Chapter 244: Life and Death (4)
When he came to Mu Jin's residence, the two big characters hanging on the plaque of Mu Fu were already crumbling in the wind, as if they might fall down at any time.
"I've seen the ......"
The sound of kneeling and bowing fell into the ears of the silent night one after another.
He bowed his head slightly, and said softly, "Get up......
"Your Excellency, do you want us to go in and inform the Protector Zuo to come out to greet you?" someone asked respectfully.
"No need. Silent Night shook his head, his wide robe hunted in the cold wind, and said, "Just go in with the deity, don't disturb him......"
With that, he went straight to the Mu Mansion.
There was a depression in the Mu Mansion, as if it had not been inhabited for a long time, and the cold wind constantly emitted the smell of a few things rotting.
A few pine trees in the courtyard stood tall, and the branches and leaves swayed in the wind, but they were unable to move because they were wrapped in ice and snow, and finally they could only let their branches sway stiffly with the cold wind.
"Mu Jin......" Silent Night pursed the corners of his lips, but he heard his breathtaking and charming voice in the entire courtyard.
"Your Excellency ......"
A black shadow fell on the snow, Silent Night's eyelids did not move, he stood with his hands in his hands, his long figure was as tall as a pine, and he didn't move for half a minute, and within a moment, he saw Mu Jin's slightly emaciated figure appear in front of Silent Night, kneeling on one knee.
"It's coming. Silent Night moved her lips, and there was no joy on her expressionless face.
I only heard Mu Jindao: "I don't know when Your Excellency came back?"
"Last night...... "Silent Night looked at Mu Jin's every move quietly, and his tone was cold and different from usual.
Mu Jin raised his head slightly stunned, and said after a while: "Your Excellency, you can be regarded as back......"
"How do you have something to say?" asked Silent Night lukewarmly.
"Oh, the Venerable has been searching for your whereabouts all these days, and she would be very happy if she knew that you were back. There was a far-fetched tone in his tone, and even he himself could hear something wrong.
Since Mu Li left the Demon Realm, there has been no news, in order to find her, he is packing in the room, trying to find Mu Li back, but he didn't expect Silent Night to come back at this juncture.
He can only pray silently now, Mu Li must not do anything out of the ordinary, otherwise even if he is there, she is afraid that she will not escape death.
"Oh. Silent Night raised her eyebrows and asked, "What about Mu Li!"
"Li'er, she ......" Mu Jin was stunned, not knowing where to start.
"It's time to leave the Demon Realm. Silent Night asked herself.
"Your Excellency. Mu Jin lowered his head knowing that he was wrong, and thought for a long time before saying: "Li'er, she has been naughty since she was a child, and since she was ordered by the Holy Venerable to be imprisoned in this Mu Mansion, she has been even more upset, so not long ago, she left a letter and ran away from home. ”
"Really?" asked Silent Night's Tail Tone, elongated.
"Yes. Mu Jin nodded and replied with a weak heart.
"Then do you know what she did after she left the Demon Realm?" There was a bit of anger in Silent Night's tone, which quickly made Mu Jin hear that something was wrong.
"Your Excellency has seen her, or has she done something foolish......"
"It's really a foolish thing. Silent Night said coldly: "For his own selfishness, he colluded with the divine realm to kill Ah Zi, which led to the tragic death of more than 70,000 people in Qingyang City......
His every word was like thunder, and it slashed down at Mu Jin's head.
"Your Excellency......" Mu Jin defended: "Please also ask Your Excellency to investigate, even if Li'er is a little naughty, she will never do such a rebellious thing." ”
"......Absolutely not" Silent Night sneered: "The deity has seen it with his own eyes, is there still a fake ......?"
"What......" Mu Jin's eyes widened, as if he had lost all his strength, and he sat down on the cold snow.
Silent Night's words made him not believe it, and he didn't dare to delve into it, he never thought that his good sister, who had been pulled by him, would one day kill so many innocent lives because of jealousy.
Although they are demons, they think they are sitting upright and have never done anything harmful to people, but now judging from Mu Li's style of acting, what do they have to do with demons.
"Mu Jin, you have been with the deity for many years, and you should know the deity's character best, so when you came here today, the deity wanted to ask you, what should she do?!"
"I ......" Mu Jin opened his mouth, his mind was in chaos, and he didn't know where to start.
"More than 70,000 lives in Qingyang City died because of her alone, and Ah Zi is also because she is still lying on the cold bed in the Falling Rain Palace, you say, how should the deity punish her?!" said Silent Night again.
The cold eyebrows and eyes were deeply furrowed, revealing a few creases between his eyebrows, he looked at Mu Jin, who was already pale, without squinting, and said word by word: "Mu Jin, you should know that the patience of the deity is limited. ”
If such a vicious woman wants to stay in the world again, it will only bring him more unexpected endings, so he will never allow anyone who is harmful to Yin Zi to stay by her side.
"I know. Mu Jin knelt down again and said insincerely: "However, please let me see her for the last time for the sake of my loyalty to you for so many years." ”
Even if she is not, she is always his Mu Jin's sister, the sister he grew up holding in the palm of his hand since childhood.
"Go ahead. Silent Night glanced at him coldly, brushed his sleeves away, and dropped a sentence, saying, "She is imprisoned in my demon realm dungeon......"
The goose feathers and snow in the air fell one after another, and the purple figure in the silent night gradually disappeared from Mu Jin's sight, as if he couldn't feel the cold, he still stared at the snow-white ground in a demented manner, regretting it.
After a long time, he got up from the ground, returned to the room, and began to pack up Mu Li's things.
Mu Li's crime this time must be dead, and he knew that it was useless to plead, so he could only see her for the last time in the last days of forgiveness in the silent night.
......
When it was getting dark, Mu Jin finally packed up and came to the dark and damp dungeon.
The demon world has become colder and colder in recent years, so, gradually, no one is willing to guard it anymore, and this place has become an abandoned death row.
The cold wind was howling, and the sound of chains and locks hitting each other on the heavy iron door scrambled into Mu Jin's ears.
A discerning person can see at a glance how cold it is in prison.
After being silent at the door, Mu Jin finally pushed open the cell door with a heavy heart and walked in.
Just like what I imagined, the prison was cold, and the dungeon made of cold iron was even colder than the cold wind outside, and even Mu Jin, who was usually used to freezing in the snow, couldn't help but shiver several times in a row.
Looking through the empty cells one by one, the flickering candlelight in the corner of the wall seemed to be swept by the cold wind outside, and there were faint signs of extinguishing.
"Li'er......" Mu Jin lit a fire in his hand, and at a glance, it was dark at the end of the cell, and he didn't know if there was anyone inside. "Li'er ......"
The sound of someone moving their position gradually came from the dark corner in front of them, as if they were weak and powerless, and every time they moved, it was extremely difficult.
"Li'er, is that you?" After trying to call twice, Mu Jin trotted towards the place where the sound kept coming, and he even forgot to use the spell.
"Brother...... Brother ......"
Mu Li's faint voice of mosquitoes came, and Mu Jin couldn't wait to take three steps and walk over in two steps.
In the dim and damp cell, the smell of decay filled the tip of his nose, and Mu Jin hurriedly said, "Li'er, Li'er, are you okay?"
In the corner of the cell with ventilation on all sides, it was Mu Li who sat with an embarrassed face, but she had only come in for a short night, and her face, which was as beautiful as a flower yesterday, was replaced by a blue and black face today, perhaps because the weather here was too cold, and she was so cold that she couldn't sleep, and there were several bloody cuts on her pale lips.
Seeing Mu Jin, she hurriedly got up from the ground, used her hands and feet together, and said with teary eyes: "Brother...... It's so cold here, Li'er doesn't want to stay any longer, you hurry up and ask the Venerable to let me out. ”
The crying is like a broken liver and intestines, the cryer has no intention, but the listener is affectionate.
"Li'er......" Mu Jin couldn't bear to bow his head when he heard this, and said with tears in his eyes: "I'm sorry, it's my brother who is sorry for you." ”
If it weren't for the lawlessness he had spoiled her over the years, she wouldn't have become like this.
"Brother......" Mu Li cried and begged: "Can you help me to intercede, Li'er can't stay here for a moment." ”
"I'm sorry. Mu Jin, who has never liked to show sadness in front of people, suddenly said with tears on his face: "I'm sorry, it's my brother who is useless, I can't save you......"
"What do you mean......" Hearing this, Mu Li's face changed, and she stopped crying and said: "......Does my brother mean that I don't want to help Li'er intercede?"
"Li'er......" Mu Jin looked at Mu Li in astonishment, he never thought that the well-behaved and obedient sister who was usually in front of him would have such an unbearable side.
Sure enough, my brother was unwilling. Mu Li turned her back in despair, as if disappointed, and said: "Since my brother doesn't want to intercede, then please go back, and let Li'er fend for herself here alone......
"Li'er, you ......" Mu Jin said: "Until now, don't you know what you did wrong?"
If she made a small mistake, even if she pulled down her old face, he would plead for her, but now, she made not only a small mistake, but more than 70,000 lives in vain......
This makes him how to speak, and where to start.
"I'm not wrong. Mu Li's face suddenly turned around and said, "I'm just doing what I think is right, even if all of you think it's wrong, I think it's right." ”
"Have you ever thought about what the consequences of what you do will be......" Mu Jin looked at her and said word by word: "There are more than 70,000 lives in Qingyang City, how can you bear to ......?"
