Beyond the Divine States

Middle Earth, ancient lingzong, the city is covered with fog.

This is the third month that Ning Xiaoling came to the ancient lingzong. She still has an unreal feeling when she looks at the air of the dead spirit floating like a dragon.

Ancient lingzong is not as pure as Yujian Tianzong. There are many kinds of techniques, such as spirit control, swordsmanship, and refining techniques involving ancient gods. Ning Xiaoling didn't major in the most familiar swordsmanship, but chose the way to the nether world.

There are creatures dying all the time between heaven and earth, and the ancient lingzong dominates most of the aura of the nether world by sitting in the site of the underworld. The other ten or so small sects in the Middle Earth who practice this way have to pay homage to each other every year in order to get a share of it.

When Ning Xiaoling first entered the sect, he was given a brass ring. All the inner disciples of the ancient lingzong had such a ring. In each ring, there was a fragment of power.

This fingernail sized fragment of power is certainly impossible to play a role, but it is beneficial to the cultivation of Taoism, and it is also a symbol of identity.

When Ning Xiaoling came here, he felt how rich the aura of the great gate was. There was a famous green and blue sky waterfall between the stone cliffs in that sect, which was especially striking in the ancient lingzong with dark color as the main tone. What flows in the waterfall is not water, but the spiritual power that turns into liquid form when it reaches the extreme. They condense from the sharp cliff at the top of the mountain and fall down the cliff, making a real waterfall like roar.

This is a scene that Ning Xiaoling has never seen before in Nanzhou.

In this sect, the hierarchy is also very strict. It's far from Yujian Tianzong. The Lord of the peak can come to class when he has nothing to do

Except for the practitioners who taught them swordsmanship and magic, she had hardly seen anyone higher.

These special practitioners are called Mr. shuoling. Each of them is strictly selected. Their realm is not high. They have only the peak of longevity. Their task in the sect is to teach the younger generation practitioners and send off the new generation after generation. This is true all their lives.

Ning Xiaoling said that Mr. Ling was a tall woman. Before Ning Xiaoling came, there were nine young friars in her hands. This makes Mr. shuoling unhappy for a long time, because she thinks that nine is the number of life, and the one that exceeds is the variable, which is unlucky.

But fortunately, Xiaoling was very competitive. After she came to the sect, she practiced hard, and her state of mind also improved by leaps and bounds. In just two months, she was able to enter the "yellow spring" and become well-known among the younger generation.

At the beginning of winter every year, all the young people have a big exam. Those who pass the exam will go to a higher level of practice. Those who fail will continue to stay until the next year.

Ning Xiaoling knew that two or three of his classmates had not passed the exam for five years, and the limit for each practitioner was seven years. Looking at their thinning hair, she thought that not all of them were geniuses.

Well, only elder martial brother is a real genius

She has met many amazing people here, but compared with her elder martial brother, she always seems more ordinary.

She has also heard some people tease her that the word "Ling" of Ning Xiaoling should be changed to "zero", because her concern for other things is almost blank.

But what happened in October not only shook the land in Southeast China, but also made Ning Xiaoling tremble and worry about the state of Zhao thousands of miles away.

There are more than a thousand clans of different sizes under the separate rule of China and Turkey. Among them, the only one that is really powerful is the sword Pavilion on the fourth floor of the eight gods clan.

Gulingzong is one of the eight gods, which has a great reputation.

The fourth floor is like a seat on a chessboard, standing upright in the four corners. If the whole Middle Earth is a kingdom of God, then the four heavenly buildings are the pillars of the mythological logic of the Middle Earth. Their history is too long to study.

Originally, the sword pavilion was just a ruined clan, but after the catastrophe five hundred years ago, the most legendary leader of the sword Pavilion took over the sword of the beginning of the clan and visited 36 sword sects in China. Since then, the nine sword saints in China have removed their titles, and only one of them is a saint. Since then, the name of sword sage has flourished in Zhongzhou. It is said that his sword is fast enough to cut off time.

But in addition, there is a place known all over the world, which is called Wanyao city. Wanyao city is to the north of ancient lingzong. Many talented friars entered the city alone, but no one came out alive. The reason is that there are eight words on the gate of Wanyao City: "the coming is the guest" and "the one with sword dies".

This time, however, it was not in a pavilion on the fourth floor of the eight schools, but in the 81 states of central Turkey.

There are only seven big countries in China, big and small. Each of the seven countries is the overlord. The strength of the other small countries should not be much different. But in recent years, in the southeast of China, there is a country that has been devouring and rapidly rising.

The new country is called Lei country.

The state of Lei was born in a land of poor mountains and evil waters. There is a large area of Lei Ze around this small country in the mountains. Although it is based on natural danger, it is invincible for human invasion. However, there are many barren mountains, barren land, and difficult vegetation. It is also said that there are ancient evil gods under Lei Ze, and the people of Lei kingdom are the sacrifices of ancient gods.

But a few years ago, there was a female emperor in the state of Lei. This female emperor was very young, but her talent was extraordinary. When she was less than 20 years old, she had stepped into the purple court, and with the people of the country, she opened up a way of life in the poor mountains and evil waters. In a few years, she fought South and North, winning many with few, occupying all the territory of several small countries around her,

The female emperor of the state of Lei played their flag. It was a black flag with a thunder sparrow on it.

Recently, when the birthday of the empress was approaching, she hosted a banquet and invited the famous clan in the southeast corner of central Turkey.

As an outstanding disciple of the ancient lingzong, Ning Xiaoling also went to the banquet with the team.

Lei Kingdom takes Leichi as the river to protect the city. On the tower, the blue flag of Lei que is flying. In the gray sky, there are sometimes strong lightning swords that split the sky and make the pupils bright.

Ning Xiaoling was not interested in this state banquet, but after attending it, she was surprised to find that this banquet was not a real state banquet or birthday banquet, but a banquet for the rise of the lady of the state of Lei.

The rise of the purple court is unheard of even for such a large number of people as the ancient lingzong.

At the banquet, Ning Xiaoling met the empress.

The name of the female emperor is Shi Yu.

Different from the fierce folk custom of Lei Kingdom, the female emperor is very petite. When she walks in the army, she looks like a kitten, holding her head high and walking along the road lined up by tigers and wolves. At the end of her dark hair, there are golden thunder and lightning. Those thunder and lightning make her long hair silent and swing, and even shine her back brightly, as if she has two wings of thunder and lightning.

While the rest of the people are lamenting that the empress is so surprised that she will be famous in the middle of China in a few years, Ning Xiaoling just looks at her carefully, thinking that the empress is not as beautiful as xianger's sister

In fact, Shi Yu's appearance is very beautiful, but Ning Xiaoling always feels that she lacks something. She looks like a beautiful and powerful doll, which is not close to people.

Ning Xiaoling is eating a state banquet and occasionally takes a look at the empress sitting at the top. She imagines some pictures of elder martial brother and sister Xiang'er together in her mind to add some comfort. But she also knew that the images she imagined might never happen again.

Banquets and banquets, sudden changes.

Outside the gate of Lei Kingdom, it suddenly snowed.

A crystal clear flying sword across the Leize, even 12 cities, with a storm and snow, hovered outside the imperial city.

There is also a girl standing on the sword of ice and snow.

The girl was also pretty. She was dressed in a thick mink flannel, with snowflakes floating between her clothes. Her eyes were more like those polished by ice, clear and clear, with the air of enduring frost.

On her shoulder, there was a bird.

"You are Shi Yu?" The girl on the snow sword looks over the crowd, stares at the empress of the thunder Kingdom, and asks coldly.

Shi Yu raised his head slightly, looking at the uninvited guest of his own age, his brow gradually wrinkled.

"Who? What's the matter? " Between the teacher rain questions, there are thunder and lightning in the sky, which makes her eyebrows not angry.

The girl on the snow sword said, "my name is Xueyuan, the leader of the cold year old city in northern China. I'm here to make a letter of war with you today."

Between words, she casually teased the birds on her shoulders.

She has the same name as the Snowbird.

"The book of war?" Shi Yu's eyes gradually narrowed.

In addition to Wanyao City, where no one is in charge, the other clans in the whole middle land have made agreements to strictly prohibit private fights between monks. Even if there is a duel, there must be a battle document approved by both sides.

This agreement is the jurisdiction of the monks. After all, a sudden divine war may destroy the city and the country in the age of ancient gods thousands of years ago.

As a Terran friar, we can't repeat the disaster caused by those animals.

So no matter where the sect is, as long as it forms a large scale, there are many restrictions on the monks in the sect.

"Well, do as the Romans do. After all, it's a big place. It's not like we can kill people at will." Snow kite light mouth.

Shi Yu said, "if I don't agree?"

Snow kite way: "you have no reason not to allow."

The sound of thunder and lightning in the sky is more intensive.

Ning Xiaoling understood that, in full view of the public, such a provocation of breaking into the city gate alone, as the proud lady of the state of Lei, was naturally intolerable.

What's more, their age and realm are just the same.

Even their totems are similar.

The flag totem of Shiyu leiguo is leique, and the robe of Xueyuan is also painted with shenbird of XueGuo.

This is Shi Yu's state banquet and also her birthday banquet.

The day of flying is approaching, but the afternoon of war comes first.

She suddenly raised her head and looked to the west, with a slight look of melancholy and sadness.

"No one can beat me at the same age and in the same environment." Shi Yu said haughtily.

Snow kite asked: "why?"

Shi Yu said: "because my mother is the most powerful person in the world, and I am her daughter. Of course, I will not be defeated."

Snow kite suddenly issued a sneer: "my mother is also the strongest person in the world."

Shi Yu's eyes narrowed, and the current at the end of his hair flowed upward, almost pouring the whole black hair into gold.

"You..." she said.

Xueyuan laughed and said, "I know your identity, but you don't know mine. The enclosure is king, and you think it's perfect... Do you know how lovely you are?"

Shi Yu's face looks calm, but everyone present can feel the strange breath from her.

The sky was thundering and flashing.

She is connected with the city, and the city, the sky, knows her emotions.

"No way! My mother has only one daughter Shi Yu suddenly gave out a roar, like a furious lioness.

The ice and snow broke through the castle and slowly pushed it into the city. The girl on the sword said, "sooner or later, we will have a war. Instead of waiting until we return to the kingdom of God to fight, we'd better divide the victory and defeat now, so as to save our mother a few years later. Right? Sister

"Who is your sister?" Between the skirts of Shiyu's clothes, the thunder light is as strong as an immortal fire.

After the sword landed in the city, the snow kite came down on the sword. It was cold everywhere. Winter came ahead of time, and the city also had fine snow.

Xueyuan said, "don't you understand how big the world is? How can people like their mother put their chips on a gambling table?"

Shi Yu believed it, but the horror and malice behind the truth made her cold.

"Why do you know that?" she asked

"It's a secret." Snow kite light mouth. This is a secret that must be kept secret.

Shi Yu said: "if it is true that we are all daughters of our mothers, what are the reasons for our fighting?"

Xueyuan said: "there are three pieces, but the lattice is the only one."

Shi Yu asked, "three?"

Xueyuan nodded: "the last one is in Nanzhou. I'll go to find her when I kill you."

……

The conversation was heard in a fog.

Although the banquet of her Majesty was grand, the empress was young after all. There were not many real bigwigs from all walks of life, and these bigwigs did not know that the content of the conversation between the young girls and the existence involved in it were almost above everything else.

Ning Xiaoling felt that she understood something.

Lei que, Xue Yuan... Nanzhou... Huofeng?

"Sister Xiang'er?" Ning Xiaoling murmured uncertainly.

When she looked at them again, the terrible conjecture appeared in her heart, and her face had changed.

The disciples next to her had never seen this little girl like a cold beauty show such a surprised look. They asked curiously, but they didn't get an answer. They just looked at her eyes twinkling, embarrassed, and seemed to want to leave at any time.

There was a lot of thunder in the sky.

Shi Yu stares at each other, but her heart is already full of waves, but her face doesn't show it.

Over the years, her rise in Lei Guo is almost miraculous.

She holds a sword of canglei and cuts out a road to nobody. There are many difficulties and dangers along the way, but she can always be surrounded by dangers. She believes that this is her mother's test and experience for herself.

But at the moment, another girl stood in front of her. They could even be sisters.

Which side will your mother stand on this time?

The thunder in the sky died down.

"Excuse me." Shi Yu's thoughts are gradually silent. She bows her body apologetically to the guests present: "I'm afraid today's banquet will end ahead of time."

Snow kite smiles.

"Your Majesty, this provocative war is against the rules. Don't pay attention to it. The book of Nations says... "Someone got up and advised.

Shi Yu raised his hand and said, "no, it's not the war, it's... Family business."

"My sister is brave." Xueyuan laughs.

Her smile looked ghostly and pale.

"Where is the battlefield?" Shi Yu asked.

Snow kite way: "choose as you like."

Shi Yu picks her eyebrows slightly. She is the master of Lei kingdom. If she chooses, she will lose first.

"If you want to, it's OK to go to the snow country with you." Division rain light says.

Snow kite smile more Sheng: "if not here and now?"

"Whatever you want." Shi Yu answered.

……

Ning Xiaoling stood at the gate of the city and looked back.

In the Imperial City, half of the city is thunder and half of the city is snow.

The spectacle failed to concentrate her attention.

She just looked at the confrontation from a distance, lips pursed into a line.

"Xiaoling, what's the matter?" Mr. shuoling noticed her abnormality.

Ning Xiaoling shook her head gently: "nothing..."

Said Mr. Ling: "let's go, this state banquet broke up unhappily, no matter win or lose, that snow girl has offended countless people."

Ning Xiaoling was still a little confused. She raised her head and asked, "by the way, sir, where is the nearest post station to leiguo?"

Mr. shuoling asked, "do you want to write a letter?"

"Well."

"To your clan?"

"Yes."

"There's no need. For Tianyu Jianzong, it's better to end it as soon as possible. Those disciples who arrived earlier than you will take root in the middle land in the future... Nanzhou is too remote, so it's not beneficial to practice in the main road. After coming to China, no one wants to go back. "

"Da Dao..." Ning Xiaoling shook her head: "no, I have something important to tell my master..."

Said Mr. Ling thought of her just strange look, asked: "with the snow girl?"

"Yes." Ning Xiaoling nodded hard.

"Good. Then I'll ask the rest of the disciples to come back with uncle Liu first, and I'll accompany you to the letter post station. " Said Mr. Ling.

"Thank you, sir." Ning Xiaoling thanks.

Soon after, thunder rose again in the imperial city behind him, like a huge wave, and the whole Lei Kingdom seemed to tremble in it.

It was a duel close to the peak of the purple court, but there were no witnesses.

The peak of the purple court, even for the practitioners in the middle land, is also extremely rare. Every monk in the purple court has a transcendent position in his own sect.

This is also the reason why those big businesses are willing to sell this little girl's face.

And those who really entered the five paths also noticed the change of heaven and earth, and put their eyes here, but they found that there seemed to be some mysterious power obscuring the details of the battle, even the five paths of nature could not see the whole picture.

They can only feel the image of thunder sword cutting the sky and the earth, frost blade, wind and snow.

Over the imperial city of Lei Kingdom, it seems that there are two real sparrows in it, whistling and whistling, spitting out hurricane debris, tearing apart the chaotic world, and then creating greater chaos.

If it were not for China, the decisive battle would be recorded in the history of a state.

However, at the moment, the people of China do not know what kind of game is hidden in this battle.

……

The end of the showdown was an hour later.

Thunder and lightning no longer ring in thunder country.

The thunder in half the city was submerged by the snow in the other half.

Snowflakes floating, piled on the walls, roof tiles, streets, like beauty white head.

Shi Yu looks at the snow sword that pierces his chest. Every word is very difficult.

"After killing me... Will you... Kill her?" Shi Yu asked.

Xueyuan said calmly: "you will not die, you will be reborn in the kingdom of God, but if you lose to me, you will not be reused by your mother."

"Why?" Shi Yu is puzzled.

Xueyuan said with a smile, "do you not know why you failed or why I came to kill you?"

Shi Yu looked at her suspiciously, her lips trembling in the cold, ice and snow covered her body, spread into a white suit.

Xueyuan looked at her and wiped the snow off her shoulders. The girl's mouth was filled with endless sadness: "good sister, in fact, we are all poor... We were born to be the foil of another person. Can you be reconciled? Can you? I'm not reconciled... I want to know who that little girl is and why she can let her mother give her the Phoenix pulse which is closest to rosefinch! "

"Mother... Mother? She... "Shi Yu didn't want to die with confusion.

Xueyuan knew what she was going to ask. She said with a smile, "do you think you have destiny? Oh, we are so hard, but what we want to become is another person's grindstone. All this will be hard to reverse after we return to the kingdom of God. Fortunately, I got a chance... I want to show my mother who is her best daughter

Xueyuan's laughter became more and more arrogant, and the wind and snow all over the sky seemed to gush out of her mouth.

She continued: "I should have gone straight to Nanzhou to find her, but after all, it's a long way to go. Let's see your sister first."

Shi Yu kept coughing blood, and she was unable to think about those complicated problems.

What she can feel most intuitively at the moment is the strength of each other.

She clearly thought that she was invincible in the same situation, but she didn't know why, but she was not the girl's rival at all.

"You... Why are you so strong?" That's what she wants to know the most.

Snow kite did not answer, she just smile.

Shi Yu doesn't know if it's an illusion. She sees tears running down the corner of Xueyuan's eyes.

Then, she saw a clever white cat running across the snow. Her blue eyes were staring at her, and there was no footprints of the kitten on the snow.

Shi Yu knows that this is not an illusion.

Before death came, the girl's sea of knowledge was turning rapidly. She was as clear as a flash, staring at Xueyuan, spitting blood and trembling: "you... You betrayed your mother... This... This is white..."

She will never be able to say the last word.

The wind and snow covered her eyes.

"Alas." Xueyuan sighed. She looked at the white cat behind her and said, "what are you doing out there? I want to talk to my sister a little bit more. "

She looked at the girl's fallen body in the snow and picked a piece of purple and blue frost feather from her eyebrows.

She said in a soft voice: "when I see you again in the kingdom of God, I don't think you will remember me, but don't be afraid, my sister will treat you well at that time..."

Now, she has to show her strength to her mother.

It's the only way she can get rid of her destiny.

……

……

Ning Xiaoling's letter didn't go out.

The wind and snow swept over the fields.

Xueyuan steps on the sword and falls, holding a letter in her hand. She unfolds the letter and reads it. The ink on it is not all dry.

She looked at the girl in the white skirt and said with a smile, "I have sensed the familiar atmosphere in the city before. I never thought that you really have something to do with her."

Ning Xiaoling stands in the sudden arrival of the wind and snow, as if facing the enemy.

He said that Mr. Ling was in front of her.

Looking at the tall woman, Xueyuan shook her head and said, "don't worry, I don't kill people. I just want to ask some questions."

Said Mr. Ling coldly: "we are the people of the ancient lingzong."

Xueyuan was not afraid at all and said, "I don't care where you are from."

She now behind the master, which is the world clan can compete?

Ning Xiaoling and Mr. Ling have not come to the purple court. They can't be the girl's rivals.

The wind and snow formed a field.

The snowflakes in the field are finely disassembled, and they are pieced together and extended to form fine needles one by one.

Snow kite sits on the sword like a swing.

"Next, I'll ask you a few questions and answer them truthfully. If you don't answer, every time I ask, there will be a needle in your body. " Snow kite looked at his slender fingers, said leisurely.

Ning Xiaoling has already pulled out her sword, but with her swordsmanship, she can't break the snow cage at all.

The needle awn made of snow is getting closer and closer.

Mr. Ling is also under siege. She wants to send a signal for help, but her limbs are frozen stiff.

"The first question. What's the name of that woman? " Snow kite asked.

Ning Xiaoling didn't pretend to be stupid either. She knew that she must have asked Zhao xianger. If it's anything else, she doesn't know the current situation, but sister Xiang'er is different. She knows that sister Xiang'er's name is implicit. Every little bit of this bad woman knows, sister Xiang'er's chances of winning are less.

She clenched her lips and said nothing.

Xueyuan asked again. Ning Xiaoling did not respond.

A needle is missing.

Ning Xiaoling broke out a sad cry in her throat. She leaned over and knelt on the ground with her knees covered.

It's not the pain of the body, but the pain of connecting the spirit and tearing the heart!

"The second question, when you met her, what was your state? Look at this letter... You call her sister? Tell me her story. " Snow kite road.

Ning Xiaoling covered his knee, trembling voice but firm way: "I won't tell you."

They used to be elder martial brothers. Sister Xiang'er and master are taking care of themselves... Now it's my turn

Click.

Another snow needle went in.

Ning Xiaoling kneels on her knees, her face twisted with pain. Her tiny body trembles like a dragonfly. The chill can't numb her pain, instead, it enlarges the pain. She just feels that on her knee, a bird with a sharp beak is pecking her, it pierces her flesh and bones, and plunges into her bone marrow

"The third question..."

Snow kite asked.

In the field of wind and snow, the girl's scream is constantly ringing, and it's very sad.

"The seventh question..." Xueyuan glanced at her. She saw that the girl had fallen to the ground and her body was twitching.

But she still said nothing.

"Well, it's not a sister, but it's closer than our sister." Xueyuan laughs sarcastically.

But she felt no pity.

After all, she even killed her own sister. This outsider who dares to tell the truth will be tortured to death.

"Seventh question." Snow kite even lazy to make up a problem, she raised her hand, snow needle stab again.

But the needle stopped in front of the girl.

Time seems to have solidified.

Snow kite looks shocked.

In an instant, the field of snow was torn to pieces, and a dark sword came through the snow, reaching to my brow

The speed of that sword can't be described by words. It seems to slide on the plane of time, and it comes to us in a twinkling of an eye.

At the peak of the purple court, the invincible snow kite had a feeling that there was no escape.

Who is it? How could the guru master arrive at this time? As death approached, the cat barked. The field of time congealed was cut a gap, and the white cat grabbed the back neck of Xueyuan and ran away quickly. A drop of blood fell from the center of Xueyuan's eyebrow. If it's a little later, she might be killed here... Of course, she won't really die, but it will be extremely troublesome. The white cat walked away with her in its mouth. At the end of the line of sight, she saw flying silver hair Mr. Ling knelt down and looked at the woman with black robes and silver hair in front of him. He said respectfully, "may I ask your benefactor's name? Our ancient lingzong will be in the future... "The woman put up her hand and interrupted her words. She turned around with a wooden painted fox mask on her face. She looked at the girl convulsing on the ground, and her eyes showed a look of appreciation. The woman said calmly, "I'm just passing by here. I can't stand such bullying." She didn't cheat. The woman held out her hand and picked up the little girl's minibus. Looking at her beautiful face, she felt that it was pleasing to the eye, so she held her eyebrows with her fingers. The power of time is attached. Ning Xiaoling feels as if a hand is gently touching her, the pain is rapidly away, and the ice and snow in her bones are slowly melting. But she still couldn't make any effort“ Thank you... Thank you for your kindness. " She struggled and said softly. When the woman looked at her for a while, she always felt a strange smell in her body. "What's your name?" she asked casually Ning Xiaoling calmed down and replied: "younger generation... Younger generation Ning Xiaoling, the age of thousands of generations." Women are not interested in the word "age"... Ning Xiaoling can't see her face. If she can see it, she will find that the benefactor's expression is very strange. She struggled to get up and wanted to thank the benefactor. But the benefactor got up and left. Before leaving, the benefactor seemed to say a very strange word gently: "it's Ning, it's small... Alas, it seems that I saved a bad girl." Huh? Bad girl? What's wrong with me? Ning Xiaoling's innocent face wanted to explain, but the shadow of black robe and silver hair quickly disappeared in the sight（ The number of words exceeds the budget. I'm a little late. I'm sorry
