Volume 6 Suddenly, Chapter 97: The Two Banks of the River (I)
The middle-aged Taoist didn't laugh or speak, just stood quietly aside, as if the value of the curtain and Jun Mo's silence didn't mean anything to him.
At this moment, the rain became lighter, and the sound of hooves and wheels crushing on the road stones was heard again in the street, and the roasted sweet potato shop at the other end of the town was closed, and the white-haired old man and the middle-aged man, father and son, rode in the ox cart in the light rain, and stopped in front of the butcher's shop, and the son came out with two hot roasted sweet potatoes.
Yu Curtain and Jun Mo took the roasted sweet potato, nodded in greeting, the old man wiped the raindrops from his white hair, patted the thick neck of the scalper, and said, "It will be difficult to eat in the town in the future." ”
His family has been roasting sweet potatoes in the town in front of Momoyama, roasting for a whole thousand years, passed down from ancestors to contemporary times, and has never been broken, in addition to watching the movement of the temple for the academy, the most important reason is that the master likes to eat his family's roasted sweet potatoes, and it must also be the original stove, in the original town.
The battle was about to begin, and the father and son who baked the sweet potatoes evacuated the town, and the temple cavalry hidden in the rain and outside the town did not dare to stop them, and silently gave way to the way.
Yu Curtain tore open the slightly charred crust of the roasted sweet potato, picked out some red potato flesh with his little finger and handed it into his mouth, sipped the tender ** and chewed for a long time, feeling that although it was delicious, it was not as exaggerated as the teacher said.
Jun Mo thought about it, didn't eat it on the spot, but carefully wrapped the roasted sweet potato with a handkerchief, put it in his arms, and then looked at the middle-aged Taoist, his eyes penetrated the autumn rain, and he didn't know where it fell.
Yu Curtain reminded him beside him, "That veil is mine." ””
Jun Mo said: "That's Senior Brother's." ”
Yu Curtain was a little annoyed, ignored him anymore, took the roasted sweet potato, looked at the butcher in the threshold and said: "Whether the Dao Gate can survive, the viewer doesn't care, and you have no reason to care." ”
One moment she talks about sweet potatoes and handkerchiefs, and the next moment she talks about Taoism and the world, life and sacredness are never so easy to unify and harmonize, so her words and deeds seem a little cute.
Today, it is raining in the autumn rain, and she seems to be deliberately letting herself go on a lovely path.
The butcher raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "How can you, a junior, understand?"
Yu Curtain looked around and found that there were no trash cans on the side of the street, so he casually threw the roasted sweet potatoes he didn't want to eat onto the rain-soaked ground, and said, "Isn't it just betting on both sides?"
The butcher's thick eyebrows grew higher and higher.
Yu Curtain said: "The drunkard followed the Guanzhu, whether it was a fist or a gloomy peeping, even if he bet on that side, you came to Taoshan, naturally you want to bet with the Daomen abandoned by the Guanzhu, I don't understand why, why none of you are willing to bet with my academy?"
The butcher mocked, "Because there is no Haotian in the academy." ”
Yu Curtain looked at him expressionlessly, looked at him for a long time, and then said: "Could it be that there is a Daomen? Don't forget to bet on both sides, it is easiest to fall short at both ends." ”
The butcher was silent for a moment, and then said, "If I kill you, I can stand on the bank of the river and wait for the end to appear, and whoever wins, it will not do me any harm." ”
Yu Curtain said, "You must see the end?"
The butcher said, "Yes." ”
Yu Curtain said with a look of hatred: "Sure enough, it is already rotten! I dare not do anything interesting except to watch, except to wait like a dog!"
The butcher walked to the threshold of the butcher's shop, picked up the knife on the ground, looked at the gray sky cut into countless thin strips by the autumn rain, and said, "When you live long enough, you will be as careful as we are." ”
Jun Mo didn't speak much, and when he heard his sigh, he said: "Live so carefully, the longer you live, the more boring it will be." ”
After saying this, he walked out of the town with the curtain, the autumn rain fell on the two brothers and sisters, slightly wet, and the rain on the street was crackled by the footsteps.
Standing at the entrance of the town in the autumn rain, Jun Mo said, "I didn't see it." ”
There was a hint of worry between Yu Curtain's eyebrows, and he said: "According to Ye Hongyu's recollections, there should still be remnants of that scroll, if it wasn't in the hands of that person, where would it be now?"
At this time, the middle-aged Taoist said in the distance: "The two of you have come from afar, why don't you go up the mountain as guests?"
Yu Curtain turned around, looked at him and said, "The evil guest doesn't need to be invited, it's okay today." ”
The middle-aged Taoist said: "The two gentlemen must always have something to teach. ”
Yu Curtain said: "I am the sect master of the Demon Sect that has penetrated into Xiling for thousands of years and is closest to Taoshan, just based on this, I am very satisfied, if the butcher doesn't do it, why should I move?"
Jun Mo was much more direct than her, looked at the middle-aged Taoist and said: "I don't dare to teach it, I just spread a word to the people in the temple, from now on, Taoshan can only enter but not leave." ”
The middle-aged Taoist's expression changed slightly.
At this moment, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the rain clouds in the sky.
More than 1,000 cavalry riders from the Xiling Temple inside and outside the town, as well as those priests and deacons hidden in the mountains and forests, listened to Jun Mo's words, listened to the thunder, and were stunned to say anything.
is a plain and casual sentence, but it is extremely domineering.
As if to prove Jun Mo's words, the sound of dense horses' hooves faintly came from the depths of the autumn rain, the earth trembled slightly, and the rain accumulated in the puddle trembled a little light, obviously still in the distance, because the momentum was too fierce, it gave people a feeling that the wind and thunder swept the earth, and even the autumn rain was going to blow away.
In the north, the Tang Iron Cavalry, led by Xu Shi himself, broke through the three lines of defense of the Xiling Temple in the morning and arrived at Qiaobian Town, which was more than 40 miles away from Taoshan.
In the east, the hundreds of monks and soldiers of the Rotten Ke Temple led by the Guanhai monk marched silently in the autumn rain, and as for the strong people of the Buddhist sect, including those Yidao masters, they should arrive faster.
In the west, Cheng Lixue, who was full of silver hair, summoned the old subordinates of the Heavenly Oracle Temple in Snow Tree Township, and was already approaching, he looked at the Heavenly Oracle Temple on Peach Mountain, which had grown since childhood, silent and emotional.
In the south, countless swords flashed with sword light, in the gloomy valley, countless rain-soaked trees broke off the sword, and the blood-colored gods and pear blossom-white kings, under the arch guard of tens of thousands of river troops, slowly approached Peach Mountain, and the deacons of the Xiling Temple encountered along the way didn't even dare to speak.
Taoshan has been surrounded, and the Xiling Temple is in danger. Jun Mo said that from this moment on, Momoyama can only enter and not exit, not because he is too domineering, but because the academy is now qualified to say this.
What is shocking and puzzling is that the academy did not immediately start attacking Momoyama, or that it had something to do with the butcher in the town, and it seemed that there was some other reason.
The academy seems to be waiting for something. At the same time, many people also noticed that at such an important and even final moment, Ning Que was not there, and Long Qing was not there.
......
......
Before, Ning Que ended his cultivation and perception process of watching the stone crack in the Rotten Ke Temple, and looked at the hundreds of mulberry statues in front of the rain hall, with a satisfied smile on his face.
He picked out a stone statue that he was most satisfied with and put it in his arms, it was a Sangsang side sleeping statue, she slept on the hot and straight kang, but she was still coldly shrunk together, wanting to get into someone's arms, her feet were exposed outside the futon, white like two ** lotus flowers, tender and pitying.
He left Washan in the autumn rain and embarked on a journey to find Sangsang again, only this time he was much more confident, as if he had sensed it in the dark, and went directly to the north.
Before Washan was the Song Kingdom, there was a very unknown town at the junction of the Song Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom, and the day he walked into the town, the sky suddenly fell with snow, and I heard that it was the first snow of the year.
The only butcher shop in the town has been closed, and the calligraphy and painting shop is still there, because the drunkards who like to drink do not know where they have gone, so there is only the fragrance of tea and ink in the shop.
Ning Que walked into the calligraphy and painting shop, put the fried chicken he bought in the previous town on the table, looked at the boss with a slightly rickety back and said, "Drink two glasses with me?"
Turning towards Xiaoshu, he looked at him and shook his head, but still took two wine cups.
Zhang San and Li Si heard the voice, rushed to the front shop, and found that it was him, they couldn't help but be startled, subconsciously looked around, and used the fastest speed to carry the door and close the store, and then came to greet him.
"I've seen Uncle Xiao. ”
Ning Yi nodded, motioned for them to bring a bowl to hold rice wine, and said, "The butcher is in Momoyama, and the drunkard is chasing the senior brother, don't pay attention to those things." ”
Chao Xiaoshu said: "It took me a long time to set up this bureau. ”
Ning Que said: "So no matter how cautious you are, you should be?" Okay, I admit that I came today to break this game, and I don't want you to continue this game." ”
Said to Xiaoshu, "Can you kill him?"
Ning Que was silent, with the immeasurable dual realm of the drunkard, even if the senior brother and the third senior sister joined forces, they might not be able to really kill, let alone him.
"I'm going to the north, and I've always felt that there was something wrong with it. He looked at Chao Xiaoshu quietly and said, "Go back to Chang'an City, sister-in-law, children and old man are waiting for you." ”
Chao Xiaoshu didn't respond, raised the wine cup, and said, "Drink this glass of wine." ”
Ning Que drank it all and expressed his sincerity.
Said to Xiaoshu, "Then go." ”
......
......
Ning Que was driven out of the town, so he had to carry the stone statue and continue to walk north.
He couldn't know exactly where it was, but he knew it was in the north.
The town is at the turn of Song Yan, not far from the town, it enters the Yan realm, where there is a river that runs horizontally with Si, flows into Daze from north to south, and then enters the big river, and finally enters the sea.
Ning Que rode a big black horse and galloped through the fields and hills on the east bank of the river.
It was early winter, the river water was damp and the fog was heavy, especially in the morning, which was very different from the world.
Ning Que felt that he saw his reflection in the fog.
The fog on the river seems to have turned into a mirror.
It wasn't until the morning sun rose and the fog lifted that he realized that there was no mirror hidden in the fog, and that the other side of the river was not his own shadow, but a man riding a horse like himself.
The man was also dressed in black and rode on a black horse, much like him.
The difference is only that Ning Que is wearing a black hospital uniform, and the person is wearing a black robe.
That person was Long Qing.
......
......
(Actually, I really want to let Chao Xiaoshu say: Let's go?Ning Que said: Walk, and then drank a glass of wine, and when Chao Xiaoshu drank, he said to Xiaoshu: Then you go...... All kinds of discomfort, but this chapter is well written, and I can be sure of this, so I feel a little comforted. (To be continued.) )
