This seat is a villain

Lin Jinhuan woke up from the darkness.

The moment he opened his eyes, he wasn't confused at all, Lin Jinhuan clearly understood the current situation in his heart.Mount Jialou was destroyed, Jiutian Gate was slaughtered, Wen Qiaohe died, Lin Chao and his wife Qin Chuqi were both martyred for sealing the seven evil gods.

During the days when he was in a coma, everything that happened on the day Jialou Mountain was besieged and suppressed had replayed countless times in his dreams.

Every picture has grown into his body, even the tendons and skin, deeply penetrated into the bone marrow.

Lin Jinhuan sat up from the stone bed, raised his eyes and looked around.This is a cold stone room, there is no window in the stone room, the only iron door is locked, and there is nothing in the room except a stone collapse.

Although Lin Jinhuan is not familiar with this place, he has been here several times.This is the stone prison of Jiutianmen, which was previously used to detain disciples who violated the precepts.This stone prison was built under the execution hall, and the whole body was made of holding stones, with formations on all sides.Rao is as deep as Lin Jinhuan, once locked in this stone prison, he will be hard to fly.

Unexpectedly, Xue Yao even knew this place, Lin Jinhuan smiled and looked down at his palm.At this moment, all the injuries on his body, big and small, have been meticulously treated, and he has even changed into a set of clean clothes.When he just woke up, he found that there was no spiritual power flowing in his inner mansion, and his limbs were heavy, no different from ordinary people. This should be the credit of the pair of binding stone bracelets on his wrist.

Fortunately, the stone ring is not harmful to the body, but it can temporarily seal up the spiritual power of the person.

At this time, an insignificant sound outside the door caught Lin Jinhuan's attention.Although Lin Jinhuan's spiritual power was sealed, his five senses were different from ordinary people. He was keenly aware of a person coming from Shiwai.

The man's footsteps were extremely light, he didn't come in, he just stood quietly outside the iron gate, and left quietly after a while.

Xue Yao hurriedly left the stone prison. He took the battle report of the encirclement and suppression of Jiutianmen from Xiao Pei, and looked at it at a glance as he walked.

"Order to go down and prepare the horse to return to Beijing." Xue Yao said.

"Back to Beijing at this time, will there be any changes in the remnants of Jiutianmen?" Xiao Pei was a little worried after the Demon Sect had just been expelled.

Xue Yao said: "You stay in charge of the follow-up affairs, they can't afford to make trouble."

Xiao Pei thought about it, now that the master of Jiutianmen is dead, Lin Jinhuan, the young master, is imprisoned in a stone prison, almost all members of Jiutianmen are lost, and the whereabouts of Lin Chao's personal disciple Yanqing, Lin Jinyi and others are unknown.Wen Qiaohe, the most powerful of the three elders, was put to death by Qi Ying, and Situ Kun had taken the initiative to bring the remaining disciples to submit to the court.There are still many people who are not willing to die, but Xue Yao still spared their lives, and they are all being detained in the stone prison at the moment.

Thinking about it this way, the remnants of the Nine Heavens Sect have indeed become irrelevant.

Xuanwu rode into Jialou Mountain, and with the assistance of Situ Kun, the Privy Council has successfully taken over the affairs of Jiutianmen.Although the Jiutianmen has been destroyed, the foundation of the family's great cause is strong and the forces are intertwined, which has a far-reaching impact on Kyushu. However, it will take some effort to completely recover the various forces of the Jiutianmen.

"That's right, you go back first." Xiao Pei thought he had figured out the joints, he patted Xue Yao on the shoulder and said to him: "This finishing work won't be finished in a while, you don't need to waste time here .”

Xue Yao was noncommittal, and walked out without looking back.

Xue Yao returned to his study and picked up the memorabilia that had already been written on the table. The content of the memorandum was very simple. Guan Shanyu’s whereabouts were unknown after the Nine Heavens Gate was destroyed. After Guan Shanyu's whereabouts, it will not be too late to send them out separately.

Xue Yao carefully read the memorial written by himself from beginning to end, then closed it and threw it into the pile of waste paper beside it.

In the next few days, Lin Jinhuan seemed to be deliberately forgotten, and no one came to this cell again.Lin Jinhuan judged day and night alone in this darkness by the time of daily food delivery.

Lin Jinhuan didn't find it difficult to live like this, he ate on time every day and devoted himself to cultivation.Although his spiritual power was blocked, he clearly understood that he had inherited all the powers of the seven evil spirits at the moment when Lin Chao was martyred, and his cultivation was no longer what it used to be.

These little tricks can't trap him in the end, but he still needs some time right now, and he's not afraid to wait.

This long practice is a dialogue between Lin Jinhuan and himself. He seems to have split into two people, and every night he keeps turning his head to examine his past.

Lin Jinhuan found that what Lin Chao said was right. In the past, he was always too naive, thinking too simply about the black and white of the world.

He lived and died alone in the darkness without the light of day, and quietly completed the rebirth of Nirvana one after another.

Finally, a month later, the iron door in front of him was opened, and a group of men in black led Lin Jinhuan out of the stone prison.

Today's Jialou Mountain looks no different from the past, but there are few familiar faces. Lin Jinhuan followed the man in black without saying a word, and soon came to Qingxintang.

Lin Jinhuan's hearing ability is now better than before, as soon as he entered the gate of Qingxin Hall, he heard someone's voice coming from the direction of the study.The team of men in black really led him towards the direction of the voice.

"Are you crazy? You traveled all the way back to the capital just to contradict the emperor for a remnant of the Demon Cult?" Although Xiao Pei was far away in Jialou Mountain, he had heard about Xue Yao's actions in the capital for a long time, and he was heartbroken. Said to Xue Yao: "You have really done a lot of great things when you returned to Beijing this time."

Xue Yao sat down in front of the desk as if nothing had happened, took a document and started to look it up.Xue Yao refused to move to Liuxiang Palace after he took over Jialou Mountain, and still lived in Qingxintang.

Xue Yao looked around and said to him, "Am I crazy? He promised me a long time ago."

"Who would have thought that you were so bold as to protect people from the Jiutianmen?" Xue Yao's bastard words made Xiao Pei's teeth itch: "Didn't you see what the Jiutianmen has done for thousands of years? Not killing is not enough The civilians are angry! Besides, this siege is not a complete victory, don't forget the three thousand innocent people who died in vain!"

Xiao Pei took a big gulp of water, still feeling out of breath, and questioned Xue Yao like a cannonball: "I'm just wondering, what kind of courtyard do you own in the suburbs of Beijing? A family. Are you here to suppress bandits or to give a bride price?"

Xue Yao originally planned to persuade the emperor to keep Lin Jinhuan on the grounds that Guan Shanyu's whereabouts were unknown.But in the end, he decided to go back to Beijing to ask the emperor in person.

Xue Yao worked tirelessly for a few days before returning to Jialou Mountain. He was too lazy to learn as much as Xiao Pei right now. He put the annotated documents aside, looked at Xiao Pei lightly and said, "Have you said enough? Get out of here soon!" , I get a headache when I see you."

Xue Yao's words successfully attracted Xiao Pei's gaze to his own head. Xiao Pei gloated and approached Xue Yao and said, "Let me see your forehead, tsk tsk, you deserve it. Why didn't the emperor wake you up?" ?” Xiao Pei stared at the wound on Xue Yao’s forehead for a while, and then said with a look of fear: “Fortunately, you have contributed to Li Yun’s treason case, otherwise, I’m afraid you will go down to be his company.”

Seeing that Xue Yao didn't answer, Xiao Pei said to himself, "With the exception of Li Yun, the emperor and the Privy Council can finally breathe a sigh of relief. It's just that Li Yun is so good, how could he suddenly think of rebelling..."

It turned out that not long after Xue Yao returned to Beijing, Li Yun, who was in power for a while, was found out to be planning a palace change with the intention of rebelling.As soon as this incident happened, the government and the public were shocked for a while.All the officials involved, headed by Li Yun, were imprisoned, and Li Yun committed suicide in prison shortly thereafter.

Although Xue Yao didn't mention it to Xiao Pei, this matter was really strange. Rather than saying that Li Yun participated in the rebellion, it was better to say that he fell headfirst into a situation set up by someone.

Xiao Pei suddenly seemed to think of something, looked at Xue Yao with horror on his face, and said, "It's not your fault, is it?"

Xiao Pei's guess is not without grounds, and many people in the court also think so in private.Xue Yao had already had enough of this scapegoat, covered Xiao Pei's chattering mouth tirelessly, and said, "Hush—shut up, someone is here."

Sure enough, a moment later, Xuanwuqi's voice sounded outside the door.

"Adult, people have brought."

"Bring it in." Xue Yao said to the door, then turned his head and mouthed to Xiao Pei, "Get lost."

When Lin Jinhuan walked into the study, the deputy envoy next to Xue Yao was walking out. He turned around and looked at Lin Jinhuan three times a step at a time, his eyes seemed to stare two holes in him.

Xue Yao coughed twice and said, "Don't pay attention to him, sit down."

Lin Jinhuan obediently sat down on a chair in the room, the distance between them was neither close nor far.

Enemies meet, there is no tension, and there is no life and death, the calm between the two of them is a bit abnormal.Xue Yao and Lin Jinhuan sat facing each other, neither of them spoke.

Outside the window, the leaves are rustling, the summer cicadas are making noise, and the wind chimes hung by Lin Jinhuan in the porch are swaying with the wind.

Xue Yao regretted seeing Lin Jinhuan in Qingxintang, there were too many pasts that he could never forget.Now that the two are reunited here, everything around them seems ironic.

"You..." Xue Yao had just uttered a word and didn't know how to speak. He was speechless for a moment, and finally asked, "Do you have anything to ask me?"

Xue Yao seemed to feel that his words were too blunt, so he slowed down his tone and said in a different way: "No matter what you ask, I will tell you the truth, and I will stop lying."

Lin Jinhuan pursed his lips and smiled as if hearing something interesting.He raised his eyes to look at Xue Yao, twitched the end of his eyes slightly, and said with a half-smile: "Young Envoy Xue doesn't have to be like this."

Xue Yao in front of him was dressed in black, and he looked the same as before, except for some reason, there was a color on his forehead, as if he had been injured by some blunt object.The wound was not properly treated, and it looked hideous.

Lin Jinhuan turned a blind eye to Xue Yao's injury, he looked away indifferently, and said: "I used to be really simple-minded, but I was not a fool after all, and there is still something that I don't understand now."

While Xue Yao was at a loss for words, Lin Jinhuan continued: "Besides, what's the meaning of the details, right and wrong, to me."

For a moment, Xue Yao's heart was like a leaking water bag, with wind leaking from all sides, and he was in a mess, but he had nothing to explain, so he stood up and sat down beside Lin Jinhuan.

Xue Yao raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch Lin Jinhuan.The hands paused for a moment in mid-air, and finally put them down.

"I planned and arranged this matter from the beginning to the end." Xue Yao simply broke the jar and said frankly: "Although there is regret in the end, I don't regret it."

Xue Yao stubbornly pursued Lin Jinhuan's eyes, looked straight into his eyes, and said solemnly: "I lied to you, used you, and hurt you. But I never thought of killing you, and I never wanted to kill you." I want your family to be ruined."

Lin Jinhuan sneered, looked back at Xue Yao without any grievances, and said, "Young envoy Xue is now famous, but I am now a prisoner. If you have something to say, you can order it directly, and you don't need to waste your time."

Xue Yao felt tired like never before, but he was willing to give Lin Jinhuan a little more patience.Xue Yao cheered up and said, "The imperial court has already pardoned you, so you don't have to go back to the stone prison. Just to be on the safe side, I have to wrong you to stay by my side for a while, and the stone ring cannot be removed for the time being."

Lin Jinhuan heard the words, and said without sincerity: "The emperor's kindness is really great, and the criminals are grateful."

Xue Yao ignored the sarcasm in Lin Jinhuan's words, and continued: "After the weather calms down, you can leave at any time. From then on, you will be free and happy, but you will never go back to Mount Jialou again."

If you want, I can also accompany you... Xue Yao interrupted his thoughts in time, only thinking it was absurd.Lin Jinhuan already hated himself to the bone at this time, and the sincere invitations he had made in the past have long been beyond count.

"This is the end of the matter. I did everything I did. I'm not justifying myself, and I don't expect you to forgive me. It doesn't matter how much you hate me, I just want you to be well." Xue Yao said, from himself He took out Lin Jinhuan's dagger from his arms and handed it back to him.

"I will give you back today, you can kill me at any time in the days to come, and I will never fight back." He said solemnly to Lin Jinhuan: "I know that my life cannot be exchanged for Mrs. Qin, Senior Lin, Whether you are rare or not, this is the only thing I can do for you."

Lin Jinhuan looked at the ignorance that Xue Yao forced into him in his hand, and thought indifferently: He is still so used to hypocrisy.How could I have been fascinated by him in the past, and I only wanted to be good to him with all my eyes.

Xue Yao saw that Lin Jinhuan was staring at the unknown Wu in his hand without saying a word, so he asked, "Do you want to do it now?"

Lin Jinhuan came back to his senses, he put the dagger into his arms, and said: "I'm just exhausted, I'm not crazy." Lin Jinhuan even showed a smile, and he continued: "If Shao Envoy Xue said something There is a truth, it is in my best interest for me to stay by your side now, isn't it?"

A never-before-seen thought came naturally from the bottom of Lin Jinhuan's heart at this moment, and he thought with some joy: Even if he does nothing now, as long as he waits for the next 15 years, Xue Yao will taste the seeds he planted with his own hands. Bitter fruit.

At that time, the entire land of Kyushu will be buried with Xue Yao, what kind of grand occasion it will be.

Xue Yao didn't notice the change in Lin Jinhuan's mood. He stood up and pretended to be relaxed and said to Lin Jinhuan: "Let Shen Zhaobi take you to take a bath and change clothes, and I'll wait for you to eat."

Lin Jinhuan was still able to say a few words with a gun and a stick when facing Xue Yao.When Xue Yao was not around, he was in a state of isolation from the outside world, neither crying nor laughing, nor speaking.

Shen Zhaobi and Lin Jinhuan also had some friendship, after several times she tried to talk to Lin Jinhuan to no avail, she had to temporarily suppress the words in her heart.Shen Zhaobi took him to wash and change without a word, and then sent him back to the flower hall.

Xue Yao never cared much about food and clothing, but today he was waiting at the round table, and the table was full of Lin Jinhuan's favorite dishes.When Lin Jinhuan came in, he saw Xue Yao's fingers were fiddling with the chopsticks on the table, looking a little absent-minded.

"I'm back." Seeing Lin Jinhuan coming in, Xue Yao put down his chopsticks and said, "Come and sit."

Lin Jinhuan didn't resist at all, he came to the table and sat down, the two of them ate silently facing each other without saying a word.

After the meal, Xue Yao personally sent Lin Jinhuan back to the bedroom. Xue Yao stood outside the door and said to Lin Jinhuan: "I suffered a lot a while ago, so you rest first today. I'm next door. You can come to me if you need anything." Xue Yao paused , and continued: "In special times, try to go out of Qingxintang as little as possible."

Lin Jinhuan said from inside the door: "Master Xue, I am a person under confinement, you can just give me instructions directly, you don't need to bother."

"Okay, I'll just say it straight." Xue Yao tilted his head and thought for a while, then said with a smile: "I order you to think about what is missing for food and clothing tonight, and I will ask someone to prepare it tomorrow."

This smile was so sincere that Lin Jinhuan didn't want to look at it.He closed the door expressionlessly in front of Xue Yao.

Xue Yao stood outside the door for a moment, but finally turned and left.
