Chapter Ninety-Eight: Verdict!
Today, the outbreak of the Xujing Temple has been confirmed by the Zen Master Huaihai of the Great Virtue Tantric Sect, and the evidence that Jiang Yin of the Qili Sect is the initiator of the demon disaster behind it is conclusive, and in front of the high-level executives of Daliang who are qualified enough to access this news, all parties are caught in the judgment and speculation of the next direction of the situation.
Jiang Yin is the head of the Seven Mile Sect Sect Sect Di Duanyun's personal lineage, with a great future, and the future of the Seven Mile Sect, the important thing in this matter is not how to deal with it, but how to face Di Duanyun's will.
The Qili Sect is ranked among the top ten sects in Nancangzhou, and the sect leader Di Duanyun is also one of the thirteen leaders of the Taihao League.
The leader of the alliance is the supreme existence of the Taihao League, and each leader of the alliance is a great alchemist on the top of the mountain, and their strength is outstanding, they are the masters of the ten major sects, and the three masters whose prestige traverses Tantra, Shijia, and Nanhua.
The leaders of the thirteen alliances also formed a meeting of the leaders of the alliance to jointly resolve major issues of the Tahoe Alliance.
Such Di Duanyun is the leader of the monks of Nancangzhou, even if he is in charge of the Great Liang Dynasty, one of the seven great countries of Nancangzhou, and the Liang Emperor who stands at the top of the monarchy, he is not far behind.
The royal power in the world governs the common people, according to the tacit practice of humanity, it is half a level higher than the cultivation sect, and in theory, the royal power still governs the sect under its jurisdiction, but in fact, the suzerain of the ten major sects and the human monarch at the peak of the monarchy are probably on an equal footing.
The silence after every conversation between the deep palaces will seem long, and every step of the human monarch on the throne here has to consider the countless consequences behind it, several top officials of the court are waiting outside the palace, and Emperor Liang did not even leave the palace to enter the study to deal with this matter, but accepted all the news in the palace, which can be seen the severity of the situation.
The Taishi, Guogong, and Zhu Guoda generals took turns to flow into the dormitory to meet them.
After a while, Zhang Guogong came out with a document in his hand, and announced His Majesty's dictation, "The incident is confusing, there are many suspicious points, and further investigation is still to be carried out, the prisoner Jiang Yin is handed over to Qilizong, and Qilizong will investigate the cause of the incident, and verify the collusion with the same party, and Juxian Hall and Liang Dusi will do their duty to assist in the investigation!"
Emperor Liang's edict reached the Xujing Temple, Jia Yun showed a look of surprise, and said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty asked you to preside over the investigation, does it mean that he can't trust the second prince's side, this is an excellent opportunity for you!"
Princess Zhengyang is also digesting the message conveyed by this edict, and it seems that her father, and even Da Liang, have saved enough face for Qili Sect. Let the Qili Sect take people back to investigate, but it will not be that the Qili Sect will refer to the deer as a horse, but some related things involving the reputation of the Qili Sect can be diluted, and the impact can even be eliminated to the minimum, and as for the Juxian Hall and the Wang Du Si Ya Investigation, it is just a coordination in the procedure.
When the time comes, in the face of the results issued by the Qili Sect, is it possible that she will not recognize it in the Juxian Palace? This is not because the father and the emperor trust her more than the second prince. But on this incident, her father asked her to bear the infamy behind her back and the attack on the court! Let her do something to shut up some people, so as to prevent this matter from being used by others and causing a rift between Qilizong and Daliang.
On the side of the Qili Sect, led by Elder Sun Zhao, they all breathed a sigh of relief, why didn't they worry about tearing their faces with the Great Liang, and now the edict from the Liang Emperor proved that the Liang Emperor still fully considered the face and status of their Qili Sect, Jiang Yin brought it back, how they closed the door to investigate and punish, it was all their business, the elders looked at each other, nodded slightly, exchanged opinions with each other, and expressed the appropriateness of this arrangement.
"It seems that Your Majesty's meaning is that since the biggest instigator behind the scenes has been discovered, then this is the end. Zhu Yongchun, who led the six hundred mountain-patterned armor soldiers, as the first flag commander of the Fulong Battalion, stretched his brows, this result could not be better for them, as the Fulong Battalion sandwiched between Daliang and the Taihao League, I hope that there will be no direct conflict between the two sides.
As soon as the Privy Council officials waited, one of the members of the academy spoke, "Even if Jiang Yin has the gold medal of avoiding death as Di Duanyun's personal disciple, he basically has a good cultivation prospect and the status of the young and outstanding head of the sect, I am afraid that he will change people!"
Among the white-clothed people in Bailu Academy, a scholar sighed, "Jiang Yin is such a genius in the sky, the future cultivation star of the Qili Sect has gone astray, and the future will inevitably be sealed and bleak, which is sad and lamentable!"
A woman in white clothes glanced at her and said, "It's not wronged!" Since the Qili Sect came to investigate this matter, even if Jiang Yin can save his life, he will only be severely punished by the sect, and he may even be locked up in a forbidden place forever, and there will be no future for him. But in order to eliminate this matter and calm the impact of those who died and the anger of all parties, anyone who has something to do with Jiang Yin will be affected, and it is conceivable that those ordinary people who have no background will end up in a miserable end at every turn......
The academy official next to him said in a low voice, "Be careful!"
So the white-clothed men immediately fell silent.
......
Just when the parties surrounding the Void Shrine were considering the development and impact of the matter.
Zhu Qingshan broke free from Xiuyuan's support, this Shushan disciple walked up to the square at this time, and under the gaze of many eyes, he went to the woman who was lying on the ground at this time, which had been ignored by everyone.
Jiang Yin's half-cut bone claw had been connected to her body, and when Jiang Yin grabbed her, he was unfolding the method, which seemed to be using the bone claw to absorb and assimilate this "half-demon body" as a demon pill, and the poison of the demon law had been deeply animated.
Zhu Qingyi half-knelt down in front of her, reached out and gently swiped over her tear-stained and painful face, as if he wanted to soothe her pain in this insignificant way.
I still remember the heavy rain, he sheltered from the rain on the eaves, and the vivid and lively elf-like eyes that appeared next to him mistook him for the poor white clothes of the academy in Daliang, and patted his heart and said, "If you don't have any entanglements, then come and wash the dishes for me in the future!"
Slightly arrogant, with her small waist crossed by her hands, but at that moment, he did not refuse.
So in the future, by going out, he would come to the Sifang Building, which was a natural intelligence location, allowing him to complete the task of collecting a lot of information, and more importantly, he could often appear in front of her, watch her dance, and see her appear so brightly in his dreary world.
Occasionally, when the rain was not very good, he would watch the hazy market in the rain and fog with her under the eaves.
One is just a walker in the world who can only disguise the academy and is down-and-out in white, and the other is a well-known and beautiful female shopkeeper.
Two people who seem to be at the end of the world care for each other because of similar circumstances.
He didn't like to talk much, so she teased him, telling him about her past, her childhood, her favorite osmanthus, the aroma of the small wine shop outside the door, and the grasshopper caught by squatting under the corner of the wall and turning over the bluestone.
It was a life he hadn't experienced.
It was a mundane that he would never have looked at.
But after that, he actually hoped that when she was a little girl, she was chased by a puppy, she knocked over other people's stalls, and he could be next to her when she fell off the wall and dropped a bag on her head.
He was a cultivator, she was still a little girl at that time, and he was already such a young man.
Ordinary years are like a shuttle, the time is fleeting, the eternal glacier flows, he is still the same as he was back then, and a handful of water is still a sweet taste, but the prosperity of the world has changed several times, and he has only read a few cabinets of books. Time flies, in a few decades, he will still be the way he is now, and there will not be much change, and she will eventually understand that in the end, she is a passerby after all, and she will always leave first, and he will still stay in the same place as the long river of years.
Wang Shiyun's demon attack was poisonous, and he was already dying. Zhu Qingshan was covered in blood, covered in injuries and squatted in front of her, hugging her neck, witnessing her last journey, he thought, okay, just say goodbye here.
He used to be a white coat in the academy in her eyes, and he said that if he couldn't get fame and fame in his life, and didn't enter the officialdom, what would he do? She said it would be better, what kind of fame and fortune, she didn't care, and the glory and wealth were also like a bubble, and in the end, she would find that happiness that was close at hand was worth pursuing. He doesn't have to be obsessed with taking the test to become a big official, even if he is just a showman, if he saves enough money in the future, he can also open a small wine shop, he is in the back hall, and he needs someone to solicit business, he can also ask her if she is willing to dance for him?
Tavern, he is in charge of housekeeping, she solicits guests, he reads and strokes the piano in his spare time, she adds fragrance to her red sleeves, the two of them will always make their lives better and better, and they will always earn a warm happiness of ordinary people.
He didn't come recently, she said it didn't matter, it must have been that he forgot the time when he was studying, she didn't ask, she didn't urge, she didn't bother him. She just silently embroidered the purse she was going to give him, which were two twin flowers, also known as the other side flowers.
It is rumored that there is a Lethe River in the underworld, which is the boundary between living beings and souls, and the most beautiful flowers in the world grow on the banks of the Lethe River because of the thoughts of living beings and souls. But although the two flowers are the same plant of longing, they can only grow separately on both sides of the Lechuan River, only the longing remains, watching each other, and opening up from generation to generation.
Wang Shiyun's hair was full of green silk, his eyes looked at him softly, and then he used his last strength to say, "...... I don't wait for you. β
Zhu Qingshan knew that she had said that they should not be twin flowers after death, it was enough to be together when they still had breath, and when they crossed the Lechuan River in the future, he didn't wait for her, she wouldn't wait for him, don't be the poor flower on the other side, stride forward, and each pursue the next life.
She is such an elf and lovely girl, she said that she would not wait for him, and she didn't want each other to wait after this life, and most likely she wouldn't wait for herself.
Wang Shiyun finally closed his eyes, and two lines of tears slipped down his eyelids, and he died in his arms.
Zhu Qingshan leaned over, this senior brother who was evaluated as dull and uninteresting, hugged her head in front of her chest, hugged her tightly, and then burst into tears and cried bitterly.
There was only the man holding the woman's back in the square, and there was silence beside him.
After a while, Zen Master Huaihai sang and sighed, "The world is like a sea of suffering, what can I do!"
Princess Zhengyang looked sideways slightly, and the maid beside her, Jia Yunye, had already felt the same and gently wiped her tears.
When the surrounding people saw the Shushan disciple, they could only sigh.
But this is just an episode.
Li Tingfeng retracted his gaze, looked at Yang Sheng, and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty's decree that the disciples of Shushan will hand over the prisoners!"
Yang Sheng, Qinghe, Xiuyuan, Xuanrui, didn't seem to hear Li Tingfeng's voice, just looked at Zhu Qingyi on the other end, Yang Sheng's eyes were slightly red, as if there were many thorns piercing his eyeballs, and he couldn't help but feel sour.
He tasted the saltiness in his mouth, and his tears were salty and slightly bitter.
Yang Sheng was holding an axe and had no intention of letting people go. Chu Taoye's long sword is in his hand, and he is still facing the entire beam in this world.
Everyone realized that there was something obscure about the situation.
Li Tingfeng suddenly shouted angrily, "Don't let people go! What do you want? Do you want to violate Your Majesty's edict? You Shushan Sect is so bold! Even a disciple dares to disrespect the edict?"
The breath that was originally slightly relaxed suddenly tightened invisibly.
The white-clothed scholars of Bailu Academy saw the surrounding Fulong camp soldiers, the Privy Council soldiers, and even the cultivators of the Juxian Palace, all of them were on guard to face those lonely Shushan disciples, but everyone's eyes revealed that they did not understand.
Yang Sheng's voice rang out.
He said.
"It's not enough. β
......
It's not enough.
What does that mean?
Everyone looked at each other, and then some people's eyes were surprised, and anger floated, which means that he was not convinced by this result, the verdict from His Majesty Emperor Liang?
Yes, now the first time can only be interpreted with unconvincing, in fact, the other party is a strong refutation of this edict from Emperor Liang. Some people reacted and already felt frightened, as long as they compared, they knew what kind of things this Shushan disciple was doing...... In the face of the supreme monarch of the Great Liang, what he actually did was ...... Questioned this ruling!
Emperor Liang's resolution took into account the face of Qilizong and Taihao League, and also took into account the contradictions and backlash within the Great Liang, which was the position of the monarch in the world, and the decision after repeated weighing. Even the Three Dukes, the Taihao League's staff officer, the elders of the Qili Sect, and the authoritative forces at the top of the Great Liang Party all silently expressed their approval after the edict came out.
At this time, the little disciple of the remnants of Shu Mountain, which was located in Yinxiu Peak, had not yet held him accountable for his transgression in the Liang Dynasty, and he dared to face the edict at this time and openly refused.
These three words seemed to be more shocking than the previous exposure of Jiang Yin's deeds, and they spread out from all sides around the palace, like thunder exploding one after another in this dark night in Daliang. In the face of the previous deliberate cold treatment of Jiang Yin, this muffled thunder seemed to be more powerful and louder.
In this way, the rolling thunder shook all the way into the palace of the Liang Dynasty.
The civil and military officials gathered in the palace at this time all looked at each other in front of this news.
His Majesty is trying to downplay the impact of this incident as much as possible, and the Shushan disciple who is holding the hostage, is it possible that he wants to make this matter bigger and rebel!?
Countless people couldn't help but scold out immediately.
"Shushan Sect, Shushan Sect, I already knew that this sect was already scattered! I can't even manage a disciple! How did that person become the peak master?"
"Why haven't the people from Chisong and Shushan come over yet, this is slack?...... Ever since these people came, I've had a series of accidents! Who knows if there's something behind them?"
"There has always been a saying about the demons of Shushan, I think we can issue an edict to take down the important people of Chisong and Shushan, and strictly review it, and we will definitely be able to find out the problem!"
"What are you waiting for, under Your Majesty's order, those Shushan disciples dare not let go, and they will be attacked and killed immediately!"
"It's easy to hurt Jiang Yin...... Then the follow-up investigation may have to be cut off......"
"Your Majesty......"
"Your Majesty has summoned the Third Duke again...... It must be a crusade against Shushan!"
In the Liang Emperor's bedroom, there seemed to be a violent sound of the incense burner being overturned.
Then all the rumors gathered together, and it seemed to gather on the Shushan disciple named Zhu Qingyi and the affected Wang Shiyun.
The intelligence information about Wang Shiyun was quickly found out and gathered in the dormitory.
After a while, Zhao Guogong walked out of the palace again, faced the civil and military officials waiting outside the palace, and said loudly, "Your Majesty's decree, in this incident, Wang Shiyun is an innocent person who was used, and he will not be held accountable, and he will find out the mastermind behind the demon disaster. β
Outside the dormitory, some officials immediately spoke, "Your Majesty, you can't compromise for it!"
"That Wang Wei is the person implicated in the impeachment case in the twenty-ninth year of Jingyuan, and he has been convicted and beheaded, and now he is given an official gift, how can he be ...... in the mouth of the world!?"
"In my opinion, the Shushan disciple dares to disobey the order and take it directly, is it possible that there are so many strong people present, and there is no way to take him?"
"He's not alone...... It is said that Chu Taoye, the chief disciple of the Shushan Wawu vein, is also supporting him......"
"This Shushan Sect...... What a damn ......."
Zhao Guogong ignored these voices and ordered the transmission of His Majesty's edict.
The edict was transmitted to the palace of the Xujing Temple, and the voice of the Taiwei who was responsible for conveying the edict was loud, echoing in the open square of the huge palace.
Everyone heard this backward resolution.
The white-clothed people of Bailu Academy were stunned and spoke, "I didn't expect Emperor Liang to really back down." β
Zhu Yongchun, the leader of the first banner of the Fulong camp, looked sink.
I don't know what to do! This time it will definitely damage Daliang's face, and in the end it will still be Shushan who suffers!
On the side of Tahoe League, Li Tingfeng looked at Yang Sheng coldly, "If you want to get this result, you can get your wish." He sneered in his heart, how stupid the other party was! He actually risked further offending all parties of the Great Liang for the daughter of a criminal official, but there was a small Shushan disciple of the other party, and he could be regarded as a newborn calf who didn't know the tiger, and he didn't know that anyone who was paying attention to the outcome here at the moment could crush him.
Jia Yun revealed a little joy and said, "Your Highness, I didn't expect Your Majesty to be relieved." β
Zhengyang shook his head and muttered, "It's not a good thing. β
Jia Yun reacted, and her face became ugly. Yes, the Shushan disciple refuted the edict by holding Jiang Yin hostage, and forced Emperor Liang to issue another edict to rehabilitate Wang Shiyun, but in the end, the price after this came one after another, not only him, the Shushan disciple, but the entire Shushan sect had to bear this price.
She and Princess Zhengyang sympathized with the love between the Shushan disciple named Zhu Qingshan and Wang Shiyun, and sympathized with the actions of this group of Shushan disciples to stick knives in the ribs of their companions, but they also knew that they would also bring disaster.
In the face of the supreme monarchy, in the face of the Tahoe League, which rules over thousands of monks, there is no room for bargaining. The scenery obtained today may be returned several times afterwards!
Then, when the new edict was announced, all eyes were on.
Yang Sheng still didn't hand over Jiang Yin in his hand, he said, "The soul of the person is gone, and she doesn't need to wait for her in the future, do you care if these humiliations in front of her can be rehabilitated?...... She doesn't need your compensation. β
A low uproar gradually spread from a small range of astonishment.
If everyone just thought that this Shushan disciple would dare to do this?
So now, they suddenly felt the weight in each other's tone, like a heavy hammer, pressing heavily on the hearts of everyone here.
They are more honored than him, and they are more noble than him. But at this time, the other party has to concentrate and experience the tenacity and determination from him.
"That's the endβ" Li Tingfeng, the official of the royal court, contained the bass of wind and thunder, and came word by word.
Holding Jiang Yin, who had his throat cut, smiled, he tilted his head slightly, looking at Yang Sheng, the throat that had been cut before had been closed, and his recovery power was extremely strong, and his voice was still coughing up blood, but he could already speak loudly, and he said to Yang Sheng, "See you...... Just take it...... This is your best bet...... Can't you do it...... I still want you to preside over justice in Shushan and hand me over to Shushan...... I can't afford ......"
"Why bother...... You've done a good job for the sake of being a mortal...... But you don't understand, and neither does Zhu Qingshan...... We're the kind of people. Jiang Yin said, "We are all cultivators, and the pursuit of longer lives, greater strength, and the ability to make choices is the biggest difference between us and mortals...... Don't spoil the big picture for the sake of a pet. There can be no war between us. β
Jiang Yin said, ready to get up, but found that Yang Sheng's strength surged, and he knelt on the ground again.
The eyes of those parties either condensed or widened and there was anger.
"Young man, I don't know how thick the sky is!"
Yang Sheng looked around, looked into the eyes of the Qili Sect and the Taihao Alliance, and said, "That's your verdict...... That's not our verdict......"
On the other side of the square, Zhu Qingshan, who was holding Wang Shiyun, turned his head, looked at Yang Sheng with a pair of red eyes, the two looked at each other, as if they saw something in Yang Sheng's eyes, Zhu Qingshan nodded lightly.
Yang Sheng retracted his gaze and landed on Jiang Yin below, Jiang Yin immediately seemed to have discovered something, an incredible look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he spoke, "No ......!"
Qili Sect Sun Zhao and everyone changed, "An dare!?"
Li Tingfeng of the Tahoe League was covered in sweat and hair, "Vertical!"
Yang Sheng said, "This is my verdict!"
Then he lifted the axe, and the Qianhu axe was raised, and with a streamer of light, it moved down, cutting off Jiang Yin's head.
Immediately, he fell with a kick and stepped Jiang Yin's head, which was still with a stunned gaze, into the dust.
