174 The Tree Sacrifice and His Garden of Reflection
The style of this temple is quaint and there are no walls. It is a large gray dome supported by a number of tall white columns. At the top of the dome, a sculpture of a palm with four fingers is erected. The statue shimmers with golden light, and the eyes, mouth, ears, and nose are carved in the center of the palm.
Miraculously, these four organs do not stay fixed in the palm of the hand, but every once in a while, one of them moves to the top of one of the fingers. His eyes scan all sides, his mouth sings the words of God, his ears hear in all directions, and his nose breathes like a living creature.
Red Fury held the crystal ball in his small paws and walked towards the temple. But before he could get closer, a towering staircase appeared in front of him. The stairs were wide, large, and crystal clear, forming a beautiful crystal-like platform that blocked the path of Red Fury.
"My God is above, and you need to show piety. ”
Red Fury looked up and saw a large upside-down tree standing on the steps. It stood on the steps by a few stout branches. The branches were covered with sparse yellow round leaves, mottled bark wrapped around the trunks, a few old roots with red clay clumps pointing to the sky, and three or five "purring" eyes and a mouth with thin lips hanging from the roots.
Red furious pouted and said, "Go away, you'd better stay out of the way until I chop you into firewood." I don't have time to make small talk with you. ”
"Presumptuous, Sig. How can you be so shameless. You have lost even the soul container, how can you still be qualified to meet my god. The mouth on the upside-down tree said in a deep voice. All the eyes on the roots of the tree looked down at the red fury from above, casting a look of contempt, contempt, indifference, and anger. It seems that he wants to look at this red dragon without embarrassment, and he is afraid to retreat.
But Red Fury didn't care about these glances at all, "I repeat, you go to the side to play, or I'll be careful that I'll chop you into firewood." And I remind you that the pious, foolish Sigurt is long dead. What lies before you is a free, fearless red rage. ”
"Sig, you've given up your faith. You're fallen!" the upside-down tree raised its voice, "you don't deserve to set foot in this sacred realm. ”
The upside-down tree just finished speaking. The golden glow that spilled onto the red fury quickly vannihilated. Within half a meter of the Red Fury, a rich black color rolled out.
"Blasphemous! blasphemer! blasphemer is defiling the splendor of my God. The tree screamed. It barked and climbed backwards, as if to get away from the red fury for fear of being stained with the black.
"Don't you think it's too late to run now? Red Fury grabbed a lump of black around him and threw it at the priest.
The black mass of mud smashed into the body of the tree sacrifice, as if a drop of ink fell on the white paper, and quickly spread on the trunk of the tree.
"Blasphemy, blasphemy. Oh my God, Sig, you can't die well. The tree priest cried out in pain, "My god is omnipresent, my god is omnipotent." Our God created everything. Our God gives hope. ”
He prayed aloud, and countless translucent characters poured out of the sacrificial branches of the tree, frantically pounced on the black mass. These characters and black are like warring soldiers, colliding and dying together.
"That's enough. Red Rage sneered, "I have more." ”
The red dragon grabbed another black mass and made a gesture to throw it.
"My God is omnipresent. Sigurt you dare, my god is omnipotent, you are challenging the glory of my god, my god creates everything, you wait. Our God gives hope, and you wait. "The tree sacrifice is in the prayer. Mixed with angry scolding. But he was visibly afraid of the black in Red Fury's hands, and did not dare to stay on the steps any longer. He rose from the ground, chanting and flying into the sky.
"Useless things, I knew you were a coward, a coward who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, and a greedy and despicable sycophant. Phew!" Red Fury spat on the ground.
However, although there is no one in front of him, the steps are real. Red Fury can't enter the temple without climbing up.
The red dragon tilted his head and looked at the staircase with no end in sight, and his mood was very unhappy. The blackness around him shrank back at this moment, enveloping his body and turning into a red flame. In the flames, the red dragon's body swelled out, gradually forming a slender dragon body.
Red Fury reveals his original form. The red dragon flapped its wide black wings and soared low from the ground up the stairs to fly up the steps.
However, the steps below him were endless, and the red dragon flew for an unknown amount of time, and never saw the temple that had appeared before. He is like a lonely traveler, walking on a single-plank bridge that will never reach the other side.
Red Fury also knew in his heart that this was originally a ladder of faith prepared to test the loyalty of believers. Believers may be able to enter the temple in just one step. As for a blasphemer, memories from Sigurt told him that there had not been a blasphemy from the Nether in the sanctuary of the kingdom of God. Of course, there is no way to know whether it is possible for a blasphemer to climb the steps of faith.
So the red dragon, who was a little tired from flying, simply stopped, lay on the steps with his huge body, and began to think about countermeasures.
"Sigurt, you will be punished by our gods. Your sins are unforgivable, and you will never see the light of day. A voice said viciously.
Red Rage looked up at the sky, where a garden was reflected, and it was actually with the sky as the ground and the earth as the sky, so all the scenery in the garden was upside down. One of the most conspicuous is a large tree that grows in the red soil, with small yellow-green round leaves on its branches and several large eyes.
"Lord Priest, do you dare to hide in the Garden of Reflections? Come down, let me see the so-called divine punishment. Red Rage said lazily.
"Divine punishment will naturally come down from my god, you wait. "The Tree Priest was deeply rooted in the garden grounds, and he still had a black scar on his body, but it didn't seem to matter anymore.
Red Furious said, "I've been waiting, but I can't wait." There is no end to this ladder of faith, and it will be difficult for me to go to the temple. ”
"How can you, you blasphemer, climb the ladder of faith. The Tree Priest sneered, "You are not qualified, and my god will not give a fellow like you a chance to meet him." ”
"Yes, if that's the case, it's going to be troublesome. Red Dragon said a little dejectedly, "Well, maybe we can do it another way." ”
"What else can you do? Poor creature, I advise you to hurry up and pray, that the God of my God will punish you with a good deal. After the tree priest finished speaking, he laughed wildly, and the branches of his whole body trembled.
