Ch.66: To Ascend is Human; to Fall is Also Human

Feng Xin still thought the notion rather unbelievable, but didn't make any difference. Oh, he said. Xi Lin wanted to laugh, watching them talk. Mu Ching continued. Besides, there's sewn patches on his face. Judging by the needlework, it must have been done by a grown up, only just recently. So there's at least someone of age in his household. His family situation may not be the best, but he's definitely not a personal. Naturally, Shillion would not notice the details

Nor whether it was done by adults. But Mu Ching used to be an errand boy at the Royal Holy Pavilion, and also did all So when Shillion looked closely, it was indeed as he had said. So he asked, Do you have grown young? That young child shook his head, but Mu Ching said, There must be. If he doesn't go back, his family would be worried sick looking for him.

'No, no way, there's nobody. The young child cried, sounding like he was afraid to be sent back, and he opened his arms, reaching for shield. He was still covered with mud and blood, and Feng Xin couldn't stand it anymore. Kid, what the hell are you doing? Things were urgent earlier, so whatever. But shouldn't you know better by now? This is the crown prince, the crown prince. Do you understand?

' That young child's arms immediately shrank back, but he was still gazing at Shirley. There's fighting at home, and I got kicked out. I walked for a long time, but I had no The other three looked at each other. After a moment Feng Xin said So what now? One of the imperial doctors suggested if his highness is troubled, he can be placed sure in the palace and have a few attention.

Xi Lin hummed, but after some thought, shook his head slowly. At the end of the day, he was afraid that Chirong wouldn't get him. And that he would sneak out to cause trouble. The way I see it, it's still best if I watch over the it seems his family won't be able to look after him. Fung Xin, when you go to take care of the affected stalls toppled by Qi Rong, see if you can find and let them know. Alright, function.

One of his arms was still in a sling, but he extended the good arm to reach for that young child, intending to pick him up by the collar. Shillion laughed. You're wounded, don't worry. However, Feng Xin shrugged it off. Only one arm is broken, the other is still fine. If both my arms were broken, I can still use my teeth to carry him by the hand. But just as he made one step forward, that young child jumped.

I can walk on my own. An expression filled with rejection spoke louder than words, and it made Mu Qing's second step extremely awkward, unsure of whether or not to prevent. That little kid had five broken ribs and a broken leg, but he was still as well. Shilin really didn't know whether to laugh or to feel concerned. He said stop running around. Then he bent down and picked him up. The three of them with the child in tears.

Since Chirong caused havoc on the streets earlier and disturbed the townspeople, toppling a number of stalls, Xilin felt deeply. Having no face to meet any of the citizens, so the group snuck around, afraid to show their faces, using only the pocket. Throughout the entire way that small child was extremely docile in Shillian's arms. They told him to be free.

Feng Xin glared This brat kicked me yesterday, but look at him now. He really knows how to pick them. It's his Highness, the crown prince. Of course he's more well liked than me. For some reason, even if he said something well meaning, the words he used still make it. Feng Xin refused to acknowledge what he had said. After walking for a while, Feng Xin spoke up. No, I still feel that Your Highness shouldn't let anyone see you holding a strange child. What's the You're the crown prince.

While he spoke, he saw a worn down hand caught further out of the room. Put the kid in that cart and pull it to go. Mu Ching immediately voiced Just so we're clear I will not pull that thing up the mountain. No one said. He reached out and pulled the child from Shillion's arms, and the child started struggling again. Never mind, forget it. Maybe someone else could

Just then, from somewhere nearby, someone suddenly called out. Are you... Another immediately shouted, Yes, yes, that's the Crown Prince. His mask fell yesterday, and I saw his face with my own eyes. That's him. Catch him. The three of them froze, their hearts dropped. Although Shirlian didn't think that he did anything wrong at the heavenly ceremonial procession the day before, he also knew that others might To cut short a god pleasing martial ceremony was an ominous thing.

It was unspeakable amongst the nobility, and when all the excitement wore off after the fact, when the people started wondering what it all meant, they probably wouldn't be as forgiveness. Adding on the havoc on the streets caused by Chirong, the complaints must be expensive. If they were to be surrounded now, it might end badly. Without thinking any deeper, Mu Ching grasped the

Your Highness, run. Feng Xin was pulling the cart and also urged, Your Highness, I've broken an arm. I won't be able to stop anyone rioting. Go. However, outside the alleyway there was already a mass of people who were pouring in, their faces full with excitement, blocking all viable exits. The four of whom and watched wide eyed as they became encircled. Shirin thought boldly, if anything, I'll just let them beat us down without fighting back.

However, unexpectedly, although the crowd poured in, they didn't pulverize them. Instead, a number of hands reached out and threw them into the air, cheering. Shiin was thrown into the air countless times, but still maintained a calm and still. The people shouted Your Highness, that leap yesterday on the Marshall Diety Avenue was speculated. Someone exclaimed. That was such an amazing jump. Really, I totally thought that the heavenly martial emperor himself had descended. I had goosebumps.

Another validated. His Highness was right to save the kid. A life is a life. Do they think that kids from us poor people aren't the same? If it were me, Another aged. That's right. Today there was talk of how his Highness had ruined the event, and I just couldn't stand it. If it had been a royal or a noble who had fallen, then they would have Your Highness, don't mind those people. His Highness is the one who truly cares.

Shilin went from feeling guilty at the beginning, then disoriented halfway through, until finally he was affected by the passionate and cheerful faces all around him. The crowd clustered around Shirlian, and when they emerged onto the main street, more and more. Feng Xin, Mu Ching, and that young child were pushed away and separated a far way back without any means of pushing through, and could only follow along.

The parade This large assembly of people was surprisingly not smaller than the crowd from the desert. Every time Shinin made a move to leave, he would be forcibly dragged back in and thrown into the air without any chance. And reassuring, as he thought to himself, the people and Gorsha have completely opposite sentiments. It looks like I

When at last they reached Mount Tiersung, the setting sun was ablaze. Passing through the large mountain gates on the long winding stone path, there were a number of Chinese and freshman. Fung Xin was pulling that hand cart with one hand like a hard working, serious young black bull. Xu Lin and Mu Ching smiled back dutifully at first, but after a while they stopped caring. The maple trees were endless, and the wheels turned calmly. He was feeling good, and asked the young child another question.

Little kid, what is your name really? Hongwat. That young child watched him and said in a small voice I don't have a name. Shellin was taken aback. Your mother didn't give you a name? That young child shook his head. My mother called Then what did your mother used to call you? That young child was hesitant for a minute, then replied Hon. Shillian smiled. That's a cute nickname. I'll call you that from now on. Hong Hung A seemed to be shy whenever they talked, and lowered his head.

Just then the sun was about to set, and the lights were ignited from each of the pavilions all over the mountain. Amongst them, the brightest was, of course, the highest peak, the great Marshall Zion. As day. The lights gathered like stars. Shilin sighed as he watched. The sigh wasn't born of sadness, but from the scenery that emanated the side. Every bit of light within the hall was an offered, everlasting lamp. Each lamp contained the prayers and wishes of a divine.

The more everlasting lamps there were within the temple of a god, the more perfect The chance to offer a lamp within the great marshall hall of the Royal Holy Pavilion was difficult to buy, even with a thousand. Wealth, power, ability, passion, affinity. There must be one of the five conditions fulfilled in order to enter the Yet there were many in the world that had none of the five.

Just then there was a familiar voice that called out to them Your husband. Shirlin turned his head and saw a fair faced young man hurrying toward them. It looked like the trainee who guarded the entrance of the Siang Pavilion, and Shirlin came out. Zhu Xiung What's the hurry? Zu Xiung noticed Mu Cheng standing behind, but felt a little Pretending not to have seen him. The Gorcher has been asking after you for a while now. He's waiting for you at the great Marshall. Shelen was taken above.

But figured that it must be with regards to the incident during the heavenly ceremonial procedure. Very well, and you know. Xi Lin had Feng Xin and Mu Ching take Hong Hong Ar back to the Shenla Pavilion before heading toward the great martial summit. Outside the great hall, clouds borne from the incest. And wrapped around the great martial hole, forming On either side of the vessel were long rows of bright, everlasting lamps hung in the air, neatly lined into a wall of lantern.

Every everlasting lamp had on them the name and prayer of the world. Once in the hall, on either side of the wall, were also hung rows upon rows of everlasting lamps. The lamps offered within the great marshal hall were, of course, even more valuable than the ones. In the gigantic, spacious temple, the Gorsha was offering incense before the statue of the And the three deputy Gorsha were behind him, uniformly prostrating before the great god. Shilin inclined his head when he entered. Gorsha.

The Gorsha completed their ritual before they turned their heads back and made a bad Come forward. Thus Shirin approached, took an intense stick, and also paid his respects in sincerely. It was a moment before Gorsha finally spoke. Your Highness, the four of us have deliberated. With regards to the heavenly ceremonial procession, there are but two ways to Please do enlighten.

The first method, Gorsha said, is to find the child who disrupted the procession, and then we shall conduct a ceremony. At the very least, one of his five senses must be sealed as penance.
