Chapter 347 The last day
On the waterside pavilion, Zhou Ji sat cross-legged, and the sound of horseshoes from the lake gradually faded away. Although separated by a screen and wall, he could still clearly see Ye Hongyu stepping into the capital posthouse alone. The figure of the courtyard.
Lacking the sword sage Liu Bai's Dahe Sword Intent, Ye Hongyu at this time has learned the Qionghua Immortal Technique and holds the Three-Start Thunder Curse in his hand, and he is invincible against the Judgment Priest.
Zhou Ji was not too worried about this.
On the Siguo Cliff on the mountain behind the academy, Sangsang waited all night without waiting for the rain cloud she saw yesterday. She finally put last night into the cliff cave. Before she straightened up to wipe off her sweat, she heard a cry The dull rolling thunder came from the direction of Chang'an.
It was as if black clouds were pressing down on the city, and earth-shattering thunder appeared with the flames. Deep in this thick, dark cloud, gaps were split, and flames rolled in the gaps. If Ning Que could come out of the cliff hole, he would definitely be able to recognize the dark clouds. The flames of Brahma that boiled in the cracks in the clouds were exactly the beast Suzaku that he had alarmed on Suzaku Avenue.
Seeing that Sangsang hadn't moved for a long time, Ning Que put down the scroll in his hand and looked out of the cave curiously. He saw her standing outside the cave holding a pile of clothes and bedding, staring blankly in the direction of Chang'an.
"What's the matter? Is it going to rain again?" Ning Que looked at Sangsang's mournful face. Although he felt bad, he still laughed out loud and asked tentatively, "Then move back?"
"Move!" Sangsang nodded vigorously, raised her arms slightly, lifted up the quilt that had slipped a little, and moved towards the cliff cave with her body on her back, "The thunder is so loud, the rain clouds It’s so heavy, I’ll definitely drop it this time.”
Ning Que verbally agreed, watching Sangsang strenuously moving towards the cliff cave with his body upside down, but he didn’t even get up.
Boom~!
The third thunder rang out. If an ordinary person used the Thunderbolt Sword to cast a thunder curse, one thunder would exhaust mana, two would burn out the essence and blood, and three would wipe out all souls.
As the thunder pattern on Ye Hongyu's palm dissipated, the entire post house was blown into a deep pit with a radius of more than ten feet by the earth-shattering thunder.
Deep in the dark clouds, thunder and fire surged, and a Suzaku croaked, and the dark clouds and thunder disappeared. Only the giant flame bird with wings spread a few feet looked out of the city solemnly, and then went out.
Zhou Ji got up and took a step, his figure disappeared from the attic by the Yanming Lake, and when his feet landed, he was already outside the ruins of the post house, blocking in front of the Great Priest of Heaven.
"Who are you?" The priest of Tianyu frowned slightly, stepped forward slightly, looked up and down at the young man who appeared suddenly, and suddenly said, "You are Zhou Ji?"
Zhou Ji didn't answer, but turned around to look at the ruins of the post house billowing in smoke, and said with a smile, "The internal affairs of the Judgment Division should be resolved by them internally. Why bother interfering with the priests of Heavenly Mandate."
The priest of Tianyu sneered, "I haven't seen you in a few months, Ye Hongyu's cultivation base has soared, not only broke through the fate-knowledge realm, but also learned the secret art of Taoism, the three thunderbolts just now must have been written by you, right?"
Zhou Ji said with a half-smile, "Where did Ye Hongyu get the name Daoist? Isn't it because she is a great practitioner who knows all kinds of dharma, regardless of the name of talisman master, psychic master, and sword master? Zhishou Guan is a Taoist Inheritance, living in the same place as Taoshan is an unknowable place in Xiling, so can't her brother teach her to learn Leifa?"
The God of Heaven didn't believe Zhou Ji's words at all. Ye Su walked as the Xiling world, and he was the best at lightning skills. Very similar, what the other party said was just to get out of the matter and reduce Ye Hongyu's crimes below to compete for the seat of God.
Not far in front of him, a pale golden light curtain cleared the flying dust. No, it should be the former judge priest who paled and struggled to get up from the pit. Burn marks.
"Ye Hongyu! Could it be that you really want to apostate?"
Ye Hongyu looked at the priest in front of him indifferently. At this time, he no longer had the cold aura of the past, nor the contempt that overlooked everything in the world.
Even the hissing and reprimanding now, there is nothing left but a stern panic.
Turning his head to look at the priest of Tianyu and the guards of the Judgment Department, the judge said angrily, "Ye Hongyu has committed the crime below and has betrayed Xiling. Why don't you quickly capture him and hand him over to the headmaster?!"
The Temple of Judgment punishes the world on behalf of Haotian, and follows extremely realistic and cruel rules. Strongness represents everything, and the weak deserve to be bullied.
Regardless of power or rank, it is only related to whether you are strong or not. If you are no longer strong, then you are no longer qualified to have a powerful position, and you should not even live anymore. If you become strong again, then you can regain a position of power.
Everyone in Xiling present knew this. The priest of Heavenly Mandate looked at the judge priest who looked like a bereaved dog with a complicated expression, and lowered his slightly raised palm.
He didn't move, and the rest of the guards of the mission didn't dare to step forward. The Tang emperor and the national teacher Li Qingshan in the Tang Palace stood on the high wall and looked at the ruined post house without feeling the slightest distress or displeasure, even I hope that the internal strife in Xiling will become bigger.
It would be best for both of the two priests to die at the hands of Ye Hongyu, and then Ye Hongyu defected to Xiling, triggering a break between Xiling Temple and Zhishouguan, and completely weakening the biggest force that permeates the entire Haotian world.
Ye Hongyu looked calmly at the ruling priest and said, "I remember you said that as long as I have the ability to kill you, I will dare to kill you. This is the rule Haotian bestowed on us."
Seeing that no one was willing to help him, the adjudication priest quickly begged for mercy. He was willing to forgive Ye Hongyu's crimes and cancel the punishment of dismissal and copying files, so that she could be the head of the adjudication department, and even the commander of the cavalry.
After hearing the words of the Great Priest of Judgment, Ye Hongyu smiled slightly. The Temple of Judgment has never been a tolerant place.
Ye Hongyu is not a tolerant person either.
Zhou Ji is gentle and kind, and doesn't like killing people, so she never showed her fierce side in front of Zhou Ji.
As I have repeatedly said before: Her name of Daoist is not the reputation of "Bookworm" and "Nympho" like Mo Shanzhu and Lu Chenjia, but is dyed red with this blood.
At the moment when the beautiful face showed a smile, a sword stabbed out, and the dazzling light swayed across the world. Li Qingshan's complexion on the palace wall changed slightly. Cover Tang Huang's eyes; and He Mingchi, the disciple he sent to the post house, cried out in pain when the light passed by his eyes, his eyes were tightly closed like needles, and tears flowed down.
The point of the sword pierced through the chest, and countless blood splashed out from the terrifying wound on the chest of the adjudicating priest, adding a bit of color to Ye Hongyu's bright red long dress.
Walking to Zhou Ji's side, Ye Hongyu looked at the Xiling guards without squinting. He was silent all the time, without any expression on his face. He was extremely calm, so he became extremely cold.
This is the Ye Hongyu that Zhou Ji has never seen before, and it is also the self that Ye Hongyu has never shown in front of Zhou Ji.
Both are "superior persons", Mo Shanshan, as the owner of Mochi Garden, has a close relationship with those seniors and sisters like family.
Ye Hongyu used to be the head priest of the Judgment Hall, but now she is the Judgment Priest. The majestic aura she displayed made all the Xiling guards and deacons of the Judgment Hall kneel on the ground, not daring to look up.
Even some timid people gritted their teeth in fear, but found that the sound was so clear in a quiet yard, they could only bury their heads a little deeper, a little deeper.
Just like the changing of dynasties in the mundane world, the inheritance of the Judgment God's Throne will often set off a **** storm.
The God of God sighed softly, and two of the kneeling deacons of the Judgment Hall were pulled out on the spot, dragged to the former Judgment Priest and beheaded on the spot.
Besides the two of them, there were ten deacons under the former Judgment Priest. When the news of Ye Hongyu becoming the new Judgment Priest reached Xiling, they would naturally face the same result.
Ye Hongyu looked expressionlessly at the two guards who couldn't wait to show their loyalty, and said calmly, "The rest of the ruling guards are under your command, and you are the new deacons."
Zhou Ji watched with great interest as Ye Hongyu issued orders to take over the adjudication department. When everything subsided temporarily, the sky had gradually dimmed. He thought that Ye Hongyu would stay in the city and serve as a missionary to discuss the follow-up matters with the God of Heaven. , So he quietly left the post house and walked out of the city alone.
Looking at the door from the corner of his eyes, Ye Hongyu looked at Zhou Ji's leaving back, hesitant to speak, retracted his gaze and interrupted, "Although Sang Sang is the daughter of the light, she is also a member of the academy, and now the academy protects her." In the back mountain, if the academy does not let people go, can the God of Heaven be sure to forcibly take Sangsang away from Master, Mr. Da, Mr. Er and other gentlemen?"
"This..." the priest of Tianyu was silenced by Ye Hongyu.
Ye Hongyu said in a deep voice, "Mr. Zhou and I made a half-year agreement in front of my master, Mr. Shisan Ning Que, and the daughter of light. I have already sent someone to report to the head teacher. Unexpectedly, Luo Kedi deliberately Misinterpreting and slandering, blinding the headmaster, has already shown that I don’t know what the Heavenly Mandate priest thinks?"
The priest of Tianyu didn't know that there was a Siguoya behind the academy, but he learned from Ye Hongyu that it was amazing at the time.
It would take three years for Ke Haoran to get out of the cliff cave, he frowned thoughtfully, and sighed, "Forget it, since that's the case, I will send someone to report to the head teacher, as the adjudicating priest said, wait another five months .”
Ye Hongyu let out a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly ran outside the door after seeing off the priest of Heavenly Mandate. The night was dark, a moonless world, and the sparse stars could not illuminate the darkness. There was no one on the dark and desolate street, only the night wind whispering in the alley Whimpering, slipping into the cuff neck brings chills to the sidebones.
After chasing a few steps, Zhou Ji was still nowhere to be seen. Ye Hongyu frowned slightly and looked in the direction of Yanming Lake. She pointed at the sword and called out Zhu Xian's imitation sword. Cut through the night sky.
Zhou Ji walked to the lakeside, suddenly felt something in his heart, looked up at the streamer falling towards the water pavilion, and showed a faint smile.
Sunrise and sunset, time flows.
The news that Ye Hongyu became the new adjudication priest spread to Xiling like a bull into the sea, and there was no follow-up.
In the blink of an eye, there is only one month left before the half-year period. During the five months, Ye Hongyu has been living with Zhou Ji, and the relationship between the two has become closer.
Zhou Ji was still as usual, teaching Ye Hongyu to practice the Qionghua Immortal Technique every day, and occasionally went to the old library to discuss Haoran Qi with that female teacher. Unfortunately, in half a year, both Zhou Ji and Yu Lian had passed on their respective perceptions of Haoran Sword. For Ning Que, but he still couldn't break through the air wall and come out of the cliff cave.
At this point, even Zhou Ji was a little surprised.
Seeing that the time limit of half a year is getting closer and closer, when he talked about this with Yu Lian once, Yu Lian shook his head regretfully and said, "Xiao Shisan knew that you and the teacher were going to use this cliff-hole punishment to hone your skills. If he didn't know, he would have no way out, but now that he knows, there will be a speck of dust in his mind."
In this way, do you really have to wait for half a year to expire, let Ye Hongyu and the priest of Tianyu get the mission outside the gate of the academy, and force him to leave the cave to take Sangsang away?
Zhou Ji shook his head and sighed softly, looking in the direction of Siguoya, thoughtfully.
The appointment date is approaching, and the most anxious thing in my heart is Ning Que himself. After five months of nourishing his heart, he can see the progress of his cultivation and the perfection of his realm every day, but this is why even a little girl like Sangsang can be free. The cliff cave to enter and exit was blocked for five whole months.
Chen Pipi looked hesitantly at the top of the cliff not far away, took the jug from Zhou Ji's hand, and said hesitantly, "Can this work?"
"Why not? Do you still want to play with Tang Xiaotang?" Zhou Ji coughed lightly, showing threatening eyes.
Chen Pipi turned his head three times a step, until he reached the side of the cliff cave, he let out a long sigh of relief, and greeted Ning Que and Sang Sang pretending to be calm.
Seeing Chen Pipi going up the mountain, Zhou Ji turned back to the thatched cottage and reconfirmed the plan with Li Manman Junmo and several other gentlemen in the back mountain.
It was raining continuously for several days, and Ning Que was getting more and more stressed. In addition, he fell into a deep sleep last night. He didn't realize that only the whole Siguo Cliff was raining, and the alternation of day and night inside the cliff was also slightly different from the outside world.
At first the deviation was not very obvious, but with the daily accumulation, in Ning Que and Sangsang's knowledge, the time has already exceeded one day, and in their knowledge, Ye Hongyu led a team of chariots and horses on the last day , stopped in front of the academy.
When Chen Pipi told Ning Que about this, he wiped out Ning Que's last luck.
In the thatched cottage in the back mountain, the master looked in the direction of the back mountain and shook his head and sighed softly, "If you are not crazy, you can't survive. This is Xiao Shisan's last hope. It's rare that you care about him so much."
Zhou Ji slowly nodded towards Li who handed him the sauce, looked at the mutton rolling in the hot pot, and said with a smile, "Liking is often a very powerful motivation, he doesn't want Sangsang to accompany him to suffer on the cliff, Sangsang doesn't want to leave him and go back to the capital to enjoy the blessings, even if he didn't have this experience, he wouldn't let Sangsang be trapped on the Cliff of Thoughts forever, it's just a matter of time."
