Beyond the Divine States Chapter 41: : Such a long night

In the extremely dark environment, the light came through little by little.

It was a trembling candlelight.

The light orange halo spread out at the edge of the candlelight, like a faint mist, covering this ordinary room. The room is an ordinary wooden structure. The dark brown veneer is a bit old, but the spider web on it Swept cleanly, on the table, a bamboo woven table cover was covered with leftovers, and a seven or eight-year-old girl was lying on the table, shaking her legs, looking at the boy sitting on the threshold and gnawing the fruit, her eyes looked resentful.

Ning Changjiu knew at a glance, that was her brother.

Her mother was on the bamboo mat at the door, talking to her younger brother, and the younger brother listened absently.

Father is chopping the firewood on the side. He looks strong and not old.

Although this family is not very wealthy, it should have been a good life in the peaceful era.

It's just that Ning Changjiu hasn't had time to understand the relationship between Ning Xiaoling's family and disaster strikes instantly.

The little girl didn't lie to him, saying that the most critical time is the most critical time.

An unnamed wind swept across the side like an arrow, and the candle flame went out. Suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes outside the door as if the floor was thrown over, the drums were beating in the ears, and then women and children sounded outside. Screams.

Ning Xiaoling was also shocked. She yelled her father's name, but she opened her mouth, but couldn't make any sound.

The gale turned her to the ground like an invisible hand.

"Mountain demon...It's a mountain demon...The mountain demon has broken in!"

Someone shouted outside, and the doors of the houses closed quickly and rang in unison, while on the street, a group of wild beasts that looked like wild wolves and half-length black flames rushed out, facing the doors. Stop bumping.

The evil spirits in the world are not a day or two. The city is still like this. If there are several waves of mountain monsters raging in the small towns next to the wild mountains, then there will be no one.

In the eyes of these mountain monsters, the city looks like a fenced fence, keeping their prey in captivity, and hunting them in waves from time to time.

Most of them are made up of wild ghosts in the mountains. Those wild ghosts cling to living animals and deprive them of their minds, but at the same time they also stimulate their blood, causing their bodies to explode several times. , Extremely hideous and terrifying.

Ning Xiaoling heard the shouts. In the dark, she heard a series of hurried knocks on the door, and then the screams of suspected mothers. She yelled the names of her parents and she did not answer. Then, She heard her brother's cry.

Ning Xiaoling ran to him and asked: "Where is my mother?"

The younger brother cried loudly: "Mother is still outside..."

Ning Xiaoling's heart was shocked, and it was dark just now. Her brother ran back into the house and closed the door intuitively.

She remembered the scream just now, she felt cold all over, she raised her hand and slapped him in the face with a slap. The little boy was hit on the ground all of a sudden, and he cried:" I'm also saving your life. What are you pretending, why didn't you open the door just now?"

Ning Xiaoling only felt cold all over, and there was darkness around her. She could not see the little boy’s face. She only felt that her consciousness became a pot of porridge. All kinds of emotions were mixed together sourly at the moment when the darkness came. Broke out.

The little boy covered his mouth and ran towards the stove.

It is said that the stove is sheltered by the kitchen god, and ghosts and evil things generally do not dare to approach.

Ning Xiaoling stretched out her hand in a panic and touched the wooden door. The moment she touched the door bolt, she remembered the screams of her mother, she felt the blood surge, and she pulled out the door bolt directly with an impulse. , The body rushed out.

The little boy shouted behind him: "Are you crazy? Shut the door shut, I don't want to die with you, a money-losing guy!"

In fact, the moment Ning Xiaoling opened the door, she also regretted it.

She vaguely saw a pool of flesh and blood on the ground, she didn't dare to identify it, she just felt dizzy.

There is no moon in the sky, and the wizards who catch the demon don’t know where they are. The smell of blood is pungent, and the gusts of demon wind cut across the face like a knife. The fear of death suddenly overwhelmed the affection, and her legs became weak. After a staggering, her body actually fell down, and she felt her hand touch something sticky and still warm.

She didn't dare to think about what it was, half-opened her mouth, and couldn't even scream instinctively.

A dark figure rushed behind her, seeming not to notice that there was a young girl with a petite body, and stepped directly on her body.

Fortunately, it was not an adult mountain demon, otherwise Ning Xiaoling's back would be broken at this moment, but even this little mountain demon still made her lungs agitate, and her throat was sweet and bleeding came out.

Relying on instinct, Ning Xiaoling struggled to get up and wanted to run back into the house, but just now, her foot was so heavy that she was as heavy as a lead, and she was facing the street where she could tell the direction. The direction ran over.

After running a few steps, she also realized that she had gone wrong, and at this time it was too late to look back.

She kept running, and suddenly heard something. It was a sluggish sound of silk and bamboo. She suspected that she had heard it wrong. When the mountain demon attacked the city, how could there be someone playing silk and bamboo?

She kept walking and ran along with the sound. There was a vaguely high gate in her sight, and the sound floated in from inside. She wanted to walk up the steps, but accidentally stumbled. , His body slammed into the door.

While dizzy, the door suddenly opened, and the light fell on her. She felt a soft look looking at her with a little surprise.

"Why are you?" The girl's voice: "Follow me in."

Ning Xiaoling was held by a tender white hand and walked into the door ignorantly. At the moment the door was closed, all the darkness seemed to be isolated behind her, like a burning lamphouse in front of her. , The maid carrying a lantern in the zigzag courtyard wandered, the sound of silk and bamboo was like the gurgling stream under the bridge, the lotus and scarlet lanterns passed by the water, and the reflections in the water were countless soft and prosperous color blocks.

The brightly lit attic was especially bright in the beautiful lights, as if to seize all the colors of the dead. The figures in the building came and went, and in the semi-open windows, the dancing figures of singers were covenant and beautiful.

Ning Xiaoling's eyes widened, she suspected that she had fallen into a dream, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

"What's the matter?" the little girl who was pulling her asked her.

Ning Xiaoling was stunned for a long time before moving, saying: "It's not...mountain monsters...they...killers, why are you still..."

She stammered a bit, and it was difficult to organize her words into suitable sentences.

The luxuriously dressed girl smiled: "This is the Fairview Park. There are monks in the garden. Those mountain monsters are ineffective little evil spirits and dare not pass here."

"The incompetent little evildoer..." Ning Xiaoling murmured and repeated. Her blood-stained hands secretly wiped the corners of her clothes, her face was shocking white.

She remembered the screams of her parents, the meat on the floor, and wondered why this was just a little evildoer?

She raised her head and did not dare to look at the singing and dancing lamp tower in front of her, as if the city was full of demonic wind, and the corpses were all over the country, and it could not affect this. It was a disaster for ordinary people, and it was never theirs.

She wanted to retreat fearfully, only that the demons were coming and going in that building.

"What's the matter?" The little girl asked her.

Ning Xiaoling, the lady of the noble family, knows her. She had a relationship with her a few times before on the way to carry water. This lady is very kind and once asked her to buy steamed buns for herself to eat.

Ning Xiaoling asked: "Why did you open the door for me?"

The lady of your family said: "The mountain demon didn't dare to come near here. I just went downstairs. I happened to hear the door knocking, so I came to have a look. Now it's really dangerous outside. You can stay here all night."

Ning Xiaoling was startled: "Then...what about the others?"

The lady of your family sighed and said: "Mountain monsters can't be killed. They hide in the mountains. Ordinary monks have gone to die for a lifetime."

Ning Xiaoling asked: "So...what about those legendary fairies?"

Miss Guijia sarcastically said: "The immortals ignore the life and death of the world."

It's like they don't care about the life and death of ordinary people.

Ning Xiaoling felt that something was wrong, and she felt that it was like this, just as she would not care about the life and death of birds and beasts, nor the life and death of mayflies and ants.

"How is your family?" Miss yours asked.

Ning Xiaoling felt sour, and tears fell again.

The lady of yours sighed softly: "Then you go find a room with no one, and stay for one night."

While speaking, the lady of the noble family released her hand and walked towards the brightly lit song building.

She stood on the spot, at the junction of light and darkness, like a child who lost her toy, helpless and at a loss.

She wanted to turn around and escape, but didn't dare to enter the dark night. Finally, she walked to a dim corner, slowly squatted down, hugged her knees, and buried her head in it. In the early spring, when the night was cold, she was shaking constantly, and her body gradually stiffened.

Singing in my ears came over and over again.

"Rouge Xuan,

Splendid Garden,

The pear trees are full of snow and peach blossoms.

Look at the lantern feast in the Xiaolou tonight,

It's all good times.

……

……

When you are waiting for your child, the jade toad hangs in the sky,

Go to Baiyun View again..."

Over and over again, the singing is as clear as babble in a dream.

She backed down as she listened, and she seemed to rise with the wind, and boarded the Baiyun Immortal View on Bian Yuchan that day.

She was not woken up until the **** crowed.

"Why are you sleeping here?" She saw the lady's angry face again, "Nothing, I'll send you back."

Ning Xiaoling suddenly shook her head vigorously: "I...I know the way myself."

At dawn, she woke up suddenly and ran towards the door as if fleeing.

On many streets outside, there were horrific killings. It was the soldiers in the city who fought against the mountain demon all night. On the road, there were soldiers' corpses and the corpses of the mountain demon, all in a mess.

Now that the war seems to have ended, many people in armor began to sweep the streets one after another.

"Whose child are you, why are you still outside? Where did you go all night?" She suddenly heard the scolding of soldiers behind her.

Ning Xiaoling responded, and then ran towards the house quickly.

While running, she vaguely heard a soldier's complaint: "Those monks, come here as many as you want. Killing them is not like killing chickens? But they just don’t want to make a move. Hey, every time it’s for nothing. With so many people dead, the cultivation of Taoism has really gone to dogs..."

"The cultivator..." Ning Xiaoling was a little dizzy, and suddenly remembered the Lianzi outside the gate of Fairview Park. She was illiterate, but heard the second half of the sentence.

Family with the same life.

Life with the sky...

She ran back home, her feet just crossing the threshold, and the wind blew her face.

"Brother?" She looked at the shivering figure in the corner and called out uncertainly.

The figure turned his head, but it was a face full of hair and monkey cheeks.

This is a fish that slips through the net that kills at night.

Ning Xiaoling let out a scream. She wanted to retreat, but she felt that something was holding her up, and she couldn't use her strength at all.

The little mountain stared at itself with its green eyes, and then it made a sharp cry and rushed over.

……
