Chapter 17: The Soul Eater

"Brother Bitter, Brother Bitter!" a pleasant call slowly awakened the consciousness of He Ku.

"It's still a sweet sister!" He Ku muttered casually, and after waking up, memories came flooding back, and the sharp pain in his back reminded him of himself and Xin'er being slapped off the cliff by the giant spirit ape.

"I'm still alive, it's a blessing. "He was surprised that he jumped off the cliff twice without spiritual power and was still alive and well. Although it is indeed a hard journey, it is fortunate that he is still alive, and as long as he lives, there is still hope for everything.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful face on his face, and every inch of his skin was as flawless as a carved jade.

"Brother Ku, you're finally awake!" Seeing He Ku open his eyes, Xin'er's voice was relieved, but she asked eagerly, "Are you okay?" ”

Xin'er is lying on He Ku at the moment, the two bodies are close to each other, He Ku's hands are still on the slender waist that Ying Ying holds, and when he speaks, he seems to be able to feel the other party's snort, with a little girlish fragrance.

Such a close distance, and such an ambiguous posture. Between the four eyes, He Ku couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "No...... It's okay, Xin'er, you're okay. ”

seemed to notice the burning heat in He Ku's eyes, Xin'er's eyes hurriedly dodged, and her pretty face was slightly red: "I'm fine, thanks to Brother Ku for always protecting me." ”

Between the two, the atmosphere was charming, Xin'er looked very good with a flush on her face, why bother to keep staring at it with a cheeky face, and she was a little distracted.

"Little brother, little girl, can you get up, you have been lying here for half an hour, don't stop me from doing business!" A voice broke the silence of He Kuxin'er and the two, why didn't care about the sharp pain caused by the wound on his back, and hurriedly got up.

The voice was made by a thin middle-aged man, who looked no more than forty or fifty years old, but there were signs of lack of vitality. There are still many people watching the excitement next to them, He Ku and Xin'er are just surrounded in the crowd, and there are people talking and whispering with the people next to them, pointing and pointing, and laughter is heard from time to time.

"This should be the young lady of a famous family, look how beautiful this looks!"

"But this young man is too bohemian, why is he sleeping here?"

"I heard that they appeared out of thin air, this can't be a god in the sky!"

"Nonsense, there is no god other than the Soul Eater. Besides, if you look at them like this, that is, fifteen or sixteen years old, you must know that our old priests are all over eighty years old, and they have not yet become gods!"

......

Seeing that everyone around him was talking, why did he react at this time, the two of them were not in some wilderness at the moment, but in a city. To be more specific, the two stayed in such an ambiguous posture for half an hour in front of an old man's stall on the noisy street.

Thinking of this, even if he is thick-skinned, he can't hang it at the moment, not to mention that he is just a teenager who has not experienced the world, and his face is still very thin, especially with a more simple and innocent girl Xin'er.

Speaking of Xin'er, she was hiding behind He Ku at the moment, burying her head in her head, like a frightened deer, and her little hands were nervously pulling the corners of He Ku's clothes.

"What should I do, what should I do!" Thinking of the posture just now, Xin'er was already red from her cheeks to the roots of her ears, and even her ears were a little red, "and so close in front of so many people." ”

She didn't pay attention to where she and He Ku had arrived, she only remembered that she was held in her arms, and the two of them were swept off the cliff by the turbulence, and then after a dizziness, they came here.

Xin'er didn't care about what was around her, she didn't care what position she and He Ku was, she was anxiously investigating He Ku's state and calling him. After all, He Ku is guarding her with his life, even if He Ku has no spiritual power, he still firmly protects himself, blocking in front of her, at that moment her heart seems to have been caught by someone, and there is a trace of throbbing that she has never experienced.

The girl, who had never been in contact with other men, was even more flustered at this time, feeling that her heart was beating unusually fast, and there was a strange feeling in her heart, and there was also a little ...... Joy.

He Ku has never seen such a scene, he is a big young master in the He family, and he can't say a word to his family, how can he cope with such embarrassment.

But there is a frightened Xin'er behind her, and she must be in front of her.

"Uncle, I'm really sorry. "Why is the wound still painful in his back, but this is obviously not the time to deal with the wound, first to find out what is going on around here, "Uncle, have we been lying here for half an hour?

"Little brother, I came early in the morning and saw you lying here. The middle-aged man was busy with the work in his hands, and at the same time he was talking to He Ku, "Seeing that your clothes are torn, you must have drunk and fought with someone last night, and you slept here after drinking too much." Supposedly, this girl is gorgeously dressed, and you must all be the children of a big family, so how can you let a girl sleep on the street with you? ”

Although this old man's guess was completely wrong, why bother to say that he flew down from the cliff and then slept here in a daze, as long as he said: "The old man is really powerful, and what he said is exactly right." We came from elsewhere and didn't know much about the situation here, so we went to the tavern for a few drinks. As a result, I quarreled with others, and I moved my hands while arguing, but my strength was not good, and I was injured a little, so I fell into the street. My sister was afraid that I would drink alone and behave nonsense, so she kept watch over me all night. ”

"Young man, it's normal to be angry, but as long as you're not the one who provokes the temple, it's harmless. The thin middle-aged man smiled, "Who hasn't been young and vigorous?" ”

"Temple?"

The middle-aged man was also a little surprised: "Why? Haven't you even heard of the Divine Temple? In our Soul Devouring Realm, this Divine Temple is known to everyone." ”

"Our family has lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests for generations, and it is also our two juniors who have only come out of the mountain now, and we have not heard of the prestige of this temple, so it is better for the old man to explain it in detail. "Why bother to say a reason.

"It's okay, there's no business anyway, and it's a good idea to talk to you young man. The middle-aged man also seems to be interested.

"Please also ask the old man to explain his doubts. He bowed.

"This city is called Moon Sky City, you look around here, everyone is ordinary people. But in this temple, it's unusual, there are priests in the temple, and there are even more powerful priests, they can mobilize divine power. In our Soul Devouring Realm, we respect the Soul Devouring God, and the temple is a place to worship the Soul Devouring God, and the power invoked by these priests and priests can all come from the Soul Devouring God. The middle-aged man explained.

"This Soul Eater is so powerful, where is it sacred?" He bothered to ask.

"The Soul Eater is a legendary godman, and there are statues of him in temples all over the world for the world to see, but the real statue of the Soul Eater God is in the temple of the Soul Eater Temple, and I heard that only when you reach the power of the priest can you go to worship it, and you can also get the power given by the Spirit Eater God. The middle-aged man's face showed a look of yearning, "I heard that the Spirit Devouring God can go up to the heavens and enter the earth, and he can do anything." ”

"Wouldn't everyone want to become a priest and be able to borrow the power of the Soul Eater? "Why bother.

"It's not easy to enter the temple, I heard that all the priests and priests need the help of the high priest to borrow the power of the Spirit Devourer. Moreover, everyone who wants to enter the temple needs to sacrifice a maiden under eighteen, and it must also be a virgin, and I heard that it will be sacrificed to the Soul Eater. ”

Hearing this, He Ku's expression changed slightly, and Xin'er behind him felt even more ridiculous when he heard this.

Xin'er suddenly seemed to remember something, and leaned into He Ku's ear and said a word, and after He Ku listened to it, he seemed to suddenly realize, as if he understood the current problems in this soul devouring world.

However, he didn't show it, but continued to ask the middle-aged man: "Uncle, who is the strongest person in the temple?"

"Of course, it's the High Priest, over the years, thanks to the communication between the High Priest and the Soul Eater, more and more people can join the temple, and the High Priest is also the most admired existence besides the Spirit Eater. The middle-aged man also looked admiring when he talked about the high priest.

"And how strong is this high priest?"

The middle-aged man was very patient with He Ku, as if he wanted to spread the belief of the Spirit Eater God to him, so that he could also feel the greatness of the Spirit Eater God and the High Priest: "The High Priest is a strong man who can open up mountains and lands, compared to ordinary priests and priests, he is not a little bit stronger, but even ordinary priests and priests are not something ordinary people like me can provoke." ”

"I don't know which direction the temple of this moon city is, and where is the temple of devouring souls?"

"The Moonsky City Temple is in the middle of the city, only a few miles away. As for the Temple of Soul Eater, it was the place guarded by the High Priest, and in the middle of the Temple City, I heard that ordinary people couldn't enter it at all. Temple City is in the north of MoonSky City, and it usually takes two days to get there. The middle-aged man looked at Xin'er behind He Ku again, who was still holding the corner of He Ku's clothes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I've been taught, thank you, uncle!" He bowed again, and then turned around and left with Xin'er.

Seeing why he left, the middle-aged man couldn't help but shake his head, and said secretly in his heart: "It's a pity not to harm this little girl again." "I think he thought he was going to the temple to offer the maiden.

He Ku took Xin'er around again, and asked others about the temple, everyone looked at him differently, some were jealous and envious, and some were resentful, and they all seemed to regard him as the person who was going to the temple to sacrifice the girl behind him.

Especially Xin'er's shocking face, although it is budding and childish, it is still beautiful and moving, which makes people even more angry.

He didn't care about the opinions of these people all the way, and the news he got about the temple was much the same, and what he was thinking about at the moment was what Xin'er had said in his ear before.

"Brother Ku, there is no spiritual energy in this world, and these people have no spiritual power to cultivate......"
