Bulwark of Light

Chapter 983 Bright Guidance (thanks to Lord Wolf in [-])

Outside the last secret prison door.

Su Ye, Yao Jin, and those heavily armored servants are all waiting.

The first elder closed the door of the secret prison, and no one knew what happened inside... But some things can be speculated, the second elder will not commit suicide for no reason.

Yuan Yang is Meng Xizhou's mentor.

He helped the Meng family a lot, and it was his credit that Meng Xiao was able to take the position of the Holy Son of the temple as the Grand Duke of Beizhou.

It's just that everyone in Guangming City knows that the reason why Yuan Yang did these things was because of Meng Xizhou——

He treated Meng Xizhou very well, and had no children for more than seventy years, so he regarded Meng Xizhou as his own.

The talent, comprehension, and aptitude of the Goddess of Light are all top-notch. The temple has never encountered such a genius in the past hundred years. The genius boy inside.

Yuan Yang only found one, and found the most powerful one!
The longer he stayed in the temple, the more he knew that the relationship between the Great Elder and Yuan Yang was extraordinary.

The pair of brothers and sisters seldom communicate with each other on weekdays, but their relationship is extremely deep.

Yuan Yang has been desperately searching for the [undead] over the years, offended many people, and caused many troubles...

These troubles spread to Guangming City, and it was the Great Elder who came forward to settle them.

Sitting in a wheelchair, Yao Jin wiped the blood from the corners of her lips with a handkerchief. After being slapped, her cheek was still in hot pain.

But his eyes were blank.

These injuries are nothing.

What he was worried about...was the aftermath of Yuan Yang's suicide.

If the Second Elder used his own death as the price to let the First Elder fulfill a last wish... then the First Elder might find it difficult to refuse.

If this wish is to let Meng Xizhou leave the secret prison.

Then maybe today, Meng Xizhou can really leave here.

Yao Jin didn't know what would happen after the door of the secret prison opened.

……

……

Everyone didn't wait too long.

less than a moment.

The heavy door of the last secret cell was slowly opened, and a faint smell of blood wafted from the darkness, and the Great Elder appeared in everyone's field of vision dragging his blood-stained robe.

He is only one person.

The heavily armored servants who were waiting nervously were taken aback for a moment, they were not fools, they knew what the Second Elder's suicide meant.

Only the Great Elder appeared.

It means... the goddess is still imprisoned in the secret prison.

"Yao Jin, you will be deprived of your status as 'Secret Prison Master' from now on, and you don't need to participate in the next fire trial."

The Great Elder said calmly: "Su Ye Shengzi, please temporarily take over the secret prison for a period of time... until you find a new 'manager', the job of guarding the goddess will be handed over to you."

"Yes...that's what I should do."

Su Ye spoke in a deep voice, and readily agreed.

Yao Jin felt a little complicated when he heard the disposition. The goddess was still imprisoned, which meant that the death of the second elder did not change anything.

Just, really didn't change anything?

He looked into the eyes of the Great Elder, from which he saw an imperceptible tiredness.

"The Great Elder—"

Yao Jin spoke up, but he didn't mention the matter of the secret prison, nor did he intercede for himself.

He just asked softly, "Where should I go?"

"..."

The Great Elder silently looked at this junior who he had admired so much.

He only needs to take a look at what happened in this secret prison to understand.

As for how Yuan Yang died, he knew exactly who pushed him invisibly during this link.

In fact, Yao Jin did nothing wrong, because the Guangming Temple only looks at the results and does not ask about the process... If Yuan Yang successfully obtained the whereabouts of the [Holy Book], even if he was told that Yao Jin tampered with the plan privately during the mission, he would not There will be real punishment.

But now, the whereabouts of the [Holy Book] have not been obtained.

His junior brother committed suicide in prison.

He said hoarsely, "Sunset Mountain."

Sunset Mountain next to the Red Lake is a place where many members retreat and cultivate their minds.

Those who used to be important members of the temple, if they are too old or physically disabled to perform tasks, they will be assigned to Sunset Mountain, which is still at the core of the "temple", but those people on the mountain no longer grasp the actual situation. divine right.

They still wear the robes of the temple.

But it no longer belongs to the core of the power hub of the temple.

As soon as these three words were uttered... everyone understood that this "shadow" who was appreciated and reused with great difficulty was rearranged into the darkness before he could stand in the light.

"……Yes."

Facing this arrangement, Yao Jin's face was very calm.

The Great Elder left the secret prison, and Su Ye also left.

Those heavy-armored servants left with Su Ye... The dark cold wind blew by, and Yao Jin, who was left behind by everyone, looked back at the heavy door that was slowly closing in the last secret prison.

He smiled silently, pushed the wheelchair alone, and left this dark place that no longer belonged to him.

From one darkness to another.

……

……

In the days that followed, Guangming City seemed to become much cleaner and more peaceful.

The celebration of the holy ceremony did not stop.

Countless believers paraded in the street day and night, no matter who looked at it, this scene had nothing to do with the word "purity".

However, the night watchmen of the Gu family scattered around Guangming City only eat, drink and sleep every day, and the task of the holy inquisitors is just to keep an eye on them... For the temple, this is the greatest purity!

Su Ye stared at the Gu family mission.

He knew the relationship between Gu Nanfeng and Meng Xizhou, and he also knew what Gu Nanfeng was going to do on this journey to the west.

After Yao Jin was deposed, Su Ye got the control of the "Secret Prison" as he wished, but the uneasiness in his heart did not dissipate, but gradually aggravated with the passage of time.

The night before a storm is always silent.

He didn't think that Gu Nanfeng had the ability and means to break through the deployment of the Temple of Light and reach the secret prison.

There is not only him here, but also the Holy Inquisitor Jia Wei and the Great Elder.

All the masters of the temple gathered. Although it was impossible to keep an eye on the secret prison all the time, as long as there was a disturbance, the entire city of light would focus on it.

But he always felt that he was missing something.

In the mist of the Red Lake, a small boat sailed in. The boat made countless ripples, and finally stopped slowly in the middle of the lake.

"..."

Yao Jin looked at the presiding judge in bright light armor. He really wanted to say something, but in the end he was silent.

It has been several days since I came to Sunset Mountain.

He looked at the extraordinary beings coming and going down the mountain...

The Fire Seed Trial in Bright City has reached its third round. Those extraordinary people from Outer Continent who have passed the test in the Heart Washing Pool have all received the "Spark Dream" gifted by the temple. If they want to be truly recognized by Bright Fire, they must pass the test. The spiritual test of "Dream of Tinder", this level is much more difficult than the previous heart washing pool.

Only those who match the "Tinder Dream" are eligible to participate in the final round.

In a few days, the authority of the temple will be opened, and everyone can come to the Red Lake to watch the final competition. Those extraordinary people who pass the compatibility test of the Tinder Dream will have the opportunity to set foot on the Red Lake.

Lord God is on the opposite side of the lake.

Arrive at the other side.

See God seat.

If you do this, you may have the opportunity to be recognized by "Bright Tinder".

Even if it fails, it is a great opportunity to be able to see the seat of God.

The silence between the two lasted for a long time, and finally Jia Wei spoke first: "Sunset Mountain is a very clean place."

"Yes."

Yao Jin smiled, "There is light there, a beautiful light."

Every day at sunset in Xizhou, countless red lights will pass over the Red Lake and fall into Sunset Mountain.

Here is the most beautiful sunset in the world.

At the same time, you can also see the "sunrise" of the miracle of light... For more than 90 years, the new and the old have been alternating, with only one day of interruption.

"I already know about the secret prison."

Jia Wei said: "This is the arrangement made by the Great Elder. I can't change it, so you can't change anything when you come to see me."

"I didn't come to beg you."

Yao Jin lowered his eyebrows and said, "I just have something to say to you."

He paused and explained seriously: "Although the Great Elder arranged for me to go to Sunset Mountain for confinement, at least I still have the qualifications to enter this red lake... This means that I still have a chance to see you now. God, I'm worried I won't see it."

"Yuan Yang committed suicide after all."

Jia Wei shook his head and said: "The anger of the Great Elder is only temporary. Although I can't let you leave Sunset Mountain. But I can guarantee that you can live with dignity in the temple. No matter what time you set foot on the Red Lake Qualifications."

"Master Holy Judge, I have never understood why you value me so much."

Yao Jin's expression was a bit complicated.

He laughed at himself: "I am dragging such a broken body, no matter how much you cultivate... I can't wear a heavy armor like [Mingguang Armor] and walk freely. I am only suitable for committing myself in the dark and doing some shameless act."

"..."

Jia Wei was silent.

"In the past few days at Sunset Mountain, I have thought about many things and noticed something is wrong..."

Yao Jin said softly: "I made a very wrong decision about the secret prison, which led to a very bad result, so no matter what punishment the Great Elder makes, I am willing to accept it. But now that I think about it, many arrangements here, It's all really weird. I don't understand why the me at that time wanted to go crazy and track down the whereabouts of the 'behind the scenes', so I had to bet on it at all costs."

Jia Wei frowned.

"intuition."

Yao Jin said softly: "I feel like my 'gut feeling' has betrayed me."

Jia Wei looked directly at Yao Jin, and said slowly, "What do you want to say?"

"I always feel that, deep in my heart, there is an invisible voice guiding me forward."

Yao Jin chuckled and said, "These words sound absurd, don't they? It's like trying to put all the blame on that illusory 'voice'...but actually that's not what I mean, I just want to tell my lord, If I do it again, I will probably do it again. I can't resist the guidance of that voice, even if I am deprived of the qualifications of the secret prison master, even if I am sent to Sunset Mountain, until now, I still want to gamble again .”

"Are you crazy?"

Jia Wei's voice was a little surprised.

"I'm not crazy."

Yao Jin said sincerely: "I can swear in the 'name of light' that everything I just said is true."

"I came to Red Lake today just to ask my lord a question... Have you ever felt such an 'intuition' on the path guided by the light?"

The holy presiding officer sitting on the surface of the Red Lake fell into a long silence.

Follow the light and be guided.

This is something every believer is proud of.

Of course, Jia Wei has felt it too... and the "Guidance of Light" that he remembers most is the stab in Sangzhou Grotto.
