Chapter 299: The calamity of all living beings, Nie Xiaoqian?
"Selling steamed buns~"

"Shaobing, shaobing, freshly baked shaobing~"

“Tofu pudding, tofu brain, and tofu juice~”

. . .

. . .

. . .

Listening to the hawking sounds around him, Ye Ning was confused.

where am I?
who am I?
Could it be... that I traveled through time again?
He was still going through the ninth tribulation of the [Ceremony of Destiny] just a moment ago, but what is happening now?

Just when he was puzzled, a large amount of information suddenly appeared in his mind, and then the expression on his face began to become strange.

First of all, he did not travel through time. Everything around him now was the content of his ninth calamity.

[Ceremony of Destiny] The ninth calamity is called the calamity of all living beings.

Different from the previous eight kalpas, the characteristic of the kalpa of sentient beings is to experience all kinds of sentient beings.

It was a calamity set up to simulate the experience of the Great Celestial Lord overcoming the calamity. Zhu Bajie had just told him all of this.

To be precise, it was the disaster itself that told Ye Ning in an explanatory way.

To put it simply, the [Ceremony of Destiny] was something that was created by the Great Celestial Lord when he and the Supreme Celestial Lord were still able to communicate normally, and was used to screen new candidates for the Celestial Lord.

Later it was modified and downgraded repeatedly before it could be used by the Destiny Clan.

If it was only the [Ceremony of Destiny] that the Destiny Clan knew about, neither the difficulty of the catastrophe nor the subsequent rewards would be that strong.

The [Ceremony of Destiny] that Ye Ning experienced was no different from the original version after being revised by Zhu Bajie.

Since the Great Celestial Master participated in the birth of the [Ceremony of Destiny], it was normal for there to be some small backdoors. Zhu Bajie passed some information to Ye Ning through this backdoor.

The most important point is not to forget yourself, and another point is not to regard the world of calamity for all living beings as false. Although it is a calamity, everything here is even more real than the real thing.

[The Ceremony of Destiny] is presided over by the Supreme Heavenly Dao, so it will automatically adapt to everyone.

Ye Ning is a card master. When he goes through the calamity of all living beings, all his experiences will be recorded, and then part of them will be automatically converted into cards or card seeds.

And the world that Ye Ning experiences is closely related to his own cards.

Because of this, he cannot use many cards in the world of all living beings.

The one with the most restrictions is the summoning card. The myth has not been cut off during the calamity of all living beings, so all summoning cards cannot be used due to the characteristics of the world.

After checking the message passed by Zhu Bajie, Ye Ning finally understood everything.

Bai Yuzhu helped him to start the [Ceremony of Destiny], but this [Ceremony of Destiny] was actually incomplete. Originally, Zhu Bajie was going to help him start the real [Ceremony of Destiny] himself, but since Bai Yuzhu had already started the incomplete [Ceremony of Destiny], he no longer took action directly, but made it complete through corrections.

And this was one of the main tasks of Zhu Bajie's return this time, to let Ye Ning experience the true life forms and feel the traces of the existence of each myth.

After all, even the Great Celestial Master could only assume that Ye Ning had partial knowledge of mythology, and he could not fully know how much Ye Ning knew.

But no matter how much he knows, through experiencing thousands of reincarnations of all living beings without the blockade of mythology, he will definitely be able to learn enough information, and thus condense more cards and card seeds.

After understanding the cause and effect, Ye Ning was no longer confused.

This is also good. In Ye Ning's original world, myths did not really exist, or at least before he traveled through time, myths were just stories.

All understanding is actually the result of beautification and processing by later generations. In that case, the card was made based on Ye Ning's cognition.

There is nothing wrong with this card-making method, and it will not affect the strength of the card itself too much, but it is not enough to strengthen the real myth.

After all, Ye Ning couldn't imagine things he had not come into contact with, so there were limitations in this, and he couldn't achieve a 100% increase in the true myth.

The Great Celestial Venerable achieved the title of Celestial Venerable after overcoming billions of calamities. That happened in the ancient mythological era, which is different from the present world. It involves a lot of special powers, and the heavens and myriad worlds were also different from those of today. The Great Celestial Venerable at that time controlled several laws, and the law of time and space even allowed him to overcome the calamities of countless living beings at the same time.

But Ye Ning is different, he does not have the strength of the Great Celestial Lord back then, and the [Ceremony of Destiny] is just a special experience set up by the Supreme Heavenly Dao, and it does not have the real power to allow him to reincarnate.

[Ritual of Destiny] The ninth calamity was just a simulation, but because this simulation came from the Supreme Heavenly Dao, it was almost indistinguishable from the real thing. The only difference was probably that this was only the past, and no matter how Ye Ning experienced it, it would only change some memories, and he could not truly change history.

That is to say, every time Ye Ning completes a calamity for all living beings, if the characters who appeared in the calamity for all living beings are still alive, they will have an extra memory, but it is just a memory, and nothing else can be modified.

Ye Ning didn't know this. To him, this calamity of all living beings was more like one of those extremely realistic virtual world game novels that he had read before.

As for playing games, Ye Ning was quite good at it in his previous life.

The only pity is that he belonged to the skipping party back then.

It's like, "I don't know who I am, where I am, and what I'm going to do next, but when the skip appears, I know I'm going to start killing!"

Looking at the people coming and going in front of him, Ye Ning felt a little regretful that he did not escape the calamity of all living beings.

"Ugh."

With a sigh, Ye Ning began to try to integrate into this world.

What appeared in his mind before was not only Zhu Bajie’s reminder, but also some memories of his role in this calamity.

Here he is still called Ye Ning, an orphan living at the foot of the capital of the Tang Dynasty. Fortunately, his deceased parents were good people and left him a property in the capital so that he did not have to live on the streets. Also, because of the sympathy of his neighbors, he had never been hungry since he was a child. When he was a little older, because of his brute strength, a friend of his parents introduced him to a job in the government office in the capital, and he lived a pretty good life.

Today is the government's holiday, and he originally wanted to take a walk, but now, he decided to go home first.

Thinking of this, Ye Ning walked towards his own house according to his memory.

Before long, he arrived at the door of his house.

This place is located at the very edge of the capital city. Although it is at the very edge, it is still within the city gate. Although it is a bit dilapidated, it is still a courtyard after all.

This is a small courtyard with two entrances.

Ye Ning was not an official, so the gate of his house was not big. There was a horizontal plaque hanging on it with the two big characters "Ye Mansion" inscribed on it.

Everything that happened before existed in his memory, so he didn't feel anything. But when he saw the small courtyard appear in front of him, he realized that this courtyard was actually not small.

Although it is a two-courtyard house, there are differences between two courtyards.

The house he inherited was of a good size. If we really want to talk about size, some houses with three or even four courtyards are about the same size as his. "Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that I'm still an orphan and a rich second generation after coming to this world of calamity. Speaking of which, there are still many good people at the foot of the imperial city. Such a good house has not been occupied by anyone."

Looking at his own house, Ye Ning happily took out the key from his body, opened the door, and then pushed the door open.

"I'm back~"

Of course, no one responded.

Although the yard is large, he, an orphan, cannot afford to hire servants. It is not a turbulent time now, and there are no worthless refugees who can run to the capital, so he is the only one living in such a big house.

Occasionally, we would hire some hard-working workers to help clean the yard, so it is relatively clean and tidy.

However, just as he closed the door and turned to enter his own yard, he clearly saw a translucent figure standing in the air in front of him, looking at him quietly.

Ye Ning opened his mouth slightly, a little confused for a moment.

No, what is this? He doesn't remember this?

However, it was his surprised and stunned expression that caused the figure floating there to react instantly. She floated in front of Ye Ning and said excitedly: "Husband, have you seen me?"

No, who are you?

What husband or not husband? Do we know each other?
but. . .

Looking at the figure in front of him, Ye Ning looked him up and down.

Her face was elegant and refined, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like affectionate autumn waters, her nose was like jade, and her cherry lips were slightly parted, as if holding an unspoken smile.

Her long hair was like a waterfall, black, shiny and smooth, and was gently tied up with a simple jade hairpin, leaving a few strands of black hair dancing in the wind; her figure was graceful, her waist was slender, and her steps were light, and every step seemed to be stepping on the strings of a piano, playing a beautiful melody.

To be honest, it’s not impossible.

Ye Ning didn't say anything, but his actions made the figure opposite him understand that he could really see her!

Although Ye Ning's look up and down was very aggressive and she felt somewhat shy in her heart, but he finally saw her, and this alone instantly overshadowed the shyness in her heart, and she threw herself into Ye Ning's arms like a young swallow.

Unfortunately, Ye Ning only felt a chill on his body, and then she passed through Ye Ning directly.

Can you see but not touch?
Bad review!

Similar to Ye Ning's indignation, the figure's face was also full of surprise.

Didn’t the master say back then that when her husband could see her, that would mean she had fulfilled her merits and could truly become his wife? What’s going on now?
A quarter of an hour later.

In the hall of the house.

Ye Ning sat at the main table, drinking tea while watching the figure, who still seemed a little aggrieved, telling him some truths that he didn't know.

"My name is Nie Xiaoqian, and I am the wife that Mr. Ye married to my husband."

and many more!

Nie Xiaoqian???
Okay, okay, I have become Ning Caichen, right?

Although we both have the word "Ning" in our names, my name is just that!
Ye Ning scratched his head. This plot didn't seem right.

This is clearly the Tang Dynasty, but isn’t Nie Xiaoqian from the Ming Dynasty?
Is this the story line of A Chinese Ghost Story?

But that doesn't make sense. A Chinese Ghost Story should have taken place in Jinhua, Zhejiang. I'm in the capital, and the Tang Dynasty is extremely powerful now. It's not the age of chaos. How could a mere centipede demon take over?

After thinking for a long time, Ye Ning still couldn't figure it out, but at this moment Nie Xiaoqian had already explained most of the things clearly.

Overall, it had almost nothing to do with the Nie Xiaoqian in his memory.

His ghost wife Nie Xiaoqian was found for him by his dead ghost father, and she was a ghost from the beginning.

To be precise, Nie Xiaoqian was born with a ghost body. She was a ghost when she was born, not the kind of ghost that is acquired later in life.

Ye Ning's dead father in this world seems to be a Taoist priest who can subdue demons and monsters. He rescued Nie Xiaoqian from an old demon. Then, seeing that she was about the same age as his son, he adopted her as a child wife.

Later, the old demon seemed to have found some backer, and then wreaked havoc on the world. Ye Ning's dead father and some of his fellow Taoists fought a fierce battle and died together with him.

As for Ye Ning's mother in this world, she died of complications during childbirth when she gave birth to him.

How can I put it, what a great male protagonist who is an orphan descendant of a righteous leader!
This plot is quite unique.

Later, Ye Ning understood from Nie Xiaoqian why he had never encountered any trouble since he was a child.

One of them was that his dead father himself didn't have much assets, and the treasures that could really exorcise demons had basically been divided up by others, some of whom were so-called righteous giants, and they naturally took care of Ye Ning a little.

As for some petty thieves, those who dared to enter Ye Ning's yard were scared away by Nie Xiaoqian.

After all, she was born with a ghost body, and her current strength is actually quite strong. However, because of the education given by Ye Ning's dead ghost father when she was a child, she would not actively hurt others. It is very easy for her to just scare those people.

This is why Ye Ning was able to grow up safely.

"So, the main plot of this world is that the enemy of my dead father comes back to life and becomes the big boss, and then we go and kill him?"

With so many years of gaming experience in his previous life, Ye Ning immediately realized the truth.

"My dear, may I ask what the main plot is? And the old demon of Black Prison has long been dead and it is impossible for him to be resurrected. My dear, don't worry. Even if there are other demons, there are those righteous people to support them. It's nothing."

Ye Ning's words made Nie Xiaoqian a little confused. Mainly because she could understand many of the words when they were separated, but she was a little confused when they were put together.

When it comes to the right path, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Nie Xiaoqian's eyes.

Back then, right after Ye's father died, a group of people divided up his inheritance and looted almost all the treasures. Some people even coveted her natural ghost body. Fortunately, she was extremely special and those ordinary guys couldn't do anything to her as long as they tried to hide. That's how she escaped.

After hearing Nie Xiaoqian's words, Ye Ning fell into deep thought again.

Death and disappearance?

Although Nie Xiaoqian said so, it may not be true. After all, in many games, at the beginning, it is said that the big boss cannot be deader, but he will appear again later. This is the basic operation of plot reversal.

However, this world was planned by the Supreme Heavenly Dao, so the plot must be complicated. And since it allows him to learn more about mythology, this world should be more complicated.

Thinking of this, Ye Ning no longer thought about the big boss or anything like that. Just take it one step at a time!

The first step is to develop some feelings with your ghost wife!
Such a happy decision!
