In winter, the drainage in this street and alley has been fully renovated. Although it cannot be as heavy rain as the Southern Jin Palace, the continuous spring rain in the past few days did not leave too many traces here, proving that it is in the leaves.
Under Su's leadership, the believers' labor finally received gratifying rewards.
Sangsang walked by the streets and alleys with his hands on his back, and Tang Xiaotang followed her, her black braids swaying in the spring breeze, just like her mood at this moment, it was still difficult to calm down.
She and Sangsang are indeed the best friends, but Sangsang is now Haotian and she is from the Demon Sect. No matter how you look at the friendship between you once was, it is impossible for Sangsang to continue, so what exactly do you want to do when you take her out?
Tang Xiaotang is not used to his former black and thin friend, and he is now white and fat, and is not used to the silence along the way. He gently kicks the stones on the street, as if he is bored, but in fact he is talking to relieve his nervousness.
When he walked to a vegetable shop at the entrance of the street, Sangsang suddenly stopped and said, "He is a useless person now."
Tang Xiaotang was stunned for a moment before she understood who she was talking about, and said, "You locked the snow mountain and the sea of Qi, and your body is weak. I like to stay in bed every day, and it's really gone."
Sangsang walked into the vegetable shop, looked at the vegetables on the shelf without any special places, and said, "I left Taoshan, I think the temple has begun to chase you."
Tang Xiaotang said, "Yes, Qinghe is blocked very tightly, otherwise we would have returned to Chang'an long ago."
Sangsang stopped, turned to look at her and asked, "So, why?"
Tang Xiaotang was a little puzzled and asked, "What, why?"
Sangsang said, "Everything is determined by destiny. Why do you still have to go to Taoshan to save him, and why do you still have to accompany him to wander around the world? If you are willing to surrender to me, I am willing to give you eternal life."
In a very inconspicuous vegetable shop in Linkang City, amid the mix of various vegetable flavors and muddy smells, she said calmly in the posture of Haotian that she would give the other party eternal life.
Tang Xiaotang was stunned for a long time before he woke up and said unnaturally: "It feels so sudden... Let's buy the vegetables for the evening first?"
At this moment, the female vendor of the vegetable shop recognized who she was and greeted her enthusiastically and slightly humbly. When she looked at some vegetables, she grabbed them and put them in the vegetable basket.
Sangsang was a little puzzled and pointed at the Cailuan and said, "Why don't you need money to buy vegetables?"
These days, Tang Xiaotang lives with Chen Pipi and Ye Su, and he usually teaches some lessons to the children in the streets and alleys. For those living in this street, Ye Su and the Saint who live in the dilapidated house are living in the dilapidated house.
There is no difference, this kind of respect and love naturally falls on her and Chen Pipi.
The female dealer thought Sangsang was Tang Xiaotang's ordinary friend, so she patted her shoulder affectionately and said with a smile: "Where did this come from heretics? What is the value of a few vegetables?"
Sangsang noticed that the female vendor had just picked up the vegetable leaves and was carrying some turbid water, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Tang Xiaotang quickly pulled the female dealer to her side, smiled and said a few words, asking her to do it herself first, then looked at Sangsang and said nervously, "Don't be angry."
Sangsang said, "I just don't understand. The poorer the people are, the more stingy they are."
Tang Xiaotang thought that Sangsang was the most stingy when he was still a human being, but he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sometimes I like it so much, I want to use these to express my kindness."
Sangsang thought for a while and said, "Just like a Taoist believer, who has dedicated his wealth and life to me?"
Tang Xiaotang said: "It's almost the same, but... it's still a bit bad."
Sangsang asked, "Where is the difference?"
Tang Xiaotang thought for a while and said, "Like and awe?"
Sangsang suddenly felt a little unhappy, and then she suddenly realized that she had actually started to care about being liked by others, so she became even more unhappy.
The vegetable basket was stuffed with vegetables. Tang Xiaotang wanted to pay, but the female dealer firmly refused.
Walking out of the vegetable shop, Sangsang said, "You haven't answered my previous question yet."
"Why?"
Tang Xiaotang stretched out his empty hand, held her hand, looked at her and said sympathetically: "You and Ning Que have gone to so many places, haven't you figured it out yet?"
Sangsang said, "It's different. If he dies, I will die too, so I have to follow him."
Tang Xiaotang smiled and said, "It's actually the same. If he dies, I don't want to live anymore."
Sangsang thought for a while and said, "Humans are so stupid."
Tang Xiaotang said: "Actually, I'm very happy when I get stupid."
Sangsang looked at her hand and said, "You sympathize with me, which makes me very upset. You touched my body, which makes me very upset, so I don't understand, what is there to be happy about stupidity."
Tang Xiaotang smiled and said, "You are alive and not good for the academy or Mingzong, but I am very happy to see you are still alive. Is this the joy brought by stupidity?"
...
...
The two women went to have a heart-to-heart talk while the three men in the dilapidated house were relatively silent. It would be great to know that they were all alive, and it was really not important how they survived.
Chen Pipi looked at Ning Que and asked worriedly: "Is she willing to go back to Chang'an with you?"
Ning Que shook his head and said, "She hasn't said it, but it's always getting closer to Chang'an City."
Chen Pipi said: "Does she know what the academy wants to do?"
Ning Que said: "The teacher said that Haotian knows everything."
Chen Pipi was silent for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, you have no chance of winning."
Ning Que looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window and said, "The teacher also said that there are many things in this world, and even if you know that it is impossible to do it, you will do it."
Chen Pipi said: "Uncle Junior is such a person, and the teacher is such a person. You and I may grow into such a person in the future, but this cannot affect her because she is not a human at all."
Ning Que said: "I hope she can make her own choice."
Chen Pipi said: "No one will make the choice to destroy himself."
Ning Que laughed and said, "You just said that she is not a human being."
Chen Pipi said: "Even so, what do you do?"
Ning Que's emotions became a little complicated and he said, "I hope I can find a solution by then. The solution I originally thought of now seems not to work."
Chen Pipi said, "Can you not be able to repair the God-Shocking Formation without her?"
Ning Que said: "The person who tied the bell must be untied. During the years she lived in Chang'an City, she destroyed the God of Shocking Formation with her footsteps and breath. Now she naturally needs to go there again."
Chen Pipi looked at him quietly and said, "I just hope you don't regret it then. If you want to regret it, you might as well take advantage of the moment and you will never be able to avoid it."
Ning Que said: "I left Chang'an and went to Taoshan to pick her up. I was already mentally prepared. If I really needed to make a choice on that day, it would be very simple."
Chen Pipi heard the determination hidden in his words and sighed speechlessly.
Ye Su didn't say anything, quietly looking at the streets and the sky outside the window, with a clear smile on his thin face, and his pale face was washed with light and extremely gentle.
He suddenly said, "Compet with the sky, all he can do is to calculate is himself."
Ning Que looked at him and asked sincerely: "Then do we have to do nothing?"
Ye Su turned around and said with a smile: "It is more important to do your own thing well than anything else. As the saying goes, Haotian's return to Haotian and the world's return to the world, what does it matter?"
Haotian’s return to Haotian, and the world’s return to the world, this is his way.
Ning Que was enlightened and asked again: "The Xiling Temple will definitely not allow you to continue preaching. Even Jiange cannot protect you all the time. What are you going to do next?"
Ye Su said: "Linkang City is getting better, I'm ready to leave."
Chen Pipi knew that his senior brother was leaving Linkang for the first time, and was very surprised.
"Are you going to Chang'an?"
Ning Que was also surprised and thought that since the Xiling Temple could not allow Ye Su to continue preaching, after leaving Southern Jin, only the Tang Kingdom could provide him with the soil for preaching.
"I said that the Tang Kingdom is too good, and the world is too bad."
Ye Su said calmly: "Since I want to experience the sufferings of the world and save the sufferings of the world, I naturally have to go to the places where the real sufferings are and to know those sufferings."
The sunlight penetrated the window and landed on him. The thin and old cloth shirt seemed to shine. The chopstick inserted in the bun seemed to be more beautiful than the most expensive ebony.
Ning Que suddenly said, "Do you remember the first time we met?"
Ye Su shook his head. He and Ning Que met for the first time at the foot of Tianqi Mountain in the wasteland. At that time, he was still walking proudly at the Taoist sect. He saw the position of the senior brother and had no impression of Ning Que at all.
"I have a very deep impression of you." Ning Que looked at him and said, "I have never seen a person so lonely, as if his feet are not standing on the ground of the world, but on another world, and he clearly knows that
I am alive, but I feel that I have been dead for many years. This statement is not accurate. It should be said that in my eyes, you seemed to be a living person and a dead person. I think you are pitiful."
Ye Su laughed and said, "I should be even more pitiful now."
Ning Que shook his head and said, "No, although you are far from as strong as you were back then, you are weak and pale, and almost useless, but you are not pitiful at all, because you will become a saint."
Ye Su said: "A saint will come out for a thousand years, and you have passed."
Ning Que said, "If you can make everyone sanctify, you will naturally be a saint."
At this moment, the door of the broken house was pushed open. Tang Xiaotang carried the vegetable basket and said happily: "Look at how many dishes Sangsang and I have brought back, and what leftovers are there to eat!"
Dinner is very simple, mainly with vegetables, because there are indeed many vegetables.
In order not to make Haotian feel deceived, Chen Pipi went to the butcher shop to cut a piece of pork belly, made a bowl of cabbage and bangzi to make pork slices, and then went to the next door to pick up two buckets of light wine.
Meat and wine are the best for fun. Soon, the atmosphere in the broken house became flying. Ning Que's alcohol content was extremely poor, and he had already felt very happy. He took advantage of the wine to pull paper and grind ink and wrote half an inscription on the humble room.
"The mountain is not high, but there are immortals, but there are names; the water is not deep; there are dragons, but the spirit is spirit. This is a humble room, but my virtue is full of goodness."
Sangsang, with his hands on his back, looked at the letters quietly, and suddenly asked, "Who am I?"
Ning Que said annoyedly: "What do you ask me about this kind of philosophical question?"
Sangsang pointed to the word "公" on the paper.
Ning Que then realized it, pointed at Ye Su and was about to speak. Suddenly, she remembered that since she asked this question, she must have expectations. She changed the subject and said, "I am naturally not me."
"Who is that?"
"I am you, you are me, who are you talking about?"
Although Sangsang knew that he was lying, he was still quite satisfied.
Chen Pipi was very dissatisfied and said sadly: "Looking at this sentence first, I just feel that you are still so shameless and stinky. Then I listen to your explanation and find that you have fallen into this."
Ning Que was furious and said, "I just don't have any seeds, so why bother?"
Everyone said goodbye.
Sangsang naturally couldn't stand this kind of vulgarity in the world and stood in the distance with his hands behind his back.
Chen Pipi looked at Ning Que and said, "Take care all the way."
"I know, just look at her and know that it will be extremely heavy if it doesn't get light."
Ning Que responded with a smile and walked to Sangsang.
Sangsang suddenly turned around, looked at Ye Su and said, "You will be burned to death."
At this time, the dusk was thick, and the remaining clouds were like blood and like flames.
Ye Su stood in the twilight, as if in the flames.
