Beyond the Divine States Chapter 324: : Paper kite

Dark night is boundless water. The spreading dawn spreads out and drains it little by little. Light shines directly from a distant place, the sparks are diluted, and the regular tiles light up. Facing the light, you can see the ridge lines of the trees that rely on the mountain peaks. They draw a clear boundary with the sky, and they are undulating darkly.

At dawn, when the world first woke up, half of the world was bathed in light and half in shadow.

Ning Changjiu walked to the window in white clothes and looked out.

The moon in the sky has faded, leaving only a faint, fuzzy shadow.

Lu Jiajia opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the boy's back, suddenly feeling lonely.

She covered her breast with brocade, the curve of her back gracefully traced, the delicately fragrant shoulders supporting her hair, her collarbone lingered. She looked at the figure of the young man and didn't know what she thought of. The hand holding the quilt was harder, and the lines came out softly.

"Woke up after only one hour of sleep?" Lu Jiajia said softly, slightly displeased.

Ning Changjiu turned her head slightly, watching Lu Jiajiayu open the curtains with her hands, looking at herself, the flames in the night had embers left, so there was a faint strand between her hair and cheeks.

Ning Changjiu apologized: "I woke you up?"

Lu Jiajia smiled and said: "I woke up from a dream and found that the person next to her pillow had left without saying goodbye...there are too many such times, it is difficult to sleep peacefully."

She ridiculed that Ning Changjiu took advantage of her to go to the three-year appointment when she fell asleep, and left without saying goodbye three months ago. After she woke up, the rest of the pillow was cold, but Si Ming was staring with a smile. With oneself.

Ning Changjiu walked back to the window, sat down, shook her hand, and said softly: "If I can, I would accompany you to sleep for thousands of years. By that time, the trees I planted will be old. , We are still young."

Lu Jiajia didn't quite adapt to his words, but said: "Where can I be? Since I followed you, I will never be quiet and peaceful for a moment."

Ning Changjiu smiled and said: "It's not that you wanted to repay me and you insisted on accepting me as a disciple. This is self-reliant."

Lu Jiajia was slightly annoyed, and immediately thought of that rainy day. The long-lived self ran into the yard dying, like a scarred little beast threw down at the door of a hunter.

When I woke up, the mask was taken off, and the clothes were changed, and there was no room for her to protest...Well, this is the root of all evil.

Lu Jia married: "Hmph, at that time, how could I have thought that there were still apprentices in this world who wanted to eat the master all day. They were unpredictable, and they should be blamed!"

Ning Changjiu asked: "Master didn't want to eat a disciple?"

"I don't want to." Lu Jiajia is decisive.

Ning Changjiu said: "Then why is the master waiting for the rabbit by the abyss?"

Lu Jiajia said indifferently: "What do I do with you when I am married, Qingxiu, and less affectionate."

Ning Changjiu smiled and said: "So I misunderstood the master, the dirty master is innocent?"

If Lu Jiajia hadn't been dressed yet, he would cut it up with a sword.

The two men fought symbolically on the couch.

The sun is getting stronger outside, and the flowers that have slept in the courtyard all night begin to bloom.

"Don't go to see Si Ming?" Lu Jiajia asked suddenly, lying on the collapse.

Ning Changjiu said: "Look at what she does?"

Lu Jiajia asked: "Then what do you do when you get up so early? Or should I pretend to sleep and shouldn't drink to break you?"

Ning Changjiu said: "It's just...a little worried."

"What are you worried about?" Lu Jiajia asked.

Ning Chang thought for a long time, and said truthfully: "I saw evil."

Lu Jiajia was slightly surprised. She wanted to ask where she saw the evil, but thinking that every word she said might be known by something unknown, she didn’t ask carefully, just said. : "In this case, it saves a lot of trouble. Um...what's next?"

Ning Changjiu said: "When Xiaoling's affairs are settled, I will go to Ten Thousand Demons City."

"Are you leaving again?" Lu Jiajia asked.

Ning Changjiu nodded and said: "When you know the outcome, what should people do?"

Lu married and said: "I will go with you when I arrive."

Ning Changjiu said: "Swords cannot enter the City of Ten Thousand Demons."

Lu Jia married: "Isn't it enough without a sword?"

Ning Changjiu said: "Marriage itself is a sword."

Lu Jiajia pursed her lips and said, "What can I do?"

Ning Changjiu said: "Just don't bring yourself."

Lu Jia’s marrying eyes are not good, and she faintly said: "Oh, when is the end of the days of gathering less and more divorce?"

Ning Changjiu raised his head and looked at the ceiling, as if looking through it to a higher sky.

"Maybe I can know many answers after seeing Master." Ning Changjiu said.

Lu Jiajia did not speak any more.

The light outside the window is getting brighter.

Since rebirth, many years have passed in the blink of an eye. In retrospect, these past events are already covered with a veil-like blur, let alone an earlier life that looked like a cloud of smoke.

……

"Do you know Ten Thousand Demons City?"

In Jiuyou Hall, Si Ming looked at Ning Changjiu and asked with a frown.

Since he didn't escape yesterday, Si Ming didn't leave either. He planned to stay and protect the little traitor Ning Xiaoling as the final protector.

Ning Changjiu gently shook his head: "As far as I know, Ten Thousand Demon City has been closed for many years and isolated from the world. Even the most powerful person in Middle-earth should have a little knowledge of Ten Thousand Demon City."

Si Ming said: "The City of Ten Thousand Monsters... can be regarded as the last pure land of monsters under the protection of the saints."

Ning Changjiu asked: "Do you know Ten Thousand Demons City?"

"I don't understand." Si Ming said: "The catastrophe happened five hundred years ago, and my country died seven hundred years ago. But... among those big monsters that have survived to this day, there may be I know the existence."

Ning Changji thought for a long time, and tentatively asked: "How long can the saint survive?"

"I may die at any time." Si Ming said: "The lord of the country has left his kingdom, like a fish stranded on the beach, even if it is as strong as a saint, it can't withstand the passage of time."

Ning Changjiu said: "If the saint dies, the City of Demons loses its shelter, won't it be completely destroyed?"

It is conceivable that the huge city dominating northeast will usher in what a major disaster and madness when it is on the verge of destruction.

"Yeah." Si Ming said indifferently a secret: "Five hundred years ago, humans and demons tried to betray the way of heaven and tried to destroy it. But after the failure, the way of heaven was The liquidation between the two is different. The way of heaven is far more tolerant of people than demon."

Ning Changjiu asked: "Why?"

Si Ming couldn't answer, and said lightly: "I want to."

Ning Changjiu knew how much this involved secrecy, and did not ask.

In Jiuyou Hall, the two were silent for a while, and Ning Changjiu suddenly asked: "Do you...recognize me?"

"I can recognize it when it turns into ashes." Si Ming was slightly startled, looking at Ning Changjiu in doubt, and said: "No, what do you ask this for, and what do you do that hurts the truth?"

Ning Changjiu laughed dumbly and said: "I didn't mean that."

In Duanjie City, Si Ming once mentioned his past life with words of remembrance. He always remembered.

Si Ming gently brushed his sleeves and said: "I'm not sure if you are him, but... if I really recognize you, it's not a good thing."

Ning Changjiu asked: "Why?"

Si Ming said: "Because I can recognize it, it means that every year, at least three superlative beings can recognize you."

She was talking about the Lords, Priests, and Heavenly Monarchs every year.

Ning Chang thought for a long time, but said: "Not necessarily."

Si Ming frowned: "Why?"

Ning Changjiu looked into her eyes and said seriously: "Perhaps because... you have seen me."

Si Ming didn't know what had come to mind, a heavy snow suddenly blew up in her eyes, her head full of silver hair moving without wind, her beautiful face suddenly indifferent and suddenly moved.

She stretched out a finger and immediately pressed Ning Changjiu's lips.

Si Ming looked out the window and confirmed that there was no change between the world and the earth, she gave Ning Changjiu a faint look, retracted her finger, and said: "The curse comes from the mouth."

Ning Changjiu nodded solemnly.

Si Ming wanted to sit down, but her posture was half frozen. She stood up leisurely, stood still again, her face as usual: "When I saw you for the first time in Broken World, I never thought about myself. I will cooperate with you."

Ning Changjiu said: "Well, I just wanted to kill you at that time."

"Oh, you didn't mean to kill me at that time." Si Ming talked about the past.

Ning Changjiu rubbed his forehead and curiously said: "Then what did I say?"

"You said you want to make me feel humiliated, painful, and desperate day and night, and you want to knock me out of the dust, so that I will not want to live." Si Ming said these things, but his words were calm and calm.

"Why do you remember so clearly?" Ning Changjiu was suspicious.

Si Ming smiled and said: "Your ambition is so deaf, it's not easy to forget it."

Ning Chang thought for a long time, then smiled: "Then I never forget my original intention."

"Huh?!"

Si Ming's expression was sharp, and he was about to have a seizure, but she saw Ning Xiaoling hopped in and habitually jumped to Si Ming's shoulder, scratching with the fox tail, and rubbing with his small paws, Si Fate’s fierce face softened a lot, she glared at Ning Xiaoling, and said: "Your brother can't protect you for the rest of your life."

Ning Xiaoling pleased: "If the brother can't protect him, don't you still have a sister?"

Siming allowed the little fox to act coquettishly on his shoulders, quite helpless, wondering if he was a little too kind, which was...a little different from his original self.

"Xiaoling, it's been a hundred days." Ning Changjiu looked at her carefree face, intending to give her a sense of crisis.

Ning Xiaoling was even happier: "In just a hundred days, the authority has been collected almost, and there are still two hundred days... The brother and sister are really a match made in heaven!"

The temple was quiet for a moment.

Ning Xiaoling's words seemed to offend two people at the same time.

She realized that it was not good, and the weak explained: "I...I just said that the brother and sister cooperated very well."

"Little vixen." Si Ming cut her off and walked out of the house.

Ning Xiaoling lay on her shoulders, looking at the curves of her hair hanging down, silently thinking, don't be a young girl, don't you know, aren't you also a big fox now?

Of course, she only dared to think about it. If she said it, she was not sure whether the brother could keep herself.

"Brother." Ning Xiaoling beckoned to senior brother: "Brother, let's go out and play together."

Ning Changjiu smiled faintly, he temporarily suppressed many distracting thoughts in his heart, and walked to Si Ming's side.

Not long after, Lu Jiajia also walked out of the house wearing a sword. She looked at the two walking side by side with a vague expression, and then walked between the two without saying a word to separate them.

Ning Xiaoling also jumped on Master's shoulder judging the situation, rubbing his shoulders and hammering his back for Master.

The three people walked across the long chain bridge over the cliff.

Under the long bridge, the water surface of Youyue Lake is swaying with shards of light.

While talking about some silly topics, the three of them walked to the shore of Youyue Lake.

By the edge of Youyue Lake, the king of fish was sitting in front of a big tank. The salted fish in the tank was piled like a hill, and the smell of it was smelly and pungent.

The King Fish has an expression of irreverence on his face.

Seeing Ning Changjiu's return, its fish-like eyes suddenly lit up and looked at Ning Changjiu as if for help.

Ning Changjiu asked: "What is this doing?"

Si Ming said: "When it finishes eating this fish mountain, it will be free."

"This is Fengxian County?" Ning Changjiu was shocked: "Our ancient spirit sect's general, listening to the truth, eat this all day, what kind of style!"

Si Ming said indifferently: "It's not because it usually pretends to be a ghost by the lake, defrauding the fishery of its disciples. Get it for nothing, get abducted and deceive, and deserve it."

"But this punishment is unavoidable..." Ning Changjiu couldn't bear it.

The fish king's eyes lit up.

Si Ming asked: "Do you have an opinion?"

Ning Changjiu looked at the fish king, then at the tank full of salted fish, and silently said: "Sovereign master is really rewarding and punishing."

The King of Fish thought to himself, he shouldn't pin his hopes on you, a beast that only has women in his eyes!

"Meow." The King Fish yelled, protesting feebly.

……

The disciples are still cultivating in the wooden hall, and Youyue Lake is exceptionally calm.

They followed the lake bank all the way forward, and unknowingly walked out of the sect.

The suburbs are full of flowers, and the clothes street is also colorful, full of prosperity.

Lu Jiajia is in a good mood today. Under the instigation of Ning Changjiu and Si Ming, he also intends to take off this unchanging white dress and try some exquisite makeup.

"Does it look good like this?" Lu Jiamao ordered some red, green, and red makeup on the recommendation of the woman in the makeup shop.

Ning Changjiu smiled sincerely: "Whatever you get married, it looks good."

"Brother deceived!" Ning Xiaoling relied on telepathy to ruthlessly expose him.

When Lu married to change her makeup, Ning Changjiu and Si Ming waited outside, and the two smiled and chatted.

"If I were you, I knew my fate would not be long, and I wouldn't waste my free time shopping." Si Ming sneered.

Ning Changjiu said: "Reuniting after a long time, walking with your wife is also a great joy in life, what do you know?"

"You are really a husband and wife." Si Ming said: "Then if you were with me, would you still be happy?"

Ning Changjiu kept his face straight and made a metaphor: "It's different from walking under a dark cloud on a sunny day."

Ning Xiaoling wagged her tail and pierced him again: "Brother is obviously very happy in his heart!"

Lu Jiajia finished her makeup and came out, and the three of them went for a walk by the lake embankment where they watched the fireworks. In the early spring, Yangliu Yiyi, thousands of drooping wicker spit out tender yellow leaves, like the stamens of flowers.

"That's..." Ning Xiaoling looked at the sky.

"Paper kite." Si Ming said: "A kind of children in the world, um...a ridiculous toy."

Lu Jiamarried: "Paper kite was also used to spread letters in the past. It is said that it can convey the hearts of the world to the sky."

Ning Changjiu asked: "Let's try it too?"

Si Ming said coldly: "Naive."

Ning Changjiu looked at Ning Xiaoling, and Ning Xiaoling said innocently: "Sister Si Ming and I don’t understand each other, you see what I do!"

Si Ming said: "No matter, I will accompany you to see it reluctantly."

Outside the countryside, the spring breeze blows the grass into undulating waves. On the top of the waves, the fragrance floats from a distance, or the forest of peaches and plums, or the flowers of roses. Between the green grass, the sound of the spring stream was as small as a whisper, and it murmured with the sound of the wind.

Lu Jiajia bought a paper kite with money. The paper kite looks like a firebird with lace. Everyone picked up the pen and wrote the name on it.

It's just that the three of them have no experience in putting paper kites.

So these peerless great practitioners watched the operation of the children and children from a distance for a while, and they nodded one after another, each with their own experience.

Ning Changjiu is holding the coil, Lu Jiajia is holding the thin bamboo frame on the paper kite's wings, and the two are running on the grass, Ning Changjiu loosens the thin thread between his hands, trying to send it to the wind Up to the sky.

As a result, the paper kite swayed and fell to the ground shortly after it flew. Si Ming put his hands around his chest and sneered lightly.

"My lord, will you try?" Ning Changjiu handed out the coil, a little unconvinced.

"Since you beg me, I will try it." Si Ming took the cylindrical wood circled with thread, and she and Lu Jia married on the grass and tried it.

After several attempts, the paper kite finally flew into the wind.

Si Ming was relieved and looked at Ning Changjiu proudly, as if waiting for admiration and praise, but saw Ning Changjiu also smiling at her. Si Mingming's mood became a little gloomy, and she always felt that she had been deceived again.

She didn't bother to look at him, and continued to look up, watching her paper kite rise to the sky.

Si Ming stood blankly for a while, and finally laughed.

Her eyelashes and lips fluttered in the light, as bright as spring itself.

With a smile, Si Ming found that Ning Changjiu, Lu Jiajia and Little Fox were both watching her. She cursed her expression and threw the line to Ning Changjiu. "I knew this kind of boring thing is easy to make." People's tired expression.

Ning Changjiu took the line.

The paper kite flies higher and higher.

"How far can it fly?" Ning Xiaoling asked.

Ning Changjiu said: "This is determined by the length of the line."

Ning Xiaoling asked again: "Then if the line is long enough, can it fly out of the sky?"

Siming said: "The paper kite can fly because the wind supports it, and the atmosphere near the sea is not windy. What's more, the real Suzaku has not yet complete freedom, a human toy. Why talk about the sky and the earth?"

Lu Jiajiajia sighed: "My sister is really horrible."

Si Ming looked at the bright sky that seemed to open his arms to them, and said: "This is the truth."

Ning Xiaoling jumped onto the grass, ran to the brother in a swish, leaped on his shoulder, and watched the paper kite fly high together.

click.

High above, the great wind finally tore the thin lines.

The lace of the paper kite's wings kept shaking, flying towards a higher place.

Ning Changjiu looked at the thread in his hand and smiled apologetically: "Should I go to Yujian to chase it back?"

"No need." Si Ming said: "Let it take our place and see the truth further away."

Ning Xiaoling nodded, and once again said Ning Changjiu's true thoughts: "Well, anyway, brother just talked about it, didn't really want to chase..."

Ning Changjiu sighed, trying to push the ball into the mouth of the junior sister.

Lu Jiajia watched the paper kite fly away, but felt very distressed. After all... it is your own money.

The paper kite flew farther and farther until it was out of sight.

The three finally retracted their gazes and walked back together. This time, Ning Changjiu stood in the middle.

Spring is unusual.

……

The next half month was particularly calm.

In addition to accompany them to tour the mountains and rivers, Lu Jiama is doing sword repair as always.

The bottleneck of the Five Paths lies in front of the avenue, and she can already see it, but this gap is sometimes far and sometimes close, like an unpredictable cloud, you can’t tell what you see is the whole picture. , Or just the tip of the iceberg.

Lu Jiajia vaguely felt that this bottleneck should also be cut with a sword.

It's just that she hasn't found the sword yet.

Ning Changjiu has never slackened in cultivating the Tao. The battle with True Monarch Baihe made his sense of Taoism clearer. He also felt that there was some aura left in his body.

That kind of breath...It's like Xianger's.

Is it because I miss you too much? Or is she sheltering herself in the dark?

Ning Changjiu was not sure.

Si Ming has also restrained a lot these days. Although he occasionally ridicules, he dare not bully Lu Jiajia and Xiaoling, but Ning Changjiu still picks up some stings and takes the opportunity to punish her several times. The flirtatious punishment fell in Lu Jiajia's eyes, making the bright-faced mistress frown. She only felt that Ning Changjiu had almost written the four characters'intentionally unpredictable' on his face.

Ning Xiaoling silently assimilated authority. In the past half month, two more sects came to return their authority.

Ning Changjiu witnessed Ning Xiaoling pretending to be a ghost behind the curtain, holding back a smile.

"Should the authority be generally complete now?"

After waiting for the people to leave, the black god-robed Si Ming walked to Ning Xiaoling's side, and ruthlessly dragged the reserve Mingjun to her neck.

Ning Xiaoling felt it for a while and said, "It seems... it's still a lot worse."

Ning Changjiu frowned and said: "How is it possible? Is there an omission?"

Si Ming said: "No, I checked, only the last two are left."

"How bad is it?" Ning Changjiu asked.

Ning Xiaoling thought for a while, then gestured with her paws, and said: "Probably... so much."

Ning Changjiu looked at her serious gestures, was silent for a while, and then understood her meaning by means of understanding.

"How could it be so much worse?" Ning Changjiu was a little uneasy: "The last two are probably far from enough."

Si Ming asked: "Xiaoling, can you sense the position of incomplete authority?"

Ning Xiaoling is not sure, and said: "I will try!"

Simming said: "Well, I also use Protoss divination to calculate it."

Ning Changjiu narrowed his eyes. He looked to the north, vaguely guessing where the remaining authority was.

The next day, Ning Xiaoling and Si Ming confirmed his idea.

Ten Thousand Demons City.

……

On the same day, Zhao Xianger put on a red dress that shuffled the ground and walked out of the pavilion surrounded by clouds and mist, and the long dress of gold-painted phoenix birds dripped across the white clouds and the sea, beautiful and elegant Ziying is the brightest scene in the three thousand worlds.

Her long hair is vertical to her waist, and her dark black silk bears the queen's unique crown of fire, burning illusoryly.

Shiyu and Xueyuan bowed their heads and followed behind her.

Today is her trial day, and it is also the greatest opportunity for Suzaku God to enter the five realms.

Shi Yu looked at her pale cheeks, knowing that the strength she had lost for a long time when she tried to save Ning half a month ago will not be able to fully recover in the future.

She sighed in her heart, wondering what the older sister was after him.

In the center of Three Thousand Worlds, a huge fire wheel slowly emerged, like an open eye.

Shiyu's face was worried, and Xueyuan's face was jealous.

Zhao Xianger can distinguish their emotions, but doesn't care.

She walked into it.

She was not sure if she could survive the trial, but there was no fear in her heart. She suddenly thought of Ning Changjiu.

She knew that behind the glamorous curtains above herself and his head, there was a huge horror. It was something beyond life itself, and it was an existence that they would face together.

This kind of tacit fate is an invisible thread. It does not start at the age of the moon, nor does it end at Meng Po. It is born from fate, and only eternal death can break it apart.

Zhao Xianger's figure was swallowed in the flame.

……

Unobservable.

Under the curtain of the golden Buddha, at the center of the lotus flower candle water, the observer sits in the Taoist clothing.

There is no water curtain in front of her, but a paper kite that looks like a fire bird.

The paper kite is thin and fragile with bamboo strips as its bones.

Looking at the name of the paper kite, the viewer slowly stretched out his finger, tapped on the surface of the water, and dipped in water to add a name to the paper kite silk surface.

That is her name.

"Should we meet again?"

As the viewer opened his mouth, ripples formed on the water.
