บท 638: Buddha's Words

One had to be able to get on a path in order to diverge from it. However, the people at White Tower Temple would not allow Ning Que to take Sangsang away. The crowd that had previously been frightened by his viciousness had parted earlier. However, they received courage and strength when the Chief Preaching Monk arrived. The Chief Preaching Monk was the largest obstacle to Ning Que and Sangsang leaving.

Eldest Brother helped Ning Que up. He took out several iron arrows and gave them to Ning Que, saying, "These are the iron arrows you lost on Wa Mountain. Sixth Brother fixed them. If you can escape, fix the runes. Sixth Brother made these metal cylinders as well and asked me to bring them to you."

Ning Que accepted the heavy iron arrows and placed them in the quiver. He wound one of the small metal cylinders on the arrowhead of an iron arrow and said, "Sangsang and I will leave by ourselves. You don't have to send us off, Senior Brother."
