Volume 2: A Journey to the Depths Chapter 40: The Strange Case of Tianruo Temple (3)
His Danfeng eyes bent slightly, and he said softly: "Ci Xin, you are still young, you don't understand these things, and you are sophisticated." He slowed down, and said: "Maybe they just don't know how to give an explanation to the world, and I hit it again, and I hit the muzzle of the gun......"
Ci Xin silently rubbed the medicine on him, and his eyebrows showed sadness.
She still couldn't understand that Fu Qichuan hadn't done anything wrong...... Why should he be blamed.
Fu Qichuan just looked at her lightly, he was very worried that because of this matter, Ci Xin would stay away from him, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.
After a while, he asked nervously, "Ci Xin!" You...... Believe me? β
Ci Xin looked at him stupidly, frowning slightly. He...... What does that mean?
After a while, she seemed to see through it, and her eyebrows stretched. Softly said, "Of course I believe you." β
He laughed, "How can you be so sure I'm not the murderer?" β
She also smiled, "Because of Fu Qichuan I know, he will definitely not do such a thing." β
He relaxed, and looked up at the front with tender eyes.
After applying the medicine, Ci Xin took out the food, scooped a spoonful, and fed it to his mouth.
He chewed the food sent by Ci Xin, and the warmth in his heart could not be concealed.
"Thank you." He smiled, really thankful that she believed in him so without hesitation.
Ci Xin was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses and glared at him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Between good friends, it's too much to say thank you." Although she often said thank you to Ziling, she didn't like Fu Qichuan to talk to her.
When he saw Ci Xin's expression, he didn't speak, just silently chewed the food in his mouth.
The two chatted again, but saw An Mujin hurriedly running in, seeing them, he hurriedly said: "Ci Xin, you should leave with Fu Qichuan quickly!" He gasped for a moment before saying, "Tomorrow, Master, they're going to use the Lie Elimination Nail on Qi Chuan!" β
Ci Xin was stunned, the nail is the ancestral magic weapon of Tianruo Temple, if the person who is tortured can hold on to the third nail, then he can prove his innocence. If the victim is lying, he will not be able to penetrate from the second nail. However, after the three nails, the monster will be wiped out, and the immortal cultivator will also lose his martial arts!
Ci Xin immediately wanted to cut off the iron lock and take him away, but Fu Qichuan stubbornly refused to leave, he looked at her and said with a firm expression: "Ci Xin! I can't go. β
Ci Xin couldn't understand why it was like this, he didn't leave.
"You must know that if I escape, it will prove that I am a murderer, and I have absconded in fear of crime! And even if I can escape for a while, I can't escape for a lifetime! He said, "Do you want to watch me join the Jiazhi Pavilion like Tu An?" β
Ci Xin hesitated, yes, once he escaped, it was enough to prove that he confessed his guilt, and it was impossible for the head of the four families to let him go! But if he doesn't escape, his martial arts will be left after three nails, and he will probably die.
Does she want to lose him? Of course she didn't want to!
"Then you're going to die for nothing like this?!" Ci Xin cried and yelled.
Fu Qichuan looked at her with a smile, changed his tone and said softly: "Don't worry...... I'll be fine. He really wanted to wipe away her tears...... It's a pity he can't reach it.
It took a long time for her to look up at him, tears rolling in her eyes. She choked up and asked: "Qi Chuan, obviously you haven't done anything wrong, but you have to bear such a big responsibility, if you were asked to do it all over again, would you still come to Tianruo Temple?" β
He smiled and said without thinking, "I will." β
"Why?"
"For it is my calamity," he said, "that if I do not come, he will identify others...... If that person becomes like Tu An in the back, then the world will be bad. He looked at her with love in his eyes, and said, "So there are some things that I should bear, and I can't escape." After all, no one's path to cultivating immortals will be smooth sailing, and the occasional dark clouds will pass through it. β
After a while, seeing that she didn't speak, I thought she was sulking, so I had to coax her, and said in a floating voice: "If I can survive this catastrophe safely...... Then I'll tell you a secret. β
She looked up at him, her eyes glowing with pearls, and she asked in a choked voice, "What...... The secret? He didn't speak, he just stared at her for a long, long time.
Ci Xin looked at him staring at his face, reached out and touched it, and asked strangely, "...... on my face?" Is there anything dirty? β
Only then did he react, turned his face away, and said with a red face, "No...... No, nothing. β
Maybe this time it is really a life-and-death parting, after all, he also knows the benefits of the lie. If you can avoid this catastrophe this time, it will be a blessing from cultivation, if you can't...... Then ask her to live this life safely......
Ci Xin didn't want to ask too much, after all, she also knew that he was the one who really needed care now.
Whether it's his injury or the person he is, it's a scarred existence now.
She repeatedly persuaded Fu Qichuan to let him go with her, but Fu Qichuan just didn't plan to leave.
There was no way, Ci Xin had to secretly swear that she would never let him suffer more than his body would be hurt tomorrow.
Ci Xin fed him like this, and he felt very uncomfortable. She was thinking that even if the Taoist Master misunderstood that he was a murderer, even if she bore the three lied nails for him, she didn't want to see him suffer this kind of crime.
Out of the dungeon, the two were silent along the way. The evening breeze gently ruffled her long hair, wafting with the scent of flowers.
"Qi Chuan...... Still reluctant to escape? An Mu Hibiscus looked at her and opened her mouth to break the dead silence.
Ci Xin looked at the large sea of flowers and nodded disappointedly.
Yes, with his character, even if he is persuaded a hundred times, he will not run away.
She didn't have the heart to enjoy the night view, kicked the pebbles on the road, pouted and walked slowly.
Walking to the side of an ancient house, from a distance, Ci Xin saw that Ruo Wenyu seemed to be talking to someone. The man was dressed in a night suit, and his face was so tightly covered that it was difficult to see who he was.
Ci Xin hurriedly delivered the lunch box to An Mujin, but he tiptoed behind a tree to observe them.
The stout tree also cooperated with her, protecting her tightly behind her.
As a breeze blew, she was startled. There is a demonic spirit!
Again. If there is a problem with the Taoist chief! Was he bought by the Jiazhi Pavilion? Ci Xin didn't know.
So she sneaked back to the dormitory quietly along the dead end.
"If there is really a problem with the Dao Chief!" Ci Xin said angrily as he closed the door.
Ziling was drinking water at this time, and when she heard this, she squirted violently, almost squirting on Ci Xin's face. She didn't care about wiping it, so she hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" β
Ci Xin sat down and told Ziling what he saw and heard tonight.
Ziling touched her pigtails and asked questioningly, "Why are you so sure that person is the demon of Jiazhi Pavilion?" β
"That man smells bad! And-" She paused, and then said: "And his demon smell is the same as the last time I was caught on Feiyu Island, and the little demon smell in it can't be said to be the same, it's exactly the same!" β
"Then if you say something without evidence, Daddy, they won't believe you." Ziling looked at her and asked without thinking.
How did I not think of this question! Ci Xin patted his head, regretting that he had not caught valid evidence in the first place.
Ziling smiled and said: "It's okay, since he collaborated with the Jiazhi Pavilion and betrayed us, he will naturally show his feet." β
When Ci Xin heard this, she couldn't help but feel ecstatic in her heart, but she thought that she was going to nail the lie tomorrow, and she was anxious again.
She took Ziling's hand, tears wet her eyes, and said anxiously: "But...... But we don't have time, tomorrow Qi Chuan will be nailed and nailed......"
Ziling's brows tightened when she heard this, yes, there is really not much time left for them.
"Don't worry, until the last minute, there is always time!" She said, "I'll go with you tomorrow to find evidence!" Ziling looked at her with a resolute expression that should not be underestimated.
Early the next morning, Ziling left the dormitory early.
After Ci Xin woke up, she didn't find Ziling, thinking that she didn't want to wade into this troubled water, but she shook her head helplessly.
After a while, I saw her coming back from outside, and I saw that she was still carrying two sets of clothes in her hands, and she was looking at Ci Xin with a smile.
Puzzled, he followed her over.
"Isn't this the clothes of the disciples of Tianruo Temple?" Ci Xin asked her in surprise.
Ziling nodded, handed her a set of clothes with a smile, and said proudly: "Yes, this is the clothes of the disciples of Tianruo Temple." I went to ask Da Mu today, and I heard him say that if the Taoist Master's dormitory only allows disciples in and out, so I asked Da Mu to find two sets of clothes for the two of us. She said, "So that we can pretend to be his disciple and enter his room to look for evidence!" β
Great! Ci Xin couldn't help but sigh from the heart.
Soon, they left the dormitory and appeared in Ruo Wenyu's sight.
At this time, Ruowen Yu was pretending to read a book in the house, and when he saw the two of them, he got up and shouted, "You two, come in." β
Ci Xin and the others were shocked, although they knew their disguised identities, but they were still startled by him, the two looked at each other, and then walked in gently.
"Clean up my house." He said, "By the way, take those useless things out and throw them away." β
They looked in the direction he was pointingβa pile of waste paper was waving to them in the light of the early sun.
Ci Xin sighed, and the two bowed their heads and said, "Yes." β
Then, Ruowen Yu walked out.
They also took the opportunity to rummage through the evidence.
It's noon, and the sun is shining fiercely on the earth.
At this time, Fu Qichuan was also staggered out.
He was taken to the entrance of the ruins, where he was locked in the two stone pillars standing in the middle of the entrance.
His hands and feet were shackled, his clothes and pants were bloody, and his hair was messy, but the forehead was still shiny.
At this time, there were already a lot of people in the audience, chattering non-stop.
