Chapter Seventy-Three: The Soul Umbrella
The ancient artifact spirit umbrella, the soul folds the ingot.
The umbrella body was covered with yin consciousness again, and it came at us, the umbrella bone rotated, pulled out, and the red rope bell hanging on it began to ring, and the bells rang in the air, and as the umbrella moved, it hit in our direction, and Su Yuan covered my ears.
But the slightest bell sounded in my ears, I was already injured and lost blood, at this moment I was even more dizzy, in my mind was the scene of constant fighting, as if the two races were fighting, and it seemed to be the scene of the catastrophe, moving at the same time, it was a tragedy, encountering the catastrophe, it was undoubtedly certain death, and the senseless resistance and struggle was just the last trace of dignity and faith of their race in the battle.
There is no doubt that the army was wiped out.
This tribe and village called the Umbrella Spirit Clan, up to the elders and patriarchs, to children, women, children, the old and weak, and other people who have no ability to resist, all perished, and the Umbrella Spirit Clan has since perished and become extinct in this world.
The ancient god gathered the will of the Umbrella Spirit Clan and ordered them to swear to protect the artifact to the death, and never fall into the hands of others, but his fall led to the extinction of a group of Umbrella Spirit Clan.
At the beginning, there were three gods of the ancients, one was the emperor of today, the other was the god of the Gathering Spirit Umbrella, and one was still in the Outer Heaven realm, which has not fallen for thousands of years.
But today's scene seems to have opened a seal of the blockade in my heart, and a steady stream of memories poured into my heart, until I thought of it, and deeply engraved the scene in front of me, which I seem to have experienced.
But the original memories, apart from these, are like a fault clip, and only a small fragment remains. What's even more tragic is that I was caught up in their memories, unable to extricate myself, and even unable to break free from the whirlpool of memories.
Su Yuan could only put me, who was unconscious and fell into the memory of the wandering spirits, on the carriage, and ordered Deyin to escape with me, and he was left alone to deal with the wandering spirits and the divine umbrella.
Where the memory began, it was the blood of countless people flowing into rivers and corpses piling up, and I, standing in the depths of my memory, could only follow the direction they wanted to take me, and follow suit.
This is a village, on a high mountain, next to a cliff, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and a place in an advantageous location, but after they died, the fire suddenly broke out, and it took three days and three nights to burn down the village where they lived.
Where the bones were piled up, after they were burned, all that was left was a pile of white powder, no one collected the corpses, and they were reduced to ashes after death, and the price they paid was so great that I wondered what was wrong. The Emperor of Heaven could bear to be so ruthless that even the mortals who were unable to resist the Heavenly Tribulation could do it.
Then the picture turns, and it is the scene of their lifetime, living and working in peace and contentment, and the isolated village seems to be full of life and meaning on the top of this mountain.
Every man and woman weave, self-sufficient family, so unhappy, I walked in front of every house in the village, they were happy and did not know what was going on, and then what came to them was a cruel and inhumane natural and man-made disaster.
A village woman from a family, very hospitable, saw me passing by her door, stopped, held a big belly, walked out of the courtyard, smiled and invited me in, made tea and poured water, very welcome.
In the past, they couldn't see my existence at all, let alone invite me into the house for tea, and today's memories are so strange that I haven't understood them.
The village woman sitting in the chair opposite me asked me where I came from and where I came from.
"The girl is very raw, I wonder if she came to our village from out of town?"
Indeed, when she woke up, she was in this village, and she was unfamiliar with the place, and the little woman could not find a way out, so she had to stop in front of her sister-in-law's door, and the sister-in-law was hospitable, and the little woman did not know what to say. ”
"The girl doesn't have to be polite, why are you in this village, isolated from the world, others want to come in, since the girl came to this village today, it is a great relationship, and I am not afraid to find a way out, the girl and tell one or two, when I take you out, who is the surname?"
"Chu Yu, sister-in-law, you don't have to be too polite, don't you take it, I will go out by then, you have a lot of inconvenience, it's better to rest more. ”
"I didn't know at first, why our village naturally has its own rules, but all visitors from the outside world are asked to be personally invited out by our village, and to ensure the safety of the exit of our village. ”
"I see, I'm tired of my sister-in-law, my sister-in-law's body looks like she is about to be born, right?"
"Well, it's been the past few days, it's not easy to conceive in October, and the child in my womb must have been born with the blessing of a whole village. ”
It was originally the people of the umbrella spirit clan who would give birth to a baby for many years, and the birth child in the womb of this village woman was a child born for the first time in a hundred years, not only with the parents' wings, but also to be blessed by the whole village, on the day of birth, the elders and elders will be present in person to carry out the blessing ceremony.
It will be a happy day for the whole village, and the whole village will celebrate for three days and three nights, just like the joy of the autumn harvest.
I had foreseen the outcome and had something in mind, but I didn't know how to dissuade them from moving out of here as soon as possible.
She crossed the table, took my hand, and asked me to reach out and touch the unborn child in her womb, so that I could bless the child in her womb.
Reaching out and touching her huge belly, I guess it must be a big fat boy.
Her temperature and the fetal movement in her belly suddenly passed through the clothes and belly to my palm, ten fingers to the heart, the touch of the fingers to my heart, she smiled and looked at me, the hope in her eyes was imprinted in her eyes, I closed my eyes, concentrated, transmitted to the palm, closed my eyes, wished the child in her belly must be born safely, peace and joy in the future, and no worries in my life.
After the blessing, I removed my palm and lowered my head.
"Girl, what's wrong with you? I just felt the ingots move, do you feel it?"
After a while, I lowered my head, then looked up, and looked at her solemnly, wanting to tell her what I had seen, and persuade her to leave now.
"Girl, what are you staring at me like this? Don't you have something in your heart to tell me? ”
"Sister-in-law, if I tell you that in three days, this village will suffer a catastrophe, and no one here will be spared, can you be sure to persuade the whole village to leave here?"
"Why did the girl say this? I can't hide it, girl, why is this village, the area is extremely high, there is a cliff in front of it, and the other three weeks are filled with forest poisonous fog, outsiders want to come in, it is impossible, today you fell from the sky, unscathed, this is the will of heaven, what the girl said today, I have half a point of faith in you, but our village is determined not to leave here. ”
I know that they have been here for generations, the guardians of artifacts, the guardians of miracles. But the gods have fallen, and what will happen to them will follow.
I also know most of the stubbornness of the villagers from this village woman, and even such a pregnant woman and child have never lost a little faith in their hearts, and I can't bear to see her die along with the child in her womb, and finally be burned. Continue to dissuade:
"Sister-in-law, even if you only have one point of faith, you have to think about two or three for the unborn child in your womb, right? He is innocent, he has never seen the world at a glance, do you want him to be stillborn. Do you want him to resent you for not giving him a chance to see the world?"
"Shut up, since he was reincarnated in our Umbrella Spirit Clan, then from the moment he was in my belly, he was a member of our Umbrella Spirit Clan, so he couldn't shirk his responsibility, he couldn't be born, he couldn't take a look at the world, it was also the will of God, we have been guarding it for thousands of years, and now because of the girl's words, we have to steal our life, so where does the face of our Umbrella Spirit Clan exist? How can you survive in this world, you would rather die a glorious death, never escape, girl, let's go, I can't send you, I'm tired, I want to take a lunch break, you go, go forward, don't look back. ”
Since I can't be dissuaded, I can't do it if I see death and not save me, and I can't do it to see them die so innocently.
Since you can't dissuade them, then there's another temple, isn't there? They will naturally listen to the miracles they have guarded for generations, right?
Out of the courtyard gate of her house, I walked towards the temple from memory.
Turning through the dense villages, the back hill is where the temple is located, bypassing the straight road, I climbed directly from the path, the temple is located at the commanding height of the whole village, the height is not cold, in their memory it is also winter, the robe I am wearing plays its role.
After straining my hands, I realized that the blood from the wound had already soaked half of my sleeves and covered my wide robe, so I didn't notice, and when I looked at the temple in front of me, I ignored the pain in my hands, climbed up the slope, reached the front of the temple, and stood and looked at the temple that was still new, and inside was a huge statue of the god sitting in the center, and the sails around it swayed in the wind.
The mat that was kneeled down by the villagers in the middle, my heart was beating again for some reason, and there was that feeling of panic and depression again.
And I didn't take a step forward, and the feeling of pain in my heart became more and more intense, and even closer to the threshold of the temple, the feeling of suffocation came suddenly, and I fell to the ground at once, and I couldn't see the face of the idol at all when I knelt on the ground, and my hand was stretched out on the high threshold.
Want to climb in.
But suddenly the shouts behind me rang out, and the sudden catastrophe came quietly, and the cries for help filled the sky, and I complained in my heart that this idol was useless, and these people were so hard to protect him, but when they encountered the catastrophe, this god was useless.
Thinking of the sister-in-law with a big belly, I crawled and crawled, stepping on the blood and bones that had already been everywhere, and ran to her home, and sure enough, she was now lying on the ground, her face was pale, sweating profusely, and she was holding her stomach in pain. Seeing my coming, she said, "Save my child, save my child." ”
As a result, I could do nothing but look at her hands that were gradually hanging down weakly, and closed her unwilling eyes.
I carried her and the child in her womb to the temple, and I knelt on the ground from exhaustion, and looked resentfully at the statue in the temple, and then at the lifeless sister-in-law lying on the ground, and the pool of blood still flowing from her legs, which was a sign of the loss of the baby.
I broke free from my discomfort and tried my best to enter the temple, and I raised my head and pointed to the idol and looked at her face, which I was able to see at last this time, not very clearly, but I could make out that her face was mine.
