CHAPTER XV
"If you don't say it, I'll turn you into a quick stone and air dry here. At that point, you won't be able to say what you want to. He stroked his beard leisurely.
I hurriedly said, "It's because of fate." It was fate that brought me here. ”
"Oh?" he was surprised by my answer: "You told me why fate brought you here?"
"Yes...... Yes......" I was so distressed that I couldn't answer, and I was immediately anxious.
At this moment, Yuqing's voice came from far and near, and I saw her being lifted in the air by the book, and finally slammed to the ground. After a while, both of her red ears were swollen like a rabbit.
"Senior, the little girl doesn't dare, she doesn't dare anymore, you spare me, you spare me. Yuqing knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
The master said to Yuqing: "I have been hiding from the world for thousands of years in this Hundred Treasure Palace, and the reason why few people know is that there is only one person who knows, I think you are a smart little girl, and when it comes to this, you should know what the fate of breaking into my forbidden land is." The master smiled deeply: "So, I'll ask you now...... Why did she bring you here?"
"She?" Yuqing pointed at me in surprise.
"Didn't she bring you here?" the master continued, "You are innocent." ”
I hugged the carrier pigeon tightly, my heart beat wildly, I looked at Yuqing, and I couldn't say a word of explanation, because I knew that there must be someone between me and Yuqing who would be punished heavily, and the punishment would be heavier than I thought. Now the master has mistakenly thought that I am the culprit, and only if Yuqing tells the truth, I will be exempt from punishment, and she will be imprisoned.
"No, both of you are going to stay here. Master Fu said sharply.
Yuqing hurriedly said: "It's because her pigeon is injured, I ...... I came here with her to look for a book to read, to heal the wounds on the pigeons. ”
Looking at Yuqing, whose nervous whole body trembled, I held my breath and my whole heart sank. I should be able to calm down and forgive her for framing me, after all, this incident started because of me, and I should be held responsible. But why is my heart still sinking, like a wild goose sinking in a deep valley?
The master turned his head to me and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
"I ......" When he saw Yuqing's nervous and longing for freedom, many of the words held in his chest could not be spoken, and the urge to wash away his innocence gradually disappeared.
"Then you stay. The master pointed at me.
When Yuqing heard this, she hurriedly pleaded for me: "Master, we are dedicated to goodness, and we came here to save the pigeons, your old man is magnanimous, spare us." ”
The master glared at Yuqing: "You can go." As soon as he waved his sleeves, Yuqing disappeared in an instant. I thought to myself that he must have sent Yuqing back, and I had to stay here to be punished.
"Is there anything else you want to say now?" said the master, who continued to stare at me.
For some reason, I felt the tragedy of dying: "I want to say that it is wrong for us to trespass into your study, but my good intentions to save this pigeon are not wrong." ”
"It turned out to be a little stubborn. Master Fu said with great interest: "If only the knowledge in my study can save this pigeon, knowing that I will punish you, will you still come?"
"I think I will. "I wasn't afraid of his surprisingly good-looking eyes, because I was very honest.
"What do you call fate?" he asked rhetorically.
I was speechless, all the heroic spirit was gone, I used my little cleverness to protect myself and Yuqing at the beginning, and now I have become the mastermind of this matter by mistake, and I suddenly feel extremely embarrassed, I don't know what words I can temporarily play to excuse myself.
"It's really a fate that is not afraid of life and death. The master sighed at the sky, and then said to me righteously: "I curse the pigeon in your arms to die without a cure for poison within two days." I imprisoned you in my Hundred Treasures Hall to find an antidote to it. ”
I immediately said: "Master, this pigeon has a skin injury, and it is not poisoned." ”
A purple light suddenly burst out from the master's fingertips and shot towards the pigeon in my arms, and I found that the pigeon was shrouded in purple light, and it looked at me with an innocent pair of eyes, and its eyes were extremely painful and sad.
"Master, what are you going to do here?" I wondered.
Master Fu said with a smile: "Didn't you say that the pigeon is just a skin injury? Now that this pigeon has been poisoned by me, I just want to see how you can solve it." So saying, he waved his coat sleeves, and a gloomy wind followed the sky, and I was tossed to the ground, and when the gust of wind disappeared, I found myself lying in an empty place with a blue light, which came from the roof, but the roof seemed to be too high to see the end. Surrounded by rows of towering bookshelves, shelves filled with books larger than tables. I was amazed, standing in this nowhere to be seen, feeling the fragrance of the scrolls, and the fear in my heart was gradually dispelled.
