256 The goddess is an acting school3
Aletha was stunned.
She had been slewing to sleep the night before, pestering her mother to tell a story, and Barbara told a legend about her tribe in which the hero was once tied to a boulder by an enemy and allowed a snake to eat his heart.
And now, Alaisa feels that her heart has also been gnawed by a snake, which makes her feel frightened and confused from the bottom of her heart, Mom, where are you, come and help me.
"You shouldn't have interrupted me." The little girl with her back to them turned her face slowly, her words supposed to be accusatory, but her tone was very calm.
This excessively pale face was painted with blood with many totems, and the pattern in the center of the eyebrow was the most striking, as if it were an eye. Both of her hands were soaked in a basin of animal blood, and a pungent smell filled the air.
If they didn't know what she was doing, they only had to look at the floor of the hut: it was a combination of blood totems, drawn only about a square meter, and suddenly stopped at Agatha's feet.
The crowd fell silent.
The words that Alaisa had said before replayed in their minds again: "Save my sister!" Dad went crazy again, he locked her in a dark room, and beat her, and I didn't dare let her out...... He's going to beat me to death! Woo, I'm so scared, Agatha is bleeding, she's going to be tortured to death......"
If the previous words still made them half-believe, the phrase "bleeding" obviously grabbed one of their most nervous nerves.
It is well known that a candidate for the incarnation of a goddess should go through various tests before officially ascending the throne, but must not cause bloodshed, otherwise she will lose her divinity and will no longer be eligible to participate in the selection.
The old priest under the temple couldn't sit still, he was the first to believe in Aleisa, and then summoned these people to come and check. Because this matter is related to the next goddess incarnation, there is no need to say much about the seriousness.
And the scene in front of them seems to prove that they are mistaken.
The old god servant walked in tremblingly, prostrate himself to explore the blood symbols, so close that he resisted the instinct of being smoked to the point of gagging, and his eyes were almost glued together.
"You...... Are you practicing telepathy? β
Lan Shuying replied calmly, "Yes, but today doesn't seem to be a good time to practice. β
"It's our fault, Your Excellency," ......the old servant quickly ascertained the authenticity of these symbols, and he could not see any mistakes, and every line was drawn very steadily, as if it had been rubbed from an ancient book, so his attitude became more humble and cautious: "Please continue to practice, and we will leave." β
Lan Shuying's hand was still soaked in the blood of the beast and did not take it out.
She nodded reservedly and said no more.
Eyes of curiosity, reverence, and fear looked at her and her work, and under the angry gaze of the old servant, they all bowed their heads with shame on their faces.
Among those who were ashamed was not Aretha.
She stared at her twin sister, her little head swaying from side to side, her mouth slurred, who knew what the child was talking about? They just thought she was like a patient who had been overstimulated.
"The goddess is above, and the lying child will be the gatekeeper of the goddess Kuvaroda." The old servant admonished her with a calm face. To Lan Shuying's ears, there is another much more concise summary of this sentence: those who lie will die.
"I'm not lying!" Alesa subconsciously screamed.
She struggled to recall her mother's instructions, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, rushed in and pointed to her sister's hand and said, "She's hurt!" Her hand is bleeding, you can check! β
The old servant's face changed.
The others looked at each other with strange expressions.
Checking a Goddess Incarnation Candidate? This is some kind of stupidity, even if it is really to be checked, only the priest's wife can do it, at least for now, no one here is qualified to touch Agatha's body.
Lan Shuying raised her face and looked disapproving at the little girl.
Her speech speed was very slow, and her voice was not as crisp and soft as that of an ordinary child, but slightly thicker, and the whole person seemed to have entered some kind of mysterious and mysterious state: "Alesa, I am ashamed of your wanton offense. β
The old god servant trembled, and for some reason, he felt a more terrifying pressure from the little girl's body than his teacher, she was like a high god statue, compassionate and cold, and nothing could escape her eyes!
The blood totems on the ground had once again stabbed his eyes and provided the surest explanation for the feeling.
The old servant silently thought that maybe the one in the temple should really give way, this is the real goddess incarnation.
He was about to leave with them when he heard a familiar and annoying voice: "I've received a report from an unknown person, Miss Agatha. The man said that he saw you being beaten by Sears with his own eyes, and that you were bleeding from your wounds, and that you would cooperate with our investigation and take your hands out of the basin! β
Lan Shuying said lightly: "Then you will only see blood on your hands, this examination is meaningless, I refuse." β
She had already explained the reason before refusing to cooperate with the examination, and the words showed a very clear logic, and the way she spoke did not look like an ordinary little girl at all, which made the old servant firm in his mind to defend herβit was a miracle.
The village chief squatted down beside her without smiling, and his sharp eyes stared at the invisible little hands in the beast's blood: "It's okay, I'll let someone go and get the water now." β
The inspection was a must, not because he trusted Araissa, but because Agatha's status made it necessary for him to do itβwhatever the temple supported, whether overt or covert, he should do the opposite, which was the key to his ability to become the village chief before the age of 30.
The viscous beast blood fluctuated for the first time, and his wrist slowly lifted upward.
The eyes of the old god servant, who was the most sensitive to temperature, lit up, and he immediately noticed that it seemed to be getting a little hotter here! Don't......
A glimmer of hope rose in his heart.
At this time, someone outside called the name of the village chief, and gradually, many different voices called him.
In the midst of the noise, Lan Shuying hooked the corners of her lips.
If it weren't for her sly smile, the village chief might have been deceived by her sincere tone, saying, "May the goddess bless you." β
The village chief twitched his cheeks fiercely and said, "I'll be back!" With that, he ran away.
Just now the people outside were telling him that his house was on fire and that a wooden house had been burned down.
"Ahem...... the old servant coughed lightly, reverently pointed his index finger to his eyebrows, and leaned over to salute, "We will leave now, and Your Excellency Agatha will send someone to inform me at any time if necessary." β
Lan Shuying thought for a while and said, "I want to continue practicing, please don't let people disturb me for the next seven days." β
"Follow your instructions, Your Excellency." He lowered his head.
