......

There are only Sangsang on the portraits all over the streets, but the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism know that Ning Que is following Sangsang, and they also know that the conspicuous black carriage that cannot be disguised no matter how disguised it is.

The black carriage is the inheritance left to him by Yan Se, and the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism must think that he will not be willing to give up, and he took advantage of this to leave the big black horse and carriage outside the city, but he took Sangsang into the city.

He chose to hide temporarily in Chaoyang City, because he wanted to wait here for the senior brother, and Sang Sang's condition was repeated, if he wanted to flee thousands of miles and fight to the end, he was worried that Sang Sang would not be able to hold on.

Even if he can't wait for the senior brother, he must come to Chaoyang City, because he believes in the truth that the light is dark, believes in his ability to hide his whereabouts, and hopes that the Buddhist temple here can make Sangsang's condition better.

Walking in Chaoyang City with Sangsang on his back, it didn't take long for Ning Que to find his goal. It is a dilapidated courtyard not far from the palace of the Moon Wheel Kingdom, and you can directly see the famous White Pagoda Temple from the courtyard, but it is located in a noisy and chaotic lower neighborhood, which is easy to hide.

The most important and decisive reason why he chose this small courtyard was because it was dilapidated, the door was full of dust, and at first glance he knew that no one had lived in it for a long time, and it was as quiet as a yin house.

Ning Que didn't go to the side to inquire about the story of the small courtyard, because any contact with others could lead to unexpected results, so he sneaked directly into the Chaoyang City Mansion to secretly search the case file. confirmed that as expected, there was an extremely bloody murder in that small courtyard last year.

The owner of the small courtyard died in the tragedy, and the relatives who were eligible to inherit the small courtyard were obsessed with cultivating Buddhism and were unwilling to take over this small courtyard full of sins and anger, so the small courtyard was repossessed by the Yuelun Imperial Court, but there were still no people willing to buy and lease, that is, officials and monks who were greedy for money. They also didn't have any interest in the small courtyard.

Ning Que naturally wouldn't rent the small courtyard, and when twilight came, he carried Sang Sang on his back from the broken wall on the back street. Easily leap into the small courtyard, through the main hall to the bedroom in the backyard.

Along the way, the twilight was dim. The silence is incomparable, the old bricks on the ground and the walls are still stained with jet-black old blood, which looks particularly gloomy, not to mention ordinary people, even if it is a butcher who has seen blood, I am afraid that I will feel that my scalp is numb, no wonder everyone avoids this mansion, and would rather abandon it than accept it.

Ning Que and Sang Sang didn't know how many dead people they had seen since they were children, and they had seen too many even more eerie and terrifying pictures than this. There was no fear at all, not even the slightest change in expression.

There was no blood in the bedroom, only the dusty bed and table, and he thought in silence for a moment before walking out of the courtyard again, and when he returned. He carried several bedding in his arms, and carried the plastering needed for carpentry work.

After a brief cleaning, Ning Que spread the thick cotton soft bedding on the ground, patted the new pillow on the pad, and then reopened the waste well in the courtyard to take water and adjust the ash. The cracks of the windows of the firewood room were all pasted flat and neat, leaving no gaps tightly, and a thick black cloth was hung on the windows and doors.

It was already dark, he stretched out his hand to hang down the two black cloths, and then walked out of the room, and said okay, only to hear the slight sound of a fire coming from the room, he looked closely, and found that there was no light leaking out, and nodded.

This is many years ago he took Sangsang to hunt in the Minshan Mountain, in the night snow squatting in the ambush and ambush of the boar when the ability to practice, the boar is particularly sensitive to light and the smell of people, he temporarily built a squatting point in the snow, can be strictly not transparent a ray of light and the smell of his body, now used to clean up these, naturally there is no difficulty.

The night was dark, the small courtyard was still gloomy, no one dared to approach here, and even if they did, they would only see the same dilapidated picture as before, and there was no trace of anyone coming.

The Buddha Sect was searching for the black carriage everywhere, trying to find Ning Que and Sangsang, countless powerhouses of the Daomen, ambushed in the green mountains that must be passed by the Tang Dynasty, who would have thought that the daughter of the Hades King was in the small courtyard very close to the White Pagoda Temple.

A black crow, perched on a tree in the courtyard, looked up at the stars.

......

......

Chaoyang City is full of portraits of Sangsang, there are crowds gathered in front of each Buddhist temple, the monks are there to tell the legend of the underworld, the last words of the Buddha, the story of the daughter of the Hades, the Yuelun people are very complicated, some are frightened, some are afraid and angry, the Buddha teaches not to be angry, all of them are left behind, and gradually the crowd is excited, people wave their fists, saying that they want to find the daughter of the Hades, and then burn her to death.

Ning Que walked through the streets, the discussion and anger of the crowd, and the most vicious curses on Sangsang, had no effect on him, and it didn't take long for him to come to the Liesburg.

The envoys of the Tang Dynasty in the Moon Wheel Country were in the guest house. Instead of entering the hotel, he stood in a slightly quieter back alley, listening intently to the movement in the courtyard walls before deciding what to do.

"This is not Mingzhe to protect himself! It is not a surrender! It is a right thing to do! My Tang Empire is the leader of the world, of course I don't have to care about the pressure of the Moon Wheel Country, even if the Xiling Temple can make me back down? But I can't watch the world perish like this, this is also the responsibility that our Datang should bear!"

Ning Que stood quietly in the alley outside the wall, listened for a while, and the most useful information he heard was this passage, the person who spoke was the envoy of the Tang Dynasty in the Moon Wheel, he slowly lowered his head, and then turned to leave.

Sang Sang looked at the look on his face, and knew that the situation was not very good, and reached out to hold his hand. Ning Que smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, it's just that I was a little surprised when I heard something." ”

Sangsang asked, "What's the matter?"

Ning Que said, "How long do you guess we've been away from the Rotten Ke Temple?"

Sang Sang thought for a while and said, "It's been at least more than a month." ”

"Wrong, it's a year. ”

Ning Que touched her slightly cool little face and said, "A year has passed unconsciously, so I still have the patience to stay up for another half a year, and I will take you to Baita Temple to read the Buddhist scriptures tomorrow." ”

The first half of his life with Sangsang was the first half of his life. Life was extremely difficult, even bitter, but it was also those difficult days that allowed them to become who they are now, and gave them the courage, perseverance, indifference and patience that ordinary people could not imagine.

Ten years ago, in the depths of the ice-covered Minshan Mountain, Ning Que carried Sangsang on his back and squatted in the snow cellar to ambush and kill the mountain boar, but unexpectedly, a winter bear that was awakened unexpectedly appeared. After killing the boar and feasting on it, the winter bear seemed to sense that there was still food, and stayed near the snow cellar and refused to leave. Leaning on the carcass of a boar, he stayed for a few more days.

At that time, Ning Que was not strong enough, and Sang Sang was still a six-year-old girl, and it was impossible for her to defeat a greedy winter bear. They had no choice but to hide in the snow cellar and wait and pray.

Haotian's prayers can never wait for a response, but the waiting beyond the tolerance of ordinary people can always be exchanged for success in the end, the winter bear finally couldn't resist the hunger, and left in a huff, Ning Que carried the dying Sangsang on his back, and when he climbed out of the snow cellar, they had been in the snow cellar for four days and four nights.

In that case, both himself and Sangsang could survive. Why can't you survive now? Ning Que looked at the autumn sky outside the window that was gradually becoming clearer, looked at the autumn clouds that were getting thicker and thicker, and thought silently.

On the tree in the small courtyard, the black crow crowed, which was very unpleasant.

......

......

Ning Que and Sangsang. Disappearing in this world again, they had disappeared for a whole year, but that time the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism guessed that they were either dead, or that they could not be found in the chessboard world left by the Buddha, and no one would be shocked. I don't think it's incredible.

However, now that they have left the chessboard world of the Buddha and returned to the world again, they have disappeared again, the two powerhouses of Buddhism and Taoism and countless people in the world have exhausted all methods, but they cannot find their traces, and they can't help but be shocked and vigilant to the extreme, you must know that there are even many people who are even watching the academy now.

An old monk slowly walked out of the sinkhole deep in the Far West Wasteland, and then walked forward.

The old monk wore a hat, his face could not be seen clearly, he held a tin staff, and walked very slowly, not the kind of slowness that was deliberate to show calmness, but his feet seemed to be closely connected to the desolate and boundless earth, and every step was so difficult, naturally slow.

The tin staff in the old monk's hand kept moving on the ground, as if he was looking for something or someone in the wasteland, but he walked so hard and slowly, who could he find?

However, the moment he walked out of the sinkhole, he seemed to have found something and said, "Wang Ting." ”

The yellow temple between the giant peaks in the center of the sinkhole rang with a distant bell.

Thousands of miles away, in the right tent royal court, a dusty scholar, looked at Shan Yu and more than a dozen royal court priests who were like great enemies, bowed slightly, and said, "May I ask if you have seen my little junior brother?"

More than ten miles away, the auxiliary seat of the Venerable Hall of the Hanging Temple, with thirty ascetic monks, rushed to the royal court.

The old monk continued to walk slowly by himself, and after walking for a long time, he stopped again and said, "Liuguan." ”

The yellow temple bells between the giant peaks in the center of the sinkhole ring again.

The scholar appeared in Liuguan, a famous trading hub on the edge of the wasteland.

A thousand grassland cavalry and several cavalry of the Moon Wheel Country received the military order and galloped towards Liuguan.

The old monk continued walking, and after a day, he stopped and said the name of a place again.

The first seat of the Venerable Hall of the Hanging Temple, quietly looking at the scholars under the poplar trees not far away.

......

......

The elder brother looked at the rough bark of the poplar tree and understood what was happening.

Regardless of the danger of falling, with the ability of no distance, he searched everywhere for the traces of the little junior brother, and the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism sent people to follow him constantly, so even if he found Ning Que, he would not be able to take him away quietly, and he would definitely face a steady stream of attacks from the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, regardless of life and death.

No practitioner can keep up with the situation and find himself accurately every time, and he must meet two conditions at the same time, the other party must have a sufficient number of strong men or armies, be ready near all the places he can reach, and at the same time, the other party must be able to know where he is in the shortest possible time.

Logically speaking, it is simply impossible to meet these two conditions at the same time, but when the entire human world is searching for Sangsang, when the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism join forces with the entire world, they can really send a sufficient number of strong people or armies, and someone can complete the second condition.

The senior brother seems to be gentle and wooden, but in fact he is extremely intelligent, and it only took a short time for him to figure out everything and confirm his conjecture: the first lecture in the Hanging Temple has finally come to the world.

He looked at Qimei and smiled slightly, sat down against the poplar tree, took out the old book from his waist and began to read, there was no pond beside him to drink with a scoop of water, and his expression was still calm and calm.

Since the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism tried to determine the location of Ning Que and Sangsang through him, from this moment on, he decided to do nothing but study, eat, and sleep.

Doing nothing is the best way to hide, on the contrary, if you do more to cover up, the easier it will be to expose, the senior brother does not understand this truth, but he does what he wants, and naturally makes the most correct choice.

Ning Que has a lot of experience in hiding and fleeing, he understands this truth, and he also does this, except for taking Sangsang to various Buddhist temples to read scriptures and heal diseases, he never goes out of the small courtyard, and he never even goes to find the senior brother.

Sangsang's illness improved slightly, or he did not become stricter for the time being, and he still had no energy, and just after noon, he fell into a deep sleep.

Ning Que sat on the side of the bed and began to read.

This book is a hand-copied Buddha's notes in the Ranke Temple, and the text of the Tianshu Ming scroll and the Buddha's explanation marginal notes are arranged in relative order, so that it is easier to read more clearly, but there is still no more to see at that time.

These days, I took Sangsang to several Buddhist temples, and Ning Que vaguely felt something, so he read this notebook again, frowned slightly and said to himself: "The night is solstice, because of the moon...... What does it mean that the shadow of the night falls on the moon and can no longer be washed away?"

He looked at the sleeping Sangsang, looked at her pale little face, reached out and touched it gently, thinking that the shadow of the night mentioned in the Ming scroll was naturally the daughter of the Hades, that is, Sangsang.

The shadow of the night falls on the moon, and it can no longer be washed away...... Judging from the literal meaning and the current situation, this moon naturally refers to oneself, and it is true that only oneself has seen the moon in the whole world.

Ning Que was thoughtful and enlightened, but he was still confused.

There were a few ugly quacks outside the window, and he confirmed that no one was outside the courtyard, so he pushed the door and walked into the courtyard, looking at the black crows on the trees, and frowning slightly.

On the first night of coming to the courtyard, a crow flew in, and after that, a black crow flew every day, and gradually more and more of it, and the branches were almost unable to bear the weight of these guys.

No matter how you look at it, there is a strange smell of it.

He looked up at the sky, and the clouds over Chaoyang City became more and more numerous, and those clouds had been slowly approaching and merging, gradually turning into thick clouds that obscured the sky.

As the clouds thickened, the people of the city finally felt a chill, and autumn was finally coming to an end.

For Ning Que and Sang Sang, the autumn of the previous year and the autumn of this year are connected, in these two autumns, there are too many things happening to them, how can it not be emotional?
