Chapter 160: Underground

"I'm not going to let them live."

The woman on the ground didn't say a word, just knelt on the ground, and Chen Tongsheng stood in the purple smoke without making a sound, and for a while, the house and even the entire priest's palace were silent, as if shrouded in darkness.

Chen Tongsheng raised his head a little strangely, wanting to hear something, but he didn't hear anything.

There was only a very slight, negligible sound of breathing.

When Chen Tongsheng left Kyoto to investigate cases before, he rarely went to such a quiet scene. The world says that the countryside is pure, but in fact, the birds in the countryside are constantly singing, sometimes there are springs on the road, sometimes they encounter some alert beasts and animals, even at night, they can hear the constant insects and frogs, only in the towns, will you encounter such a lifeless silence.

It is only when everyone is asleep, no longer active, and the whole town is silent, that there is such a quiet and abrupt atmosphere.

Chen Xinlan's palace is in the palace, and it is not remote, how can it be so quiet?

"What are you going to look for today?" Chen Xinlan finally said: "Who told you those words? ”

As he spoke, his gaze swept towards Song Chuanbai, who was standing the farthest, and Chen Tongsheng immediately said, "It's not Qinglin." ”

"Oh?" Chen Xinlan sneered and said, "That's the other restless ones?" Wen is often heard, or is it the North Hunting Hall, or your father? ”

Good guy, I sent her three more people out at once.

Among the three, Chen Tongsheng had only heard the name of the North Hunting Hall, and when Chen Xinlan spit out these three words, his brows subconsciously moved, but Chen Xinlan keenly captured it: "North Hunting Hall?" ”

She said and glanced down: "The North Hunting Hall is good enough." ”

What's going on?

Chen Tongsheng thought, could it be that this kneeling person, what does she have to do with the North Hunting Hall?

"Chongwu," Chen Xinlan read out the name of the person on the ground: "The North Hunting Hall has been decayed and dried up for so many years, and the people inside can't do anything, but they are very active in escaping, you entrust your sister to these people, which one has a better ending, I'm afraid it's not necessarily." ”

"Even if she dies on the way to escape," Chongwu lowered his head and finally spoke: "It is better than dying here in horror and despair." ”

"All I told you not to tell her so she wouldn't be in so much pain." Chen Xinlan: "What do you think, Kiryu? ”

Chen Tongsheng had nothing to say, but he always had to answer, Chen Xinlan seemed to believe that he already knew something, Chen Tongsheng opened his mouth and said, "I don't know." ”

Fortunately, what Chen Xinlan said was a question, so it is understandable to answer like this, Chen Xinlan really laughed again when he heard this, nodded and said: "Yes, what do you know, no matter how smart you are praised, you just listen around listening to other people's words, and use your sunflower-like brain to stupidly think about these things that you can't understand at all." ”

Chen Tongsheng: "......"

I'm afraid this mother really dislikes her.

The current dialogue is like playing a dumb riddle, Chen Tongsheng has to keep grabbing the desirable information from the other party's words, to guess the other party's thoughts, and even so, there is very little information that can be obtained.

"Yu Su," Chen Tongsheng suddenly asked, "What is it?" ”

Song Chuanbai was obviously shocked, he didn't expect Chen Tongsheng to be so direct at this moment.

She didn't want to care about what was common in the North Hunting Hall, the root of everything behind this was Yu Su, only Yu Su, if she had already arrived at Chen Xinlan, she didn't know what she was facing, then there was no need to delay any longer.

Chen Tongsheng already felt an inexplicable urgency.

It can't be in this northern dynasty, only Chen Ke knows about the couple.

Chen Xinlan stared at her indifferently for a moment, mother and daughter looked at each other, Chen Tongsheng's eyes did not belong to the child at all, and Chen Xinlan said half-loudly: "You have already started?" ”

"I'm not dead yet, but you've already started?"

The rest of the people were all driven out, and Chen Xinlan led her through the long and narrow road with luminite stones on the walls again, and led her into the big hall that Chen Tongsheng first came to see here, only this time the oval door was closed, and the hall was dim, with floating lights dotted with stars.

Chen Xinlan didn't stop, walked straight to the blurred statue in the main hall, pressed the switch, and the huge statue slowly shifted in front of Chen Tongsheng, revealing the entrance below.

"Come in."

Going down from the square entrance, there were narrow and crooked long roads one after another, and Chen Tongsheng, who walked on the extremely steep stairs, was quite laborious, for fear that he would step on the air without paying attention, and roll and bump into Chen Xinlan in front of him.

The road in front is also very exquisitely decorated, the wall is both starched, and inlaid with luminite stones, and scattered murals can be seen, Chen Tongsheng didn't see what was spent on it, but he could feel the exquisite intentions at a glance.

But as you enter, the walls on both sides become rougher and rougher, like a road dug directly out of the earth, and when you touch it, you will feel a hand of dirt. The air grew murky, the luminite stone was gone, replaced by rough torches, and the well-defined stairs beneath their feet began to roughen.

"Do you know why it's so narrow?"

Chen Xinlan said coldly.

"Why?"

"Stop the escape," Chen Xinlan said: "If something happens underground, and the people underground are in a hurry to escape, they will often be trapped in this narrow road, or at least hindered, unable to get out quickly." ”

How can anyone still have such a heart in the tunnel?

Chen Tongsheng asked, "What's next?" ”

Saying that, Chen Xinlan pushed open the two doors, and the mechanism made a clicking sound, and the cold air coming from the ground came from the ground.

Chen Tongsheng walked slowly and hesitantly, and finally saw the idol she had seen countless times in her dreams.

Idol of Gala.

It wasn't that big from what she had glimpsed in the temple, just about a man tall, and it had to be the height of the tall men.

The statue of Gara did not hold a bowl of blood in its hands as before, nor did it wear a rich crown and garment. Instead, there was a longbow on his lap and a knife hanging behind him, which was the ordinary dress of Chen Tongsheng's memory of running around, sitting on the stage with his eyes closed.

The statue was so realistically carved that Chen Tong had the illusion that if you stepped forward and touched her longbow, she would slowly open her eyes and look at you.

"Gala," Chen Tongsheng said her name, "Galahia." ”

"You've seen her already." Chen Xinlan said: "When did it start? ”

Chen Tongsheng looked at Chen Xinlan's figure: "Why...... Why do you ask? Did you know that it was only a matter of time before I could see her? ”

"You'll know from the time you're born smarter than ordinary children and weirder than them." Chen Xinlan said: "You seem to dream a lot, and when you wake up, you often can't tell the difference between dreams and reality, although you speak earlier than normal children, and learn to walk earlier than others, but you are always in a trance, and then you are not close to people." ”

"I don't think I had such a big movement as you did when I was young, but it was only after I saw Gala that I began to dream frequently at night and had similar symptoms."

As she spoke, she turned her head, and her tone was extremely disgusted with this cycle of fate: "And I have seen with my own eyes how my mother was trapped in a dream and could not get out, and finally died. ”

Chen Xinlan lit something in the dark, so the surroundings suddenly lit up, Chen Tongsheng looked up in surprise, and saw that the surrounding walls were all portraits, one by one, old or young, with different faces, hanging together one after another.

"What is this?"

Chen Xinlan looked at the paintings and replied, "It's you." ”

"Do you remember that among the stone statues that lined up on either side of the path you went to the temple, there was one who looked extremely painful in his dead appearance?"

Chen Tongsheng responded, only to hear Chen Xinlan say: "She is like you, and she also showed her induction for Gala at a young age, and she herself is very proud of this, she listened to the legend of Gala's homeland, so she wanted to go, and I don't know where she followed Gala's instructions, and suddenly appeared in the streets of the capital one day, crazy, and if she wanted to send her again, she was unwilling to live or die." Later, she was sent to the temple, and in the middle of the night, she admired the moon in the courtyard and died of spontaneous combustion for no reason. ”

Chen Xinlan said: "So it was later rumored that she was disrespectful to Gala, a rebel who was inconsistent with her appearance, and should have gone to Gala's homeland, but escaped halfway, so she was punished like this." ”

"Really?" Chen Tongsheng asked: "Where is there such a thing as unprovoked spontaneous combustion?" ”

Chen Xinlan laughed: "Who knows, it's just that people like you and her, who are born with a sense of Gala, and will not be affected even if they eat the untreated original solution, are really rare, three or four generations of priests, in two or three hundred years, may not be able to produce one." It's rare. ”

"That's why Dad wanted to send me to ......"

"Yes," Chen Xinlan said, "Actually, I have never been in the same camp as the temple, the people in the temple manage the original liquid, and the North Hunting Hall left by Gala is interconnected, and the position of priest is established by one person after the death of Gala, with different roots and different roots, and different responsibilities. ”

"In addition to the management of the original liquid and the sacrificial matters, the temple honored the will of Gala to a greater extent, and they did not hesitate to sacrifice the entire temple and even implicate innocent people in order to return Gala to their homeland. And I," Chen Xinlan said lightly, "just make sure that Gala's curse can be passed on." ”

In fact, only the temple and the North Hunting Hall are the real Gala lineage, and the position of the priest was originally created by Yu Su, so it is reasonable not to deal with the temple.

Chen Xinlan tilted his head: "But for the sake of the so-called bloodline inheritance, we had to give birth to you." ”

She paused, then laughed.

It's not a chuckle, it's not just a smile on his face, Chen Xinlan has already laughed, his body is constantly shaking, and he is almost laughing.

"Go ahead," Chen Xinlan pressed his hand on her shoulder and pushed forward: "After reading it, you will be just like me, disgusted with these things, disgusted with the stupid lies that have been repeated for thousands of years." ”

"After reading it, you will know how ridiculous it is that we rely on to survive."
