Ye Hongyu was the Great Divine Priest of Judgment. She helped Mo Shanshan to live in seclusion in the depths of Peach Mountain while Mo Shanshan spent these days studying how to break the array in the precipice.
In this process, both of them gained a lot.
Mo Shanshan's mastery of the Great Blockage Formation was getting more and more terrifying. Ye Hongyu, on the other hand, had learned new Taoism skills by observing the Great Blockage Formation. Tonight in the Divine Hall of Judgment, when facing the Hierarch Xiong Chumo's Tianqi, she restrained her breath and turned it into a stone.
There was not enough time. Mo Shanshan could not break the Great Array of Clear Light in the front yard of Peach Mountain. Ye Hongyu could only choose the back of Peach Mountain as the last escape route.
Apart from that, they had prepared many plans for tonight. However, the Abbey Dean's decisiveness was so calm that those better plans were all useless.
Mo Shanshan opened this route more than ten days ago. Last night, she received the news of the Divine Hall of Judgment. She and Ye Hongyu's subordinates started to set up, waited, and succeeded.
There was a saying in the cultivation world that there were three addicts. They were the Tao Addict, the Calligraphy Addict, and the Flower Addict. They were the most talented and beautiful female cultivators. Now, the Flower Addict, Lu Chenjia, was cultivating in the Yuelun Kingdom and no longer cared about worldly affairs. Ye Hongyu became the Great Divine Priest of Judgment and Mo Shanshan became the Queen of the Great River Kingdom.
No one would have thought that these two women, who did not have much contact with each other in their cultivation life, would work together without the world knowing. What's more, they had such a tacit understanding.
Ye Hongyu sent the letter, which was equivalent to handing over her life to the other party. She was a cruel judge. She did not even trust the Academy, but was willing to trust Mo Shanshan. As the Queen, Mo Shanshan did not hesitate to leave her country after receiving the letter and went to the Divine Halls of West-Hill at great risk.
Where did their trust come from? In the future, when this legendary story was spread around the world by the New Stream, people would often ponder over it, but they could not find an answer.
Perhaps only Ning Que knew the answer to this question. Because for many years, he was in the basket under the iron chain, and he was also in front of the White Bone Mountain at the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine. He had seen them fight to the death, and he had seen them go through thick and thin together. He had seen them accompany each other in their youth, and he had seen them … chatting like ordinary girls.
…
…
The fog at the bottom of the abyss was very thick. Although they had all taken the antidote pills specially prepared by the Judicial Department, they still felt a little dizzy, especially the seemingly handsome horses, which were even more exhausted. Therefore, the carriages moved very slowly. What comforted them was that the people sent by the Divine Hall to confirm the situation would also arrive very slowly.
After walking for a long time, a ray of light finally penetrated the fog and fell into the dark forest. But it was unknown whether it was the early morning or the scorching sun in the sky. Mo Shanshan, a Divine Talisman Master with a high state, and the black-robed deacons of the Divine Hall of Judgment who were best at escaping and killing, were in the team.
After Sangsang and Ning Que, the abyss finally welcomed the second group of conquerors.
The wheels rolled over the rotten leaves. The ground was too soft and undulating from time to time. Sitting in the carriage was like sitting on a boat. Some people would feel comfortable, while others would feel a little dizzy.
Mo Shanshan heaved a sigh of relief when Ye Hongyu woke up. She brought the water to her lips and fed it to her. She asked softly, "How do you feel? Do you want to eat something? "
"A little dizzy." Ye Hongyu said with a frown.
She might be hungry, or she might have lost too much blood, or she might be seasick. But she didn't think it was because apart from dizziness, she also felt a little uncomfortable in her chest and abdomen.
The discomfort came from her Taoist Heart and her real heart. Her Taoist Heart suddenly became a little unstable. Her heart suddenly beat faster and the blood in her veins rose and fell like a tide.
Something would definitely happen if she had a sudden impulse.
She lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked into the distance.
The forest was full of fog. The sunlight became very soft and fell on her snow-white face. She looked very beautiful.
However, the soft sunlight was destined to blur the scenery in the distance. Even if she opened her eyes without blinking and wanted to see further, she couldn't do it.
She still looked in that direction quietly. She knew that it was the northeast. She didn't know why, but she knew it was because the Song Kingdom was in the northeast. Ye Su was in the northeast.
The sunlight became softer and softer. It was as if it was no longer moving in a straight line but became something like water. The scene became rippling.
Ye Hongyu looked at the distorted scene in the soft sunlight and carefully analyzed it.
She seemed to see the Zhishou Abbey, the mountain path, the thin lad with a wooden sword on his back, the blue sea and his cold face. Finally, she saw the Verdant Canyon and finally saw his smile. His figure gradually faded away. He was no longer as straight as before, but he became taller and taller.
His figure finally disappeared in the sunlight and could no longer be found.
At this moment, Ye Hongyu knew that her brother had left this world.
She closed her eyes. She didn't fall asleep. She just didn't want to look. Blood flowed from the corner of her mouth again. It was not because of internal injuries, but because of heartbreak. Her face became abnormally white because the soft sunlight had suddenly become cold.
After a while, she opened her eyes again. They were calm and extremely bright. There were no stars in the deepest part of them. There was only the brightest star hanging in the silent night sky.
The blue sea was fake. It was the satin on Mo Shanshan's waist.
Unfortunately, the feeling was real. He had really left.
The star in the deepest part of her eyes suddenly twinkled.
Two extremely thin streams of blood flowed from the corner of her eyes.
She was expressionless. There was no sorrow on her face. She did not cry. She was only bleeding.
However, Mo Shanshan could see the infinite sorrow on her face and the vast ocean in her eyes. Her heart ached and she reached out to hold her hand. She didn't say anything and just held her hand tightly.
…
…
They walked out of the abyss and crossed the Green Mountains. They had long been prepared. With the secret cooperation of the Judicial Department, the carriages were not stopped. Even the West-Hill Divine Palace did not know of their existence.
They walked out of the West-Hill Divine Kingdom and came to the surging river. In front of the famous iron chain, Ye Hongyu looked at it for a while. Then the carriages continued south and entered the Great River Kingdom.
At this time, the news of Ye Su's death had spread all over the world. As the most loyal ally of the Tang Empire, the Great River Kingdom was also in full preparation for war. The absence of the monarch did not affect the judgment of the courtiers. The people on the street all had swords hanging on their waists. They walked among the frost maples with solemn expressions. It really felt like every citizen was a soldier.
Along the way, Ye Hongyu constantly issued orders to the priests and deacons who were still loyal to her in the Divine Hall of Judgment to hide. Peach Mountain would inevitably face a bloody purge. She did not know how many of them would survive, but she had to try her best.
On the stone steps in front of the palace, Mo Shanshan said goodbye to Ye Hongyu. Ye Hongyu would go to the Mogan Mountain Black Ink Garden to recover. At the same time, that place would become the office of the old Divine Hall of Judgment. Although she was still worried about Ye Hongyu's injury, she was the monarch after all. She had a lot of government affairs to deal with. Especially in such a serious situation, she had too much responsibility on her shoulders. She could not stay far away from the power center of the Great River Kingdom.
"I really want to know what you were thinking when you looked at the river in front of the iron chain."
"Liu Bai looked at the river and comprehended the sword. He drew the sword on a piece of paper and sent it to me. I want to see how much difference there is between my sword and the river."
The difference Ye Hongyu was talking about was not the difference in the state of Sword Taoism, but something else.
"What Liu Bai and my brother did is something I have never done before. I have always been indifferent to the faith. Maybe it is also a kind of piety. Or maybe I need to change something."
Mo Shanshan said, "The whole world will change."
Ye Hongyu knew that she was talking about the New Stream. She said, "I will pick up the sword and protect his faith."
From the moment she said that, the New Stream had a new guardian.
When Ye Su founded the New Stream, the first guardian was the Sage of Sword, Liu Bai, and then Liu Yiqing. The Sword Garret played the most important role.
The Academy and the New Stream were inextricably linked. But neither Eldest Brother nor Ning Que could play the role of guardian, because they were non-believers.
Ye Hongyu turned to Mo Shanshan and continued, "I need more help from you."
Mo Shanshan understood what she meant. If the New Stream had the support of a secular country, it would definitely develop faster and its foundation would be more stable.
Just like how the Academy could not play the role of guardian, the Tang Empire could give the New Stream the most direct military support, but they could not let the New Stream occupy the spiritual ruling position in the country.
The Great River Kingdom did not have this problem. Although the people living here were close to the Tang, they were still believers of Haotian. There was no such thing as the South School of Haotian Taoism. Most importantly, she was the monarch.
"That's something I naturally have to do."
Mo Shanshan pushed up her glasses and looked very cute.
Ye Hongyu noticed her cute action and frowned, "Ning Que made it?"
Mo Shanshan was a little embarrassed and explained, "It's for my eyes. It's very useful."
"As long as you don't mistake it as a token of love."
Ye Hongyu mocked, "You went to Peach Mountain to help me because you wanted to help Ning Que. Does he know about this? Even if he does, will he care? "
Mo Shanshan looked at the flower tree in the corner of the Imperial City and said, "That tree blooms by itself. It doesn't need anyone to look at it."
Ye Hongyu sighed, "What an idiotic way of saying that."
Mo Shanshan smiled and said, "He likes to call people idiots. He used to call you an idiot in front of me."
"Can you not relate everything to that shameless and useless guy?"
Ye Hongyu said angrily, "Most women in the world don't know how to love themselves. There are very few that I respect. You are one of them. But if you can't get rid of that weakness, you can only be an ordinary woman."
Mo Shanshan asked curiously, "What weakness?"
"Love, or Ning Que."
Ye Hongyu said, "If you have desires, just find a man to sleep with. Other so-called feelings are all fake. It's so stupid to indulge in those feelings. It's infuriating."
Mo Shanshan said helplessly, "It's not the same thing."
"Even if what you said makes sense, even if love is like honey and you can have a taste, you shouldn't find that useless Ning Que. There are few people as shameless as him, and I've never seen someone as useless as him."
Ye Hongyu made the most negative comment on Ning Que expressionlessly.
In the past, she actually admired Ning Que. Even though he was indeed shameless, at least in some aspects, what he showed was in line with her aesthetics or philosophy. She even thought that he was the same kind of person as herself.
But now, her view had changed a lot. She failed to stop the fire in the courtyard in the capital of the Kingdom of Song because she was actually trapped in the West-Hill Divine Palace. And also because she thought that the Academy could protect Ye Su well. But Ning Que failed. In her view, his incompetence on this matter was infuriating.
"I'm leaving."
"Take care of yourself."
"Will you always stay in the palace?"
"I am the monarch."
"Have you ever thought that if you go to Chang 'an, you might play a bigger role?"
"But I am the monarch … Even though I was forced to become the monarch, I have to be responsible for the people of the Great River. The war has begun. How can I leave?"
Ye Hongyu said nothing more.
She called Chu Youxian and Chenqi over and handed them a letter. She said, "Only Ning Que can read it."
When they left Chang 'an, Chu Youxian and Chenqi were determined to die. It was with this attitude that they performed well in the West-Hill Divine Palace. The beginning of the chaos was their two conversations.
They gradually left the West-Hill and arrived at the Great River Kingdom. Only then did they really believe that they did not need to die. They relaxed a lot, but now they were nervous again, just like when they left Chang 'an.
Chu Youxian felt that the letter in his hand was as heavy as a stone. He did not know what was written in the letter, but from Ye Hongyu's expression, he knew that the content was very important.
He and Chenqi would not stay in the Great River Kingdom. They would continue to move forward and enter the Yuelun Kingdom through the forest at the bend of the river. Finally, they would return to the Tang. It was a long journey, and they felt a little overwhelmed with such a letter.
The carriage to the Tang Empire drove away with the letter. Ye Hongyu was about to get on the carriage when she heard a conversation at the gate of the palace behind them. It was Cat Girl who was talking to Mo Shanshan.
"Since … Haotian is not in the human world, why don't we go to Chang 'an?"
Mo Shanshan did not answer. Ye Hongyu did not know whether it was because she did not have an answer or because of other reasons. Ye Hongyu looked back at Cat Girl and smiled sarcastically. She did not say anything. She stepped into the carriage and ordered her subordinates to drive away.
They went out of the capital and arrived at Mogan Mountain at dusk. The horse carriage traveled on the quiet mountain road. The sunset painted the western sky red. Ye Hongyu lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the bloody twilight. She wondered where the Divine Kingdom was. Were you really there?
