Chapter 5: Lies and Betrayal
"When it comes to the next month, after the Chenchi God Festival, everything will be known. "I heard it being the domain leader's voice, and everyone turned to look at the domain leader, including me. We looked at him for a long time before the domain leader continued, and he said, "After the divine sacrifice, all family characteristics will be revealed. "Domain Leader's words saved me from the edge of the cliff, and I looked into his eyes, and his eyes were full of trust.
I smiled back at him with a grateful smile, and he smiled back at me. This smile is so subtle that only we can detect it. I looked at everyone and said, "Believe me, next month, everything will be known." Although they still couldn't accept this answer, they still didn't say anything for the sake of the domain leader's face.
It seems to me that every time I am under suspicion from the whole domain, the domain leader will stand up and prove that I am nothing but an ordinary person. I looked at the dust that was being stepped on by people and flew up, and I thought that they were really surviving under extreme fear, maybe I was really disturbing their peaceful life changes.
Later, I followed Yu Ling back to my home and decided never to go out again, waiting until a month later, to face the disturbed world again. I nestled in my room and suddenly remembered the round bone in my clothes. The garment, because of the accident just now, was not washed, but fell on the floor. I stepped forward and picked it up from the ground, blanketed it off the dust, and shook it. I reached for my pocket, hoping to reach for it.
Sure enough, it was still there, because it was mixed with the pocket, so it was not brought down because of Xuanyu's movements. I held it in the palm of my hand and wondered what it was for. I looked at it for a long time, and then I realized that it was not a spherical bone, it was a stone with no material to see, but it didn't want to be a stone, like something that never existed.
I put it on the bed and lay there looking at it, hoping to see what the doorway was. It's a pity that I watched it for a long time and gained nothing. I heard someone coming upstairs with rhythmic footsteps. I hurriedly stuffed the stone into my new clothes, afraid that Xuanyu would have to wash the clothes. The person who came up, sure enough, was still Xuan Yu, she looked at me silently, not daring to speak.
I asked her, "What are you doing here?" She opened her mouth and said, "I'm sorry, Chenchi, I was so excited just now, that's why you know, there are so many things that have happened these days." I listened and said to her, "All right, you don't have to say it, I understand." I understand what you have done for me, and I will make up for it. ”
Xuan Yu stepped forward and said excitedly: "You don't understand, I don't care, but I watched my father bear all this for you, how uncomfortable my heart is, you will never understand." Do you know, we here, in fact, every year, people from the Demon Clan come to interfere with our lives, but my father doesn't want to tell you. You won't understand it at all, because you're going to have your glory and riches and you're going to forget about us people right away, so I just hope you don't mess with us anymore. ”
Listening to her words, he asked, "I won't, never." I want to tell you, even if tomorrow is the end of Guan Yunyu, I will not leave anyone to survive. But I just want to ask you a question, what you just said is really your true words?" Xuan Yu was stunned and nodded. I also suddenly understood, understood that my existence was actually a mistake, that I was indeed an ominous person. I think that in the days to come, I will not disturb the peaceful life that Xuanyu wants.
For a month, it was fast and slow, but now, it has arrived. Just in the morning, as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Yu Ling sitting next to me, I quickly sat up and asked, "Yu Ling, what are you doing here?" Yu Ling smiled from this and said, "Have you forgotten what day it is?" I quickly thought about it, and suddenly thought about it, I said, "It's so fast, it's been a month, it's really fast." "Time flies, I haven't seen anyone in a month.
Yu Ling looked at the clothes next to my bed and said, "How can you wear old clothes today, I'll give you a new one." "He tried to pick up his old clothes, but I got ahead of him. I took my clothes and said, "Okay, I'm an adult today, I'd better wash my clothes myself." Also, I think it's good to wear this dress today, otherwise people will think that I am always surprised and think that I am useless. Hearing my words, Yu Ling smiled and said, "Okay, listen to you today." ”
Today is my birthday, and not only I am looking forward to it, but everyone else is also looking forward to it. Because, today can just prove whether I am a member of the Demon Clan or not. I got up from the bed, walked to the ground, put on my shoes, and went downstairs step by step. On the stairway, I heard a discussion outside, it was Yuan He, Xuan Yu, and Yu Ling. Their voices were very small, but alas, I heard them anyway. I leaned against the wall, close together, and with the experience of the last eavesdropping, I was not afraid at all.
"Father, why do you have to make such a big announcement today, anyway, Chenchi is going to leave soon, won't everything be over by then?" This is Xuan Yu's voice, her voice is like an awl, cone to the most painful place in my heart, it turns out, she has never regarded me as a relative. Yu Ling, he didn't speak, but Yuan He spoke, he said: "Yu Ling, otherwise the people in the domain will make trouble, I think it's better to drive him out." ”
This time, Yu Ling replied, and he said, "Let's do what I said last month." Otherwise, Yan Ze would not let us go easily, he was so relieved of me that he even handed Lan Yun into my hands. "Lan Yun is really still in the hands of the domain leader, but why didn't he hand it over to keep Guan Yunyu safe, I don't know. Yuan He heard this sentence and said, "Lan Yun? Sure enough, she is still here? God, if we don't hand it over, won't the world be the domain leader?"
Hearing this, Yu Ling frowned and said, "I won't." Yuan He, you go first, there are some things, I still have to talk to Xuan Yu alone. Yuan He wanted to argue something, but he still swallowed back, he said a word of leaving, and turned to leave. Xuan Yu glanced at him, looked at the domain leader, and asked, "Father, is there something wrong?" The domain leader shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just don't want him to interfere with my judgment." ”
After a long time, the domain leader said, "I think about it, Chen Chi needs a formal explanation. Go and call him, and let's go to the gods, where are all the people? Xuan Yu hurriedly replied to his words and said, "Father, Chen Chi is just a person who even the realm lord doesn't want, what can he bring for us? He can't bring anything, only disaster." Why don't you listen to me?" The domain leader seemed to be very angry, and scolded angrily: "Enough!" Xuan Yu was forced back because of his words, very unwilling, and said, "Father, you can't bet on Guan Yunyu." ”
Yu Ling said: "That's it for me to say, do you want to stop me too?" Xuan Yu's face was ugly, and she said, "I don't dare, I just want you to see the facts." Yu Ling asked her: "What do you want to say about the facts?" Xuan Yu saw that she had a chance to speak, and hurriedly said: "The facts are"
"The truth is that everybody wants to get rid of me!" they turned their heads together to look in my direction, and they found that the owner of this sentence was me. Xuan Yu immediately lowered her head and retreated silently. Seeing that I heard it, Yu Ling hurriedly said, "Chenchi, it's nothing, don't be careful, Xuanyu didn't mean that." Xuanyu, you said, do you mean that, say it quickly. Xuan Yu glanced at me and said, "That's what I meant." ”
"You!how can you do this?" Domain's hand began to tremble. I took his words and said, "Alright, Domain Leader, I'll be an adult after today." I think I can go outside by myself, don't worry, you raised me, I will come back in the future, I just want to take care of the fast god sacrifice. The domain leader's face turned pale, and he said, "Okay, okay, I'll prepare, I'll prepare." He was a little unsteady when he walked, and Xuan Yu wanted to help her, but he opened it.
I looked at them and thought, maybe, only the domain leader is true to me, he didn't want me to lie, he didn't take advantage of me, even if I knew about his unbearable past. I stood where I was, looking at Xuan Yu glaring at me, I smiled at her and said, "I've done what you think, how about it?" Xuan Yu said: "I hope you can really stay away from our peaceful life, anyway, I tell you, after today, your life will be better than everything." ”
In my opinion, it is best to live without them in all kinds of difficulties. What I just didn't expect was that when everyone distrusted them, the people who were once closest to them turned out to be not intimate at all, more like enemies. I watched Xuanyu Xuanyu brush her sleeves away, but laughed, it turned out that this was my final ending. I stood there, walking around the foyer, looking at everything around me, and immediately I didn't belong here.
I walked around the room and saw the bench and the cooled smoking gun in the doorway. I stepped forward and smelled the familiar smell, like tobacco mixed with dust, and I felt like I had stepped back in time. I walked farther and accidentally knocked off the bongs on the bench. I reached for it, only to notice that something was wrong.
In my impression, the Domain's bongs are always very light, very light and light, like hollow. This time, it was like being filled with lead, and it was very heavy. I touched it and didn't notice any difference, it was still the same as before. But since it is the same as before, it has a different weight than before, there must be some secret in this. In one of my explorations, I found that the interface of the cigarette holder can be moved and can be unscrewed.
I reached for it, but I figured that I had discovered a lot of secrets in the domain domain, and I should not leave it alone. But I was still curious to unscrew it, only to find something strange. I took it out of it and it was a little tube. I held it in my hand and looked at its lines, only to see that it was a metal pillar engraved with words, as if it had recorded something.
When I looked at these fonts carefully, I found that they were engraved with the characters of the Demon Clan, whom I had just met. I held it tightly in the palm of my hand and felt the force of my own strength as if I was going to crush it. Now I understand everything, everything is understood, and what I see is just an illusion. But I didn't destroy it as I thought, and then ask the teacher for sin. I put it back in its place, carefully screwed the cigarette holder, and put the cigarette gun back on the bench.
After I had calmed down for a while, I felt footsteps walking in, so I hurried back to where I was. It was the domain that came back, and he took a stack of papers, and said as he walked: "These things break some laws of the spirit world, and you have to fulfill some obligations, such as going to the Qixiu domain to serve." In addition, there are some points to pay attention to during the sacrifice of the gods, which are organized on these papers. He put the wad of paper into my hand, and I reached out to take it and took a cursory look at it.
While I was flipping through it, the domain leader said on the side: "It's okay, you have nothing to do with the Demon Clan, you can clarify it soon." "I couldn't stop telling other people's lies, the hand that grabbed the paper began to tremble, I tried to stop his shaking, but the paper crumpled. In my trembling voice, I asked, "What about you?" Domain Leader obviously didn't understand what I meant, and frowned to show that he didn't understand. I held back the anger in my heart and said, "Then are you as innocent as I am with the Demon Clan?"
When the domain leader heard my words, his face became more embarrassed than ever, and he asked, "What do you know?" I sneered: "Which one do you mean? Are you asking you to provoke the friendship of the two brothers Yan Ze and Yan Huan, or are you asking again about your intention to rebel, or are you asking about colluding with the Demon Clan? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter which one you ask, because I can answer you, that is, I know all your lies." Yu Ling's face changed from embarrassment at the beginning to annoyance and anger now.
He suddenly sneered and said, "What about the evidence, what about your evidence?" I threw the cigarette gun he had placed on the bench in front of him and smashed it to pieces, and the secret metal pipe rolled to the ground and rolled to the feet of the domain leader, and stopped. I don't understand why he is still deceiving me now, everything is not important, what is important, his false appearance. The domain leader no longer resisted, and he said, "I don't know this. When I heard this, I was very amused, and I replied to him, and I said, "Then why is it with you, you don't know it." Do you still deny it?"
My voice can almost lift the roof, and the paper in my hand is pinched beyond recognition, like my heart now. I was so disgusted with his lies that I couldn't trust him anymore, and I yelled at him, "All you do is just a high-sounding illusion." On the surface, you are suppressing the rumors that doubt me, but in fact you are the ultimate mastermind. I didn't even think before, with your status as a domain leader, how could you not suppress a rumor that was still unfounded. That's because you're suppressing and leading everyone to doubt me. The reason why you're doing this is to use me to cover up the evidence of your collusion with the Demon Clan, right?"
The domain leader stopped talking, but opened his mouth, wanting to speak. I know he's still going to quibble, but I'm not going to give him a chance, because his words, in my opinion, are worse than anything else. I just continued to pour out what I wanted to say to him in my own way, in exchange for the harm he had caused me over the years.
"You're just a stinking villain who wants to be the lord of the realm, but I, what can stop you, must you be involved in everything? Your lies are the same as your personality. You said that Yeonho is not worthy of having the family name of the honored world, and I think you are even less worthy than him. You've made my life like mud. I'm tired of hearing your lies!"
I threw the wad of paper in my hand at him. They spread out in the air, falling in patches of white, covering the scene in front of me, as if he had brought me the sight.
Lies are intertwined with lies, and we under lies are the ones who will be deceived the most. What I can't say is the pain in my heart, the pain of shedding tears at night, and the pain that I can't relax. I don't want to wake up to a lie until the end, only to wake up scarred.
