Ning Que heard two key points in Chen Pipi's words.
First, he said that the teacher didn’t know where to die yet. The second was that he said that the second senior brother was so tyrannical that all the senior brothers dared not speak out. Then he saw Chen Pipi holding the senior brother in his arms like a treasure.
His face was full of anticipation and ecstasy, but there was no trace of respect or distance, so he understood two things.
First, neither the master nor the senior brother in the back mountain of the academy cares much about other people's looks and attitudes. That's why Chen Pipi speaks freely and has no sense of distance in his behavior. The one who is really scary or worthy of respect is
The second senior brother who is not smiling even though he is being hammered. Secondly, Chen Pipi is really a master of lying.
Chen Pipi didn't know that Ning Que was complaining about him, so he wiped the snot and tears on his face, took Ning Que into his arms, patted him hard a few times, and said, "Junior brother, you have worked hard... Oh, this girl is so tall.
It’s really beautiful.”
Ning Que pushed him away extremely roughly and looked back at Mo Shanshan. He couldn't help feeling embarrassed. He thought to himself that there is no point in praising someone's beauty when they meet for the first time. This guy has really embarrassed the people behind the academy.
.
Chen Pipi is not really lustful. He even has a weaker understanding of things between men and women than Ning Que. He is simply too weak. Otherwise, he would not have been so miserably dealt with by Ye Hongyu back then. After giving Ning Que the first
The letter showed that he was so bitter towards women, so he just really thought Mo Shanshan was good-looking and had no other ideas.
Ning Que introduced: "This girl is Mo Shanshan from the River Kingdom, a close disciple of Lord Shu Sage King."
Chen Pipi was slightly stunned and asked in disbelief: "Are you a bookworm?"
Through the conversations between these academy brothers, Mo Shanshan has confirmed that this person is the legendary youngest person in the world who knows the destiny. He was a little surprised and looked at him and nodded.
Chen Pipi took a breath of air and said with emotion: "No wonder she is so beautiful, but since you and that woman are both known as the three idiots in the world, I'd better not mess with you less. Hey, you seem to look down on me? Can you?
Do you know that this genius is a genius among monastic geniuses, the kind that reaches the extreme level of genius?"
Ning Que helplessly explained: "Shanshan's eyesight is not very good, don't get me wrong."
Chen Pipi was startled, and the scoundrel said: "Anyway, I don't like people who are similar to Taoist idiots."
Ning Que was too lazy to pay attention to him and asked, "Why are you here?"
Chen Pipi said: "You can ask Sangsang yourself."
At this time, the senior brother finished his inspection of Laobi Zhai, looked at them and said slowly: "Isn't the junior brother here to treat us to dinner? When will it start? I'm a little hungry."
As soon as he returned to Chang'an City, Ning Que invited his senior brother and Shanshan to Lao Bizhai as guests, because he really appreciated each other's care along the way, so he wanted them to get in touch with and enter his real life.
It’s just that life seems very simple and ordinary, and it was originally very simple and ordinary, but in fact many words in Laobi Zhai today are not simple. Both senior brother and Chen Pipi revealed some information in a vague way, but they didn’t know each other.
Each other's persistence and judgment, not to mention him and the two little girls as the parties involved?
Probably because of this, Lao Bi Zhai's first official banquet ended without any success. Sangsang lingered in the backyard for a long time, and before the tea was even brought out, the three senior brothers left.
The residence of the girls of Mochiyuan in Dahe Kingdom is arranged in the VIP Department of the Ministry of Etiquette, and Mo Shanshan will go there to meet his fellow disciples. In Chen Pipi's words, the master is still playing around after he died, so the senior brother will naturally go back to the back mountain of the academy to handle the affairs of the academy.
, Chen Pipi also left with his senior brother, so when the shop door closed with a slight creak, Lao Bizhai once again became a world with only Ning Que and Sang Sang, quiet and peaceful.
Sang Sang steamed a bowl of rice, cooked a bowl of radish, sour bamboo shoots, bacon, and stir-fried a plate of home-cooked vegetables. This was Ning Que's first meal after returning to Chang'an City.
There was a charcoal pot burning in the shop and it was very warm. Ning Que took off his coat and sat at the table to eat quietly. Sang Sang sat on the other side of the table and ate quietly, adding a bowl of rice for him from time to time.
Soup, no one said anything.
After picking Sangsang out of a pile of corpses on the roadside, Ning Que spent more than half a year in the wasteland, which was the longest separation between the two of them. No matter how long the separation was, they would not feel strange to each other.
However, Ning Que always felt a little uncomfortable, especially when he saw Sangsang's eyebrows gradually opening, he realized that this girl had clearly grown up a lot.
After eating, Sangsang didn't wash the dishes, but started telling him stories.
"That day, the old man came into the shop wearing a dirty coat and said that he and I had a chance and wanted to take me in as his apprentice. I thought that he was already so old and couldn't eat too much, so I took him in.
Come down."
This story was a bit long. Sangsang's language was concise enough and he told it for a long time. During this process, Ning Que remained silent, neither asking questions nor picking up the tea cup at hand to take a sip.
The story finally came to the last part. Sangsang took him to the patio, pointed to the two urns under the wall, and said: "The one sleeping in the new urn is my teacher, and the one sleeping in the old urn is your teacher."
"
Then she walked into the bedroom, rummaged around on the bed for a long time, and took out two things from some secret place. She handed one of them to him and said, "This is what Master Yanse left for you. It seems to be very important. Many people are looking for it."
."
She raised the seemingly ordinary waist badge in her hand and said: "This is what the teacher left for me. In his words, it is the waist badge of Xiling Temple Guangming Grand Palace. If I want to sit on the throne in the future, I need to wear this badge."
Carry it around your waist."
Ning Que looked at the waistband and thought of the two-chun murder case many years ago. He frowned slightly and felt a little disgusted.
Sang Sang looked at him in silence for a moment and then said: "The murder in General Xuanwei's Mansion was probably planned by the teacher. He said it was because he once saw a person who was born to know him in the General's Mansion. Young Master, that was you, right?
?”
Ning Tong nodded. Growing up, he never mentioned the blood feud he carried to Sangsang, because he felt that these things had nothing to do with her, and there was no need for her to become as cold and unfeeling as he was, but he did not deliberately do so.
After so many years of hiding something from her, some things that should be known have naturally been known for a long time.
Sangsang looked into his eyes and said seriously: "The shadow in the night that the teacher is looking for is actually the legendary son of Pluto. If he is looking for you, wouldn't you be the son of Pluto?"
Although Ning Que comes from another world and his life experience can be said to be bizarre, he has never associated himself with the great existence in the legend, let alone Pluto. After hearing these words, he was just stunned and said mockingly
: "Although in a sense I have met Pluto once, I know better than anyone else that I am definitely not the son of Pluto. That teacher of yours is not only a madman, but also an idiot."
Sangsang said: "But there are many people who believe the teacher, so we must not let others know about this."
Ning Que thought for a long time and then smiled slightly and said with emotion: "You are right, except the two of us, no one can know about this matter, just like the box of banknotes under the bed."
Sangsang suddenly looked down at the tips of his shoes and said softly: "There is one more thing."
"Let's talk about it later."
Ning Que raised his head and glanced at the sky, walked to the wall, picked up the old urn, and said, "I want to bury the master first."
Sangsang pointed to the new urn and said, "There is another one."
Ning Que looked at the new urn, frowned slightly and said indifferently: "This person killed my whole family, killed Xiao Heizi's entire village, and killed my master. If I didn't smash this urn, I would have fulfilled the academy professor's rule of forgiveness.
."
After saying this, he hugged the old urn and left the patio and walked to the front bunk.
Sangsang stood there and thought for a while, then walked to the wall and picked up the new urn.
The simple carriage outside Lao Bizhai was brought back to the academy by the senior brother, as well as the black carriage.
The big black horse was kicking its hooves boredly in front of the black car.
Ning Que walked to the car and slowly touched the car wall with his hand. The car wall, which was made purely of fine steel and cast iron, exuded a unique chill of metal, but those deep and dense lines seemed to still retain the aura of Master Yan Se.
He carried the new baby into the carriage.
After a while, Sangsang climbed up holding the old urn and panting heavily.
Ning Que looked down at the old urn and said to the big black horse: "Go to the south of the city.
The big black horse seemed to understand people's words, and the black carriage moved slowly.
The wheels rolled over the bluestone slabs, making a crisp and clear sound. The carriage was quiet. The master and the servant each held the urn of their master's ashes in silence.
I don't know how long it took.
Ning Que suddenly looked up at her and said, "Come here."
Sangsang was very happy and prepared to go there with the new urn in her arms.
Ning Que looked at the new urn in her arms, frowned and said, "Come here, put the urn over there."
Sangsang glanced down at the new urn, then looked up at the empty seat next to Ning Que. She carefully placed the new urn next to the seat and leaned against it. Then she walked to the opposite side and sat down next to Ning Que.
Ning Que put the old urn in his arms at his feet, and then hugged her into his arms.
There was no words along the way, only the sound of cars accompanied her. Sangsang leaned on his arms with peace of mind, but occasionally glanced to the opposite side, a little worried that the new urn would be knocked over and the teacher would leave.
South of Chang'an City.
There is a meadow not far from the academy. This meadow belongs to the academy, but few people take care of it. Therefore, even in the middle of winter, you can still see the corpses of withered and yellow weeds that are as long as knee length.
Two new graves were erected deep among the withered yellow weeds.
Ning Que kowtowed twice in front of a grave, stood up and looked at another new grave a few steps away. His face was a little ugly and he said, "I asked you to bury it as far away as possible, why didn't you listen?"
Sangsangli ignored him and knelt in front of the new grave, imitating his example and kowtowing three times.
Ning Que said helplessly: "Now you don't even listen to my words anymore——
Sangsang stood up, looked at him and said: "They are already dead, so why are they buried so far away? They said when they were picking the urns, they can still be neighbors if they are placed side by side after death."
Ning Que looked at the two new graves in front of him and was silent for a long time. Then he cursed angrily: "We are all dead, so why are we neighbors? We have all turned into a handful of ashes. Do we still think we can chat and fight? We are really two people.
