As a large array of Buddhists who sacrifice themselves to the Dharma, the power of the Crossing Soul Formation should not be underestimated. In addition, the thousands of souls sealed in Goose City have been refined for a whole year, and the power of the formation is even more overwhelming.
Under the golden light of the sky, the demons in the city had nowhere to hide, and before they could even let out their hurried wailing, they turned into dust and phantoms and disappeared.
Ning Ning stood alone in the decaying Buddhist hall, looking around in disappointment.
Back then, in the illusion, Chen Lubai came here when he took them along the streets.
At that time, Lingquan Temple was shrouded in Buddha light, with majestic Buddha statues, and bustling pilgrims coming and going, but at this time it was depressed and silent, and she was the only one left.
The fire on the altar was still flickering, but the girl standing there had long since disappeared. Ning Ning looked at the place where she was standing before, heard the footsteps of Zheng Weiqi and others behind her, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes without a trace.
Self-destructing appearance, attracting demons into the body, putting on a false mask day after day, and becoming a completely different person.
Chen Lubai is so brave that he does not need the pity or sympathy of others.
Ning Ning respects her.
Chen Lubai died, Jin Guang came to the world, and the trial of this pagoda had also come to an end.
The old goose city has no shadow anymore.
=====
This time, everyone has gained a lot.
In fact, there are many ways for cultivators to make money, but Ning Ning and others rarely have the opportunity to go down the mountain as disciples of the sect. pocket money.
But Jianxiu, forging swords, needs money to buy swordsmanship, and Fuxiu needs money to buy raw materials. Let’s talk about Meixiu. As we all know, cosmetics and skin care products are all valuable, both ancient and modern, at home and abroad. If you want to refresh your face, you have to spend a lot pen money.
This also caused a large number of disciples to make ends meet, especially Jianxiu who likes to do damage. When practicing swordsmanship, he either cut down the ancient trees on the mountain, or destroyed the stone pillars in the martial arts field. When his temper came up, he might have to follow him. Dry rack.
Maintenance fees, medical fees, and maintenance fees are such a happy pile, which immediately makes poor families even worse.
But now it's different!
The spring breeze of reform is blowing all over the ground, and the Buddha Pagoda is really upbeat. The children have money and finally stand up!
Ning Ning is no longer the little chicken who waits for the sect to rescue her, she even has the confidence to drink water, she gently took a sip of the teacup, lowered her eyes and said those elegant and mellow Chinese characters: "In 1982, open in vain. "
Tian Xianzi couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but she often said some sentences that people couldn't understand.
He got on the white water, and sat cross-legged directly on the ground without the demeanor of an expert in the world: "Ning Ning came to me this time, why is it?"
"I passed the Goose City Demon Transformation in the Buddha Pagoda together with my sister and brother."
Ning Ning said softly: "Master, since there really was a goose city in history, what is its final outcome?"
She had the most contact with Chen Lubai in the illusion, and later broke the illusion, and it was Ning Ning who saw the little girl jumping into the fire regardless of her body.
She has never experienced too many life and death, and she still has a little girl's mind in her heart, not to mention that Chen Lubai's sacrifice is so heroic, naturally she can't be indifferent.
"Goose City?"
Tian Xianzi recalled for a moment, then smiled lightly: "That test is very difficult, how did you guys pass it?"
As a training venue for the disciples of the Xuanxu Sword Sect, the Buddha Pagoda not only tests swordsmanship, but also takes into account mental skills and resourcefulness. To say that it is typical, the Goose City Demon has become a first-tier player.
Every inner sect and personal biography in the sect can enter the tower, and the copy is recycled. Even if someone passes through before, the rest of the disciples can continue to participate in the pass. It's just that the one who made the first pass will have a much higher reward.
As Pei Ji said, the spiritual power required to build an illusion is enormous, and memory is usually used to combine memories and illusions. The Buddha Tower is no exception, and most of the illusions are based on real events.
"If you want to talk about Goose City, it actually has a lot to do with our division."
Seeing the little girl in front of her with her eyes slightly widened, Tian Xianzi smiled mysteriously: "At that time, it was the time of the battle between the immortals and the demons, and every sect was so busy that they didn't have the energy to go to the Goose City to eliminate the demons. They set up a net formation and trapped them for the time being. It was at that time that several disciples of the Xuanxu Sword Sect took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Goose City to investigate the situation."
The scenes in the pagoda are all conjured up from real events, that—
Ning Ning blurted out, "Have those disciples experienced the same thing as us?"
"exactly."
Tian Xianzi nodded and said, "First fell into that Zhao Qiansun Li... Oh! Miss Chen Lubai set up the maze, and then went out to conquer the demons to help her complete the soul crossing."
After a pause, he said as if muttering to himself, "Strange, after so many years, I still remember her name."
So in the history that really happened, Chen Lubai succeeded.
Ning Ning breathed a sigh of relief, but was still a little sad in his heart, sighed and continued to ask, "Master, how is that old locust tree?"
"Under the soul-crossing formation, the evil spirits will be punished."
Tian Xianzi paused, his voice softer: "From the moment he agreed to assist Chen Lubai, he has already understood the final outcome. You don't need to be too sad, that is their worthy choice, great. When hatred is repaid, there will always be no regrets; not to mention that cause and effect are linked, and the reincarnation of the six realms will always have a time to continue the leading edge."
Ning Ning was silent for a while, and then said in a muffled voice, "The disciple who invited Ying to go to Goose City...is it still mysterious now?"
Tian Xianzi laughed a little.
"I didn't expect it."
He said, "Hey, it was your senior brother Meng Jue who helped Chen Lubai to complete the transcending soul formation back then when he saw through the mystery."
=====
"No, no, no!"
The small courtyard was quiet, and a female voice that sounded like a madman was caught off guard, and the birds were startled: "Can this question be done by a human being? Meng Jue, did you find a problem to deceive me?"
Then there was the gentle and gentle voice of the young man with a helpless smile: "Junior sister, this is the test question from the previous year. Before doing the question, you must first try to figure out the intention of the elder who asked the question."
"What could he have? He just wants me to die!"
Ning Ning was stunned when he heard the sound, and knocked on the door lightly.
After the Goose City checkpoint, although they harvested a lot of treasures, because they were not physically strong at the time, and they had no extra thoughts to divide up the treasures, they first stored all the spoils in the storage bag of the senior sister, and agreed to discuss it today.
Listening to the voice in the room... Senior sister seems to be preparing for the exam.
Zheng Weiqi in the room had been dizzy from the test questions for a long time, and now she heard the knock on the door, she knew that Ning Ning and others came, the whole person seemed to be returning to the light, she sat up in shock from dying and asked with a smile where the guest came from: " Come in!"
Ning Ning pushed the door and went in, followed by Pei Ji and He Zhizhou.
In the room, in addition to Zheng Weiqi, there was also a man in white clothes like a jade tree.
It is the big brother Meng Jue.
Meng Jue is talented and intelligent, and he is the chief no matter the essay or martial arts. If Tian Xianzi is asked to choose the most worry-free apprentice, it is probably this one—
I don't know why, since Meng Jue, the four apprentices he has accepted are weirder than the other. He thought this child was the beginning of his master's sect, but he didn't expect it to be the peak.
Maybe it's exactly what I said, meeting you took all my luck.
Among all the disciples of Tian Xianzi, Ning Ning had the least contact with this senior brother. After all, he either practiced swordsmanship in seclusion or went down the mountain to subdue demons all day long. He seldom punched his card and swiped his face, let alone had a deep understanding of it. .
Meng Jue was born thin and tall, and his eyes were like stars. The so-called "stones are like jade, and pines are like green". In addition, the thin lips often twitched, which made people feel close.
—If it is ignored that this person is an out-and-out black-hearted lotus who even smiles when killing people.
Ning Ning thought very out of time, it seems that in the next plot point, the big brother will join the protagonist group.
And her conscientious death plan will take it to a higher level, the more ruthless she is, the more miserable she will be retaliated by Meng Jue in the future.
So angry, is this the fate of a vicious female supporting cast
He Zhizhou did not see the outside world, and greeted him carelessly: "Senior Sister Zheng, are you still preparing for the academy's literary test?"
The second disciple under Tianxianzi's sect has long been famous in the whole teacher's sect. To put it more informally, others are "Five Years College Entrance Examination and Three Years Simulation". Thirty Years of College Entrance Examination Simulation.
The colleagues who went to the school together back then are now her teachers.
very embarrassing.
"Everyone is here today, how can I study in silence? Come, come and sit! You rarely see Meng Jue, do you?"
Zheng Weiqi finally saw the savior, and she was very happy to be able to temporarily get away from the big mouth of the big brother: "Come on, chat with the big brother!"
Meng Jue's expression didn't change, and his eyes were full of smiles. He nodded at them: "The Ten Method Conference will be coming soon. How are you guys preparing?"
As expected of a scholar, this is what happened when he opened his mouth.
The Ten Ways Meeting is the next important plot point in the original work.
Different from the previous Xiaozhongshan secret realm, although the dharma meeting also gathered elite disciples from various sects, it was much more formal and serious than Xiaozhongshan, which only participated in Jindan and below and whose purpose was limited to searching for heavenly, spiritual and earthly treasures. Not a lot.
At that time, the elite disciples of the major sects will be present one after another. After layers of selection, they will finally compete on the arena. It is a real and real battle, and it is not enough to put water in the water.
In order to win the championship, the original body made a lot of stumbling blocks on Pei Ji, which led to a complete intensification of the contradiction.
Ning Ning had another stalk in his heart.
Zheng Weiqi glared at him: "Why do you keep your mouth open and shut your mouth?"
At the end, he turned his head again and grinned: "Junior brother and sister came to my yard after a long time, why don't I show you my treasures in stock!"
It is said that it is "stock", but it is actually the bottom of the box that cannot be sold. After she finished speaking, she left the wooden table, dodged to a pear-flowered wooden box, and opened it with ease.
There was sunlight pacing slowly from the window, and Ning Ning saw the dust dancing with the light on the box.
"The things that can't be sold are mostly clothes."
Zheng Weiqi said with a sad expression on her face, covered her lips and sighed: "It's a pity that no one is willing to wear them on their bodies. Even if I want to see the appearance of these children's upper bodies, it is an unattainable luxury."
That demeanor, that tone, like an old mother who can't marry her daughter.
He Zhizhou is the most enthusiastic about this kind of thing, and it is obligatory to take a step forward: "Don't worry, isn't it with us!"
Zheng Weiqi lowered her eyes, her sleeves still covering her mouth: "Really? But they don't like them, and they don't look good..."
"I definitely don't dislike it!"
Zheng Weiqi glanced at him faintly.
For some reason, He Zhizhou always felt a chill in his heart and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
So Zheng Weiqi turned around without saying a word.
When he turned around again, he was holding several pieces of clothing in his hand, red, pink, and green flowers, but no one could wear them.
Moreover, He Zhizhou seems to have found out.
These are all goddamn women's clothing.
He finally understood why Zheng Weiqi covered her mouth with her sleeves when she was hooking him.
This woman... She's laughing wildly!
But the vicious-hearted poisonous woman smiled innocently: "Then thank you all."
He Zhizhou: "Haha."
He Zhizhou: "I think—"
"Between the same class, where do you need to say thank you."
Before he could finish his words, he heard Meng Jue speaking on the side. It was called Qingfeng Jiyue, elegant and easygoing: "Let us try on these clothes."
He Zhizhou:
No, Brother Meng, are you stupid when you study? This is women's clothing! Women's clothing!
He really wanted to refuse, but he heard Meng Jue's voice: "As Junior Brother He just said, we will never dislike it."
you are vicious.
He Zhizhou took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Yes, haha."
When he agreed, several people present all looked at Pei Ji.
The taciturn young man is like a sheep that has strayed into the wolf's den. Even if he holds the sword with a cold face, he cannot escape the identity of the lamb to be slaughtered.
Zheng Weiqi: "Little Junior Brother..."
Pei Ji looked at her, and then at Ning Ning's expectant look.
The knuckles holding the sword were a little harder, and he lowered his eyes and responded with a "um".
So Ning Ning, Pei Ji, Meng Jue and He Zhizhou walked into a small room in the courtyard alone, while Zheng Weiqi stayed in the room and waited patiently.
He Zhizhou was the first to come out.
He was wearing a light pink wide-sleeved moonlight skirt with many folds. As he moved lightly, it was like a faint moonlight swaying in the wind. It was soft and elegant, with a graceful posture.
Zheng Weiqi desperately resisted the urge to laugh out loud. In order to prevent He Zhizhou from finding the corners of her mouth raised, she stood up on the spot and stood upside down.
When the corners of your mouth can't help but curl up, if you can stand upside down, the lips that were originally going to be curved upwards will be turned downwards.
Reasonable and justifiable, not accept it.
- a ghost! It's not even stealing the bell, is it? Who gave you the courage to laugh so arrogantly after standing upside down!
He Zhizhou just wanted to give this poisonous woman a sword, when suddenly the sound of pushing the door blew past his ears, causing him to turn his head subconsciously.
Ning Ning and Meng Jue didn't know what they were dawdling about, but Pei Ji came out second.
He obviously didn't understand how to wear a woman's attire, and he was wearing a lake blue Liuxian skirt that was crooked.
However, this person has an excellent appearance, even if she wears a messy dress, she can still show a bit of seductive charm. The neck is white, like a flawless jade.
Pei Ji was expressionless, wearing women's clothes and wearing a slashing attitude.
When the two of them left the room, Ning Ning and Meng Jue opened the door at the same time. He Zhizhou originally wanted to see what the stunningly talented Senior Brother Meng looked like in women's clothes, but he turned his head in joy -
Why didn't you two bastards change your clothes at all! ! !
He Zhizhou heard the sound of something cracking.
He was in a trance and seemed to ask, "Brother Meng, your clothes..."
Unexpectedly, Meng Jue's servant smiled lightly without changing his face, and said the most deadly lines in the most casual words: "I don't say that, how can you agree?"
Ning Ning also touched his head, feeling a little embarrassed: "Senior brother and sister told me through voice transmission, just wait in the room slowly for the two of you to come out - you are so beautiful!"
He Zhizhou:
He Zhizhou: ? ?
Your so-called eldest brother of Guangfengjiyue, a modest gentleman, is this kind of person? ah? Why does the little guy still have two faces
Look at Pei Ji again.
What an indifferent and cool little boy he used to be, but at this moment he was holding his skirt and standing in the same place, his ears were still light red.
Like a poor honest man who was deceived by his house children and wife and shivered in the cold wind.
Too bad, too bad. - You are not human! Actually bullying honest people! Can you bear it! What do you owe him in your heart? ! !
"Why did you change it?"
Ning Ning was the closest to Pei Ji, and came to him like a gentle breeze. Although she was trying to hold back her laughter, the curvature of the corner of her mouth couldn't be more obvious: "I'm sorry, I thought they also told you through voice transmission, this time they are here. Partnering with He Zhizhou."
In the end, he couldn't hold back, and he burst out laughing.
Pei Ji frowned, but felt that it was neither moving nor not moving, his ears were getting hot for some reason, and Chengying in his heart cried out, "He's not for you, doesn't he want you to wear those ugly clothes alone? Woohoo! Do you have the heart to treat him like this, Ningning! He tries so hard to wear women—"
After a pause, it seemed that he couldn't hold it any longer, and he let out a terrifying laugh: "I'm sorry Pei Xiaoji, I really tried my best hahaha! You look so beautiful now hahahahahaha!"
Pei Ji: …
"However, that's not how this dress is worn."
Ning Ning took another step closer to him, slowly raised his right hand, his fingertips fell on the young man's fair neck, twisted a corner of his clothes to cover his exposed skin.
"As we all know, only wives organize clothes for their husbands."
Chengying said sternly: "You made a profit, Pei Xiaoji."
certainly not.
Pei Ji thought, not only the wife, but also the loving mother in the family is arranging the clothes.
What's more, he didn't want to, and the little sister wouldn't marry him as his wife, so why not make money
"And here," Ning Ning blinked, looked down, and landed on Pei Ji's open cuffs, "This sleeve has a tie design, if you don't tie it, your arms will be exposed."
She leaned over as she spoke, her nimble fingers resting on the light-colored tie. Pei Ji's arm can be seen through the open long sleeves.
It is slender and straight, and it is too white, as if it has not been exposed to the sun for a long time, showing strips of light blue blood vessels. On the cold white skin, there were actually several old scars, mostly whip marks, and there were also burn marks, which were particularly hideous against the slender arms of the young man.
Pei Jiniang hated him to the core, and there were few words about it in the original book, but judging from these scars, it seems that it is not just as simple as "loneliness and helplessness".
Ning Ning's heart sank slightly, and she noticed that Pei Ji's arm suddenly shrank.
He was attracted by Chengying's words just now, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Ning Ning was looking at his scarred arm from outside his sleeve.
... He didn't want her to see that look.
"Okay, okay, I'll teach you about the sleeves later - I just changed my clothes, why did I mess up my hair?"
Ning Ning knew that he had strong self-esteem, and pretending to be concerned at this time would only add to embarrassment, so pretended to be calm and straightened up, looking up at Pei Ji's messy black hair.
Who would have thought that the original male protagonist could draw a sword, exorcise demons, and cook, but he was clumsy in dressing, and after a single operation, his hair was as messy as a chicken coop.
After all, this is not the 21st century. Although the world of self-cultivation advocates equality and free communication, it is still the case that men and women do not get along.
And she and Pei Ji were not close enough to scratch their heads, so they could only smile lightly and point to the top of their head: "You are messing around here."
Pei Ji learned her movements and touched the same position on her head.
In his impression, no one has ever been so patiently instructed to wear lacing.
His childhood memories were not very clear, but he only remembered that his mother hated his clumsiness the most.
Now Ning Ning smiled and told him softly how to do such trivial things well... It always felt a little strange.
Even his own mind became not quite right.
Chengying laughed: "Just tell me, did you make a profit?"
=====
"Strange, Meng Jue doesn't leave the room easily on weekdays. He is either studying or practicing swordsmanship. Why has he disappeared today."
The shadows of the trees in the mountains were mottled, and the birds were singing up and down. Tian Xianzi walked side by side with another tall young man and talked eloquently: "But don't worry, he will always come back. I will take you to Weiqi Courtyard to see, she I have been studying hard recently, and it must be in the house."
The young man said with a loud laugh, "Thank you, Elder Tianxian. The elder really cares about his disciples, and he worked tirelessly to inform the event one by one."
Tian Xianzi is worthy of being thick-skinned. Hearing this, he did not refute, but nodded with a smile: "That's not it."
The young man beside him was the contact person of the Xuanxu faction sent by the Ten Ways Association.
Unexpectedly, Meng Jue was not there, and the two of them ate behind closed doors.
"My two apprentices were born with stubborn energy. Now that the school is nearing the evaluation, she must be studying hard and practicing hard."
Approaching Zheng Weiqi's small courtyard, Tian Xianzi was happy: "Oh, the door is not closed!"
After he said that, he took a long leg.
Without knocking or pushing the door, you can clearly see the scene in the house.
Tian Xianzi's smile solidified at the corner of his mouth.
Lord Huang Tian.
What kind of demon dance is this? ?
But seeing that Pei Ji was wearing a long dress and her clothes were disheveled and her face was flushed, Ning Ning kept touching him, scratching from left to right, laughing and not knowing what she was talking about.
The poor little boy dared not speak, his body stiff and motionless.
- Robbing civilian men in broad daylight is a real bully.
He Zhizhou was wearing a pale pink moonflower dress, and he laughed so much that he was like a sinking fish, falling geese, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers. Meng Jue on the side smiled and said to him: "Junior Brother He's immortal appearance, don't be ashamed. I appreciate you very much. "
He Zhizhou patted him with his orchid fingers up: "I hate it, no more."
- What do you admire about him? Wear women's clothing? Meng Jue darling, stay awake, don't!
And Zheng Weiqi herself is even more terrifying.
She stood upright with her hands on the ground, her whole face twitched together, the corners of her mouth twisted into an extremely weird arc, and she couldn't stop laughing.
-Tian Xianzi does not want to express any opinion on this.
Pale hands, trembling slightly.
Tian Xianzi closed the door expressionlessly.
"Sorry, I just seemed to have a little hallucination just now."
Tian Xianzi resisted the twitching of his forehead and tried his best to squeeze a spasmodic smile from his lips: "Let me open it again."
The sound fell, and the door was pushed open again.
In the courtyard, it was as if time stood still, no different from before the door was closed.
Five pairs of blank eyes stared straight at the door, as quiet as a chicken.
Delicate pink.
Forced stripping.
Laughing upside down.
Great, everything is still as it was before.
The gentle wind passed through the hall, and Tian Xianzi's heart fluttered.
After so many years of trust and time, it was finally paid by mistake.
"The disciple of the elder Tianxian..."
Where did the contact person have received such a strong visual impact, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said in a panic, "Sure enough, we are like brothers and sisters, and our love is as deep as the sea. Look at my mouth!"
