Volume 3 Troubled Autumn Chapter 21 Senior Brother and Junior Brother
Time passes slowly, because of the silence, as if it has not passed, the clear light on the white tower slowly changes, and the willow branches by the lake seem to be sprouting new buds, and no one is talking in the field.
Ning Que looked at the head of the lecturer and his right hand holding the hilt trembled slightly. It was not fear or accumulation of murderous intent, but was waiting for the other party's answer uneasy - if the head of the lecturer agreed with the Master's opinion, the Buddha Sect would not continue to chase Sangsang, and even on the other hand, they were responsible for protecting Sangsang's safety.
After countless days and nights of escape, he finally saw a ray of light. His emotions were a little restless, but he was full of confidence because he believed that the Master’s inference was correct, and in his heart the teacher was always correct and he could not make mistakes.
Unfortunately, Ning Que forgot something. In the hearts of the disciples of the academy, the Master had a higher status than Haotian and Buddha. However, in the eyes of the disciples of the Buddhist sect, especially the head of the preaching master, although the Master was very high, it was impossible to be higher than Buddha and Haotian.
The head of the lecturer pondered for a long time, then gently shook the tin staff in his hand, and the head of the staff roared crisply. He looked at the elder brother and said, "The Buddha may not be right, nor may the Master be right. This is also right and wrong, and that is also right and wrong. As a Buddhist disciple, you must learn to listen to the Buddha's voice. When there is right and wrong, you will choose no right and wrong."
The elder brother understood the meaning of the head of the preaching, and his expression became a little sad. He sighed and said, "The teacher is indeed not wrong. It is always the most difficult thing to change the concept of others."
The silver eyebrows at the first seat of the lecture were slightly floating, and suddenly said, "But..."
The eldest brother looked slightly stunned, then his face showed joy. Ning Que was disappointed and heard the word "no" and "no" suddenly lit up. He asked, "What's it?"
The first person in the lecture raised his left arm, pointed to the white pagoda in the middle of the lake, and said slowly: "This white pagoda is also a Buddha's relics, which can suppress all evil spirits and isolate the world. My Buddhist disciples have been passed down for countless generations, studied Buddhist scriptures hard, and did not let the chessboard and other magical instruments be lost, but they still do not understand what the Buddha left behind the pagoda on earth. At this time, I heard the Master's statement. I suddenly thought, is it that the Buddha left this pagoda and he wanted to see what happened today?"
The eldest brother said, "What do you mean is to let Sangsang live in the White Tower?"
The head of the preacher nodded and said, "That's exactly what it is."
The eldest brother frowned slightly and said, "I think the white pagoda left by Buddha should not be that simple."
The head of the lecturer looked at him and said calmly: "The White Tower can only be opened once every ten thousand years."
The eldest brother turned around and looked at Sangsang on Ning Que's back. He looked at the little girl's pale and haggard face, and after a long period of silence, he whispered: "What's the difference between killing her?"
His eyes looked at Sangsang with a complicated look, a little pity, but he seemed very alert and uneasy. Ning Que saw the senior brother's eyes and felt a little bitter. He thought that even the teacher would be difficult to accept Sangsang's daughter of the Hades. However, the academy was already very satisfied with him like this.
The eldest brother looked at Ning Que again, looked at the blood on his face, the gloom in his eyes, and saw his fatigue. After a moment of silence, he said to the head of the lecturer: "The teacher means to take her back to the academy."
The head of the lecturer shook his head calmly.
The eldest brother coughed again. His body hunched slightly, and it seemed very painful. After a long time, he gradually calmed down and said, "Since that's the case, let's see if we can leave."
Master Qimei's body was shocked when he heard this. Ning Que was slightly stunned, and a sad expression appeared on Sangsang's face. She really didn't want to let these things happen because of her own reasons.
Negotiations between the academy and the Buddhist sect were officially broken.
...
...
The eldest brother looked back at Ning Que, patted his shoulder, and said, "Don't worry about anything, I will take you away, let's go back to the academy together."
Ning Que's mood was a little strange at this time. He lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and said, "I understand that if I ask my senior brother for help, Senior brother, you will definitely help Sangsang and me fight out. Even if we fail in the end, we will die, and you will die in front of me."
"I'm very sure of this, even if sometimes I can't understand this confidence - Senior brother, you have always been very alert to Sangsang. You may even be the first to discover Sangsang is the daughter of the Pluto, but now Sangsang's life experience has been exposed, why do you still do this?"
The eldest brother Zhan Yan smiled and said naturally: "Because I am your senior brother."
Ning Que looked at the crowds in Baita Temple and said, "But these people won't let us leave."
The eldest brother understood what he meant, and after a moment of silence, he said, "If you want to be forced to do evil, as the senior brother, it should be my business, not yours."
Ning Que shook his head and said, "Even if we kill thousands of people today and return to the academy, what should we do? What should we do if the countries in the world attack the Tang Dynasty? The people of Chang'an are like the people of Chaoyang City, and they flock into the academy and ask the teacher to hand over Sangsang? Can we still kill them all?"
The eldest brother was slightly stunned. He had never thought about these problems, or he didn't want to think about these problems.
Ning Que looked at the faces with different expressions in the crowd, thinking about the faces that had fallen under his blade before, and then he saw the little boy who hit Sangsang with a stone and was still crying in the crowd.
"Senior brother, have you ever had a fight?" he asked suddenly.
The eldest brother shook his head.
Ning Que looked at him and asked with a smile: "Senior brother, have you ever killed someone?"
The eldest brother continued to shake his head.
Ning Que continued to smile, because he finally made a difficult decision and felt relaxed all over, so his smile seemed to be brighter.
"I have asked Pipi these two questions before. Brother Twelve has at least fought. This is better than Brother Senior. By the way, Brother Senior, how is Pipi doing now?"
The senior brother said, "Pipi is back in the viewing."
Ning Que said with emotion: "I finally grew up and it seems that love really takes courage."
The eldest brother didn't understand why he said this, and he felt a little uneasy.
Ning Que looked at him and said, "Senior brother, I have the courage too."
He continued: "I didn't know how to write the word "trust" since I was a child until I entered the academy. I believe that the academy can protect Sangsang and me, so whether it is in Lanke Temple, in the wasteland, or just now, I have been waiting for you to appear, but... is it trust or use?"
"I believe that senior brother, you will come to save me, so I have been waiting for you to help me get out of trouble. This seems to be trust, but in fact it is just use. Because I have never thought about it, nor do I care. In the process of saving me, the academy and you will pay, and I know clearly. Even if you know that I don't care, you don't care, so I'm always sure you will come."
Ning Que stopped looking at his senior brother, reached out to take the straw rope from Sangsang's hand, walked around the hilt of the knife and the right hand holding the hilt, and said, "I didn't regret it until I saw your eyes just now."
The straw rope was wrapped one by one. The handle of the knife and the right hand were tied tighter and tighter. He looked at the bloodstains in his palm and said, "Since I have killed so many innocent people, you should be in pain, senior brother, right? Of course, you will continue to help me. Because you said just now, you are my senior brother."
The last straw rope was around, Ning Que raised his right hand, handed it to Sangsang, and asked her to tie it to death, then looked at the elder brother and said, "If it were me in the past, I would probably continue to use you with peace of mind, just like Qi Nian did at the beginning. As the saying goes, a gentleman can deceive him. But I don't want to do it now."
The eldest brother looked at his eyes and asked in confusion: "Why didn't you suddenly want to do this?"
"Of course it wasn't a blow, so I realized that there was no human nature sublimation. I still think that you are too gentle and kind in your work, not as straightforward as your second senior brother."
Ning Que's smile gradually faded and said, "It's rare that there is a clean person like you in the world. I can't bear to have a fishy human blood on your hands. And if you want to take me back to the academy and kill thousands of miles away, you will inevitably be stained with countless blood. Once this happens, you will definitely not be at ease in your life."
"You are different from me and senior brother. No matter how many people you kill, I can feel at ease. If someone wants to kill my wife, I will kill others. This is the principle of the academy, but if you can't feel at ease, I will feel at ease."
A heavy Park knife hung on his wrist, swaying constantly, exuding a bloody smell.
He looked at the elder brother and said, "I have been committing evil and murder since I was a child. My hands are covered with blood from innocent people. Why do you have to make my elder brother dirty your hands? Since there is already blood, then continue to have it."
He was always talking, and the eldest brother was silent, his face covered in dust seemed a little confused, and then gradually became uneasy and said, "Little brother, what exactly do you want to say?"
"Senior Brother, let's go separately." Ning Que said.
The eldest brother was a little confused, and his brows slowly frowned. After thinking about it, he said, "Since you have been waiting for me, I have been looking for you. Now that we meet, why do we have to separate again?"
Ning Que said after a quiet moment: "Because I suddenly realized that senior brother, you have been looking for me to take me back to the academy, and I have been waiting for you, but in fact I just want to wait for you."
"Senior brother, I'm very grateful for your appearance, because this is very important to me."
After saying this, he knelt down in front of his senior brother and worshiped him with great gifts.
"Because you see it, you can separate. It turns out that meeting you is for separation."
The eldest brother finally understood what he meant, and knelt down at him, bowed and returned the salute, and said with emotion: "Thank you for truly treating me as your senior brother from today."
Ning Que bowed again and said, "Senior Brother, thank you for your hard work in the past year."
The eldest brother bowed and said, "Senior brother is incompetent and cannot take you away. Don't blame me."
Ning Que bowed again without saying a word.
The eldest brother bowed again and said, "Even if you want to go differently, the senior brother will always send you to the great road."

(In my detailed outline, this chapter should have been an extremely important point, involving Ning Que's changes, but today's condition is really bad and his mind is very bad. It is said that the author should not say that he was not well written, but I really don't know how this chapter is written, can I write what I want to write, and let you see it. Of course, I trust everyone's wise eyes. There are only two chapters today, and I really can't write anymore. If the mental state can recover tomorrow, then four chapters. If there are no four chapters, I won't open a single chapter to get monthly tickets. I am naturally embarrassed to open it today. Good night everyone.) {Piaotian Wenxue www.PiaoTian.com Thanks to all book friends for their support, your support is our greatest motivation}
