moonlit night

After leaving the study, it was clear outside, but Li Yuan's mood at the moment was more gloomy than the thunderstorm just now.

Fortunately, he was still worried that Lin'an would be trapped by the tribulation of love. Now it seems that if there is any little goblin who dares to provoke Yu Qingjun, there must be no return.

Thinking of Lin'an's last words, Li Yuan felt like being cheated and deceived, as if he had become a plaything that someone could come and go as soon as he wanted it.Especially at the beginning, I tried to deceive the other party,

He even took pity on the big-tailed wolf as a little white rabbit.Thinking about it now, it's really stupid!

But at the same time, those two real kisses made Li Yuan upset.For a moment, he didn't know how to deal with himself, let alone how to face Lin'an.I just want to leave it at that,

Find a place to hide and get really drunk.

So as soon as Lin'an issued the order to evict the guests, he simply got up and walked away with a cold face without saying a word.

Zhao Ya had been standing outside the study for a long time, the more quiet it was inside, the more his heart sank.Li Yuan did something wrong with the god, if the god didn't want to, there should have been fighting sounds inside, and it shouldn't have been silent until now.

It couldn't be that the devil was so weak that he didn't even have time to resist, so he was beaten to death, right?

If the gods are not forced, but willing, then after so long, they are inside...

Zhao Ya had mixed feelings in his heart, suddenly he didn't know whether to hope for some movement or keep quiet.At this moment, Li Yuan hurriedly came out from the inside, and when he passed by him, he didn't even stop a step, as if he was in a trance, he didn't see anyone standing here at all.

Li Yuan quickly walked away, this time Zhao Ya could see clearly that he had indeed stepped out of the gate of Taishi Hall and never turned back.

Seeing that his clothes are still neat, and there is a hint of resentment on his face, it really doesn't look like the behavior he should have after winning, but he has no injuries on his body, but it doesn't look like he has fought against a god.

During a thunderstorm, what happened inside?

Zhao Ya couldn't figure it out, but the more he couldn't figure it out, the more he recalled the scene of Li Yuan kissing the god over and over again.The more I thought about it, the more my hands trembled uncontrollably, and I wished I could rush forward and hack that demon to death with his sword.

Since his ascension, he has suffered from the collapse of his faith, but he has only glimpsed a glimmer of light in Yu Qingjun.He is willing to go through fire and water for the god, but how can he tolerate the supreme god in his heart being lured by a demon clan and falling into the abyss?

But as soon as Zhaoya took a step towards the gate of the palace, he saw a fairy coming towards the Taishi Palace from the opposite direction, his steps were extremely fast, and he was approaching in a blink of an eye.

He is the priest of Xuanxiao Palace.

It finally came.

The priest and Zhao Ya looked at each other coldly, and said loudly on purpose: "I have something important to report to the god, please let me know."

The voice from the study was still indifferent: "No need to report, come in."

The priest glanced at Zhao Ya provocatively, but Zhao Ya ignored him, imitating Lin An's tone, and said coldly: "Please."

It seemed that he didn't know that what the visitor wanted to report was that he had falsely conveyed the god's decree, which caused the emperor to be poisoned.

Not long after, the fairy withdrew respectfully from the study, heaved a long sigh of relief, it was obvious that he had the chance to win.Seeing Zhaoya still waiting outside the door, the immortal's eyes were full of mockery, he waved his hands and walked away.

"Come in."

Zhaoya followed her advice and entered the study.With his back turned to him, Lin An was staring at a piece of broken porcelain on the table, and asked:

"When did you come?"

Ever since seeing that piece of broken porcelain, Zhaoya's heart felt like falling into an ice cave.He thought it was all cleaned up, but he never thought that there was a piece left in a corner somewhere, and it was discovered by the deity after all.

"During the thunder punishment, the lower official wanted to bring some tea to the god, but I bumped into it by accident." He said earnestly, "God, that devil acted so rebelliously, why don't you ask the lower official to take back his token?" , don’t allow him to come to the Nine Heavens again, so as not to pollute the eyes and ears of the gods.”

Lin'an turned around, with a distant tone: "When will this deity befriend someone, and I need to report to you?"

Seeing the ice-cold look in the eyes of the other party, without any trace of the former harmony, Zhao Ya's heart trembled, and he tried to calm down and said: "The lower official has no such intentions. It is the lower official who overstepped."

"Arrogance?" Lin'an didn't move, and there was even a bit of playfulness in his tone, "Immortal Lord knows the word arrogance, how should I write it?"

His appearance was more frightening than total coldness and rage.If he was not completely disappointed, he would not look at himself as if he were looking at an outsider who had nothing to do with him.

Zhao Ya only felt the cold sweat on his back like a waterfall, and he knelt straight on the ground, pleading guilty: "I know my mistake, please God to punish me."

This was the worst situation he had ever imagined before attacking Dijun.He didn't know how the gods would deal with him, but no matter whether it was sent to the sky prison, or deboned and relegated to the mortal world, he was unwilling to leave like this before Li Yuan was eliminated.

However, the expected harsh treatment did not come down immediately.After Zhao Ya came in, he kept his head down carefully, so that before Lin An said the following sentence, he didn't notice that besides the broken porcelain, there was also a chessboard on the table.

"Get up. Play chess with me again."

Zhaoya couldn't believe it, but he didn't dare to disobey.It wasn't until he sat down opposite Lin'an that he vaguely realized that maybe he didn't have to go, maybe there was still room for change in this matter.

On the day he first came to Taishi Hall, he also played a game of chess with the god.That time he was not thinking about playing chess, so naturally he lost in a mess.Since then, Zhao Ya has been practicing diligently, thinking that if one day the god gets interested again and wants to play chess with him again, he won't lose too badly.

But Rin'an never asked him to play chess again, until this incident happened.This time, he was still not thinking about playing chess, so he was killed to death.

"Do you know why I brought you to Taishi Hall?"

The overall situation on the chessboard has been decided, Lin'an did not continue to move, and suddenly asked such a sentence.

"Shen Zun's mind is as deep as the sea, and the lower officials dare not speculate at will."

"You say you don't dare, but you still speculate in your heart?" Lin'an glanced at him, and said calmly, "Tell me about your speculation."

"Perhaps," Zhaoya lowered his voice subconsciously, "the god wants to use his subordinate officials to restrain the emperor in the future, so he cultivates it."

"So you faked my decree and wanted to get rid of the emperor. You even thought that maybe if he is gone, I will help you to the throne." Lin'an picked up the black children one by one, without raising his head, "Zhao Ya , should I say you are smart, or that you are confused?"

"Mystery, Xiaoxian has never thought of it like this." Zhaoya knelt down again, and said solemnly, swearing to the heavens, "Xiaoxian only wants to follow the emperor, and has never thought about the emperor's position. This heart is heaven It can be learned. If it is not the case, Xiaoxian will be wiped out in ashes."

"Forget it, it's just speculation, don't take it seriously. Get up." Seeing that he was still standing still, Rin'an frowned, and repeated, "Zhao Ya, I told you to get up."

"If the god doesn't believe it, Zhaoya is willing to kneel down forever to prove his heart."

Lin An Shizi's hands stopped, and his tone turned completely cold: "Are you threatening me with your appearance?"

"I don't dare." Zhao Ya seemed to be desperate, "It is the fault of the lower officials to attack the emperor rashly. If the gods want to kill or cut them, I will do as I please. It's just that Li Yuan's wolf ambition can no longer be allowed to stay here. By the side of the god. If the god can give an order to take back his token and not allow him to go to the Nine Heavens, Zhao Ya will die immediately, and he will have no regrets."

Lin An seemed to have heard a joke: "You think I want to do something to the Immortal Emperor?"

"I don't dare." Zhao Ya lowered his eyes and insisted, "No matter what the god thinks, the lower officials think that what the emperor has done recently is too obtrusive."

"Don't dare?" Lin'an finally sneered, "You keep saying you don't dare, but everything you do is too bold."

"Sir..."

"Do you think that this is to clear the way for me and take all the faults on yourself? Do you think that this deity will sympathize with you and will try his best to protect you in front of the immortal emperor?"

"I don't dare to ask the gods to be sympathetic." Zhao Ya leaned over and kowtowed, "All I did was just hope that I could help the gods do what you want to do, and clean up the filth for the six worlds. If you do this I can clear the obstacles for you, help the gods to respect and ascend the throne, and the lower officials will die without regret."

Speaking of this, there is nothing more to say.Indulging in not knowing what awaits him in front of him, Zhao Ya still held his head high, as if what he was about to receive was not a punishment, but an unearthly feat.

Lin'an stared into his eyes, there was no hesitation or remorse, no struggle or guilt, only calmness remained.Apparently, as Zhao Ya himself said, he didn't feel that what he did was wrong, and maybe even thought it was a great achievement that would be glorious for thousands of years.

It seemed that my initial vision was indeed correct.

From the very beginning, Zhaoya exposed Xingjun Shuijun for killing innocent people in Yaotai in front of Yiqin, then later in Xuanxiao Palace, he was not afraid of life and death, and denounced the immortal emperor for being stupid, and now he directly sent the poison that Rong Yan sent. Sending it to Xuanxiao Hall as it is, Zhao Ya's true nature has been fully exposed.Lin'an could see that Zhaoya's actions were indeed ruthless and ruthless, no matter who he was, he would show no sympathy to anyone.Ruthless Dao has made him, but if he does not practice properly, it can also destroy him.

At first, Lin'an wanted Zhaoya to come to the Taishi Hall because he thought that Zhaoya had no foundation in the heavenly court, fearless, selfless, and could be a sharp sword in his hand.At that time, Tianting urgently needed such a sword to help him break through the thick fog and reveal Yiqin's true face.Now that the fog has been cleared, keeping this sword by his side will only bring disaster.

Zhaoya's flaw lies in the word "extreme" in his character.If there is no one to guide and persuade him from time to time, it is very likely that he will go astray, but with his stubbornness, once he finds a way, he must not hit the south wall or turn back, and go all the way to the dark.

Lin An originally wanted to bring Zhao Ya by his side and teach him how to be kind, but there is not much time left, and Yiqin took advantage of this to rebel against the general, Zhao Ya, a pawn, could no longer be kept.

Fortunately, there was such a person beside him.

Zhanling.

"Recently, I often go to the Western Paradise to listen to Zen lectures by the real Buddha." When Lin'an spoke again, his tone had returned to normal, "He said that he is too forgetful, not ruthless, but that he should use ruthlessness to transform great love. There is great love without smallness. Love. You must always have a benevolent heart when you act, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort. Your determination is firm enough, but you can’t accomplish anything just by being firm.”

"God, the lesson is right."

You only know that you should focus on the Dao, but you don't have enough understanding of what the Dao is. Lin'an continued, "Although the Shuwen Division is not a very good place, it can help you gain enlightenment."After you go, just tell the officer in charge that it is my intention to let you replace him. "

Zhao Ya was stunned: "Shen Zun..."

"Go."

"Shen Zun," Zhao Ya said with difficulty, "...are you trying to drive me away?"

"You are the first priest who left Taishi Hall to find a job in a place like Shuwen Division." Lin'an quickly picked up the chess pieces, put them back into the jar, and asked calmly, "Don't you think it's good enough?"

"No." Seeing that he didn't take heavy responsibility, Zhaoya was in a mess, "God, you let me go easily, how should the emperor explain?"

"That's my business, you don't need to worry about it." Lin'an closed the lid of the jar, focused his eyes on Zhao Ya again, and shrank slightly, "Besides, when does the deity need to explain to him?"

This is quite conceited, but Zhaoya knows that in the entire Six Realms, except for the gods, no one has the capital to be so proud.

"In that case," he finally made up his mind and decided to fight again, "God, can you let me stay in the Hall of Taishi, even if it's just a cleaning attendant? I don't want to leave the Hall of Taishi, my official Worried, worried that if I leave, they will try to harm you and the goddess again."

"Nonsense, don't talk about it anymore." Lin'an waved his hand, pointing his fingertips in the air, "Just one thing, no matter how this deity treats the emperor, you must never follow suit. If you leave this door, if there is a next time, this deity Not on your side."

"Yes." Zhao Ya knew that there was no hope, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only give up.But there is one thing that I still can't let go of: "God, that Li Yuan..."

The sound of "bang" was the crisp sound of broken porcelain hitting the chessboard.Rin'an raised his eyes suddenly, and the cold light in his eyes splashed, Zhao Ya didn't dare to meet his sharpness, and lowered his head abruptly.

"You are not allowed to interfere with anything related to this name in the future."

Zhaoya gritted his teeth and replied: "...Yes."

"Among the little immortals who were promoted with you, there is one named Zhan Ling. I remember it well. Maybe one day, I will be able to make a fortune in the three thousand gold armor. You should pay attention to it."

"Yes."

"It's none of your business here, go ahead. Remember to hand in the waist card. If you have nothing to do in the future, you don't have to come to Taishi Hall."

After a long time, there was an imperceptible low response from below: "Yes. Zhaoya will leave."

Lin'an didn't say another word, he had said enough today, it was already abnormal for him.Zhao Ya also knew his temperament well, got up and bowed solemnly, turned and left without saying a word.

From the table desk to the door of the study, every step Zhao Ya took felt as if his step weighed a thousand catties, and it was more difficult than wading through water.After finally walking to the door, he was about to step out, but bumped into a black-clothed figure, coming in against the light, and couldn't see his face clearly, but only by hearing the voice, Zhaoya knew who it was.

"I left something behind, come back and get it."

Li Yuan stretched out his hand awkwardly, clearly not wanting to talk to Lin An, but since the lost conch was a sound transmission conch, he couldn't contact Jiu Zhe, so he had to come back to ask for it.

The sound transmission snail was originally hanging from the waist, but it probably fell off inadvertently when it was rubbing against the bottom of the bed earlier.

Venerable Silver Crown remained calm, and slightly clasped his hands at him: "Come here, play a game of chess with me, and I will pay you back if you win."

The moment they passed by, Li Yuan noticed that Zhao Ya's figure seemed to froze for a moment, and he turned his head to look suspiciously, but the other party had already stepped out of the door and walked away quickly.

Li Yuanben didn't care, he strode towards the table and sat down opposite.Seeing the faint smile on Lin An's lips, he wanted to pounce on Lin An and bite fiercely, but also felt that the other party was teasing him, which was no different from teasing a kitten or puppy, and his heart became more and more depressed.Although he agreed to play chess, he didn't intend to play chess well, he regretted a piece for a while, played tricks for a while, just clinging to it, and in the end he really won.

"No, I won't play this chess here." It was Li Yuan's voice, "I will play here."

"I won, I won," was Li Yuan's elated voice, "The majestic god, keep your promises! Where are the things, bring them quickly!"

One after another, the originally deserted courtyard was filled with laughter.Zhao Ya cast a last gloomy look at the study, then calmly took off the badge, and handed it back to Feng Guan'er who was ordered to hand it over.The latter's eyes were full of worry, he hesitated to speak, and the thousand words were reduced to one sentence: "Zhaoya, take care of yourself."

Zhao Ya was speechless, bowed to Feng Guan'er, turned around and stepped out of the gate of Taishi Hall.

At the corner not far away, a figure left quietly, and soon returned to Xuanxiao Palace.

Rong Yan was sitting by the bed, wiping the Immortal Emperor who was still in a coma, when she saw Zhuyue came back, she got up and retreated.

"The God Venerable only kicked him out of the palace, and finally indulged him lightly." After listening to the reply, Rong Yan was thoughtful, "However, it was within my expectation."

"Do you want to take the opportunity to get rid of it to avoid future troubles?"

"No need." Rong Yan pondered for a moment, then said: "You said, did you see that Zhao Ya and Feng Guan'er were at odds?"

"The slave girl saw that it was true. Before the goddess greeted him, but he didn't give the goddess a good face. He was so angry that the goddess turned around and left. Now that the goddess came to see him off, he didn't say a word, making it clear that he didn't look down on the goddess. In the eyes." Zhuyue was filled with righteous indignation, "That Zhaoya caused the emperor to be bedridden, doesn't His Highness hate him?"

"Of course I hate him, I wish I could kill him." Rong Yan said coldly, "But in the end, he is just an obedient animal under the command of the god. Let me ask you, is there anything between him and Li Yuan? Discord?"

"Of course there is." Adding fuel and jealousy month by month, "I heard that the disciple of the demon clan didn't know how to restrain himself in the Taishi Palace, and he even teased him, saying that Zhaoya is beautiful, and if he smiles, he must look good. Zhaoya hated this most in his life. Maybe he has a grudge, but I don't know. The servant girl looked at Li Yuan in his eyes, as if he was going to kill someone. "

"Li Yuan, Zhao Ya. Zhao Ya, Li Yuan." Rong Yan smiled slightly, "Very good, as long as we have a common enemy, things will be much easier."

Zhuyue asked cautiously: "What does Your Highness mean?"

"Now the god doesn't want him anymore. If he still wants to gain a foothold in heaven, it's time. It's time for a new master."
