961 See Through The Sky And Phra Pidta (2/2)

Sangsang thought for a while and said, ”Then?”

Ning explained, ”My Eldest Brother still has not come after such a long time, which indicates that Eldest Brother is not in this world. Thus, the world must be fake.”

Sangsang was confused and then asked, ”Are you sure that Li Manman would come?”

Ning Que replied, ”Of course. He came back then and he will come now.”

Sangsang did not respond.

Ning Que pointed to the lake and the White Tower and said, ”The lake and the White Tower came to the Xuankong Temple before we entered the chessboard. Why are they here now?”

Sangsang said, ”We left Xuankong Temple. The lake and White Tower can come back with us.”

Ning Que's arrow and words couldn't convince her, for she had not waken up yet, or she was just not willing to wake up. She quietly looked at the sky that was reflected on the surface of the lake.

”Actually...I don't want to wake up either. I was very upset and even very scared when I woke up. I felt cold and even vomited a lot of blood.” Walking to her, Ning Que sat down beside her and held her hands gently. He looked at the sky and said, ”Although the world is fake, we have been really happy these years, especially the first few years. I can't bear to part with all these wonderful days.”

Sangsang leaned against his shoulder and looked very sad.

Ning Que touched the little white flower in her hair gently and asked, ”Do you think the sky is beautiful?”

Sangsang nodded slightly.

Ning Que said, ”You think the sky is very familiar, so you like to look at it?”

Looking at the gray and high sky, Sangsang clearly knew the answer but dared not to speak out.

Ning Que hesitated but continued to say, ”You were born in the sky and grew up there. The sky is your home, so you feel that it is familiar to you. And it's also the reason why you always want to go back.”

Hearing this, the sadness in Sangsang's eyes gradually disappeared. She was now calm. And the lake which was disturbed by the autumn rain before gradually became calm too, revealing the clear sky.

As she blinked, the surface of the lake rippled.

The sky reflected in the lake had been cut into countless pieces of light and shadow, and the original appearance of the sky could no longer be found, turning into countless stars.

The lake evaporated and the White Tower disappeared. Since they were actually in Xuankong Temple, they couldn't be in front of her.

As Sangsang looked at the sky, the rain clouds suddenly spread out, revealing the clear sky. But it was still not the sky Sangsang wanted to see. Several cracks suddenly appeared on the porcelain-like blue sky.

Just like a delicate porcelain was thrown to the ground, the sky was broken.

She had quietly watched the sky in the small courtyard and by the lakeside for hundreds of years. Now, with the help of Ning Que, she finally saw through the sky and caught a glimpse of the darkness and nothingness behind it.

Yes, the world is fake, or maybe it is real. But in any case, it is not my world. It is inside the chessboard and the world of Buddha.

She stood up slowly and held her hands behind her back.

Looking at the blue sky which suddenly turned into a dark sky, Monk Qingban was terrified. He clutched Ning Que's sleeves and asked in a trembling voice, ”Elder Brother, what's wrong?”

Ning Que said, ”We are leaving now. You go find a place to hide.”

Monk Qingban asked, ”Where are you going?”

Ning Que said, ”Outside.”

”Outside? Where is outside?” Monk Qingban looked at him and suddenly cried bitterly, ”Does it mean that I am already dead?”

Ning Que said nothing.

Monk Qingban was crying nonstop. He tried to wipe the tears with his sleeves, but the tear just kept running.

Ning Que suddenly became solemn.

Monk Qingban wiped the tears with his sleeves, but the tear just kept running.

He wiped his face with the sleeves. As he kept wiping, his one eyebrow was gone, then his nose was gone, and then his eyes gone too.

He seemed to feel a little embarra.s.sed, covering his face with the sleeve and requesting, ”I don't want you to go.”

Monk Qingban turned himself to a Phra Pidta.

He said he didn't want Ning Que and Sangsang to go.

He won't let Ning Que and Sangsang go.
