Leaving the white temple at the top of the peak, Ye Hongyu walked down the mountain path, gathering clouds in her skirts along the way. Her mind finally became clearer, and when she arrived on the cliff flat, she was as calm as water.
Looking at the small stone houses deep in the cliff, her eyes were as quiet as water.
The next moment, her heart was as hard as iron.
This cliff flat and the small stone house are very meaningful to her, not only as a memorial.
Back then, she was forced to fall from the demonic clutches of Liansheng at the Demon Sect Mountain Gate, and her Taoism and cultivation were greatly damaged. After returning to Taoshan, many people thought that she would never have a chance to recover in this life. She was looked down upon and even...
The headmaster asked her to marry the commander Luo Kedi...
She shut herself into a small stone house and continued to practice in silence. She knew that she could overcome all obstacles. Then she received another letter from Jiange.
She became powerful again, she killed the previous high priest of judgment, became the youngest high priest in the history of Xiling Temple, and began to write her own legend.
After that day, Luo Kedi was no longer a problem, and even being the head teacher was no longer a problem. There was no problem in the world that could stump her.
Including the few words Ning Que said today and the question the academy asked her, it was still not a problem for her. She came to the stone house at this time, not to ask the person in the room to help relieve her confusion and pain, but to
It is to collect the reward you deserve after you provide the answer.
She did not betray the Taoist sect, did not take action against the headmaster, did not tear the Taoist sect into pieces with the Judgment Temple, she ignored Ning Que's invitation, did not take a step closer to the academy, she still stayed on Taoshan, then she put herself
In danger.
Now, she was alone and taking great risks.
She has the right to ask the man in the stone house for everything she wants.
Dusk fell on Peach Mountain at some unknown time, dyeing the robe of the God of Judgment on her body redder and heavier, as if it had been soaked in blood for thousands of years before it was put on again.
She stood quietly in front of the stone house, but did not look into the house, because the person who was supposed to be in the house was sitting on the edge of the cliff watching the sunset in a wheelchair.
"Although I don't know what the specific matter is, I think that since Ning Que chose to put that sentence at the end, it must be extremely important."
The old man in the wheelchair did not look back and said calmly.
Ye Hongyu said: "It is important to me, but not important to the world. In other words, it is important to the past, but not important to the present."
The visitor said: "It is still important after all."
Ye Hongyu said: "But I don't want to hear it."
"The attitude Ning Que told you is not correct enough."
The visitor smiled and said: "I sent two people to say seven sentences, and then asked you to go through life and death for the academy. This is very disrespectful to you. After all, those seven sentences are not the Seven Volumes of the Heavenly Book."
Ye Hongyu said: "Indeed, this is also the reason why I don't want to listen to him."
The viewer said: "Because you have known the truth of the matter for a long time and are not shocked enough, it will be difficult to break through your defenses and make you make a decisive move."
Ye Hongyu said: "Ning Que and Yu Lian still looked down on me after all. The Demon Sect and the academy combined, maybe they can take over the world, but they can't figure out what I am thinking."
The viewer was sitting in a wheelchair and said with a smile: "I have said similar things before."
"I always knew it was Xiong Chumo."
Ye Hongyu said: "I didn't take action after the Light Festival, not because I wanted to see him linger, but because I knew you wouldn't allow it."
The master of the temple said: "I am the master of the Taoist sect and I will not be biased."
Ye Hongyu said: "I still won't take action, I may even never take action."
The viewer's eyes were soft and soft, and he said: "Because of faith? Because of devotion to Haotian?"
Ye Hongyu said: "It has nothing to do with faith.
The viewer smiled and said, "What does that have to do with?"
Ye Hongyu said: "I want to exchange Xiong Chumo's life for another."
The viewer laughed, shook his head and said, "First of all, you have to prove that you can take Xiong Chumo's life before you can exchange it for someone else's life."
Only what belongs to you can be exchanged for something else, otherwise it is stealing or robbing.
Xiong Chumo is the master of the temple, and he has broken through the fifth realm early in his practice. He suppresses evil spirits from all directions with the divine radiance of the Apocalypse. Except for peerless figures like the eldest brother and Yu Lian, who can dare to say that he will win?
No matter how amazing Ye Hongyu's talent is, no matter how versatile he is, he is still too young. Even if his level is at the peak of knowing his destiny, how can he take Xiong Chumo's life?
"Then, I'll trade myself for that life."
She said: "No matter how shameless Ning Que's role in this matter is, I am still very grateful to him and to the Twenty-Three-Year Cicada."
"Why?"
"Because the academy has proven my importance to the temple, they have tried their best to get my help, and the Taoist sect should also pay enough to convince me not to leave."
The viewer smiled and said nothing.
The life of the headmaster is indeed not in Ye Hongyu's hands, but she is the ruling priest, and she has countless loyal subordinates. If she betrays the Taoist sect, when the Temple of Light is deserted and the Temple of Heaven is left without an owner, it will be a huge blow to her. The heaviest blow to the Xiling Temple.
The academy had done everything possible to do this, and Yu Liang buried the thread a few years ago, waiting silently, hoping to see this scene, but she did not let this scene happen.
The master of the temple looked at the red clouds on the horizon and said leisurely: "He is my most outstanding disciple."
Ye Hongyu said: "When I was young, people in the audience thought he was not as good as Chen Pipi."
The viewer shook his head and said: "Don't talk about others, even I once thought so, but he proved that I was wrong, and everyone is wrong."
Ye Hongyu said, "So you think I'm not qualified to exchange his life?" From the divine kingdom of Haotian back to the secular earth. The Demon Sect only affects the world of cultivation, while the Protestant religion affects the entire human world. He has gone further than the Light God Throne a thousand years ago."
The viewer calmly said: "In this sense, he is the biggest traitor of the Taoist sect. He is the real gravedigger. Every time I think about this, as a teacher, I can't help but feel moved. I even feel faintly proud. Such a person People naturally cannot be exchanged easily."
Ye Hongyu looked at the sunset. There was the east, there was the sea, and Song Dynasty was on the seaside.
"You still insist on killing him?"
"Ning Que wants me to think more about the future of Taoism. In fact, he doesn't know that I have been thinking about it. The Protestant doctrine has become established, it will spread far and wide, and there will be many believers. Killing him can no longer change this situation. Why should I kill him? Why should I kill him and force you away?"
The viewer turned around, looked at her and said with a smile.
Ye Hongyu didn't know what Ning Que said to the viewer.
"I said before that you didn't leave because of your faith."
He looked at Ye Hongyu and said lovingly: "That belief is not about Haotian but Ye Su. Even if he is a useless person like me now, in your heart, he is countless times more important than Haotian. As long as he
He has a slim chance of survival, and you won't take the risk."
"I said Ning Que couldn't see himself clearly, so what he said to me was in vain. It's obvious that he didn't understand you, and what he said to you was also in vain."
Ye Hongyu remained silent. She admitted that this old man who was not her teacher, but was better than her teacher, had accurately grasped her psychology.
Her brother's survival is like a pool filled with thunder. Inside is his sword that once glorified the continent. She cannot take a step forward. As long as he lives, she can forget the humiliation that she cannot forget and the old things that she wants to forget. She can.
Face it calmly.
The academy cannot guarantee that he will live, so there is no point in doing anything else.
What's more, she knew very well how Ning Que was a selfish, cruel and shameless person. He had already proved it before, and today he proved it even more so that he would be the same in the future.
As dusk fades and night falls, the snow clouds drift away to nowhere, the sky is filled with stars, and there is a bright moon among the stars, shining on the world, including the cliffs of Taoshan.
The viewer looked up at the bright moon, remained silent for a long time, and then said something. His voice was very light, as light as the moonlight covering his body, as light as water, without emotion.
"I will give you Xiong Chumo's life."
Ye Hongyu saluted and left Yaping after getting the promise he wanted.
-Although in her words, the viewer did not promise anything except Xiong Chumo's death, she knew that her brother's life was saved, and neither Long Qing nor the drunkard who went to the Song Dynasty would take action, because the viewer made it very clear,
Killing Ye Su now will not do any good to Daomen.
The question is, could the academy not realize this? Could it be that what Ning Que did was really in vain and could only be described as a joke in history books in the future?
The viewer sways his hand in the cold night wind, as if trying to catch some moonlight.
"What is the old affair between the leader and the Judgment God?" asked the middle-aged Taoist.
The viewer shook his head and said, "I don't know, and I don't need to know.
The middle-aged Taoist was a little worried and said: "The Academy attaches great importance to this matter..."
The viewer said calmly: "The academy has always boasted that they only do interesting things and don't care about the meaning. In fact... they never do meaningless things, whether it's what they said to me or what they said to Ye Hongyu.
Words are all a game."
"Ning Que saw the destructiveness of Protestantism to Taoism and used it to convince me. I must admit that what he saw was accurate, although he did not see all the pictures."
"If he can convince me, the Taoist sect will naturally be defeated, or it will be over. If he can't convince me, Ye Su will die, then Ye Hongyu will rebel, and the Taoist sect will also be defeated."
If the middle-aged Taoist realized something, he looked at the back of the conservator and admired from the bottom of his heart: "If we don't do anything, there will be nothing the academy can do."
It seems that this is the response of the viewer, a perfect response to cope with the ever-changing situation by remaining unchanged. However... the viewer shook his head, looked up at the bright moon again, and remained silent.
Walking into the Judgment Temple, standing under the black stone pillars, looking at the snow-covered green mountains with his hands behind his hands, Ye Hongyu was silent for a long time, and his brows were gradually stained with frost by the night wind.
No one knew what she was thinking. The subordinates who were loyal to her and the girls who served her all stayed in the side hall with complicated expressions and did not dare to disturb her.
The moon moves and the stars stay the same, and the night becomes darker and darker.
She looked in the direction of the Song Kingdom, as if she could see the fighting there, the blazing holy fire, and the people biting each other like wild beasts for their faith.
There was no expression on her beautiful face, as if it were carved out of ice.
At this moment, slight footsteps sounded in the quiet Judgment Temple.
Logically speaking, even the slightest footsteps would wake up the black butlers in the side hall. However, what was a bit strange was that the man walked all the way behind her without encountering any obstruction.
Maybe it's because even the coldest Black Butler didn't dare to stop that person, or maybe even the strong men of the Judgment Department couldn't hear that person's footsteps.
He was a short old man who was described as wretched, with limbs as thin as dead branches.
Xiong Chumo, the headmaster of Xiling Temple, quietly came behind her when the night was dark.
Ye Hongyu looked toward the distant Song Dynasty, watching the distant snow clouds glowing faintly in the night sky, as if he could see a terrifying storm brewing on the sea.
Her face turned slightly pale, and her eyes gradually narrowed and turned into a thin line, a sword.
