Chapter 279: No Return to the Temple
Since there was no way to avoid it, Su Liruo could only stubbornly admit it, and she took a few steps forward. Because of the steep slope of the terrain, she was on a high position, and she stood alone like this, which made her whole person quite vibrant.
And they lifted up their eyes to her; Dressed in white, pure and flawless, the placket swings with the wind, flying and dancing. Look at her again; The world is full of beauty, the eyebrows are poetic, the eyes are soft, the corners of the mouth are cold, and the eyes are like Shun. The silk hair is slightly pulled, the front bun is crowned, and the back is scattered vertically, like a waterfall and tilting, without a hairpin. She's like that; Ethereal and beautiful, such as the orchid of the valley, such as the elegant bamboo, such as the eternal scenery, such as the nine-fold flying immortal.
Looking at the festival yesterday, I couldn't see her face clearly, but she was vaguely dressed in white and soft, beautiful and picturesque. At this moment, the warm sun is brilliant, shining like a shining light, stunning everyone's eyes. Everyone held their breath, their eyes unshifting, looking up with respect, waiting for things to settle down.
Han Cuo looked at her and stood against the light, fully presenting himself, he did not stop him, his eyes were still fixed on her back, as if he was deeply imprinted with the eternity of this moment, and from then on he entered his heart.
Mu Zhi looked at her sideways, both shocked by her actions and admiring her courage. She didn't know all about Su Liruo, and she didn't know anything about many details. She only knew that the extinct colorful glow had reappeared, and Su Liruo had just fallen. She was convinced of Han Cuoyu, and she was willing to do everything he had. Including Su Liruo's matter, even if she gave fifty percent of her spiritual power, she would bear it calmly without complaining.
In fact, during the time when she took care of Su Liruo, Mu Zhi knew better than anyone else. Where Su Liruo is different, her celestial appearance, and where she stands out, she has profound skills, and then she has fifty percent spiritual power. Despite this, she is still just an ordinary woman among all living beings, how can she be a mortal goddess?
She couldn't doubt it, let alone delve into it, and all the spearheads of interest were aimed at Han Cuo.
Mu Zhi didn't know what happened overnight, but Su Liruo's sudden change of attitude, as well as Han Cuo's subtle eyes, suppressed her almost out of breath.
Su Liruo was dazzling against the light, and the clan elders bowed down, bowing their heads and not daring to look directly. They are afraid that they will defile their holiness, and they are afraid that they will anger the signs of heaven and ruining, and then bring calamity. Just like thirty years ago, the Celestial Maiden disappeared out of thin air, and the guards of the temple disappeared, and the divine doctors of the clan were also taken away. Since then, there have been many disasters in the clan, and there has been no peaceful day.
"Welcome back to the Celestial Maiden and guard the temple!" The earnest tone of the clan elders was pious and dignified.
"Welcome back to the Celestial Maiden and guard the temple!" The voices of the people behind him were boiling, shaking through the valley, causing the birds to scream and pierce the ears.
Su Liruo was cramped and uneasy, such a scene was something she didn't expect, she frowned and turned sideways slightly.
Han Cuoyu behind him seemed to know her actions, and with a look, he motioned for A-Yuan to step forward.
Ah Yuan hurriedly walked over to Su Liruo's side and said softly, "Sister, the clan elders are asking you to return to the temple..."
"A-Yuan!" Su Liruo leaned back slightly, and said in a low voice: "You let Han Cuo come over!" ”
"Okay." Ah Yuan hurriedly moved a few steps back, returned to Han Cuoyu's side, and passed her words to him: "Patriarch, sister let you go." ”
Han Cuo was slightly stunned, and sighed secretly: She is always so uneasy, everyone is watching, don't you know how to avoid suspicion? Despite his apprehensions, he strode away.
The clan elders looked at Han Cuo in surprise, their eyes stunned and grim.
"Han Cuoyu, I'm scared!" Before he could speak, Su Liruo whispered, "What do they want from me?" ”
One sentence completely disturbed Han Cuo's calm and static heart again, and he raised his eyes and met her panicked gaze, which shook his heart in an instant.
"Liruo!" A soft cry interrupted Han Cuo's speech, and he stopped. He also paused Su Liruo when he couldn't help but raise his hand to grab his palm, bounced back suddenly, and hurriedly lowered his arm.
Mu Zhi stepped forward slowly, stood on the other side of Su Liruo, smiled, and said softly: "You hurry up and let the clan seniors and many clansmen go!" ”
"I..." Su Liruo looked at Mu Zhi, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "How should I respond?" ”
A gloomy and slightly sharp gaze came over, Mu Zhi was stunned, and sighed lightly: "The clan elders let you enter the temple immediately, I'm afraid that Zhou Zuo won't be able to do it this time..." ”
Immediately? Su Liruo was in a trance, she thought that she had inherited the identity of the Heavenly Maiden first, and then she would find a way to solve it when things slowed down. Unexpectedly, the matter was imminent, and the clan elders and everyone seemed to have no time to delay.
Su Liruo turned around and asked eagerly, "Han Cuo, if I enter the temple, will I never be able to get out again?" ”
Han Cuo glanced at her anxious face, and a tingle opened in his heart, at this time, any words were pale and weak, weak and insignificant.
"Yes, once the Heavenly Maiden enters the temple, she is not allowed to return to the clan in this life, otherwise, it will be regarded as a disaster and will be dealt with according to the clan rules." Mu Zhi's gentle and soft voice sounded.
fell into Su Liruo's ears, but it was a sharp and piercing sound, which made her extremely uncomfortable, and her face changed greatly.
"But..."Mu Zhi's voice became softer and softer, like a gentle breeze. If you resist and cause the anger of your people, you will be harmed..."
Su Liruo's heart was shocked, and he looked at Han Cuoyu in a daze, and after a while, he said in a low and inaudible whisper: "Okay, enter the temple immediately!" ”
"Liruo!" Mu Zhi apologized lightly, in fact, she was not willing to force her to accept by such means. However, she knows the stakes very well. Therefore, she can't sit idly by, stand by and watch, Ren Hancuo is soft-hearted to her, and ruin herself in one fell swoop!
The cold cuo, who has always been silent, the light in his eyes reflects the cold cold, and he doesn't know how deep the face under the mask should be? But no one knew.
Mu Zhi knew that she had touched his scales, and since he came out, she had been getting along for nearly two years, and although she couldn't figure out his thoughts and temper, she still knew a thing or two. The more calm he is, the more angry he becomes, and even if he is angry, he will not easily reprimand. But the gloomy and cool aura exuded from his body was so strong that people were frightened and trembled.
Mu Zhi clearly felt that the gap between her and him had finally cracked, this gap was originally not big, but it had always existed. As for the source of this gap, others do not know. thought that the marriage of the patriarchs of the past dynasties was according to the laws of the clan, and Han Cuo had to marry the best of the clan. Mu Zhi knew that Han Cuo's promise to be close to her was not because of clan rules, let alone her identity as the leader of the first elegance. It's the old patriarch ... Her uncle, he, had to agree, and this was the gap between him and her.
She has always understood that she is more sober than anyone else, and Han Cuo has no affection for her, but only sees her as a helper. After all, since he was a child, he has been closed and has no knowledge of the affairs of the clan, and Mu Zhi's ability can take charge of it alone, helping him handle everything in an orderly manner, starting and ending well.
Between her and him, I still can't tell what kind of emotion it belongs to? is relatively deeper than Ah Yuan, more than the appreciation of Ah Xin, and surpasses the respect of the clan elders. There is no tender affection!
Later, she finally realized what kind of affection he had for her, a partner who could walk side by side, a friend who could go hand in hand. Of course, if you have to set an identity, she is more like a manager who can put her heart in her heart and worry about the future, but she is not a lady who has not passed through the door.
has always maintained a relationship between teacher and friend, Mu Zhi can't improve one step forward, but no one can shake her identity and status.
Mu Zhi thought that it was okay, at least he couldn't do without her in this life, even if he didn't have the affectionate favor she craved, but the position next to him would always be hers.
Now, she has crushed nearly two years of hard work and wasted it. She completely cracked the original cracks, and she was afraid that in the days to come, no matter how hard she tried, she would not be able to repair them.
Mu Zhi's heart was very blocked, she desperately endured the discomfort, full of grievances. But she doesn't regret it, give her another chance, she will still say to Su Liruo: I'll send you! If you don't go into the temple... It will affect Ah Mi!
She is intimately connected to him, and she will be him and only him for the rest of her life.
Mu Zhi said secretly: So... Ah Yan, since you have opened the source of the lie, although the process was forced by the clan seniors, then I will be the last villain! I will do my best to bring this matter to a close point myself.
A faint smile rose at the corner of Su Liruo's mouth, and she greeted Mu Zhi's apology, as if she wanted to resolve her embarrassment, so she said softly: "Then please Mu Zhi... Send me there! ”
Mu Zhi bowed her head, her eyes flowed with deep meaning, if Su Li knew how to advance and retreat in a timely manner, and judge the pros and cons of the situation, she deeply admired her. This seemingly soft and delicate woman is actually strong and resolute, which is incomparable to ordinary men.
"Let's go!" Mu Zhi made a gesture of please, and her tone was decisive and decisive.
Su Liruo bowed slightly to everyone, then took heavy steps, shook in front of Han Cuo, and passed by. Suddenly, a trace of warmth entered her palm, raising her heart, and she glanced down, it turned out that her fingertips touched his fingertips and robbed him of the residual warmth.
Han Cuo's calm mask was still calm and calm, without any waves, and even a little indifferent.
"Sister!" Ah Yuan whispered sadly.
Su Liruo glanced at him and looked at his face full of reluctance, his big black eyes wet. She smiled softly, her eyes were slightly moist, she was also very reluctant to take care of her and give her a gentle young man like a relative.
Suddenly, Su Liruo withdrew his gaze, stepped into the wind, and glanced towards the temple.
Mu Zhi was silent and followed.
Everyone watched, one in front of the other, two delicate and delicate backs, gorgeous countless pairs of eyes, the scenery full of mountains and peaks are inferior.
"Patriarch..."Ah Yuan tugged at Han Cuo's slightly raised cuffs, and his tone was a little begging, but he didn't dare to say it.
The tense shoulders under the cold and dark wind finally trembled, and the indifferent deep eyes released the melancholy little by little, and the look was sad.
Ah Xin quietly pulled Ah Yuan aside, this keen and intelligent young man, thinking about the patriarch's thoughts, also saw the patriarch's loss.
"Patriarch!" The clan elders watched the figures of Su Liruo and Mu Zhi disappear at the door of the temple, and they came to Han Cuoyu one after another.
Han Cuo hid his emotions and said in a deep voice: "Let the clansmen disperse!" ”
"Yes." A clan elder answered, turned around and ordered the wizard to dismiss everyone down the mountain.
"Patriarch," said another patriarch, "the return of the Celestial Maiden to guard the temple is the expectation of all. But there is one thing that must be decided by the patriarch..."
"What?" Han Cuo's brows furrowed, and he asked in a cold voice, "Now that she has entered the temple, what questions do the clan elders have?" ”
"The Heavenly Maiden entered the temple to pray for the blessings of our people and restore the prosperity of the past, and she made great contributions." An elder of the clan at the back said in a loud voice: "The Heavenly Maiden has a heavy responsibility, and she must not make a difference in the pool, according to the usual practice, a person who guards the temple should be selected to protect the Heavenly Maiden." ”
After hearing this, Han Cuo pondered, and couldn't help but raise his eyes melodiously, glancing at the majestic temple under the sun, his heart moved, nodded, and said: "What the clan elder said is that this matter cannot be delayed, and the people who guard the temple should be selected as soon as possible. ”
The entrance to the temple.
Su Liruo looked up, and the roof of the building was mottled and faceless, like a frustrated old age, rendering the sadness of parting. The carved beams live around the building, after a hundred years of wind and frost, the vicissitudes of life and loneliness, with the withered and unfailing desertion, looking at the tossing and turning of the annual rings in the world, it is still entrenched in the majestic momentum.
Su Liruo looked at the ancient temple, bearing a hundred years of tribulation, how much time has been lost, and the long years have been lost. She was suddenly in awe, stepped on the steps in front of the door, and walked away step by step.
When she stretched out her hands to push open the thick door, the door that weighed a hundred pounds fell and exhausted all her strength.
Mu Zhi watched her walk into the door, didn't dare to take another look, turned around and hurried away. When she returned to Biquan Yan, everyone had been dismissed back, even the clan elders and witch gods had left, leaving only Han Cuo and the three of them standing in place.
Mu Zhi stood still for a moment, and was about to speak, but when she heard the cold and said, "You go back first!" ”
"What about you?" Mu Zhi saw that he was calm as usual, and finally landed on the ground with a big stone in her heart, "It's been a busy day and a night, and you're tired, let's go back together!" ”
Han Cuoyu kept turning sideways, with his back to Mu Zhi, looking at him looking up, he didn't know where to look? did not respond to Mu Zhi.
There were two teenagers standing beside him, and Ah Xin put his arm around Ah Yuan's shoulders, as if to comfort him. And Ah Yuan was in an unusually low mood, he was so hearty in the past, and he was not close to Mu Zhi, he didn't even look at her, and it was impossible to talk to her.
Mu Zhi had a delusion in her heart: they were all blaming her?
But she didn't provoke it! She tried her best to help them deal with the aftermath, but they wanted her, an innocent person, to bear the grievances!
At this moment, Mu Zhi was uneasy, her heart was unsettled, she bit her lip, and was stunned.
"Ah Zhi, there are many things in the clan that you need to deal with, go back!" The warm winter breeze blowing the cold and indifferent voice reached Mu Zhi's ears: "I will rest in Co Xuan today and go back tomorrow." ”
