Nightfall Chapter 13: Farewell to a loss

Lanke Temple is far in the southeast, the road is far away, and no one wants to make the time too tight, so although the time of the Yulan Festival is in autumn, most of the tourists and delegations who are going to participate in the event are A certain time in advance, choose to start around these days in early summer.

The Academy was the first place to receive the invitation from Lanke Temple. Ning Que was sent as a representative. Of course, Sangsang, who had recovered, was also with him. Their departure time was today.

Except for the big brothers who have to travel with the master, the disciples of the back mountain of the academy rarely appear in the world. These idiots will only feel happy if they stick to their own world, and for them, the back mountain is big enough , There is no need to go to the mortal world to make trouble.

Based on this concept, instead of admiring the younger brothers who need to enter the world, they are very sympathetic. So when Ning Que set out, just like when he went to the wasteland two years ago, all the brothers and sisters Come to see him off, and give him a small gift of comfort.

The fourth brother and the sixth brother often design and manufacture good things for Ningque, so this time they didn’t give anything special, just an inconspicuous box. The nine brothers Beigong and the tenth brother Ximen are still the least particular. A farewell song was played by the lake as a gift.

Listening to the sad sound of the flute and piano, Ning Que forcibly snatched half of Huang Jing from the **** horse's mouth, looked at the two seniors who were proudly dancing, and said angrily: "Is this a farewell or funeral? So unreliable?"

The big dark horse was also very annoyed at this time, but no one paid any attention to it. The big white goose was slowly swimming in the Jinghu Lake pretending to be deep, and the little white wolf half squatted on Tang Xiaotang’s legs, listening to her and Sang Sang Man talked reluctantly, slightly tilted his head, as if he did not understand.

After a bleak song, Bei Gong Weiyang stepped forward, took out a thin stack of paper from her arms, reluctantly passed it over, and said: "Little brother, this is what the world thinks has been lost. The piano score of Ling Sanqu is extremely precious. You can't give it to your brother anymore."

What does Ning Que want to do with a piano score? Tang Xiaotang, the saint of the Demon Sect, is now calling her little uncle, is it possible that she might have encountered a saint on the journey? But he changed his mind to thinking that if the score is really precious, it should be able to sell a lot of silver, so he took it without hesitation.

"Qin score is not a score? Reliable, reliable, do you know how to rely on words? Reliable is the term of chess, so the term "reliable" refers to chess."

The fifth brother proudly walked among the crowd, bringing an endless sour smell. He didn't know how many days he hadn't bathed. The seventh sister couldn't help frowning and nagging, but he didn't care.

"Lanke Temple is not a dragon pond and tiger's lair. Where it is worth playing such a sad song, it is tragic and ridiculous, but the broken temple is named after the allusion to the chess world. The monks in the temple are not bad at being on the chessboard. ."

The fifth brother, who has always ignored world affairs, looked at Ning Que with unprecedented firmness and affirmation, and said: "I and the old eight are cultivating with great concentration in the academy, so that the monks are lucky enough to be invited to be famous, my junior brother, your trip is bad. Ke, definitely can’t weaken the academy’s reputation in chess and lose the old face of brother."

Fang Luo, Brother Eight came over with a thick pile of chess books, and looked at Ning Que eagerly and said: "Little brother, you see we played chess and watched dozens of games. Even if you are stupid, I want to come. The realm is also much higher than those of the monks, but you are too lazy on weekdays, so the basic skills are not good. This is a chess record carefully compiled by two seniors, so you might as well practice more on the road..."

Ning Que was already stupid, wondering where is this?

At this moment, the fifth brother took the chess score in the eighth brother's arms and reprimanded: "Stupid! What use are these chess scores for the younger brother?"

Ning Que was overjoyed and nodded and said: "Yes, yeah."

However, he didn't expect that Senior Brother Five turned around and stuffed the thick pile of chess records to Sangsang.

"Sangsang's savvy in chess is far better than the younger brother."

The fifth senior brother looked at Sangsang and Yan Yue and said, "Sangsang, the important task of maintaining the academy's chess masters in the world...I will leave it to you."

The academy is located in the southern suburbs of Chang'an City. There is no need to worry about the closure of the city gates, so in order to escape the heat, Ning Que and Sangsang did not leave until the sun was slanting and the night was approaching.

Looking at the black carriage gradually disappearing into the clouds and mist on the mountainside, the second brother frowned slightly, always feeling that the atmosphere today is a little weird, hiding something that I can't see clearly.

The big brother watched the black carriage leave. After a moment of silence, he turned and left. The twilight shone on his old cotton jacket, and some dust was faintly visible, as if the cotton sleeves were shaking slightly.

The second brother looked back at the back of the big brother on the mountain road, his heart moved slightly, and he caught up.

The big brother walked very slowly, but for some reason it was difficult to be chased by him.

When the big brother walks to the Caolu, the sunset will go out.

The darkness enveloped the valley, and stars appeared one after another on the black sky.

The Master stood outside the Cao Lu, half-stuck, with one eye squinted, looking at a cylindrical iron object, not knowing what was in the iron cylinder.

The big brother walked behind the master and asked: "Teacher, what are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at the stars... well, I should say stargazing, it's more elegant."

The master motioned for him to come over and take a look, and said: "This is made by the sixth and thirteenth to honor me. They named it a stargazer, but I tried it before. The star is still that star, but But it can magnify the scenery in the distance and pull it closer. I might as well see the telescope."

The big brother put his eyes in front of the iron barrel and looked at it, and found that, as the teacher said, the stars in the iron barrel's field of vision did not become larger, but if you look at the mountains under the starlight in the distance, it will appear to be clearly enlarged.

"It's really interesting, the younger brother knows so many things."

He smiled and said, but his smile seemed a little worried.

The master looked at the stars in the night sky above his head and said: "There may be people who know by birth, but there is no one who knows everything. No matter how many things your little brother understands, there are always many things that you don’t understand. It’s the same with me. According to legend, the seven books of heaven were formed by Haotian’s will. Back then, I was able to understand the other six books when I was a scholar in a green shirt like you. Now I am old, but I still don’t understand. Those words that the monk left on the Ming scroll."

The big brother said sincerely: "The disciples can't understand either."

"Nonsense, what the teacher can't understand, how can you understand it."

The master looked at him with a smile and said, "But if you don't understand, then don't worry about it day and night."

The big brother said: "For such a matter, I have to worry."

The master looked at him and said sternly: "If this is a story, no one knows how to develop, you don't know I don't know the world, then why do you think that the end of the story must be like that?

Everyone in the back mountain of the academy knows that no matter how cute Chen Pipi looks or how Ning Que plays, the teacher’s favorite apprentice is always the big brother, and the teacher seldom criticizes the big brother, like this time. Such a severe reprimand almost never appeared.

The big brother was silent for a long time and said: "If there is no worry about tomorrow, there will be today's worry."

The Master said: "People should worry about today, not tomorrow."

The big brother said: "If the teacher is not worried about the future of the world, why should the younger brother go to Lanke Temple?"

The master looked at the mountains and forests shrouded in Yinhui, and listened to the faint sound of a waterfall coming from a distance, and said: "On the night that your little brother killed Xiahou, I discovered that the sickness of the girl Sangsang was more than The imagination is even more serious. If you really use Xiling's magical technique to cure, I am afraid that the problem will eventually be cured. I asked him to take her to Lanke Temple, just to see if there is any way for the Buddha to cure her disease. Good."

The big brother said sadly: "What if the disease can't be cured?"

The master turned to look at him and said: "If the disease is not cured, your junior will be very sad, so even if there is only a glimmer of hope, you have to work harder and harder, and she shouldn't get sick." /

"Where is the gate?"

The elder brother said: "Sangsang is the successor of the Shining God Seat of Xiling Temple. If Dao Sect knows that she is seriously ill, he will definitely be worried. They should have their own way to cure the disease and save others."

Looking at his most beloved disciple, the master suddenly laughed slightly, and said, "Healing the disease and saving people...If the Taoist school can cure the disease and save people, why should I be so distressed now? Sometimes I think that when we go to cure the disease and save people, maybe It’s only my own illness, but I’m saving myself."

Big brother thoughtful.

The Master said with a serious expression: "You love everyone in the world, so you can't love only one person. Unlike your younger brother, he doesn't love anyone in the world, but only one person, so after killing Xiahou, he will definitely You will feel comfortable, no one knows where you can go in the future, but you have to endure the pain of struggling to make a decision. If you can't see through this pain, then you will have a limit."

The room is quiet.

A long time later, a clean and gentle smile appeared on the big brother's face again. He said: "Teacher, I am willing to stay anxious forever, because I am not me who is not anxious."

The master looked at him in admiration and said: "I was wrong. Your love for the world does not involve any cultivating stereotypes. It is purely from your heart. How can you limit your future?"

"I’m a teacher, and I’ve always been the weed that swayed on the wall. I always want to follow the wind, but now I don’t know where the wind starts. I don’t know what your little brother will meet, but I believe if you don’t walk , Then you won’t encounter anything. As long as you walk, you will always meet the future. When he meets the day when we meet the real future, we come to think about how to do it."

The master said with emotion: "It is a pity that the guy who had to scold me for three days and three nights for a bowl of braised pork...has already been dead, otherwise I would like to ask him how he would do it.

I don’t know when, the second brother came to the Caolu and stood there quietly, listening to the conversation between the teacher and the brother, but did not speak until then finally could not help saying: "Teacher, although I don’t understand What are you talking about with the big brother, but I think I can guess what the younger brother will do."

The master's expression was slightly different, so he asked: "What will your little uncle do?"

Second brother of course said: "Fight."

The Master found that these disciples are becoming more and more like themselves, so it is natural to say everything, but where is the reason? He asked in a daze: "Who hit?"

The second brother was also very confused. After a while, he said solemnly: "No matter who it is."

(I will also travel to greet everyone.) (to be continued)
