The dust sea from the exploding stars is like a barrier between the sky and the earth. It is like a myth and legend being verified. The sky and the earth are divided into nine layers. The sunlight is reflected by the ashes floating in the sky and cannot reach the ground. The ground was dark and the temperature dropped sharply.
The aftermath of the meteorite explosion was still pushing forward at an unimaginable speed. The rolling embers were filled with high temperatures. There were no birds flying for thousands of miles. The noisy dust created a purgatory where no living thing could survive.
Not to mention the high altitude, the land thousands of miles away was swept away by the heat wave of the explosion. Fortunately, the center point of the explosion was the endless Mirror Lake...
The water in Mirror Lake has been boiled, and a large number of fish carcasses have emerged from the water.
Bai Zang's body covered in silver skirt emerged from the steaming lake. His snow-white body undulated slightly due to his breathing. Blood and silk were on it. The fish's white corpses floated to the side, looking like they were sprinkled in the water. petals.
That dragon roar was the last sound that Siming heard. Her consciousness finally gave out and there was no room for thinking. The sea of consciousness went black and she fell lightly into the temple. The Golden Crow Divine Kingdom collapsed at the same time and turned into ashes. It made a golden light and flew towards the clouds above.
Amidst the roar of the dragon, Bai Zang, who was unconscious, suddenly woke up, and his scattered silver eyes gathered together.
She recognized the dragon's roar.
Thousands of years ago, she heard such a sound...
At that time, she had not yet ascended the throne of God. In the northwest of the earth, there was a storm. She stood on the wasteland and witnessed red lightning falling from the sky. Then countless snakes and pythons rushed towards the lightning, as if they were hungry. Thousands of years of gluttony have seen a city full of feasts.
In the violent wind and rain, the smell of blood floated from a distance. Bai Zang knew that a fierce battle took place there. After that, an ancient and long dragon roar sounded, covering all the noisy sounds.
That dragon roar belongs to the new Dragon King.
It is... Lei Lao!
The God Lord of the Eternal Realm, the most powerful king of dragon life in existence, Lei Lao!
Bai Zang confirmed that he heard correctly.
But if the visitor is really Lei Lao, what exactly is going on? It will take another two months for the Dark Lord to pass by the Thunder Lao Star. Even if it accidentally lights up the Thunder Lao Star, it will still be two months later. Why has the Bai Zang Divine Kingdom just been destroyed and the Lei Lao Divine Kingdom has already begun? Already? Who lit the star
Bai Zang's first reaction was Ye Chan Palace. After all, in this battle to block the stars, Ye Chan Palace did not appear from beginning to end... But the dark master has not been truly driven away. Even if Ye Chan Palace has the means to reach the sky, it is impossible. Really reach the sky!
Bai Zang couldn't think of an answer for the time being.
She climbed out of Jinghu Lake and came to the shore. She looked at the figures of Lu Yueyou and Siming who had fallen on the ground. After confirming that they were still breathing, she sat between them. She didn't think about anything, just lying on the grass and raising her head. Look at the sky.
A huge black shadow appeared in the sea of clouds!
The black shadow moved at high speed in the clouds, its scales opened and closed, making a sound that only sounded when the shields hit each other. The long roar of the ancient dragon was like the majestic wind in the sky, echoing majestically. This seven-layer dust sea seemed to be its world, and when its body swayed, a huge scene of roiling seas and shaking five continents broke out. Lei Lao was already like this. Zhulong, the head of ten thousand dragons, should have been alive again during his lifetime. How terrifying is it
The Dragon King passed through the thick dust, and his ancient scales were not afraid of the high temperature, dancing gracefully and soaring into the sky.
Lei Lao found Ning Changjiu's soul.
More than three thousand years ago, Ning Chang'e was killed by Quan Fu in his last life as Yi, and his soul was stored in the eternal world of Lei Lao for two thousand years until Chang'e returned from the moon prison. Therefore, Lei Lao is extremely familiar with this divine soul.
Ning Jiujiu's soul floats in the clouds, like a butterfly with blazing wings.
The huge head of Lei Lao surrounds this divine soul.
The image of Leilao is similar to the description of dragons in ancient mythology. The difference is that Leilao has three heads!
Those were heads from three different ages.
The oldest head is in the middle, and the two next to it are the heads of young people and adults.
Its lantern-like golden giant eyes stared at Ning Jiujiu's broken soul, dragon's breath was spitting out of its nose, and a complex look flashed in its eyes.
It gave out the same majestic sigh.
In accordance with the promise with Ye Chan Palace, Lei Lao opened his huge mouth and swallowed Ning Jiujiu's soul into his body with the attitude of swallowing mountains and rivers. Then he broke through the clouds, rushed into the sky, and flew into the eternal world in the virtual realm. middle.
Ning Jiujiu once said when the Kingdom of Sin King collapsed, how I left is how I will return.
He was brought back from the eternal world by Ye Chan Palace, and now he is going back there to be resurrected again, but he doesn't know when he will wake up next time.
The dragon's roar disappeared into the sky.
Ye Changong brushed off the water mirror in front of her. Her appearance still didn't change much, but when she touched her cheek with her fingers, something moistened on her fingertips.
Zhao Xiang'er sat on the white clouds of the Three Thousand Worlds. There was still a peaceful scene of white clouds and cranes coming and going. She withdrew her gaze from a distance. The breeze blew across her cheek, but her legs swinging like a swing no longer swayed, and the girl's figure was as still as a statue.
The snow-feathered sparrow flew from afar across thousands of mountains and rivers.
She transformed into a snow kite, knelt down on one knee, and handed the letter to Zhao Xiang'er.
Zhao Xiang'er took the letter, opened it, and unfolded it.
…
'Xian'er, how are you doing lately
The flowers in Jiange's courtyard bloomed yesterday. I took the time to enjoy them, but I couldn't help but think of the past.
If it were the State of Zhao, the flowers would have bloomed earlier. I have always regretted that the three-year appointment could not last long. I have been having trouble sleeping and eating recently, and I often have the urge to come to the West to see you, but I have never dared to come because I know I can’t hide it from you. I just never thought that you would have already guessed what was going to happen in the future even before we met face to face. It’s okay, Xiang’er is really smart as ice and snow.
Sooner or later, the Dark Lord will throw a meteorite into the human world. I am not sure when it will be, but I guess it will be when the Bai Zang Divine Kingdom or the Quanlin Divine Kingdom are destroyed. There are no walls in the sky, only clouds and birds. Someone must take the human body. for walls to trap them in the sky.
This can be regarded as the first real confrontation with the dark master.
Xiang'er doesn't need to worry. Five hundred years ago, although everyone couldn't deduce this scene today, they were still prepared for death.
The eternal world will be my temporary sleep place, and the authority of life will reshape my body. Don’t worry that we will forget each other. The authority of dreams will be the anchor of my memory in this life... And when I am just having a dream, the dream After waking up, everything is like yesterday.
Master said I will sleep for eight years.
It has been six thousand years since we first stepped out of the sun. If we look at the continuation of the fire of civilization, it will be an unimaginably long time of 1.5 billion years. Compared with eight years, it seems like just a flick of the finger. moment, but I was still a little worried.
I like you and I like this world.
I also have some immature ideas about the authority of space. I thought about the infinity of Quanfu. Its infinity is composed of time and destiny. It is the infinity on a single world line. And back then, would Master join hands with you to create a new infinity using time and space? I did not go back to twelve years ago, but I jumped from one world line to another twelve years ago. In this world, I am living a completely different life.
Of course, this statement may be a bit incredible...
Over the years, I have been separated from Xiang'er frequently, but I have always been filled with concern and guilt. Although our previous reunion was short-lived, I will always remember Xiang'er's smile and the beauty of the Three Thousand Worlds.
See you in eight years. '
After the letter was folded, Zhao Xianger read it calmly and put it back into his sleeve. The wind blew from afar, carrying the intense heat waves in the sky and brushing away the black and white eyebrows.
"See you in eight years."
She waved to the distance, her phoenix skirt rolling in the clouds.
…
…
Lu Marry woke up from her dream. She straightened up, her chest rising and falling violently.
She turned her head and found that Siming was sleeping not far away. Siming couldn't tell whether he was asleep or unconscious, his brows were still slightly frowned.
Lu Yuai couldn't suppress her breathing. Her fingers got into her long hair and she held her head tightly with a splitting headache. She recalled the previous nightmare and turned her head to look to the right.
Bai Zang was sitting by the window, looking at the sparse light outside. In front of her was a folded, spotless scarf.
Bai Zang turned around, looked at Lu Marry, and said, "You're awake."
Lu Marry asked quickly: "How long will it take? Where is he...?"
Bai Zang looked at her quietly and didn't answer.
Lu Marry lowered her eyes slightly and her voice trembled: "I just had a nightmare. I dreamed of him... He was... ah!"
Lu Marion snorted miserably, holding her head in her hands against the quilt. In the nightmare just now, she saw stars falling, and Ning standing in the air for a long time, being smashed to pieces by a meteor...
Bai Zang could guess what she was dreaming about, and she said, "This is not a dream."
Lu Marry's hands stopped shaking. When she raised her head again, tears flowed from her eyes. Her eyes were filled with mist, empty and pale. She just looked at Bai Zang dullly, without any trace of anger.
Lu Marian stopped thinking, her body shivered with cold, her heart was throbbing uncontrollably, the young man with a gentle smile in her memory disappeared, and the endless sour feeling was like a cumulonimbus floating in the sea of consciousness.
She couldn't accept it and didn't dare to think about it. She didn't even get to experience the final separation of life and death...
Bai Zang looked at Lu Marry's almost collapsed state and said, "Don't worry, he's not dead."
Lu Marry did not move. After a while, she slowly raised her head and frowned, as if she was wondering if she was hearing something.
Bai Zang repeated: "He is not dead. In this world, the only one who can save Ning Jiujiu is the eternal world of Lei Lao. Now, the Kingdom of Lei Lao has been opened, and it has brought him back to the eternal world. If he does not leave, Unexpectedly, Chang'e is also in the eternal world at this moment."
Lu Marry didn't understand, the eternal world... that was Lei Lao's divine kingdom, Lei Lao...
"Have I... been in a coma for two months?" Lu Marian's heart trembled. Could it be that all of this happened two months ago
Bai Zang said: "No, you were unconscious for three days."
Lu Marian was even more confused: "What is going on?"
Bai Zang said: "Come to the window and look up."
Lu Marian staggered down from the couch. The woman's weak legs managed to gain some strength to support her body. She held the edge of the bed upright, walked to Bai Zang's side, and followed Bai Zang's fingers. Looking upward.
In the sky, countless monks were dispatched. They were responsible for driving the sea of dust to wild places to prevent it from covering the sun and falling into the human world.
This operation has lasted for three days and three nights.
There are still a lot of dust clouds floating in the sky, but the sky above the Jiange has been cleared by the monks. Looking up, you can see the sky.
"That is… "
Lu Marry immediately noticed that there seemed to be an extra star somewhere in the night sky.
Is that the Lei Lao Star...
Lu Yuanjian was puzzled when Bai Zang gave the answer: "That's Uranus."
She explained what happened at that time: "Ning Jiujiu blocked the meteor with his body, and his body was destroyed, leaving only his soul. Only Master and Lei Lao can save it. No one in the world can ignite the Lei Lao star, but on Uranus, The demon clan can do it! They are already free and have escaped the control of the dark master. The unsightly Lao Liu is on Uranus, and he should know about this plan."
Lu Marry vaguely understood.
The monsters on Uranus ignited the Thunder Lao Star and rescued Ning Jiujiu...
"What about the other person? Where is he now?" Lu Married asked.
Bai Zang said: "He should be sleeping."
Lu Marian's head hurt, and in the pain, she slowly regained consciousness. She recalled the parting scene. She asked him how long the deadline was, and he said eight years...
Eight years...
For a monk, eight years should be just a short period of time in life, but for Lu Jiaou at this moment, it feels like a long time that can't be seen at the end.
Ning Changjiu's previous life stopped at the age of twenty-eight.
Will we repeat the same mistakes in this life? Can they meet again
Lu Marry didn't have any confidence.
After she calmed down a little, she also sat down next to Bai Zang. They looked out the window together. In the strong wind that continued to blow, many trees were broken in the courtyard, and the petals fell cleanly and were piled up in a mess.
Only the scarf was folded squarely, like the snow that still refused to melt in late spring.
Time became extremely long.
…
The dust in the sky was gradually cleared. Some of it was cleared into the deep valleys of the wilderness, and some was filled into the sea. Many rivers were directly submerged, forming new land.
Two days later, Siming also woke up.
When she woke up, she saw Shao Xiaoli's red eyes at a glance.
Si Ming, like Lu Jiumei, felt a splitting headache, and it took a long time to calm down.
After learning that Siming was awake, Lu Married came in quickly with some decoction, and Siming learned the whole story from her.
"You want to make us happy... Humph, he has obviously lied to us again. I really want to tear his mouth apart." Siming's words were filled with resentment. She took the medicinal soup, stirred it gently with a porcelain spoon, and said, "I don't want to drink it. .”
Lu Marry was about to speak but stopped.
Shao Xiaoli forced a smile and said, "Just don't drink it if you don't want to. It's already so painful, why should I drink bitter medicine?"
Siming stretched out his hand and touched Xiao Li's face, then retracted it and squeezed it tightly.
Lu Married said: "Sister Xueci, don't be too sad, your husband is still alive... This time, he probably didn't lie to us."
Siming laughed at herself and said: "I have lived for more than a thousand years, and I don't know how many eight years I have spent. I am not married to a little girl like this. I feel that eight years is too long to live." "
Lu Marry pursed her lips and stared at her with reddish eyes.
Siming held Lu Wenwen's hand and said, "Okay, at least this time there is a time limit, not an endless wait, eight years... soon, Wenwen, don't cry."
As she comforted her like this, Lu Marian's tears fell unconsciously, and Shao Xiaoli on the side also began to wipe his eyes.
Xiao Li bit her lip and said, "When did Sister Si Ming become so gentle?"
Siming said: "I have always been gentle and kind..."
"Liar." Lu Marian said softly, then took the porcelain spoon and put the medicine to her lips. Her words were quite majestic: "Drink!"
Siming was surprisingly obedient and drank in small sips.
Lu Marian gritted her teeth slightly and said as gently as possible: "Yeah, let's not be too sad... Maybe he is sleeping peacefully now, dreaming of something."
Siming drank the medicine, but he seemed to be unable to say anything more because the medicine was bitter.
Shao Xiaoli sat upright, looked at them, pursed his lips tightly, stood up after a moment and said, "I'll cook for you."
Shao Xiaoli prepared the meal and everyone called Bai Zang to eat together.
Lu Marion and Siming took a few small tastes. Siming looked at Xiao Li and said uncertainly: "Did you add too much salt?"
Lu Yuemou chewed the rice grains and felt unspeakably bitter.
"Really? Xiaoli, try it..." Shao Xiaoli couldn't taste the food he made by himself.
Bai Zang said calmly: "The taste has not changed."
"That's it..." Siming responded softly.
With one word, the bitterness in Lu Marian's mouth disappeared. The rice was still fragrant and soft, but she couldn't work up her appetite.
Everyone fell silent again.
…
…
Ningjiu woke up.
He was in a low courtyard, which was full of dark mud houses. There was a door in front of it. The door was very old. Next to the door stood an extremely old woman.
Ning will remember this scene for a long time.
When he was in Yujian Tianzong, he once told Lu Jianjian about his previous life. The beginning of his previous life was in this pile of broken houses. Here, he was taken away by his second senior brother and brought back a huge amount of money along the way. .
Now, he's back here again.
Ning Jiujiu was not sure whether all this was an illusion, nor whether he was awake at the moment.
He looked at the old woman, who seemed to be guarding the door. He couldn't even tell whether she was asleep or dead.
There is silence.
After waiting for a long time, Ning Jiujiu finally heard the knock on the door.
The old woman woke up with a start and opened the door.
The door opened.
The soft moonlight fell into the courtyard. Ning Jiujiu looked at the girl standing at the door, as if he saw the shadow of the moon in the water.
The girl seemed to have given something like money to the old woman.
The old woman smiled happily.
"Let's go." The girl looked at Ning Changjiu and stretched out her hand.
Ning held her hand for a long time.
She led him out of this depressing courtyard and outside.
Everything is still as it was when the second senior brother led him through it.
The girl walked quietly beside him, her white gauze skirt woven like moonlight, swaying in the breeze in the alley... The girl's whole body seemed to be made of moonlight, only her eyebrows and hair were as dark as the eternal night. .
"Master." Ning Jiujiu said softly.
The person leading him was Ye Changong.
Ye Changong still looks like a young girl, with a youthful face, delicate bones, and a clear and ethereal beauty that is difficult to describe in words.
"Um."
She responded softly.
Ning Jiujiu remembered the scene before falling asleep.
No, it was not before falling asleep. He could clearly know that he was still sleeping at this moment. This was because the master was connected to him through dreams.
He recalled the scene of the meteor falling.
The stars exploded in front of his eyes, like flowers woven by flames, and his bones were also blown to pieces in the flames. Looking back at this moment, he could still feel the heart-breaking phantom pain... At the end of his memory, he vaguely heard a sound. Dragon roars.
"Did I stop the meteor? Is the world okay?" Ning Jiujiu asked.
"Everything is fine, don't worry." Ye Changong's words were as calm and gentle as ever, as if the most restless flames would be smoothed into sea water by her words.
Ning Changjiu's mood became calmer.
Even though it was a dream, he could still feel the touch of his master's fingers, which was also indescribably soft, as if what was pulling him was not a person, but a spring breeze that turned thousands of times.
"Are we in the eternal world now?"
Ning Jiujiu looked at the intertwined stones like dragon's teeth in the town and asked.
Ye Changong nodded lightly, and she led him into the alley to the south.
There were three people standing in the alley as before, a young man, a middle-aged man, and an old man.
They watched in silence as they departed.
Ning Jiujiu didn't know their identities at first, but now he suddenly realized that these three people were the manifestations of the three heads of the God Lord Lei Lao.
They walked through the town together.
At the end of the town, Ye Changong stopped.
Ning Jiujiu walked to her side, stopped and stared, everything suddenly became clear in front of her.
It's a vast world.
This world doesn't look much different from the outside world, except that there are countless golden butterflies flying in it.
Ning Jiujiu opened his lunar eyes and looked at the past.
Countless golden butterflies were flying in the air, and many of them fell to the ground, as if they had died of old age. But not long after, they struggled to fly from the ground and floated into the sky again, vividly alive.
"Their life is like a rope, and death is like a pair of scissors to them, which will cut the rope in half. But after cutting in half, the rope still exists, just shorter, and the next time they die , will cut this half of the rope in half again, and the rope of life will be cut in half, but no matter how many times it is cut, even if the rope is cut as small as dust, it will not disappear... Therefore, their lives are eternal. "." Ye Changong described this world and said: "This is the logic of life in the eternal world."
Ning listened to Master's words for a long time, imagined this bizarre world, and asked: "Where did these butterflies come from?"
Ye Changong said: "They are all souls. After the Sea of Reincarnation was closed, many souls turned into butterflies and came to the eternal world. They do not know spring and autumn, do not know warmth and coolness, do not know life and death. They can live forever, but for them, eternal life is not Pointless."
"What a ridiculous world..." Ning Jiujiu sighed softly: "Am I going to live here in the future?"
"Yes, we want to live here."
"us?"
"Well, I won't let you turn into a butterfly."
Ye Changong looked at the golden butterflies flying in the sky and said softly.
