The best water fairy of crossing

Chapter 56

The world is impermanent, there will be parting when there is a meeting.And we have long been used to saying goodbye to each other at the moment of leaving.But Xuanqing's death made Ruoshui realize for the first time that it was too late to say the real parting.

Xuanqing brought her too much happiness, she had long regarded him as a relative and friend, but who would have thought that he would leave like that?

Ruoshui curled up in the corner, like a bird that lost its shelter due to injury.Her eyes were dull, looking at the desolate moonlight penetrating through the iron window, she only felt that her heart was also icy cold.

At this time, the iron door seemed to be twisted by someone, and then there was a loud bang, Xuan Chi appeared at the door holding a candle.

Seeing Ruoshui's face distorted by pain, Xuanchi sighed deeply.He put the candle on the wooden table, walked over gently, and buried her head in his arms.

The warm embrace made Ruoshui wake up, and she instinctively felt Xuanchi's warm palm gently pat her and comfort her.At that moment, she couldn't hold it anymore, she buried her face deep in Xuan Chi's arms, crying bitterly.

This was the first time she felt helpless in ancient times, and also the first time she felt warm.She has been through so much, but she doesn't seem to be fully grown up, or she doesn't want to grow up at all.

She cried for a long time, but in the end all she could hear was sobbing like a mosquito.

"Senior Brother, I really didn't kill Senior Brother Xuanqing." Ruoshui raised his head and looked at Xuanchi sadly.

"I know." Xuan Chi said, his voice was so calm.

"But I don't know what happened? We noticed someone, so we hid behind the door, and the person broke through the window, and then I felt a force surrounded me, and then I didn't know anything. Wait After I woke up, I realized..." Ruoshui was silent.

Xuanchi pondered for a while, then asked: "When you were attacked, what else did you find? For example, what characteristics does that person have?"

"No." Ruoshui shook his head, "It was very dark in the room at the time, and we couldn't see the appearance of the person who came. Moreover, that person shot like lightning, and we didn't know anything before we could react."

Xuanchi stared at the candle in silence, it was obvious that this person was coming for Ruoshui.He killed Xuan Qing, probably because Xuan Qing discovered the identity of the person who came, or this person wanted to use this to put Ruo Shui to death.Thinking of this, Xuanchi couldn't help but take a deep breath, what is the murderer's purpose?

"Do you think it's possible that the person coming is from the Devil's City?" Xuanchi asked.

"I don't know, but I don't think so, if it's Yanhuo, why didn't he take me away?
Xuanchi nodded thoughtfully, "Then guess who wants to harm you?"

Ruoshui thought for a long time, then shook his head hesitantly.

Xuan Chi saw that she was at a loss, so he stopped asking.Before he left, he explained that she would be interrogated by the elders of the Disciplinary Academy tomorrow, so that she would be prepared to use Master as a shield if necessary.

Ruoshui looked at him gratefully, and felt a lot more relaxed.

The highest judicial organ in Kunlun is not the Hall of Law Enforcement, but the Court of Precepts.There are three elders in charge there, namely Ji Ming, Ji Hui, and Ji Yan.These three teachers came from the same sect, and they were harsh in temperament, and they specially punished the disciples who had suffered serious crimes.

At this moment, the Xuanpu hall was surrounded by disciples who came to watch the trial, and Ruoshui knelt in the hall with a mournful face.

Xuanchi sat on the main hall, and next to him were three dark-faced, serious old men, Ji Ming, Ji Hui, and Ji Yan.

"Why did you kill Xuanqing? Who ordered you? Come on!" Jihui asked coldly first.

Ruoshui kowtowed, "Qi Elder, Ruoshui didn't kill Senior Brother Xuanqing, someone else killed him, let's look at the three enlightenments."

"In this way, we have wronged you?"

Ruoshui remained silent.

Ji Yan was short-tempered, seeing Ruoshui's silence, he thought it was contempt for the Discipline Academy, and said sternly: "What a cunning woman. She won't admit to killing her fellow disciples. If you didn't kill Xuanqing, how could your sword There are his bloodstains. Hurry up and recruit."

"Even if you kill me, that's the same thing." Ruoshui shouted.

"What a stubborn girl. Come here! Give me fifty rods first, and then I'll see how hard your bones are." Ji Yan yelled angrily.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two disciples tied Ruoshui to the bench, and then the wooden board with thick arms hit Ruoshui's thin body hard.

Ruoshui has a stubborn temper, so he made up his mind not to shout.She was very angry at this moment, Xuanqing was killed for no reason, they didn't catch the real murderer, but wasted time here.She felt that these people seemed to be sanctimonious and upright, but they were all stubborn people.

She has been a policeman for many years, and she even knows that everything should not be seen on the surface, but these people are so indiscriminate, which is extremely disappointing.

The board was thick and heavy, and Ruoshui felt a burning pain in his back after being hit by it more than twenty times, and he was about to be unable to hold on.Beads of sweat covered his forehead, and even his breathing became heavy.

"Okay!" Xuanchi said coldly, "Before the elders find out the truth, are they going to beat her to death?"

After receiving the order from the master, the disciple who was punished with a stick looked at Ji Yan again, not knowing what to do.But since the headmaster had spoken, they dared not disobey their orders and pushed aside respectfully.

"Master!" Ji Yan said with a sullen face, apparently very displeased with Xuan Chi's protection behavior, "This woman is cunning by nature, and if she is not punished, she may not be able to admit it. The master has always been fair, is he going to protect a criminal now? The dead Xuan Chi Qing and Kunlun disciples, how does the master plan to explain?"

Some of the disciples also echoed Jiyan, and wanted the headmaster to give an explanation.

Xuan Chi was choked by Ji Yan's words, he was speechless, he glanced at everyone coldly, and said majesticly: "Kunlun never bends the law for personal gain, but he can't wrong an innocent person. There are still doubts about death, how can you easily draw a conclusion?"

Xuan Chi's questioning left the domineering Ji Yan speechless, he snorted and retreated to his seat.

Seeing that things were going to get tense, Ji Hui hurriedly asked his disciple to help Ruoshui down, and asked her to move a chair for her to sit on. Then he asked, "Ruoshui, tell me about yesterday's situation in detail. If you dare to hide it, I will not forgive you lightly."

Ruoshui nodded weakly, and said with difficulty: "That day, I was copying the scriptures in Shugechao with Senior Brother Xuanqing, and I fell asleep unconsciously. In a daze, I suddenly heard movement outside. We blew out the candles and fell behind the door. Later , a black shadow broke through the window."

"Can you see the man's face clearly?" Ji Hui asked.

Ruoshui said: "No. The room is too dark, and the man is still wearing a veil, so he can't see clearly."

"Go ahead and talk!"

"The man attacked us as soon as he entered the house, and he shot very quickly. I couldn't hold back and was defeated, so he fought with Xuan Qing..."

"and after?"

"Later, I smelled a fragrance, and my head became dizzy. I just felt that someone was holding my arm, and then I didn't know anything. When I woke up, I saw Xuanqing...he Falling in a pool of blood..." Ruoshui said this, feeling sore in his heart, he couldn't go on.

"You are talking nonsense!" Ji Ming shouted, "We went to the Book Pavilion to investigate, and there was no trace of the third person at all. Don't think that we are all fools, easy to deceive. Tell me, have you been burned by the flames?" Assignment, want to harm Kunlun? Say it!"

Ruoshui was startled by the sound of drinking, "No! I have nothing to do with Yanhuo. Besides, the disciple received Kunlun's great favor, wouldn't it be detrimental to the master?"

"At this moment, you still want to lie. Let me ask you, why all the Kunlun disciples were imprisoned in the magic capital, but you were an exception? Don't you dare to say that you didn't make some kind of deal with Yanhuo in private? ?” Ji Ming said coldly.

If Shui felt wronged, she agreed to Yanhuo to help him find the dragon's veins, which was an expedient measure, mainly because she wanted to ask everyone.But now the old man is using it as an argument, which is really chilling.

She moved her lips and wanted to explain, but she hated others for wronging her for no reason the most in her life, and said coldly: "I have a clear conscience, if the elder thinks that Ruoshui has something to do with that Yanhuo, then I can't help it. What crime do you want to impose?" There is no reason to suffer!"

"Ruoshui, don't be rude!" Xuanchi shouted, fearing that Ruoshui would anger the elders of the Discipline Academy again and suffer.

Ji Yan winked at the other two senior brothers, then took a step forward and said to Xuan Chi: "Master, this little girl is very cunning, now that the facts are in front of her, she still insists on making excuses and lies. According to me Wait and see, it's better to execute him immediately, as a warning to others."

"Yes, the head. Yanhuo and us have always been at odds. I think Xiao Ruoshui is really the spy he sent to Kunlun. As the saying goes, take precautions before they happen. Take precautions for Kunlun." Jihui and Jiming also Say.

Xuanchi remained silent, he didn't know how to save Ruoshui at this moment.

"The three elders are right. This Xiao Ruoshui is a demon girl. Please take revenge for Xuanqing and kill her!"

At this time, a woman's sharp, sad and angry voice sounded in the hall.Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was Xuan Yao.She was dressed in white and rushed in with hatred in her eyes.

"Her origin is unknown. Ever since she came, Kunlun has suffered many catastrophes." Xuan Yao knelt on the ground with a plop, and said sharply, "How do you think the former head of Xiaoyao was injured last time? It was this witch."

"What proof do you have?" Ji Yan seemed taken aback and asked hastily.

Xuan Yao took out a piece of purple crystal from her sleeve, shook it and said, "Everyone here must know the origin of this crystal, right?"

"Isn't this the crystal that seals the thousand-faced fox?" Everyone chattered.

"That's right, this is it. This demon girl" she pointed at Ruoshui with trembling fingers, "she broke into Tianlei Tower and let Qianmianhu go, and even colluded with Ji Wuxie to severely injure the leader. Really, she blindly pretended to be pitiful in front of the head of Xiaoyao, making the head think that she did it accidentally, so she concealed the truth. In this way, she can continue her evil deeds in Kunlun. It's not that the little girl found this crystal, we are still being fooled by her."

Looking at the good sisters in the past, now accusing herself full of hatred and resentment, Ruoshui only has a wry smile in his heart.She didn't want to argue anymore. After all, Xuan Qing died to accompany her in copying books. How could she not understand Xuan Yao's behavior?

"Xiao Ruoshui! What else do you want to say?" Ji Ming snorted coldly.

Ruoshui shook his head, "Let everything be handled by the elders!"

"Okay! Sect Leader, let's give an order!" The three elders said in unison.

"Sect Leader, please give an order!" All the disciples knelt down and begged.

Xuan Chi clenched his fists tightly, blood oozing from his palms.

"Master entrusted Ruoshui to me before retreating. Since you think Ruoshui is guilty, it is my crime of lax discipline. I will resign from the position of head right now, and you will kill me too!"

"Is the head threatening us with our lives?" Ji Yan said coldly.

"Even if the emperor breaks the law, he is the same as the common people, let alone I am the example of Kunlun. The disciples of the sect made mistakes, how can I, the head of the sect, stay out of it?"

Xuanchi handed over the Purple Light Sword, and walked towards Ruoshui without looking back. . . . . .
