Chapter 853
Ning Que, who was on the Peach Mountain, was able to find out what the oblation for the Light Sacrifice was . The Tang Empire, which possessed numerous intelligence systems would naturally find out about it, and might have even known about it before Ning Que did . However, Ning Que could only think about how to handle the matter now .
He was basically certain that the news was released intentionally by the West-Hill Divine Palace . The Divine Hall wanted to force the people in the Academy, especially him, out of Chang'an . The Divine Hall thought that he was still in the city and this was a problem they could not resolve . He was so mad at the peak of the Divine Hall of Light because he was certain that the woman inside the hall had chosen Chen Pipi . The Divine Hall of Light sacrifices to Haotian, and since Haotian was in the mortal world now, then only Haotian could decide on its own oblation .
Ning Que had mixed emotions . Many years ago, he had met with an attempt on his life by the Vermilion Bird's Divine Talisman on the Vermilion Bird Avenue after killing Yan Suqing . He had not died on the spot thanks to the Big Black Umbrella . He would not have been able to survive, if he had not gained Chen Pipi's help after escaping into the old library in the Academy and eaten the extremely precious Heavenly Power Pill . And then, he had been extremely fortuitous and rebuilt his Snow Mountain and Ocean of Qi; the pile of firewood that could not cultivate finally stepped on the path to cultivation . In other words, Chen Pipi had truly changed his fate, and in their later encounters, while he had not mentioned anything, Ning Que had never forgotten it either .
He had told Sangsang once, that she had to help him remember that he owed Chen Pipi his life . He had done so because this was an important matter to him and he was afraid that he might forget . That was why he asked Sangsang, who never forgot anything, to help him remember it . It seemed that he had long forgotten those things .
That night, Ning Que entered the precipice once more and scolded the woman in the Divine Hall of Light by the stone window, to make his stance and choice clear between his friend and his old lover . Then, he took out the plan he had amended earlier and explained it in front of the stone window . However, he could not help but stop shortly after he began .
He did so, because Chen Pipi had refused to listen and did not turn around . He turned his back against Ning Que who was outside the stone window, whose face was illuminated by moonlight . Since he did not see Ning Que's mouth nor the words on the letter, he could not hear them .
Chen Pipi expressed his determined objection through silence . His Snow Mountain and Ocean of Qi had been sealed . In Long Qing's words, he was now useless . So what right did he have to ask his Senior Brothers and Sisters at the Academy to risk themselves for him? What right did he have to ask Ning Que, his Younger Brother to risk his life for him?
Ning Que looked at his broad back and fell silent for a moment . Then, he pointed his middle finger at him and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, ”Do you think you'll look good if they burn you into a puddle of fat?”
Ning Que could use the powers of the Buddhism Sect he had learned from Master Qishan, and the moonlight shone upon the world thanks to his teacher, to counter the tactical array on the precipice . However, his current cultivation state could not open the precipice and rescue Chen Pipi from the You Prison . When Chen Pipi turned around, he could not even make him hear what he wanted to say . If he did not want to watch Chen Pipi die, he had to choose a different method .
No matter the edge of the skies or the seas, when the Academy encountered a problem they could not solve, they would request help from their sect . Because to them, their relations.h.i.+p with the Academy was like that of Haotian and his believers . The Academy was omnipotent . Even though Ning Que and the others had become the source of confidence of the Academy after the Headmaster ascended to Heaven, he still wanted to ask his Senior Brothers for their opinions at a time like this .
Ning Que left the Revelation Inst.i.tute and walked on the stone bridge across the stream . He arrived at the little town once more, and handed a letter he had written to the Academy to the old man selling sweet potatoes . He hoped that he would receive a reply as soon as possible .
”I don't know what you guys are going to do, but be careful . ” Said the old man selling sweet potatoes .
Ning Que answered, ”I have not thought of being able to leave the Peach Mountain alive since I am already here . Or perhaps, I have never thought of returning alone . Still, I don't think anything will happen to me . ”
After settling his business, Ning Que took two sweet potatoes with him and left the town . The sweet potatoes were fresh from the oven and were very hot . Even though he was not worried that he would be burnt, he still switched them from hand to hand in order not to draw attention to himself . He looked rather funny .
A horse carriage sped towards him . He looked at the white dressed girl in front of the carriage and thought of the day with a thunderstorm . He had encountered this horse carriage once . It had brushed by him and he had turned around to look at it subconsciously to see that the girl in the horse carriage was still as tall and plump . He could not help but have some sinister conjectures and felt happy for no reason .
He dived down to the bottom of the precipice once more in the middle of the night, The Big Black Horse was still working hard on the cliff platform while Ning Que hung in front of the stone platform and tried to persuade Chen Pipi who was in the prison cell . However, no matter how much he tried, Chen Pipi did not turn around . Since he could not hear Ning Que's voice, Chen Pipi could pretend he did not exist .
”What is most important to us is that we need to have confidence . I know what you are worried about, but what's there to be worried about? Teacher is watching us in the skies, don't you even dare to try?”
”Are you not worried that he'll be angry? What if he is was fighting with Haotian while getting angry, and is distracted and then hit by Haotian?”
”Teacher said you please the Heavens, which is why you could attain the Knowing Destiny State so easily . But how are you pleasing the Heavens now? Are you feeling inferior because you're fat and don't want to meet people?”
