Nightfall Chapter 183: Arrangements for the adjudication of great priests

Volume One, Early Morning Empire, Chapter 183, Arrangements for Ruling the Great Priest

The middle-aged Taoist reached out and closed the classics, took his hands and walked out of the thatched hut slowly, looking at his companions under the stone steps, and said: "Unexpectedly, among the younger generation, there will be so many people on the Japanese scroll."

The Taoist under the stone steps asked doubtfully: "Who is scrolling today?"

"Ning Que."

"This name seems to be familiar...Is that the scholar who defeated Longqing?"

"Yes, although this son has not yet been promoted to Dongxuan, he is already enlightened, so he is eligible for scrolling."

The Taoist under the stone steps was slightly startled, and immediately said in admiration: "The Master is really amazing."

"Yes." The Taoist shook his head and said with mixed emotions: "Although the master was not in Chang'an when this little guy named Ning Que entered the second floor of the college, he was his student after all. . At such a young age, I began to climb the Tao of Fu, more than ten years later, I believe this name will definitely appear in the first few pages of the Japanese scroll."

After talking about this, and talking a little gossip, the Taoist said goodbye to his companions and walked forward along the edge of the secluded lake in front of the thatched cottage, accompanied by the lake, mountains, forest and wind. It didn’t take long. Then walked out of Taoist temple.

Facing the breeze blowing from under the cliff, the Taoist squinted his eyes to the faintly visible mountain and the majestic Taoist temples in the distance, smiled slightly, and his smile was full of tranquility.

The outer wall of the simple and ancient Taoist temple behind you is quiet and speechless, as if you are also watching the prosperity and dignity of the world over there in peace. There is an old horizontal plaque on the Taoist temple that has been left with countless traces of wind and rain. Keep the word.

……

……

Hundreds of kilometers to the east is the sea of ​​storms. After the terrifying and terrifying hurricanes of the four seasons landed ashore, they were blocked by the hills and mountains and turned into a light breeze here, with plenty of moisture. And Qingliang, but there is no destructive ability, so the summer here is completely without the dullness of Chang'an City.

The area of ​​this country is small, and it is not prosperous because of the underdevelopment of commerce. Except for those devout believers who bow their heads around the mountains and worship the sky, there are not too many idlers. However, the sinister hurricane here melts the breeze and drizzle, the mountains are beautiful but not dangerous, the water is quiet and soft but not turbulent, there are fertile plains, and there are forests in the middle of the deer. It is really a place of grace. There are Qingmei hills across the west, hence the name Xiling.

The mountain that can be seen from a distance by Zhishou Guan in the deep mountains is called Momoyama. Although the peach blossoms on the mountain were cut off by someone carrying wine and holding a sword many years ago, the fertile land has been restored as it was by the spring weather and rain. The heterogeneous peach blossoms planted in the mountains have been in full bloom from early spring to late summer. Eye-catching.

There are a few extremely neat and smooth cliffs above Taoshan, as if the sky is lowering the power of the sky, and it is split out with a giant axe. On the cliffs, there are countless Taoist temples of different styles. Together they became a group of magnificent and majestic temples, which is the Xiling Temple.

The temple is built on Taoshan Mountain and is divided into three floors. There are four most magnificent Taoist temples on the upper cliff surface closest to the sky. Among them, the Taoist temple near the cliff is made of huge black stones and is square in shape. Like ordinary Taoist buildings, they watched those believers who bowed their heads on the mountain road forever with indifference.

The Black Taoist Temple is extremely empty and magnificent. There is a curtain woven of pearls and jade hundreds of meters deep. Behind the curtain is a **** seat carved from a whole square of South China Sea ink jade. One of the three great priests of the Haotian God Sect Priests, usually sit under the seat of the gods and listen to reports from subordinates, and deal with Taoist affairs.

The ruling priest wore a red robe. Today, he did not order his subordinates to lift the bead curtain, but looked at the curtain blankly, as if he wanted to look at all the pearls and jade on the powder.

As one of the three great priests of the Xiling Temple, the ruling chief judges the rulings. He is in charge of the most terrifying violent institution of the Haotian Dao Sect. He has the most powerful practitioners in the Dao Sect. He has the strongest strength on the bright side. The reputation of the world is also the most terrifying. For countless years, I don't know how many foreign heretics have been secretly arrested because of his words, and I don't know how many demon sect remnants have been turned into ghosts in the fire because of his lightly raised tail.

In the eyes of hundreds of millions of people in the world, the master of Xiling Temple, Haotian, may not be as scary as the ruling priest wearing a red robe. There are even rumors that the ruling robe of the ruling priest did not adopt the ruling. The main color of the Secretary is pure black, but bright red, because it is stained with the blood of all the enemies.

For such a great priest who is at the pinnacle of the world and possesses the supreme terrifying authority, when there is no expression on his face and his eyes are indifferent, don't say that the square bead curtain in front of him will be scared into powder, even if It is those great swordsmen who walk in the world with swords and are not afraid of the king's power. They are afraid that their hearts will burst.

However, the square bead curtain in front of the ruling priest 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 covers the body and face of the person outside the curtain, only the bottom pair of shoes can be seen, the red and **** shoes embroidered with a few small fishes, and the extremely fluffy red that hangs down to the knees The skirt is obviously a woman.

The ruling **** left his eyes from the corner of the red skirt, slowly raised his head, and asked with a blank expression: "Why hasn't Long Qing come back?"

The woman outside the curtain replied: "Why didn't that coward in Longqing come back? How do I know? I have never been in charge of personnel since I took charge of the adjudication department. Why did you ask me, Master?"

The crisp voice appears clearer through the bead curtain. She should be young, she is still a young girl.

The ruling priest's eyes drooped 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 slightly sarcastically: "Ning Que is Long Qing’s opponent. If he can't even kill such a small reptile of the unconfused state, would he still expect me to take action? I would think this is an insult. ."

The light in the eyes of the ruling great priest suddenly burst, and then quickly disappeared, and said without emotion: "Long Qing is defeated by this person. Naturally, he will win and regain his heart. But I must remind you that this person is now It's only in the state of unconfined, just a humble little crawler in your eyes, but after all he has entered the second floor of the academy and became a student of the Master. Even if you pay attention to him in advance, it is not an insult."

"Learning Talismans from Master Yan Se may not necessarily be the second Master Yan Se. I don’t think he has any qualifications to be worthy of my attention.” The girl in red outside the curtain proudly said: "Uncle Master, you should be very clear that my goal has always been Jun Mo, and other people are not qualified to distract me."

"Jun Mo, the second disciple of the academy..." The ruling priest sighed softly, and a trace of mockery appeared on the old face, not knowing whether he was mocking the woman outside the curtain or other ignorant people.

"Several years ago, the head teacher took you back to the ceremony. You had the opportunity to read the Japanese scroll once. After you saw Jun Mo's name, it was difficult to calm down, because you can't imagine how it is possible in the world. There is a spiritual genius who has so far surpassed you, so you have always wanted to surpass this enemy you have never met."

The ruling priest 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 this seat and your brother dare not lie. The winning Jun Mo, what qualifications do you have to be his opponent? How can you be in the eyes of the extremely proud Second Brother of the Academy?"

Where the sound falls, I don’t know where Taoshan is blowing. A gust of wind blows through the empty and magnificent palace. The bead curtain in the depths of the palace shakes gently, making a crisp sound, shaking uneasy. Outside the bead curtain, one could vaguely watch the lace on the girl's red dress rising in the wind.

The most powerful throne under his command was vexed because of being underestimated, but the ruling priest seemed to be observing nothing, and continued blankly: "The situation in the wasteland recently seems to be a bit unstable. The deserted people continue to move south. Knowing where their final footsteps will be, the head teacher 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, the divine edict is about to be issued. I rule that the general manager must take the first step. "

The girl in red outside the curtain was obviously surprised. After a moment of silence, she said: "After all, it's just a small thing. I'm eager to clear the ground in the mountains. Please choose another person."

The ruling 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 moved Chen Pipi away from Xiling, when your brother wanted to slash you with a sword, palm Master Teach and I saved you at all costs. But you need to know that talent and perseverance are not the absolute guarantee of pride."

"Your brother is proud and calm, Junmo is proud and dull. That's because they have already stood on the pinnacle of the young generation in the world. They have strength and pride. Whether you or Longqing are good enough, you are not there. In an absolutely powerful field, as long as someone is sure to defeat you, you are not qualified to be proud, because this kind of pride without absolute strength guarantee will greatly hinder your Taoist cultivation."

"Absolutely believe that what you believe in is right, and faith can be firm. Absolutely believe that no one can beat yourself, pride can be firm. People like your brother and Jun Mo have done this many years ago, and What about you? In the legends of the world, I ruled that the two masters of the division were great people. In fact, what is the great thing about you? Long Qing went to Chang'an Academy this time and was defeated in the hands of a young man who is not confused. Believe him There will be some feelings, but unfortunately, under the patronage of the master and me, you never have a chance to defeat once."

The girl outside the curtain was silent for a long time and asked: "Uncle Master, Master and you decided to let me go to the wasteland. Are you asking me to deliberately seek defeat?"

The ruling priest said indifferently: "The master of the academy once said that when you ask for benevolence, you can gain benevolence. And with regard to failure, failure is often undefeated, so let you seek defeat because you want you I can truly be undefeated in the future."

The red skirt was slightly swayed, and the girl outside the curtain saluted, then turned and left.

A priest of the adjudication secretary walked in from the side door of the main hall. He looked at the girl who was walking outside the hall on the bright golden beads, looked at the red dress waving in the wind, and couldn't help but shook his head. , After walking to the bead curtain, he respectfully saluted the ruling priest on the **** seat, and stopped talking.

Everyone in the Xiling Temple knows that the red-clothed girl’s elder brother must be the next Haotian Taoist leader, and she is very likely to become the next great judge, so this subordinate who is loyal to the great judge, I always felt that the previous reprimand of the great priest was too severe.

The ruling priest knew what the subordinate was thinking, and said blankly: "The head teacher and I let her go to the wasteland is to give her a chance to see how big the world is. The world praised her as a idiot. She is indeed a little bit obsessed, she would not have any opinions if she wants to come up with something that is good for the cultivation of Taoism."
