Barrier of Light

"Young Master, these people have already settled in various places in Guangming City as you ordered."

The backyard of the Gu family missionary residence.

Zhong Fan asked in confusion: "There's just one thing I don't understand. Since I chose to summon the night watchmen, is it necessary to arrange them in such a scattered manner?"

"have."

Without Gu Nanfeng's need to answer, Luo Yu said: "The prison robbery has been determined before... Only the young master can do this. No matter how many night watchmen come from the Gu family, it is all in vain."

"Not bad." Zhong Fan nodded.

He agrees with this.

The speed of Young Master Nanfeng is one of the best in the Five Continents today.

If you want to rob the secret prison, the more people there are, the more burdens you will have.

Luo Yu said slowly: "The reason why these night watchmen came from all over the West Continent to Guangming City... is because they don't actually need to do anything. As long as they come, they have already played a role."

Zhong Fan reacted: "Is this arrangement just to allocate manpower to the temple?"

"At the time of the Holy Scripture of Light, a large number of Holy Inquisitors need to maintain order. Countless eyes from all over the five continents are falling here."

Luo Yu said: "If the Holy Inquisitor wants to forcibly control the reception, our Gu family can even come forward to admit that these extraordinary people are the night watchmen who are loyal to the Gu family. At worst, we can return to Dongzhou this time and take them with us. As long as these people are quiet. If they stay in the city and don't do anything that violates the law, Guangming City will have no reason to deal with them... Only by hanging in silence can they be sharp arrows."

Zhong Fan thought for a moment and asked, "What should we do if Yao Jin doesn't respond?"

Yao Jin just visited the mansion in person and presented this drawing.

He should also know.

In fact, only the young master can achieve the real prison robbery.

"Yao Jin shouldn't do it, it's not important."

Gu Nanfeng, who had been silent until now, spoke now: "This is for Su Ye to see."

Zhong Fan was stunned for a second.

"After the Gu family delegation arrived in Guangming City, I sent people to the temple to deliver gifts. I will visit them one by one after a few days."

Gu Nanfeng said gently: "Su Ye, like Yao Jin, is a shadow cultivated secretly by the temple. People like them may be submerged in darkness for their whole lives... If you find an opportunity, you must try your best to climb up. Now Yao Since Jin has gained the respect of the temple, Su Ye will certainly not let him gain power like this."

He looked at Zhong Fan and asked: "If you were Yao Jin, after making consecutive mistakes... would you tell Su Ye about sending the 'secret prison blueprint'?"

"Won't."

Zhong Fan shook his head and murmured: "So Su Ye doesn't know Yao Jin's plan for the 'Secret Prison' at all."

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you tell me."

Gu Nanfeng said softly: "Since the Gu family has decided to summon the night watchmen who have been dormant for many years, the Holy Inquisitor must watch carefully, even if these people do nothing... As Luo Yu just said, there are only unresolved issues. Arrows make people wary."

Yao Jin sent the secret prison blueprints, which was a conspiracy.

It was also a conspiracy for him to let the Night Watchmen enter the City of Light.

"And, there's one more thing."

Gu Nanfeng asked: "Aren't you curious about the whereabouts of the second elder of the temple?"

"About Yuanyang, there have been various rumors in the past two days."

Luo Yu rubbed his chin: "Some people say that Yuan Yang is out on a mission, while others say that he is recovering from illness."

"all fake."

Gu Nanfeng said: "Although this second elder of the temple has average cultivation talent, he has been following the God of Light for a long time. How could he fall ill at this time? As for going out to perform tasks, it is even more nonsense... Yuan Yang works in the temple Take the lead, he is the only one absent from the Holy Scripture of Light, what task is more important than his main duties?"

"so?"

"The secret prison is still a secret prison."

Gu Nanfeng said: "This kind of thing can only be conjecture and there is no evidence. But I guess Yuan Yang is also in the secret prison at the moment. This is why Yao Jin is reused."

Luo Yu frowned and asked, "Did Yuan Yang commit any heinous mistake? How could he be thrown into a secret prison?"

"Tiguse Shozo's case file points to the temple."

Gu Nanfeng said: "If the hidden thread that Shen Li pulled out was exposed by Yuan Yang... then he has indeed violated the law of the temple."

Luo Yu suddenly realized: "This way, it will make sense!"

He looked at the young master, his eyes full of reverence.

"No, this is not the whole truth..." Gu Nanfeng murmured: "I remember she once said to me that there are very few people who are really good to her in the Temple of Light, and the second elder Yuan Yang is one of them. one."

There was a brief silence in the courtyard.

Both Luo Yu and Zhong Fan knew that the "she" the young master was referring to was Miss Meng.

In this brief silence, Luo Yu thought of the meaning that Gu Nanfeng was referring to.

His pupils shrank slightly and he spoke in disbelief: "You mean, Yuan Yang entered the secret prison to win Miss Meng's trust?"

"I don't know why the temple locked the goddess in a secret prison."

"Is it just because you regret your marriage?"

"I'm afraid...it's not that simple."

Gu Nanfeng gritted his teeth and said: "In the past twenty years, Meng Xizhou has received a unique 'divine favor'. She was born close to the light. The divine throne has given the Meng family countless glory and light. If only Why send her directly to a secret prison because she regrets the marriage? Take a step back, if you really want to deal with her, why not deprive her of the title of 'goddess'?"

Without taking away the name, there is still an opportunity for mediation in this matter.

Nowadays, countless people outside are speculating on the whereabouts of the Goddess of Light.

The temple even cooperated and released the news that "the goddess serves the sickbed of the divine throne."

"This matter... is indeed incomprehensible."

Luo Yu rubbed the center of his brows and murmured: "I'm afraid you can only know the answer when you, young master, see Miss Meng and ask her yourself."

Gu Nanfeng let out a faint breath.

"If Yuan Yang's entry into the secret prison was actually just an act, then Yao Jin's ascendancy will be explained."

"Just, what should Su Ye think?"

He looked up at Luo Yu and then at Zhong Fan.

"As the Holy Son, Su Ye must be wary of Yao Jin taking his place... He can't let Yao Jin stand in the light all the time." Luo Yu said seriously: "Jia Wei is in charge of the Red Lake, and Yao Jin alone has the power of the secret prison. , only he has the final say on the execution progress of Yuanyang's mission, and Su Ye cannot allow this to happen."

"That's right."

Zhong Fan also agreed: "So Su Ye...may enter the secret prison?"

"It's not possible, but it's certain -"

Gu Nanfeng said word by word: "Su Ye will definitely remove Yao Jin's power as the Holy Inquisitor first, and then explore the secret prison in person!"

The power of the secret prison was given by the temple, and Su Ye could not take it away from him.

"Su Ye will go to visit Yuan Yang in person and find an opportunity to release Yuan Yang..."

Luo Yu suddenly understood something, and he murmured in shock: "Young Master, you are not planning to rob the prison at this time, are you?"

…

…

"Xizhou..."

"Xizhou..."

In the deepest part of the dark and lightless secret prison, an iron cage painted with black and silver separated the two people.

There is obviously only a wall between them, but it seems like there is a natural chasm between them.

Meng Xizhou sat facing the stone wall. She had been in this position for a long, long, long time.

As a goddess of light, being locked in a place where she cannot see the slightest light... This is really a very ridiculous and ironic thing.

now.

Yuan Yang's hoarse call came from the black silver secret prison next door.

Yao Jin deliberately did not block the sound transmission between the two cages... As he told Meng Xizhou, Yuan Yang's mission was to obtain the unfinished information from the goddess's mouth.

Although Yao Jin, the leader of the secret cell, is young, he is very good at playing with people's hearts.

In front of Meng Xizhou and Yuan Yang, he tore the last layer of "window paper" between the master and apprentice.

How can the darkness of this secret prison compare to the human heart?

After shouting several times, Meng Xizhou opened his eyes.

She looked at the dark black silver secret wall next to her with great disappointment, and said in a self-deprecating tone: "Master, I didn't expect to meet you on such an occasion."

"..."

Yuan Yang was silent for several seconds.

He sat leaning against the black silver secret wall, his expression was very depressed, and his voice was hoarse: "Master, I'm sorry."

It's not that he hasn't thought about asking for mercy in these years.

only……

Anything is okay.

However, the matter of the goddess was not discussed.

The Great Elder told him that if Meng Xizhou did not reveal the full whereabouts of the [Holy Book], then it would be a betrayal of Guangming. Guangming City would never allow such a traitor to become a goddess and inherit the fire.

"If it weren't for what Yao Jin said, I might really believe you."

Meng Xizhou said softly: "After all, you are my master. You have saved me and the Meng family...and over the years, I have had delusions. Maybe you are willing to come to the secret prison to meet me, even if it is not Rescue me and just meet me briefly, Xizhou is satisfied in his heart."

"The Meng family... has been doing well these past few years."

Yuan Yang's voice was a little weak and he said with a smile: "How can I have the face to see you? Yao Jin is right. Going into the secret prison this time was just my mission. If I deceive the whereabouts of the 'Holy Book', it will be regarded as a success. .”

"I have begged the Great Elder many times in the past few years, too many to count. Knowing this, there is absolutely no room for maneuver..."

"I struggled for a long time."

"Finally I made the decision."

"I thought that even if I lose this old face and use 'cheating', I still have to solve your problem... so I came."

Yuan Yang leaned against the wall and said softly: "Did you know that the selection of 'successors of the fire' has begun again outside."

After breaking through the window paper.

Yuan Yang has nothing to hide.

He frankly admitted his purpose: "Xiao Meng, you are the true successor of the fire. You should go to the outside world and see the light."

This voice echoed in the Black Silver Secret Prison and lingered for a long time.

Unfortunately.

Meng Xizhou just shook his head.

"If I can get out of this secret prison by telling you the whereabouts of the 'Holy Book', then I would rather not get out."

She lowered her eyebrows, smiled, and asked, "In the outside world...where is the light?"
