Chapter 815

The city gate opened slowly, revealing the figure of Ning Que .

He carried the iron cutla.s.s on his back, with the iron pestle in his hand, looking outside of the city through the gate .

He said, ”Senior Brother, he's here for me, so I'll talk to him . ”

Jun Mo hesitated for a moment . His eyebrows were like the lake cast by the shadow of willows, so peaceful .

The straight and broad iron sword was slowly shoved back into the sheath .

He saluted the man by the carriage again and went back to his own carriage .

The carriage drove into Chang'an City and stopped by Ning Que .

Jun Mo looked at him and said, ”If you insist on talking, make it a nice one . Though the Headmaster has left the mortal world, we still have the Academy supporting us . Cowards like them are no trouble to us at all . ”

Ning Que saluted and said calmly, ”I understand . ”

He looked at the dirty carriage outside the city gate, the dust on it blown away by the spring breeze, and he looked at those familiar runes; he then turned to the man standing by the carriage .

”Second Brother is the only one in the world qualified to call this man a coward . ”

Ning Que was muted and thinking to himself because he seemed to know the man ignoring the rule of time . The man had once been noted by the Headmaster, and had shown up in one of his dreams .

He once had a dream in which he was in the Wilderness . All the people on the Wilderness were looking at the sky where light and darkness had a clear boundary . He saw the Headmaster in the sky, as well as the Drunkard and the Butcher . Later he had a dream again in which the Headmaster grabbed the Drunkard's wine bag and sipped, then he bit the pork leg on the Butcher's bag .

The Headmaser once mentioned two powerful cultivators who had survived the last Everlasting Night . They were no one else but the two breaking into his dreams, the Drunkard and the Butcher .

When he took Sangsang to the Wilderness on the black carriage last year, he ran into the fierce battle between the West-Hill Coalition Army and the Desolate, and that was when he had realized he was actually at the place that was once in his dreams .

When dreams became reality, behind the clouds in the black and white sky, Ning Que saw the Kingdom of G.o.d, the giant Golden Dragon's head and the Headmaster who was as tall as he had expected . He hadn't seen the Drunkard or the Butcher until this day .

The Drunkard and the Butcher had pulled through the Everlasting Night and lived a near-eternal life under Haotian's watch . That meant they knew ways to encounter Haotian, or as the Headmaster once said, cultivation is all about living longer, which was to say that the two had reached a state that ordinary people could hardly imagine .

As in the Headmaster's words, the two were no longer mortal .

Among those Ning Que had known, n.o.body else had met the Drunkard and the Butcher except the Headmaster . So the only one who was able to find them was the Headmaster . They had turned into legends for as long as they lived .

The man might have a flagon, but he had no pork leg on his back . He was not the Butcher .

Ning Que was no ordinary person, yet he was still shocked and cautious when seeing the man . It took him a while before he calmed down and asked, ”Sir . Drunkard, what can I do for you?”

The Drunkard looked at him and said with a hoa.r.s.e voice, ”I was sent here by someone else to give something back to you . ”

His voice was still not likable . Every word of his carried the touch of the ancient emperors' tomb and the smell of silk rotting on corpses .

Ning Que frowned slightly .

He quit asking because Second Brother had asked enough questions . Watching the carriage that had accompanied him for years and the traces behind it reminded him of what had happened by the Sishui River .

Sangsang showed her ident.i.ty as a real G.o.d by the Sishui River . She was the dark night walking in the light with her lotus-like feet . She asked the Headmaster to ascend to heaven, to enter the Kingdom of Haotian . At that time flowers showered and the whole world shook .

The Headmaster and Sangsang then left him by the Sishui River, so did the big black horse, the black carriage, including the Primordial Thirteen Arrows and the Big Black Umbrella in it .
