"Master..." Ning Xiaoling thought in her heart, but in order to compete for her senior brother, she refused to give in this time.
Ning Jiujiu sighed and saw that the sword fairy master and apprentice over there were on the verge of getting ready. He summoned Liu Xiwan out with the intention of breaking up the fight.
Liu Xiwan has been sitting on the pure white heart lake, watching the excitement through his eyes.
"Hmph, this girl Xiaoling is the lord of the Kingdom of the Underworld. What is there to be afraid of in the Kingdom of the Underworld now? If I were Xiaoling, I would push you down in front of Marry and see what she will do!"
"Aren't you a supporter of marriage?" Ning Jiujiu asked with all his heart.
"I... But it's pretty cool when they quarrel." Liu Xiwan said confidently.
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the call, and her spirit body left the air sea involuntarily, and then she was caught off guard and merged into the tense atmosphere.
Lu Marion and Ning Xiaoling, who were engaged in a tug-of-war, both turned their heads and looked at the short-haired girl who suddenly appeared aside.
The girl has released her lucid dream.
She was ridiculing and giving advice in her heart, but when she came to reality, she suddenly became cautious. Liu Xiwan bit her lip, opened her big eyes, and looked like a good girl. She was arranging her dark and slightly messy hair, not knowing what to say, so she gently waved her hand and said hello to them.
"Young girl, married girl, morning... good morning."
The atmosphere suddenly became condensed.
Lu Married said: "Xiwan... why are you here?"
Ning Xiaoling looked at her and asked curiously: "Is this Miss Liu Xiwan Liu?"
Liu Xiwan nodded, she glanced at Ning Changjiu, and then said, "I'm here to break up the fight."
Lu Marry was determined to teach this young apprentice a lesson, so she said calmly: "Although Miss Liu is also a member of the Sword Sect, this is after all a private dispute between our master and apprentice..."
Lu Marry hesitated to speak, looking at Liu Xiwan as if he wanted to intimidate her away with his eyes.
"There should be harmony between master and disciple." Liu Xiwan calmed down and used her trump card to deal with Lu Jianjian: "Besides, I think Xiaoling and Jianjiao are quite similar when they were young, and Jianjiao also liked her when she was a child. Wearing such a white skirt, but the sect’s skirts at that time didn’t fit well. I saved up my own money to have my first little skirt customized at the foot of the mountain when I got married. Well... Xiaoling is much better, and any skirt will suit me.”
Ning Xiaoling lowered her head silently and looked at her little lotus-like toes under her skirt.
She and Lu Marian looked at each other.
“…”
The two of them were silent.
Liu Xiwan succeeded in hurting both of them at the same time with one sentence.
Liu Xiwan was very proud. She succeeded in breaking up the fight. She turned her head and smiled at Ning Jiujiu, as if she wanted to take credit.
Ning looked at her for a long time and pursed her lips. She didn't know whether to remind her that behind her at this moment, Lu Marian and Ning Xiaoling had united the front and were facing the outside world. They walked towards her with dark faces.
Liu Xiwan felt a chill running down her spine.
Soon, someone rescued her.
The door opened again, and this time, Lord Siming came in.
Si Ming is still wearing the untainted black robe that is unique to priests. Her long hair shows a light color, as if chasing a stream of shimmering waves. Her feet are as bare as snow and jade, and her tender meridians are slightly swollen, as if they are delicate. Extraordinary porcelain. When Si Ming came, he carried Lu Marry's sword in his hand and a black sword on his back. When he walked into the inner hall, a cold wind seemed to blow through the door, bringing in the cool sword spirit.
Ning Changjiu's heart trembled. He slowly turned his head and met Si Ming's deep icy eyes.
The two have not seen each other for many months.
Siming's red lips twitched and he smiled: "Why is it so lively here? This is..."
She just spoke, but because of the emotions aroused by her long separation and newlyweds, Ning Jiujiu couldn't restrain her impulse and quickly stepped forward and hugged her.
The two bodies were close to each other.
Siming was stunned. Although she was also happy, from the perspective at this moment, Lu Married, Ning Xiaoling, and Liu Xiwan were looking straight at her. The Golden Crow who was like a hen hatching eggs was also staring at Ye Chan Palace. Instead, he lay quietly, showing no sign of waking up.
Her hands suddenly had nowhere to put their hands.
"Xue'er, long time no see."
Ning held her for a long time and said softly.
Si Ming, who was always free and easy, became more reserved. Her eyelashes trembled and she whispered softly: "I know, I know... Okay, so many people are watching..."
"Xue'er can be shy too?" Ning Changjiu smiled.
"I... No! I'm ashamed of you!" Siming snorted.
Although she said this, her face was slightly red. After hesitating, she gently placed her hand on Ning Changjiu's back. Her originally light-colored hair was burning like a raging fire. The red color was like the blooming peach mountains in spring. The red color is as blazing as when there is no trace of anger.
In short, her emotions were clearly exposed.
Siming was ashamed and his eyes averted, as he did not have the momentum to pursue Lu Jianwen.
Under the gaze of everyone, the two hugged each other for a while, and everyone was a little embarrassed.
"Is this... Miss Liu Xiwan Liu?" Siming felt her sword intent and recognized her.
Liu Xiwan nodded and looked at the fairy-like woman in front of her. If Lu Jianwen's beauty was the air of fairy spirit, then Si Ming's beauty was the aloof divine posture.
She waved to Siming.
"Well, I'm Liu Xiwan... Xiwan has admired Sister Si for a long time, and when I met her today, she really has an outstanding temperament."
Siming nodded slightly, having a good impression of this sword spirit.
She looked at Lu Yuai, smiled slightly, raised the sword in her hand, and said, "Mario was in a hurry just now, and she even forgot to take the sword."
Lu Marian felt a little guilty and said weakly: "Thank you, Sister Xueci, for coming here to give me the sword."
Lu Marry stretched out her hand to take it, but Si Ming took the sword back and said calmly: "Come find me alone later, and I will return this sword to you."
Lu Yuanjian was not stupid. She still remembered the scene when she and Ning Xiaoling, who was a nine-tailed fox, were bullied by a bad woman during the Ancient Spirit Sect. If she went to see Siming alone, the outcome could be imagined.
"Since Xue Ci likes this sword so much, I'll give it to you." Lu Marion abandoned the sword as expected.
Ning Xiaoling looked at her master's deflated look and smiled quietly.
This smile was caught by Lu Jianjie. She glared at Xiaoling, tapped her head lightly, and said: "Xiaoling learned how to bully his master and destroy his ancestors with your senior brother, and he still wants to learn how to do it with your sister Xueci." Be a bad woman?"
"Bad woman?" Si Ming heard it, "My good wife, what are you talking about?"
"No...it's nothing." Facing a real bad woman, Lu Marian's momentum was still inferior.
Liu Xiwan stretched her slightly stiff body, looked at Ning Changjiu and said with a smile: "Your family is really chaotic."
Ning Jiujiu said helplessly: "Yes. Xiao Li hasn't come yet, otherwise it will be even more chaotic."
"Xiao Li..." Liu Xiwan clenched her fists and became nervous.
Although Xiao Li knew of her existence, he didn't know that she had become a little girl... How could he see her
It's all the fault of Second Senior Sister.
Si Ming and Shao Xiaoli have also known each other for a long time but have been separated for a long time. This time when the Gu Ling Sect reunited, she and Xiao Li had a long chat. They talked about many interesting things in the past and couldn't help but reminisce about them, especially the time on the Golden Cross. What she remembered the most was the most vivid, but when they talked about it again, they were no longer the life and death enemies they had been before. Instead, they found many interesting elements in it. After Ning woke up after a long time, she could try to recreate the events of that year. Scenes.
Of course, this is also a very private secret.
"Xiao Li is practicing in retreat, but it's not a death retreat. If you want to see me, just call her." Siming said.
Ning Jiujiu asked: "What kind of confinement is there? Didn't Xiao Li just break through the five realms?"
Siming said: "Master brought back a small red building. Xiao Li wandered in the red building for two days and felt very uneasy, so he chose to retreat to purify his mind."
"Little Red Mansion?" Ning Jiujiu was stunned, "What Red Mansion?"
This time, Ning Jiujiu felt cold glances from all around, except for Liu Xiwan. He suddenly became a target of public criticism.
"Okay, it's okay if senior brother doesn't keep the appointment, but he completely forgets about it! What a heartless man."
The first person to attack Ning Changjiu was Ning Xiaoling.
Lu Marry also nodded and said, "Yes, I also read Luo Shen's diary, and I cried every word of it, so desperate."
Siming also said: "Fortunately Xiao Li is not here, otherwise she would be so sad. I have seen her cry secretly several times."
Ning Jiujiu thought to himself what evil had Yi done...
"Although what Yi did has nothing to do with me, I have always had a sense of responsibility. I will go and comfort Xiao Li later." Ning Jiujiu considered his words, and vowed while making a break with his past life.
"Yi has nothing to do with you?" Siming looked at Ye Chan Palace on the bed and said, "Do you really think so?"
Ning Jiujiu said seriously: "As for my past, I will inherit it critically."
Ning Xiaoling suddenly said: "As expected of senior brother!"
As he was talking, the door opened a crack again.
Everyone thought it was Shao Xiaoli who came, and then they looked down and saw a cat's head peeking in.
Ning looked over for a long time and saw that the white cat had deep patterns, slightly rounded ears, and the eye-catching word "王" on its head.
"Meow."
The white cat meowed, its reddish eyes were sleepy, as if blaming everyone for talking too loudly and disturbing his sleep.
"This is..." Ning Jiujiu hissed slightly and said, "Could this be the former lord of Baiyin Snow Palace, the supremely noble Lord Bai Zang?"
Bai Zang felt that he was deliberately humiliating himself by calling him this.
But Bai Zang has been used to being humiliated these days. Almost every time he meets someone, he will say, "Hey, isn't this Mr. Bai Zang? The Year of Bai Zang is over, why don't you go back? Is your home gone?" if.
"Hey, this can't be Master Bai Zang, right?" Liu Xiwan also met her for the first time. She quickly stepped forward, knelt down, rubbed her ears, and said, "Bai Zang's year is over, why don't you go back? Huh? Isn’t it because you can’t go home?”
"Meow..."
Bai Zang growled lowly, unable to protest. He thought to himself that this little girl was really rude. Sure enough, it wasn't like the whole family refused to enter the house.
Ning Jiujiu also felt that fate was magical. The enemy who was unattainable a few months ago has now turned into a kitten, looking... even a little cute.
Of course, for these former God Lords, Ning Jiujiu knew that they were cruel and ruthless in nature, so he would not really let down his guard.
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said: "Now we have two cats in our family. By the way, where did the Fish King go?"
Ning Xiaoling sighed and said: "It's so embarrassing for Di Ting. It was kicked out a few days ago and is still wandering around in the Kingdom of the Underworld. During this period, it tried to come back, but was driven out again. Now its throne has also been destroyed by this The evil cat has taken over.”
Ning Jiujiu said angrily: "The Fish King has fought for us through life and death, how can we let Bai Zang oppress us like this?"
"Maybe this is bloodline suppression." Ning Xiaoling put her hands on her hips and said helplessly: "There's nothing I can do. That silly girl Jiuyou likes this cat very much. If she drives her away, Jiuyou will write a letter to denounce me. I don't want to listen to her. When the poem is recited, just take a moment and listen carefully."
Bai Zang raised his head and meowed coldly, very proudly.
Ning Jiujiu wanted to denounce this evil cat, but then he saw a pair of snow-white hands reaching out from the crack of the door, grabbing Bai Zang's forelimbs, and hugged her up.
Bai Zang meowed, seeming to be struggling. Then, a dumb and beautiful head poked in. Jiuyou was wearing a complicated black dress. She looked at the people in the room and felt that the atmosphere was very strange.
"I... I just came here to find the cat." Jiuyou explained and immediately left with Bai Zang.
There was another moment of silence in the room.
Ning looked at the women surrounding him for a long time, feeling warm and having a headache at the same time.
"If Xiang'er were here, the scene would be better." Ning Xiaoling was the first to speak, and said with deep understanding.
Ning looked at her for a long time and sighed: "Xiao Ling is really considerate of senior brother."
Si Ming was somewhat looking forward to the reunion with Zhao Xiang'er. At this moment, she had turned defeat into victory over Lu Marian. At that time in Guyun City, she was just fooled by Zhao Xiang'er's tricks. If she dared to leave the Western Kingdom, she would not be able to do anything. Get your place back!
Lu Married asked: "Are you going to call Xiaoli here? Although she is in seclusion, I can clearly see that she comes to secretly see you every night."
Ning Jiujiu said in surprise: "Marrying doesn't have Taiyin eyes, how come you can see everything?"
Ning Xiaoling said weakly: "Maybe Master's authority is actually to catch adulterers..."
Lu Marion glared at her and whispered, "I'll teach you the rules of the school later."
Ning Xiaoling admitted that she was a little distracted after her senior brother woke up. Facing the fierce master at this moment, of course she did not dare to really fight with him, so she had to get close to her senior brother and seek shelter.
When Ning Changjiu was thinking about whether to disturb Xiao Li, Si Ming suggested: "Why don't you go to the Red Mansion to see the past events first? Xiao Li will come to find you after the retreat."
Ning Changjiu nodded gently and said, "That's fine."
Everyone had strange expressions on their faces, but didn't say anything.
Therefore, after Ning Jiujiu checked his master's condition, he left the Golden Crow in the hall and continued to dissolve the cold energy of Yue Zhi.
Jin Wu looked at him tremblingly, expressing that he wanted to go back to Zi Mansion. Ning Jiujiu flatly refused.
…
In autumn, the white clouds hang low in Gulingzong and the sky is clear and peaceful.
The newly built Jiuyou Hall has begun to take shape. Outside the Jiuyou Hall, iron cables hang high. Under the cable bridge, Youyue Lake is like soft emerald, washing against the stone walls in the high valley, flowing slowly and unhurriedly. The twinkling sunlight is like flowers scattered on the blue silk and satin. Colors similar to the blue are mixed together and flowing gently. During this time, the figure of the fish with spread wings and writhing in the leaf lake is clearly visible.
The small red building under the Luo River is now like a small pavilion, parked in a secluded corner of Youyue Lake.
Ning Changjiu paused leisurely in front of the red building like white clouds floating across the lake.
He stared at the two faded lanterns hanging in front of the red building. For a long time, he finally walked into the quiet building amid the soft sound of water.
There were many "囍" characters posted on the building, and those "囍" characters covered a layer of dreams. As long as he opened his Taiyin Eyes, he could see how broken the scene was under the dream. But he did not break this dream.
Ning had not been here for a long time, but he felt an unreasonable sense of warmth. He looked around and his eyes fell on the table. The long candles had burned out, leaving only the accumulated wax. Looking down, he saw There were some hairs mixed in the cracks on the floor. They seemed to be hairs that Bai Zang had fallen off when he rolled on the floor. Ning Jiujiu picked up one and blew it away like a dandelion.
The debris accumulated in the stairwell leading to the second floor has been cleared away. The corridor is winding. Ning Jiujiu couldn't see what was up there, but the 囍 characters all over the floor gave him a premonition.
He just sat here quietly for a long time.
When he lowered his head, Ning Jiujiu saw the book on the corner of the table - this should be Luo Shen's diary.
How excessive was his previous life? After seeing it, Xiao Li actually used it to pad the corner of the table...
Ning Jiujiu was a little nervous, so he took out the book, dusted it off and opened it.
"Take an appropriate amount of rice, wash it clean, put it into the pot, add a small amount of beans and dates, stir evenly, and then pour some water..."
Ning looked at it for a long time, frowned, and felt something was wrong. He turned to the title page and saw the title of the book clearly.
He was silent for a moment, casually flipping through the content at the back, feeling in his heart, this is someone who dares to write and another who dares to buy.
He tucked it back into the leg of the table.
Ning Jiujiu launched a Taiyin Eye search and finally found the real diary.
He opened the diary, read it, and understood the whole story.
Yi made an appointment with Luo Shen on a date to meet and promised to marry her. However, when the appointed day came, Yi did not come. She waited day after day without eating or drinking, so she had to give in to the accumulated emotions in her heart. on paper.
But in the end, Luo Shen didn't wait for him. What she waited for was just the vision of Jiuri, and then she watched the Jiuri being broken one after another.
She thought that if these nine days were mirrors, then she might be able to see through them the figures with bows and arrows thousands of miles away. But they are not, they are just gilded crows, broken black fireworks.
In the black fireworks, the tide of beasts led by the demon god pushed over. Luo Shen fought to the death with her until she was left alone. She did not wait for Yi's arrival until her death.
Ning Jiujiu could not remember these past events. He knew that Yi had some difficulties at that time. When he shot Jiuri, his heart was as sharp as a knife. He wished he could just draw his sword and kill Xihe in the sky.
but…
"Although Yi was a hero, it is true that he was obsessed with others. Ning Changjiu, you can't imitate him."
Ning looked at the messy handwriting in the diary for a long time, showing his attitude of learning from history.
Finally, I read the diary to the end. Luo Shen's last words were so scrawled that he couldn't distinguish them. He could no longer fathom Luo Shen's thoughts at that time, and could only feel the despair that penetrated the back of the paper.
He put the book back and walked upstairs.
The main color on the second floor is a more eye-catching red. This red looks hot. You can feel that Luo Shen's mental state was a little paranoid when he was decorating the house. He looked at the pictures on the wall and the colorful ribbons scattered on the floor. The bed beams were tied with red knots. The bed was covered with a red quilt. The quilt was sprinkled with some auspicious nuts. The nuts would last forever.
Everything on the dressing table was neatly arranged, but the rouge and the like had long since lost their scent. Only the mirror had no scratches and could still clearly reflect people's figures.
Ning Jiujiu tried to find some shadows on the mirror that had been reflected back then, but unfortunately it was too old and he couldn't see anything now.
Ning sat there for a long time, looked at himself in the mirror, and said softly: "Luo Shen died before he could wait for Yi, and all that is left is the silly Xiao Li... Fortunately, there is more than one life, your regrets, It’s up to us to make up for it.”
Ning Jiujiu waved to the mirror and gently said goodbye to the people who had left long ago.
No one answered, but the closet door creaked.
Ning listened for a long time, but there was a soft choking sound in his ears.
The closet door opened, and Ning Jiujiu saw Xiao Li in a white dress hiding in the cupboard, looking at him with tears streaming down her face.
"Xiao Li..." Ning Jiujiu was a little at a loss. He looked at the red old-fashioned wardrobe and asked, "Why are you here?"
Shao Xiaoli sniffed and whispered: "Xiao Li... Xiao Li is in retreat."
