"This snow seems to be unfair to me, but it is actually unfair to Xia Hou."
Ning Que looked at the other side of the lake and the snow on the lake. He shook his head and continued, "His Majesty took away the array eye pestle, which naturally doesn't make me happy. But it is fair. My cultivation state is far lower than Xia Hou's, so it seems unfair. But in fact, I have prepared for 15 years, and he doesn't know that there is a person like me in the world who has been watching him silently. So the unfairness here is even. "
"As long as this battle is limited to me and him, then I will admit that it is fair."
Sangsang held the handle of the big black umbrella tightly and shrank her body to ensure that the umbrella would not be blown away by the violent snow. She whispered, "Young master, are you worried that someone will intervene?"
"After all, Xia Hou is a visiting professor of Haotian Taoism besides being a general of the Empire. I always feel that someone will interrupt this battle. I did feel something when I held the array eye pestle."
Ning Que thought of his peers in the Academy and said, "But I am not worried, because this is Chang 'an and not other places. As long as the Academy is still in the south of the city, no one is qualified to intervene."
…
…
Perhaps some forces wanted to intervene in this battle, but more people were just silently waiting for the battle to begin by the Yanming Lake, such as Ye Su who had left the small Taoist temple.
The best place to watch a battle was, of course, a high place. At this time, he was on the city wall of Chang 'an, and his plain white robe was fluttering in the night snow.
Many people thought that the West-Hill Divine Palace did not want to see the battle between Xia Hou and Ning Que. In fact, the envoy of the Divine Hall had indeed raised objections to the imperial palace, but he, who came to Chang 'an on behalf of Haotian Taoism, could ignore the Divine Hall's attitude. Although he also wanted to see Xia Hou retire safely, he did not mind the battle happening.
Because no matter how Ye Su deduced, he could not imagine that Ning Que could win.
It was good that Xia Hou could win.
It was better that Xia Hou killed Ning Que and offended the Academy.
Because then, he could no longer stay in the Tang Empire and retire peacefully, nor could he waver on the wall. He could only pledge his loyalty to Haotian Taoism.
"Although the Dao Sect's idea is good, we must first ensure that Xiahou can win."
A voice rang out from the top of the city wall. This person spoke very slowly, but his voice was still very clear in the snowstorm. It seemed to be able to calm people's hearts.
Eldest Brother walked to Ye Su's side and looked in the direction of the dark Yanming Lake below the city wall.
Ye Su said, "We just met in the morning, and you're here again?"
Eldest Brother said, "Yes, I'm here to take a look."
Ye Su asked, "What are you here to see?"
Eldest Brother looked at Ye Su and said with a smile, "Now that your sword style is calm, there is no one else but Mr. Liu Bai who can beat you in Chang 'an. That's why I came to see you."
Looking at you is actually looking at you.
Ye Su looked at the falling snow in front of the city wall and said expressionlessly, "No one in Chang 'an is my match, but there is an Academy outside the city."
…
…
Tonight, the wind and snow were furious. Many people were sitting peacefully in the snow.
The Third Minister of Offerings of Qinghe County sat in the winter forest on the east bank of Yanming Lake.
The night snow fell from the sky. He looked indifferent, as if he did not feel the coldness around him.
Considering the interests of the Qinghe County families and Her Highness, he could not allow anyone to disturb this battle. However, he had a feeling earlier, so he came to the forest and waited silently.
A monk walked slowly in the night snow.
It was dark in the forest, but the monk's cotton kasaya and the bamboo hat on his head could be clearly seen, naturally revealing a sense of righteousness.
The Third Minister of Offerings looked at the monk walking in the wind and snow and frowned slightly.
A few years ago, he was already a Grand Cultivator in the Knowing Destiny State. However, at this moment, he found that he could not see through the monk's depth. He could not help but be extremely vigilant and have a desire to fight.
When powerhouses confronted each other, they fought for a moment. There was no need for any verbal probing, nor was there a need to ask about the origin of the mountain. The Third Minister of Offerings reached behind him and pulled out the hilt of his sword.
The sword rubbed against the edge of the scabbard, making a very subtle sound, like snowflakes falling on a thick layer of snow. However, the sword was only pulled out halfway before it was forced to stop.
The Third Minister of Offerings' eyebrows gradually rose. His hand holding the hilt of his sword trembled slightly, and all the cultivation in his body spurted out.
However, the sword in the scabbard behind him did not continue to be pulled out. Instead, it slowly returned to the scabbard.
The sound of the sword rubbing against the scabbard was as quiet as falling snow, but it made his heart palpitate.
The monk wearing the bamboo hat walked slowly in the wind and snow and was only a few feet away from him.
The Third Minister of Offerings' body was extremely stiff. His hand holding the hilt of his sword trembled like a withered branch in the snow. Looking at the monk, there was only fear left in his usually proud eyes.
The monk did not make any move. There was no change in the aura of Heaven and Earth in the snow forest. He just walked slowly and yet a Grand Cultivator in the Knowing Destiny State could not pull out his sword!
The Third Minister of Offerings was extremely shocked. He could not imagine any cultivator in the world who could have such a skill. In a flash, he guessed the monk's origin and his pupils shrank.
Someone from the Xuankong Temple?
The Third Priest looked at the monk who was getting closer and closer. He looked at the monk's gentle and determined eyes. His stiff body began to tremble slightly in fear.
He let out a muffled groan and his face suddenly turned red. His skinny fingers suddenly spread out and escaped the traces of the aura of Heaven and Earth floating in the snow forest. He wanted to escape from the monk's control.
The monk raised his right palm in front of him. He bent his index finger slightly and made an unknown Emblematic Gesture.
The wind and snow in the winter forest suddenly became stronger.
Thousands of snowflakes seemed to fall on the Third Minister of Offerings of Qinghe County.
The snowflakes sensed the supreme power of the monk's Emblematic Gesture and sank into the Third Minister of Offerings' clothes. They turned into countless invisible snow ropes and tied him up.
The monk glanced at him, his eyes full of benevolence and pity. Then he started walking again, stepping on the thick snow, walking past him, as if he was walking towards the lakeside outside the winter forest.
The Third Minister of Offerings sat alone in the snow. He could not move at all. His flushed cheeks had already become extremely pale. His eyes were filled with shame and fear.
He was the respected Ancestor of Qinghe County. After his cultivation entered the Knowing destiny State, he became even more arrogant and confident. He did not even have much respect for the legendary Unknown Place like the Academy.
On this snowy night, he finally met a monk from the Unknown Place. He finally understood that a legend was just a legend. In front of the monk, even a Grand Cultivator in the Knowing destiny State did not have the slightest qualification to be arrogant.
The Third Minister of Offerings thought of how he had boasted shamelessly in the Princess Mansion. He said that he wanted to create some disputes between the Academy and Haotian Taoism. Now, he was tied up in the snow by the monk's Emblematic Gesture. He could not help but feel endless shame and wished that he could die.
…
…
On the high city wall, Ye Su waved his hand to disperse the snowflakes within 50 feet in front of him. He looked at the dark forest by the Yanming Lake and said coldly, "That idiot from Qinghe County is extremely stupid. Even a small stemborer wants to be involved in the torrent. It's really disgusting."
The Eldest Brother smiled and did not say anything.
Ye Su said, "I wanted to kill that idiot. But since the mute has taken action, forget it."
The Eldest Brother shook his head and said, "How can I watch you violate the laws of the Tang Empire?"
Ye Su smiled slightly when he heard the words "the laws of the Tang Empire".
Eldest Brother looked at the shore of Yanming Lake and thought of the monk who was walking through the winter forest to the lakeside. He said, "The battle between Youngest Brother and General Xiahou is probably a grand event in the eyes of many people in the world. That is why you came to Chang 'an. I just hope that nothing happens to Youngest Brother."
Ye Su said, "You know that I came to Chang 'an not because of this battle, but because of Ning Que. That mute is naturally here for Ning Que."
The Eldest Brother was very clear about what Ye Su wanted to say, but he remained silent and did not answer.
Ye Su looked at the Yanming Lake and suddenly said with emotion, "Those people who appeared around the black line 15 years ago … except for Tang, all of us are here."
The Eldest Brother said, "Actually, Tang is here too. The injuries on General Xiahou were all caused by him. So even though he did not come, his fists did. "
Ye Su said, "That makes sense. But even if Xiahou has countless fists left by Tang, in my opinion, Ning Que still has no chance in this cross-state battle."
"I know what you want to say and what you are worried about. I respect Youngest Brother, so I will not do anything."
The Eldest Brother smiled and said, "Of course, I know that if Youngest Brother knew what the Academy is thinking, he would definitely cry and beg me not to respect him."
Ye Su said, "What does Mr. Second mean by stopping Xu Shi on the snow bridge?"
The Eldest Brother said, "It means fairness."
Ye Su said, "Xiahou is far more powerful than Ning Que. Does the Academy think this is also fair?"
The Eldest Brother said, "Teacher once taught us that fairness is the intention and has nothing to do with strength. As long as both sides are willing to do so and accept the rules, then it is fair."
Ye Su was silent for a long time as he thought of the words of the Headmaster of the Academy.
Then he looked at the night forest by the Yanming Lake and frowned slightly. He said, "If that mute wants to speak, there are few people in this world who can stop him."
Ye Su turned to look at him and asked, "Jun Mo is stopping Xu Shi, and you are looking at me. Then who can stop him? I will not stop him. And the moment he speaks, even I cannot stop him. Do we need to alarm the Headmaster of the Academy? "
The Eldest Brother looked at the lake in the cold winter night and frowned in silence.
…
…
The snow was dancing. The monk walked in the forest towards the Yanming Lake.
Fifteen years ago, in front of the black line, he smiled slightly, chewed his tongue and swallowed it. He never spoke again and had been practicing the Silent Meditation ever since.
Tonight, he stepped into the mortal world again. No one knew if he would speak or what he would say. People only knew that he had been silent for fifteen years. Once he opened his mouth, the Buddha's voice would be as clear as thunder.
Even Ye Su, the powerful successor of the Zhishou Abbey, did not want to hear the first sentence he would say.
Who would talk to the monk?
Did the Headmaster of the Academy really need to come down the mountain?
At this moment, a very thin layer of snow fell from the night forest.
The snow was extremely thin, so thin that it was translucent, like a cicada's wing.
