Chapter 193 No.20 Act Six

"Shhhhhhhhh!"

The man behind the bars had a hoarse voice, and his voice sounded like it was being squeezed out of his throat.Ning Yue struggled desperately, but she refused to give in.

"Yue'er, don't make a sound! I'm Daddy!"

The other party hurriedly spoke to comfort him, but there was a trace of tremor in his voice, as if it was difficult to restrain his emotional fluctuations.

The red-haired girl trembled violently, as if she couldn't believe her ears, but she quickly stopped struggling and turned her head to look behind her.At this time, a beam of moonlight happened to shine on the other party's face, but his appearance was completely different from that of the high priest in Cangliu City in her memory.

Today's Feng Weishu has long lost the prestige of the past, his face is covered with stains and dirt, and it is almost difficult to distinguish the original color of the skin.There is no light in his eyes, only the dead gray despair that seeps from the depths of his soul.The beard that has not been shaved for a long time is tangled together and tied into countless knots.The dry and greasy hair also fell loose, like a large mop that had not been washed for a long time on the top of the head.And on the exposed arms, there are several skin ulcers, which should be due to long-term lack of water and food.

Ning Yue's eyes widened, and she looked in surprise at this familiar but strange man in front of her, not knowing whether she should call him father or the priest.

Feng Weishu seemed to realize that he had frightened his daughter, so he took a half step back, and fell into the darkness of the dungeon again.

"Why did your voice become like this?" the girl finally asked.

"It was poisoned by Gao Li. He was afraid of me yelling in the prison, and he imprisoned me in the depths of this cell, just not wanting to attract the attention of others."

Finally seeing her daughter who had been away from home for several years, Feng Weishu suddenly became choked up, "Yue'er, you have grown up...Come closer, let my father take a good look at you..."

"What's so interesting." Ning Yue took a big step back and stood far outside the prison door, "Gao Li lied to me when he said that you are no longer alive."

Hearing this, the man standing in the shadows shrunk imperceptibly, as if the joy of reuniting with his daughter had not yet been expressed, and had stopped abruptly: "Yueer, you—— still hate being a father? Do you know , these years, your mother and I have been looking for you everywhere, and I almost broke my heart—"

"Don't mention your mother in front of me! If it weren't for you imprisoning me in Ganyuan back then, I wouldn't have come to land, and she wouldn't, she wouldn't—you don't deserve to be my father, and you never neither!"

"Did you already know?" Feng Weishu's shoulders shook violently.Unexpectedly, the high priest who has never shown any sorrow or joy, now shed all the arrogance and loneliness on his body, and shed tears uncontrollably. Come ashore..."

The red-haired girl bit her lips hard, but forced back her tears:

"What's the use of regretting now?!"

"Yeah, what's the use of regretting? If I knew this, I should have driven out all the rebels in the city. If I could eradicate that pretentious villain with my own hands, Cangliu City today would not be destroyed. , everything, maybe there will be a turning point..."

Speaking of Kunjie, Feng Weishu couldn't help clenching his fists, and beat the stone wall in front of him hard, smashing all the joints.

"So, is Cangliu City really gone?"

In fact, Ning Yue has always been skeptical of what Gao Li said.However, listening to the man in the prison also said the same, the last illusion she had held in her heart was finally completely shattered.Cangliu City - the beautiful time that condensed countless childhoods, the hometown that seemed to last forever, now I can never go back.

The girl had mixed feelings in her heart, and after a long time, she asked again:

"What exactly does Kunjie want to get by doing this? I know that he was with you, learning how to cheat from his grandfather, and both of them fell in love with mother."

"That's right, Kun Jie and I were both beloved disciples of Master Sui Ya's sect. At that time, the two of us were able to enter the Dharma Hall through various selections, starting from the assistant priest and stepping up step by step. In the end, both of us were able to follow your grandfather. Opportunity to practice the breath."

Seeing Feng Weishu nodded in recognition, Ning Yue then continued:

"I also know that what the great priests of the past generations told the clansmen about the impending exhaustion of Xuangui is just a big lie, isn't it?!"

"Kunjie told you these things, right? Are you so gullible in that villain's one-sided words?"

The man behind the iron gate did not immediately answer the girl's question, but asked back.

Ning Yue hummed heavily immediately:
"Whether it is true or not, it is an indisputable fact that Fatang has declared to the outside world that the mysterious gems are about to be exhausted for thousands of years, and it is an indisputable fact to spread panic in Cangliu City. And the purpose of doing so, if it is not to intimidate the tribe, they have to rely on the power of Fatang to maintain the enchantment. Relying on the seemingly omniscient High Priest in the Dharma Hall, why would it be!"

"Indeed, the matter of Xuan Gui is indeed a secret that the great priests of all ages have kept secret. But the reason why we did this was not for our own selfish desires."

The red-haired girl immediately shook her head to express her disbelief: "If it's not for yourself, who else can it be?"

Feng Weishu suddenly raised his head, but his eyes were swept away from the previous haze, and his eyes brightened, as if he wanted to justify himself, the Dharma hall and the great priests of all generations:

"Since you know that Xuan Gui's story is a fabrication, you should also know that it was Kun Jie who used the excuse of discovering Xuan Gui's secret back then to have a big fight with Master Zong Sui Ya, and then left the court and became the leader of the rebel party. seat. But you must not know why he set up a rebel party and confronted the Dharma hall everywhere?"

Ning Yue was taken aback by the other party's question, and then she answered firmly:
"Both of you are grandfather's apprentices. Isn't Kunjie's purpose exactly what Fatang hopes? He hates the people on earth just like you, and wishes to kill them all!"

But these words suddenly made Feng Weishu laugh out loud.Hoarse laughter in the dark, as if a wronged lonely soul is scratching people's eardrums with their nails, making people feel creepy:
"Kunjie's purpose is the same as that of the Fatang? This is the most ironic thing I've ever heard in my life!"

"Kunjie said that he wanted to find the holy city as soon as possible, and use the ultimate power left by the ancestors in it to benefit the Cangyu family. But this matter is something that the Fatang and the priests of all generations dare not even think about. I dare not mention it!"

Ning Yue didn't understand what was so ridiculous about her words, and wanted to argue immediately.But Feng Weishu laughed again, and then retorted unquestionably:
"We dare not think about it, we dare not mention it? Yue'er, Yue'er, that Kun Jie must have never told you. In fact, Master Sui Ya led the chief priests of the Dharma Hall to find the Holy City more than [-] years ago. where!"

Hearing what the other party said, the red-haired girl suddenly froze.She didn't expect that Qi Shouyu and others would risk their lives to find the ruined city of the ancestors drawn on the ancient map that made Qi Heyin and Xiang Baili die one after another, and even threatened the safety of herself and her friends. The relic of its location is no longer a secret in the opponent's mouth.

Ning Yue shook her head vigorously, but then she seemed to be convinced again, looking at the man she once called her father in the cage in front of her, she murmured, "You promise, everything you told me this time is true. truth?"

Feng Weishu looked at the suspicious eyes of his daughter in front of him, and nodded solemnly:
"The reason why Fatang led his people to leave Cangliu City is to hope that after returning to land, they can bury the secrets of the Holy City in the seabed forever. Because the people on the land learned about the Holy City and the secrets contained in it. After the ultimate power, he also spared no effort to search for it. You should have seen that the barbarism and desire hidden in the hearts of these people are simply uncontrollable. Even if Fatang kills people because of this, it is just a last resort. It's just a count."

"What a stopgap measure! Trying to keep a secret by killing people has been wrong from the very beginning!"

Although the red-haired girl said so, she finally believed that the other party was not lying.Because based on her understanding of this lonely man, if she hadn't really felt uneasy, it would be absolutely impossible for her to say the words "expedient measure".

It's just that I never thought that Feng Weishu suddenly knelt down in front of her daughter, and the sadness that had been suppressed all the time also gushed out of her heart like a flood that broke the embankment again, and could no longer hold back:
"Yue'er, as a father, I don't expect to be forgiven by you. Ever since you left home, I have regretted it all the time, especially when I saw Shan Hu wash my face with tears. My father was always thinking, Could it be that I wanted to take all the secrets by myself all these years, but I was wrong from the beginning? If I had told you all this back then, if I hadn’t killed so many people with an iron fist over the years , will everything look different today? I killed the coral, I killed you, and I killed the relatives I care about the most... Now if I want to exchange my life, I would also like to exchange for you The safety of mother and daughter!"

Ning Yue had never seen her father lose his temper like this.Hearing the sobs in the other party's mouth like a broken bellows.She thought of her dying mother again—the young girl now suddenly felt a pang of compassion welling up in her heart, and two lines of tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.However, in the end, she still failed to speak, did not tell the other party that she had actually forgiven him, and did not call her father again:
"I really miss my mother, more than ever! But if all of this is because of that holy city, can you explain clearly, what is so special about the ultimate power left by the ancestors there? "

"It is recorded in the ancient books of the clan that the ancestors mastered powerful spells that can turn the sea into a mulberry field, and even manipulate the movement of the stars in the sky, darken the Milky Way, and change the color of the sun and the moon. Even the ancestors themselves Destroyed by this power that should not flow into the human world. It's just that these books have already become taboos in the clan, and the words on them can only be understood by the high priest and a few chief priests."

Feng Weishu wiped away his tears with his cuff, and continued word by word, "Although my father has never seen that kind of power with his own eyes, it is conceivable that even if compared with it, it is just beyond compare. , it’s nothing more than a cloud of mud!”

"But now why is Kunjie planning everywhere, trying to get ahead at every step, and must obtain this terrifying power?"

Ning Yue was speechless, and it took a long time before she suddenly realized and asked again.Unexpectedly, the face of Feng Weishu in the prison darkened, and his voice became hoarse than before:

"He—actually wants to use this power to destroy everything in this world! And your mother also accidentally learned that Kun Jie had such a plan back then, so she completely severed ties with him."

"But why did he do this? After destroying everything in the world, wouldn't he also be unable to live?"

The red-haired girl couldn't understand the reason for a moment.Feng Weishu shook his head, and continued to explain: "Why, I have sent countless people to investigate for so many years, but I have never figured it out. I just vaguely feel that Kunjie seems to be the same as the land people and my Cangyu family. , all have an inexplicable deep-rooted hatred. And he, perhaps, wants to complete his final revenge in this way!"

When the words settled down, the father and daughter fell into a long silence.It wasn't until the sound of the clappers of the patrol in the city floated far outside the prison that they realized that it was already past midnight.

"Too much talking today, Yue'er, you have to leave quickly!"

Feng Weishu began to urge his daughter to leave.Ning Yue never thought of it but shook her head:

"No, when I came out, Gao Li was outside the Hall of Si Nian. I am afraid that at this time, he has already led Zhi Jinwu in the palace to search for my whereabouts."

The father inside the iron gate raised his finger and pointed to his ear:

"No, if he finds out that you have sneaked away, the situation in the palace should already be different. I made an agreement with you as my father, that you and I will meet each other in this prison every night to discuss how to get out."

"The imperial city of Yujing is as solid as gold, what else can we do?"

The red-haired girl still had doubts, but Feng Weishu reached out and pushed her away from him:

"Although Gao Li is still obeying Kun Jie on the surface, the relationship between the two is not as unbreakable as it appears on the surface. You believe that as a father, given time, we will definitely find a way to leave this ghost place together!"

Ning Yue nodded hesitantly, picked up Xue Ling at her feet, and carefully followed the way she came back to the gate of the Hall of Si Nian.However, it was indeed as expected, Gao Li was probably afraid of disturbing the girl's rest, but ordered someone to place the cart of azaleas at the entrance of the main hall, and did not go inside to look for her.

The girl hurriedly leaned into the white fox's ear and whispered a few instructions, then bent down to go back through the hole in the wall, and tiptoed back to her own door, and then breathed a long sigh of relief.

After that night, as long as there is a chance, whenever the time passes, Ning Yue will sneak out through the hole in the wall of the Hall of Si Nian to meet Feng Weishu.Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and this secret of hers was never discovered by Gao Li.And the plan of how to get out is gradually taking shape.
