The temple is the first place of the Maya, a magnificent building that existed before the earthlings set foot on earth, built of thousands of huge stones, the outer walls of the temple have been eroded over the years, and have been mottled with traces, and the inside of the temple seems to have suffered some invasion, with dense and deep sharp weapon scratches up and down.

It's like a dynasty palace that has experienced a brutal war, and after being defeated, it was looted and destroyed by the enemy.

It stands proudly in the middle of the lake and sea, and is reflected in the blue waves, the breeze comes slowly, sparkling, it seems to come back to life, such as the twilight beauty Gu Ying self-pity, crying regrets in her heart, remembering the past year.

Geologists say that the temple was built here for nearly 10,000 years.

Towering buildings, only fossils.

If there really existed human civilization in the Mayan New Ocene, what kind of catastrophe did they experience, so that even a skeleton could hardly survive in the world, and what kind of legendary stories happened in this palace that has suffered many vicissitudes?

At the entrance of the palace, there are two pillars of the corridor embraced by three people, the bottom of the column is engraved with wave patterns, and the column is carved with a strange creature with butterfly wings and a long tail body, which is a kind of mythical totem, just like the dragon in ancient China.

The reason why this place is revered as a temple is naturally because of its magical and unpredictable place.

Everyone who stepped into the palace from the pillars, even a staunch atheist, had to admit that there was a soul-cleansing shudder.

There are two stone statues in the inner hall of the temple, the headless female statue with a giant sword and the four-legged stone beast statue that was stopped and slashed.

Therefore, the Mayan government decided not to destroy the surrounding ecological environment on the basis of building the best quality and most comprehensive education base in the open space ten miles away from the lake and the sea.

Don't forget to raise seedlings, not to mention serving the powerful, while building an education base, another group of workers were hired to secretly bulldoze the mountain behind the temple, and build a simple appearance and a luxurious resort hotel inside.

The grass and trees around the outside of the lake are luxuriant, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful, the temperature is suitable, the air is fresh, and even breeds all kinds of spiritual things, every year there are many rich and noble families and dignitaries who come here to stay, wash the soul, relax and relax, it is the holy place that can really cultivate self-cultivation.

When I first arrived in Maya, the Ye family of four lived in the patron's house, and the life was very tight, Ye's father was a hard-working and good-tempered Master Ye outside, and he was the head of the family at home, because life was not easy, he vented all his negative emotions at home, and everyone was the object of his counting, and that's it, the son became more and more rebellious, and the daughter became more and more silent.

Life under the fence is already difficult, I heard others say that sending children to the temple to practice can not only eat and live for free, but also go to school for free, this kind of good thing, how could the Ye family miss it, and hurriedly sent Ye Ling in.

Authoritarian adults only listen to rumors that are beneficial to themselves, even if they are hearsay, while children are powerless to resist and can only obediently obey the arrangement.

The so-called temple practice, in fact, is another sense of orphanage, taking in some abandoned and forgotten children, they are already lonely, emotionally traumatized, can not be comforted, and by the temple staff cruelly disciplined, no matter how young the children need to work, disobedient to the discipline of the light will be starving, heavy beating, scolding and corporal punishment, in addition to cleaning the temple inside and outside, also need to serve the diet and daily life of the dignitaries.

Where there is a difference between the rich and the poor, there will be a class of respect and inferiority, even if it is such a place where the mountains and rivers are beautiful and there is no dispute with the world.

Because Ye Ling was sent by his family, and he was often visited, he was fortunate to be assigned to the inner hall and was responsible for daily cleaning, as for reading, it still depends on the performance in the back, and no matter how arrogant the staff is, they are also worried that disobedient children will poke out the dirty things in the temple, so only a very small number of well-behaved and obedient older children have the opportunity to go outside to study.

Ye Ling carefully cleaned the inner hall, sat on the steps, looking at the stone statue in a daze, she was particularly fascinated by the female stone statue, thinking that she had a strong power like her, she could hold a sword and be happy with her revenge, which was in stark contrast to her current situation.

When the bell rang and it was time for dinner, I quickly got up and went to the small cafeteria, quickly finished the simple meal, went back to the collective dormitory to change into clean waiter clothes, and then followed the other children across the long bridge behind the temple to the restaurant of the resort hotel.

Because she is a little older, thoughtful in appearance, less talkative, and steady in her work, she was brought from the busy hall to serve in a luxury box, and the guests who came in and out of here were highly educated and prominent, and they were polite and modest, and they never embarrassed her.

There are three little guests today, who are about the same age as her, and when they were waiting for the dishes, they swept their eyes slightly, but they didn't dare to look closely, but they were all extremely beautiful, with three hair colors and three eye colors, which were very dazzling.

Especially the little boy with yellow hair and blue eyes, who looks too much like her favorite Barbie doll, like a doll has become a fine, and has become a little boy with short hair.

They were also wearing well-fitting little suits and bow ties, and they sat upright like little adults, and she secretly sighed that the children living in Maya are really not easy in their own way.

People with status pay the most attention to table manners, except for the occasional sound of knives and forks touching the plate, there is only the sound of gently chewing, after adding drinks to them, Ye Ling stood aside and took a shallow breath.

After the guests finished eating, Ye Ling silently cleaned up the table, the light flashed, and found the diamond cufflinks left in the seat, which seemed to be the little master in the middle, and hurriedly chased out, outside the hotel, those adults were still greeting, and there were even reporters interviewing, avoiding the adults, and finally found the three little guests behind the car.

"You, hello, is this your cufflink?" Stammering inquiries in a broken foreign language.

"Oh yes, thank you so much." The young man took the cuffs and thanked him politely, Ye Ling hurriedly waved his hand and left in a hurry, she wanted to clean up the box before the manager came to check.

Except for this small episode, Ye Ling's life was actually very ordinary, and it was not until she received a notice that she could study that she broke the long-suppressed cage and regained her freedom.

The Ye family was also extremely happy when they found out, they always said that silly girls always have stupid blessings, what they saw seemed to be like this, but Ye Ling knew that it was not, there was no luck in the world for no reason.

After many inquiries, I learned that it was because of the cufflinks last time, which was second most valuable and mainly significant, so the little young master decided to sponsor her to study in order to thank her for collecting money.

Ye Ling especially cherished this learning opportunity, got up very early every day, caught the earliest bus, went to the primary school of the education base, and came back at night to clean the inner hall, even if the rest time became less, she was also happy, telling the female stone statue about the interesting things that happened in the school, talking about the newly learned knowledge points, practicing the awkward foreign language, and imagining the future.

Ye Ling is always alone, and the children of the temple are jealous of her and ostracize her; The children at school disliked her and isolated her.

The children's language and eyes are unadorned, the most stinging heart, Ye Ling is becoming more and more withdrawn, no friends only books, so it is very easy to immerse himself in the world of books.

Watching the protagonists live vigorously, working hard to grow, and being able to live a wonderful and interesting day every day, as if that is life, she often comforts herself: Every protagonist must go through all kinds of hardships in life in order to grow into success, and even become a hero who saves people and saves the world.

And she is being tested now, she hopes that when she grows up, she will not be passive and helpless like this again, she wants to be strong, she wants to grow up quickly.

Three years later, Ye Ling, who was actively preparing for the exam in the library, was invited to the principal's office, this was the second time she came here, and the principal who personally handled the enrollment for her introduced her to a group of big men in black, so she closed the door and walked out, Ye Ling was a little nervous and didn't understand what was going on.

"Hello Ye Ling, may I ask if you came to Maya with Li Liren and his wife on August 26, 2328?" It was one of the slightly amiable men in black who was questioning.

"Yes, after coming to Maya, I was separated from them, with my family, and later entered the temple, and now I am studying in this school." Ye Ling swallowed his saliva and replied honestly.

"Student Ye don't need to be nervous, we just want to ask, when you were in contact with the Li family, did you find anything abnormal in his family? Figuratively a strange noise, or some strange creature? ”

"No, I usually accompany their daughters to play in the room or in the yard, and I don't know much about their adult affairs." Ye Ling thought of that experiment, but she didn't want to be involved anymore, so she subconsciously chose to hide it.

The man in black asked a lot of small questions about his dealings with the Li family in detail, and Ye Ling answered them one by one, and only after asking her to make a promise not to spread the word about this questioning did they leave.

It seemed that he also told the principal like this, but the principal didn't ask anything, and Ye Ling returned to his normal study life.

At the age of 15, she was admitted to high school with excellent grades, a generous scholarship, and free room and board.

She was finally able to move out of the temple, and she went one last time to see the stone statues, cleaned the inner sanctum, and then packed her bags and went through the formalities and left.

With her own free time, she found a part-time job near the school, and she needed to save money for her follow-up studies.

Ye Ling also often goes home to see his family, his parents are aging quickly, Maya's life is not as good as she imagined, she has more work, less money, and extremely high consumption, not only has she not made any money in recent years, but also because the Ye family's brother owes a lot of foreign debts.

The children of the aristocracy have long been reluctant to play with him, but Ye Ziming, who has long been blinded by the luxury life of the upper class, is unwilling to work hard all his life like his parents, he has been looking for a shortcut to success, making friends with some investors who think he is reliable, and borrowing money to partner with others to do business, and the result is naturally a clean loss.

Ye Ling had to take out his scholarship, take a few more part-time jobs in his spare time, and barely repay the interest of the bank with the family's meager salary.

This kind of arrears is naturally repaid as soon as possible, but with the situation of their family, it is simply impossible to fill the economic hole in a short time.

Ye Ling became the only hope for his parents, and in their opinion, it seemed that as long as they studied hard and were admitted to a good university, they could immediately find a high-paying job and pay off their debts quickly.

But Ye Ling understands that if you want to get ahead and make a lot of money in Maya, which is full of talents and fierce competition, it is not something that can be achieved by reading a few books step by step.

Life is really hard and difficult, and whenever she feels that she has to get through it, there will always be a new situation that will knock her back into a miserable situation again.
