Chapter 4: Return to the Dilemma
I tried to restrain myself and read it quietly. I closed my eyes, not knowing how to trust people anymore, not even knowing who was real and who was fake. At this time, Xuan Yu asked me there, "Chenchi, have you found it?"
I hurriedly stuffed the book back in, calmed down a bit, pretended to be calm, and said, "I'm not looking for it yet, you can look for you again." "You must not let Xuan Yu see that content.
Because she didn't find anything useful, Xuan Yu became impatient and said, "I won't look for it today, let's go quickly, or we won't be discovered." ”
Looking at the sky outside, I didn't expect the time to be so fast, I answered, got up and prepared to leave. Before leaving, Xuanyu and I tidied up the interior as if it had just come in. I watched Xuanyu relock the lock before leaving with confidence. On the way, I asked Xuan Yu and said, "This time you should tell what you came here to investigate, right?"
Xuan Yu lowered her head and looked at the road, and said, "I want to take a look at the matter of the three of them competing for the position of the realm lord at that time. I always felt like every one of them was lying, because what they said didn't connect at all. I really can't doubt the father I've believed in for so long, but I still think he's the most important. ”
When I saw Xuan Yu like this, she had really never been so disappointed, so I said, "I do have a connection with the domain domain." ”
When she heard this, she hurriedly asked, "How do you know?"
I was afraid that she would know that I had just read "The Broken Spirit Chronicle", so I hurriedly explained, saying, "Because because the domain leader is the eldest of their brothers, it must have something to do with him, right?"
Xuanyu listened and nodded, as if she believed my statement. I was relieved because I had been shivering with the scare, and then I realized how cold it was. I remembered that the domain leader said, don't talk about this matter anymore, I'm afraid Xuanyu will forget.
"Xuan Yu, let's not come in the future, after all, the domain leader said that we won't be talking about everything about this matter. You think, when the time comes, if you are discovered, you don't know how you will be punished. ”
Xuanyu listened, thought about it again, and felt that my words were very right, so she replied to me: "Yes, I didn't expect it. Then you don't have to talk about this in the future, your mouth is the most unreliable. I smiled at her and said yes.
When I went to that road, I thought it was very long, but I didn't expect to arrive home soon, maybe it's because I'm familiar with the road. We whispered goodbye downstairs, she went to her room, and I went back to mine. When I went upstairs, I thought: In the future, don't make any more trouble, it's still good to go by day by day. But just like the domain leader said, some things just don't go as people want.
When I went back, somehow, I suddenly became ill. This disease, I was sick for half a month, and because of my weak body, I needed to recuperate, and I didn't go out for about two months. Two months later, my body was recuperating better than before, but I didn't expect the outside world to be the same. In both months, I didn't let anyone near me. I kept snuggling up in my bed, and even the clothes I wore last time were hanging on the hanger and no one touched them.
Early this morning, I felt a little better in my body, and I felt that if I didn't move any longer, I would turn into a stone statue. I slowly groped my way to the edge of the bed, got up little by little, and moved down the stairs. I slowly descended the stairs and saw Yu Ling sitting at the door, holding his cigarette gun and gently spitting out a cloud of smoke. I walked over and said, "Domain Leader." "Because I'm sick, my voice is very small, but I still hear it.
Yu Ling turned his head to look at me, and found that I had not yet put on heavy clothes, so he hurriedly took off his clothes and put them on for me, and said as he put them on for me: "Why did you come down? You have to rest well, your clothes are still so little, it will not be good if you are seriously ill." I sat down with him and said, "I have been lying down for two months, I should go for a walk, and if I don't go again, I will become a stone statue." ”
Hearing my words, the domain leader laughed, choked on the smoke again, and coughed there.
He smiled and said, "In that case, you can stand up more, it's okay anyway." ”
I let out an "um", sat there looking at the place where the domain leader had just looked, and asked, "What is the domain leader looking at, so distracted?"
Yu Ling took a puff of his cigarette and said, "It's nothing, it's just thinking about your divine sacrifice in the near future." Immediately, everything will be known. ”
I was about to ask what I would know, but seeing that the domain leader didn't want to mention it again, I closed the mouth that had just opened.
We all stopped talking, we were all silent, all afraid of disturbing the silence. After a long time, the domain leader suddenly began to speak, and he said, "Something big is going to happen. ”
I looked at him, not understanding what he was talking about, and I asked him, "Domain Leader, what do you mean by that?"
Yu Ling closed his eyes and said, "It's nothing, you go back quickly, you will know when the time comes, if you are sick, how will you know when the time comes." ”
I thought his words were reasonable, so I went upstairs and went to take care of my illness.
After a long time, it seemed that it was already the end of spring, and the sky was completely warm. I'm already well, and outsiders can't tell that I've ever been sick. After a while, Xuanyu came up and entered my room. She looked at my old clothes and said, "Your clothes are already very dirty, and you don't have to wear such heavy clothes now, I'll go wash them for you." ”
She dropped her new clothes and went to get my old ones. I didn't take it seriously, and when Xuanyu was about to touch my clothes, I remembered the secret in my clothes.
I hurried over to stop her, saying, "Don't take it!"
But Xuan Yu had already picked it up, and when she saw me like this, she hurriedly turned around. Just as she turned her body, she rolled out the paper inside. I thought, this time I'm really finished. Out of curiosity, Xuan Yu picked up the piece of paper and looked at it. As a result, her face changed color, which was scary. She looked around, saw that there was no one, and reprimanded sharply, "Where did you come from this?
Seeing that I was struggling, she hurriedly pulled me over and pulled my arm painfully. I looked at her and asked, "What the hell is going on, isn't it just a piece of paper?"
Xuan Yu still refused to let me go, and said, "Where did the hell come from?"
I was embarrassed to say that I had stolen it from the library, so I said to her, "I picked it up from a random place." I don't remember where, really, you have to trust me. ”
Xuan Yu still didn't believe my words, and kept repeating the question just now: "Where did it come from?"
I couldn't stand her strong questioning since I was a child, so I had to confess that I stole it from the library. Xuanyu listened to it and asked, "Really, I don't believe it, you look into my eyes and say it again." ”
I stared at her and said, "I really got it from the library, I found it on the ground at the time, I looked at the strange font, so I took a look." ”
This time, she seemed to believe me. She strode over to her desk, picked up the fire, and lit it. When it burned out, Xuan Yu turned around and said to me, "You really don't know these words?"
I nodded.
Xuan Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "These are the words of the Demon Clan, and my father once told me not to approach these words, because these words will bring you death. You are already suspected by everyone, if this matter is spread, I think you will not be able to get rid of the charge of being a spy of the Demon Clan for the rest of your life. ”
Listening to her words scared me, I was really close to dying. I looked at Xuanyu and didn't know what to say. At this time, Xuan Yu spoke first, and she said: "Chenchi, in fact, there is one thing that neither my father nor I mentioned to you, because you were still sick at that time. Now that you are cured, I think it is necessary to tell you. I nodded, motioning for her to continue.
"Originally, people didn't have a very good impression of you. Of course, you did the right thing, but the mistake is that you have the mark of the Demon Clan on your body, and everyone has to guard against it. Now, you've lured the soldiers of the Demon Clan to the mountains, causing the entire Guan Yun Domain to be threatened. They have been suspicious of you, and now these things have happened, so they think "Xuanyu can't seem to say it anymore, but she doesn't say it, and I understand what it is."
I said, "They're trying to drive me away, right?"
Xuan Yu nodded, shook her head again, she opened her mouth, but said nothing. I know she's feeling bad right now. I asked her, "What do you mean? Do you want to chase me away? Oh, no, it's 'please let me go.'" ”
Xuan Yu bit her lip and opened her mouth to say, "No, absolutely not, you are my younger brother, my only younger brother, how could I." ”
I listened to Xuan Yu's words and said, "Actually, how you would answer, it's acceptable to me, anyway, I've added enough chaos to the domain leader's family." ”
I packed everything and prepared to leave.
I passed by Xuanyu's side, turned around and went down the stairs, and I heard Xuanyu's crying, crying. I didn't cry, I didn't cry every time I was surrounded by others, I didn't cry like I was beaten up by someone else, I knew that I wasn't qualified to cry. When I walked down the last step, I turned around and drove the staircase that I had walked for sixteen years, nearly sixteen years to be exact.
Yu Ling stood at the top of the stairs, looked at me, and asked, "Where are you going?"
I glanced at him and said, "Go where I'm supposed to be." Yu Ling looked at me in surprise, then at the things I had packed, and immediately changed his face. He snatched my luggage and shouted upstairs, "Xuan Yu, you come down for me!" I looked at Yu Ling with aggrieved eyes, begging him with my eyes, begging me to leave this place of right and wrong.
Then, I heard a slow sound coming downstairs, it was Xuan Yu. Her face was pale, and tears were still hanging on her face. Yu Ling suddenly stepped forward and slapped her, I hurriedly stopped Yu Ling and said, "Yu Ling, what's wrong with you, don't hit her." ”
Xuanyu covered her face and began to sob. The domain leader completely ignored what I said, and said to Xuan Yu: "You still have the face to cry? Didn't I say it, don't let Chen Chi know." Don't you know the seriousness of this matter, do you have to hurt Chenchi?"
I stood between the two of them, not knowing what to say, so I looked at the two of them, hoping that the quarrel would end quickly. Xuan Yu, who had been silent, suddenly said: "I don't mean to drive Chen Chi away, I just want him to know the seriousness of some things, he has affected the entire Guan Yunyu, who made him be"
"Enough! Say no more, go back quickly, don't say any more. ”
Xuanyu covered her face and went back, still angry when she left. I was stopped by the domain leader again, and every time I talked about who I was, I would be interrupted by the domain leader, like a coincidence, but not like.
Yu Ling watched Xuanyu's departure, took a breath, and said to me, "You can go out with me, it's good to clarify." ”
The domain leader turned and left, and I followed him and went to the square together. We came to the middle of the square, and I saw a lot of people, and I think most of them should have arrived. It seems that the domain leader came prepared this time.
I followed the domain leader to stand on a platform under the sacred tree, just as the domain leader said, we are here to clarify. Yu Ling looked at the crowd in the audience and said, "I said, I will give you an explanation." Now, Tatsu is late, at least proving that he won't be afraid. If he really did something, he would not dare to prove everything under the sacred tree. ”
The Sacred Tree, the Sacred Tree that I have believed in for nearly sixteen years, I hope it will prove my innocence.
Seeing that everyone had no objections, Yu Ling turned around and said to me, "Don't be afraid, it'll be fine for a while." ”
The domain leader took my hand and pressed it against the thick bark of the sacred tree. The domain leader knelt down in front of everyone, and he said to the Divine Tree, "Holy Cultivator, please use the Divine Tree that you have gathered with your power to prove the innocence of this young man." ”
The domain leader made a gesture under the sacred tree, stood up, and looked up at the top of the tree.
Everyone went to look at the top of the tree, and I looked at the top of the tree curiously, not knowing what they were looking at. I watched there for a long time, but there was still no movement, and the crowd began to be agitated, and they were obviously impatient. The domain leader's brow furrowed. I bowed my head, and it seemed that the heavens were not willing to shelter me. At this time, I felt an inexplicable feeling, I looked up and saw a green leaf falling from the tree, slowly, falling on my forehead, I blew with my mouth, and it fell to the ground again.
The domain leader saw it and hurriedly picked it up from the ground. He took a closer look and immediately burst out laughing. I've always been curious that this tree has never withered or lost its leaves for as long as I can remember. The domain leader held up the leaf, let everyone take a look, and said, "See, the Cultivation Divine Monarch has chosen his innocence." At this time, another voice appeared in the crowd and said, "This is just your side of the story, no one knows what the Divine Monarch wants to say." ”
Looking in the direction of the sound, it is the sea. It was him again, and it was he who pushed me into the abyss of distrust every time. I ran over, stepped off the stage, and asked, "What evidence do you have that I'm from the Demon Clan?"
When Shahai heard this, he didn't know what words to use to answer me, because he didn't have any evidence to prove that I was from the Demon Clan, so he didn't dare to talk nonsense. He asked me in turn, and he said, "Then what proof do you have to prove that you are not from the Demon Clan? I'm afraid not, at present, it seems that all your characteristics prove that you are from the Demon Clan." ”
I knew he was talking about the black mark on my forehead, and I didn't know how to argue with it for a while. I looked at the crowd, and their eyes were the same as Shahai's, all of them agreeing that I was a bad person. Seeing that I was speechless, Chahai continued: "Look at the days you have come, it is a mistake. Although I have only been here for a year or two, in the past two years that I have been here, you have not stopped for a moment and caused trouble everywhere. You have brought disaster to us Guan Yunyu, you ominous person. ”
His words drove me to the edge of the cliff, and I felt that I had stood on top of the rumors and was about to fall into the abyss. A word from the domain leader broke this situation and saved me.
