Chapter Ninety-Three: Meeting Again with the Extreme
Lu Youling thought that she had misheard, Xiao Luo was kind and kind, how could she kill for no reason. However, Fang Chi smiled and explained him: "The king wants to execute this moon lice beast in order to kill chickens and monkeys, and he has never wanted Rizhao and Yundu to have too close relationships. ”
"That's not going to kill this moon lice!"
Fang Chi looked at Lu Youling blankly, "Why, looking at this way, you seem to know this moon lice beast." ”
"If anything, but everything has a spirit, and it is always bad to kill for no reason. ”
Lu Youling casually prevaricated, Fang Chixiao saw that he had something on his mind, and hurriedly comforted: "What you said is also right, it is true that you should not kill for no reason, but this moon lice beast was clearly caught in the territory of Jiali Temple, but its owner has not appeared for a long time, the king has already sent someone to negotiate with Rizhao Kingdom, but they flatly denied that they have not sent anyone here, don't you say that this is not talking nonsense with open eyes? ”
"Rizhao doesn't even admit that this is their moon lice beast?"
"Of course, if you admit it, wouldn't you admit that you sent someone to break into the temple at night, this is to provoke the friendship of the alliance between the two countries, in other words, I will definitely not admit it!"
"Makes sense, so where is this moon lice locked up now?"
"I heard that it was locked up in the cellar of the heavenly dungeon, and that was the only place where such a big beast could be contained. ”
"Thank you, Brother Fang, I suddenly want to go and meet the monarch now, and I ask Brother Fang to take me in. ”
"You're going to save this moon lice, right? Well, whatever your reason, just don't say I told you. ”
Fang Chixiao took Lu Youling to the Guiyuan Hall to ask to see Xiao Luo, and when Xiao Luo heard that Lu Youling was coming, he hurriedly summoned him. After Fang Chixiao was introduced, he returned to Jiali Temple to prepare for the search.
"Tell me, where have you been these two days?"
Xiao Luo stared at Lu Youling with heavy eyes, and the thick eyebrow bones gave people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant. Xiao Luo is not curious now, let alone concerned, his tone is undoubted, it is questioning.
"Senior brother, I..." Lu Youling didn't know how to lead the topic, and when he thought of his master's special status, he couldn't speak.
"Why? Isn't it hard to speak? You don't need to say that I know that you've been hiding in the Archive for the past two days. ”
Lu Youling was shocked: "Senior brother, how do you know?"
"You don't care how I know, do you know that you left a truth for Bai Zixiang this time, I originally thought that Bai Zixiang was going to take the opportunity to abolish your position as Si Tian, but I didn't expect him to point the finger at Luo Sheng, he clearly wanted Yundu to be hostile to Luo Sheng. ”
"Senior brother, in this way, do you believe that I didn't kill anyone?"
"I'm not sure if you killed someone, but I hope you will tell me what happened in the past two days, and if there is half a lie, this king will immediately convict you and escort you to the Jiali Temple for justice!"
As soon as Xiao changed his previous face and looked like he was doing business, Lu Youling was afraid, so he told everything that had happened in the past two days, of course, he didn't say a word about turning into a moon lice.
"You're not false?"
"Senior brother, if I have half a lie, I am willing to be punished by God and punished by thunder and death!"
Xiao Luo put one hand on his cheek, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "You just said that there are four scriptures in the Dark Pavilion?" But Bai Zixiang kept saying that only three scriptures were missing, what is going on?"
"I don't know, but when I went, I did see four scriptures, which were red, yellow, blue, and purple covers. ”
"Red..."Xiao slightly frowned, obviously the red scripture that Lu Youling said in his mouth was not in his impression, if he insisted that this was also the "Heavenly Ribbon Heart Sutra", it was likely to be "Heavenly Ribbon", which represented the highest meaning of cultivation.
However, if someone really seized the scriptures after Amu and killed people, why only three of the four scriptures were taken, not to mention that Bai Zixiang did not mention the red scriptures, it seems that this matter is by no means simple.
"Senior brother, senior brother believes that you didn't kill people, but you are also guilty of a big taboo to go to the collection pavilion to peek at the scriptures without permission, it's okay if you don't pursue it, if you find out about it, I'm afraid that the senior brother won't be able to protect you, it's better like this, you don't have to take the position of Si Tian of the Incense Pavilion, for my brother, I feel that in the past month, you have suffered too many things that you shouldn't bear, it's time to step down from all this." ”
The incomparably affectionate in Xiao Luo's eyes flattered Lu Youling, and he wanted to agree, but Xiao Luo's melancholy expression was obviously not considerate of himself, but a kind of hatred of iron and steel.
"Senior brother, I didn't do well enough to disappoint you, right?"
"It's not disappointment, everything is the fault of my senior brother, I shouldn't let you get involved in this right and wrong, and now you are stepping down from the position of Si Tian of the Incense Pavilion to protect you, I hope you can understand." ”
"I know that I can't do anything. ”
Lu Youling lowered her head in frustration, "In that case, I also hope that Senior Brother can help with one thing." ”
"Senior brother, why be polite, you just have to speak. ”
"I beg my brother to spare the captured moon lice beast. ”
"What does this moon lice beast have to do with you?"
"This moon lice beast was once raised by Rizhao's friend, and its owner is dead, so he has to wander around, and he may have inadvertently flown to the territory of Yundu, and I ask my senior brother to let it go. ”
"Senior brother, you may be late. ”
"What do you mean by that, senior brother?"
"This moon lice beast has been imprisoned in the cellar of the dungeon, who knew that it suddenly disappeared last night, and I am still sending someone to investigate the matter. ”
"Gone?" Lu Youling's head was sudden, and she was at a loss again. How could Master not be seen when he was imprisoned in the cellar? Could it be that someone rescued him? Who could this person be?
"Senior brother, I won't say more, you go back and resign from the position of Sitian of the Incense Pavilion as soon as possible, I will find another position with you in the Guiyuan Palace, I hope you will not fall behind in cultivation." ”
"Thank you, senior brother!" Lu Youling spoke listlessly, in his eyes, his resignation and being persuaded to retire were completely different things, and a strong sense of frustration arose.
"Then I will go back to Jiali Temple to pack my things first, and I will resign from the position of Si Tian tomorrow. ”
Lu Youling was sullen all the way after this trip, but when she returned to the room, she saw an incense burner resting on the windowsill, and there was a slow smoke inside.
"Master?" Lu Youling hurriedly picked up the incense burner and asked, "Master, are you back?"
"Of course, who else can there be but a teacher. There was a very strong voice from the incense burner, Lu Youling cried with joy and whimpered: "I thought I would never see Master again in this life!"
"Ahh ”
"Master, who rescued you?"
"Do you still need someone to rescue you if you want to come out? You forgot that there is still a gold sticker of the Qiankun bag on the teacher's body, and the teacher only needs to recite the spell when no one is watching, and the body will naturally shrink to an inch in length, and it is not easy to escape. ”
"I see, no wonder Senior Brother said that you left last night," Lu Youling wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then thought of being dismissed, and hurriedly told Ji Dao Fei. After listening to this, Ji Dao said: "Xiao Luo is not enough, and he shouldn't have pinned his hopes on you as a child, but I also blame you for not being angry, and you actually let people sweep the floor and go out, and the teacher's face also feels dull." After a pause, he said: "According to the teacher's meaning, the position of Si Tian can be left or abandoned, the key is up to you." ”
"I don't want to give up like this, I think I can do a good job!"
Lu Youling spoke sonorously and forcefully, but unfortunately Ji Dao laughed again and again: "Now I'm afraid that I can't help you, since Xiao Luo opened his mouth, even if you want to continue to sit in this position, no one will protect you in the future, it is better to step down as soon as possible and protect yourself Mingzhe." ”
Lu Youling nodded, then shook his head again, it seemed that he had not thought of a good way, Ji Dao saw that he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he bypassed this topic and asked elsewhere: "In the past few days, there has been a lot of rumors in the city, saying that someone broke into the collection pavilion at night and killed four guards, do you know about this? Does anyone suspect you?"
As soon as she heard about the murder case in the Collector's Pavilion, Lu Youling hurriedly cheered up. At first, the apprentice was also frightened, for fear of implicating himself, but later found that the deceased had a dagger piercing wound on his neck, and it was all fatal, and now the spearhead is directed at Luo Shengguo. Bai Zishen has already led people to seal the city to arrest the murderer, and Senior Brother Xiao does not approve of sealing the city and taking people, he thinks that this will damage the relationship between Luo Sheng and Yundu. ”
"Well, Xiao Luo is thoughtful, Bai Zixiang This is to show the guilt of Luo Shengguo, it seems that this time he can use the topic to play. ”
"Master, I don't understand why Bai Zixiang did this?"
"Fool, Bai Zixiang wants to make an alliance with Rizhao, so that he can rely on Rizhao's forces to control Yundu, and the best reason for the alliance is to have a common enemy, if Luo Sheng and Yundu are friendly, this enemy will no longer exist. Do you understand what the teacher said?"
Lu Youling nodded, but another picture came to mind in her mind.
"Master, the apprentice suddenly had a bold assumption, I did find four scriptures in the collection pavilion, and the covers of the four scriptures were printed with the words 'Tianshou Heart Sutra', but the cover color was different, according to Senior Brother Xiao, in addition to the three books of "Qianyuan", "Xugu" and "Wufu", there is also a red-covered scripture book, which may be the "Tianshou" you said Heart Sutra, but Bai Zixiang claimed that he had lost three scriptures, but this red scripture was silent, could it be that this was a means for him to shout to catch the thief and deliberately blame Luo Sheng?"
"There is a bit of truth in the analysis of the apprentice, according to what you mean, the four guards were killed by Bai Zixiang, and it feels unreasonable to think about it, the four guards all have the cultivation of 'Void Valley', how can Luo Sheng kill four people at a time, and the evidence left by killing people with housekeeping skills is too obvious, not so much theft, but better than killing people and goods, so Bai Zixiang deliberately provoked Yundu and Luo Sheng behind the scenes The suspicion is the greatest. ”
