Chapter 430, Accidental Betrayal
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by the voice, and they saw a stone door rising on the wall of the stone room on the side, and the figure of the Heavenly Patriarch gradually walked in from the stone staircase behind the stone gate. This kind of strong spirit on his body made Su Ling'er admire him very much, but now that it appeared in front of him, Su Ling'er only felt that this vigorous spirit had become a kind of suppression, a kind of fear, and a sharp sword that could directly pierce people's hearts.
"Patriarch of the Heavens, you just said less than a stick of incense before that you are the head of a clan, do you still talk and don't count?" Su Ling'er stared at him, there was still a trace of respect in her eyes, but she was obviously very angry. It's just that she's trying her best to suppress this anger. "Although we are not human beings, but we pay attention to integrity, pay attention to morality, I am afraid that we are better than human beings, when my father was alive, he often taught me that the ancestral teachings should not be forgotten. Dare to ask the Celestial Patriarch if he still remembers. ”
"Presumptuous, are you reprimanding me? You are so young, what qualifications do you have to reprimand me? That's right, the Wood Spirit Immortal Clan has always valued honesty and morality, and there is no exception at any time, and what your father said is very concise. It's a good thing that you have this feeling. But I didn't violate morality. The Celestial Patriarch said slowly, and there was a breathless pressure in his subdued tone.
"You deceived us into coming here and backtracking, is it still a virtuous and trustworthy act?" Su Ling'er asked rhetorically.
The Heavenly Patriarch sneered, "I just said at the time that these people are beneficial to our Wood Spirit Immortal Clan, but I didn't say that I must not embarrass them. Not to mention that I would shield them!"
Su Ling'er was shocked when she heard this, but he was right, this was actually just her own assumption, it was because she believed too much in this high-ranking Heavenly Patriarch, and it was because he thought too simply. In fact, how can people's hearts be so simple, he can sit on this Heavenly Patriarch, one of the five major clans of the East Tree Continent, without a city government, how can he lead such a huge race.
Everyone listened to it, and scolded treacherously in their hearts, and Su Ling'er couldn't be blamed for this, he was kind after all. Shi Yunyang stood up and said, "Patriarch Tian, can I say a few words?"
The Celestial Patriarch turned his eyes and looked at him, only to see that the person in front of him was heroic and extraordinary, with a strong righteousness on his body, but there seemed to be a thick darkness hidden under this justice. Good and evil. A long snow-white hair hangs down his shoulders, but under the white hair, those eyes seem to be able to penetrate a qiē obstacle and go straight to the heart of a person. The Heavenly Patriarch was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt in his heart that this person must not be simple.
"Of course, you can say whatever you want, the Wood Spirit Immortal Clan was originally very friendly with humans, and in the spirit world, maybe we are not the only race that has contact with humans, but we are the race that has the most contact with humans. If it weren't for the fact that you had committed such a big thing, the old man would still want to treat you as guests. His tone softened slightly, but he still deliberately kept some distance from the crowd.
"Patriarch Heaven, you also said that humans and the Wood Spirit Immortal Clan have always gotten along a lot, so Patriarch Celestial should have enough understanding of humans. Although the human world and the spirit world have not been in contact for a long time, this subtle connection between the two races is pleasant. It was not easy for our group to reach the spirit realm, and we didn't come here with any intention of destroying any tree spirits. A qiē is just for self-preservation. Maybe there are already many spirit races in the human world, but the human race in the spirit world is afraid that there are only five of us, I hope this happy relationship will not be broken, after all, we have no malicious intentions. Shi Yunyang's words were very light, but when he said it, he was unhurried and very calm, and the Heavenly Patriarch secretly appreciated it in his heart.
Still, he said, "Mistakes have been made, and it's useless to think about them." What's the point of talking about that now? All I did was do my duty, nothing more. ”
Shi Yunyang took over and said, "Yes, the mistake has been made, and it is useless to think about it, but what is the point of you detaining us here? Even if you take us to Zhongling Prefecture and the King of Ten Thousand Spirits kills us, what is the point." The status quo of the East Tree Continent is still like this. Let's try to make a difference. Let's see if we can salvage the situation. ”
The Celestial Patriarch said: "You don't have to worry about this matter anymore, it is not up to me to decide whether to let you go or not, this must be decided by the Council of Elders of the Five Great Clans, and then carried out by the City Lord of the Five Kingdoms, if they feel that you should be released, then you should be released." But for now, it's better for you to stay honest. ”
Shi Yunyang said: "But what's wrong with Ling'er, why did you detain her together?"
The Celestial Patriarch said: "Su Ling'er has a bad heart, and she uses the side door to do disgraceful things, and after the three elders discussed, they decided to cancel her qualification to participate in the Five Parties Conference. ”
Su Ling'er was stunned for a moment, what is called an improper mental technique, could it be said that she came into contact with Shi Yunyang and his party, it is called an improper mental technique, and what is it called a disgraceful thing on the left side of the door. Su Ling'er was puzzled in her heart, and just wanted to ask. Suddenly, Shi Yunyang opened his mouth first.
"Ling'er's mind is not right, we have our own comments in our hearts, and we all know who she is, so we really can't believe it. Dare to ask what this disdainful thing does the side door and left Dao mean by this?" After Shi Yunyang finished speaking, he saw the Heavenly Patriarch gradually approaching and walking to the front of the cage, his eyes showing disappointment.
"Originally, I thought you were a clansman who valued virtue and righteousness with integrity, but I don't know how much you have absorbed from the virtue and integrity that your father handed over to you. You send someone to eavesdrop, this is a violation of integrity, but you still want to make a big deal about it, intending to frame Su Jin, this kind of nature is very bad, if you don't punish it, then you have to do it. After the five-party meeting, the Senate will discuss the disposition of you. The Heavenly Patriarch said something serious, but Su Ling'er was confused.
She smiled helplessly: "I framed Su Jin, why did I frame him, Su Jin went to Su Tong when Su Tong was imprisoned, and coerced and lured Su Tong to transfer the charge to me, who framed whom, don't you know?"
"That's enough, Su Tong has retracted all his confessions and completely identified you as the perpetrator of this matter. He has promised himself, drawing a pledge. No one coerced a confession, and he came to state it voluntarily. ”
"This is impossible!" Su Ling'er listened, her eyes straightened, like earth-shattering thunder crashing above her head. Su Tong has been with the Mu Hui patriarch for many years, and the two of them have received much kindness from the Mu Hui patriarch. Su Ling'er grew up with them since she was a child, even if the friendship between them was put aside, this kindness to the Muhui patriarch was deeply engraved in their hearts, how could he betray himself and come to accuse.
Su Ling'er couldn't believe it at all, and she couldn't accept this result at all, she shouted: "This is absolutely impossible, I believe in Su Tong, he will not betray me." And Su Jin is still lying on the bed now, how could he come to draw a charge. You want to lock me up, you want to favor and shield Su Jin, why do you need to use such means!"
The Patriarch of Heaven slowly took out a handscroll from his arms, slowly unfolded it in front of her, and said, "Look at it yourself." Su Ling'er looked at the handscroll, which recorded how she instructed Su Tong to eavesdrop on the news of various ethnic groups, and the person who spoke to him in prison was not Su Jin, but her, to keep him silent, otherwise Su Ling'er would attack his sister Su Ting. The words on the handscroll are very clear, although it is not Su Tong's handwriting, but the signature at the end is really Su Tong's handwriting.
Su Ling'er was stupid for a moment, and her head seemed to be emptied by something. A kind of betrayal heartache suddenly hit my heart, and after a burst of pain, it was a deep loneliness. It was as if the trust in this world had suddenly disappeared and shattered into nothingness. It was as if she had been abandoned. The pain of being hurt by someone you trust the most is far more painful than ordinary mental trauma.
Su Ling'er kept crying in her eyes, she still didn't believe it, if it wasn't for this cage separating her inside, she really wanted to rush over, snatch the handkerchief back, tear it to pieces, and then tell herself, this is not true, sleep for a while, and when she woke up, she found that it was just a terrifying nightmare.
Reality always stands outside the door of nightmares, and there will always be the shadow of nightmares, but it will always be more real than nightmares.
The Heavenly Patriarch gradually put away the handscroll and said, "I won't dispose of you first, and after the Five Directions Conference, I will make my own decision." With that, he turned around and walked out of the stone gate, the stone gate fell with a bang, and the place gradually returned to silence, only Su Ling'er kept sobbing in everyone's ears.
Seeing her kneeling by the door of the cell, just a few steps, she seemed to be far away from everyone, and she looked very lonely. Shi Yunyang sat down beside her and said, "Don't think so much, you won't do those things, we believe in you." ”
Linghu Yu'er also said: "Yes, yes, we believe in you, this matter must be the ghost of Su Jin." ”
Luo Xiaocheng said: "Actually, what Sister Yu'er said is right, she should have beaten that guy hard at the beginning, so that he knew that Luo was powerful." Playing yin like this, Luo is not used to it. ”
Su Ling'er turned to the side and said: "Everyone, it's Ling'er's fault, I shouldn't have brought you to this dangerous situation, and now that you are in prison, Ling'er feels guilty." ”
Han Lun waved his hand and said, "Girl, don't say that, it's us who should apologize, if we hadn't troubled the girl, the girl would definitely not suffer here at this time." ”
Su Ling'er said: "How can you say that, after all, I didn't expect it, so I did."
"Okay, don't say it. Shi Yunyang interrupted her and said, "None of us are blaming you, and we know that you just made an unintentional mistake. There is no excuse for wanting to add to the crime, Su Jin wants to frame you, the excuse is very easy to find, this is just a ploy of his. Let's stop taking responsibility for each other here. Now it's about what to do next. ”
