Beyond the Divine States Chapter 180: : The first day and night
The strongest swordsman should always match the most beautiful woman.
Ki*Yuan thought this way when he walked through the spacious long street of Wangcheng in a black cloud-python-patterned clothes and a white jade belt.
He is the strongest swordsman in the royal family today, and recently, the fact that he wants to marry the first beauty in Yilou has spread throughout the entire royal city.
He wears a waist knife with dark gold blades, which is fastened around his waist with a lock. He rubs the scabbard made of monster scale skin, with a magnificent vigor, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised.
He is a swordsman in Xingyuan.
Xingyuan is an organization of the royal family. Only those who have successfully summoned spirits in Shiyuan can join.
He walked into the art building as usual.
The arrival of Kui Yuan caused a lot of turmoil in the building. The gorgeous women waved their handkerchiefs at him and smiled sweetly. Some young girls who were in love with each other were more embarrassed, holding their faces from a distance, looking at them, seemingly hopeful. He can look back at himself.
But Kui Yuan did not squint, and walked upstairs along the stairs.
Su Yanshu is recognized as the most beautiful woman in the Yilou and even the entire imperial city. She is a beautiful girl with a beautiful appearance, and the appearance of a red lacquered guqin always arouses pity. She used to be early when she was immature. It has a reputation, and now it is even more popular, and the dance of the brazier in the previous song house is walking on the tip of a knife, which has dumped the hearts of many people.
And she puts on her airs again, no matter how much she is and how much money she pays, she only plays the piano and hums for the person she likes, and invites them to the scene, even if the emperor is close to her.
At that time, Kui Yuan was the most popular person in the field battle outside the city. He personally killed the evil demon who had been blocking the road for more than ten years in the dark snow road, and opened a bright road. The royal family saw the white ice field for the first time.
When he came to the Yilou with high spirits, he was still wearing a battle armor and a **** net on his robe, and he was full of anger.
Su Yanshu didn't care about it, burning incense and playing the piano for him. When Kui Yuan opened the curtain, he was drunk when he saw the smiley face. This is the beginning of this story.
No one stopped Kui Yuan from going to Su Yanshu's house.
It's just that he didn't expect that there were other guests in Su Yanshu's house today.
That was a pair of girls and boys. He knew that girl. She was a little girl from the royal family. She chose Shao as her surname on the Chuwen Stone Tablet. She was quite talented on weekdays, and the boy next to her was very famous. look unfamiliar.
This boy is not very old, his face is beautiful, his white clothes are also very clean, and he wears a sword around his waist, which is a little broken.
Ki Yuan obviously disliked the appearance of other men in Su Yanshu’s house and said, "Who are you?"
Ning Changjiu turned his head and looked at the man with the sword in Yunmang's robes, without giving any explanation, and the silence seemed a bit provocative to Wei Yuan.
Shao Xiaoli looked at Su Yanshu anxiously.
Su Yanshu smiled, her fingers twitched the strings, the clear sound was like ice beads leaping against each other, Linlang was beautiful, her voice was peaceful and said: "This little girl Li is my friend, and she succeeded in summoning spirits yesterday. Today, I specially came to Yilou to see me, to report a happy event, Kui Lang don’t care about it."
Su Yanshu's voice always calms people's minds.
Ki Yuan looked at the boy and said, "Zhao Ling?"
He immediately remembered some rumors, looked at the sword on his waist, and said: "Are you a swordsman?"
Yesterday, Shao Xiaoli’s call for spirits caused a great sensation. Although this sensation was deliberately suppressed by the reference, it could not be transmitted overnight, but the great figures in the royal family have more or less. They heard that there was not much news about that strange spirit, but they heard that it was a man wearing white clothes with a rotten rusty sword on his waist, so he was called the Rotten Sword.
Hearing him say this, Ning Changjiu also guessed the origin of his name. He was satisfied with a sense of history.
The Spirit of the Sword Classic sneered and whistle: "Fortunately, there is no one called Iron Branch."
This is their mind-to-heart dialogue, and no one else can hear it.
Shao Xiaoli nodded quickly and said: "A long time no see, Hero Wei! Do you remember me? I also killed a lot of monsters in the previous battle."
Ki Yuan shook his head and said: "I don't remember the people behind."
Shao Xiaoli looked slightly embarrassed, she glanced at Ning Changjiu, and immediately said: "This is my god, and I may become one of you in the future."
Ki Yuan said: "Did you subdue him?"
Shao Xiaoli patted his chest and said confidently: "Of course, I spent the whole night yesterday, tempted, and tried every means to finally accept him as my god!"
After all, Su Yanshu, everyone in Fengchen, listening to these words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly aroused, and the hand that pressed the string inadvertently moved twice.
Ki Yuan looked at Ning Changjiu's composure expression, distrustfully said: "Little girl always deceives people, I don't believe you."
Shao Xiaoli snorted coldly and said: "I will show it to you."
Speaking, she turned her head, her confident expression suddenly became extremely pitiful, he looked at Ning Changjiu, winking, and Ning Changjiu sat in the chair and began to close his eyes and calm down.
"What's the matter?" Kui Yuan smiled and urged when she saw that she hadn't moved yet.
Shao Xiaoli turned his head and glared at him, coldly said: "What anxious, I have just summoned the spirit to establish a deed. I haven't had any experience yet."
No matter what Shao Xiaoli ignored, the dead horse became a living horse doctor. She grabbed a fruit from the fruit plate, put it on top of her head, and said, "I can control my **** to pierce my fruit with a sword, but it won’t hurt. To me!"
Speaking, she closed her eyes, pretended to recite a scripture, and said in a very vague tone: "Boss, please, boss, please..."
Ki Yuan and Su Yanshu looked at her with interest.
Finally, the little girl's piety moved the young god.
Kai Yuan's expression moved slightly, and he subconsciously pressed the sword around his waist.
Because the boy also put his hand on the sword.
There is a very important criterion for people in Xingyuan to act. One is not to despise anyone, and the other is that everyone except yourself can be regarded as an enemy. Although this one is usually applied outside the city.
The reason for Ning Changjiu's willingness to produce a sword is mainly from the pleading of the sword scripture and the king of blood feathers.
"Uncle Ning, please take out the sword, let this little girl stop chanting..."
Ning Changjiu is a little unhappy in his heart. He knows that Lu Jiama is waiting for him beyond the abyss, and now he should also find a way to get out of the city as soon as possible. What happened now is undoubtedly a waste of time for him.
He drew out the sword at will and stabbed it at Shao Xiaoli. Shao Xiaoli immediately closed his eyes. When he opened it, the fruit bones on the top of his head rolled down, with holes pierced by the sword.
Shao Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that he would say more about revealing the stuffing, and accept it when he sees it, and quickly said: "Thank you Sister Su for the hospitality. I will take my spirit to other places in the city!"
Said she bit the fruit in one bite, put Ning Changjiu's arm on the bracelet, pulled him up, and walked towards the door together.
Ki Yuan looked at their leaving back, facing the young man's sword that stabbed Guo Guo, gently shook his head, and muttered to himself: "The rumors really cannot be true."
……
Walking outside the house, Ning Changjiu easily freed Shao Xiaoli's arm.
"Is this the big thing you said?" Ning Changjiu asked lightly.
Shao Xiaoli lowered her head and apologized: "Sister Su is the best person to me besides the boss. She is better than my mother. She has been worried about me for calling spirits for a long time. Of course, I will report to her. Be safe, don’t be angry."
Ning Changjiu hummed.
Shao Xiaoli tugged at his sleeve and said: "Then we will pretend to sign a contract now. You can give me some face when we are outside. You can punish me whatever you want when you get home."
She raised her head and blinked coquettishly like Su Yanshu.
It's just that Ning Changjiu looked like a stone bodhisattva, and didn't respond to Shao Xiaoli's favor.
She is also not discouraged, feeling that feelings always need to be cultivated slowly.
She continued to search for the topic, and said: "Boss, do you have anything to ask me? I know everything, and I can say it!"
Ning Changjiu didn't speak at first, and when he was in a lonely place, he asked: "Do you know that there is a woman with silver hair and black robe in your city? Can you hear about her origin?"
"Black robe and silver hair? Woman?" Shao Xiaoli was stunned, his left arm was crossed under his chest, his right thumb was against his lips, his teeth were grinded, and after thinking hard, he said: "Perhaps the city has captured such alien species... "
"It's an individual." Ning Changjiu said. Shao Xiaoli fell into deep thought again, and said: "Why? I used to have a good position in the royal family. If there is such a big man, I must have seen it. Boss, where did you know?"
Ning Chang did not answer for a long time, and continued to ask: "Do you know the Star Spirit Temple?"
"Star Spirit Hall?" Shao Xiaoli was shocked again, and said bitterly: "I am an incompetent royal native..."
Ning Changjiu wondered, could it be that the woman who claimed to be the Star Spirit Temple was not a member of the royal family? Or is she a more secret existence?
Ning Changjiu thought of the silver hair.
He had also felt the sword intent of Kui Yuan before, and Kui Yuan's realm outside was also a strong man at the pinnacle of the longevity realm, and it was even more like a ceiling in this broken realm city.
If he could put the flag in the ice field, if the silver-haired woman made a move, she would have been able to set foot in the ice field in their mouths long ago.
Who is she? What was the side of last night for?
When he was approaching a crowded place, Shao Xiaoli stood up with his head high, and stepped a little faster to walk in front of Ning Changjiu, pretending that he had a high status in the house.
Ning Changjiu didn't care, and asked: "You have explored for seven or eight hundred years, do you have any clues about how to get out of this world?"
Shao Xiaoli helplessly said: "If you want to go out, there are only two ways, one is to go forward and the other is to go back! But the road behind us is blocked, Shi Yuan can only go out of gods, not people. Enter. So, we can only keep going forward, overcoming obstacles, and advancing forward until the end. It’s like life."
Shao Xiaoli felt that she had said it very well, but this self-confident remark failed to cause Ning Changjiu's reaction.
"Want to keep going..." Ning Changjiu nodded gently.
How did Mrs. White get out of here? Are they really in the same place?
Ning Chang thought about this for a long time, looking into the distance, hoping that the road at the end could give himself an answer.
Passing around an alley again, the palace is in the distance. Suddenly, there is the sound of gongs and drums in the palace. Ning Changjiu stopped to look and watched several people in white clothes carrying a wooden frame. The coffin went out.
"That's my mother." Shao Xiaoli said.
Ning Changjiu nodded.
Shao Xiaoli said: "If you weren't there, I would be the one who came out in seven days."
Ning Changjiu said: "You won't die, at most you will suffer a little bit of flesh and blood. That Su Yanshu will save you."
Shao Xiaoli's eyes widened, and her pace was a little slower. She looked at Ning Changjiu's back, a little scared and said: "You...how do you know everything."
Ning Chang did not answer for a long time, but just continued to ask: "When can I leave the city?"
Shao Xiaoli returned to God and immediately replied: "When the next open-field battle begins, I can go out with the Xingyuan team!"
"Xingyuan..."
"Well, it means to walk in the abyss. Inside are all royal people."
"When is the next time?"
"About seven days later, right?"
"Good."
"That's right!" Shao Xiaoli suddenly said: "If you want to join Xingyuan, there must be an assessment. Only when we meet the requirements can we join."
"Assessment? Is it difficult?"
"I don't know. About twenty descendants of the royal family, only one can join Xingyuan. Alas, I still feel pretty..."
"It sounds simple." Ning Changjiu interrupted her.
"You deserve to be the boss!" Shao Xiaoli's eyes lit up and he secretly admired.
Ning Changjiu walked towards the outside of the city and said: "You have been open to the field in these years. Have you left any books that record these? I want to see it."
"Yes!" Shao Xiaoli said: "There is a special library in the royal family, but you can only take out one book at a time, and you have to register your name, which is a bit troublesome."
"Where is the library?" Ning Changjiu asked.
Shao Xiaoli gave him a general direction.
Ning Changjiu nodded.
Shao Xiaoli looked at his calm face, feeling something bad in his heart.
On the way, Shao Xiaoli introduced him to some things about Broken Boundary City. Ning Changjiu listened absent-mindedly, constantly deducing in his mind the battle that took place between the electric light and flint last night, and the last time the prison brought him. The weirdness and contradiction made him vivid, but he couldn't think of the means to crack it.
Time came in the afternoon, Ning Changjiu felt a little tired, and after eating a little bit with Shao Xiaoli, he returned home.
After returning home, Shao Xiaoli’s arrogance fell suddenly outside, she closed the door and immediately apologized to Ning Changjiu for her rudeness in front of outsiders, and rubbed his shoulders and back. Soft words made him happy.
There are basically two people outside the house.
Ning Changjiu looked at her helplessly, not knowing what to say.
When Shao Xiaoli saw that he ignored herself, she thought he was really angry. She cautiously reached out her hand, like a hamster stretched out her paw to pinch Ning Changjiu's clothes, and said: "Boss, I can't help it either. Ah, the spirit of this city and the master must make an agreement, otherwise the king will be angry. If you feel unhappy, it doesn't matter if you hit me and scold me when you get home."
Ning Changjiu was too lazy to answer, and shook his head slightly, just wishing her to be quieter.
But Shao Xiaoli obviously couldn't realize this on her own. She lowered her head, thinking about something, gritted her teeth, went through the cabinet to find a whip, and said timidly: "This?"
Ning Changjiu remained indifferent.
Not discouraged, Shao Xiaoli found another shackle, holding it in both hands, and said pitifully: "Should I commit a crime and do meritorious service?"
Ning Changjiu held his forehead, a little headache.
Shao Xiaoli began to dismantle the candle in front of the spiritual table in his home.
Ning Changjiu finally couldn't help it, stopped her, and said, "What are you all?"
Shao Xiaoli was taken aback, thinking that he was asking about the origin of these things, and said: "These are the leftovers used by the former mother and the king!"
After speaking, she herself realized that something was wrong.
Ning Changjiu walked towards his room and said: "I want to be quiet for a while."
Shao Xiaoli took the board for rubbing clothes again, held it in both hands, and came to Ning Changjiu's face.
Ning Changjiu sighed: "No need to kneel, I'm not angry, I just want to be quiet."
Shao Xiaoli shook his head and explained: "Boss, I just want to wash your clothes."
"..."
Ning Changjiu’s ears rang out with the spirit of the sword scripture and the unbridled laughter of Jun Xueyu. Ning Changjiu was a little annoyed, but helpless, he had to wait silently for Jun Xueyu to find a new body, waiting for the golden crow to wake up. The spirit of the sword script suppressed it, making him unable to get out in a sea of anger on weekdays.
At that time, my ears might be quieter.
Shao Xiaoli is busy at home and looks like a housekeeper.
As for the bedclothes that her mother had used in her house, she has also been changed over and over again. The simple and elegant colors fit Ning's long-lasting aesthetic.
It's night in a blink of an eye.
Shao Xiaoli knocked on the door and asked: "Boss, are you there?"
"Yeah." Ning Changjiu replied.
Shao Xiaoli said: "Don't run around, Xiaoli please."
"Okay." Ning Changjiu was just picking up a naughty daughter.
Shao Xiaoli then went to bed contentedly.
Half an hour later, Ning Changjiu opened the door and walked out. He used the concealment technique and quietly came to Shao Xiaoli's room. He wanted to use the secret method of the door to make her fall into a deep sleep. Don't wake up this night.
He walked to Shao Xiaoli's bed.
He frowned slightly.
The weather is a bit sultry now, but she is tightly wrapped in the quilt, her white and slender body curled up inside.
Her hair is also scattered in a mess, obviously in her sleep, but her thin and curvy eyebrows are puckered from time to time, her eyelids are also trembling, and her porcelain-white skin looks unhealthy and there is no daylight. After the endless entanglement in her, her sleeping face still looked a bit quiet and beautiful.
Ning Changjiu drew a talisman in the sky using an imaginary painting.
"No...Don't..."
Before he fell the talisman, the girl's voice rang, but her voice was extremely soft, like a dream.
Ning Changlong's fingers paused.
"Don't... don't kill me... forgive me, mother... mother..."
"Hmm... mother..."
"Um... where are you."
"Don't kill me..."
The girl's body curled up tighter and tighter, her neck was tight, and her bones were clearly defined.
"Boss, I am..."
Ning Changjiu sighed, and instead of giving her a chance to finish talking about her dream, she dropped the talisman directly.
The girl calmed down and fell into a deep sleep, but she looked very fragile.
Ning Changjiu stretched out his hand, touched her neck, felt the cold temperature of her skin, and frowned.
He retracted his hand and tucked her quilt tighter, feeling a little tricky.
Ning Changjiu leaned down, neatly folded the clothes scattered on the floor, and placed them on the head of her bed before turning around and leaving.
He left the house, followed the instructions of Shao Xiaoli in the day, and sneaked into the library.
The library in the royal family is not large. Many of the books in it are isolated fragments found in the world outside the city. Many of them are very new in texture. They record the records of surveys. These books are placed separately. Easy to distinguish.
Ning Changjiu opened his sword eyes and began to read these books.
He reads books very fast, and the only thing that hinders him is the difference between this and some words in the outside world.
But after he got used to it, he quickly read hundreds of volumes of records.
These scrolls roughly record the types of monsters outside, their living habits, and attack methods. There are hundreds of types of monsters recorded on them, with strange shapes and some even subverting people’s imagination. Ning Changjiu is the most impressed. , Is a monster named "Chong Sui". It is said that it is the oldest and most mysterious monster they have encountered. It has appeared from time to time since five hundred years ago, but has not been killed or even killed. Complete appearance record.
After reading these for a long time, Ning had a general understanding.
Many of these things can be found in the outside world exactly the same, the only difference is their naming.
Ning Chang looked through many files, and then walked to the depths of the library.
In the depths of the library, there are several paintings of monsters, some with single horns and arms, some with blue teeth, and some with countless tentacles. Ning Chang looked at these scrolls for a long time and suddenly stopped.
There is a red line on the floor of the library.
On the edge of the red line is a dazzling "forbidden" word.
Ning Chang thought for a while, created a little light, and then used his reflection on the ground to display the water moon in the mirror, and sneaked in silently.
What did not disappoint Ning for a long time was that the internal books really recorded some different things, and even he was surprised by the contents.
In the darkness outside the city, there are still living people...
According to the records in these files, there is a person hidden in a deep valley outside the city, and many people who come out of that valley will die within a few years, and there is no reason for their death. Anyone knows that their bodies are also extremely complete, and there is no trace of injury.
That place was listed as a forbidden area, and when I went to survey, I tried my best to bypass the deep gorge.
But every few years, someone will sneak in there secretly, then come back, tight-lipped, and die shortly afterwards.
They even sent someone to investigate, but after that person came back, like everyone else, he didn't reveal a word about the things in the deep gorge.
And that person, listed as a much more dangerous existence than "heavy years", was named "Night Elimination".
"Ye Chu..." Ning Changjiu repeated his name in a low voice, and he wrote it down secretly. He vaguely felt that this name had a secret connection with him.
Finally, he found the relevant files about the ice sheet.
These are the latest things in the past two years. The distance from the imperial city to the ice field is very long. If you walk, you have to walk at least three days and three nights.
And on this road, every time a distance is passed, a fortress will be set up. These fortresses are connected to beacon towers. Looking down from above, they are like footprints on the wasteland, symbolizing generations. The footprints of the people in Duanjiecheng opening up to the outside world.
Now this footprint has stopped outside the ice field.
……
……
When Shao Xiaoli woke up, she rubbed her eyes, she rarely felt at ease, as if she hadn't slept so peacefully for a long time.
She always sleeps very lightly, and even wants to burrow in the bed for a while.
And she was surprised to find that her body, which was originally prone to chills, seemed to be much warmer today.
Her eyesight gradually became clearer from blurry.
She found that her dresses were neatly placed on the small wooden table beside the bed. These dresses were impeccably folded, like the metal block in front of the imperial city for observing the celestial phenomena.
Shao Xiaoli's heart suddenly picked up.
She grabbed her clothes and ran out.
"Boss!"
Shao Xiaoli ran out of the house and found Ning long lying in the yard as usual. She was relieved. Her voice softly said: "The boss came to my room last night... You also helped me fold the quilt. Woo, only the boss is the best."
Ning Changjiu closed his eyes and said nothing.
Shao Xiaoli put on the clothes and ran behind Ning Changjiu, Xihan asked Nuan: "Boss, do you have any needs today, as long as you say it, I will try my best to satisfy you, don't think I'm coaxing people, I'm a royal family Miss, she has a lot of power!"
Ning Changjiu said: "Can you wear clothes to sleep in the future?"
Shao Xiaoli lowered her head shyly and said: "You...you all..."
Ning Changjiu regretted saying this.
And beside his ears, the spirit of the sword scripture and the king of blood feathers suddenly exploded the pot.
Mr Xueyu shouted: "Uncle Ning, can you do it well next time, let me out, I...I'll just take a look."
Ning Changjiu flicked the scabbard with his fingers, shaking the **** gentleman hidden in the remnant sword into a daze.
The spirit of the sword scripture also said suddenly: "No wonder you always close your eyes in the morning, heh, I am not interested in this kind of yellow-haired girl. It's just that you don't look at it yourself in order to prevent me from seeing it. What good is it for you, not as good as us..."
Ning Changjiu interrupted: "The one who approaches the ink is black, and I will talk less with that red-headed chicken in the future."
Shao Xiaoli took care of the hem of her skirt, thought for a while, and still told the truth: "I...I always feel that my clothes are going to kill me, so I dare not sleep in them."
Of course this is impossible, but Ning Changjiu remembered the physical condition he had explored last night, and didn't know how to be relieved.
Shao Xiaoli went back to the house silently and started cooking for him as usual.
I have to say that Shao Xiaoli's food is much more delicious than Zhao Xianger's.
After eating, Ning Changjiu practiced sword in the yard for a while.
Shao Xiaoli held his face and looked at the back of Ning Changjiu practicing sword from a distance, very satisfied, but after a while, the smile on her face solidified and turned into shock.
"Old...Boss! You make but..." Shao Xiaoli paused and said in shock: "Bei Ming Divine Sword!"
Ning Changjiu nodded.
Shao Xiaoli's eyes widened and said: "This is only one day, you have practiced my unique skills to this point! I...I have lived for more than ten years!"
Ning Changjiu said: "The talents of people are different, and they cannot be generalized."
"..." Shao Xiaoli wasn't sure whether he was comforting or hitting himself.
Shao Xiaoli can't wait to worship him as a teacher right away, but if he really agrees, how should I call him in the future?
Master boss? Old master?
It sounds so old.
Obviously the boss is still so young, so energetic...
Shao Xiaoli was struggling, and suddenly there was a knock on the door. Shao Xiaoli opened the door nervously.
After opening the door, the girl's heart suddenly raised her throat.
It was actually a blind date.
Shanxiang looked at this little girl, and said: "Xingyuan's entrance examination is ready, and you must come within three days, otherwise the king will personally be held accountable."
