The women were still restrained at first, but later the women in palace costumes took the lead, and they all opened up the chatterbox. In addition to talking about some past things as much as possible to win the trust of Indifferent Snow, there are naturally some confiding and grievances. Zhang Nan listened on the eaves, and gradually sorted out the context.

There were far more people exiled by the temple than just the two dozen women in front of them. In that year, because of the abduction of the First Holy Maiden, the temple directly abolished an institution, the Ethereal Palace.

The members of the Ethereal Palace were mostly women, and as a dedicated institution for the cultivation of saints, it was once one of the most powerful departments in the temple.

Although the temple was a whole on the outside, there were factional strife on the inside. For example, the Star and Moon Temple, which has 28 Nakshatras, and the Sanctuary, which is nominally under the direct control of the temple master. Within the Temple, the two institutions were the largest factions and were evenly divided. However, nearly twenty years ago, in fact, the Star and Moon Palace, the Holy Hall, and the Ethereal Palace stood on three legs.

Later, due to the abduction of the First Holy Maiden, many problems were exposed in the Ethereal Palace, and the powerful people of the temple took this opportunity to withdraw to the Ethereal Palace. Some of the original personnel of the Ethereal Palace were absorbed by other departments, and some of them were exiled like the women in front of them.

Now Zhang Nan and Indifferent Xue see only a small part. In fact, there are many more people, scattered all over the dome.

Generally speaking, if you are simply expelled, life may not be difficult. Especially in the general environment of Qiongzhou, there are more men than women, and the women in the temple are all talented and good-looking. Even if you can't make a world, it is not difficult to marry a wishful husband. For example, in the indifferent snow area now, all of them are not the wives of the head of the family, but they also have extraordinary status, and they should live well no matter how you look at it.

But between their words and demeanor, they give people a very painful feeling.

The temple doesn't want them anymore, but they still have to work for the temple with a cold ass, just to get forgiveness. Clearly, they did not have faith in the temple, but rather had a last resort.

Perhaps it was some kind of control, or maybe it was a special prohibition that kept them out of the control of the temple for the rest of their lives. Although no one said, Zhang Nan felt that it was probably the latter.

From the Holy Seal that can cross the border to kill people, to the identification of the bloodline of Indifferent Snow, it can be seen that the Holy Temple has quite clever means outside of martial arts. It's normal to plant any prohibitions in your body. And judging by the actions of these women, it seems that they want to hope that Indifferent Snow will solve their troubles.

Zhang Nan didn't relax his vigilance because these women were indifferent to Xue's mother's old department, and after these speculations now, he was even more vigilant.

To put it simply, this is a historical legacy. However, all the problems left over from history basically sound simple, but they are complicated to study in detail. Especially when it comes to dealing with it, it's quite a hassle.

The most common and bloody way is to repay the grievances of the previous generation and the next generation. Especially saints or something, they generally catch the daughters of saints. Either inherit the throne, or burn the heavens. The temple obviously has no shortage of reserve saints, and if the indifferent snow falls into the hands of the temple, the consequences are self-evident.

If these women wanted to bring Indifferent Snow back to the temple for the so-called atonement, then Zhang Nan would not pity Xiangyu.

"Do you want to take me back to the temple?" Indifferent Xue also guessed this possibility.

"Don't get me wrong, miss. The woman in the palace costume hurriedly said: "It was not easy for the holy woman to escape from that place, how can we let her daughter repeat the same mistakes." Moreover, the rules of the temple were harsh, and if the young lady fell into their hands, she would be more than lucky. ”

"Then what are you looking for me?" said indifferently, "It's not as simple as wanting to meet me just because of my mother, right?" or do you want to find my mother through me?"

"Miss, you don't have to be tempted. The palace woman was bitter: "We all know that the saint is no longer alive." ”

Indifferent Xue seemed to have the same expression, but only Zhang Nan could see that her body was trembling slightly.

Growing up, Indifferent Snow had almost no memory of her mother. But no one ever said that her mother was no longer alive. Even if Leng Xue is rational enough, if there is a slightest possibility, she is unwilling to think about it.

The woman in the palace said sadly: "We have all received the blessing of the Holy Light. Although he is now in exile, it is still impossible to escape the control of the temple. If the temple is willing, it can take our lives thousands of miles away. The Holy Maiden is the body of the Holy Son, and there is no danger of being cursed. But since she gave birth to you, the body of the Holy Son will be broken, and it will inevitably be impossible to escape death. ”

Indifferent Xue still didn't speak, but her body trembled more and more obviously.

There is no doubt that the so-called blessing of the Holy Light is more like a forbidden curse. Anyone who betrayed the temple was punished. The woman in the palace did not say it explicitly, but everyone could understand the meaning. Indifferent Xue's mother could have lived, but in order to give birth to her, she lost something to protect herself.

Zhang Nan crouched on the eaves, the joints of his fists turned white.

Indifference to Xue is because of her mother's heartshake, while Zhang Nan is distressed by Indifference Xue.

As the daughter of the Sword Tower, Indifferent Xue has never carried anything except for the bottleneck in martial arts. But in just a few months since she came to Qiongzhou, Lin Qingqing and Nalan Zishuang were seriously injured because of her, and now they know their life experience. Heavy pressure from scratch, completely without any psychological preparation.

This is also that the indifferent snow can still hold on, and the weak-willed ones know so many things at once, and they suffer blows in a row, but they are afraid that they will collapse long ago.

"What do you want to do when you tell me this?" Leng Indifferent Xue's heart hurt, but her consciousness was still clear. Perhaps it was the pain that made her mind clearer than ever.

"The blessing of the Light is not incomprehensible. The palace woman said: "Miss doesn't know that the so-called holy light blessing is actually a kind of scarab raised by the temple. The mother worm is in the temple, and the eggs are hidden in our veins. As soon as the order is given to the mother, the eggs will hatch, which can kill people. The eggs cannot be removed, but the mother can replace the ......"

The woman in the palace costume paused, and said stubbornly: "In the blood of the holy woman, there are eggs of the female worm. As soon as you hatch the eggs, you can take the place of the temple mother, and let me ask the temple to take control. ”

Zhang Nan listened to the woman in the palace there, and only felt uncomfortable.

It sounds a lot like a legendary Gu worm or something, but no matter what it is, it's uncomfortable to think about hatching bugs in your body.

But then again, these women are also gambling the same amount. For even if Indifferent Snow agrees, they have received it from the temple since childhood. But in fact, as soon as he turned his head, his life was equivalent to falling into the control of indifferent snow.

Of course, this does not mean that indifferent snow can pick up much cheapness.

These things are all palace women, and it is impossible to judge whether they are true or not. Besides, even if it's true, it's impossible to say whether it's dangerous to let the indifferent snow hatch a female worm.

For example, if it is a complete inheritance of the Xue Holy Maiden of the year, then once the indifferent snow hatches the female worm, she will have to bear the danger that the Xue Holy Maiden had to endure before.

If it is replaced by Zhang Nan, this matter must be treated carefully. For example, temporarily appease these women, and make a decision after doing research. With Zhang Nan's understanding of indifferent snow, he may not be as tactful as Zhang Nan's handling, but he will not be impulsive. But when Zhang Nan noticed the indifferent snow's eyes, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

It seems that indifferent to the snow has its own ideas.

"What do I need to do?" said Indifferent Xue in a very flat tone: "Hatching the so-called female worm should not be a simple matter. ”

"It's not easy, and that means you're openly hostile to the temple. The palace woman exchanged glances with the others, bowed her head again, and said in unison.

"We hope that Miss Hope will rebuild the Ethereal Palace, so that my sisters and sisters will have a place to live, so that the temple will no longer cover the sky with one hand. ”

"Good. Indifferent Xue said: "I promise." ”
