night.
Ni Kun was holding a celebration meeting and enjoying the singing and dancing of many beautiful women when Zhao Min suddenly rushed in.
"Lord Governor Zhao, are you also going to attend my celebration party? But my celebration party is a little private..."
Ni Kun was lying on the couch, his head resting on Tsunade's thigh, his feet in Kaguya's arms, and he asked with a smile.
Zhao Min looked around the banquet hall and saw all the seductive ladies playing music, singing and dancing in the hall. They were all dressed in cool clothes, looking very beautiful and arousing her imagination. There were also the echoes of the enchanting music in her ears, stirring her heart and making her blood boil.
Most girls, upon seeing such a scene, would immediately blush, cover their faces and run away, fearing that if they were even a step slower, they would fall into this "devil's den".
However, Zhao Min remained calm, only raised the corners of her lips slightly, revealing a faint smile:
That’s it?
This princess was born in the last days of the Yuan Dynasty. What kind of scenes have I not seen?
The Mongolian nobles at that time no longer had the enterprising spirit of their ancestors. They spent their days drunken and indulging in pleasure. In terms of absurdity, they were even worse than you, Mr. Ni.
Zhao Min walked calmly to a table and sat down. Bai Qing'er, who was wearing only a tube top and a short skirt, barefoot, revealing her snow-white belly and cool legs, brought her tea and cakes.
Zhao Min picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and looked at Ni Kun with a smile:
"Mr. Ni is enjoying it, but my Demon Suppression Division has such a big mess today. Mr. Ni, do you want to give me an explanation?"
Ni Kun smiled and said:
"What explanation do you want, Lord Zhao?"
Zhao Min snorted:
"My Demon Suppression Division finally recruited a person with magical powers, but he was killed by Master Ni... Master Ni, are you going to explain this matter?"
Ni Kun smiled and said:
"Ma Liang, the Magic Pen, is Sima Yi in disguise. Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has witnessed this with their own eyes - well, they also saw him disguised as a young lady. As for who Sima Yi is, there is no need for me to say more, right?"
After returning to the Tang Dynasty world, Ni Kun has used divination to confirm that Sima Yi is really dead.
It is not known whether it is because he died in a different world and was separated by endless time and space, or because he merged with Cell and was no longer pure Sima Yi. In short, the "Blood Pool Rebirth Method" failed to take effect. Sima Yi was completely dead and there was no possibility of resurrection.
Zhao Min raised her eyebrows:
"So what about Sima Yi? Does Master Ni think that our emperor can't control him?"
Ni Kun smiled and said:
"Your Majesty the First Emperor could control a normal Sima Yi. But the Sima Yi I killed had a master.
“Its master is an extremely dangerous demon from outside the realm.
"Sima Yi is not someone that anyone can control, including His Majesty the First Emperor."
Zhao Min followed Ni Kun and dealt with the pawns of the "Extraterritorial Demon" several times.
During the Taiyuan Li Clan Incident, the investigation team sent by the Demon Suppression Division had personally witnessed the descent of the Chang Ye Sect's Holy Son An Wuji. Afterwards, they also witnessed Ni Kun setting up an altar and performing a ritual, severely injuring An Wuji who was "outside the sky".
Therefore, Zhao Min is actually not unfamiliar with the "extraterritorial demon".
"Is Sima Yi also a pawn sent by An Wuji?"
"No. He is a pawn sent by another extraterritorial demon called 'Blood Evil Saint'."
"Another Blood Demon Saint!" Zhao Min frowned and said, "What do these extraterritorial demons want to do?"
Ni Kun said calmly: "Sacrifice the world with blood, slaughter all living beings, and destroy heaven and earth."
Zhao Min was puzzled and asked, "If everyone is killed and even the world is destroyed, what can they gain?"
Ni Kun said: "Of course they can get what they want."
An Wuji once destroyed the ninja universe where Kaguya was.
In the end, the entire universe collapsed into a "pill" and was taken away by An Wuji.
From this we can see that the demons from outside the domain want to destroy the world just for that "pill".
As for other resources, such as slaves, treasures, etc., they are just dispensable incidental benefits.
Zhao Min thought for a moment and asked, "But why don't the demons from outside the realm do it themselves?"
Ni Kun said: "Because there is a 'barrier' guarding the outer world. You can think of it as an insurmountable wall. Before the wall collapses, the outer demons cannot climb over it personally."
Zhao Min suddenly realized: "So they are throwing chess pieces to destroy the wall from the inside?"
"Lord Zhao is indeed very smart and can understand it at once."
"Huh, I'm actually pretty smart."
"Lord Zhao, I helped your Demon Suppression Division solve a major hidden danger. Shouldn't you thank me?"
Zhao Min raised her eyebrows and looked at Ni Kun: "How do you want me to thank you?"
Ni Kun laughed and said, "How about dancing for everyone?"
Zhao Min simply refused: "I'm sorry, but I don't know how to dance."
Ni Kun didn't mind and just said, "Since you can't dance, then Governor Zhao, please go back."
"Ah?" Zhao Min was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened and she glared at Ni Kun:
"I'm a guest! How dare you chase me away so bluntly?"
Ni Kun smiled and said, "We are holding a private celebration party, and the exciting activities will begin soon..."
He gave Zhao Min a look that said "you know what I mean." "I'm afraid it would be inappropriate for Governor Zhao to stay here any longer."
Zhao Min didn't come here today to raise an army to hold him accountable - she had already reported the matter of Sima Yi to the Qin Emperor, who didn't mind it at all and told her not to worry about it.
So her trip to see Ni Kun was purely to find an excuse to come over and have fun.
As a result, I hadn't even finished my cup of tea, and my butt hadn't even warmed up yet, but he wanted to chase me away just because I didn't want to dance...
How can this be possible?
I want to play some mahjong with the ladies! I even brought my wallet...
Zhao Min relied on her familiarity with Ni Kun and sat there motionless, humming softly:
"This Governor really wants to see how wonderful your activities are, Master Ni. Master Ni is very generous, do you mind if I take a look?"
Ni Kun laughed in silence: "Superintendent Zhao is a girl, our activity..."
Zhao Min glanced at Ni Kun provocatively:
"I'm a girl and I'm not afraid, so why are you, a man, so shy? Just treat me as if I don't exist."
Ni Kun smiled:
"Since Lord Zhao has said so, I will not let Lord Zhao underestimate me...
“Qing’er, prepare some more tea for Governor Zhao, she might be very thirsty later.
"Well, if you can't hold on any longer, you can leave on your own. I won't arrange for anyone to see you off."
"Tsk." Zhao Min curled her lips in disdain: " I have seen mountains of corpses and seas of blood, demons and monsters, what else can make me unable to hold on?"
"Master Zhao is so heroic!" Ni Kun laughed and waved his hand, "Keep playing the music, keep dancing! Xiaoqing, come here. Today I will test your poetry first. Twenty-four Bridges... What's the next line?"
Recite poetry?
This is what you call a wonderful event?
Just as Zhao Min was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, she saw Xiaoqing swaying to Ni Kun's bed, turning her head and smiling at her, revealing two long and sharp teeth, and then sticking out her long tongue with a forked tip, then turning back and kneeling in front of Ni Kun's bed.
Zhao Min swallowed back her mocking words, her eyes widened, her mouth slightly opened, and her words were in disarray:
Wow, this poem... can actually be interpreted this way! I've learned a lot!
I only stayed in the hall for half an hour.
Zhao Min's face turned red and she ran away in a panic.
When she got outside, she took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling sharply. She raised her pretty face to the cool evening breeze, raised her hand to pat her hot cheeks, and spat inwardly: "Excessive debauchery!"
A few faint moans like sobs were heard in the wind. Zhao Min's cheeks turned red again. She used her lightness skills to escape as if there was a hungry wolf chasing her.
After returning to her house, Zhao Min immediately asked her maid to prepare bath water for her, and specifically instructed that it did not need to be heated, only cold water was needed.
When the water was ready, Zhao Min immersed herself in the cool well water. She then let out a long sigh of relief and felt her body cooler and more comfortable.
She squinted her eyes and lay on her back in the bathtub, as the scenes she had seen before reappeared in her mind.
"This is the first time I've discovered that a man's body can actually be so beautiful... Damn it, if Ni Kun wasn't so strong, I would have brought the dragon talisman and the golden man to snatch him away long ago! And those witches, each of them is proficient in strange skills and tricks, serving him more comfortably than the emperor. Even if I snatch him away, how can I compare with them? It really makes me angry!"
Zhao Min thought angrily, the image of Ni Kun's body lingering in her mind. Unconsciously, her two slender, snow-white legs had involuntarily crossed together.
Midnight has passed.
Ni Kun, wearing a long robe, came to a small building and knocked on the door gently.
"Diao Chan, have you rested?"
"Not yet."
A soft and sweet voice sounded, and after a while, light footsteps were heard, the door creaked open, and Diao Chan appeared.
The moonlight shone on her, making her skin glow and look like a fairy from the Moon Palace.
But the fairy's eyes were slightly red, with tears in them, and her pitiful and weak appearance made people feel very pity for her.
Ni Kun raised his hand, wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes, and comforted her:
"My divination is not completely accurate. Maybe I made a mistake. You don't need to worry too much."
After returning, when predicting Sima Yi's life and death, Ni Kun also calculated the situation in Diao Chan's hometown world.
He had died and been resurrected more than 3,800 times, and his cultivation of the Amitabha Sutra had advanced by leaps and bounds. With the rapid growth of his soul, his divination ability had also greatly improved.
Although it is impossible to accurately calculate the specific situation in another world, it is still possible to roughly deduce "good or bad luck".
However, the result of the divination was not good. It was not a bad omen, nor a very bad omen, but it was a direct sign of death.
Judging from the hexagram, the Dynasty Warriors world where Diao Chan and Sima Yi came from has probably been completely destroyed.
Ni Kun did not hide this result from Diao Chan.
Diao Chan had actually anticipated this, but she still held out hope for the best.
But now her hopes were dashed. Thinking that the Han Empire, for which she had worked hard, fought and sacrificed, was now gone, and even the entire heaven and earth no longer existed, one can imagine the sadness in Diao Chan's heart.
Ni Kun sympathized with her mood and did not let her attend the celebration party tonight. He just let her have a good rest and adjust her mood.
"Thank you for your consideration..."
Diao Chan raised her pretty face and smiled at Ni Kun:
"I cried for a while, and now I feel much better. Oh, I am so rude. I forgot to invite you in."
As he spoke, he moved aside to open the door and welcomed Ni Kun in.
"Sir, is tonight's celebration party over?"
"Yes. Today I had a life-and-death battle with Sima Yi. My strength was soaring, while theirs was weak. They only lasted for half a night before they were completely wiped out."
"Sir, you seem to be not satisfied? Then... please let me serve you."
"But your mood today..."
"It's fine……"
As she spoke, she asked Ni Kun to sit on the couch and helped him take off his shoes and socks. Then she stood up and looked at Ni Kun: "If you like, you can also tie up Diao Chan and hang her up like we did in the mountains..."
Ni Kun was speechless: "Why do you want to degrade yourself like this?"
Diao Chan had a smile on her face, but tears were rolling down her eyes:
"My hometown may have been destroyed many years ago. It's ridiculous that I was sleeping in a coffin and knew nothing about it. I still held on to a glimmer of hope and believed Sima Yi's lies and tried to plot against you...
"Now, there may only be Diao Chan left in the world... Please don't pity me, my lord, for such an ominous person."
Ni Kun shook his head, raised his hands to wrap around her slender waist, pulled her into his arms, and wiped away the tears from her eyes. "The destruction of heaven and earth is not your fault, it was done by the Blood Evil Saint. Why do you have to take on the sins of others?"
Diao Chan laid her pretty face on Ni Kun's chest, her hot tears soaking through his clothes.
She hugged Ni Kun's shoulders tightly with both hands, her delicate body trembling and sobbing:
"But why did the Blood Demon leave Sima Yi and I alone? Was it not me or Sima Yi who attracted the Blood Demon?"
I see.
It turned out that she actually thought that the Blood Evil Saint was led away by her or Sima Yi, so she blamed herself so much.
"Diao Chan, you are wrong. The Blood Demon Saint, like the Extraterritorial Heavenly Demon, will not come because of any one person. They destroy the world for their own purposes. Even without you or Sima Yi, the Blood Demon Saint would still plot against your world. And the reason why he left you and Sima Yi behind, I think, was just a casual decision, he chose you and Sima Yi at random."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. Hasn't our world been used as a pawn by the Blood Evil Saint and other extraterritorial demons? Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, sons of noble families, were possessed by the demon spirits cast by the extraterritorial demons. Is this also your fault?"
"..." Diao Chan said nothing, but hugged Ni Kun's shoulders even tighter with her arms.
It was a long time later.
She just raised her tear-stained face and smiled at Ni Kun:
"Sir, I feel much better now... Thank you for your enlightenment. Now, it's my turn to serve you!"
As he spoke, he stood up from Ni Kun's arms, undressed him, and whispered:
"Sir, don't be too sympathetic, just enjoy yourself... This time I'm not belittling myself, but although I look delicate and frail, I'm not a weak woman who can't withstand the wind and rain."
Ni Kun smiled and said, "You are an unparalleled warrior, able to lead a large army to fight on the battlefield, and able to defeat a thousand enemies with one horse. I believe in your strength. However, I am afraid that my magical powers will exceed your imagination."
Diao Chan smiled sweetly, her beautiful smile was like a hundred flowers blooming, stunning the whole country:
"Then I...will come to experience your divine power."
…
"Mr. Ni, Mr. Ni..."
In a trance, Ni Kun heard again a familiar and gentle male voice, calling him softly.
When he opened his eyes, he saw the magnificent Buddhist temple again, and behind him was the golden Buddha with the same facial features as himself.
Outside the main door of the Buddhist temple opposite, a familiar and gentle male voice kept calling him:
"Mr. Ni, Mr. Ni..."
Ni Kun moved his mind, and the door of the Buddhist temple opened with a bang. A handsome monk in snow-white clothes was standing in front of the door, looking at him with a smile.
"Master Xuanzang, we meet again." Ni Kun smiled and said, "Please come in."
This Buddhist temple is his realm of consciousness. Without his permission, even with Xuanzang's supernatural powers, no one can step into the temple.
Xuanzang stepped over the threshold and entered the Buddhist hall.
"Master, please take a seat." Ni Kun pointed with his hand, and a cushion appeared in front of Xuanzang.
Xuanzang bowed to Ni Kun, thanked him, sat cross-legged on the cushion, and said with a smile:
"Master Ni has made great progress in his magical powers and has defeated the evil spirit. I would like to congratulate you."
Ni Kun thought that he had seen and heard the battle between him and Cell with his "clairvoyance and clairaudience", so he didn't think much about it and just smiled and said:
"It's just a slight improvement, not worth mentioning. And I have to thank Master Xuanzang for giving me the Five Finger Mountain magical power and the outline of the Tathagata Sutra for this achievement."
"Five Finger Mountain magical power?" Xuanzang was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Master Ni, are you talking about the magical power that my master used to suppress my disciple? Ha, it is indeed the Five Finger Mountain."
Ni Kun asked curiously, "Speaking of which, where is the Master's disciple, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, now?"
A hint of sadness flashed across Xuanzang's eyes, and his voice was sad:
"Our world was the first to be hit. My master died fighting hard, and Wukong also..."
Ni Kun sighed and said, "Master, I am sorry for your loss."
The world of reincarnation is in such chaos that even Tathagata Buddha was beaten to death. It is understandable that Sun Wukong was also beaten to death.
Xuanzang sniffed: "Wukong is still alive."
“…”
Ni Kun's eyes twitched slightly. You looked so sad and panting so hard that I thought Sun Wukong was also beaten to death...
"So, where is the Monkey King?"
Xuanzang's eyes are red:
"In order to protect me, Wukong was beaten back to his original form and turned into a stone monkey. I took him to the Guardian Temple. Now he is placed in the lobby of the Guardian Temple, decorating the environment while absorbing various energies to heal his wounds. I don't know when he will recover..."
“…”
Ni Kun's mouth twitched again - using the Monkey King Sun Wukong as a decoration, you mages are really stylish...
"Come to think of it, what kind of powerful being was the one who launched the initial attack? Even Tathagata..."
"I can't say." Xuanzang shook his head, looking very secretive. "But there are clues hidden in the Guardian Temple. When Master Ni goes to the Guardian Temple in the future, he will be able to get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg."
In my realm of consciousness, the past Amitabha Sutra’s true self is in charge. Can’t we discuss this?
Ni Kun nodded thoughtfully and suddenly said:
"In fact, the mage had never participated in a battle of that level before, so he didn't know who Tathagata's opponent was, right?"
Xuanzang coughed twice, his eyes wandering: "That... um."
Ni Kun smiled secretly and changed the subject:
"Master, you came to see me this time not just to congratulate me, right? But is there anything you need my help with?"
Thanks to the Five Finger Mountain given by Xuanzang and the Outline of the Tathagata Sutra, Ni Kun was able to accumulate strength through more than 3,800 deaths, becoming stronger and stronger with each battle, achieving the body of a human immortal, and creating the magical power of "The Great Five Elements Extinction Light" to defeat Cell.
Ni Kun was grateful for this favor.
Xuanzang smiled slightly and said:
"Your guess is correct. I came here this time because I really have something to trouble you .
"Didn't you ask last time how many guardians we have? There should be nine, but now there are only eight in the Guardian Temple. One of them has been missing for a long time and has not returned to the Guardian Temple yet."
Ni Kun was surprised and said:
"Master Xuanzang, are you... asking me to help you find the lost guardian? I owe you a favor, and I should repay you. But since this is about the guardian... aren't you overestimating me?"
Although his strength has greatly improved and he thinks he has the ability to "destroy the world", there is still a big gap between him and the Guardians.
Otherwise, wouldn't he have been able to go beyond the Nine Heavens to guard the temple and drink and chat with the guardians?
The matter involved a guardian, and even Xuanzang couldn't handle it, so he asked him for help...
Ni Kun felt that Xuanzang might have overestimated him a little bit.
Xuanzang smiled slightly:
"Sir, don't underestimate yourself. Just because the guardians can't do it doesn't mean you can't do it.
"For example, if we, the guardians, want to descend into these worlds in person, we need to leave most of our strength in the Guardian Temple, and can only retain a small amount of strength to descend. But you can travel through the worlds at will, without being restricted or rejected by the crystal walls of any world .
"This ability, even though I have looked through all the worlds with my divine eyes and divine ears, I have only found that you are the only one who possesses it."
Ni Kun seemed to have some realization:
"So the thing the Master asked me to do is related to my ability?"
Xuanzang nodded with a smile:
"That's right. It is precisely because you have such great ability that I have the audacity to come and ask for your help."
Ni Kun hesitated for a moment and said:
"Master, please tell me in detail what happened."
Hearing Ni Kun's words, Xuanzang's eyes lit up with joy, knowing that he had almost agreed to help, so he organized his words and said slowly:
"The lost guardian is the Capricorn guardian, Miss Altria Pendragon."
Oh no, the guardian of Capricorn is actually the aho-haired knight king wielding "Ex Curry Dad".
By the way, Capricorn's skills seem to be from the "Holy Sword" series, and when he uses them, he also shouts "Ex Curry Dad!" The two are really well matched...
Ni Kun secretly complained while continuing to listen to Xuanzang's explanation:
"During a certain battle, Miss Altria was accidentally ambushed and surrounded. By the time we noticed, we were unable to rush to rescue her in time. We had no choice but to work together to activate the Guardian Temple and try to use the 'Guiding Light' to lead her directly from the ambush back to the temple.
"But I didn't expect that the demons had already prepared for this. They used a space treasure to interfere with the guiding light, causing Miss Altria to fall halfway and disappear without a trace.
"Although Miss Altria is missing, the soul lamp left in the Guardian Temple is still on. We are sure that she is still alive, so we use the Guardian Temple's ability of 'Reflection of the Heavens' to search for her whereabouts for a long time.
"It was only recently that I found a clue and discovered her whereabouts in a certain underworld."
