Beyond the Divine States

In the twinkling of an eye, autumn rain began to fall in the ancient lingzong, which had just returned to the sky.

The white mist spread on the roof tiles. In a hazy place, Ning Changjiu and Bai Zang crossed the Tiesuo bridge across the lake and came to the Jiuyou hall.

They step into the light curtain and plunge into the darkness. After sinking, they come to the ancient nether world.

Ning Xiaoling is waiting for them at the door.

The Youming temple is too big, so it looks desolate. Around the front hall, a faint moon shadow appears in Ning's eyes for a long time.

In the couch of the netherworld temple, the gossamer halo floats lightly, giving people the illusion of being in the Guanghan immortal hall.

Ning long stops after walking in and looks into the house.

The bed is so vast that it looks like a vast expanse of white snow. Yechan palace has been sitting up on the bed with her back on the cotton pad behind her. She looks thin, like the state when the moon is the thinnest.

Even so, the girl still has an indescribable beauty. When people see her, they can't think of anything else except the shock and pity of beauty.

Yechan palace has woken up, the moon branch is beside her, still covered with thin frost, but the original ice has melted away. The golden black, which is the greatest credit, is wrapped in a quilt, standing on one side, numb and shivering, which is very abnormal for it as a symbol of the sun.

Ning long hand, Jinwu immediately fly back, escape also like to drill back to the purple house.

"I have seen the master."

Ning had a long salute.

On one side, Lu Jiajia and others saluted together. Only baizang raised his head haughtily. Behind baizang, Jiuyou poked out a head and looked at it curiously. Then her eyes were stuck by the shadow of the moon for a long time.

Ye Chan palace looked at them and her tiny hands. She was not surprised at her own changes, and there was no extra look in her eyes.

She took the moon branch, gently wiped the thin frost on the moon branch, and said thanks to them.

As a result, the netherworld temple was busy for a few minutes, and people shuttled between them and began to take care of the master's daily life together. However, ye Chan palace had been alone for a long time. Although she knew that they respected and loved her, she was not suitable for the real stars and the moon.

Yechan palace refused their good intentions, supported her weak body and tried to stay alone.

She sat on the edge of the bed, her small white feet were far away from the ground, so she jumped down when she got out of bed.

Yechan palace body landing, legs and knees are bent down, hands on the ground, body shaking for a while before finally standing straight.

"Master... How are you?" Lu went to help immediately.

Ye Chan palace calm way: "I'm ok, the moon is still, I won't die."

She distinguishes whether there is something or not on the basis of life and death.

Looking at her feet on the ground, Siming turned his head and said, "Xiaoling, is there any extra clothes in the hell hall? Bring some for the master to avoid catching cold. "

"Catching cold?" Ye Chan palace is a little strange to this word. She looks like a delicate flower. She shakes it slightly twice, and then whispers, "I'm not human. How can I catch a cold?"

When she said this, she held laurel in her arms.

Ning long thought of the past memory, he already knew that master is the embodiment of laurel, laurel is the only cohesion of the sacred tree, and she is also the Immortal King of the sacred tree. However, although the divine body is extremely noble, the master's appearance at the moment looks completely sick.

Siming's attitude was also very firm. She quickly stepped forward and directly picked up the extremely light body of yechan palace. When they went together, this scene had appeared many times, so Siming's movements were also very skilled.

She picked up yechan palace and touched her hands and legs. Her delicate skin was as cold as ice.

She frowned and immediately told Ning Xiaoling to look for clothes.

Yechan palace is still like a cold beauty, but now too weak, no resistance, can only really like a little girl, at the mercy of adults.

People's enthusiasm is also quite high.

Jiuyou's collection of clothing styles is very rich, we chose together.

Ning Changjiu has no say in this, so he sits beside the bed with Ye Chan palace and whispers the recent situation of these days.

"Well, that's about it... The kingdom of Jinwu has been completed. I took charge of the Kingdom, but I didn't get the power of emperor Jun's" Changming ". I don't know what else is missing." Ning Changchang said, "I know the master's intention to kill me."

"Do you have a good heart..." yechan palace whispered.

Ning long doubt way: "master also don't know why want to kill me?"

Ye Chan Gong said: "that's me eight years later. How can I know what I'm thinking now?"

She said that, but added softly, "but I will never kill you."

Ning Changjiu said, "I believe in master."

Ye Chan palace is sitting on the edge of the bed. Her straight swan neck is exquisite. Her head is slightly down. She thinks about it and says, "you can't get the power of Changming. It's probably because you are not complete now."

"Incomplete?"

This concept is a bit vague, rather than a breakthrough point.

"You may need to make up for your destiny." Ye Chan palace explained: "in a sense, you don't belong to people in this world. If there are countless lines in the world, you may have finished jumping between the lines, and these lines... May be at a certain node and end up as one."

The line of the world?

Ning Changjiu could not understand this saying and asked, "where will that node appear?"

Ye Chan Gong said: "I don't know, but I have a hunch that when you get your own bow, your destiny will be made up."

Get your own bow

As for the so-called bow, Ning Long's heart has only a general intuition.

Ning Changchang said: "by the way, I peeped at the secret master when I fought with the sword sage."

Ye Chan palace looked at him and asked, "how do you feel?"

Ning long tried to use a few words to deconstruct the feeling at that time: "dark, sticky, terrifying, countless double swirling eyes, endless behemoths."

Ye Chan palace quietly listen, wait for him to finish, just gently open mouth.

"In fact, in the past, a large number of monks have tried to perceive it." "Most of them think that the Dark Lord is a ghost," yechan Palace said

Ning long agreed with this view, but still wondered: "but how can there be such a big ghost in the universe?"

Ye Chan palace looked up at the dome of the hell palace and said, "there are many things in this world. Obviously, there are many evidences in front of us. People will still be blinded by their intuition."

Ning long puzzled.

Ye Chan palace looked at him and asked, "where do you think the hell palace we are in now is located?"

Ning long frowned and said, "of course, it's at the bottom of Jiuyou hall, in the underground spring."

Ye Chan palace stretched out a tender finger, pointed to the back hall, and said: "what is the connection between this hall door?"

Ning Changjiu replied, "the reincarnation sea... Is the Hui sea."

Ye Chan palace asked, "where is the sea of ruins?"

Ning long also realized that something was wrong, "heaven."

Ye Chan palace asked: "why is there a gate connecting the heaven in the temple buried deep underground?"

Ning long thought that this was a strange spatial structure, but now I think about how far away heaven and earth are. Even the Cologne, who has the power of space, can't fabricate a permanent gate connecting the two worlds?

In the past, when he was thinking, he subconsciously avoided the most direct possibility.

"Do you mean that this ghost temple is actually located in the space close to the sea of ruins?" Ning long suddenly wake up.

Ye Chan palace nodded gently.

When they enter the light curtain, their senses will turn upside down imperceptibly. The so-called falling is actually rising. Now, they are standing upside down in the sky. This posture is very strange, but the people in it are unaware of it.

Ning long finished his surprise and asked, "what does this have to do with ghosts in the universe?"

Ye Chan palace was silent for a long time before she began to speak. If what she said is true, what she said can be said to be fate: "outside the sky, many stars breed powerful gods. Since they can breed gods, how can you be sure that stars have no ghosts?"

……

The dead

The ghost of the stars?

They have long been used to the ghosts or spirits after death, but can stars, which are so huge, have souls after death?

The concept was so big that he never imagined it.

Ye Chan palace seems not to want to continue on this topic, she suddenly said: "the sword saint should not be dead."

Ning Changchang said: "his body has been corroded by the Dark Lord, and I have cut it to the bone with my sword. Even if he is alive, it should be a remnant candle in the wind."

Ye Chan palace gently shook his head: "never underestimate our enemies."

Ning long um a, just now they discussed the problem also told ye Chan palace.

At the beginning, Ning long met the mysterious old man in the temple. It was very clear that this matter was far away. They also discussed this matter, but they did not come to a conclusion.

Because even she can't peep into what happened in Luoshu across the whole world.

"Is that so..."

Ye Chan palace was also surprised.

The historical figures in Luoshu soar from Luoshu to the outside world... This is really unheard of.

In the interval of their conversation, we have chosen warm clothes to exchange for them. Of course, these clothes are also mixed with their own aesthetic.

Ning was banished to one side for a long time, turned his back, closed the power, and was not allowed to peep.

He was also very polite, so he sat quietly, listening to the conversation behind his ears.

"Master is a Moon Fairy. How can you wear the same black skirt as you?" Lu Jia asked.

"Black skirt is the best to absorb temperature. Master's body is cold, so he should be." Simang popularized the knowledge of heaven and earth rules for marriage.

"I think the black dress looks good, too." Nine you weak road.

"And the belt?"

"Of course, you need the belt, and you need to tie a big bow at the back of your waist. That's where the soul lies!"

"Master's feet are so cold." Ning Xiaoling worried.

"Here are white cotton stockings, well... Just knee high."

"This, isn't it?" It seems to be the voice of the teacher's protest.

But the voice of yechan palace was weak, and it was obviously reduced to the situation of being manipulated by others. The sound of dismantling clothes and skirts sounded. Then, the women seemed to see the most beautiful thing in the world. The voice of exclamation and cool breath almost sounded at the same time.

"The master is also..." Shao Xiaoli exclaimed.

"What's the fuss? The goddess should be perfect. " Simang said lightly.

"Who said that?" Lu and Ning retorted with one voice.

The rest of the people lengthened their tone and seemed to know something.

"Hum..." Ye Chan palace looked slightly cold, snorted and said: "you... Hurry up."

"Well, it seems that master can't wait." Siming said with a smile.

"When the master recovers, he will be the first to arrest you." Lu's marriage is cold.

"It will look better if you wear this here..." Shao Xiaoli is most attentive and seems to be taking care of her own flowers.

When Ning long turns back, they have packed everything. Ye Chan palace is still sitting on the edge of the bed, but her clothes are no longer plain.

She was wearing a black skirt, covered with white yarn, the color of the band was crimson, tied with a big bow at the back of her waist, her long hair was combed neatly, with silver crown like decoration, and her slender legs were covered with snow colored cotton stockings, which were close to the skin, revealing a soft texture.

She is no longer like the goddess of the moon, but more like the spirit of the stars.

We all looked at yechan palace, and it took a long time to recover.

Ye Chan palace didn't care much about her dress. She looked at Ning Changjiu and said calmly:

"Continue to tell me the story of the old man in the temple. I want to know more details. I think it will be very important."

After the relaxed atmosphere, everyone looked serious. Together with Siming, Lu Jiajia recounts the scene at that time.

Ye Chan palace listened quietly.

They didn't see many pictures, and they finished in a few words.

"Didn't the sage say not to fly? Those who ascended like the Dragon feeder also failed. Why did he miraculously leave Luoshu? " The more Siming thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

The people in Luoshu are not real historical figures. They are just countless spirit of books, who play characters and interpret history.

Of course, as the spirit of books, some of them know the truth of the world, but most of them don't know it.

Like people who want to be immortal, Shuling also wants to leave Luoshu's sky and go to the outside world.

But they are only interpreting their own destiny in history.

They are doomed to failure in history.

Only the old man in Ji'er mountain is an exception. Can we say that 500 years ago, there was an old man like this who successfully soared? Is his success a coincidence? Where did he go?

Lu said: "the sage also said that feisheng was a fraud. Does he say that he saw through the fraud?"

Ning long listened to their description, but shook his head and said: "the old man was crazy when he was flying up. He felt that his favorite theory did not match the rules of the world. Between the ugly but right and the beautiful but wrong steles, he should choose the latter and intend to die, but..."

Ye Chan palace then said: "but heaven and earth have recognized his Tianbei."

This sentence is very common, but after careful thinking, their knowledge of the sea seems to have been baptized by thunder.

The old man's suicide ascent succeeded.

That means his monument is right.

But if Tianbei is right, it means that the law of the world is wrong?

The world can maintain such a coordinated operation by the accumulation of one law after another, and Tianbei is an in-depth explanation of these laws.

If the law is wrong, the whole world is wrong.

If the world is meaningless, what are they?

This idea is so frightening that they even hope that their understanding is wrong.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Yechan palace from the bed gently fell to the ground, snow-white cotton stockings fell to the exquisite embroidered shoes, black skirt soft to move, the big bow will be the waist arc outline exaggerated.

She didn't say any more thoughts, just said: "I want to go to reincarnation sea to have a look."

Ning Xiaoling worried: "there are many soul swallowers in the samsara sea, master's current state..."

Ye Chan palace gently shook his head, said: "don't worry about me, I have discretion."

Xiaoling nodded.

Ye Chan palace slowly came to Ning Long's side.

She is very elegant, but she always looks weak.

She held out her hand and said, "Jinwu, lend me a hand."

Ning long know she is still cold, call out a good rest Jinwu, let it fly into the arms of yechan palace.

Ye Chan palace holding gold, such as holding a copper finch warm hand stove, slightly trembling body calm.

"Come with me, too." Ye Chan Gong said softly.

Ning long said.

Both Lu and Siming expressed concern and wanted to accompany them.

Ye Chan palace soft voice way: "I just confirm some things, soon back."

If the master insists, they will not insist any more.

Ning Xiaoling opened the door of the back hall. Under the cover of sunlight and moonlight, Ning Changjiu went to the reincarnation sea with Ye Chan palace.

……

This is the first time Ning Changjiu has been alone with his master.

Although she was the wife of her previous life, she had been a teacher for two generations. He always had a deep respect for yechan palace.

Yechan palace did not deliberately carry any shelf, she is petite, holding Jinwu, looks like a girl running away from home with a velvet doll.

"What do you want to confirm, master?" Ning Changchang asked.

"I want to see the Devourer." Ye Chan Palace said.

"Spirit swallower..."

Ning Chang, in his coma, unconsciously drifted into the sea of samsara and tried to communicate with many soul swallowers.

"What do you want to ask them?" Ning Changjiu said.

Ye Chan palace closed her eyes, gently shook her head and said, "just look at them. I want to know why they exist."

Ning Changchang once discussed this problem with Lu Jiajia. At that time, he gave the view that the flesh of the demon clan was much harder than that of the human race, and the way of heaven could not wring them out. So he threw them into the sea of ruins to live and die on their own.

He talked about this point with yechan palace.

Ye Chan palace gently shook her head and said, "I don't think so."

Ning Chang asked her for her opinion.

Ye Chan Palace said: "you still underestimate the power of the Dark Lord. The physical gap between human and demon is huge for us, but for the Dark Lord, it's just the difference between an ant and a beetle that we crush. It's not too different."

Ning frowned for a long time, and became curious about the meaning of the existence of the soul swallower.

"But they can't communicate at all. How can we find out?" Ning Changchang asked.

"No need to communicate." Ye Chan Gong said, "do you know how people first understood animals?"

"How to understand?" Ning Changchang asked.

"Cut them open." Ye Chan Palace said.

After a pause, she said, "it's up to you."

Ning Changchang, as a close disciple, certainly can't let the master do these dirty work.

The two cruised for a while, but did not see the trace of the soul swallower.

"Reincarnation sea is too big, it also needs luck to find the soul swallowing people." Ning Changjiu said.

"Then you bring it in." Ye Chan Palace said.

"How to lead?" Ning Changchang asked.

"Well?" Ye Chan palace had a rare smile, with a clear smile: "listen to Lu Jiajia, aren't you good at fishing?"

Ning long thought of the past of the imperial city and laughed at himself.

You may be more suitable for bait than fishing.

He spilled the bait.

Bait is aura.

The aura filtered through like water. Soon, a big demon with four horns on his forehead floated over. These spirit swallowers were all in a state of great decline compared with those before him. They had no resistance in Ningchang's hands.

Ning long split his ferocious face.

The ghost body of the soul swallower split into two parts, and the ghost face twisted and separated, so the ferocious expression appeared funny.

Ye Chan palace holds Jin Wu in her arms and looks at the soul swallower who is split in two. Her pupils gradually turn into a soft moonlight color. She observes all the internal structures of the soul swallower, and her eyebrows frown slightly involuntarily.

Ning long cut this soul swallowing man according to the meaning of Ye Chan palace.

Soon, the original face of the spirit swallower was lost.

"Almost all of their internal organs were destroyed, leaving only one internal organ." Ye Chan Palace said.

Ning Changjiu also noticed that the organ looked like a shriveled ball.

He identified it by its location.

"Is this the sea of Qi?" Ning Changchang asked.

Ye Chan palace nodded and agreed with him: "this should be the sea of Qi of demons, but it seems that it has been transformed."

Although the sea of Qi of the soul swallower is shriveled, if it is filled up, it may occupy the whole internal space.

"Who transformed it? The secret master? " Ning Changchang asked.

"Maybe."

"What's the purpose?"

"Purpose..." Ye Chan palace pondered for a while, as if asking himself, "what are they called?"“ They... Swallowers? " I'd rather talk to myself for a long time“ Well Needless to say, Ning has understood her meaning for a long time: the soul swallower, as the name suggests, is the soul swallower. At that time, the spirit of the four sides gathered in the center, and it was only after several days of heavy rain that the spirit finally dissipated, which attracted the soul swallowers. The mind of the spirit swallowers has been blurred, and aura is their only desire. There are also some records in the past that when the monks broke through the robbery, Tianlei weakened the gap between the two worlds, and the soul swallowing people broke free from the sea of ruins and ate the monks directly. They are demons that specially devour aura, which is the origin of their name. However, it is obvious that the spirit swallowing people are just born with aura, not for a living. Because the estrangement of Xuhai can only be broken through by coincidence, and there are few records of monks being eaten. Ning Changchang, the soul swallower dissected at this moment, can't see any aura in his body“ They're more like containers. " Yechan palace came to her conclusion: "the container for Reiki."“ Container... "The sea of reincarnation is so vast that there are countless people who swallow souls for many years. So many containers... Ning Changchang is a little cold in his heart. He looks up at the sky, as if he is staring at the terror behind the scenes of a certain day“ What does it want to do? "
