2142 Chapter 2243 It's Too Late to Regret
At this moment, Kong Renhe's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, his forehead was bruised, and his nostrils were still stuffed with two strips of cloth. He was in a state of embarrassment, but he still had the dignity of a praying priest.
"My lords, I, Kong Renhe, am ashamed to be entrusted to me." Kong Renhe said with a face of shame.
"Master Kong, what's going on?" Guan Xiujin asked.
"Oh, I didn't expect that dead girl to be so insidious and cunning, even I fell for her way..." Guan Xiujin sighed, and then explained what happened earlier in detail.
After hearing his words, Guan Xiujin and the others were dumbfounded.
The dignified praying priest of the Temple of Life was tricked by a little girl. Although the little girl is the priest of the lower temple, she is far behind Kong Renhe in terms of age, strength, and experience. Yes, Kong Renhe probably ate more salt than she ate rice, yet she was tricked into such a situation.
At this moment, they understood Zhao Xinghong's feelings at the beginning, not to mention Zhao Xinghong and other narrow-minded people who must revenge, even if they were replaced, they would never make her look good.
"So, those colorful soul orbs are no longer on her body?" Guan Xiujin said disappointedly.
The priests of Kita also frowned, with worried expressions on their faces. Although he felt sympathy for Kong Renhe's tragic experience and was surprised by Mu Hanyan's scheming methods, the most important thing now was the whereabouts of those colorful soul beads.
"If it's not on her body, who will it be in? Will it fall into the hands of other temples?" A priest speculated.
"No, the colorful soul orb must be on her body." Kong Renhe said with certainty.
"Master Kong, haven't you already checked carefully?" A priest said impatiently.
"Master Kong, I know you are dissatisfied with Mu Hanyan, but even if you want to vent your anger for the Zhao family, or want to avenge yourself, you still have to prioritize. The most urgent thing now is to find those colorful soul beads first." Another priest also said dissatisfied.
They could also guess the reason why Kong Renhe and Shi clung to Mu Hanyan. One was based on speculation that she was indeed the most suspected, and the other was because they wanted to vent their anger on the Zhao family, which could be regarded as fulfilling Zhao Xinghong's last wish during his lifetime.
But the facts are right in front of him. He found nothing on Mu Hanyan, but he still insisted on it.
"No, no, the two adults misunderstood. I, Kong Renhe, can still distinguish the priorities. There is a reason why I suspect Mu Hanyan. I have also heard about Long Wudang's character. Greedy for life and afraid of death, cowardly as a mouse, how could he seek revenge with Zuo Qiuhan? He must be trying to cover up something. If I'm not mistaken, most of the more than a thousand colorful soul beads on his body are Mu Most of the hush money Hanyan gave him was on Mu Hanyan." Kong Renhe said.
"Well, I've seen that Long Wudang once, it's really not bloody, and today's behavior is indeed a bit weird." A priest nodded and said.
"Then just arrest Long Wudang and torture him." Another priest said.
"No, Zuo Qiuhan has already helped him prove the origin of the five-colored soul orb in front of so many people. If we make another move, we will violate the law of the temple, and it will be difficult to convince everyone." Guan Xiujin directly rejected his proposal.
As the saying goes, if you don’t follow the rules, you won’t be perfect. The reason why the temple has been able to rule God’s Continent for so many years is not just power, but laws. If the laws of the temple could be trampled on at will, the God’s Continent would have fallen apart long ago. As an officiant, he must not violate the laws of the temple, at least, he must not blatantly break the law, otherwise he will be the officiant to the end.
"Then what should I do?" The other priests were frowning.
"Or, why don't we just send someone to arrest Mu Hanyan, and under torture, I don't believe she won't tell the truth." Kong Renhe said with a gloomy face.
Everyone else looked at Kong Renhe with eyes like idiots. The officiant was afraid of violating the law, and even Long Wudang didn't dare to move. How dare you want to move the one hall officiant? I know you suffered a loss at Mu Hanyan's hands and want to take revenge, but you can't make it so obvious.
"Cough, cough, I'm just talking casually." Kong Renhe also realized that his idea would not work, and the meaning of revenge was too obvious, so he coughed twice and explained.
"Well, let me think about it again, Mr. Liang, please go ahead and keep an eye on it, maybe we guessed wrong, the batch of five-colored soul beads are actually on someone else's body, we can't let him take advantage of the chaos to get away. "Guan Xiujin waved his hand and ordered.
"Yes." The priest he pointed out led and left, and the others also dispersed.
Guan Xiujin sat there alone, pondering for a long time, but still had no idea, feeling restless and uneasy in his heart.
Why the Temple of Life can become one of the five high-level temples, and why once the chief priest of the lower temple is cultivated, if he is willing to give up the position of chief priest, he will go to the Temple of Life to be sent by him. The main reason is the cultivation resources. If the batch of five-colored soul beads cannot be recovered, the status of the Temple of Life will definitely plummet, and he, the priest, will definitely become a sinner of the Temple of Life through the ages.
Alas, if you know this, you shouldn't have gotten along with me last time. Guan Xiujin couldn't help feeling a little regretful. If he had punished Zhao Xinghong and given Mu Hanyan an explanation after what happened in Qianlong Valley last time, at least in the short term, Zhao Xinghong would not dare to seek Mu Hanyan's bad luck, because He didn't know the rewards and punishments, and even supported Zhao Xinghong in a disguised form, so he was confident and determined to put Mu Hanyan to death.
In the end, Mu Hanyan didn't die, but he himself died so that there was nothing left. Well, you want to die and no one will stop you, but why do you keep all those colorful soul beads on your body? This is all right, I have to pay you back when you die.
The more Guan Xiujin thought about it, the more he hated it, and the more he thought about it, the more he regretted it. Unfortunately, at this point in the matter, it was too late to regret it.
"Father, what's the matter with you?" A young priest came to him, looked at Guan Xiujin, and asked suspiciously.
"Qingyun, you're back!" Guan Xiujin was in a state of desperation and hatred, and didn't realize it until he came to him, and raised his head and said in surprise.
This young priest was the self-righteous brown candy in Mu Hanyan's eyes—Guan Qingyun, Gao Weihu was right, he was Guan Xiujin's only son.
"I'm back, my father's vision is really good, and Mu Hanyan is very good no matter his appearance or quality." Guan Qingyun said.
"Have you seen her?" Guan Xiujin asked strangely.
Originally, he wanted Guan Qingyun to participate in the hunting trial, gain some fame, and at the same time see if Mu Hanyan could catch his eyes, but Guan Qingyun didn't arrive for a long time, and only later did he know that he was at the critical moment of breakthrough , so he didn't force it, but he didn't expect that he would meet Mu Hanyan.
