Bulwark of Light

Chapter 1055 Who agrees and who disagrees?
"Inside the church, there is actually a strong man in charge of the origin?"

A strange light flashed in Meng Xizhou's eyes.

In her cognition, the most extraordinary person in Xizhou these years should be the holy prefect Jia Wei.

There are also a few very old retired elders in the temple on Sunset Mountain. These people are all high-ranking church leaders who fought for Xizhou. They have contributed to the Beizhou War, and they should have title-level combat power... It's just a distance There is too much difference in contacting the source.

"There is one."

The old man in the wooden house laughed softly: "It's not considered a member of the church, but...if he needs to take action, he will do so."

Meng Xizhou fell into deep thought.

Not counting people in the church?
Although Meng Xizhou is still young, she knows that time has been pushed back to 30 years ago. Guangming City once shed blessings and helped many extraordinary geniuses for free. Back then, the God of Light was still at the end of its peak, and often personally pointed out those talented young people. genius.

The most famous of them is Gu Changzhi.

In addition to Gu Changzhi... Actually, there is also a very famous big shot who has studied in Guangming City.

"Rustbone?"

Meng Xizhou tentatively pronounced the name.

"..."

The old man in the wooden house did not respond positively, he comforted softly: "In short, you don't need to worry about this matter."

"You came just in time this time."

The God of Light paused for a moment, and said slowly: "I have a question."

"Question? Ask me?"

Meng Xizhou was startled.

"A grand, but realistic question..."

A low voice came from the wooden house: "In my heart, you are the first successor to the fire seed. It's just that I have been thinking these days, if you really hand over the temple to you, you can be absolutely rational Is it?"

Meng Xizhou was a little confused.

hum!
Suddenly, there was a vibration from the light barrier covering the wooden house, and a mighty beam of light broke out from the side of Meng Xizhou. This beam of light was composed of nearly one hundred thousand strands of subtle light.

This time, Meng Xizhou saw clearly.

These pure lights seem to be mixed together, but each strand is very independent.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is a beam of light.

But in her eyes, she can clearly distinguish the difference between every subtle brilliance in the beam of light.

"If...every ray of light here is a person."

"Then you are in charge of the light fire and the temple, which means you are in charge of the lives of these people."

The voice of the God of Light became coercive: "If one day, you need to give up the lives of a small number of people in order to keep the majority, what will you do?"

Tens of thousands of shimmering lights flicker and intertwine.

Meng Xizhou looked at the beam of light in front of her. She saw the changes in the "small part" of the shimmering light. A ray of impurities filled it. If it is not removed as soon as possible, then these impurities will spread. These shimmering lights are no longer pure...

"His!"

Without hesitation, she put her two fingers together, aimed at the beam of light in front of her and slashed down.

Because it is born close to the light.

She could clearly see every ray of light in the beam of light, so the position of cutting off was extremely precise, and those gleams contaminated with impurities were chopped into pieces in an instant.

A part of the beam of light was cut off.

The air is filled with black ashes and the smell of charcoal.

"I see what you mean."

Meng Xizhou said calmly: "For me, this problem is not a problem...I have always believed that if you want to save the majority, you are doomed to sacrifice a few."

"Ah……"

Satisfied laughter came from the cabin.

……

……

When Meng Xizhou left the Red Lake, it was already dark. Today's Guangming City is used to welcoming the long night when the old sun sets and the new sun does not rise.

The surface of the lake is a little cold.

The small courtyard outside the temple was crowded with "big men".

Batu gathered the senior elders at the elders' table, as well as the reserve elders transferred from various counties and cities in Xizhou, to one place.

These people wait from evening hours until sunset.

Although the waiting time is not long.

However, impatience has already appeared in the eyes of some people... On the night of the Red Lake, the Great Elder of Guangming City, Gao Zhi, and the Holy Inquisitor Jia Wei died, and Meng Xizhou was in charge of the temple. It seemed that everything was logical and as it should be, but at that time the elder Several elders in Xi were out on missions, and when they returned to Guangming City, they found that everything had changed.

It's hard to accept.

But they have to accept it.

The only thing that makes people feel lucky is that Xihaidu is still there.

Although the Goddess of Light made drastic reforms to the temple, she did not touch the power limit of Xihaidu at that time.

It's just that the good times don't last long...

The promulgation of the ban not long ago meant that this goddess was not satisfied with just being in charge of the temple.

Through Batu's message, they basically guessed that the Goddess summoned everyone here today just for the "West Sea Crossing".

"Squeak."

The door of the courtyard was gently blown open by the wind.

The elders who had been waiting for a long time, as well as the candidates for the elder seat, raised their heads and looked in the direction of the mansion door.

The rays of light in the dark night converged and intertwined, making them extremely eye-catching.

"Everyone, wait a long time."

With her hands behind her back and her long skirt fluttering in the wind, Meng Xizhou slowly stepped into the small courtyard and looked around at the same time. Apart from Batu and the eleven candidates for the elders of the temple, there were five elders in the small courtyard.

Today's Xihaidu is divided and controlled by these five people.

"Master Goddess, what is the purpose of summoning us today?"

The one who spoke was Russo, the fifth-ranked elder in the temple.

Now in the small courtyard, everyone is vaguely divided into two factions, one part is those candidates for the elder seat who have not yet finalized the list... Most of these people came from various counties under the recruitment order of Meng Xizhou. Before the Honghu Incident, they had cooperated with the Meng family for a long time, and in a sense, they were the confidantes of Meng Xizhou's cultivation.

Now Guangming City is in short supply of manpower.

So Meng Xizhou transferred them here... The only regret is that the strength of these candidates is a bit weak.

Another call.

It is the official elder who has lived in the temple for a long time.

"Everyone should know what I'm going to do."

Meng Xizhou smiled and came under the banyan tree in the courtyard.

This mansion was deliberately chosen by Batu... Gu Nanfeng lived in this small courtyard back then.

She sat down with her skirt up, and said with a smile: "Who is in favor of Xihaidu's ban, and who is against it?"

There was silence in the small courtyard.

Everyone looked at each other.

Even those candidates for the elders seat who followed Meng Xizhou's recruitment did not expect that the goddess's style of acting is so direct, decisive, and ruthless.

The turmoil of the ban on crossing the West Sea has been surging underground in Guangming City during this period of time.

Call everyone today.

They also thought that the Goddess would solve the problem in a gentle way.

but……

Why did you ask directly?

This is what to do, this is to put the problem on the table!
"I object."

Lu Suo, the Fifth Elder who greeted Meng Xizhou with a smile before, the smile on his face had disappeared at this moment, and he looked at the young woman in front of him expressionlessly.

Russo is a staunch supporter of Gao Yuan.

At the same time, he was also the behind-the-scenes supporter who put Meng Xizhou into the secret prison.

After the Honghu Incident, Meng Xizhou had too many things to do. She didn't deal with those people who had defected to Gaozheng... If all these people were killed, there would be no one to use in Guangming City, so she gave This gave the elders of the temple a buffer and time to think.

Today, the time has come.

"You object?"

Meng Xizhou stared at the five elders of the temple.

"The significance of Xihaidu's existence is to spread the faith of Guangming City to every corner of the world."

Russo asked word by word: "Propagating teachings is a clear law encouraged by Lord Guangming. Do you want to oppose Lord God when you issue a ban?"

"I just met Lord God."

Meng Xizhou said lightly: "He supports all my decisions."

Russo smiled: "If that's the case, let the lord of the throne issue an order, and we will cooperate unconditionally."

Meng Xizhou lowered his eyes and smiled silently.

Decree...

Of course not.

In the conversation on the other side of the Red Lake, the meaning expressed by the God of Light is very clear. Regarding the chaos in the temple, he unconditionally supports Meng Xizhou, but the specific details need to be settled by Meng Xizhou himself. If even such a small matter cannot be dealt with , then how is she qualified to be the successor of the Bright Tinder?
"There is no decree. From today on, every word I say represents the will of the God of Light."

Meng Xizhou raised his head and spoke calmly.

Needle drop can be heard quietly in the small courtyard.

Russo smiled again and asked, "Why?"

The voice fell.

Meng Xizhou stretched out two fingers and tapped lightly on the man opposite the small courtyard.

The night was instantly torn apart by the streamer, countless streamer fireflies rose from the ground, thousands of branches and leaves of the banyan tree, billions of debris of the grass, all turned into light at this moment.

And these lights turned into swords.

In an instant.

The entire small courtyard was engulfed by overwhelming blazing light, and the elders and candidates all exclaimed.

In their cognition, Meng Xizhou is just a goddess who has been favored by the gods and then locked in a secret prison for six full years.

Put it nicely, Goddess.

To put it bluntly... trapped in a secret prison for six years, even a genius would become a cripple.

But such a useless person, if he shoots at will, it will be two superimposed Dacheng Domains. This kind of terrifying lethality is simply not what Tier [-] can emit!

"His!"

The crisp sound of tearing paper and silk resounded in the long night.

Facing the endless holy light, Russo only had time to raise his arms to block, and he also summoned his title domain...

Unfortunately.

This majestic holy light merged into a sword, smashing his domain directly, and then hundreds of lightsabers penetrated his body.

Finally, Meng Xizhou waved his sleeves.

This mighty glow dissipated in the small courtyard.

Russo kept standing with his arms folded, and blood began to ooze from the center of his eyebrows, seven orifices, and everywhere in his skin.

He stared blankly at the gentle woman shrouded in soft light in front of him, his eyes filled with disbelief.

There were no twists and turns in Meng Xizhou's eyes.

It seemed that killing an elder was just an insignificant matter, not worthy of her second glance, nor worthy of her pity.

The wind blows across the courtyard, and the grass clippings are blown with the wind.

The figure standing stiffly in the wind fell heavily, and the pool of blood spread and flowed all over the ground, and finally gathered at Meng Xizhou's feet. She didn't lower her head, and strands of light condensed into a barrier to isolate the blood.

"Everyone, you might as well say it clearly. A few days ago, I asked you to stop the transfer of shadows from Xihaidu to the outside world. After a while, I will thoroughly investigate the shadow spies in Guangming City."

Meng Xizhou said calmly: "I want this Bright City to restore its former clarity and tranquility, and I also want every church member to live under the sun."

"You, who is in favor and who is against?"
