Chapter 502: Who Would Protect Him If the Night Came?

It turned out to be Youngest Uncle's words . Ning Que looked at the dim light in Chang'an in the distance and didn't speak for a long time . Then he asked, ”Master, do I have to go to Lanke Temple?”

The Headmaster said, ”It is up to you . But if you don't go, no one can clear the doubts in your mind . I cannot either . And I always thought that this journey to Lanke Temple would be your Lucky Chance . ”

Ning Que asked, ”What kind of Lucky Chance?”

”I never believed in Lucky Chance in the past,” said the Headmaster, ”But after witnessing so many things, I gradually started to think that maybe I am too stubborn and have to change how i think . Lucky Chance like that are not meant to happen, they are influences exerted by some people in the world on the environment and people around them . And in the end, the effect of this influence will become really big to those around them . ”

”When one gets to this moment, this opportunity, the thoughts on his mind turn into reality . One day, when he looks back, he will find that he had got exactly what he wanted in the past . I call these 'Lucky Chance' . ”

The Headmaster continued, ”Sangsang could heal herself, but it would be better if those young monks in Lanke Temple could help her . And you need to learn some Buddhism skills so that the rage in your body brought by the skill of your Youngest Uncle can be washed off . And if you want to find out whether you really are the Son of Yama, you have to go to the Yue Laan Hungry Ghost Festival . For these reasons, this journey is your defining moment . ”

Ning Que was quite bewildered and said, ”Your words are as confusing as those of the monks . ”

The Headmaster said, ”You will understand the monks if you listen more carefully . ”

”Will the journey be dangerous?”

”You could be hit by a carriage just by walking on the street . ”

”Master, I will take your words as a yes . ”

”When did you hear me say that?”

Ning Que turned his gaze from Chang'an City to his knees and said, ”If even you think it is dangerous, then how can Sangsang and I deal with it?”

The Headmaster smiled, ”Without being cooked for three days, the dish Fo Tiao Qiang could not be made . Without experiencing . . . ”

Ning Que raised his hands and said bitterly, ”I have heard the Youngest Uncle's words many times . Please save it . ”

The Headmaster laughed and said, ”Go and have a look . Without looking for yourself, you will never know who that is . ”

Ning Que sighed, ”What a wonderful world . ”

The Headmaster said surprisingly, ”That sounds very catchy . ”

”Why?”

”You made it sound like a poem . ”

”I was just bored . ”

The wind on the cliff was so calming, but Ning Que didn't feel relaxed at all . He asked sadly, ”Master, you are so powerful, can you really not see the future?”

The Headmaster said, ”Cultivation needs time . Although I have lived longer than the ordinary person, I am not old enough to have experienced the last Underworld Invasion, or have witnessed the things that happened before the Forever Night . And maybe because of that, I can't understand the 'Ming' Handscroll completely . I don't know how the story will unfold . You are already involved in the story . I can't see your future, but I hope it will be good . ”

Ning Que asked, ”Are there still people who have experienced the last Underworld Invasion?”

He never believed that cultivators could live for thousands of years, but now that he had learned so much at the Academy, he started thinking that it may be possible .

The Headmaster said, ”I know two people who have experienced the last Everlasting night . ”

Ning Que didn't expect this to be his answer . He asked in surprise, ”Who are they?”

The Headmaster's expression became hard to read . He said, ”An alcoholic and a butcher . . . but they don't care about the world anymore, and I am not even sure whether we can still call them human . ”

Ning Que thought about his weird dreams again .

An alcoholic and a butcher once appeared in one of his dreams . They stood next to him and stared at him . And in another dream, the Headmaster took the wine bottle from the alcoholic and drank from it, and he also took a cooked pig leg from the butcher and ate some . Maybe the Headmaster was talking about them?

Ning Que asked, ”Master, do you really not want to hear about my dream?”
