On the wall ahead were countless names and countless accounts of achievements, but among them stood a blank plaque. It had clearly once borne writing and images, yet now it was blank...
Luo Wuxin said, "This man was named Li Tianlei, a breathtakingly gifted human prodigy from a thousand years ago. His name was once recorded in Lingyan Pavilion."
"However, he committed a grave error and was struck from the Holy Hall's rolls."
"When a person errs and the Holy Hall removes his name, how can his name remain in Lingyan Pavilion to guide literary scholars onward? Thus, his name was erased. It was also because of this incident that the Sacred Hall Elder Council issued that rule: only after a person's death could their name be left in Lingyan Pavilion, to avoid disputes."
This was called "only when the coffin was closed could the verdict be rendered"!
Lin Su agreed with this.
Indeed, before someone died, it was unwise to set them up as a positive model. If this fellow was made into a positive example and then went wild, crashed and burned, the propaganda line would become impossible to control. Only when he stretched out both legs, closed both eyes, and could no longer stir up any mischief could a true reckoning of his merits and faults be made.
He nodded gently. "Lingyan Pavilion is a place that guides disciples toward the Great Literary Path. Leaving one's name here is no trivial matter. This new rule is reasonable and proper... Brother Luo, what grave mistake did this Li Tianlei commit?"
"This matter concerns the Heavenly River Tribulation and is rather sensitive. Brother Lin, you would do better not to inquire." Luo Wuxin said, "Come, let us look at the second floor!"
The Heavenly River Tribulation!
