Siming stepped on the snow, and his feet covered in white snow were like crystal-growing flowers.
This is a snow-capped mountain with extremely high peaks that pierce the clouds and reach the sky.
It was already the end of December in the blink of an eye. Siming stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the cold mist between the peaks. He stretched out his finger and left a rune on the top of the mountain.
Ning Changjiu and Lu Marry also walked from behind on the white snow. They each left a talisman at different locations on the top of the mountain. The three talismans are connected together to form a formation. If the Kingdom of God is opened above, the fluctuations of spiritual energy will be sensed by the talisman, and the information will be simultaneously transmitted to Ning Jiujiu's sea of consciousness.
This is the forty-fifth peak they have blocked.
Although the Kunlun Heavenly Pillar was destroyed, and the world has experienced several disasters, the world is too vast, and there are still wild places that many people have not been able to set foot on. These wild places hide many secret caves, and even many ancient evil gods are dormant. .
These wild places with giant peaks rising from the ground should be the place for the decisive battle with Ming Xiu in the future.
"Although Ming Xie's strength is outstanding among the existing God Lords, do we really need to go to war against him at this moment?" Siming blew away the spiritual energy from his fingertips and asked.
Ning Changjiu said: "You must have thought the same way when you were chasing me in Duanjie City, right?"
Siming's eyes were sharp and he said calmly: "Why are you bringing up those old things?"
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said, "I just want to remind Xue'er that you will get the consequences of being overpowered by enemies."
Siming snorted coldly and didn't answer. He crossed his arms under his chest. He looked very proud indeed.
Lu Marion stood on the edge of the cliff, feeling the thin and cold air. She stretched out her hand and grabbed it in the air.
The ice surface of a pool on the mountainside suddenly broke, and cracks spread on the ice. Then, a whistling sound came from far and near, and the cold mist below shattered. When Lu Jiaoyou opened her eyes, the sword light flashed simultaneously. The bottom of his eyes lit up.
She stretched out her hand and grabbed it from the air, and a rusty iron sword stopped in front of her with a buzz.
Lu Yaoyao skillfully flicked her fingers in the air, and the rusty red covering the sword embryo peeled off in an instant, revealing the smooth surface of the sword embryo.
"Fifty-one." Lu Yueyou counted the number, and then with a thought, the sword turned into a stream of light and dissipated beside her.
Si Ming said: "Searching one by one is too slow. Don't you have the order of the sword pavilion? Can't you command the group of swords?"
Ning Jiujiu explained: "The eighty-one swords of the Sun God Kingdom are not under the control of the sword pavilion."
Siming nodded, and she asked: "Where to go next? Next mountain?"
Ning Changjiu made a rough calculation and found that there are sixty-four mountains left in the world that can still be called peaks. In less than a month, they have blocked most of them. After tonight, it will be the Suzaku Moon, and there will be more In one month's time, the killing of the God Lord will begin again.
"Let's go back to the sword pavilion first." Ning Jiujiu said: "After all, I am the new master of the sword pavilion. I haven't gone back to see it since I took over. It doesn't sound right."
Siming said: "Liu Xiwan, that little girl, didn't you just come when you called her? Why did you go back to see her?"
Ning Jiujiu replied: "The main reason is that I am worried about everyone... The real world is about to be fully revealed, which will have a huge impact on everyone. Although Jiange has unparalleled prestige in the world, the sword master has passed away after all. If Jiange has been leaderless for a long time, I am afraid it will be difficult to accept. Everyone."
Lu Marry also nodded and said, "I also think it's time to go back."
Saying this, Lu Jianjian couldn't help but think of the Yujian Tianzong. She has always had deep feelings for the sect where she grew up. Unlike Siming, the master of the Ancient Spirit Sect, she would not remember it unless others reminded her. He has become the master of the Ancient Spirit Sect.
It was the end of December, and snow was falling on the peak again.
The three of them looked up at the clear night sky in the snow, waiting quietly for the month to pass. As midnight approached, they looked toward the west together.
If the Suzaku Divine Kingdom is opened, Zhao Xiang'er will respond to them.
The West Country was quiet.
Obviously, the dark master has understood the identity of Suzaku's traitor and has not spent any effort to open the Kingdom of God.
Ning Jiujiu didn't find it strange. Everything happened according to the planned plan.
In January, the snow in the world is getting heavier and heavier.
When the morning light pierced the snow and fog, Ning Changjiu and others arrived at the Jiange.
The Sword Pavilion is also located near the center of Zhongtu and is built against the mountain. From the outside, it looks more like a temple, but inside the Sword Pavilion there is a unique scene of the cave.
Jiange no longer has fourteen disciples. In the past two months, Jiange has begun to recruit disciples. Many naive and unfamiliar figures can be seen on Jianping. Most of these disciples are helping to rebuild the Eighty-one City. The excellent embryos discovered at that time were brought into the Jiange Pavilion to practice together.
There are no realm obstacles on the current path of cultivation, so the speed of these children's cultivation is surprisingly fast.
"In the past, when I was in the Sword Sect, being able to become an immortal at the age of sixteen was already a rare talent. Times have changed so fast." Lu Marian said with emotion as she walked in the snow and looked at the sword light on the Jianping Ping.
Ning Changjiu said: "It's just that the road before the Five Paths is smooth, but the road after that is just as rugged and difficult. It is never easy to achieve righteousness."
Ning Jiujiu looked away from Jianping and was about to walk into Jiange. A little girl wearing a cotton-padded jacket with cheeks red from pain blocked their way.
"Who are you? Why are you so unfamiliar? Do you want to break into the sword pavilion without permission?"
The little girl held the sword and stared at them carefully.
Ning Changjiu asked doubtfully: "Is the little girl over ten years old? When did the Jiange want a little girl to guard the gate?"
The little girl rubbed her cold red face and said confidently: "I am eight years old this year! I... I am guarding the door for my sister. When my sister left, she told me that it is the same for anyone who guards the door. No one dares to break into the sword pavilion anyway. I think I saw my senior brothers and sisters practicing swordsmanship, so I took this job."
Ning Jiujiu felt that there was some truth to this and asked, "Which sister told you this?"
The little girl said warily: "I won't tell you, my sister is an iceberg beauty, and she doesn't like others to say her name casually."
Ning Jiujiu asked: "Then what is your name?"
The little girl said seriously: "Luo Xiaopei."
"You have very good bones." Ning praised her for a long time and asked: "Miss Luo, how can we get in?"
Luo Xiaopei stared at them quite nervously. It had to be said that this young man in white clothes was very handsome, and the two women next to him were even more stunningly beautiful. They looked like they had been transformed into fairies, which made people afraid to look too much. Have a look.
Luo Xiaopei subconsciously took two steps back and bumped her heels on the threshold. She was slightly shaken. She remembered her senior sister's instructions and said, "You must have a token issued by your second senior sister before you can enter."
"Second Senior Sister?" Ning Changjiu asked, "Is it Liu Junzhuo?"
Luo Xiaopei said angrily: "Keep your voice down and don't call senior sister by her name. This is disrespectful to senior sister and you will be punished."
Ning Jiujiu asked curiously: "You call her senior sister? Isn't this seniority wrong?"
Luo Xiaopei explained: "Senior sister said that we are all her apprentices, so in name, she is still our senior sister."
Ning Changjiu nodded, feeling secretly worried. He didn't expect that in such a short period of time, he would gain so many disciples without even realizing it.
He looked at the nervous little girl and said, "You haven't really entered the realm yet and it's difficult to protect your body with spiritual energy. Go back to the house and rest first. You will freeze your body outside in such a cold day."
With that said, Ning Jiujiu took out the Order of the Master of the Jiange Pavilion and handed it to her.
Luo Xiaopei frowned and took the token with a puzzled look on his face. He looked at it horizontally and vertically, and finally shook his head vigorously and said: "It's not such a token. You can't deceive me... In short, you are not allowed to go in without a token. If you want to Otherwise I will be punished."
Ning Jiujiu sighed. He could have entered quietly, but looking at the persistence on the little girl's face, if he suddenly disappeared, I'm afraid she would sit on the ground and cry...
Siming and Lu Marry looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.
Ning Jiujiu took back the token and said, "Are the Jiange's disciplines so strict now? Are they going to punish a little girl like you?"
Luo Xiaopei shook his head and said cautiously: "No, senior sister is very good to us... It's just that the fourteenth senior sister told me that although our senior brothers and sisters are all very good, the master is very cruel. It is said that the master used to be a great master." Even though the devil later changed his ways, he would still turn into a big bad wolf on the night of the waning moon, specializing in eating those disciples who triggered the sect rules."
Luo Xiaopei opened her arms to stop them, her eyes showing pleading.
Ning looked at each other for a long time with the two women beside him.
Ning looked at the little girl for a long time and said, "So, the iceberg beauty you are talking about is your Fourteenth Senior Sister? Did she ask you to be on duty here?"
Luo Xiaopei covered her mouth gently, thinking she had missed something.
Ning Jiujiu sighed and asked, "What else did your senior sister say about your master? Little Sword Fairy Luo Luo can tell me."
Luo Xiaopei thought he was frightened by the master's story. She also recovered and realized the supreme status of her sword pavilion in Middle-earth. So she put her hands on her hips to encourage herself and recited the story told to her by Senior Sister Fourteenth in an orderly manner. The story of Master.
Lu Marry and Siming listened with interest.
"Master is not only a big demon wolf, but also especially likes to eat girls. Senior sister said that a fairy sister of the Sword Sect named Lu and a bad sister named Si have been eaten! In short, it is very scary. Moreover, on the full moon At night, Master will also transform into a great ape."
"Um, wasn't he still the big bad wolf just now?"
"That was the night of the waning moon, and I'm talking about the night of the full moon now!"
"Oh... your master is so amazing, he can change so much."
"Of course, according to senior sister, master has seventy-seventy-two changes! In short, he can change anything, and he can also change according to the weather and mood. It's very scary!" Luo Xiaopei lowered his voice, his childish eyes His eyes were shining, and he seemed to be scared inside.
"Seven seven seventy-two..." Ning Jiujiu was not sure whether it was because of nervousness or poor arithmetic. He sighed: "Your master is really a bad guy."
Luo Xiaopei heard this but quickly waved her hands and said: "Master is a good person. Although he is scary, he only eats bad guys, so we must be good children!"
Luo Xiaopei was talking to him when a cold voice came from behind.
"Xiao Pei, who are you talking to?"
The person who came was none other than Liu Xiwan, who had messy short hair and was wrapped in a black cloak.
Although Liu Xiwan is not tall, she has a slender figure. Under the black hair and black cloak, this young senior sister looks quite cold.
Luo Xiaopei's heart trembled, and she said: "Senior sister, someone is coming to break in... No, they haven't broken in yet, because they don't have the token to enter."
"Aren't you just trying to break in?" Liu Xiwan said lightly: "Who is so bold?"
She walked behind the door and came to Luo Xiaopei's side. She raised her head and met Ning Changchun's smiling face, and then froze.
Luo Xiaopei was still complaining in a low voice.
Liu Xiwan listened numbly.
After Luo Xiaopei finished speaking, he was surprised to find that everyone around him became quiet. Senior Sister Xiaoliu, who had always been serious about words and expressions, looked extremely complicated at this moment.
"Senior sister, what's wrong? Is this a bad person?" Luo Xiaopei asked cautiously.
Liu Xiwan didn't know how to explain it. Under the gaze of the three people, she slowly lowered her head and bowed deeply.
"Meet...meet the master." Liu Xiwan bit her lip and said reluctantly.
Luo Xiaopei was shocked. She had never seen her senior sister look like this. Normally, her senior sister was cold, arrogant and unsmiling. Why... wait! Master...Master? !
Luo Xiaopei's mouth suddenly opened wide, letting the cold wind like a knife pour in.
She stared at Ning for a long time and then blinked.
"Well, I am the Great Demon Wolf." Ning looked at the young apprentice for a long time and made the final confirmation.
…
Liu Xiwan no longer had that arrogant and cold look. She lowered her head slightly all the way and maintained her temperament, leading Ning Jiujiu and others to the cave.
Luo Xiaopei was put to rest in the house, and Liu Xiwan handed her a small heater.
"Senior sister, why are master's words different from yours?" Luo Xiaopei asked in a low voice.
Liu Xiwan secretly glanced back and found that Ning Jiujiu was not looking at her, so she whispered: "Because it's not the time for the moon to rise yet..."
"Xiwan, what are you talking about?" Ning looked at her for a long time.
"Ah... nothing." Liu Xiwan immediately distanced herself from Luo Xiaopei, trotted to Ning Changjiu, and said, "Master, I will lead you to the cabinet right now."
In Luo Xiaopei's doubtful eyes, the iceberg beauty senior sister in her eyes took her master and two people who seemed to be senior sisters to the depths of the cave.
When Liu Xiwan left, Luo Xiaopei worriedly reminded her senior sister to protect herself and avoid being eaten.
Deep in the cave.
That was the end of the Seventy-Two Cave Heavens, where Ke Wenzhou once lived.
The furnishings here have been cleaned and tidied up, and the old things used by the old sword master are hidden in the treasure pavilion and put on display. Each sword tells a story next to it.
"Xiao Xiwan's prestige in Jiange is really high." Ning Changjiu looked at her with a smile.
Liu Xiwan stretched out her hand to comb her hair and said, "Who told you not to come back... The Jiange is leaderless, and the master of the pavilion cannot even create an image."
Ning Jiujiu said: "So I was shaped into a big devil wolf and a big ape?"
Lu Marry also said: "So I was eaten?"
Siming came one after another: "So I am a bad woman?"
"um, yes!"
Ning Jiujiu and Lu Jianjian nodded at the same time.
"You guys... hum." Siming clenched his fists and sat down angrily.
"Okay, okay, I made a mistake when I was caught. If you want to be punished, you can be punished." Liu Xiwan lowered her head, her attitude of admitting her mistake was very insincere, "But I have a request, that is... Can the second senior sister also be punished? "
"Huh?" Ning Jiujiu asked doubtfully: "Aren't you and Liu Junzhuo sisters? What's the conflict again?"
Liu Xiwan said: "I was yelled at by you several times before, and laughed at by senior sister for less than half a month... I used to be able to complain to senior sister, but now senior sister can't control second senior sister anymore, Ning Changjiu, you have to control her. , otherwise this Jiange would have to be named Liu."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Junzhuo's voice came.
"Xiwan, what are you talking about?"
Liu Junzhuo, wearing a snow-white top and black skirt, stood at the door. She was wearing an ancient sword and a simple long ponytail, and her beautiful brows were very heroic.
"No... nothing." Liu Xiwan didn't expect the senior sister to come so early.
Liu Junzhuo looked at her and said helplessly: "So it was you who filed the complaint against Senior Sister?"
Even though Ning Jiujiu was willing to spare her, this Fourteenth Senior Sister had laid too many minefields for the gods to save.
Liu Junzhuo was not in a hurry to resolve his personal grudges. Instead, he sat down with Ning Changjiu and the others to chat about the current situation and some issues.
Ning Changjiu listened carefully.
Now Eighty-one City has been largely restored to its original shape, ensuring that every house has a house for the winter.
The speed at which monks build houses is unbelievable. After they clarify the drawings and structure, they use their spiritual thoughts to activate the materials. Driven by their spiritual thoughts, a house can be spliced together at high speed, just like how fast mortals can build houses. times.
In the past, ascetics almost acquiesced to escaping from the world, and only by being clear of distractions could they cultivate the Tao better. But now, many ascetics have begun to reflect on the relationship between practitioners and mortals, and think about whether they can, in addition to slaying demons and demons, Do more for the world.
Before that, it was unimaginable for a high-ranking ascetic to become a craftsman and help build a house.
The content of the battle to repair the world was also conveyed together with the magnificent stories of the Sword Master and the Saint. Although there are still many monks who are doubtful about this, and even simply think it is a conspiracy, but in any case, this is for the top monks in the world. , is a new path opened in the darkness, and most people are willing to believe it without their sacrifice.
"So, now we just have to wait for Master to repair the world?" Ning Jiujiu asked.
Liu Junzhuo nodded first, then took out a stack of paper and handed it over, saying: "These are the inner sects' inner sects of each major sect. When the world is restored, the inner sects will probably need to be repaired. Sword Pavilion disciples only practice swords and are not good at it. , I will trouble you then."
Ning Jiujiu took the thick stack of papers, flipped through a few pages one after another, nodded and said, "Well, leave it to me."
Liu Junzhuo looked at him and hesitated for a moment: "Thank you... Pavilion Master."
"This is what I should do." Ning Jiujiu put away the paper and said, "By the way, just call me by my name. We are friends, there is no need to be so symmetrical."
"Well, he's a gambling friend." Liu Xiwan on the side couldn't control her mouth and continued to seek death.
Liu Junzhuo glared at her, then turned his head and said: "It doesn't matter, the sword pavilion should have the rules of the sword pavilion. Since the master is passed down to you, you are our master and our pavilion master."
I would rather not force her for a long time.
He asked about the current situation of Jiange and the disciples' practice, and was relieved after learning that everything was fine.
"This is my first time back. Do you need me to do anything?" Ning asked for a long time.
Liu Junzhuo thought about Liu Xiwan's fabricated rumors, rubbed his forehead, and said, "No need, Master, just keep it a mystery."
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said, "The little girl named Luo Xiaopei has good qualifications and can be trained well."
Liu Junzhuo recalled for a moment and said: "I brought her back... Not long after the disaster happened, everyone was short of food. I saw that she was hungry, so I broke off the half of the steamed bun and gave it to her friend. She has a good heart and brought her here after getting her parents’ consent.”
Ning Jiujiu asked: "Such a good-natured and kind-hearted disciple is just used to look after the door?"
"Guard?" Liu Junzhuo was puzzled. Then she understood something and turned her head with an angry look on her face: "Liu Xiwan!"
Liu Xiwan was so frightened that she retreated to the wall, "I... I was just training her."
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said: "I won't disturb you sisters anymore. You can communicate well. I will revise these inner sect mental methods and hand them over to you."
Liu Junzhuo nodded and said politely, "Thank you, Master."
Liu Xiwan stared at Ning Jiujiu pitifully, and Ning Jiujiu looked at her with gloating, ignored her plea for help, and walked out, leaving her alone to face Liu Junzhuo's anger.
…
This is January, the winter cold is getting deeper, and the recent heavy snowfall is endless.
But because the Suzaku Divine Kingdom has not been opened, this month has been quiet.
On weekdays, Ning Changjiu would gather one to fourteen sword pavilion disciples and teach them all the swordsmanship they had learned throughout their lives. At first Zhou Zhenyue was not used to the sudden appearance of this new pavilion master, her old enemy, but Ning Jiujiu had a very good attitude and had no airs about them. After a few days, Zhou Zhenyue got used to it a lot, and even asked Liu Junzhuo to go find him privately. , apologize to him.
Ning Jiujiu also met with several sect leaders of the Eight Divine Sects, and while dispelling their doubts, he also elaborated on their future plans.
The collapse of the Red Line Divine Kingdom was seen by everyone before, and the next head of Ming Xiong should be the best proof that the era of the Divine Kingdom is over.
In the remaining time, Ning Jiujiu and Si Ming Lu Jianjiu went to seal off the mountain and look for the remaining swords. Ning Jiujiu did not rest during the journey, and was constantly revising the mental methods of each major sect.
In mid-to-late January, all sixty-four mountains were sealed off, and all scattered swords were recovered.
Because Jiange is located in the middle, it only takes an hour to reach the farthest of the sixty-four peaks. When the Ming Xie Divine Kingdom opens, Xiang'er can use the power of three thousand worlds to reach the peak immediately and contain Ming Xie, and they can also arrive immediately and kill him.
Everything still seems to be planned.
The end of January is New Year's Eve. Ning Jiujiu compared the revised mental method with the 'real world' in the sea of consciousness, and then asked Liu Junzhuo to send them back to the major sects one by one.
The real world in the sea of consciousness was given to him by the poem during the calamity of the inner demon.
Ning Jiujiu didn't know the meaning at that time, but now he understands that this is the 'truth' preserved by the poem.
That night, fireworks were brilliant outside the newly built Eighty-one City, and people on the brightly lit streets rejoiced that the disaster was over and prayed for peace in the coming year.
Ning Changchun, Lu Marry, and Si Ming sat on a high building together, overlooking the lights of thousands of houses, recalling the years of watching fireworks in Yishang Street last year.
Liu Xiwan came up with a big can of wine, and Liu Junzhuo followed her, smiling and saying that she would invite everyone to drink together.
Ning didn't drink for a long time.
He closed his eyes, his sea of consciousness locked on all the peaks, quietly waiting for midnight, waiting for the opening of the Minghui Divine Kingdom.
Midnight has arrived.
Everyone knew what was going on, so they also became quiet and looked at him together.
Ning Jiujiu opened his eyes and gradually pursed his lips, like a knife blade.
The step-by-step plan went awry for the first time!
The Suzaku Month has passed, and the Kingdom of Hell has been opened. On the sixty-four peaks connected by the Consciousness Sea, the talismans were quiet, and there were no traces of the opening of the Nethergod Divine Kingdom.
