Chapter 196: Nightmare

They were not in a hurry to lead Chen Tongsheng to a safe place, but lowered their heads and looked at her carefully for a while, smiled and took a small pendant bag from her waist.

Chen Tongsheng was puzzled for a moment, this small pendant bag was suddenly replaced two days ago, there was nothing strange or rare.

If Chen Tongsheng was clear enough at that time, she would be able to think of the appearance of an abnormal palace person struggling to remove the pendant bag from her waist before.

But Chen Tongsheng's sachet is far more delicate and beautiful than the palace people wearing it in terms of craftsmanship, color, and style, not to mention that the Northern Dynasty is also accustomed to carrying pendant bags, with sachets made of cloth, jade hollow carving, and plant branches.

On Chen Tongsheng's waist is a hollow sachet inlaid with jade and gold, with a delicate style, and she has no idea what kind of incense is inside.

The guard took off her sachet and handed it to Ling Yi, and then reached out to help her to take it to a crowded place, Chen Tongsheng was puzzled, and couldn't help but glance back, but saw the guard who took the sachet, bent down and threw the sachet to the ground silently.

This shouldn't be at all, even if these guards who protect the safety of the royal family take advantage of the fire to rob at this moment and take valuable and exquisite things from their masters as a reward, it is not a surprise, after all, things have developed to such a point in front of them, but these gathered guards do not want money, but they change hands and throw them away, and the motive behind this is difficult to explain.

What is the need?

Chen Tongsheng took a chaotic step back, the person in front of him was clearly different from the sluggish palace person he saw at the beginning, but it still made Chen Tongsheng feel cold from behind his spine.

With a leg back, he retreated to the leg of the guard behind him, and the guard bent over and said, "What's wrong with the little nobleman?" ”

The tall figure pressed down on her, stretched out two arms, and held them together at her sides, as if she were afraid that she would fall, forming an inescapable encirclement.

Chen Tongsheng opened his mouth and wanted them to send him to the priest's hall, they led her in the opposite direction to her destination, but because she couldn't speak, the guards couldn't hear her, only to see her keep retreating and thinking, but the guards behind her were motionless, blocking her, telling her to only move forward, not backward.

"Little nobleman, is this so?" The guard who had supported her at first squatted down and looked at her and said, "Will you take us to Your Majesty?" ”

It was this sentence that made Chen Tongsheng, who was originally suspicious, have goosebumps all over his body in an instant!

Who the hell are these people in front of you!

And when she raised her head in horror, she found that these people with different appearances and shapes showed extremely similar smiles on their faces.

That look looked as if it was an expression made by the same person, when Chen Tongsheng was coerced in front of those gathered palace people, seeing the expressions on their faces, as well as the sensations emanating from their bodies, the tone of their voices, and the movements they made, all seemed to come from the same person.

It's as if they are standing in front of her in front of her, but in fact, they are just one person.

——————

Chen Tongsheng retreated in horror, those people didn't come to catch Tairan, their expressions were no different from ordinary ordinary people, but they were so similar, even the slightest changes in the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were as if they had been measured, and they subtly maintained the same angle.

"Please." The guards bent down to her, and none of the palace people objected to his actions or words, and they didn't seem to care about everything that was happening in front of them. Don't care about the successive explosions, don't care about the misty white fog that fills the air, they are no longer palace people at this moment, they are no longer efforts to serve the court, in Chen Tongsheng's opinion, they seem to have completely become another identity, another person.

They didn't care about the immediate situation, as if they had known that this would happen, and what they were looking for at this time was not a way to escape from life, but Chen Ke, the person who could arrange this large-scale successive explosions.

Chen Tongsheng gestured to the guards to convey her idea of going to the main hall, but at the same time, the people ignored her and pushed her forward.

The guard said to him very gently: "You can just go according to your own feelings, don't you have to worry about it, little nobleman, don't you want to escape?" ”

This is not at all what a subordinate person or someone in the same situation as her should say.

Chen Tongsheng stumbled and was forcibly supported, once he turned in the direction of the priest's hall, he would be stopped immediately, those people seemed to know that she was going to the temple, and Chen Xinlan asked Chen Tongsheng to go to the secret passage of the main hall, saying that even if no one could survive, she must live, indicating that the secret passage of the main hall is the place where she can escape, those people vaguely know this, but stop her, it means ......

They don't want to run away at all, they don't want to live at all.

Chen Tongsheng came to the tall and majestic palace gate, and the explosions behind him continued to sound.

The explosions seemed to be regular and arranged, staggered between the palaces, and it was not urgent to blow up and collapse the palaces, but after a wide range of explosions, gradually, the main halls of these palaces collapsed in turn.

The smell of gunpowder smoke is approaching, and the fire caused by the explosion is also spreading, and the sound of the explosion is getting closer and closer, judging from the sound of the explosion, the palace gate may be the last target of the explosion.

The whining wind increased with the change of position, Chen Tongsheng stood under the palace wall, only to see countless huge torches facing him, they were crumblingly suspended on the palace wall, as if they would all fall on them in the next moment, the ground was slippery, Chen Tong moved his feet vividly, and smelled the smell of fire oil.

The ground was full of oil, and this torch was prepared in the morning.

Because of the reason for looking up, Chen Tongsheng was a little dizzy like lack of oxygen, and the bursts of hair in front of her eyes, the sense of chaos was like a branch, and it was wrapped around her with fatigue, this feeling Chen Tongsheng was actually very familiar, when she first inherited the so-called Gala divinity, when she began to appear delirious and seriously ill, this often happened.

There was a white shadow flickering in front of her eyes, both human-like and non-human-like, like an incomparable monster, more terrifying than Yu, like the statue of Gala that she had seen in her vision.

In fact, she has a secret that no one has told, and when the vision first occurs, the Gala in her eyes is actually like an eyeball, a scorching monster that can't figure out the size of the monster.

The eyeball dripped from the sky, and with it was something outside the sky, and it was so huge and terrifying that it could destroy the land below when it fell.

But Chen Tongsheng didn't say anything, no one would believe her, if Gala was really a god like the legend, how could it be human?

She heard the noise of confusion, dense and chirping, cries and wails, voices of men and women, voices of the great migrations of the people, the voices of the wind blowing through the silent people in the loneliest and emptiest time.

She saw the priests, her mother, Chen Xinlan, including the generations of priests before her, those who had died young or old.

Priests are almost invariably female, which seems to be some kind of rule, and this position was originally set not at all to enable people to communicate with the gods, but simply to make sacrifices to Gala.

Offering sacrifices to the gods of human beings named priests, any mortal can become a priest, endless priests, endless sacrifices, a fate that can be glimpsed by any person in the priesthood that is constantly repeated.

Her pupils dilated, and she fell on her back.

In the violent tinnitus, in the chaos in front of her, her consciousness seemed to suddenly break away from her body and rise into the air, her eyes turned to all the palaces behind her, the ruins and broken walls, the burning flames and the dust that rose into the air, and the spreading white mist, so everything suddenly turned into nothingness at this time, as if suddenly turning into a water mirror, Chen Tongsheng's gaze passed through these, and went straight to Yu Yu after the heavy shadowing.

Yu Su was staring at her.

Countless eyes, through all directions, were staring at her.

She felt the people around her fall one by one, and the fire burned, biting at the fabric of her body, and quickly climbing up, but then someone put out the fire on her body and picked her up.

The wind was howling, Chen Tongsheng opened his eyes, and looked down, the entire capital was lifeless, and the busy streets were empty at this time. And right at her feet, under the palace walls, there was a piercing and sharp cry.

Maybe there were those guards palace people who asked her to look for Chen Ke, but the number was obviously larger, and the palace people who stood in the palace at the beginning seemed to have regained their will and rushed to the palace wall, gathering into a surging crowd, trying to shake the closed palace gate.

They dragged their shrill cries in droves, rushing from afar, like evil ghosts from hell, and like mortal souls who had fallen into hell by mistake, dragging blood-blurred corpses, Chen Tongsheng even saw that someone's legs were rotten into flesh and bones in the explosion and collapse, and he was still able to move forward.

There was a fire burning under the walls of the palace, and they cried and ran, ignoring the fierce flames in front of them, which were a man high, and slammed into the flames one after another, striking the walls with their flesh and blood, and climbing up and down among the stacked corpses until they fell in the flames.

The cries they make, the emotions they express, are so fearful and sad, but what they do is so horrible and incomprehensible.

It's human, but it can't be human.

Suddenly there was a whispered song in my ears, which was the ancient Lingyu, the pronunciation of another dialect different from Chen Tongsheng, the tone was longer and more melodious, and the intonation contained the confusion of the tribe who did not know where to go.

Chen Ke doesn't say this pronunciation, Chen Tongsheng doesn't say it, Chen's background, including most of the people with the three surnames, don't say it.

In the palace, there is only one former queen surnamed Mo, who speaks the best and often speaks.

She hummed and sang the folk ballad, and in the eyes of her lover, she was forever fresh and lovely.
