How many times rose flowers

Above the heavenly court, the clouds and mists are shrouded, giving people a sense of illusory and ethereal.At the end of the hazy clouds and mist, there is a looming giant hall. From a distance, the giant hall seems to emit golden light.At this moment, on the throne in the hall, sat a middle-aged man who seemed to be no more than 40 years old. He had already given birth to a few silver threads, but his demeanor and majesty remained undiminished.He looked at the group of priests bowing their heads in the hall, without saying a word, but made everyone feel like they were walking on thin ice.

That man is the Emperor of Heaven.

Kneeling in front of the Emperor of Heaven was a young girl in a cloud-green robe. She had black hair like a waterfall in the mountains. "Clear water comes out of hibiscus, and it is natural to carve and decorate ([-])." The girl's skin is firm and fat, with a pair of phoenix eyes that seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts.Her eyes drooped slightly, showing a humble attitude, but there was a faint attitude of neither humble nor overbearing, I don't know if it was a human illusion.

"Fengshen sent snow, left his post without authorization, and went down to earth privately. The emperor felt that he had contributed to Penglai. He was given a lighter sentence and punished to re-enter reincarnation. He can only return to the god's position after the calamity is complete." The priest who announced the decree said.

"Jixue complies with the order." The girl kneeling in the hall responded.Her eyelashes trembled slightly, but there was no trace of panic on her face, as if she had expected it.

Several immortals stepped forward, bound her hands and feet with immortal ropes, and escorted her to the stage of reincarnation.Penglai is the most low-key and luxurious place in the world, and Samsara Terrace is no exception.Jixue's spell was sealed, and the immortals untied the fairy rope, leaving her alone to walk into the mirror of reincarnation.

Jixue lost her spells, she had already taken off her cloud-green divine robe, and was only wearing plain clothes.She walked slowly into the water mirror of reincarnation, and disappeared in a moment.The immortals knew that she had entered reincarnation, so they rushed to report to the Heavenly Emperor.

"Your Majesty, Fengshen Jixue has entered reincarnation." The fairies walked into the hall and saluted.

At this time, there is already a beautiful young girl in the hall. She holds a Yaoqin and wears a water-blue robe. She is the water god Yumai.There was a hint of anger on her beautiful face, but soon, after some thinking, she returned to that cold face that strangers should not get close to.

"Isn't the water god going to retreat for another month? Why did he suddenly appear in the hall today?" A priest asked in a quizzical manner.

"I'll just ask for the last time, where is Jixue?" Yuzhen ignored the question of a certain priest, and just asked the Emperor of Heaven.

"Yuzhen, Jixue has entered reincarnation, one day in the sky and one year in the world, and he can return in two months." The Emperor of Heaven intentionally eased his tone, and the priests who were in an uproar in the hall fell silent for a while.

"Well, after two months, Yuzhen is willing to welcome the return of Fengshen with all the gods." Yuzhen bowed to the Emperor of Heaven, turned around and walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

In the world, a baby girl was born in a farmer's family.The cry of the baby girl resounded throughout the village.When the father of the baby girl saw that a girl had been born, his displeasure reached the extreme, and he drove his wife and daughter out of the house.In the dead of night, orphans and widows live on the streets, but no one helps.What they didn't know was that this girl was Jixue's reincarnation.

In the blink of an eye, 15 years have passed, and Jixue has grown into a slim girl.Her mother starved to death on the street, but she was lucky enough to be favored by Elder Xiang Yao and brought back to Xiuyuanmen.Jixue has no memories of her previous life, otherwise she would have discovered that Elder Xiang Yao from Xiuyuanmen was her close friend in her previous life before she ascended to immortality.

In the early morning, the waning moon is like a tarnished pebble, thrown on the horizon.In the silence of all, Jixue's figure followed the long sword in his hand, shuttled endlessly.The light blue figure was like a light young swallow, and the long sword in his hand flashed quickly, sometimes like lightning, and the fallen leaves were instantly shattered.

"Jixue." A clear voice stopped her, and Jixue hurriedly put away her long sword and saluted that person.

"Jixue, this time there is a mission that requires you to go." The owner of that voice was Elder Xiang Yao.

"Master, did you let me go alone?" Jixue's eyes were full of doubts and incomprehension.Master has never let her perform tasks alone, how could she...

"If you are worried, you can bring a few disciples to help." Elder Xiang Yao's tone is beyond doubt.

"Disciple takes orders." Jixue nodded in agreement.After explaining to Elder Yao Yao about the mission, he left first.

In the early morning of the next day, Jixue left the mountain gate with a few juniors under the wet dew.Along the way, a few little juniors chatted and chatted, but it was quite lively.

In the evening, the sun fell into the west mountain before the water vapor evaporated by the sunlight dissipated on the mountains.Jixue and his team arrived at Chaoling Town, the mission location, and found Zhang's family who entrusted them with the task without stopping.

If there are ghosts disturbing near the Xiuxian sect, the disturbed people will bring some silver taels to the immortal gate to seek shelter. Over time, the term "entrustment" came into being.Xiuyuanmen is not a big or small sect, and they also rely on tasks to maintain the mountain gate.

Zhang's family is a well-known big family in the town, but they killed all the men in the house overnight, and the servants fled the house in fright, leaving only the old lady and a girl of cardamom age living together in the house.The old lady was the one who entrusted Xiuyuanmen to investigate.

Jixue knocked on the door, and the wooden door was in disrepair for a long time, making a "squeak" sound.The old lady opened the door for them and led them to the main hall.

"Ma'am, forgive me for taking the liberty. Before the incident, did any strange things happen in your residence?" A younger brother asked first.

"There has never been a strange thing. Immortal Master, I am already old, but this girl is not yet old enough. I can't find the murderous ghost. I really feel at ease." The old lady said, tears like broken beads ,unstoppable.

The juniors wanted to ask something else, but the old lady was crying so hard that she couldn't ask anything.Jixue shook his head at them.

"Ma'am, why haven't you seen Miss Zhang for so long?" Jixue asked again when the old lady's mood improved.After the old lady explained, Jixue realized that Miss Zhang's family had suffered from a strange disease since the accident, and she was bedridden and unable to see the light.After appeasing the old lady, Jixue brought two juniors to Miss Zhang's residence to find out.

The courtyard is full of bitter herbal smell, the fallen leaves are piled up on the ground, and the wind blows up a choking smoke.A few spider webs formed in the corner of the wall. It was obvious that the place had been left unattended for a long time, and it was a desolate and dilapidated scene.

"Senior Sister, it doesn't look like there are people living here. It's only been a week since the incident happened, and the old lady often comes to deliver medicines, so why..." A impatient junior brother rushed directly into the yard, and couldn't help being surprised when he saw this scene.Just about to continue, Jixue made a silent gesture to him, and he obediently shut up.

There was a rapid coughing sound in the room.The three knocked on the door and walked in.Miss Zhang was lying on the bed, looking pale.There was also a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the room, but Jixue noticed that there was a hint of ghost in the smell of Chinese medicine.

The window was ajar, and the moonlight shone in front of the bed. Ms. Zhang stretched out her hand intentionally or unintentionally to block it.A younger brother helped to close the window tightly.Jixue saw her hand, which was so thin that there were only bones left.After asking a few more questions, Jixue took the two juniors back to the residence arranged by the old lady to analyze the clues, and several other disciples also came back from the old lady.

"Miss Zhang has a problem. She has ghost energy hidden in her body. If my guess is correct, she is possessed by a ghost." Jixue said thoughtfully.

"Senior sister, if Miss Zhang is possessed by a ghost, why does the old lady act like she doesn't know about it?" A junior brother asked a question.

"Because the ghosts only appear at night. Chi Mu, Niangui, you follow me one more time, and the rest of you, guard the Zhang Mansion." Jixue raised the saber in his hand, and several juniors answered "Yes". , the three hurried to Miss Zhang's courtyard.

Jixue asked Chi Mu and Nian Gui to guard the door, and went into Miss Zhang's room alone.Jixue looked around, but she didn't see Miss Zhang for a long time.She walked behind the screen and found that it was very different from the way they came in the evening.Incense was lit in the room, and there seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air.Jixue pinched a spell, and the room instantly became brighter.

"Chi Mu, Niangui, what happened outside the door?" Jixue asked outside the door.

"Wow-wow-"

The only response to her was the sound of wind blowing fallen leaves.Jixue pushed open the door, and there was no one outside.

Jixue walked quickly outside the house, and the sound of falling leaves behind her was getting closer.Looking back, the fallen leaves all over the courtyard gathered into the shape of a woman, following behind her.

She took out an open flame talisman and said the formula in her mouth, and the fallen leaves were burned instantly.However, the remaining fallen leaves are still gathering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It is obviously not enough to rely on open fire talismans, but she has dual spiritual roots of wood and gold, and she has not practiced fire spells at all.In desperation, she pulled out the saber at her waist, ready to fight.

The shadow of the long sword in Jixue's hand fluttered, streaks of white sword energy scattered in all directions, and the puppets made of fallen leaves instantly fell apart, but this was not a long-term solution.

Jixue turned her head to avoid the puppet's attack, her brain was running fast, looking for a way to defeat the enemy.Suddenly, a red figure appeared at the entrance of the courtyard.The fallen leaf puppet turned around and attacked the red figure.

It was at this turn that Jixue saw the source of the fallen leaves.She took out the last open fire talisman and said the magic formula in her mouth. The fire turned the old tree into ashes, and the puppet disappeared instantly.The surroundings have returned to the original appearance of Zhang's courtyard.

The red figure turned around, and it turned out to be a girl who seemed to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.The girl has black hair like a spring and a waterfall, showing a little charm.There are a pair of almond eyes under the slender eyebrows, which are not amazing at first sight, but after a long time, there is a feeling of "looking back and smiling".

"Jixue?" Seeing Jixue, the girl raised her skirt and ran towards her.The distance of a few steps seems to be a thousand miles in the girl's heart.

"Are you a resident of this neighborhood?" Jixue felt strange. She didn't know the girl in front of her, but felt vaguely familiar.

"Yes. My name is Ah Jiu, how about making friends?" The girl's almond eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.But soon, she smiled again.

"Okay, next to Jixue, under the mentorship of Elder Xiangyao from Xiuyuanmen." Jixue readily agreed.She doesn't care about one more friend or one less friend.

"'You buried your bones in the mud of the spring, and I will send your head full of snow in the world⑵.' Bai Letian's sentence." Ah Jiu thought for a while and said.

"Ah Jiu, how do you know my name?" Jixue couldn't help frowning when she thought of the "Jixue" she called when she ran over just now.She didn't remember where she saw Ah Jiu at all.

Unexpectedly, she only smiled and said half-truthfully, "The news that you have left for Chaoling Town, Jixue, has spread all over the town."

Jixue vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't find out what was wrong for the time being, so she had to give up.At this moment, she remembered that the two juniors had not been found yet.He explained a few more words to Ah Jiu, and prepared to find their whereabouts.

After taking a few steps, a hand grabbed her arm.Ah Jiu blinked, with a look of "I feel sorry for you", Ji Xue thought that she might be in danger here, sighed, and motioned her to follow behind him obediently.

A pair of almond eyes gradually stretched, revealing a smile.

Suddenly a blue butterfly flew down from the mountain and landed on Jixue's shoulder.Butterfly lingered next to Jixue's ear for a while, and the calm look on Jixue's face changed instantly.Following the guidance of the butterfly, she and Ah Jiu came to a temple on a nearby barren mountain.

There are no people in the temple, and there are dilapidated spider webs in the corners.The wooden windows creaked in the strong wind, and there was a puddle of mud on the steps by the door.An unknown priest is enshrined in the temple, and a few white candles are lit.

There were some terrifying bones placed in a corner of the temple. Chi Mu and Nian Gui's hands and feet were bound with hemp ropes, with a rag stuffed in their mouths, and they were thrown beside the pile of bones.

Jixue cut off the hemp rope with a saber and released the two of them.Chi Mu and Nian Gui obviously found traces of ghosts, so they were arrested.

"Where's the ghost who tied you up?" Jixue asked.

"Senior Sister, she...she is...behind you...you." Niangui wanted to calm himself down, but he was still young, and seeing the ghost behind Jixue, he couldn't help stuttering for a while.

"Behind me?" Jixue turned her head, but she didn't see Ah Jiu who was following behind her, but saw a bloody female ghost.Without thinking, she put Chi Mu and Nian behind her back, and clenched the saber in her hand.

"Jixue, can you handle it alone?" Ah Jiu, who had disappeared just now, was hiding in a corner, with a look of fear in her eyes.

Jixue stopped talking, and motioned Ah Jiu to hide, gathered her spiritual power on the edge of the sword, and stabbed at the female ghost.The female ghost turned around and dodged lightly, Chi Mu and Nian Gui stopped her at the door.

The female ghost stretched out her hand to attack them, with a hideous expression on her face.The three avoided the female ghost's long nails, forming a three-sided siege around her.Jixue cut off her only weapon—nails with a sword, and the other two tied her up.

"Why did you possess Miss Zhang and murder Zhang's man?" Chi Mu pointed his sword at the female ghost's neck, the deep hatred on his face was clearly visible.

The female ghost didn't speak, but raised her head and let out a piercing laugh.Hearing the word "Zhang's family", she spit on the ground.

"Who is the 'Zhang family'? Why do you say that I murdered them? They deserve what they deserve! If you want to blame me, blame me for being soft-hearted for a moment, leaving that old woman and that girl alive." The female ghost hated iron.

"'You deserve what you deserve'? What crime deserves a dozen lives to go to hell with you?" Nian Gui said coldly.

"Zhang Lang betrayed me! Zhang Lang betrayed me!" The female ghost looked crazy again.But the four people present still heard what she was saying.

"What do you mean by that?" Jixue realized that there might be something else hidden in the matter, and asked.The female ghost's eyes suddenly fell on Ah Jiu who was in the corner. She seemed to have seen something terrible, with a frightened and uneasy expression on her face, and she refused to speak again.

Jixue and his party had no choice but to escort the female ghost back to Zhang's mansion. Miss Zhang was found in a corner, and Jixue took her back together.
