Nightfall Chapter 118: greedy

Suddenly a bell rang in a temple not far from the street.

Ning Que is closing his umbrella. He was tortured by the bell in the Xuankong Temple in extreme pain. At this time, he heard the bell again, and he was startled and grabbed Sangsang's hand.

Sangsang looked at him with no emotion in his eyes. Ning Que only remembered that he had left Xuankong Temple, and a little embarrassedly let go of his hand, and put his back behind him like her.

The bells in Chaoyang City are getting louder and louder, and all the temples are ringing bells. Ning Que can hear clearly. The loudest bell is from the north of the city. It should be the ancient bell in the Baita Temple.

Some pedestrians are eating jelly, some are holding banana leaves for pilaf, some are watching a monkey show, all kinds of joy, listening to the bell, quickly put down what they are in, and walk to the nearest temple go with.

Some people couldn't leave, kneeling directly on the street, praying with their hands together. The monkey-playing guy also knelt to the ground in fear, and easily knocked the naughty monkey to the ground.

The only people who are still standing are Ning Que and Sangsang. Those devout Buddhist followers, although they did not cast hostile glances at them, they were a little puzzled.

The changes brought about by the bells are actually very cute, much like some kind of flash event that Ning Que had seen in that world. The little monkey who was gently pressed by the owner kept turning his eyes, and it was very Cute, but because he had seen the tragic world under the Xuankong Temple, Ning Que suddenly felt a little sick.

Sangsang naturally hates these images even more, flicking his sleeves.

Between flicking, flowers bloomed on the green sleeves, a gust of wind arose on the street, blowing down the jelly stalls, blowing away the rice grains on the banana leaves, and fascinated the eyes of many people. The monkey-playing guy went to rub it. eye. Forgot to grab the rope again, and the little monkey who was free ran out without running away, only looking for spicy rice in the flapping banana leaves, eating very happily.

The bell of the temple on the street was also blown by the wind, the rhythm of the bell became messy, and the wind remained unstoppable and rose towards the sky. The clouds above Chaoyang City were blown into countless groups.

Sangsang was somewhat satisfied, and kept walking forward with his hands on his back.

Ning Que looked at her back, but became silent.

At the beginning of Xiling Temple, she didn't need to do anything, and she never even thought about it. It's just that the mood is a little restless, there are stars coming and going, and there are countless clouds coming from thousands of miles away, thunder and lightning on the top of Taoshan Peak. But after leaving Xiling, especially after entering the depths of the wasteland, when fighting or angry, she began to move her blue sleeves...

Sangsang now. The power of the gods is still far beyond what human beings can imagine, but compared to her once truly omnipotent, she has indeed become a lot weaker.

Ning Que was a little uneasy, but couldn't say anything. Because she will gradually become weak, because the master left human power in her body, because of the long and joyous journey two years ago, but now it is such a dangerous journey to come, and because he took her in the world walk. Don't let her go back.

The streets are full of wind-blown smoke and dust, and the smoke and dust are full of the smell of spices. Some people are choking. I don't know if it's because the people here have been used to them since they were young. They can't hear any coughing.

Walking in the smoke and dust is also walking on the old road.

Ning Que and Sangsang lived in this city for a long time. He used to flee here carrying her on his back. Many streets and lanes have left his footprints and many people killed by him. It’s just that the past three years have passed, and those bloodstains have long been invisible.

……

……

Enter the chessboard on the cliff of Xuankong Temple, and when you come out, you will arrive at Chaoyang City. It seems incredible, but in fact there is only one possibility. Just like in Lanke Temple that year, there are also between Xuankong Temple and Chaoyang City. The space channel opened by the Buddha, this chessboard is the key to open this space channel.

Back then, Ning Que and Sangsang went directly to the Xuankong Temple in the depths of the Western Wilderness from Lanke Temple in the southeast corner, and today they went directly to Chaoyang City from the Xuankong Temple.

The two are walking in Chaoyang City at this time. It seems that they are naturally looking for the traces of the Buddha, but in fact, both Sangsang and Ning Que are very clear that Buddha cannot be in this city.

In the world, it is impossible to hide Haotian's eyes.

Ning Que didn't say to break this point, nor did Sangsang. The two seemed to be looking for the Buddha, and since they are looking, it naturally takes time.

"Find a place to live first, and then look for it slowly," he said.

Sangsang did not speak, and silence means she agrees. If she wants to object, she will speak directly, or she will use Ning Que to show her attitude by slashing.

In a noisy neighborhood in the north of the city, there is a very quiet or even silent courtyard. It is the small courtyard where the two of them lived before. Years have passed and no one cares about it.

Pushing open the courtyard door, the courtyard is still so quiet. The black cloth that Ning Que covered on the windows was still hanging, but it was stained with a lot of dust, and the putty in the window of the wood room had dried and peeled off.

Sangsang looked at the dilapidated small courtyard. A moist wind came from the back of the courtyard. In an instant, all the dust in the house was taken away, and the small courtyard suddenly became very clean.

She opened the door of the wood house, thought for a while, didn't go in, turned around and walked into the bedroom, and lay on the bed. Now she is no longer the daughter of Hades, so naturally there is no need to hide from anyone.

"Cook more vegetables to eat at night," she said.

Ning Que responded, walked to the firewood in the yard preparing to cook, looked at the lonely tree, but was a little bit reluctant to start, where is the black crow on the branch back then?

The creek behind the yard is still there, and there are still trees beside the creek. He cut enough wood branches with his palm. When he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a deep fist mark on a tree.

Back then, he had to take care of the seriously ill Sangsang. He had to always be vigilant against the pursuit of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism. He was always anxious and nervous. When he was about to be unable to support it, he went to the stream and wanted to hit the tree. He vented his fist, but he didn't think that his fist was so hard that he almost broke the tree with one punch.

Looking at the fist marks on the tree, Ning Que laughed. He was very happy that the tree was not broken and that his fist marks were still there, because these were his most cherished memories.

Like the tree in the yard, and the black crow that once fell on the tree.

He piled the wooden branches to the corner of the courtyard. He opened the bedroom door and walked to the bed. Looking at the sleeping Sangsang, he asked, "What kind of food do you want to eat? I'm not familiar with the produce of Moon Country."

Sangsang opened his eyes, his eyes bright and clear. There was no tiredness or ambiguity after waking up, Ning Que had never figured out what sleep meant for her.

She thought for a while and said, "I will go shopping with you."

The two went to the vegetable market and bought a lot of vegetables, then went to the grocery store to buy the rice, oil, salt and vinegar pots and pans, and cut a pound of pork belly. They went home and made a very hearty dinner. .

Ning Que’s thing is naturally to mention vegetables. Cooking is also his business, and washing dishes is even more his business. In these processes, Sangsang just followed him with his hands behind his back, sometimes looking at him. Sometimes look at the sky.

Ning Que squatted in front of the basin to wash the dishes. He felt that the work was even harder than killing the horse thief in the past. After a while, he felt aches and pains in his waist and back. Looking at the appearance of Sangsang with his hands behind his back at the door, he became annoyed.

"I can't beat you now. I don't need to do more housework. I don't care if you don't help. Haotian, of course, noble. Where can I get some green onion and **** water, even if you are watching the excitement next to me. But Can you trouble you with something, can you not carry your hands?"

He complained: "You are like a leader checking work, it hurts the enthusiasm for work!"

Sangsang ignored him and walked into the room. He looked back and said, "I want to drink tea."

God said there must be light. Then there is light in the world.

Sangsang is the **** of this world. She said that if she wants to drink tea, she naturally needs tea. She can make countless kinds of good tea, but she doesn't know why, so she wants to buy it instead.

Ning Que is indeed a little tired, but also a little happy, because he knows that Sangsang's performance proves that her connection with the world is getting deeper and deeper, and she is becoming more and more human.

At the same night, he knocked on the door of the largest tea house in Chaoyang City, bought seventy-four kinds of the most famous tea from various countries with two taels of silver, and also packed a number of expensive tea sets.

After drinking tea for three days, Sangsang suddenly said: "I want to play chess."

So Ning Que went around searching for the best chess tools, but it was more troublesome to meet Sangsang's requirements this time, because things like chess always require opponents.

"You are too bad." Sangsang said to him, looking at the whites on the chessboard.

As a man, the thing I hate the most is the woman who loses to him when playing chess and cards. Ning Que was already extremely upset at this time, and he was extremely annoyed by this.

"We humble humans, where are the opponents of the great Haotian."

This is Sangsang's most frequently used evaluation of human beings, and it is very resentful when he speaks it from his mouth.

Sangsang's expression remained unchanged, and said: "Humans are indeed humble, but some people are relatively better. Chen Pipi is much stronger than you in these aspects."

As a man, the thing I really hate most is to be judged by my own woman as inferior to other men, even if that man is a good brother who lives and died with you.

Ning Que furiously said: "I can't get him from Linkang City."

Sangsang said: "Then you have to think of other ways."

The next day, the three most famous chess players in Chaoyang City were invited to the courtyard by Ning Que.

Or kidnapping is more appropriate.

In addition to drinking tea, playing chess and listening to play, Ning Que and Sangsang sometimes go to Chaoyang City to stroll around, see the White Tower, and walk around the lake. She still habitually carries her hands on her back.

Dozens of days have been passed peacefully.

They seem to be looking for something in Chaoyang City, but in fact they didn't find anything. They didn't ask where to go or what to do, but only asked what to eat tomorrow, and they were silently silent.

One night, Ning Que peeled off a mangosteen and turned the white nuts to Sangsang’s face. He laughed and said, "Do you think this looks like an ass?"

Sangsang has few expressions on his face, he has been a little unwilling.

He also failed this time.

Sangsang looked at him quietly for a long time, then suddenly said, "Aren't we greedy?"

Ning Que was silent for a moment, fed the mangosteen in her mouth, then walked to the yard and played a knife trick, took a bath in the stream, and said, "I'll go to bed first." /

Sangsang sat at the table and looked at the tree outside the window without saying anything.

She used to want to return to the Haotian Divine Kingdom that way, because this is her mission. As long as she removes the hidden danger of Buddha and kills Ning Que, she can go back.

But she and Ning Que are each other's destiny. If Ning Que dies, she will die too. It will be Haotian who returns to the kingdom of God, instead of her who has the name Sangsang, she will no longer is her.

She wants to continue to be her. She wants to continue to have the name Sangsang. What makes her angry and upset is that she wants to continue to be with him and live in the small courtyard like this.

Green vegetables, fatty pork, white rice, tea and Yixian watching the sky, this experience is not very bad.

So she didn't want the Buddha, the academy, the Taoist school, the kingdom of God, and the world. As long as such days continue, she will continue to be her, and she will continue to have him by her side.

Yes, she is really greedy.

Ning Que once asked a question outside Chang'an City: The world is safe and secure, and Chang'an is not worthy of the Qing. In fact, he knows that there is no such kind of duality in the world.

He was not afraid of death. At that time, he could actually threaten Sangsang to enter Chang'an with suicide, and then the academy would use a shocking formation to calm her down, and neither Buddhism nor Daomen could do anything about it.

But he...reluctant.

So he took her to live in this small courtyard in Chaoyang City, and ignored what was happening in the world, did not think about the academy, did not go to the Buddha, or thought about anything.

Yes, he is also very greedy.

……

……

The greed for a moment of joy, one moment is one moment, one day is one day. After the conversation that night, Ning Que and Sangsang never said anything about this.

The ordinary human life continued in this way. It has been half a year since they came to Chaoyang City, and the wind and rain outside have nothing to do with them.

After the beginning of spring, Chaoyang City was very lively. There were theaters everywhere. One evening, Ning Que and Sangsang came back from the theater and bought half a catty of pig's head meat on the street by the way, which easily resolved dinner.

Sangsang looked at the few pieces of pork head meat left in the bowl, and suddenly said: "There are too few vegetables."

Ning Que thought that life passed for a long time, and who was annoyed to make a table every day? He naturally changed the subject: "Make something delicious tomorrow. By the way, does today's play feel good?"

Sangsang showed no expression on his face, got up and walked outside the courtyard.

Ning Que was startled slightly, put the bowls and chopsticks in the basin, wiped off the water on his hands, and ran after her.

Standing in the woods by the stream, she held her hands behind her back, looking at the sky silently.

Ning Que looked at the fist mark on the tree and found that within half a year, because of the rebirth of the bark, it had become a lot shallower, and naturally it appeared a lot lighter.

His mood faded, is he going to leave after all?

Sangsang said: "Being together is not really being together."

Ning Que understood what she meant, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Being together is because we should be together, not because I want to keep you in the world in this way."

Sangsang did not speak for a long time.

Ning Que said: "You can know what I'm thinking."

Sangsang said: "Yes, I know you think so, but it is still greedy."

Ning Que looked at her profile and asked, "Greed is not a sin."

Sangsang looked at the sky and said, "It's wrong."

What is greed? Like is greedy.

Because I like it, I am greedy.

Even if you are greedy for a while in the world, you will win but the kingdom of God is countless.

It was just a moment, after all, it was too short.
