Lin Mengya gasped when she heard this.
"If that's the case, doesn't it bode ill for Master?"
This was the reason why Long Tianhao had to take the risk.
The seemingly powerful Lord of the Divine Temple was someone that even the highest ruler of the Wei Kingdom had to show respect to. However, when faced with an even stronger opponent, he was still so weak that it made people shudder in fear.
"What are you going to do?"
She knew that no matter what she said, Yu would insist on it.
She might as well play along with him this time. After all, this was not the first time.
Long Tianhao had been thinking about this problem for a few days.
He could not alert the enemy, and he had to safely rescue Master. The only thing he could do now was to wait for the right time.
"I'm thinking of taking action on the day of the inheritance of the Divine Temple."
Lin Mengya was speechless.
Her husband was indeed extraordinary. Even if he wanted to poke a hornet's nest, he had to pick a big one.
"Although there are many people on that day, there will be more people patrolling. Perhaps, they want to take this opportunity to wait for you to fall into their trap. "
Long Tianhao was aware of this.
The other party had already searched everywhere in Immortal City and had set up a curfew at the city gates, but to no avail. They must have known that he would take action on the day of the celebration.
They would also take a series of measures against him.
If he took action then, the chances and risks would increase.
But if he did not take action, how would he know if he would succeed or not?
He still had the ability to protect himself now. At most, he would bring his Master to fight his way out.
In fact, Long Tianhao had already thought of a way out, but that was a last resort.
Moreover, he did not want to reveal all his power for the time being.
Lin Mengya understood his thoughts. Both she and Yu were in the midst of preparing for many things. It would be the stupidest choice to fight head-on.
"We'll cross the bridge when we come to it. Moreover, we don't have to take things so seriously. I think that although those forces control the Divine Temple, they will not easily interfere with the internal affairs of the Divine Temple. Just think about it, they did not show up for the serious incident last time. "
Compared to Long Tianhao, she was more meticulous.
On the way here, Lin Mengya had thoroughly thought about this matter from the beginning to the end.
"My wife is really resourceful." Long Tianhao said with a smile. No matter what, with her around, he was no longer alone.
"Behave yourself." Lin Mengya rolled her eyes at him and then shared the delicacies on the table with him.
"By the way, have you figured out what happened here?"
Only then did Long Tianhao tell her the news he had found out in an unhurried manner.
This guest house was indeed not simple.
It was rumored that it might be the burial ground of a certain Temple Lord.
Because of the uniqueness of the Temple Lord, his whereabouts had to be kept a secret regardless of whether he was alive or dead.
As a result, the death of every Sacred Hall Master was only known to them and the next Hall Master.
But for some unknown reason, this place was actually leaked.
Furthermore, there were also rumors spreading in the dark that the Temple Master was favored by the 'God' and had a unique grace from the God. The person who obtained it might be able to become a favored child of God just like him.
It was because of this that those with ill intentions were provoked.
People were scrambling to dig here.
"There are actually people who believe such nonsense?"
Lin Mengya found it unbelievable.
Anyone with the slightest bit of intelligence would doubt the authenticity of this matter, right?
Long Tianhao thought so too, so he didn't take it seriously.
"Why did the sheriff believe it too?"
In fact, the sheriff was the most surprising thing to her.
From the beginning to the end, he looked like an outsider.
Who would have thought that they were all tricked by him.
But at the mention of this person, Long Tianhao's expression was a little subtle.
"He is actually an old acquaintance of mine. This time, I was in the prison, so I could avoid the search. But I did not expect him to be such a person. "
Lin Mengya suddenly stared at Long Tianhao. The latter was thick-skinned and calm.
On the surface, there seemed to be no problem.
But she just felt that this guy was definitely hiding something.
"Those who don't tell the truth, go sleep on the street tonight!"
Suddenly, Long Tianhao's expression changed.
He protested to his wife in a low voice unwillingly, "Can I sleep on the bench? It's a little cold on the street. "
"What do you think?"
Lin Mengya said with a fake smile. In the end, Long Tianhao had to surrender and said, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you."
But he did not say it directly, but turned over and went out of her room.
After a long while, when she felt sleepy and yawned twice, that person came back again, and this time, he brought another person back.
"Greetings, Madam."
Lin Mengya couldn't help but sigh when she saw that the sheriff, who was sinister and perverted in the daytime, was respectful and modest at night. If a man were to compete with acting skills, two faces were nothing. A thousand faces were the most amazing.
She nodded cautiously to the sheriff, and then Long Tianhao said, "His name is Gu Cheng, a disciple of my master."
Gu Cheng immediately shook his head and said, "I just took advantage of Your Highness. I can't be regarded as a disciple of the lord."
It turned out that Gu Cheng, like Ling Ye, had been trained as a substitute for Long Tianhao since he was a child.
But because of Ling Ye's appearance, he became Long Tianhao's "shadow".
In other words, he was a substitute, who had to imitate the master's every move at any time and anywhere.
Speaking of those days, even Lin Mengya felt sorry for him.
Without his own life, she didn't know how the guy endured it.
Compared with him, Gu Cheng's situation was much better.
He was kept as a substitute for Long Tianhao in Wei State. To the outside world, he was just a servant of Long Tianhao.
So over the years, in the Holy Hall, he was the master and the servant was also him.
One person played two roles and did not make any trouble. He must be a genius.
After the explanation, she suddenly understood.
She knew it. Why did he look like he was suffering from schizophrenia? After all, it was all because of his life.
"What the hell is going on? Didn't you say that these people were going to be sacrifices? Is it all a lie? "
Gu Cheng looked at Long Tianhao in silence, and the latter also nodded to him gently. Then he explained, "The sacrifice is true, but we have to let him die.
It's not me who died, but a dignitary in the Holy Hall. "
How did it have anything to do with the Holy Hall?
She looked at Long Tianhao in confusion, and the latter explained to her.
"Since Gu Cheng was appointed as the sheriff, he has concealed his true identity. Regarding this matter, only Master and I are clear about it. Over the years, apart from normal contact, Master and I have never had any personal relationship with him, so those people dare to instigate him to do these things. "
She nodded, and finally understood why Yu could come and go without any pressure.
After explaining to her, Gu Cheng left.
As for the rest, Long Tianhao could explain it to them himself.
"The Sacred City is far from that simple. Gu Cheng has been the sheriff for so many years, but he only knows that something was left when it was built. Master and I wanted to find it slowly. At least not fall into the hands of those with evil intentions. But we didn't expect that they acted faster than us. "
Based on Yu's explanation, she finally understood that the so-called sacrificial offering was actually a killing tactic used by the dignitary hidden in the Divine Temple.
He first released the news to attract people who were interested in this thing, and then used some means to instigate them to kill each other.
Finally, he asked Gu Cheng to execute the rest in the name of the sheriff, so that there would be no future trouble.
"But in this way, won't those people find out that this is a trap?"
Lin Mengya was curious.
If everyone came to search for treasures, and if they all died, then this matter would not be as simple as it seemed.
No matter how stupid the people outside were, they should have found some clues.
It was impossible for them to come here to die.
Unexpectedly, Long Tianhao said, "Each of them had their own reasons for dying. Furthermore, no one here died for no reason. "
Lin Mengya was stunned, and Long Tianhao continued, "The reason why they died was that their companions were greedy. Thus, even if someone sensed it, they wouldn't know who was behind it. This was their purpose, to let those who came for the secret treasure kill each other. "
Traces of coldness seeped through the cracks in her bones and spread to her limbs and bones.
Lin Mengya couldn't help shivering and said incredulously, "Then what's his purpose?"
Long Tianhao held her in his arms and said, "Since it's a secret treasure, the way to open it will not be simple. Gu Cheng tried for several years according to that person's hint, but he failed. So that person thought that maybe someone would know the way to open this secret treasure. Therefore, he released the news and even deliberately mystified it to make this place a target for everyone to flock to. When people arrived, he found that they didn't know how to open the secret treasure, so he played tricks to make people kill each other. Then he attracted the next group of people. "
"Then why am I here?"
In any case, she was an innocent person.
What's more, she didn't know anything about the damn secret treasure. How did she get involved?
"Maybe it's because you came at the right time."
Long Tianhao said helplessly, "When you entered the city, did you also meet someone deliberately sneaking into your team? They were sent by the dignitary to monitor these caravans. I heard from Gu Cheng that you had a conflict with a small spice merchant. The other party's associate even accused you of murder on purpose. I think it's because of this that they think you're related to the treasure hunters. That's why they ended up like this. "
Lin Mengya's face darkened. What the hell was this logic?
But she had to admit that according to Long Tianhao's words, it was inevitable that she would be suspected.
