Nightfall Chapter 26: Flower before and under the moon (top)
Ning Que couldn't think of how he would actually see Chen Pipi's awkward face in the cliff. He and the seniors in the academy thought that Chen Pi returned to Zhishouguan with the master, how could he have thought that he was actually held in the cliff and became a prisoner in the secluded pavilion of Xiling Temple.
Chen Pipi could not have imagined that outside the stone window where the scenery never changed, he could actually look at Ning Que's nasty face through the reflection of the light. He looked dull, but he was extremely clever. He had already calculated that Ning Que would inevitably become a prisoner of Chang'an City. How could he have thought that this guy was so courageous that he dared to come to Xiling Temple and appeared in front of him.
This is a long-distance reunion that no one expected. The two brothers stared at each other through the stone window, froze for a long time, and then laughed stupidly.
The furnishings of the cell are very simple, with only a bed and some utensils. Ning Que looked inside through the stone window and found that it was dry and bloodless. There was food and clean water on the small table, and he felt slightly relaxed.
Then he began to observe the stone window. Although this encounter was too sudden, the academy didn’t know that Chen Pipi was locked in a secluded pavilion, and naturally did not make any plans, but now that he saw it, there was nothing to hesitate. He didn’t even think about it, so he prepared to take Rescued from the Youge.
As he observed, his expression became serious. It was not that the clouds and mist dissipated by the moonlight started to cut his body again, but he found that it was really difficult.
The stone window is very small, only the sky can be seen, or even larger birds can’t fly in. If you want to rescue Chen Pipi from the cell, you must pry the stone window bigger, but when he After reaching out but being blocked back, I was shocked to find that this cliff was actually a whole. The stone window is a small hole made in the cliff. If he wants to break the stone window, he has to pry open the entire peach mountain cliff, and the mountain hides the powerful formation of Tao. It may be the cage, how can this be done?
The method of the Xiling Temple is so powerful, except for characters like the Master, who can move this Taoshan, which does not know how many talisman formations are attached? We must know that Wei Guangming, the first to successfully escape from Youge in countless years, did not dare to pry open the stone window, but chose to push down the wooden sticks in front of him.
Ning Que said: "It seems you have to stay in there for two more days, I have to figure out a way."
Chen Pipi stood by the stone window, a little confused and unresponsive.
Ning Que just remembered that when the two people looked at each other and laughed, he did not hear Chen Pipi’s laugh. He thought of a possibility, slowed down and asked: "Can’t hear?"
Chen Pippi looked at the shape of his mouth, nodded, and then said something. Ning Que understood the sentence through the shape of his mouth: "Nothing can enter this window except light."
Ning Que thought for a while, and was about to say something, Chen Pipi's face suddenly showed anxious expression, and his lips kept talking slightly. He understood the names of Sangsang and Tang Xiaotang.
He understood what Chen Pipi wanted to say, and nodded to indicate that he already knew what had happened to Sangsang, and then told him that Tang Xiaotang was in the back of the academy and he didn't need to worry.
The moonlight spilled from the night sky, on the cliffs, and on Ning Que's body. Some light passed through the narrow stone window and fell on Chen Pipi's face, and the two spoke silently.
"Wait for me to rescue you."
Ning Que looked into Chen Pipi’s eyes and said. He spoke very slowly and his pronunciation was very standard, ensuring that Chen Pipi could understand every word he said and felt his determination.
Chen Pipi looked at him quietly, suddenly laughed, and shook his head.
Ning Que looked at the smile on his face and slowly stretched out a middle finger, and said: "You are a prisoner now. You have no choice but to wait passively to be rescued by me."
After saying this, he looked at his **** bathed in moonlight, and wondered a little bit about how he could still be so well on the cliff with the meditation mudra of his left hand?
……
……
Among the moonlight cliffs, Ning Que reached out to the stone window for a taste, and already touched the restriction of the Youge. Xiling Temple knew that someone had approached the Youge, and began to be vigilant. There are three cliffs in Taoshan. The figure of the black deacon ruling Si, but no one has found the Tianyuyuan under the mountain for the time being.
Ning Que didn't worry about finding out himself. The peach blossom on the mountainside was his best barrier. As long as the temple didn't think that anyone could pass the peach blossom, he would not cast doubtful eyes on the mountain.
In addition to thinking about how to rescue Chen Pipi from the heavily guarded secluded pavilion, what really made him feel a little inexplicable was the indifferent look that fell from the peak that night.
He confirmed that there were no people in the temples on the summit at that time, but for some reason he always felt that someone had been observing him. Whose indifferent gaze was?
He admits that courage is very important in battle, but it is absolutely impossible to decide the victory or defeat. Therefore, he cannot rely solely on courage when he leaves Chang'an City. The academy has made detailed plans and arrangements in advance, and he is invisible. The temple is an important part of the plan. If that indifferent gaze is really as guessed, it will not have any influence on the plan of the academy.
The real impact is still tangerine peel.
The world of Haotian is so stable, as if it will never change, but in the world composed of countless trivial details, change is the norm. The plan of the academy, as he saw Chen Pipi’s face in the cliff, he had to Make corresponding adjustments, and may even need to overthrow it all.
Ning Que couldn’t understand why Xiling Temple would shut Chen Pipi in the secluded pavilion. Even if Guanzhu died, Zhi Shouguan could not continue to control Xiling Temple behind the scenes. Even though the discipleship of Chen Pipi Academy made Taoism unacceptable. , However, to imprison a person like Chen Pipi in secret, it still seems so incredible. Isn't it possible that the big figures in the temple are not afraid of the Daomen split?
In the middle of the night, Ning Que once again followed the path among the peach blossoms to the cliff. However, tonight the clouds were thick, the moonlight could not fall on the world, and the clouds and mist below the cliff were lingering, thinking about the thousands of knives he had endured last night. He didn't dare to go on because of his pain and the bitterness in the mist.
The same was true for the next few nights, he couldn't see Chen Pipi.
In the following time, Ning Que repaired the internal injuries suffered on the cliff with awe-inspiring aura, turned out countless old-year classics, tried to find a feasible method, and then began to watch the moon night and night.
Since the narrow stone window can enter by light, so can the picture. He didn't want to perform pantomimes with Chen Pipi in the cliff like a fool, so he began to write letters.
Dip in the fine ink and leave clear and beautiful handwriting on the snow-white paper. Ning Que sat behind the case and kept writing, writing the plan of the academy and his own thoughts without missing the slightest. Finally, he talked about the troubles of the back mountain, and asked him if the food in the secluded pavilion is really so delicious?
……
……
In the garden in front of Tianyuyuan, Long Qing and **** Lu Chenjia are also looking at the moon.
Lu Chenjia is still so beautiful, like a beautiful flower, but with some water stains on the petals, it looks a little cold, not the delicate beauty of previous years.
Long Qing wears a silver mask on his face, and now no one can see the face under the mask anymore. The beauty that once fascinated countless girls in the world has long left only memories.
"I started to eat sweet potatoes in midsummer. I don't know when the habit formed. I heard that this habit has been maintained in the temple for thousands of years. The habit is really strong."
Long Qing looked at the half sweet potato in his hand, the corners of his lips exposed under the silver mask slightly raised, and said calmly: "It's just that I didn't expect that forming a new habit is so easy."
Lu Chenjia looked at the scar under his lips, with a dark expression thinking that habit failure is not terrible, and forgetting the habit is even more traumatic. Were you and I so strange back then under the stars of Huaqian?
The Battle of Tang Dynasty ended, Long Qing returned to the Xiling Temple, only to find that everything had changed.
He was originally the Master of the Judgment Temple, but now the person sitting on the Mo Jade God's Seat is Ye Hongyu, how could he return to the Judgment Temple? Moreover, he was once convicted of apostasy, although the crime was washed away with the help of Guanzhu's words, but with Guanzhu's fiasco in Chang'an, the eyes of many people in the temple became more complicated.
Xiling Temple was severely damaged in this war. As a strong man who knows his fate, he should have received more respect. With his seniority and realm in the Dao Sect, even if there are Ye Hongyu and those The past crimes could not affect his status, and even if he directly took over as the great priest of Tianyu, I believe no one can raise an objection.
However, everyone knows that he encountered the black wind in the south of Chang'an City. His proud state was chopped by the blades in the wind, and he was still seriously injured when he returned to the temple.
No one believes that he can rise from the abyss of despair and return to the top like the last time Ning Que was shot and scrapped. Just as Lu Chenjia thought, failure is not terrible, but repeated defeats have become a habit, no matter how firm Dao Xin is, how can he withstand such a heavy blow?
If it weren’t for the new emperor of the Yan Kingdom, Chongming, who sent a large amount of benefits to the temple and firmly expressed his support for him, if it weren’t for him to remotely control the tens of thousands of elite cavalry in the Eastern Wilderness, let alone the great priest, he even It is possible that even Tianyuyuan enshrines this idle post cannot be kept.
"What I said about the new habit is not the habit of losing to Ning Que, but that everyone, including the temple, got used to the moon above their heads in only half a year."
Long Qing looked at the moon in the night dome that had made thick clouds, and said, "The peach blossoms that have not bloomed for decades have suddenly reopened this year. They are still in full bloom and have not withered. Such a miraculous thing has been People are used to it. No one has ever looked at Manshan Peach Blossom and asked why."
His gaze fell on the Temple of Light on the top of the mountain and said, "I want to ask."
