Chapter 385: Punishment

"But what if the team leader isn't here?"

Tang Tianyu was not as optimistic as Yang Fan, and his frowning brows were full of melancholy: "With my understanding of the instructor, if he had paid attention to us, he should have appeared when Senior Brother missed, but he hadn't appeared at this time, which means that he was not here." ”

"Maybe the team leader is just cultivating and just missed it?"

Pei Mu still speculated with luck.

"Everyone's cultivation habits are different, and along the way, haven't you noticed that the team leaders all choose to practice in the evening?"

Tang Nianfan's answer dispelled Pei Mu's unrealistic illusions: "If you extrapolate like this, the team leader may have other tasks and is really not here......"

For a moment, the dungeon was a little awkward and silent.

Who would have thought that the four traveling disciples who had high hopes from the Wushuang Academy would be captured in the remote mountain villages of Zhongzhou, Tang Nianfan and Tang Tianyuzhi felt so ashamed that they couldn't raise their heads, and they wanted to die directly by hitting their heads.

But Pei Mu, who finally came to work, didn't want to die like this, and hurriedly asked Yang Fan for help: "Senior brother, stop practicing, find a way to contact the team leader!"

"I don't have a way to get in touch. ”

Yang Fan shrugged.

Pei Mu was a little desperate: "Then aren't we dead?"

"If the other party wants to kill someone, why should they take us into custody?"

Tang Tianyu said in a deep voice: "There may be a turning point in this matter. ”

"I look at the hanging. ”

Tang Nianfan shook his head: "Pretending to be a ghost is the favorite way to publicize it, and taking us into custody may be because of the idea of judging in public, killing chickens and monkeys, and letting those villagers see the fate of fighting against the sacred." ”

When the three of them were communicating desperately, Yang Fan was still focused, the grass stalks in his hands were waving non-stop, whirring, and there were smiles on his face from time to time, which was in stark contrast to the three people with sad faces.

When the sky was bright, Lao Miaozhu came to the dungeon again.

After making sure that all four people had woken up, Baili Qiu Xin began to pronounce the convictions of several people.

Tang Tianyu still partially guessed correctly, Baili Qiu Xin had no intention of killing them for the time being, and even provided them with a little food and medicine.

But he also guessed wrong, because he didn't expect that the plan he made would have such a big name in Middle-earth.

Storming the village temple, assassinating the only temple in Qianxi Village, and obstructing the sermon of the divine on the edge of the world, especially in such a special period, if he dies and the altar is unpresiding, Qianxi Village will be equivalent to completely losing contact with the god, which is a greater crime than murder and arson in Zhongzhou.

In contrast, murder, arson, rape, and plunder are misdemeanors.

This sounds ridiculous to a few people.

Because their plan did not succeed at all, the so-called assassination is at best an attempt, who would have thought that there would be such a layer?

"Whoever commits even one of these crimes is a capital offense from which it is difficult to escape. ”

After the sins were read, Lao Miaozhu closed the thick code of law and said in a deep voice to several people: "But now that the situation is special, I am willing to give you a chance to atone for your sins." If you are willing to make a vow to protect the temple for 20 years, I can honor this crime and not pursue it for the time being!"

"Heh, it turns out that the sacred can also be bargained?"

Tang Nianfan said disdainfully.

"There is room for manoeuvre, only because you have not yet made a big mistake, and this is your only chance to atone for your sins. Otherwise, I will gather the villagers and bring your sins to the heavens, and God will judge them. When the time comes, whether the thunder falls or the divine fire burns him, it will all be up to the old man. ”

Baili Qiu Xin was not angry because of Tang Nianfan's disrespectful tone, but calmly told what kind of situation they would face if they did not accept the path of vowing to forgive their sins.

"You are still very young, and there is still a long way to go in the future, and it is good to repent of your mistakes for a while, but if you are obsessed, no one will be able to save you, so the old man will give you some time to think about it, and persuade you to do it yourself. ”

The old temple was in a hurry, not because of a weak heart, but because the villagers had entered the temple again, and he had to preside over the prayers and dances.

As the stone cellar door closed, the dungeon fell into darkness again, and several people looked at each other and began to think about countermeasures.

Obviously, Miao Zhu's brain is wooden, and he admits that they have offended the gods, so he has to ask them to protect Miao and forgive their sins.

If they are really some kind of passers-by, this fate is actually not bad, it is better than death, but they are not rootless weeds, but disciples of the inner courtyard of Wushuang Academy.

If they succumb to the temple blessing, their lives will be saved, but what will happen to the face of the master?

In the dark, Tang Tianyu and Tang Nianfan glanced at each other from afar, as if they had a plan in their hearts.

After a few more hours, the door of the dungeon cellar was opened again, and the old temple Zhu appeared again, still holding an old acquaintance with a blue nose and swollen face who was tied up with five flowers.

The four of them looked fixedly, even if they were restrained, their eyes were still fierce, not impermanence.

"You guys..."

Lao Miaozhu's eyes swept to the four of them, and there was regret in his tone, and there was also a grudge that hated others: "I thought that your target was only me, but I didn't expect that you would be mad and involve the villagers of Qianxi Village!"

Now that the people are resentful, I can't keep you anymore. I have not heard of what I have just said to you about the forgiveness of your sins in the temple, but tonight, several of you will be tried together at the altar, and God will decide your sins. ”

Yang Fan's face did not change, while Tang Tianyu and Tang Nianfan were shocked, and their hands were on the pole, unable to believe it.

They are sons of the family, they are Tang people, they still have the mission of reviving the family, and there are many unshirkable responsibilities, how can they die here.

This is a test of the master, they just failed, why not?

Tang Tianyu, who lost his mind, was angry: "You want to kill us? How dare you kill us? Do you know who we are?

"Whoever you are. ”

Lao Miaozhu obviously didn't mean to continue listening, and said coldly: "If you violate the sacred precepts, you will be judged by God." ”

With that, he threw the impermanence of the flowers into the empty prison and walked out of the cellar.

Tang Tianyu and Tang Nianfan's hands slipped off the railing and sat on the ground, their faces full of distraction.

Pei Mu was full of complexity, hateful eyes, gritted his teeth and apologized, while the bear hunter heard it from the beginning to the end, but he didn't say a word.

"It's a pity... There are still a lot of sword intent that I haven't tried. ”

Yang Fan, who was grasping the grass stalk with two fingers, muttered, and then began to make a gesture again.

The judgment is to be held after the evening prayers, because the light is reserved for the believers, and only the cold midnight is suitable for judging the criminals.

Qianxi Village, which has not had a villain for decades, will try a full five people tonight, which is a big excitement that should not be missed for all villagers.
