Volume 6 Suddenly Chapter 89 The Town, the Butcher Shop and the Knife
There was a middle-aged Taoist man on the side of the chariot. He was wearing an ordinary Taoist robe, with an ordinary look and his expression was normal, and he could not see any specialness. Naturally, no one knew his true identity.
Now in the Xiling Temple coalition camp, there are more than a hundred red-clothed priests who secretly sneaked from Taoshan, the most powerful force of the Taoshan Sect, all of which are concentrated here, not in Taoshan Temple.
Such terrifying power was not only Ye Hongyu and Mo Shanshan, but also Ning Que... When the golden tent was destroyed and the news of Ada and the tragic death of the national master reached Taoshan, the Taoist sect began to prepare.
A few days ago, the news that Ning Que killed Hengmu in Qinghe also spread here. This fact made the most powerful people in the Xiling Temple silent for a long time.
According to Ning Que's speed of running around thousands of miles to kill, he should not be much slower than the news. The headmaster, **hai and the middle-aged Taoist began to prepare for the final battle in silence.
Even if Ye Hongyu formed a tacit understanding between Mo Shanshan and Ning Que, the Xiling Temple felt that they could achieve their goals in one battle because they had been preparing for a long time.
To their surprise, Ye Hongyu did not come to attack, and Ning Que did not come either. If Ye Hongyu was sensitive to combat, she had chosen to wait and see in her intuition, then what about Ning Que? Where did he go?
Ning Que didn't go anywhere.
Just like the words he told the military and civilians of Southern Jin that day when he looked at Jiange, he stayed in Southern Jin for a long time, so naturally he stayed not for tourism. He also killed many people by the way.
Those who surrender will not be killed.
Those who do not surrender will be killed.
Surrendering is not surrendering to the Tang Dynasty, but to the old people of Jiange.
These are three sentences Ning Que told all the people of Southern Jin.
When the Xiling Temple was about to welcome him to go south, he stayed in the second most powerful country in the world, began his own proclamation, and showed his coldness.
He killed people in Panshan County, in Linkang City, in the alley, in the palace, the newly established emperor in the Xiling Temple was killed by him, the prime minister was killed by him, and many people
Killed by him.
Just in the silent and suffocating waiting on the banks of the river and the cold-blooded and cruel killing of Southern Jin, time passed slowly and unstoppable. The world entered the midsummer, and a cool bureau, Ning Que disappeared without a trace again.
What he left behind were those few words, bloody debts, and the Southern Jin Dynasty that was in chaos.
The Datang Zhennan Army and the Yulin Army had already restored the river. After the old clans were cleared, they would continue to move south after a little rest. Where can the Southern Jin Dynasty resist?
He really determined the trend of a national war in advance with his own strength. Why? Because he can kill people and is good at killing people. In the past, Ke Haoran could kill people like this in the academy, but it was too long and it had already been
It is gradually forgotten by the world, and what he is doing now is to remind people of it again.
He entered Weicheng, the Jin tent died, passed Daze, and the Southern Jin dynasty died. Now he disappeared again. I wonder which country he went to and which country was about to perish?
...
...
The midsummer is gradually fading, and the scorching heat is still there. The Xiling Temple prepared for Ning Que on the banks of the river, but never waited for Ning Que to appear, and he did not expect that he suddenly appeared near the Xiling Temple at this time.
The first Xiling Temple refers to the Taoist Gate, and the second Xiling Temple refers to the location, which are the solemn Taoist temples on the top of Taoshan Peak. From the small town, you can see that sacred place.
The big dark horse came to the Kingdom of Gods in Xiling and walked silently in the town in front of Taoshan. Compared with the sacred Taoist temple among the mountains in the distance, the town was quiet and secular, forming a sharp contrast.
Ning Queben was going to buy some roasted sweet potatoes, but when he entered the town, he suddenly changed his mind. He thought for a while, turned over and got off the horse, and led the reins to a simple shop in the east of the town.
Dismounting and walking is a sign of respect. Now no one in the Xiling Temple deserves his respect, but the people in that shop deserve it. Although he does not understand that person's character, it is worth it with the word "time".
It was a butcher shop, the only butcher shop in the town. Just like the town where the border between Song and Yan countries was only one butcher shop. There was only one butcher shop everywhere that person was there.
.
The evening heat is still hot and hard to bear. The town is like being caged in a steamer. It is taken continuously by Gaga and is taken with the big dark horse in the wasteland. Even though its physique has been transformed to be extremely special, it is still a little unbearable.
He gasped hard, and even Ning Que unbuttoned the collar in front of the hospital.
The butcher shop was extremely stuffy. The space surrounded by the smell of blood and boiling water pot was full of the nose-covering breath and unbearable high temperature. The strong middle-aged man was still wearing a leather apron and standing.
He kept waving the heavy knife in front of the thick chopping board, and there was no drop of sweat on his bronze body.
The blade fell, and what was splashed was the snowflakes formed by the spill of blood and fat.
Ning Que stood outside the threshold of the butcher shop, looked at the butcher behind the chopping board and said, "Hello."
The butcher did not look up at him, but continued to chop the flesh and said, "Overall."
Ning Que was silent for a while and asked, "Have you seen her?"
The butcher stopped chopping meat, took a piece of cloth from the rope, wiped his face randomly, and wiped his hands again.
Ning Que continued: "I beat her for a long time, but I haven't found her."
The butcher threw the wet cloth on the butcher knife casually, looked at him and said, "You are not as fast as the three of them, so naturally you are not as fast as the three of them."
There are two fast words in a sentence. The first fast word refers to speed, and the next one refers to the time to find her.
Ning Que thought about it, nodded politely, and said, "Thank you, then I'll leave first."
The butcher reached out and held the handle of the knife through the wet cloth, so that his hands would not slip.
"where are you going?"
"I'll go and continue looking for her."
"You need to kill someone when you find her?"
"I thought even if I couldn't find her, at least I could force the audience back."
"You have killed tens of thousands of people, and Chen has not appeared, so why should you continue to kill?"
Ning Que raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the butcher and said, "I thought that people who have experienced eternal night like you and the drunkard would not care about the things we are doing now. Didn't we?"
Eternal Night is the most tragic story in the world, with countless miserable scenes. The butcher has experienced, seen, suffered, and feared. Naturally, he will not care about the things Ning Que and Taoist sect did.
He said, "I just have some things and I have always wanted to ask your academy."
Ning Que turned around and looked at him, looked at him for a long time, and said, "Have you asked before?"
The butcher said, "I can't beat Master and Ke Haoran."
The meaning hidden in this sentence is very clear.
His question must not be a good question. He couldn't beat it before, so there was no answer. Now the next generation of the academy is not his opponent, so he wants to get the answer he wants.
Ning Que's expression became more peaceful and even seemed a little proud. He said, "You ask."
Starting from these few conversations, he no longer represents himself - the ordinary man in the world who is looking for his wife - but the representative of the academy, so he must be calmer and more confident.
The butcher raised the knife on the chopping board and stood in front of him.
With this action, Ning Que felt that the threshold of the butcher shop seemed to rise a little with the ground.
The seemingly ordinary, thick and greasy butcher knife seemed as heavy as a mountain.
"The Master always says politeness, and the academy always says it is the world. Even if Ke Haoran killed so many people back then, he still feels like this. He feels that he has never been wrong. Even if he kills people, he is also killed for the world, just like what the academy does with you now
The same thing is, is it also for the sake of the human world?"
The butcher looked at him and said, "Save the people? The drunkard and I don't have such a grand wish, but why should your teacher use this wish to judge our right? Why is the things you do in your academy right? Only by following your way
Save is salvation? Why do people want you to save?"
Ning Que looked at him quietly and said, "There is a saying that if you don't ask ghosts and gods, who is correct, or only time can prove it, but at least what we see in our eyes and hear in our ears, Tang Guo
It has been proven in a thousand years that what the teacher does is at least relatively correct."
"That's because his fist is the biggest."
The butcher said expressionlessly: "The fist is very reasonable, is the academy like this?"
Ning Que thought of his junior uncle, his third senior sister and himself, and was silent for a long time. Then he thought of his teacher, his eldest senior brother and his second senior brother, and sorted out the things he had already figured out more clearly again.
"You are not talking about the academy, nor the Tang Kingdom."
He looked at the butcher and said, "The academies are a gentleman's land, and the Tang Dynasty is a gentleman's country, but I am not. A gentleman can deceive him. I don't want to be a gentleman. I would rather suffer forever than try to realize the teacher's wish."
The butcher said, "What are the benefits for you to let your soul walk in the underworld?"
Ning Que looked at him and said seriously: "Freedom... Although this word can easily make people feel greasy now, just like the knife in your hand, it is really boring to have no freedom."
The butcher said, "...even if it is an unknown danger?"
Ning Que said: "You should vaguely guess my origin, then you should know that my words are correct. I have seen that the real one should be like that."
The butcher was silent for a long time, and then said, "There is the underworld."
"If you insist that the real world is the underworld," Ning Que said.
The butcher looked at him and said, "In the past, Taoist sect said that you were the son of the Hades. In fact, that was wrong, but in fact it was also right, because you would bring this world into the underworld."
Ning Que was silent for a long time, thinking about the change of identity over the years, thinking about the stories and escapes from the past, feeling a little ridiculous and sentimental.
He said: "It seems that's true."
The butcher said, "Why do you need to enter the underworld?"
Ning Que said, "Why not?"
The butcher said, "It's cold there."
Ning Que said: "But it's also very big."
After saying this, the inside and outside of the butcher shop became quiet. Because it was too quiet, it was dead silent. The dead pig in the shop stared at the two people with his eyes wide open, and the sheep's heads in the boiling pot also squinted at them. .
They have their own ideas and no consensus, so they have the intention to die.
