Volume 2 The Lake of Winter Chapter 5 The Book of the Lost in the Wasteland
Volume 2: Lake of Winter Chapter 5: The Book of Heaven Lost on the Wasteland
The girl in white disappeared behind the cloth circumference and never appeared again. From early morning to evening, Ning Que turned his head from time to time to look towards the mountain stream, his neck and eyes began to feel sore, but he still couldn't see the scenery of the white-clothed blue waist again
.
He secretly guessed the identity of the girl, but he could only confirm that she was a female disciple of Mochiyuan, Dahe Country. He could not think of anything else, so he had to pack his bags and return to Dongsheng Village in disappointment.
During the period when the winter spirit began to cover the wasteland, the situation in Yanbei was changing quietly but clearly. The sporadic battle between the Central Plains coalition and the Left Tent royal court caused hundreds of cavalry corpses on the wasteland, which also stopped it.
Any trade exchanges between the two sides, their determination and bargaining chips were clearly seen, so the left tent royal court Chanyu sent out an envoy without any accident and conveyed his thoughts on peace talks to the people of the Central Plains.
As Ning Que analyzed, neither Xiling Temple nor Chang'an City regarded the Left Tent as its real enemy, and the Left Tent was not a weak person who was so fragile that he would be defeated with one blow. Those who whistle wandered in the winter grass
Although the barbarian cavalry suffered a great loss in the Nanguihuang people, it does not mean that they are really afraid of the Central Plains people, especially the Yan *** team on the Eastern Front, so they only carried out some superficial
After reprimanding and discussing, the Central Plains coalition agreed to the peace agreement of Zuobao.
Since the negotiations are about to begin, of course, there must be people responsible for unifying their thinking and leading the negotiation process. General Xiahou naturally cannot leave Tuyang City and go to the wasteland to negotiate in person. The Tang Dynasty cannot allow the Xiling Temple to preside over the matter. After several arguments, it has been
The final decision was that everyone would go to the crowd.
The tentative offense and defense in the wasteland have nothing to do with Ning Que, and the negotiations that are about to begin have nothing to do with him. Although the upper class of the aiding Yan army knows that his background is terrible, he has no military identity after all. In fact, with his current status,
It would be fine to represent the Tang army to negotiate, but the strategists in the General's Mansion of Tuyang City did not dare to let him take risks in the wasteland as in the past two months.
The north wind was howling outside the window, and the heat in the house was drying. Ning Que was at the table and focused on reading under the dim lights.
The captain looked at him and said, "Three days ago, someone in Tuyang City disguised himself as a caravan and left the city. The direction should be a wasteland. Although the peace talks are about to be initiated, the ban on the business order has not been lifted. I don't know what these people are anxious about.
I always feel like a spy detective in the military camp.”
As an imperial secret guard, the captain only followed Ning Que's identity after knowing his identity. Logically speaking, the secret guard could only report what he knew, not to say anything speculation, but thinking about the strangeness of Tuyang City
He could not help but say tentatively: "I heard that General Xiahou is a guest minister of the Xiling Temple."
"You don't have to test like a sissy here. I don't know what Your Majesty wants to do. You don't have to know what I want to do when I come to Yanbei Wasteland by Your Majesty's secret order. You don't have to know what you want to do."
Ning Que put down the book in his hand, looked at him and shook his head and said, "Everyone in the world knows that General Xiahou is a guest of the Xiling Temple, but so what? The sword saint Liu Bai is also a guest of the Temple, my master is also a great priest of the Temple, and my people in the Tang Dynasty believe in it.
Haotian, is it a sin to say that this is also true?”
Looking at his subordinate who was reluctant to speak, he smiled and waved his hand and continued, "When will General Xiahou want to meet the people in the Xiling Temple not be able to meet? He insisted on meeting secretly in the Yanbei wasteland during the war?
Not an idiot, don’t think too much, just keep watching Tuyang City for me.”
The captain took the order to go out.
Ning Que looked at the oil lamp that became weaker on the table, and his brows slowly frowned. As he said before, the Tang people respected Haotian, but after all, everyone knew that the Empire and the Temple were two different people, otherwise how could there be Haotian.
With the appearance of the South Gate, Xiahou, as the general of the Empire, was a guest minister of the Xiling Temple... Why did His Majesty the Emperor tolerate him so much? Why did His Majesty suddenly begin to distrust Xiahou many years later? If Xiahou really secretly colluded with the Xiling Temple,
What can he do if he attempts to be detrimental to the empire? The most important thing is what the temple can give him?
As the winter spirit really came, Yanbei welcomed the first snow, and Dongshengzhai also welcomed a formation division. This formation division held the documents of the central army tent and said that because the weather was cold and cold.
The Central Army was worried that the defensive formations in the border defense lines would be damaged, so they sent themselves to check and repair them.
There are very few practitioners in the world, and the talisman formation master is even rare. Whether in prosperous cities or bitter and cold frontiers, such people are always noble, especially on the battlefield, where there is an excellent formation master, military defense line is enough.
It was naturally stable and several points, so the arrival of this formation division was warmly welcomed by generals and ordinary soldiers.
The general of Dongshengzhai diligently welcomed the formation division into the tent, preparing to slaughter sheep and cook cattle and treat it with great pleasure, but unexpectedly, the formation division waved away the soldiers serving, looked at no one around, and asked seriously.
He said: "Mr. Thirteenth, can you be here?"
...
...
The black waist brand seemed to reflect no light, dumb, dark but not dirty, and it looked more like a piece of black jade that had been soaked in the Great River National Ink Pool.
The two waist-brands slowly approached, and when they were only one line away, they seemed to have some suction force, and they were automatically absorbed together. The dark talismans on them looked inconspicuous, but were actually wedged perfectly with the wonderful and natural craftsmanship.
Place.
Ning Que looked at the waist card that was put together and said curiously: "It turns out that there is such a use."
"The waist tags at Tianshu are all specially made, and even the Xiling Temple is difficult to forge, so as long as you see the waist tag, you can confirm the identity of the holder."
The formation master from the central army tent explained a few words to Ning Que, then stood up and bowed, and said respectfully: "The formation master at Tianshu is Qu Xiangge, I have met the lord."
Ning Que looked at the formation master's gray hair and was unwilling to receive this gift. He quickly helped him up and said, "I am just a non-staff member of the Tianshu Department. Is there any adult?"
The formation master looked at the black waist card in his hand, with sighs and smiles in his eyes, and explained: "Sir, your waist card is not something that a non-staff member can hold in his hand. This waist card is from
The authority is extremely high. In addition to the National Master and the Chief Official of Tianshu, even the walking in the South Gate will not move you."
Ning Que took back the waist card, held it in the air and watched it carefully for a long time, but he couldn't see anything. He thought that when His Majesty entered the palace that day, he was still quite dissatisfied when he finally gave such a waist card. If this one was done,
The waist card is really as powerful as this person said, and I seem to blame His Majesty for wrongly.
"Even if it is not based on the official position of Tianshu, I am the 34th generation disciple of Haotian South Gate. You are the descendant of Master Yan Se. By generation, I am my master. Is it my master? Do you want me to kneel down to you?
kowtow?"
Ning Que smiled and waved his hand and said, "I know I am of high age, but I really didn't expect it to be so high. I'll talk less. You came to me today, and I guess there must be important things to say."
"The deserted people went south and forced the tribe of the Left Treasure Royal Court to move south. This matter is not a big deal no matter how you look at it. So when the temple issued an edict, the court always felt a little strange. Even if you were afraid of the remnants of the Demon Sect, it might be because of the deserted people.
There is no reason to set up such a big formation.”
"It's okay to have a rapport cavalry. It can be explained that the temple wants to show its military power to the believers of the world. But in addition to Prince Longqing, I heard that the temple has sent more powerful men. Many of the secret spies from the Judgment Department have sneaked into the wasteland.
What exactly do they want to do if they don’t know what they want to do?”
The formation master looked at Ning Que's eyes and said seriously: "The court asked Tianshu to investigate. Why did the temple cause such a big fight? We mobilized a lot of people, and even used fellow disciples in the temple..."
Hearing this sentence, Ning Que raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Is there anyone in the temple in our Tianshu?"
The formation master nodded and explained with a smile: "The South Gate and the Temple are in the end. The Temple must have hidden people in the South Gate. The South Gate can naturally hide people in the Temple. The people at the South Gate are naturally the ones in our Tianshu.
people."
"The explanation is clear enough, please continue."
"We spent a month to find out that this matter should be related to the legendary seven volumes of heavenly books, but sir, I'm sorry, we have no evidence, we just got a piece of cloth corner."
The formation master took out a corner of the cloth from his sleeve. From the stitching line, the corner of the cloth should be the hem of the clothes, and then it was torn apart by someone with brute force. There were two dark red handwritings on the corner of the cloth: "Bright scroll"
.
Ning Que looked at the two words on the corner of the cloth, frowned, stretched out his hand and gently touched the dark red-haired black handwriting, and said, "This is a blood book."
The formation master looked at him and whispered: "The companions in the temple tried every means to send out this cloth corner, and then there was no news again. It was probably discovered by someone."
If you can discover such a big secret in a place like Xiling Temple and send it out, you can imagine that the spy buried in Xiling in Tianshu has a not low status in the temple.
Ning Que frowned and looked at the two blood words on the corner of the cloth. After a long silence, he said, "Just relying on these two words... why do you confirm that it is related to the seven heavenly books? If not, wouldn't he die a pity.
?”
The formation master said: "After seeing these two blood words on the corner of the cloth, no one in Tianshu connected this with the legendary seven volumes of heavenly books. Until the master of the National Master saw it, he confirmed that the volume was
One of the seven heavenly books.”
Ning Que held the corner of the cloth in his hand, looked up at his eyes, thought for a moment and asked, "How can we confirm that the temple sends the strong men into the wasteland? Is this related to this matter?"
"Because this book of heaven is very likely to be with the deserted people." said the formation master.
Ning Que asked in confusion: "The Demon Sect comes from the Wild People's Tribe, why is the Heavenly Book of Haotian Sect among the Wild People?"
The formation master looked at him with a complicated expression, and was very puzzled by this Master's personal disciple. The future national master of the Tang Dynasty would not know the most famous history in the world of cultivation.
"Sir... Countless years ago, the deserted people occupied the northern part of the continent, spanning the north and south, and were known as the strongest country. At that time, the Haotian Temple sent the great priest of light to the wasteland to preach, in order to include the deserted people in the Haotian Divine Light."
"However, no one could have thought that the great master of light with exquisite teachings and profound virtues would have thought and entered a different path while preaching to the deserted people, and created a completely different practice method from the right path."
Ning Que rubbed his head and asked in disbelief: "Is this method of practice the Demon Sect Kung Fu?"
"good."
The founding ancestor of the Demon Sect was actually the great priest of the Light of the Xiling Temple? Ning Que only learned about this dusty past until today. He was shocked and thought that after all the troubles, everyone was a family.
The formation master continued to tell: "The great master of light has made great achievements and strict teachings. He is best at enlightening mortals. At that time, the temple had great expectations for him to preach in the wilderness, and even asked him to bring a book of heaven. And when he was, he was the one who had brought him a book of heaven.
After creating the Demon Sect and becoming an enemy in the temple, this heavenly book naturally stayed on the wasteland and never appeared in the Central Plains again."
"Decades ago, the sects hidden in the Central Plains of the Demon Sect were wiped out by the righteous path of the Central Plains. Even the mysterious Demon Sect Mountain Gate was said to have been cut into ruins by a senior expert's single sword, but no one found the book of heaven.
.”
Single sword breaks through the mountain and cuts the Demon Sect into ruins. Listening to the deeds of senior masters, Ning Que seems to have seen the scenes of the past, his mood is stirring, his skin is a little numb, but for some reason, he always feels
That senior expert should have something to do with him, at least with the academy.
"Who is that senior expert?"
"I have no idea."
“…”
"Since there is not even the heavenly book in the mountain gate of the Demon Sect, there is only one possibility, that is, a thousand years ago, it was taken to the extreme northern cold domain by the deserted people. The extreme northern cold domain is bitter and cold, and the deserted people are strong,
Even great practitioners who know the realm of fate dare not entertain easily, so this conjecture always remains in the conjecture. But now that the deserted people have moved south from the extreme northern cold domain, the temple will of course find the book of heaven.
”
Hearing this, Ning Que finally understood why the court made such a judgment on the temple's intention. He also believed that in order to regain a volume of the Heavenly Book that had been lost for thousands of years, the Xiling Temple would definitely not hesitate to set off a bloody war, and to let millions of people do it.
The bloody sacrifice even allowed Prince Longqing and even more important people to take risks.
From emperors and kings to peddlers and barracks, everyone in the world knows that the Seven Books of Heaven are the most sacred classics of the Haotian Dao Sect, but almost everyone does not know what the Seven Books of Heaven are and what is recorded on it.
There are many legends about the seven volumes of heavenly books. Some say that the heavenly books record the will conveyed by Haotian to the world, some say that the heavenly *** carries prophecies about the world, some say that the heavenly books itself is an supreme magic weapon that condenses the power of heaven and earth.
There are also rumors that mortals can practice by looking at the heavenly books, practitioners can break the realm by looking at the heavenly books, ghosts in the underworld can purify and rebirth by looking at the heavenly books, and saints can turn into immortals by looking at the heavenly books,
Ning Que had heard of these legends, but his life was too far away from things like the Seven Books of Heaven at that time, and he had no concern at all. He even didn't believe in the existence of the Seven Books of Heaven. Today, he finally knew that the Seven Books of Heaven was real.
However, he still did not believe in the rumors, and felt that the seven volumes of heavenly books were more likely to be the secret of the Haotian Dao Sect, and some earth-shaking peerless practice method.
At this time, he did not know that his name had appeared in the first volume of the Heavenly Book.
...
...
"The Book of Heaven is very important, everyone wants it, but what does it have to do with me?"
After all, he is a disciple of the second floor of the academy. Although his strength is still weak, he is more or less affected by the infatuation and pride of all the senior brothers and sisters in the back mountain. Ning Que was not shocked by the name of the Seven Volumes of Heavenly Books.
After a long time, I quickly woke up and looked at the formation master and asked.
The formation master looked out the window and leaned against his ear and said softly: "The national master asked me to bring you a message. It is difficult to find the heavenly book in the wasteland. Ordinary practitioners have no power in front of the temple, and he and Yan
After all, Master Se is also the identity of the temple master, so it is not convenient to take action, and you happen to be in Yanbei, so..."
"So this matter fell on me?" Ning Que asked staring at him.
"That's true. Even this piece of cloth with blood-like characters was personally issued an order by the National Master to send someone to take it from Chang'an City to show you."
Ning Que stared at the snowflakes floating outside the window and was silent for a long time. Suddenly he asked, "What does Tianshu look like?"
The formation master replied respectfully: "I don't know."
Ning Que's eyes fell on his face and continued to ask, "Size or small?"
The formation teacher replied honestly: "I don't know."
Ning Que's eyebrows twitched slightly, forcibly suppressing his emotions, and asked again: "What volume is the temple thrown away?"
The formation master shook his head and said, "I still don't know."
Then he pointed to the corner of cloth that Ning Que held in his palm and said, "It should be Mingjuan."
Ning Que took the corner of the cloth and looked at it twice, frowned and asked, "What volume is Mingjuan... which volume is it?"
The formation master coughed twice, looked at him and said carefully, "I said it before, I don't know."
Ning Que said angrily: "I don't know anything, how can I find it!"
The formation master looked at him innocently and said, "I heard that even the temple is not qualified to worship the seven heavenly books. The heavenly books come from an unknown place. How could ordinary people like Beizhi know about it?"
Hearing the five words of unknown land, Ning Que's brows frowned a little deeper. He remembered the truth about the life experience of Chen Pipi having already revealed half of his fat face, and the few words he occasionally heard in the academy, and felt that this matter was really troublesome.
"Sir, you are the future national teacher of the Tang Dynasty and the master's personal disciple. You practice in the back mountain of the academy every day. The things you can come into contact with are far higher than those of the humble vocation. You should know more clearly what the Tianshu looks like.
”
Ning Que was stunned and thought that he was busy practicing archery all day in the back mountain of the academy, so he had no concern for the top legends of the world of cultivation, nor had the opportunity to inquire about the stories from his seniors. Do you also want to tell you such a thing?
After the formation master left, Ning Que sat by the window and looked at the wind and snow coming from the direction of the wasteland, and thought for a long time.
Until today he realized that he had underestimated himself after entering the second floor of the academy. He did not expect that even legendary items such as the Seven Volumes of Heavenly Books began to contact him. If he had known this, he would have used crab roe porridge to lure tangerine peel early.
Tell us about our origins and ask us about the secrets of those unknown places and the seven volumes of heavenly books.
Suddenly, he remembered that the General's Mansion of Tuyang City sent someone to disguise himself as a caravan to enter the wasteland, and his eyebrows slowly frowned. Could it be that Xiahou also wanted to get the book of heaven that had been lost for thousands of years? If this is true, it seems that no matter how many
In the difficulties, he had to plan carefully after entering the wasteland.

(Last night, I had an inexplicable cold and rhinitis. Today I was drowsy for a day and wrote very hard. Then in the afternoon, I learned that Seventy-two was sick. His illness was much more troublesome than me. He became another poor person after White Bird.
I couldn't help but feel heavy. I wish you good health and happiness for the whole family. I won't have a rest tomorrow, but I don't know how much I can write it, so I can do my best. Today's recommendation ticket is very fierce, and I am very pleased, but this comfort force me to not go to bed.
Lying on the corpse, please continue to vote for recommendations and please comfort me, thank you.)
