Chapter 628 After the Explosion
Above the tower, the firelight reflected the pine trees on the mountainside red.
"Is it solved?" Priest Li asked calmly.
The female high priest slowly raised the telescopic mirror in her hand, stared at the rising flames in the distance, and softly replied:
"It should be fine, just wait for the reward."

In the firelight, pieces of burning ashes were picked up by the cold wind and intertwined with the falling snow, like gray snowflakes, whirling and dancing in the air.
As if by chance, a black snowflake was blown by the wind and floated between the temples. Finally, it passed through the window of the tower and fell on the palm of the female high priest.
Looking down, on the charred ashes, two vague ink writings could be vaguely discerned:
"None."
She smiled slightly, with a smile on her face. There was a hint of satisfaction.
"Is it done?" Priest Li looked at her, and when he saw her expression, he already knew what was going on.
He stretched his brows and smiled, "Sure enough, just leave this kind of matter to Priest Lou. No one will know..."
Before he finished speaking, "Bang" With a sound, the door of the tower was suddenly pushed open.
Priest Mei appeared at the door panting and angrily.
"You did this?" He pointed to the fire in the distance that was still not dissipated, with uncontrollable anger burning in his eyes.
Priest Li and Priest Lou looked at each other and did not respond immediately.
"Why do you care?" Priest Li stepped forward, patted Priest Mei on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "The matter has been resolved anyway, hasn't it?"
" What kind of solution is this?" Priest Mei's voice trembled slightly with anger, "We came to her to solve our urgent needs..."
"Master Mei What the official said is right," Grand Priest Lou said slowly, with a sweet dimple appearing on the corner of his mouth, but his tone was as cold as ice, "But since she can't solve our urgent needs, there is no need for her to stay. "
Priest Mei's eyes widened in disbelief, and his voice suddenly rose: "So you want to kill them? "
"Be careful," Great Priest Li said coldly, "This is just an unfortunate accident. The cause is not yet known. Maybe the carriage's formations were damaged by the cold, or maybe it was caused by other reasons. What does it have to do with us? ?”
“Yes,” Priest Lou smiled even more and added in a low voice, “It’s hard to say anything on a snowy day.”
Priest Mei looked at the two of them. His fingertips trembled slightly, as if he had realized something.
His lips moved, but in the end without saying a word, he suddenly flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave.
"He must have gone to see the scene, right?" Priest Li said casually.
"Just take a look," Priest Lou said disapprovingly, "Anyway, there are no bones left, everything has been reduced to ashes."
"That's fine." Priest Li nodded and touched the The short beard under the round chin and the cheerful smile.
However, Priest Lou’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice suddenly became low: “But it’s time to deal with him too.”
“But his cultivation... we It may not be possible to completely suppress him." Priest Li hesitated slightly.
“Don’t be afraid,” the Great Priest Lou chuckled, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes, “Don’t we have a killer weapon in the Divine Hidden Realm?”
"Has the sacrifice been completed?" A hint of surprise flashed across Grand Priest Li's face.
“That’s right.” Priest Lou was also proud.
"Great!" Priest Li said excitedly, "Let's go and take a look now!"
The two of them talked in a low voice as they walked down the tower, their voices echoing in the Between the cold stone walls.
"It's a pity that the person from the other world ran away..." There was a trace of regret in the tone of Grand Priest Li.
"It doesn't matter," High Priest Lou said firmly, "Since she has treacherous intentions, she will always show her flaws."
...
"What? Is she dead?"
In the courtyard of the Mei family, Mei Yuting, the principal of the Meiyuan, heard what the great priest brother Mei Yuxing said. His legs went weak and he could hardly stand. Fortunately, Mei Yuxing helped him in time.
"I'm sorry..." Mei Yuxing's voice was low and difficult.
"But..." Mei Yuting's lips trembled, "According to what you mean, it's not just Su Che, but also Liu Sheng..."
Mei Yuxing nodded heavily.
"How should I explain to their families..." Mei Yuting felt a sharp pain in her chest and murmured, "Besides, Liu Sheng went there because of me. If it hadn't been for me... ..."
Mei Yuxing shook his head and said in a low voice, "This is not your fault, even you can't predict it."
"But..."
Mei Yuting suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with painful light.
"I have known for a long time that the temple will never allow Liu Sheng's research to exist! But I am lucky, thinking that with Su Che's privileges, there may be a chance for you to see it, and there may be a chance to make something Something..."
Her words stopped abruptly, still unable to control herself in grief.
Mei Yuxing's face suddenly darkened, and there was a hint of vigilance in his tone: "Liu Sheng's research?"
"You don't know?" Mei Yuting raised his head in confusion, "Did Su Che not say anything in the temple?"
Mei Yuxing felt even weirder, his brows were deeply furrowed, and his face instantly turned ugly. .
"Originally, the content of the discussion cannot be disclosed to the outside world, but now that the matter has come to a close, I must ask clearly - what did Su Che originally intend to say?"
Mei Yuting shook his head and said in a heavy tone: "The key is It wasn’t Su Che, but Su Che had led him Go to Liu Sheng. She proposed a way to explore the source of spiritual energy, and possibly produce new spiritual energy with the help of the device she designed..."
Before he finished speaking, Mei Yuxing's expression suddenly changed. He was pale and his body was shaking slightly, almost crumbling.
He clutched the armrest tightly and murmured in a low voice: "Wrong... wrong... everything is wrong."
Mei Yuting's heart trembled and her breathing became rapid.
"What? Didn't you attack them because this training article was too blasphemous?"
Mei Yuxing smiled miserably, with unspeakable complex emotions in his eyes. , said slowly:
"No, Su Che...she didn't say anything..."
...
The explosion was astonishing.
The location happens to be in a place like Temple Mountain, where people come and go and there is an endless stream of pilgrims.
The news soon spread throughout Chang'an.
As for how many people died in the explosion, it has not yet been determined.
All that is known is that the cause of the accident seemed to be an old carriage, and it was suspected that its spiritual weapon array was improperly modified, which triggered this tragic disaster.
Suddenly became the focus of discussion in the whole city.
“So, when it comes to refining spiritual weapons, you really can’t be careless!” Someone sighed.
"Yes, that's why I have always only used official spiritual weapons from the Ministry of Industry. I don't dare to touch those products produced by small workshops."
"Hey, then you are still from Qingyun Pavilion Did you buy any magic book mirage device?" Someone couldn't help but tease.
"Tsk, don't you understand?" The man lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Do you know who the founder of Qingyun Pavilion is? One is the daughter of the Minister of Industry, and the other is Wen Shaoqing My daughter, can this background be tough?”
“I see...”
"But that's not all. Even the Holy One personally praised the work of the Divine Book Mirage!"
"Oh, of course the Holy One likes it. He loves to seek immortals and ask questions the most. Even in the early morning, he Not..."
"Shh, be careful, don't say any more..."
