Chapter 220: Three years later, see you in Xiling
Hundreds of Tang Yulin soldiers and the temple guards, the guards were around the gods, their expressions were solemn, and their eyes were vigilantly looking around among the petals in the sky.
There are no remnants of the Demon Sect in Chang'an City, and there are no fanatics, where the Heavenly Oracle Divine Throne passes, attracting countless people to watch, there are such devout women and old men kneeling beside the road, and the people standing also bow respectfully, not daring to look directly at the old man behind the veil on the god's chariot.
Shen Yuan entered the 47th lane, and then stopped in front of the old pen zhai, causing the crowded people in the streets and alleys to discuss, so that they did not envy the owner of the shop, they sighed with emotion about the arrival of the Heavenly Oracle Throne, but they did not know that another Xiling chief priest had worked in the shop for a long time last year.
The Yulin Army set up a cordon at the entrance of the alley and invited the crowd outside, and the temple guards vigilantly occupied several key places at the entrance of the old bizhai shop, the veil was lifted, and the great priest of the Heavenly Oracle slowly walked down the chariot.
Ning Que and Sang Sang stood at the door of Lao Bizhai to greet each other, with a respectful attitude.
There are only two people who walked into Lao Bizhai, the Great Priest of Heaven and Cheng Lixue.
After Ning Que respectfully invited the great priest to sit down, he wanted to ask Sang Sang to make tea, but suddenly thought that Cheng Lixue had said that this was a great disrespect to Xiling and Daomen, so he did it himself.
Four cups of tea were quietly on the table, and the hot mist slowly dissipated.
The Great Priest of Heaven looked like an ordinary old man, with deep wrinkles on his face like mountains and rivers, and only the gorgeous robe showed his noble status.
Ning Que had seen many big names, but it was the first time he had talked to a big man as noble as the Heavenly Oracle Great Divine Palace, and he couldn't help but be a little nervous, and he didn't know how to speak.
Sang Sang was also a little nervous, although Ning Que explained the inheritance law of the Great Priest of Light last night, but Ting still couldn't understand why the temple had to take him back since the teacher had betrayed the Xiling Temple.
The Great Divine Palace of Heaven looked at the master and servant calmly, and suddenly smiled slightly, as the smile bloomed, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became more and more profound, and the slightly sunken vicissitudes of life suddenly calmed down, quiet and did not know the depths, just like an old well in a dry mountain made of stubborn stones.
Facing the gaze of the Great Priest of the Heavenly Oracle, Ning Que suddenly felt that the clothes on his body had disappeared without a trace, and he had a feeling of **, and instinctively felt that he was being seen through by the other party.
It's not that the body is seen through, but the disguises he deliberately lays out on his soul are seen through, and even the direction of fate is seen through, and there is nothing to hide.
Ning Que suddenly became vigilant and said, "Academy Ning Que, meet Lord Shenzuo." ”
The Heavenly Oracle said, "Excuse me." ”
Ning Que sat down on the chair opposite the Great Priest.
There was silence in the old pen room, and Ning Que understood that he was now the master, and he should speak first, but he didn't know how to speak about this matter.
The hot mist oozing from the mouth of the teacup gradually dissipated, and a green tea leaf floated up from the bottom of the cup.
Ning Que's throat was a little dry, and his voice was slightly tight: "Can we think about sadness again?"
Cheng Lixue, who was standing behind the Great Priest of the Heavenly Oracle, frowned, and said unhappily: "Do you want to think again? Mr. Thirteen, don't you always delay time, okay." ”
The Great Priest of Heavenly Oracle raised his right hand and did not let Cheng Lixue continue, saying: "There are some things in Xiling, so I have to go back, before I go back, there must be a result in this matter." ”
Ning Que didn't notice what the Great Priest said in his words that something was wrong in Xiling, he was just thinking about something else, and said with a dry smile: "Lord Shenzuo is leaving, have you bought any souvenirs?"
The look on Cheng Lixue's face was ugly.
The Great Priest laughed and shook his head.
The smile gradually faded on the old face, those deep wrinkles gradually stretched, and the Heavenly Oracle Grand Priest quietly looked at Ning Que's eyes and said, "You know how important she is to the temple. ”
Sang Sang looked down at the tips of his shoes outside the hem of his skirt, and quietly moved two steps behind Ning Que, as if he was counting on him to cover himself, but he couldn't cover it after all.
The Great Priest of Heaven looked at Sangsang lovingly and said, "Because she is the heir of light. ”
Ning Que hesitated and said: "Sang Sang went to Xiling to be a great priest at a very young age, and he was on an equal footing with Lord Shenzuo, which always sounds a little inappropriate." ”
Cheng Lixue glanced at the Great Priest of the Heavenly Oracle, and explained softly: "The inheritance of the divine seat is a long process, after the senior sister Sangsang returns to Xiling, she must first study the canon, and then go to the world to cultivate, understand the joys and sorrows of the world, and then inherit the divine seat. ”
Then he went on to explain: "It is precisely because it will take a long time for Senior Sister Sangsang to ascend to the Bright Divine Throne, so the temple will be in a hurry, and it would be best to enter the training period as soon as possible. ”
Ning Que suddenly asked, "Is there a holiday?"
Cheng Lixue was slightly stunned, thinking that the temple was not an ordinary academy, where would there be such an arrangement?
However, before he could speak, the Heavenly Oracle Grand Priest smiled and said, "Yes." ”
Ning Que looked at the Great Priest of the Heavenly Oracle and continued to ask, "How long?"
The Great Priest of the Heavenly Oracle said, "Just ensure that she spends more than half of her time in Xiling Taoshan." ”
Ning Que asked again, "Can I go out of Xiling during the holidays?"
"Yes. ”
"Can I go to Xiling to see her?"
"Yes. ”
"If she becomes the Great Priest of Light, can she really get married?"
The Great Priest of the Heavenly Oracle looked at him with a smile and said, "Yes." ”
Cheng Lixue glanced at the god seat in surprise.
The question and answer between Ning Que and the Great Priest of Heaven came to an end here.
He said, "Then I don't have a problem. ”
The atmosphere in the old pen room had just relaxed a little, and Bu Ning Que then added: "But just because I have no problem doesn't mean that she doesn't have a problem, and then you need to convince her." ”
Cheng Lixue was furious and reprimanded in a deep voice: "You dare to be so rude to the Divine Throne!"
Ning Que said: "I'm not teasing the Divine Temple, but if there is any one in front of me, and Lord Divine Throne says no, then I won't allow Sang Sang to go to Xiling." Allowing her to go to Xiling now does not mean that I support her to go to Xiling, only that I support any decision she makes. ”
The Great Priest of the Heavenly Oracle didn't pay attention to the conversation between Ning Que and Cheng Lixue at all, and just looked at Sang Sang quietly.
Sang Sang lowered his head and said softly, "I don't want to go now." ”
The Great Priest of the Heavenly Oracle looked at Ning Que quietly.
Ning Que said: "I discussed with her for a long time last night, she is only fifteen years old after all, and she is still a child, I really don't worry about her leaving her side, how about going back when she becomes an adult?"
The Great Priest of the Heavenly Oracle smiled and said, "Next year?"
Ning Que shook his head and said, "Three years later." ”
The Great Priest of Heaven said: "According to the Tang law, the woman is sixteen adults.
"Tang Lu is saying that sixteen marriages do not mean adults. ”
Ning Que said: "According to my opinion, only when I am eighteen years old can I have enough life experience and wisdom to arrange my life, so I insist on going to Xiling after three years. ”
"Three years. ”
The Great Priest of the Heavenly Oracle sighed softly and looked at Sang Sang behind Ning Que.
With this glance, the wrinkles on his face became more and more profound, as if a rainstorm had fallen from the sky, washing the dry loess mountains and rivers more dangerously, his eyes became deeper and quieter, and the old well quietly hidden in the depths of the stone mountain became a few feet deeper.
Sangsang nervously awaited an answer.
Ning Que was more nervous than her.
The Great Priest of the Heavenly Oracle looked at Sang Sang with a smile and said, "Three years later, see you in Xiling." ”
After saying this sentence very suddenly, the Great Priest of the Heavenly Oracle stood up and walked out of the old pen house.
The high priest ascended to the priesthood and left under the rituals and music.
The master and servant in the old pen room were left looking at each other.
It's as simple as that?
Ning Que didn't know why the last sentence of the Great Priest was so determined.
Three years later, see you in Xiling.
Is the great priest sure that Sangsang will definitely go to Xiling in the third year?
Cheng Lixue left the old pen with the throne.
He ascended to the shrine, lifted the veil, walked to the throne and knelt down, and said in a low voice: "The disciple doesn't understand, is it really like this to go back to Xiling? ”
"Words of promise never have any power. ”
The Great Priest of Heaven took out a white silk scarf from his sleeve and gently wiped the corners of his eyes, and as the snow-like silk scarf fell, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes bloomed and dissipated like flowers.
Cheng Lixue lowered her head and said in confusion: "But since we are here, why did we leave in such a hurry?"
The Great Priest of the Heavenly Oracle looked at the white silk in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Because the thing that is about to happen in the Adjudication Division is even stricter than I imagined. ”
Cheng Lixue raised her head and said puzzledly: "But you said a few days ago that the major matter of the Ruling Division is not necessarily a bad thing for the Divine Temple, and the Heavenly Oracle is just an oracle from the heavens, and it is prevented in advance that it will act against the sky." ......
The Heavenly Oracle said: "I returned to Xiling not to stop this matter, but to ensure that after this incident happens, it can continue to develop according to the existing track. ”
Cheng Lixue's gaze fell on the silk scarf in the hand of the god seat, and his body suddenly stiffened, because he saw that there were a few blood stains on the silk scarf that was as white as snow!
Only then did he realize that the corners of Kamiza's eyes were bleeding!
"Three years later, on Momoyama, I saw the light. ”
"So in three years, she will return to Xiling. ”
The Heavenly Oracle Priest calmly continued to wipe the blood from the corners of his eyes.
Cheng Lixue was a little confused, and asked in a daze, "What else did you see?"
"You idiot, Bright is our closest companion, I just looked at her, and I almost went blind, where else can I see?"
The Great Priest of the Heavenly Oracle said with a smile.
Then he folded the white silk scarf in his hand and continued to wipe the blood from his eyes.
The white silk scarf was gradually dyed red by the drops of blood flowing from the eyes.
The deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were also stained red with blood, like a gorgeous peach blossom
More like a dry wilderness soaked in blood.
Before the Xiling delegation left Chang'an City, Ning Que went to the South Gate once, and learned from Cheng Lixue that there was indeed the shadow of the Ruling Division behind the scenes of the Sword Pavilion's move.
He began to worry more and more about Chao Xiaoshu's safety, and when he was thinking about whether to leave Chang'an and go to the Southern Jin Dynasty to find someone, he suddenly received a letter from Dahe Kingdom.
He thought it was sent by the mountains, and there was some indescribable joy.
Then he found that it had been sent to the little tree, and the disappointment was followed by joy, and the joy was anger.
"It's a good life, not to mention writing a few letters to everyone in advance, I think he's really happy to be outside, and he's so happy that he even forgot his own father!
The middle-aged man in a bright yellow robe waved his sleeves angrily and cursed.
"It is estimated that the second brother Chao met a pretty widow grinding tofu in a small mountain village, and his legs became weak, where can he be willing to come back, it is really something that only idiots can do. ......
Ning Que looked at the letter in his hand and mocked meanly.
In the secluded hall in the depths of the Tang Imperial Palace, the scolding of idiots sounded from time to time.
The Empress Niangniang and the others couldn't help but laugh when they looked at the angry expressions of His Majesty the Emperor and Ning Que.
