Nightfall Chapter 18: Monthly shortage

Preaching in the market, this is Ye Su’s self-salvation, and it will also lead the world to launch self-salvation. For the Haotian doctrine, which has been sustaining the world for countless thousands of years, this change may seem small, but in fact It is a revolutionary change. The worship of Haotian will be replaced by new doctrines, and the yearning for the kingdom of God will be replaced by love for the world. This is why Ning Que is shocked.

Ye Su looked at Ning Que and said, “Preaching is actually a process of consolidating people’s hearts and unifying beliefs. I am also trying to do it. There are more precedents in Taoist classics. If you are interested in this, Why not go to the Book Hall of Xiling Temple, where there are many books."

Ning Que lived in Linkang City, and Ye Su discussed and studied with each other. The more contact he got, the more he admired Ye Su. He found that the man living in the ruined house seemed to be The sharpening stone with countless knives is so gentle on the surface, so firm on the inside, with a lot of roughness that is invisible to the naked eye. It grinds the scriptures in the scriptures into fine powder and becomes his own. idea.

In the discussions these days, Ye Su never expressed his opinion on how Ning Que could write that word. As at the beginning, he just calmly talked about his own learning gains in this life and the feelings he had traveled to various countries over the years. Ye Su has read a wide range of books and has studied teaching classics since childhood. Ning Que is equivalent to a systematic study of Taoist theory.

During the discussion, Ye Su put forward an interesting hypothesis. If Haotian as the master said is the rule of this world, then how does the objective and cold rule have life and power? He believes that the greatest possibility comes from the beliefs of the people. Ning Que feels that this assumption makes sense, but thinks of the eternal night that will appear once every tens of thousands of years, and feels that there is something that makes no sense.

In addition to discussion, Ye Su teaches the children in the streets as usual every day, teaching woodworking, knitting and wine making methods, and will also briefly tell stories from the teachings.

In the midsummer, the city of Linkang rained frequently, and this block of temporary buildings and old houses in disrepair seemed so vulnerable under the attack of heavy rain, and houses collapsed every day.

Ye Su took the children everywhere to rescue people, helped repair the eaves damaged by rain, and even started planning to start a comprehensive renovation of the drainage system in this block after the winter.

Because the Jiange disciples occasionally come, Ning Que rarely walks out of the ruined house, and naturally did not help with these things. He just quietly observes the whole process and gradually gains.

The last torrential rain lasted for three days. Just when everyone was exhausted and desperate, the rain suddenly stopped and the sky suddenly cleared.

Countless cheers were heard in the rain-soaked streets. Ye Su carried the medicine box and went back and forth between the houses. After the rain, there were too many mosquitoes. This kind of disease made him wary.

Ning Que emptied the three broken bowls in front of the bed that received rainwater, looked up at the sun in the hole in the roof, and wondered why you suddenly stopped crying?

When Ye Su returned to the ruined house, he was already very tired. He handed the bowl of green cabbage rice to Ning Que and said, "I feel a little sick today. You can eat it first."

Ning Que looked at his pale and thin face sick, thinking that his current body is not as good as an ordinary person, and if he persists like this, he may become a dead man before he becomes a saint.

"Stop eating." He looked at the porcelain blue sky on the broken roof and said, "I have to go."

Ye Su said: "I have nothing to teach you anymore, you should definitely leave."

Ning Que looked back at him, frowning slightly.

Ye Su smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, the emotion of pity is a delicious poison for you now. I will not hate you just because you want to kill me." /

Ning Que thought for a while, and said, "I still think it's a pity to kill you."

Ye Su said: "If you leave the city of Chang'an and let me spread it out, no matter how smart you are to learn, you can only write a dead word in the end."

Ning Que said: "I hope you can live, and I think you should also want me to live."

Ye Su asked: "Why?"

Ning Que said: "What you are doing and what you will do is very interesting. Of course you will face a very difficult situation in the future, so you should need me."

Ye Su didn't speak, just smiled.

Ning Que looked into his eyes and said seriously: "You need Datang and the Academy."

Ye Su still didn't pick him up, and said, "Since you don't kill me, please settle the tuition before leaving."

Ning Que didn't take this sentence as a joke, took out the silver ticket from his arms, counted one, and passed it.

Ye Su took it and looked at it. It was a one hundred taels of silver bill, and said with a smile: "The rumor has it that you and the one who is addicted to money like life, now seems to be true."

Ning Que said: "The tuition paid by those students is just a few bowls of vegetable rice. Isn't it enough for me to give a hundred taels?"

Ye Su said: "A bowl of vegetable rice with oil residue is more important to you than a hundred taels of silver to those children. Don't forget that it is white rice."

Ning Que thought for a while, it was indeed the truth, and said: "Then I will make up some more."

Ye Su said: "You help me buy something."

……

……

Ning Que returned to this street from the market, stepped on the broken bricks in the sewage room, and squeezed through the crowded shanty like dancing to a house.

Several mud monkey-like little boys are holding a bowl of sorghum rice and eating happily. The mother is staring at the thinner and thinner piece of meat tied to the stove. The curtain in the corner is lifted. The girl came out carrying her pants and looked at her mother and said, "Sir, I want you to buy me a belt."

My mother said in a maddening voice: "Did you cut a cloth tape last night? I am walking in the street every day, and the strong cloth tape will be broken by you. Where else can I buy it?"

Ning Que called to the girl with a displeased face, and passed what was in her hand.

The girl was still very young, but she seemed very sensible, took things and asked: "Who are you?"

Ning Que looked at the messy hair of the little girl and said, "I am your teacher's friend. This is the belt he asked me to buy, and the flower head he promised to give you before."

……

……

In the city of Linkang in midsummer, as soon as the heavy rain stopped, there was intense heat. The humidity in the air was too high, and the sewage on the ground could not be evaporated for a while, giving off an unpleasant smell.

Yes Su sent Ning Que to leave and came to a quiet place outside the streets. Ning Que turned to look at him and said: "The little girl is very happy, I said you don't have any other ideas, right?"

"She is called Huanzi, she is a girl." Ye Su said.

Ning Que said: "What do you explain so seriously? It's just a joke before leaving."

Ye Su said: "I don't know you very well."

Ning Que said: "I know her very well."

Ye Su said: "Who is she?"

Ning Que said: "Your sister."

Ye Su felt as if he had heard these two words somewhere, and then remembered that many years ago he asked Mr. Ning Que where he learned Dahejian from Chang'an Snow City, and also heard these two words.

"The people in the college are really annoying sometimes."

He looked at Ning Que and said, "So I still don't understand why you refuse to kill me."

"You used to be annoying, but now it's good. Although I have always been a person who is not afraid of killing, I just need a reason or emotion to kill."

Ning Que told him what he had done in Qinghe County, and then said: "Let Wudao kill Zhong Dajun, to help Guanhai solve some problems, and at the same time to frighten Qinghe, to express my breath, the most important thing I want to tie Buddhism... at least Lanke Temple is tied to the academy. And meeting you in Linkang City makes me think of another possibility, or the future of the Haotian Dao Sect is on your body, then Why should I kill you?"

……

……

Ning Que didn't go very far when he heard the sound of children reading in the streets. More precisely, it was not reading, but reciting the method of weaving flowers.

He turned around and looked at this street and alleys, and saw mists and childish sounds in the twilight. Farther away, he couldn't smell the smell, but only saw the picture, which was somewhat different and beautiful. .

The current Ye Su combines some concepts of Buddhism and academies, plus his experience in Xiaodao Temple, has his own view of the world, and this has betrayed Haotian.

Before Qingxia, he had already betrayed Haotian. In Chang'an City, the master also betrayed Haotian. The truly powerful people, even the most pious Haotian believers, as long as they are really willing to think , Then one day they will find their own way.

"Everyone will leave you."

Ning Que looked at the sky of Linkang City and spoke to her.

He didn't get any direct wisdom from Ye Su these days, but he at least understood one truth-if you want to be holy in the world, you can't ask all the sages.

……

……

After leaving Linkang City, Ning Que never entered the city again. He only walked in the mountains. There was no abnormality all the way, until he was about to approach the Kingdom of Xiling.

He wrapped a bed between solid branches with a cloth tape. After nightfall, he rested on his side in a hammock, accompanied by the breeze and lightness of the summer night, and soon fell into a sweet dreamland.

Suddenly, there was crackling firecrackers in the distance. He was awakened, rubbing his eyes and looking down the mountain, only to see firecrackers being set off everywhere in the small village.

He is a little puzzled. It's not a New Year or a festival. The Illumination is still many days away. Why are people in the village setting off firecrackers? Could it be that someone died?

Even if someone is dead, it is impossible for every household to release it.

When the faint sound of firecrackers was heard from the far side of the mountain beam, Ning Que knew that something must have happened, and his expression gradually became serious.

He suddenly noticed that the moonlight in the forest was a little pale, or compared with the usual moonlight, it was just a little faint. Ordinary people probably wouldn't notice, but for him and the college who often looked at the moon and scolded the teacher For everyone, this is light but very dazzling.

Ning Que looked up at Night Sky, and then couldn't remove his eyes again.

The bright moon in the night sky, I don't know when one is missing.
