The Gate of Truth
During the time that Father Ann was away, Yu Siqi began to try to use the skills he had learned in the human resources department to respond to inquiries. Truth be told, it works pretty well. Soon, they stopped dwelling on it. William himself, on the other hand, had been counting down the hours there, as if the end of the world was coming.
"Are you afraid of death?" Yu Siqi asked.
"No, I'm not afraid of this. What scared me was dying as a bird. William suddenly said something a little sad, which unexpectedly resonated with others.
"How did you go from being a human to a bird?" Eun Min asked curiously.
Originally, according to Yu Siqi's thoughts, he thought that William might use some inconsequential nonsense to explain it, and after wrapping you around, he would pretend that nothing happened. As a result, the situation has taken a new turn. This time, William actually told the truth: "Someone took an interest in my body, so he took it." Out of my survival instinct, I possessed my soul with this poor little fellow. So, a talking bird just appeared. ”
"Is that so?" Yu Siqi stared at William's body suspiciously, not seeing anything abnormal.
"Of course, do I have to lie to you?" William turned to Yu Siqi and said, "Really, why doesn't everyone believe what I say?" It was also in vain that I spent so much time telling you such a legendary story. ”
"Thank you for educating us about local legends dating back thousands of years, but did you forget to mention them? Of course, I think you're just habitually ignoring that we asked you in order to learn what the door of truth is, and that's it. Unfortunately, even now, we still don't know much about what it is. Don't worry, fold your hands, look at the flickering flames in front of you, and say, "It's all thanks to you, William." ”
Having said this, William gradually buried his bird's head in the rich wings, as if out of shame. Although Yu Siqi doesn't particularly like anyone to speak in a cynical tone, this time, he is quite in favor of not worrying about it. At least after that, William was fully aware of his mistake. And there seemed to be signs of repentance, no, when he threw his head up again, the tone and tone of his voice were far from the usual not-so-serious ones, "The so-called door of truth is in fact the door that contains 'truth and reason.'" The teachings of the Twilight Sect are cloudy, ignoring the truth and falsehood, and only then can we see the root cause; Only by abandoning rationality can we gain ourselves. ”
As soon as William's words fell, a stone door more than three meters high broke through the ground and stood not far from them. Looking at the structure that was like jade all over and the countless exquisite reliefs on it, Yu Siqi blinked his eyes. It wasn't that there was something wrong with his eyes, but he didn't expect William to summon the 'Gate of Truth' directly.
"It's... It's an amazing masterpiece. Fu Xi looked at the door that William had summoned over, and then at William, and there was some light in his eyes that he hadn't seen before.
"I didn't want to do that," William said calmly, "because it would mean betrayal of the church." However, I... Forget it, it's good that you're happy anyway. ”
"The style of the late Lamersiani dynasty," Fr. Ann's voice appeared behind them, amplified little by little, "and the relief on it stands for 'I smell it'." I really didn't expect to see such a creative work of art after just walking away for a while. Is it you, William, did you do it? ”
"It's me, okay!" William bit the words hard, "I said it, I don't want to do it." I'm starting to regret it now, can any of you get it back? ”
"No way!" Yu Siqi shook his head, he was going to give up the search for the 'truth' easily.
"Hey, Father, you're running too... Hurry up. Gong Chen dragged a shark about four or five meters long and ran over, and the bright red blood stains were pulled far away, and it was also very long. When he found the stone door, his eyes were wide open and his expression was exaggerated.
But I don't know if Yu Siqi had an illusion, he vaguely saw that under Gong Chen's exaggerated expression, there seemed to be a little sadness hidden?
"Where did this thing come from?" Gong Chen asked eagerly.
"Summoned by William," Eun Min asked, looking behind Gong Chen with a look of disgust, "Where did you get such a big shark?" ”
"It fell from the sky," Gong Chen put down the rope that hooked the shark, sat back in front of the fire, and said proudly, "I found it first, and it seemed to be alive at the time." ”
"It almost killed you," Father Ann pointed out keenly, "and if I hadn't dealt it the fatal blow in time, I'm afraid I would have had to go to its stomach to find you." ”
"Pull me down, am I like a man who was eaten by sharks so easily?" Gong Chen asked arrogantly.
"It's very similar," Yu Siqi laughed, then turned his face to Father Ann and asked, "Do you think this is the so-called 'Gate of Truth'?" ”
"'The Gate of Truth'?" Father Ann raised his eyebrows, glanced at William, and said, "That's not what the literature says, according to relevant records, this should be a 'flipped' door." Am I right, William? ”
"You're right." William nodded, and in a small voice agreed with Father Ann.
"Are you lying to us again?" Yu Siqi began to get angry, he would never have expected that he was almost tricked by William again. Just as he was about to punish William a little, the latter hurriedly looked at the others with a hint of contempt and said, "I didn't lie to you, this is the 'Gate of Truth' you want." That's what the church says to the congregation, and I'm not lying to you. ”
"So what you mean?" Don't worry about staring at William suspiciously.
"Probably the church lied to everyone, including me, um... That's right, it should be like this. ”
William's perfunctory attempt to perfunctory was quickly recognized, and under the threat of one of Gong Chen's fingers, he curled up in the depths of Siqi's palm, and said stubbornly: "If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself!" Right, I'm right, right? Don't people always say that seeing is believing? ”
"Seeing may not be true," said Don't worry about coldly throwing out such a sentence, then moved his gaze to the shark and said, "Tell me what is going on here." ”
