Volume Five, The Pen of God, Chapter 109, It's Really Ugly
At this time, smart girls generally don’t speak, they just look a little embarrassed. A smarter girl will probably take advantage of the opportunity to snuggle into the man’s arms. Only overly smart girls will ask the question:
It looks good, is it a flower or me?
Sangsang would not ask such questions, and there was no shame on his face, nor would he snuggle into Ning Que's arms. She seemed to have heard nothing and walked straight to the other end of the Yaping.
Ning Que was a little disappointed, but when he saw the little white flowers on her temples trembling gently in the dusk wind, he noticed that she did not mean to pick the flowers, he felt very satisfied and very happy.
"Have you seen my second senior brother?"
He opened the dense green vines and chased Sangsang and asked. In his opinion, the second senior brother should have meditated on the top of the peak or the precepts academy. Sangsang should have seen it while searching for Buddha.
Sangsang did not turn around, and continued to move forward with his hands behind his back, saying, "Idiot."
Ning Que couldn't remember how many times she called him an idiot. His anger had already turned into numbness and he shook his head helplessly. When he saw the picture below the mountain, he realized that he was really an idiot.
The dusk is getting deeper, and the sinkhole surrounded by the cliff becomes extremely dark. Only on the fields close to the mountain peaks can you vaguely see the picture because of the reflection on the roof of the yellow temple.
There were countless black dots moving slowly on the field under the mountain, looking like hard-working ants, Ning Que knew that those were the farmers he and Sangsang had met before.
That year, beside the Tiankeng, based on the scenes seen, Ning Que estimated that there were more than a thousand monks in the Hanging Temple, and at least more than 100,000 people lived in the wilderness to maintain this Buddhist country. Now when he came to Hanging Temple, he discovered this
There are countless temples in the mountain peak, and the monks offered to them are far beyond their imagination, with at least tens of thousands of people. This means that there are only a fear that millions of farmers will live in the dark underground world for generations.
To maintain the existence of the hanging temple, monks must drive these farmers like livestock. In this sense, those farmers are more like serfs that have long been abolished in the Central Plains.
The more difficult the place is, the stricter the class is. Ning Que looked at the slowly moving black dots at the foot of the peak and understood that the serfs must be offering daily offerings to the monks. The expression on his face gradually became solemn, as if he had seen it.
Those tragic scenes that were not really seen.
He and Sangsang only looked at the Hanging Temple and left quietly. At that time, he thought. If he were a wise and brave man, he might climb down the cliff and secretly go to the miserable world under the clouds to launch the serfs uprisings.
Rebellion and overthrow this deformed Hanging Temple, like an ant cave, but he is not.
Someone is very wise and brave.
That person is naturally the second senior brother Jun Mo.
Jun Mo left Chang'an City and came to Yunkong Temple thousands of miles away to practice Buddhism. However, with his temperament, seeing the real situation of Yunkong Temple, how could he practice Buddhism quietly?
Practicing Buddha is not worshiping Buddha. Seeing that the world is so miserable, don’t say that you kowtow in front of the Buddha and ask the Tao. You must be angry and draw your sword. First, kill the monk and the Buddha in the temple!
Ning Que was looking for Jun Mo's figure in the Hanging Temple, no wonder Sangsang said he was an idiot.
"Senior brother must be below." He looked at the increasingly dark world at the foot of the mountain. He said, "I want to go there to see him, do you want to go with me."
Sangsang came to Hanging Temple to find the Buddha. He thought she would not be willing to spend time with him to find the second senior brother, but he did not expect that she would agree.
I climbed the peak last night and fell again tonight. Due to my different moods, the Huangmiao Temple Hall I saw along the way naturally had a different appearance. In Ning Que's eyes, it was no different from the White Bone Mountain in the Demon Sect Mountain Gate.
When he climbed the mountain last night, he saw the temple magnificent and solemn. He thought that this was a Buddhist holy place, Hanging Temple, and thought it was natural. Now he knew that it was not the case. Hanging Temple was isolated from the world, but it could be so rich and peerless. That was the serfs under the peak that they had absorbed
The more gorgeous the temples are, the more miserable the world under the mountain is.
Walk down the giant peak, away from the ancient temple of the Buddha Kingdom, and come to the real miserable world. The green and pleasant fields in yesterday's eyes seemed so gloomy in the night at this time.
The night could not completely cover Ning Que's eyes. He and Sangsang walked forward silently, their eyes slowly swept through the fields, saw fields with alien rice, steaming underground rivers, and even saw several mountains.
But these mountains are too inconspicuous compared to the giant peaks, just like mounds.
At the turn of the river, he saw the place where gold sand was scattered, and many arms that were cut off by sharp weapons. Behind the hill, he saw the gems and jade in the grass, and also saw the food being pecked by vultures
The corpse of the bones can occasionally be heard strange birds.
The fields are not dark, you can see many bonfires radiating brightly, tents and sip houses scattered on the ground, and the fat nobleman, as fat as a pig, hangs all kinds of gem necklaces on his body, holding a skull in his hands, making of silver inlaid
The wine utensils, covered with mud, stepped on the girl's naked breasts.
No matter which tribe it is, there are always many powerful men standing beside the nobles. Those men hold whips and sharp knives in their hands. Sometimes the whips fall on the body of cattle and sheep, and more often they fall.
On the female slave, sharp knife is sometimes used to cut mutton, but more often it is stabbed into the female slave man or old father's chest. Blood and wine are mixed together, and the nobles seem so happy, those cowardly and numb.
The serfs could only keep kneeling to the temples in the mountains, like useless ants.
It’s okay to be cowardly, but it’s understandable to be numb, but when the serfs used their hands to dedicate the most precious gold and silver and the most chaste daughter to the monks, their expressions seemed so happy.
There are not many monks in the wilderness and have a status that is unimaginable to noble people. They sit in a warm yurt, their palms gently land on the heads of believers, or on the girl kneeling beside them. The picture looks a bit weird
The sacred and obscene are mixed together, very mysterious but still dirty.
Ning Que looked at the tent in the distance, listened to the chants and moans coming from there, and shook his head after a moment of silence, and said, "It's so ugly."
The little white flowers on Sangsang's temples trembled gently in the night wind.
He looked at her and asked, "Why?"
Ning Que has a deep understanding of the ugly and miserable side of the world. He has seen so many of them since childhood, but he cannot understand why such a social structure is extremely unstable. Why can it last for so many years? Why can people living here endure so many years?
Even seemed very happy.
"I said, this is a well."
Sangsang looked at the cliff in the night sky in the distance and said, "When they were sitting in a well and watching the sky, they could see nothing. When they saw the monks on the mountain, they thought they were the true Buddha, and the Buddha's trick was the most lie."
Ning Que thought for a while and said, "The second senior brother is right, monks deserve to die."
Sangsang said: "The academy has always only looked at the sky, regardless of the world."
There was no sarcastic expression on her face, but Ning Que knew what she wanted to say, but even if he was just as ruthless as he did, he could not make any excuses after seeing this miserable world.
"You said it right."
He said, "But since the second senior brother is here, the academy will definitely take care of it."
Because I have to see, Ning Que and Sangsang walked slowly until the next morning, when the morning light illuminated the hanging temple between the peaks, and they were still a long way from the cliff.
The closer you are to the cliff and the further away from the peak where the Hanging Temple is, the lower the temperature and the poorer the products are. The more enslaved the serfs are, and the more miserable life is.
The agricultural products in the fields gradually became rare, and the cold-resistant weeds gradually flourished. They dragged gray and long-haired cattle and sheep to walk slowly among the meadows. There were piles of stones among the grass, with tattered cloth banners hanging on them.
When I came the day before yesterday, Ning Que had seen some stone piles and cloth banners, but he didn't pay much attention. When he walked by nearby, he found that there were black blood stains and a faint fishy smell on the stone pile.
Walking further, he and Sangsang saw more disabled serfs who had been tortured. Some people's tongues were cut, some people's ears were cut, and some people's calf bones were directly broken. All kinds of miserable and all kinds of miserable
, It looks really miserable and ugly, I can't bear to watch it again.
Ning Que knew that his senior brother must be in the most difficult place, so he knew that he had not taken the wrong path. Sangsang could not find the Buddha, so he wanted to find someone, so he took him to the depths of the meadow.
The meadow is filled with cattle and sheep, as beautiful as clouds, but the color is a bit incorrect. There must be dilapidated yurts not far from the flock. There are often lakes behind the houses. The lake water is blue, and I don’t know if it is salty or sweet.
A lake naturally overflowed, and a large wetland was leached, with the aquatic plants extremely abundant. A little girl in a dirty old leather jacket waved her whip and drove away her four lambs.
Ning Que and Sangsang looked at the little girl and subconsciously thought of Tang Xiaotang.
It was probably the first time the little girl saw a stranger, but she was not afraid at all. She waved to them with a smile. The smile on her dark little face was so clean, and her teeth were so white that it made her look dizzy.
Ning Que looked at her and smiled.
The little girl drove the four lambs to them, without saying a word, took Ning Que's hand, and took him and Sangsang to the yurt, meaning that they would be visiting.
This field is deep underground, isolated from the world, without seeing outsiders, and outsiders can't find it at all, but this is still the world.
Ning Que thought about the cruel scenes he saw this night, and then looked at the little girl holding his hand, and suddenly thought of the ruined Weicheng and the young men and women dancing by the bonfire outside Weicheng.
Hell and heaven are all in the world.
Sangsang said: "Ignorance is innocence, innocence is cruelty. Can't you see through it?"
Ning Que said: "Even if that's the case, why bother to say it out loud?"
At this moment, he saw the picture on the other side of the lake.
There was a dark place where people were kneeling around a monk.
The monk was wearing a dirty, yellow monk's robe, and the sleeves on his right arm kept swaying in the wind.
If it is someone else, this outfit is naturally ugly, but with his elegant and elegant look, it looks so upright and straight, and no one can tell any fault.

I, I saw it, never replied, and then suddenly found that it is good to use it here.) (To be continued.)
