Your uncle’s priest, did I fucking provoke you? Ren Zihua looked at the priest who was now admonishing His Majesty to execute him, with astonishment on his face.
Yinyue seemed to be very puzzled after hearing this, and then asked: "Why did the priest say this? Although what he did today did cause serious harm to the royal city, he also made an unintentional mistake. I also plan to Give him a little punishment, but it won't be a capital crime."
"And with his talent and potential for the future of the country, there is no way I can execute him." Seeing that the gloom on the priest's face had not faded, Yinyue said again.
"Your Majesty, since Ren Zihua tried to awaken the power of the stars in the church a few days ago, I have been reading the books left by the ancestors in the church, trying to find out the cause of the vision that appeared on the magic stone of the sky that day."
"What vision?" Upon hearing this, Yinyue asked curiously.
"That day when Ren Zihua tried to awaken the power of the stars, the magic stone in the sky showed an unprecedented state of being like a sky full of stars. The originally dark magic stone suddenly turned white!" As he spoke, the priest's pupils appeared. The fear in him seemed to become more and more intense, "At first I thought it was a malfunction of the magic stone, but then the more I thought about it, the more I became frustrated, so I read countless books to find out the truth, but I found nothing."
At this moment, Ren Zihua was listening even more attentively, thinking, I want to see what words you, an old bastard, can use to put me to death.
"In the end, out of helplessness, I had to read the sacred scriptures passed down from generation to generation since the founding of the church, and only then did I learn the truth about the vision!"
"Divine Book? Are you talking about the Divine Code that came from the sky along with the Demon Stone of Heaven thousands of years ago?"
Yinyue's eyes were no longer calm, and the word "divine scripture" in the priest's mouth seemed to attract his attention.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is the holy book known as the oracle of God. Ever since Yun Moxi built the cathedral, it has been kept by the priests of the past churches. Only the priests of Tangqin Cathedral are qualified. Consult this sacred book and decipher its words."
"What did you see up there?" Yinyue asked quickly, her overly serious expression making Ren Zihua feel inexplicable fear.
"One of the records about the Demonic Stone of Heaven in the Divine Code says this - If you meet someone who can make the Demonic Stone turn white as a whole, it will cause trouble for thousands of years. You should wipe it out immediately to eliminate it. future trouble!"
"Does the priest want to put me to death just based on a sentence in that book of unknown origin?" Ren Zihua immediately retorted, feeling extremely panicked, "Do you think His Majesty will believe in such a superstitious letter? "
"Bold! The words in the divine code have always been the decrees enveloped by emperors of all dynasties. I think our Tang Dynasty has been standing in the world for thousands of years. How many national crises have not been saved by the divine code? How can you, a yellow-tongued kid, be able to slander!"
The priest's solemn retort made Ren Zihua speechless. He had never experienced such a ridiculous thing before and was completely stunned. When he turned his somewhat confused eyes to Emperor Yinyue, he found that The latter's face was also gloomy at the moment.
It’s over. Could it be that I’m really going to be executed like this?
"Let me think twice."
Yinyue, who couldn't hold back a word for a long time, was silent for a long time and said this, while the priest continued to add fuel to the fire: "Why is your Majesty still hesitating? Doesn't it mean you don't believe what the divine scripture says?"
"Didn't yesterday's disaster alert your Majesty? Now he has destroyed the barrier that has protected the academy for so long. Is this really just a so-called unintentional mistake?"
The day he first met the priest, Ren Zihua thought he was a kind-hearted old man, but now the unconcealed murderous intent in the priest's eyes made him completely unable to find the sacred aura that surrounded him that day.
Why on earth did he have to put me to death? Just because of that sentence in some divine book? What's the difference between his menstruation and those of wizards? This kind of guy can actually become a priest?
Just when Ren Zihua was panicking in his heart and anxiously waiting for the emperor's decision, Yinyue finally spoke: "Let's take him to the dungeon first. As for the death penalty, I have to think about it again."
"But Your Majesty——"
"Your Majesty, if you continue to break up, you will suffer chaos!" Ren Zihua was about to say something for himself, but the priest interrupted him quite excitedly.
"Shut up! I have made my own decision. Are you teaching me how to do things?" Yinyue Longyan became angry, and the priest had no choice but to shut up. "Sir, take Ren Zihua to the dungeon immediately and keep him under strict supervision!"
Watching the two tall guards beside the emperor walking towards him, Ren Zihua still couldn't believe that all this was true.
"Your Majesty, you are wronged, Your Majesty!" He finally struggled to say this, but his arms were held by two guard swordsmen.
The left guard immediately activated the space magic stone leading to the dungeon.
Yinyue looked at the three people who disappeared in the blink of an eye, with a lot of helplessness hidden in her frowning eyebrows.
He waved his hand to signal the priest to leave, but soon Xue Lengleng came to the front of the temple again.
"You're finally here. It's up to you and the principal to repair the barrier." Yinyue said this very tiredly, and then closed her eyes, as if she could fall asleep in an instant.
"Your Majesty, Ximen Chuchu, Guan Shanhe and Xu Sanxian have been ordered to arrive near the northwest mountains of Zhongnan Mountain to protect the royal city."
Xue Lengleng explained this, but did not get a reply from Yinyue. In the end, the latter just waved his hand to signal her to leave.
Ren Zihua, who was taken to the dungeon, was obviously not as calm as Zhao Kaifeng before. He opened his eyes hard to catch a glimmer of light in the dark dungeon, but there was no light at all dozens of meters away from the ground, that ghost place. Some are just dead silence.
He was taken by the guards into a room that was completely shrouded in darkness, and then he heard the sound of them locking the door, and then the breath of the two people quickly disappeared into the dungeon.
The panic and uneasiness still surrounded Ren Zihua. Ten minutes passed in a daze, and he still had no intention of finding a place to sit down.
Did that priest deliberately want to frame me, or did he really just believe in that divine scripture?
If he and Emperor Yinyue just believed what the divine code said, then why on earth was that divine code...
As his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, it seemed that he could finally see something, and he finally sat on the rock-hard bed behind him.
However, as soon as he sat down, he screamed and jumped up again, and the dense black insects around the bed were frightened and scattered away.
Ren Zihua, who had been afraid of bugs since he was a child, was now so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
no! I can't sit still and wait for death like this!
But if I escape now, if I am caught again, wouldn’t it be an additional penalty...
Now Yinyue has not said that she will sentence me to death. Maybe, I should wait a little longer?
Just when Ren Zihua's head became a mess, a strange laughter echoed in the already eerie dungeon, which further aggravated his inner uneasiness and panic.
"Who? Is there anyone else here?" He unconsciously raised his voice and asked loudly, but his tone was still a little nervous.
However, he didn't get any answer. Was it just an auditory hallucination?
But just as he was trying to calm down his emotions, the voice appeared again.
"Hey, kid, what did you do to deserve to be locked up in the dungeon on the same floor as me?"
In a room not far from Ren Zihua, a man with terrifyingly long hair, as if he was one with the dark dungeon, slightly shook his thin arms that had been locked in heavy shackles for many years.
In the shadows, an extremely rare smile appeared on his dull face.
"Tell me about it, kid."
