[Ancient Sword II] Morning Light Shadow

The so-called monitoring is naturally not carried out in real time.Shen Xi divides all the tear shadow worms into two groups to monitor day and night, handover at midnight every day, and at the same time number the collected shadow beads according to time and corresponding location, and read the images by herself, Huayue, Yunyu and Congyang respectively. , sorted out without any deletions, and then handed it over to Shen Ye.

As for how to use these things, that's not Shen Xi's business.

Even in Liuyue City, whose total area is less than a prefecture-level city in the later generations, all kinds of messy new and old forces are mixed together, which has already caused Shen Xi, who has not been able to figure out the distribution of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms separatist regimes, quite a headache... She now I especially admire Shen Ye who can fish in troubled waters among all kinds of human spirits and benefit a lot.

Although occasionally complaining about the fact that they are the same parents, the brains of the siblings are so different, but Shen Xi is very convinced that the last laugh must be his brother.

Then she put on a thick cotton robe, followed the winding stone steps outside the Silent Room into the Jumu Forbidden Area, and went to visit Cang Ming who had just woken up.

"It's so cold, why does Xiaoxi come out?"

With a smile on Cangming's face, his voice was as light as a gnat, and he seemed very weak, "If I get sick from the cold, I will be worried."

Shen Xi shook her head: "It's not too cold when it's snowing... My brother is so busy now, if I don't come here, will my sister be bored by herself?"

Seeing Shen Xi mentioning Shen Ye, Cangming's eyes flashed a trace of worry.

His father is seriously ill, and his current situation is indeed not suitable for performing the duties of the city lord. It is not that there have been similar situations in the past, and there are precedents for choosing a suitable spokesperson.

However, the previous spokesperson was just a spokesperson.

From some people's point of view, Shen Ye is not a qualified spokesperson.First of all, he won the trust of the next city lord, Cang Ming; second, he is definitely not the kind of temperament that will be manipulated by others; second, his ability is beyond doubt; last, he has the power of divine blood.

A spokesperson who is obedient, incompetent, easy to handle and has a handle in hand is definitely more suitable to be a mouthpiece than a high priest who is far superior in resourcefulness and force.

Both sides are well aware of this kind of thing, and now there is only one excuse to stir up trouble and suppress the opponent with all their strength.

"Perhaps, the fact that I can't act on my own will become a reason for them to criticize Ah Ye..."

Not maybe, but has become a fact.

Only in the morning did Shen Xi send a shadow bead containing the content of accusing Shen Ye of "attempting to correct the city lord's will to realize his ambition" to the named party.

Even if Shen Xi doesn't say these things, Cang Ming understands them in his heart.

"Xiaoxi, I will persuade my father to release the secret contract." All Cangming's thoughts and positions are contained in a short sentence, "Aye and I don't need a secret contract either."

In the book about the history of Liuyue City that Shen Xi had read, it mentioned a secret contract handed down from the generation of the city lord's great-grandfather. People will soon wither and die...

Shen Xi estimated that the birth of the secret contract system may have something to do with the "rebellious common man" in Congyang's mouth.

In response to this promise, she put her right hand over her heart and bowed.

However, before Cangming raised this matter, Shen Xi did not expect at all that her father's authority was so great that even the city lord had to be careful.

The Shen family is not a big clan with head and face, and the population is withered. Compared with those who come from a prosperous clan, who have enjoyed the best resources since birth, and can naturally enter the power class, they are ordinary people through and through.Shen Ji's journey from entering the temple to emerging and finally sitting on the position of high priest can definitely write an inspiring history of struggle.

With such a background, if there is no clear-cut support from Cangming, the dilemma faced by the Shen family father and son is definitely not the verbal suppression on the surface and the assassination and sneak attack in the dark, but a direct accusation full of loopholes and then the clan's execution.

Shen Xi once again clearly realized the importance of having a strong backing.

In Liuyue City's thousands of years of history, there was only one situation where there was a curfew, and the city lord Xingjia.After Shen Ji presided over the funeral of the old city lord, Shen Ji was bedridden not long after returning to the temple.

According to Cangming's plan, before the death of the old city lord and before Shen Ye established his prestige, the high priest Shen Ji, who had already lifted the secret contract, supported Shen Ye as Shen Ye's father, and his prestige could calm down the scene for many years and serve Shen Ye well. A lot less stress at night.

However, she did not expect that when the secret contract was released, Shen Ji's physical condition had been damaged to the point of being incurable, and now he could only last a little longer than the old city lord.

At this moment, neither Shen Ye nor Shen Xi has time to show filial piety for his father - even if he goes there, he will be kicked out by Shen Ji smashing his staff, and the elder brother is busy receiving the contacts left by Shen Ji and guarding important places , when the younger sister took out the posture of hanging beams and thorns to light up the night to fight the surveillance network, all the trustworthy people were instructed by the brothers and sisters to go around, and the huge temple was very busy.

Shen Ye looked at the two shadow beads that were motionless in the palm of his hand. They were sent by Shen Xi, and they were all related to Yigao and the others plotting to make trouble. However, the time was slightly different. It was halfway through the ceremony.

No matter what time it is, there is a major premise, that is, Shen Ji is no longer the high priest, otherwise the succession ceremony cannot be held.

For the first time since entering Jumu Core, Shen Ye strongly hoped that his father could live longer.With the full support of Cangming behind him, he is not in a hurry, the more stable he sits, the more chaotic Yigao and others will be.

And another question... His eyes slowly turned to Congyang, who was newly promoted as a priest of Tianfu.Yigao deliberately failed to win over Congyang, and also instigated against the subordinates who were supposed to obey her. From this point of view, she should not advance or retreat with Yigao and others.However, there is no absolute, or, she deliberately let this situation go, and wanted to take this opportunity to attack Yigao...?

No matter whether Congyang has a different intention or not, Shen Ye does not intend to let her participate in this matter.If there is dissent, it is very convenient to use this matter to eliminate dissidents. If there is no dissent, letting her kill her former subordinates will damage her reputation.

While thinking about it, Yanjianiao sent a new shadow bead.

Seeing in the video that Shen Xi said that Congyang didn't have the brain and mind to play with moths secretly, Shen Ye couldn't help but cast a sympathetic glance at the priest of Tianfu.

As time went by, the high priest's party became more and more stable, and Yigao and others were ready to move. Just when they couldn't hold back their plans to attack the high priest who had just woken up from a serious illness, the bell in Ziwei Palace, which had been silent for several days, suddenly rang, announcing that The high priest Shen Ji died.

After inspecting the corpse, a trace of unbearableness flashed in Cong Yang's eyes, he lowered his voice, and said to Shen Ye: "...It's self-destruction."

The new Ziwei priest silently glanced at his sister who buried her face in Huayue's arms, closed her eyes, and announced that the succession ceremony would be held in three days.

The big square in front of the temple was under martial law one day earlier, and Shen Ye and other priests, big and small, had to burn incense and bathe half an hour before the ceremony officially started, and enter the venue three quarters earlier.The square will only allow spectators to enter the square after the new high priest of Ziwei leads the recitation of prayers and offers sacrifices consisting of grains, fruits and vegetables, and aged wine to the statue of Shennong on the square.

Although she was the daughter of the former high priest and the younger sister of the new high priest, Shen Xi did not hold any position in the temple. During the succession ceremony, she was only three rows ahead of the ordinary people, which was barely close to the edge of the square.

The further back the viewing position is, the later the time to enter the square will be. When Shen Ye was offering sacrifices, Shen Xi had just dressed up and was about to go out from the side door of the temple, and then enter the ceremony site from the front entrance of the square. To go around a lot.

Yun Yu, who had been following Shen Xi's side for half a step, suddenly stepped forward, holding the staff tightly to protect Shen Xi.

"Who dares to spy on the temple? Come out!"

Although Shen Xi has not practiced magic and martial arts, the Gu worms in his body are very sensitive, and at the same time, he noticed the abnormalities around him.With the cover of Yun Qu's body, she picked up the insect flute.
