Long Qing Riko remembered who Ning Que was.

His life is dazzling, and he rarely encounters the opportunity to be humiliated, and the last time in the victory house, the academy student in front of him and his little maid humiliated him twice, at least in his opinion, it was humiliation, so it was impossible for him to forget the other party, and in the car he even admitted that his Dao heart was a little uncertain because of this, and he hated this person very much.

Because of disgust, he asked the subordinates of the Adjudication Division to investigate Ning Que afterwards, but the results of the investigation made him a little disappointed, this academy student was really just a waste of words, unable to practice, and could not become his opponent at all. Since he was not qualified to be his opponent, he thought that there was no need to remember such a person.

Climbing the mountain today, Prince Longqing imagined what kind of competitors he might encounter, such as the young monk who was obviously from an unknown place, such as the young swordsman from the Southern Jin Dynasty, he even imagined that the academy side might hide his backhand, but he never thought that the person who broke through the fog behind him was Ning Que.

He looked at Ning Que's face in silence and smiled meaningfully.

Ning Que saw that he didn't mean to eat pastries...... He took his hand back and said with a smile, "Don't be too surprised, it's not an illusion." ”

At this moment, two pieces of emerald green bamboo slowly floated over under the starlight, hovering in front of them as if they were alive, and the voice of the second senior brother of the academy sounded again from under the green tree.

"The stubborn stone at the end of the mountain road is the spire of the mountain, and whoever climbs it first will be able to enter the second floor of the academy, but I must remind you that the stone steps of just ten steps are more difficult than all the tests you have experienced before, and if you force it to hold on, it is very likely to cause irreversible damage to your body and spirit. ”

"Hold two pieces of green bamboo in your hands, and if you feel that you can't hold it later, you can break it. ”

Prince Longqing and Ning Que waved their hands under the green tree, reached into the air to remove the emerald green bamboo slices, and then walked forward.

The two of them walked side by side, there was no expression on Prince Longqing's face, and his steps did not speed up, allowing Ning Que to walk beside him while chewing pastries, waiting for him to admit that he had the qualifications to be side by side.

"Actually, I envy you. ”

Ning Que looked at the prince's perfect side face, wiped the pastry crumbs in his hand on the hem of his clothes, shrugged his shoulders and said: "You have a good background, good talent, good life, and a partner who is envied by the world, like me, who has a bad background, bad talent, and a bad fate, and there will always be only a little black charcoal next to me, it is too hard to run to your part." ”

When the two of them walked under the boulder and stood in front of the two steep and narrow paths on the left and right, Prince Longqing suddenly turned his head to look at him and said calmly: "You have given me a lot of surprises, I knew that this was the case, so I shouldn't have waited for you." ”

After saying this, Prince Longqing did not hesitate at all, lifted the hem of his clothes, and stepped on the stone path.

Ning Que stared at the entrance of the stone path in a daze, and his heart set off countless waves, as a guy who had been struggling at the bottom of life and death for many years, he knew very well that when a strong and proud person said such a thing, it would become truly terrifying.

The two last climbers began to climb the huge rock hanging on the top of the hill behind the academy, and their figures disappeared.

At the far end of the meadow, under the big green tree, suddenly there were many more figures, all around pointing to the rocks and whispering, these figures were men and women, sitting or standing, counting exactly twelve people.

Some people go to the piano with the three strings on their backs, some people have chess scales under their armpits, some people have an ancient hole in front of their knees, some people hold a taut embroidered cloth frame in their hands, and there is a thin needle between their other fingers.

There was also a strong man standing behind the tree holding an extremely heavy hammer in his hand, and while others were discussing, the strong man stared at the strange and tall ancient crown above the head of the second senior brother under the tree, and his eyes were full of burning eagerness.

Chen Pipi walked out from behind the tree, looked at the strong man's eyes and was startled, hurriedly stopped him, and said: "Sixth Senior Brother, if you really go down with a hammer, the second senior brother's hat may be flattened, but your head is also very likely to be flattened." ”

The second senior brother who was sitting cross-legged under the green tree snorted coldly and slowly turned his head.

The sixth senior brother took the hammer behind him as quickly as possible, with a sincere smile on his face, and explained: "Senior brother, you know, my heart itches a lot if I don't hit the iron for a day, and I can't hold it anymore after watching it for a day. ......

This explanation is really a bit inexplicable, absurd to the extreme, but the second senior brother nodded his head, indicating that he accepted this explanation, waved his hand and said indifferently: "It won't take long for the result to be available." ”

Yu Curtain, the female professor of the academy, was also at the top of the mountain, and she seemed to deliberately keep a distance from the other eleven people, standing far away among some flower circles behind the tree, watching the discussion of her fellow disciples with a quiet smile.

The middle-aged man with the ancient flute on his lap looked at the boulder on the edge of the cliff that seemed to be crumbling, but in fact it had not trembled for tens of thousands of years, and said with emotion: "Today, the prince of Longqing is still the most powerful, the second person in the adjudication department of the Xiling Temple, and it is really not to be underestimated, if nothing else, he may be our little junior brother." ”

Hearing the words of the Xiling Divine Temple's Ruling Division, everyone's eyes under the tree looked at Chen Pipi.

Chen Pipi's chubby face showed a rare look of embarrassment, and he waved his hand and explained: "I haven't been to the temple again, when I met Ye Hongyu, she had just entered the Judgment Division, but in my opinion, that woman must be much stronger than Long Qing." ”

"The three idiots in the world are naturally extraordinary. The embroidery sister said with a smile.

The second senior brother said with a solemn expression: "But all the famous families and factions have extraordinary backgrounds, although those methods are difficult to enter the eyes of you and me, although they are naturally like dust compared to my academy, but it is enough to walk in the world."

Everyone under the tree admired and catered to each other, but they were thinking in their hearts, if it was the senior brother sitting under the tree today, he would definitely not say such a proud and narcissistic evaluation, but would only comment on the advantages and disadvantages of Xiling Taoism very honestly.

"I didn't expect that the person who could catch up with Prince Longqing and conduct the final exam together was actually the guy named Ning Que. ”

Shuping and the others turned their attention to Chen Pipi again.

Chen Pipi sighed helplessly and said, "Senior brothers and sisters, what do you think I am doing?"

Senior Sister Embroidery smiled and said, "Isn't that your friend?"

Chen Pipi touched his head and said in confusion: "I really didn't expect Ning Que to be able to walk to the top of the mountain, with my understanding of him, this guy can really endure hardships, his muscles and bones are polished like a pervert, and he can really practice without eating, so at the beginning, the mountain road should not stop him, and he has been reading books in the old book building for a year, if he wants to pass the chaimen, there is a little possibility, but I really didn't expect that even the mountain fog couldn't stop him, this is really a bit inexplicable." ”

Someone asked, "What realm is that person named Ning Que now?"

Chen Pipi replied, "Don't be confused. ”

Under the tree, he shouted lightly, and the person who asked the question said incredulously: "Prince Longqing is already in the upper realm of Dongxuan, and he is only one step away from knowing his fate, so it is something that everyone can think of if he can go to the bottom of the stone, but that is the realm of not confused, how did he come up?"

The second senior brother glanced at the man coldly...... I reprimanded: "Nonsense, naturally it came up. ”

In fact, this is real nonsense, but he is the second senior brother, when the master and the senior brother go to the country to travel history, the mountain behind the academy respects him, and the senior sisters under the tree naturally no one questions his statement.

The second senior brother raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "How many years has Master taught you, and you still can't figure out this kind of thing, how can there be completely certain rules in the world? If all the rules are predestined, then what are we still practicing and seeking? If all the rules cannot be changed, then what are we going to eat and drink? Why don't we jump off the cliff by ourselves?"

Everyone under the tree suddenly felt awe-inspired, knowing that the senior brother was formally teaching him, and listened solemnly.

"Although Ning Que is not confused, but who tells you that you can't climb to the top of the mountain if you are not confused? If only the Cave Xuan Upper Realm, a person like Long Qing who is only one step away from knowing his fate, can climb to the top of the mountain and enter the second floor, then why bother to take the exam?"

The second senior brother said indifferently: "If you don't get confused, you can't climb the mountain?" I told you before, I think that the senior brother stayed in the realm of not confused for seventeen years, and he went up and down the mountain I don't know how many times, and when did he roll down halfway?"

Someone hesitated and said, "Senior brother, although what you said is good, but comparing Ning Que with Senior Brother, isn't it too much to exalt him?"

The second senior brother looked at the boulder on the side of the cliff, and said indifferently after being silent for a long time: "If Ning Que can succeed today, then he is the second guy after the senior brother to successfully complete the whole journey of the back mountain without confusion, why can't he be compared?"

Hearing this, there was silence around the big green tree on the top of the mountain, and Chen Pipi could only vaguely hear Chen Pipi's unwilling words: "Even if he can reach the top, can he be more genius than this genius?"

"Actually, it's not bad if you let Ning Que be a junior brother. The embroidery sister looked at the chubby face of Chen Pipi like a big white japonica, and said with a smile: "Although the feel of pinching is definitely not as good as that of Pipi, he has dimples on his face, which is really cute." ”

Chen Pipi shivered subconsciously, hurriedly retreated behind the second senior brother, poked his head out and shouted: "Seventh senior sister, don't think too beautifully, this last level is not so easy, I bet Longqing will definitely climb up first." ”

Senior Sister Embroidery smiled and revealed his true thoughts: "If it is really Long Qing who climbs up first, you must not be disappointed and cry?"

Chen Pipi laughed twice.

"The long mountain road first tested the will, compared the understanding, tried the realm, and looked at the heart in the fog, and finally this stubborn stone, what I saw was just a choice, whether it was for Longqing or Ning Que, the difficulty would not be too great. ”

The second senior brother said slowly: "It is precisely because it is not very difficult, after all, the contest is still decisiveness, Longqing has been soaking in the sewage of the altar of the temple ruling division for many years, and his face has not changed since he killed women and children, probably he should make a choice faster." ”

A gust of mountain breeze blew by, the tops of the big green trees rattled, the long grass gradually fell, and the silver night clouds at the foot of the cliff were disturbed.

Standing on the edge of the cliff in the distance, Yu Curtain looked back at the sea of clouds, his eyebrows slightly frowned.

Huo Ran, the second senior brother under the big green tree, stood up, his expression suddenly became extremely solemn, he quietly looked at the boulder on the side of the cliff, and muttered after being silent for a long time: "What a strong Haoran sword intent...... Did the teacher change the last level?"

"Why are you again? You've died twice and lived twice, do you have to die again? I really don't understand, what do you want to do when you keep popping out of my head, you want to remind me not to forget your villagers who were slaughtered by Xiahou? or to remind me not to forget how miserable you died? Don't worry, I really haven't forgotten the things you left behind, but how can Xiahou be so easy to kill? You hurry up and get out of the way, I have to run faster than that Prince Longqing, and when I enter the second floor of the academy and become the master's favorite good student, I will learn the most amazing exercises in the mountains behind the academy, who do you want me to kill, just give me a dream and I will kill it. You're trying to test your sword skills for me, aren't you?

Ning Que looked at the gray wall in the rain in front of him, looked at the friend under the wall who was dying, but had a strange smile on his face, sighed helplessly, reached out and grabbed a knife from the void, and directly cut him and the wall into nothingness.

"Look, it's still like this, and the people in the mountains behind this academy are too, can't you get something new?"

He didn't put the knife into the sheath, but carried the long-handled Pu knife to his shoulder and walked towards the top of the boulder, anyway, he might continue to cut people later, such as his father and mother who he hadn't seen for a long time, and he hadn't even seen him in his dreams for a long time, and maybe even Sangsang's girl, anyway, he has now determined that these are all fake, so there is no psychological barrier.

Suddenly, his footsteps stopped.

He looked at the two expressionless faces in front of him expressionlessly, and said expressionlessly, "You guys are finally here?"

Prince Longqing was very frightened, and in the face of this fear, he didn't know what to choose.

His most beloved woman was falling under a clump of flowers, and her bloody eyes did not look at her begonias flowers, but stared at herself infatuatedly. And he couldn't look at her, he had to look at her.

On the previous mountain path, he had proudly thought that except for Haotian, there was no person or thing in this world that could make him feel fearful, but at this moment, looking at the woman bathed in the holy glow in front of him, and looking at the bright red fluffy coat beside her, he knew that he had been unable to hide his fear of this woman in his heart.

The whole world was filled with the glow of holiness, so bright that it was impossible to see the woman's face, only the fluffy red skirt, only her puffed red sleeves, and only the bright red flowers on her temples.

The woman was covered in red gauze and red dress, very bright, cute, and terrifying, she smiled and said: "Longqing, I heard that you want to enter the second floor of the academy, do you think that if you enter the second floor of the academy, you will be able to defeat me?"

Prince Longqing bowed respectfully and said, "Longqing doesn't dare." ”

Lu Chenjia, the who was lying in the flowers behind him, had more blood and tears flowing from his eyes.

"You really don't dare?" asked the woman who was bathed in divine radiance and repeated indifferently.

Prince Longqing slowly raised his head, stared directly into the jewel-like eyes in Shenhui, and was silent for a long time, just as he was about to make the bravest decision for the first time in his life, he saw a silhouette.

It was a silhouette that belonged to a man, and that man stood silently behind the woman, as if he would not say a word for countless years...... Shenhui swept past his cheeks, blowing a wind like jewels, as if Haotian was silently appreciating.

Prince Longqing stared at the wooden sword on the man's shoulder, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

He made his decision without hesitation, turned around and walked to the flower tree, drew the sword at his waist and slowly stabbed it into the chest of the beloved woman.

When the sword blade sank into her chest inch by inch, Lu Chenjia kept looking at her beloved man quietly, as if she didn't feel the slightest pain, her eyes no longer flowed bloody tears, and there was no resentment in her eyes, only calm and pity.

Prince Longqing slowly lowered his head, looked at his chest, and found that a transparent hole appeared there at some point.

Those two faces, one is extremely old, and the other is extremely immature.

Ning Que looked at the old steward, looking at Jing Dagger's playmate, and said after being silent for a long time: "It turns out that even you still need to kill again, I think there seems to be something wrong, that is, because you didn't show up、......

He took the long simple knife off his back, and grasped the hilt with both hands, but he did not swing it immediately, for he found that the place where he stood had turned from the narrow stone steps on the boulder to black and yellow dirt.

On the wasteland, countless people looked up at the sky, the boundless darkness on the other side of the sky was spreading, people's faces were full of despair and horror, the world was gray, only a few rays of light appeared somewhere behind the clouds.

Not all of them were looking up at the sky, at least the old steward and childhood friend in front of him did not look at the sky, but just looked at him with a blank face, and wherever he went, they followed in silence, their eyes forever on his face.

Ning Que pointed to the sky and said to the old steward: "The last time I dreamed, there seemed to be a door of light, I don't know why today, I didn't continue to follow that dream, is it because of your relationship?"

Then he looked down at his childhood friend, who was only half as tall as himself, and said with a smile: "At that time, in that light gate, there was a particularly huge, golden dragon head sticking out, in fact, the picture is very **, just like the turtles we saw when we went to the Ten Thousand Wild Goose Pagoda when we were children, but the 10,000 turtles put their heads together and turned into a dragon head." ”

There was still no expression on the faces of the old housekeeper and his childhood friend.

"Since it's a dream, it's naturally all fake. ”

"If it's fake, it's not a story that has already happened. ””

Since it's not a story, of course there's no continuity. ”

A tall man appeared in the wasteland, his gray hair draped haphazardly over his shoulders.

This was not the first time Ning Que had seen this tall man, he walked over, wanting to see what the other party looked like, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see the other party's face, in fact, he didn't even feel the other party turn his body at all. When he circled around the tall man, the old housekeeper and his childhood friends still followed him and circled with him, which seemed a little funny and a little indescribable sadness.

The tall man stretched out his hand to the darkness that was taking over the entire night dome and said, "Look, it's really getting dark. ”

Ning Que looked up and said, "I saw it." ”

The tall man pointed to the light behind the clouds and said, "But there is still light there, so between light and darkness, which side will you choose?"

Ning Que replied without hesitation: "Why should I choose." ”

The tall man did not answer the question, snatched the sac from the drunkard beside him and drank it down, but took the piece of the pig's hind leg from the butcher's back, squatted on the ground and began to eat, and the oil dripping down his beard could be seen from the side.

"Why did you kill the woman you love?"

"Because of the right path, we can keep the heart of the way. ”

"Is what I say the right way?"

"Yes, because you represent the will of Haotian. ”

Prince Longqing walked in the holy radiance, following the woman in the red dress, in the past long years, he followed her to kill many people, with the departure of those lives, his mood became more and more calm, no longer the previous superficial impassivity, but to achieve the ultimate calm.

The woman in the red dress in Shenhui suddenly turned around and said calmly, "If Haotian said that you should kill me, what would you choose?"

Prince Longqing had a natural fear of her, and he was even more afraid of the wooden sword man who stood behind her in silence forever, but after hearing these words, he only thought silently for a very short period of time, and then raised the sword in his hand and stabbed it.

The tip of the sword pierced through the body of the woman in the red dress, and the blood was dripping down.

The woman in the red dress looked at him appreciatively and said, "Long'er, now your heart has really become very strong. ”

Prince Longqing pointed to the transparent hole in his chest, and said expressionlessly: "Look, I don't have a heart anymore." ”

On the wasteland, the tall man turned his back to Ning Que and asked, "How did you choose before?"

Ning Que replied very strictly: "I am in the darkness, and my heart is towards the light. ”

The tall man laughed, leaned back and closed his smile, raised his sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes, and said happily: "I didn't expect that after so many years, I could see a weed swaying in the wind on the wall." ”

Ning Que also laughed happily and said, "Look, I just said that you don't have to choose.

The tall man gradually suppressed his laughter, looked at the wild clouds rolling in the sky, and suddenly asked, "But what if the sky falls?"

"How could the sky fall?"

"What if?"

"Naturally, there is a tall man on top of it...... Like you. ”

"What if the tall man can't stop it?"

"Then run away?"

"The sky is falling, where can you escape?"

"Isn't this just imagining what ifs? How can there be so many ifs in the world?"

"Since it's just an idea, what are you afraid of if you just answer casually?"

Ning Que looked at the tall man's back in a daze, although the other party said that he just wanted to hear him answer casually, but he didn't know why, he felt that he couldn't answer casually, he looked at the darkening sky, and suddenly felt extremely frightened.

The temperature in the wasteland suddenly dropped, and his clothes were stained with a faint layer of frost.

The tall man sighed and said, "Why don't we go back to the choice we made at the beginning?"

Even the heart is gone, naturally there will be no more fear, the prince of Longqing took the place of the woman in the red dress, bathed in the holy divine radiance, walked in the world with the great will of Haotian, and expelled and destroyed the darkness everywhere.

One day, as he walked to the middle of a desert made of gold gravel, the man who had stood silently behind the woman in the red dress for countless years finally appeared, the wooden sword behind him trembling slightly in the scorching golden wind.

Prince Longqing looked at the other party expressionless and said: "Since I made the first choice, my fate has been closely tied to Haotian, even if you are the most powerful person in the world, it is impossible for you to defeat Haotian." ”

A gust of wind swept up the gold gravel in the desert, and the wooden sword pierced the chest of Prince Longqing.

Prince Longqing looked down at the transparent hole in his chest.

The wooden sword, which seemed to be able to pierce the world, had just passed through the hole in his chest, and it did not cause the slightest damage to his body.

A golden flower grew from the transparent hole in Prince Longqing's chest, instantly melting the wooden sword.

He raised his head, looked at the silhouette of the man who was gradually fading in the golden wind, and said, "Look, this is our truth. ”

With that, he turned and left.

The most feared enemies in life have died one by one, the prince of Longqing proudly walks on the desert composed of gold and gravel, although he has no heart, but he is still proud, he knows that from now on in the bright world of Haotian, he will be the most powerful and invincible person, all the darkness to see his own brilliance will be far away.

No, all darkness must be torn apart and annihilated.

I don't know how many years have passed, all the darkness in the world has been annihilated by him, and there are no enemies or sins around him, only the purest light, the boundless light that envelops the wilderness.

By this time, the golden flower on his chest had become so huge that it was about to cover his face, and even with his Apocalypse realm, he felt that the weight was a little difficult to bear, but he couldn't take this golden flower off.

Suddenly, a distant voice sounded from the depths of his heart.

He didn't know who the voice belonged to, but he knew that what it said was true.

"Absolute light is absolute darkness. ”

Prince Longqing was silent for a long time, and then he pressed his hand on the incomparably large golden flower on his chest, and the huge golden flower quickly shrank into a golden sword.

He let out a groaning groan, struggled to pull the golden sword out of his chest, and looked around.

Vaguely, he faintly saw a few ethereal faces floating in the sky.

It was the man with the wooden sword on his back.

It was the woman in the red dress.

It is a beloved woman who fell under the flower tree.

Three ethereal faces looked at him indifferently, as if they wanted to see what choice he would make.

There is light everywhere and darkness everywhere.

Take a step forward and go into the light to continue your fight, but that is the light......

Prince Longqing stood trembling in the golden desert, his expression twisted in pain, and his whole body was soaked with sweat.

He looked down at his left hand, at the emerald green piece of bamboo, which seemed to be the source of life.

All of a sudden, the people in the wasteland disappeared a lot.

Ning Que looked at the familiar face of the old butler in front of him, then squatted down to stare at the face of his childhood playmate, and after looking at it for a long time, he suddenly raised his head and shouted at the tall man dissatisfiedly: "I still don't understand why I have to make a choice." ”

The tall man turned his back to him and said, "It's just a casual discussion, why are you so strict." ”

Ning Que stood up, the frost on his body fell, and said, "I don't choose." ”

The tall man replied, "Sometimes there are always things that are worth sacrificing, and sacrifice is a choice. ”

Ning Que shook his head and said, "I haven't done anything wrong, why should I sacrifice?"

The tall man was surprised and asked, "Don't you have any people or things that you are willing to sacrifice for?"

Ning Que frowned and thought for a long time, then replied hesitantly, "It doesn't seem to be." ”

"But you made a choice a long time ago," said the tall man. ”

Ning Que looked at the old housekeeper and childhood friend beside him and said, "That's sacrificing others. ”

"Sacrificing others is also an option. ”

Yu Que admitted: "Yes. ”

The tall man put the remaining half of the pig's hind leg back on the butcher's back and said, "Then you can choose again." ”

Night is still night.

The temperature is still decreasing little by little.

Ning Que looked at the approaching darkness with amazement, but Huo Ran looked back at the place behind the clouds where the light suddenly shone, feeling the endless coercion coming from inside, his body was occupied by an unprecedented fear, and the frost on his clothes gradually condensed into armor.

He didn't know which direction to choose.

He stood alone between heaven and earth, looking so small.

The old steward and his childhood friend stood in front of him, their eyes touching each other's eyes through the transparent ice chips.

He clenched the emerald green bamboo in his hand.

On the front lawn of the academy, everyone was silently waiting for the final result of the mountaineering, and at this time, no one would talk about the academy student named Ning Que in a mocking tone, because he had already proved himself with facts.

The sound of hooves like a shower broke the oppressive silence of the academy, Yan Se walked down with Sang Sang expressionless, and those who knew his identity were suddenly startled, and they all got up to greet the most powerful worship of Haotian South Gate, that is, he also had his own exclusive seat above the Xiling Temple, and his status was far above Mo Li, the vice president of the Heavenly Oracle Academy, who dared to slack off in the slightest.

The academy faculty and students also guessed the identity of this obscene veteran, and looked at the whispers over there in amazement, not knowing why it was so late at night, and it was the critical moment to climb the second floor, this big man would suddenly come to the academy.

Including Prince Li Peiyan and Princess Li Yu, no one knew the purpose of Yan Se's trip. Of course, Yan Se would not be stupid enough to explain the reason to everyone, and as soon as the silence and the people who deserved his salute were finished, he sat down in silence, closed his eyes and began to recuperate, his thin palms brushed on the back of the chair from time to time, showing a little nervousness.

Although everyone was curious about why this high-ranking rune master came, since he didn't say it, naturally no one was convenient to ask, and after a short silence, someone began to whisper about the movement on the top of the mountain again.

The vast majority of people were amazed that Ning Que had hidden such a powerful strength, but they still firmly believed that it would be Prince Longqing who could win the final victory and successfully enter the second floor of the academy.

Yan Se's realm as a rune master is so subtle, no matter how slight the voice of the discussion is, he can hear it clearly, thinking that Ning Que's kid really wants to enter the second floor, and even only one step away from really wanting to enter the second floor, so wouldn't the heir who he has been looking for for half his life want to become a mirror and a shadow, and his mood can't help but be extremely bad.

At this moment, Mo Li said indifferently: "I, Xiling Yimai, never thought that the prince would lose to anyone. ”

"I know a little bit about Ning Que, if you want to say something, there is indeed a certain level, but if you want a two-story building......" Yan Se slapped the case a few times and shouted: "That's impossible!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and they all thought to themselves that the south gate of Haotian of the Tang Dynasty had always been separated from the Xiling Temple, and it could even be said that the vest was detached from morality, why did Yan Se actually stand on the side of the Xiling Temple tonight before such an important matter?

Where did Yan Se think that his sincere words would cause many speculations, and he pulled his beard angrily, refusing to express any more opinions, Prince Li Peiyan looked at the old Taoist beside him, frowned and thought, could it be that the imperial brother knew in the palace that there was a variable of Ning Que in the opening of the second floor today, so he specially sent Yan Se over to show his attitude?

At this moment, another carriage drove in, and the people who got out of it caused a lot of discussion.

Li Yu looked at the kind eunuch in charge, frowned and asked, "Old Lin Tou, what are you doing here?"

The deputy chief eunuch of the Tang Palace smiled humbly and said, "Your Highness, the servant came to take a look at the order of His Majesty. ”

Li Yu beckoned him to step forward, and asked in a low voice, "What kind of mystery is this?"

Gonggong Lin lowered his eyebrows and said softly: "Your Majesty wants to see someone, so let the servants wait here." ”

"Who does Father want to see?" Li Yu asked in surprise.

Gonggong Lin smiled and said, "An academy student named Ning Que. ”

After saying this, Gonggong Lin saw Yan Se sitting next to him, his expression suddenly turned cold, and said, "Master Yan doesn't know why you are here?"

Yan Se glared at him angrily and said, "Where am I going, I need to report to you?"

Lin Gonggong smiled and said: "The slave is just a eunuch, how can he be qualified to take care of where a rune master goes?" It's just that His Majesty has something to bring to you, His Majesty said, the National Teacher deceived him of hundreds of taels of silver by fortune telling outside the Xiangfang more than ten years ago, and now His Majesty admires the talent, the National Teacher actually dares to conceal it and not report it, and His Majesty is waiting for your South Gate to make an explanation. ”

Yan Se was stunned when he heard this, and then he was shocked, thinking in his heart, could it be that His Majesty also knew Ning Que's ability, and wanted to grab the apprentice with himself? How can this be good, now it is possible to compete with the academy, which has already made him extremely difficult, does he have to fight with the Tang Dynasty Emperor for another round? The junior brother said casually, can this casual still include His Majesty?

Everyone in the audience looked at these two big men who suddenly arrived intentionally or unintentionally, Yan Se Divine Rune Master naturally didn't need to mention it again, that Gonggong Lin was the most trusted eunuch in charge of His Majesty, and he actually came here with His Majesty's will at this time, what did he mean?

Sang Sang followed Yan Se into the academy, no one noticed her at all, and at some point she left the front lawn and quietly walked down the alley between the academy buildings, towards the rear.

She walked through the wetland, walked past the old academy where the lights were turned off, walked through the dense woods, walked through the meadows that were rarely visited, and looked at the scenery of the academy...... The face contrasted with Ning Que's weekday story, and his mood was calm and warm.

Finally walked into the sword forest, she held on to the smooth trunk, looked up at the willow leaves and looked at the treetops with a few strands of sparse leaves hanging at a very high place, and then chose a slightly cleaner ground and sat down, holding a big black umbrella in her arms, looking up at the top of the mountain.

The clouds and mist in the mountains were still extremely thick, and it was impossible to see the top of the mountain at all, but Zasang leaned against the trunk of the tree, holding the big black umbrella and watched quietly like this, because she knew that the young master was at the top of the mountain at this time, and was experiencing the most critical test.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in from outside the sword forest, bringing up countless grass clippings and gravel, hitting the trunks of the trees and crackling, and even lifting the bark of the trees.

Outside the dirty and old black umbrella, the wind continued to rage around the sword forest, and the stone gravel hit the umbrella like an arrow, making a loud sound, like a war drum, which was as exciting and tragic as a war drum.

In the midst of the fierce wind, more than a dozen trees in the Sword Forest were uprooted and flew into the deep night sky with dirt.

Like a dozen awe-inspiring swords stabbing into the night sky.

Splashed with jet-black blood.

On the Ten Thousand Wild Goose Pagoda in Chang'an City.

National teacher Li Qingshan looked at the Huangyang monk and said with a smile: "There is a monk from the west today......

The Huang Yang monk smiled and said: "The love monk is enlightened, it will not make you so happy, you look very good today, can you tell me why this is?"

Li Qingshan stood up, flicked his sleeves and said with emotion: "After tonight, there will be one more young genius in my Haotian South Gate, and in more than ten years, there will be one more Divine Rune Master in my South Gate, you say this matter is worth joy?"

The Huangyang monk clasped his hands together and exclaimed sincerely: "This is really gratifying. ”

Suddenly, Li Qingshan's complexion changed suddenly, and he walked quickly to the side of the tower, looking at the quiet night sky in the south, his right hand hanging outside his sleeve trembled, and his fingertips kept bending and stretching.

The Huangyang monk walked up to him, looked over there in confusion, and said, "Why did the opening of the second floor make such a big disturbance this time?"

Li Qingshan stiffened like wood, and said with a gloomy expression: "I can't grab it...... Master, it's really several stories high. ”

The fierce wind that swept through the sword forest in the academy was confined to a very small range, and it was extremely miraculous that it did not affect the surrounding environment, except for the second senior brother on the top of the mountain, the rune master Yan Se on the front floor, only the great cultivators such as the national teacher Li Qingshan and the Huangyang monk who had already entered the upper realm of knowing fate could sense it.

The people in Chang'an City didn't know about it, and the night was deep at this time, and most of them had already fallen asleep. A few traces of blood stains gradually appeared on the gray wall of Lin47 Lane, the sewage in the sewers of the Chunfeng Pavilion that had just been repaired suddenly glowed with a blood-red luster, and the backyards of the small buildings near the lake and the blacksmith shop in Dongcheng, the ruined stone lions outside the former general's mansion and the firewood room of Zeng Jing's scholar's mansion, those blood stains that had been going on for years gradually appeared, and then quickly disappeared.

Before the boundless light was suppressed, the prince of Longqing crushed the emerald green bamboo, and then he looked up with an expressionless face, and found that he was indeed still standing on the top of the mountain behind the academy, standing under the boulder on the cliffside, and had never stepped on the stone path at all.

The night breeze blew through his clothes, quickly blowing away the sweat, and he was silent for a long time, took a few steps back in the direction of the lawn, and then looked up again at the top of the boulder on the cliffside, and saw that there was no sign of anyone there.

On the cold wasteland, Ning Que seemed to feel something, he said to the tall man with an expressionless face, to the steward and childhood friend in front of him, and to the light and darkness in the sky: "You all know that this choice is not difficult for me. ”

As he spoke, the ice on his lips snapped and fell. He blinked, and the transparent ice that obscured his vision burst inch by inch. He raised his right hand, and more frost armor clattered off his shirt.

Then he threw away the emerald green bamboo chopsticks in his hand, re-grasped the long knife, and waved it calmly.

After many years, he once again killed the old butler and childhood friend in front of him.

"My umbrella is black. ”

"Her face was dark. ”

"Growing up, everything I did was black. ”

"But that doesn't mean I think I'm wrong. ”

Since I am not wrong, I don't need to admit my mistakes, let alone atone. ”

Ning Que looked at the brighter and brighter light behind the clouds, and was under the pressure of the increasingly powerful place, and said, "Even if you think I'm wrong, I don't care, because what does your idea matter to me?"

He threw up at his feet. Spit, carrying the long knife to his shoulder, he walked towards the night on the other side of the wasteland without hesitation.

The tall man looked at his back and was silent.

When you walk into the night, you walk into the starlight.

Ning Que stood on the boulder by the cliff, standing at the highest point of the mountain behind the academy, calmly looking at the scenery in front of him, the starlight sprinkled by the stars on the night dome, falling on the slowly flowing clouds in the air under his feet, shining around him as if it were day.

Although it was still late at night.

He glanced back at Prince Longqing, who was standing far away under the stone, didn't say anything, turned around and continued to look obsessively at the 10,000-year-old starlight and cliff in front of him, the starlight and flowing clouds in an instant.

Only when you reach the top can you see the beautiful scenery.

"The world is flat. ”

He looked up into the distance, only to see the edge of the world under the stars, and faintly could see the peak of the mountain range breaking through the clouds, I don't know if it was Min Mountain or what mountain.

Seventeen years of displacement, life and death, finally ushered in this moment, how can you not have a lot of thoughts.

In an instant, Ning Que remembered a lot of the past, remembered a lot of years that had been repeated on the mountain road, but this was so emotional, and when he finally said it, it only gathered into the most sincere and simple sentence.

Looking at the indescribable scenery, Ning Que laughed, his body trembled, tears flowed from laughter, and his laughing voice trembled a little, and then he wiped away his tears and snot, and said seriously: "*** is beautiful." ”
