In a voice that sounded like jade breaking from a clear spring, Ye Changong handed over the marriage certificate, and Ning Jiujiu took it.
He unfolded the marriage letter. The soft paper was like a newly picked petal, with the delicate fragrance of a girl still exuding on it. Ning Jiujiu unfolded the marriage letter, opening it like petals in bud, and the familiar handwriting on it came into view.
'Ye Chan Palace'.
Ning looked at these words for a long time, his fingers trembling slightly, and folded the marriage certificate again after a moment.
He looked at the master, smiled and said: "It is hard to disobey a master's order, so this disciple boldly accepted this marriage contract."
Ye Changong hummed.
The slightly raised corners of her lips slowly smoothed away. The smile at that moment was short, but it was touching enough.
The two sat facing each other in silence.
Ye Changong's elegant neck is slightly drooped, her long hair is flowing down, she is extremely quiet and beautiful.
Ning held the marriage certificate for a long time and looked at the bright moonlit girl in front of him. The hazy moonlight between the two was blown away by the invisible wind. The figure of Ye Chan Palace became clear at this moment, and the distance between them was like a tentacle. It's within reach, just get closer and you can leave everlasting footprints on the moon.
He felt that he should say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know where to start.
Ye Changong raised his head and looked at him quietly.
Time passed quietly between the two of them. In the blink of an eye, winter turned to spring, the grass withered and turned yellow, and it snowed again in the blink of an eye.
The life in the Immortal Realm has not changed anything because of this marriage letter. They still live peacefully in the eternal world, and they are still master and disciple.
They all thought that the other party would go further, but they all retreated in unison, returning to the original peace and beauty.
Over time, they didn't feel there was anything wrong with such a life.
Ning Changjiu would occasionally take out the marriage certificate and look at it, looking at the beautiful handwriting on it, and he would be lost in thought for a long time. At this time, Ye Changong would pretend not to see it and do other things calmly.
They were like a couple who had lived together for many years, silently maintaining a precious peace.
Ning Changjiu's clothes are also getting smaller and smaller.
He is getting younger and younger, and his appearance is getting more and more immature.
He was originally much taller than Ye Changong in the girl form, but now he is almost able to look at her level.
"Master, do we look like childhood sweethearts like we are now?"
Under the big tree in the courtyard, Ning Changjiu and Ye Changong were back to back, each reading a book. Ning Changjiu looked at the flying butterfly and suddenly asked.
Ye Changong recalled the past and said, "Are we more than childhood sweethearts?"
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said, "That's right."
Ye Changong said: "However, it is better for you to cherish this childhood sweetheart time. In a few days, I will become your sister."
Ning Changjiu smiled and sighed: "I really grew up healthily under the care of Master..."
Ye Changong said: "Actually, you are cuter when you are younger."
Ning Jiujiu was not willing to be outdone: "The younger master is also cuter."
Ye Changong thought for a while and said, "It seems that you haven't seen me grow up for thousands of years."
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said, "I've seen it before."
"when?"
"The end of the previous life... Even though it's just one side, it's enough to be remembered for a lifetime."
"That's it..." Ye Changong pursed his lips and looked at Ye above with a long look.
Ning Jiujiu said: "I don't mean to seek revenge when I say this. Master, don't think too much about it."
Ye Changong said: "Your desire for revenge has long been obvious, and there is no need to defend yourself."
Ning Jiujiu smiled helplessly and said: "Master has really wronged this disciple."
Ye Changong also refused to give up and exposed his background, "Lu Jianwang punished you with a wooden ruler during the Yujian Tianzong period, and you were also beaten by Xiang'er in Linhe City. Well... and Si Ming, after that , which one of you didn’t retaliate one by one?”
Ning Jiujiu lowered his head in shame and said, "Master, are you ready for revenge?"
Ye Changong said: "As long as you dare, you can try it now?"
So Ning Jiujiu really gave it a try.
Then, he was slapped on the palm, pulled to the door of the Taoist temple and made to stand.
"Revenge requires sufficient strength." Ye Changong said, "This is the lesson I will teach you today."
Ning Jiujiu sighed: "When Master handed me the marriage certificate, he told me as gently as water, this is all yours. But to this day, Master is still like a little hedgehog."
Ye Changong was knocking the chess pieces idly and said, "The moon waxes and wanes, and this is difficult to do in ancient times."
…
It is a big dream in the eternal world, and the cold and heat in the human world come and go.
In the blink of an eye, four years have passed since the meteorite arrived.
Lu Marian discovered that the four years she and Ning Chang had known each other had been full of travels and ups and downs. It felt like every year was very long and they had experienced many things. But now, it has been another four years in the blink of an eye. These four years have been light and cloudy, just like the wind passing through the fingertips and the clouds passing through the eyes, fleeting.
It's summer again, and lotus flowers are blooming all over the Jiange Cave.
Lu Marion was boating alone, reminiscing about the past. Unknowingly, the sound of a sword suddenly sounded in her body. Lu Marry subconsciously stretched out her hand, and Wan Dao Sword Light was held in her hand.
When Lu Yuai came back to her senses, she realized that her level had reached a higher level.
She was sitting in the lotus boat and standing on the top of the five true mountains, which was the path of immortality.
Three months later, Siming also broke out of the barrier. Her heavenly monument had been written, and the content was still related to time.
It was late autumn, and they went to Gulingzong together to visit Ning Xiaoling.
Four years ago, when Ning Jiujiu came to the Ancient Spirit Sect with them, he informed Ning Xiaoling of the upcoming disaster caused by the meteorite through the power of Tongxin.
After they left, she cried for a long time.
Now, the young girl back then is already twenty-two years old, and she has become more and more beautiful. She is obviously the king of the ancient Netherworld country, but she has an outstanding celestial spirit.
When Siming and Lu married, they met Bai Zang returning with a folding knife.
Today, they have killed the number of spirit swallowers in the Ancient Spirit Sect to the agreed number, and have prepared a large amount of spiritual energy to feed to the spirit swallowers in the next few years.
Ning Xiaoling was in a good mood when she saw Master and Sister Siming coming, and took them for a tour of the ancient country. There are many more statues in the ancient country, all of them are statues of Ning Jiujiu. The entire Nether Ancient Country looks like a memorial hall.
Ning Xiaoling counted the days with them and talked about their future practice plans.
"By the way, Xiaoling." Lu Marian suddenly remembered something: "She told me something long ago."
Ning Xiaoling asked curiously: "What bad things did senior brother say about me again?"
Lu Marry said with a smile: "When you and Ning Changjiu returned to Linhe City, Lu Yuanbai asked you who was more beautiful, me or Xiang'er. Xiaoling replied, we are eight years apart, and we can't tell you until eight years later."
Ning Xiaoling's watery eyes widened, she bit her lips and said in surprise: "How come senior brother can remember everything?"
Lu Marian looked at her and said, "Xiao Ling, this year seems to be the eighth year."
"Yes, time flies so fast. In four years, senior brother will be back..." Ning Xiaoling said this, trying to get by.
Lu Marian said: "Xiao Ling, please answer quickly."
Si Ming watched the play with great interest.
Just as Ning Xiaoling had finished typing up a large article praising her master, Siming interrupted: "What's the point of saying it now? Xiaoling can answer it later when Zhao Xiang'er is here."
Lu Marian accepted her proposal and said, "That's fine."
Ning Xiaoling was very aggrieved and had no choice but to glare at her, hoping in her heart that her senior brother would come back soon and punish the bad woman.
Ning Xiaoling puffed up her face, and after a while, asked again: "By the way, has master returned to the Sword Sect in recent years? How is the development of our sect?"
"I answered." Lu Jianjiao replied: "Of course the Yujian Tianzong is prosperous. Now there are several ascetics in the Ziting Tower, and two peak masters have successfully broken through the five realms."
"Two peak masters..." Ning Xiaoling asked: "Uncle Lu won't break through, right?"
Lu Marian said with a smile: "Yes, your Uncle Lu was not only broke, but he also got married last year."
Ning Xiaoling's eyes widened: "Did Uncle Lu get married to that... senior sister with that Feng's name? Ah, it's really not in vain that Uncle Lu worked hard for many years and stalked her until they finally got married. "
Lu Marry interrupted Ning Xiaoling's sigh: "No, it's with Peak Master Xue."
Ning Xiaoling was stunned. After a moment, she gave a thumbs up and said sincerely: "Xiaoling still underestimates Uncle Lu."
The three of them were walking in the Netherworld Ancient Kingdom, chatting about interesting things that had happened over the years.
Bai Zang followed them, with his arms folded across his chest, tied with a scarf, and holding the ancient blade Shen Tu. He said nothing, only keeping a distance from Siming, as if he was disdainful of their chatter.
Bai Zang is neither optimistic nor pessimistic about the decisive battle four years later. She just follows the nature of a tiger and wants to challenge the strong and the stronger...
There are four remaining divine kingdoms today: Quanlin, Leilao, Zhuque, and Tishan.
Bai Zang always felt that the two divine kingdoms of Quanlin and Tishan were always hidden dangers hanging in the air and would become variables.
It's a pity that the previous ignition of the Thunder Lao Star must have exhausted the power of the Uranus demons. Four years later, they still have no ability to ignite the other two stars to avoid future troubles.
They lived in the ancient Netherland country for a while, and it was already covered with snow when they came out.
After a brief reunion and a long separation, they returned to Jiange and began the next round of retreat. The next time they came out of retreat, they didn't know when it would be.
Bai Zang did not go with them.
Four years ago, Bai Zang had gained her freedom. Now that she had finished killing her soul and had done what she had agreed with Chang'e, she was thinking about doing something she really wanted to do.
"You really want to go?"
Before leaving, Siming looked at Bai Zang with a worried look on his face, as if he wanted to advise him
Just now, Bai Zang said that he wanted to go to the Three Thousand Worlds and challenge Zhao Xiang'er.
Bai Zang said: "In today's world, Ning will sleep in the Kingdom of God for a long time, and Chang'e will also disappear. I want to find a place to sharpen my sword, and when I look up, there is only Xihe."
Siming said: "Do you think you are her opponent?"
Bai Zang shook his head and said, "It's precisely because I don't know that I want to try it."
Siming smiled lightly and warned: "You can break into the dragon's pond and tiger's den, but you can't go to the three thousand worlds. Little white cat, you have to think clearly."
Bai Zang asked: "Is she really strong?"
Siming thought for a moment and said, "Ning Jiujiu will never be her opponent."
The girl with snowy hair and silver skirt frowned, as if she didn't believe it.
Lu Marry also said: "Ning Jiujiu fought with Zhao Xiang'er all night, but Ning Jiujiu was defeated and couldn't stay for a day."
"You defeated Ning Jiujiu in just one night..." Bai Zang sighed sincerely: "So strong."
"So Miss Bai, it's better to be careful." Lu Jianjian also advised based on the principle of peace being the most important.
Bai Zang did have some intention of quitting, but during these four boring years of soul-slaying, she watched the ferocious soul-devourers being killed easily by herself, and the clear sound between the blades told her of her tiredness. She always wanted to So, after slaying the spirit, you must find a truly powerful opponent to ask the sword.
Bai Zang's mind was slightly confused, and her snowy hair suddenly danced wildly, but the famous sword Shen Tu in her arms let out a clear groan.
Amidst the sound of the sword, Bai Zang gave up the slightest hint of retreat and his heart became calm.
"Back then, Huanghe Longque could defeat her, why couldn't I?" Bai Zang said firmly, "I have decided to leave."
Siming and Lu Marian looked at each other, smiled helplessly, and stopped trying to dissuade them.
Bai Zang hugged the ancient sword Shen Tu and headed to the Three Thousand Worlds alone.
It's snowing heavily.
What Bai Zang asked for was a fair fight, and Zhao Xiang'er gave her fairness, without using the authority of the Three Thousand Worlds to fight a war outside the West.
Lu Marion and Siming didn't know the specific circumstances of that battle. They only heard that the boundary of the heavy snow in the middle of winter this year was pushed back tens of thousands of miles because of their battle. In the sky, it was like day and night. The sound of phoenixes chirping and tigers roaring.
The unparalleled battle did not really end until the winter snow melted.
In the end, there was a little white tiger in the Three Thousand Worlds, and the little white tiger also had a mistress.
…
"Would you be happier if Zhao Xianger stayed with you for eight years?"
In the eternal world, Ye Changong asked.
Ning Changjiu is getting younger and younger, and his delicate features have become more childish, but his eyes still have a calmness that far exceeds his age.
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said: "Master, are you trying to kill your disciple?"
Ye Changong said: "Four or five thousand years ago, when the ancient kingdom of the sun was still there, Xi and Xiaoniaoyi were very obedient. Why can't you control her now?"
Ning Changjiu smiled and asked, "Isn't it embarrassing that you can't control Xiang'er?"
Ye Changong looked at him, shook his head and said, "The master is unfortunate."
"Then Master wants to help his disciples stand out?"
"Xian'er punishes evil and eliminates evil. Everything he does is a good deed. Why should I help you?"
"... What a dear master."
Today, they were taking a walk in the forest, and golden leaves fell from the sky and whirled to the ground.
Beyond this forest is a sea of flowers.
The sea of flowers is blooming, and Ye Chan Palace stands in the middle, with eyebrows as clear as snow and gauze skirts swaying.
"It seems we have been here before." Ning Jiujiu looked around and said.
"Well, we have been here." Ye Changong said, "We have walked through the eternal world."
"Then settle here." Ning Jiujiu said.
"Okay." Ye Changong replied simply.
The invisibility falls outside the sea of flowers, misty and out of the dust.
Ning Changjiu and Ye Changong returned to the invisible world.
"These days, I'm getting more and more sleepy." Ning Jiujiu closed his eyes and said, "Master...am I going to turn into a butterfly?"
Ye Changong lowered her head slightly, seeming a little sad, and she said softly: "It might be a little deer."
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said: "Master, what do you want me to become more?"
Ye Changong said: "I hope you won't change anything."
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, the power of the dream lingering at her fingertips.
Ning held her hand for a long time and shook his head, "No need."
Ye Changong looked at him, still hesitant.
Ning Jiujiu said: "Master, do you dare to disobey me?"
If Ning Jiujiu talks like this in normal times, he will inevitably be served by a ruler.
But today, this little hedgehog master was particularly docile. She listened to Ning Changjiu's gentle words, her nose slightly shrunk, and she said softly: "Well, master... be obedient."
Ning Jiujiu smiled and closed his eyes, his eyelids getting heavier and heavier.
Ye Changong looked at him quietly. She sat next to him and watched Ning Changjiu sleep slowly.
After a slight hesitation, Ye Changong actually gently lifted a corner of the quilt, and her petite body got in, like the moon in the clouds.
Ning Jiujiu still had some consciousness, and he said softly: "This... is not good."
Ye Changong said: "You are a child now. When you were a child, you didn't have bad intentions."
"Will I be bad when I grow up?" Ning Jiujiu asked, pretending to be ignorant.
"You'll know when you grow up." Ye Changong was also very cooperative.
"Well, I want to marry the master when I grow up." Ning Jiujiu said.
"You... are so bad." Ye Changong said.
Ning Jiujiu smiled and closed his eyes gently.
Ye Changong looked at Chi Chi's cheek, gently stretched out his hand to touch him, and then slowly retracted it.
She also closed her eyes, and her slightly stiff body relaxed little by little. Then, her body slowly curled up, her calves bent, her hands clenched in fists on her chest, and she slowly fell asleep quietly.
Just go to sleep.
For a long time in the following days, Ning Jiujiu needed to sleep for a long time.
He could no longer tell the passage of time. When he woke up occasionally, the first thing he saw was always the peaceful sleeping face of Ye Changong. They were obviously very close to each other, and the girl was obviously extremely beautiful, but Ning Changjiu still had no feeling in his heart. There is a sense of ambiguity, and I just feel warm and peaceful, as if these days have passed for thousands of years.
He is like a stone by the water, always sleeping on his head by the stream.
Time flies.
Ning Changjiu's clothes are getting smaller and smaller, and his appearance is becoming more and more childish.
When they were reading together under the tree, the scene was like a female teacher teaching a child who had just become wise. This child was obviously very disobedient and often fell asleep. Under the big tree, Ning Changjiu often lay down gently in Ye Chan Palace. On her legs, pillowed on a soft jade gauze skirt, she gradually fell asleep.
Ye Changong stroked his hair quietly, as if comforting a cat that was sleeping on her lap in the afternoon.
Golden butterflies fly across the sky.
"I am cold."
Ye Changong looked at him and said softly.
Ning Ning was in a dream for a long time and didn't realize it.
…
"When will the next time we meet?"
Ning Changjiu asked in a childish voice. He was white and tender, and looked like he had some baby fat.
"We have never left, how can we meet again?" Ye Changong answered him.
Ning Jiujiu laughed.
He knew that a long, long time had passed.
The years that he once thought were extremely difficult to endure slipped away in such an inadvertent way. There were no four seasons telling him the time, only his smaller body telling him the rotation from season to season.
"Well, we never left."
Ning Jiujiu showed an innocent smile.
Over the years, he accepted the marriage certificate, and when he was with Ye Changong, sometimes he was like a friendly master and apprentice, sometimes like a harmonious couple. The occasional quarrels ended in Ning Changjiu's defeat.
Their emotions and tacit understanding are enviable, but Ning Jiujiu has never tried to take the final step.
They obviously often slept together on the bed, breathing each other's breath, and their lips were close to each other, but they never did anything charming.
"Ye... Chan Palace."
It was the first time that Ning Jiujiu really called her name.
"Yes." Ye Changong responded.
"Chan Palace..."
"Um."
"Next time, let's meet in the Toad Palace." Ning Jiujiu said: "Before, you told me that no matter where you stand in the world, you can only see six out of ten moons, and the moon always has a dark side facing it. Human world…”
"That dark side is very cold... very cold." Ye Changong said softly.
That is also her dark side, this is the coldness in her bones. Although she often hides it deliberately, how can she hide it
"I want to take a look at the dark side. I want to see what Master is really all about." Ning Jiujiu said.
"Okay, we will go after you wake up." Ye Changong said softly.
Ning Jiujiu looked like a child pestering his sister for an outing, and said: "I also want to go to the Death Star Territory."
"Death Star Territory..."
"Well, I heard that there are still hidden things left by the first generation of civilization 1.5 billion years ago."
"The last thing left behind... what will they leave behind?"
"It must be something beautiful." Ning Changjiu said gently.
"Why?" Ye Changong asked.
"Because we were born to pass on the beauty that spans the years..."
Ning Jiujiu smiled sincerely, and Ye Changong's soft face blurred in front of his eyes.
"I... it's so cold." Ning Jiujiu said.
Ye Changong hugged him gently and buried him in her soft embrace.
Ning closed his eyes for a long time.
Suddenly, Ning Changjiu's figure was gone, replaced by Yoyo Luming.
The golden deer has no patterns and is pure and beautiful.
The deer rubbed Ye Changong's arm affectionately, as if he wanted to remember her breath.
Ye Changong gently hugged the little deer and pressed his cheek against it.
The deer walked around her, as if signaling something.
Ye Changong understood.
She gently lifted up the hem of her snow-white skirt, sat on the deer, leaned down slightly, her chest pressed against the deer's beautiful curves, and her hands hugged the deer's neck.
The golden deer took her out of the darkness and ran towards the forest and the sea of flowers.
This is the world of eternal life, and it is also their eternal fantasy and magnificent dreamland.
…
This is the last year of the eight-year period.
The world has been peaceful for seven years. In these seven years, the entire world has undergone earth-shaking changes.
The number of practitioners of the Five Paths in Middle-earth has increased several times, and they are already as glorious as five hundred years ago.
These monks come to Jiange together every year to express their blessings to the sleeping hero. Compared with the pessimism seven years ago, today's monks are full of confidence and belief, vowing to prevent the tragedy of that year from happening again. We will pass on the torch and burn the brilliant flame together, completely erasing the dark shadow in the sky.
This is the last year, but it is also where the final change occurs.
In the early morning, Ning Xiaoling was awakened by an earthquake.
She didn't know what happened, she just felt something awakening.
In the sky, there was a sudden explosion.
A black ancient python that looked like a belt hanging from the sky broke through the eggshell and swam toward the sky.
Before people had time to react, the black snake crossed the virtual realm and came to the saint's stone Buddha.
The saint's stone Buddha has been supported for seven years and is full of cracks, as if it will collapse at any time.
The black ancient python was wrapped around him, and on the head of the ancient python was an extremely coquettish face.
