Beyond the Divine States

Lotus boat into the lake, duckweed separated, rather long looking at the color of the junction of water and sky, eyes indifferent, his fingers gently tap the side of the boat, let lotus boat along Qiusheng's finger to lead forward.

Ning Xiaoling looks self-confident, but in the heart is beating a drum, a little nervous.

Xiaolian lies on the side of the lotus boat, reaches for the water, listens to the sound of the water, smiles constantly, looks energetic, not tired at all.

Ning Changjiu asked, "what kind of monster is it?"

Qiu Sheng replied, "a big snake! The injured boa constrictor is a big one. In the past, some immortal masters were scared and could not help drawing their swords. "

Ning Xiaoling decided something in her heart. She thought that she had seen the world. How could a python scare her?

Today, they are lucky. After the lotus boat sailed away, a large black area floated under the dark water. At that moment, Ning Xiaoling found that he underestimated the length of the boa constrictor.

The shadow was dozens of times longer than their lotus boat. When it emerged from the bottom of the water, Ning Xiaoling felt a little dizzy. He always felt that the next moment, the BoA's body swung, the little lotus boat would overturn in an instant. Then the boa opened its mouth, and they all became the flesh of the boa.

Ning long gently grasped her hand, indicating that she was relieved.

And rather long sleeve of hand pinched a sword Jue, ready to deal with sudden changes.

But it was peaceful all along.

Under the lotus boat, the dragon's figure glided silently across the bottom of the boat, revealing a little black spine, which brought a very long and narrow triangular water pattern when swimming.

At dusk, the boa constrictor swam with the lotus boat for a while. Qiusheng didn't urge him. He just made a silent gesture to the two immortal masters, as if he didn't want to disturb the "river god".

Before the light disappeared at the end of the lake, the boa constrictor, like a river god, finally raised its head. Its head was dark blue, just like the old tile color, full of the sense of time. And its eyes are painted red lines on both sides, with some ferocious looks. It turns its huge conical head and spits out its slender tongue at the people on the lotus boat.

"Immortal master, go after him." Qiu Sheng whispered.

Ning Changjiu taps on the side of the boat and drives the lotus boat to the side of the snake. The head of the snake is the size of a lotus boat. It's frightening to see. Ning Xiaoling is afraid. But looking at Xiaolian, a seven or eight year old girl, she is not afraid. She even reaches out her hand to touch the head of the snake, and her heart is relaxed.

Ning long looked at the dark blue head, also stretched out his hand, stroked the fine and hard scales, the scales are very smooth, like the pebbles washed countless times by running water.

"Does it have a name?" Ning long asked.

Qiusheng scratched his head with embarrassment and said, "it's called Dahei."

Ning long silence for a while, calm way: "good name."

Ning Xiaoling's mouth was on her lips, and she forced herself to smile.

The snake named Da Hei played with them for a while. Then it seemed to prove the origin of its name and rolled its body. Ning long looked along its very long body, and its eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.

Ning Xiaoling also issued a small cry of surprise.

Only then did they know what Qiu Sheng meant when he said that the snake was hurt.

The snake was almost torn from the center of its body. Its abdomen was empty, and only a large and rugged white bone connected the two ends of its body. It looked like a piece of iron rope connected two soft sticks. The snake was indifferent to such a fatal injury, and swayed leisurely and sank into the deep lotus pond.

There was a cold fog at the end of the lotus pond.

The moon has been unconsciously hanging in the sky, the dark blue sky is like a huge cloth, the stars are like fireflies, the silver light on the water is shaking, and the shadow of the moon is rippling into parallel silver strings.

The lotus boat went back slowly and quickly. It didn't take long for it to reach the shore. Qiusheng returned the boat and went home with two immortal masters.

Ning Xiaoling met a lot of strange monsters today and felt very happy. When she got home and settled in a clean new room, she suddenly realized a very important thing.

She turned her head, looked at her elder martial brother and asked, "what are we here for?"

Ning Changjiu said: "it seems that he is here to help get rid of demons."

Ning Xiaoling said: "but the monsters here have been influenced... What can we get rid of?"

Ning sighed for a long time and said, "it's good for the townspeople here."

Ning Xiaoling held her face, half of her former satisfaction disappeared, and said: "the other disciples have accumulated countless merits in this month. We are cheating here this month?"

Ning long relieved: "it's a good thing to be able to practice in peace of mind."

Ning Xiaoling grabbed his sword, pulled it out of its sheath, looked at his face on the mirror like sword, and said, "then we'll eat and drink for nothing?"

Ning Changchang said: "who would have thought that the weather was so good in the wilderness."

Ning Xiaoling held her cheek and said, "if I were one of those evil spirits, I wouldn't dare to come if I had such a big black snake with a strong will."

Ning long thought of the big black snake, loose thinking, vaguely emerged out of some dust fragments, slowly pieced together the shapeless picture.

Ning Xiaoling complained there and said, "elder martial brother, if not, let's go out of town and have a look. Maybe there are big monsters out there looking at us!"

Ning Changjiu rejected: "Lu Jiajia said, let's not run around, and elder martial brother's physique really attracts some monsters, but no one can rescue us."

Ning Xiaoling thought of Mrs. white bone. The sword that came down from the sky always made her thrill. She suddenly felt that it was good to live a month's pastoral life. There were delicious cakes, funny monsters, strong snakes and plenty of aura.

"It's quite suitable for the elderly." Young people, who are only 14 years old, said so.

Ning Changjiu said with a smile, "you said the same thing when you went to Linhe City last time."

Ning Xiaoling snorted and said: "a man of cultivation, the world is home. Elder martial brother, this time you want to be shallow."

Ning long smiles and nods.

Ning Xiaoling burned a pot of hot water, and then went to spread the neat quilt. Recalling today's experience, she said curiously, "what's the mouth of the girl named Xiaolian? I've explored it. It's normal. Why can't she speak?"

Ning long also explored, but could not understand, so he had to say: "this town is strange, and some strange people and strange things are not difficult to understand."

Ning Xiaoling asked again, "what about those monsters? Why are they so good, especially the big snake, which is supposed to be the demon king in other places. "

Ning long nodded to show his approval. It was hard to estimate the state of the python, which had a blue head and black body, red lines in its eyes and a large area of torn abdomen. When it appeared, it really gave itself a natural sense of oppression. In a word, it was by no means inferior to Xueyu Jun, who was also a generation of demon finches in Nanzhou.

Such a boa constrictor is supposed to have horns and become a spirit beast at any time. Somehow, it is willing to guard the lotus pond.

"Maybe in this small town, there are senior people." This is the only reasonable explanation Ning can think of.

A word awakens the dreamer.

Ning Xiaoling suddenly realized and nodded: "it's reasonable! It must be a very powerful master who lives in seclusion here. Maybe it's some elder of Yujian Tianzong! "

Thinking of this, Ning Xiaoling's mood of mourning disappeared more than half, and her regret of not being able to kill demons and Demons was suddenly covered by the expectation of looking for mysterious talents.

She looked at the elder martial brother and begged: "the elder martial brother will accompany me to find the old fairy tomorrow."

Ning Changchang thought that the old immortals living in seclusion don't want to be disturbed? But he couldn't resist his younger martial sister's request, so he had to agree.

The night is getting dark.

Ning Xiaoling has fallen asleep, while Ning Changjiu habitually comes to the window and looks at the scenery outside.

The bright moon is like water, the tile eaves are like frost, the bamboo windows are covered with a large piece of banana leaves, large pieces of bamboo are swaying in the night wind, and the bamboo shadows are shaking on the courtyard wall full of slender vines.

The world is quiet. I don't know if the stars are more clearly projected into the sky because of the departure of the gods.

If on weekdays, he should be refining the body for Lu Jiajia at the moment. After half a month's tempering, Lu Jiajia fell into the bottleneck again. Ning had discussed with her seriously for a long time, but he could not think of a better way. He thought that the next way was to rely on her own hard work to complete the thousand mile journey of sword body cultivation.

Lu Jiajia can also feel that she is only a line away from the purple court. When Ning goes back to meet him in a month, maybe she is a lord of the purple court.

Ning long heart more and more static.

The pale golden pulse in his body begins to flow. The sea of Qi opens like a vortex. The surrounding aura flows in and starts to rotate at an incredible speed. If he opens his eyes now, he can see that his eyes are full of thousands of golden rays like the sun.

Reiki is refined into Reiki after several weeks of circulation.

Ordinary practitioners can clearly feel their own bottleneck before entering each realm. There are obvious boundaries in each realm, such as entering the metaphysics, connecting the immortals, longevity and purple court.

But Ning long can't feel his own line.

At the moment when Jinwu arrived, all the obstacles were swept away, and the path of cultivation was smooth for him. He could only see a line in a distant place, and he was not sure whether that line represented long life, purple court or farther.

A quiet night of practice, rather long sleep for a while, the stars gradually fade, the tip of the grass has been rolling dew.

Early in the morning, Qiusheng calls two immortal masters to have breakfast.

The dish is fish made by Xiaolian.

Ning Xiaoling hesitated originally, thinking that she promised the little black cat not to rob fish yesterday, but after she took the first chopsticks, she did not see any other place to take chopsticks. On one side, the black cat, who also got up early, jumped onto the long wooden stool, whined at the girl and scolded her for not keeping her promise.

Ning long simply took two bites.

He never had much interest in the delicacies of the world.

After breakfast, the sun shines into the room. In the bright hall, the paintings on the walls are much clearer.

Ning long-term vision cast in the past, those paintings are rich in themes, such as the vast fishing boat Pan River map, the colorful green landscape, the meticulous painting of flowers and birds, and the nimble black cat at home also has a vivid portrait.

Ning Long's vision passed slowly, and finally fell to the center of the hall. There was a painting hanging there. Compared with other paintings, this painting was very inconspicuous, even because the pattern was too square and the lines were too rigid.

That's a layout of a small town.

Ning long stares at it for a while and shakes his head slightly. He doesn't see any fame. On the contrary, he has the illusion that he can draw even when he picked up a pen after three months of learning.

On the left side of the painting, there is a poem, which is equally common

The lotus fragrance shakes the wind bell, the lamp reflects the bamboo wall and the courtyard

At home, the bird looks far away at the height of the building, and the solitary lamp is like the moon shining in the water

Ning Xiaoling noticed the elder martial brother's eyes and looked over. After reading it twice, she also commented in a low voice: "it seems that I can write too."

Ning Changchang thought that he and his younger martial sister were a perfect match in poetry and painting.

In the morning, Ning Changchang and Qiusheng chat a few words. Xiaolian sits on a bench and listens quietly. From time to time, she draws something.

Ning long asked him something about the hermit in the town.

It's difficult for Qiu Sheng. Although he is only ten years old, Qiu Sheng has a small town and a good relationship with his neighbors. He has visited many places in the street. There are many strong and capable men, but he has to say something about hermits

He thought about the famous grandfathers in liantian Town, but he shook his head every time he thought of one. Most of their fame came from their erudition and unique skills. If you really talk about their martial arts, you might not even be able to beat the little white rabbit who likes to patrol at the intersection.

"I don't think so." After thinking hard, Qiusheng shakes his head.

Ning Xiaoling didn't feel disappointed. She thought that it was easy to be found, and she was also called a hermit expert. Experts were all hidden!

Ning Changchang thought that Qiu Sheng's grandfather would be a master, but he carefully observed the strength of these paintings. Although he was fluent and experienced, it was only out of practice that makes perfect. There was no trace of a monk.

Ning Xiaoling teases the black cat with a small fish stem. The black cat skilfully jumps and waves its claw pad. After several rounds, it jumps suddenly. In a blink of an eye, Ning Xiaoling has only a small tail between his fingers.

Xiaoling was very surprised at the skill of the black cat. She reassessed its combat effectiveness in her heart. She thought that a little cat here is so powerful that there must be other big people who are not obvious.

After playing for a while, Ning Xiaoling grabs Ning Changjiu's hand and takes him to look for an expert.

Qiusheng asks if he wants to be accompanied. Ning Changjiu politely refuses.

This small town is not really big. The pattern of the whole town is mostly "Feng", implying good luck.

In spring, the sun is not strong, warm, showing a lazy genial.

They strolled around the town for a whole morning. They really felt the divine sense, and looked at whether there were bright or unusual shining spots in the map displayed by the divine sense shop.

But all morning, they wandered back and forth the town twice and got nothing.

"An expert deserves to be an expert." Ning Xiaoling is not willing to admit his failure, firmly believe that it is too high.

Ning long helpless smile.

"Ah, how can we go back and explain to our master about our achievements?" Ning Xiaoling was still a little worried. In her mind, she could not help thinking that the rest of her disciples were cutting demons with flying swords.

Ning Changchang said, "it's only the next day. I don't know what strange things will happen in the future."

Ning Xiaoling curled his lips and accepted it with distrust.

In one room, they saw a giant lizard spirit lying on the roof to bask in the sun. The lizard spirit was raised by an old woman, calling herself gecko general, and moving quickly.

When he saw the brothers and sisters in white, the gecko general pointed his throat and said, "immortal master, immortal master, eat spotted frog."

On the roof opposite him, a toad was awakened with a big round cheek and said: "immortal master, immortal master, kill the snake."

Ning Xiaoling chuckled and said hello to them.

At the intersection, the rabbit spirit wearing tiles also arrived after hearing the news, saying the rabbit language they didn't understand and pestering with them for a while.

When they sat in the lotus pond and looked at the lake in the afternoon, Ning Xiaoling finally despaired: "elder martial brother, I don't know whether I should be happy or not."

Ning Changchang said: "the country is peaceful and the people are safe. You should learn from your sister Xiang'er and have the magnanimity of a king."

Ning Xiaoling held her face and looked at the process of the setting sun sinking into the lake. She said helplessly, "that elder martial brother, give me a piece of land. I'll go to the seat of the female emperor, too?"

Ning Changjiu threw stones into the water one by one with a smile“ If other disciples had chance, I would not be able to beat them. " Ning Xiaoling began to worry blindly. Ning Changchang said: "it's half a month before you return to the peak. If you have time to feel their reality, besides, there is plenty of aura here. You don't have to be inferior to them when you practice at ease." Ning Xiaoling thinks there is some truth. After seven days of such a quiet life, Ning Xiaoling finally had another thing to look forward to when she was planning to find a peerless talent. On the seventh day, outside the memorial archway in liantian Town, a monster with a wolf tooth stick in his hand, claiming to be the top three in the list of wolf teeth, came to worship the village.
