Chapter 12: Afternoon II

The afternoon sun is just right.

Tang Xueluo stood alone in front of Jinyun Gate.

Jinyun Gate is the gateway of the main peak of Lingshan, the white and flawless gatehouse has not left the slightest trace of vicissitudes of life washed by the wind and rain, three large characters written by the previous generation of witch saint Tang Yu are shining on the top of the archway, overlooking the people who come in and out from here every day.

The sunlight was a little dazzling, and the white flowers shone on a straight mountain road.

This mountain road is divided into nine sections to reach the peak, but ordinary people can not walk endlessly with a lifetime, so it is called "Dengxian Road".

Tang Xueluo has been unable to count how many times he has walked up and down on this road to heaven since he can remember.

Today, she stood in front of the road to heaven but suddenly felt a strangeness for no reason.

Qingshan is still there, but Zhu Yan has changed.

The sixteen witch disciples on duty in front of the Jinyun Gate bowed to her in unison and welcomed the great priest's return to the mountain.

After the ceremony, a young disciple of the Witch Sect stepped forward and said, "Great Priest, I don't know if there is anything that needs the service of my subordinates?"

Looking at the blazing reverence and admiration in the eyes of this young disciple, Tang Xueluo secretly sighed.

In the eyes of tens of millions of witch cultists, her status is second only to Tang Yan, and she is a big man with supreme authority and glory, but it is also a shackle and a shackle.

She shook her head at the young disciple and walked up the hill on her own.

Lingshan is as quiet and quiet as ever, the forest Cistanche Mountain is empty, and occasionally a few bold little squirrels jump over the road to Dengxian, and they are not afraid of pedestrians.

A disciple had already reported the news of the Great Priest's order to return to the mountain, so the doctor Zhu Lingkong, the head of the four major protectors, personally went down the mountain to pick it up.

As soon as the two met, Ling Kong confirmed the death of Granny Shang to Tang Xueluo.

The bad news came out, and Lingshan was sad.

"When, when, when-" The green bull bell on the top of the mountain rang first, and the bell lingered leisurely among the lofty mountains and mountains, soaring to the top of the sky.

"When, when, when-" The witch temple full of mountains then struck the bell and responded to the harmony, with Lingshan as the dot, the bell was transmitted in waves and circles to all directions, hundreds of miles and thousands of miles away.

In an instant, the north reaches the desert and the south reaches the sea, and the white mountains and black waters are stacked on top of each other, and the bells of the witch temple ring everywhere.

Tang Xueluo had heard this bell once.

It was a long, long time ago, and she and Granny Shang returned with the ashes of the witch saint Tang Yu, and the bell rang all over the mountains and fields as today.

At that time, the white-haired mother-in-law was on the left and on the right, and her warm big hands led her step by step, climbing the spiritual mountain step by step.

Now, there is only one person left, holding the spirit of his mother-in-law, holding his mother-in-law's ashes, step by step, going up, going up.

Don't look back, don't be sad.

And yet the tears ...... Tears burst out of his eyes in an instant, blurring his vision and clarifying the past.

Twenty-eight bells, one thousand and one suona, this is the highest salute of the witch cult, and it is also the glory behind the mother-in-law.

- But you can't cry yet!

- Because, you can't let your mother-in-law down!

Tang Xueluo bit her lips, raised her face to let the tears flow back, steamed dry in the sun, and saw the rainbow in the sky in a trance.

In front of the Guanghan Palace on the top of the mountain, thousands of people gathered and knelt on both sides of the palace gate.

The Great Witch Zhu Tang Yan held his sick body and knelt on the Qianqiu platform outside the palace gate.

His head was deeply knocked on the ground, and he couldn't see the expression of his face at this moment, only his body was trembling imperceptibly, as if he was in great pain in his heart.

Tang Xueluo saw Tang Yan from a distance, she held the urn of Granny Shang in both hands, came to Tang Yan's side, and bowed down: "Great Wu Zhu." ”

Tang Yan raised his head, his eyes were red and his face was sad, and he stretched out his hands to take his mother's urn and hold it in his arms.

Looking at his haggard and sad appearance, Tang Xueluo's heart seemed to be frozen by frost, and said, "Let's send my mother-in-law home." ”

"Okay!" Tang Yan slowly stood up, fine cold sweat oozed from his forehead, his face became even paler, and blood stains were faintly visible under the vein.

But he quickly straightened his waist and let out a long breath and said loudly, "The soul is back—"

"The soul returns-" Up and down the mountain, thousands of people called together, and the earth shook the mountain.

Tang Yan was in front, Tang Xue was behind, followed by Yizhu Lingkong and all the elders, all the witches, and all the wizards, more than 100 people were lined up in two rows according to the level, and they entered the Guanghan Palace.

In just over an hour, the Guanghan Palace has turned into a world covered in silver.

The spirit flags fluttered high in the wind, and the disciples under the flags sang in unison, solemn and solemn.

Shang Fanyi's mourning hall was set up in the Crane Garden, where she used to live.

The mourning blessing Kyaukyue Valley served as the master of ceremonies, lit a bonfire in the garden, and led Tang Yan to hold the urn in his hand and go around the nine circles before entering the mourning hall.

Tang Xueluo lowered her eyes from beginning to end and quietly completed the reincarnation ceremony, and the hustle and bustle around her seemed to be far away from her, as if coming from another world.

There were fewer and fewer people in the mourning hall, and in the end, only Tang Yan, Ling Kong, Jiaoyue Valley and Tang Xueluo were left.

Tang Yan purified his face, and the servant served tea and retreated.

He looked at Tang Xueluo with a teacup, and said in a hoarse voice: "How did the old lady pass away?"

"It's a tragedy. Tang Xueluo replied.

"It's just a tragedy?" Tang Yan asked thoughtfully.

Tang Xueluo raised her eyes and looked at Tang Yan in surprise, but Tang Yan didn't speak.

A person walked in outside the mourning hall, and it was Zheng Chengzhi, the purple-robed tiger king.

Tang Yan blew on the tea leaves and said in a deep voice, "You come on." ”

"Yes!" Zheng Chengzhi cleared his throat and responded: "The villain swears with the life of the whole family, and that day it was the three of Da Si Ming and Yan Kui, Xiang Lin, and Ji Chengche who joined forces to kill the old lady and His Royal Highness Xiang Yue!"

Tang Xueluo's heart jumped, and Tang Yan's cold gaze was met head-on.

In an instant, she understood everything.

Tang Xueluo smiled and said contemptuously: "It turns out that what they said is true. ”

"Presumptuous!" Tang Yan shouted, but he scolded Zheng Chengzhi angrily: "You dare to slander the Great Commander?!"

"The villain doesn't dare!" Zheng Chengzhi was not so frightened, bowed down and said: "What the villain said is true!"

Tang Yan raised his eyebrows and said: "Do you know that the old lady is as kind to the great priest as a mountain, how can she be justified in harming her?"

Zheng Chengzhi replied: "The villain knows, but the great priest is the biological daughter of the demon of Yan Kui, this matter is true!"

Tang Xueluo completely understood, although Zheng Chengzhi was present that day, it was absolutely impossible to know the secret of his life experience. The only possibility is that someone revealed the matter to him and then told it through his mouth.

An absurd and clumsy performance.

Tang Xueluo's gaze swept over Tang Yan, Ling Kong, Jiaoyue Valley and Zheng Chengzhi, and suddenly wanted to laugh.

Ling Kong coughed and said, "Da Si Ming, is what Zheng Chengzhi said true?"

Tang Xueluo said lightly: "Except for shamelessness, what else is here?"

The Bright Moon Valley said: "Da Si Ming, this is the Old Taijun Spirit Hall, please be cautious!"

Tang Xueluo didn't hear it, and looked sideways at Tang Yan and said: "Da Wuzhu, you are too anxious, why don't you want to wait any longer? On your mother-in-law's mourning hall, you can't wait to frame you, don't you think it's too ugly?"

Tang Yan said with a cold face: "Why did I frame you?

Tang Xueluo slowly got up and said, "If a person has no bottom line, he is already dead." In three days, I will convene the Thousand Lanterns Society to remove the Great Witch Zhu!"

Tang Yan's face was embarrassed, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.

He thought about Tang Xueluo's various reactions, but he didn't expect her counterattack to come so quickly and fiercely without any mercy!

The so-called Thousand Lantern Festival is to convene more than 1,000 elders of the witch sect to vote on the removal of the Great Witch Wish.

At the time of voting, there was a lamp in front of each person, and if it was blown out, it would indicate that it would approve the recall, so it was called the Thousand Lantern Society.

Such recalls have only taken place twice since the establishment of the Witchcraft.

And the delicate and delicate girl in front of her turned out to be the third person in history!

After a long time, Tang Yan laughed, and laughed angrily.

"In less than three days, today I will abolish your great order!"

"You have no right to depose me. Tang Xueluo's bright eyes were as clear as a clear spring, and he stared at Tang Yan calmly: "No matter how big you are, you can't be as big as the rules set by Wu Zu!"

Tang Yan said lightly: "What you said is right, I can't break the canon." But your crime of colluding with foreign thieves to murder the old lady is unforgivable. I don't want to talk to you too much, so you can just think about it in this mourning hall and wait for it to fall!"

Without waiting for Tang Xueluo to speak, he flicked his sleeves and shouted, "Please Ancestral Spirit!"

"Ancestral spirit, please-" The mourning wish of the Bright Moon Valley responded coldly, and the soul was summoned to the sky.

"Uh-" The curtains around the mourning hall suddenly leaked, revealing thirty-seven black spirit cards behind them.

Tang Xueluo was taken aback, and said angrily: "Uncle, you actually invited the Ancestor Spirit Card here!"

Tang Yan sneered: "You just have to repent and reflect on the spirit cards of the ancestors and ancestors!"

"Boom-" The entire mourning hall shook slightly, and the thirty-seven spirit cards lit up with brilliance, and an invisible coercion came, like a mountain and a sea in the town of Tang Xueluo.

The Bright Moon Valley waved the spirit and said: "The great priest, do it yourself!"

As he spoke, Tang Yan took the lead in walking out of the mourning hall, and Ling Kong, Zheng Chengzhi and others also walked out.

"Bang!" the door of the mourning hall was slammed shut by the Bright Moon Valley, cutting off the noise of the world.

Tang Xueluo sighed softly, sat down cross-legged again, and sacrificed the Destiny of Heaven Plate.

"Hum-" The Destiny Plate of Heaven shone in her arms, shining like the rising sun.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang bang!"

One after another, an incomparably strong will is knocking on Tang Xueluo's Linghai Zhitian, which is a greeting from thousands of years ago, and it is the clarion call of the great witches of the past dynasties to wish the heroic spirits.

Tang Xueluo opened her heart peacefully, and under the guidance of the Destiny of Heaven, she accepted and fused the will of her ancestors, and she had no fear even if she died nine times.

There are gods three feet above their heads.

This is what my mother-in-law said to herself, and her words will never be wrong.

At this moment, the mother-in-law is here, and her heroic spirit will silently protect herself.

Not afraid, not alone.
