Nightfall Chapter 152: Fourteen years, last summer, today’s step up
The fourteenth year of the 152nd chapter, last summer, today's step up
The leading actor is always the last person to appear.
On the battlefield full of yellow sand, several generals fought for a long time with knives, or couldn't help each other, or were beaten by the opponents to retreat steadily, then they could see the silver-robed young general violently lift his horse's rein, and sprint in diagonally. Coming over, he shot down all the enemies with one shot, and then stood with the gun in the wild, Twilight illuminated his face, pretending to be extremely cool.
In the rainy streets, the gang brothers cut each other with watermelon knives. The blood was more intense and dense than the rain sprayed. From the West Market to the South City, dozens of corpses fell in a mess, and then they saw the cloth. The big river and lake man in the black wind jacket is holding a steel knife and screaming out, like a blood dragon slaying from one end to the other. There is no enemy in front of the knife, and no life at his feet. Extremely.
As for why the silver-robed young general and the black-jacket boss didn't make a move at the beginning, and had to wait for their subordinates and younger brothers to throw their heads and blood for a miserable long time before Shi Shiran paced out? Of course, it's not because they suffer from habitual procrastination like the storytellers, but because these pretenders know that only the cruel, cruel and long wait in front can highlight their final demeanor.
After the second floor was opened, many people began to climb and climb to the top of the mountain one after another, including Prince Longqing, who was well-respected, had already set off, but Ning Que remained silent and stood silent in the corner until this point. time.
He can interpret his slowness as a way to analyze the problems that may be encountered when climbing by observing the experiences of young climbers. But deep down in his heart, he had to admit that the more important reason was that those young practitioners who were struggling on the sloping mountain path were not his subordinates, nor his partial generals. He did not care about the lives of those people, since He didn't have much confidence in the matter of entering the second floor, so why not enjoy the pleasure brought by the last place?
The actor is always the last person to appear.
Even at the end of the climb today, the actor is still the prince Longqing who is aloof and perfect unlike humans, but at least at this moment, he wants to be the actor.
Ning Que's idea was perfectly realized. When he took the cakes wrapped in Chu Youxian’s handkerchief and Shi Shiran walked to the back of the academy, countless eyes around the courtyard were attracted by his figure. Those eyes were full of countless complex emotions, ranging from surprise to confusion, and even more. Many are still confused.
So long has passed since the opening of the second floor. As long as anyone with eyes can see, today’s mountain climbing is bound to be a big victory for Prince Longqing. At this moment, how can there be people who don’t know good or bad? Come out and interfere with the scene of a crowd waiting for the solemn and holy prince Longqing to shine?
"It seems to be a student in the academy." The envoy of Dahe Country looked at the clothes on Ning Que, frowned and said, "Is this the strong man hidden in the academy?"
"The six students in the technical department are all on the mountain, and four of them have been brought back~IndoMTL.com~The teachers in the school looked surprised. They don't seem to know what's going on."
In the crowd gathered by the students in the academy, Zhong Dajun forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, looked at the back of Ning Que who was at the center of the discussion, sneered and said with a sneer: "What is he trying to be crazy? Didn’t you lose enough?"
Situ Yilan took a step forward subconsciously, slightly clenched his hands in his sleeves, looking at Ning Que ahead, his face was full of curiosity and worry. Although she knew that Ning Que was not as useless and despicable as the classmates talked about, she really couldn't understand why he was going mountain climbing at this time, and she couldn't figure out why he believed that he would have the opportunity to enter the second floor of the college.
Under the big golden parasol, Li Yu looked at the boy who was never unfamiliar, but he really couldn't talk about how familiar he was, showing a thoughtful look. She remembered the scenes on the journey back from the grassland last year, and remembered the words of the old man Lu Qingchen's smile and firmly said. For some reason, she gave him strong confidence and hope, but she didn't know where this confidence and hope came from. Come.
Li Peiyan followed her gaze next to her with a serious and condensed expression. As the Prince of the Tang Dynasty, he would like to see a young man from the Tang Dynasty in the academy stand up to fight for the empire, but he did not want to There are too many variables in this event.
The priest Mo Li didn't think that Ning Que was qualified to be a variable. He glanced at this ordinary student lightly and didn't care. Prince Longqing has already entered the dense fog on the mountainside at this time, and may succeed in reaching the summit in the next moment. In his opinion, no matter what the student's intention is to stand up at this time, whether it is grandstanding, or he has been instructed by someone in the academy. It can only be a more perfect foil to set off the glory of Xiling and the prince.
For people who are not determined and whose mind is easy to shake, their eyes are heavy, especially the eyes of so many big people around the academy’s stone ping, concentrating on one person, maybe even a thin figure The students are overwhelmed.
For Ning Que, the eyes of others are the least weightless and powerless existence in the world. No matter how many eyes are gathered together, the same is true. What he wants to do has nothing to do with these people, so the eyes in these eyes Emotions have nothing to do with him.
The professor of the college who was in charge of the opening ceremony of the second floor of the building today stood blankly beside the front road of Shiping. He had previously learned through teaching and learning that Ning Que was a student of the college, and he also knew about it this year. Human rumors.
"Why?" the professor asked.
Ning Que smiled honestly, and asked, "Not allowed? I didn't hear the limited time registration in the rules you mentioned earlier."
"Not really. I just heard that you pretended to be sick and abandoned the exam for fear of losing to your competitors last year, so I don't understand why you climbed today."
"If abandoning the exam and climbing are logically contradictory to each other." Ning Que looked at the professor and explained with great respect and earnestness: "Then I dare to climb the mountain today, just use the rumors in the academy and the accusations against me. All are false."
Seeing this ordinary student daring to talk in front of him, the professor smiled slightly, and his two silver-stained eyebrows floated in the spring breeze, looking quite happy.
But instead of giving way, he continued to ask with a hint of interest: "But I still want to know why you are climbing today."
Ning Que replied with a smile: "If people from Xiling Temple or the envoys of the Kingdom of Yan come to ask, I will definitely answer an answer that will shake them all, but since you asked, of course I have to answer honestly... …To climb, naturally because I want to climb."
The professor laughed, stroked the gray beard under his jaw, shook his head and exclaimed: "Really a good answer, this is the best answer I have heard in the past few years."
Then he looked at Ning Que and asked curiously: "If the person who asked the question was the **** sticks from Xiling or the wall grass from Yan, how would you answer?"
"If they asked me why I want to climb, I would say..."
Ning Que smiled embarrassedly and said, "Because the mountain is there."
The professor of the college was stunned, his fingers stiffening his beard slightly stiff, and he burst into laughter, looked at Ning Que with a teachable look, and praised: "This is also a good answer."
"Go." The professor said with a smile: "It's just that the mountain roads are difficult and rugged. If you climb halfway, you suddenly feel that you don't want to climb any more, then come down. Who dares to laugh at you, the old man is the master for you ."
Ning Que smiled and said goodbye for a long time.
The professor watched him walk into the quiet alley, stroked his beard lightly, thinking that the students in this year's college are not all rubbish, and nodded in satisfaction.
Lu Ningque was very familiar with the way up the mountain, at least he was familiar with the part of the road before going up the mountain. The small building in the bamboo forest in the wetland of the laneway, the scenery has been well-known all the way, the bluestone by the lake remembered his footsteps, when he came to Jiuxia, he looked up and waved hello.
The chubby Chen Pipi leaned against the window and waved down. He didn't want Prince Longqing and the climbers to see him, and those people couldn't see him. He wanted Ning Que to see him, and Ning Que could see him naturally.
"If you really can't climb up, don't be aggressive." Chen Pipi kindly reminded.
"Is it possible to say something auspicious?" Ning Que looked up at him and said, "How come no one, including you, is optimistic that I can climb to the top?"
"Mountain roads are so easy to walk." Chen Pipi spread out his round hands and said sincerely: "What's more, compared with Longqing, you are really a little cat and puppy."
Ning Que was too lazy to pay attention to him, waved his hand and walked to the old side. Suddenly he thought of one thing, he stopped, turned his head and asked unwillingly: "There really is no back door?"
Chen Pipi supported the window lattice and yelled: "Die."
Ning Que smiled and shook his head, and moved on. When he walked around the old one, he found that there really was a back door—he spent a whole year in the old one and he saw the scenery downstairs. Walking around downstairs, I clearly remember that there was originally a gray dilapidated wall here, but now it is a door.
Behind the door is a path paved with bluestones, surrounded by green bamboos, and gradually climbed upwards until the bamboo forest slipped into the dense forest and grass on the mountainside.
Stepping through the door, Ning Que walked up the mountain along the path in the bamboo forest.
Nothing unusual happened. With his footsteps, the mountain road gradually moved upwards, carrying his body higher and higher, gradually crossing the wall below, higher than the picturesque bamboo forest, and you can see it when you look back. Those in the academy far away.
The mountain road ahead became narrower and narrower, and the large bluestone slab was replaced by a smaller stone. There was no bird chirping in the forest beside the road, and it was quiet and strange.
Just as his right foot stepped on the mountain road paved with fine-grained stones, Ning Que's brows suddenly tightened, and his face instantly became as pale as white snow, an unspeakable pain, from his foot on the surface of the mountain road In the palm of your mind!
The sudden pain caused him to soften his legs and almost fell, but he forcibly supported the ground, stood up again with a very strong grunt, and looked to the side of the mountain road.
Between the green forests on the side of the road, you can see the cliffs covered with moss. If you look carefully, you can probably tell that the lines like cracks under the thick moss are actually some carved on the stone. The big characters are just the cinnabar red painted between the handwriting strokes, which has faded into obscurity under the wind and rain for so many years.
"What a powerful mind attack, this is also the word left by the runemaster..."
Ning Que frowned extremely tightly, staring at the stone lettering traces on the cliff in the forest, and his hands hanging beside him trembled slightly. At this moment, hundreds of thousands of invisible steel needles are piercing his soles. If ordinary people encounter this kind of pain, I am afraid that they would have fallen to the ground and screamed, but although his face is white and his hands are Trembling, but his consciousness is very clear, this kind of pain has no effect on him at all.
I used to look at the mountain road from a distance in the academy and watched Xie Chengyun and others walking on the mountain road with extreme difficulty and slowness. I couldn’t see their expressions but could vaguely perceive their pain. Ning Que was on the mountain road. What kind of restrictions are there, but he didn't expect that the assessment of the second floor of the academy was so overbearing and barbaric, and he used such a powerful magic rune from the beginning.
Now he finally understands why those outstanding young monks from all over the world will become puppets on this mountain road and walk so slowly-under the magical magic of the cliff wall, around the mountain road Any natural environment in China may become a danger that prevents people from climbing. You can't avoid it, you can only rush!
Ning Que frowned tightly and looked at his right foot on the fine-pebbled mountain road. He suddenly smiled nervously. He forced his waist and abdomen, leaning forward, and landed himself on the left foot behind. Lifted up, stepped on the surface of the fine gravel.
He stepped heavily and hard, as if he was about to step on a mountain road paved with fine stones.
Countless invisible needles came out from the crevices of the pebbles, pierced deeply into the soles of the feet through the hard soles of the boots, and the instant numbness was quickly replaced by the extreme pain, and then clearly transmitted. Into his mind.
Ning Que's face became paler, but his frowning brows gradually unfolded, taking a deep breath as if enjoying himself, and swinging his hands forward.
Intentionally or unintentionally, or engrossed or quietly watching, or really caring or just curious, or with a mocking mentality of watching a good show, when Ning Que first appeared in the eyes of the academy after walking up the mountain road , Many people are watching the mountain road, watching Ning Que's every move.
People watched Ning Que set foot on the mountain trail, and watched him fall to the ground after only one step. They couldn't help shaking their heads. Some people laughed mockingly.
The priest Mo Li was talking indifferently with the envoys of the State of Yan. He seemed to be totally unconcerned about what happened on the mountain road, but after seeing Ning Que fall, he couldn't help but shook his head contemptuously, as if he was a fellow monk. After watching for so long, I still vaguely guessed what kind of restriction the academy had placed on the mountain road. At this time, seeing Ning Que being suppressed by the rune force so miserably, confirmed that he had entered the state of no confusion at most-no confusion? It's probably a good level in the academy's art department, but just because of this level, you want to endure a blockbuster in the future? Too wishful thinking.
At the place of the students in the academy, Zhong Dajun sneered pointing at the mountain road and said: "To be sensational is to sensationalize. He just wants to attract attention, but he doesn't want to think that such a behaving will cause much damage to the reputation of the academy."
Situ Yilan watched Ning Que fall down on the mountain path, so she took a breath of air-conditioning, listening to the mockery, she couldn't help glaring at him angrily, and took Jin Wucai's little hand two steps forward , And the classmates of these colleges have made the distance farther.
"Your hands are a little cold." Jin Wucai looked at her worriedly and said. Although this granddaughter of Jijiu was even more worried about Xie Chengyun, who was still on the mountain road, she was inevitably worried about her companion, because it seemed that Ning Que didn't have any chance.
"It's okay, I just can't see the faces of some people." Situ Yilan glanced at the discussing classmates behind, and sneered: "Even if Ning Que can only take one step on the mountain road, he will try more Those who dare not try are stronger."
Jin Wucai looked at the mountain road hidden in the forest in the distance, and said worriedly: "But looking like this, I'm afraid Ning Que can no longer take the second step."
Situ Yilan didn't answer her words, but just looked at the mountain road intently, cheering in her heart for the friend who had been forgotten by the college for a long time. Suddenly, the color of surprise surged on her beautiful cheeks, she pointed to the distance and jumped up, and said loudly: "Look! Look! Ning Que, he is leaving!"
Many people in the academy have noticed what happened on the mountain road. They watched Ning Que get up with difficulty. After a short pause, they moved their left foot and took a step forward.
Then Ning Que took the second and third steps, but four steps...Although he was obviously trembling and walking slowly, he could feel that he was walking more and more steadily, as if every Step into the hard mountain road deeply!
I don't know who among the students in the academy exclaimed.
A young official of the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty stood up and looked at the mountain road with excitement on his face. He didn’t know who the young student on the mountain road was, and he didn’t believe he could defeat Prince Longqing and climb the mountain, but He felt that as the young student walked, the previously suppressed pride and confidence returned to his body.
Chu Youxian, who was taking out the second pack of snacks in the corner, opened his mouth in surprise, but forgot to put the pastry in. He looked at the figure in the mountain road, and suddenly realized that he had never really known each other.
Li Yu looked at the mountain road, and smiled after a moment of silence.
Chen Pipi leaned against the old window and looked at the direction of the mountain road and said with emotion: "You are so cruel, speaking of it... Can you find someone more cruel to yourself in this world? I don't know, how can you go? Where is it? I still don’t know."
After saying this, he closed the window and woke up with a few pieces of Qingyou. He lay on the stretcher and looked at the somewhat vague figure on the mountain road, rubbing his eyes subconsciously, but after seeing it clearly, he still didn’t I dare to believe what I saw.
Wang Ying looked at the back of the mountain and murmured in shock: "Ning Que? How could it be him? Why did he come up the mountain? He...he... why is he still humming?"
From the front of the mountain road faintly heard Ning Que's self-made border stuffed children's rhyme. The voice was hoarse, powerful, and a force that was stubborn and **** like life.
"I have a knife, cut down the grass in the mountains..."
"I have two knives, cut off the head of the enemy..."
"I have three knives, so I can cut all the bad things..."
"I hacked you to death..."
"I hacked you to death with two swords..."
"I hacked you to death..."
