Volume 6 Suddenly Chapter 106 By the Pool (Part 1)
Ning Que didn't know how to answer this sentence. Looking at the bubble floating in front of her, thinking about the speculations he and his teacher had made on the ship, he asked with some uncertainty: "Is this what the world is like?"
Sangsang didn't answer.
The wind and snow did not subside, and the big black horse was moving very fast. It didn't take long to cross the sea of snow. Ning Que looked back and looked at the clear hoof prints on the snowy field. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Everyone who walks will leave traces. This sentence is a bit sour and nonsense, but it is a simple truth that is very necessary for what he wants to do. The most important changes that humans have made in this world are not those
Traces? Such as city walls, palaces, fields, streets and river embankments.
The same is true for this trace on the snow sea. It is also a certain part of a certain stroke of a certain word, or it is the beginning or the ending. It is just that it cannot be determined for the time being. Even Ning Que himself cannot be sure, unless he really puts it.
Write that word and let the whole world see it.
How easy is it to write that word? Looking back on the history of mankind in this world, for countless kalpas and countless years, only Master is the only one who can truly transcend the rules and reach the realm of no rules.
But there is always some preparation, even if it takes thousands of years to prepare - before the true purpose of the viewer is determined, these are probably the few things he can do now.
Looking at it now, the viewer asked Long Qing to burn Ye Su to death to help him become a saint, split the Taoist sect, and secretly aided the rise of Protestantism, all of which were aimed at making Sangsang weak. It was obvious that he wanted to harm Sangsang.
According to the academy's calculations, the method used by the temple master to deal with Sangsang was those volumes of heavenly books. It's just...
Why? If you don’t think about things like religious beliefs, the logic of this matter is difficult to be consistent. Sangsang is Haotian, why does the Taoist clan want to kill her or dare to kill her? What is the meaning?
Sangsang didn't say anything, and Ning Que didn't ask. As long as he could return home to Chang'an City, he still had a lot of time to solve the mystery and make corresponding countermeasures.
The big black horse was so fast that it turned into a black lightning in the wind and snow, and the green dog ran in the deep snow next to it. It was buried in the snow from time to time, and it looked like a blooming green lotus, but it was not slow at all.
A few days later, Ning Que and his party left the scope of the cold region and came to a coniferous forest that still had some greenness left. In the forest, he saw a lot of venison and blood that had been eaten by wild beasts and frozen into ice.
Look at the footprints of the herd and the broken trees. It must be the place where the snow wolf once stayed.
Sang Sang stretched out her right index finger and tapped the big black horse's neck. The big black horse understood what she meant and slowed down slowly to stop. She got off the horse awkwardly, holding her belly in her hands, and stretched out her hand to wave.
The green-haired dog ran over happily and jumped into her arms.
She hugged the green-haired dog and looked towards the south with an indifferent expression.
Ning Que looked at the big dog in her arms and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.
It was still snowing in the south, but Sangsang watched it for half an hour. Then he said: "Turn east, December 8."
Ning Que helped her get on the horse, gently pulled the reins, and made the big black horse change direction and head east. He didn't ask any questions during the whole process, as if he knew what she meant.
A few days later, when they arrived at a glacier, Sangsang asked the big black horse to stop again.
She looked at the sky in a certain direction, her expression still indifferent, but her eyes gradually showed irritability. Then she took out a small abacus from her arms and started dialing.
Except for using an abacus when building a house in Chang'an City, because too much money was involved and a serious sense of ritual was needed to increase confidence, Ning Que rarely saw her use an abacus and was a little surprised.
There were few traces of humans or animals in the snowfield, and it was very quiet except for the howling wind. At this time, there was a crisp crackling sound by the glacier, and Sangsang's fingers brought out afterimages on the abacus, as if playing a piano.
After a while, she stopped looking at the abacus.
Ning Que looked in front of her and saw the small wooden beads on the abacus arranged in a very regular but absolutely meaningless pattern. He couldn't understand it and asked directly: "How to get there?"
"Northwest, 33, 23." Sangsang said.
Going northwest meant retreating, but Ning Que didn't have any doubts. He lightly lifted the reins and let the big black horse go in that direction, kicking snow and ice all the way without wasting any time.
At dusk, the big black horse stopped again. Sangsang took out the abacus and started dialing the numbers again like playing the piano. After the calculation was completed, he gave a new direction, and Ning Que followed his words.
From beginning to end, he didn't ask any questions, let alone doubts, he just cooperated silently and calmly. Just like many years ago, he absolutely trusted her when it came to calculating the route.
In the next few days, this situation kept repeating. In the end, Sangsang no longer even put the abacus away in his clothes, but put it in front of the saddle. He would fiddle with it a few times from time to time, and the number of turns became more and more frequent.
She was much weaker than before. It was difficult for Tian Xin to calculate everything in the world, but when it came to calculation, she was still far beyond ordinary humans. There was no pattern in turning and retreating. In the end, even Ning Que lost his bearings.
But he knew that now it was getting farther and farther south, getting closer and closer to Chang'an City.
Sangsang and the person he didn't want to meet have yet to meet.
Ning Que's expression became more and more solemn, because he knew that everything would become more dangerous in the end, and because he found that Sangsang's spirit was getting worse and worse, and he didn't know how much longer he could continue.
Sang Sang became very tired and lethargic. She would often adjust the abacus beads and then fall asleep silently on his chest. Fortunately, she was not as weak as she had been when she was seriously ill, and she did not vomit blood.
Every time Ning Que looked at her bulging belly, he couldn't help but wonder, could she be giving birth soon?
…
…
For the next two consecutive days, we followed Tianqi Mountain southward. The snow-capped mountains drew a clear, beautiful and undulating line in the blue sky, guiding the big black horse in the direction.
Helan City was looming among the mountains, and Sangsang asked the big black horse to stop again.
This calculation took a long time. The wooden beads on the abacus kept bouncing, being pushed back to their original positions by her fingers, and then pulled out again, which looked very messy. Her movements also became a little chaotic.
Like playing the piano randomly.
The indifference on her face was replaced by irritability and finally anger.
With a snap, her hand fell on the abacus, messing up the barely formed pattern again, letting some messy hair fly around her cheeks, and said, "I'll meet you soon."
Ning Que was silent for only a short time and asked, "Is there any chance?"
Sangsang said: "No."
What he asked was the probability of the couple joining forces to defeat the viewer.
Sangsang's answer was very concise and clear, not at all.
This time Ning Que was silent for a long time and said, "Can we go around?"
Sangsang said: "No."
After hearing two consecutive denials, Ning Que had no doubt about her judgment, so he dismounted without hesitation, took the reins and headed towards the mountains, saying, "Find a way to hide it first."
Hearing this, Sangsang raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little displeased.
She is Haotian, and she is hiding because of a human being? And that human being was a dog she raised before? Of course, in fact, she has been hiding by the Snow Sea for a long time, but at that time she could keep her mind intact, and now
But it was difficult. She didn't want to appear too weak in front of Ning Que and needed his protection.
She remained silent as her hands subconsciously fell on her abdomen.
Ning Que didn't expect that at this moment, she would still think about all the things that were and were not. He took the reins and ran into the mountains quickly, and came to the edge of a cold pool surrounded by cold trees, and said, "It's right here."
You can overlook Helan City from a distance, but it is difficult to be discovered by the outside world.
Sangsang waved the sleeves sewn from animal skins, and a clear light flashed and disappeared. A breath appeared and then disappeared.
Ning Que didn't notice anything strange, but he knew that she had opened up her own world. The flat land beside the cold pool, himself and the big black horse and green-haired dog were all in this world.
It didn't take long for him to see the proof.
The snow beside the pond gradually melts, the temperature gradually rises, and green grass gradually sprouts in the mud.
Suddenly it started to snow in Tianqi Mountain.
Ning Que looked out to the outside world and felt it was magical. The wind and snow outside were furious, but here it was as warm as spring.
He thought for a while, took out his iron knife, chopped down some trees neatly, and with his inhuman strength, he built a wooden house by the pond in a very short time.
The wooden house is a bit simple, but the light woody fragrance can calm the mind.
Sangsang held her belly in her hands and watched him work quietly from the side.
"Hide in a small building and become one?"
She looked at the simple wooden house and said expressionlessly: "You know, you can't hide forever."
"Steal half a day's leisure."
Ning Que said: "How long can I hide it... Well, stop reading poems. I taught you these poems when you were a child. Besides, you need to rest now."
He helped her into the wooden house and let her lean on the soft quilt.
He lowered his head and leaned against her swollen belly, wanting to hear what was going on inside.
There was movement outside the wooden house.
The Taoist priest in Qingyi appeared opposite the cold pool.
His face was covered with wind and frost, and his clothes were covered with wind and snow. He had been searching in the world for who knows how long and in how many places.
He quietly looked across the cold pool, obviously seeing nothing, but did not leave.
Ning Que raised his head, glanced at him, then lowered his head and continued to lean on Sang Sang's abdomen, no longer paying attention to the things outside, his expression looked particularly focused.
Sang Sang ignored him, looked across Hantan, and suddenly said: "I really want to kill him."
Ning Que heard the fetal movement and was joyful. He replied: "If you can't kill him now, don't even think about it."
Sangsang said with an indifferent expression: "I want to kill him because I can't kill him."
Ning Que was startled and thought that this was indeed the truth.
If before, she would just kill whoever she wanted to kill, why would she need to think about it?
He sat up, held her in his arms, and looked at the viewer across the cold pool, silent and speechless, as if looking at the false world in the mirror, like watching a play or a painting.
It seems absurd, interesting, and peaceful, but in fact the world he and Sangsang are in now is fake, and this world cannot last forever and will eventually break.
The moment when Sangsang could no longer maintain this world.
It was probably the moment when he and she left this world.
