Volume Four, The Year of the Curtain, Chapter 68: Porridge and Boats in the Night Sea
The hot spring in the snow made a gurgling sound. There was no fish in the slightly hot water. That was the bubbles that were spitting out. Ning Que thought about the teacher's hot spring, but he didn't even miss this detail.
Thinking of the previous vigilance and anxiety in my heart, my emotions became more and more complicated, and I remained silent for a long time.
Sangsang felt his emotional change, held his arm and leaned his head on his shoulder, just like he did not speak in the past years, but was able to confirm his existence when he was sad or sad.
After her hair was cut short, it was no longer as yellow, weak and thin as she was when she was a child, but became a little blacker. At this time, she was wet with water and stuck to her cheeks, looking a little more beautiful.
Because of the silence and strange emotions in the hot spring, and the fear of separation that arose from nowhere, Ning Que felt that his arms were very empty and wanted to hug him, so he hugged Sangsang tightly in.
In my arms.
The two hugged each other in the hot spring, then began to kiss and touch.
"You haven't gotten married yet, are you?"
At this moment, the Master's voice came from the hot spring next door.
Sangsang was awakened and quickly left his arms, lifted the towel that had slipped off at some point on his slightly raised chest, his face slightly red, not knowing whether it was shy or hot.
Ning Que turned his head and looked at Xuehou and shouted, "You approved it when you were engaged."
The Master said: "Enjoyment and marriage are two concepts."
Ning Que said: "Isn't it just a procedure to worship heaven and earth? At this time, Ye Tianxue, I will worship her and I."
The Master said, "Why do you need to worship the world if I am there? And Haotian is above, it doesn't necessarily like to see you two get married."
Ning Que laughed and thought to himself that Sangsang was the daughter of Pluto. It was indeed inappropriate to get Haotian’s blessing certification.
Then he suddenly thought of the worries he had told Sangsang before and thought silently. Could it be that the teacher had confirmed the uneasy feeling in advance, so he wanted to watch himself get married before leaving?
...
...
The stars in the night sky became brighter, and in the bay by the snowy sea, white mist evaporates, no red candles, and no guests. Only the master standing on the snow pile, and a pair of small knelt under the snow pile
Children.
This scene is quite similar to a fairyland. What is a little regretful is that the three people in the fairyland are not dressed very well, and they seem to have nothing to do with the legendary immortals.
The Master wrapped it in a big towel. It was cold and the heat was still steaming on his body. It was like a burning fish, water dripping from the edge of the towel, falling to the ground and ice.
Ning Que and Sangsang knelt under the snow pile and kowtowed three times to the Master. They were considered to have worshipped the elders.
They stood up and had snow shatters on their foreheads. But they found that the Master was no longer on the snow pile, and there was only a wet towel that was about to be frozen into ice.
The Master's voice mixed with the sound of horse hooves came from the depths of the snow sea.
"Good bridal chamber, no one will mess with you, I'll ride out for a while."
...
...
Silent overnight.
When Ning Que woke up, it was still dark before dawn. He thought about it and realized that Atami is almost eternal night now, and it is very difficult to see the sun.
Sangsang was still sleeping, and he didn't know what he dreamed of, so he arched in his arms, grinned, revealing his two white front teeth, looking as cute as a little gray rabbit.
A very fragrant smell came from outside the tent.
Ning Que knew that the teacher was back, so he quickly woke Sangsang up and began to wash and dress.
The Master used the remaining peony fish bones last night to make a pot of fish porridge.
Sangsang lifted the heavy felt and walked out of the tent. The cold wind blew, and she couldn't help but shivered. She walked to the pot and took over the work from the master's hand. The look of shame on her face gradually turned into
calm.
Compared with Sangsang's calmness, Ning Que's smirk was hung for a long time. Until he finished eating fish porridge and Sangsang went to the hot spring to clean up the dishes, he was still smirking.
The master picked up the peony fish's tail bones and looked at him while picking it, saying, "You are only in your early twenties this year, why do you feel like an old house that is on fire?"
Ning Que coughed twice and said, "I have been together for more than ten years. How could you say so exaggeratedly?"
The Master suddenly lowered his voice and asked curiously: "How do you feel?"
Ning Que looked at the fishtail bone in his hand and said helplessly: "Look at how you are like the president of the academy? People can't be disrespectful to you, right?"
The Master threw the fish bone into the snow and said, "I am not without voyeurism, but this is too rare for you. You must know that your wedding chamber and her will inevitably be published in history books in the future, so you must remember the details clearly.
.”
Ning Que didn't understand the meaning of Master's words, and he was a little tired, so he went to make up for his sleep.
The big dark horse was also resting in the tent. It ran a hundred miles on the snowy sea last night, and was very tired and felt very ashamed. Although the Master was not an ordinary person, he was still ashamed after all the riding of an old man.
.
...
...
At noon, the banks of the Rehai River were still dark and there was nowhere to be found. The group left the settlement abandoned by the deserted tribe and continued to head north.
As far as Ning Que knows, the northernmost end of the world that humans have arrived is in this extreme northern cold area, which is the northern edge of Rehai. So he is very curious about what the world in the north looks like, and he doesn't understand, so many in history.
Why did the powerful humans not explore the north side of the Hot Sea?
Until he saw the snow peak.
Yesterday when he was on the banks of Atehai, he had looked north, but he saw nothing. However, not far from Atehai today, the snow peak entered his eyes, as if he had bumped into it, which seemed particularly
Strange.
The snow peak was steep and towering, emitting a faint light from the starlight, which was countless thousands of feet high. Looking from the snow field, I felt that the peak seemed to be about to pierce the night sky.
Ning Que has been to many famous mountains and rivers, the most famous and dangerous among them is naturally the northern foot of Min Mountain, or the Tianqi Mountains. However, compared with this snow peak, Tianqi Mountain seems much shorter.
"Walking north from any place in the south, as long as you keep walking, you will walk under this snowy peak."
The Master looked up at the snow peak under the stars and said, "When the sun shone on the banks of the Rehman Sea was full, this snow summit looked even more spectacular. No one could climb up by manpower alone, so this is the northernmost end."
Ning Que noticed two key points in this sentence. First, no matter where you go north, you will walk below this snow peak. Secondly, no one can climb up by manpower alone.
So can people who can climb over be considered human?
When the black carriage appeared on the other side of the snow peak and appeared in front of the dark sea, Ning Que looked at the tall back of the master in front of him, thinking of such a question.
It was a vast ocean.
The reason why the ocean is black is that there is no blue sky and no sunshine here. Although the stars appear clearer and brighter, they have become much less.
Ning Que knew the scene he saw was a place that was not recorded in all human classics, so he was shocked, and what shocked him even more was that there was a ship in this Black Sea.
The ship is big. The big dark horse can run on the deck.
Ning Que stood by the side of the boat, looking at the snow peak under the night sky, shocking and speechless.
The Master walked to him, looked up at the dark night sky, and said, "The night begins here and then gradually spreads south."
Ning Que looked at him and asked, "Teacher, this ship is..."
The Master said: "Many years ago, I was worried that I was found and eaten by Haotian. I kept thinking about how to escape and hide. I thought that since this is the beginning of the night, I should be closest to the underworld. The power of the underworld is the strongest, Haotian's
It is difficult to extend the power here, so I built a big ship here, and when Ruo Haotian came to eat me, I fled here, sailed on the Black Sea, and never went out again."
Ning Que was stunned. Through these words, he could imagine how anxious and uneasy the teacher had been living in the world of Haotian for thousands of years.
"Later, I became stronger and no longer worried about being found and eaten by Haotian. This ship was of course useless. But I suddenly found that the night here was very clean and suitable for stargazing, so I came here again, and
I really traveled to the depths of the ocean once, but I didn’t expect that trip would have discovered something very interesting.”
"What's the matter?"
"This world is not flat."
"Teacher, I don't understand what you mean."
"I'll bring you to this ship to make you understand."
"What do you understand?"
The Master said: "Why do you have to fight with the sky? Of course, it is because Haotian wants to eat me, but two old cowards like the drunkard and the butcher can hide for so many years, and I can hide as well. At worst, I can close my eyes and go away like a Buddhist.
.There are some more important reasons why I want to fight against the sky."
“What’s the reason?”
"I used to be in the back mountain of the academy. I said that I have seen sunsets and sunrises in many parts of the world, including this ocean. There was still sunrise here at that time. Under the sunlight, this ocean is transparent and looks like
It was like an endless abyss, and the sun set in this ocean.”
"You said at that time that the moon is the reflection of the sun. I said that the sun does not really rise and fall. I also said that if the world is a ball, it will be connected. Now it seems that at least it proves that I have said before that the sun is fake.
of."
"In addition to watching the sun, I also watch stars. I watch stars on the back mountain of the academy, and on this big ship, because there are fewer stars here, and they are bright and clear. I told you, no matter how many years ago or how many times it was.
After the year, these stars have always stayed in their original positions and have not changed any changes…”
"You later made a star-watching mirror and observed it in the mirror. The size of the stars still did not change, unlike people and scenery that can be magnified. Then this shows that the positions of these stars in the night dome are fixed, and they are on the ground.
The distance is infinitely far and infinitely close, so you can't measure it with distance."
"Teacher, can it be easier?"
“Simply put, this is a closed world.”
"Simple?"
“This is a world without boundaries.”
“Didn’t you say closure before?”
"Only if there is no boundary and always connected, it is closed."
"The night dome where the stars are located is not a border?"
"No one can touch it, that is not the real boundary, it is just the boundary in your eyes and in your heart."
"Teacher, the more I talk, the more confused I am."
"Haotian doesn't want to be broken by someone, so it refuses to let people see the boundary."
"then?"
"So, this proves that this is a closed world."
"You're back again."
"Not bad, just like this world."
