The final result was found out five days later.
Star Awakening City jointly investigated with several nearby cities, searching inch by inch along the eastern slope of the Fallen Star Mountain Range, and explored all possible places. Finally, they came to a conclusion that they themselves could not believe.
This year's Star Selection champion, Royal Zhaoming Temple abbot, Monk Soldier Corps chief instructor, Master Mingjue, was Great Brahma Dynasty when he went out to look for fortuitous opportunity and broke through Golden Core Brahma Sound Valley and Golden Summit Temple surrounded Fallen Star Mountain Range and eventually died.
When the news reached the royal family, the emperor could not believe it at first.
The memorial was spread out on the imperial desk. He read it over and over again, closed the memorial, and was silent for a long time.
He is very optimistic about this young monk Mingjue who has a calm personality and strong strength.
He clearly remembered the look of the one-armed monk with one hand raised in the hall.
Unexpectedly, less than a month had passed before the sad news of his death came.
"Genius is short-lived."
The emperor sighed, which echoed in the empty royal study, and then sank again.
When he learned that a large number of high-level monks from Brahma Sound Valley and Golden Summit Temple had sneaked into the territory of the Myriad Stars Dynasty without anyone noticing, he immediately became furious.
He marveled at the other party's courage, and was extremely dissatisfied with the vigilance and defense of the nearby city.
No trace of the other party's infiltration was found, and no one was sent to explore and patrol the area.
If it could have been discovered as early as possible, things would not have gotten to this point.
He immediately issued two orders, one reprimanding the lax defenses of the cities along the way, and the other ordering the Ministry of War to strengthen border patrols.
The emperor stepped up his offensive against the Great Brahma Dynasty, not only in revenge for the last Curse, but also in response to this sneak attack.
In addition, after careful consideration, the emperor finally decided to keep Zhaoming Temple.
Although Mingjue died, the temple cannot be empty and the incense cannot be cut off, which also reflects the importance that the royal family attaches to talents.
The final decree is that Ming'an, Mingjue's junior disciple, will inherit the position of abbot, and everything else will remain as before.
Considering that Ming'an is young, another royal temple envoy will be sent to serve as the acting abbot, and the power will be handed over to Ming'an when he reaches adulthood.
Three days later, Chen Chen brought the news to Zhaoming Temple, which was considered the last farewell to an old friend.
Upon hearing the news of Mingjue's passing, everyone at Zhaoming Temple was filled with grief.
Lin Chuan came from Jade Star City after hearing the news. When he arrived at Zhaoming Temple, his face turned pale and he could hardly stand. He was held tightly by Xu Ying.
His hands held Xu Ying's arm tightly, his lips moved, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
Ling Shuyao also rushed over, with a face full of disbelief. He stood at the gate of the temple and did not go inside for a long time.
Liu Suifeng and others are still on their way due to the long distance.
Marquis Lin and Madam Lin also rushed to the temple.
Madam Lin held Ming'an tightly in his arms. He really couldn't bear to see this child. He had lost even his last relative.
She put her palms on Ming'an's back and patted her again and again. Before she could comfort Ming'an, her own eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Marquis Lin's reaction was a bit strange.
He stood aside, not speaking in a hurry, his brows slightly furrowed, his gaze falling in the distance, thinking and doubting.
It seemed like I had thought of something, but I had some doubts.
But to everyone's surprise, Ming'an was surprisingly calm. Not only was he not grief-stricken, he didn't even shed a single tear.
After hearing the news, he just shook his head.
"Senior brother will not die."
Everyone just thought he was in excessive grief and couldn't accept it for a while.
Ming'an returned to the Buddhist hall, knelt on the futon, and recited the sutra all night long, not hurriedly, not slowly, just like morning prayers on weekdays.
Su Qing brought Chen Zhao over to comfort him, saying not to hold on and cry if you want. Although senior brother Mingjue is dead, Zhaoming Temple is still there. They are still there and will always accompany Ming'an.
Chen Zhao was afraid that Ming'an wouldn't be able to think about it, so he held his monk's robe and said timidly, "Ming'an, brother also promised Zhao'er that we would go to Green Rock Mountain to see the beautiful birds together."
Ming'an seemed to have grown up and touched Chen Zhao's head.
"Sister Su Qing, don't worry, I'm fine. But I firmly believe that my senior brother is not dead."
In fact, Ming'an himself is also surprised.
When the news of his senior brother's death came, it stands to reason that he should be the saddest one.
But he didn't cry or make a fuss, as if he was listening to news from an outsider.
Subconsciously, he felt that this must be fake news.
How could Senior Brother die? For someone as powerful as Senior Brother, he must have gone to hide somewhere.
Ming'an is fine after walking such a long way. Senior brother is much more powerful than Ming'an. How could something happen?
Ming'an has an inexplicable belief in his heart.
Senior brother will never die.
I can't say why, but I believe it.
Su Qing can only think that Ming'an was too sad, unwilling to believe it, and closed his heart.
After returning to the room, Chen Zhao was put to sleep. Su Qing looked at the dim communication talisman in his hand and input another ray of spiritual power.
The jade talisman was dusty and unresponsive.
This is the communication talisman Chen Xi left for her.
At that time, Chen Xi told her that as long as she was alive, this communication talisman would always be on, and if she was close enough, she would be able to receive her message.
But just five days ago, it suddenly went dark.
Su Qing initially thought there was something wrong with the jade talisman. Unexpectedly, five days later, news came that Qin Tiexin was dead, and an unknown Golden Core Peak monk blew himself up during the battle.
Others don't know who it is, but Su Qing knows.
That must be Chen Xi.
When he first learned about this, Su Qing fainted.
She finally understood what the messenger talisman was about.
Chen Xi is actually dead.
But she can't say that even Chen Xi's identity is hidden.
She could only calm down a little, then cheer up to comfort Ming'an.
Ming'an's feelings for Qin Tiexin are no less than her feelings for Chen Xi. As a Golden Core monk, she can be directly grieved to the point of coma. You can imagine how sad Ming'an is.
But Ming'an's words made Su Qing hesitate.
Is Chen Xi really dead?
The first time she saw Chen Xi, Chen Xi didn't even have a heartbeat or breath, and his body was cold, but he still came back to life.
Su Qing understands how much Chen Xi cherishes his life.
How many Golden Core monks can force Chen Xi to self-destruct?
To be honest, Su Qing doesn't believe it.
And after she recovered, she realized some points that she had overlooked because of her grief.
Chen Xi is here this time. It is not certain whether he is the real person or not.
If it were not his true form, that self-destruction would actually have created an opportunity for Qin Tiexin to escape.
So, is it possible that Qin Tiexin is still alive?
Through previous contacts, Su Qing knew that Chen Xi was not ordinary interested in his junior brother.
Wouldn't you leave one or two life-saving things for Qin Tiexin?
Moreover, it is said that the people of Star Awakening City judged that he was dead only after seeing the mountain collapse and Mingjue entering Fallen Star Mountain Range.
For others, this may mean death. But for Chen Xi and Qin Tiexin, there may be a glimmer of hope.
I actually don't have as much confidence as a young monk.
After thinking about this, Su Qing gathered his emotions.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, the most important thing for me right now is to hold on to the foundation of Zhaoming Temple and guide and educate Ming'an to grow up.
