Chapter 346: So Pitiful
In the Flowing Moon Temple, the white-haired old man is kneeling in front of the astrolabe, deducing the changes in the future on this continent. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A white-clothed moon envoy quietly walked from outside the hall and sat quietly under the astrolabe.
The old man frowned, as if he had encountered something tricky, and he couldn't find a solution for a long time.
"What's the matter, say. His eyes were still fixed on the astrolabe.
The moon envoy said softly: "There is news from the imperial capital that the great master has fallen from the stargazing tower and has died. ”
The old man was stunned, and the star stone he was holding in his hand had not landed on the astrolabe for a long time.
The wind blowing outside the hall carried the blue of the autumn sky, and the waves on the shore beat against the white sand beach as usual.
The old man sighed, "Don't tell the high priest about this yet." ”
"Yes. The Moon Envoy nodded.
The old man rubbed his eyebrows, "Invite the old man of Huangshi." ”
Pity the child.
Now that she has laid the game, the rest is up to them, the old bones, to go down for her.
The imperial capital, the night is deep, and the moonlight is light.
In a small, abandoned courtyard not far from the Star Gazing Bureau, a young woman walks lightly in a courtyard full of vines and plants that are untended.
She stopped in front of a damp stone wall crawling with green vines.
Peel back the heavy foliage that hangs from it, revealing a dark hole.
The woman walked into the cave and descended the steps until it was at the end, where she stopped, took a deep breath, and pushed open the stone door.
It was an underground stone chamber, and the oil lamps hanging from the walls danced a dim glow.
The stone chamber is damp and rudimentary, with only one stone bed in the middle of the chamber.
The young woman's gaze carefully avoided the person lying on the stone bed, and landed on the woman standing in front of the stone bed.
"High priest, everything is arranged. She whispered, as if she were afraid to frighten the woman in the stone chamber.
The woman who was called the High Priest had a moon-white veil covering her eyes, and even if she couldn't see her eyes, she could feel that her gaze was quietly looking at the person lying on the stone bed.
Hearing the maid's voice, she hummed casually, hooked the corners of her mouth, and her voice could be described as gentle.
"Come and see, I don't look like her. ”
The maid's mind buzzed, and she stiffened her neck and reluctantly glanced at the stone bed, and replied tremblingly, "Yes...... It's not quite like ......."
Lying on the stone bed was the body of a woman.
The white clothes were soaked with blood, and under the oil lamp, they showed more and more dry and stiff dead air.
Her bones were shattered, except for a plain white face, quiet and holy, spotless.
The eyes are quietly closed, as if they are just asleep, and they will soon wake up.
Even though her face was so quiet, the maid still felt intimidating, because the injuries on her body were terrible.
This is a dead man, the national teacher of the Yi Dynasty, the woman who jumped from the star-picking tower.
She had no idea what the high priest was doing.
That night, I suddenly woke up and said that the sky was going to change. took her all the way from the Dragon Prison to the imperial capital.
What are you going to do in the imperial capital? The Wu clan belongs to that rainforest after all.
Although she was puzzled, the maid didn't ask anything. When it comes to faith, the high priest is her faith, more true and more religious than God.
On the two days of the imperial capital, the high priest said, "Don't hurry, and wait."
Then he waited for the national teacher of the Yi Dynasty to jump down from the stargazing tower, a major event that shocked the entire empire.
It was a beautiful day, and they sat in the vines in the courtyard, basking in the sun.
Then the high priest suddenly raised his head, tied his gauze eyes, and looked at the stargazing tower.
The stargazing tower of the Star Observation Department is a very high building, and I heard that the moon is as clear as water at night, standing on it, you can pick the stars with your hands.
Such a tall building, no matter where you are in the imperial capital, you can see it.
The closer they were, the more distinct they became.
A white figure jumped from the top of the building.
The weather was really nice that day.
Blue sky, cloudless.
The woman who fell was like a plain white paulownia flower, fluttering in the wind and falling to the ground.
The maid seemed to feel it, and the ground trembled slightly as she fell.
Then soon, I heard the noise outside, mixed with sad crying, and then I knew that it was the great master of the Yi Dynasty, who jumped down from the building.
The people in this imperial capital are so strange, even the national teacher jumped off the building, which is really strange.
She was about to laugh with the priest, but when she turned her head, she saw that the priest was sitting in the sun, and his whole body was cold.
The sun was shining, but she seemed to be unconscious, like a large shadow enveloping her.
Later, they sneaked into the Stargazing Department and stole the body of the national teacher. Of course, made a fake one, and put it there exactly the same.
The maid didn't understand what the national teacher of the Yi Dynasty had to do with the high priest.
Why steal her body.
It's like she doesn't know why the priest asks her now, and the two don't look alike.
But it didn't matter if she couldn't guess what the priest was thinking, she often couldn't.
Just when she thought that the conversation would end like this, she heard the next words of the high priest.
"yes, people often say no. Obviously, we were born as compatriots, but I was only a quarter of an hour later than her, and she pressed me for the rest of my life. ”
The maid's eyes widened slowly. Born of compatriots??
…… Lord Priest, and the national teacher of this Shining Dynasty??
The priest, not a member of the Wu clan?
But the woman in the white gauze spoke to her no more.
Or, what I said just now was not to say to her, but more like capturing some kind of memory from a long time ago, talking to myself.
She stood quietly in front of the stone bed, her fingers slowly and accurately running over the pale face of the stone bed woman, even though her eyes were blindfolded.
"Look at you, how pitiful you are now, lying here, motionless, how pitiful......" she whispered.
"Jiang Xiran, is this your way? You are so stupid, you said that you can give up a lot of things, it turns out that it is true, it turns out that even your life can be sacrificed. ”
"Is it worth it for you to die like this, for those stupid people who don't understand your painstaking efforts?"
"You're so stupid, there's no one more stupid than you in this world......"
The priest of the Wu clan laughed as he spoke, "Jiang Xiran, you are so stupid!"
Two lines of bloody tears permeated the white gauze and flowed down her eyes.
The maid was startled and fell to her knees tremblingly, "Lord Priest!"
The priest of the witch clan stopped laughing, and the two lines of blood and tears on his face were particularly shocking to look at in the light of the oil lamp.
She asked, "Do you think she's dead?"
Naturally, it was the woman on the stone bed who asked.
The maid shuddered and looked at the stone bed again.
Dead, dead through.
Blood dried on her white coat, and there was nothing left on her body except her face.
She nodded. Later, it occurred to me that the priest could not see it, so he hurriedly said, "Dead." ”
The high priest asked, "Do you think she will ever come back to life?"
The maid was stunned. (To be continued.) )
