5162. Chapter 5162

Suddenly, as soon as this person spoke, the atmosphere in the entire hall instantly dropped to freezing point, and even the expression on the face of the monarch, which was visible to the naked eye, became extremely cold, and his eyes gradually filled with chills.

I saw the monarch of the ancient Xia Kingdom, turning his eyes to Scholar Xuanyuan, his eyes like a sharp sword, seemed to penetrate him, everyone held their breath at this moment, but did not dare to make a big move for a while. movement.

"Is what he said true?"

The monarch of the ancient Xia Kingdom opened his mouth to speak, his eyes were fixed on Xuanyuan Scholar, and he could not tolerate any hesitation and hesitation.

Scholar Xuanyuan nodded naturally, and said: "Qi Guojun, I happened to pass that mountain temple on my way here, so I went up the mountain to worship while I was on the road, and I didn't have any other intentions!"

"No other intentions?" However, when the monarch of the ancient Xia Kingdom heard this, it was so harsh, as if it had directly stabbed his inverse scale, and his expression was completely gloomy at this moment.

Scholar Xuanyuan was a little puzzled. He just paid homage to a dilapidated mountain temple on the way. Could it be some heinous crime?

"Do you know what it means to worship that mountain temple in my ancient Xia Kingdom?" The monarch's voice sounded again.

"Back to the monarch, the Caomin really don't know, and I hope the monarch will let me know!" Xuanyuan Scholar shook his head. He was telling the truth, and he really didn't know anything about it. Are millions of subjects still allowed to worship the temple?

"In the past hundred years, that temple has poisoned so many outstanding people of my ancient Xia kingdom through some dirty means, making the court of my ancient Xia kingdom more and more chaotic and unbearable, Gu has already ordered that all the people in the territory are prohibited from worshiping that temple, don't you know?" The monarch of the ancient Xia Kingdom spoke eloquently.

However, regarding this decree, Scholar Xuanyuan did not really hear the slightest bit of it, so he could only shake his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have never heard of this decree, and how can I completely push the matter of chaos to the court? To a temple?"

"Monarch, this person dares to talk back, questioning your authority here is simply a heinous crime and unforgivable. I propose that this person be exiled, otherwise there will definitely be a ritual of worshiping that temple again, causing chaos in the court and the people's life! "

At this time, another person stood up, glanced at Scholar Xuanyuan, and said to the monarch.

"Yeah, monarch, he was able to pass the exam so smoothly all the way, he must have used the evil power in that temple, we must not let this ethos spread again, or it will definitely lead to such incidents happening again. !" Someone echoed.

"I ask the monarch to punish this person severely!"

"Severely punish this person!"

At this time, out of the fifteen people, fourteen people except Xuanyuan Scholar actually knelt down in unison and said in unison to the monarch.

Although the monarch did not speak, his gloomy face had already explained everything. I saw him wave his hand lightly, and the guards at the side of Hou Yi received the instructions, and immediately summoned the monarch's guards. Armored and armed with spears and spears, the Imperial Army was well-trained and acted in an orderly manner. The moment he received the order, he rushed into the hall and immediately surrounded Xuanyuan scholars.

Right now, they only need a thought from the monarch, or a signal from his eyes, and they will immediately start to take down Scholar Xuanyuan or execute him on the spot.

The Praetorian Guards acted regardless of the reason, they only listened to orders, and they didn't have to care whether the person deserved to die or not. As long as it was the monarch, they could only obey unconditionally.

At this time, for Scholar Xuanyuan, at this moment, his entire world of beliefs collapsed directly. He couldn't believe that everything that happened in this short moment, the situation could turn so rapidly, and he went from connecting the three tests in a blink of an eye. The talented man became a prisoner who violated the ban.

Scholar Xuanyuan looked around with disbelief at the guards around him. These solemn guards were full of cold air. Behind these guards, the fourteen came with him. Yes, at this moment, their eyes are like wolves, tigers and leopards, and their eyes are full of pride and pride, as if they are looking at a fool.

Scholar Xuanyuan turned his gaze to the monarch again, but the questioning gaze of the monarch made him swallow all the words back in his stomach.

He knew that no matter what he said now, no one would believe it anymore. It was a fact that he went to the mountain temple by himself, and it was impossible to explain it anyway. Based on this alone, the monarch could cure his own sins.

It's just that he was not reconciled, why did things turn out like this, obviously he had already obtained the fame through his own efforts, he came all the way to the front of the hall, saw the king of a country, and was about to accept the award, but everything changed.

"No, why did it become like this, you...why are you doing this?"

Scholar Xuanyuan felt a headache and dizziness in his mind. He tried to control his emotions, but a throbbing in his heart made him on the verge of collapse.

"Your Majesty, this person has not repented in the slightest until now. There is no need to say more. Let's execute it immediately. Arrest him, demonstrate, and exile him to the Ten Thousand Years Ice Cave in the North Sea." Someone suggested.

"That's very good!" replied the king.

"What?" Scholar Xuanyuan didn't believe it. The monarch actually agreed. This sentence directly cooled his heart. His eyes were full of doubts. This was a question he had never been able to understand. .

And as the monarch's words were very good, the imperial guards surrounding Scholar Xuanyuan couldn't hold back for a long time, and they used the spear and spear in their hands to quickly subdue Scholar Xuanyuan to the ground.

Scholar Xuanyuan did not choose to resist, he was pressed to the ground like this, and then his hands were tied with ropes, leaving them to deal with him.

"Take it down, walk through the streets a few times, and then exile it to the Beihai Wannian Ice Cave." The monarch of the ancient Xia Kingdom said to the Guards.

Scholar Xuanyuan still didn't say a word, but looking at the picture of him being dragged away, something seemed to go out in those eyes, and the eyes that were full of self-confidence slowly dimmed.

From being tied up, to being dragged out of the hall, to entering the prison, Scholar Xuanyuan didn't say a word, and didn't even glance at others.

The Praetorian Guards threw him into the prison with the strongest defense, as if they were afraid that he would run away, but the current scholar Xuanyuan, let alone running away, was too lazy to say anything.

5163 Jail Debate

At this moment, Scholar Xuanyuan's heart was full of sadness after another. In this dark and damp prison, he was silently lying on the dilapidated wooden bed where he had slept on many death row prisoners, recalling all kinds of things in his mind.

Is it just because he went to worship the mountain temple, he should be sentenced to death?

What's the point of this?

I didn't use the power of any mountain temple, and everything was completely based on my own efforts, step by step to reach this situation, why did Tiandao tease him like this?

Scholar Xuanyuan fell into endless sorrow. He felt that the whole world was dark, as if it had lost its light.

Several days have passed, and during this period he has been silently staying in the prison without any complaints. He ate unbearable meals every day and listened to the guards talking about some things in the palace. Only then did he know that he was with himself. Most of the 14 people who took the test had already been assigned official positions and started their careers.

"It's great, I can realize my ideals and ambitions!" Scholar Xuanyuan heard that those people had become high-ranking officials, and couldn't help but feel happy and lucky for them. Thinking of this, it seemed that his experience was not so sad. , As long as there are people in this world who are working hard for the ideal and prosperous world, who does it matter?

It's just a pity, this is just the wishful thinking of Xuanyuan Scholar, and this beautiful fantasy of him was completely shattered by the arrival of a person three days later.

That day, Scholar Xuanyuan was entering meditation. Since he came to this prison, he found that he could completely calm down and seriously think about some things he had never noticed before. During this process, he recalled that he once The Taoist texts I have seen from the local stalls, most of these Taoist texts are scattered from some cultivators, and are essentially the lowest things in the fairy sect, which are not worth mentioning at all, but these fall into the world, but It has become a favorite of many people.

But after the pursuit of the pursuit, not many people can really understand it, and those who can understand have long been selected by the Xiu Xian sect to be their disciples.

Scholar Xuanyuan felt that it was amazing. By recalling the contents of these Taoist texts, he gradually figured out many things, and thus he fell in love with the feeling of entering meditation more and more. I feel very comfortable, there are not so many mundane things, there is no noise, only the peace of mind.

A few days later, this calm was broken. During the process of entering meditation, he felt a change in his consciousness world for the first time. It was a dark red aura, like a hunting beast, and suddenly he rushed over. came in.

Scholar Xuanyuan opened his eyes instantly and looked towards the prison door. Sure enough, there was a man in a red official robe standing outside the door, with his hands on his back, looking at him with a half-smiley face.

Seeing this, Scholar Xuanyuan slowly got up, came to the door, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"

"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that you have been convicted of death and will be executed at noon tomorrow!"

The man in the scarlet official robe nodded slightly and said calmly.

However, Scholar Xuanyuan did not feel particularly shocked and strange, instead he acted very indifferent, as if he had expected this day to come, he also calmly said: "Thank you for letting me know that I still have The last half of the day!"

"Don't you feel shocked, just worshipped a mountain temple, but was sentenced to death!"

This time it was the man in the scarlet official robe who was puzzled and shocked and asked.

"If you want to add a crime, there is no excuse for it. Since the monarch wants to convict me, what kind of crime is not acceptable? I only don't understand one thing. I am just a grass-roots citizen. This is the first time I have come to the capital. I don't have any Selfishness, why is it me?"

This is the first time Xuanyuan Scholar has raised his own question.

"Do you want to know, I can tell you, because you and we are not the same kind of people, you can stand in front of the golden ladder without the slightest influence of the light, your heart is too pure, there is no selfishness, no interests, this is The reason you have to die!" The red-robed man raised his mouth and smiled, his face full of gloomy meaning.

This time, Scholar Xuanyuan was completely silent, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, but he didn't expect it to be because of this reason.

"Your existence is like the sun, it will illuminate the rest of the people, and above the court, people like you will not be allowed to exist, so if there is you, there will be no one else, and others must If you want to live, you have to get rid of you!"

"This principle is the same whether it is in the world or in the world of cultivating immortals. People who are too upright cannot survive in the world, and they are too smart, but you don't know how to be tactful and sophisticated, and this is your sin!"

"Actually, no one knows if you have ever been to that mountain temple. We just know your hometown. On the way to the capital, you will definitely pass that mountain temple. As long as you deny it at first, no one has any evidence. But you won't, because you're too upright, you won't lie!"

The words of the man in red robe completely defeated all the world views of Xuanyuan Scholar. He did not expect this world to be like this. A huge sense of powerlessness slowly hit his heart, making him feel even more darkness in front of him. Can't see any light.

"Enjoy your last time, I wish you a long journey!" The red-robed man raised his mouth and smiled slightly, then continued to put his hands behind his back and slowly left the place.

Scholar Xuanyuan looked at the back of the man leaving. On the back of his red robe, there was a lifelike portrait of Xiezhi. On the red robe, it looked even more vivid and dazzling, as if it was going to come from his back. Like jumping out.

Scholar Xuanyuan leaned against the wall before slowly returning to the dilapidated wooden bed and sat down heavily.

It seemed like it was raining outside, and the cold and damp air slowly infiltrated through the cracks in the walls, but Scholar Xuanyuan seemed to have lost all his senses, staring at the roof of the prison with dull eyes.

The stormy night passed slowly like this. This night, in the mountain temple far outside the capital, the stone statue looked directly at the wind and rain outside, accompanied by the thunder and lightning, and the stone statue let out a soft sigh.

"All the dharmas are like dream bubbles, like dew and like electricity, should be viewed in this way!"

A dazzling lightning pierced through the dark night sky, illuminating the mountain temple, and the rumbling thunder, as if the heaven and the earth were singing, was extremely sad.

In the temple, the expression of the stone statue became hideous, like an angry king. With the disappearance of the lightning, everything returned to darkness. However, the moment a lightning flashed, and the moment it shone in the temple, the stone statue disappeared strangely. trace.
