Nightfall Chapter 120: Two autumns

(Sorry, because this is the last chapter of the third volume, it is a bit harder to write, and I wrote more, so I’m late, sorry.)

……

……

There is only Sangsang in the portraits of the streets and alleys, but the two Buddhist schools know that Ning Que is with Sangsang, and they also know the conspicuous black carriage that cannot be disguised in any way.

The black carriage is the legacy that Yan Se left to him. The Buddhist and Taoist schools must think he would not be willing to give up. He took advantage of this to leave the **** horse and carriage outside the city, but he took Sangsang into it. The city.

He chose to hide temporarily in Chaoyang City because he wanted to wait here until the big brother, and Sangsang's condition repeated. If he wants to flee for thousands of miles and fight to the end, he is worried that Sangsang will not be able to hold it.

Even if he can't wait for the big brother, he must come to Chaoyang City, because he believes in the truth of darkness under the light, believes in his ability to hide whereabouts, and hopes that the Buddhist temple here can make Sangsang's condition better.

Walking in Chaoyang City with Sangsang on his back, it didn't take long for Ning Que to find his goal. It was a dilapidated small courtyard not far from the Moon Wheel Kingdom Palace. Standing in the courtyard, you could directly see the famous White Pagoda Temple, but it was located in a noisy and chaotic inferior neighborhood for easy hiding.

He chose this small courtyard for the most important and decisive reason, because it was dilapidated and the door was full of dust. At first glance, there was no one living in it for a long time, and it was quiet like a house. general.

Ning Que did not go to the side to inquire about the story of the small courtyard, because any contact with others may lead to unexpected results, he directly sneaked into the Chaoyang City Mansion and secretly searched the case and confirmed that it did not come out. As expected, an extremely **** massacre occurred in that small courtyard last year.

The owner of the small courtyard died in a tragedy, and the relatives who were eligible to inherit the small courtyard were obsessed with cultivating Buddha, and were unwilling to take over this sinful and hostile courtyard. So the small courtyard was taken back to the state by the moon court, but there were still no people. Even the officials and monks who are willing to buy and rent are not interested in the courtyard.

Ning Que will naturally not rent a small courtyard. When the twilight came, he carried Sangsang from the broken wall on the back of the street, and easily jumped into the small courtyard, through the main hall to the bedroom in the backyard.

Along the way, the twilight is dim and silent, and the old bricks on the ground and the walls still have black old blood stains, which look particularly gloomy. Don't talk about ordinary people. Even a butcher who has seen blood would feel numb in his scalp. No wonder everyone avoids this house. Would rather discard than accept.

Ning Que and Sangsang have never seen many dead people since they were young, and they have seen too many more horrible scenes than this. There was no fear at all, not even the slightest change in expression.

There was no blood stains in the bedroom, only the bed and table covered with dust. He walked out of the small courtyard again after silent thinking for a while. When he returned, he held several beddings in his arms and carried the plastering needed for carpentry work.

After a brief cleaning, Ning Que spread the thick cotton-soft bedding on the floor, and the brand-new pillows were beaten to cushion them. Then he opened the waste well in the courtyard again, took water and adjusted the ash, smoothed all the windows of the firewood room without leaving a gap, and hung a thick black cloth on the windows and doors.

It was dark, he reached out and dropped two black cloths, then walked out of the room. After speaking, he only heard a slight fire from the room. He observed carefully and found that there was no light leaking out, so he nodded.

He took Sangsang to hunt in Minshan many years ago. The skill that he learned when he squatted and killed the wild boar in the night snow, the wild boar is particularly sensitive to light and human smell. The temporary guarding point he built in the snow can tightly not reveal a ray of light and the smell of his body. Now it is used to clean up these without any difficulty.

The night is deep, and the small courtyard is still gloomy. No one dares to come near here. Even if they are close, they will only see the shabby picture as before, and there is no trace of anyone coming.

Buddha Zong is searching for the black carriage everywhere, trying to find Ning Que and Sangsang, countless powerhouses of Taoism, lying in ambush in the green ridge that must be passed to the Tang Dynasty, who would have thought that the daughter of the Hades is very close to the Baita Temple In the small courtyard.

A black crow landed on a tree in the courtyard, looking up at the stars.

……

……

Chaoyang City is full of portraits of Sangsang. There are crowds in front of every Buddhist temple. The monks are there to tell the legend of the underworld, the last words of the Buddha, the story of the daughter of the underworld, and the expressions of the people on the moon. It was very complicated. Some were panic, some fear, grief and indignation. The Buddha's teaching was not annoying, but all of them were left behind. Gradually, the crowd became excited. People waved their fists and said they wanted to find the daughter of Hades, and then burned her to death.

Ning Que walked on the street, the crowd's discussion and anger, as well as the most vicious curses against Sangsang, had no effect on him. It didn't take long before he came to the Li Hotel.

The envoy of Datang to the Moon Kingdom is in the Li Hotel. He didn't enter the Li Hotel, but stood in a quieter back alley, listening intently to the movement in the courtyard wall, and then decided what to do.

"This is not a wise protection! It is not a surrender! It is a matter of right or wrong! My Datang Empire is the leader of the world. Of course, I don’t need to care about the pressure of the Moon Kingdom. Even if the Xiling Temple can make me give in? But I You can’t just watch the world perish like this. This is also our responsibility for Datang!"

Ning Que stood quietly in the alley outside the wall. After listening to it for a while, the most useful information he heard was this passage. The person who spoke was Datang's envoy of the Moon Wheel, and he slowly lowered his head. Then turned and left.

Sangsang looked at the expression on his face and knew that the situation was not very good, so he reached out and held his hand. Ning Que smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, but I was a little surprised to hear one thing."

Sangsang asked: "What's the matter?"

Ning Que said: "Guess how long we have left Lanke Temple?"

Sangsang thought for a while and said: "At least more than a month."

"Wrong, it is one year."

Ning Que touched her cool little face and said, "One year has passed without knowing it, so I still have the patience for another half a year. I will take you to the White Pagoda Temple tomorrow. Buddhist scriptures."

The first half of his life with Sangsang was the first half of their lives. The life was extremely difficult, even miserable, but it was also the difficult time that allowed them to become who they are now. Have the courage, perseverance, indifference and patience that ordinary people can't imagine.

Ten years ago, in the depths of the snow-covered Min Mountain, Ning Que crouched and killed the boar in the snow cellar with Sangsang on his back. Unexpectedly, a awakened winter bear accidentally appeared, and the winter bear killed the boar. After a full meal. It seemed that he noticed that there was food, so he stayed near the snow cellar and refused to leave. He stayed on the corpse of the boar for several days.

At that time, Ning Que was not strong enough. Sangsang was still a six-year-old girl. It was impossible to defeat a greedy winter bear. They had no other way but to hide in the snow cellar and wait and pray.

We can never wait for a response to Haotian’s prayers, but it is beyond the waiting of ordinary people. In the end, there is always success. In the end, the winter bear couldn't resist the hunger, and left angrily, Ning Que carried the dying Sangsang on his back. When they climbed out of the snow cellar, they had been in the snow cellar for four days and four nights.

In that situation, both himself and Sangsang could survive. Why can't you survive now? Ning Que looked at the clear autumn sky outside the window, and looked at the autumn clouds that became thicker and thicker, silently thinking.

On the tree in the small courtyard, the black crow called, very unpleasant.

……

……

Ning Que and Sangsang disappeared in this world again. They disappeared for a whole year, but that time the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism guessed that they were either dead, or they were in the chessboard world left by the Buddha. No one will be shocked if they can't find them, let alone think that it is incredible.

However, they have left the Buddha's chessboard world and returned to the world again, but they disappeared again. The two powerhouses of the Buddha and Taoism and countless people in the world have exhausted all methods and cannot find their trace. Unable to be shocked and vigilant to the extreme, you must know that nowadays many people even watch the college.

An old monk slowly walked out of the sinkhole in the depths of the Western Wilderness, and then walked forward.

The old monk wears a hat and can't see his face clearly. Holding a tin stick, walking very slowly. It's not the kind of slow and deliberate slowness in order to show calm, but his feet seem to be closely connected with the desolate land, every step is so difficult, naturally slow.

The tin stick in the old monk's hand kept moving on the ground, as if he was looking for something or someone in the wasteland. It's just that he walks so slowly and hard, who can he find?

However, as soon as he walked out of the sinkhole, he seemed to have found something and said: "Wang Court."

The yellow temple among the giant peaks in the central tiankeng rang with long-distance bells.

Thousands of miles away in the royal court of the right account, a dusty scholar, looking at Shan Yu and more than a dozen priests in the royal court who are facing the enemy, bowed slightly, and said: "May I ask you To my younger brother?"

More than ten miles away, the deputy seat of the Venerable Hall of the Xuankong Temple, with 30 ascetic monks, hurried to the palace.

The old monk continued to walk slowly. After walking for a long time, he stopped again and said: "Liuguan."

The yellow temple bells between the giant peaks in the center of the tiankeng have revived.

The scholar appeared in Liuguan, a famous trading and distributing center on the edge of the wasteland.

A thousand prairie cavalry and several Lunar State cavalry, received military orders and galloped towards Liuguan.

The old monk continued to walk. A day later, he stopped and said a place name again.

The first seat of the Venerable Hall of Xuankong Temple, quietly watching the scholar under the poplar not far away.

……

……

The big brother looked at the thick bark of the poplar and understood what had happened.

I don’t care about the danger of falling, relying on my distanceless ability to search for the traces of the younger brother, and the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism send people to follow him continuously, so even if he finds Ning Que, he can’t To take him away quietly, he will face a steady stream of attacks from both Buddhism and Taoism, regardless of life and death.

No cultivator can keep up with Wudian, and he can find himself accurately every time. Two conditions must be met at the same time. The opponent must have a sufficient number of strong men or troops near all the places that he can reach. Be prepared, and the other party must also be able to know where you are in the shortest possible time.

According to the truth, it is impossible to meet these two conditions at the same time. However, when the whole world is searching for Sangsang, when the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism and the whole world join forces, they really Can send a sufficient number of strong men or troops, and someone can fulfill the second condition.

The big brother looked gentle and dull, but he was actually very intelligent. It took only a short time before he understood everything and confirmed his conjecture: the first lecture in the Xuankong Temple finally came to the world.

He looked at Seven with a slight smile, sat down against the poplar, and took out the old book from his waist to start reading. There was no pond beside him to drink with a scoop, his expression still calm.

Since the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism tried to use him to determine the positions of Ning Que and Sangsang, from this moment on, he decided to do nothing except reading, eating, sleeping.

Doing nothing is the best way to hide. On the contrary, the more you cover up, the easier it will be to expose. Senior brother doesn’t understand this truth, but he does whatever he wants and naturally makes the most correct s Choice.

Ning Que has a lot of experience in hiding and fleeing. He understands this principle and does the same. Apart from taking Sangsang to various Buddhist monasteries to read the scriptures for treatment, he has never left the small hospital or even went to see a big brother.

Sangsang's illness has improved a bit, or it hasn't become more serious for the time being, and he still feels apathetic and has no energy. Just after noon, he fell asleep.

Ning Que sat by the bed and started reading.

This book is his handwritten notes of the Buddha in Lanke Temple. The text in the Ming Scroll of the Heavenly Book and the marginal notes of the Buddha's explanation are arranged relative to each other in order to make it easier to read, but it was still not seen at the time. More things.

These days, I took Sangsang to several Buddhist temples. Ning Que felt vaguely, so he read this notebook again, frowning and muttering to himself: "The night is coming, because of the moon... Isn’t it the cause and effect? ​​The shadow of the night falls on Yue, and it can’t be washed away anymore. What does this mean?"

He looked at Sangsang who was sleeping, looked at her pale little face, stretched out his hand and touched it lightly, thinking that the shadow of the dark night mentioned in the written script is naturally the daughter of Hades, that is, Sangsang. .

The shadow of the dark night falls on the moon, and it can no longer be washed away... From the literal meaning and the current situation, this month naturally refers to myself, and indeed the only person in the entire world has seen the moon.

Ning Que was thoughtful and enlightened, but still perplexed.

There were several unpleasant quacks from outside the window. He confirmed that no one was outside the courtyard, opened the door and walked into the courtyard, looked at the black crows on the tree, and frowned slightly.

On the first night when I came to the courtyard, a crow flew up. After these days, a black crow flew up every day. Gradually, there were more and more branches. weight.

No matter how you look at it, this thing is strange.

He raised his head and looked at the sky. The clouds above Chaoyang City became more and more. Those clouds have been slowly approaching and merging, gradually becoming thick clouds covering the sky.

As the clouds thickened, the people in the city finally felt a bit of chill, and autumn was finally over.

For Ning Que and Sangsang, the fall of the previous year and the fall of this year are connected together. In these two autumns, too many things have happened to them, why not make people feel emotional?
