Ning Ning had a dream when she fell into the crape myrtle realm.
The dream was blank, and there was only the extremely vague shadow of the young man. She couldn't see the face of that person, but only remembered the looming outline of the figure.
And when the magic cultivators came to her step by step from the deep rift valley, the person standing in the front gradually overlapped with what they saw in the dream.
Ning Ning didn't remember seeing him, but what was certain was that this person must have left an indelible impression on her subconscious.
—Because now, she dreams of him again.
Looking around, it was a desert with rolling yellow sand, and the devilish energy was attached to the curling white smoke. She sat side by side on the sand dune with the man, and when she looked up, she could see a lonely moon in the sky.
A gust of wind came hurriedly, and the man turned his head to look at her, his face still indistinct.
Ning Ning heard him say: "Look, this is the moon of... , every time I see it, I think... "
The sound of wind and countless noises filled his ears, covering up everything he said. Ning Ning heard it in a fog, and just wanted to shout in a destructive atmosphere: "The wind is too strong, I can't hear you clearly, what are you talking about?"
However, before he could say anything, he felt a chill all over his body and suddenly opened his eyes.
She had encountered magic cultivators in the Rift Valley before, and should be brought into their lair now.
Ning Ning tried to move her body, but found that her hands were bound by ropes. The material should be the famous immortal binding rope, so that she could not use any spiritual power.
Why are these people taking such pains to catch her
Can't figure it out.
As a young socialist young man who lives under the nourishment of ancient costume dramas, although Ning Ning will not attract all the young talents with a song "Song of Water", he is not called a tenth-level player of Gongdou. But in the end, I learned a very simple and practical experience-
Hide a pocket knife in your sleeve for emergencies.
For example, now, that metal contraband has become a god in her heart.
Ning Ning sat up crookedly from the ground, put an old monk into a pose, and looked around at the scene.
It seems that she should take back her previous words about the "demon clan's lair".
Because this place is really shabby.
It can't even be called a "house", it's just a cave made of sand and gravel. There are beds and various other furniture scattered around. It looks good, but it can't hide the cold nature of the place.
… What about the big, glittering palace she imagined in Bulling? How does this place look like a vernacular theater set in the 1980s? Ning Ning's head was a little dazed, and even the movement of cutting the rope with a knife subconsciously slowed down. In the silence, he suddenly heard a few footsteps outside the door.
That group of magic cultivators should be back.
The sound of footsteps was getting closer, she restrained her movements and looked up, and the first thing she saw was a white face.
The one who walked in the front was still the same young man as her dream figure.
This time, the lamp was lit in the cave, and through the flickering dim yellow light, Ning Ning finally saw what he looked like.
Completely different from the arrogant or frosty evil cultivator in his imagination, this person actually had a very well-behaved baby face, and the black round eyes were as soft as water, and he could not see the slightest aggression.
Ning Ning:…
Maybe, probably, maybe, this is a black lotus flower that is cut from white to black. It looks harmless to humans and animals, but it is actually cruel
When the boy noticed her straightforward gaze, he was stunned for a moment.
Then he actually blushed, hurriedly blinked his eyes, and said, "You, are you awake?"
Ning Ning:…
The little brother in front of him should indeed be a cute and charming villain, right? What about arrogance, indifference and contempt? It is also a fan-shaped statistical chart, why are you so different from other villains
"Lord."
A tall and strong man beside him said in a deep voice, "You shouldn't use such an attitude towards your opponent."
Lord.
Ning Ning's head exploded again.
No way, this shy little boy who looks weak and white is actually the new monarch of the Demon Realm
She has indeed heard that the talents of the demon clan are withered, and both the devil and the devil have been defeated in the war, but this, this, this is too "talent withered", isn't it
She seemed to understand a little bit why she couldn't see the magnificent and magnificent palace.
"She's a girl after all."
The young man smiled warmly, and when he turned to look at her, he was still a little embarrassed: "Miss Ningning, my name is Huo Qiao."
The plot was not going the way she thought it would be.
To be precise, very different.
Ning Ning nodded "uh" and tried to communicate with him normally: "Can I ask, what did you guys want to bring me here?"
Huo Qiao looked down at her, heard the words silent for a long time, but still said warmly, "It's to kill you."
Good, very good, said these four words without changing his face, and finally had the style of a demon.
He paused, as if he was considering his words, and hesitantly added: "You can hate us, and we will never let you go - if there is a begging for mercy, you don't need to say much."
This man is so strange.
Say he is ruthless, but he looks gentle and gentle. She has seen so many novels and TV series, but she has never seen such a talkative demon monarch.
It can be said that he is kind and soft-hearted, and what he said just now did not leave any way out, and made it clear that he wanted to put her to death.
He seemed to be just standing opposite to each other but equal to each other. He gave her enough respect and told her without any hesitation: "I will kill you."
With this young demon monarch's attitude, Ning Ning's nervousness subsided a lot for no reason. Hearing the words, he leaned against the wall and asked curiously, "Why do you specifically want to get rid of me?"
She is smart, she can vaguely guess something tricky, and she used a probing tone: "Because of Pei Ji?"
Huo Qiao answered non-committal questions and said, "When we kill you, we won't torture you, the girl doesn't need to be afraid."
- The word "kill you" alone is enough to make people afraid!
"Why does the lord have to talk so much nonsense with her?"
Someone disdainfully said: "Just because of the evil curse on her body, she will not live long. If we can give her a good time, it will be considered a good deed."
Ning Ning couldn't understand: "Curse? What curse?"
"There are many kinds of spells, we can only detect a little breath, we don't know the specific-"
Huo Qiao wanted to explain, but when he was talking, someone came in from the door and whispered beside the former.
Ning Ning couldn't understand the content, but the young man pursed his lips and smiled, and finally looked down at her: "I should go. Qingheng, stay here to guard."
A tall man nodded quietly.
"Wait wait! I have one last question!"
Seeing him turn around, Ning Ning quickly raised the volume: "The two of us, have we met before?"
Huo Qiao turned his head, a pair of dog's eyes were illuminated by the candlelight, like the waves of a lake.
"That's right," she always felt that this sentence was deliberately approaching, her voice was much lower, "Speaking of 'the moon tonight'... or something."
Huo Qiao looked at her quietly, suddenly raised his lips and smiled.
"We've never met."
The boy's voice was clear, and his smile slowly overflowed in the light: "But tonight is the fourteenth, the girl can look up at the sky later... The fourteenth moon is very beautiful."
=====
Huo Qiao left in a hurry, leaving only Ning Ning and a young man named "Qingheng" looking at each other.
She is still unclear about the strength of the demon camp, and everything is based on caution.
The ropes tied to his hands were gradually cut off. Ning Ning wanted to use his spiritual sense to test Qingheng's cultivation, but there was a buzzing sound in his mind.
It turned out to be the sound of the system.
[Qingheng is at the third level of Nascent Soul, and he will definitely be detected when he releases his consciousness. This person is good at using long swords, his weakness is in the lower abdomen, and he is not good at fast attack. ]
This sound came without warning. For Ning Ning, it was like seeing a dead man suddenly cheating and dancing to the third set of radio gymnastics in the country.
Before she could react, she heard its voice again: [While he is relaxed, immediately attack with the golden snake sword technique, don't hesitate. ]
This was the first time it made a sudden noise.
Ning Ning held her breath, restrained her consciousness, and quickly understood its purpose.
The devil's lair is full of murderous intentions, and the system does not want her to be buried here.
It's just... why does it know so much about this magic cultivator
This is not something to think about today.
Due to the existence of the immortal-binding rope, Qingheng didn't have much defense against her. Ning Ning listened to the system's instructions and drew his sword in a matter of seconds.
She was extremely fast, and before the man had time to pull out the long knife, he was shocked by the sword qi and lost consciousness.
In the next instant, the dry and cold system voice reappeared in my mind: [Go out and turn right at the first corner. ]
It seemed urgent, in an almost urging tone.
The cave where Ning Ning was located was actually underground, and when he left the cave entrance, he saw intricate and deep corridors.
The current situation was urgent, and she didn't have time to think too much about it, so she ran quickly according to the sound of the sound that sounded one after another.
[Turn right, enemy attack appears. ]
[Le Xiu, who is good at qin, attacks his right hand. ]
[Concentrating on his breath, he enters the secret passage from the sand formation on the left. There are masters of Nascent Soul guarding here, remember to hide their tracks. ]
"How do you know so much about this place?"
There are many murderous machines here, not only are the magic cultivators waiting in various places of extraordinary strength, but the fork in the road is even more dazzling. If she is alone, she will definitely not be able to escape even half the distance.
However, the system is very familiar with the magic repair and terrain in the sand cave, and it can be called the strongest golden finger in history.
Ning Ning ran wildly and asked it in a joking way: "Are you the so-called incarnation of the Tao of Heaven, or are you a demon who once lived here?"
Didn't get any response.
In other words, I got a response from a bull's head and a horse's mouth: [Jianxiu in the front, the weak point is in the back, use the Taiyi Sword Art to deal with him. ]
The "secret path" mentioned by the system is not far away, and there is a magic cultivator holding a sword beside it.
Ning Ning still used a surprise attack, the man reacted quickly, raised his hand and tried to counterattack, but was beaten and retreated.
The star-marked sword did not take a long time to point directly at the opponent's gate, but Ning Ning did not exert any force.
She looked a little embarrassed, her dark pupils were dark and unclear, she suppressed the sword qi overflowing from her body, and made a silent gesture.
"Quiet."
Ning Ning said, "I have two questions to ask you."
=====
The command of the system continues.
It has never spoken so much at one time, and the irritating, harsh mechanical sound made Ningning's brain dazed.
She escaped through the intricate underground sand cave through the secret passage. She thought that the warning sound was about to dissipate, but in the wind howling after the night, she suddenly heard a very familiar ding-dong sound.
This is the sound that only sounds when the system issues a task.
Ningning's first reaction was, isn't it right, according to the plot in the original book, has she ever acted as a demon here
The answer is definitely "no".
In the novel given by the system, this group of demon cultivators never appeared. The reason why they went to the desert was to experience demon slaying.
And the scenes of "Ning Ning" appearing are pitiful, and the whole article almost only appears in a few sentences, because—
The font in his mind gradually took shape, and Ning Ning could clearly see the sentence given by the system.
[Now that it's late at night, Sha Mei gangs up to attack him, covering the sky and the moon for a while, and the wind roars furiously.
Everyone tried their best to resist, Ning Ning was very frightened, and when he fled in horror, he didn't want to be swept away by the demonic energy and fell straight into the bottomless valley beside him! ]
[Ding dong! ]
[You know how to do it. ]
"Are you letting yourself go more and more?"
Ning Ning laughed coldly because of the last six words, looked up and saw a long mark on the ground not far away.
I thought that the reason why the system was so eager to help her was not only to indicate the path to escape from the sand cave, but also to lure her here on purpose.
The matter of falling into the valley really has nothing to do with the vicious female partner's demon behavior, but it shows unprecedented urgency, which shows that the significance of this matter is extraordinary.
The entangled thoughts in my mind slowly turned.
Ning Ning already understood that there was something hidden under the crevice.
[Go immediately to the bottom of the valley. ]
There is a gradually deepening labor pain in the brain, and the system's tone is extremely cold: [Immediately. ]
"This is the most critical step, right?"
Ning Ning walked forward and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will naturally do it."
The other party was very cold and did not respond.
She didn't care about it at all, and when she walked to the crevice of the valley, she drew her sword and unsheathed it, and the moment she stepped down with her right foot, she used her sword energy to drive the gusts of wind.
The sword's qi was full of energy, which greatly buffered the falling speed. The white light illuminated the pale cheeks of the girl, and Ning Ning clenched the long sword subconsciously.
The bottom is getting closer.
She felt the bloody wind around her and took a deep breath.
Ning Ning's original guess was simple and straightforward.
There is no so-called "travel", she is "Ning Ning" herself in this world, reborn over and over again in reincarnation, trying to change the end of death.
The first question she asked the magician was why he deliberately killed her.
The man trembled and told Ning Ning that the demons wanted to lure Pei Ji into the demons, thus breaking the two-meter dust formation, and her death was undoubtedly the best introduction.
According to this explanation, it seems to be understandable that the system may be just as Bai Wu said, it is a guide that she set in her head to avoid a dead end.
As long as she keeps acting like a monster and doesn't let Pei Ji have any feelings for her, this shock can be prevented.
But this logic doesn't make sense.
First, if she really reincarnated many times and had memories every time, how could she lose all her past impressions and remember nothing in this round.
The more memories, the more experience, the greater the chance of survival. If she is so confused now, she may be sent to the gate of hell by herself at some point.
What's more, there have been so many crises in the past, and the system has never reminded them, but has been vague and covered up all information related to magic cultivation.
In this way, it seems to be more inclined to stand on the side of the devil cultivator than the righteous cultivator.
Second, to stop this conspiracy, the method that can be used is actually very simple-
As long as the elders are informed of the changes in the demon world in advance, the Xianmen Sect will handle the matter, and Pei Ji will be placed in the Xuanxu Sword Sect. With the strength of that group of demons, it is impossible to cause any storms.
Third, when she abandoned Pei Ji and ran to Lingshu Xiancao in the secret realm of the Demon Refining Pagoda, she heard a sneer from the system very clearly.
There was disdain and contempt in that laughter, and if the system was really her own consciousness, she would never have reacted like that.
Fourth, the most important point.
Her identity as a transmigrator can never be fake.
He Zhizhou also came from the 21st century. If she had been born and raised in the world of self-cultivation, how could she have made up a world exactly like the one he lived in.
Computers, TVs, refrigerators, air conditioners, and air conditioners, clearly show things that were never imagined by the ancients.
Thinking of it this way, discarding this line of thinking leaves only one feasible explanation left.
She and the "Ning Ning" who had been reincarnated countless times before were fundamentally different people.
The gap in the valley was deep, and the white light shot out like a spark. Ning Ning restrained his sword energy and landed on his toes.
She smelled the strong smell of dust and walked slowly under the sword light.
At that time, in the Ziwei Realm, the sword spirit that turned into a white mist told her that something suddenly appeared in her body, which might help her survive the calamity.
Ning Ning took it for granted at the time that the other party was referring to the system in her mind.
But she overlooked a very important factor.
Sword Spirit naturally cannot sense the so-called "system", what she can sense is only everyone's consciousness.
Since there is "one more", then there are two people's consciousness hidden in her body.
Ning Ning raised the star-marked sword, and in the dark, he saw a scattered skeleton.
"Something suddenly appeared in her body", where is the system.
It was clearly... her soul from another world.
Ning Ning remembered the second question to ask Mo Xiu.
About the curse on her.
The man didn't know much about this, and he fumbled to tell her that this curse had been lost for many years, and he only knew that it was a life-stealing spell.
For some unknown reason, at a young age, she has suffered unimaginable death and karma. I am afraid that she will die soon after.
karma.
Back then, in the small sorcery shop in Luan City, the shop owner had inadvertently revealed that the demons had a kind of substitute spell.
Ning Ning didn't delve into it at the time, but now that he thinks about it, it's nothing more than a transfer of cause and effect, life-for-life.
Why did the system only let her do evil things, but didn't care about the consequences.
Because as long as she has thoughts of harm and acts accordingly, she will naturally bear the karma.
Why is the "original" plot in her mind incomplete and often different from the facts.
Because that person has been reincarnated several times, the memory of the first life has become extremely vague. In order to use the technique of substitution, I am afraid that the original cause and effect must be used as the basis.
Why does she and He Zhizhou both have systems and their functions conflict with each other.
Because her "vicious female supporting system" is a fake at all, perhaps the source of inspiration is the "whetstone" created by He Zhizhou by Tiandao.
The original "Ning Ning" died for unknown reasons in the desert. In order to break free from the dead end, he reincarnated over and over again, but things backfired and he couldn't escape his predetermined fate.
Finally, in a certain, perhaps the last reincarnation, I learned the way to replace life - let another soul bear the fate and cause and effect of her mortal death, wait for the former to die, and then reoccupy this body.
It was that person who reincarnated several times.
It was that person who talked to Bai Wu over and over again.
It is the same person who is ultimately trying to save this game.
As for her, it's just a shield to keep that person alive.
What "feigned death escape" is all lies. Once she suffers the fate of death, she will definitely not be able to survive.
Ning Ning continued to move forward and saw a yellowed old book beside the skeleton.
There was no writing on the cover page, but she knew what it was.
Back then, the real "Ning Ning" fell here because of a monster attack. Fortunately, he did not die, and by accident, he discovered the remains of a demon who had fallen for many years.
And a cheat book with the method of backtracking.
Now that she has found a way to backtrack, the cycle of causality has come to a close, and it has come to an end.
The only thing waiting for her is death.
"How many times have you been reincarnated?"
Ning Ning leaned over to pick it up and lowered her eyelashes: "You were once enchanted in reincarnation, so you are so familiar with the terrain of the Demon Domain and each of them, and you are so close to Huo Qiao, right?"
A gust of wind passed by, like a mournful ghost crying.
"What should I call you? System?"
She wanted to laugh in a low voice, but she didn't have the strength to make a sound, so she could only continue in her heart: "Or... 'Ningning'?"
No echo.
Ning Ning didn't care, and gently pulled the corner of his mouth.
Perhaps she was already mentally prepared. When she finally knew the whole truth, she did not feel the sadness and despair she had expected. After a long pause, she asked again in a very light and indifferent tone: "After inheriting your destiny, I'm going to die, right?"
What responded to her was still a long and silent silence.
Suddenly something moved slightly in her heart, and a gust of wind blew past her ear, making her earlobe itch.
Ning Ning heard a voice.
It was no longer a dry and indifferent mechanical voice, but a soft girlish voice just like hers.
"… right."
Something came to the fore, and unexpectedly, she didn't cry or get angry.
Ning Ning was only silent for a moment, as if the boulder that had been in his heart for a long time collapsed and shattered all over the ground. But she breathed a sigh of relief and said in a more ordinary tone: "What about those dreams? About Huo Qiao... Do you like him?"
The voice answered the question: "I thought you guessed everything and wouldn't enter the valley."
Ning Ning opened the pages of the book in her hand, and squinted her eyes at the dust blowing in her face.
The method of retrospect is that the soul born in the yin year, the yin moon, the yin day, and the yin day can only be driven by obsession when it is on the verge of death.
It's a pity that this restriction is so strict that the original owner just fits, but her birthday is far from it, and it is impossible to reverse the time and space.
"In that case, wouldn't I be executed by you on the spot for violating the system's instructions? After I die, you have no shield to replace your life, and there is a high probability that you will die too - do you think I will choose to die together?"
Ning Ning's tone was unbelievably calm.
She was silent for a while, then raised her hand to wipe the water droplets from the corners of her eyes.
"Pei Ji is still in the Mozu bureau."
In the darkness that could not be seen at a glance, the girl clenched the sword in her hand and finally smiled softly: "Even if I can't live... I have to let him live well."
=====
"Ran away?"
Huo Qiao looked at all the wolves in the cave, and heard Qingheng reproach himself: "She somehow broke free from the immortal rope, and her swordsmanship was too fast. I, I didn't respond for a while, just—"
"No problem."
The young Demon Lord just smiled: "Although she has disappeared... Don't we still have someone to use?"
