That Person In That River and Lake

  Chapter 189 I Come to Return the Sword

It was winter, Changling County was full of wind and snow, and an old man staggered to the Qiling Station. That night, the old man in the green shirt abandoned his prejudices, dissatisfaction in his heart, and personal grievances. That night, like that strange young man, he said three times and bowed three times!

After the three worships, the young man did not just smile away his grievances, but just borrowed the old man's sword, and the two of them faced the uncertainty of life and death together. At that time, the old man really began to know the young man, his old heart, He was brought up with enthusiasm, and saw the vigor and boundless hope of young people, so he didn't want such a young man with justice in his heart to end like this.

  He came out of Beijing with a short knife, killed two people, and after quietly seeing the young man in white who did not disappoint as always, he surrendered in satisfaction.

   Qingming is approaching, and in the rainy season, he came to the Meridian Gate.

Meridian Gate, the execution ground of Chang'an City, there are countless decapitated souls lingering here. Ning Qing looked at the misty mist, and his heart was like still water. He calmly fled to face death.

Outside the Meridian Gate, many people gathered, discussing in a bustling manner. They were all amazed at this old man, this great cultivator, and this court official who knew the law and broke the law, but turned himself in. Countless doubts were discussed among the crowd. .

Inside the Meridian Gate, there are a thousand imperial city guards guarding here. The cold spear tip is the murderous intent of special soldiers. , the few supervisors and beheading officers headed by Shangshu Di Yun of the Ministry of Punishment were a little disappointed.

   Not far away, there was a monk sitting together in the gazebo on the city wall, watching everything in the arena. The two of them were a little casual, making tea and playing chess.

  No one disturbed them. Dozens of inner guards guarded them outside. Such a power could not be ignored. What's more, these two people were enshrined in the imperial court's enshrining pavilion, so no one could ignore them.

Next to this monk, there is a man with a beard and a beard who can't tell his age. He eats carrots happily. A rope is tied around his waist on the pillar, and there is a piece of meat hanging from the bottom of the rope. Brick, with a short gun stuck beside him, about four feet away, looks very ordinary.

This person is Ouyang Muhua who had dealt with Gu Qingci before. He was indistinguishable. He hid himself from the world after rioting in the capital more than ten years ago. He reappeared in the Battle of Wangjing and was killed by a brick. Ouyang iron egg of a great practitioner!

After Ouyang Muhua finished eating the carrots, he seemed a little impatient, and slapped the table, ruining the chess game of the monk and the other, and asked: "Master Sannian, Daoist Qingyun, I said you two can You can't fart, you two are playing chess here for an hour of Du Te Niang, you really think I don't exist!"

  Master Sannian saluted the Buddha and said: "Ouyang benefactor, please be safe and don't be impatient. The poor monk and Daoist Qingyun are also for cultivating the state of mind. The murderous aura in this Meridian Gate is too strong. You need to be calm and safe."

"Bullshit," Ouyang Muhua picked up the teacup, drank it in one gulp, and said, "You still need to cultivate your state of mind. When I was fighting with you fifteen years ago, you two were at the Profound Realm. After so many years, you are still at the Profound Realm." The profound realm is spinning, how did you cultivate this state of mind?"

   Daoist Qing Yun looked serious and did not speak.

Master Sannian smiled helplessly, and said: "Ouyang Almighty God is a genius, and poor monks are naturally incomparable. This destiny is hard to come by. How can it vary with time? My Buddha is merciful, and I can arrange everything freely. The Buddha felt that the poor monk has practiced enough, and when it is time to enter the destiny, he will naturally enter the destiny!"

   "Okay, okay," Ouyang Muhua said impatiently, "Don't tell me about your Buddha Lord, just tell me how long it will take before I can go home and sleep!"

   This time Daoist Qingyun spoke up, and said: "It's 2:00 noon, and it's still a quarter of an hour away. If there are no accidents, you can leave."

  Ouyang Muhua asked in confusion: "What accident?"

  Daoist Qingyun said indifferently: "Qin Tianjian Yuan Tianshi!"

  …

In an attic in the imperial city, there were two old men sitting on the ground and playing chess. One was dressed in white, with a volume of books hanging around his waist, and his head was full of white hair, but it was very elegant and unrestrained. Hair, holding a whisk in his hand.

The person hanging the book is Mr. Wuque, and the person holding the whisk is the emissary of Qin Tianjian, the Great Xia Guoshi Yuan Tianshi, a person who is not as famous as Mr. Wuque, but is a person of the same period as Mr. Wuque. , the only person who is on the same level as Mr. Wu Que.

  One fell, Yuan Tianshi spoke first, and said: "Mr. Wu Que, it's already 2:00 noon, and it's about the same time. Do you still think that the poor will make a move?"

Mr. Wu Que lowered his hand slowly, and said with a slight smile: "Master Yuan Tianshi is very powerful, I don't dare to be careless, after all, this time, it is your younger generation who beheaded, but His Majesty just came looking for me again, I can't let it go hastily .”

   Tianshi Yuan shook his head and said: "Oh, you are unnecessary. Do you think Ning Qing's personality will allow me to save him? If he doesn't want to die, he won't return to Beijing."

  Mr. Wu Que nodded and said: "I know, but now, there is one person who can save him, and he is the only one who can save him!"

Tianshi Yuan waved his whisk lightly, and said, "Master Gu Qingci, but will he come? If I had known earlier, robbing the Dharma field is not a trivial matter. If he does this, he will ruin his entire life. Moreover, Meridian Gate, this is a net!"

Mr. Wu Que smiled slightly, and said: "To be honest, if I were in that kid's perspective, I don't know if I will show up. Now it's not only me, but even His Majesty is looking forward to it, looking forward to this kid's arrival." Appear."

   Tianshi Yuan was silent for a while, and said: "As much as you expect, you will pay as much attention to it. I am also very interested in this kid, a person with such a profound destiny."

   "Fate?" Mr. Wu Que asked, "How is his fate?"

   Yuan Tianshi said softly: "I can't see it!"

  …

Inside the Meridian Gate, on the supervisory platform, the time passed slowly, and seeing that it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, Di Yun, the Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, got up suddenly, walked slowly to Ning Qing, poured a glass of wine for Ning Qing with his own hands, and sighed , said: "Master Ning, this glass of wine is not a wine of beheading, but I respect you, because I admire you very much, but, I don't understand, is it worth it for you to sacrifice so much for a person who has nothing to do with you? "

  Ning Qing smiled slightly, with vicissitudes like memories in his eyes, and said: "Master Di, if you also fight side by side with Master Gu, you will understand that it is really worth it."

  Di Yun shook his head and said, "But, at this time, he hasn't even come to see you off!"

   At this moment, a dull but thunderous voice suddenly came from outside the Meridian Gate:

   "Old Ning, I'm here to return the sword!"

   I will carefully read the opinions of all book friends, and if there is something good, I will adopt it, thank you!

   Because I stayed up late last night, I fell asleep in a daze today. I was arrested for four consecutive classes. I might be invited by the counselor to talk in the afternoon. The two rewards plus may have to wait until evening. Alas, what a bad luck!
