Chapter 256: The Revolt Begins
"Alright, let's talk about what we just didn't finish. Hu Luo said and pulled a chair next to him and sat down, looking at him who was not polite at all, Jiang Liyi could only roll her eyes to show helplessness.
"What do you guess my ancestor saw?" Huluodi didn't forget to sell Guan Zi at this time, Jiang Liyi stared at him directly, and then showed a standard smile, Huluodi saw this smile, and his heart became sneered for some reason. I had to put away my playful thoughts and talk about it seriously.
"At that time, my ancestors walked on the path around the altar, yes, there was still a road around the altar, but then for some reason, all the paths around the altar were banned. ”
"I'm afraid his secret will be revealed. Jiang Liyi said suddenly.
"Well, but his secret has been discovered for a long time, and the person in my family was so frightened that he almost lost his soul after seeing what the high priest was doing, even if I mention it now, I have some heart palpitations. Because he was molting!"
"Molting!" Jiang Liyi also repeated this seemingly evil word once, she finally understood where Huluodi's heart palpitations came from at this moment, molting this kind of inhuman thing is not done by people at all, even if a person at the peak of Tongyou has experienced this kind of thing, he may not survive, let alone an old man like the high priest!
At this moment, the image of the high priest became even more mysterious in their eyes. "Why did the previous generation of high priests molt, and what does this mean to him?" Jiang Liyi fell into deep thought, but did not come up with an answer, so she became irritable, it is true that these days have begun to refresh her three views. She discovers that the nomads she grew up living in have become secretive, and there is a fog everywhere, and all of this fog eventually leads to one place, which is the altar.
"Don't you want to know what day it was?" Huluodi couldn't help but joke when he saw Jiang Liyi's irritable appearance.
"Hurry up and say it on any day, is it going to ferment if you hold it in your heart?" Jiang Liyi was angry, where could she stand his jokes.
Huluodi also touched his nose embarrassedly when he heard Jiang Liyi's words, he was really miserable, he was said by a woman like this, but they have been good playmates since childhood, so he didn't care very much.
"According to my elder, that day is the day of the change of the high priesthood!" said Huluodi, slowly.
Jiang Liyi suddenly seemed to understand something, she seemed to understand a lot of things, but there were still some mysteries that had not been solved, but she believed that as long as she continued, sooner or later all the fog would be blown away in front of her, and under the false prosperity, those hidden sins and original sins would eventually appear by themselves.
"By the way, why don't the people of your family know so much about it, and they don't suspect that there is something wrong with the high priest? Jiang Liyi also changed her mood at the moment, and she had already begun to ridicule Huluodi.
Hearing this, Huluodi also smiled bitterly, "At that time, my elder was already frightened, and more importantly, the next day he saw that the high priest had not changed much from before, and it seemed that he was still the same as before, so he relaxed his vigilance. But on the third day, I suddenly found a spy from Shikoku, and that spy was also very good at illusion, so my elders thought that what they saw that day was due to the illusion of that spy, so they didn't suspect it. ”
"Then how could he tell you this before he died?" Jiang Liyi asked suddenly, this made Huluodi completely stumped, and he didn't think about why the elder would suddenly call him to him, and then take his hand and say such a thing to himself. After pondering for a moment, he spoke: "I don't know, but there is a good saying, there is a big thing between life and death, maybe my ancestor found something behind, but I didn't care at the time." And then there is a saying that when people die, the experience of life will be replayed in the mind like a marquee, maybe my ancestor suddenly found something wrong after connecting with it, and then told me? Who can say it well?"
Jiang Liyi nodded. As for life and death, this has always been a kind of thing that human beings have been pursuing, and no one can penetrate the mystery in it, perhaps after understanding the mystery between life and death, something magical will happen, one step to the sky or one to become an immortal? Perhaps only the legendary Jizo King Bodhisattva really understood it, otherwise how could he leave a vow that "hell is not empty, and you will not become a Buddha"?
"We should be united now. Huluodi saw that the atmosphere was a little heavy, so it was also to liven up the atmosphere and spoke.
Jiang Liyi gave him a blank look, and didn't seem to bother to reply to him. Just kidding, the two of them have exchanged so many secrets, and that's not a united front?
"I forgot to tell you that I was a very important part of the high priest's planning, and I should have been the ultimate sacrifice. Jiang Liyi said this sentence flatly. When Huluodi heard the "sacrifice", his heart also twitched, as if he was worried about something. Then he raised his head and looked at her, Jiang Liyi was lowering her head at the moment, so Huluodi couldn't see her expression at the moment, but it should be conceivable that her mood at the moment should not be as plain as she appeared, after all, the high priest is also the one who pulled her up since she was a child. If it's all for some purpose, it's really scary. Huluodi asked himself if he was in this situation, then he was afraid that he would have accepted his fate long ago, or go directly to the high priest to confront him face to face, but these two methods were obviously not the best, so Jiang Liyi chose the most difficult one and silently resisted in secret.
No one knows better than Khorodi how difficult this method is to implement. As the general of the nomads, he knows very well how powerful the nomads are, and even all the power he knows is not all the heritage of the nomads, and the high priest is different, he, an old immortal, must know, and it is more likely that a lot of the background is secretly laid by him. Huluodi thought of this and deeply felt a sense of powerlessness, he had practiced for so many years to finally come to this point, why still couldn't he get rid of the fate of being arranged, some people obviously can't completely defeat you with strength, but his strategy can always break through the weakest line of defense in your heart. Murder has to be punished!
So he admires Jiang Liyi very much, admires Jiang Liyi's courage, this is something he never had, this may be the reason why he wants to help Jiang Liyi, maybe his conscience can't get over it, but it is more his feelings for Jiang Liyi, he doesn't want to see her become a white bone, since ancient times, he has a thin life, but he wants her to live! Isn't it fate? He accompanied her to change!
"What do you mean the High Priest is trying to do?" asked Huluodi, who knew a lot about what the High Priest was doing, but he didn't know what the High Priest was doing for what he was doing.
"Maybe it's for his longevity or something, after all, although he has changed so many sets of skins, he still can't escape the fate of heaven and man, and in the end he still has to turn into a piece of loess. It may also be to break through the realm and hide such a big situation from the sky and the sea, the plan must be very big, and it is definitely not something you and I can guess. ”
Jiang Liyi said such a long passage in one breath, and her tone was very flat, as if the person who was going to be sacrificed was not her, but she was obviously the protagonist in this story.
"Once upon a time, there was an old man who would put a little girl on the swing every autumn, and then gently push her on the swing, and this old man would tell her stories to lull her to sleep when she couldn't sleep, and he would teach her the witchcraft and cultivation methods he knew by hand, but from today on, that old man died! From now on, he will have nothing to do with me Jiang Liyi!"
When these words were spoken, the old man who was far away at the altar seemed to respond in his heart, and the old man suddenly felt a pain in his heart, as if he had lost something, and his eyes began to become confused, "Heartache? How many years has this not been a feeling?" He began to figure out what was going on, and after a while, an almost sickly smile appeared on his face, "I see! The reason for the heartache is because of her." "To say that there is no emotion is false, after all, it has been raised for so many years. Soon, however, his emotions became bland again, and a determined look appeared on his face, and compared with his own great cause, this sacrifice was necessary, why should he grieve for her? It was her honor to be able to do something for herself!
Maybe many years ago, there were still human feelings in the high priest's heart, but with the passage of time, human nature can't withstand the consumption of time after all, and it has long disappeared.
On the other side, Jiang Liyi had another idea at the moment, "Since your plan is so important, then I will destroy it, I will let you watch it be destroyed by me, and then I will ask you face to face, why did you abandon me? Is the so-called Great Dao so important? You can give up all emotions." Do you really want to cut off your emotions when you become transcendent, become numb and cold, and don't know the warmth and coldness of human feelings, is this what you really think?"
Jiang Liyi is a little girl after all, so she still can't let go of these obsessions in her heart to a person who pulls herself up, this is the purpose of her resistance, not so great, but it is indeed what she really wants.
