Chapter 6: Greater Good Scapegoating
Out of the Silk Rain City Yelu Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief could not imagine that he almost did someone else's lunch heart still has lingering palpitations.
The white tiger but kept grunting like in a sulk.
Yelu Yun smiled and said: "Thief tiger your pants have not done it not afraid?"
The white tiger grunted and said, "Who dares to hit me I will never let him go."
"Really?" Yelu Yun snickered suddenly slapped on the white tiger's butt scared it roared and ran wildly.
After running for a long time they finally saw the fence and the entrance in the distance as well as the towering zenith. The exit is still shuttling people a lot of people are still not out. Yelu Yun sat for a while in his head vaguely remembered where the tent was after organizing his thoughts for a while, he followed his memory of the map step by step to find.
Around has gathered a lot of people have just come out some waiting for relatives there are also many people are ready to leave the hustle and bustle. Come to the people more or less have got some things for the zenith fairy edge to their instructions no one dare not believe that no one will doubt so no one will go to envy others because the sky book is just a start behind the road but also * their own efforts.
Because the scene is very chaotic, so Yelu Yun looked for a long time to find Xiao Bai's tent excitedly rushed in to take a look but there is no sign of Xiao's father and son.
After the battle and shock body and mind has been very tired white tiger can not help but lie down in the tent and fell asleep.
Yelu Yun compassionately touched the white tiger on the back of the burnt fur and then lie down on the side of the white tiger also fell asleep.
When Yelu Yun sleep is fragrant when suddenly felt someone in the pat himself he opened his eyes to see is Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai laughed: "Where did you go I searched for a day did not think you actually slept here."
Yelu Yun smiled bitterly, "I almost couldn't come back."
Xiao Bai was shocked and asked anxiously, "What happened."
Yelu Yun will be in the Silk Rain City happened to say once again heard Xiao Bai dumbfounded after a long time before reacting to sighed: "actually have this kind of thing? What kind of person is so powerful even the heavenly soldiers are easy to defeat and also is not the heavenly world people seems to Linglong heaven really want to have trouble."
Yelu Yun looked around and asked, "Where are the Heavenly Chief and White Tiger?"
Xiao Bai laughed: "Tian Chang took the white tiger to take a bath just now I didn't have time to ask unexpectedly the white tiger this time almost became a roasted tiger meat."
Yelu Yun sighed, "It's me who dragged it down Fortunately, it's fine." Suddenly laughed again and said: "Someone wants to eat tiger whip it scared and said to marry the tigress it."
Xiao Bai also laughed wildly and said, "This white tiger is really funny, no wonder noisy to go to the human world originally want to find a tigress."
Laughed for a while Yelu Yun suddenly remembered the four demons, said: "uncle since the four demons are not people in the heavenly realm you might as well go to tell the heavenly court so that they divert attention and there are also Silk Rain City people as witnesses more convincing."
Xiao Bai happily slapped his thighs and shouted, "Good idea I'll go find someone." He smiled and went out.
In fact, he did not need to say the Silk Rain City's celestial soldiers have already told the matter Zhu Tiecheng's first reaction is to link the case with the demon and Silk Rain City is his jurisdiction how can not be alarmed, so he hurriedly rushed back.
Back to the dial cloud city of people a lot of people and a lot of people to the southeast to go so a lot of people crowded together in a vast swarm to dial cloud city into this situation to Xiao Bai and Yelu Yun more at ease they mixed in the crowd in the center of the daily banter to relieve boredom and no trouble so do not stand out. The only thing is that Yelu Yun is also a bit of a problem when it comes to finding food, but he has always been very careful to only find some wild fruits to fill up the hunger, and no animals dare to touch them again.
Quite a few people who know Xiao Bai have also asked about Yelu Yun, but Xiao Bai said that he was a distant relative to take care of him for a period of time, and Yelu Yun has always been mute and silent, and some people asked about it just smiled back, so after a few days no one paid attention to him again. As the journey changed, the crowd gradually reduced into small groups and marched towards their own city.
This day the group once again came to the shores of Lake Xia, the lake and mountains are breathtakingly beautiful, but for Xiao Bai and Yelu Yun is an unforgettable place.
After resting the team continued on the road but did not go far to see the road in front of the sudden appearance of a team of heavenly soldiers stood in the avenue above the head of a man bundled purple gold crown wearing silver armor colorful robes hand-held halberd crotch sitting on the crotch of a green dragon with teeth and claws.
Green dragon body length of more than ten feet of green scales and white claws is not imposing is rising up in the air to stand steadily in the air.
This team to dial cloud city's main so Xiao Bai followed the leader of the dial cloud city TianGong FangYue together walked to the front of the dragon general asked: "May I ask why stop us walking?" ?
The Heavenly General looked stern and said in a deep voice: "This General is the first class Green Dragon Heavenly General Wu Xiaoming of the Heavenly Martial Academy Are you the people of Dial Cloud City?"
"Heavenly Martial Academy!" Fang Yue and Xiao Bai were taken aback. This "Heavenly Martial Academy" is a sacred place in Linglong Heaven, those who can enter it are people with extremely high heavenly arts and are appointed as Heavenly Generals according to their rank, and are usually seldom used to their surprise, but they actually saw the Heavenly Martial Academy's Heavenly Generals in the countryside, and they are also the first-class Green Dragon Heavenly Generals with a high status. The first class Qinglong Tiangong is of high status.
Xiao Bai suppressed his heart's restraint and calmly responded, "We are exactly the people of Dial Cloud City, do you know what General Wu has to do?"
WuXiaoMing face look slightly relaxed lightly said: "this will be ordered to investigate a case three years ago there is a color demon snake was killed here although this is not a big deal but the heavenly rule is not presumptuous waste must get the murderer and the case when there are dialing the clouds of the city of the people resting at the lake so this will come to ask."
Xiao Bai heart slightly panicked but did not dare to show the slightest footwear smiled and responded: "General Wu do not know that at the time in the shores of Lake Xia tens of thousands of people dial cloud city is only a small portion of the road in all directions of the people have joined the large queue to walk together at this time are dispersed, so it may not be our dial cloud city of the people to do."
"Not bad this is not the people of the heavenly realm did but the people of the human realm did the dialing clouds city is very close to the southwest of the heavenly gate maybe there are people of the human realm mixed in. Of course, I am not saying that the people of Dialing Cloud City have suspicions, but just checking the peace of mind a little moreover, Dialing Cloud City has already checked only those who entered the zenith of the people."
"The sky general jokingly the human world people turbid gas entangled body can easily be found and at that time no one raised doubts and between the two realms of the channel is open to have more than nine it is very difficult to determine where the problem is."
"Although the words are reasonable, but after the case just coincidentally the chief criminal Liu Fei of the heavenly punishment passed by there by him to find the turbid qi of the human world only to turn into the underground hidden. This matter reported to the heavenly court after the hundred officials shocked this matter if no one to guide the human world of people simply can not enter the heavenly world must be someone private human world to bring people up. This is a matter of great importance before there has been a great impact, so can not not be strictly dealt with if you send people to the immortal world to invite the next immortal weapon naturally the fastest can be done, but Linglong King does not want to publicize the matter so sent me to check."
"In these three years every city has been checked many times hasn't there been nothing found?"
"Not bad, but as long as I can't find out what's going on, I can't go back and deliver."
"Maybe they've already escaped back to the human realm what if that's the case?"
"If that's the case, I'll ask Heaven's decree to go to the human realm to look for them."
Wu Xiaoming's persistence in his responsibilities made Xiao Bai admire him greatly but he was also troubled by his relentless pursuit.
"There is no need to worry I will be done soon."
Xiao Bai was shocked but he had no power to stop them from checking and was afraid of overreacting and causing suspicion so he nodded his head and personally led them to check and casually said, "General could it be that someone has privately gone down to the human realm to bring the turbid qi up." ?
"This is also very likely to the ability of people in the human world, I'm afraid that even if they come up can not survive the beasts here for the earth's turbid gas is very sensitive will definitely attack them people in the human world I'm afraid that they can not resist." ?
Xiao Bai added, "Doesn't General Wu know? Checkpoints have been set up outside the zenith and all of us have been inspected and there is nothing present I don't think the general needs to check anymore."
Wu Xiaoming laughed softly, "I know, but I have some suspicions about the Southeast Channel. I went there to check, and it seems that the gate of the channel has been moved many times, and I also found traces of wear and tear on the gate, which means that it is often opened and closed by people. Although there is already dust on it, but as long as one observes it carefully, one will be able to find something."
Xiao Bai sucked in a breath of cool air and thought, "I can't imagine that such a small hole has been found by him... He is worthy of being a Heavenly General from the Heavenly Martial Arts Academy... It seems that he is implying that the guards at the Southeast Heavenly Gate have been in and out... Sooner or later, he will be able to find out about me... What should I do?" His eyes involuntarily swept towards Yelu Yun in the crowd.
Yelu Yun appeared a bit fidgety his own strength I'm afraid can only slightly better than Xiao Tian Chang want to defeat the dragon riding sky general is simply a mirage but in full view of the public to escape is not easy. The biggest problem is that this matter not only involves himself but also the Xiao family family so he made up his mind that no matter what, he will die that he broke into the heavenly realm.
Xiao Tianchang saw him look nervous and gently kicked him.
Yelu Yun whispered: "In case it really does not work, you catch me and give it to him."
Xiao Tianchang froze for a moment and then realized that Yelu Yun wanted to use himself to help the Xiao family to take the blame and couldn't help but be very touched and said in a small voice: "Xiao Yun!
Don't be afraid of something we will deal with it together, anyway, we don't need to die, it's just being banished. No big deal."
Yelu Yun gratefully looked at his right hand tightly pinch the silver gun look but relaxed a lot because he has already will be gained or lost look away.
WuXiaoMing divided his men into 50 people in a row from the front of the line to start checking one by one, in fact, just to see if there is anyone with the turbid qi of the human world.
The White Tiger suddenly roared at Wu Xiaoming's Green Dragon. The green dragon also returned the color in the air with teeth and claws circling.
Wu Xiaoming glanced at the white tiger and laughed, "I can't imagine that there is a cloud tiger only the fur is worse Whose mount is this?"
Xiao Bai responded, "It is the mount of my humble servant."
Wu Xiaoming said: "Your luck is good even in the Tianchi courtyard there are not a few cloud tigers only a little worse than me this Qinglong."
The white tiger defiantly roared again.
Wu Xiaoming glanced at the white tiger beside the Yelu Yun look dumbfounded and then clear whistle driving the green dragon flew towards Yelu Yun.
Xiao Bai couldn't help but call out, "General I know who the culprit is."
Although the voice is small, but people can hear clearly Wu Xiaoming violently pulled the green dragon turned back to stare at Xiao Bai asked in a deep voice: "Who is it?"
Xiao Bai took a deep breath and slowly said, "It's me."
Fang Yue was startled and grabbed Xiao Bai's clothes with one hand and shouted, "General Xiao this is not a joke you can't talk nonsense."
Xiao Bai sighed and said: "I was greedy for the mouth so I went to the human world to look for game who knew that it was stained with the turbid gas and then the colorful demonic snake detected the turbid gas on my body so it attacked me I had to fight with the snake in order to defend myself and accidentally killed the colorful demonic snake by mistake."
Wu Xiaoming came to Xiao Bai's front very calmly looked at Xiao Bai's eyes after a long time before he said, "You have violated the laws of heaven go back with me!"
Xiao Bai once again glanced at the crowd but found no sign of Yelu Yun and his son. He first froze and then smiled and said, "Since I have violated the laws of the heavens, I should be punished, generals do not have to be merciful, how you want to dispose of it can be."
Wu Xiaoming nodded and said, "I am only responsible for the investigation I have no authority to dispose of you I will take you back to Linglong Emperor will make the final decision."
Xiao Bai smiled faintly and said, "That's good By the way, Silk Rain City really has people from the human world appeared and killed people General if you have time, you'd better go and take a look at it I'm afraid that thing is even more important than this one of mine."
Wu Xiaoming ate a shock and asked, "So there are other people in the human world are you put up?"
Xiao Bai shook his head and said, "I heard that there are only four people who first went to the underworld and then came here from the underworld."
Only then did Wu Xiaoming come to a realization and said, "The Underworld coming to the Heavenly Realm is easier than the human realm these four people went so far as to kill people in the Heavenly Realm this is the heaviest crime in the Heavenly Realm it cannot be ignored." He turned to the heavenly soldiers and shouted, "Don't investigate quickly follow me to Silk Rain City."
Xiao Bai asked, "Can you let me speak to my son?"
Wu Xiaoming nodded grimly and rode the green dragon to straighten out the team.
Xiao Bai walked over to Xiao Tian Chang's side to see Yelu Yun lying unconscious on the tiger's back. He smiled and ambled over to his son's ear and muttered for a while.
Xiao Tianchang nodded and shook his head at times while his tears fell uncontrollably He knew that his father had committed a great crime Although there was no death penalty in the heavenly realm, it would not be easy for him to accept if his father was banished from the other realm.
Although not everyone in the dial cloud city is familiar with Xiao Bai, but they all know that the dial cloud city has always been peaceful, so the governance of the dial cloud city have a kind of respect for the people at the moment on the Xiao Bai is also the same and no one thinks that the Xiao Bai in order to self-defense to kill the colorful demonic snake should be punished severely so they have to speak out of the consolation.
Wu Xiaoming finished organizing his men and once again walked to Xiao Bai's side glanced at Yelu Yun on the tiger's back and asked, "What happened to him?"
Xiao Tian Chang said, "Maybe he is too tired."
Wu Xiaoming suddenly said, "He got a good gun! I saw it before my eyes just now."
Xiao Bai father and son froze for a moment, then realized why Wu Xiaoming just flew to Yelu Yun original is for Yelu Yun hands of the gun can not help but secretly sighed in the heart of the will of heaven is difficult to change.
Wu Xiaoming eyes stared straight at the gun in the hands of Yelu Yun loudly praised: "Good gun really good gun."
Xiao Tianchang reported: "General this gun is from the zenith."
WuXiaoMing nodded and said: "the original is from the zenith to get to no wonder I always thought that the zenith can only get the sky book never thought that there is this kind of divine weapon." Said with a face of delight reached out to touch it.
However, he also seemed to be electrocuted as violently retracted his hand could not help but be surprised sigh: "It seems that the divine gun and I have no destiny." Said he turned his head and solemnly instructed: "Since it is the zenith is bound to be immortal to get this kind of good gun must be his future development is unlimited to tell him to practice well do not live up to this gun."
"Yes general when he wakes up I will definitely convey general's good advice."
WuXiaoMing glanced at YeluYun's empty left arm and let out a long sigh of frustration as he stepped onto the green dragon and muttered, "My immortal destiny is not enough to even grasp this kind of immortal thing yet what to talk about ascending into the immortal class."
Although Wu Xiaoming repeatedly praised but Yelu Yun can not hear anything when he woke up has been the next day Xiao Tianchang silent and speechless sitting beside him face full of sadness.
Yelu Yun touched the back of his head and only remembered that the back of his head was hit by someone heavily and then fainted Thinking of Xiao Bai confessed to the crime he jumped up unconsciously and called out, "Uncle."
Xiao Tian Chang was startled and covered his mouth with one hand and whispered, "Don't make noise."
Yelu Yun looked at Xiao Tianchang with a pale face.
Tears rolled from Xiao Tianchang's eyes a few times and finally slipped out.
Yelu Yun pinched Xiao Tian Chang's hand and said excitedly, "Why did you knock me out? I should be the one to receive the crime I committed."
Xiao Tianchang said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yun if you can not calm down I will knock you out again."
"But uncle he ......"
"Xiao Yun the heavenly realm does not have a capital crime father although he will be punished but he is self-defense so the responsibility is not all on the body of the father if you go to confess the problem will be big father privately release the human realm people to come to the heavenly realm will surely add to the crime so you go not only can't save the father instead it will make the father to be punished even more heavily."
"How can I watch my uncle suffer I'm going to save him."
"What do you have the right to save father your strength even I can not beat how can go to fight the heavenly general that Wu Xiaoming you have also seen you can beat him?"
"But ......"
"Don't let father's efforts go to waste."
Yelu Yun knows that his own strength is not good not possible to defeat the heavenly generals can only hate stomped his foot complained: "all is my bad uncle now where is it? I want to go see him."
"No father said when he left that his greatest wish was to see your left hand recovered unless that day comes he won't see you I don't think you have the face to see him either. Father and I both hope that you will return to the human world early and find the Immortal Jade and the Illusory Spirit Vine as soon as possible."
"But I can't rest assured!"
"Don't worry there is actually no death in the world human realm, heaven realm, underworld, and immortal realm people are always going back and forth between these places it's just a different way. You don't get too attached to concentrate on practicing or you don't even have the ability to go back to the heavenly realm we don't have a way to see each other again."
Yelu Yun held his head and squatted on the ground and thought for a while and nodded, "Alright I will do my best to practice."
Xiao Tian Chang said, "Now there is still the problem father was captured the gate of heaven is hard to open to find a way to send you down."
Yelu Yun sighed: "I don't have the face to go see aunt."
"I think Mother has already prepared her heart we will go back to Dial Cloud City first and talk about other things later." ?
Although Xiao Bai was arrested, Yelu Yun didn't dare to show his face again and hid in one of the carriages containing military supplies.
Came to the dial cloud city outside the crowd has been much less far look outside the city gate seems to have many heavenly soldiers and generals in the checking in and out of the people. Xiao Tian Chang saw that the situation was not right and Yelu Yun immediately fled into the woods.
"Xiao Yun you temporarily hide in the woods outside the city for a while I'll go back first the heavenly soldiers still don't know about my father but as long as the matter spreads the inspection will surely be canceled at that time I'll take you into the city again."
"Tian Chang don't worry I know what to do I'll wait for you in the woods for the next few days."
"Good I'll go first don't go anywhere." Xiao Tian Chang looked around and saw that no one was paying attention then hurriedly caught up with the queue.
Yelu Yun's mood at this time was very complicated a little nervous a little worried and a little uneasy. Thinking of his father who had been away for three years, he was extremely nostalgic and could not wait to get back to the human world, but without Xiao Bai, the next human world would become a big problem.
Raise his eyes and look around there are only trees and not even an animal under the upset had to dance up the gun in the zenith learned peach blossom gun method one by one to show out but the power seems to be suddenly weaker a lot of heart, "the world is really no matter of trickery to get the gun has been a great fortune in the future to be practiced so as to make the power of the gun method to enhance." Thinking of this he practiced more vigorously here there is no peach blossom he had to use fallen leaves to help so there is less charm and intent but the power is still considerable.
"Good shot!" An exclamation of praise startled Yelu Yun he violently turned around to see a twenty-year-old youth is standing three feet away with a smile on his face and hand shaking the feather fan.
Yelu Yun put away his gun and asked: "Who are you?"
The young man lightly shook the feather fan and laughed: "Guan Haoyue four directions cloud traveling unexpectedly here to see such a wonderful gun art."
Yelu Yun thought less talk is better, so he smiled and did not say anything, put away his gun and left.
Guan Haoyue said: "Why do not you practice?"
Yelu Yun smiled faintly and said, "I'm tired."
Guan Haoyue smiled and said, "In that case, would you like to sit down and talk?"
"No need I still have things to do." Yelu Yun smiled and declined Guan Haoyue's invitation, carrying his gun towards the depths of the woods.
Seeing him like this, Guan Haoyue just gently smiled and turned to leave.
The next morning Xiao Tianchang rushed to the forest, Yelu Yun had been waiting for a long time, and when Xiao Bai came, he asked anxiously, "Is there a way? When can I go down?"
Xiao Tianchang sighed with a difficult look on his face, "Xiao Yun will have to think of another way to have a chance."
"Why is that?" The anticipation on Yelu Yun's face immediately turned into a cloud of worry and concern.
"In the past, guarding the heavenly gate is a piece of excellent difference two people a class of low vigilance can easily go down because no one is willing to go down to the human world stained on the turbid gas so the guards are very loose, but since the event of the colorful demon snake after the heavenly court ordered the nine heavenly gates to send manpower to guard heavily now become fifty people a post to search back and forth to check to avoid someone mixing with the water to find the fish. I originally thought that there were not many guards so I planned to fish in troubled waters but not anymore."
"So I have no way to go back?" Things are twisting and turning Yelu Yun can't do anything but wait, but in his heart, he is getting more and more concerned about his father's mood is very bad.
"Although it is not easy I have thought of a risky move a month after the dial cloud city there is a heavenly art competition tournament through the competition assessment promotion so the southwest heavenly gate guards will certainly participate. And my father was arrested again so the vigilance will be weakened the guards of the gate will also be reduced. I intend to transfer the guards away from the mountain when the time comes you take the opportunity to break through the gate."
Yelu Yun saw that there is still a chance to feel a little bit more at ease and said, "I have already waited for more than three years and it's okay to wait for another month, but I'm afraid that it will involve you."
"This is the right thing to do if you can't go back we are all in trouble it's better to take a chance." Xiao Tianchang understood his feelings and sighed: "You first come back to the city with me I have tried to find out that the security check has loosened up a lot and now I'm not afraid of anything when I enter the city."
Yelu Yun nodded and followed behind Xiao Tianchang to the city gate although Xiao Tianchang is sure but the face of the city gate of the heavenly soldiers Yelu Yun's heart is always a little uneasy can only be forced to calm down with a smile and Xiao Tianchang talk and laugh.
Soldiers saw Xiao Tianchang remembered his father are sighing and greeted him really did not come to check.
After the city gates Yelu Yun only then breathed a sigh of relief turned back to look at the city gates of the heavenly soldiers could not help but wipe the cold sweat on the forehead heart: "or in the mountains and forests in the middle of the hunt refreshing."
"Brother Tai we meet again." Guan Haoyue came behind Yelu Yun at some point and gestured with a smile.
Yelu Yun was startled and muttered in his heart that he had no acquaintance in the city why someone called out to him he turned around and saw that it was Guan Haoyue who was relieved and said with a slight smile, "It's you."
"I'm tired from the trip so I came into the city to take a rest. Do you live in the city? I don't know your name?"
Yelu Yun thought: "Anyway, real or fake is a name who does not know as well as directly say the heart is also more open." So he answered, "My name is Yelu Yun."
Xiao Tian Chang was also surprised to see someone recognize Yelu Yun and interjected, "Who is this?"
Guan Haoyue smiled and said, "My name is Guan Haoyue a quadrangle traveler."
Xiao Tianchang arched his hand and said, "I am Xiao Tianchang."
"It's better to meet each other than to meet by chance Would you two like to have a drink?"
"This ......" Xiao Tianchang hesitated for a while glanced at Yelu Yun and said, "I won't drink and we still have things to do another day!"
"In that case I won't force it Brother Yelu how about we go by ourselves?"
Yelu Yun also excused himself, "Brother Xiao and I have things to do, let's do it another day!"
Guan Haoyue didn't mind and smiled, "In that case I won't force myself."
"Farewell." Xiao Tianchang arched his hand to Guan Haoyue then pulled Yelu Yun away asking as he walked, "You know him?"
"Yesterday in the forest practicing his gun he just happened to pass by and said a few words never thought he would run into him again in the city."
Xiao Tian Chang nodded not minding and accelerated his pace towards his home.
Once into the Xiao family will see Jiang Yan in front of the hall wiping tears. Yelu Yun a arrow step will leap in to worship in front of Jiang Yan cried: "Xiao Yun harmed the uncle please aunt chastisement." ?
Jiang Yan face sadness eye circles and red up she wiped the corners of her eyes sighed: "This thing can not blame you is your uncle gluttony caused trouble in fact, I had expected such a day you do not have to be too self-condemnation of your uncle's words days long have told me you do not let down your uncle's a piece of the hard work."
"Yes Xiao Yun vowed not to rest until his left hand is repaired."
"Good boy go back and rest hopefully in a month's time it will really be as good as you want it to be."
