126. Under the Dust

Blue stood on the corridor of the temple, and the white light that fell from the window was dim, casting a shadow on his face, like the history in the soul of every Skebian inhabitant, and once recalled, it was as if he had stepped through this corridor, and countless specimens of dust were raised like weary birds, and then let out a terrible cry that made the heart of any citizen of heaven suffocate.

"Mi Xing is the biggest sinner in Skebia, he stole the water spirit bead between the four spirit beads in the engine of Sky City, and then relied on his divine will to open the box where the god imprisoned nightmares. That's how the people on the ground call this incident, and even most of the inhabitants of Sky City affirm that this is God's punishment for some people's dissatisfaction. But I know that this is a man-made disaster, because ......"

Blue's eyes fell on the man in the front, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and he was actually very proud when he spoke: "There has never been a god above our heads, fate is not a god, it will not disappear but will be changed, all beings are not gods, because the power is too weak and life is short, the elements are not gods, they are just particles that exist simply in the world." But there is a thing, which is composed of particles and the concept of beings, which is so powerful that it has a long life, so that it can control our destiny, and why can it be regarded as a god?"

Blue looked at Lin Ziyue, as if he was speaking to her, and as if his gaze penetrated her, looking at something more distant and unreachable: "For people on the ground, we used to be very similar to the concept of 'god', but we know very well that we are not, so we will not be." That's the difference between the two horns and you. ”

"I am not a god, and I will not be. Lin Ziyue's words were very light, but they seemed to be loud.

Blue withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, and pointed to the man in the front, whose face was clean and not bearded like many of the scholars he had seen before, and his eyebrows were handsome and square, but a scar across his right eye ruined the beauty, but mixed the bookish air with a fierce blood.

"He single-handedly set up a backup plan, drained the souls of some of the inhabitants of Skaebia, the most brilliant ones, and he borrowed some of the techniques left by the 'gods', but they were not perfect, and they could only make such a monster. We did keep some of the spark for Scabia, though, and Scabia was quickly filled with cursed creatures, and because of his foresight, we didn't get completely lost in our nightmares......"

Lin Ziyue noticed that Blue's fingertips were trembling, and there was a strange emotion in his words that he couldn't suppress: "Blue, do you know that person?"

After a while, Blue lowered his head: "That person...... That's me. ”

"It can be said that I was a long time ago, and I am the same person as me now, I can't say, because the memory of my body is that of an ordinary boy born on a ship and soaring in the sea and the world, so I am Blue, not the royal cult who was once admired by thousands of people, but declined due to sectarian disputes caused by the split of the Divine Horn. Mi Xing is my disciple, his talent and imaginative instinct have made him a new generation of Huagong scholars, Mi Ying is the most promising girl to become the next divine envoy and the second divine envoy, her outstanding interpretation ability and sensibility and prestige have made her already have the title of 'virtuous immortal' at the age of fourteen, and even the divine horn has ordered her to give her permission to take away the divine decree, they are originally my pride. ”

Blue raised his head, his eyes calm and warm: "Actually...... Now they are, and still are. ”

Lin Ziyue was also surprised, she didn't expect that hidden under the disguise of that enthusiastic smile would be such a noble person, even if he said that he had declined, but his identity was still the royal teacher, the royal teacher of the sky city! He even taught a student like Mi Xing who can build a drifting city with water spirit beads alone, and his knowledge and ability are unfathomable, it is hard to imagine what a maverick and amazing person he is, not to mention that monster gathers all the souls into a whole, combs all the wills into a commonality, and finally creates such a symbiote......

"You're really amazing. Meng Li's praise came from the bottom of his heart.

"I'm not going to thank you, I'm already amazing. But I am very sorry for the volunteers who joined my experiment, they are really amazing people, but I failed to live up to their trust, and they finally chose to give up on me and turn to ......"

Speaking of this, Blue turned his head to look at Lin Ziyue, but his eyes were still fanatical: "More suitable people, not more correct people." ”

Lin Ziyue frowned, and Blue's gaze made her very uncomfortable: "No, I just did what I wanted to do, I can help them with just a few hands, what's not to do?"

"We have been abandoned by the horns of God, realizing that we are being used and can only decay here...... Then in this desperate darkness, I saw you, and saw you standing up in the bow of the ship and showing your strength, so I wanted to use the clones of you and Meng Li to create a new city lord and the captain of the Sky City Guard, but I didn't expect that you still had the power in you that could not be copied by this enchantment, let alone your soul...... At the same time, it has the divine power of two god horns. Maybe I wasn't good at looking at people from the beginning! I didn't know how to examine the situation, so my life didn't go well, and my two apprentices became like that. ”

Blue shook his head, this time he had really left the statue, and before turning he rubbed the face of his own statue, and when his hand was removed, there was only a collapsed splinter, and the face could no longer be seen. Blue's footsteps are steady, but slow, and he seems to be full of nostalgia.

His fingers were covered with dust, like time that had passed and glory that had gone.

Although the corridor is very long, it is all pushed and broken stones, and each base is empty, as if he hated the original sculptures and deliberately destroyed all the sculptures in this area.

"There used to be a sacred book on display here, and of course, it was me, or the subject, who smashed it together, because everyone was angry. Blue's words passed through the corridor, and his voice was obviously weightless, but Lin Ziyue felt that his words had wiped a lot of dust from those sculptures, and even the corridor became brighter.

"The canon was originally a textbook, but when the royal family believed too much in everything about it, it was over-interpreted and became an invisible shackle on everyone's shoulders. I took a lot of effort to teach the Divine Code of the Stars and the Divine Code of the Divine Flame that could not be trusted, because everything in the world could only change if it changed, and the Divine Code was only a template for the original Divine Horn. ”

"When I get out of here, I want to stay with you for a while. Blue turned sideways and looked at Lin Ziyue until she nodded slightly, and then he continued: "I hope to rewrite the canon as it is, I hope you can take a look at it, and then leave a legacy of that civilization to this world." ”

Lin Ziyue did not directly admit to this matter: "I don't know your language. ”

Blue stopped in front of a door, and on a blackboard next to the door, he drew a horizontal "8" with his hand, which is an infinite symbol, he didn't look at Lin Ziyue, but he replied: "This is the most wonderful thing about the canon, the original canon only has the book in the palace, and that book only has the form and no words." It's ironic to say that the palace's reference to the canon is a book that circulates outside, and I saw the world we live in in the canon, saw the story of this world, and knew that there was a broader and distant other side of the world. That's why I hate the palace's act of sealing the sacred texts and interpreting ourselves even more, because the Sky City locks us up, and we can't leave here, and we lose the freedom to explore other worlds, and I hate those two gods very much when I think about it. ”

Meng Li felt very ridiculous: "You can leave on your own, why do you have to obey the orders of the Divine Horn? What's more, they are not here all the year round, what are you afraid of?"

"When the people of Sky City are banished, they will be cut off from the spiritual source in their bodies, otherwise if they leave Sky City for too long, this unique spiritual source of the divine realm will wither, I don't know how to describe that feeling, it's like ...... Like a fish that has lost its water, its strength is exhausted, its blood is dry, its vitality is wilting and dissipating, and it is a day and night that it feels like it is rotting, but it is difficult for us to die. The lives of the people of the heavens are extraordinarily long, and without the nourishment of the sky city, we can still live for a long time, and there are few forces that can cause our direct death, and time does not work. ”

Qian Qiu shuddered: "Then you are half dead?"

"They will still die, but they will be as stiff as wood and stone, they can't do anything or even breathe, and the process of dying is extremely slow, and many people's spiritual source withers and the result is not death, because they can always be found before they die, but they tend to go crazy after being revived...... Then turn into a demon. ”

Lin Ziyue seemed to have touched the relationship between the God Realm and the Demon Realm, just like an upside-down island in this enchantment...... Mirror-like relationships. "You're going to become monsters who have lost your mind, aren't you the kind of thing that is full of black gas, killing like crazy, devouring and then assimilating everything around you?"

Blue didn't speak, nodded, and led the three into a large room. The marble floor of the room was littered with debris, and Blue's face instantly turned cold, he knew that symbiotes would never do such a thing, and acts with a violent factor would always be strongly resisted by the will of the group, so who broke this screen?

Blue's throat stirred, "Return to God...... That's what it meant. ”

"Has anyone been here?" Meng Li looked at the fragments on the ground, and felt that there were no residual fluctuations on them, it looked like they had decomposed by themselves as a result of disrepair, and there was not even any trace of violent destruction, and he couldn't feel any elemental changes.

Lin Ziyue remembered her guess about the return to God and didn't speak. Blue walked over to the original screen and reached out in the air, a faint light lit up in front of him, and a white triangular shelf hanging upside down appeared in the air, and Blue's hand tapped twice on it, making a sound as pleasant as a triangle.

Then the dazzling white light suddenly lit up, and a familiar sense of weightlessness came, and when Lin Ziyue and the others opened their eyes again, they found that they were already standing on the small fishing boat, but Blue still held the tripod in his hand, and the light on the shelf dimmed, it looked like an iron-gray triangular frame, and Blue removed the three sticks and received them in his arms.

"We're leaving?" Qian Qiu was still unsatisfied: "No treasures, no beauties! No spirit stones, spirit mines, what kind of adventure is this! What am I here for? Why are you still so calm!"

Blue pointed to his arms: "Everything is here, if you dare to come and take it, I will fight with you." ”

Qian Qiu's face turned red with frustration: "I'm that kind of person! I look like a thief who seeks money and kills! Lao Tzu can kill you with money! I'm unwilling! Sister Lin almost hung up! I almost broke up myself! You'll tell a bunch of stories and it's over! It's all old scum! What kind of hell benefit can it bring me! Brother Meng Li! You don't plan to kill him now, you should always beat him up to get angry!"

Meng Li glanced at Qian Qiu impatiently: "There is no need to become a mortal enemy when the position is changed, there is no need to become a mortal enemy, not to mention that he has surrendered a long time ago, and it can even be said that he has surrendered to the glory of the 'Moon God', so why should I hit him? Doesn't my hand hurt?"

"How can this be! He almost killed us! Get such a bunch of replicants to beat you! Why aren't you angry at all now! This guy surrendered without paying anything! How can this be true! He didn't hand over anything, obviously he just wanted to take it to himself! How could such a brilliant civilized city have no savings at all! Don't you two want to see it!"

"Alright, Qianqiu. Lin Ziyue's voice sounded, which made the little fat man instantly silenced.

Qian Qiu glared at Blue hatefully, and then sat down on the boat, these nonsense and cruel words are not actually what he really wants, but these days he has suffered too much and encountered too many things that subvert Qian Qiu's world view, so he can't digest it, at this time, it is better to find an outlet for his uncomfortable grievances, and he doesn't want to suffocate himself.

Meng Li sat on the edge of Lin Ziyue, signaling her not to move, putting his finger on her eyebrows to check her soul condition again, Lin Ziyue closed her eyes and looked tired.

Soon when Meng Li removed his fingers, his face became not very good-looking: "You'd better really rest for a while, you consumed a lot last time when the Ahimi volcano was about to erupt, and now I can't say for sure...... I always felt as if there was another force that was pounding on your soul. ”

"I'm fine. Lin Ziyue still closed her eyes and leaned slightly against the side of the boat: "It's really okay, let me rest for a while, a sword." ”

Although having said that, only Lin Ziyue herself knew that the white enchantment in her body and the power of the black blood were of the same origin, although it was very close to the power left by C, but it was very different, as if it were two extremes, she could still feel that the black moon scepter could appear in her hand at any time, causing her emotional riot.

Lin Ziyue closed her eyes tightly, not to rest, but to cover up all kinds of negative emotions that she couldn't suppress in her eyes, she couldn't let Qian Qiu see it, she didn't want Blue to see it, she didn't want Meng Li to see it, the three attitudes towards the three people on the boat were different, but in the final analysis, Lin Ziyue was extremely resistant to the out-of-control self.

Meng Li didn't speak, just quietly watched the boat move forward, glancing at the man holding the boat from time to time, Blue stood at the bow of the boat, just as when they came, the boat quietly broke the waves, and only the sound of the waves rose and fell in his ears.

The fisherman's face was gone, his back was straight, his lips pursed, and his eyes would smile when he swept over Lin Ziyue, but at other times it was as deep as the night sky without stars and moons, and it was clear that Blue's figure was not broad, but it was like a mountain peak standing on the sea, looking up at the sky.

An extremely lonely lonely peak.

But the dust that fell on his shoulders was blown away by the sea breeze, and scattered into the heavens and the earth.
