Chapter 159: The Past (2)
The walls are as pure as snow and there are vivid murals depicting a white-haired old man with wings, holding a wounded bird in his hands, his eyes full of love. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Above the mural are five words: Angel of Justice
The roof of the holy rotunda is adorned with a dazzling array of charms, and strings of pearls hang down.
At the front of the hall, three adjudicators in beaked bird hats and white silk sat upright, holding a small black hammer in their hands.
The king's chair made of bluestone glass was neat, and the dignitaries and dignitaries gathered together, and their eyes fell on a young girl in the corner.
The maiden is locked in an uncapped cage, and the iron pillar of indifference locks her freedom.
Strictly speaking, she was not a maiden, but a forest spirit, a forest spiritβa kind of elf.
In the Star Source Continent, source monsters, humans, and elves are listed as the three high-level beings in the world.
The number of elves is only about one percent of that of humans, but they all have their own unique skills and skills...... And the Mori Essence is known as the most beautiful race in the world.
Xin Wu was no exception, his eyes also fell on the girl's body, it was his beloved sister - Xin Ziyue!
She is still so ethereal, pure and beautiful like the fine snow in the valley, the stream in the mountains and forests, just like the fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world.
No matter where you stand, it always looks like the most unique and beautiful rainbow, dazzling and mesmerizing, and you can't take your eyes off it.
The girl's nose is as delicate as jade porcelain, her thin lips are like the moon, her sharp ears are like the most elegant Persian cat ears, her long green hair is like a waterfall and her waist is vertical, her slightly raised breasts are like undulating mountains, and you can even see the green veins inside through her smooth and white hands.
If there is a kind of beauty that is 360 degrees, all-round, and without dead ends, then this kind of beauty is called Xin Ziyue.
In spring, she is a peony in the sea of flowers, at the end of summer, she is a lotus in the breeze, in the morning of autumn frost, she is an autumn chrysanthemum in the golden field, and on a cold night in winter, she is a red plum in the snow...... But Xin Wu knew that the most beautiful thing about his sister was the talking eyes.
When she is with herself, her bright eyes are just like the brightest stars in the night sky, always exuding a light that does not belong in this space.
And at this moment, that light was sealed by hazy tears, muddy dust, and never returned.
Xin Wu felt a burst of heartache, hatred poured out endlessly, Gu Nei and Gu Wai took away their sister's innocence and happiness, and now they still want to take away their sister's life.
She's just a thirteen-year-old girl!
Ziyue seemed to realize something, and she turned her head to meet Xin Wu's eyes.
The empathetic girl let out an ugly smile and pointed to her green dress, on which there was a glittering, looming light blooming gently.
Others may not see this light, but Xin Wu really knows:
The light is slight, but it's real!
Azusa has a unique fragrance on her body, which can attract butterflies and crystal fireflies, which are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and attach to the skirt, giving off this unique light.
Ziyue once pinched her nose and joked: "Brother, I'm by your side, and light has always been by your side, so don't give up." β
Xin Wu nodded, also gave his sister a smile, and walked towards his own light.
Azusa has a calming power.
As soon as Xin Wu sat down, a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes, holding a golden cane, and wearing silver-rimmed glasses came to Xin Wu's side.
"Gu Nei, you brute will leave me in the way of wheel movement!" Xin Wu glanced at the latter in disgust and said indifferently.
"Little benefactor. Don't be so unkind!" Gu Nei was not annoyed, leaned close to Xin Wu's ear, but said proudly: "If you are interested, you will be honest and silent later."
Truth be told, I've bought everyone here with my almighty money.
You don't have any chance of winning, that's why you were called here.
I'm a name I want to win, a place to marry your sister openly.
After all, I am a person with a head and a face, and it is not good to fall into a forcible woman's reputation.
If you are honest, I will treat you as a younger brother, and you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in this life.
Is this a little bit of my reward for saving your life?"
"I can't afford to repay this, or I will repay you when he has the chance!" Xin Wu said calmly.
"You really don't listen to persuasion, is it a stone?" Gu Nei laughed.
"You really don't understand, are you deaf?" Xin Wu looked surprised.
Gu Nei stood up: "When everyone betrayed their relatives and left, don't blame me for not reminding you. He turned and walked away, a strange smile on his lips.
Xin Wu gritted his teeth and snorted coldly.
......
The cumbersome procedures are like a thick book, turning page after page, the introduction of dignitaries, the general process of the case, the person in charge of adjudicating the case, the basic information of the plaintiff and the defendant, etc., and so on, and so on, and so on, and only after a few hours does the trial of the case gradually begin.
"Silence"
The referee "Mu Lang", who was sitting on the high platform, tapped the jade table with a small hammer, and made a beautiful sound of strings, which was endless.
The sound slowly disappeared like a sinking sunset, and the hall was silent.
"Ask the defendant to state the information. Mu Lang's words were round, his tone was impartial, and he stood up with care.
"Gu Nei, age thirty-four, the richest businessman in Chaolong Town. β
Mu Lang nodded: "Who is the acceptor?"
A square-faced, dead-eyed man stood up and nodded respectfully at Mu Lang.
"Please give a detailed account of what happened. β
The dead fish-eyed man circled around Xin Wu and Ziyue, and said slowly: "My client, Gu Nei and Gu Wai, are brothers, and they went to the Liaoxue Ice Field to collect medicine, but unfortunately met Xin Wu and Xin Ziyue, brothers and sisters who became robbers.
The two of them wanted to steal my client's money, and the even more hateful Ziyue used vicious witchcraft to kill Gu Wai. β
Dead Fish Eye clenched his fists with both hands, facing the sky, with a painful expression: "Heavenly reincarnation, evil has evil retribution."
Today, I ask the light of the ruling to administer justice for my client, so as to comfort the souls of the heavens outside. β
Mu Lang nodded and motioned for the man to sit down.
"Please state the basic information of the plaintiff," Mu Lang looked at Xin Wu.
Xin Wu stood up, seeing this solemn occasion, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he said calmly: "I myself am my own receptionist, named Xin Wu, and I am fourteen years old this year. β
"Why don't you ask for a receptionist?" asked Mu Lang curiously.
"This idiot, there is no one to accept it. This ruling is definitely lost. β
"It's really unfair that a guy like shit has a naturally beautiful sister. β
"This kid is so lucky! But he has a bit of courage to come here. β
"Hmph...... It is even more stupid to have courage and no strategy. β
"Hey, Gu Nei is so blessed! My brother is dead, no one robs him of the family property, if he can marry this beautiful girl, he is really envious of the dead. The people in the hall were talking, and some people even looked at Xin Yue and kept swallowing their saliva.
"Quiet!" Mourang said.
Xin Wu glanced around the hall and sneered, "Because I don't believe in the Celestial Dragons!"
"But you're not an adult, and you don't have credibility to speak. An imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of Mu Lang's mouth, and things seemed to be easier than he imagined.
"It is the experience, not the years, that matures a person. Xin Wu stared at Grand-for-tat, and sneered calmly: "There are many children in Xingyuan who are younger than me, but much stronger than you, and they don't have the right to speak?"
They don't get your approval either?
Or are you unacceptable to be overtaken by a child?"
"Little ghost, you dare to be disrespectful to Lord Mu Lang?!"
"Damn, it's just an ordinary imp with no source power, and he dares to speak wildly. β
The guard at the door held a halberd in his hand and aimed it at Xin Wu's heart.
Mu Lang waved his hand, and the hall fell silent again.
His old face smiled softly, but in Xin Wu's eyes, his dry skin was like a crumpled orange peel, adding a bit of horror.
"There are exceptions to everything, but the light of judgment has the rules of the light of judgment, and here - no exceptions!
You're not an underage, so you don't have a voice. β
"You mean you don't care what I say, you don't think you hear, do you?"
That's exactly what it means. Mu Lang nodded.
"You won't believe what I say?"
"You don't have a say. Mu Lang's tone was firm.
"Talking counts?"
"Do you doubt the honesty and fairness of the Light of Judgment?" Mu Lang was displeased, and his words were a little colder.
"There are so many weapons on the continent that you don't learn, but you prefer to learn swords; If you don't learn to go to the sword, you can learn the sword; There are so many sword moves, you learn to get drunk with a sword; If you don't learn the sword and iron sword, go learn the silver sword!
Finally, you have practiced the martial arts mastery: the drunken silver sword!
Finally, reaching the realm of the unity of man and sword, ---sword man" Xin Wu said coldly.
When everyone reacted, they all laughed, but then they were silent, and Mu Lang's majesty could not be offended.
"Little brute, you dare to be disrespectful to Lord Mu Lang. β
"I will now correct you on the spot. The guards of the hall rushed in a hurry, against Xin Wu's heart.
"Bastard, are you impatient?" Mu Lang blew his beard and glared, his hair standing on end.
"Who is the bastard scolding?"
"Bastard boy scolds you!"
"It's really the bastard boy who scolds me. Xin Wu sneered disdainfully, and retorted: "Since what I said has no credibility, you just don't hear it, why do you care so much?"
If you care, why don't you listen to me? β
Mu Lang was speechless for a moment, and his old face turned red.
After a while, he lowered his face and said, "Presumptuous, this is not a place for you to go wild casually."
You mountain savage, it's a great honor to be here.
If it weren't for Brother Gu Nei giving you a fair chance, you would never have been able to set foot in this holy place in your life.
Here, what I say is the truth!" Mu Lang slapped his hammer, and the debris on the table flew in front of Xin Wu's eyes.
Xin Wu stretched out his hand and grabbed the jade flying chips.
However, the beautiful, broken debris quietly left between the fingers like the shattered hope of this moment.
That's hope that can't be grasped!
Xin Wu laughed like a madman, and the laughter gradually changed from the initial mockery to helpless and sad, then to subtle, silent, and finally to a slight sob.
He is smart and stoic, although he is in the mountains and forests, he also reads books, there is not the slightest ruffian on his body, and he does not even use swear words when he swears.
Now he even regretted his insult to Grand.
The invective did not have any effect, it was a useless move, and this act just showed his cowardice and helplessness at the moment.
The invective had proved that he had been pushed to the edge and that there was no way out, and he felt like a naked man at the moment, at the mercy of the mocking gaze of the crowd.
In the face of the obstacles of the whole world, he is a stubborn teenager who would rather stand and laugh than lie down and cry.
"Forget it, he was scared to tears from us. Gu Nei laughed: "Let's make an exception, can we listen to his defense?"
"Now that Brother Gu Neitai has spoken, let's listen to his words for the time being!"
Xin Wu was stunned, looked at Ziyue, whose face was blurred with tears, and made a difficult decision.
