Chapter 199: Sacrifice
In the short silence, He Manzhou accepted these things that Bai Yicong said as quickly as possible.
For some reason, Bai Yicong's analysis almost coincided with the illusion she had just seen.
Those things that she hadn't fully figured out before suddenly had reasonable answers. The body of the Black Saintess, as a container for the birth of the goddess, was originally the most holy existence in the highest, but such holiness never belonged to her, but something that the gods attached to her. If the Twelve Maidens and the Witch Saintess were just dry wood burning in that sacrifice, destined to be swallowed up by the raging fire, then the Black Saintess was the destined victim, she was the burning sacrifice in the flames, the source of all disasters.
That's why there were those things that happened in the ancient country of Loulan, and even the deviation that happened in the end.
At the time of the terrible sacrifice, it was the little princess Loulan dressed in gorgeous clothes who ascended to the altar and danced the world-destroying dance, and in the cave behind the shrine, it was the black saintess who approached the thick darkness that could not be dissolved, lying in the dark blue crystal coffin, slowly sleeping in the eternal night, refusing to rest again.
These emotions turned and turned in He Manzhou's heart, and after a little consideration, she still decided to say those words.
"Bai Yicong, if I said that I had seen these things, would you believe it?"
"What?"
Hearing this, Bai Yicong turned his head slightly.
He saw the hesitation flashing in the eyes of the girl in front of him, and the hesitation may not be due to whether he could say the next words, but thinking about how to say it, so he raised his hand and gently put it on He Manzhou's shoulder, giving her a silent reassurance.
"It's okay, you say, I'll listen. ”
Bai Yi passed the temperature from the palm of his hand through the fabric of the sweater, and he patted He Manzhou's slender shoulder unhurriedly, as if he was coaxing a wronged child, or holding a shivering kitten in his arms. If you have to give an objective analysis, there is certainly gentleness and restraint in the movements, but it is also true that you don't understand the minds of girls.
Why, I can't even say a sweet word, so I just do it.
Does everything depend on silence at this time?
Although he knew that it was a bit wrong to run away at this time, He Manzhou still couldn't help but sigh at his boyfriend's nerves.
Boss Bai can't boast about the advantages of other aspects, and the comings and goings on the business battlefield or the transparent calculations in the world are all hand-to-hand things for him. But when dealing with the people he likes, Bai Yicong has directly changed from a king to a primary school student, and he can't use the slightest means, so he can only do what he wants, and he can't go around a little circle at all.
This can't be said to be white, and it's never bad, on the contrary, many people envy that they really meet the right person. However, everything has advantages and disadvantages, for Bai Yicong and He Manzhou, the tacit trust between them is there, sincerity and delicacy are also there, but there is a little less impulsiveness and eagerness, as if directly entering the old husband and wife mode, when the mountains and seas swear to spend the moon, Bai Yicong is already ready to add a name to the household registration book, and personally regards He Manzhou as his daughter-in-law.
In a word, it is a love experience without any love period.
But what can be done, as the old saying goes, one thing descends one thing.
He Manzhou boasted that as a beautiful girl who yearns for romance, her previous yearning for love has always been those love fairy tales played in idol dramas, and even when she had no experience in love earlier, she was able to educate her senior sister Gu Qi without shame, what is called love is difficult to control, and what is called fate. Ordinary and insipid getting along can only run in a tasteless and regrettable relationship, you have to be vigorous to live and die to call love, and you can afford to say that he has to be.
It wasn't until he met Bai Yicong that He Manzhou discovered that the so-called principles were all false. Just like He Manzhou didn't think that she would be tempted by Bai Yicong's style earlier, but after really falling in love at first sight, she realized that what made her tempted was never what style, it was just Bai Yicong's person.
When she meets someone she likes, it is a true fragrance scene that breaks the principle, who let her eat Bai Yi from this set?
No matter how low Bai Yicong's rank is, he can't stand He Manzhou's tens of thousands of filters and the drama-like brain supplement in his heart.
Like now—
Bai Yi's contact from point to point made He Manzhou feel inexplicably at ease.
He clearly didn't say anything moving, but He Manzhou could feel that he was by his side, and with this down-to-earth warmth, the terrifying scenes that repeatedly overlapped in the illusion seemed to be cut off. The depressed feeling of isolation and helplessness was scattered in the imperceptible warmth that emerged from Bai Yi's eyes, as if the most difficult moment had passed.
So, He Manzhou cleared his throat and opened his mouth unhurriedly.
"Bai Yicong, I have always seen illusions during this time, after I came back from Zhaohui Mountain last time, I have already told you once, you comforted me at that time, and I don't want to say these nonsensical things over and over again. However, I saw more and more illusions on the way to Xizang, and I didn't know what it meant, but I always felt ....... These illusions, as well as the dreams I once had, must have been a metaphor for something, and just when you said that I was running away, I saw that sacrifice. ”
"What sacrifice?" Bai Yicong asked.
As Bai Yicong's voice fell, He Manzhou didn't hesitate much, and immediately told the illusion she had just seen. The content at the moment is almost absurd, almost like He Manzhou's babbling nonsense, but the more Bai Yicong listens to it, the more frightened he becomes. The analysis that was supposed to continue tossed between his lips and teeth, and was finally swallowed by him.
There is no other reason, the information given by He Manzhou is no less than a shock. Bai Yi was as silent as ever on his face, but there was a storm in his heart, and he couldn't help but chew on many questions repeatedly, so that he got some confirmation, which was the last thing he wanted to confirm.
He Manzhou, sure enough, is that container.
Vessels, vessels that carry the gods, sacrifices behind sacrifices.
........ What does this mean?
When he came to such a conclusion, Bai Yicong's memory seemed to return to that long night of wind and rain.
The old man's voice was a little hoarse, and his voice seemed to be hidden in thunder, but every word seemed so profound.
"The Black Saintess will only appear when the White Saintess lineage is severed, representing destruction and change, and portending an irresistible bloodlight disaster. But, child, did you know that sometimes destruction itself is a new birth, welcoming the arrival of the gods in the midst of destruction, the death of life in the illusion, and the beginning of what is called eternal life...... The destruction is the beginning, and the beginning is the destruction, so that all the disasters become meaningful, which is why the Black Saintess exists. ”
"What does this mean, is the Black Saint a god?"
That was when Bai Yicong was still young, he was just a child who had just entered elementary school, and many of his thoughts were direct and straightforward.
He still doesn't know how to delve into the reasons behind things, and he can't listen to those secretive words. Even when his grandfather told him these crucial secrets, Bai Yicong only regarded it as a vague story, because he didn't understand it well, so it didn't arouse much interest, and in the end he was only drowsy.
Now that I recall it, I don't know if I missed too many points, but I vaguely remember my grandfather's low sigh hidden in the wind.
"No, the Black Saint is not a god, but a vessel. ”
And at this moment, Bai Yi couldn't wait for everything to start all over again, or from the few words that had passed many years and had been tampered with by memory, and he didn't know how many times he had been tampered with by his memory, to find clues and crack the true secrets of the ancient kingdom of Loulan. is probably concerned about chaos, until this moment Bai Yicong finally can't maintain absolute sanity.
It was also at this time that he suddenly realized that the goal of the little princess Loulan had always been on He Manzhou's body, and others were just pushes.
What do the Avengers want the container to do with such a big picture?
Trying to create gods, or summoning gods?
Even if you know that He Manzhou is the target of everyone, what else can you do?
The current situation is here, the "Goddess's Battle Suit" is about to be gathered, and everything is developing rapidly in an irreversible form. If the "goddess's suit" fell into the hands of the little princess, it would be nothing more than to make the last imminent battle even more unwinning, Bai Ye had never been afraid of anything, but this time it was about He Manzhou, and he felt tricky for the first time.
It may be that there is no way back, and there is no way to take a step back.
Even if it stops at the same place, it is nothing more than being confined to a stalemate and unable to get out, and no matter how you do it, you can't escape the dilemma and dilemma.
What should you do if you are in such a situation?
.......
Seeing that Bai Yicong hadn't spoken for a long time, He Manzhou was a little anxious.
She said in her heart that these things she said were clueless, even if she thought about it, she would feel like she was talking in a dream, but with her boyfriend's intelligence, she wouldn't not have understood. If he understood, why didn't Bai Yicong express his opinion, or the situation was so serious that he couldn't speak, every step was a dead end, and he didn't even want to say it?
"Hey, Bai Yicong, don't say anything......."
The more He Manzhou thought about it, the more panicked she became, and she held it back for a long time, and she finally couldn't hold it anymore.
"What do you think of the current situation, I have done enough psychological construction, just say what you think, rest assured, I can bear the big bad news, you don't have to be taboo about anything. ”
"No, I'm just thinking about something. ”
Bai Yicong retracted his thoughts, and didn't say a word about the trade-offs in his heart, but talked about other things.
"Assuming that what you said is true, it can only mean that the mystery hidden in that sacrifice is deeper than we expected, and this is the root cause that we need to investigate, or the real secret of the ancient kingdom of Loulan. ”
"What do you say?" He Manzhou hurriedly asked.
"During the final prayer to the gods, the identities of the Black Saintess and the Holy Maiden were suddenly reversed, leading to a catastrophe. However, the high priest was aware of the whole story, and she would not have been unaware of the consequences of a mistake in the sacrifice, but she still connived at it....... There is only one explanation behind this, that is, summoning the goddess is not just the whole conspiracy, the high priest is hiding a deeper conspiracy, and her true purpose is not even clear to the Loulan monarch, so she can only exchange the tanuki for the prince at the last moment. ”
It was as if a sealed veil had been lifted suddenly, revealing a corner of the secret buried in the sand.
"So the real purpose of the high priest is the real cause of the disaster in the ancient kingdom of Loulan?"
