Chapter Fifty-Seven: Asher Damaged
"You mean me, right?" Asher slowly retreated back to her place, staring at her uncle.
Once again, the air froze. I was caught in the middle, with my gentle uncle on one side and the elderly Asher on the other, and I didn't know how to ease the atmosphere, only silence.
"Xiu is the palace master, so naturally he will not harm the Buyue clan. Since I've checked it, it's me. ”
With that, Asher stepped forward and threw the footprints in the scepter to the ground with spiritual magic. The ordinary footprints looked particularly strange on the white floor, Asher looked at his uncle, then at me, and then put his feet on it, and I didn't stop him.
But when Asher's feet touched the footprints, they unexpectedly matched.
"Strange, how can this murderer's footprints be exactly the same as those of Asher?"
The uncle looked at Asher in surprise, incredulous.
"Xiu, this ......." Asher looked at me, speechless.
"How so? Asher has been a soothsayer in Liuli Palace for hundreds of years, so it is impossible to be a murderer. ”
Before I could speak, my uncle was the first to voice his doubts.
"Give me two days, and I'll give me a truth."
Asher dragged his old body away, leaving me and my uncle's hall staring at each other.
"Could it be him?"
Half-ringing, my uncle looked at me. Seems to be waiting for my answer.
"It won't be Asher's, he lives next door to Aoyama and the prayer room, yes, hope! I almost forgot about him! ”
"Who's that?"
"He is Aoyama's partner and opponent, and when Aoyama died, he was next to him."
"Could it be that he killed Aoyama?"
"It doesn't look like it, he was frightened when I went, his eyes were blank, as if he had seen something terrible."
"Then this prayer is a witness."
"You can say the same thing."
"There is still hope, and when the boy comes to his senses, we will know the answer. Hopefully not Asher. ”
"Well, wait."
"Xiu may have been working hard lately, I hope this is not a test for you by Bing and Asher."
"Test?" I didn't understand what my uncle meant.
"Blaze suddenly disappeared before you came back, Shefu supported you to become the palace master, and now it is the death of Qingshan of the Buyue clan, alas, I hope there is no connection between these things." My uncle patted me on the shoulder and looked at me worriedly.
"I'll definitely find out the truth." Seeing my uncle leave, I sat down on the throne of my palace master. Begin to take a closer look at the magnificent hall.
"Come out, aren't you tired of hiding for so long?" I shouted towards the second pillar in the temple. Sure enough, after hearing the voice, the light figure floated out at once.
"Hehe, how does Xiu know that I'm hiding there?"
"How can you not know? The death of Aoyama was the first problem I faced, and I was troubled, and my dream was naturally sad. I took Dream by the hand and sat down with her.
"Fix ......."
"What's wrong? Why did it suddenly become slumped? ”
"Let's leave the Liuli Palace, there is no happiness here like the elf kingdom, you have just become the palace master for a few days, you have encountered such a difficult thing, what can you do in the future?" The dream was almost crying, I held her face and looked at her with a smile, I knew she was worried about me, she was afraid that I would not be happy, but I had no way back now.
"Dream, be obedient, don't cry anymore, I have no way back now, I can only move forward, my identity is the bound of my destiny, my father has not been found, how can I leave the glass palace and escape again?"
"But..., there is no love and freedom you yearn for here."
"As long as you are here, everywhere is my love and freedom."
Dream stopped talking, and tears slowly slipped down her cheeks, and I lovingly wiped them away for her and hugged her tightly into my arms. This kind of down-to-earth possession suddenly made me feel at ease, no matter how big the glass palace is, at least there is a dream that can understand my heart .......
At night, when the whole glass has fallen asleep. I came to the top of the Liuli Palace alone, I still remember the time when the first life of the Liuli Palace died, I was still a naughty cultivator at that time, I clearly remember Xuan, my second sister, dressed in red, with white hair, crazy expression, in my opinion, it was such a painful ......, and at this moment, I seemed to see her dancing with a light posture, dancing on the edge, and her smile touched my heart.
Today's Qingshan is the second, and I suddenly can't remember where he resembles Xifeng, but I just can't forget his face. Could it be that as my uncle said, it was because I had always had the idea of escaping, and I ran away without permission, violating the taboo of my ancestors, that I brought disaster to the Liuli Palace?
No, it's never like that, I don't believe it's because of it. I looked up at the night sky, the stars were getting denser and denser, but no one stood up to answer me and give me a definite answer.
The cool breeze was blowing, and I bathed in its softness, trying to calm my passionate heart. It's been a long time, .......
"Xiu still likes to stand alone on the top of this high palace."
I should go by name, and it is Asher who comes.
"Asher, how did you get here?"
"I guess Xiu must be here, so I'm here." Asher walked up to me and stood with me.
After a moment of silence, Asher spoke first.
"About the murderer, has Xiu thought of anything?"
"No, what about you?" I asked Asher rhetorically.
"The only footprints left by the murderer at the scene match me, and the murderer must be me."
"No...... It won't be Asher's. "I defended him.
"But the evidence is in front of him, and he can't recover his senses in hope, he's completely insane,"
"Asher, do you know what I'm thinking?"
"The murderer's intentions?"
"Why did the murderer kill Aoyama, and why did he leave a hope of being alive, you live next door to them, he is clearly provocative, and the murderer's spiritual power should be above you"
I stared at Asher and voiced all the doubts in my mind.
"...... the one whose spiritual power is above me, who else will there be besides Jiong?"
"The murderer's cruelty is clear at a glance, but why did he leave footprints, since he can kill Qingshan in front of his hope, he can also leave quietly, leaving footprints, it's just that he wants to blame you."
"But, he ......."
"All of this, hope is the breakthrough, and tomorrow will know."
"Yes, Palace Master." Asher stopped talking.
I looked at the dawn and waited for the light.
A new day is coming soon.
A few servants came to my father's study, no, it should be mine, with mad prayers.
I thought about it all night last night, and I thought of the gift that Yuan Shui gave to his father when he brought the pivot to the Liuli Palace, and I remember that at that time, Yuan Shui told us that it was obtained by his ancestors from the belly of the divine beast, and he had a magical spiritual skill that could predict a person's past and future. I found it in the treasure cabinet in the study.
When the servants had fixed their prayers in their chairs, I asked Asher to place the royal blue ball in front of him.
The magical scene began, the ball began to spin strangely, as if someone had cast a spell on it, the blue light shone brighter and brighter, and I saw that the whole face of Hope was printed blue, the brown eyes were wide open, the bound hands and feet began to vibrate violently, and the mouth was moaning uncomfortably.
"Pray, hold on to ......." Asher held on to Hope and injected him with spiritual magic to maintain his strength.
I'm also very worried on the side, footprints are not solid evidence, hope is, this is not only about Asher's innocence, but also about the majesty of the Liuli Palace, if you can't find the murderer, the Liuli Palace will not send an explanation to the Buyue clan, and an explanation to Qingshan.
"Hold on, pray, Qingshan is still waiting for ......." Asher was still struggling to inject spiritual power into his prayers, and I saw that his face was already sweating, and his spiritual body had begun to be damaged.
"Asher, let it go, if you go on like this, you will get hurt."
I dissuaded Asher to stop, for Asher was far more valuable than the truth.
"Repair..., if you persist a little longer, it will definitely have an effect." Asher frowned and struggled again.
"There's a change, Asher, there's a change!" I was amazed. The blue light suddenly disappeared, and was gradually replaced by some scenes, first the people of the Buyue clan, then the flowing galaxy, and then gradually the Liuli Palace, a dozen teenagers stood in rows, Asher said, this should be the picture of praying for them to come.
I stared at it, not daring to let go of a trace, as Asher said, the picture gradually changed to the scene of the day of the assessment, the first level, the second level ......, and the next, it should be the night I let them rest.
"Qingshan, are you afraid?"
"What are you afraid of, what are you afraid of?"
"It's the Gollum Beast I saw in the Flowing Galaxy today!"
"Didn't you kill it? What am I afraid of? ”
"That's right, I don't know what the palace master's test will be tomorrow?"
"Oh, let's talk about it tomorrow, no matter you or me, whoever stays is the pride of the Buyue clan, just like Mr. Asher." Aoyama looked extremely tired, and ended the conversation in a few words,
"Yes, sleep."
Watching the two of them lie on the bed, my nerves burst, and next, it's time for the killer to enter.
The picture of the two sleeping lasted for a long time, just when the hope was struggling more and more, Asher's body gradually became weaker, as if he was about to fall, suddenly, a figure appeared, from his figure I can't tell who it is, even if it is a person, it is difficult to tell whether it is a person or not, the half-bent body looks like some kind of monster, little by little towards the boy on the bed, the color of the clothes is gradually clear, the murderer is wearing a gray cloak, holding a dagger in his hand, I can see it clearly, it is the ...... on Aoyama's chest.
"No, Aoyama..." I tried to wake Aoyama up, but the dagger was brutally inserted.
"Aoyama!" I couldn't hold back a loud shout, and the spinning ball immediately stopped and stopped glowing. At this time, Asher, who was praying for him, suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and his trembling body almost didn't stand.
"Asher!" I stepped over and grabbed him just in time.
"Xiu ......, do you see it?" Asher's voice was weak, and I could barely hear his breathing.
"Asher, see... See. I answered again and again until he fell asleep in my arms.
