Some people said goodbye, and more people were still in the field, struggling in the yellow sand, wandering in the lost.

Ye Su and Long Qing sat opposite each other, like an old Zen monk sitting and drinking tea, and like a national player sitting and playing chess, they didn't speak, they didn't look at each other, they were covered in blood, and they looked a little miserable.

The wind and sand under the stage have long stopped, and the wind and sand on the stage are about to stop, and the two of them are covered with sand and gravel, full of blood, and their clothes are extremely tattered, and they seem to fall down at any time.

Long Qing watched Chen Pipi and the others leave, strangely, he didn't seem to care, some of the temple cavalry had already come out of the chaos, but they didn't hear his order to pursue.

He just sat opposite Ye Su and waited for the wind and sand to finally stop.

The wind is the cold wind of winter, and the sand is the sand and gravel in the rivers and mountains and the sand scrolls, which are relatively vigorous, whistling and roaring, and it seems that there is no end to it, but in fact, there is an end to it.

With a snap, the river and mountain plate on Ye Su's knee broke from it.

The sand scroll in Longqing's hand has many pages, thick like a tombstone in front of the grave, the sand and gravel in front of the monument are fake, and it is found that it is a round stone like jade when you look closely.

Those cobblestones are very small, the material is very transparent, not like jade, but as if it is really the best jade, at this time in front of and behind Ye Su is thickly paved, like a beautiful pearl sea.

Long Qing stood up, blood dripping from his body, falling into this sea of pearls, dyeing this sea of pearls red.

The yellow sand in the river and mountain plate fell from the crack - it was real yellow sand, there was only a shallow layer in the plate, and it was only a shallow pile on the ground in front of Ye Su.

It's like a wild grave that no one takes care of. Worn short by wind and rain.

The square was stained red with the blood of the temple congregation and Protestants.

The Templar cavalry is being regrouped, some of the Protestants are dead, some are dying, and many are still alive, presumably a massacre later.

Ye Su looked at Long Qing and said, "Let them live." ”

Long Qing said expressionlessly, "I didn't want them to die. ”

Ye Su was a little surprised, silent, thinking about the meaning.

Long Qing raised his left hand, and those temple cavalry with blood-red eyes who were eager to slaughter the Protestant believers did not dare to make any moves. Forcibly suppressed his rapid breathing. Waiting for the order.

The Protestants in the room were Ye Su's most loyal followers, and nearly half of them had followed him from Linkang City, even the earliest students in the alley.

People knew what was going to happen in the next moment, and they rushed desperately towards that place. Leaders who want to protect them. but was rudely stopped and defeated by the temple cavalry. For a while, the cry shook the sky.

"Actually, you and I both know, as I said at the beginning...... There is no point in the pain of these followers of yours. The cries of those women were meaningless. ”

Long Qing looked at Ye Su and said, "From last night to this morning, these things that happened have no meaning, I need this ending, and you are also waiting for this ending, why bother?"

Ye Su didn't look at him, looked at the poor believers in the room, and was silent.

"When I was very young, when I entered the Heavenly Oracle Academy, I learned about your existence from her and the teacher, and you have always been the object of my admiration, or the object of awe and dare not chase, but in fact, it is not until these years that I really feel that you are a very remarkable person, because you have embarked on a new path completely different from ours. ”

Long Qing looked at him and said: "You are not a fanatical religious peddler, your Protestantism is not just empty talk, you did not use those bloody words to provoke your followers, on the contrary, you preached very calmly and did a lot of concrete and small things. Many people only notice that the Protestant doctrine is very new, or very rebellious, but no one understands what kind of organizational skills and strategy are required for the spread of Protestantism, and you do those things in silence, calm to perfection, not like a saint but more like a businessman. ”

"I have been in the Judgment Temple for a long time, I know a lot of things, she is naturally of great help to you, but it is you who really play a decisive role, your organizational skills are really strong, there are no loopholes in your thinking, you did not lose your cool after the Dao Gate began to purge you, you used yourself to attract all the attention of the Temple, but secretly sent seven disciples, including the first disciple Huanhuan, to various places, I think they are now hiding, but after a while, they will come out again to continue the mission you delivered. ”

Ye Su remained silent.

Long Qing looked at him quietly and said: "For my praise, you can keep silent all the time, you don't need to be recognized for these worldly abilities outside the sacred, you can deny this qiē, but can you tell me where Cheng Ziqing went? Why are there only a few Sword Pavilion disciples who followed you from Linkang here? Where did they go? These details that no one noticed, are what I admire you the most,"

"You have arranged the future, you have spread the fire all over the world, then even if you are dead now, there is no one who can stop the spread of Protestantism, so you can leave this world with peace of mind, and I suspect that you have been waiting for death to come. ”

Ye Su finally spoke: "Death is the deepest and most terrifying abyss for everyone. ”

Long Qing shook his head and said, "But everyone will die, just look at the kingdom of God or the abyss." You can't go to the kingdom of God, and you don't want to go to the abyss, so why is it that dying becomes the most important thing, dying in obscurity, or dying in front of tens of millions of believers and ordinary people like now? ”

"It is good to die in front of the whole world, to be righteous and awe-inspiring, calm and joyful, to see death as home, and to show every living being a new faith, the power of that faith, as a representation of one's own death. ”

"There is no divine in the empire, there is no divine in the world, there is no divine in the world, even the master is the master, and it is also necessary to be geniused to turn into that bright moon, you and I are mortals, how can you not die if you want to be holy......?

Speaking of this, Long Qing paused for a moment, looked at Ye Su's eyes, and said with a complicated expression: "The saint is not dead, the Great Dao is not good, you have to die." ”

Ye Su's expression was calm, and his gray temples were in it. I don't know when a remnant of snow drifted in, and it hasn't melted for a long time, as if the heat in his body has been seized by the Book of Heaven, and the breath will be gone.

"Actually, I've been wondering if Ning Que has also thought of this. ”

Long Qing turned around, the blood-colored pearl sea, touched the placket and scattered, rout like the waves at low tide, he looked in the direction of Chang'an City. He said expressionlessly: "Otherwise, he wouldn't not come." ”

Yesu and his Protestantism. It was extremely important for Tang Guohe Academy, and Daomen made a posture of swearing to kill Ye Su, so it stands to reason that Ning Que should be prepared, even if he can't come. Iron arrows should also come.

Ye Su said: "Or." He didn't expect the teacher to be so decisive. ”

This is indeed a possibility. Before last night, no one, including Xiong Chumo, the head of the temple, thought that the Guan Master was not afraid of the danger of the Dao Sect splitting, and directly chose to kill Ye Su and Ye Hongyu, the brother and sister.

"Li slowly or can't count the teacher's thoughts. Why can't Ning Que and Yu Curtain count? Even if they can't, with the temperament and habits of these two people, how can they not make some arrangements here?"

Long Qing said: "Ning Que didn't come, Iron Arrow didn't come, and Yu Curtain and Li slowly didn't come, which can only show that they know that you want to die, and they ...... I also want you to die, and even hide it from Li slowly, waiting for you to be killed by me. ”

After saying this, he smiled, and his smile was very restrained, confined to the small area at the corner of his lips, so he looked sarcastic. From beginning to end, Ye Su was very calm, obviously death was near, but he was still so calm, although this was a game with a tacit understanding with each other, he still felt a little unhappy, so he wanted to expose the intentions of the academy, thinking that this would break Ye Su's state of mind.

Ye Su's reaction was still not as he wished, and he said calmly: "I have been an enemy of the academy for twenty years, I know how those people live, I don't think they will be so realistic and indifferent. ”

What Long Qing said is actually very reasonable, Ye Su died and became holy, the disciples have already gone to various places, the fire of Protestantism is very well preserved, under the protection of Tang Guohe Academy, with the help of the hot oil of his death, the spread of Protestantism will become more rapid, from this point of view, his life and death are not important to the Academy.

But he still thought that the college would not do that, because it would not be in line with the intention of the college.

"Li slowly and naturally can't bear to see you die tragically in the flames, but Ning Que and Yu Curtain are different, not only to split the Daomen, but also to let the Protestants get a real new life in the flames, they will definitely be happy. ”

Long Qing said: "If Master and Ke Haoran were still alive, the academy would definitely not do this, because they wouldn't think like this, but you don't forget Ning Que and Yu Curtain...... They are all demonic people. ”

Ye Su was silent.

Long Qing continued: "Yu Curtain is the sect master of the Demon Sect, and he is the person that Liansheng values the most, and Ning Que is even more of Liansheng's second disciple, they all have Liansheng's unscrupulous temperament, and in some aspects there is more than Liansheng's understanding, what Liansheng can't do, they don't necessarily want to do, they can't do it." ”

What did Liansheng want to do back then? He wanted to turn the world into a sea of blood, to turn heaven and earth upside down, to turn the Daomen into ashes, and to turn this world into a new world.

The academy, in fact, thinks the same way, but in the past, the academy would never use such a cold method, and now the pair of senior siblings who are really in charge of the academy will think?

Ye Su didn't want to continue, how the academy chose to this time, it no longer made any sense to him, he looked up with difficulty, looked at the blue sky that was getting bluer and bluer, looked at the rising sun that was getting higher and higher but getting shallower and shallower, and said: "No matter what the academy thinks, what I do, I must continue to do it." ”

Long Qing looked at him, and after all, he still showed a little respect, and said: "Turn yourself into a torch and ignite the whole world?" I heard that Jun Mo is also burning the Hanging Temple, and he is a madman. ”

Listening to Jun Mo's name, Ye Su's face showed a smile and said, "In the end, I am doing the same thing as him, I am very proud, and I think he will feel proud in the future." ”

This sentence itself is very proud, proud that Jun Mo was his opponent, proud that he surpassed himself, proud that he stood higher than back then, and could see the scenery farther away.

Or maybe it's because he was standing in the small courtyard at this time, standing on that pyre, he was tied to a cross-shaped wooden frame, and he couldn't leave it, and he could see the world from afar.

Long Qing stood in front of the pyre, looked at him and said, "I will light the fire myself." ”

Ye Su no longer looked at the sky, his eyes narrowed by the morning sun, looked at him and asked, "What I don't understand is that since you know everything, why do you come to light this fire for me." ”

Long Qing raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "The division commander has a life." Had to start with. ”

The two people above and below the pyre have the same teacher, Ye Su looked at the fragment of the book of heaven on his waist and said, "The teacher also understands if he wants to come, why bother with this innocent book." ”

Long Qing was silent, and then said: "Since people can write, then there will be no need for heavenly books in the future. ”

Listening to these words, Ye Su understood something.

He and Longqing had never heard the conversation between the Guanzhu and the middle-aged Taoist on the Taoshan Yaping, but they were the disciples of the Guanzhu and the great figures of the Daomen. He has been familiar with the classics since childhood. At this time, it was just a very simple conversation, and I accurately understood the true intention of the viewer, and the feelings became a little unstable.

Ye Su looked somewhere in the distance, not knowing whether it was Zhishouguan or Linkang City. Youyou said: "Know its strength." Guarding the female. For the world stream. For the world stream, Changde does not leave, and returns to the baby. ”

Long Qing listened to this scripture. He was silent for a long time, and then recited: "Know its white, keep its black, for the world." For the world's style, Changde is not distant, and it returns to Wuji. ”

Ye Su said: "We ourselves, the way, the truth, and the life, and if we follow ourselves, we will surely walk out of the dark valley and have the greatest joy...... It turns out that this is also a knowledge. ”

Long Qing lowered his head, not knowing whether he was looking at the terrifying and ugly hole under his clothes, or looking at the thick ground, and his voice seemed to flow out of his lips on its own: "We ourselves, we can also be Haotian." ”

Ye Su smiled and said, "It turns out that it has been like this from the beginning. ”

Long Qing raised his head, looked at him in the sun, and said, "You are right. ”

Ye Su said: "There is no right or wrong. ”

"If the teacher thinks you're right, that's right. ”

Speaking of this, Long Qing paused, he thought that he would be a little jealous, but he didn't expect his mood to be so calm, but he sighed a little: "In the end, you are the most proud of him." ”

Ye Su thought for a while and said, "Right or wrong, after all, it still depends on the final ending." ”

Long Qing said: "What you do, what the teacher and master do, what will happen is no longer destined." ”

Ye Su said: "Yes, if there is no sky, there is naturally no heaven." ”

Long Qing glanced into the distance and said, "It's been long enough. ”

Ye Su said: "Since the person you are waiting for has not come, it seems that it really won't come." ”

Long Qing took the torch from one of the priests, walked to the pyre, thought about it, and finally didn't say anything, put the torch on the edge of the pyre, and then stepped back.

Fire is one of nature's most wonderful phenomena, it can be contagious, it can also be replicated, it can change from the tiniest firefly to a wildfire, which is definitely not what water can do.

The flame on the torch licked the dry wood beside him, and after a while, the edge of the dry wood was blackened and charred, and green smoke and bright flames were baked, and so on, and the fire gradually spread far away.

Most of the dry firewood piled up in the small courtyard was chopped by Long Qing himself, and he selected it very carefully, no matter the length or thickness, it was very suitable for burning, and the fire soon grew bigger.

In the previous battle, the courtyard wall had collapsed a lot, but at this time, with the crackling sound in the pyre, all the wall bricks fell, and the picture of the pyre burning fell in everyone's eyes.

Tens of thousands of Protestant believers and the people of the Song Kingdom who were ordered to watch the execution in front of them, looking at this scene, some people felt extremely sad, some people felt very unbearable, and gradually there were crying sounds.

Ye Su's clothes began to burn, and the bright yellow flames gradually passed over his knees and devoured his people.

I don't know who knelt down first, probably a Protestant believer, despite the threat of the temple cavalry, knelt down in front of him on the stake, and kowtowed again and again.

Immediately afterwards, more people knelt down, and even the tens of thousands of people of the Song Kingdom who came to watch the execution were shocked by the person with a calm expression on the stake table, and knelt down uncontrollably.

The cry grew louder and louder, and gradually merged into a torrent, reaching into the heavens.

Ye Su suddenly said: "When the eternal night comes, the light of the sun will be completely obscured, and the sky and the earth will be plunged into darkness, and people will rejoice in it, because that is the real life." ”

At this time he was in the fire, baptized in pain.

He calmly repeated his prophecy.

Because he doesn't want the believers to cry and people grieve because of themselves.

The Protestants outside the courtyard tried to rush in to save him, but they were slashed by the temple cavalry with knives and fell in a pool of blood.

The Protestant believers in the distance also began to repeat this passage, because they were his followers, and the rest of the Song people, who sympathized with his plight and pity his end, listened silently, but for some reason, they were attracted by the meaning of this sentence, and finally began to read it along.

"When the Eternal Night Comes......"

"The sky and the earth were plunged into darkness......"

“...... That's what really lives. ”

The voices of tens of thousands of people echoed in the square.

Before, the cry shook the sky, but now the sky seemed to tremble really, and the clouds that were dispersed by the sunlight and flowed to the four fields were all shaken back, like clear water flowing into the bottom of the bowl.

But it gives people a feeling of extreme silence, and the pious and focused chanting sound, just like when Ye Su said this passage before, like a cicada in the forest, like a waterfall in the wind, so that the whole world is silent.

Longqing didn't do anything, didn't let the temple cavalry suppress it, and drank it, even though the chanting of the people clearly represented support for Protestantism and dissatisfaction with Taoism.

He just looked at Ye Su on the pyre in silence, his feelings were very complicated, so complicated that he couldn't even figure out what he had experienced, and whether what he knew could make him truly calm.

The sound of the people's chant became more and more neat and louder, like a drum on the battlefield, but it was not blindly inspiring, but gradually there was a sense of sacredness and solemnity, which enveloped the whole city and the wider world.

Ye Su's voice became weaker and weaker, more and more scattered, and when he repeated it for the third time, the words that came out of his lips were already fragmented, and his muttering was muttered, and he couldn't hear it clearly.

For the merciless flames had crossed his knees and plated into his chest and abdomen like golden light, and his body was burning, forbidden to be punished or baptized in the most painful form.

Long Qing looked at him in the fire, as if he heard him say: Look, they didn't pray.
