Chapter 617 All parties in action

Xiahou looked at the temple envoy who was covered in robes, with only his mouth and nose exposed, and said sarcastically: "The temple envoy is also afraid of the cold wind in the north?"

"What does the cold wind in the north mean? The coldest thing in the world is the ghostly human heart. General Xiahou, what do you think?" Priest Zimo, a confidant of the Judgment Department's Moyu throne, said tit-for-tat.

"I have known for a long time that nothing good will happen when the lackeys of the temple come to your door." Xiahou did not hide his disdainful attitude and continued: "What do you want to do when you come to me, general?"

After many years of wandering between the temple and the Tang Dynasty, the two sides had an unspeakable tacit understanding. If there was nothing important, the people in the temple would not appear in front of him so openly.

"General, do you know that you are in danger?" Priest Zimo said.

Xia Hou looked at him coldly and said, "If what you want to say is all useless nonsense, you can get out now."

Priest Zimo frowned, he did not expect Xiahou to be so strong.Thinking of his mission, Priest Zimo suppressed his dissatisfaction and said: "The victim of the old case 13 years ago has returned. This person's name is Ning Que. Now he has been recognized by the Master and has become the new dean of the academy."

"Your Majesty the Emperor has promised to overturn Lin Guangyuan's case. The imperial envoy Mei Yiqi, deputy general Chen Zixian, and military commander Yan Suqing who were involved in the frame-up of Lin Guangyuan have all been captured and imprisoned, and will be sentenced to death in the near future. Listen. It is said that even His Highness the Prince almost died."

Priest Zimo nodded, and I think Xiahou could understand the truth behind his words.

"In the old days, I was just following orders." After a long time, Xia Houcai said: "Besides, I will never regret what I did. I... was not wrong!"

"General Xiahou is very righteous, but it's a pity that no one in the court, from the emperor to the Gonggun princes, think so." Priest Zimo said.

Xia Hou stopped talking. Having lived in the Tang Dynasty for so many years, he knew very well how much people in this country respected the academy and the master.

After a long time, he said: "What do you want me to do?"

"We will create an opportunity for the general to face the academy dean alone. The rest depends on the general himself." Priest Zimo said.

"Why should I trust you, general?" Xia Hou raised his eyebrows.

"Li Qingshan has come to arrest you with the imperial edict. You can only believe us now." Priest Zimo took out a mutton-fat jade bottle and said: "Besides, this is our sincerity."

Xia Hou picked up the mutton-fat jade bottle, looked at it carefully and said, "Is this...Tongtian Pill?"

Tongtian Pill is the most precious elixir of Haotian Dao Sect, and it is also the magic medicine that Xiahou once longed for. His cultivation has been stuck at the peak of martial arts for a long time. Only magic medicine like Tongtian Pill can help him break through.

For a Tongtian Pill, he had made many secret attempts for the Xiling Divine Kingdom, but he had never been able to obtain it.This time, the temple actually gave him one directly and generously.

This behavior is so unusual, and it fully reflects the importance the temple attaches to Ning Que. But now, if he doesn't want to become a lost dog, he can only choose to cooperate with the temple.

"Speaking of which, where am I going?" Xia Hou asked.

"Our people will lead him to Yanming Lake, and then we will leave it to you." Priest Zimo said.

"Okay!" Xia Hou raised his head. His figure stood there like a javelin. His expression was solemn, as if it had never changed. Facing Ning Que, he was not afraid.

Kill or be killed, he was already prepared for everything.

……

Xiling Divine Kingdom, Youge

Xiling Peach Mountain is also known as Shenshan. On the side of the mountain facing the sun facing south, there are thousands of pink peaches in full bloom.

On the other side of the mountain is a steep cliff. The smooth boulders seem to have been split by the gods. There are almost no cracks and soil. Not to mention the peach blossoms, not even a single weed can survive on it. That is the Youge. location.

Youge is the place where the Judgment Department of the Temple is responsible for detaining prisoners. It is located deep underground at the back foot of Taoshan Mountain. It never sees the sun. For thousands of years, countless powerful demon sects and unruly people who violated Haotian's teachings have been imprisoned here. Then he was either executed or imprisoned.

The High Priest of Judgment, Mo Yu, came to You Pavilion and called the priest responsible for guarding You Pavilion: "How is the High Priest of Guangming now?" When the High Priest of Guangming heard the five words "Great Priest of Guangming", his body suddenly stiffened and he lowered his head to answer. He said: "The old man recited religious scriptures every day as before, and he looked...nothing strange."

The High Priest of Judgment propped up his jaw and closed his eyes in deep thought for a long time. He tapped the armrest with his right index finger. Suddenly he opened his eyes and said without emotion: "Let us know that the case 13 years ago was vindicated by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

After a moment of silence, Priest Youge asked cautiously: "Dear God, what is the purpose of releasing these messages?"

The Black Jade Goddess did not answer, and continued: "In an old case back then, one person escaped from death, and he is the current dean of the academy. His name is Ning Que."

After saying that, the Black Jade Goddess stood up slowly, turned his back to everyone and said: "Don't ask more, don't say more, you know what to do, right?"

Priest Youge was shocked, and his attitude became more and more respectful: "I understand!"

Only then did the Black Jade Goddess walk out of the You Pavilion, from the dark place to the light, looked at the sunlight falling from the sky, and murmured to himself: "Wei Guangming, Wei Guangming, I want to take a look at you. Will you take the bait next time?"

Under the dim pavilion, there is a door deep in the fog, and behind the door is a gloomy world.

The faint smell of blood echoed in the dry passage, and the dim yellow bean-spot light shone on the iron wall, giving the complex and gorgeous rune lines on the wall a strange and heavy meaning.

The passage seemed to have no end. It was not until the passage seemed to run through the entire sacred mountain that a wooden fence appeared.

This wooden fence looks ordinary, not any precious wood, and there are no runes written by the talisman master on it. The wooden bars are very wide, so wide that a person can walk out casually.

However, it was this wooden fence left by the previous ruling priest that imprisoned Wei Guangming for 13 years.

As if gibbering, Priest Youge gently told the person inside the wooden fence what the Black Jade God had ordered.

Guangming Great Priest Wei Guangming finally raised his head in front of people for the first time in his life.

The old man's face was extremely thin, his expression was calm and peaceful, and his deep-set eye sockets were filled with holy light.

That ray of light is so peaceful and pure, without any impurities or dirt, as if it can see through everything in the world, and can see the darkness between the appearance and heart of everything in the world and everyone, it is extremely bright.

"Go get Wu Ming!" Wei Guangming said after a long time.

Priest Youge seemed to understand something and said tremblingly: "Yes!"

He did not dare to refuse Wei Guangming's instructions, because he knew that this was what the Black Jade God wanted him to do.

Wei Guangming looked at the retreating figure of Priest Youge and couldn't help but sigh.Darkness fell in Chang'an. This was the revelation left to him by Haotian. He had to leave.

That night, the old man got up and walked to the row of loose and low wooden fences. He looked at the fence quietly and said, "I have no cage in my heart. How can a cage stop me? My heart is bright, how can I stop the light?" I?"

After saying this, the old man stretched out his hand to push the wooden fence, his movements were ordinary and casual, as if he was not getting out of years of trouble, but just wanted to leave the house, and pushed open the creaking wooden door at home.

When old fingers touched the wooden fence, the wooden fence was silently shattered into dust, turned into countless particles of shining dust and scattered everywhere, and then burrowed out of the small stone hole like a swarm of fireflies.

That night, fourteen priests in Momoyama were reduced to ashes in the light.

That night, a total of 300 people were executed in Xiling Temple.

That night, Wei Guangming, the great priest of Guangming, who had been imprisoned for 13 years, successfully escaped from the Xiling Temple.

He is the first prisoner in history who can leave the Youge at the back of Taoshan alive.
