Chapter XX: Interrogation
It's not a prison, it's just a lifeless cave.
I looked up at the rock wall at the top of the cave, and all kinds of strangely shaped stones were crooked and embedded in the ceiling. Black, gray, dark red, dark brown, the stone texture blends in with the other stones around it.
I was secured to a large, open stone seat, facing the four men on the raised platform opposite. At the top sat His Majesty the Supreme Heavenly Emperor of the Six Realms, who had not been seen for more than two hundred years, and on the slightly shorter high platform sat three solemn-looking faces side by side.
The white-haired, long-bearded old man in the middle cleared his throat: "Name?"
"Ice condensation. I said lightly.
"Really?"
"Frozen Sky City Snow Hare. ”
"When did you come to the Heavenly Realm?"
"Two hundred years ago. ”
The white-haired old man paused: "What is your relationship with the Wind God?"
"Friends. ”
The white-haired old man frowned: "How can the prince have a snow rabbit friend?"
"By chance, I can't finish talking about three days and three nights, so Shangxian still asks the point. ”
The other two faces beside the white-haired old man all cast dissatisfied glances at me.
"Why did the Wind God get infected with the Fire Qi Disease of Frozen Sky City?"
"I don't know. ”
The white-haired old man's brows tightened even tighter, and he touched his long beard and said, "In the forty-eighty-six thousand two hundred and thirteenth year of Tianyuan, the Wind God began to retreat after returning to the Xuanqiong Palace from the Palace of Love. According to Princess Linglong's reaction, you are the last person you saw before the Wind God retreat, how could you not know?"
"I don't know, I don't remember any special events on that day. "I continued to be expressionless.
The white-haired old immortal looked at the immortal on the left, then at the immortal on the right, and finally looked back at the Emperor of Heaven.
That day, the emperor's expression was cold and indifferent. But I saw him slowly get up, and walk down the high platform in a dignified manner, and walk in front of me. When he was about half a meter away from me, he stopped and was condescending.
"Has the prince ever been in contact with a sick Frozen Sky Elf?" The familiar, majestic voice seemed to reproduce the picture of the first time he arrived at the Xuanqiong Palace two hundred years ago.
"I don't know. I looked him in the eye and replied word by word.
"What is the relationship between you and Emperor Wuyang?" he stood with his hands in his hands, his tone unchanged, but with a steady and oppressive momentum.
I thought for a moment, stared at him and said, "I want to see the emperor." ”
"You're a prisoner now. The Emperor said coldly: "Don't ask me for conditions. ”
"I won't tell you anything about the Emperor until I meet him, including his relationship with me. ”
He sneered, flicked his sleeves, and returned to the high platform to sit down.
He motioned to the white-haired old man at the top to continue, and the white-haired old fairy nodded.
"Then do you know why the prince disappeared?"
Genfeng is missing!?
“...... Infected with a vicious disease, whoever is infected, the spiritual power gradually fades until it is wiped out...... "The scorching words floated in my mind, and every word was like a sharp blade, cutting at my heart inch by inch.
Is it missing, or is it all gone in retreat?
Thinking of this, I felt like my heart, liver, spleen, and lungs were being pulled out together. I struggled to get rid of the confines of this stone chair, and I cried desperately: "Let go of me, let me go to the Xuanqiong Palace, let me go and see!"
There seemed to be a trace of despair flashing in the eyes of the Heavenly Emperor on the high platform, but seeing him slowly raise his head, close his eyes, he could not hide his sad voice and said: "Taibai, let her go, she doesn't know." ”
I rode the clouds to the Xuanqiong Palace, and directly an ice cube flew out and smashed the door lock.
I drove straight in, because I was familiar with every room and courtyard here, I searched carefully one by one, there was no Yuan Feng, not even a little fairy waiter!
Is it missing? How could it be? If he had succeeded in overcoming his illness in retreat, he would have come out to look for me! I'm afraid it's already ......
He is gone, he does not come to me, he must be dead.
The living, blood-drenched facts were shockingly thrown before my eyes on the ground, if I hadn't tried my best to save people, how could there be this! He died to save me, and I really want to destroy myself now to accompany him!
"Ice condensation. A gloomy and familiar call behind him was Night Feather.
I haven't seen him for a hundred years, and since Yuan Feng said he was going to retreat a hundred years ago, Night Feather hasn't appeared again, and we just think he is in retreat with Yuan Feng.
As if I had seen a savior, I grabbed his arms. Choked up and asked him, "Ye Yu, where is Yuan Feng? missing, or has it been wiped out?"
"Your Highness is fine, but don't mention it to anyone else. ”
I burst into tears and laughed, "Okay!"
Night Feather quickly ran away, and I didn't know where he went, and he didn't tell me where Genfeng went. He only said that Yuan Feng can't see me yet.
No matter what they're doing, I'm content to know he's alive.
Today's sun seems to be lovelier than in the past 100 years, I stand in the back garden of the palace of love, holding a broom in one hand, and holding my waist in the other, looking up at the warm and cool yellow sun.
"What's so nice about that dazzling eye, if you stare like this, I'm afraid you'll be blind soon. ”
Hearing someone talking behind me, I hurriedly withdrew my gaze. Turning his head to look, he saw the fox squinting at his narrow peach blossom eyes, and he had an expression that made him very uncomfortable in my state.
"What a beautiful day it is, you fox, you don't know how to appreciate it at all. I laughed.
He seemed taken aback, his eyes widened, and he approached me. The head was tilted to the left, then to the right, and finally straightened, and a bright smile that I had never seen in a hundred years: "Very beautiful." The four simple words were a little trembling, and when they were all finished, the smile was never withdrawn.
Also, in the past hundred years, I have never called him a fox, to be precise, I have basically never called him.
It's strange to say, since I knew that Yuan Feng was still alive, Bai Zetu's attitude towards me had changed strangely. Bai Zetu, who has been a lady for a hundred years, began to talk non-stop again, and began to bully Xiao Hei again. And the immortals under the moon are much more enthusiastic about me. Not to mention the fox, who was so flamboyant and uninhibited, suddenly returned to his body like a spring breeze in the night.
In fact, it is not anyone else who has changed, but me.
After that day a hundred years ago, I was in a deep sense of self-reproach all the time, and I was convinced that everyone around me was secretly blaming me in their hearts. Especially Yue Lao, of course I know that Yuan Feng is his favorite junior immortal, and he must hate me so much.
Right now, except for me, none of them knows if Yuan Feng is really missing, whether he is still alive, and the only one who knows is me. And when I knew what was going on, I gradually found that no one had ever blamed me all along.
The discussion of the Yuan Feng in the Nine Heavens has never diminished. Some say he's dead, some say he's missing, and some say he's still in retreat. I was no longer afraid to hear such speculation, but I never joined their discussions.
On this day, the emperor came to the Palace of Love to practice spells with me. In the last ten years, he has used Taiyuan when he and I have been sparring.
The immortals under the moon sometimes watched from the side, and would stroke their beards and snort: "I said that Brother Wuyang, if you take classes to your little apprentices, you can use Taiyuan, you don't even need Taiyuan to descend ordinary demons, tsk." ”
Whenever I heard Yuexian say this, the master was always expressionless, and he wouldn't even give Yuexian an afterglow. Sometimes I was a little embarrassed to see the old man being so neglected, and I would remind the emperor. Then he would say to me in a tone that was neither light nor serious, but he said to me word by word: "Fighting, I am most afraid of being distracted." ”
"Hey, there's no wine, scorching strings, and then help me scoop some fish tank water in Shuide Mansion." The moon fairy leaned back on a chaise longue in the back garden, holding an empty wine jug in one hand and beckoning to the fox lying under the tree with the other.
"Let Bing Ning go, Mu Mo is often in the house, how inappropriate it is for me to grow old as a big man. The fox spit out the grass in his grip and said in a non-salty manner.
In the past hundred years, he has done what he has been asked to do every month. It's just that now that I have regained the spirit of a hundred years ago, I have begun to push things on me again. Anyway, it was him before, and this time it's my turn.
I leaned the broom against the trunk of the tree, took the home-brewed gourd in the old man's hand, and went to Shuide Mansion.
"Pay attention, you need normal fish tank water, but don't scoop up that forgetful water!" The old moon reminded behind me, and I looked back at him helplessly, and by the way, I also looked at the ignorant little black who was lying beside the string, licking a fox claw of the string.
The envoy of the star who answered the door still had a bright and warm face: "Sister Xian'e, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
I blessed him and showed my intentions, and he welcomed me to the inner room with a smile. When I went to the fish tank in Qingshuizhai and scooped the water in the fish tank with a gourd, I quit Yu Xi and asked him not to send me in trouble, I went out by myself, and Yu Xi nodded and left.
Afterwards, I was satisfied with the home-brewed gourd and walked to the door of Shuide Mansion.
Not to mention, the horns of the Water Defu in the mouth of the immortals under the moon are really a horn inside. When I came, I didn't think it was complicated and difficult to walk, but now that I was alone, I couldn't find an exit.
This Shuide Mansion is also the same as the Love Palace, the place is big, and there are few people. Now I don't know where to go, and half of the little fairy maid can't find it, so I have to find the exit by myself.
Suddenly, I saw a garden in front of me, the door was about one person wide, and the green seal above the stone gate was "fish garden".
Because the little door was right on me, I could look through it to the people in front of me.
The man standing on the edge of the fish pond with his hands on his side was facing me, staring slightly down at the water and grinning. Dressed in a silver-gray brocade robe, with bright eyebrows and starry eyes, bright teeth, and a luxurious and arrogant body.
