Two days later, the road mountain

The long-awaited equal trial has finally arrived!

There is a mountain peak, hollowed out from top to bottom, that forms a unique viewing platform inside, and the site of the Equal Judgment is located here.

Sunlight pierces through the hollow at the top of the peak, casting a large circle of light on the ground inside the peak.

The exterior around the light circle is irregular, with fourteen stone stools of different shapes.

There are fourteen identical people sitting on these stone benches!

To be exact! It is the person who wears it exactly!

These people wore uniform wooden masks and wide black hooded tunics, which not only concealed their faces, but also perfectly concealed their figures, and even wore uniform gloves on their hands to confirm the secrecy of their personal information.

Such a tight wrap caused none of these people's skin to be exposed to the sun.

If they just sit quietly on the stone bench, others will not be able to judge their identity by visual inspection.

Of the fourteen, though, two are slightly different.

They wore a jade medallion around their necks, and they didn't know what it did.

Suddenly! I don't know where the sound of a jade chime came from.

Bite!

Fourteen people immediately sat down, and there was no more superfluous movement.

At this time!

A man in a black robe slowly walked into the field.

If you look closely, the man is only about thirty years old. He has waist-length hair, clear eyebrows, brownish-yellow skin, and shallow lips under the high bridge of his nose. If it weren't for the raised Adam's apple, I guess I would have mistaken this for a stunning beauty.

He walked to the center of the circle of light, bowed respectfully to the four directions, and everyone sitting on the stone bench nodded in return.

After this simple greeting, the black-robed man began to speak:

"Hello everyone, considering that there may be adjudicators here who are participating in the equality trial for the first time, let me introduce you first! My name is Ning Hua, and I am the leader elected by everyone in the Equality Sect! ”

After saying this, everyone sitting on the stone bench slapped the side of the stone bench with their hands, making a "bang bang" sound.

The black-robed man Ning Hua nodded with a smile and continued:

This slapping the stool means yes! It seems that everyone has a certain understanding of the process of equal trial in advance, but for the sake of fairness and equality, I still want to restate the rules of equal trial here, please listen carefully!

Everyone sat up straight as a sign of respect.

"Equal trial is our unique adjudication method of equality teaching! Conduct individual screening for matters that need to be punished! Equal approval is divided into three levels: elementary, intermediate and high, and the senior level is naturally presided over by me!

I'll bring out the protagonist of the sin later, and then summon the Sacred Tree Image! Under the light of the Sacred Tree, if the protagonist of the sin speaks the truth, then he will be surrounded by golden light and will be at peace. If you lie, the Holy Tree Law will send down heavenly punishment!

Under the guarantee of the Sacred Tree, the protagonist of the sinful argument will go through three steps: judging right and wrong, asking and answering, and self-elaboration. It is believed that after these three stages, even the most complex issues can be fully and truly presented in front of the adjudicators.

Then the last step is to adjudicate, and the adjudicators will make a judgment based on the words of the protagonist of the crime, and if they are not guilty, the equal trial will end immediately! If there is a crime, the adjudicators also need to determine the manner of punishment.

Finally, I would like to remind you that if you have not been authorized in advance, then you will not be able to speak during all the sessions, and if you do, the Sect Master will immediately disqualify you as a judge! Do you all know that? ”

Bang bang bang!

The crowd slapped the stone stools.

Ning Hua's hands pressed down slightly, and the sound of slapping gradually stopped, and then Ning Hua continued:

"What we need to screen this time is an assassination more than 20 days ago, and the initiator of this plan is Venerable Xu Hanguang! Then Xu Hanguang, stand by my side! ”

With that, Ning Hua looked at one of the stone stools, and the person sitting on it slowly walked to the center of the light circle and stood side by side with Ning Hua.

This one took off the wooden mask, revealing a metal mask. As we all know, in the Equality Sect, only Xu Hanguang wears this mask.

However, at the moment when Xu Hanguang took off the mask!

Ning Hua's eyes seemed to flash with a hint of imperceptible brilliance, and then, Ning Hua continued:

"The assassination location was in Wangtian City, and the target of the assassination was Xu Yan, the Holy Monarch of the Holy Crown Temple, and the assassination attempt ultimately failed. After the rest of their team returned to Walk Hill, I received an application for an equal trial.

Some people in the team questioned that Xu Hanguang deliberately leaked the assassination plan, which led to the failure of the mission, so there was today's equal trial. I believe you already know the ins and outs of this incident in advance, so let's start the first link immediately, judging right and wrong! ”

After saying this, Ning Hua slowly walked to the vacated stone bench. turned around and sat down, and then made a trick to Xu Hanguang!

Moment!

The sunlight above Xu Hanguang's head became stronger!

In the scorching sun, golden points of light appeared!

Countless points of light converged above Xu Hanguang's head!

Slowly formed the appearance of a large tree!

The golden points of light around the big tree instantly enveloped Xu Hanguang!

Everyone felt that their breathing became smoother in an instant, and there seemed to be endless warmth floating around them.

Under this kind of warmth, anyone will become honest and kind.

Ning Hua clapped his hands lightly, and a man wearing a wooden mask stood up.

The one wore a green jade plaque around his neck, and then the one began to speak:

"I was empowered to be in charge of the first part, the question of right and wrong! I will not fail this sacred right, and the Sect Master and you can testify for me! ”

The jade plate even has the effect of camouflaging the voice, and the person's voice is processed by the jade plate, and the timbre and pitch have changed and changed, making it impossible to distinguish between men and women at all.

Bang bang bang!

The crowd slapped the stone stools.

...

At this moment, Xu Yan is standing in the center of the circle of light, and there is the law of the holy tree above his head!

In the ocean surrounded by golden points of light here, Xu Yan didn't have any abnormal feelings, and even felt full of power.

Everything that has been experienced in the current equal trial just makes Xu Yan feel fresh, and he is looking forward to the next link.

Perhaps in order to live up to Xu Yan's expectations, the member of the adjudication team wearing a green jade plate immediately began to ask:

"First question! Did you make a plan to assassinate Xu Yan for the sake of the development of the Equal Sect? ”

Faced with this kind of problem, Xu Yan did not hesitate at all and responded:

"Yes!"

After Xu Yan finished answering quickly, the golden light point of the Holy Tree's Law Aspect did not have the slightest abnormality.

Immediately, Xu Yan heard the very sporadic sound of slapping stone stools.

In fact, Xu Yan has long thought carefully about the internal logic of this equal trial.

The function of the Sacred Tree is to determine whether or not to lie. The definition of lying is that a specific person, when known to be true, deliberately distorts or falsifies facts, so as to achieve the purpose of deceiving others.

The first premise of this is that a specific person!

If it is the real Xu Hanguang standing here, then this equal trial is completely worthwhile!

But standing here now is Xu Yan! It's also a fake Xu Hanguang!

No matter what Xu Yan's answer is, the Holy Tree Law Ministers will not judge him for lying!

If the subject of the trial is wrong, all the questions will become meaningless!

The members of the adjudication team with the jade plaque heard Xu Yan's answer, and then continued to ask:

"Second question! Did you hide it when you told everyone about the assassination plan? ”

Xu Yan already had the answer to this question when he carried out a logical review after the assassination.

In the Holy Crown Temple of Wangtian City, Nanyan knew who the traitor of the temple was, but Thrush didn't! This is very different from the style of the Equality Sect that Xu Yan has been in contact with in the past few days, these people who go out to carry out the plan have to vote even to save a child. How can there be an information gap for such an important plan! Then the problem can only lie with Xu Hanguang.

Thinking of this, Xu Yan replied decisively:

"Yes!"

After this answer, the sporadic sound of slapping stone stools that had been there disappeared in an instant!

In fact, the moment Xu Yan heard this question, he wanted to answer no! Because no matter how you answer, you will not be judged as lying! But Xu Yan thinks that Nanyan is likely to sit in this group of judges.

If the answer is no, it is to directly declare that it has become the opposite of Nanyan, and it is the kind that will never die, which is a bit more than worth the loss.

"One last question! Did you intentionally or unintentionally leak the plan to others who were not involved in the mission, etc., before and after the assassination? ”

"Nope!" Xu Yan replied.

After the third question was asked, the member of the adjudication group with the jade plaque gestured to Sect Leader Ning Hua and sat back on the stone stool.

I only heard Ning Hua's voice ringing in the audience:

"The Holy Tree Law ruled that Xu Hanguang did not lie on these three issues! Please decide for your own discretion, and then we will immediately move on to the second part - asking for answers! ”

After saying this, another person with a jade plaque immediately stood up, Xu Yan knew that the highlight of this equal trial was coming!

This one looked at Xu Yan and said slowly:

"I need you to answer three big questions! In the process of your answer, if I feel that your answer is not perfect, I will ask you to supplement in terms of details, and the supplementary questions will not be counted in the big questions, do you know? ”

Xu Yan nodded in response.

This person's voice is also male and female! But Xu Yan had already guessed through the habit of breaking sentences and tone that the person in front of him was Nanyan!

And Nanyan's first question immediately made Xu Yan stunned!

"The first big problem is! Please introduce yourself in front of the Holy Tree! ”

This question was something Xu Yan never expected...

In the past, because the subject of the question was wrong, there would be no process of judging a lie in the Holy Tree Law Phase.

The question now is, ask the subject directly, does that mean that Xu Yan has to tell the truth!

Otherwise...

The sacred tree will send down heavenly punishment!

Xu Yan...
