Nightfall Chapter 34: Discontinued hair

Because of the Light Sacrifice, such powerful men as the King’s Court of the Golden Account and Qi Nian of the Xuankong Temple have all come to the Xiling Temple, and Ning Que can’t resist it. Therefore, he has been particularly low-key these days. Most of the time, I stayed in the Tianyuyuan, that is, the cliff is no longer going.

According to his acting style, logically speaking, he should not let himself into such a dangerous situation. In fact, in the original plan, he sneaked into the Xiling Temple and only stayed for a month at most, and he was officially at the Light Festival. Before the convening, he had to start to do it, but he didn't expect that the situation had changed suddenly. Chen Pippi was imprisoned in the secluded pavilion by the Xiling Temple, so he could only continue to wait.

Before leaving Qinghe County, he had told Wang Jinglue that he would come back in at most one month. Now it’s autumn, but he couldn’t leave. He had to send another message to Qinghe County, asking Wang Jinglue to wait for a while, as for Wang Jinglue. There might be problems with Bian's arrangement, so he had to ignore it temporarily.

It was night, and he returned to the Tianyuyuan to take out the arrow box and the iron knife, and walked along the path behind the courtyard to Taoshan Qianping. The front ground of Momoyama is lined up with several shrines on the summit. It is extremely wide and can accommodate tens of thousands of worshippers at the same time. It is the place where the Illumination Festival is held. The deacons in the shrine are sorting out the venue, not far away. There are several high-level formation masters who are strengthening the surrounding area of ​​Qianping. Presumably when the Light Festival is officially held, the temple also arranged some dazzling miracles to show.

Ning Que, wearing the clothes of a handyman in the Tianyuyuan, looks like a small servant in Tsing Yi, unobtrusive. Although the guards at Taoshan Qianping are strict, his speed and response have long surpassed that of ordinary humans. He sneaked into the woods on the left side, digging up the mud on the side of the plateau and buried the arrow box and iron knife in it.

He patted off the mud on his body, looked at countless torches in the night, looked at the deacons of the temple with nervous expressions on their faces, imagined the grand scene when the Light Festival was held a few days later, even he started Tensed, then he looked at the four temples on the summit, frowning slightly.

Tonight, he did not look at the Temple of Light, but at the black Temple of Judgment on the edge of the cliff. The Temple of Judgment was separated from the other three temples a bit far away, solemn and lonely.

His last resort was on the Mo Jade God Seat of the Judgment Temple. It was just the temperament of the woman on the Mo Jade God Seat. This was too risky, so he could not make up his mind. However, as time passed, Chen Pi Pi was about to be burned to death, he could only try.

I heard that after Ye Hongyu returned to Taoshan from Chang'an, he was still unable to meditate in the temple. After he came to Xiling Temple, he had never seen her. Since he couldn't meet her, he had to go and see.

……

……

It's autumn in Qinghe County.

Wang Jinglue received the secret letter transferred via Chang'an City, and was silent for a long time, put on the hat again, and left the residence with a carriage, and came to an ordinary house in Yangzhou City.

The sound of coughing kept ringing in the house. He stood outside the door for a while, confirmed that there was no ambush, then walked into the house, put the medicinal materials he bought on the table, and then asked: "How are you thinking? ?"

A young man was lying on the bed, his thin cheeks were very pale, his expression was very haggard, and the smell of medicine in the room could not completely cover the **** smell coming from behind the bed.

There is a pile of gauze behind the bed, stained with blood.

This man was named Cui Huasheng, a child of the Cui Clan. His wife, Qiu, was the former Tang Ruyang Zhizhou Qiu Fangwu **. On the day of the rebellion, Qiu's family was wiped out by the rebels, and his wife died on the spot.

Cui Huasheng was angry because of his anger, and made an angry statement in Yangzhou City. Finally, the Cui clan used his family method to beat him up in the clan shrine, and he was released after hanging out for three days.

The family laws of the Qinghe surnames have always been tough. If Cui Huasheng were not the nephew of the patriarch Cui Shi, he would be beaten to death. Even so, he was also seriously injured, although he survived by chance. The wound on his body was never healed, and he could only suffer like this on the sick bed.

Cui Huasheng looked at this man wearing a hat, and said with a low voice, "If I want to go to Fuchunjiang and enter Cuiyuan, it will not be difficult, but it will take time."

Wang Jinglue took off the hat and said, "Why does it take time?"

Seeing him taking off his hat and revealing his true face, Cui Huasheng trusted him more and said: "It will take some time to act as regret and admit mistakes, otherwise no one will believe it."

Wang Jing nodded slightly, and said: "It makes sense. I was really worried that it might look too blunt, but now we have more time to come out."

Cui Huasheng said: "Cui Shi's birthday banquet has passed, and there are still some days for Cui Yuan to entertain guests next time."

Wang Jing just calculated the time, which happened to overlap with the date of the Light Festival, and said: "That's right."

Cui Huasheng didn't know what to think of, and coughed again. It took a long time to calm down. He looked at him and asked seriously: "Don't you worry about killing too many people and forcing the temple to take action?"

Wang Jinglue thought to himself, as long as Ning Que takes a shot at the Illumination Festival, this war that has just been suspended for more than half a year will inevitably start again, so what else is there to worry about?

……

……

Datang has just recovered from the war and is not ready to confront the whole world again. This kind of preparation will take some time, both psychologically and in terms of resources.

But the Academy has made such preparations, and firmly believes that as long as Ning Que can execute the plan perfectly, Xiling Temple will not dare to start a war easily. What really worries the academy is the two big knives of the alcoholic and the butcher that have always been hanging outside Chang'an. However, because of this, the academy must implement this plan very firmly. Only by this can the two people dare not dare. Do it, even if only temporarily.

Elder brother is not in the back mountain of the academy. He should still be in charge of the restoration of the Shocking Array in the palace. The fourth and sixth brothers are also assistants there. The third sister Yu Lian has drifted away after the war, and the rest are still there. In the long process of healing, now the second senior brother sits at the back of the college.

Jun Mo is a swordsman. If he wants to protect the back mountain of the academy, he has to sharpen his sword. So these days, he has been sitting under the waterfall behind the courtyard to sharpen his sword.

He kept sharpening his sword, day and night, and now he has worn through more than ten hard stones, his heart still can't calm down, like a sleeve on his arm swinging gently in the wind.

Muyu walked to the pond with a food container, looked at his empty sleeves and his meticulously combed gray hair, his heart was slightly gloomy, and then said softly: "The teacher once said that Pippi is so happy that he lives in this life The fate is bound to be profound. The younger brother is in Taoshan and he must be rescued."

Jun Mo's heart is not at peace, not because of gray hair and broken arms, not because he has no hope of using swords to reach the realm of teacher or junior uncle in this life, but because Chen Pipi is dying.

In the back mountains of the academy, he taught Chen Pipi the most times, beat him the most times with the rules of the academy, and spoke the most. He had the closest relationship with Chen Pipi.

The Light Festival is about to be held, and Chen Pipi is about to die, but he can only sit by the pool, grinding this iron sword that seems to be constantly grinding, how can he be calm?

"There are many powerful people in the Xiling Temple. I heard that the realm of Sect Leadership has been restored, and there are the golden sticks of the golden tent and the bald donkeys of the Hanging Temple. Although the plan of the brother seems to have no loopholes, the execution ability of the younger brother is also world-class. But we didn’t know in advance that Pippi was in Momoyama, so I don’t worry."

Muyou knew that no matter what he said, he couldn't make him feel better. He put the food box on the rock by the pond and said: "Eat first, and remember to go home to sleep at night. It’s cool outside at night."

Listening to the word "go home", Jun Mo was a little uncomfortable, but he still knew what he should do, got up and said, "I have been working hard these days, I will... go home at night."

……

……

After eating by the pool, Jun Mo continued to sharpen his sword. The hard bluestone surface was ground into a very fine powder by the iron sword, and it fell on the water surface to fluctuate from time to time. This is probably a strong foam.

Two teenagers came to the pond, brought water for him, and brought the food box back to the courtyard.

Looking at Jun Mo's lonely back, the two hesitated, and finally Li Guangdi bravely said: "Teacher, I heard from Master that day if you read more Buddhist scriptures..."

After Li Guangdi and Zhang Nianzu were sent to the academy by Ning Que, they have not officially started their practice. They have not met for the first time, they are just ordinary people, but they have had a lot of contact with the uncles in the back mountain, and they have vaguely understood some principles of practice. , Or just vaguely understood some words, and seeing Master grinding the sword by the pool, they were also very anxious, and they were so unreserved that they wanted to give Jun Mo some ideas.

Li Guangdi’s voice is getting smaller and smaller, because he himself feels that he is talking nonsense, and they know from the five masters that the teacher hates the Dharma and the monks most. It is said that the stone statue of the Washan Buddha in Ke Temple was crushed. , It was cut down by the teacher with a sword, and he actually wanted the teacher to practice Buddha, this is really looking for death.

Jun Mo didn't look back and didn't get angry, and said: "After going to the town, listening to Chao Xiaoshu, although you haven't started to practice, since you are disciples of the academy, you can't shame the academy."

When Ning Que took the students from the front yard of the college to the wasteland many years ago, he said this sentence. The requirements in this sentence are very simple, but there is also a lot of pressure.

The two teenagers thought about leaving soon, thinking about the things to do, and they were a little afraid, looking at the teacher's back, they were a little bit unwilling.

Zhang Nianzu hesitated and said: "Teacher, we may not be able to come back alive this time... Don't worry, we are not afraid, and we will not shame the college, but..."

Jun Mo didn't let his disciples finish speaking, he turned around and looked at them and said, "As long as you want to live, you will be able to live. Even if Haotian came to ask me, I only have this answer."

That night, Jun Mo stopped sharpening his sword and returned to the courtyard.

Muyou made him a supper, and delivered breakfast again early the next morning, and sent Zhang Nianzu and Li Guangdi out of the Cloud Gate Array, and kept sending them to the front yard of the college.

Two teenagers knelt down and bowed to her.

Li Guangdi said: "Sister, you'd better go back earlier, I'm still worried about the teacher."

Muyou smiled and touched his head, but didn't leave. It wasn't until the carriage drove off the meadow before turning to leave. Since she was a teacher, she always looked like a teacher.

When she returned to the Houshan courtyard, she realized that, as Li Guangdi said, she should come back earlier.

She looked at the gray hair all over the floor, shocked. When Jun Mo raised her head from the well, her body was even more shaky and almost fainted like this.

Jun Mo is a person who pays attention to appearance and posture. His hair is always combed so neatly. Whether it is black or gray, the ancient crown is always so straight and straight.

Now he can no longer comb his hair as meticulously as before, and he can no longer wear that iconic ancient crown because he has cut his hair.
