Do not sleep

Chapter 791

A lot of things actually had signs from the very beginning.

For example, he always sleeps deeply at night, and never retreats to the White Pagoda with the five tigers to visit Shao Zishu and others.

For example, there is always a thick layer of dust in the White Tower that has not changed for years and looks like no one has cleaned it.

For example, the barrier around the temple that the five tigers could not break through no matter what, only the five tigers were trapped and one person could not go down the mountain.

Or the night when Master Wu Nian returned to the temple, the unexpected silence in the grove at night.

There are still many details that make people feel confused. These confusing details are piled up like a mountain. Five Tigers could have discovered these things that were wrong earlier.

But when Wuhu Tui was able to discover the problem logically, he was suddenly taken in as a disciple by Master Wu Nian who returned to the temple, and his eyes were blinded.

Until today, I suddenly heard that Nan Shaoxuan colluded with the ghost gate to kill the temple gate, watched helplessly as the finely carved black jade fan given to him by Chen Xi disappeared in the air, everything was like a big dream, and the five tigers retreated Only then did he suddenly realize.

Some things just can't bear to think about.

As soon as my thoughts turn, everything in front of me is like a passing cloud, and it will be blown away by the wind.

When Wu Hutui recovered from his shocked state of mind, he realized that he was no longer in the temple hall, and he was no longer surrounded by brothers and uncles in the temple.

This is the white pagoda outside the barrier of the temple, the ashes and decay in the white pagoda are as usual.

Wuhu Tui once wondered why this place is still in such a decadent state under the maintenance of the elders of the wordless generation, but now he understands.

...Some people don't want to understand, but they still understand.

The five tigers retreated and lay on the floor of the White Pagoda, ignoring the dust and dirt around them, just raised their right hand and unconsciously pressed it on their eyelids, knowing that Master Changzang was sitting beside him without looking. , with compassionate eyes.

"I should have thought of it earlier." Wuhu Tui's voice was a little decadent and tired, and he didn't say much, just repeated a sentence.

"I should have thought of that."

"If I had known this, it would probably be the same." Changzang Living Buddha held the Buddhist beads in his hand, changed from the old urchin's unscrupulous appearance when he met Wu Hutui in the past, and now he looks like a monk who has attained enlightenment .

"Why didn't you say it?" Wu Hutui covered his cheeks in a muffled voice.

"The poor monk...can't say it." Changzang Living Buddha sighed, said "Oh Amitabha Buddha", and asked a question.

"And you, do you really want the poor monk to tell you the truth?"

"..." The five tigers retreated.

The Five Tigers don't know.

In the past five years in the temple, Chen Xi regarded a gentleman as jade, Mo Yukun was young and chivalrous, Yan Churen was hard-spoken and soft-hearted, Nan Shaoxuan was wild and unruly, and Shao Zishu was gentle and gentle.

Getting to know each other when we were young is probably the luckiest thing in life.

Although in the temple you have to be a vegetarian, you have to be controlled, and you have to go through a lot of hard training that you don't want to go through, but thinking about it now, the past few years have actually been warm.

Life is pale, and colorful emotions can paint gorgeous pictures on it.

If I had known this... If I had known this, the five tigers would not regret it.

It's just that there may be some regrets.

It is a pity that all the things encountered in the temple these years, all the hardships and happy pasts, turned out to be just an illusion that was too real.

****

The five major families of the Ye dynasty, Dingbian Nan, Xinghaiyan, Pingliang Mo, Tianshui Chen, and Qingyang Shao, were famous all over the world and had great prestige.

But things in this world always seem to be a similar reincarnation, prosperity must decline as much as decline, and decline as flourishing does.

Everyone in the world knows the five major families, but few people care about the reputation of the royal family of the Ye Dynasty.

The noble surname of the royal family of the Ye Dynasty was Yun, and its ancestor was a reckless man from grass roots in ancient China.

The founding emperor of the Ye Dynasty had no possessions, and by accident, he overthrew the royal family of the previous dynasty that was spurned by the world.

Ye Chaoyun's family has no foundation and background, but it has firmly established itself in this huge country, which makes people astonished.

But if you have a firm foothold in the country, you may not be able to control the country.

The ancestors of the Yun family were as wise as they were fools, and they used the five famous families to manage the vast world, gaining a great reputation.

However, after three generations, the Yun family of the imperial family was ambitious and wanted to suppress the aristocratic family, intending to truly gain the right to speak in the court.

In the first year of Yuanshou, the new emperor of the Ye Dynasty ascended the throne.

The birth of the new emperor is very delicate, he is neither the son of the previous emperor and the Yuan Empress of the Mo family in Pingliang, nor the prince of the noble concubine of the Nan family in Dingbian.

Xinti ranked seventh among the brothers.

Among the first six princes, the first prince is the crown prince, the eldest son of the former emperor Pingliang's Mo Clan Yuan Empress.

The second prince and the third prince are the sons of the noble concubine of the Dingbian Nan family, and the fourth prince is indifferent to fame and fortune, and is the son of Concubine Shu of the Xinghaiyan family.

The fifth prince came from Concubine Yi of Tianshui Chen's family, and the sixth prince came from concubine Yi of the Shao family in Qingyang.

No matter how you look at it, the next emperor of the Ye Dynasty will not be able to fall on the prince born to the seventh prince.

However, the first emperor was cunning and insidious. In order to win back the imperial power, he quietly and secretly fueled the battle for the position of the five major families.

It was too late when the five major families realized something was wrong.

The crown prince and the second prince fought with each other for decades, and finally took the risk to implement the palace coup. However, they failed, and the two committed suicide in fear of crime.

The third prince became disabled on the battlefield against foreign enemies, and died in depression. The fifth and sixth princes were plotted against and made mistakes, and the world spurned them.

And the fourth prince, who is indifferent to fame and wealth, has been drugged by someone to hurt his body. He will never leave his mouth in this life, and he can live a day.

It's a pity that the former emperor was too cautious, and the five major families didn't react until the seventh prince was established as the crown prince and announced to the world that he was the next emperor.

Late, but not too late.

In order to keep the family from being eroded by the imperial power, after much deliberation, the five major families decided to abandon their previous suspicions and advance together.

The children of the five major families at that time had a lot of quarrels with each other due to the dispute over the throne of the former emperor, but fortunately they did not really form a life-and-death enmity.

Therefore, after the Shangyi, each of the five major families sent out an important direct descendant, who was quietly sent to the temple to practice and formed a young friend.

Although most places in the Ye Dynasty were peaceful, there were still many evil spirits raging outside in the previous dynasty, so Buddhism and Taoism were also prosperous.

It is also common among the high-ranking officials and nobles in the Ye Dynasty to let the children of the family go to Buddhism or Taoism to practice for a few years without being at home.

Therefore, the few direct descendants sent out by the five major families have not appeared in front of people for several years, and there is nothing that would arouse suspicion.

And the five direct descendants who were sent out were Nan Shaoxuan, Yan Churen, Mo Yukun, Chen Xiyi and Shao Zishu.

They met each other when they were young and were close friends. They should have been able to support each other and walk hand in hand for the rest of their lives.

However, fate does not allow.

The marriage between Chen Xi of Tianshui Chen clan and Mo Qiwei of Pingliang Mo clan was extremely grand.

All the important children of the five major families were present to celebrate, singing and dancing to promote peace and peace.

However, just after this lively scene of universal celebration, there is a repeat of history from prosperity to decline.

In the autumn of the fifth year of Yuanshou, Shao Zishu, the second son of the Shao family in Qingyang, was robbed and killed on his way to Dingbian City in the north.

By the time Shao Zishu's friend, the third young master of the Dingbian Nan Clan, Nan Shaoxuan led his troops to the rescue, it was already too late.

In the winter of the same year, in order to win the relic in the white pagoda of the temple, which is said to bring people back to life, Nan Shaoxuan colluded with ghosts and evil spirits, and with the help of his friend Yan Churen, he broke through the temple's mountain guard formation and entered the main hall of the temple.

When Nan Shaoxuan entered the temple, all the temple disciples who came to defend against the enemy had already gathered in the Great Compassion Hall, the temple abbot and all the elders without characters were present.

But I don't know what kind of evil method Nan Shaoxuan used, dozens of powerful temple elders were besieged in the hall and could not escape.

"Don't waste your energy in vain. This is a heavenly evil formation drawn with the poisonous blood of thousands of poisonous Gu slaves. Anyone who enters this formation has no escape but death." A coquettishly dressed man stood behind Nan Shaoxuan. The monster sneered.

"Nan Shaoxuan, we are all from the same sect, you really want to be so cold-blooded!" A brother of the Discipline Academy spitting blood from his mouth and knelt on the ground.

"I want the Buddha's bone relic." Nan Shaoxuan said with no expression on his face, indifferent to his former fellow disciples.

"As long as you give me the Buddha bone relic, I will let you go."

"The Buddha bone relics in the White Pagoda are used to suppress the evil spirits here. If you take the Buddha bone relics, the evil spirits will be born, and then the lives will be ruined." Master Wu Jiu looked at the blood all over the hall, and couldn't bear to say. Sentence 'Oh Amitabha Buddha'.

"What does it have to do with me?" Nan Shaoxuan snorted coldly and repeated, "I want the Buddha bone relic."

"If you don't give it, I will kill one person if you delay it for a while, until you hand over the relic."

"Nan Shaoxuan!"

On the side, he went up the mountain with Nan Shaoxuan, but Yan Churen, who was restrained when he saw the ghosts appearing around Nan Shaoxuan, his fingernails got stuck between the flesh and blood, and he shouted angrily with bloody hands.

"It was you who begged me, saying that you would secretly see the Buddha bone relic that the host begged for, so that I would open the mountain gate's protective formation for you, but how could you collude with ghosts and evil spirits!"

"How can you kill people in the temple, Nan Shaoxuan, are you crazy!"

"Crazy?" Nan Shaoxuan laughed wildly a few times, and suddenly asked softly.

"Zi Shu is dead, am I still crazy?"

Nan Shaoxuan called Shao Zishu's name, not the name that men would have after reaching the crown.

People who are close should call him by his name.

However, Shao Zishu passed away suddenly, and it was too late for him to reach the crown.

……

Looking at the 20-year-old Nan Shaoxuan in the illusion, his face is frosty, but his eyes are dripping with blood and tears.

Yan Churen who was on the side was trampled under the foot of the ghost gate demon in embarrassment, clenched his hands into fists and burst into tears of anger.

There are also fires and bloody massacres that soared into the sky in the temple.

The five tigers retreated and covered their faces with their hands, tears streaming down their faces.

He knew why his wooden sign couldn't save Shao Zishu.

No matter how powerful a person is, they can't change what has happened.

None of them would have made a big mistake.

It's just that they... met too late.

The author has something to say: Let me explain, that is, the White Pagoda and Master Changzang in the enchantment are real, while everything in the temple is an illusion.

In fact, this story has already been decided at the beginning of the branch line, and now it ends according to the predetermined plan, which is quite satisfactory.

Here are a few words about Tui Tui's growth.

Although this sub-line story was only recently thought of, when I was writing the second volume of Hunter Chapter, I had a general idea and wanted to write a sub-line plot about retreating and growing.

In fact, this is also to meet the personality.

It cannot be said absolutely, but in the vast majority of cases, children who have not experienced any suffering and are accustomed to grow up smoothly are actually the most likely to become children like Alice and the three sisters.

It's not that they commit crimes and crimes, but they are domineering and domineering, and it is difficult to empathize with others. Alice and the others used to be such children.

After that, Alice and the others changed, because they went through a lot of things before they became the appearance of advancing and retreating with their companions.

Therefore, as the control group, Tui Tui of course also experienced some things, so that he did not become as selfish and lawless as Alice and the others when they were young.

Even if it is a brat, there are actually cute brats and annoying brats, and the difference between the two is the word 'property'.

Retirement is very noisy, and it has harmed many people, but it has never really hurt anyone. Sometimes it is very polite and measured, and it will not make people feel bored.

And the word "property" is actually very difficult to learn.

This sub-line is plump on the side and Tui Tui is a brat, but such a brat would not be really annoying.

That's probably the case, Bixin!
