The air was clear after the rain. Even though it was late at night, people could still see far away. Tens of thousands of believers on the front yard of Peach Mountain looked at the figure on the mountain path with mixed feelings. This scene was very similar to the scene when Ning Que climbed the Back Mountain of the Academy many years ago.
The dark night sky was like a piece of ink paper, suspended on the flat ground. There were dozens of peaks in it, giving people a feeling that if it were not for these peaks, the night sky would fall on the earth.
The night sky above the Divine Halls of West-Hill was a bit special today. The sky was full of stars, but there was no trace of the moon. The silver starlight sprinkled on the foothills, changing the color of Peach Mountain.
Ning Que's eyes crossed the silver mountain path and fell on the Divine Hall of Light. Then he began to tidy up his wet clothes, tied up his wet hair, put away his bow and knife, and wiped the rain off his face.
He moved very slowly and looked very serious. He didn't go up the stairs until he was sure that there was nothing wrong with his clothes and manners. Since he was here to keep the appointment, he naturally had to show respect.
It was already deep into the night, the thin crescent moon was hidden behind the dark clouds and was completely untraceable. The numerous stars on the dark curtain of the night seemed very bright.
There were seven brightest stars in the night sky, known as Guiding Stars. They were the most reliable guiding lights for fishermen sailing on the sea. They were so bright that it made people dizzy.
There were seven hundred stone steps between the cliff yard and the Divine Hall of Light on the peak. Ning Que seemed to be walking slowly, but in fact, he walked hundreds of steps with each step, as if he was riding the wind.
As soon as his foot left the cliff plateau and landed on the first foothold, he took a step forward. Among the seven bright guiding stars in the night sky, the northernmost star, Li Tian Star, suddenly dimmed.
Ning Que continued to take the second step, and the second of the seven Guiding Stars also dimmed. With every step he took, one of the seven Guiding Stars in the night sky dimmed, as if the everlasting starlight was absorbed into his body by his footsteps.
Not all of the tens of thousands of people on the front plain could see him walking on the mountain path, but all of them saw the seven guiding stars in the night sky dim one after another. Shocked shouts and terrified prayers suddenly rang out. The Hierarch and the others looked at the strange changes of the stars, and their expressions became even more solemn.
…
…
The sky was full of stars. There were several Divine Halls on Peach Mountain, but there was only one in Ning Que's eyes.
The building material of the Divine Hall of Light was very unusual. It was not gold, jade, or stone, but it was naturally precious. Now that it was covered by the starlight, it looked even more sacred.
Standing in front of the Divine Hall of Light, Ning Que looked like an inconspicuous ant.
He looked at the divine hall in front of him and fell silent. Extremely complicated emotions welled up in his heart. There was some fear, some excitement, some yearning, but he also wanted to escape.
He had risked his life to leave Chang 'an, come to the West-Hill Divine Kingdom, and sneak into the Peach Mountain just to come to the Divine Hall of Light and see her. He had been calm throughout the entire process. However, when he was about to meet her in the Divine Hall of Light, he could no longer control his emotions.
No matter how hard he tried to convince himself that she was Sangsang in the Divine Hall, that she was the dark and skinny girl he raised, and that blood was thicker than water, she was in fact Haotian.
There was a saying called the difference between heaven and earth, which was used to describe the distance between two people. There was also a saying called the distance between heaven and man, which was used to describe the fact that they could never touch each other.
He was a mortal, and she was Haotian. The distance between them was like the distance between heaven and earth. They were separated by a high wall that connected heaven and earth. The distance between heaven and earth was, in fact, eternal.
Ning Que's emotions had never been so complicated, and he had never been so afraid. If he wanted to find a similar experience in his past life, it was actually related to her.
That time, Sangsang ran away from home. He sat in the Old Brush Pen Shop and waited silently. Then, he searched everywhere in Chang 'an. He stayed silent in the Scholar's Mansion and cursed the heavens and earth by the Yanming Lake.
It seemed that nothing had changed. She still ran away from home, and he still had to find her and bring her home. He was worried that he could not bring her home, so he was afraid.
Ning Que suddenly became extremely angry. He did not know if it was because of fear or because she was disobedient like last time. His voice trembled with anger.
"Is it fun to run away from home?"
He looked at the quiet depths of the Divine Hall of Light and said, "I thought you were young and insensible the first time. What about now? You are already over 20 years old, and you are still insensible? "
"Do you know how dirty the Old Brush Pen Shop is now? The dust on the table is more than the dust in the stove! Shouldn't you be doing all these things? What are you doing? You are married, so you should wash the dishes, sweep the floor, and wipe the table. But you can't stop and want to play everywhere. You are not home all day! "
"How can there be so many fun things? Look at this shabby Divine Hall. It is as cold as a stone tomb. It is not as lively as Lin 47th Street. I don't believe that the Chenjinji Cosmetics Store here is better than the one in Chang 'an! "
There was no sound from the Divine Hall of Light. Ning Que became more and more annoyed and said, "Say something! Say something! Why don't you dare to speak? Are you feeling guilty? "
"Have you really made up your mind to separate from me? Give me the arrows and the horse carriage, and leave the black umbrella and that silly thing. You have clearly divided the property, but have you asked for my permission? "
"Okay, let's not talk about whether I have agreed or not. Let's talk about the separation. Since we are going to separate, we should do it thoroughly. I buried half of the banknotes in the Old Brush Pen Shop in your grave. I filled in the title deed of the Yanming Lake Manor with your name. I gave the shares of the gambling house to the Scholar Mansion … "
His mood suddenly became a little gloomy, and he said in a low voice, "Actually, I never thought of separating from you. The disposal of the property was counted as an inheritance. Since you are still alive, the disposal is naturally invalid. How about you return the things you took, and we will pretend that nothing happened?"
There was still no sound from the Divine Hall of Light.
"Give me back Dahei, give me back the big black umbrella, and give … yourself back to me."
Ning Que said, "I believe that even if you have forgotten many things, at least you have not forgotten these things. Otherwise, you would not have asked the Drunkard to send the arrows and the horse carriage to Chang 'an."
The Divine Hall was still quiet and no one answered.
"Now I finally understand why you want the West-Hill Divine Palace to hold this Rite to Light. It is because you want to kill Pipi, but you can't. Because I told you that we owe our lives to him."
Ning Que suddenly became calm and walked into the Divine Hall. He said, "Even without this Tianqi, the relationship between us has always been there."
"You have blocked my perception, but it still exists. Just like your face is still black even if you put three layers of powder on it. Because it is born, it is destined."
The quiet Divine Hall of Light echoed with the sound of his footsteps and his calm and firm voice.
"You are Haotian and also Yama. So the relationship between us is something that you have decided. Since that is the case, how can you unilaterally cut us off?"
