Chapter 8: Teasing the Cat
Chapter 8 Teasing Cat Stick
As soon as Ning Si and Chen Hua returned to the clouds, they were quietly separated and taken away, Chen Hua was confined in his own Linshu Palace, and Ning Si was escorted to the Dome.
Although it is called Dome, it is not very big here, but if you talk about luxury and richness, it is definitely the only one of the thirty-three heavens.
Ning Silk was kneeling on the floor of the vault, and he was like a stone statue that would tremble. Although the person who escorted him had left, he still maintained the posture of being pressed to his knees, and he didn't even dare to tidy up his messy clothes, his hands were clenched tightly and his fists trembled slightly, and his palms were covered with beads of sweat.
According to the grade of Ning Si, he was not qualified to enter the Dome, but he was curious, and he often pestered Chenhua to describe the appearance of the Dome to him. Although Chen Hua will enter the vault because of the handover of official duties, he does not dare to make extra stays here, most of the time he bows his head to listen to the new explanation, and then nods "yes" and then salutes and leaves, so Chen Hua only talked to Ning Si about the gem floor of the vault is really luxurious, because many gems that are rare in other places are only allocated to the immortals here to cushion the soles.
Because of the circumstances of his birth, Ningsi's heart is very yearning for luxurious things, which is just the opposite of Chenhua, who prefers simplicity. Ever since he learned about the gem floor of the dome in Chenhua, Ning Silk has longed for that place even more, and many times he has imagined that he will stand on the gem floor and be sealed as a higher grade, but he can't imagine that the first time he saw the place where his dream reached was to be detained here because of a mistake.
The gem floor of the dome is more dazzling than what Ning Silk has in her mind, each gem here will shine, and it is its own unique light, whether bright or dark or flickering or constant, since Ning Silk came here, these gems have vied to reflect their own light on Ning Silk's handsome face, and the colorful light makes his face even brighter.
However, Ningxi's mind was extremely confused at this time, and no matter how beautiful the gem was, it became a phantom in his eyes at this moment. He didn't know who would come to interrogate him, how many people would come, and what he would ask. Whether to tell the truth or remain silent according to Chenhua's suggestion He didn't think about it, he didn't dare to lie, this kind of trick could not get anything but being ridiculed for stupidity and aggravating the guilt in a place of this level. But he really felt very guilty about Chenhua, after all, Chenhua was involved by him.
As time went on and the fear of what was about to happen, Nels' body became stiffer and colder, and the cold sweat on his forehead slid down the smooth lines of his face to the tip of his nose and then dripped down. No amount of brilliance could cover the pale complexion of his face.
There was a sudden crisp sound, and Ning Si's mind was stirred up at once, and he raised his eyes to look at the direction in which the sound sounded, but quickly retracted it.
With the sound, a breezy figure wrapped in an unknown fragrance flashed out from behind the screen behind the throne of the Dome, and came to Ningsi in a few steps, and before Ningsi could salute solemnly, this person sat down on the steps in front of Ningsi, very uninhibited. With her head down, she could only catch a glimpse of one of the man's boots and part of the hem of his clothes.
"Frightened, huh?" The man chuckled.
Nelsy didn't dare to answer, but lowered her head.
"Eh, don't bow your head." As he spoke, the man handed an object to Ningxi's jaw and guided him to lift his head.
The jaw of this thing is extremely itchy, and the previous crisp sound also comes from this thing, and the silk has seen something similar in the world, it is very much like a cat teasing stick.
"Mother-in-law is right, you are really a beauty, no wonder Chenhua is fascinated by you." The man giggled again.
"No, I didn't ......" Hearing Chenhua's name, Ning Si became nervous and hurriedly defended, but was interrupted by this person.
"It's just a pity!" The person's voice suddenly became high-pitched and cold, "The person is beautiful, but the work is very sloppy." With that, the man threw his sleeves heavily on Ningxi's face and stood up. Nelsy lowered her head again in fright.
"Such a simple errand, you did a really bad job, and it made an extra mess, put in a dragon, and then it is unknown what will be involved, how do you say to condemn you? At the beginning, someone should have told you to act in secrecy and never publicize it, but you didn't think that after things went wrong, you not only didn't report it in time, but also privately involved irrelevant people, which really surprised me to be bold. According to the precedent, you should be secretly dealt with and reduced to nothingness, but I, Shuo Heng, am merciful and willing to give you a chance to make amends...... I wonder if the wind makes you willing to accept it? ”
Shuo Heng's sarcastic words pierced Ning Si's heart very astringently, and it sounded as if Shuo Heng was asking Ning Si's opinion, but Ning Si really didn't have the courage to refuse.
"I accept. That Chenhua he ......"
Shuo Heng pretended to have amnesia and said, "Chenhua? Chenhua...... Thanks to you, he was temporarily grounded, and the crime was tentatively convicted of using forbidden arts without permission. As for what will be added later, it depends on your performance. ”
Shuo Heng then bent down and whispered in Ning Si's ear:
"As for me, I have already taken away half of his six senses, and it is enough to handle official business." Shuo Heng giggled again.
The laughter twisted the silk in his heart as if he was only wrapped in thorns, and at this moment he could actually understand the impermanence of his state of mind when he sneered at impermanence on the rooftop. Sure enough, there is karma in this world!
"Emperor! It's all because of my dereliction of duty! Chenhua is innocent, please forgive! Ning Silk lowered his body deeply, his voice trembled, his body clenched very tightly and couldn't stop shaking.
"Emperor? The title is a bit high~ Although your rank is low, I don't mind if you call me by my first name - Shuo Heng. Chenhua is waiting for you to deal with the matter and I will unseal him, so it's useless for you to beg me now. However, I have mercy and did not ask anyone to guard outside the Linshu Temple, so you can go to the gate of the Linshu Hall and say goodbye. ”
After saying that, Shuo Heng leisurely shook the cat teasing stick in his hand and disappeared behind the screen behind the throne of the dome.
The Linshu Hall was in the clouds, the location was remote and deserted, and Ning Si staggered all the way without encountering half a figure, and he almost fell on the flat road several times. In terms of horror, Shuo Heng can say the words that make him return to nothingness so lightly; In terms of remorse, Chen Hua bore the punishment that should have belonged to him for him; In terms of luck, he knew that he still had a chance to save the situation, even if he gave everything he had, he would turn things back to the best way, so that he and Chenhua could survive. If he could, when the matter was over, he would definitely beg Chenhua to take him out of here and live a fear-free life, even if it cost him to die of old age, as long as Chenhua was by his side.
In the Linshu Palace, Chenhua, who was grounded, moved the tables and chairs he wanted to handle official business and the tables and chairs he wanted to use to the courtyard, and the tables and chairs were facing the gate of the courtyard, so that he could look up from time to time to see if the gate was shaking while dealing with official business, if the gate moved, it was likely that Ningsi came.
Because he was taken out of his body sense, he lost the ability to feel his body, and this movement caused his body to be wounded in many places, bumps, bumps, burns, bruises, scratches, etc., because he didn't feel pain, so he didn't deal with it, just sat at the door and waited for Ningsi's arrival, because there were some things he still wanted to say to Ningsi.
Shuo Heng didn't deceive Ning Si, there was no guard at the door of the Linshu Palace, but the entire palace was sealed, and Ning Si couldn't even take a look at Chen Hua in the air.
He sat down in front of the Zhu Gate of the Linshu Palace, his back and head were leaning against the door, he guessed that Chenhua might not be able to hear, because he didn't need to hear to deal with official documents, so he couldn't say anything to Chenhua, just leaning quietly like this for a while, he would feel much better in his heart.
"Filament? Is it you? Chenhua's voice as clean as a clear spring came out of the door. The filament was very light, and the door of the Linshu Hall was noticed by Chenhua only slightly moved.
In fact, whenever the door of the Linshu Hall moved, Chen Hua would ask this sentence, because he believed that if Ningsi came, he would definitely respond to him.
Hearing Chenhua's voice, Ning Si was first startled, and then cried with joy, he turned around and cried like rain on the door of the Linshu Palace, as if the tears held in the Dome Hall were gushing out at this moment, and soon wet his placket. How could such a gentle and thoughtful person as Chenhua not know that he was coming! He must have been waiting for him at the door!
"Chenhua! It's me! It's my ......," Nelsel replied as she tapped the door hard. If Chenhua could hear it, he would surely be touched by the choked cry of the silk like a nightingale sobbing at this moment.
"Ningsi, you listen to me," Chen Hua suppressed the tens of thousands of worries in his heart and forcibly made himself calm and composed, Ningsi's current appearance can be guessed even if he can't see it, if he shows even a trace of panic at the moment, it will only lead to Ningsi doing stupid things, calm must be calm, Chen Hua asked himself. "I'm fine, don't worry. At this moment, you can appear outside the door to prove that things have taken a turn for the better, your current mood must be chaotic, I told you before that you must be calm and think twice before doing things, too impatient will only make things worse, so I have thought of the next arrangements for you, you must listen to me before acting. In the current situation, let's first agree, the door shakes once to indicate that you agree, twice to indicate that you disagree, and three times to say goodbye. ”
The door shook once
"Okay, then I'll start talking about it now, you must keep it in mind!" Chen Hua asked a little eagerly.
According to the agreement with Chenhua, Ningsi finally shook the door three times. After hearing Chenhua's affectionate "take care", Ning Si wiped the tears on her face, stood up, smoothed the folds of her front placket and left the clouds.
