The dormitory has been silent for a while, but she stood there, as motionless as a stone statue. Anael didn't know why he lost control so much, until he completely disappeared from sight, and something seemed to be dug deep in his heart.
It was an empty walk, and it was then that she discovered that maybe she had other feelings for him...
What he said when we parted that day suddenly rang in my mind.
——I don’t want to leave, but I want to know where I am in His Highness’ heart?
——Why don’t you want me to leave? Do you like me? Or do you think you will never find a dog as loyal to you as me?
Anael covered his mouth and knelt down weakly on the ground, crying with tears all over his face.
On the rainy night when they first met, when she said that request, she always regarded him as a benefactor and never had any intention of taking advantage of him. After more than a month of getting along, he took good care of her.
She wholeheartedly worked for her to gain the trust of the elders and get rid of Yin Sa's control. She saw all this one by one. But! Deception is deception. No matter how good Xiang Jingyi was to her, they could no longer look back.
went.
——You don’t want me to leave, why exactly? Do you like me?
When Xiang Jingyi planted the life-and-death poison for her, Jiao Yinchang, Ana'er had already given all his sincerity, and she had no choice but to be with him, but at that time, she didn't know it.
"I...I like him? I actually like him!" When he realized it, Ana'er was like a madman, wiping the tears on his face and crying and laughing. Although he readily accepted this reason, he was actually not happy at all.
I couldn't get up. Thinking of Mo Shuruo and Xiang Jingyi coming here for her, I felt only sourness in my heart.
In the blur, he fainted again for some reason. Anael felt like a lonely ghost, floating in the darkness. Although he knew it was a dream, it felt very real.
There was still nothingness in the dream. In the dark world, a candle emitted the only light. She saw herself lying there quietly, with her hands folded on her chest, her face bloodless, as if she was asleep, and her expression showed that she had never seen anything before.
There was peace.
There are countless stories about ghosts and ghosts in this world, and whether you believe them or not, there are none. Anal herself would never believe these things. Even though she was in a group that worshiped Nuwa, she never thought that there was such a thing as a god in the world.
. But when I opened it, I saw that I was resurrected from the dead, my beliefs were reversed, and I couldn't help but feel weird.
Thinking of what Yin Sa told her, Anal suddenly wanted to find out the reason for his resurrection.
In the empty bedroom, countless curtains swayed gently with the breeze. Anael lay quietly on the bed, and the hand on his chest moved slightly.
The sound of someone talking came to his ears, "How is the saint's health?" Anael recognized this milky and milky tune as Yin Sa.
"The body is fine, but the mental consciousness seems to be weakening." The voice was dry and harsh, and he was probably an old witch doctor.
"It seems that it is indeed the effect of that thing..." Yin Sa murmured, and suddenly asked: "How long can she last once she loses the treatment?"
The witch doctor shook his head, "I really don't know the effect of jade, so I can't judge it."
"The heavenly sacrifice is coming soon..." At this point, Yin Sa paused for a while, "In this case, you take her to the Holy Mountain tonight."
The witch doctor was puzzled: "What does Nuzhu mean?"
"The spirit soul gathered up and dispersed the consciousness. If her body was not necrotic and could no longer be used, how could that girl be used to replace her?" Yin Sa kept doing it without stopping, and had murderous intentions. "Originally, I wanted to keep her until after the heavenly sacrifice.
, since I can’t hold on much longer, I might as well send her back. Anyway, with that girl here, I can turn her into a saint, and maybe she will be easier to control than Anael.”
The witch doctor responded: "Old minister, I understand."
There was no sound outside and seemed to have left. Anael opened his thick eyelids and got up with difficulty.
"Chi Tianlin..." After shouting for a long time, there was no response. Ana'er got angry and said, "Asshole, where did you go again!" He was flying around his ears like flies every day when he wasn't needed, but now he was needed, not even a single figure.
nothing.
I got up and walked to the desk. After resting for a while, I picked up the brush and wrote a line of words.
The moon has risen outside the window, and I don't know when the witch doctor will come back. Anael rolled up the note, grabbed a white homing pigeon from the cage hanging by the window, and hurriedly released it.
Yin Sa has made up her mind, there is only one person who can save her.
Ana'er returned to the bed and lay down again. Less than a moment after burning the incense, someone quietly entered the bedroom. He vaguely heard the old witch doctor whispering in a low voice, "Hurry up, don't be discovered."
Immediately afterwards, two men came over, one hugged her shoulders, the other lifted her legs, and picked her up from the bed. The four of them quietly disappeared through the dormitory door.
Although Anal didn't quite understand what Yin Sa said, he still understood that she wanted to kill him. Escape was definitely impossible. She was now so exhausted and weak that it was difficult to walk. Fortunately, she was resourceful and found someone.
Help.
He kept his eyes closed and pretended to sleep all the way out of the Emperor Wa's Palace, letting them put him into a wooden box.
Late at night came, and no one was visible on the road.
Anael was nestled in the wooden box, sweating profusely. If the carrier pigeon was late or not delivered, he might be doomed tonight.
The ancient city of Para was extremely quiet late at night. Under the bright moonlight, a floating white shadow was reflected. He stepped on the rubble from the high wall of the Emperor Wa Palace, ran all the way, and jumped to the spire of the bell tower, quietly
Look at the few people carrying the boxes coming out of the Emperor Wa Palace.
The person Ana'er sent the letter to was none other than Yan Jue.
When he saw the words "Come quickly" on the paper, he flew out of the inn without thinking. He raised his right hand, and the note was still in his hand. Only then did he have time to read the rest of the words. - Come quickly, follow calmly,
Don't move!
Although he didn't know what happened, these people were sneaking around and probably weren't doing anything good. Yan Jue lowered his hands and looked again. They had already gotten into the carriage and were driving towards the city gate.
The ancient city of Para is located in a valley, as if surrounded by a natural barrier. The high ground behind it is steep and inaccessible. After leaving the city, they walked around the city for half an hour and abandoned the carriage at the bottom of the mountain. The old witch doctor led the way.
, two guards carried the box up the mountain one after the other.
Qin Yiyi said that this is a sacred mountain that is called a god by people in northern Xinjiang. The mountains are densely forested and wild beasts are rampant. If they hadn't sprinkled irritating powder to dispel poisons while walking, they might have entered the mountain before they reached the mountainside.
into the belly of the beast.
In the dark night, the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of the wind blew. Occasionally, unknown birds would be heard, which made people feel panicked. The three of them each held a torch and walked forward, and the tung oil was mixed with a strange-smelling detoxifying agent.
.
Yan Jue condensed his energy to protect himself and stood quietly on the tree trunk, with a clear view of the situation below. Suddenly he lost his mind and was attracted by the halo that lit up deep in the woods. He was just confused for a moment, and the three people there gradually moved away.
, so he didn’t think deeply about it and quickly jumped forward.
The moon is high in the sky, dark clouds are hazy.
The three of them walked in the woods for another half an hour, following a shallow stream. Behind the deep bamboo forest, they arrived at a swamp. The three of them got on a raft and passed through several rugged rocks.
, after landing, the three of them found a dilapidated cave and immediately got into it.
Yanjue followed closely behind, and when his toes touched the water, a layer of ice quickly formed on the surface. In the blink of an eye, the others had already jumped into the cave without even getting their clothes wet.
The soles of my feet landed on the ground, and the space in the cave was actually larger than I imagined. The moisture was quite heavy at the beginning, and there was dripping on the stone walls, and there was no dry place. As you went to the back, the aisles became wider, and you could almost walk in parallel at least
Five people.
Gradually going deeper into the cave, although you can't see it, you can still feel that the terrain is going up. Going back to the back is completely man-made stone steps.
The three people in front of him had disappeared, but there was no bypass in this passage. He just had to keep going forward, and there was no need to rush after him. He lit a fire, and then he discovered that there were colorful totems painted on both sides of the stone wall, not just in the passage.
There are paintings on both sides and even the top. This seems to be a huge project, which cannot be completed in one or two years.
Yan Jue was anxious about where the three of them were going and had no intention of looking at the paintings. After walking up for half a cup of tea, the terrain gradually leveled off again.
He vaguely heard the sound of footsteps, so he quickly put out the fire and went away in search of the sound. After reaching the gentle terrain, the tomb suddenly went down again. He stood at the top, in the dark and huge space, and saw the three people stepping on it from a distance.
Go down the stone steps.
Yanjue took a look at the surroundings, jumped to a concave stone crevice on the cliff and squatted down.
This is an excellent location. You can clearly see what they are doing without being too close to be easily discovered. After careful inspection, you find that this stone chamber is a tomb, but the light is too dark to see the details. Only the middle of the tomb is quiet.
There is a sarcophagus on display.
After walking through the last step, the fire stopped, the guard put the box down, and the old witch doctor said: "Open it."
In the dim stone room, in the dim light, Yan Jue discovered that there was a person lying in the box.
The guard took the person out of the box and laid it flat on the stone floor. The old witch doctor then ordered the two of them to push the sarcophagus away. Yan Jue put his head around to see more clearly, but he was too far away and couldn't see anything.
I saw the old witch doctor walking around the sarcophagus again, mumbling words as he walked. He returned to the head of the coffin and stood still. He sprinkled a drop of blood from his hand into it, and he didn't know what magical thing was opened. Suddenly,
A burst of blazing white light emanated from the coffin, which was brighter than a torch. The three of them raised their hands to cover their eyes, and were blinded by the light. In that moment, they suddenly closed their eyes and fell down one after another.
Yan Jue's move was so quick that none of the three of them noticed it. He walked up to Ana'er, squatted down and half-supported her. "How are you?"
Hearing the sound, she opened her eyes and said, "I can't die."
"Where is this?" Under the light of the halo that has not subsided, the surrounding situation can be roughly seen. This place is like a funnel, starting with the place where the sarcophagus is placed, and there are circles and circles of stone steps going up.
The higher the terrain goes out, the wider the curvature of the stone steps circle becomes. It's like coming to a place of nothingness, and you can't reach the top when you look up.
Anal sat on the ground, leaning half of his body on his arms, shaking his head weakly, "I don't know either, but I guess this should be the tomb of the saint."
Currently, only two people know the location of the saint's tomb. Jiao Yinchang has been imprisoned, so there will only be another person.
"Yin Sa?!" Yan Jue said, "Why did she kidnap you here? What's going on?"
She couldn't figure out what was going on here, how to explain it to him, "Help me up."
The two stood up, and the halo was slowly disappearing. Anal frowned and looked at the half-open sarcophagus. Remembering the girl Yin Sa mentioned, she guessed that the person lying inside should be Mo Shuruo.
He secretly glanced at Yan Jue next to him and didn't know whether he should say anything. He just said: "Maybe you will understand after taking a look..."
She stepped forward alone, feeling uneasy. After taking two steps closer, she felt some invisible force sucking her energy. Her body gradually became uncontrollable, and her vision became increasingly blurry.
"Anal!" Sensing something was wrong, Yan Jue grabbed her arm and quickly dragged her away from the sarcophagus, shaking her with her eyes closed, "Anal, are you okay? Cheer up!"
Her body was already weak enough, but when she was affected by this strange suction force, she became a little weak, and it became difficult to even breathe. "Take me further away from the sarcophagus, hurry up..."
Yan Jue could feel the cold sweat on his back as he held her hand. He bent down and hugged her legs, turned around and walked ten steps quickly, retreated to the last stone step, put her down and sat down. He was half
He squatted aside and looked at her, "Is there anything weird about this sarcophagus?"
Ana'er shook her head, but there was an instinct that scared her. As she stood up with difficulty, "I can't stay here anymore, I want to go out..."
Yan Jue stood up and grabbed her arm, "Don't you want to find out? Even if you can escape, Yin Sa won't let you go!"
She looked back at him, her eyes red, "What do you want to know!" After a rough guess, she had something in her mind and would rather not believe it.
Yin Sa asked her to go back, but where did she mean to go back? Ana'er himself was a person who died once, so when he went back, he just wanted to die. If he wanted to die alone, just kill him. Why did he do it in the middle of the night?
She sent it to the saint's tomb? It's not that she couldn't figure it out. Based on Yin Sa's previous words and the feeling of weakness just now, she had already guessed it.
Inside the sarcophagus, it was not Mo Shuruo at all...
