Volume 1 The Empire of the Morning Chapter 183: The Arrangement of the Great Priest of Judgment
Volume One: The Empire in the Morning, Chapter 183: The Arrangement of the Judgment High Priest
The middle-aged Taoist reached out to close the classics, put his hands on his hands and walked out of the thatched house slowly. He looked at his companions under the stone steps and said, "I never thought that so many people in the younger generation would read the Japanese scrolls."
The Taoist at the foot of the stone steps asked in confusion: "Who is scrolling today?"
"Ning Que."
"This name seems familiar...is it the academy scholar who defeated Long Qing?"
"That's right. Although this boy has not yet advanced to Dongxuan, he has already achieved enlightenment, so he is qualified to enter the scroll."
The Taoist at the foot of the stone steps was slightly startled, and then said in admiration: "Master is really amazing."
"Yes." The Taoist priest from before shook his head and said with complicated emotions: "Although the master was not in Chang'an when this little guy named Ning Que entered the second floor of the academy, he was his student after all. At such a young age
I started climbing Fu Dao lightly, and more than ten years later, I believe this name will definitely appear on the first few pages of the Japanese scroll."
After saying this and some small talk, the Taoist said goodbye to his companions and walked forward along the edge of the lake in front of the thatched cottage. He walked along with the scenery of lakes, mountains and forests. It didn't take long before he walked out.
Taoist temple.
Facing the breeze blowing from the cliff, the Taoist squinted at the mountain that was vaguely visible in the distance and the majestic Taoist temples in the mountain. He smiled slightly, and his smile was full of tranquility.
The simple and ancient outer wall of the Taoist temple behind him is quiet and silent, as if he is also quietly watching the prosperity, solemnity and nobility of the world over there. There is an old horizontal plaque on the Taoist temple that has been left with countless traces by wind and rain, and the word "Zhi Shou" is written on the plaque.

…
Hundreds of kilometers away to the east is the Sea of Storms. After the four-season hurricanes that frighten the world land and land, they pass through the obstacles of hills and mountains and turn into a light breeze when they arrive here, carrying sufficient moisture and coolness.
But it doesn't have any destructive ability, so the summer here is not as dull as Chang'an City.
This country is not large in area, and it cannot be said to be prosperous because of underdeveloped commerce. Except for those believers who devoutly kowtow and circle the mountain to worship the sky, there are not many idle people. However, the dangerous hurricane turns into gentle breeze and drizzle here.
There are mountains that are beautiful but not dangerous, water that is gentle but not turbulent, fertile plains, and secluded forests where deer roar. It is truly a land favored by Haotian. Because there are beautiful hills stretching across the west, it is named Xiling.
.
The mountain that Zhi Shou can see from a distance is called Peach Mountain. Although the peach blossoms on the mountain were chopped off by someone with wine and a sword many years ago, thanks to the grace of Haotian, the spring breeze, rain and fertile land, they have long been restored to their original state.
, the exotic peach blossoms planted in the mountains are in full bloom from early spring to late summer, and they are dense, lush and eye-catching.
There are several extremely neat and smooth cliffs on Taoshan Mountain, as if the divine power from the sky came down and was chopped out with a giant axe. Countless Taoist temples of different styles are built on the cliffs. Together they form a
A splendid and solemn temple complex was built, which is the Xiling Temple.
The temple is built on Taoshan Mountain and is divided into three floors. On the upper cliff, which is closest to the sky, there are four most spectacular Taoist temples. Among them, the Taoist temple near the cliff is made of huge black stones, and its shape is not square like ordinary Taoist temples.
Buildings, forever looking indifferently at the believers prostrating themselves and kowtowing on the mountain road.
The main hall of the black Taoist temple is extremely empty and grand. There is a curtain made of pearls and jade hundreds of meters deep. Behind the curtain is a sacred throne made of a whole square of South China Sea ink jade. The Judgment Priest, one of the three major priests of the Haotian God Sect, usually
Bianli will sit under this divine throne to listen to reports from subordinate priests and handle Taoist affairs.
The High Priest of Judgment was wearing a red robe. Today, he did not order his subordinates to lift the bead curtain. Instead, he looked at the curtain with an expressionless face, as if he wanted to turn all the pearls and emeralds on it into powder.
As one of the three great priests of Xiling Temple, Judgment Chief Judicial Priest is in charge of the most terrifying violent organization of Haotian Dao Sect. He has the most powerful practitioners in Dao sect under his command. He is the most powerful on the surface and has a reputation in the world.
It is also the most terrifying. For countless years, countless heretics have been secretly arrested because of his words, and countless remnants of the Demon Sect have been turned into ghosts in the fire because of his slightly raised tail finger.
In the eyes of hundreds of millions of people in the world, Master Haotian, the master of the Xiling Temple, may not be as scary as the Judgment Priest wearing a red divine robe. There are even rumors that the reason why the Judgment Priest's robe is not made of the Lord of the Judgment Division.
The color is pure black, but bright red because it is stained with the blood of all enemies.
Such a great priest who is at the pinnacle of the human world and possesses supreme terrifying authority. When his face has no expression at all and his eyes are cold, not to mention that the square bead curtain in front of him will turn into powder in fear, even those who insist on it.
Swords travel in the world, and there is no great swordsman who is not afraid of the royal power. I am afraid that his heart will break with fear.
However, the square bead curtain in front of the high priest who ruled today was not broken.
The person on the other side of the bead curtain was not frightened and fell to the ground, but still stood calmly.
The bead curtain covered the body and face of the person outside the curtain, and only the bottom pair of shoes could be seen, which were as red as blood and embroidered with several small fishes, and the extremely fluffy red skirt that hung down to the knees.
It's obviously a woman.
The great judge looked away from the corner of the red dress, slowly raised his head, and asked expressionlessly: "Why hasn't Long Qing come back yet?"
The woman outside the curtain replied: "Why doesn't that coward Long Qing come back? How do I know? I have never been in charge of personnel affairs since I took charge of the Judgment Department. Why do you ask me, uncle?"
The crisp voice sounded even clearer through the bead curtain. She must be young, still a girl.
The ruling priest lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Ning Que's name appears on the Japanese scroll."
The girl outside the curtain was silent for a moment and then said sarcastically: "Ning Que is Long Qing's opponent. If he can't even kill such a small reptile who is not confused about the realm, do you still expect me to take action? I will consider this an insult."
The light in the eyes of the ruling priest suddenly shone, then quickly faded, and he said without emotion: "Long Qing was defeated at the hands of this person, so naturally he has to win and regain his Taoist heart, but I must remind you that although this person is still only in
Buhuo Realm, in your eyes, is just an inconspicuous little reptile, but after all, he has entered the second floor of the academy and has become the master's student. Even if you pay attention to him in advance, it is not an insult."
"Learning Talismans from Master Yan Se does not necessarily mean that you will become the second Master Yan Se. I think that at least now he has no qualifications worthy of my attention." The girl in red outside the curtain said proudly: "Uncle Master.
, you should know very well that my goal has always been Jun Mo, and other people have no right to distract me."
"Jun Mo, the second disciple of the academy..." The High Priest Judgment sighed softly, and a trace of ridicule appeared on his old face. He didn't know if he was mocking the woman outside the curtain or other ignorant people.
"A few years ago, the headmaster took you back to the viewing ceremony. You had the opportunity to read the Japanese scroll. After you saw Jun Mo's name, you couldn't calm down because you couldn't imagine how there could be such a thing in the world.
Far surpassing your cultivation genius, so you always want to surpass this enemy you have never met."
The High Priest of Judgment looked at the woman in red outside the bead curtain and said calmly: "You said that other people are not qualified to distract you, but have you ever thought about it? Even I and your brother don't dare to say that we will win.
Jun Mo, what qualifications do you have to be his opponent? How can you be in the eyes of the extremely proud Second Senior Brother of the Academy?"
Where the sound fell, a gust of wind blew from nowhere in Taoshan, passing through the empty and magnificent palace, causing the bead curtain deep in the palace to sway gently, making a crisp sound, and the bead curtain shook uneasily.
Outside, you can vaguely see the laces on the girl's red dress rising in the wind.
The most powerful minister under his command was secretly angry because he was slighted, but the High Priest of Judgment seemed oblivious and continued expressionlessly: "The situation in the wasteland seems to be a bit unstable recently. The people in the wasteland continue to move south. I don't know what their final outcome will be."
Wherever your footsteps will go, the headmaster is worried that the remnants of the Demon Sect will take advantage of the situation to rise again, and in response to the signs in the heavenly book, he is about to issue an edict of the divine religion. It is natural that I, the Adjudicator, will take the first step, and you will set off for the north immediately."
The girl in red outside the curtain was obviously surprised. After a moment of silence, she said: "After all, it's just a small matter. I am eager to clear the mountain and break the realm. Please choose another person."
The Judgment Grand Temple calmly looked at the figure of the girl outside the curtain and said: "The temple recognizes your talent and perseverance in cultivation, so when you deliberately made Chen Pipi angry and left Xiling, and your brother wanted to kill you with a sword, the Master and the
I saved you at all costs. But you need to understand that natural perseverance is not an absolute guarantee of pride."
"Your brother is proud and calm, and Jun Mo is proud and dull. That's because they have already stood at the pinnacle of the younger generation in the world. They are proud of their strength. No matter you or Long Qing, although they are good enough, you are not in that absolutely powerful group.
In the field, as long as someone is sure to defeat you, you have no right to be proud, because this kind of pride that is not guaranteed by absolute strength will be a great obstacle to your Taoist cultivation."
"Only when you absolutely believe that what you believe in is right can you be firm in your faith. Only when you absolutely believe that no one can defeat you can you be firm on pride. People like your brother and Jun Mo have done this many years ago, but what about you?
According to the legends of the world, the two chief ministers of our Adjudication Department are both great figures. In fact, what are you so great about? Long Qing went to Chang'an Academy this time, but was defeated miserably at the hands of a young man who was not confused. I believe he will achieve something.
Feelings, it’s a pity that you never have the chance to defeat me under the favor of the headmaster and me.”
The girl outside the curtain was silent for a long time and then asked: "Uncle Master, Master and you decided to let me go to the wasteland. Do you want me to deliberately seek defeat?"
The ruling priest said indifferently: "The master of the academy once said that only by seeking benevolence can you gain benevolence. As for failure, seeking defeat is often the only way to be undefeated, so I ask you to seek defeat in the hope that you can truly succeed in the future.
Undefeated."
The red skirt swayed slightly, and the girl outside the curtain saluted, then turned and left.
A priest from the Judgment Department walked in from the side door of the hall. He looked at the girl who was walking out of the hall on bright golden beads. He looked at the red dress swaying in the wind. He couldn't help but shook his head and walked to
Behind the bead curtain, he bowed respectfully to the ruling priest on the throne, but hesitated to speak.
Everyone in the Xiling Temple knows that the brother of the girl in red must be the next Haotian Dao leader, and she is very likely to become the next Judgment Priest, so this subordinate who is loyal to the Judgment Priest always feels that
The priest's previous reprimand was too harsh.
The High Priest of Judgment knew what this subordinate was thinking, and said expressionlessly: "The Headmaster and I asked her to go to the wasteland to give her a chance to see how big the world is. The world praises her as a Taoist idiot, and she does have a lot.
She will not have any objections to things that are beneficial to spiritual practice."
