The ritual had started on the Bridge of Forgetfulness.
The five bone copper paintings formed a magnificent scroll. The images also started to move from the first painting.
The officials of Hades’s mansion, including Yama, the Black Guard, the White Guard, Old Lady Meng and the Ghost Usher, were waiting by the Bridge of Forgetfulness, who looked sullen.
On the throne of bones, Ms. Bai’s green dress became drier and drier, her plump flesh turning into misty snow rapidly. The fog oozed out of her dress. Her whole body became bony and under her black hair was not the pretty face but a rosy skeleton.
She left the throne and walked into the first copper painting.
This was the painting of the gods’ war. After she threw herself into the painting, the bones of throne were quickly dissembled and put together, taking the shape of the fallen god.
The god fell into the mortal world like a shooting star, causing
Ms. Bai’s words were heard by many people.It was the chatelain who was confused in shock at first. He immediately said, “No way. It was me who supervised the closing of the city gate. It was seamlessly closed. There are also people guarding the city wall. How can anyone sneak into the city?”Ms. Bai said, “Yet, we do have a visitor.”The scholar wearing the mourning clothes took a look at the chatelain who was flurried and then snorted, “Now, Ms. Bai is about to take over the power of Hades and the dead spirits in the city won’t die. Whomever the visitor is, what difference can it make? Courting death only.”The chatelain snorted and snapped, “You are only a useless scholar. What do you know? Before Fengdu City is built up, any trivial thing can become a deadly hindrance. Now, we cannot allow any accident. Never!”The scholar turned around and knew that Ms. Bai was not in a good mood now. So, he didn’t argue wi
The yard walls of the Judge’s mansion were crushed and the gate was opened. On the raised rock-like muscles of the big black ox, the red blood beads rolled across the dark furs and splashed in different directions. Amidst the roaring sound of collapse, Ning Qinshui wondered whether he was dim-sighted. He saw a dark figure landed and vanished with Ning Xiaoling.The mad ox crushed the Judge’s mansion and still charged forward into the yard.The ox’s actions just wrenched at Ning Qinshui’s heart. He directly left the two treacherous disciples and the brutal and reckless butcher behind and rushed into the house with the brunch pen, wishing to tear the mad ox apart which dared to ruin the gate.Ning Qinshui rushed into the dark hall. It was dark around. The walls connected with the yard were also crushed. The mad black ox ran wildly in the snowfield of the yard and it screamed as if a beast was roaring. Ning Qinshui was about to step into th
After its neck bone was cracked, the second monster stood still. Then, it just collapsed into countless fragments and dropped into Sha Water, which were engulfed and resolved by the water.The sword was put back into the umbrella.Fluttering its wings, Jiuyu rose and continued springing at the next bone monster with Zhao Xiang’er.Zhao Xiang’er was at the realm of Long Life. It was hard to say who would win in a struggle among those at the same realm but Zhao Xiang’er not only had an extraordinary realm of Long Life but also held a sharp weapon that could almost cut off everything.Most importantly, her killing mind and killing intent were both extremely rich. Besides, she was not particular about the sword moves. Every sword move was the neatest killing act almost without traces.The third bone monster was twice the height of the former two. It swung its thick and long arms in the air like waves, rolling up gus
Ms. Bai stood in the air. The throne fell apart. Instantly, the bones and skulls just attached to her body. Some of them formed a jagged dragon body, some of them joined together and became the bone tail much longer than the body, and some grew out of the hair and turned into a beautiful chignon like a crown. Yet, most of the remaining bones were attached to the body and the four limbs like a suit of bone armor.A pure black crescent and a pure white crescent were hanging above her shoulders. The two crescents drew a terminator in the middle of her enchanting face.Now, Ms. Bai looked like the being in myth, which was somewhere between a beautiful woman and an ancient mythical creature.“Hades...”Ning Qinshui succeeded in putting together the fragments of his soul and looked up. Only by one glance, he couldn’t help kowtowing on his knees.The other officials of hell all bowed together.Ms. Bai didn
The huge pillar pierced through the sky and the earth, which was quite magnificent. When it collapsed, the scene was also very beautiful, as if in the glowing glass, countless flickering light strings suddenly split and exploded. The almost perfect images also crashed thereafter.The domino effect was enormous. Almost within an instant, the pillar toppled over slowly and hit the second pillar.The collision of the two pillars didn’t make any sound, except that the crushing of the images just took over the whole darkness like an explosion.At first, Ms. Bai thought her eyes deceived her. Not until the pillar inclined to a certain degree did she realize something was wrong. Her heart endowed with divinity was suddenly swayed so she shouted, “No!”The whole godly state of Fengdu was restless amidst her cry.The outcome of her effort over the past years just vanished into thin air within a short while.
Zhao Xiang’er lowered her head and puckered her lips for a while, saying grumpily, “I can walk myself. I don’t need your help... Hey, what are you doing?”Ning Changjiu bent down, put his hands over her hand gripping the sword and prised her fingers from the sword handle. Zhao Xiang’er said nothing. After she resisted a bit, her sword was snatched by him and placed back into the sheath.Zhao Xiang’er adjusted the scattered hair and clenched the slit clothes before her chest. Yet, her outfit was already tight. After it was torn apart, it was somewhat ripped open. Besides, Zhao Xiang’er was exhausted so it was quite painstaking for her to cover the exposed part.She bit the lower lip, her dark eyes shimmering with tears. She didn’t have extra spiritual power to ease the handprint on her face and could still feel the heavy pain in her left cheek, which greatly discredited her dignity. Moreover, this insensible man was standing before her, w
Ning Changjiu heaved a sigh and said, “Please ask then.”Zhao Xiang’er looked at him with a poker face, saying, “First, why were you sleeping with Ning Xiaoling on the ground? What did you do to her? Why did she wrap herself up with the quilt and seem afraid?”Ning Changjiu was stunned.The first question was already not easy for him.He answered with a question, “She felt cold so I wrapped her up with the quilt. Clearly, she was warm and happy. Why do you say she was afraid?”Zhao Xiang’er asked with a frown, “Why did you put your hands and feet on her?”“What?” Ning Changjiu only felt a headache and couldn’t think of anything. He said, “Last night, I took care of you and then passed out due to exhaustion. How can I know what happened?”Zhao Xiang’er didn’t question his answer, “Okay. You carried me back last night?”Ning Changjiu nodded his head.Zhao Xiang’e
The room was quiet again. Zhao Xiang’er was leaning against his chest. Seeing her pretty face, he felt a bit angry. He pulled her arms away from him, put her on the bed and pinched her face as punishment. Then, he tucked her in and ran out.Ning Xiaoling, lifting a hunk of beef, didn’t run far away. She was sitting on the stair with her chin rested on her hand sulkily.Ning Changjiu sat by her and took a glance at the beef, saying with a chuckle, “I didn’t know you had gone hunting.”Ning Xiaoling answered, “Yeah, neither did I expect that you were hunting in the room.”Ning Changjiu comforted her smilingly and explained the ins and outs of the matter to her. Ning Xiaoling listened to him suspiciously and stared at him with distrust.Ning Changjiu heaved a sigh and said, “You don’t even trust me?”Ning Xiaoling answered, “Yes, but Xiang’er is so pretty and you are in the green. I...”Ni
