The courtyard fell silent suddenly.

It's just that because of Lin Xi's bland rhetorical question, everyone's emotions changed in an instant.

Yuan Tianyu and other soldiers, whose faces were still extremely gloomy for a moment, instantly flashed some self-deprecating smiles on the corners of their mouths, and they couldn't help but shake their heads slightly, thinking in their hearts that their worries and anger were simply superfluous, and this matter was really not a thing at all.

The round-faced official was still shocked before he counted his breaths, he was really worried that Gu Yunjing could make the military cooperate with Lin Xi to assassinate him again, with Lin Xi's ability, he had to worry that Lin Xi really assassinated Qiu Mochi in the middle of the army, but at this moment, he found that Lin Xi didn't have to spend any effort to do this kind of thing, because he really ignored Lin Xi's other identity.

"You are questioning the character of a priest, am I, as a priest, telling lies?"

Lin Xi's gaze swept over the faces of the round-faced officials whose faces had become extremely exciting, and said something flat.

There was silence.

The two officials of the official department tried their best to maintain their composure, their eyes focused on Qiu Mochi, in their opinion, since Lin Xi said so, since Lin Xi testified, then this matter has been decided, and it can be ended here.

Because since Qingluan Academy was deliberately suppressed by the emperor with Thunder Academy until now, it has always been low-key and even gives people the feeling that it has been declining, so Lin Xiqingluan Academy's chosen identity seems to have made many people forget their awe.

Because Lin Xi faded out of Yunqin for a long time after Biluo Mausoleum, many people forgot that his official rank had not been removed, but was deliberately not mentioned by the emperor.

And after he reappeared in Nanling Province, because his military exploits were too prominent, but it made people think of powerful archers and cultivators for the first time, but it was easy for people to ignore the fact that he was a spirit priest.

The priest of the Spiritual Sacrifice is itself a symbol of light.

How can ordinary officials be qualified to doubt the character of the priesthood?

However, Qiu Mochi shook his head and said flatly: "How could I forget your identity, it's just that the spirit priest has fallen, and it's not without examples, according to the custom, although you are an ascetic priest who does not serve in the court, but you must also undergo an inspection by the priest's court once a year, and you should not have been in contact with the priest's court for more than a year, and you have not been studied and verified." ”

As soon as Qiu Mochi said this, the faces of the officials present changed again.

"You know very well the methods of officialdom, you know how to climb up, what kind of rules should be able to be used, and you can go to the priesthood to verify my status as a spiritual priest, then it can at least drag on for a long time. Even if you finally decide that the merits and processes they reported are true, you are also doing business, but this process is enough to disgust us. Lin Xi saw that the other party was still arguing strongly in this situation, but he was not angry, but said calmly: "It's just that maybe our Qingluan Academy and I are really too low-key, so even a little foot like you has the courage to pull me to take a look, but you are really not qualified... And you don't have to pretend to be so bland, the more you look like this, the more hypocritical you look when I have been so rude and harsh with you. ”

The flatness on Qiu Mochi's face disappeared, revealing an angry sneer, "I don't know what qualifications are, I only know that I have the right to thoroughly investigate this matter." ”

"Really, do you really think you're a character?"

Lin Xi smiled, he found some of the happy feelings he had when dealing with those officials in Donggang Town, "I'll tell you the difference between me and you. I can go out now, go to the city, and tell the people in the city that I am Lin Xi, and then I will tell them how many more than 100 soldiers who are extremely loyal to the empire have gone through after all the fighting and hardship, breaking through all the way, and finally successfully attacking the camp and returning to Yunqin, and then I will also tell them that after these soldiers return to Yunqin, they will be guarded by the prison army and you as spies. I don't have to prove whether or not my status as a spiritual sacrifice has been corrupted, but I'm afraid you'll be stoned to death with eggs and bricks by angry soldiers and civilians. ”

"If you insist on doing something so incendiary, then you can do it. Qiu Mochi took a deep breath and said in a cold voice: "But you don't want to use this to make me submit, even if I die, the next officials of the Supervision Department will also deal with this matter in the same way!"

Lin Xi frowned.

In his opinion, using the identity of the spirit priest to suppress this kind of person is the easiest and most effective way, but he didn't expect that Qiu Mochi would want to go all the way to the dark under such circumstances.

A slut is like a dog, but this is a somewhat difficult dog.

There was silence.

It was precisely because of the silence that everyone present, including Lin Xi, who was frowning slightly, heard a faint chaotic sound of footsteps coming from the wind.

The sound of footsteps was like many people hurrying to catch up with someone, and it was like many people hurrying to chase someone.

Soon, the footsteps quickly disappeared and calm returned.

Then only one person's footsteps got closer and closer, with a surprisingly unique aura.

Lin Xi turned around.

He felt that this aura was not a shock of soul power, but a unique fluctuation of vitality, as if an external force was always surrounding a cultivator's body, waiting for that cultivator to absorb and use it at any time.

Could it be that Zhou Shoufu is coming?

The thought that first crossed his mind.

However, the dazzling golden yellow that appeared in his eyes immediately overturned his speculation.

All the officials at the scene, even Gao Yanan, who was standing beside Lin Xi, saw this figure exuding golden brilliance, and their eyes were instantly filled with strong shock.

It was an old man dressed in a golden priest's robe.

And his hair is blonde.

In Yunqin, the golden priest's robe represents the high priest for life, who is the highest status of the priesthood.

And the golden hair represents the Yuhua family.

This is an old man with a wrinkled face, thin and short, but he is in Yunqin, and his identity is even more noble than that of the head of the Eight Divisions, so he is walking along the bluestone road at the moment, but in the eyes of everyone, he looks extremely tall.

"I am Yuhua Shanhe. ”

The old man looked at Lin Xi, Gao Yanan and the others and smiled, and made a sound first.

Yuhua Shanhe is the younger brother of the old man who sat behind the heavy curtains of the Yuhua family, but no one was surprised, because there are two lifelong high priests of the Yuhua family in the priesthood, both of whom are of the same generation as Yuhua Shanhe. As long as he wears the golden robe of the lifelong high priest, he is the most noble existence of the Yuhua family.

Ever since this high priest who was enough to represent the entire Yuhua family appeared, Lin Xi had been seriously thinking about the meaning of the other party's coming, while the rest of the people were too shocked, and everyone forgot to salute for a while.

"Guess what color I am holding in my hand?" Like a real magic stick, the old man walked up to Lin Xi and didn't say anything superfluous, but stretched out his right hand that was clenched into a fist towards Lin Xi.

His right hand was like a dry twig, but it emitted a golden glow, and it felt like there was a layer of golden metal in his hand, let alone trying to see what was in his palm.

Lin Xi bowed and saluted, "Why do you want to guess?"

"This will give you some proof. The old man laughed wisely, "And this is not a question of guessing or not for our priests' temple, but a question of whether it is worth it or not." ”

Lin Xi straightened up, looked at the old priest Yuhua Shanhe, and laughed, "You are here on behalf of the Yuhua family and the priest hall?"

The old man looked at Lin Xi helplessly, "Since you don't like nonsense, why do you have to pretend to be confused since you understand?"

Lin Xi laughed even more happily and nodded: "I guess it's red." ”

The old man's eyes brightened, and his body began to radiate a strange golden glow, as if a sun was rising.

"You guessed it. With shock and satisfaction, he looked at Lin Xi deeply and said.

Lin Xi smiled slightly, and said in his heart, some things have happened, but after coming back, you don't know.

Qiu Mochi didn't know what was going to happen next, but the expressions of the old man and Lin Xi made his body tremble constantly, and his originally cold face also became snow-white, without a trace of blood.

In the midst of everyone's shocked and puzzled gazes, the old man let go of his hand.

A mass of something quickly bloomed in his hand like a flower.

The flower is bright red.

It is a large red priest's robe.

I don't know what material it was made of, and in the old man's hands, it was forced into a small ball, but after the old man let go, it quickly stretched and turned into a bright red priest's robe with a ceramic luster.

On the big red priest's robe, there is also a pattern of a three-tailed black fox cat and a Yunqin phoenix embroidered with strange red silk threads.

Qiu Mochi's breathing came to a complete halt.

Because he knew very well that in Yun Qin, this kind of red priest's robe only represented one meaning, that is, the high priest of the priest's hall!

The red-robed high priest who is protected and respected by all the priests, and has the power to remove and elevate the priesthood!

"This is for me?" Lin Xi asked, looking at the priest's robe.

Yuhua Shanhe laughed heartily, and his face wrinkled with laughter: "Still asking knowingly... As a spirit priest, when you were fighting against the enemy in the Falling Star Tomb, you only passed on the white robe of an ordinary priest apprentice, which is not in accordance with the rules... But considering that you often go deep into the battlefield and bring back glory, the priest's robe is indeed easy to be damaged and lost, so the priest's temple has made this priest's robe for you, this priest's robe is not easy to destroy, you should not wear the wrong one in the future. ”

Yuan Tianyu and the others were also so shocked that it was difficult to breathe.

That is to say... The Priest's Hall has passed a resolution to let Lin Xi enter the Priest's Hall and become the red-robed High Priest?!

Lin Xi took a deep breath, obviously feeling a little surprised: "I'm already a red-robed high priest now?"

"It's an apprenticeship... This is the word set by Dean Zhang. Yuhua Shanhe looked at Lin Xi and said, "You can exercise all the powers of the red-robed high priest, but if there is anything that pollutes the light in the three years, you will immediately lose the qualification of the red-robed high priest." ”

"That's not the same. Lin Xi smiled and took the priest's robe handed to him by Yuhua Shanhe, but his smile was stiff, and his mouth turned into a shocked shape. Because the soft-looking red priest's robe in his hand weighed at least twenty catties.

Yuhua Shanhe seemed to have known that Lin Xi would react like this, and smiled again, just looking at Lin Xi and thinking of some things many years ago, there was some inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

Lin Xi pursed his lips a little embarrassed, then became serious, glanced at the pale Qiu Mochi, and said, "Lord Qiu, you shouldn't question my identity anymore, right?"

Yuhua Shanhe glanced at Qiu Mochi and said calmly: "This is none of his business anymore, the priest's hall doubts his character, and the priest will suspend him for review." ”

Qiu Mochi's mouth opened suddenly, but he couldn't make any sound, and his official uniform was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

However, seeing that he was depressed, in strong contrast with his previous calm and indifference, Lin Xi shook his head, "It's too light, right?"

"Too light?" Yuhua Shanhe frowned slightly, and said in a discussing: "It's not a person..."

Lin Xi smiled and said, "Since it's a counterattack... There should always be a counterattack, and there should always be a sense of awe. ”

Yuhua Shanhe groaned slightly, and said: "Okay, since character needs to be investigated, the front line is naturally the best place, let him prove himself." ”

Qiu Mochi still couldn't make a sound.

His henchman, the round-faced officer of the Military Supervision Department, was trembling all over, and he was in a very strong dizziness... Originally, I wanted the other party to prove it, but now it is completely reversed.
