Chapter 252: Time
But any human being who has the ability to think online and has a normal outlook will feel that the scene in front of him is very ridiculous.
How could the holy woman of Liuzhen appear in a time and space that should not appear at all, standing in front of Gu Qi and Liu Mu, telling the tragedy that happened in Liuzhen's sacrifice word by word? There are also the obscure parts of her words, the big picture laid by the unidentified man, the mandala that grows in the flames that burn the sky, and the monsters that are bred in the cannibalistic flowers.
A lot of things are getting more and more abnormal.
No, in addition to these anomalies, there are more acute problems.
....... Isn't the saint already dead?
How could she tell in such a bland tone how she was buried in that fire, how she became a stepping stone when a monster descended in endless pain, witnessed the birth of a monster, and carried those evils that could not be relieved. How did you encounter the betrayal of your best friend, and in the end, you watched your best friend also be burned by the fire, and in the end, no one broke away from the established fate, and finally realized that the so-called freedom is just the most ridiculous illusion?
How could she seal such a deep grudge for so many years, and bury it all in this temple of the dragon maiden destroyed by fire, like a plant irrigated by blood, absorbing nutrients in the long night, turning hatred and death into power, growing in a place where the sun does not shine, nourishing this ancient temple full of weirdness and evil?
When evil accumulates to a certain extent, it is destined to bring about the final destruction.
At this point, the situation is quite clear.
Gu Qi bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, as if he was forcing himself to calm down.
The strangeness that has always haunted Gu Qi's heart today, and the trance that became more and more intense because of the separation from talking to Liu Nansheng, has been explained at this moment. It wasn't until this moment that she finally knew what was wrong, the Dragon Maiden Temple she and Liu Mu visited before was indeed here, the same mysterious ancient temple hidden deep in the forest, and the same sacrifice carried out by the lake as horizontal as a mirror.
There was nothing wrong with the location, there was nothing wrong with the itinerary, everything was planned.
There's only one thing that's wrong, and that's time.
Since when did the time and space have completely collapsed, was it the sudden huge wave that swept Gu Qi and Liu Mu into the deep pool, and thus came to another time and space? Or from earlier, all this has been revealed, but the opportunity is hidden by more doubts.
These details could not be confirmed, but she was very aware of the situation at hand.
In a particular location, affected by an unknown medium, time and space are folded.
She and Liu Mu clearly stepped into the temple many years ago, this is not the ruins of the Dragon Maiden Temple that Liu Nan took them over to investigate a few days ago, but the purgatory on earth after being burned by that tragic fire
Outside the Dragon Maiden Temple, there was a downpour, and the lightning brightened the dark sky, like a dagger with a dazzling silver light that tore open a hole in the layers of overlapping clouds, and then the fishy rain fell from the clouds, burying everything in the world.
And in the light and darkness of the light, the towering towers can be faintly seen, like an illusion in the pouring rain.
As a result, the boundary between the unreal and the real is no longer clear.
.........
For a while, the huge amount of information was shocking, and many things were too late to digest.
Gu Qi subconsciously looked at the man next to him, as if he wanted to communicate with him. It was no different from what was expected, Liu Dashao, who had always been a good man, was also a lot more serious at the moment, obviously he was also aware of the strangeness in the Dragon Maiden Temple, and clearly sensed that the current situation was not optimistic, so the look at that moment could be described as heavy.
Liu Mu's gaze stopped on the distorted face of the white-clothed saint for a few seconds, and her lower lip was bitten by her teeth lightly, as if to relieve the excessive panic in her heart, force herself to calm down, and find a way to break the situation that is enough to deal with the current situation.
When he realized that Gu Qi was looking at him, Liu Mucai finally turned his head in hindsight, wanting to give a little comfort to the girls around him who were also confused. His arms naturally wrapped around Gu Qi's shoulders, and his tone slowed down a little.
"Don't panic, it's okay......."
The voice of this sentence has not yet fallen, it is a large-scale face slapping scene.
Before Liu Dashao could organize the language and say a few nice words, he was interrupted by the faint cry of a ghost through the wind.
"But, here you are......."
The girl's voice was sharp and piercing, completely devoid of the gentleness of the original whispered story, and her eyes were full of bitter hatred, eager to tear everything in the Dragon Maiden Temple to pieces.
"You're finally here........ Hahahahaha........ha
Terrible laughter echoed in the empty temple of the Dragon Maiden.
Every brick and tile of the dilapidated ancient temple reveals a dead atmosphere, the white lightning outside illuminates the night, the statue of the god covered with sand is strange and hideous, and in the center is enshrined a very moving woman. Even the rough carving could not hide the amazing beauty, and everyone who has seen this statue will be amazed by the beauty.
But under this situation, the beauty of lightning and thunder and flickering candles is strange and out of place in the world.
It's so beautiful that it makes people fearful.
There was another rolling thunder in the sky, and the moment the lightning shone brightly, the stone statues in the ancient temple also let out a terrible sinister laughter, blowing through the increasingly violent hurricane, and the sharp and piercing sound was like a ghost, almost tearing people's eardrums.
The candle flame flickered in the hurricane, and the face of the saint became more and more terrifying.
Her dusty white dress was stained with blood little by little, and the rich blood came from nowhere, but it gradually clinged to the pure white skirt, staining the last purity. The air was also filled with a disgusting smell of blood, mixed with the billowing smoke emitted from the burning of wood, depriving Gu of what little sanity he had left.
If it was said that because of the sudden appearance of monstrous waves, Liu Mu and Gu Qi did not sink directly to the bottom of the sea and choked to death with the water that was choked into the nasal cavity, it was already quite contrary to scientific common sense, and the experience seemed very hell-seeking. So now, the situation has become even more unreasonable, the previous sentence of "seeing ghosts" was actually said too early, in this weird dragon girl temple, Gu Qi and Liu Mu are really alive and ghostly, still covered with blood and tears, as if they are about to swallow their lives alive in the next second.
"Liu Mu ......."
After a brief moment of distraction, Gu Qi subconsciously shouted, and in response to her was the man's clenched hand.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. ”
Liu Mumian barely held up a smile, and under the successive stimuli, she could only try to give the girls around her a little stability with the warmth transmitted by her palm, telling her that she was by her side, and everything was not as bad as she imagined.
"Listen to me....... There's something wrong with this Dragon Maiden Temple, and we've got to find a way to get out of here first. ”
Before Gu Qi had time to respond to anything, and he didn't have much time to sigh, he was shocked by the more terrifying scene.
The strange scenes in front of her one after another, the dim light suddenly illuminated the ruins of the broken wall, the girl in the white gauze robe approached step by step with a cruel smile, the blood and tears on her face couldn't stop dripping, and even her facial features gradually became distorted.
With a smile at a strange angle, the girl's fair skin reflected more and more blood, the originally delicate and beautiful face actually became charcoal-black, and the slender back of the hand gradually detached from the flesh and skin, and finally only the white bones after being burned by the fire remained.
"Since you've found this place and awakened me, stay with me......."
The girl's mournful voice continued to surround, and the yin wind around her became more and more raging.
Countless sand and gravel were blown up by the wind, rolling up from the ground, blurring Gu Qi's sight. Out of nowhere, there was a sound of metal colliding, and the crisp sound was repeated at a single frequency, extremely poignant in the midst of the storm, with hypnotic bewitchment, as if if you would completely lose your mind if you are not careful, and fall into the bottomless abyss and unable to save yourself.
"Liu Mu, Liu Mu...... Listen to me......."
Through the hustle and bustle and the sound of chanting, Gu Qi's voice was eager and ethereal.
The look on the face of the approaching girl became more and more hideous, and she moved slowly, the hem of her blood-stained clothes fluttering up and down. This is not the crux of the problem, what is really frightening is that with the pace of the girl's mechanical version, there have been huge fluctuations in the ancient temple. Countless drops of blood continued to fall to the ground, rendering large circles of red, the boulders on the ground actually cracked the cracks in the road, the beams on the roof of the temple began to shatter, and the stones of different sizes began to loosen, and then fell down.
If this is compared to some kind of illusion, the moment Gu Qi and Liu Mu started talking to the girl, there was a crack in this time and space, and when she finished telling the story completely, the illusion supported by resentment was completely shattered, replaced by cruel revenge, and the world collapsed from the catharsis of resentment that lasted for many years.
Before Gu Qi could finish speaking, Liu Mu interrupted her words.
It was a cautious look on the face of the eldest young master, who was usually cynical, and it was this seriousness that inexplicably made people feel a little at ease, as if even such a stalemate could be handled with ease. Just as Liu Mu's arm on his shoulder at the moment was so solid and powerful, it actually calmed down the flustered Gu Qi in an instant.
Then, Gu Qi heard Liu Mu's whisper in his ear.
The man's voice was urgent, but it was also gentle, and it was clearly groundless, but it became the last straw under the boundless terror, which made Gu Qi feel a little more at ease for no reason.
"Teacher Gu, don't be afraid, none of this is true, give me some time, and I'll explain it to you. ”
The boulders were still rolling down one after another, and the sharp stones scratched Gu Qi's arm. The white sweater was already covered with dust after a few twists and turns, and soon it was red with the blood oozing from the wound, but she didn't feel the pain. In the face of death, pain has become a trivial thing.
Even fear has been dulled in the face of despair.
