Nightfall Chapter 131: Disheartened not cold
"World Chapter—The strong must abide by the rules——————... Ning Que's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands and asked excitedly: "Big brother, who is stronger, you and Sword Saint Liu Bai? "
The big brother looked at him in confusion, and said: "Since Sword Saint Liu Bai is the world's first strong, of course he is better than me."
Ning Que was stunned, and said, "What kind of answer is this? Fighting is not a lip service."
Senior brother seriously thought about what it means to "snip". After thinking about it for a long time, I thought I probably understood what Ning Que wanted to express, and explained seriously: "I am not good at fighting, your second brother is better at it."
This answer made Ning Que feel speechless again.
The big brother looked at him curiously and asked: "Little brother?"
Ning Que waved his hand: "Nothing, brother, I just haven't gotten used to the way you speak."
The big brother suddenly realized, and said: "So it is."
Ning Que asked: "If the first Xuankong Temple and Zhishouguanguan are the goshawk in the sky, what about you, big brother?"
The big brother smiled and said: "I'm just a scholar serving the teacher."
Ning Que sighed and said, "Brother, your answer is too hypocritical."
The elder brother shook his head and sighed and said: "Don’t talk about the masters and the first seat, the people who are in the realm of the Zhishouguan and the Xuankong Temple, and there are also extraordinary people in the folk market. The seemingly ordinary drinkers and butchers Liu, how can you tell that they are outsiders who have already broken through the five realms?"
Big Brother is certainly not a hypocritical person. The reason why he kept repeating and telling Ning Que that he was not the most powerful person in the world was because he firmly believed that he was indeed not the most powerful person in the world, and he was very unwilling to Ning Que because of his teacher background. Being strong and falling into some kind of arrogant mental illusion, and thus walked into the wrong path of practice and gradually distanced from the only correct path of self-seeking.
It is a bit regretful that Ning Que did not realize the good intentions of the big brother because his logic is very simple. In the known world of practice, the master must be at the most powerful level. And the apprentice he taught Ye Su couldn't even let out a fart in front of the big brother, so no matter how strong it is, it will not be stronger, at least not better than the academy, so he naturally feels proud and excited.
Because of this emotion, he is not very able to accept the results of today's Winter Garden dialogue.
The big brother understood what he was thinking, and said: "Xiahou is very powerful, even Jun Mo dare not just say it, let alone kill it? And he is the queen’s elder brother who dares not guilty? This Apart from the Master and His Majesty, only a few people know the secret, so please keep the secret."
"Brother, I don't understand why you let me hear this secret earlier."
The big brother looked at him quietly, his clear and clean gaze seemed to be able to see through Ning Que's best concealment.
Ning Que looked back at the big brother, because of trust and did not make any cover.
Since a long time, the big brother looked at him and said with pity: "Because I think you need to know."
Ning Que fell silent for a while and said, "Yes, I need to know this."
The big brother suddenly smiled and said: "Go back to the academy and study hard. You will be able to kill him within five years."
Ning Que raised his head and looked at the clean eyes of the big brother, with a slight chuckle in his heart, and felt that the big brother knew everything, including his biggest secret.
But what if you know it? In the past years, I was displaced and struggling between life and death, so my appearance was loose and mischievous. In fact, I was hard-hearted and indifferent to warn everyone. But now I have entered the academy and become the master’s direct disciple. I have so many senior brothers and sisters. What are you afraid of?
Ning Que looked at the senior brother and said seriously: "I heard that the master once praised the senior brother to learn the Tao and enter the Tao at night. This is the realm of the masters and disciples. I always feel that five years are too long and want to fight for the day.
The elder brother looked into his eyes and said seriously: "The master strictly prohibits the academy from interfering in the affairs of the government. Today I rashly said to let Xiahou resign and return to the old age. It is considered presumptuous. What about him, if you want to kill him, you will only have to challenge the road head-on. Do you have this confidence?"
Thinking of the conversation with the senior brother in the room, Ning Que walked outside the general's mansion, and at the corner gate, he met the mountains where he finished feeding the **** horse, and invited her to go out of the house and stroll around in Tuyang City.
The cold wind of Tuyang City in the deep winter is like a knife. The people who watched the excitement have already returned home. Except for Tang Qi patrolling the streets, it is difficult to see the silhouettes of people. There is really nothing to stroll around, but young Most of the men and women shopping are not about shopping, but about who they are shopping with, so Ning Que and Shanshan are in a good mood.
Walking through the grain and straw shop half-hidden the door, Ning Que pointed to the wall and told Shanshan that the arrow tower there was a problem when it was built that year, so it looked a little weird, but I heard it was very easy to use. I took her to a remote alley to find a very inconspicuous shop to have a meal of shabu-shabu, and proudly said that this is the only delicacy in Tuyang City.
Walking all the way to watch the winter scenery, eat fresh meat and drink strong wine, Mo Shanshan didn't say much, just listened to him quietly, walked with him, and then looked at him seriously, his eyes scattered but no longer indifferent. Occasionally pass this meaning.
"Have you been to Tuyang City before?"
"I passed by once."
"Then why are you so familiar with Tuyang City?"
"Because...I once had a friend who lived here for a long time."
Ning Que bought a piece of Kang sweet potato at the corner of the street, carefully wrapped it in two pieces of coarse paper, and handed it to Mo Shanshan to let her return to the general's mansion first, and then walked into an alley, looking at the corner of the general's mansion and was silent. a long time.
The general in the General's Mansion is going to go to retirement soon. He once made immortal feats for the empire, and now he knows and knows his own interest and asks himself to remove his armour. Presumably the court will be honored, and the end cannot be considered bleak.
However, there used to be so much blood in the general's mansion in Chang'an City, so many headless bodies were burned in the village of Yanjing, and the little black man under the gray wall opposite to Lao Bi Zhai died in the rain. dismal.
He wanted to kill the general, but he knew that he could not kill him, even if he is no longer an unknown soldier in Weicheng, but a student on the second floor of the college, he still cannot kill other side.
The big brother came forward in person, and he could only watch the opponent unload his armour and return to the field and broke off all past grievances, waved his sleeves without taking away any past events and blood in the past, so he looked at the general's house. There was a long silence.
The alley is quiet and cold, and no one has walked by. At this moment, a middle-aged man in a dark cotton coat leaned in quietly, looking for no one to pay attention to, before holding his hand tightly. The small note was handed to Ning Que.
This middle-aged man was the Tianshu Division Master who had contacted him in Bishui Camp at the beginning. The Division Master had a special status in the frontier fortress, and it was not too difficult to meet Ning Que in Tuyang City.
Ning Que's gaze fell on the small note, his body suddenly stiffened, and the fingers holding the note trembled slightly in the cold wind. After a moment of silence, he asked with a low voice, "Why are you just telling me now?" "
The middle-aged man glanced at him sympathetically and reported in a low voice: "There is no way to find your husband in the wasteland, so I have to stay in Tuyang City and wait for the husband to return."
Ning Que looked at the note, slowly closed his eyes, and shook his head.
The middle-aged man walked out of the alley in silence.
After a long time, Ning Que opened his eyes, destroyed the note in his hand, looked up at the dark winter sky, and muttered, "Why did you die like this?"
The news on the note is the bad news brought by the Tang Tianshu from Chang'an City. The Haotian South Gate runemaster Master Yan Se died with the great priest who rebelled against Taoshan in a mountain in the north of Chang'an City.
The very simple news caused a great shock to Ning Que. He did not have time to recall the first encounter in the meadow outside the academy, the first question and answer about the Rune Dao in Litingli, and the city of Chang'an. The footprints left by the master and apprentice in the old pavilions and new sheds of countless Taoist temples inside and outside began to grieve.
The note is very short, but it contains a lot of vague content. Ning Que roughly understands that the reason why the great priest of Guangming Taoshan has been imprisoned for many years is related to the murder of the General Mansion, and according to those analyses, he has caught a Very strong intuition-the reason why the great priest of Guangming went to Chang'an City should be looking for himself!
He doesn't understand where this intuition comes from. Since receiving the fragments in the spiritual world of Master Liansheng at the Demon Sect, he often has some very mysterious intuitions, and he believes in such intuitions.
"Master, did you die because of me?"
Ning Que looked at the gloomy sky, with a gloomy mood that was unspeakable, and his mood was extremely terrible. If the person who caused the master to leave this world still exists, he can still suppress the sadness in his heart with his thoughts of revenge, but that bright priest I was also killed by the master, what else can I do for the master?
He retracted Wangtian’s gaze, looked at the General Mansion, and said with emotion: “It seems that the murder in the General Mansion was really related to the Xiling Temple. The person who asked you to do it back then was the Great Priest Guangming? Why are you guys? Do you want to do this? The master shouldn't die but die, and people like you deserve to die but never die. Why is this?"
After a moment of silence, he said: "After the general dismantled his armour and returned to the field, there will be a few large houses in Qianqin Liangtian. In his free time, he will hire cats and dogs to tease the maid. This kind of day is really beautiful."
If Sangsang is by your side at this time, you can understand what Ning Que really means. Since this kind of day is really beautiful, don't think too beautiful.
Standing in a remote alley of Tuyang City, silently thinking of a long-dead friend and a master who has just passed away, Ning Que felt endless anger and wounds gushing out of his chest and abdomen, and those sorrows burned into hot ashes.
Those hot ash made the aura in his body revolve abruptly, and his Qihai Snow Mountain began to produce an unspeakable subtle change. The faint atmosphere of the world among the winter trees around the streets seemed to sense this change. , Slowly and calmly enveloped him, and gradually penetrated into his body through the thick coat and the skin under his clothes, gradually becoming a mighty force that could not be stopped.
