Volume 5, The Pen of God, Chapter 72, Three Little Things, Part 2
After spring, no one has entered the Temple of Light, including the headmaster, so when the respectful priests and deacons in the cliffs saw Xiaocao being brought into the temple by the girl in white, they couldn't help showing expressions of shock.
They couldn't understand what they saw.
Xiaocao herself didn't understand what happened to her. She knew that the Temple of Light had not had an owner for many years, so who wanted to see her?
After the girl in white brought her into the temple, she quietly retreated. Looking at the empty and majestic temple, she felt so small that she subconsciously knelt on the soft cushion.
There was a curtain in the depths of the temple. No one could be seen or heard behind the curtain. The silence was heart-stopping. She lowered her head and waited uneasily for her end.
Time passed slowly, and she didn't know how long she had been kneeling and waiting. Her knees were already sore, but she did not dare to stand up, and she became more and more nervous.
Suddenly she saw a big black horse.
There was joy in Xiaocao's eyes, because she recognized the big black horse and knew it was Ning Que's mount. She was about to say hello to the black horse, but she remembered something else.
She once had a good friend in Chang'an City. That friend was about the same age as her, dark, skinny, and small. They used to give each other many small and worthless gifts. She taught that friend how to apply makeup and how to seduce.
The lecherous male master of her family.
Later, her good friend encountered many things and became a young lady from a bachelor's family. She was even said to be a descendant of the Great Priest of Light. However, when they met occasionally, she was still the same person.
Xiaocao was shocked and at a loss. She clutched her chest and sat on the soft cushion. She couldn't believe her own reasoning, but she knew that there could be no other explanation.
The wind started to pick up in the Temple of Light and lifted a corner of the curtain, but there was no old friend she was familiar with. She could only vaguely see a very tall girl standing on the terrace.
Is it Sangsang?
Xiaocao stood up, looked at that figure and wanted to shout, but did not dare to. Regardless of whether she was the owner of the Guangming Temple or some other big shot in the Xiling Temple, she was no longer the inconspicuous friend she was back then.
"I give you eternal life."
An extremely majestic voice echoed in the Temple of Light.
Xiaocao didn't know if the sound came from the figure by the terrace. She stared blankly at the curtain that divided the world into two halves, her fists hanging on the side of her skirt clenched slightly.
The girl in white who disappeared earlier appeared again and took her out of the Temple of Light.
When she walked into the Temple of Light, Xiaocao didn't do anything. She didn't encounter torture or punishment, didn't see her old friends, didn't worship Haotian, she just left.
Everything seems to be just for her to hear those words - I give you eternal life.
Xiaocao left the Guangming Temple and returned to the small town. The girls from the first recruitment asked uneasily what happened. Before she could say anything, the temple sent dozens of cavalry to send the song and dance troupe of the first recruitment out of Xiling.
The Kingdom of God even sent them all the way to the south of Qingxia.
After returning to Chang'an City, Xiaocao still felt that her trip to Xiling was like a dream, especially the period of waiting in the Temple of Light. It was really like a dream without any real elements, until many years later she
Only then did he realize what the divine gift he had received meant.
…
…
On Taoshan Mountain, the Haotian Temple where the Master is located has always been the highest, but now in people's eyes, the quiet Temple of Light is truly unattainable.
No one dares to go against the will of the Temple of Light, not even the headmaster. However, since the beginning of spring, the Temple of Light has been silent and only recently issued a few edicts.
The first edict of the Guangming Temple was to bring him back to Chang'an with gifts. This edict made everyone in the temple a little puzzled. In the eyes of the headmaster and other people who knew the inside story, the reason was very simple. Haotian was resting in the world of mortals.
At that time, I had received certain favors from mortals, and this was just repayment.
But the second edict issued by the Temple of Light shocked and puzzled the headmasters. The girl in white asked the temple to immediately stop the pursuit of Chen Pipi and Tang Xiaotang with an expressionless face.
During the Light Festival, Tang Xiaotang forced his way into Taoshan and escaped with Chen Pipi. This was a great humiliation for the Xiling Temple, and they would naturally have to pay a huge price.
After that day, all the strong men in the temple went out to search everywhere, and many traps were set up on the road from Qinghe County to Chang'an. The headmaster firmly believed that under the pressure of drunkards and butchers, the real strong men in the back mountains of the academy did not dare to take action.
, then Chen Pipi and Tang Xiaotang will be caught by the temple sooner or later, and then executed by Ling Chi.
At this time, the girl in white asked the temple to stop the search immediately... Why did Haotian do this? The headmaster felt a little confused, but he did not dare to question it.
…
…
For the Xiling Temple, although it was very angry and displeasing to leave without any injuries, it was only a small matter after all. Stopping the pursuit of Chen Pipi and Tang Xiaotang was a real big deal.
To Sang Sang, these are all trivial matters, because to Haotian, everything in the world is trivial. Her decisions have nothing to do with any human emotions, but are based on heaven's calculations.
The purpose of the Light Sacrifice was to reopen the door to the Haotian Kingdom and cut off all the ties left behind in the human world for her, so she asked Chen Pipi to be a sacrifice and asked the Tang State to send the soldiers to the Xiling Kingdom. In her original plan,
According to her arrangement, Chen Pipi and Tang Xiaotang will die after a blazing holy fire, and Xiaocao will also die, and then most of the earthly ties she left in the world can be cut off.
Unfortunately, Ning Que appeared. He used that grand apocalypse to prove to her that the fate of the world is unbreakable, so after thinking about it, she decided to find another solution.
If earthly fate is love, then she repays love with her life, she gives immortality to Xiaocao, and she gives Chen Pipi and Tang Xiaotang one more life, thinking that in this way she can break the bond between herself and the world.
…
…
Ning Que didn't know these things. Just as He Mingchi said that day, he could only see the fallen leaves and rain clouds outside the stone window, but he had no way to catch the rain.
He is now the most important prisoner of You Pavilion, but he doesn't care. If he hadn't come to Taoshan, he would just be a prisoner in Chang'an City. He is being imprisoned anyway, and it doesn't matter where he is imprisoned.
What he cared about was still the war with Sangsang. He lay on the stone bed and continued to dream, fragrant dreams, terrifying dreams, constantly fighting with the woman who was sometimes plump and sometimes thin, enjoying the most beautiful things in his life.
In the ultimate pain and pleasure, he often kissed her and occasionally bit her, feeling her softness and smoothness, feeling her being cut into pieces.
She was in the Temple of Light on the top of the mountain, he was in the cold stone hut on the cliff, loving, hating and killing each other across a thousand feet distance. He made her feel the most wonderful feeling in the world, she made him feel the most painful feeling in the world, she
Keep killing him, and he keeps loving her. In fact, it is all torture.
This is a war between heaven and man, and a war between men and women. Both of these two wars have occurred countless times in history, but now they are merged into one.
This war is very ordinary, just like the simplest family drama. It just depends on whether the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overpowers the east wind. In other words, who is on top and who is below, who wants to change positions and who doesn't want to change. In the end, one side will win.
Victory, and then the voice at home will be loud.
But this war is very unusual, because the final decision is not about who is in charge of Lao Bizhai, but about the outcome of Haotian and mankind, and about the final direction of the world.
Relying on the life of a couple determines the direction of the world. Sometimes when thinking about this matter, Ning Que will inevitably feel extremely ridiculous, and he will also feel a little proud and complacent that cannot be concealed.
The war in the dream continued. He didn't know the time in the cell. The autumn leaves falling outside the stone window became fewer and fewer. It wasn't until snowflakes began to fall that he realized that winter had arrived.
No one surrenders, there is no victory or defeat.
Ning Que looked at the falling snow flakes outside the stone window, thinking that the frequency of torture in recent days had gradually become less and less, and he frowned slightly, guessing what happened.
He didn't know what was happening in the outside world now, but he confirmed that Mr. Cui had been shot to death by him. He knew that there was someone in the town where the drunkard and the butcher were, but he didn't know that it was his old friend. He knew that Tang Guohe Academy was ready
, Qinghe County will soon usher in the fury of revenge.
But the premise of all this is that he can defeat Sang Sang.
If there is love in the sky, it will be easy to grow old, and if you grow old, you will naturally get hurt. If Sangsang has love, he can win, but now he can't see any possibility, and he can't find a way to break the deadlock.
What confused or alarmed him the most was that Sangsang should not be able to find any way to break off the worldly bond now, but why did she look so calm and confident in the dream?
Another small incident happened in the Temple of Light.
The two girls in white knelt behind Sangsang, looking extremely nervous and sad. Especially the girl in white on the left, whose eyebrows were gradually opening, was crying in fear.
On a wooden plate not far away was a pair of white trousers with blood stains on them.
It turned out that the girl in white had her menarche.
They were selected by the temple from more than 100,000 girls in the Xiling Divine Kingdom. They were required to be fair and clean, and not to cause any filth in the world. They knew this very well.
The experience in the Temple of Light in the past six months has made them realize how high and great the saint they serve is. Because of this, they feel proud and become more pious.
However, menarche finally came. They knew what was coming to them and wanted to hide it but didn't dare. So they knelt behind Sangsang and waited for Haotian's punishment with tears.
Sangsang did not punish them.
She looked at the bright moon looming in the night sky and said: "The world has begun to call this a menstrual event. I don't know if you will find it interesting or annoying."
A thin layer of night snow fell on the terrace.
She frowned slightly, looked at a cliff in the wind and snow, and slowly placed her right hand on her lower abdomen.
The embankment of a thousand miles is made of baskets of soil, the city of a thousand years is made of bricks, and no matter how big an event is, it is actually made up of very inconspicuous things.
Three small things happened in her world.
These three little things led to one result: she decided to let someone out.
