The little white wolf came out of the hole with a white cloth wrapped around its injured leg. The big white goose wobbled over from the stream. The old yellow bull opened his eyes. Fifth Brother and Eighth Brother had returned to the cliff yard.
Yu Lian took out a wooden comb from her sleeve and combed her messy hair carefully. Then she tidied up her clothes and put the comb back into her sleeve after confirming that there was no problem.
The old yellow bull slightly lowered his head. The big white goose and the little white wolf leaned forward. Fifth Brother and Eighth Brother greeted them with hands folded in front. Yu Lian returned the greeting solemnly. The autumn wind stopped and the autumn cicadas were quiet. The Academy was still the same.
"Be careful, Senior Sister." Song Qian said.
"I'll leave the Academy to you, Fifth Brother."
Yu Lian picked up the thing wrapped in cloth from the mountain road and walked out of the Academy.
…
…
Ning Que left the Princess Mansion and went to the street, ready to go to the Academy. Although there were many things to deal with in Chang 'an, he was going to the Academy to get the array eye pestle, and he was worried about the safety of the Academy.
"You don't have to go."
A young girl appeared in front of him and handed him an item wrapped in cloth.
Ning Que was very surprised. Because he recognized the cloth. It was a cheap cloth bought by Sangsang at the East Gate Market. He used it to wrap the array eye pestle of the God-stunning Array. So this cloth was the array eye pestle.
He took the array eye pestle and looked at the girl in front of him. His eyes showed vigilance and then became confused. He was sure that he had never seen her before, but he felt that he had seen her somewhere before.
With a pair of black ponytails and a beautiful face, this twelve or thirteen year old girl could be called a girl or a little girl. She was on the dividing line.
Ning Que looked into her eyes and saw her calm expression. He finally guessed who she was and could not help but be shocked speechless. He even almost threw away the array eye pestle.
…
…
Yu Lian used the simplest words to describe what happened in the Academy, especially the battle with the Hierarch of the West-Hill Divine Palace. She mainly said that the Hierarch was very short.
It was only then that Ning Que realized that the tall and majestic figure in the eyes of hundreds of millions of Taoism believers was actually just an illusion. The Hierarch Lord turned out to be a damn dwarf.
Back in the Wilderness, when he shot five people with the Primordial Thirteen Arrows, both the Great Divine Priest of Revelation and Ye Hongyu had a hard time withstanding it. However, the Hierarch did not even try to dodge.
The scene at that time brought great pressure to Ning Que. He thought to himself, "No wonder he's the most powerful cultivator in Haotian Taoism. He can even deal with the Primordial Thirteen Arrows so easily."
Only now did he understand that it was because the Sect Leader was very short and he was aiming at the figure. The iron arrow flew over the man's head, so naturally there was no need to dodge.
"Why did you let him live?" Ning Que gradually calmed down from the shock and asked.
"Some people are more useful alive than dead."
Yu Lian said, "Many years ago, when Xiong Chumo was still young, he went to the Wilderness with the seniors of Haotian Taoism. I was still young, so we fought when we met. I destroyed the Snow Mountain in his lower abdomen and made him immortal. Unexpectedly, it was a blessing in disguise. He devoted himself to cultivation and became what he is today. However, people with abnormalities always have some psychological problems. Now that he is disabled, you don't have to worry about him.
Instead, the people in the West-Hill Divine Palace will have a headache. "Just like the Hierarch and many other bigwigs in Haotian Taoism, Ning Que never thought that Third Sister was just a cultivator in the Seethrough State. Therefore, he was not surprised to know that the Academy was still under her protection. It was not until now that he finally realized that the one who was defeated by Third Sister was not an ordinary cultivator, but the Hierarch Lord of the West-Hill Divine Palace.
Who in the world could defeat the Hierarch Lord?
Ning Que was shocked after knowing the answer.
Third Sister was the Grandmaster of the Devil's Doctrine, Twenty-Three-year Cicada Cultivation!
Among the disciples on the Second floor of the Academy, Third Sister, Yu Lian was the first one he knew. They even knew each other when they went to the old library before they exchanged letters with Chen Pipi.
Over the years, he did not talk much with Yu Lian. But she would always give him advice at important moments. And it started when he was still an ordinary student before he entered the Back Mountain.
Therefore, Ning Que had always respected Third Sister, even more than Eldest Brother and Second Brother.
Walking on the long and narrow stairs of the city wall, Ning Que could not help but glance at Yu Lian after a few steps. Looking at her young face and the swaying ponytails behind her, it was hard for him to adapt to what he saw.
"Is there a flower on my face?" Yu Lian asked.
Ning Que said with a smile, "I just want to look at you a little longer. You are a famous person."
Yu Lian smiled.
Ning Que said, "No wonder the Headmaster refused to accept Tang Xiaotang as his disciple. It's because of seniority … So I am one generation older than Tang?"
Yu Lian said, "If we count from the founding father of the Enlightenment Doctrine, you are dozens of generations older than him."
Ning Que praised again, "The Third Sister of the Second floor is the Twenty-Three-year Cicada Cultivation."
Yu Lian slightly raised her eyebrows and said, "It's just a coincidence. The Headmaster doesn't care about these little tricks."
Ning Que said, "Maybe the Headmaster likes these things."
As they were talking, the Senior Sister and Junior Brother had already reached the top of the Chang 'an city wall.
Ning Que thought of something and took out an ID token from his belt.
The ID token was not made of gold, wood, or stone. It was pure white with a black pattern carved in relief. Judging from the fresh marks on the edge, it seemed to be carved not long ago.
The black pattern was a statue. The pure white periphery was like a bright light. Because the statue was facing away from the light, its face and body were immersed in deep shadows, looking very gloomy.
Ning Que asked, "This ID token was given to me by Senior Sister before I went to the Wilderness. What is carved on it?"
Yu Lian walked to the edge of the city wall and looked down at Chang 'an City. She said, "Yama, or Haotian."
Ning Que walked to her side and followed her gaze down. He said, "What ID token is this?"
Yu Lian said, "The ID token of the master of the Enlightenment Doctrine."
"The Desolate did not hesitate to exterminate their entire race to protect me and Sangsang. I have never understood why. Now it seems that it's because of this ID token. In the Front Gate of the Enlightenment Doctrine, Lian Sheng's last attack failed. Now I think it's also because of this ID token. If I think about it carefully, this ID token has saved me many times, but I didn't investigate it. How stupid of me. "
Ning Que naturally put the waist token back into his belt and did not intend to return it to Yu Lian. Then, he solemnly bowed to her to express his gratitude.
What he did not understand was why Third Sister would so casually give such an important ID token of the master of the Enlightenment Doctrine to him when he led the students of the Academy to practice in the Wilderness.
"Do you remember what I said to you when you were preparing for the opening test?" Yu Lian asked.
At that time, Ning Que was just an ordinary student of the Academy. He was preparing for the opening of the Second floor of the Academy. He was under great pressure and had a conversation with Yu Lian in the Sword Forest.
"I remember. Senior Sister said that she would introduce a powerhouse who was not weaker than Liu Bai to be my teacher."
"That's right."
"Who was she going to introduce?"
"Myself, of course."
Yu Lian said, "Your Ocean of Qi and Mountain of Snow was a mess at that time, and it's still a mess now. Besides, your talent in Talisman Taoism has not shown yet, so you are not suitable for cultivation at all. However, your bones are clear and you have amazing perseverance. You are a good candidate for the Enlightenment Doctrine's martial arts. I was tempted and wanted to pass on my mantle to you."
Ning Que only then realized what he had missed back then.
Yu Lian said, "Although you rejected me, I always felt that you would definitely walk on this path in the future. So I gave you this ID token before you went to the Wilderness. Just as I expected, you met Lotus in the Front Gate and learned Youngest Uncle's Great Spirit, but you still joined the Devil. "
Yu Lian looked at him and said, "Lotus wanted to pass on his mantle to me, but I rejected him. I wanted to pass on my mantle to you, but you also rejected me. Finally, you still inherited his mantle. It seems that there is no difference between us."
Ning Que could not help but feel a lot of emotions when he thought of the past. Then he smiled and said, "That's good. Otherwise, I would be inferior to Senior Sister."
Then he gradually stopped smiling and said, "Is it really fate?"
"I once told you that as long as you start from your own heart, you can easily overcome it. This not only refers to the checkpoints on the way to the mountain, but also something like fate. "
Yu Lian said, "On the first day I met my teacher, he told me this. He also said that I looked better as a girl and that I should accept him. So I put his words into practice on the spot and stepped on the hem of his black smock."
Ning Que asked, "And then?"
Yu Lian said expressionlessly, "I didn't overcome it, but my teacher fell flat on his face."
Ning Que felt it was very exciting and asked, "How do you feel?"
Yu Lian thought for a while and said, "I feel very good."
Ning Que asked, "Teacher wasn't angry?"
"Since I'm a girl, I naturally have the right to throw a tantrum."
Yu Lian's face was still expressionless. After a moment of silence, she continued, "I naturally understood later. I was very depressed at that time, and my teacher deliberately fell to make me happy."
It was quiet on the city wall for a long time.
…
…
Yu Lian looked down at Chang 'an City and asked, "What problem did you see?"
Under the current tense situation, no matter how shocking or nostalgic it was, it would not make Ning Que and her waste so much time to discuss it. They were here to see the scenery.
Yu Lian took him to see the scenery of Chang 'an City.
Ning Que looked at the city that was more deserted than usual, looked at the wide and quiet streets, and said something very strange, "Chang 'an City is a bit congested now."
Yu Lian said, "Yes, the problem you need to solve now is this congested word."
Ning Que said, "It should be very difficult to solve this congested word."
At this time, Chang 'an City's streets were wide and there were few people, and it was rare to see a few horse carriages. The traffic was very convenient and relaxed. There were no accidents caused by horse carriages colliding, and there were no groups of students who petitioned a few days ago.
But Yu Lian and Ning Que both saw the congested Chang 'an City.
They looked very serious.
