Chapter 86: Temple of Eternal Night

"The temple has no trees. The temple is hidden in the snow-capped mountains. It is said that it will reveal its true face in only two days a year. And if a person with a dishonest heart is not able to see it."

Sean said calmly in an old voice. The temple was of great significance to him. Because he knew the relationship between the temple and that little girl, Chen Pingping spent a huge price to capture the country back to Qingguo. Because he knew the location of the temple, Kuhe, who got the most benefits from the temple, wanted to kill him to silence him, but the little emperor of Northern Qi hoped to get help from the temple.

But what is a temple? It's just a temple.

Sean suddenly felt that his glorious first half of his life was fake, and only the iron window life in the second half was real. The old man looked at the darker sky outside the cave and said with a muffled expression: "Mr. Fan, do you believe there is really a god in this world?"

Fan Xian was silent, thinking of his rebirth and the box, and nodded: "I believe in the existence of God than anyone else in this world."

"What is God?"

"If I know what God is, I am God."

Sean looked at him with admiration and said, "It is rare to see so clearly as young as you." He paused and said, "But Your Majesty was still young at that time, so he couldn't see clearly."

Fan Xian knew that the story was finally about to begin, and he couldn't help but feel nervous and expectant.

"Do you know what the world looked like more than thirty years ago?"

"Wei State dominates and may unify the world at any time."

"Yes, at that time, I was already the leader of the Tiqi cavalry of the Great Wei Kingdom and his confidant." Sean recalled the past, but his expression was a little strange, unlike the time when he was in the glory of the day, and he had no grudge. Perhaps he was about to die, but he was indifferent and calm. "The world of that day was the world of Wei Kingdom, and all Ying Junyan was in the court, but the one who really provoked this court was two pairs of brothers."

Fan Xian looked at the old man's expression and seemed to be able to persist. He felt a little relieved and replied softly: "One of the pair is naturally you and Zhuang Mohan."

"Yes, my brother is more promising than me." Sean's face gradually softened, "and he is more affectionate than me. I have been imprisoned by Qingguo for twenty years. He still remembers me and I owe him."

"Why no one knows you are a pair of brothers."

"The reason is very simple. My reputation is too fierce. I don't know how many Qingliu have been killed in secret. As a scholar, he naturally doesn't like me, and I don't want to have anything to do with him." Sean replied calmly.

Fan Xian paused a little and changed the topic: "Who is there another pair of brothers?"

"It's the battle between the breeze and the bitter lotus."

"Battle Qingfeng? The father of the founding emperor of Northern Qi, a famous general of that year?" Fan Xian was finally shocked. It turned out that Ku He and the royal family of Northern Qi were so close! No wonder they worked hard to protect the current empress dowager and emperor, and the royal family respected Ku He's lineage so much.

"Kuhe is Zhan Qingfeng's youngest brother. He has been determined to be a monk since childhood, practicing the way of heaven and man, and strive to one day be able to attain enlightenment and enter the temple." Sean said with a sarcastic expression: "Many people in the world believe in the temple, but who has really seen it in the past thousand years? It's just that those monks preach in various places, and they live even more pitiful than beggars."

"But the temple really exists." Fan Xian reminded him.

"No," Sean closed his eyes, "At that time, the late emperor passed away, and the young emperor ascended the throne. Although this emperor was pretty good to us ministers, he was very afraid of death. He was thinking about practicing the art of immortality all day long."

Fan Xian said: "At that time, the Northern Wei Dynasty was the dominant one, and as the emperor, he had nothing to worry about, so he naturally would inevitably think of these things."

Sean continued, "So at that time, Kuhe took the opportunity to enter the palace and persuaded His Majesty to send an envoy to go out to sea to find traces of the temple, saying that if the immortals in the temple taught His Majesty the magic of immortality, they would naturally live forever. When His Majesty heard this, there was no reason to be disobedient..." He smiled bitterly and said, "As the leader of His Majesty's confidant Tikka, this matter naturally fell on his head."

"Ku He is the proposer. He is extremely fanatical about the temple, so he will naturally not stay out of it." Sean said lightly: "I don't know how long I have been looking for it, but I finally found a clue, so Ku He and I led a team of thousands to the north."

Although the dying old man said calmly, Fan Xian knew that the process must have been quite complicated at that time. The temple was worshipped by the world, but it was illusory and vague. It was a very amazing thing to be able to find the true clues.

The old and indifferent voice kept echoing in the cave. The sky and mountains outside the cave gradually became dimming. Fan Xian listened silently, asked questions in time, and his brain was rapidly moving. Through Sean's memories, he re-outlined a rough map in his heart.

Time seems to have returned to more than 30 years ago. The Huangshan Mountain outside the cave has also turned into a wind and snow. In the old man's memories, Fan Xian seemed to have seen an expedition team composed of thousands of people, moving forward in the wild northern land in the wind and snow. The people were wearing leather boots and wrapped in thick leather jackets, with only two eyes exposed outside, but they still couldn't stop the cold and cold wind gushing into their bodies.

In front of the team are the two leaders of this team. Sean, who was in his prime at that time, was with the extremely young monk Kuhe, who looked devout.

The team went north and the difficulty became more and more difficult, and the fewer people were left. Some people were frozen to death, some fell into the ice valley and disappeared, and some were caught by the birds of prey in the sky and died of the spirit cap. In short, as the adventure progressed, the team became shorter and the atmosphere became more and more weird.

The world was covered with snow. Because I had been in this boring and cold environment for too long, some people in the team were blind and ruthlessly abandoned by Sean in the wasteland. Some cold-resistant rotten wolf in the distance were waiting for the death of the blind.

Everything happened quietly, even if it was a tragic thing like death.

The team walked for a long time and finally arrived at a mountain in the far north. There was only a narrow path in the mountains leading into it. The snow was extremely thick, which had already covered the color of the mountain itself, and it looked like icebergs were endless.

After the team of about 100 people left behind, they found that behind the snowy mountain was still a world covered by ice and snow, and even fewer animals became. The team was extremely tenaciously tent and wanted to find traces of the temple here, but many days passed and no discoveries were found.

As winter comes, heavy snow is coming, mountains are closed, the sun is gone, and food is gone.

The strongest man lived to the end. In a long and endless night, Sean and Ku He sat back to back in the tent, surrounded by corpses, and the fire had not been extinguished. The tents in the team and the clothes of the dead gave the two strong men a last trace of warmth and hope.

"That's the wrath of heaven."

In the cave, Sean opened his eyes with some difficulty. The bloody red color in his pupils became thicker, but endless fear appeared in his eyes: "The temple knew that mortals were trying to find them, so the heaven was furious and came to the boundless darkness."

Fan Xian glanced at the old man and whispered after a while: "That's called Jiye." He confirmed the location of the temple again in his heart.

Sean naturally didn't understand what Jiye was, but that memory obviously made him extremely deep. He said with a confusion: "Kuhe was eating human flesh with great sweetness and stinginess at that time, while praying to heaven with great devotion. I couldn't help but feel despised him in my heart. Unexpectedly... Maybe in the end he really moved the immortals in the temple, so the sky... suddenly lit up."

Fan Xian couldn't help looking at Sean, thinking in his heart how these two people could survive the last few months of extreme night? Even if there were people eating meat and burning tents, the struggle between loneliness and the two would probably make people crazy.

Sean suddenly laughed and said, "It's dawn all at once. At that time, Kuhe and I have reached the end of our lives, but suddenly we discovered hope. We don't know where the power comes from, supporting us to continue to live."

"Then you found the temple." Fan Xian picked up the dagger, put it beside him, and asked softly: "What is the temple like?"

Many years ago, two people who were so thin that they were boneless left walked out of the tent with difficulty. Their deep eyes and yellow faces, and the swollen gums they exposed when they breathed, all revealed a message - these two people were dying.

The light during the day finally came out so much that it was no longer so stingy. Some animals woke up from the deep hole again. Although the two strong men were at the end of their strength, they were still much more fierce than those beasts, so they received a lot of supplements and stood up again.

That day, they squinted their eyes and stared at the snowy mountain in front of them in a daze, but they had no idea where the temple they were looking for was.

There are only white and earth that is really clean.

Suddenly, a ray of sky light hit the blue sky, and the light on the Daxue Mountain took a very strange twist, and it was very abrupt. A beautiful temple appeared in the mountains in the sky.

This grand temple is built against the mountain, with black stone walls and light gray eaves connected to each other, which is inexplicably solemn.

Kuhe looked at the mountains in a daze, and suddenly fell to the ground excitedly, crying loudly in the direction where the temple appeared, extremely sad. Sean was stunned. After a while, he woke up and sat down in the snow. He had no strength to stand up for a long time.
