Chapter 375: Gathering and Parting(1/3)
As the long night passed, dawn showed a blurry shape in the horizon.
In summer, the dry wind is hot and rolls through the ruins of the skeleton tower. The powder of the bones is carried by the wind, passing through the thin light, and blowing towards the distance. The sky and the earth are full of ashes. When looking from a high place, it looks like the wind has turned into a condensation of dust and particles.
The world is illuminated little by little, and the devastating scars are like ugly statues in the unbright light.
Zhao Xianger held an umbrella, and the light filtered from the ruins fell on the umbrella surface. The thin umbrella surface was bright and quiet.
Under the umbrella, the girl's beautiful and innocent side face carries pure light, heroic and gentle. She wears a dark red dress, long and swaying ground, with the patterns of fire phoenixes and vermilion birds pressing on it like flowers, but it does not look complicated and vulgar, but instead makes the girl look quiet and beautiful.
Si Ming knelt at the edge of the deep pit, raised his head, and looked at her with tears on his face. In the sunshine, Si Ming felt that he had seen the purest color in the world, and for a moment he was at a loss.
"Xiang'er?" Si Ming's chest was undulating, and the ice eyes were filled with a hazy clear light. She calmed down and asked, "You, why are you here?"
Ning Changjiu was also a little surprised. He originally thought that he was going to die under Ke Wenzhou's sword. At that time, at the critical moment of life and death, a red flower bloomed in front of him. Then he was hugged and escaped into a world that he could not explain himself, avoiding the death sword.
Zhao Xianger smiled and said, "Didn't you say you want to take me as a maid who serves tea and water? So I came here specially, um... do you want to practice it?"
Si Ming was stunned. She never thought that her words would be heard. Is this the magical power that controls mountains and rivers?
Shortly after Zhao Xianger first entered the Five Paths, her realm was insufficient compared to Siming, but at this moment, Siming's momentum had been completely suppressed. Hearing this, his cheeks were even red and hesitantly could not speak, which was a bit chaotic.
"Well, I...I don't...how do you eavesdrop on it..."
Si Mingshang knelt on the ground, his silver hair was slightly messy, and on the dark robe, the slender silver-white tattoo had not yet faded, and she shone with a faint luster. She bit her lip and had not yet walked out of sadness. She didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but Zhao Xianger asked this blow-like question again.
She was so arrogant when she said this before, and so cramped when she was exposed.
Zhao Xianger obviously didn't want to let her go, so she continued: "Sister Xueer has the courage to say, don't you agree?"
Si Ming bit his lip, his chest was still undulating violently. She looked at Zhao Xianger's smiling face, feeling extremely embarrassed.
She avoided her eyes, lowered her head, reached out to get her hair, and couldn't show her momentum to resist anything.
Ning Changjiu squatted down gently, rubbed the blood from his hands, handed Si Ming the scarred hand, and whispered: "Xue Ci, stop crying, I'm still here."
Si Ming moved slightly, and his body finally relaxed a little, but Zhao Xianger said again: "Xue Ci? I am not Xueer in private, Xueer, I am so good at it, why don't you dare to shout in front of me?"
"..." Ning Changjiu knew that he was in the wrong and dared not speak. He secretly exchanged glances with Si Ming.
Zhao Xianger looked at them from a high point. She was obviously the youngest, but the teacher was still speaking majestic.
Zhao Xianger didn't make things difficult for them, because she couldn't stay here for too long and would go back soon. They had already known each other for three years in the dream. Although they were not as affectionate as Jin Jian, they were also considered sisters. She knew very well that for Xue Ci, there should not only be ridicule, but also be kind and powerful.
Zhao Xianger poured the umbrella towards Si Ming.
Si Ming immediately thought of the scene where she and Ning Changjiu were holding an umbrella in Wan Yao City. I don’t know if Zhao Xianger was hinting at anything. Then, Xianger’s white and delicate hands reached over.
"Get up, it's a rare meeting, let's go together." Zhao Xianger said.
Si Ming hesitated for a while, held Ning Changjiu's hand in his right hand and Zhao Xianger's hand in his left hand, and slowly stood up.
Behind him, the sunlight passed over the city, illuminating their figures white.
Zhao Xianger stood in the middle, Ning Changjiu and Si Ming stood on the left and right. Their height was not harmonious, but they looked inexplicably harmonious.
"How did Senior Sister Xiang'er come from?" Si Ming finally calmed down and took some temperament again.
It took them many days from Wan Yao City to this point. According to Ning Changjiu, Xiang'er should have been in the Three Thousand Worlds of the Western Kingdom. It would take at least half a month to get here...
Zhao Xianger explained: "This is related to some ability of the Three Thousand Worlds. In short, I can cross incredible distances in a short period of time through leaps between various worlds. Maybe one day you are talking bad things about me behind my back, and halfway through the conversation, you will hear a knock on the door."
When Si Ming thought that he had indeed said many bad things in his heart, and Zhao Xianger heard these words, he felt ashamed, so he had to lower his head and accept the ridicule and temporarily compromise on Xianger's majesty.
Ning Changjiu said, "Xiang'er also knows that Xueci always has different feelings on weekdays, not to mention that she has said a lot of good things about you."
"Hmm? Is that right?" Zhao Xianger asked, "Why didn't I hear it?"
Ning Changjiu smiled and said, "Xiang'er is not monitoring us all day long, of course there are some mistakes and misheards."
"Hmph." Zhao Xianger raised her jaw slightly and said proudly: "Of course I'm not so bored. I care about your troubles all day long."
Ning Changjiu put his hands together and smiled, and secretly glanced at Si Ming.
Si Ming immediately avoided her gaze. Today she is particularly well-behaved.
The three of them walked through the streets and alleys of Guyun City.
The blue bricks on the street were broken into gravel, and most of the walls on both sides were also flattened. Many people woke up from the disaster and looked at everything in chaos, speechless, and many people would never wake up again.
They crossed the street corner and walked forward, looking at the collapsed trees and talking softly.
"When the sword saint fell, I thought I would definitely die. How did Xiang'er save me?" Ning Changjiu asked the doubts in his heart.
Zhao Xianger said: "This has something to do with my authority."
Ning Changjiu said curiously: "What authority?"
Zhao Xianger asked back: "What is your authority?"
Ning pondered for a while and said, "In short, every time I set out a sword or shoot an arrow, I can definitely hit the enemy."
Zhao Xianger's thin and red lips sank, and she said, "I am exactly the opposite of you. My authority can avoid all attacks."
Ning Changjiu was stunned for a while, and laughed helplessly, thinking to himself whether this was a couple or an enemy.
Si Ming, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but whistle, "What will happen if you use your authority to attack Xiang'er's authority?"
Zhao Xianger looked at her, blinked, and said, "Does the junior sister really want to know the answer?"
Si Ming looked at her black and white eyes and said spinelessly: "I don't want to do it anymore."
Ning Changjiu couldn't help laughing at Si Ming's defeated look.
The three of them walked to the depths of the city.
Zhao Xianger raised her head and looked at the vast sky, saying, "I don't know if they can kill Ke Wenzhou."
After the Sword Saint returned to its original body, it forced its way out of retreat and fled. The other three people rushed to chase after him in a clamping attack. If Si Ming hadn't been worried about Ning Chang and rushed into the city, the four of them joined forces, perhaps the Sword Saint would have really fallen today.
Si Ming said: "Ke Wenzhou is not as strong as I thought."
Zhao Xianger said: "Because at this moment, he has not been truly accepted by the Heavenly Dao... Alas, I hope they can kill him, otherwise he will become the second storm and the spokesperson for the complete Heavenly Dao in the future. At that time, it will be a real disaster."
Si Ming was worried, but she calmed down at Zhao Xianger's youthful and beautiful shadow, smiled and said, "Ke Wenzhou is full of troubles, but don't we also have the support of the Suzaku Niang?"
Zhao Xianger's bright expression became a little darker, and she said lightly: "Zhu Que has always wanted to kill me, and I have broken up with her. Perhaps the day of our death will be the year when Zhuque has come."
Si Ming was stunned. She didn't know what had happened these days, and said confusedly: "Isn't she your mother?"
Zhao Xianger shook her head gently, grinding her finely woven teeth, and said, "Zu Bird... was the one who killed me in his previous life. She usurped my power and left only a wisp of my soul. For some reason, I possessed me in this life and became her daughter."
Even though Si Ming was a priest who had seen the world, he was shocked when he heard these words.
Xiang'er... in his previous life... Zhuque took over his mortal enemy in his previous life as his daughter?
What a bad taste this is?
What a humiliation to Xiang'er?
Ning listened for a long time and sighed softly. He and Xiang'er had that dream together, and saw the thousand-year worry-free years they had lived happily, and also saw the scene of the invasion of the external gods and the world collapsed. He had already guessed the grudge between Xianger and the dragon bird of the deserted river, so he did not ask in detail.
When Si Ming heard this, he was filled with righteous indignation and said, "Zhu Bird did such a thing? He is really the second most evil man in the world."
Ning Changjiu was stunned and said curiously: "Who is the most evil person in the world?"
Si Ming glanced at Ning Changjiu, and Zhao Xianger smiled and shook her head.
Si Ming looked at Zhao Xianger's face with a faint sadness and said guiltily: "I didn't ask this on purpose."
Zhao Xianger was also generous and said casually: "It's okay, it's because I was too stupid in my previous life. I didn't win even if I had the right time, place, and people. It's really embarrassing. But it's all the past thousands of years ago, and it's already calm."
Ning Changjiu Shen nodded with consent.
Zhao Xianger's expression changed and she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you think I'm embarrassed?"
Ning Changjiu was startled and asked back, "Didn't you say that the clouds are calm?"
Zhao Xianger handed the umbrella to Si Ming and began to roll up her sleeves.
"His highness calmed down." Ning surrendered without fighting for a long time.
Zhao Xianger snorted coldly. When she thought of her obedient appearance thousands of years ago, she felt very angry and embarrassed. But now, she has become more and more excellent. Ning Changjiu's excellent qualities seem to have been eliminated by time, leaving only the bad roots that are full of wits everywhere. It is really hateful!
Si Ming looked at Zhao Xianger who was angry and wanted to reach out to rub it, but because of his face, he had to turn the umbrella handle bored.
The city tower of Guyun City was seriously damaged and there was almost no complete area. However, the sword saint's sword to destroy the city was not suppressed in large areas and only aimed at Ning Changjiu. Therefore, the streets and houses behind the city were miraculously not affected much, but the tiles and thatch on the house were almost blown away.
Several shops were struggling to get stuck, and even cars selling meat skewers, porcelain toys, and candied haws were pushed out as usual.
Zhao Xianger glanced at the candied haws.
I would rather know for a long time and buy candied haws.
However, the candied haws were severely damaged, and in the end, Ning Changjiu only bought a bunch of edible ones.
Ning Changjiu gave the only string to Zhao Xianger.
Si Ming sarcastically said, "I also use the money for marriage to please other girls."
Zhao Xianger's eyes moved slightly, and she felt embarrassed, and said, "Why should we each eat one?"
Si Ming nodded and said, "Well, why don't we make a bet, whoever eats the last pill will be the boss."
"boring."
