Chapter 25 Counterattack, have the appearance of counterattack
The courtyard suddenly became quiet.
Just because of Lin Xi's plain rhetorical question, everyone's mood changed instantly.
Yuan Tianyu and other soldiers, whose faces were extremely gloomy for a moment, suddenly had some self-deprecating smiles on their lips, and couldn't help but shook their heads slightly, thinking in their hearts that their worries and anger were simply unnecessary. This matter turned out to be
It's really not a thing at all.
The round-faced official was still shocked before he counted his breath. He was really worried that Gu Yunjing could get the military to cooperate with Lin Xi in another assassination. With Lin Xi's ability, he had to worry that Lin Xi would really assassinate Qiu Mochi in the middle of the army.
However, at this moment, he found that Lin Xi didn't have to spend any effort to do such a thing, because he really ignored Lin Xi's other identity.
"You are questioning the character of a spiritual priest. Do I, as a spiritual priest, tell lies?"
Lin Xi's eyes swept across the face of the round-faced official whose expression became extremely exciting, and he said something flatly.
The place was quiet.
The two officials of the Li Division tried their best to maintain their composure and focused their eyes on Qiu Mochi. In their opinion, since Lin Xi said so and since Lin Xi testified, then this matter has been concluded and can be ended here.
.
Since Qingluan Academy was deliberately suppressed by the emperor with the Thunder Academy, it has always been low-key and even given the impression that it is in decline. Therefore, Lin Xi's status as the chosen one of Qingluan Academy seems to have made many people forget to respect it.
Because Lin Xi had faded away from Yunqin for a long time after Biluo Ling, many people had forgotten the fact that his rank had not been removed, but was deliberately not mentioned by the emperor.
After he reappeared in Nanling Province, because his military exploits were so outstanding, people immediately thought of powerful archers and practitioners, but it was easy for people to ignore the fact that he was a spiritual priest.
The spiritual priest is himself a symbol of light.
How do ordinary officials have the right to doubt the character of spiritual priests?
However, Qiu Mochi shook his head and said calmly: "How could I forget your identity? It's just that the spiritual priest has fallen. It's not without examples. According to the convention, although the spiritual priest like you does not serve in the court,
You are an ascetic priest, but you must also undergo verification by the House of Priests every year. In the past year or so, you probably have not had contact with the House of Priests, and you have not received study and verification."
As soon as Qiu Mochi said this, the expressions of the officials present changed again.
"You know some official methods very well. You know how to climb up and what kind of rules you should be able to use. If you involve the Council of Priests to verify my identity as a spiritual priest, you can at least delay it for a long time. Even if it is still the case in the end.
I believe that the achievements and process they reported are true. You are doing business, but the process is enough to disgust us to death." Lin Xi saw that the other party was still arguing in this situation, but he was not angry, and just said calmly: "It's just possible.
Our Qingluan Academy and I are really too low-key, so even a small role like you has the courage to challenge me, but you are really not qualified... and you don’t have to pretend to be so ordinary.
When I have been so rude and harsh to you, the more you act like this, the more hypocritical you appear."
The calmness on Qiu Mochi's face disappeared, revealing an angry sneer, "I don't know what qualifications are, I only know that I have the right to thoroughly investigate this matter."
"Really? Do you really think you are someone?"
Lin Xi smiled. He found that he had found some of the happy feelings he had when dealing with those officials in Donggang Town. "Let me tell you the difference between you and me. I can go out now, walk to the city, and tell the people in the city that I
It's Lin Xi, and then I will tell them how these more than a hundred soldiers who were extremely loyal to the empire went through many battles and hardships, broke through the encirclement, and finally successfully attacked the camp and returned to Yunqin. Then I will also tell them
, after these soldiers returned to Yunqin, they were detained by the Military Supervisory Office and detained by you as spies. I don’t have to prove whether my identity as a spiritual sacrifice has been corroded, but I am afraid that the angry soldiers and civilians will directly use eggs and
Hit with bricks to death."
"If you insist on doing something that incites people's hearts, then you can do it." Qiu Mochi took a deep breath and said in a cold voice: "But you can't even think of using this to make me surrender. Even if I die, Supervisor Jun
The next officials will handle this matter in the same way!"
Lin Xi frowned.
To deal with a person of Qiu Mochi's level, he was really too lazy to bother. In his opinion, using the identity of a spiritual priest to suppress such a person was the simplest and most effective way. However, he did not expect that Qiu Mochi would
Under such circumstances, I still want to find a way to the dark side.
A bitch is like a dog, but this is a somewhat difficult dog.
The place became quiet.
It was precisely because of the silence that everyone present, including Lin Xi who frowned slightly, heard the faint sounds of chaotic footsteps coming in the wind.
The footsteps sounded like many people rushing to meet someone, or like many people rushing to catch up with one person.
Then very quickly, these footsteps quickly disappeared and calm returned.
After that, only one person's footsteps got closer and closer, carrying a surprising and unique aura.
Lin Xi turned around.
He felt that this aura was not a vibration of soul power, but a unique fluctuation of vitality, just like a certain external force that was always surrounding a practitioner, waiting for that practitioner to respond at any time.
absorb, use.
Could it be that Zhou Shoufu is here?
This was the first thought that came to his mind.
However, the dazzling golden color that appeared in his eyes immediately overturned his speculation.
All the officials at the scene, even Gao Yanan who was standing next to Lin Xi, had strong shock in their eyes when they saw this golden figure.
This is an old man wearing a golden priest's robe.
And his hair is golden.
In Yunqin, the golden priest robe represents the lifelong high priest with the highest status in the priesthood.
The golden hair represents the Yuhua family.
This is a wrinkled, skinny and short old man, but he is an old man in Yunqin whose status is even more noble than the head of the Eighth Division. So at this moment, he is walking along the bluestone road. In the eyes of everyone, he is
Seems extremely tall.
"I am Yuhua Shanhe."
The old man looked at Lin Xi, Gao Yanan and others and smiled, then made a sound first.
Yuhua Shanhe is the younger brother of the old man of the Yuhua family who sits behind the heavy curtains. However, no one is surprised because there are two life-long high priests of the Yuhua family in the priesthood, both of whom are of the same generation as Yuhua Shanhe.
As long as one wears the golden robe of the lifelong high priest, he is the most noble being in the Yuhua family.
Ever since this high priest, who could represent the entire Yuhua family, appeared, Lin Xi had been seriously thinking about the meaning of his arrival, but the others were so shocked that for a moment everyone forgot to salute.
"Guess what color the thing in my hand is?" Like a real magic stick, the old man walked up to Lin Xi. Without saying any unnecessary words, he stretched out his hand toward Lin Xi.
Right hand making fist.
His right hand was like a dry branch, but it exuded a golden light that made people feel like there was a layer of golden metal between them when they looked at his hand, let alone what he was holding in his hand.
Lin Xi bowed and said respectfully: "Why do you have to guess?"
"This can give you some proof." The old man smiled wisely, "And for our priesthood, this is not a question of guessing, but a question of whether it is worth it."
Lin Xi straightened up, looked at the old priest Yuhua Shanhe, and laughed, "Are you here on behalf of the Yuhua family and the priest's hall?"
The old man looked at Lin Xi helplessly, "Since you don't like nonsense, why do you still pretend to be confused if you understand?"
Lin Xi laughed even more happily and nodded: "I guess it's bright red."
The old man's eyes brightened, and his body began to emit a strange golden light, as if a sun was rising.
"As expected, you guessed it." He looked at Lin Xi deeply with shock and satisfaction and said.
Lin Xi smiled slightly and said in her heart, some things have already happened, but you didn't know it when you came back.
Qiu Mochi didn't know what was going to happen next, but the expressions on the old man's and Lin Xi's faces made his body tremble non-stop, and his originally cold face became snow-white without a trace of blood.
Amid everyone's shocked and puzzled looks, the old man let go of his hand.
A ball of something quickly bloomed in his hand like a flower.
This flower is bright red.
This is a bright red priest's robe.
I don't know what kind of material it was made of. In the old man's hands, it was pressed into a small ball. However, after the old man let go, it quickly stretched and turned into a bright red priest's robe that shone like ceramics.
.
The bright red priest's robe is also embroidered with the strange bright red silk thread with the patterns of a three-tailed black fox cat and a Yunqin phoenix.
Qiu Mochi's breathing stopped completely.
Because he knew very well that in Yunqin, this kind of bright red priest's robe only represented one meaning, and that was the high priest of the priest's hall!
The red-robed high priest is protected and respected by all priests, and has the power to remove and promote priests!
"Is this for me?" Lin Xi looked at the priest's robe and asked.
Yuhua Shanhe laughed heartily, with even more wrinkles on his face: "You still ask knowingly... As a spiritual priest, when you faced the enemy in Falling Star Mausoleum, you only passed on the white robe of an ordinary priest apprentice. This is against the rules.
...But considering that you often go deep into the battlefield and return the glory, the priest's robe is indeed easy to be damaged and lost, so the priest's palace made this priest's robe for you. This priest's robe is not easy to be damaged. Don't wear the wrong one in the future.
."
Yuan Tianyu and others were also so shocked that it was difficult to breathe.
This means that... the Priest Hall has passed a resolution to allow Lin Xi to enter the Priest Hall and become the red-robed high priest?!
Lin Xi took a deep breath and sighed with obvious surprise: "I'm the red-robed high priest now?"
"It's a trainee... This is the word set by Dean Zhang." Yuhua Shanhe looked at Lin Xi and said: "You can exercise all the powers of the red-robed high priest, but if there is anything that taints the light within three years, you will be punished.
You will immediately lose your qualifications as a red-robed high priest."
"That's not the same." Lin Xi smiled and took the priest's robe that Yuhua Shanhe handed to him. However, his smile froze and his mouth turned into a shocked expression. Because the large, soft-looking robe in his hand
The red priest's robe actually weighed at least twenty kilograms.
Yuhua Shanhe seemed to have known that Lin Xi would react like this, and smiled again. He just looked at Lin Xi and thought of some things that happened many years ago, but there was some inexplicable emotion in his eyes.
Lin Xi curled her lips in embarrassment, then became serious, glanced at the pale Qiu Mochi, and said: "Master Qiu, you won't question my identity now, right?"
Yuhua Shanhe glanced at Qiu Mochi and said calmly: "This has nothing to do with him anymore. The priest's palace doubts his character, and the official department will conduct a suspension review."
Qiu Mochi's mouth suddenly opened, but no sound came out, and his official uniform was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
However, seeing him in a state of despair, which was in sharp contrast to his previous calm and indifference, Lin Xi shook her head, "Isn't that too gentle?"
"Too light?" Yuhua Shanhe frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "Not a person..."
Lin Xi smiled and said: "Since it is a counterattack... there should be a counterattack, and it should make people feel a little awe."
Yuhua Shanhe pondered slightly and said: "Okay, since his character needs to be tested, the front line is naturally the best place for him to prove himself."
Qiu Mochi still couldn't make a sound.
His confidant, the round-faced official from the Military Supervisory Office, was trembling all over. He was in a very strong dizziness... He originally wanted the other party to prove it, but now it was completely reversed.
