Chapter 1204 1204: Dying young (Part 1) [Asking for monthly votes]
Shen Tang yawned out of boredom.
She found that she couldn't control this dream at all, and could only passively listen to the voice and talk to the high priest [sound]. Her eyes fell on the child beside the high priest, and she had an inexplicable feeling of sympathy - he was probably as bored as herself.
Slightly distracted, Shen Tang found that someone was looking at him.
She followed her intuition and looked back, meeting the childish eyes.
Wanting to confirm again, the child took the initiative to look away, gently pulled the sleeves of the high priest's gorgeous robe with his chubby white hands, raised his head and asked: "High Priest, will I stay here to accompany His Highness from now on?" 】
The high priest lowered his head and looked at him.
Her pupils were glowing with light green, like a touch of life in spring. Her eyes looking at the child were full of love and a little bit of undetectable guilt: "Well, you have to serve His Highness well. When you have learned the lesson, then The only heir to my mantle! 】
The child nodded seriously: [Yeah. 】
The voice let out a sigh.
The high priest held a wooden staff, stood up straight, and bowed deeply to the wooden statue in the center of the temple: [I wish your highness success in breaking the tribulation! 】
The voice did not give any response.
The high priest was not surprised by this and left gracefully.
There was only a child left in the empty temple, and his small body looked a little pitiful. Shen Tang held his chin up and waited for this weird dream to end. At this time, there was a distorted light above and below the wooden statue, and the hazy green light turned into a human form in front of the child. It turned out to be a woman in blue.
Shen Tang's eyes were attracted to the woman in green, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
This woman is really not a stranger to Shen Tang.
The child raised his head, his heart and eyes filled with pure admiration and joy. The woman in green clothes was as cold as ice, but facing the children of the same race as the high priest, the ice and snow on her brows seemed to have been blown by the spring breeze, gradually melting away, adding a bit of warmth: [Life in the temple is not easy. 】
Zhidong said: [The high priest has said it. 】
A rare smile appeared on the lips of the woman in green, and her words seemed to be filled with anger: [How dare you come here even if you know how hard it is? Yin just said that you are only six years old this year... When Yin was sent here, she was already twelve and still stubborn. I'll give you three months to think about it. During this period, if you feel you can't hold on, you can leave at any time. 】
The child pursed his lips.
Although he is only one of the candidates trained as a high priest, he is also a person who serves God and cannot deceive or lie in the face of God. It would be a lie to say that I am not afraid. Leaving the familiar environment and relatives, living alone in the temple for decades or even hundreds of years, no one can talk to and communicate with him except the incarnation of His Highness...
There are also tedious and boring daily practices every day...
Just thinking about it is daunting.
However, he is different.
The child had the courage to hold the slender fingers of the woman in blue with his fat white hands and said word by word: "Wish to be a rock." 】
The woman in green was amused by his serious words.
【Did Yin teach you this? 】
The child shook his head: [What the elder sister in the clan said, I listened to. There is a story in the clan that before His Highness was enlightened and became a saint, he was once a vine growing around a stone by the stream. That stubborn stone has been with you for thousands of years... I also hope that it can be like a stubborn stone and serve you for a long time. 】
The woman in green pricked the child's brow with her finger.
The light shimmered slightly, condensing into a round and plump circle between his eyebrows, making the child even more cute. The woman in green smiled helplessly and said: "It's better not to be a stubborn person. I have seen someone who wants to be a waiter for me. No. I’ve seen people who want to be my parents...]
The child covered his hot and swollen eyebrows: [Huh? 】
The woman in green explained: [The so-called stones recorded in your tribe, ahem, they are the afterbirth that gave birth to me...]
Shen Tang almost choked on his saliva.
She almost thought it was an old-fashioned matryoshka doll story, for example, the child was the reincarnation of the stone that had accompanied the prototype of the woman in blue for thousands of years, and the companionship in the past life created fate in this life. The boy's reaction also made him blush. The woman in Tsing Yi didn't embarrass him for too long. She said funnyly: "Those children in the clan have had too much contact with the outside world, and I don't know what they are thinking in their heads..."
The vines growing around the stone, the stubborn stone that has been with it for thousands of years...
The entanglement between the two is indeed a joyful scene.
The temple is very large, and children are placed in the side halls. Just as the high priest Yin said, he was young but extremely talented, and his understanding was also first-class. He learned a lot of magic techniques that could solve daily life at a young age. The most commendable thing is that he has a calm temperament. He cleans the temple regularly every day, wipes the idols, prays quietly, and learns the necessary courses for the high priest.
The incarnation of the woman in blue rarely appears at first.
Until in the middle of the night one day, the child's face was burning red. In a daze, he hugged a thin quilt that he liked very much and ran barefoot to the main hall to pray for meditation. The incarnation couldn't bear it anymore before appearing again: [I should be sick. Take medicine. 】
Rather than going to the temple to pray.
Because of their special race, this race rarely gets sick, and once they do get sick, it will be a serious illness. High fever, which is normal for mortal bodies, can be fatal to this race. The child was so burned that he huddled in the arms of the woman in green and murmured vaguely...
The fever subsided the next day, and the children excitedly ran to the temple to pray.
Shen Tang could actually hear his heart.
【I hope to see His Highness often. 】
Following that, Shen Tang heard the woman in green sigh again.
【…I told you, I don’t like taking care of children…】
No matter how calm and steady a child is on the surface, deep down they like to cling to adults, let alone in a special environment like a temple. The woman in green knew the purpose of High Priest Yin sending this child, and she knew even more clearly that this move was in vain and would be of no use to her upcoming disaster. However, she rarely refuses the prayers of this group of believers.
Every voice was answered.
The incarnation of the woman in green appears much more frequently.
As time goes by, as the basic courses of the high priest are almost completed, the child's figure gradually grows, taking on the outline of a teenager.
The boring life in the temple did not make him more dull, but instead became more lively, jumping up and down like a restless monkey all day long. The woman in Tsing Yi transformed into a sparring partner with him. If a problem was solved with one move, he could use dozens of tricks to avoid it.
In addition to being restless, his mouth is also becoming more and more broken.
Before closing your eyes, pray three times and call your highness.
After opening his eyes, he prayed three more times and continued to call His Highness.
The dignified and heavy high priest's preparatory robe was worn on his body, looking like a big fluttering moth with outstretched wings. The expression on the woman in green became more and more indescribable, as if she thought he was too noisy.
…It doesn’t seem like you are just too noisy. 】
The woman in green turned into a nap on a tree branch above the temple. The mottled light and shadow fell on her face. Before she could enjoy it for a moment, the big moth raised by her own hands...ah, the monkey came out to disturb her purity again. There was a hint of impatience on the tip of her eyebrows, and the young man showed a cautious, heartbroken and pitiful expression. The woman in green had no choice but to say harsh words, and the young man became visibly depressed.
The incarnation said: [After so many generations of your ancestors... I have never seen anyone more noisy than you. The temple is so big that you can't waste it... Even Yin back then was not like this... Day by day, she exerted endless strength... If Yin sees you like this, he will probably doubt the education level of the temple...]
The young man curled his lips and sat on a giant tree branch swinging his legs: [Isn’t it too quiet that His Highness will feel too worried...]
Incarnation’s brows jumped: 【So? 】
The young man smiled and bent his eyes, smiling without saying a word.
The woman in green: […]
She raised her hand to stroke her forehead. When she thought of the child in front of her listening to her oracle for hundreds or thousands of years in the future, a strange fatigue came to her heart. He looks for trouble for himself every now and then. If he doesn't give this naughty kid a good beating, it looks like he won't be able to do it.
It’s just that it’s useless to fight.
There were obviously only two people in the huge temple, but there was a lot of commotion. The frequency of the avatar of the woman in green had to be stable at once or even twice a day. Occasionally when she was not around, Shen Tang would see the young man cleaning the temple while mumbling about how to find trouble. Sometimes he would look at the eternal and boring scenery outside the temple with his eyes silently, and he would be lost in thought for a long time. Shen Tang didn't understand why this dream lasted so long.
I don’t even understand why the young man would insist on doing this.
At this time, the young man holding a broom made of a simple wooden stick in his arms looked over: [Of course it is because His Highness is going through a love catastrophe... A love tribulation must be established first before you can explore this relationship. . Your Highness is born with a stubbornness, no intention, no sex, no father, no mother, and no worldly relatives... This is not possible. 】
Shen Tang didn’t expect the young man to answer him.
She tried to speak.
【So, you want to establish a relationship with her first? 】
The young man said: [Yes. 】
When necessary, he can help His Highness break up his love.
Shen Tang’s mouth twitched: [...although but, this is not the reason for you to look for trouble like a naughty child...]
Really, it’s a bit noisy.
The key is that his personality is very stubborn and impulsive.
Completely two extremes from the cuteness of Yuxue as a child.
She believed that God would not want to establish a relationship with such a naughty child. The young man seemed to understand that his struggles over the years were somewhat futile. He was depressed and frowning, holding the wooden stick and worrying.
Shen Tang said: [Does it have to be a relationship between a man and a woman? 】
The young man seemed to have heard something terrifying. He almost jumped up in fright. His face turned red. He was angry, annoyed, ashamed and angry. He murmured intermittently: "It's simply ridiculous. How is it possible, how can such a rebellious and blasphemous thing happen?" Thoughts! 】
Shen Tang: […]
There are thousands of "emotions" in the world.
The young man just wants to establish a relationship that is close enough.
There is no stipulation on what kind of emotional calamity it must be. It's just two strangers establishing an intimate relationship, and the love between a man and a woman is the most ideal choice. The high priest Yin is also afraid of changes, so he prefers the relationship between men and women. However, teenagers have their own rhythm.
He said firmly: "I am determined to serve the gods!" 】
This determination lasted for more than six hundred years.
The time in the dream is like pressing the accelerator button. The light and shadow in the temple are rapidly distorted, the light and dark change, and flicker. The energetic and energetic giant moth/monkey also gradually grew longer and taller, taking on the appearance of a young man. The empty temple suddenly became filled with many people dressed in uniform styles, seemingly preparing for a grand ceremony. The young man received the token symbolizing the highest status of the clan from the hands of the high priest Yin, walked slowly across the green space paved to the statue of the main hall, and formally took office as the high priest in front of the statue.
Shen Tang looked on boredly.
The woman in blue also appeared.
She looked at the former high priest Yin, whose breath was full of twilight, and said without sadness or joy: [Yin, your life span is almost over...]
There is frost and snow on Yin's hair, and his face is no longer young.
She said: "This is destiny. 】
The woman in green was moved in her heart, and she couldn't help but think that many, many years ago, the high priest Shouyuan was basically twice or even several times the sound. As generations change, the candidates for the high priest are obviously more talented and more advanced, but their lifespan is shortened...
Not just the high priest, but also ordinary people.
The woman in green knew in her heart where the source was, but she couldn't stop it, and she couldn't even give the believers an explanation. It’s not that they are ungrateful in their faith, or that they don’t practice enough, it’s just that their destiny is no longer there. Destiny does not always belong to anyone.
Shen Tang looked at the ceremony curiously and noticed that the auras of the people participating in the ceremony were a little strange. They were far less pure than the high priest Yin and the young man, and there was also a hint of resentment. Occasionally, someone looked up and their eyes met, making Shen Tang inexplicably frightened.
The woman in green and the others didn't seem to notice.
The young man took over as the high priest, and he also moved out of the temple. He lived in the clan on weekdays and only appeared during prayers and clan activities. Every time she appeared, her expression became more solemn, the content of her prayers became longer, and the frequency of the Tsing Yi woman's responses was visibly reduced. Intuition told Shen Tang that something was about to happen, but the dream was fast-forwarded when it should have been detailed.
She saw the giant trees within the temple grounds blooming overnight.
Many years have passed since the handover ceremony. The woman in green and the young man stood one behind the other under the tree, and the content of their conversation became blurry. Shen Tang only saw the distance between them getting closer, the young man said something firmly, and the woman in green thought for a long time and nodded.
The screen changes again.
The temple was so clean that only the young man was left.
I don’t know if it’s her imagination—
She always felt that the giant tree in the temple gradually lost its vitality after it bloomed. First, the figure of the woman in green never appeared again, and then the frequency of ordinary people entering and leaving the temple increased. In the past, the temple was secluded and there were no special times. Basically only the high priest would come, and ordinary people would only appear during celebrations. Every time these people leave after praying, their expressions are visibly lost...
Shen Tang remembered that everyone in this clan was young in appearance, and only when they were nearing the end of their lifespan would they show signs of age, and even if there were traces, there wouldn't be many. But after the Tsing Yi woman disappeared, there were more and more elderly people in this clan, and there were even many patients suffering from diseases...
Until someone dies of illness in front of the idol in the temple.
Shen Tang saw this family’s funeral for the first time.
She quietly watched the young man preside over the cremation funeral, and a familiar sigh seemed to appear in her ears again. Her eyes suddenly darkened, and something floated past. Shen Tang subconsciously raised his hand to catch it, and it turned out to be a yellow leaf. She suddenly raised her head, and her eyes were all yellow.
She murmured: "Is the tree going to die?" 】
【It is my faith that has been shaken...】
Shen Tang turned to look at the young man standing behind him at some point. Except for the shiny cinnabar mark between his eyebrows, the young man's appearance was exactly the same as Jimo Qiu's. No, there were still some differences. There is always a strong sadness between the young man's brows that cannot be resolved.
【Belief? 】
The young man said: [When His Highness stopped responding to the believers, the believers who were not firm in mind became resentful... The shortening of lifespan and the spread of diseases are normal conditions of life and death, but for a being who has enjoyed preference for thousands of years, it is unacceptable. . 】
Helping on favor and being arrogant, one’s desires are hard to satisfy.
You should let go from the beginning, and the creature will find a way out.
【Her Highness is not asexual and heartless, she is overflowing with passion. 】
【What should this do? 】
The young man said: "What should we do?" Broke it. 】
The dream has also come to an end.
Countless fires were ignited, and only the ruins of the temple were left in the blink of an eye.
Fires shot into the sky, and the air was filled with shouts of killing.
The young man waved his wooden stick, raised his eyes to look at the familiar figure among the enemies, and said: [In front of the temple, kill the disturber! 】
|ω`)
Tangmei survived the tribulation three times.
The first time is the fall of the big trumpet, which is the tribulation in this chapter. It is actually the tribulation of love. At first, everyone thought that Fujiki was heartless, so the high priest tried hard to establish a relationship with each other and become the most indispensable servant of the god. However, he later found that this was not possible, so he changed his strategy. The mentality of Da Da and this clan is what Jimo Qiu mentioned before, pampering, too cute to keep, not to mention the kindness of both parties. Tangmei was an i person during this period, raising "pets" to relieve her boredom.
As a result, he was over-fed and indulged too much.
The second time was when the world was destroyed thousands of years ago, and Tangmei’s Love Tribulation ended before it even started...
The third time, I learned the hard way, someone helped me go through the back door to start the murder.
She is familiar with the past and will definitely not fail again.
