Nightfall Chapter 56: Sages are never lonely

In the azure blue sky, more and more flowing clouds gathered, gathering over the city, covering the sun strictly behind it, making the world dim like the words of the people singing.

The flames on Ye Su's body became more and more vigorous, and his voice had completely stopped. In the raging fire, he could no longer see his face. His whole body was burning, like a beacon spreading light.

The light radiating to the world suddenly converged, and then headed towards the sky from the pyre. It was a holy beam of light, coming from his body, falling in the deepest part of the distant sky.

The dark sky was lit up in an area, not as bright and blazing as the sun, but more real, because the thousands of people kneeling on the ground could clearly see what was there.

——There is a clear blue sky, dark clouds, relative darkness and real light.

The light field suddenly dimmed again and quickly returned to its original appearance.

The raging fire on the pyre has risen into the air, as if to burn through the sky. Ye Su's figure has long since disappeared, and I can't see it at all. What's strange is that there is nothing terrible in the sky in the small courtyard. On the contrary, the scent is overflowing with a faint fragrance, which makes people feel very peaceful.

That beam of light, the illuminated sky, these strange fragrances, is sanctification?

No one knows, Long Qing doesn't know, tens of thousands of people on the ground don't know, no one knows about the temple cavalry, Xiaoyu and the priests standing outside the courtyard.

The pictures of sanctification recorded in the Xiling Church have nothing to do with today's story. It is impossible for anyone to know what happened. Including the subject.

This is not important.

Ye Su has been sanctified and has nothing to do with religion. It has nothing to do with the kingdom of God in the sky. His sanctification is sanctification in the world, sanctification in the hearts of believers, and he is already a saint.

Regardless of whether Tang Guohe Academy can win this war, Protestantism will inevitably spread in the world. No one can stop this turmoil. He will be regarded as a saint by countless believers.

Then he is a saint.

Snow suddenly fell in the sky--flowing clouds gathered into thick clouds. The sky was covered, and ice crystals began to condense in the depths of the clouds without the sun, and there were snowflakes falling.

Snowflakes are falling, dancing with the wind, falling on the streets of the city, on the people kneeling on the square, and on the small courtyard. Landed on the burning pyre.

When encountering a human-depleting flame, the snow melts into water, and the snow becomes more intense, and the more water melts, the wood is soaked, and the fire is suppressed less and less. I don't know how long it finally went out.

The chanting of tens of thousands of people finally gradually stopped. People looked into the small courtyard with the last hope in their eyes, wanting to see the miracle happen, but sadly discovered that the miracle did not exist.

The cross-shaped wooden pile has been charred and collapsed. The extinguished pyre was in a mess, and there was no such person. Even the rope that tied him has been burned to ashes.

Snowflakes fell in the crowd, on people’s shoulders, and some on people’s faces, melted into water by body temperature, moisturizing the lips that were dry due to anxiety and sadness, and people drinking the snow like spring springs Water began to cry-the sound of weeping gradually increased, and the sadness was endless, and I wanted to destroy the hearts and livers of people.

Weeping, snow falling, time passed slowly, the snow clouds in the sky never dissipated, the people on the square gradually dispersed, thousands of Protestant believers helped each other to leave, the whole process did not happen During any conflict and killing, no one was imprisoned, because Long Qing did not speak.

He stood in front of the pyre, expressionless.

After a long time, the snow continued to fall, the last sparks in the extinguished pyre were extinguished, the warm steam disappeared without a trace, and it was gradually covered by thick snow, and the ash below was no longer visible .

It's white and it's really clean.

……

……

Suddenly there was a thunder in the sky.

After that, there was a second thunder.

Two waves of thunder are endless, following each other, going back and forth between heaven and earth.

The Xiling Temple Cavalry, Xiao Yu and other powerful men on the square looked at the place where the thunder began, showing a vigilant look, but more fear and anxiety, like hearing the sky.

The sound of thunder keeps changing its position. Where is the location that mortals can capture, the thundering horror, the sky is unpredictable, and where is the mortal being vigilant to prevent it, what is this thunder?

Long Qing raised his head and looked at the sky, looking at the two thunders and the invisible force in the thunder, as he guessed who came, but his expression was as calm as before.

Suddenly a storm broke out on the sea outside Song Dynasty, and the storm quickly landed on the shore. Countless seawater fell to pieces on the famous breakwater, and the remnants of the storm came to the square and turned into a violent sound.

The clouds above the city trembled slightly, with a strong vigor, spreading around from the place where the violent blast began, turning into a terrifying gust of wind, countless cavalry fell in the wind, and their horses screamed and wailed. The strong cultivator of, also needs to upgrade all cultivation bases, in order to barely support in the wind.

The wind gradually gathered and dispersed into the streets and houses like water. A circle about ten meters long appeared on the square. There was no snow or blood in that circle. It was clean and empty. There were only two people.

One person is wearing an old cotton-padded jacket and holding a short wooden stick in his hand. It is the master of the college. The other person is wearing a wine-smelling gown with a hip flask tied around his waist. The supreme alcoholic.

The big brother's jacket is full of cracks. I don't know how much blood drips from those cracks. The cotton is soaked, and he looks very embarrassed.

The situation of the alcoholic is not much better than him. There are stains all over his clothes, and his left shoulder is a little sunken, which seems to be hit by a stick. He wants to take a wine bottle and drink, but finds that his hands are shaking a bit.

The previous thunders, the thunders that wandered between the sky, the ocean and the earth, are they chasing each other, and they are in the boundless realm, still not forgetting to fight.

That was the highest-level battle in the spiritual realm, and it was also the hardest battle.

But in fact, this battle may not happen.

The alcoholic returned to the town yesterday, silent to the butcher, waiting for the future. The big brother stayed in the small building outside Linkang City, waiting for the outcome of the negotiation between the academy and Daomen. Each has its own anxiety.

When Taoshan changed last night, after Ye Su Xiansheng this morning, the drunkard’s anxiety did not disappear—the viewer was not convinced by Ning Que. He was very happy to see the current situation, but he was still uneasy.

He thought that this kind of anxiety came from the Academy, and thought the Academy would save Ye Su at all costs, so he hurriedly left the town. Go back to the small building outside Linkang City and slowly meet Li again.

Like those days in the past few years, no distance is against no distance. Daomen and academy have exchanged the most important chess pieces. The drinker can't get rid of the big brother, and the big brother can't completely lock him.

When you meet, it is difficult to separate, whether you go to the mountains or the sea. So they began to fight, from the mountain to the sea, until the end, the big brother finally came here and was seriously injured.

Because he was coming, he was injured.

"Your college always likes to say that my body and spirit are rotten...what about you now?"

The alcoholic put his trembling hands behind him. He looked at him and said: "You have been with me for so many days, how long can you last? How many more times can you suffer from injuries like today?"

His face was a little pale, and his left shoulder was badly injured, but compared to the big brother who was covered in blood and had broken bones. It is much lighter, so he is qualified to say such things.

The big brother did not listen to him. He looked at the snowdrift in the small courtyard, felt the smell of embers from the bottom of the snow, was silent and looked a little depressed.

He was so badly injured that he could come to the court, but he was still late.

The sound of weeping faintly came from the distance of the city, not knowing whether it was for the innocent believers who died in the conflict, or for Ye Su who was buried in the flames, he listened silently.

After a while, he turned to look at the alcoholic and said, "You are in a small town, why bother to join the world?"

The alcoholic said: "You are in Chang'an, why bother to come here?"

The big brother said: "You are committing a crime."

The drunkard said: "It is the sin of the kingdom of God to the world? The Protestant has shaken the foundation of the kingdom of God, and he must die. If the Taoist does not do anything, I will do it too."

Long Qing has been silent since the appearance of the drunkard and the elder brother. He stood in the courtyard and looked at the two major practitioners who had only been able to look up before, with a calm expression and no fear at all.

Everything is in the calculation of the subject-no matter how uneasy the alcoholic is, before discovering the truth, he will inevitably start from the standpoint of Haotian and help Dao Sect kill Ye Su.

Because he and the butcher are very greedy, as if they are a collection of countless generations of human greed. They not only want eternal life, but also want eternity, and eternity can only be found in the Vast Sky Divine Kingdom. The Divine Kingdom is gone, what should they do?

In fact, if it were not for the fact that the master hadn't nodded his head, or the alcoholic and the butcher had already done something to Ye Su, these two great practitioners didn't care about the so-called sanctification.

They thought they had been sanctified, so what? They are not like mice, hiding in the world for tens of thousands of years, and finally become a dog of Haotian.

Of course, I understand the mind of the subject, especially Long Qing, who had a conversation with Ye Su before his death. At this time, he basically understood the truth of the whole thing. He knew that the alcoholic and the butcher would inevitably regret it in the future. But that is something in the future, and it will not affect the Dao Sect now, in the name of Haotian, using them like dogs.

Thinking of this festival, Long Qing's face showed a slight smile, without sarcasm, and appeared very sincere. It was a sincere ridicule. People like alcoholics and butchers would be dazzled by greed.

The five colors make people blind, and the five sounds make people deaf. The teachings really make sense.

The smile on Long Qing's face narrowed because someone looked over.

The big brother looked at him, was silent for a long time, and then asked: "Why?"

This is his incomprehension, and also the academy’s incomprehension. No one can figure out why Dao Sect did this. Burning Ye Su to help him become holy will not help destroy Protestantism. Let the Dao Sect split, at least it will be difficult to be truly trusted by the Dao Sect from now on.

What does the observer think?

"You can take Ning Que's failed attempt as all the reasons."

Long Qing said: "My brother's death is not a family matter. Without your college, he probably didn't need to die. At least, he wouldn't die so fast, so your sorrow is very boring."

After saying this, he bowed and saluted the big brother slightly, walked out of the small courtyard, and boarded the mounts led by his subordinates in the wind and snow, until he walked far away, did he put the script of the heavenly book in his arms again. in.

The big brother watched Long Qing's figure disappear into the wind and snow.

Outside Linkang City, he noticed the peculiarities of this person, and his feelings are clearer today, but he has no energy at this time but thinks about those things.

He looked into the small courtyard again, looked at the pyre that was constantly bearing the falling snow, then raised his head and looked at the falling snow in the sky, thinking of some past events in the past.

It was snowing in Chang'an that year. Many people entered the city. Qi Nian came and was trapped in the snow forest by Junior Sister. Jun Mo sat on the snow bridge all night. Junior Brother and Sangsang killed on the lake. When Xiahou died, he stood on the wall with Ye Su, watched the snow all night, and said a lot of indifferent things.

We met several times before and after, in front of Xiaodaoguan, deep in the snow peak of Tianqi Mountain...

In the earlier year, Sangsang was born in the world, and there was a black line on the wasteland. He was drinking and reading by the pool on the black line. Ye Su cut down the tree at the black line. I heard that he Speaking of an interesting Taoist scripture, and then began to travel around the country, intending to break through the life and death barrier, presumably at the last moment, he really broke through.

So, will he really die?

The big brother looked at Luoxue and was silent for a long time-Ye Su’s establishment of the Protestant Church has a lot to do with the academy, because Jun Mo turned him into a waste in front of Qingxia, and even more because he and Ye Su had done Those discussions.

Then he remembered that from many years ago, even before he joined the master, the person he most wanted to be was a scholar, a scholar who taught and educated people.

The scholar lived in a back alley and taught the poor children to live in poverty. He would eat and drink, but he would not change his pleasure or his way.

He wanted to be such a person. Unexpectedly, Ye Su did this before him. In the last years of his life, Ye Su has always been that kind of person.

A long time later, he stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake, turned to look at the alcoholic and said, "Abandon the whole world for immortality. Even if you succeed, don't you think it will be lonely?"

The drunkard said: "Death is the real loneliness, just like Ye Su. He is now sanctified, but he has no connection with the world. At this time, he is the real loneliness."

The big brother shook his head, calmly and surely said: "You are wrong, he will not be lonely."

Ye Su gave up decades of faith, just to make humans no longer need faith, he left this world, but left a lot of things, believing that those things will truly change the world,

There are still many people doing or about to do the same things as him. Jun Mo lit a wildfire at the bottom of the Tiankeng, and he will lead the academy to move forward. He is a saint, but there are many fellow travelers, how can he be lonely?

Since ancient times, sages should not be lonely.
