Chapter 1: Escape from the Temple
When Natsuno woke up, he found himself lying in a bronze coffin in a small space, hot, thirsty, and lonely enveloping him.
He couldn't remember who he was or why he was here, and he shook his groggy head with all his might, trying to remember everything, but there was a tingle.
At this moment, only the jade pendant on his body was glowing slightly, dispelling the darkness around him, so that he would not be one with the darkness.
Xia Ye struggled to support his body, sat up, turned out the copper coffin, and stepped on the solid floor.
Through the glimmer of the jade pendant, he saw a white bone with his back against the bronze coffin and a long sword in his hand, and an inexplicable sadness struck, and tears unconsciously slipped down the corners of his eyes.
He wanted to recall everything, but found that his brain was violently resisting something, and he began to become a little delirious, and a voice in his heart kept roaring, "Get out of here, get out of here, and then forget everything here, and you will be liberated." ”
He groped around with his staggering footsteps, surrounded by walls made of green bricks, and not far away, he faintly saw a small door on the green brick wall that seemed to be opened by hand.
He crawled frantically over a closed bronze door. Pushing hard, the bronze door did not move except for some dust dropping.
"No, I don't want to stay here..."Natsuno curled up on the ground, holding his head, whispering in constant pain.
The jade pendant in his hand suddenly began to vibrate, and broke free of his palm, floating out of thin air, and then quickly embedded in a depression in the bronze door.
The moment the jade pendant was embedded, the bronze door instantly overflowed, and the light was magnificent, and then dimmed. The bronze door began to tremble, and finally slowly opened automatically under Xia Ye's demented gaze.
The moment the door opened, he had already raised his head, looking at the darkness outside the door, he subconsciously pulled out the jade pendant and climbed out.
The bronze door slowly closed again, as if it had never been opened.
It's a new place, and although there is no light, that feeling of emptiness makes Natsuno very real, and the endless darkness devours everything here.
It is a temple with a square layout, the size of a football field, and there is no exit, and the only corridor is sealed. The temple has a vault, a simple Buddha statue in front of the right, four bronze pillars at the four corners, and simple reliefs on the walls, but all have varying degrees of damage. And the ground was littered with the bones of the dead and rotten weapons.
If the judgment is correct, there should have been a large-scale fierce battle here many years ago.
When Xia Ye looked at the white bones all over the ground, he became completely crazy.
Yes!...
His eyes widened and he roared to the sky. Expressions of anger, pain, and despair intertwined to make him hideous, and an overwhelming killing intent filled the entire space like a violent wind.
Suddenly, the jade pendant rose abnormally, flew in front of the Buddha statue uncontrollably, and began to rotate non-stop, turning faster and faster, and for a time the light was great, shrouding the entire temple in a red light.
The jade pendant under the light is actually hollowed out inside, and everywhere you can see on the jade surface is a very small and dense hole, and there is a stone with a color like the size of a red bean inlaid in the middle. This strange red light is exactly what it emits through the jade hole.
Then, the entire temple began to shake violently, and the dust on the vault and surrounding walls kept falling.
The crazy Xia Ye was stunned by this sudden bright light for a while, his eyes couldn't open for a while, he couldn't stand steadily, lost his center of gravity, was thrown out, and hit the bronze pillar hard.
After some time, the light dimmed and the shaking of the temple stopped
Xia Ye, who was hit, lay on the ground in pain, and after regaining a trace of consciousness, he reached out and picked up the jade pendant that fell beside him.
The jade pendant underwent a strange change when it touched the blood in Xia Ye's palm, only to see the jade pendant slowly turn into a stream of liquid, melt into Xia Ye's palm, and follow the blood to his heart, merging into a mysterious symbol imprinted on his heart.
He couldn't think about the jade pendant now, so he could only crawl towards the glimmer of light not far ahead with the last trace of consciousness...
Half a day later, on the desert sand sea, Xia Ye, who had regained consciousness, fell silent as he looked at the palm of his hand.
He didn't know who he was, what happened, why the jade pendant melted into his body, why he was in the desert when he was in the temple, and his memory was blank.
He felt like a fog that had been enveloping him.
A round sunset sticks to the ridge line of the desert, and the earth is lined with a dull and dark layer, revealing a layer of crimson, and the desert waves supporting the setting sun are frozen, like a sleeping sea.
Xia Ye was walking alone, very tired, he lay on the yellow sand, watching the blood-colored sunset.
Listening to the rustle of a scorpion crawling in the sand beside him, he took a deep breath and smiled tiredly.
Because it won't be long before he can finally leave this desert.
During this period, except for recalling that his name was Xia Ye, all other memories of himself disappeared.
Not far from the horizon, the wind and sand suddenly rose.
Xia Ye took a look, the damn sandstorm is here again, this weather...
He sighed helplessly, rolled over, and subconsciously continued along the vague route in his mind.
