Beyond the Divine States

There was no candle in the hall of the underworld.

Ning long stood outside the door of the hall, looking at the figure with his back to him, but his slightly nervous mood relaxed.

Learning from Shao Xiaoli's experience and lessons, Ning Changjiu quietly opens the eyes of Taiyin and outlines the girl's snow-white figure in the sea of knowledge.

It's Ning Xiaoling.

At the third shift, Ning Xiaoling wears Lu's clothes meticulously. She stands upright and carries a scale. She should be preparing tomorrow's medicine for the master. Ning Changjiu doesn't know if she is aware of her arrival.

A light spot appeared on the moon, so the third watch got a more accurate timing. When he walked into the temple, from the perspective of the world, the light spot of the moon stopped there.

"Three money Angelica..."

Ning Xiaoling murmured softly and put down the scale.

In the aftersound of angelica, Ning Changjiu quietly walks into the hall and walks towards the snow-white shadow.

He saw a white porcelain vase on the table, in which were flowers of deep crimson color with delicate petals. I'd rather recognize that kind of flower.

He stood quietly behind her, looking at the girl's busy figure, the string bow at the end of her long hair flickering in his eyes.

Ning Changjiu can't help but recall her eyes when she woke up in another hospital and looked at herself for the first time. At that time, there were lights between them and the crackling sound on the candlestick.

"Elder martial brother, what are you doing?" Ning Xiaoling said suddenly.

Ning Changchang's face moved. He knew that his younger martial sister was urging him, so he came closer and quietly made the final confirmation: "what do you want me to do?"

Ning Xiaoling said: "call elder martial brother to come here, of course, to help me."

Ning Changjiu asked, "how can I help you?"

Ning Xiaoling put down her silver scale, opened the drawer and took out a brand new one.

She held the slender scale and handed it to Ning Changjiu, saying, "of course, with this?"

"With this?" Ning Changchang frowned and looked at the straight weighing body with accurate scale and appropriate length. Then he looked at Ning Xiaoling's eyes. He was not fooled by his younger martial sister. He immediately helped her weigh the medicinal materials together.

"And the prescription?" Ning Changchang asked.

Ningxiaoling show eyebrow slightly frown, quietly, she will take out the prescription, handed ningchangjiu.

Ning long accompanied her to weigh the medicine according to the dosage on the prescription.

"Why so many bags?" Rather long looking at a folding delicate medicine bag, asked.

Ning Xiaoling said seriously: "because you're going to leave soon. The master must follow you. After Xiaoling's death, you're all thumbs. You can't figure out the medicine."

Ning Changjiu said with a smile: "is Xiaoling clumsy? At the beginning, I poured tea for Lu's wife. The tea was poured out, and she guessed that I had tied the bandage for her. "

Ning Xiaoling weighs the medicine, his head is slightly crooked, and he falls into memory: "but that was four years ago. At that time, I was two years younger than my elder martial brother. Now four years have passed, I..."

"Of course, it's two years away." Ning Changjiu tapped her head and said, "at that time, Lu Yuanbai asked you who was good-looking when you married and xianger. You said they were eight years behind, and they would compare again after eight years. Four years later, the arithmetic level of young age is still as high as ever."

"Still two years away?" Ning Xiaoling blinked her eyes, but her pale pink lips filled with a smile. When she laughed, she showed her sharp tiger teeth, just like a little fox: "it doesn't matter. As long as she grows up, she can always catch up with her elder martial brother, right?"

"How can I catch up?" Ning Changchang thinks Xiaoling is stupid.

"I've been chasing you all the time, until I'm old, until I'm dead? "If you can't catch up, you'll always catch up..." Ning Xiaoling said: "of course, elder martial brother is an immortal. I'm afraid Xiaoling can't catch up with you all her life

Ning long looked at her eyes, listening to her words, the heart of a sour meaning surged up, he found that stupid is himself.

"Elder martial brother will never leave you." I'd rather say it seriously.

"Well." Ning Xiaoling nodded cleverly and said, "but... But what if I can't get out of the netherworld any more?"

Ning Changchang said, "I'll come to you like this now."

Ning Xiaoling said in a low voice: "but the three thousand world is in the West. We are across the whole Middle Earth. When elder martial brother goes to the west, he probably doesn't want to come back. I can't rob elder sister Xiang'er."

Ning Changjiu asked, "don't you have any trust in elder martial brother?"

Ning Xiaoling firmly shook his head: "No."

Ning Changjiu asked helplessly: "what does Xiaoling want to do?"

Ning Xiaoling's eyes moved lightly and said with a smile, "or will elder martial brother enter our underworld?"

"Ah? What's the problem

"Yes, it's too cumbersome, but I have to change my surname. In the future, my elder martial brother's surname will be Ning."

"... younger martial sister is really good at giving advice."

"That's right. I've arranged it all."

Ning Xiaoling lowered her head and laughed. She continued to prepare the medicine. The sleeves were a little long for her, and they got in the way of dispensing.

Rather long noticed, then roll up the sleeve for her a little bit, show white wrist.

Ning Xiaoling heart moved, but listen to Ning long said: "don't wear clothes that don't fit."

Ning Xiaoling bit his lip and said, "shut up. If you say more, Xiaoling will drive you out of Ning's house!"

Ning Changjiu said with a smile, "the older you grow, the fiercer you are."

"Always fierce!" Ning Xiaoling said: "you can see it later, elder martial brother."

They packed the medicine together. They packed more than 60 bags, enough to drink for two months.

"By the way, where is the master?" Ning Changchang asked.

"Master is sleeping in it." Ning Xiaoling said: "although the moon has come out, the master seems to be very tired."

Ning Xiaoling said so, and asked: "where has sister Jiajia and Siming gone?"

Ning Changchang said: "tomorrow they will officially enter the kingdom of Jinwu. I will... Let them have a good night's rest."

Ning Xiaoling said with a smile, "then elder martial brother came to me?"

Rather long helpless way: "if you ask again, I now put oneself out."

"Well, well, Xiaoling doesn't ask." Ning Xiaoling's eyes are full of smiles.

After packing the medicine bag, they went to the inner hall together and took a look at the master from a distance.

The night watchman is Jiuyou.

Jiuyou is sitting by the bed, looking at yechan palace, completely forgetting himself.

And ye Chan palace is lying on the bed, snow-white quilt covered half a young cheek, her arms holding a pillow, the body is more thin.

They backed out in silence.

"Go out for a walk." Ning Xiaoling said.

Ning long nodded and agreed.

They went to the netherworld.

The underworld has recovered a lot of vitality. The white bones on the roadside have disappeared completely and are covered with gray grass. In the meantime, many houses have been built, and the people of the underworld live in them.

They crossed the mountain and came to the black sea of flowers.

Ning Xiaoling slightly carried some loose skirt, under her skirt, petals swaying in the thin light, like the tide over her ankles.

"Is the underworld beautiful now?" Asked Ning Xiaoling.

"Yes, Xiaoling is really a sage king." I'd rather say it for a long time.

"Satire again?"

"No, really."

Ning Xiaoling and Ning Changjiu sat down in the sea of flowers.

"When will elder martial brother come back after leaving this time?" Asked Ning Xiaoling.

"I don't know." Ning long sigh: "I dare not give what promise."

"That..." Ning Xiaoling opened her mouth and said: "in a word, remember to come back, otherwise I will be sad."

"Well, I'll be back." Ning long nodded.

"Well, look, is that cat in front of you listening?" Ning Xiaoling suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure on the hillside.

Ning long also looked in the past and said: "it seems to be..."

When they got to the hillside, the fish king was languidly lying on a cliff, quietly enjoying the evening wind.

"Why are you here?"

The fish King opened one eye and looked at them.

Ning Xiaoling said: "I, my elder martial brother and I go out for a walk to find the inspiration to defeat the Dark Lord."

Looking at her clothes, the fish king felt familiar and asked, "this dress is not..."

"Shut up Ning Xiaoling interrupted: "this... This is a new dress. I bought it a little bigger by accident."

The fish King nodded to show that he really believed it.

Ning looked at it for a long time and said with a smile: "when I entered the kingdom of Zhao, I was not in high spirits? Why are you so scared when you meet baizang now? "

"The fish king said:" the monsters and beasts are born with mutual restraint. Rats fear cats, centipedes fear tigers, poisonous snakes fear eagles... Tigers are our kings, and cats fear tigers without shame. "

Ning Changchang said, "it's not like you."

"What do you think is like me?" said the fish king

Ning Changchang said: "I heard from my younger martial sister that when you were in the clothes Street, you lost all your demon power and fought for life until you closed your eyes."

"It's just cruel occasionally. Everyone has it." The fish King sighed. He opened his eyes like a dead fish and looked at the ancient land of the nether world. He said: "like the restraint of blood, there is another thing engraved in the bones, that is, old age and death..."

Ning Xiaoling looks a shock, looked at it, the heart gave birth to a bad premonition.

"Are you... Old?" Rather long after knowing to ask.

"I'm over 1700 years old. No matter which ethnic group I belong to, I'm very old... I'm very old." Fish King tired to lie down, said: "of course, for this age, you immortal immortal immortal, I'm afraid it is not aware of."

But at first it was just an ordinary demon.

No matter how legendary its life is, it is just an ordinary demon.

Over the years, it often feels sleepy and tired for no reason, and it doesn't know how long its body can support.

Ning Xiaoling was sad and asked softly, "listen, are you... Are you going to leave?"

"Not now, of course." The fish King yawned and said, "as long as I live well, it won't be a problem to live another hundred years."

Ning Xiaoling whispered, and she thought of Yu Jin again. Yu Jin... I don't know anything. Maybe she is looking for her lost sister and cat every day.

The fish king also thought about the past and said: "if it's just death, I should have died many times... I'm dead with the fish bucket by the pond on that rainy night, and I'm dead with the roar standing on the city floor. I just live to this day with their incomplete will."

Ning Changchang had a deep understanding and said, "I have a similar idea, but... What is the will to support you?"

Fish king thought about it and said, "maybe it's breaking the cage. This is my promise to a fish."

Ning Changjiu said: "there are countless cages among the spirits."

The fish king said, "just break the visible."

Ning long raised his head and said, "then there are only the last two."

One is the kingdom of God, the other is the Dark Lord.

"Well." The fish king looked into his eyes and said, "it's a pity that my ability is limited. I'm doomed to regret, but you must be different."

Ning long also looked at its eyes.

Fish King's hair is very long and white, looking very cute, but its pupil has been difficult to hide the sense of vicissitudes, but rather long clearly see, that tired eyes, there are still hidden light and not extinguished fire, they will be extinguished in the next hundred years, or will one day burst out again burning the world's bright light, no one knows.

"Thank you for your blessing."

Ning long sincerely said.

The fish king got up and walked forward along the ridge. "Don't disturb you. Don't worry. I'm a good cat. I'll keep a secret for you."

Ning Changjiu and Ning Xiaoling look at each other, smile at each other, and then stand on the ridge, waving goodbye to the fish king.

They walked through the black swaying sea of flowers, toward the more barren mountains.

The barren mountains are dead, with broken steles and green grass and wild flowers. Further on, there is a lake in the underworld. It is a black lake with no end in sight. It is said that it is also connected with the reincarnation sea.

Ning Xiaoling stood in front of the lake, arms open, as if to embrace the whole lake.

Ning long standing behind her, can feel the joy in the girl's heart.

At a certain moment, Ning Xiaoling suddenly put down her arm and said in a cool voice, "apprentice, what are you doing here as a teacher?"

Ning Xiaoling, dressed in the clothes of Lu's wedding, looks like a landing wedding. Looking back, she looks dignified and elegant. Her smile is full of the unique charm of little fox.

"What do you mean to do?" Ning long asked with a smile.

"Presumptuous!" Ning Xiaoling dignified way: "if you dare to step forward again, as a teacher, you will have to obey the rules of the school."

Ning long pretended to be afraid: "what rules?"

Ning Xiaoling said: "of course, it's the elder martial brother... No, it's the villain... Ah!"

Before the words came down, Ning Xiaoling exclaimed. She fell on the soft sand, and her face was so close.

"Younger martial sister, you stole master's clothes and pretended to be her. It's treacherous." Ning long seriously said, "I should punish my master for his absence tonight."

"Ah..." Ning Xiaoling reluctantly supported and said: "you, you villain, dare to do this... Hum, elder sister, elder sister will punish you severely."

The lake was beating on the beach, fluctuating.

Ning Changjiu and Ning Xiaoling are still entangled in the sand, and they are engaged in all kinds of nonsense dialogues.

Sometimes they are teachers and apprentices, sometimes they are brothers and sisters, sometimes they are brothers and sisters

For a moment, Ning Xiaoling's petite and moving body was picked up, and the lake water rose at the same time, like a hand, rolled away the clothes that fell on the beach. The snow-white clothes were like a piece of snow that never melted, and gradually disappeared on the lake.

Ning Xiaoling recalled the appearance of seeing elder martial brother for the first time and the rain in the imperial city.

But the difference is that she is no longer a girl hiding under the eaves of the rainstorm, listening to the falling rain with fear.

She seems to have become the master of the imperial city of the fox, the clouds all over the sky are her spread fox tail.

Let it rain a little bit more, a little bit more... Break through the roof tiles, break through the boards, break through the whole Imperial City, and pour out the girls who are hiding from the rain under the eaves.

A little bigger

The girl seems to be standing on the cloud of the rainstorm and crying. The rain and wind depend on her heart.

The whole world is changing with her mind. The black sea of flowers is swaying and singing in the strong wind. The black clouds in the sky are convulsing and turning into strange shapes. The water of the Black Lake sometimes rises and sometimes stops strangely.

She is the king of the underworld, and she is everything in the underworld.

Ning long also has a sense of achievement that he is prying the whole world!

When the lake comes in, the red color like stamens is diluted and swept away.

The underworld lights up gradually.

When the mind reaches the acme, the clouds in the sky finally converge into rain.

Torrential rain, pouring down, seems to break through the whole world.

The Black Lake sends back the clothes with her heart.

Two people lie on the beach, looking at each other's eyes, picking up the quiet joy.

"What a heavy rain, Xiao Ling is so terrible." Ning long raised his head, looking at the rain line falling, sighed.

"Don't laugh at Xiaoling..." Ning Xiaoling wears clothes and curls up in his arms.

While they were still talking, the sky suddenly darkened and the falling rain disappeared.

"Has the rain stopped?" Asked Ning Xiaoling.

Ning long did not answer.

Ning Xiaoling poked her head out of her clothes and saw a bluish gray face and numerous slender bamboo knots.

"This is..."

Ning Xiaoling was stunned to come back.

Umbrella!

An umbrella went over their heads.

"Marry... Why are you here?" Ning has been sober for a long time.

Ning Xiaoling only felt that her brain was blank and she wanted to faint.

Lu Jiajia, with an umbrella, looked down at the figure on the beach. She looked at the white dress, frowned and asked, "this dress looks familiar. Did you buy it at a young age?"

Ning Xiaoling didn't know how to answer.

Ning long hesitated: "this is the wedding dress."

"Wedding dress..."

This pun made Lu's wife feel a little surprised, "hum, it's so clever!"

Ning long wanted to reply with the same idiom, but he didn't dare to.

After holding an umbrella in one hand and taking it in the other hand, Lu said, "it's one of the rules of Tianzong sect, but it's not allowed for disciples to talk about love. Have you forgotten?"

Ning Xiaoling suddenly realized: "Oh, so it's OK between teachers and apprentices!"

"Xiaoling!" Lu married a little annoyed.

Ning Xiaoling was aggrieved and said: "master, we have agreed privately... Why do you still come..."

"In private?" It's Ning's turn to be stunned for a long time.

How can you say hello in advance?

Lu married more angry, faltering: "I, when I say with you."

Ning Xiaoling said: "anyway, master has a promise first, you can't punish Xiaoling."

Lu Jia nodded and said, "I just said that it's not because of the punishment, but Xiaoling dares to steal master's clothes for stealing..."

"Xiaoling is wrong. Xiaoling doesn't dare any more." Ning Xiaoling surrendered immediately and got into elder martial brother's arms.

The rainstorm is abating.

Gradually the light came up on the horizon.

Ye Chan palace rises in clothes and looks at the front of the hall where the rain line falls.

After a long time, she saw three people coming back together.

"I have seen the master."

Three people politely gave a gift, ye Chan palace gently also a gift.

"Where have you been?" Ye Chan palace rarely asks questions.

"Understand the mind method."

"Look at the lake."

"Give me an umbrella."

The three said in a different voice.

In a slightly awkward atmosphere, they exchanged their eyes and glared at each other.

Yechan palace did not ask, she went back to the palace, looked at the calendar on the table.

Today is November 4.

"How long will it take for the final completion of Jinwu kingdom?" Asked Ye Chan.

Ning Changjiu said: "five days."

Ye Chan Palace said: "after that five days, we will start together and go to guhuang."

"Ancient Huang?" Ning long asked: "are you sure it's there?"

"Well." Yechan palace did not explain more.

After the moon showed some, her ability also recovered a lot, and she could see more things.

Since the moon opened a hole, the fifth elder martial brother obviously has a momentum. Every night, the moon will be brighter. It must not take long for the moon to see the sun again.

The changes were gradually erased, and everything slowly converged to the right track.

Ning long had a premonition that guhuang should be the final destination of this trip to China.

In the next few days, they seized almost every moment to practice. The territory of Jinwu Kingdom expanded towards the invisible boundary, and the red sun in the center transmitted the light to a farther place.

It was also very smooth to enter the kingdom of God.

The three characters of snow porcelain hall have been replaced. Simang enters into it and gradually establishes his perception with everything around him.

Lu Jiajia's palace is just built, but it is much more humble. It can only be repaired when there is enough time.

Although Lu Jiajia was dissatisfied, her palace was closer to the main one. Moreover, the status of vice monarch of the kingdom of God sounded stronger than that of a deity, so she didn't care much. In this way, they were closed in the kingdom of Jinwu. It's not long. They are one day ahead of the planned five days. The fourth day, night. Ningxiaoling to yechan palace boil medicine out, just see the front of the ridge line, ten thousand feet of golden light surge up. The sun seems to rise in front of itself. Ye Chan palace drank the medicine and walked out slowly, looking at the sun. Their eyes were golden. On the steps, Bai Zang, who has been playing with Jiu you for several days, also opens her eyes. She turns into a girl, and her silver melting skirt is also reflected in gold. Maybe... There is a chance? Baizang thought like this The speckled moon cuts into the world. In the endless ruins of guhuang, the old man with broken arms floats like a walking corpse. His body is full of black air, like a whole dark cloud. He kept the gesture of holding the sword, but there was no sword in his hand. He wandered in the ruins of ancient Huang, unconscious, as if looking for something, and as if waiting for something. Suddenly, he looked southeast. I don't know if it's an illusion. There's a beam of light... It's October 8. It's half a month before the disciples of the sword Pavilion go out of cave 73.
