Chapter 273: A Mistake
Half of the Black Mountain Underground Palace collapsed. Wen Jing led everyone out of the underground palace. Looking back at the underground palace that was still collapsing, his expression was a little distorted.
"What are the casualties?"
Hearing Wen Jing's question, the Great Protector quickly replied: "Everyone is injured. I have checked and no one has died so far."
"Okay, okay!" Wen Jing knew that it must be the two people who attacked him. Since the construction of the underground palace, there has never been such a tragic situation as today. "If we can't find those two people, everyone will be punished in the punishment hall."
"National Master!" The Great Protector wanted to persuade him. Judging from the current situation, the two people must have run away. How could he find them now when he didn't even know their appearance?
Wen Jing glared at her: "Why, are you not satisfied?"
"Master, it is indeed difficult to find those two people. If Mei'er is still alive, there may be clues." The Great Protector knelt down without hesitation.
How could Wen Jing not understand this? But now he was so angry that he didn't care about it at all: "Do you know how people outside will view the Black Mountain Underground Palace if today's incident gets out?"
"No matter how outsiders see it, it cannot change the status of Heishan in Xixia."
There have been three Dharma protectors in the Black Mountain Underground Palace since its establishment. Unlike the national master, whose term of office cannot exceed ten years, a Dharma protector’s position will be unshakable if he does not make any major mistakes, and he will pass the position of Dharma protector to the next person only after his death.
The three guardians have extensive experience. Their main task is to continuously train the next national master and devote themselves to the Black Mountain Underground Palace.
So when faced with this situation, the first thing that the guardians thought of was the Black Mountain Underground Palace, not the Imperial Master.
Wen Jing stared at the great Dharma Protector kneeling on the ground for a long time, and said, "In that case, the aftermath of the underground palace will be left to you three Dharma Protectors. I will return to the palace first."
Listening to Wen Jing's angry words, the Great Protector remained calm and replied, "Yes!"
After asking Jing Li, the other two Dharma protectors came forward to help the chief Dharma protector up. Looking at the direction where the national teacher left, the chief Dharma protector asked, "What's going on over there?"
The first and third guardians looked at each other and replied, "The little girl is gone."
The Great Protector immediately stood up straight, looked at the two of them, and his tone changed instantly: "What did you say?"
The first and third Dharma protectors immediately knelt before the first Dharma protector and said, "Those people who followed her were all killed."
The Great Protector closed his eyes. Everyone thought that the Imperial Master was selected through repeated trials, but that was not the case at all. The moment each child entered the underground palace, incense would enter their dreams to test whether they had a talent for divination.
䀴The person with the talent for divination was destined to be the next national teacher from that moment on. All the subsequent training was to force her to grow in the shortest possible time. As for the others, they were destined to be sparring partners from the beginning, and those who survived would become subordinates of the new national teacher.
Now it is almost time for Wen Jing to become the national teacher, but the next talented person has not been found yet. After a lot of effort, a person appeared, but he just disappeared. The great protector was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Even when the underground palace collapsed, the Great Protector was not as angry as he is now: "It must be those two intruders who took away the girl."
"But we have no clue at all now." The guardian understood that they no longer had time to find another gifted person.
"The Emperor has long been fed up with the fact that so many people in the Black Mountain Underground Palace have suppressed the royal family. If he wants to use this opportunity to prevent us from selecting the next imperial master, it is certainly impossible." The Great Protector has already begun to speculate.
The first and third Dharma protectors knew that the Black Mountain Underground Palace had always been a threat to the royal family, but would the King of Western Xia dare to do such a blatant thing?
