When Ning Changjiu woke up from the bed, he smelled the smell of rice.
He struggled with his body, which seemed to have exhausted all its strength. All his limbs were like nails, nailing him firmly to the couch. He turned his head weakly and caught a glimpse of Zhao Xiang'er's beautiful back.
The pretty girl is wearing a brand new red and white pleated skirt, with her hair hanging down like a waterfall, her thighs under the skirt are slim and tight, and the bow at the back of her waist is neatly tied, all showing her youthful beauty.
Her body moved lightly, and her original porcelain white skin showed a sense of warmth. The girl took a spoon, took something from the boiler made of thin ice in front of her, and gently put it to her lips, as if Testing the temperature and taste.
"Xiang'er..." Ning Jiujiu shouted, his throat a little dry.
Zhao Xianger looked back at him, a little surprised: "Are you awake so early?"
Ning Jiujiu felt that she was mocking him and asked, "Why did you get up earlier than me?"
Zhao Xiang'er said: "I want to try cooking...don't you always laugh at me for not being able to cook delicious food? I want to prove myself."
Doesn't it prove that it really tastes bad... Ning Jiujiu dared to think but dared not say it. He closed his eyes, and for a while he couldn't accept the fact that Xiang'er not only woke up earlier than him, but also made breakfast for him.
He said firmly: "Xian'er must be very weak now, right? Have a good rest and I will cook."
Zhao Xiang'er blinked, her smile was sly and charming, she stepped aside and said, "Then do it."
Ning Jiujiu took a deep breath, managed to stand up, and slowly let his spiritual energy circulate. When he was about to leave the bed and walk to Xiang'er's side, Zhao Xiang'er pounced back like a wild cat, sat on his waist, and held He pressed back onto the bed.
"Really coming? Do you think my cooking is not delicious?" Zhao Xianger asked with a frown.
"No." Ning gave up resistance for a long time. He looked into the girl's eyes and said, "Xian'er... is delicious."
Zhao Xiang'er pursed her lips, looked at his face, and asked, "Are you tired?"
Ning Jiujiu said calmly: "I'm not tired at all."
Zhao Xiang'er smiled slightly. She released her hand that was holding Ning Changjiu and said, "It doesn't matter. The three thousand worlds are infinite. The Golden Crow walking through it is like the Jingwei filling up the sea. Of course, it cannot reach the end of the endless world. .”
Ning recalled what happened last night for a long time, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. He said: "It turns out that the three thousand worlds really exist."
Zhao Xiang'er hummed, the tip of her tongue gently touched the fine teeth, and said: "A year ago, if the snow kite had not disturbed us, we should have understood it already."
"Three Thousand Worlds are indeed powerful and extraordinary." Ning Jiujiu recalled that endless world journey, sighed with emotion, and asked: "What would happen if Xiang'er truly understood the power of such authority?"
"I don't know either." Zhao Xianger tilted his head and said seriously: "But by then, you will no longer be my opponent."
"Yes, Xiang'er is the most powerful." Ning looked at her fondly for a long time.
For some reason, Ning Jiujiu thought of his previous life again.
In his previous life, when he submitted the marriage letter, he never knew what he missed...
Fortunately, we can go back twelve years and everything can be repeated.
It's just... is that really going back in time
Ning Jiujiu has never been able to avoid this problem.
As the two of them were talking, Zhao Xiang'er's beautiful nose moved slightly, then she suddenly turned her head away and said regretfully: "It seems... burnt?"
Ning Jiujiang raised his hand with difficulty and used the power of time to turn it back slightly.
The burning smell disappeared, but instead of feeling happy, Zhao Xianger glared at Ning Changjiu with slight resentment.
Ning realized it after a long time and thought that Xiang'er might have burnt it on purpose - it didn't taste good anyway, so if it was burnt, he could shirk responsibility.
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as it's the rice cooked by Xiang'er, I'll finish it no matter what."
Zhao Xianger nodded.
Soon, Ning Jiujiu regretted his arrogant remarks.
He ate the rice cooked by Zhao Xianger in small bites without changing his expression.
Zhao Xiang'er sat aside, tapping the chess pieces gently, playing chess with himself.
"When you lost to me in chess, was Xiang'er always unhappy?" Ning Changjiu asked.
Zhao Xiang'er nodded without hesitation and said, "In recent years, when I have some free time, I will play chess with myself."
Ning Jiujiu said: "Aren't there two maids in the Three Thousand Worlds? Why not let them accompany you?"
Zhao Xiang'er said faintly: "What's the difference between this and me playing chess against national players in the Zhao Kingdom? They would all try their best to deliberately lose to me, unable to sharpen their chess skills at all... I am the only one who will not deceive myself, so I hold the black and white stones in my hand. Play games with yourself, so that your chess skills can be doubled!"
Ning listened to her theory for a long time, thinking that she was indeed his wife. He thought for a moment and asked: "Then if you fight with yourself, can your cultivation level be doubled?"
Zhao Xianger smiled, picked up a chess piece and placed it slowly on the chessboard, "Of course, because the path of spiritual cultivation is a process of competing with oneself."
Ning Jiujiu nodded thoughtfully, and while agreeing with Zhao Xiang'er's point of view, he quietly gathered the rice away, shattered the void, and poured it in.
He walked up to Zhao Xiang'er, picked up the chess pieces, and started playing chess with her.
"Have you finished eating?" Zhao Xianger asked.
"Yeah." Ning Jiujiu wiped his lips symbolically.
"Is it delicious?"
"Hmm... Anyway, it's a nostalgic taste."
Ning Jiujiu answered casually, and the two started playing chess. Zhao Xiang'er's brows furrowed more and more tightly, and then, just like in the palace back then, the sound of the chess pieces falling to the ground sounded loudly.
"I accidentally knocked over the chessboard..." Zhao Xianger said slightly apologetically.
Ning looked at her gently for a long time and said, "It's okay."
As he spoke, he activated the power of time, and the chess game returned to its original state. He made a continue gesture towards Zhao Xianger.
The apology on Zhao Xianger's face disappeared instantly, and the battle on the chessboard evolved into a battle outside the chessboard.
Clouds are flying in the fairy pavilion.
By the time Lu Yueyue and Si Ming arrived, the morning had passed, and the light in the Three Thousand Worlds was bright. Looking out through the wall of the world, it was a pale yellow color.
Siming walked to Ning Changjiu, narrowed his eyes at him, and said, "Were you bullied by the little tiger?"
Ning Jiujiu said: "We are already out of danger."
Lu Married said: "It seems that your husband has met a match?"
Siming sneered, "Do you think everyone is as useless as Marry?"
Lu Marry's earlobes were slightly red, she hummed and turned her head away, "It sounds like you are so awesome."
With the friendly greetings in the early morning, the two days that belonged to them finally passed. The four of them sat down around and began to discuss the future.
"Next month, we will sail across the Suzaku Star. I don't know if the Suzaku Shrine will be opened." Lu Jiaoyue said worriedly.
"Probably not." Ning Jiujiu speculated: "The Dark Lord's consciousness is slow because of its huge size, but when the Thunder Moon passed by, it did not light up the Thunder Star. This shows that the Dark Lord has judgment, although this judgment is very difficult. Slowly but apparently it becomes clear who the traitor is."
Zhao Xianger agreed with him: "I also think that the Suzaku Kingdom will not be opened."
"After Suzaku is Ming Xie..." Lu Marry counted on her fingers.
"Ming Xie is the strongest among the remaining God Lords. If I were the Dark Lord, I would try my best to put all my bets on it." Siming said.
"The most worrying thing is that we still don't know the specific location of Ming Xie's kingdom." Zhao Xianger pointed out the key to killing Ming Xie.
Ning Jiujiu said: "Master said that the Kingdom of Minghuo should be on the highest mountain."
Zhao Xiang'er wondered: "The real Kunlun Fairy Mountain has collapsed long ago. Where can the highest peak come from in the world?"
Ning Jiujiu shook his head. Now that the Kingdom of Hell has not been opened after all, all discussions are just conjectures.
"I don't know how long the saint can sustain it." Lu Jiaojian looked at the high sky and said worriedly: "Humanity has gone through several wars, and everything is waiting for improvement. There is not much time left for us, even five hundred years ago. The grand occasion of hundreds of practitioners of the Five Paths rebelling against heaven may not be able to be replicated.”
Ning Jiujiu gave the answer directly: "Eight years. The saint should be able to support eight years."
Lu Marian frowned and understood immediately... He died at the age of twenty-eight in his previous life. That was eight years later. It was the final day of the third hunting war, and it was also the day of the decisive battle that the master had already decided. .
Ning Jiujiu continued: "Ye Chu also said that when I was twenty-eight years old, I was destined to die. As long as I am still in the light cone of fate, I will not be able to escape. Eight years later, it is likely to be the node of the world. .”
There was no sadness when he said this, as if he was saying that he would definitely escape from that cone of light.
But as for what to do, he still didn't have a clear answer.
Zhao Xianger, who was wearing a pleated skirt, lowered her head and seemed to be thinking about something.
Lu Marian noticed the change in her mood and asked softly: "Xian'er, what's wrong?"
Zhao Xianger raised her head and said, "I'm still thinking about the Three Thousand Worlds."
"Three Thousand Worlds?" Lu Jianjiao and Siming didn't know about this yet.
Zhao Xiang'er glanced at Ning Changjiu, and then whispered the secret about the three thousand worlds.
"It's actually like this..."
"Xian'er is truly a precious weapon that surpasses all others."
Lu Jianjian and Siming both praised him.
Zhao Xiang'er clenched her fists and said, "The point I'm talking about is space authority! Three Thousand Worlds, that... um... that's just evidence!"
Ning Jiujiu asked: "Did Xiang'er think of anything else?"
Zhao Xiang'er nodded and said, "I heard you told Xue Ci that you still have one more life to live..."
"Well, I've hidden this from you for a long time." Ning Jiujiu lowered his head and said slightly apologetically: "When we made the three-year appointment, I didn't know how to explain this. Later, we were separated for too long and I didn't have the chance to tell you."
But he didn't need to explain anything more. When Xiang'er was in charge of the Three Thousand Worlds, she knew it through the water mirror.
Lu Marian complained at the side: "Not only does he have another life, he also rejected your marriage certificate in that life."
Ning Jiujiu glanced at Lu Marian and lamented that Lu Marian was so bold.
"Reject my marriage letter?" Zhao Xiang'er groaned. She stared at Ning for a long time and said coldly: "You can really do anything."
Ning Jiujiu wanted to argue, but Zhao Xiang'er was too lazy to listen to his explanation. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll settle the score with you later!"
Ning Jiujiu rubbed his forehead and sighed helplessly.
Zhao Xianger continued: "That marriage certificate may not be important."
Ning Jiujiu immediately stated his position: "I think it's very important."
"That's not what I meant! Don't interrupt!" Zhao Xiang'er took a deep breath and said angrily: "What I mean is that you rejected the marriage contract at that time, and Master did not force you to do so. It means that no matter you agree to the marriage contract or not, , to Master, they are not important."
Ning Jiujiu nodded slightly and agreed with her.
They were predestined in their previous life, and Master arranged this, perhaps just to give himself the right to choose, so that he could live a happy and peaceful life.
Zhao Xiang'er continued to ask herself: "Then Master made a deal with Suzaku to resurrect my soul with the power of life. What is the purpose of it?"
Siming wrung his fingers and thought together, and she understood: "If the birth of Xiang'er is a bet between Master and the Suzaku God, then what they are betting on should be the same thing!"
"Well, that's what I think too." Lu Married said after realizing it.
Zhao Xiang'er nodded and said: "Yes, I think they all want to own the Three Thousand Worlds. Suzaku has my soul, but it cannot occupy the power within it. However, Master has the power of life and can revive me and regain me." The opportunity to unlock that power, so regarding my 'bet', Master and Suzaku are complementary, and what they want should be in my body, which has evolved the power of space authority in the three thousand worlds."
Ning Jiujiu said: "So during Xiang'er's growth, Zhuque has been trying to find ways to get Jiuyu to get close to you and replace you, while the master has used considerable power to protect you as you grow up."
"Um."
Zhao Xianger sat at the cloud table, lowered her eyebrows, thinking about her life.
She has lived on a thorny road since she was a child. Man-eating monsters hide in the jungle. Vicious hunters disguise themselves as her shadow and follow her obediently. Guardians also hide in the woods. In a place she couldn't see, it accompanied her from ignorance to growing up.
Zhao Xiang'er was no longer the girl who admired her 'mother' so much. She finally understood everything.
Zhao Xiang'er looked at Ning Changjiu and said, "So, at the end of the previous life, who got the power of the three thousand worlds?"
Ning Jiujiu shook his head and said, "I know very little about my previous life."
Zhao Xiang'er sighed and complained: "Why were you so stupid in your previous life? If you were half as smart as you are now, you would probably be king and hegemon in the future."
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said, "If you weren't stupid, how could you refuse Xiang'er's marriage certificate?"
Zhao Xiang'er turned away and ignored him.
"Time, destiny, space..."
Siming pondered these three authorities, sorted out his thoughts, and vaguely understood something, but he did not form a specific and complete idea.
They continued to discuss the future.
In the days to come, Ning Jiujiu will still be the main force in killing the king, and truly top immortals like them will also focus on writing secret books, developing alchemy methods, digging veins to dig out spiritual energy, and accelerating its filtration and generation, laying the foundation for the next step. In the past eight years, the foundation has been laid for the explosive growth of human cultivators.
The shackles that oppressed human ascetics have been broken, and the path from entering the Mysterious Realm to the Five Paths has been unimpeded. When the restoration of the world is completed, this explosive growth will truly begin.
Of course, their primary enemy now will still be Ming Xie two months later.
"When the Minghui Divine Kingdom first opens, we must know its location as quickly as possible and not give him any time to breathe." Ning Jiujiu said: "So before that, we must block all the peaks in the world."
"Block all peaks?"
"Yes." Ning Jiujiu said: "Leave a mark on those peaks. When the Kingdom of God opens, the mark will be triggered and known to us."
Siming asked: "Even if we can sense that the mark is triggered, we can't get there immediately."
Zhao Xiang'er immediately said: "There is a way."
She raised her fingertips slightly and said: "Three Thousand Worlds can quickly cross the world. I have demonstrated it before in Guyun City and the group. But every time it is used, the wear and tear is great. After Guyun City and the group, Three Thousand Worlds It has not recovered for a long time, but... But today I found that this world seems to be much more vivid than before."
Lu Marry and Siming both looked at her with strange expressions.
"Don't think too much!" Zhao Xiang'er said fiercely: "The recovery of the Three Thousand Worlds is due to my arduous practice... In short, before the opening of the Netherworld Divine Kingdom, the Three Thousand Worlds should be able to start again."
Ning Jiujiu nodded.
He knew that Ming Xiong was powerful and would not underestimate his enemy.
The general matter has been discussed, and they are calculating the days, thinking that the evil letter should have been handed over to the ancient Netherworld, and the plan to raise the Dark Lord has also been put on the agenda. They need to take time to return to the Netherworld to help Xiaoling. Kill those who devour spirits.
After everyone had finished discussing, Zhao Xiang'er was about to stand up, but Si Ming grabbed her wrist.
"Xiang'er, it's time for us to talk about business." Siming said with a smile.
Zhao Xiang'er asked: "Sister, what do you want to discuss with me?"
Siming stretched her hands behind her, gathered up her light-colored hair, and pushed it in front of her body. She looked at Zhao Xiang'er and said, "Xiang'er, my hair..."
Zhao Xiang'er opened her eyes innocently and said, "Sister Xue Ci's hair is very beautiful."
Si Ming stopped being euphemistic and said straightforwardly: "Master said you can help me burn the color away."
Zhao Xianger smiled like a kitten and said, "Is this the tone of begging me?"
Siming turned his head slightly and found that Lu Jianyou and Ning Changjiu were looking at him. Her dimples were slightly red, and she did not want to ask for help in front of others, but just stared at Zhao Xiang'er quietly.
Zhao Xiang'er grabbed her hand and pulled it in front of him. Then, under Siming's puzzled eyes, the girl kept writing the word '十' in her palm.
Siming understood immediately. His surface emotions could be controlled, but his inner emotions could not be concealed. His long hair gradually changed color.
"Xiang'er...sister." Si Ming stared at Zhao Xiang'er and shouted seriously.
Only then did Zhao Xiang'er retract her hand. She rubbed Siming's hair and said, "Sister Xue Ci, please be obedient later, otherwise I'm afraid I might accidentally burn my hair."
Siming chose to be patient and said softly: "Yes, I understand..."
Zhao Xiang'er and Siming entered the back room.
The clouds gathered into a barrel shape, which was quickly filled with clear and gentle water. The black divine robes were stacked on one side. Si Ming crossed his arms on his chest and slowly submerged into the water. Zhao Xiang'er soaked all her hair to prevent Feng The fire hurt her, so she stretched out her jade fingers, condensed flames on her fingertips, and washed the color from Siming's hair one lock at a time.
The faint color faded, and the silvery white wrapped in it was revealed again, as if Si Ming was slowly fading away from the hustle and bustle of worldly contamination, and gradually returned to a priest sitting alone and supporting the Kingdom of God.
Zhao Xiang'er teased her with words from time to time and observed the changes in her hair color. Although Si Ming had a cold look on his face, he could clearly feel that Zhao Xiang'er's movements were delicate.
When her pastel hair turned back to silver, Zhao Xiang'er breathed a sigh of relief and said, "From now on, Sister Xue Ci can continue to speak boldly."
Siming looked at the familiar silver hair, smiled lightly, and said, "Thank you, Sister Xiang'er."
Zhao Xiang'er pretended to be surprised: "What did you just say?"
Siming closed his eyes, soaked most of his body in the water, and repeated: "Thank you, Sister Xiang'er..."
Ning Changjiu and Lu Jiaojiu were drinking tea outside, deliberating over the details of various future plans.
"Back in the Golden Crow Divine Kingdom, we forged eighty-one swords together, and a large part of them were still living in the world. Now that Marry has become the co-owner of the Divine Sword, it's time to take them back." Ning Changjiu said.
The eighty-one swords were originally designed to defeat the God Lord and the Dark Lord. Some of them became the sword spirits of the monks, but more of them were still in a state of being ownerless. The Golden Crow Kingdom was rebuilt, and these frost blades had not been tried. It’s time for the famous sword to return.
Lu Marion nodded and said, "Well, I have been planning this recently."
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said: "Marry is getting smarter and smarter. It seems that your husband doesn't need to worry too much."
Lu Marry also laughed. She looked at Ning Changjiu's face and asked, "Why do you look a little uneasy?"
Ning Jiujiu said truthfully: "Today has brought forward the events of my previous life, so I can't help but think about it too much."
Lu Marian asked: "Are you still thinking about that problem?"
Ning Jiujiu nodded and said, "Yes."
They had talked before about why they turned back the clock twelve years and found themselves no longer in the dark, but instead became the little Taoist priest next to Ning Qinshui.
When the porridge is burnt, if you go back in time for a moment, you will only go back to the time when it was not yet burnt. There will never be a situation where the rice is still unharvested in the rice fields.
Is this really going back in time
Or... at the end of the previous life, Master changed the entire time and space
Ning thought about this for a long time.
The door opened, and Zhao Xiang'er and Siming walked out of the back room together. Siming smiled brightly at Ning for a long time. The silver-haired woman in black robes returned to her original state, and her face remained quiet and beautiful, just like the ancient paintings hidden in the temple. .
Zhao Xiang'er was wearing a pleated skirt and snow-silk white stockings. She always had a smile on her face. She clearly had the demeanor of a goddess, but she looked like a little goblin hiding bad water.
"Although Sister Xueci looks better now, I still miss the way she was before." Lu Marian looked at her and smiled softly.
Siming said calmly: "How about asking Sister Xiang'er to dye your hair too?"
Zhao Xiang'er also looked at Lu Jianjian and said, "Sister Jianjian, do you need it?"
Lu Marian shook her head quickly, she didn't want her little thoughts to be exposed to the sun.
Ning listened to their conversation for a long time and was surprised to find that a new sister chain cycle had unknowingly formed...
After a short and warm time in the Three Thousand Worlds, they will go to the snowy world together.
