The long sword cut through the snow against the wind and headed west, leaving the roar of the Luo River behind.
Looking down from the sword, the world is like a black and white sand table, with the winding outlines of mountains, rivers and rivers, and the human cities are the bones and muscles growing out of the mud.
The reconstruction of the Eighty-one City in Middle-earth has begun. The ones responsible for cleaning up the ruins are the monks from the major sects led by Jiange. They moved mountains and seas, filled in the cracks, and moved the open spaces. Then some young monks worked under the guidance of the old craftsmen. Lead the team to carry materials and build houses.
The real top monks have also begun to retreat. Most of them have accepted the changes and are ready to write monuments after the world returns to reality.
After this year, the entire human world should be able to embark on a new path.
Ning looked down at the mountains and rivers for a long time, and the flowing wind from the virtual realm blew onto his cheeks, bringing with it a slight dryness.
"What was your fourth senior sister like in her previous life?"
In the Kingdom of Golden Crow, Lu Yuanyou thought of the girl carrying the weapon box, couldn't help but asked in curiosity.
Ning Changjiu briefly recalled that in her previous life, the Fourth Senior Sister spent most of her time slaying demons and slaying demons at the foot of the mountain, and she didn't see much.
"Fourth Senior Sister's previous life... was probably like this," he said.
Lu Marry nodded slightly, thoughtfully.
Siming let out a sigh and asked immediately: "Then we were born in the same two lives, how did you become like this?"
"..." Ning was speechless for a long time.
His life in this life was different from the previous life... He thought that he had not changed much, but no one would believe him if he told him.
Lu Marian also nodded and said, "It is said that in his previous life, he even rejected Xiang'er's marriage certificate."
Si Ming smiled playfully: "I didn't expect him to be so strong-willed in his previous life? Or was it because he wanted to save face and spent the next twelve years in regret?"
Ning Jiujiu recalled his past life. After he rejected the engagement, during his long monastic life, he had indeed imagined what would happen if he accepted the engagement.
The imagination of the past has now become a reality.
Ning Changjiu looked calm and said: "Life is inherently beautiful because of its infinite possibilities. It is precisely because I was content with boredom in my previous life and meditated on the beauty of practice. In this life, I have more time to do other things and appreciate other beauties in the world."
"Strong words."
"Glib and eloquent!"
Lu Jianjiao and Siming retorted in unison.
The long sword continued to break through the sky and move westward.
Ning Jiujiu listened to the chat between Siming and Lu Jianjiao, folding his sleeves with his hands, feeling quite helpless. He thought to himself that the two women, Jinwu Zangjiao, could cope with the difficulties by himself. When he saw Zhao Xianger again later, he could really live in the Western Kingdom. And retreat...
Ahead, the snowflakes in the sky became sparse. As the sword passed through the territory of the North, the snow that was blowing indiscriminately disappeared. Only dryness and coldness still filled the air.
Lu Marry looked into the distance across the Golden Crow Divine Kingdom. Everything that was clearly far away appeared clearly in the water mirror of the Divine Kingdom.
"When I was in Guyun City, I heard Zhao Xiang'er say that she would often use a water mirror to look down at the world." Si Ming smiled lightly and said, "Every move we make on weekdays may be under Zhao Xiang'er's gaze. Woolen cloth."
Lu Marian frowned and said, "Xian'er... is she so boring?"
Siming said: "Are you afraid of Marry?"
Lu Marian said: "What do I have to be afraid of?"
Si Mingshen said mysteriously: "Don't you just like to play that kind of master-disciple game with the door closed? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if such an intimate matter fell into her eyes?"
Lu Marry's clear eyes moved, she was stunned for a moment and then turned to say sternly: "How did you know?!"
Siming pursed his lips slightly and felt ashamed, "I guessed it... you didn't think I would come to eavesdrop, did you? I'm not that boring!"
Lu Marian's ears turned red. She reached out to cover them, sulking, "When Xiang'er beats you up in the West Country, don't let me plead for you."
Si Ming said confidently: "Don't worry, I overheard in my dream that day that there is a boundary monument in the Western Kingdom. After that boundary monument is the jurisdiction of the Three Thousand Worlds. Unless Zhao Xiang'er's words are confirmed with me, I must take the pledge of peaceful coexistence, otherwise I will never step in rashly."
Lu Marian asked: "But Xiang'er can't come out?"
Siming said calmly: "Although Zhao Xiang'er's realm is not ordinary, if there is no Three Thousand Worlds to rely on, how can she be my opponent? That's right. Later, outside the boundary monument, I can provoke her. That little girl She might take the initiative in the heat of the moment, and then I will forge her sword hard to see if she dares to be arrogant in front of me in the future."
As Siming spoke, the faint smile between her eyebrows was like the thin moon floating on the jade bridge. She was ready to win back the lost face of Guyun City with her own hands.
Lu Marian said: "We are all a family, why should we be like this?"
"Hmph." Siming said: "Marry, do you know that good people can be bullied by others, especially Zhao Xiang'er. People like her are too strong and proud. If she doesn't establish her power, the Golden Crow Kingdom may not be able to do so in the future. There is a place for marriage."
"Is it that serious..." Lu Jianjian looked at Siming's solemn expression and said softly: "Xue Ci, you must be overthinking. Xiang'er is a very good girl and won't be like this."
Si Ming's jade fingers lightly tapped the armrest of the chair, and said earnestly: "Anyway, we must take precautions."
Lu Marian said uncertainly: "But why do I feel that the more confident Sister Xueci is, the more likely she is to fail?"
Si Mingxian was slightly cold, and after weighing it in his mind, he found that it was indeed the case.
She didn't say anything more, she just stood up slowly, her tender feet like jade petals of fresh snow walking through the glazed mirror-like hall. When she came to the mirror, the figure in her divine robes fluttering was like snow falling silently at night.
Approaching the Western Kingdom, Siming began to comb his long, silky light hair.
She arranged her clothes and make-up, and her dignified and coquettish beauty blended into one. Last time in Guyun City, she thought that Ning Changjiu had died under Ke Wenzhou's sword, and she cried until she saw Zhao Xiang'er again. But she was fully prepared.
Ning Jiujiu looked at Si Ming, who was sometimes getting dressed up quietly and sometimes fidgeting, and said, "I'm obviously the one going to meet my fiancée, why are you more serious than me?"
Siming said: "When you meet your sister, of course you have to be serious."
…
The sword reaches the Western Kingdom.
After visiting the fourth floor, Tianbang, Jiange and other famous places in China, Ning Jiujiu finally came here.
This was the first time he saw the Western Kingdom.
Legend has it that there is a Lingshan Mountain in the west. The Lingshan Mountain is full of strange flowers and lush green grass. There are Buddhas holding longevity flowers, Bodhisattvas sprinkling fairy dew, hundreds of schools of thought preaching, and thousands of immortals preaching, forming a paradise of its own.
But the Western Kingdom in front of us is not much different from the rest of Middle-earth, and Lingshan may be just a fairy tale in distant history.
The golden crow flashed by, and the figures of Lu Jianjiu and Siming appeared beside Ning Changjiu.
They stood under a tall plane tree and looked into the distance together.
It was dusk at this moment. Looking to the west, the red sun was about to fall in the sky. Large burning rosy fire dyed the twilight sky red, like a whale with scales of flames.
"It is said that in the ancient times, the sun rose very slowly for the first time, and civilization was born in the east where the sun rose. Then people followed the footsteps of the sun and migrated on pilgrimage, spreading the fire of civilization from east to west at the first dusk. Burning all over the earth.”
Siming spoke slowly, talking about one of the creation myths recorded in the classics.
Lu Marian looked at the country under the setting sun and said, "The Central Plains are about to be turned upside down, but the Western Kingdom is surprisingly quiet."
Ning Changjiu said: "With Xiang'er sitting here, it will be difficult for the Lord of God to do anything."
Siming said coldly: "We have come all the way here, and Zhao Xiang'er doesn't know how to come out to greet us. He doesn't know the etiquette."
Ning Changjiu said: "Xian'er may still be practicing, but we came here without warning and without writing a letter in advance."
Siming was even more displeased: "Huh, things were getting better before, but now that you're here, you just help her talk?"
Lu Jianjian said softly: "My husband and Xiang'er have not seen each other for a long time, so there is no other way to find fault."
Siming grabbed Lu Jianmo's hand and said seriously: "You must never be merciful when dealing with an enemy of love."
"Then we..."
"We are sisters, we are different."
"oh."
Ning sighed for a long time, thinking that she was indeed the one who led the marriage into trouble.
The setting sun lengthened their shadows.
Under the sycamore tree with all its leaves fallen, the three of them walked towards the West Country.
In the hidden world of Three Thousand Worlds, Zhao Xiang'er sat in the clouds and watched their arrival from a distance.
Today, she did not wear the luxurious and beautiful phoenix skirt, but the black and gold-painted dragon robe from the imperial city of Zhao Kingdom. The dragon robe was well-cut, and the girl's increasingly convex body curves were clearly exposed in the misty clouds in the sky. , magnificent.
She waited quietly.
When walking to a mountain road filled with fallen leaves, Siming suddenly stopped.
There is a monument in front of her.
"Is this the boundary monument?" Lu Marianjian also noticed.
Siming shook his head slightly and said, "No, this monument is newly erected."
Ning Jiujiu looked at Siming's confused and annoyed look, then looked over and found that there were words written on the tablet:
"Snow does not cross Wutong Pass."
Ning Jiujiu looked at the sycamore forest along the way and said: "This should be the Wutong Pass mentioned on the monument. After passing this sycamore forest, it should be the real territory of the Western Kingdom."
Lu Marian looked at Si Ming'e's frown and asked, "What's wrong with Sister Xueci?"
Siming said seriously: "This monument must be specially erected for me."
Lu Marian said: "Don't think too much, this inscription should say that it rarely snows in the Western Kingdom, so white snow does not cross Wutong Pass."
Siming shook his head and said: "No, this monument is too new... Humph, does the inscription mean that I am not welcome to enter?"
Ning stood aside for a long time without saying anything, just watching Siming ponder over the inscription and battle with the invisible things.
Siming looked around, expanded his consciousness, and found another monument a few miles ahead.
That's the boundary marker.
"The white snow can't reach Wutong Pass?" Siming walked past the monument and said quietly: "I will cross this monument to see what Zhao Xiang'er can do?"
Lu Marry and Ning smiled at each other for a long time and followed her helplessly.
Of course, Siming is not stupid. She knows that the previous tablet was written to her on purpose, so that she could impulsively break into the Three Thousand Worlds. If she really breaks in rashly, she will be killed by someone else. fish meat.
So outside the real boundary monument, Siming stopped.
This boundary monument only has the word "西国" written on it, but the stone monument has experienced wind, cold, frost, and snow, and is indescribably old, like a piece of iron corroded by rust.
Siming raised his head, smiled at the sky, and said, "Sister Xiang'er, why don't you come out and meet me?"
In Siming's clear and moving words, a stream of spiritual energy fell leisurely from the sky.
Ning looked forward for a long time.
Under the red sun, on the yellow ground with decaying grass, a beautiful girl with dark hair and a gorgeous dragon pattern appeared quietly. She looked at them from afar through the mist of the evening sun, with her glazed red lips curled up with a smile. A slight smile.
Ning looked over for a long time, and soon, the Western Kingdom and the setting sun receded from his sight, leaving only Zhao Xiang'er's world-famous shadow, which contained the tenderness of a girl and the majesty of an empress.
Zhao Xiang'er walked slowly with her back to the setting sun, her dark robes fluttering in the wind, and her soft hair reflecting the glow, like a mirror in the autumn light.
I don't know if it was intentional, but her attire was similar to Siming's.
Zhao Xiang'er glanced at Ning Changjiu, smiled lightly, and then set her sights on Siming.
"During the time in Guyun City, didn't Miss Xueci call her sister very affectionately?" Zhao Xiang'er looked at Si Ming with a pretty smile, but her words turned harsh: "What? Sister Xueci's wings are stiff?"
Siming looked at this girl who was slightly shorter than him. Her appearance, which looked like that of a god, was indeed breathtakingly beautiful and heart-stopping. She was also slightly intimidated by her aura, but she had secretly prepared all the way. There was no reason to back down on the spot.
"Back in Guyun City, I saw you come thousands of miles away, so I just gave you some face." Siming put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "Today is different from the past, and I will not be intimidated by you."
"Really?" Zhao Xianger glanced at Ning Changjiu and said, "Where did you get this concubine? You don't know the rules."
Ning Jiujiu pretended not to hear, he would not get involved in this war.
Siming said coldly: "Rules? Miss Zhao, do you want to teach me the rules?"
Zhao Xiang'er smiled lightly and said, "I see that Ning Changjiu often punishes you. I thought you really knew you were wrong. It seems you still want me to teach you."
Siming's eyes narrowed and he said sharply: "You are indeed peeping!"
Zhao Xiang'er said: "My Highness has always been upright, but you were the one who sneaked behind their backs. Is the cross still hidden under the floor of the ancient spirit sect's quiet room?"
Lu Marry was startled: "What kind of cross?"
Si Ming's eyes narrowed and he said, "You girl has such thin lips, and her words are really mean."
Zhao Xianger said: "What can you do?"
Lu Marion dissuaded the fight and said, "Okay, in the dream we were classmates for three years, so don't hurt our friendship over trivial matters."
How can they listen
Zhao Xiang'er said: "That's right, you can't beat me in three years in the dream, and you often need to find a wife for protection."
Siming defended: "That's because you have the slave tattoo on your body and you took advantage. If not, how can you, a little girl, be my opponent?"
"Really?" Zhao Xianger said: "Weak people will always find reasons for their own failures. This is indeed true."
The autumn wind whistled and the setting sun turned red. They faced each other across the boundary monument.
Siming said proudly: "Can the former Great God Xihe, now the Lord of the Western Kingdom, only use his words?"
Zhao Xiang'er said calmly: "If you don't come to the Western Kingdom, I'll treat you to wine and tea, and then we'll have a competition in this wasteland. The loser will bow his head and no longer think of himself as his sister. How about that?"
Si Ming's sneer on his forehead became even more serious: "Hmph, Zhao Xiang'er, do you think I'm a fool? After passing this boundary monument, you will be the territory of the Three Thousand Worlds. Isn't it all up to you to have the final say?"
Zhao Xiang'er was slightly shocked and said, "How do you know?"
Siming explained: "In the previous dream, when you invited Ning Chang to come to the Western Kingdom, you mentioned this. Why, did you let it slip?"
Zhao Xiang'er lightly covered her lips, as if she was blaming herself. Her brows were slightly condensed, her expression slightly fierce, and she said, "Then what do you want?"
Siming said: "Leave Three Thousand Worlds and have a fair fight with me!"
Zhao Xiang'er looked at the boundary of the boundary monument, shook his head and said: "No, you come in!"
Si Mingxue stepped on the boundary monument and said, "No, come out if you have the ability!"
Ning Jiujiu and Lu Jianjian wanted to dissuade her again, but Siming waved his hand and said: "This is our private matter, please don't interfere!"
Zhao Xiang'er said: "Master Priest, don't you even have the courage to enter the Western Kingdom?"
Siming said: "Oh, Ning Jiujiu said that you are very smart, but then you use such a clumsy way to provoke the general? Alas, Xiang'er, I really thought highly of you before."
Zhao Xianger said quietly: "I have never looked down upon you."
"You!" Siming bit his red lips lightly, with frost and snow flying in his pupils: "How about this, let's use this as a boundary to compete. If I win, I won't bully you. You must respect me as your elder in the future, and treat me like this The color of the long hair is gone."
Zhao Xiang'er looked at her hair and said, "What are you doing with Liao? Isn't this hair pretty?"
"Shut up." Siming said angrily, "You have done all kinds of bad things in your past and present lives!"
Zhao Xiang'er laughed and said, "Okay, how do you want to compete?"
Si Ming took out a copper coin and said: "In this way, we toss the copper coin to each other. If it's heads, I'll take action and you'll be next to me. If it's tails, I'll take action and you'll be next to me. If anyone can't stand it anymore, beg for mercy." Negative, how about it?”
Zhao Xiang'er nodded slightly and said, "Then it will be as you say."
Siming tossed the copper coin.
Zhao Xiang'er's eyes fell on the copper coins. She stared at the lines of the coins flickering in the sunset without blinking, as if she was worried about Siming cheating.
The copper coin rose to the highest point and then fell after a moment of silence that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.
At this turning point, when Zhao Xiang'er was concentrating, Siming suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the girl's arm, and pulled her across the line of the boundary monument with Xiang'er's soft cry.
Siming grabbed the copper coin with his other hand and squeezed it back into his hand.
"You..." Zhao Xiang'er looked back at the boundary monument. It was so sudden that she didn't have time to use the power of pure Yang.
The girl looked sullen, "How dare you lie to me!"
Siming smiled and said: "A soldier never tires of deceit, Xiang'er, this is the first lesson my sister has taught you."
Si Ming looked at Ning Changjiu and Lu Jianjiu with great authority and said, "I learned this from the six-eared macaque. People are most vulnerable when they are most focused. How about that?"
Ning Jiujiu didn't know whether he should praise her or not.
Zhao Xiang'er twisted her wrist, pursed her lips and hummed, "You... let me go!"
Si Ming looked at her condescendingly: "Huh? Miss Xiang'er was so arrogant before, why can't she hold on all of a sudden? Let me see if the noble Sun Goddess, the Lord of the Western Kingdom, will cry when she is spanked. Woolen cloth?"
"How dare you!" Zhao Xianger glared at her fiercely.
Si Ming has been waiting for this moment for a long time, why don't he dare? She sat directly on the boundary monument, grabbed Zhao Xiang'er's wrist, pulled her hard, and pressed the girl in black dragon robe on her thigh with her backhand. The young and soft body of the girl was unparalleled in beauty. Siming admired it. Looking at this incomparable beauty, he raised his palm high and shook it down.
She was clearly holding the opponent's hand back, but the blow miraculously failed.
Zhao Xiang'er's body turned into a flame, which quickly dissipated, and then transformed into a girl again in front of her.
She stared at Siming with a quiet smile and said, "I didn't expect Sister Xue Ci to be really brave?"
"How did you..." Siming was puzzled. She had obviously used time authority to lock her opponent.
Siming stood up subconsciously, but found that his body was locked.
What locked her was not some spell, but the whole world.
Zhao Xiang'er smiled and said: "In the dream, I deliberately raised my voice to tell you about the boundary monument. I didn't expect you to be fooled."
"What?" Siming frowned. The boundary monument under her seat was extremely old. It was clearly the boundary monument of the Western Kingdom...
Zhao Xianger explained: "This is not the original location of this monument. The white snow monument you saw earlier is. I moved the Western Border Monument a few miles and moved it here. As for that monument... Now that the boundary monument has been moved, , there must be a hole left, if I filled it in deliberately, I was afraid that you would notice, so I replaced it with a new monument."
Zhao Xiang'er smiled and said: "If you were more careful, you should be able to detect the clues. It's a pity that you were attracted by the content on the boundary monument, right? People are so fragile when they are focused. This is what my sister taught you. The first lesson.”
Siming looked at Zhao Xiang'er who was approaching step by step, unable to move.
how…
Si Ming looked at Ning Changjiu, "Husband, save me!"
The words were short, the fire phoenix passed by, and before Ning Jiujiu and Lu Jianwen could express their opinions, the two goddesses disappeared into the wasteland.
At the same time, the setting sun fell in the Western Kingdom, and the stars twinkled in the dark blue sky.
Lu Marian looked at them in surprise and said, "This... If it were me and I became their enemy, I might not survive the next day."
Ning Jiujiu sighed and said with a smile: "Marry well, don't imitate them."
Lu Marry looked at the night-shrouded Western Kingdom and said, "Then let's..."
"What else can be done?" Ning Changjiu pointed to the sky, where the Three Thousand Worlds were suspended: "Your sister Xue Ci has been captured. Are you not allowed to rescue her?"
…
"I... I just..."
Si Ming stood in the center of the Three Thousand Worlds, looking at the back of the woman in the dragon robe, his aura dropped to the bottom.
Zhao Xianger, the leader, looked at her with a smile, "Huh? We are the only two sisters left now. If you have any private conversations, feel free to talk."
Si Ming gathered his composure, but he wanted to say sternly: "Humph, I already said it outside the boundary monument when it's time to say it!"
"Is it?"
Zhao Xianger asked lightly.
She walked towards Siming.
Soon, Si Ming's iron bones disappeared, and her voice for mercy rang out in the beautiful world.
"Sister Xiang'er... I, I was just joking with you."
"Stop fighting. Xue'er has realized her mistake and won't dare to do it again..."
"Ah! Don't pull... the tail..."
“…”
"Me! I have evidence that Ning Changjiu is speaking ill of you behind your back! Let me show it to Sister Zhao to make up for the crime."
Siming suddenly said loudly.
Zhao Xiang'er raised her eyebrows lightly and said with a smile: "Do you still need evidence? Forget it, show it to me."
Siming took out a recording stone and handed it to her.
At this time, Ning Jiujiu also came to three thousand worlds away.
