The Big Black Horse had been living in the Great Green Mountain this winter.
It did not feel lost after leaving Ning Que's side, nor did it have any problems in life. Instead, it was free from the Confinement. It chewed flowers, ate meat, slept lazily, and basked in the sun all day long. It was so happy that even the dark clouds that shrouded Chaoyang City only worried it for half a day.
However, recently, countless powerhouses gathered in Chaoyang City like the pictures in the sky. Especially since this morning, when the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the city was in chaos, it knew that its happy time was coming to an end. It had no choice but to find the bushes, endure the thorns, and dig the ground covered with thick leaves.
Its front hooves were very powerful. Once it kicked with all its strength, it was much more powerful than the hoes of ordinary laborers. It did not take long for it to kick away all the leaves and dig out the pit.
The black carriage lay quietly in the pit. Except for some dust, it was not damaged at all. The lasso and shafts were slightly erected in front of it, indicating that it had long been prepared.
The Big Black Horse sighed and lowered its head to get into the lasso. Then it exerted all its strength and stamped its four hooves on the slanting wall. It spent a lot of effort and finally dragged the heavy carriage to the ground.
It dragged the carriage out of the thorns and through the dense forest. It was slightly relieved when it did not see any tourists along the way. Then it realized why there were no tourists and became very worried. It came to the grassy slope in the south and looked toward Chaoyang City. It panted slightly and waited nervously.
After waiting for a long time, it finally heard the familiar whistle.
The whistle was very soft, but the Big Black Horse heard it clearly. In its world, the whistle was a rope that would bring it to its death. To its annoyance, it had thought that it hated the whistle, but after hearing it, it found that it could not help but be excited. It could not help but feel ashamed.
With such complicated feelings, the Big Black Horse neighed violently and dragged the heavy black carriage along the grassy slope in the south of the Great Green Mountain toward the field outside Chaoyang City angrily.
When it rushed to the field, it saw at least hundreds of cavalrymen rushing out of Chaoyang City and chasing after that figure. It could not help but become angrier. It panted fiercely and sped up again.
On the vast field north of the city, hundreds of cavalrymen of the Yuelun Kingdom came with the wind and dust. Their hooves were as dense as rain, and their momentum was astonishing. They formed a huge fan.
About a thousand feet in front of the fan, Ning Que kept running with Sangsang on his back. He listened to the clear and loud hoofbeats behind him and watched the black horse carriage getting closer and closer. He was very nervous.
Seeing that the situation was dangerous, the Big Black Horse neighed violently. Dragging the heavy carriage, it sped up again and turned into a cloud of black smoke. It arrived before the Yuelun Kingdom cavalry swallowed the figure.
Ning Que lowered his body and jumped into the black horse carriage like lightning.
At this time, hundreds of cavalrymen of the Yuelun Kingdom had also caught up with the black carriage. If the carriage could not stop, it would immediately be surrounded by these cavalrymen.
The Big Black Horse neighed again. Its thick lips trembled violently in the wind. Its big white teeth, which still had some rabbit meat left from last night, looked especially scary in the light. It suddenly jumped to the left.
The Yuelun Kingdom's war horses at the front heard the horse's neigh and looked at it. For some reason, they felt a chill in their bodies. Their legs suddenly weakened and they fell to the ground with a thud, causing a cloud of smoke and dust to splash.
The Big Black Horse forced a turn, but the heavy carriage continued to move forward according to inertia. With a very strong force, the rope was deeply tied around its smooth neck, leaving a bloody mark and a few strands of its hair falling off.
With another violent neigh, the Big Black Horse used all its muscles and forcibly stopped the carriage from moving forward. The carriage tilted and was about to fall. The steel wheels that were deeply embedded in the soil shook up a lot of soil on the ground.
The soil was like stones, smashing on the faces of the Yuelun Kingdom's war horses that were rushing at the front but luckily did not fall. For a moment, only the frightened neighs of the horses could be heard.
The fan-shaped charge of hundreds of cavalrymen was gradually disrupted.
The carriage tilted the moment Ning Que jumped into the carriage with Sangsang on his back. It was extremely dangerous and he fell twice. At this time, he finally managed to stabilize his body and hit a spot on the carriage wall with his palm.
The crystal in his palm was embedded in the talisman array in the carriage wall. A paper talisman turned into green smoke between his fingers. The talisman power suddenly came out and helped the talisman array on the carriage wall to activate at a high speed. There was a very slight sound, like a feather floating in the air, and the heavy carriage suddenly became much lighter.
The steel wheels floated out of the ground. The Big Black Horse was the first to notice the change. It neighed happily and kicked its four hooves as fast as lightning, dragging the carriage towards the north like a light cloud of dust.
The Big Black Horse's speed was really unreasonably fast. Once the talisman array on the carriage was activated, no one in the world could catch up with it except for cultivators in the Distanceless State. The hundreds of cavalrymen of the Yuelun Kingdom were already dumbfounded by the black smoke, not to mention catching up with it.
As the Big Black Horse galloped wildly, it turned its head to look at the silly war horses and cavalrymen of the Yuelun Kingdom in the distance and neighed arrogantly. It thought to itself, Are they stupid to compete with me in speed?
When it passed by the Daqing Mountain, its complacency turned into reluctance and regret. It thought to itself that if it left today, whether it fled with Ning Que or returned to the back of the mountain of the Academy, it would never be able to enjoy such happiness again.
Thinking of this, the Big Black Horse could not help but sigh and neighed loudly.
In the Daqing Mountain, the birds and beasts, tigers, leopards, wolves, and bears, who had been humiliated and harmed for a whole winter, trembled with joy when they heard the horse's neigh. They thought to themselves that the master had finally left and he should never come back.
…
…
The black carriage left Chaoyang City. The dark cloud that had shrouded the city for a whole winter also slowly left Chaoyang City and moved towards the north in the high sky.
The cloud layer was very high, so it seemed to be moving slowly, but in fact, it was moving at an amazing speed. Master Qi Mei withdrew his gaze from the sky and took the reins from his side. He led dozens of ascetic monks and chased towards the north. However, he knew the speed of the black carriage under the cloud layer and knew that he and his people would not be able to catch up with it.
The dark cloud left, and the sunshine that had not been seen for many days finally sprinkled generously on Chaoyang City. The people of Chaoyang City rarely saw the blue sky, but they did not show any joy.
Under the blue sky, the White Tower that had regained its clear light looked exceptionally beautiful. The lake reflected the skylight and the shadows of the trees. There was still a lot of blood on the ground, and the corpses of the people had been moved away.
On the open space by the lake, the Eldest Brother appeared. He was coughing desperately and painfully. He coughed so hard that he bent over, as if he was going to cough out his lungs.
He could not cough out his lungs, but he could cough out blood. In just a moment, the snow-white handkerchief in his hand that covered his mouth had become dark red, as if it had been red since the beginning.
In the cultivation world, the Eldest Brother of the Academy was a legend.
Few people had seen him fight, but the two World Wayfarers, Ye Su and Tang, had always regarded him as their cultivation goal. It could be imagined how high his state was. However, his opponent today was the Chief Preaching Monk of Xuankong Temple, the Buddha in the human world, and a figure who had become a legend.
After all, a legend was not a myth.
It was already very incredible that the Eldest Brother could break the Chief Preaching Monk's Buddhist words and force him to stay where he was, creating an opportunity for Ning Que to escape.
However, he had not rested for a whole year. He used the Limitless State to search for Ning Que and Sangsang in all the Buddhist temples, Taoist temples, and cities in the world. He was extremely tired, and his state showed signs of instability. After today's battle, he was seriously injured, and it was very likely that it would affect his future cultivation.
Even so, his expression was still gentle and indifferent, and there was a purity between his eyebrows that made people want to get close to him. Except for the occasional frown when he coughed, he did not have any extra emotions.
Today's battle between the leader of the Buddhism Sect and Mr. First of the Academy was so magical that it was beyond description. It was absolutely qualified to be recorded in the history of cultivation, or drawn into the myths of the Buddhist scriptures.
Although the Chief Monk of Scripture had suffered many setbacks, his body and mind were both indestructible, so he was not injured at all. He was still a legend and the final winner. But because Ning Que had successfully escaped with the Daughter of Yama, he was also a loser.
If it were an ordinary person, he would probably be angry and want to fight again. However, the expression on the Chief Preaching Monk's face was as calm and gentle as that of the Eldest Brother, without any hint of anger.
He looked at the Eldest Brother and praised, "Fortitude and dullness are benevolence."
The Eldest Brother saluted back and said, "I'm ashamed to say that."
The Chief Preaching Monk thought of the most crucial scenes in today's battle, and said with a smile, "Children don't talk. I should have known that the Headmaster of the Academy wouldn't know the old method of Words Come True."
He looked at the Eldest Brother and asked, "When did the Headmaster of the Academy teach you the method?"
The Eldest Brother wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and answered slowly, "The Headmaster never taught me."
The Chief Preaching Monk looked at him quietly and suddenly asked, "Did you figure it out yourself?"
The Eldest Brother nodded.
The Chief Preaching Monk's silver eyebrows fluttered slightly, and he asked, "The Buddha's words have not been heard in the world for a long time. When did you figure it out?"
The Eldest Brother answered honestly, "When the Master spoke the Buddha's words."
After hearing the answer, the Chief Preaching Monk was silent for a long time. His silver eyebrows slowly fell down, and he looked at the scholar and sighed, "Hearing Tao in the morning and knowing one's destiny in the evening. It turns out that the story is actually true."
The Chief Preaching Monk stood up with his silver cane in hand, and walked slowly and heavily to the carriage.
When he reached the carriage, he turned to the Eldest Brother and said, "Ning Que and the Daughter of Yama went all the way to the north. With the black crow as the guide and the dark clouds above, you can't help him anymore. Go back to the Academy to rest."
After a moment of silence, the Eldest Brother said, "And the Headmaster."
The Chief Preaching Monk said slowly, "It is said that you, Li Manman, are so kind and benevolent that you don't even know how to lie. I didn't expect that you would learn to lie for your Youngest Brother."
Then he sighed and said, "What you said on behalf of the Headmaster of the Academy was actually your own guess. It was not the Headmaster's confirmed idea at all, so I didn't agree."
The Eldest Brother had previously told the Chief Preaching Monk about the Headmaster's opinion: If Sangsang died, the imprint of Yama in her body would be released, and then the location of the human world would be exposed to Yama. So she couldn't die.
But now the Chief Preaching Monk said that it was not the Headmaster's opinion, but his own guess.
The Eldest Brother's body stiffened slightly, and he didn't understand how the Chief Preaching Monk could tell.
