Volume 5: The Living Puppet Nation (29)
It's finally here - when Kong Ling pushed open the door of Shenzi Phantom Feng's house blankly, Lin Yingkong's first thought in his heart was this, but the approach to the "ending" did not make him breathe a sigh of relief, but made him more and more worried, he had already faintly been able to analyze that the space where they were located was connected by some kind of soul-fixing spell, which meant that Shenzi might not really be dead, but his soul was locked in "memory" after being seriously injured. In addition, no matter who made this formation, at least the fact that the Minister and the Divine Son were also water system naked spiritual powers was enough to make him extremely vigilant, and the strength of this special race was as famous as their cannibalism that could not tolerate two tigers.
What's even more tragic is that Feng Rong has an awkward relationship with him at this juncture...... Hmm, that's right, it's awkward, just like this, Lin Yingkong's shattered glass heart will not be abused into slag - their skills are not full, such a fuss, Lin Da's assistant suspects that the enemy has already collapsed internally before attacking the two of them, oh, this is a sad fact.
Since Lin Yingkong ran into Kong Ling's body, this is the first time he has come to the room of the god son, this conscientious god always stays on the shrine platform most of the time, and rarely enjoys some leisurely things under the same roof with Kong Ling, and does not need to save and help the common people, even if he loves Kong Ling in his heart - Assistant Lin feels that Kong Ling can endure for so many years is actually an inhuman belly, although he is not a human in the first place.
Shenzi's room was actually furnished exactly the same as that of the empty ring, there was a thin layer of green smoke rising from the smoker, and the refreshing cold fragrance swirled around, mixed with the moisture of the rain, when the empty door was not knocked and strode in, the man stood by the wide open window, side to the door, watching the continuous rain in the boundless night, he changed into a white regular dress that was completely different from the usual dress, so white that there was no trace of variegation, but the black hair was covered like brocade, as if dragging out a waterfall that was swaying by the wind, the well-defined side face was reflected by candlelight, warm and beautiful, Kong Ling involuntarily stopped his steps, full of sorrow and sorrow - such a god who pities all beings, why would anyone bear to hurt him?
"You know?" After a long silence, Miko opened his mouth first, not knowing whether it was because the wind was too cold on a rainy day or because the night was too late, and there was a trace of tiredness hidden in his voice.
Β¬ - All glory and all splendor are but illusory, and the truth after shattering is crueler than anything else.
"It doesn't matter if I know it or not, what matters is what you want to do, after hearing that news?" Or will you stick to your choice?
"What can I do?" Miko asked rhetorically, as if to say to himself, "they are my people, I have watched them be born, grow up, and grow old, and I have watched this kingdom turn from a village into a tribe, a city, a kingdom, and I have lived a long, long time, when you are not with me...... But from the beginning of chaos to the creation of human beings by Nuwa, I have always been a person, and it really makes me feel that I am in the country of puppets in my living days, there are you, there are human beings who live and work in peace and contentment, there are living puppets, and there are things that I can do, instead of meaninglessly sitting and watching the stars turn and move, the sun rises and the moon sets, as if I was born in heaven and earth, and I grew up in heaven and earth, but this world does not allow me......" He recalled the past and felt like a world away," Ah Ling, do you understand, it's not that I don't want to listen to you, but the Venerable Puppet Country is my root, and if it is destroyed, how can there be the existence of the Divine Son Phantom Feng?"
There was a touch of emotion in Kong Ling's eyes, but the emotion trembled like a knife in his eyes, he felt pain, but he kept his eyes open in vain, and even the tone was no different from before, "In the end, you still chose to live and die with your venerable country." β
Shenzi shook his head, "Ah Ling, it's yours too." β
"No, I'm yours, I have nothing but you," Kong Ling said the most emotional words in the coldest tone, the silent fierceness formed an invisible tension in the air, squeezing his body, he almost had difficulty speaking, "The puppet country is your root, but you are my root, the puppet country is to you, why not you are to me?" You are always like this, you can't leave your country, your country can't do without you, but I never thought about what I should do. β
- You can't do without the Puppet Country, so I protect this land for you, but when the Puppet Kingdom wants to hurt you, have you never considered my position from beginning to end?
Shenzi turned to face him, but the small window frame behind him framed the boundless sky, silently and heavily pressed on his straight figure, at this moment Phantom Feng is like the kind of god who came out of a distant legend, both affectionate and ruthless, both boundless love but also great love and selfless, Kong Ling sometimes hates him like this, as deep and heavy as his love!
- He is the selfish self he always has to give up first!
"Ah Ling......" Shenzi softly read his name, Kong Ling was still in front of him, but he seemed to have lost him, his eyes were soft and warm like the first rays of sunlight that he suddenly saw at dawn in the cold winter, but it seemed to be suppressing the pain caused by having to give up the flesh and blood in his life, his brows curled into deep marks, and his lips pursed involuntarily, he was a god, but he looked at the person he loved with such helpless eyes.
Kong Ling suddenly calmed down at this moment, the ripples of the heart lake were as still as stagnant water, no, this was not calm, but like a condemned prisoner who had already learned his fate, numbly listening to his sentence.
His indifference became the last straw, Miko's eyelids were bent violently, he closed his eyes heavily, and his voice was as thin as a gossamer: "I'm sorry." β
"There's nothing to be sorry for, I won't go against your wishes at any time. Kong Ling muttered, turned away with the same blank expression as when he came, and when he reached the door, there was a thunder in the sky, and the electric light tore through the night, he seemed to be frightened, and his body swayed slightly, but he quickly stood firm, and walked straight out, without looking back.
And the moment before he turned around, Lin Yingkong finally saw the signal that Feng Rong had given him-the Divine Son had cut his flesh to drive away the epidemic.
Lin Yingkong was stunned for a moment, it turned out that Shenzi opened the window wide and lit the smoker, just to hide the trace of rusty and sweet blood in the air.
β¦β¦
In the Venerable Doll Village, the crescent moon has sunk, the sky and the earth are dark, it is the heaviest moment of the night before dawn, the whole village is a dark dead silence, and then at a certain moment, a certain place, the cyan light suddenly rises into the sky.
In the area shrouded by the dazzling light, when the light gradually stabilized, Di Bingqiao slowly withdrew her spiritual power, she is not good at combat power, but after all, she is a thousand-year-old tree demon, and her spiritual power foundation is still not thin, but I don't know if it is because of the blue light, her face at this time is also iron-blue, and she covered her face and groaned: "Eight hours...... This group of puppets actually dragged us for eight hours, and we will follow Rongzi to do volunteer labor for three weeks!"
After the formation was completed, Fei Rong sat down on the steps casually, and said with a sad face: "I will be doubled ......" She could imagine what kind of serious expression the minister would look at her with a serious expression of "what stupid thing are you stupid doing", oh no, she will have nightmares!
It's not that a few members of the field service team of the General Office really can't do anything after leaving Feng Rong and Lin Yingkong, it's just that at midnight, they are about to drive all the villagers of Zun Puppet Village into Kong Ling's house, E Jingbai and they are all stepping on a corner of the formation and ready to go, who knows that Kong Ling's house coldly opened a large array to protect the house, and the ancient power erupted out, and the formation they intended to trap the villagers was both offset and ended up, all the efforts they had done before were in vain, and those villagers were also like the pumpkin magic that expired after twelve o'clock, the body was organized, the guns and arrows flew to the poisonous knife, the rainstorm pear flower needle, what viciousness, they almost blasted the six of them into scum with an endless stream of exquisite mechanisms!
In the end, as a last resort, Zhu Mengtian and the others could only break the hands and feet of these puppets, and only after putting them down did they restart the formation smoothly, and the big guys were so tired that they didn't have the strength to babble and be anxious before.
Ding Youlan guarded the luggage they rescued before, he had no combat power, he almost disassembled the combat power of the switch, and his hands were trembling when he even held the handheld computer at this time, and Di Bingqiao directly slapped a plaster on it, and he didn't know what the plaster was made of, so he gasped, and said after a long time: "Do we go to the minister and Assistant Lin first or find Erbo first?"
"The words of the minister and assistant Lin...... I think they're probably on the shrine. Derpy said, he felt that at least Feng Rong acted alone, which might be related to the god's chattering empty hearing.
"I second. Zhu Mengtian directly cleared a clearing of land with an earth-based spell on the ground, and lay lazily like this, and his words were stingy with one more word.
"But if we don't go to Erbo, he may be secretly waiting to sneak attack us, why don't you take the initiative?" Di Bingqiao said, while kicking and wishing Meng Tian to get up and check on her, the mechanisms on these puppets are not worse than those trap insects and beasts, they are still very lethal, everyone has more or less minor injuries, "Or are the soldiers divided into two ways?"
Fei Rong muttered: "I always feel that at this time, there will be another batch of missing people when the soldiers are divided into two ways......"
"......" E Jingbai zombified his arm, and the bleeding area immediately hardened and scarred, and he said: "Don't care about the order, search the village together, and count one if you can find one." β
He looked at Zhu Mengtian, who nodded, "Okay, rest in place for twenty minutes, and then act, Xiaolan, you choose the best road map." β
An hour later, Daystar began to climb into the sky, and they also swept the village of Venerable Dolls, and found nothing special.
"Only Fengshentai is left and you haven't go?" Standing in front of the path, Zhu Mengtian asked.
"Hmm," Ding Youlan ticked the last dot on the electronically drawn map, and moved his chin back and forth, "The other places have been eliminated from the threat, unless they leave the Venerable Village, otherwise they can only be on the Fengshen Terrace." β
"Then let's go," E Jingbai motioned for everyone to check their equipment one last time, "The minister said that there are attack formations on this road, be careful, don't fall behind." β
Because Feng Rong and Lin Yingkong were attacked when they came here, the members of the field service team of the General Office were very careful, but what made them say whether they should breathe a sigh of relief was that the road was quite calm, or was there any aftermath waiting for them?
So, when they saw Erbo standing in the open space in front of the Fengshen platform, they all had a feeling of "it was really so".
But Erbo didn't pay attention to them, he just stood quietly facing the shrine, as if waiting for something, but his back seemed very lonely, and that loneliness seemed to be about to force him into a corner, he couldn't help but stiffen his body, vicissitudes of life and tiredness, and people were very sad to see.
Zhu Mengtian and E Jingbai exchanged a look, and then Zhu Mengtian coughed dryly, took a step towards Erbo's position, and said loudly: "Who is that ......?"
Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a huge explosion, everyone was stunned, Erbo suddenly raised his head to look at the place where the explosion came from, and involuntarily walked forward, but was quickly dragged by E Jingbai's hand, but E Jingbai was also shocked at this time, staring at the Fengshen platform in front of him with wide eyes, watching it crack into tens of millions of pieces under everyone's horrified gaze, and slowly collapse in the smoke and dust.
ββThis temple, which has stood for thousands of years, ended its life's mission in the moment of light.
