It was windy and snowy, and a lifeless stone hung high in the sky. At this moment, only a sword star at a very high place was shining steadily, which was the one that Ning Xiaoling had lit up before.
The girl was holding her sword, her cloth shoes half sunk in the snow. She watched Ning Changjiu walking past her, and she clenched her fists nervously.
Lu Marian looked at the simple sword armor holding a sword in the light field, and reminded her loudly: "Xiao Ling, this light field can only last for a limited time, so don't delay it for too long."
Ning Xiaoling looked at her senior brother and agreed, "I understand, Master."
Lu Marry sighed and her eyes fell on Ning Changjiu.
The young man in white clothes with long hair was walking forward rustlingly through the snow. He glanced at the star stone closest to Ning Xiaoling's sword star, estimated the distance in his mind, and then untied the wood. He squatted down and began to take out the firewood one by one.
Ning Xiaoling muttered in her heart: "Senior brother... what are you doing?"
Lu Marry watched as he placed the largest pieces of wood at the bottom, and then piled them into orderly wood piles in order of size. In order to burn better, the middle of the wood pile was elevated.
After Ning Jiujiu simply finished these things, he turned back to look at Lu Marian and said in his mouth: "Master, can you lend me your hairpin?"
Lu Marry frowned: "What did you say?"
Ning Jiujiu repeated seriously: "Master, please lend me a hairpin."
Lu Marry confirmed that she heard correctly and asked: "Why do you want to send a hairpin? Could it be..."
Lu Marian usually wears a spotless sword attire, an ink ring around her waist, a jade crown and a silver hairpin, and a simple and famous sword. Such a fairy-like appearance, slim and cold, is the disciples. I have the image of the peak master in my heart.
But few people know that her hairpin is also one of her flying swords.
The hairpin is forged from silver mixed with other metals. It is flexible and hard. If the fairy sword Minglan is not at your side, this silver hairpin can also be used as a flying sword. However, it is too small and difficult to control precisely because of its weight. Because of this, the lethality is also insufficient, so we can only use tricks secretly.
Lu Marry said: "The silver hairpin is smaller and lighter than ordinary swords. Even people with poor spiritual power can control it to the sword star. But even so, the sword fire ignited by the size of the silver hairpin is absolutely It’s not enough to light up the sword star, so if you want to be so tricky, you might as well skip it.”
Ning Jiujiu said stubbornly: "That's not the case. I sincerely ask Master to lend me the hairpin."
Lu Marian asked: "Don't you claim to be well prepared?"
Ning Jiujiu looked at her silently, as if saying that this is also one of my preparations...
Lu Marian snorted coldly, thinking that if you really dare to fail in pointing the stars, then don't even think about having a good year this year!
"Can."
Lu Marry hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand.
The sleeves of her robe slid down smoothly, revealing her flawless white wrists. She put her hands on her long cloud-like hair, held down the jade crown with one hand, and gently pulled out the silver hairpin with the other. The hairpin slipped between the black buns. , after the hands that fixed her long hair were released, the high ponytail spread out, and the green silk shawl spread on the fragrant shoulders and jade back. And she turned her wrist, and the jade hosta came out like a small flying sword, hovering in Ning. An inch in front of the long eyebrows.
Ning Chang raised his hand to take the silver hairpin without changing his expression, and said his thanks respectfully.
This scene fell into the eyes of the disciples under the snow cliff, and their eyes suddenly boiled. Many male disciples' hearts seemed to have stopped for a moment when they saw the cool and stunning master's hair falling like a waterfall.
Some disciples said plausibly: "Who dares to say that Junior Brother Jiu Jiu is useless? Isn't this an outstanding contribution?"
"Yeah! What senior brother said is absolutely..."
Before the other male disciples could respond, they heard a snap, and the disciple who spoke excitedly trembled, and quickly grabbed his wrist, shouting in pain, and saw a red mark on the palm of his hand.
"Master, I was wrong..."
The rest of the disciples were silent for a moment, only daring to snicker secretly, and expressed their emotion that the master is truly unparalleled.
When Lerou saw her master untying her long hair, she subconsciously held her heart with both hands. She was so excited that she burst into tears. In her heart, she had been looking forward to her master entering the Purple Garden Realm. Become the legitimate peak master, then crush the four peaks with your sword, inherit the sect master's inheritance, and become an unparalleled female swordsman in the world.
This expectation is even greater than the expectation of breaking through.
At this moment, when Ning Jiujiu turned around and used his spiritual energy to control the silver hairpin, aiming at the sword star and flying away, everyone slowly came back to their senses and remembered that the protagonist at this moment should be the outer disciple.
I wonder what he wants to do after taking Master's silver hairpin
If he is still trying to be mysterious, then even Ning Xiaoling probably won't be able to protect him.
In the midst of various thoughts, the silver hairpin slowly rose into the sky like a small boat against the current, flying steadily towards the sword star.
Connecting such a long distance with sword fire is extremely consuming of spiritual energy. If you can directly control a small flying sword to fly to the sword star, almost all the disciples present can do it. But across such a long distance, even if you can urge Emitting sword fire is extremely limited. Let alone lighting the sword star, what does Ning Changjiu want to do
Lerou crossed her arms across her chest and guessed: "He may just not understand cultivation, so he came up with this opportunistic method. When he sends the sword up later, he finds that he can't ignite the sword fire at all. His expression must be wonderful. extremely!"
Xu Weiran retorted: "Junior brother should not be so stupid."
Yun Ze stretched out and said with a smile: "I think it's better to build a bonfire and dance. Maybe it will attract thunder from the sky and let the thunder and fire hit the sword star..."
Xu Weiran smiled and said: "We are all disciples of the same sect, there is no need to be so sarcastic."
Amidst the conversation, the silver hairpin has arrived at Sword Star. If it weren't for the shimmer of spiritual energy attached to the silver hairpin, it would be difficult to see it with the naked eye at this moment.
On the snowy plain, the light field was slowly fading, and Lu Jiejiao said: "Xiao Ling, have you recovered?"
"Ah." Ning Xiaoling had been looking up at the silver hairpin that flew away. At this moment, Lu Marian said, and she suddenly came back to her senses. She looked at the iron armor made of the sword intention in the field of light, and was deeply moved. He took a deep breath.
Lu Marian reminded: "That sword armor can only exist in the light realm. If you feel that you are invincible, just exit the light realm. Although the sword inheritance is very precious, it is by no means something that must be fought for." , no need to force it.”
Ning Xiaoling had lost too much spiritual energy in order to light up the sword star. Lu Marian looked at her pale face and was very worried.
Ning Xiaoling nodded vigorously: "Xiaoling knows."
As she spoke, she took out a few spiritual fruits from her arms and started to nibble on them.
"Senior brother...are you really okay?" Ning Xiaoling still looked at him worriedly.
Ning Jiujiu replied simply that it was okay, and stared at the sword star intently. He controlled the silver hairpin with his spiritual energy and poked the star repeatedly.
The disciples under the snow cliff looked bored, wondering whether you found that the distance was too far to light the sword fire, and wanted to use this to relieve the embarrassment, or did you want to simply... use diamonds to make fire
Lu Marry, on the other hand, looked a little solemn. She could vaguely see that every time Ning Jiujiu took out his hairpin, he would leave traces on the slightly weathered surface of the sword star. Those traces seemed to follow some strange trajectory. .
Ning Xiaoling's cheeks were still bulging because she ate too fast. She chewed hard, swallowed it in one gulp, grabbed a handful of snow and wiped the corners of her mouth, then held the sword in her hand and walked towards the field of light. .
"Xiao Ling..." Lu Jianjian hesitated, she was surprised at first, then the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
In the light field, the battle ended very quickly.
After Ning Xiaoling entered the light realm, her whole body's spiritual power was instantly activated, her body jumped like a snow fox, and the sword in her hand also ignited its light again.
When the sword armor raised the iron sword like a token, Ning Xiaoling's figure was like a handful of exploding snowflakes, dancing rapidly in the wind, and the sword in her hand also dragged out lines of fire one after another.
In the time between a few rabbits and falcons, the sword armor only took one strike. Ning Xiaoling had already slashed dozens of swords around his side. Each sword was filled with light and fire, like a hammer. The nails were chiseled, making the sword, armor and scales tremble.
After dozens of collisions, the sword armor shed countless scales.
After several more exchanges of lightning and flint, Ning Xiaoling's body suddenly froze, she bent her knees and exerted her strength, then jumped up high, lit the fire with her sword, and swung her sword down in the gap between the sword and armor in a beheading gesture. .
The sound of broken jade suddenly sounded, and the long sword had cut into the snow. The sword armor behind him shattered and turned into light dust and dispersed, leaving only an ancient sword intention lingering around Ning Xiaoling's body.
Everyone under the snow cliff looked at her in surprise. Everything happened so fast that they didn't even have time to reflect on it. Ning Xiaoling had already broken out of her armor.
Lu Marry smiled and said: "If Xiao Ling has just entered the Immortal Realm, how can it be so strenuous to light the sword fire?"
The words woke everyone up, and everyone realized that when Ning Xiaoling ate the spiritual fruit, she took advantage of the situation and broke through the situation.
Of course, a few spirit fruits are not enough to have such power. All explanations can only be that Ning Xiaoling had the ability to break through the realm a long time ago, but he suppressed it for a long time and did not reveal it until just now.
It turns out that she has been hiding her clumsiness.
"Is the innate spirit really so magical?" Lerou said in confusion, then she was silent for a while, then quietly turned around and walked towards the inner peak.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Ning Xiaoling, but no one noticed her.
Yun Ze turned sideways and said, "Junior sister Lerou, how long have you been ignoring Ning?"
Lerou said coldly: "What's there to see? You go and coax Ning Xiaoling from now on. She is much better than me. After two months of traveling to the fairyland, this... is this still a human being..."
At this moment, Ning Jiujiu had taken back the silver hairpin and handed it back to Lu Marian.
Ning Xiaoling wiped the sweat from her forehead, raised her fist to him and said, "Brother, come on."
Ning Jiujiu smiled softly.
In full view of everyone, he raised the sword in his hand.
Spiritual power spurted out and fell on the sword body, stimulating the sword's essence and igniting the sword's fire.
Ning Changjiu's sword, starting from the central axis, also lit up with light at this moment, but it was far less hot and bright than Ning Xiaoling's.
"this… "
Xu Weiran glanced at the brightness of the sword fire, swayed slightly, as if losing his last ray of patience, turned around and walked in the direction Lerou left.
Many people in the field also showed disappointment.
Lerou glanced back, immediately turned her head away, and whispered: "I shouldn't have expected anything from you... You have escaped being teased so many times before, so it must be Ning Xiaoling who is helping you resolve it secretly, hum. , I am usually silly and cute to deceive Master, but there is so much scheming behind my back!"
Lu Marian looked at his sword and knew very well that with such intensity of sword fire, even if the sword star was put in front of his face, he would not be able to ignite it.
But Ning Jiujiu did not choose to light up the sword star.
He lowered the tip of his sword and used it as a pen to draw something around the fire. After finishing the drawing, he went to another flat area of snow and drew exactly the same pattern on the ground.
After doing this, Ning Changjiu came to the woodpile without expression and lit a bonfire in front of everyone.
The dry firewood was quickly ignited, and a crackling sound exploded in the pile.
"What does he want to do?"
Yun Ze rubbed his chin, extremely confused, hesitating whether to continue reading or to pursue Junior Sister Lerou. After all, this was a great opportunity to steal Junior Sister Lerou's heart...
Since Ning Xiaoling defeated Jian Jia, many disciples in the peak have lost interest. Now seeing Ning Jiujiu making a fire for a long time, they feel that he is insulting everyone's intelligence. Disciples have left Xue one after another. Ping, and those who stayed did not have any expectations, they just wanted to see what kind of embarrassing scene he was going to perform.
On the snow cliff, Ning Changchun was dressed in white, waving his fingers and drawing something mysteriously in mid-air.
The sound of discussion started to sound low.
next moment.
Lerou, who was about to enter the inner peak, suddenly felt a light coming from behind her.
She turned around hesitantly, and then her eyes were illuminated white.
A sword star lit up, just like before, illuminating everything as bright as day.
"This..." Le Rou raised her sleeves and covered her eyes. After the light faded, she stood there for a while, then stood on tiptoes and cast her eyes towards the snow cliff, searching for something quickly. Then she After seeing the steady brightness of the sword star, a beam of light was projected. In the light field, the heavily armored iron sword was like a vicissitudes of life.
Lerou stared directly at the sword armor.
This is not an illusion... Ning Jiujiu really lit up the Sword Star!
What exactly is going on
What happened in just a few breaths? Isn't Ning Jiujiu an outer disciple who has not even entered Xuan... The brightness of the sword fire just now cannot be faked... That pile of firewood... Lerou concentrated her mind and looked at the pile of firewood, eh
On the snow cliff, where the firewood pile used to be, there was a messy trace of burning, but the firewood that was originally burning had disappeared.
Then, something fell from the sky.
From the direction of the sword star, charred wood fell towards the snow cliff with a faint firelight and long gray smoke trails.
Lu Marry raised her head, looked at the wood that fell on the cliff, pursed her lips, opened her mouth slightly, and the doubts in her eyes illuminated by the sword star did not fade away at all.
The bonfire previously was lit with sword fire. It was a veritable sword fire. The moment the flames lit up, she thought that if there was a way to send this fire up, it might really be possible to ignite the sword star.
But why did the fire rise to the sky out of thin air in just a moment
What did this disciple who never allowed himself to worry about do
Lu Marry looked at the marks carved with the sword on the ground and suddenly understood.
"Formation?" Lu Jiaotou asked.
Ning Jiujiu nodded: "Xiao Fei Kong Formation."
He used a silver hairpin to draw the forward-drawing formation pattern of the Xiao Feikong Formation on the sword star, and then drew the exact same reverse-drawing formation pattern on the snow cliff. After the formation was activated, the two formations sensed remotely vibrated at the same frequency. A space channel was opened in a very short period of time, and the bonfire was sent to the Sword Star at an almost super-distance speed!
Sword and fire are like arrows, and realm is like a bow. Ning Changjiu's realm is not enough, and it is difficult to shoot arrows into the sky. So he chose to make a bow with his own hands, and the bones of that bow were the Xiao Feikong Formation that he was most familiar with.
The faint sounds of conversation on the snow cliff fell on the ears of the disciples.
"It seems... it's a formation?"
"Array? What array can do it? Although the level of teleportation arrays is not too high, it is extremely difficult to learn. How could he do it?"
"Could it be that he has been studying this in the library for the past two months?"
"It turns out it's a formation... Shameless! How can you go far with such a fancy way of cultivating Taoism?"
"It doesn't matter, lighting the sword star can be a trick, and defeating the sword armor can also be a trick, right?"
…
Ning Xiaoling looked at the bright star, rubbed her eyes, and couldn't help but smile.
"Senior brother is so awesome!" Ning Xiaoling looked at him with admiration and sincerely praised her. She no longer worried about whether senior brother could defeat Jian Jia. After all, senior brother had never let her down.
Ning Jiujiu didn't pay attention to those comments and looks.
He slowly walked to the edge of the light field, but did not step into it. He quietly looked at the dark color behind the iron armor. He raised his wrist, palm down, gathered his spiritual power, and skillfully condensed the dots of stars around him. Bright light.
"Move the armor!" Suddenly, Ning Jiujiu shouted softly, slid his fingers, and drew the small flying formation again, and those firefly-like lights really lit up in an instant.
Under the light field, there are also bright lights like fireflies flickering.
Before lighting the bonfire, he drew two formations on the snow cliff. One formation was destroyed after the Sword Star was lit. At this moment, the position of the light field cast by the Sword Star happened to cover the other formation!
The wind and snow shook.
Ning Jiujiu raised his feet and stepped into the field of light.
Where he was originally, a sword armor appeared out of thin air. Without the support of the light field, the sword armor was pale. He raised the sword in a daze, but it lost its driving power and slowly dissipated.
Ning Jiujiu turned around and watched the sword armor collapse and shatter into pieces, scattered like smoke and dust.
At this moment, the light field has not dissipated. On the cliff in the snowy night, he is the only one with dark hair and ancient silence, dressed in white and bathing in the starlight.
