Chapter 30: Shocking Changes in the Church
Bright Moon Peak.
The highest peak of Mingyue Mountain in southern Yunnan, with an altitude of nearly 3,000 meters, is steep and towering into the clouds. In autumn, the temperature at the summit is extremely low, and in winter, it is even more cold and snowy.
The peaks, trees, rocks, streams, and lands are covered with a thick layer of snow and ice at this time. Such a harsh environment is inherently uninhabitable.
But at the top of the cliffs, there are many exquisite houses, which rise and fall along the peaks, row after row, and the roofs are covered with snow, and the cornices are scattered and orderly. Flying snow and dense fog gather in the mountains, the birds are difficult to fly, and the apes are extinct. The sky is lonely, and it is difficult to find clouds, like a fairyland on earth.
On the top of the mountain, there is a huge lake. When the mountain is sunken, the snow is piled up in it, and when the spring flowers bloom, the ice and snow melt and turn into a lake. Above the lake, layers of smoke are filled, and when you look through the smoke, the lake is still rippling and not frozen.
At this time, there is a small boat floating on the surface of the lake. At the head of the boat sat a tall man, holding a fishing rod, as if he were boating and fishing.
The man has handsome eyebrows and starry eyes, a fair complexion, and a blazing eye.
Hearing footsteps in the distance, the man put the fishing rod in his hand on the bow of the boat, opened his thin lips lightly, and said softly, "Come here." ”
A yellow figure walked on the surface of the lake, and in a moment it reached the side of the boat, and stood firmly on the boat with light feet.
"High Priest. Before the man in yellow finished speaking, he was interrupted by the man, "Still don't agree, do you?"
The man in yellow nodded in embarrassment, his eyes flashing, not knowing what he was thinking.
"The previous sect leader has been out of office for many days, and the matter of the new sect leader is imminent, but that girl is dead-eyed, and she is unwilling to take on this important task. ”
The corners of the yellow-clothed man's mouth lifted slightly, touched his nose and said, "Is the high priest really just for this?"
Seeing that the man's face suddenly became very ugly, he continued, "The high priest is amazingly talented, and the troubles in the sect have always been done by himself, and the sect leader is on the throne and is safe and secure, but it is not a big responsibility. ”
The man's eyes were cold, and he snorted coldly, "You mean that I am stubborn and self-serving, and I am using power for power?!"
The man in yellow arched his hand and said, "My subordinates don't dare! The high priest is a scholar of heaven and man, and his actions are reasonable." ”
The man who was rafting and fishing was none other than the high priest of the Lunatic Cult, the River Styx.
After hearing what he said, Styx's face suddenly turned terrier, and he said coldly, "Linxi, don't think that I don't know what you think in your heart! If it weren't for the current Qingchen, the two protectors of the Falling Moon left behind in the Lancang River, and the others in the sect were embarrassed by the heavy responsibility, I would have demoted you to a mortal a long time ago!!"
This man in yellow is one of the three protectors of the Moon Worship Sect, Linxi.
The high priest scolded like this, but Linxi was not afraid or annoyed, and smiled slightly, "If the high priest doesn't kill me, he shouldn't be worried that after I die, no one will drive me, right? ”
Styx was furious, threw away the fishing rod in his hand, and shouted, "You came today to tear your face with me?" Do you think that you send the food delivery away every day, and secretly help that girl to find out the secrets of my sect, so that she will not be the leader of the sect no matter what, and I can't help you!?"
Lin Xi had a panicked expression, "High Priest, this matter is very serious, and it can't be groundless." ”
Styx's fingers clenched, his joints turned white, and he exhaled a few deep breaths of cold air to calm down.
It's not that he's generous and tolerant. It's just that he knows that the current situation is not as good as others, so he can only force himself to kill intent.
Half a month ago, Xi Yao, the leader of the Lunatic Sect, who had always been obedient to him, suddenly rebelled, although he immediately and decisively quelled the rebellion, but there was an inextricable connection between the Lunatic Sect Master and the High Priest. The sect leader is dead, the gods in the sect are collapsing, the holy flame will be extinguished, and he has cultivated all over the sky, and he can no longer play thirty percent.
At this moment, the Linxi Protector, who has always behaved gentle and respectful, suddenly changed his temperament, and disobeyed his orders, faintly rebelling and seizing power.
However, under the great reduction of strength, there is no need to kill Linxi. He sent several people to Lancang, wanting to kill Qingchen, and the two protectors of the moon rushed back to the apologetics, but there has been no news, presumably they must have been intercepted by Linxi.
Most of the Lunatic Cultists were forcibly captured from all over southern Yunnan, and in the past, they did not dare to move because of his strong strength. And if he turns his face with Linxi at this time, although he may be able to kill this bureaucracy, he is afraid that it will make it worse. When the whole sect moves in unison, the sacred flame that has been burning for hundreds of years will be extinguished here.
He was patient and connived at the rampant Linxi, in order to buy time and support the new sect leader to ascend to the throne, so as to use the power of the sect leader to open the holy water to restore his strength.
But the saint Ye Xinxin in the sect that he brought back from the foot of Mingyue Mountain that day, but he was always unwilling to agree to be the sect leader. The holy water in the sect can only be opened by a sincere and willing woman, which is why the strength of the high priest has always been far above the sect leader, and he still has to support a puppet.
Under his persuasion, Ye Xinxin just refused to agree, and in desperation, he locked Ye Xinxin in a deep well that did not see the light of day, hoping to make her afraid and agree to her request. But half a month has passed, and Ye Xinxin still refuses to give in. Seeing that the situation in the church is dangerous, he can only cry out in vain.
Linxi saw that he was full of energy, and his eyes were murderous. While pretending to be on guard, he pretended to be relaxed, "High priest, don't be angry, I want a weak woman, how many more days can I support in such an environment? In a few days, I will definitely agree." ”
Styx sneered and said, "So in order for her not to agree, you deliberately wanted her to know the fate of the previous sect masters, so that she would swear to the death, right?"
Linxi smiled and said, "The high priest thinks too much, and his subordinates don't have such thoughts. ”
Styx also seemed to have a look of exhaustion in his eyes, and he didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he waved his hand and said, "You can go." ”
Linxi is also not polite, a few vertical jumps, and it is hidden in the thick fog.
"Ten days, only ten days until the full moon!" As soon as Lin Xi left, Styx's handsome face turned pale as snow in an instant. His right hand pressed tightly against his chest, and blood flowed from his fingers.
More than ten years ago, he fought with Pei Liansong of the Cangyue Divine Sword in the Central Plains for three days on Diancang Mountain, and was injured in the chest by Pei Liansong with the Cangyue Sword.
The sword is originally cold, coupled with Pei Liansong's internal strength, and it is based on the cold. Every full moon night, when the yin qi in the world is at its heaviest, the wound will burst again. The leader must open the holy water and soak it in it to heal and save the wounds.
This secret was originally unknown to anyone. But one day he was mistakenly discovered by Linxi, and he was overconfident at that time and didn't think much about it. But such a curse is planted today!
Although the Lunatic Cult was originally a cult and the candidate for the leader, it needed to be pure in mind and free from evil thoughts, so as to guide the power of the bright moon and open the gate of Sumeru.
People in the world are often intrigued and lustful. People who can be the leaders of the sect are still hard to find. In order to prevent Linxi from suddenly killing Ye Xinxin, he gave Ye Xinxin the only three Dragon Soul Pills in the world.
The Dragon Soul Pill is a sacred object, which was obtained by chance by the people who founded the Lunatic Sect, and has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the original intention was to give future generations the purpose of self-protection at a moment of crisis. The Lunatic Cult has twice been in danger of extinction, and the Dragon Soul Pill has flowed to this day, and there is only the last one left. And once a person takes it, unless he grows old naturally and his life is exhausted, no matter how high the martial arts of others are, no matter how strong the magic is, they will not be able to kill them. It is one of the three major sacred objects in the world along with Menglan Flower and Huisheng Grass.
He could have taken the Dragon Soul Pill by himself, although he couldn't recover his strength, but even if Linxi succeeded in rebelling in the end and took away the position of the high priest, his life would be worry-free. But he was arrogant and refused to have the slightest idea of stealing his life, so he made a desperate gamble and pressed his life on Ye Xinxin.
I thought that this Nizi would not be able to survive after all, but at noon today, I suddenly sensed that the door of the ice room was opened, and after thinking about it, it must be Linxi who was making a hindrance.
"It seems that only by telling her all the reasons is clear, and in the end, if it still doesn't work, and she will die desperately, she will also kill Linxi together!
