Chapter 64: Asking the Heavens (I)
The air after the rain is very transparent, even if the twilight or even the night comes, you can still see far away, tens of thousands of believers on the front lawn of Taoshan, looking at the figure on the mountain road at the top of the mountain, the feelings are a little complicated, the picture at this time is very similar to the scene when Ning Que climbed the mountain behind the academy many years ago.
The pitch-black night dome is like a piece of ink paper, hovering above the flat ground, with dozens of peaks in between, giving the impression that if it weren't for these peaks, the night dome would fall to the earth.
The night sky on the Xiling Temple looks a little special today, the sky is full of stars, but there is no trace of the moon, and the silver starlight is sprinkled on the foot of the mountain, making the peach mountain change color.
Ning Que's gaze crossed the silver mountain path and landed on the Temple of Light, and then he began to straighten his soaked clothes, tied his wet hair tightly, and put away his sword with a negative bow, wiping the rain off his face.
His movements were very slow, and his expression was very serious, until he confirmed that there was no problem with his clothes and manners, and then he walked up the stairs.
The night was deep, and the thin moon was hidden behind the night clouds, completely nowhere to be seen, and the numerous stars looked very bright on the dark curtain.
There are seven brightest stars in the night sky, known as the guiding stars, which are the most reliable guiding lights for fishermen to sail on the sea, and they are even brighter to make people dizzy.
Between the cliff flat and the temple of light at the top of the peak, there are a total of 700 stone steps on the mountain road, Ning Que seems to be walking slowly, but in fact, one step is a hundred stone steps, as if going up against the wind.
When his feet left the cliff and landed on the first foot, he took a step into the seven bright guiding stars in the night sky. The northernmost star suddenly dimmed.
Ning Que continued to take the second step, so the second of the seven guiding stars also dimmed, and with each step he took, one of the seven guiding stars in the night sky was dim, as if those eternal and unchanging starlight were absorbed into his body by his footsteps.
Not everyone on the front lawn could see him walking on the mountain road, but everyone saw the dimming of the seven guiding stars in the night sky, and the shouts of shock and panicked prayers suddenly sounded, and the people in charge of the sect looked at the strange changes in the stars, and their expressions were extremely solemn.
......
......
The sky is full of stars. There are several temples on Peach Mountain, but there is only one in Ning Que's eyes.
The building materials used in the Temple of Light are very unusual, neither gold, nor jade, nor stone, but they naturally reveal a sense of preciousness, and at this time, they are shrouded in starlight, which adds a bit of holiness.
Ning Que stood in front of the Temple of Light, like an inconspicuous ant.
He looked at the temple in front of him, silent, and had extremely complicated feelings in his heart. Some dreaded, some excited. Some yearn for it, but they want to escape.
He ventured out of Chang'an, came to the Xiling Divine Kingdom, and infiltrated Taoshan, just to come to the Temple of Light, to meet her in the temple, in the process, he has always been calm, but when he really came to the Temple of Light. When he was about to meet her, it was difficult to control his feelings.
No matter how he convinced himself that she in the temple was Sangsang, a black and thin girl raised by himself, and a relative whose blood was thicker than water, but in fact she was Haotian.
There is a word called the difference between heaven and earth, which is used to describe the distance between the two, and there is also a word called the separation between heaven and man. Used to describe facts that can never be touched.
He is mortal, she is Haotian, the distance between him and her is the distance between heaven and earth, and there is a high wall between him and her. The separation between heaven and man is actually eternal separation.
Ning Que's love has never been as complicated as it is today, and he has never been so frightened as he is at this time, if he wants to find a similar experience in his past life, it is actually related to her.
That time it was Sang Sang who ran away from home, he sat in the old pen and waited silently, and then searched around Chang'an City, silently in the bachelor's mansion, and scolded the sky and the earth on the shore of Yanming Lake.
It seems that nothing has changed, it is still her running away from home, it is still that he wants to find her and take her home, he is worried that he will not be able to bring her back, so he is afraid.
Ning Que suddenly became extremely angry, not knowing whether she was angry because of fear or annoyed because she was disobedient like last time, and her angry voice trembled.
"Is it fun to run away from home?"
He looked into the quiet depths of the Temple of Light and said, "The first time I was young and ignorant, what about now? You are already over twenty years old, and you are still not sensible?"
"Do you know how dirty the old pen is now? There is more dust on the table than there is in the stove! Aren't you supposed to do all these things, but what are you doing? When you get married, you should honestly wash the dishes, sweep the floor and wipe the table at home, but you can't take it anymore, you have to play everywhere, and you don't stay home all day!"
"How can there be so much fun? Look at this broken temple, it is deserted like a stone tomb, how can it be lively in Lane 47? I don't believe that Chen Kum Kee here can be better than Chang'an City!"
There was no sound coming from the Temple of Light, and Ning Que became more and more annoyed, and said, "Speak! Why don't you even dare to speak?"
"Are you really determined to divide your belongings with me? Give me the arrows and the carriage, and leave the black umbrella and the thing, and you have clearly divided these belongings, but have you gotten my consent?"
"Okay, let's not say whether I agree or not. Let's just say that this kind of thing is dividing, since you want to divide it, you will score more thoroughly, the silver ticket in the old pen house, I buried half of you in the grave, the title deed of Yanming Lake Manor, I filled in your name, and I gave the shares of the gambling house to the bachelor's house......"
His feelings suddenly became a little gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Actually, I didn't want to separate from you, the disposal of those properties is calculated according to the inheritance, since you are still alive, those disposals will naturally become invalid, how about you return the things you took away, as if these things didn't happen?"
There was still no sound in the Temple of Light.
"Give me back the big black, give me back the big black umbrella, give ...... Give it back to me yourself. ”
Ning Que said: "I believe that even if you forget many things, at least you haven't forgotten these things, otherwise you wouldn't have thought of letting the drunkard send arrows and cars to Chang'an." ”
The temple remained silent, and no one answered.
"I'm just now trying to figure out why you want to hold this festival of light at the Xiling Temple, because you want to kill Pippi, but you can't kill him, because I told you that we owe him his life. ”
Ning Que's feelings suddenly became calm, and he walked towards the temple, saying as he said, "Even if there is no apocalypse, the relationship between us has always been there. ”
"You block my perception, just like you put three layers of fat powder on your face, your face is still black, because this is innate, this is predestined. ”
The quiet temple of light echoed with his footsteps and calm, determined voice.
"You are Haotian and the King of Hades, so the relationship between you and me is something you decide, in this case, how can you unilaterally make a cut?"
