Volume Four, Chapter 81: The Yellow River Thinks Too Much Before
(.)
The viewer looked at the headmaster and said calmly: "You want to know why I came back?... You probably won't believe that I came back because Haotian needs my help..."
The headmaster remained silent, thinking that you entered the realm of tranquility in Chang'an City and cut off the contact with Haotian, so that you could be punished by Haotian. To this day, you are still a useless person. Not to mention that Haotian knows everything and is omnipotent.
, you don’t need mortal help at all, and even if you do, that person shouldn’t be you.
The viewer knew what he was thinking, and smiled and said: "Haotian doesn't want my help, so I keep watch on myself. Now that she has left Taoshan, it means that there are some things that she can't solve, so I want to come back and see if I can."
If I can help her, I can at least do something that is inconvenient for her to do."
The headmaster still didn't understand.
The temple owner's expression was as calm as a lake in a Taoist temple, and he said: "Faith is a very simple thing. Even if faith abandons you, you still remain unwavering and never leave. This is true faith."

Ning Que and Sang Sang walked out of the abyss and walked among the mountains. The blue sky had long been covered by thick clouds, and the increasingly violent wind and snow caused countless wisps of smoke and dust to rise on the ground, obscuring their sight.
The two continued to move forward, and when the wind and snow calmed down, they finally came to a rugged mountain road in the mountains, and then heard a cheerful neighing sound coming from ahead.
The sound of hoofbeats was as dense as a rainstorm, and the neighing sound was continuous. The big black horse galloped from the distance of the mountain road like lightning, swaying its head and tail as it ran, looking extremely happy.
When the big black horse ran in front of Ning Que, he was shocked to find that Sangsang was also there. He immediately lowered his voice and humbly walked to Sangsang with his head lowered, wagging his tail gently to please him.
"A worthless thing." Ning Que said with a smile, and then found that the big black umbrella and the iron sword in the quiver were on its back. He was a little surprised and couldn't figure out how it did it.
He patted the big black horse's neck and said with emotion: "Now we are all here."
Ning Que and Sang Sang, together with the returning big black horse and the luggage, except for the carriage, were still in Chang'an City. This was the most standard outfit when they fled the world that year.
Sangsang ignored the shameless big black horse next to him, and didn't pay attention to Ning Que's emotion. He walked forward along the mountain road in the light snow with his hands behind his back.
This simple mountain road hidden in the mountains is very long. Almost no one comes here on weekdays. The road surface is in a state of disrepair and is extremely crude. However, it has no impact on them. They can only see flowers and green clothes floating slightly. Some people are walking with sticks.
The big black horse led himself and carried the burden, but followed them helplessly.
After walking for about several hours, they finally walked out of the barren mountain at their feet and came to the fork in the road. Ning Que looked at the mountains covered with snow and asked, "Where to go next?"
Sangsang said expressionlessly: "You want me to leave Taoshan even if you want to die. You just want me to come to the world. In this case, what difference does it make where I go?"
Ning Que looked at the fluttering green hair on her face and said, "Since you are willing to follow me and leave Taoshan, it means that you also want to return to the world of mortals. Then you always have somewhere you want to go."
Sangsang said: "I said, you will lead the way."
Ning Que thought for a while and then said: "This is not far from Song Kingdom, where should we go?"
The big black horse listened to his suggestion. He lowered his head and thought to himself, Master, you are so clever. It is better not to perform in front of the hostess, otherwise you will be easily laughed at.
Sangsang said: "You want to take me to walk the world again, eat all the food in the world, and see all the scenery like the Master, but that is of no use to me."
Ning Que looked a little embarrassed. He unconsciously slid his palm on the cane made of branches and said, "You are thinking too much. I just remember that the food in that restaurant is good."
Sangsang said: "I have already been to that restaurant, so I decided to change it."
Ning Que said: "Or go to Linkang City? There is a person preaching there. His ideas are somewhat different from the Xiling Canon. Maybe you will be interested."
Sangsang said: "I never care about how humans explain my will."
Ning Que said: "This sounds a bit profound."
Sangsang said: "I am the way of heaven."
Ning Que understood, and then said: "How about we go back to Weicheng to have a look?"
Sangsang was silent for a while and said, "You should want me to go to Chang'an City the most."
Ning Que said: "I don't know if you are willing to go."
Sangsang said, "I'm not willing yet."
Ning Que mentioned a few more things, but Sang Sang coldly rejected them all.
He thought about the conversation in the abyss and mist, and said helplessly: "You asked me to lead the way, but you didn't agree with everything I said. In the end, it's not your decision."
Sangsang said: "You have mentioned the east, west, and north, why not the south?"
Ning Que didn't know how to answer this sentence. South of the mountains of Xiling Divine Kingdom should be the famous river, and south of the river is the Great River Kingdom...
Sangsang looked at him and said expressionlessly: "Why not go to the River Country?"
Ning Que said: "It is far away from the bustling city. It can be said to be a remote place. There is no special scenery, and it is difficult to see new people and things. Naturally, I didn't expect it."
Sangsang said: "But there are people you and I know there."
Ning Que pretended not to understand and said, "You and I know many people in this world."
Sangsang said: "What are you afraid of?"
Ning Que said nothing.
Sang Sang looked into his eyes quietly and said, "Are you afraid that I will kill her?"
Ning Que said: "Why did you want to kill her?"
Sangsang said: "Haotian wants people to die, there is no need for a reason."
Ning Que looked into her eyes and said after a moment of silence, "Or are you jealous?"
Sang Sang's expression did not change at all, and she said: "You are afraid that I will kill her, because subconsciously, you want me to be jealous. It does not mean that I really have such low-level emotions."
Ning Que still looked into her eyes quietly and asked, "But you are jealous."
Sangsang said nothing.
"Otherwise you wouldn't ask me why I didn't choose the River Country." Ning Que laughed, just like the cat in Lao Bizhai who looked proud every time he caught a mouse.
Sangsang smiled slightly and said, "Then shall we go to Dahe?"
Ning Que said: "Can I object?"
Sangsang said: "Yes, but I won't accept it."
Ning Que said: "Then let's go."
The big dark horse was listening to their conversation from behind, and couldn't help but feel bored, thinking that he might see his favorite hostess. Although he was happy, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
What it worries about is also what Ning Que worries about - if Sangsang comes back to the world again and becomes more and more like a human being, this is naturally what Ning Que wants to see the most. However, she is the omnipotent Haotian after all.
Coupled with the complex human emotions, no one knows what she will do.
…
…
All the way south, along the mountain road, the wind and snow gradually disappeared, and the sun shone on the hills and fields. It was still unreasonably warm in the south in the deep winter.
After arriving in the hilly area, Sangsang left the mountain road and walked along a straight line towards the south, no matter how difficult the terrain was. It was naturally a smooth road for her, but it was very hard for Ning Que and Big Black Horse.
He couldn't help complaining, who was leading the way now?
One day, a thunderous roar suddenly came from in front of the hills, and the humidity in the air also increased a lot. Ning Que naturally thought of the waterfall on the mountain behind the academy, and the small courtyard of his second senior brother. He couldn't help but be curious.
How majestic is the waterfall in front of us? The sound can spread so far.
When he came to the cliff, Ning Que discovered that this was not a waterfall. It was a majestic river. The yellow waves were surging, and the water was extremely powerful. It surged wantonly between the black rocks and the yellow soil. There was a huge gap in this section.
In the large river valley, the turbid yellow water rushed and fell, forming several extremely wide waterfalls. The water heads collided and made a thunderous roar, shaking the rocks in the water as if they might break at any time. This is the legendary big river.
Looking at the big yellow river in front of him, feeling the slight trembling from the cliffs under his feet, and realizing the infinite power contained in the river, his mind was greatly shocked, and he understood why this big river could help the country of the river.
The elite soldiers who blocked the Southern Jin Dynasty also understood why Liu Bai was able to achieve enlightenment here.
He naturally recalled the sword that flew from the Sword Pavilion to Taoshan in the autumn - when he was sweeping the Temple of Light, he saw in the corner the ancient sword left behind by Liu Bai after his death.
The master once used that sword to slay the golden dragon and kill the divine general. Liu Bai poured his soul into that sword, went to Taoshan proudly, and challenged Haotian alone. That ancient sword is the sword of the world.
Today the sword is still there, but the people who wield it are gone.
Seeing the surging Yellow River and thinking about his predecessors, Ning Que had mixed feelings. Looking at Sang Sang standing next to him, he felt even more complicated and didn't know what to say.
Sangsang looked at a black rock by the river and said, "This is where Liu Bai learned his sword skills."
Going all the way south, they came to the place where Liu Bai learned the sword. Ning Que understood that this must be Sangsang's will. He looked at the faint sword marks between the black rocks and thought deeply.
After a moment of silence, he stretched his right hand into the slightly damp air. Amidst the thundering sound of the river, he held the iron sword and began to meditate. He wanted to understand the meaning of the sword where the previous sage had learned about it.
Sangsang said: "You are a Talisman Master."
Ning Que understood what she meant and said, "I can also write talismans with a knife."
Sangsang said: "Your spirit is much higher than the past few days."
Ning Que said: "Seeing the relics and thinking about the sages of the past can always inspire you."
Sangsang said: "Human beings are always easily immersed in such useless emotions."
Ning Que said: "Otherwise why did you bring me here?"
Sangsang said: "I brought you here because I want you to understand that even if you are as powerful as Master and as powerful as Liu Bai, you are still no match for me, and you should give up."
Listening to these words, Ning Que was silent for a long time.
He brought her back to the world of mortals to continue the teacher's battle, wanting her to become more and more human. But in the process, what she wanted to do was to make him truly surrender.
"When Liu Bai entered the road, he saw the Yellow River in front of us."
Ning Que said: "When I entered Taoism, I saw an ocean. From this perspective, as long as I practice diligently, one day in the future, I will be able to surpass Liu Bai, and I can do things that he has not done."
Sangsang said: "You were able to sense a sea when we first met just because I was by your side that night. It doesn't mean that your cultivation talent is really that high. You are overthinking it."
Ning Que was a little annoyed and said, "You don't care what I think."
