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. Her eyes fell on the child next to the high priest, and she had an inexplicable feeling that she was suffering from the same problem - he was probably as bored as herself.
Slightly distracted, Shen Tang found someone looking at him.
She followed her intuition and looked back, meeting 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 vitality 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, that's it." The only heir to my mantle!]
The child nodded seriously: [Hmm.]
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 didn't 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 little body looked a little pitiful. Shen Tang held his chin and waited for the end of this weird dream. 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 Tsing Yi.
Shen Tang's eyes were attracted to the woman in Tsing Yi, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
This woman is really not a stranger to Shen Tang.
The child raised his head, his heart full of pure admiration and joy. The woman in green was as cold as ice, but facing the child 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, adding a bit of warmth: [Life in the temple is not easy. .]
The child 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 reproachful: [How dare you come here after knowing how hard it is? Yin just said that you are only six years old... When Yin was sent here, she was already twelve, and she was 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 the gods. He cannot lie in front of God. To say that he is not afraid would be a lie. He leaves the familiar environment and relatives and lives alone in the temple. For decades or even hundreds of years, except for His Highness's incarnation, no one could talk to him...
There are also tedious and boring daily practices every day...
Just thinking about it makes people feel discouraged.
However, he is different.
The child took courage and held the slender fingers of the woman in green with his fat white hands, and said word by word: "I 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: [My sister in the clan said it, and I heard it. There is a story in the clan that before His Highness was enlightened and became a saint, he was a vine growing around a stone by the stream. That stubborn stone has been with you for thousands of years... …I also hope that I can be like a stubborn stone and serve you for a long time.】
The woman in green pricked the child's forehead with her finger.
The light shimmered slightly, condensing into a round and plump circle between his eyebrows, making the child look more and 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 stone recorded in your tribe, ahem, that is the afterbirth that gave birth to me...]
Shen Tang almost choked on his saliva as he listened.
She almost thought it was an old-fashioned matryoshka doll story, for example, the child was the reincarnation of a stone that had accompanied the woman in Tsing Yi for thousands of years, and the companionship in the past life created fate in this life. The child's reaction was also a big shame, and the woman in Tsing Yi did not let it go He was embarrassed for too long, and said funnyly: [The 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 you for thousands of years...
The entanglement between the two is indeed a scene that I love to hear and see.
The temple area is very large, and the children are placed in the side hall. Just as the high priest said, the children are not very young but have extraordinary talents, and their understanding is also first-rate. They have learned a lot at a young age and can solve daily life problems. Magic. The most valuable thing is that he has a calm temperament. He cleans the temple regularly every day, wipes the statues, prays quietly, and learns the courses required by the high priest.
The incarnation of the woman in green 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 and then appeared again: "I must be sick." Take medicine.]
Instead of going to the temple to pray.
Because of their special race, this race rarely gets sick, and once they do fall ill, it is a serious illness. High fever, which is normal for mortals, may be fatal to this race. The child was confused by the fever, huddled in the arms of the woman in blue 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 thoughts.
【I hope to see His Highness often.】
Immediately afterwards, Shen Tang heard the woman in green sigh again.
[...I told you that I don’t like taking care of children...]
No matter how calm and steady the child is on the surface, he always likes to cling to adults, let alone in a special environment like the temple. The woman in Tsing Yi knew the purpose of the high priest Yin sending this child here, and she knew even more clearly that this move was in vain and would be detrimental to her upcoming disaster. It's useless. 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 green transformed into a sparring partner with him, and he could solve things with one move, and he could go around in many ways. Dozens of tricks.
In addition to being restless, his mouth became even 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.
Wearing the dignified and heavy high priest reserve robe, she looked like a big fluttering moth with wings spread out. The expression on the woman in green became more and more indescribable, as if she disliked him for being too noisy.
【...It doesn't seem to be the case, you are just too noisy.】
The woman in green clothes took a nap on the tree branch above the temple. Mottled light and shadow fell on her face. Before she could enjoy it for a moment, a big moth raised by her own hands...ah, the monkey came out to disturb her purity again. There was a slight frown on her eyebrows.
After a while, the young man showed a cautious and pitiful expression of heartbreak. The woman in Tsing Yi had no choice but to say harsh words, and the young man became visibly depressed.
The incarnation said: [You have so many generations of ancestors... I have never seen anyone more noisy than you. The temple is so big that you can't waste it... Even the sound of the year was not like this... day by day, she can't finish it.
You are so powerful... 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 the giant tree branch, swinging his legs: [Isn’t it too quiet that His Highness will feel too worried...]
The incarnation’s brows jumped: [So?]
The young man smiled and bent his eyes, smiling without saying a word.
Woman in Tsing Yi: [……]
She raised her hand and stroked her forehead. When she thought about hundreds of thousands of years in the future, it would be the child in front of her who would listen to her oracle, and a strange tiredness came to her heart. She would look for trouble for herself every now and then, and she wouldn't give a beating to such a naughty child.
, it doesn’t look like it’s working.
It's just that it's useless to fight.
The young man not only has a tough mouth, but also has a tough bone.
There were obviously only two people in the huge temple, but there was a lot of noise. 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 saw the boy cleaning the temple while muttering.
He murmured about how to look for trouble, and sometimes he would look at the eternal and boring scenery outside the temple with silent eyes, 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 tribulation... A love tribulation must first be established before one can break through it.
Qing. Your Highness is born with a stubbornness, no heart, no sex, no father, no mother, and no worldly relatives... This is not possible.】
Shen Tang didn't expect that the young man could 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.
The corner of 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 too noisy.
The key is that his personality is very stubborn and impulsive.
Completely opposite to the cute Yuxue she was 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, and he pursed his lips in despair, hugging 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 treason and blasphemy be possible?" Thoughts!]
Shen Tang:【……】
There are thousands of "loves" in the world.
The young man just wants to establish a relationship that is close enough.
There is no stipulation on what kind of love disaster it must be. It is just two strangers establishing an intimate relationship, and the relationship between a man and a woman is the most ideal choice. The high priest Yin is also afraid of variables, so he prefers the relationship between a man and a woman. However, the young man has his own rhythm.
He said firmly: [I am determined to serve God!]
This determination lasted for more than six hundred years.
The time in the dream is like pressing an accelerator button. The light and shadow in the temple are rapidly distorted, light and dark change, and flicker. The energetic and passionate big moth/monkey also gradually grows longer, and the body becomes more and more tall, taking on the appearance of a young man. The empty temple Suddenly there were many people dressed in the same style, seeming to be preparing for a grand ceremony. The young man took 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 temple, and formally took office in front of the statue. High Priest.
Shen Tang looked on boredly.
The woman in green 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...]
Yin's hair was covered with frost and snow, and her face was no longer young.
She said: "This is destiny."
The woman in Tsing Yi's heart moved, and she couldn't help but think that many, many years ago, the high priest Shou Yuan was basically twice as long as Yin, or even several times. As the generations changed, it became clear that the talents of the high priests were more powerful and their cultivation was more advanced, but Shou Yuan was not. short……
Not just the high priest, but also ordinary people.
The woman in green understands in her heart where the root is, but she can't stop it, or even give an explanation to the believers. It's not that they are ungrateful in their faith, or that they don't practice enough, it's just that destiny is no longer in their possession. Destiny doesn't always belong to anyone.
Shen Tang looked curiously at the ceremony, and keenly 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, which made Shen Tang inexplicably frightened.
The women in green didn't seem to notice.
The young man took over as the high priest. He also moved out of the temple and lived in the clan on weekdays. He only appeared during blessings and clan activities. Every time he appeared, his expression became more solemn and the content of the blessing became longer. The woman in green The response frequency was visibly reduced. His intuition told Shen Tang that something was about to happen, but the dream was fast-forwarded when it should be detailed.
She saw the giant trees within the temple grounds blooming overnight.
Many years have passed since the handover ceremony. The woman in Tsing Yi and the young man stood one after another under the tree, and the content of their conversation became blurry. Shen Tang only saw that the distance between them was getting closer. The young man said firmly, and the woman in Tsing Yi thought for a long time. nod.
The screen changes again.
The temple was so clean that only the young man was left.
I wonder if it was her misunderstanding——
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. Ordinary people only appear at celebrations. Every time these people leave after praying, their expressions are visibly lost...
Shen Tang remembered that everyone in this clan had a young appearance, and only when they were nearing the end of their lifespan would they show traces of old age, and even if there were not many traces. But after the woman in green clothes disappeared, there were more and more elderly people in this clan, and there were even some who were suffering from many diseases. patients...
Until someone died of illness in front of the statue in the temple.
Shen Tang saw this family's funeral for the first time.
She quietly watched the young man presiding over the cremation funeral, and a familiar sigh seemed to appear in her ears again. Her eyes suddenly dimmed, and something floated by. Shen Tang subconsciously raised her hand to catch it, and it turned out to be a yellow leaf. She looked up suddenly, and caught it. All are withered and yellow.
She murmured: [Is the tree going to die?]
[My faith 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 that of Jimo Qiu. No, there were still differences. There was always a trace of change between the young man's eyebrows. A deep and unyielding melancholy.
【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 existences that have enjoyed preference for thousands of years, it is impossible to accept.】
Being arrogant due to being favored, one's desires are hard to satisfy.
You should let go from the beginning, and the creatures will find a way out.
[Your Highness is not asexual and heartless, she is overflowing with passion.]
【How should this be?】
The young man said: "What should we do? Cut it off."
The dream has also come to an end.
Countless fires ignited, leaving only the ruins of the temple in the blink of an eye.
Flames shot into the sky, and the air was filled with screams of death.
The young man waved his wooden staff, raised his eyes to look at the familiar figure among the enemies, and said: [In front of the temple, kill any disturber!]
|ω`)
Tangmei survived three tribulations.
The first time was the death of the tuba, which is the tribulation in this chapter. It was actually a tribulation of love. At first, everyone thought that Fujiki was heartless and heartless, so the high priest tried hard to establish a relationship with each other and become the most indispensable servant of the god. But later he discovered No, so I changed my strategy. The mentality of Da Hao and this clan is what Jimo Qiu mentioned before, pampering, too cute to raise, not to mention the kindness of both parties. Tang Mei is an I person at this period, raising " Pets" relieve 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 disaster ended before it even started...
The third time, after learning from the painful experience, someone helped me to go through the back door and start the murder.
If she is familiar with killing him, she will definitely not fail again.
