Chapter 1: The Beginning
The hot spring covered his mouth tightly, trying not to make a sound.
The cold sweat and tears on her forehead mixed together, and poured down the palm of the hand covering her mouth into her mouth, making her mouth full of saltiness.
The hot spring was hidden in a dark lattice under the floor, and it was her father who stuffed her in, and told her not to go out, not to go out, not to go out!
The dark lattice is small, a square lattice made of cement, and the dust is thick. Onsen's body couldn't stretch, and half of her body was paralyzed, but she didn't care.
She cares more about the middle-aged man who is lying on the ground and begging for mercy outside the dark lattice, his name is Wen Hai, his name is her father, and he is also the seventeenth generation heir of the Mid-Levels Temple.
"Please, I really don't know where Shending went! please let me go, the gods will bless you!"
Wen Hai was lying on the ground with a swollen nose and a swollen face, and two men in black suits stood him up and made his face face the boss.
"Wen Hai, how could you not know where Shending went, I'll give you one last chance, I'm sure no one would want to die so soon!"
In the hot spring's line of sight, she couldn't see the boss's appearance clearly, and could only see the other party's shoes, which were a pair of black, hand-sewn crocodile leather shoes, with black trouser legs covering the socks, and the whole leg was trimmed straight and slender.
"I'm sorry, I really don't know, you've all searched it, and there's really nothing at home!"
Wen Hai's words begging for mercy did not arouse the boss's sympathy, he snorted coldly, lowered his hand, and then used the strength of his whole body to punch Wen Hai's jaw.
Suddenly, Wen Hai's mandible was misaligned, and the bridge of his nose was hit hard, and he began to bleed non-stop.
"Wen Hai! toast and don't eat and drink, did the gods teach you?" the boss's voice continued, "By the way, what about your daughter?
Wen Hai immediately shouted: "You can deal with me! Don't deal with my daughter!"
His mandibles were misaligned, and his voice was muffled, but Onsen could still hear her father's stubbornness. At that moment, the hot spring almost rushed out!
"If you don't hand over Shending, I'll deal with your daughter! I'll not only her, but also sell her to Africa!"
Wen Hai kept struggling, and the two black-clad bodyguards held him firmly, preventing him from moving.
"Hahaha... Kill me, even if you kill me, I won't tell my daughter's whereabouts!" Wen Hai's expression was a little crazy, he already had a desperate determination, "You despicable, shameless barbarians, it is impossible for Shending to be handed over to you, no matter how miserable I am, you will not be able to get any information about Shending!"
The boss was visibly enraged by Wen Hai's words, and he drew his pistol from the bodyguard's waist, and with a 'poof' sound, the bullet had already sunk into Wen Hai's leg bone.
"Ahh Ahh
Wen Hai was howling loudly, and the pain made him break out in a cold sweat, and it made the hot springs trapped in the dark lattice even more worrying.
The hot springs wanted to go out, and she couldn't wait to go out, but her strong reason told her that she couldn't go out, and once she went out, Shending couldn't keep it!
These people are here for the gods.
Although the hot springs don't know what it is, the temple has been worshipping it for hundreds of years, which shows that it is an unusual thing.
It is a small tripod in the shape of an incense burner, non-gold, non-silver, non-copper and non-iron, the hot spring has touched it, the touch is very similar to jade, but softer than jade, it looks like human skin.
Now this incense burner-like god is in her arms, in the faint light, scattering a dim halo.
Wen Hai told the hot springs since he was a child: Shending is here, Shending is dead, and the Wen family has taken it as their responsibility to protect Shending for generations, and they can't have any betrayal!
The hot spring clutched his mouth and nose, and the pain and sadness in his heart spread in the narrow dark compartment. She hugged Xiaoding in her arms tightly, it was really not worth her father's sacrifice.
"Who are you, and why did you come up with the idea of Ding?" Wen Hai gasped, although he had been tortured and lost half his life, he still wanted to ask clearly.
"As the guardians of the Shending, you should understand the value of the Ding. The boss took a long breath and began to understand it with reason and emotion, "Anyway, you see, Nading has been in your temple for so many years, and nothing has changed. Why don't you leave it to us, and let us study it, and maybe it will benefit all mankind?
Wen Hai raised his head, his tongue curled, and a mouthful of saliva sprayed on the other party's face.
I don't know how you know about Ding, but as long as I'm alive, you don't even want to know where Ding is!"
The boss, who had finally calmed down, began to go crazy again, and he raised the pistol again, and with three 'bangs, bangs, bangs', Wen Hai's legs and arms were all broken. His body spread out, and the whole person fell to the ground like a pillar.
The viscous bright red color is shocking in the eyes of the hot springs. She couldn't contain the idea of wanting to go out, but in the next second, Wen Hai's movements completely shocked the hot spring!
Wen Hai didn't know where the strength came from, his waist and abdomen stood up, and the arm that was pierced by the bullet bounced up again, he held the boss's hand tightly, and snatched the pistol in his hand unexpectedly.
This series of actions was so fast and perfect that even the two bodyguards couldn't react.
Wen Hai held the gun with trembling hands, the pain making him sweat and his face pale, and blood gushed from the bullet holes, wetting his clothes.
Wen Hai tugged at the broken mandible, put on an imperfect smile, and finally, he aimed the pistol at his head!
"Bang", this is the last gunshot, it runs through the door of Wen Hai's head to the back of his head, and the hot spring watched the bullet fly out of the back of his head, and even saw her father completely collapsed, and the imperfect smile still remained, so that the hot spring hidden in the dark compartment broke the liver and intestines!
Hot Springs desperately wanted to stand up, she wanted to go out and smash their minds with the gods, and smash every bone in their bodies with a hammer!
But Onsen couldn't stand up, because her body was numb because she had been in one position for a long time, and her legs were so numb that she couldn't exert any strength!
Her hand let go of her mouth, and her teary eyes blurred her hand reached to touch the mahogany floor above her head, her hand was soft and unsmoky.
Hot Springs was on the verge of a sane stupor, her waist lifted slightly, and her arms touched the floor. But the incense burner that had been hiding in her arms was rolled by her straight waist!
The two palm-sized Shending went all the way down the hem of the hot spring's clothes, and after a few turns, it fell to the ground with a 'snap' sound.
The consciousness of the hot spring has not returned, but the boss hears the movement.
"There's a noise over there, hurry up and take a look!"
The bodyguard got the order and immediately walked cautiously towards the hot spring.
The proximity of the other party brought the confused hot spring back to her senses, she seemed to wake up like a dream, looked down, and saw that the ding that her father had sworn to protect was thrown to the ground by her.
Hot Springs hurriedly picked up Shending, and the two bodyguards were already standing above her head with guns.
"BOSS, there seems to be something wrong with this plank, do you want to pry it open and take a look?"
"Well, pry it open!"
After a brief conversation, the two bodyguards began to pry the floor, their fingers sticking through the cracks, causing the hot springs to panic.
The more nervous you are, the softer your body becomes, and the more your throat can't make a sound. She watched as the plank above her head was opened a crack, and she saw that the gap was getting bigger and bigger, and more and more sunlight was letting in.
The two bodyguards also saw the hot springs, and they were obviously very happy, and shouted in high-pitched language: "Boss, this woman is hiding here! Hey, she is holding Ding in her arms!"
The boss hurriedly walked over, his steps were fast, and after a few arrows, the person had arrived in front of the hot spring.
The enemies appeared in front of Onsen, and she saw their faces, which made Onsen's original anger overwhelm her mind again.
"Oh! I'll give it to you!"
Hot springs knew that they were in a catastrophe, and she didn't know where the strength came from, under the domination of a nameless fire in her heart, she held the Shending, and with a sudden attitude, she smashed the Ding in her arms to the cement floor under her feet!
Didn't these people want Ding? For Ding, he killed his father, and now they want to capture themselves alive!
Well, she smashed it, ruined it, and see what these people do!
The hot spring was deadly, the thrill of revenge spread from her head to the soles of her feet, and she looked at the fragmentation of the Ding Change, which had been guarded by the Wen family for generations, and the fragments rolled and rolled in the dusty dark grid, and finally turned into a pile of bleak wreckage!
The boss is obviously stunned by Onsen's behavior, and when he sees that the god has been destroyed, he yells 'ah', and then angrily pulls out his pistol and pulls the trigger on Onsen's head!
"Ahh
The imaginary gunfire didn't appear, the bullet was wrapped in white light, and everything seemed to stand still.
The hot spring could see the boss's wide open mouth, and the hideous face of the bodyguard, and the bullet floated in the air, and even her own hands and feet were imprisoned.
In the sight of the hot spring, the only one who was still moving was the Shending that was smashed by her.
The fragments of the tripod turned into green smoke, and the green smoke gradually gathered, and finally formed a human figure.
His figure transitions from transparent to translucent, and finally takes on the form of an entity.
He was white, white from head to toe.
His hair was long and silky, almost reaching his ankles, and he was dressed in a white robe, looking left and right at his white arms, then twisting his waist and making a grimace at the hot springs.
He looked at the hot springs and cracked his mouth and smiled. Finally, he snapped his fingers, and all of a sudden, the heavens and the earth immediately turned into darkness!
When the hot springs woke up again, she was already under the stars.
The white guy next to her told her, "Hello, hot spring, welcome to the world of mysterious creatures!"
