The tone of the voice was undoubtedly very low, not like a compromise, but like it should be.
It seemed that Jiutian was sure that he would not be rude to people who were polite to him. Jiutian, who was still a little unhappy at first, was indeed not so unhappy after hearing these words.
No, that's not right. Although this change of mood seems reasonable, I shouldn't get over it so quickly.
Jiutian, who had always had a very accurate grasp of his own situation, suddenly realized that it was that voice that had been soothing his emotions.
Just like Jiutian's secret power attribute can purify negative states, certain attributes also have the effect of calming the mind and soothing the heart. It seems that this voice has this ability.
The voice that can be directly transmitted into people's minds is naturally the result of spiritual power, which makes Jiutian more and more curious about the true identity of the "Holy Lord".
So Jiutian didn't bother to walk up step by step, and simply flew directly towards the temple at the top.
Flavac opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.
Forget it, the Holy Lord has spoken, let him fly, run, or stand on his head.
"clatter."
Jiutian's toes touched the platform in front of the temple. He looked up at the building. When he got closer, he saw that this place was quite big.
After arriving at the door, Jiutian did not step into the temple door immediately. Instead, he began to pace around. He looked at the bricks thoughtfully, then walked forward and pressed his hands on the wall.
On the surface.
Using mental power to detect is somewhat different from physical contact. Mental power detection is more like an advanced visual experience. You can observe and even "touch" the world in a more detailed manner, but you do not actually use your body to detect it.
Exposure to neurofeedback like that.
The skin is the largest organ of the human body. The various signals we receive from the surface of the skin will also affect our physiological and psychological activities. Therefore, sometimes touching something through the body will give people more information.
Jiutian's fingertips gently touched the yellow bricks that had experienced countless winds and rains. It was impossible to tell whether the marks on them were cracks or the original words engraved on them.
"Sure enough, the bricks and stones here are mixed with forbidden materials." Jiutian murmured to himself, "But how could it be? This temple is hundreds of years old if not thousands of years old. There was such a thing on the earth at that time
Already?"
"Besides..."
Putting aside how this material was obtained, it would be fine if it was done accidentally during construction, but what if it was intentional? Who are they planning to guard against?
A spiritual evolver from hundreds of years ago?
Jiutian squinted his eyes. It was really suspicious that a temple with a history of at least several hundred years would have divine prohibitions embedded in its masonry.
The so-called "divine prohibition" is the abbreviation of "mental power prohibition" in layman's terms. Most of these materials are resistant to spiritual power and can resist its penetration and control.
But generally speaking, there are very few natural divine forbidden materials that can be produced in nature, and they are usually synthesized from different raw materials. And there is no divine forbidden material in the natural mineral deposits contained in the earth, so how does this thing come about?
Will it appear in ancient temples?
Jiutian originally thought that he already knew enough about the secrets on the earth, but now he realized that it was probably just the tip of the iceberg.
With the passing of Dongfang Yanie and Old Man Kusong, more and more mysteries are left for them, the evolutionaries who have just emerged in the new era.
However, there was no point in worrying about things that could not be answered by thinking. Jiutian turned around and walked directly into the temple.
The space inside is narrower than expected. Although there is no furniture or anything like that, various stone tablets and books are scattered everywhere, and the most conspicuous one is the high hall in the hall.
If there is a temple, there will naturally be things that are enshrined. At this time, the things being enshrined are sitting cross-legged on the high hall.
Jiutian never thought that the so-called Holy Lord would be in such a state at this moment.
There are also four stone pillars in the temple, but compared with the rough workmanship on the outside, the four inside are obviously carefully carved by the hands of masters.
The surfaces of the four pillars are carved into a diamond shape, wide in the middle and narrow above and below. Scenes of stories recorded in the Old Testament are depicted on them.
Jehovah's creation of the world, the Garden of Eden, Eve eating the forbidden fruit, Noah's Ark, the salt of the world, Judah's kiss...
Even if Jiutian is not familiar with the Bible, he can still recognize the meaning of certain pictures.
Even if you don't consider the history of these pillars, even if you consider the artistic value alone, this thing is a top-notch collection.
The stone tablets and books scattered around are, not surprisingly, some extremely precious antiques.
Of course, these things alone would not surprise Jiutian too much. What really made him curious was the Holy Lord himself.
When your eyes move from the exquisite stone pillars to the bottom, you can clearly see the most conspicuous thing in the entire temple -
She leaned against the stone wall in the center of the high hall, her skin as warm as jade. White vines climbed out from around the stone wall, then wrapped tightly around her face, covering the upper half of her face.
It can be seen from the lower half of her face that the Holy Lord's facial features and face are very delicate. Her white and smooth hair is three to four meters long, intertwined with white vines.
The woman was sitting in a very comfortable manner, with one foot hanging below the stone bed and the other foot sitting cross-legged on the stone bed.
And at the part where her slender hands and feet were in contact with the stone bed, roots sprouted from her skin, and then began to grow and spread around like a real plant.
Her entire body was like a sprouting human-shaped seed that began to extend its roots toward the world.
There is light gauze flying around the stone bed. The environment in this place is dark, but the woman's surroundings appear extremely bright. The light shines through the white gauze into Jiutian's eyes, making her look like a beautiful sculpture.
.
"This is our first meeting. Hello, Mr. Jiutian."
Even though her eyes were covered by vines, the woman seemed to be able to accurately judge whether Izukuten was in front of her.
Her voice was sweet and moving, just like the voice that appeared in her head.
"Hello, Your Majesty the Holy Lord?" Jiutian also responded.
"You don't have to call me that. My real name is Shanarot. If this name is difficult for Chinese people to pronounce, you can just call me Shana." The corner of Shana's mouth raised slightly, "I should have stood up and saluted you...
…But please forgive me, it’s hard for me to even move my fingers now.”
"It's okay, Shana... Madam, but can I ask what's going on with your current situation?" Jiutian looked at her and asked the biggest doubt in his heart at the moment.
"It's a kind of trade-off." Shana paused, and there was no fluctuation in her voice. "This universe is balanced and will not favor anyone. When you want to get something, you have to pay for it. That's all."
After hearing such a vague answer, Jiutian began to think.
After a while, he raised his head and asked a little uncertainly:
"Precognition?"
Shana's beautiful lips seemed to open slightly, and then she smiled softly.
"Sometimes I feel that you are the same type of evolver as me, Mr. Jiutian."
"Smartness is one of my many advantages." Jiutian said with a thick face.
"That's right, I obtained forbidden knowledge from the stars. As punishment, I became what I am now." Shana explained her experience in a relaxed manner, "You...should also have some experience with this kind of thing."
?”
Jiutian blinked, not sure if it was an illusion, but the aura exuding from his body suddenly became a little dangerous.
"You might as well speak more clearly."
"I have no ill intentions, Mr. Jiutian." Shana said calmly, "In fact, I should be one of the few people on this planet who can help you realize your wish."
"for example?"
"For example, our common enemy Dongfang Yi, for example, the soul you want to save, for example... your own safety." Shana's head seemed to be tilted to one side, and this little girl-like behavior on her was actually a bit cute.
"How did you know about me?" Jiutian asked next.
"It is indeed difficult to spy on a strong person, let alone a special evolver like you, but it is difficult and not 'impossible'. Sometimes you just need to pay a certain price." Shana said.
"Oh? Then what did you pay for using your precognition ability on me?" Jiutian was a little curious.
Shana was silent for a rare moment, and then solemnly said:
"Almost the lives of all my followers."
"What?" Jiutian was shocked,
Originally, he thought the other party would say something like "make my situation worse", "make me lose my life", etc., but what she said was "the lives of almost all believers"?
"You... transferred the foreseeable price beyond your ability to your followers?" Jiu Tian said incredulously.
"It's not a transfer, it's a connection with each other and a shared burden." Shana said, "It's just that their ability to bear it was weaker, so they died before me."
"how many people?"
Upon hearing this question, Shana sighed softly.
"Did you notice the woods you came from?"
Jiutian clenched his fists slightly.
"Why? It costs so much to launch precognition on me?"
"Because this is my destiny, their destiny, and your destiny." Shana said.
"It's even more... a 'terrible' fate."
Outside the temple, the originally sunny sky suddenly became dark, and thick dark clouds were still gathering here, making it look like it was going to rain.
The dry wind blew in from the door of the temple, blowing some of the white gauze hanging in front of the woman, and the vines entangled behind her were like a huge screen.
The whole temple fell silent at this moment.
Shana's words flashed through Jiutian's mind like a bolt from the blue.
