"Get out of the way!"
Song Shaoyuan pushed through the crowd and rushed to the prisoner's side, stretched out his hand to pull open his collar, and turned his head to the side so that the death row prisoner could cough up the vomit and avoid suffocation.
After a while, the prisoner gradually stopped twitching and resumed normal breathing. However, his eyes were still white and he was in a state of unconsciousness.
Song Shaoyuan stood up with a gloomy face and asked the jailers in a low voice what happened.
According to the guards, the prisoner fell ill suddenly and had no symptoms before. During these days of being held in solitary confinement in the prison, he ate and drank prison food. No one came to visit him, and he was not tortured or beaten.
Song Shaoyuan glanced at the frightened expressions on the jailers' faces and was not completely convinced.
This middle-aged prisoner is a relatively well-known scholar from Chang'an. He has extensive contacts and has personal friendships with many celebrities and even court officials.
Maybe it's because of Haotian's faith, or maybe because he firmly believes that the Yu Kingdom will be defeated, and wants to show his loyalty to Taihao Mountain now and gain capital for becoming a human master in the future.
He eventually joined the Haotian followers and almost took people to knock on the gate in front of the Daming Palace. He wanted to see the prince who was supervising the country, so that the prince could "return from the lost way" and lead the Yu Kingdom on the right path.
With such a crazy person, there must be people outside who don't want him to talk nonsense and cause more things. It is also possible to bribe the personnel of Dali Temple and secretly poison him.
"Huo Erlang, go and ask the doctor to come over. Ding Liulang, please clean this place. You two go and make a clean cell. Don't let anyone live in the rooms on either side."
Song Shaoyuan ordered and sighed in his heart. It seems that he has no time to go home tonight.
The jailers dispersed. Ding Liulang, who was assigned to clean up the scene, brought a broom, dustpan, and bucket. While cleaning up the traces of dirt on the ground, he cursed why he was required to do such a thing.
No one noticed that a small part of the mud-like vomit quietly seeped into the gaps between the floor tiles, slowly atomized and dissipated.

"How joyful is life, and how painful is death. They all come from the dust, and they all go to the dust. Burn my body to the pure land of light, and my soul will return to the Haotian."
In the unknown mansion in Shengyefang, more than 300 Haotian believers, both male and female, old and young, knelt on the ground and kowtowed devoutly to the ancient bronze bell that symbolized Taihao Mountain.
Dang Dang Dang——
The bronze bell swayed on its own without any knocking, making a magnificent and sacred distant sound. It mixed with the bells in the city.
Buzz——
The bronze bell bloomed with holy light, and everyone subconsciously blocked it, squinting their eyes and watching two figures walking out of the light.
Former temple master of Haotian Taoist Temple in Chang'an City, Ji Xuezhen,
Deputy envoy of the Taihao Mountain Christian Seminary, Gong Jinghao.
The former is over seventy years old, with white beard and hair, and a face full of age spots that is extremely kind and gentle.
The latter was just over thirty, wearing a white robe inlaid with fine gold threads, a jade crown on his head, holding a nectar bowl in his left hand and a whisk in his right hand.
"Welcome the temple master and the divine envoy."
The believers worshiped more and more devoutly, and some were so excited that they almost fainted.
Ji Xuezhen has been the master of Haotian Temple in Chang'an for nearly thirty years and has a high reputation among the people. He retired and returned to his hometown a few years ago and lived in seclusion in the countryside. No one could have imagined that he would appear at this time.
As for Gong Jinghao, he is the only direct disciple of the Cardinal among the four deputy envoys of the Faith Monastery. He has a high probability of inheriting the position of Cardinal in the future. He is one of the people closest to Haotian in the world.
They are also the biggest backup force for Taihao Mountain to stay in the Yu Kingdom after the mountain and river guardian talisman is erected.
"The time has come, and destiny is with me. Get up, let's start from Chang'an together, and let the glory of Haotian shine on the land of the Central Plains again."
Gong Jinghao swept away the whisk, handed out the nectar bowl, and whispered to the Haotian believers in the front: "This is the water of Zhanquan, drink it."
"Yes!"
The believer was so frightened and excited that he took the nectar bowl tremblingly, drank it all in one gulp, and then handed the jade bowl, which had strangely undiminished water content, to the next person.
All the believers who drank the Zhan Spring water had dim light dust floating out of every pore on their bodies. The strong spiritual energy fluctuations made the sealing talismans on the four walls of the courtyard tremble.
"What does it smell like?"
A Jinwu guard patrolling the streets outside the square seemed to smell something. He stopped and twitched his nose, "Why does it smell like a Taoist incense burner?"
"There is no smell. Did you smell it wrong? You can see that the thin dog didn't even react."
His companion did not take it seriously, held the dog leash, and continued to move forward.
Soon, soon.
Gong Jinghao and Ji Xuezhen looked at each other and looked away at the same time in a tacit understanding.
Everything is for Haotian, everything belongs to Haotian.
————
‘Everything belongs to Haotian.’
Cui Yixian, who was sitting alone in the corner of the long table in the Supervisory Building of the Academy, looked at the words on the note, expressionlessly took the note into his palm and crushed it.
"It's such a coincidence that this document appears. How could it be such a coincidence? Lao Gao, your student went back to Zhao County to recognize his ancestors, and the trustee happened to find it when he was rummaging through the document library. There must be a conspiracy behind this!"<
/p>
"Whether it's a coincidence or not, after verification, this document is authentic. You have to admit this."
"I believe in Danqiu. He will not betray us or the State of Yu."
There was constant noise in the room, and a group of tenured doctors, most of whom had been teaching for more than thirty years, were arguing fiercely.
The content of the argument is a document.
Documents about the ancestry of Chen Danqiu and Jingguo.
"Senior Brother Chen is the candidate designated by the Mountain Chief, and everyone recognized it at the funeral."
Chao Wenyuan, a doctor of mathematics, said: "How can we deny this just because of a coincidence of documents?"
"Everyone agreed at the funeral that it was true, but Wenyuan, you forgot that there was no vote at that time, which is against the rules."
An old doctor who teaches painting, national history and martial arts shook his head and said: "In addition, if Dan Qiu was open-minded, why didn't he tell this matter at that time?"
Wei Shanjun, a doctor of zoology, rubbed his palms and whispered: "This happened decades ago. Whether Senior Brother Chen knows about it or not, I have no idea whether this happened. I believe in the mountain chief's judgment of people."
p>
"The mountain leader is not always right, and sometimes he makes mistakes. For example, Jun Qianzi."
The old doctor still disagreed, "The place where Dan Qiu is retreating at the moment is the ancestral home of our academy. The practice is more effective with half the effort. At present, Dan Qiu has not been in retreat for a long time. There is still enough time to open the door of the house and seek confirmation from him without delaying the overall situation."
”
"Teacher,"
As a disciple of the old man, Doctor Du Qinyin of Painting reminded: "The current difficult situation of the academy lies more in Mount Taihao."
"We are surrounded by external enemies, so we must first deal with the internal situation."
The old doctor shook his head and suddenly turned his gaze to Cui Yixian, "Yixian, Yang Yu, what do you think?"
The room became quiet for a moment, and everyone looked at the two of them.
Xue Che and Tantai Leshan are not here, so they are the ones with the highest authority in the academy.
Xi Yangyu frowned and was silent for a long time. Cui Yixian suddenly opened his eyes and said calmly: "Let me ask him."
