Before the distant mountains have completely swallowed up the sunset, the cold moon like frost is already hanging on their tops. Dusk was about to fall, and black clouds were filled with a thin crimson glow, like dots of ink, gradually soaking the rice paper.
The blood-red light from the setting sun was all over the sky, dyeing the mottled white walls under the eaves red, as well as the delicate profile of the girl beside the wall.
Ning Ning stood alone in front of a low house, hesitated for a while, and said in a very soft voice: "Then I... go in."
No one responded to this.
Including the system in her mind that pretends to be dead and disappears after completing the task.
Okay.
Ningning pulled her clothes closer in the chilly night wind, then reached out her hand and lightly pressed her palm on the half-open brown door.
The cause and effect of how things had come to this point today was completely a surprise to her.
After all, being transported into a novel you've read before is by no means "expected".
The name of the novel is "Sword Breaks the Sky". Just from these four plain Chinese characters, one can feel the simple and unpretentious temperament of a refreshing novel, and it is refreshing in a high-profile and unconcealed way.
The writing and plot of the book also correspond to the title. If we want to give this book a subtitle, there are probably four ways to write it, just like the "卉" in fennel beans:
One of them is, "Will a Reincarnated Sword Immortal Dream of His Destiny Sword?"
The hero of the whole story, Pei Ji, is the reincarnation of an ancient swordsman. He has an immortal sword in his body and has extraordinary potential.
Although he had lost his memory of being the Sword Master, he still relied on this extremely thick golden finger to cheat his way through, eventually becoming the number one swordsman in the world and ascending to immortality.
Second, "A Thousand Years of Solitude".
But as we all know, in order to facilitate a slap in the face and a counterattack, the protagonist of a cool novel is often as miserable as possible in the early stages, born in poverty, with no cultivation and becoming a substitute, and this book is no exception.
Pei Ji is the son of a demon cultivator and a mortal woman. His father, who was like a seed drill in the world, disappeared after a night of love and never showed up again until the end of the book.
After giving birth to the so-called "bastard", Pei Ji's biological mother naturally did not like this child who ruined her reputation, so she often treated him as a substitute for the demon cultivator and subjected him to various punishments and abuses.
This abnormal childhood directly led to the protagonist's lonely, indifferent, sinister and unruly character. Even after he left his mother to join a sword sect, he always kept to himself and had few friends.
Third, "My Harem Members Want Me to Confess: The Genius' Brain War Against Falling in Love".
Pei Ji is a lone wolf, but that doesn't prevent 99 percent of the female characters in the book from having a liking for him.
It is said that the hero is so handsome that no matter whether it is the cold and elegant senior sister of the Sword Sect or the delicate and charming demon witch, when they see his face, their cheeks will "unconsciously turn red and their heartbeats will speed up."
Ning Ning didn't know whether it was because he was a stove with his own temperature or because the female characters all suffered from heart disease to varying degrees.
The only thing she was sure of was that Pei Ji crushed all the peach blossoms into pieces with his own hands, and at the end of the day he forgot about worldly ties and ascended to heaven alone, which was what he meant by "I am so noble, you are not worthy."
It's so awesome.
Fourth, "The Devotion of Tool Man X".
This is an extremely sad and heavy topic.
Ningning just wanted to wipe away the tears in her heart. After saying so much, she finally arrived at her happy hometown.
According to the routine of cool novels, there will always be countless extras and tools jumping around, some of whom give the protagonist weapons of chance, and some of whom teach him to improve his swordsmanship. Ningning belongs to the third type of role.
A vicious female supporting character who keeps making trouble.
The original owner was also called Ningning. She was a direct disciple of the sect's elder Tian Xianzi. Born in a wealthy family, she was spoiled by her family since childhood and gradually developed a bad temper of being self-centered.
Nowadays, the dynasty is at its peak, with martial arts, Taoism, Confucianism, and the art of cultivating immortals all competing with each other. The Xuanxu Sect, which Ning Ning joined, is the largest sword sect among them.
She was extremely talented and was spotted by Tian Xianzi at the disciple-recruiting conference, who took her as his personal disciple. This master is extremely powerful but he keeps to himself. Including Ningning, he has only four disciples.
The original owner had a smooth journey and was loved by his master, but he didn't expect that something unexpected would happen today.
The Xuanxu sect holds a grand competition every year on the Spring Festival, where disciples can learn from each other's skills. The original owner was arrogant and looked down upon other people. Unexpectedly, he was assigned Pei Ji as his opponent.
Pei Ji's bloodline was impure, and his sword intent was largely suppressed by demonic energy, so he performed mediocrely during the test to enter the mountain that year and was assigned to be an outer disciple.
But the protagonist is the protagonist after all, and a temporary downfall is only a prelude to a slap in the face and a counterattack. Through constant practice, Pei Ji gradually learned to restrain his evil spirit and displayed an extremely sharp sword intent. No one knows this secret. Only he himself can feel the changes in his body, waiting for the day when he can pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
The original owner was the tiger.
It’s so tragic. It’s really so tragic.
If she fights with all her strength, she won't lose.
But the girl looked down on an ordinary outer disciple and only used about 50% of her strength. By the time she realized that her opponent was quite strong, she was already trapped in an irresistible deadlock.
The little girl was furious when she lost to him.
It was at this time that Ningning came through.
According to the plot, she has to follow the old path of the vicious female supporting role step by step. Not only does she have to continue to commit suicide around the male protagonist, but she also has to shamelessly mess with other characters around her until the end of the story.
The first step in this suicidal plan was to go to Pei Ji's residence after the competition and humiliate him in person.
The system that brought her here said: "Think about it, this is like you were ranked third in the class, but in the final exam you were overtaken by the third from the bottom. Would you be angry? Do you want revenge?"
Ningning hasn't tried it.
Ningning has always been ranked first in her grade.
Moreover, she has never even said a bad word since she was a child, let alone bullying others.
"You don't have to feel too guilty."
The system comforted her: "Villains are also a necessary part of the plot! Think about it, if you don't bully the hero, he won't practice so hard to surpass you; if he doesn't practice so hard, his cultivation level won't improve by leaps and bounds; with his personality, he can't improve his cultivation level, how can he survive in the world of cultivation? Who knows when he will die."
Finally, he emphasized his tone and made the final decision: "Heaven's pride! The hero of the whole story! He died just because you refused to bully him. How could you have the heart to do that!"
It's simply heresy.
However, Ningning was very helplessly convinced by it. She felt that she was just a little piece of trash with an indecisive stance.
After all, according to the plot, the original owner's suicidal behavior will not only not bring any substantial harm to the male protagonist, but also allow him to obtain various opportunities and treasures by accident.
Instead, she suffered the consequences of her own actions and was embarrassed every time.
So much so that when she was reading the original novel, whenever the supporting female character started to act like a troublemaker, Ning Ning would involuntarily think: Great, the male protagonist can show off and get slapped in the face again.
Seeing that her attitude had softened, the system continued, "The most important thing is, when the mission is over, I will help you fake your death and escape, and start a new life in this world. You were very unwilling to die so easily in your previous life, right?"
After hearing this, Ningning fell silent and stopped refutation.
In the original world, she died of a serious illness.
At the age of seventeen, in the advanced stage of stomach cancer, he lay in bed with severe pain all over his body, unable to move or speak, and even breathing was a burden.
The system was right. She really didn't want to die in vain so early.
Ning Ning is not a hypocritical person, she nodded immediately and said: "Okay boss, thank you boss, I will work hard boss!"
So she finally came to the residence of the male protagonist Pei Ji.
Unlike the independent courtyards for the direct disciples, the outer disciples live in rooms with three people in each room. This also directly led to Pei Ji suffering unscrupulous bullying from his roommates for a long time.
He came from a very poor family, grew up in a small village, and had very little knowledge. What's more, Pei Ji has demonic energy in his body and is the offspring of a demon cultivator. There is also discrimination based on bloodline in the world of immortal cultivators.
They laughed at him and called him an unclean bastard, and often beat him up. As for Pei Ji, he stood out in the competition today...
It was dinner time and most people were not in the dormitory. Ningning was standing at the door and vaguely heard some sounds coming from inside.
"Tell me quickly, what despicable means did you use? You are just a loser, how could you have made such progress overnight?"
"Let's search his clothes. We're sure to find something worthless!"
"You dare to hit me, little brat? I'll kill you!"
Then the sound gradually faded and she could no longer hear it. She could only vaguely make out rustling sounds similar to punching and kicking.
Seeing that there was no movement in the room, Ningning was worried that the male protagonist was beaten half to death. Without time to think too much, she immediately exerted force with her palm and gently pushed the wooden door open.
With a creaking sound, the overwhelming scarlet color outside the door rushed in, and it really looked like a tide of blood. Under the dim candlelight and the fragments of the setting sun, she could see the scene in the room clearly.
There are three people in total.
The disciple in white stood aside with his back to her, shaking violently for some unknown reason. When he turned around, he was filled with fear, as if he had seen a man-eating beast.
The young man with black hair and black clothes stood with a sword in his hand, the tip of the sword pointed at the other man's throat. When she pushed the door open, Ning Ning just happened to hear the rest of his words, which were so cold and creepy: "...I don't mind killing you."
After saying that, he pursed his lips and turned around, his dark eyes filled with hostility, unable to conceal his murderous intent.
The man who was pointed at by the sword was sitting in the corner, obviously he had just been beaten. His right cheek was swollen, and his clothes and hair were messy.
He seemed to be in great pain and let out a few low, hoarse gasps from his throat, the tail ends of which kept trembling.
There were three people living in the disciple room, and the other two would indeed team up to bully Pei Ji.
She knew that one of them was named Nie Zhi, who liked to wear white clothes, and the one holding the sword was another villain, Shen Anqiao. As for the miserable guy in the corner -
The male protagonist actually has such an embarrassing moment.
so.
Ningning thought, as a qualified vicious female supporting role, what should she say now?
Must I join your multiplayer game?
Let go of that male lead and let me take over?
She had already roughly adapted to her own character, so when the three people turned their heads to look at her, she did not panic, but pretended to be calm and raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Why did you stop? Keep going."
That trash-looking look, that condescending tone.
Full marks!
Ning Ning entered the sect at the same year as them, and was also taught by Tian Xianzi himself, so Nie Zhi immediately recognized her identity: "You are the disciple of Tian Xianzi..."
It was strange why he looked so frightened, as if a hungry wolf was chasing him.
Could it be that his bullying behavior was discovered by his classmates and he was embarrassed for a moment?
However, the sword-wielding Shen Anqiao looked normal. He frowned and glanced at him, his eyes full of hostility: "What are you doing here?"
He's so arrogant and cold, and you can tell at first glance that he's the leader of the bad boys here.
In fact, this guy is quite good-looking, with handsome features and a straight nose, but he looks quite fierce.
Ning Ning looked at him and pointed at the male protagonist lying on the ground: "I'll come find him."
Noticing the other party's momentary shock, she took brisk steps forward and walked to the side of the male protagonist.
The face that was said to be stunningly beautiful had been beaten so badly that its original appearance could no longer be seen. She sighed inwardly and thought seriously:
How did Ningning speak in the original book?
"Oh, you got beaten pretty badly."
"You know clearly why I am here. Don't you consider your own status? How dare you, an outer sect disciple, provoke me?"
"We are both from the Xuanxu sect, but you have done something that humiliates your fellow disciples. If it weren't for the fact that we are from the same sect, I would have killed you today for having evil intentions."
"Tell me the truth, what did you do?"
The original owner didn't believe that she would be defeated by an outer disciple, and naturally thought that Pei Ji used underhanded tricks and cheated to have the strength to fight her.
Ningning only picked out the least hurtful sentences from her conversation, and omitted all the other words like "trash", "bastard" and inexplicable swear words, as they sounded dirty when spoken out.
She recited the lines in one go, and after finishing, she snorted in a way that was in line with her character. She raised her fair chin slightly and glanced at Shen Anqiao who was wearing black beside her: "It's your turn."
Ningning's verbal attacks are just for fun. If you want to talk about viciousness, you have to look at this big brother who has a very villainous temperament.
But maybe it's because she acted too realistically.
Before the black-clothed young man opened his thin lips, the male protagonist lying in the corner let out a heart-wrenching ghostly howl, and tears suddenly rolled out from his swollen little eyes: "It's... It's all my fault! Forgive me!"
Ningning: Slowly type a question mark.
etc.
Male protagonist, what are you doing? Male protagonist! Doesn’t the book say that “even though you were burned in the fire of purgatory for three days and three nights, you never begged for mercy”? Why are you crying like this just because she scolded you a few times?
Is she that scary?
Ning Ning was a little confused by his reaction, and then she heard him continue to sob and say, "I confess everything, please don't tell the elders! I stole Pei Ji's sword, so he could only use a broken iron sword to participate in the sect competition... It's all my fault, please forgive me!"
Pei Ji's sword.
Did he steal it?
Isn’t this person Pei Ji? ? ?
Ningning finally understood what it felt like to have a thousand horses galloping through her heart, and she was almost suffocated by the fear.
If the one being beaten wasn't the male lead, then...
She forced herself to maintain an awkward but polite smile, turned her head and took a closer look at the young man in black holding the sword.
The angular profile presents a beautiful cold white color. When covered by the blood-like afterglow of the setting sun, it looks like flawless white jade stained by blood, adding a bit of coldness and eccentricity.
As far as the eye can see is a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes with upturned corners. The dark pupils are full of shadows, like a bottomless cold pool.
Below the end of the right eye is a heart that has been mentioned countless times in the novel and belongs only to the male protagonist Pei Ji...
Deep red teardrop mole.
Ningning: Myocardial infarction.
God wants to kill her.
Maybe, probably, possibly, she recognized the wrong person.
The one lying on the ground is the villain Shen Anqiao.
No wonder she saw Nie Zhi's terrified eyes when she pushed the door open. People were not afraid of her, but of Pei Ji, who looked like a Shura and suddenly took up his sword to resist.
So what is the plot now.
The hero finally stopped hiding his strength and killed the fellow disciple who tried to bully him on the spot, and in a very villain-like manner he pointed his sword at the man's neck.
And she, the vicious female supporting character chosen by the author, stood up for the hero when he was humiliated and taught the brat who bullied him a lesson with cold words.
Is this what the male protagonist and the vicious female supporting character should do?
Seeing that her expression was not right, Nie Zhi, who was standing beside her, was frightened.
He and Shen Anqiao were jealous of Pei Ji's success in the sect competition and believed that the boy had used despicable means, so they blocked him in the disciple room and bullied him as usual.
Unexpectedly, Pei Ji actually resisted in the middle and knocked Chen Anqiao to the ground in an instant.
What he didn't expect was that Tian Xianzi's direct disciple would suddenly push the door open.
I have long heard that this young lady has a capricious and domineering personality, but now she has condescended to speak up for Pei Ji. What is this called? It's definitely love!
The infatuated girl Kendo, frustrated in love, has a special liking for the strange boy who defeated her. Not only does she chase him all the way to his residence, she also scolds the fellow disciples who bullied him without hesitation.
I've heard that this kind of proud girl would have a special liking for the person who defeated her. It seems that what is written in the storybook is true.
Nie Zhi was shocked and frightened, and made up a whole story in his head about the tragic love between Ning Ning and Pei Ji, in which she was deeply in love with him. However, as the heroine of the story, Ning Ning herself knew nothing about it.
She just felt that it was over.
She had promised the system to complete the task well, but the beginning was so chaotic that even her own mother couldn't recognize her.
This won't work.
You must do well what you promised to others. Even if you are playing a vicious female supporting role, you must have professional ethics!
"I'm not here to help you."
The original owner had met Pei Ji before, so she naturally couldn't use "mistaken person" as an excuse. Ningning gritted her teeth and said this, her ears feeling a little hot due to the regret.
What she said was all true, but when it reached the ears of several other people, it was completely different.
Seeing the blush on the girl's fair earlobe, Nie Zhi trembled.
She blushed as she spoke and was in a hurry to distance herself from Pei Ji. It was obvious that she was an old tsundere as soon as she opened her mouth. Since you didn't come here specifically to help him, why did you say those words to Shen Anqiao?
Pei Ji had a blank expression on his face, while Nie Zhi seemed to be thinking about something.
Ning Ning felt that the atmosphere was not right. She met the former's dark eyes that were still full of hostility and added unconvincedly: "Listen carefully, I was defeated by you in the competition today only because I used less than half of my strength. Don't be too proud, I will beat you sooner or later!"
This is what the original owner said in the book.
However, after these words were spoken, Nie Zhi showed an expression of "So that's it".
He originally thought that Ningning fell in love with him only after she lost to Pei Ji, but judging from this passage, this little ancestor had already fallen deeply in love with him.
In order to help that boy win the competition, she only used 50% of her strength. 50%! For the sake of love, even the honor of Jianmen can be disregarded. What a spirit of sacrifice and dedication!
A direct disciple is worthy of being a direct disciple. Even the way he pursues people is so pure and unworldly.
If she knew that I had once severely bullied her beloved...
Chen Anqiao, who was being pointed at by Pei Ji with a sword, was already crying. Nie Zhi was worried that he would repeat the same mistake, so he decided to take advantage of the two people flirting and quickly leave this place of trouble.
So he thought for a moment, lowered his voice and smiled flatteringly: "Excuse me, can I go first?"
To please Ning Ning, she added: "You two are a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman, which is really enviable. If I continue to stay here, I am afraid that I will disturb the two of you to improve your relationship."
He spoke with great emotion, but he didn't know that this was the greatest denial of the other person's business ability. It was like dancing in a minefield, and he smiled as brightly as a chrysanthemum, as if he could fly up to the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun.
Ningning felt angry and aggrieved.
Please, please respect her identity as the vicious female supporting character, who wants to improve her relationship with the male lead!
