Chapter 12: Framing
Many immortals looked at each other like torches, wanting to find out what was going on.
Xinghe said firmly: "The last person I saw was Fairy Chu Xue, she gave me the 10,000-year-old wine in her hand, and after I refused, I fell asleep and woke up here."
The gods and immortals moved their gaze to Fairy Chu Xue.
Only the Buddha of the Great Leiyin Temple in the West Heaven sits cross-legged, his hands are folded, his eyes are closed, and the Diamond Sutra is recited in his mouth, and he is not stained with mundane things.
The South China Sea Guanyin Bodhisattva held the jade bottle in his hand, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, knowing the insight.
The Heavenly Emperor's face was gloomy, his eyes sank, and his eyes became deep when he looked at Fairy Chu Xue.
Chu Xue's father, Emperor Wenchang, frowned, and a trace of waves appeared on his calm face, wanting to open his mouth to clear Chu Xue's name.
Fairy Chu Xue smiled enchantingly, and said lightly: "In your opinion, the destruction of the Peach Immortal Tree was done by me, and then blamed you?" I have been born in the Heavenly Palace for thousands of years, I have not destroyed the immortal tree for thousands of years, why do I want to do such a boring thing today, besides, you and I have rarely seen each other, there was no injustice in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, how can you slander me like this? ”
Xinghe's heart fell, there was indeed no evidence to prove his innocence, and he made a timid voice: "The last time I saw it was indeed the Chu Xue Fairy, and I can't remember anything about the rest of it."
Emperor Qingling asked suspiciously, "Where did your wine come from?"
Xinghe looked very confused and said, "The disciple has never drunk."
Emperor Qingling frowned and said solemnly: "If you haven't drunk alcohol, where does the smell of wine come from?"
Xinghe lowered his head and sniffed the clothes on his body, the smell of wine was really strong.
"Fairy Chu Xue gave the 10,000-year-old wine to the apprentice, but the apprentice didn't accept it, and the apprentice didn't know where the taste of the wine came from."
Fairy Chu Xue said coldly: "Don't splash dirty water on me, who knows if you secretly ran to drink and drink fragments, ran to Pan Taoyuan to pick peaches and steal them to improve your spiritual power, and then went crazy and destroyed the fairy tree."
Standing behind the fairy Chu Xue, the green-clothed palace said: "That is, my fairy has no grudges with you, what is your intention to put a trumped-up charge on the head of my fairy?"
The Emperor of Heaven also heard a lot of clues, and the Queen Mother whispered a few words in the Emperor's ear.
The Emperor of Heaven straightened his crown and moved his gaze to the Buddha of the Western Heavens and the Bodhisattva Guanyin of the South China Sea.
Although they are all immortals, after all, Buddhism and Taoism are one family, and it is inconvenient for the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva to participate.
Guanyin is a bodhisattva who saves suffering, her face always shows a smile and compassion, and the Bodhisattva said slightly: "Everything is an opportunity, it cannot be said, it cannot be broken."
The Buddha slowly opened his slightly closed eyes and smiled calmly: "Everything has a way, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and it should be viewed as such."
The Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva played dumb riddles, and the suspicion became even stronger.
"Since the apprentice of the Qingling Emperor mentioned the 10,000-year-old wine, if it is 10,000 years old, if it is not only the god of Jiuzhi Mountain, it can be brewed, and the wine jar he uses to hold wine is also unparalleled in the world, if you find the wine jar, you can find traces" I don't know which immortal put forward an important clue.
Fairy Chu Xue flashed a trace of light that was not easy to detect, and glanced at Gong E beside her, and the green Gong E nodded quietly.
The attention of the immortals at the banquet was all focused on this public case, and no one noticed the subtle movements of this little immortal attendant.
The fairy in red recalled and said, "When the seven of us sisters saw that the fairy tree was destroyed, we didn't have time to care about whether there was an overturned wine jar on the ground, so we just hurriedly brought her back to Yaochi and let the Emperor of Heaven judge it."
The Queen Mother proposed: "Since she is drunk and lying in the Pan Tao Garden, then the wine jar must also be in the garden, why not go to the Pan Tao Garden to explore and see if you can find the overturned wine jar, so that the conclusion will be known."
Emperor Qingling looked gloomy and glanced at Xinghe.
Xinghe responded with his eyes: "Master, believe me!"
The Weaver Fairy walked over and took Xinghe's hand and nodded to Xinghe for comfort.
The Emperor of Heaven and the Queen Mother were surrounded by the stars and the moon to the Pan Tao Garden, and Guanyin Bodhisattva also followed, leaving only the Buddha in the Yao Pond.
Seeing the uprooted immortal trees and the remnants of fruits and flowers all over the ground, the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen Mother were furious.
Seeing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva closed his eyes slightly and recited: "Nan no Amitabha"
The surrounding immortals also sighed.
Looking at the scene in the peach orchard, Xinghe was shocked.
The fairy waiter searched back and forth carefully a few times, but he didn't see the wine jar that fell to the ground.
Fairy Chu Xue pretended to be innocent and said: "Leaving Cangshangshen to live in Jiuzhi Mountain, not asking about mundane things for thousands of years, how can my generation get the wine he brewed himself, on the way to Yaochi, I met the apprentice of Emperor Qingling, and I only said a few words of greeting, and did not say that I wanted to give her a 10,000-year-old wine."
Emperor Wenchang's eyes wrinkled slightly, and he faded into the wind.
Xinghe's eyes were dim, and he was a little pale and weak: "You are lying, I didn't drink alcohol, and I didn't destroy the peach fairy tree."
Fairy Chu Xue approached: "You said that you didn't drink, so what is the explanation for the smell of wine on your body."
"I ......" Xinghe said.
The Emperor of Heaven closed his eyes and tried his best to calm the anger in his heart: "Since there is no evidence to prove your innocence, and when the peach tree was destroyed, you were drunk in the garden, this is an indisputable fact."
The Emperor of Heaven no longer wants to care about who is the real murderer, he needs to find an outlet for his anger, and he only blames Xinghe for being unlucky.
There are still people talking about it in private.
"The peach tree is so precious, after three flowering periods, it can only bear fruit after 10,000 years."
"But it's not, the queen mother put these peach trees on the tip of her heart, and now it's ruined, the Jade Emperor will definitely not let go of the emperor's apprentice."
"I don't know if it's the emperor's apprentice who did it......
"Come on, bring her to Zhusentai for me." The Heavenly Emperor's thunderous voice resounded through the sky, completely ignoring the feelings of the Qingling Emperor.
Guanyin Bodhisattva wanted to ask for mercy, pinched his fingers, calculated a hexagram, and knew that the galaxy had this calamity, so he gave up.
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Fairy Chu Xue's eyes.
Bang knock.
The Weaver Girl Fairy knelt on the ground and pleaded: "The Emperor of Heaven is clear, why not give a few more days, until the truth is clarified, it is not too late to convict Xinghe."
The Emperor of Heaven didn't care.
The galaxy was held by two heavenly soldiers and generals, the starlight in his eyes was dim, his expression was numb, and he had no perception.
Moving to change the scene, the gods came to Zhuxiantai, and the two heavenly soldiers and generals were ordered to push the galaxy down Zhuxiantai.
Qingling Emperor's face was forbearing, his cheeks were tense, knowing that it was useless to intercede at this moment, the moment Xinghe was pushed down from Zhuxiantai, Qingling Emperor Jun also jumped.
The gods were shocked.
Fairy Chu Xue looked at the moment when Xinghe was pushed down, her heart was very happy, and when she saw Emperor Qingling jumping down, her heart sank, and she approached Zhuxiantai and was about to jump down, but was pulled back by her father.
Fairy Chu Xue cried sadly as if she had lost her soul.
Avalokiteshvara revealed a perceptive countenance.
Just as the gods and immortals sighed and regretted, they vaguely saw a slender light flashing up from under Xuxian Terrace.
Fairy Chu Xue suddenly stopped crying after seeing that it was the Qingling Emperor, and laughed happily, and then saw the Qingling Emperor holding the galaxy with his eyes closed in his arms, and his face sank again, as if he was happy and sad.
The Weaver Girl Fairy saw the Qingling Emperor holding the galaxy, and turned from sadness to joy.
Layers of chill swept over the Qingling Emperor's body, and he said in a cold tone: "If the Emperor of Heaven is punished, I will not escape the blame as a master, even if the Emperor of Heaven's punishment is to push Xinghe down to Zhuxiantai, Xinghe has also been punished, and now I only have half a life left, I don't know if the Emperor of Heaven can spare her."
The Heavenly Emperor looked at the Qingling Emperor and the Xinghe he was holding, both of them were burned by the Red Lotus Karma Fire, the Xinghe cultivation was still shallow, it was difficult to resist the Red Lotus Karma Fire, the skin on his body and face was burned, and the Qingling Emperor had spiritual power to protect the body was just some skin trauma.
Heavenly power cannot be violated by anyone, and the Heavenly Emperor is a symbol of authority.
The Emperor's face was uncertain, he stroked his beard and said: "The punishment has been made, the emperor cherishes the apprentice, and rescues her regardless of the danger to her life, since she is the emperor's apprentice, for the emperor's sake, you can spare her life, but there is one condition, she will go wherever she comes from, and the heavenly court will not tolerate her."
Emperor Qingling looked at the galaxy in his arms, where most of his face was destroyed, and he was full of anger.
The emperor, who has never seen such a look, is really shocking.
Qingling Emperor Jun said coldly: "Xinghe was injured by the Red Lotus Karma Fire and her heart and spirit, and when her injuries heal, she will be allowed to leave Heavenly Court."
In this way, the Emperor of Heaven pondered and said, "That's it, that's it, then according to the emperor's will."
The starlight in Emperor Qingling's eyes flickered and dimmed, and he said: "Since they all think that the destruction of the immortal tree in Pan Tao Yuan was done by my apprentice, as her master, I will bear the responsibility, and what Pan Tao Yuan was in the original state, I will restore it to what it was."
The gods and immortals were shocked.
Hearing this, Fairy Chu Xue approached the Qingling Emperor and pulled the corner of his clothes to stop him: "No, you can't do this, doing so will make you..."
"You stay away from me, I don't want to see you," Emperor Qingling took the trouble to coldly interrupt Fairy Chu Xue's words.
Fairy Chu Xue only felt the piercing coldness in her heart.
The Weaver Girl Fairy looked at the Qingling Emperor in shock and said: "Emperor, you can't help it, using immortal power to forcibly resurrect the peach tree is a counter-act, which will not only damage your cultivation, but may also suffer backlash."
Emperor Qingling naturally knew it in his heart, but he had made up his mind, and the Heavenly Emperor and the Queen Mother couldn't stop it.
The gods in the Yao Pond were in an uproar.
