Beyond the Divine States

In the night sky, the whole imperial city is very quiet.

In the past, the astonishing changes on the long street only caused riots in a small area, not far away. Many families are still immersed in the joy of the past. The corpses outside the national master's residence have been disposed of. After this battle, the killers on the list of assassins in the kingdom of Yao are all dead and wounded. It can be imagined that for a long time in the future, the killer organizations in the kingdom of Yao will be out of business.

The imperial city is very big, and the surrounding inkstone mountains are towering and square, like a giant hand holding up the ancient city.

Because of years of war, even in the Imperial City, there are not a few people who secretly move to other countries. Many big houses are empty. According to folklore, once the house is uninhabited, the ancient furniture will be charming. Therefore, for those old houses with rumors of being haunted, seals are usually pasted on the doors.

In the Imperial City, the footsteps of officers and soldiers sounded again. Now the owner of the imperial palace is Zhao xianger, and they are also under her command.

Although the order was the highest class A, it didn't mention too much key information. It only said that there was a fish left in the palace and they needed to search it with all their strength. Those empty houses naturally became the focus of the search.

Nowadays, there are not many soldiers available in the imperial city. Coupled with the whole day's rush, the fear in the heart and the physical fatigue weigh on them.

Everyone is waiting for the night to pass.

It's just less than 1:00, and the night has just begun.

……

……

Ning Changjiu didn't choose any empty house. He took Ning Xiaoling to sneak into the largest temple in the city. Today, because of the turmoil in the Imperial City, the temple was closed early. The main hall with the closed door was empty, and there was a faint sound of sweeping water outside.

There is a big Buddha in the main hall. The statue of the Buddha is golden and solemn. On the copper platform in front of it, there are four rows of candles. The candle light is cool and bright, reflecting the golden light of the old Buddha. There are about 64 candlesticks. In front of the Candlesticks is a incense table. On the incense table, there are some offerings and two colored porcelain statues of Guanyin. They are all kind-hearted.

On both sides of the Golden Buddha, there are many statues of gods in different shapes, but they are all skinny, with three heads and six arms, or holding magic weapons, or with a compassionate face. Now the hall is empty and silent, and the statues reflect the light of candles, which is very frightening.

However, the long-standing accumulation of Haoran Buddha light has a natural influence on the demons in the world.

Ning Changjiu shakes off a copper coin from his sleeve and puts it on the threshold. He goes to the temple to worship the Buddha and the God of rites. He kneels on the futon and simply worships.

The one on the threshold is the copper coin that Ning Qishui used before he died. This kind of copper coin is a kind of loose and refined thing, which can temporarily isolate a space, prevent ghosts and evil spirits from escaping in the house, and also prevent the invasion of Yin Qi outside.

Ning Xiaoling's delicate body is wrapped in a translucent white cocoon, and the illusory fox tail is hanging over her body. Her pretty face is extremely calm now, and her skin color has become very light. The green tendons and delicate blood vessels under it are faintly visible. The contradictory meaning of evil and holy also appears on the body of this 14-year-old girl, She was outlined as if she were a demon outside the world.

At the moment, she is trapped in the heart.

Her realm goes up too fast, and she jumps into the two realms of Xuantong and Xianxian. It's the shocking life breaking purple court.

So she lacks the experience of breaking the demons, because in essence, her mind is still just the 14-year-old girl. According to the normal speed, she should have left the imperial city and honed for another half a year before she could break the boundary. Now, with the help of Ning Changjiu, she has come directly to this boundary.

It is a game of questioning the heart.

Now Ning Xiaoling's cocoon clothes are getting thicker and thicker, and her vital signs are getting weaker and weaker, which shows that she is more and more trapped in this disaster.

Ning Changjiu took out two runes from his sleeve, one on Ning Xiaoling's cocoon coat and the other on his forehead.

Those are the two purple gold talismans that Ning Qinshui took out on that day. At first glance, the talisman paper was written by a real expert from the outside world. He admired the painting technique of Flowing Clouds and flowing water.

At that time, the two runes were the locks that sealed their bodies. Now Ning Changjiu secretly changed a few strokes and distorted the meaning of the runes. Therefore, the two runes became a bridge to communicate their consciousness.

Before Ning Xiaoling was possessed by the devil, Ning Changjiu said to her that many talismans in the world could be reversed by changing a few strokes.

However, it's very difficult to learn this technique. If there are some mistakes or errors in writing skills, the whole Fu will be out of place.

Ning long lit a stick of incense on the desk to record the time. Then he leaned back on the dark red wooden column of the main hall and quickly closed his eyes.

He linked Ning Xiaoling's consciousness with the help of these two purple and gold talismans.

He's in her heart.

……

It's an ancient city of snow.

Ning Long's consciousness seems to fall from the sky. In his field of vision, he overlooks a boundless border town. The wind and snow cover the field of vision. The thousands of people's Square, ancient pagodas, old tiles, wine flags and Bridge hurdles in the city are all thin white.

Those white like a blank pen, the whole city will outline the pattern of the general square.

Through the city and the river has been frozen on the ice, few pedestrians and horses on the street, snow over the place, mostly a Xinning.

His vision fell slowly, and finally fell to a street. There was a wine flag on his side, and the flag with a square wine character was frozen stiff. The sound of drinking in the house came noisily, and he didn't seem to care about the sudden appearance of a person on the street outside.

Anyway, many people die every winter.

Ning took a long look, only to see the people in the house wearing thin clothes, but each face with a happy look, as if wine can drive away all the cold, he just took a look, then walked towards the city.

This city should be Ning Xiaoling's hometown.

He didn't care about the noise of the world in the past, not to mention the false dream in the heart.

He needs to find Ning Xiaoling as soon as possible, then suppress her demon seed, and then cut off the demons for her.

After the disaster, it is also the most vulnerable time for the demon species to sleep. This is the best time for him to deduce after countless calculations.

But the city is so big, where can I find a little girl?

Ning has not been in a hurry for a long time. He is not in a hurry and slow step. His consciousness spreads out slowly, slowly perceiving the frozen city.

After this long street, there is a stone bridge. When you stand on the stone bridge, you can see a large number of bungalows and an eye-catching ancient tower. They do not seem to be illusory, but also have the ancient simplicity left by history.

If you look farther away, you can see many places in the city, still covered with untouchable fog.

That is the lack of Ning Xiaoling's memory of this city.

Walking along the long bridge, there are more and more people in the street. The merchants on both sides of the road push the stalls, look left and right, and yell from time to time. The woman who dyed the colored silk clothes holds an umbrella, and the delicate laughter rings in her ears. The horse carrying the goods slowly runs over the street, leaving two long and deep ruts on the snow street.

Ning long eyes on their faces, and then quickly moved away, he vaguely felt that there was something wrong in the world, but he could not find the root of the problem for a while.

He went on, and finally, in front of a shabby flat house, he saw a little girl.

The little girl, wearing an old jacket, fetched water from the ancient well, carried a bucket, and walked in the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Several little boys surrounded her.

Then he saw that the little girl fell to the ground and the water in the bucket turned out. She got up from the ground and yelled at the boys who were taller than herself. She rolled up her sleeves and beat them. Of course, the little girl couldn't beat them. She only relied on a fierce force. She knew that if she didn't do anything, they would only make it worse next time.

Then she fell to the ground again and again, but still staring at them fiercely. The little boy's laughter echoed around, and it was very happy.

Ning long looked at the little girl's dark face and confirmed that it was still not Ning Xiaoling.

He didn't do anything. It's a mirage of the devil's heart, and it's something that has happened. Even if he wants to help the little girl move the water back to the house, he still can't change anything that has happened in the long time.

This is the dust blowing in front of him. Even if he is lost in his eyes, he can only be regarded as a thin cloud passing by.

He went on.

The city is much more lively than expected, but the heavy snow shows loneliness, which is the thin ice layer on the bustling city.

Further on, there is a magnificent mansion. The crimson door is closed, and there are two majestic stone lions at the door. Inside the high courtyard wall, you can see the carved wooden windows and the cornices of the painted buildings.

But Ning Changjiu knows that Ning Xiaoling has nothing to do with it.

Because he could see that under the cornice and carved railings, there was an empty fog.

Because across the high courtyard wall, even if Ning Xiaoling stands on tiptoe, she can only see those things. For those things, they never exist in her memory, because there is always an unattainable courtyard wall between her and such a mansion.

He moved on.

Silent snow, covering the ancient city, is like a girl's growing cocoon clothes.

He gradually found out what was wrong with the city. Although most of the trees in the city were withered, many of them would find that under the snow, there were fresh shoots.

On the other hand, many pedestrians in the street are wearing thin spring clothes, as if they can't feel the cold.

Now this ancient city, it should be winter has passed, spring is blooming.

Many people didn't even notice the snow.

Because this is the snow in Ning Xiaoling's heart.

It's all in the air.

Ning has been looking for a whole circle in the city for a long time. Those places covered by fog can't be touched and can't go deep. Other places have left his footprints.

But he couldn't find Ning Xiaoling. At last, he went back to the mansion, looking at a pair of copper rings on the door and thinking. After a while, the door suddenly opened and four people came out with a sedan chair. The cold wind blows the curtain of the sedan chair. It is a little girl's face carved with powder and jade（ I'll give you more
