Zhenyang Mountain.
Sword Tomb Peak.
Different from the lush forests of other five peaks, there are no trees on Jianzhong Peak. There is only a stone step road going up from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
There are thousands of steps on this staircase, and no one would ever set foot on it.
Because this stone step leading directly to the top of the mountain is called "On Sin Step".
If a disciple violates the sect's rules and commits a serious crime, he must walk up the stone steps to the sword tomb platform on the top of the mountain and accept the sect's punishment.
Speaking of which, no one has walked through this stone staircase for decades.
But today, both sides of the crime class were filled with Zhenyang Sect disciples.
Everyone is waiting for the third senior sister from Xiyue Peak to walk up the stone steps.
"It's a pity. Si Minglan is a beauty who is on the beauty list. Is she going to die?"
"Nonsense, Third Senior Sister must be innocent!"
"The Six Summits have gone on trial. This is a big scene we haven't seen in many years. I think Si Minglan is probably guilty."
"So what? A mortal dynasty in the Western Dynasty dares to interfere in our Zhenyang Sect's affairs. So what if their eldest prince is killed?"
"Shh, keep your voice down! Don't you know that behind the Western Dynasty is Feixian Pavilion? That is where Queen Lin Yuan of the West came from."
"Hey, why didn't you see that Princess?"
"coming!"
The disciples of the Zhenyang Sect were discussing. Someone exclaimed and saw several flying figures with swords appearing in the sky. They were the peak masters and commanding disciples of the six peaks.
They flew up to the Sword Tomb Platform at the top of Sword Tomb Peak. This high platform was specially set up to deal with disciples who violated the sect rules.
Today's Six Summit Trial will also be held on the Sword Tomb Platform.
Then, a graceful and dignified figure slowly flew over, and exclamations suddenly sounded from below.
What she stepped on was not a flying sword, but a white silk satin. The silk satin was fluttering in the air, but the woman stepped on it as steady as a mountain. Her figure was plump and graceful, full of the charm of a mature woman.
"Is this Queen West?"
"It's true that the moon is ashamed of the flowers, and the fish and the geese fall away!"
"Don't act like you haven't seen the world before. Master Xiyue Peak and Senior Sister Wei Wan are both higher on the beauty list than her!"
"But the charm of this mature woman is really irresistible!"
Amidst the astonishing sounds, Lin Yuan stepped on the white silk and slowly landed on the sword tomb platform like a goddess descending to earth.
The six peak masters stepped forward to greet her.
Zheng Shengmo, Wei Shouyuan and Shi Shuhong were the most enthusiastic and kept praising Lin Yuan's beauty.
Leng Jing, the master of Jianzhong Peak who was responsible for the punishment within the sect, had a long and thin face. He held an iron ruler in his hand with an expressionless face as he stepped forward and slightly arched his hand towards Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan smiled gently: "I've heard for a long time that Leng Feng is in charge of uprightness. I believe that today the truth will be revealed to the world."
Leng Jing's voice remained calm: "If Si Minglan is guilty, I will definitely not show favoritism."
"That puts me at ease." Lin Yuan nodded, and Ye Xiyue also stepped forward to greet her. Lin Yuan looked her up and down and praised:
"Master Ye Feng has a peerless beauty and is worthy of being a fairy in this world."
Jian Yue's expression was cold: "The Queen of the West is graceful and dignified, and the fairy aura of Feixian Pavilion is lingering. Her reputation is well-deserved."
Lin Yuan was still gentle: "Master Ye is joking, I have left Feixian Pavilion long ago, and now I am just a mother who wants to seek justice for her children."
"Queen West is also joking. The eldest prince is the son of the deceased Concubine Li, not your child."
Tantai Mingyue stepped forward with a gentle smile, but there was a sharp flash in her eyes, which was completely different from the quiet and dignified she usually was.
Lin Yuan also looked at Tantai Mingyue. One of the two women was graceful, the other gentle, but there seemed to be countless spiritual powers colliding between them, causing sparks to fly.
Under the stage of Jianzhong were the inner disciples from various peaks, and they were dumbfounded when they saw this.
Everyone knows that Tantai Peak Master is gentle and gentle, and never quarrels with others. What happened today?
Why do you look like you are going to fight with Queen West?
A few deacon disciples who knew the inside story explained to others in a low voice:
"Actually, Uncle Tantai and Queen Xi were originally a pair of like-minded sisters. The current Western Emperor Wu Zheng was only the third prince at first, not the crown prince. At that time, Uncle Tantai and Uncle Sangyue went to the Western Dynasty on the orders of their master. , prepare to ensure that the prince successfully ascends to the throne."
"At that time, Lin Yuan had just left Feixian Pavilion and hit it off with Uncle Tantai. Their love was like a golden orchid. Lin Yuan agreed to work with Uncle Tantai to help the crown prince ascend the throne."
"But who knew that Lin Yuan suddenly married the third prince Wu Zheng, and even helped Wu Zheng kill the prince!"
"In the end, Wu Zheng ascended the throne and became the emperor. Uncle Tantai failed to complete the tasks assigned by the master. After returning to the clan, he asked for punishment and spent three years facing the wall at Jianzhong Peak to reflect on himself."
Everyone around was stunned when they heard this. No one could have imagined that Tantai Mingyue and the Queen of the West, Lin Yuan, would have such a past. Some people were puzzled:
"Even so, it's just two people's different concepts, right?"
"Yes, after all, whoever becomes the emperor of the Western Dynasty does not make much difference to our Zhenyang Sect. It is impossible that the third prince will fight with us if he becomes the emperor, right?"
The senior Bagua disciple whispered: "There is another secret about this matter. It is said that Uncle Tantai and the Crown Prince were about to become Taoist couples!"
Wow!
The melon was so big that all the disciples who ate it were dumbfounded and looked at Tantai Mingyue and Lin Yuan who were looking at each other coldly on the sword tomb.
It turns out that Tantai Mingyue, who was as calm as water, actually had a man she fell in love with back then.
And this Queen West is actually Uncle Tantai’s husband-killing enemy!
No wonder the two of them couldn't deal with each other so well.
At this time, after hearing Tantai Mingyue's words, Lin Yuan said calmly:
"Fellow Taoist Tantai, what you said is wrong. Since I am the queen, all the princes are my children. Naturally, I want to seek justice for the children who died in vain."
Tantai Mingyue was equally calm: "Fellow Daoist Lin, what you said is wrong. Everyone knows that the eldest prince has done all kinds of evil. How can he say that he died in vain?"
A light flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes: "So, the death of the eldest prince was intentional by the Zhenyang Sect?"
Tantai Mingyue smiled indifferently: "As expected of the man who killed his brother and came to power, he wants to sow discord between the Zhenyang Sect and the Western Dynasty."
Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Mingyue, you still can't let go of what happened back then."
Tantai Mingyue's voice turned cold: "Lin Yuan, the days are long and the cause and effect will eventually be rewarded."
At this time Zheng Shengmo said: "Junior sister Tantai, before the head retreats, I have asked you to temporarily take over the position of head. You should focus on important matters."
Tantai Mingyue was silent for a moment, no longer confronting Lin Yuan, and said to Leng Jing, who was in charge of the review of the Six Summits:
"Let Si Minglan take the criminal stage."
Leng Jing nodded, and soon, at the foot of the mountain, several disciples from Jianzhong Peak escorted a woman with disheveled hair to the judgment stage.
Suddenly, there was a burst of incredible exclamations from around.
"This, this person is Si Minglan?"
"Oh my God, is this the third senior sister of Xiyue Peak? A fairy who is ranked among the most beautiful women?"
"What happened to her to become like this?"
