This meaningful sentence is just the beginning, and there are obviously more mysteries hidden behind it.

Yang Jin's low sigh shattered in the silence, and then she didn't need Tsering Kelsang to ask, she took the initiative to explain.

"Gesang, I once met a woman. ”

"Women?"

"Yes, it was when I was very young, when I was ten years old. ”

Yang Jin's voice was very slow, as if he was trying to sort out the whole context of the matter.

"My tribe has worshipped the gods for generations, and the high priest of the clan will choose twelve girls to serve the gods, and one saint will choose a saint to perform the final prayer dance, which is a great honor for the people. Those twelve girls are the twelve concubines of the Wu clan, and I am the holy daughter of the Wu clan, the one closest to the gods. ”

Tsering Gesang had been curious about Yang Jin's identity more than once before, such a beautiful girl living in the snow mountains, in addition to the possibility that she is a snow girl and a god, she will naturally have a very special identity to explain her many mysteries. It's just that Yang Jin never mentioned this, and Tsering Gesang also knew that he didn't ask.

And now, Yang Jin said these words himself, Tsering Gesang couldn't help but have a sense of "sure enough" trance, at this time he didn't realize that Yang Jin was actually related to his dream is actually a very terrible thing, he just thought about it according to the girl's words, and immediately sighed.

"Doesn't that sound like a great thing?"

"That's right, that's what I used to think, and I've always made it my mission. As a witch saint, I am willing to give everything for the gods, including my life and soul, and this is what I should do. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Jin sighed in a low voice, the heavy snow outside the wooden window seemed to bury everything, and the sense of struggle brought by the nightmare tore Tsering Gesang's nerves, and he even felt that the memory of that night had become trance.

"However, when I was ten years old, on the eve of entering the temple, I met a mysterious woman. She knows everything about the Wu Clan, like a god who has escaped from the outside to watch the context of the situation. The woman told me that the witch patriarch's previous sacrifice was a deception, and that we could not summon the gods in the end, but would become victims of eternal life. ”

"Victims?"

"Yes, this sacrifice has two meanings, she said that the twelve concubines and the holy maidens are worshiped by the tribesmen, like the embodiment of the gods, but in fact they are only innocent victims. Our tribe is reincarnated once every 12 years, and after the last sacrifice, the twelve concubines and saints disappear, and then they are replaced by new people, and in this way, the sacrifice is carried out again and again. ”

Yang Jin's eyelashes drooped slightly, and her confusion and sadness were suppressed by her.

"This is the custom of the Wu clan for a long time, and the people think that the sacrifice once every twelve years is to give the twelve concubines and the holy maidens eternal life, and they use their young and short lives to worship the gods, and the blessings they leave behind are enough to protect everyone. The people of the Wu clan have believed in this for generations, but the woman told me that the twelve concubines and the holy maidens were merely sacrificing their lives to evil gods. ”

"Sacrifice to the evil gods?" asked Tsering Gesang,

"That's right, the gods of the Wu clan are evil gods," Yang Jin's tone was very slow, undisguised his caution, "In other words, the goddess of the Wu clan will not protect anyone at all, and the real reason for the destruction of the ancient kingdom of Loulan back then was because of the anger of the gods when they came into the world." And the split of the Wu clan hundreds of years ago was actually because the people who discovered the truth wanted to break free from the shackles brought by fate, so as to save themselves. It's a pity that in the face of fate, this self-salvation is meaningless, the sacrifice of the Wu clan continues, the efforts of a hundred years ago failed, the truth was buried, and the deception began again. ”

These words were so subversive that Tsering Gesang heard them in a fog, and he had to calm down and sort out the clues.

Yang Jin's words are like some kind of explanation, making the picture in his dream and the content of Abba's narration more complete, but behind the completeness is not the answer itself, but more obscure.

"It's one of the scams, so what does the second layer mean?"

"If the sacrifice that has been carried out by the Wu clan for thousands of years is a deception, we are just a tool to summon evil gods. Then, at the very beginning of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, before the demise of the ancient kingdom of Loulan, the deception had already occurred....... Actually, the secret of immortality is true, but the original high priest did not tell the truth, she glimpsed the secret from the Tower of Babel, but did not deal with it according to the ancient prophecy, she cultivated both the Black Saintess and the White Saintess, which is already a false beginning. And at the last moment, the high priest of Loulan still made the wrong choice, she made the black saint as a sacrifice, the white saint as a container, and invited the god of destruction from the mirage, which caused the current cycle of death. ”

"Why would she do that?"

Tsering Gesang had so many questions in his heart that words such as "black saint" or "white saintess" suddenly drilled into his mind, bringing a completely unfamiliar shock, but these almost absurd words coincided with the images in his dreams.

For example, the dream that I just woke up from.......

He clearly witnessed the scorching sun and the long yellow sand, and watched the magnificent temple turn from its peak to broken bricks and tiles, covered by tangled flowers and vines, and finally even the bricks and tiles were swallowed up. Of course, Tsering Gesang also vaguely remembered that a thunderclap seemed to fall on the dark and gloomy sky, and behind the miserable white lightning was a towering tower.

That may be what Yang Jin said, the Tower of Babel.

"Because, selfishness. ”

When Tsering Gesang was silent, Yang Jin sighed and opened his mouth.

"Sacrificing to the goddess is a long-standing tradition in the ancient kingdom of Loulan, there is no problem with this, in the beginning, everyone did not think about immortality and other reasons, but just wanted to pray for peace and give the entire ancient kingdom of Loulan protection. It wasn't until the appearance of the high priest with the power of heaven that the situation gradually changed - the high priest connected to the remnants of the gods, and indeed spied on the miracle, and then inadvertently discovered the secret of immortality, which completely changed the fate of the ancient kingdom of Loulan. ”

"So does immortality really exist?" Tsering Gesang couldn't help but exclaim.

"I can't give you an accurate answer, because the woman didn't give me an accurate answer when she told me about these things. Yang Jin considered his tone and simply said it more clearly, "Can a drop of water break a boulder, if you stand on an objective standpoint, this is obviously not true, but there is still a reason for a drop of water to wear a stone." As long as the quantitative change accumulates to a certain extent, the quantitative change will be formed, and the impossible will become possible. ”

Yang Jin still remembered that the mysterious woman at that time was almost a charming smile, her eyes were cold, and her tone was light, just like she was stating the facts, but there was an indescribable style.

"The High Priest figured this out, and began to make a terrible assumption—if the divine powers of the gods were brought together and connected to the present world through some special bond, would it be possible to change one's life against the heavens?"

....... That's when everything went awry.

Pandora's crate suddenly opened.

After that, the high priest of the ancient kingdom of Loulan tried in vain to summon the gods and gather the miracles that originally blessed Loulan in one place, so he built the Tower of Babel that could communicate with the gods, and wanted to summon the gods from the mirage, or to carry the divine power left by the gods - trying to create gods. And this so-called immortality is against the sky, gathering the miracles that originally blessed everyone to specific people and benefiting a small number of people, which is nothing more than a deception of the royal family and the temple to satisfy selfish desires. ”

Just hearing this, Tsering Gesang couldn't help frowning tightly.

But where there is a wrong beginning, the subsequent disintegration is almost inevitable. And what is now being told by Yang Jin little by little is just a concretization of the process of disintegration, and the cruelty that has been concealed in the years has been re-torn apart.

And this is not the highest mistake of the high priest, what really caused the tragedy was her choice later. It is precisely this deception that has brought the ancient kingdom of Loulan to the end of the road, and there is no room for maneuver. ”

"What kind of lie?"

"It was the last sacrifice that summoned the gods, and at the end of the sacrifice, the Tower of Babel was opened, and the vessel took on all the divine power in the mirage, completing the final god-making ceremony. And in this process, it should be that the Black Saintess should be used as a container, and the White Saintess and the Twelve Concubines should be used as sacrifices, becoming bargaining chips to awaken the gods. However, at the last high sacrifice, the high priest reversed the identities of the black saint and the white saint....... In other words, earlier, the identities of the Black Saintess and the White Saintess were reversed by her. ”

That's when the deception began.

The girl who was supposed to be a sacrifice, the white saint who was supposed to die in the sacrifice was replaced, and she entered the mirage of the illusion, waiting to become a vessel for the gods to descend. And the innocent Black Saintess, together with the Twelve Maidens, completed the dance of annihilation, supporting the existence of the mirage connected to the void, and summoning the Tower of Babel, which should not exist in the world.

If you don't worship sincerely, you can only summon evil gods.

Greed drives people to do all kinds of evil things, to take risks that they don't have to take, and to pay the price they deserve because of greed. After that, the situation became out of control, and the sacrifice that had seemed to be desperate finally summoned monsters, and the wrath of the gods was unbearable, and the result that awaited the innocent people of the ancient kingdom of Loulan was only destruction.

For thousands of years, it was just the innocent people of the Wu clan who were atoning for and paying for the high priest's greed, and a meaningless cycle continued on the fork in the road that was already very wrong.

In the face of this catastrophe, there are simply no survivors.
