965 A Crow Fell on a Pig (2/2)

Haotian couldn't dream because only humans dreamed.

Starting to dream demonstrated the sign of her transformation to a human. The humanity that the Headmaster had left was growing in her, as did the greed, anger and foolishness that the Buddha planted in her mind.

”I dreamed that many Buddhas took out knives and messily cut their own bodies to make them bleed. They squeezed their wounds to make the blood spill out much faster. They didn't look like they were in pain. Some lit fires to help the blood evaporate faster. Others even jumped down from cliffs.”

Her face was devoid of emotion, but fear was visible in her eyes.

Ning Que thought about the sight of when he killed his way out of Chaoyang City. His fingers turned cold.

Sangsang was very feeble at that moment. This world filled with the Light of Buddha was too terrifying for her.

”Hold on a bit longer,” Ning Que said, stroking her back.

”I'll die if this continues.”

There was still no emotions on Sangsang's face, but pain joined the fear in her eyes.

Death meant the end - eternal slumber. It was the most dreadful for any being with a mind. She had never felt fear up until that moment because she had never thought that death would come.

”I won't let you die,” Ning Que said.

Sangsang said, ”You keep saying that. Besides being able to comfort yourself, it has no other meaning.”

Ning Que looked at her eyes and said, ”This shouldn't be the end of the story. Since we've woken up, we will definitely find a way out.”

Sangsang said, ”As you've said before, this isn't like the stories in books.”

”No matter what story it is,” Ning Que said, ”I am the hero and you are the heroine. Thus, we won't die.”

”Maybe, in this story, we're only the supporting characters.” Sangsang looked at the dark night sky out of the cave where the Lights of Buddha were gradually pervading from the distant field. While listening to the sutra-chanting, she said, ”Because this is the story of the Buddha.”

Ning Que fell silent for quite a while and said, ”Sleep some more. We can stay for a while longer.”

Sangsang turned to the side and fell asleep again.

Ning Que sat beside her. He felt quite bitter when he saw her knitted brows, the sad downturn of her mouth, and her painful expression. He wanted to reach out and smooth her brows.

When she was awake, Sangsang would never show any trace of pain on her face.

They left the cave in the morning and continued to move towards the south according to the original plan. It was not long until they entered the deep mountains and forests.

Ning Que felt a little relieved. This place was remote, so it shouldn't be filled with Buddhas and Lights of Buddha everywhere like in Chaoyang City.

He wasn't wrong, but he wasn't right either.

There weren't as many Buddhas in the deep southern mountains, but they still existed. The woodmen they met on the mountain pass were Buddhas and, late at night, Buddhas riding spotty tigers found them.

Ning Que continued killing them, but it was very difficult and he had more and more injuries. In addition, The more Buddhas they met, the weaker Sangsang became. Being tortured by the three poisons, Sangsang looked as pale as snow.

Ning Que started to sing the song of the black swine again to ease her mood. Sangsang was very unhappy and tried to look angry, but she was too pale to be intimidating.

”You always take advantage of me when I'm weak and bully me,” she shouted with anger.

Ning Que reached back and patted her buttocks, saying, ”The truth needs to be distinguished for a clear understanding. The one who poisoned you was the Buddha, and it has nothing to do with me. I do bully you, but I won't take advantage of you.”

At the moment, a wild boar covered in black mud dashed out of the woods and stared at Ning Que dumbly. It probably sensed danger and then ran off immediately.

Sangsang said weakly, ”As the saying goes, a crow fell on a pig. The bald donkeys and the Academy are both evil-minded.”

A strange cawing was heard. A black crow flew over and landed somewhere in the woods. After a short moment, the wild boar walked out of the deep woods in low spirits.

The black crow stood on its back to showcase its strength.

Sangsang said, ”We'll eat pork tonight.”

Annoyed, Ning Que said, ”Since the crow fell on the back of the pig, am I the pig with you on my back?”

Sangsang lay on his back and whispered, ”If you weren't the pig, then why are you here?”
