Chapter 1010: The Phantom Man
But this child took it seriously, jumped into the water, and struggled to the other side, now it is the time of spring and cold, if she swims down, she will be directly submerged by the water!
Qianxue unconsciously lifted her heart, but saw a huge shadow emerge from the water, holding up the child who was about to be submerged in the neck.
Qianxue was shocked again: "This ...... Is this a water beam? ”
It always makes people wonder why this little girl has attracted so many goblins to covet her.
And the little girl was sent ashore by the current, but she waved at the phantom even more anxiously: "Amu Amu!" ”
A sudden wave of light in the water scattered the phantom.
"Ah Shui, why did you knock Amu off!!" The boy lay on the ground and wept.
The water was churning in the waves, as if feeling a little wronged.
"There's a strange aura about this kid...... It seems to be able to communicate with heaven and earth. ”
"It's supposed to be that kind of psychic physique.,Presumably you can see a lot of things that ordinary people can't see at the beginning.,So it's considered bad luck.。 That's why he was expelled from the village. ”
"I don't know where the child's parents have gone."
"She has been bullied all the time, and I think that her parents are either gone or have abandoned her." Qianxue's eyes were always on the child, and she didn't take her eyes off at all.
"You seem to care about this kid." Jun Li looked at her and stared at the child for a moment.
"Aren't you too?" When the kid was being bullied, she could even see Jun Li restraining her anger.
"This kid really makes people feel like they can't take their eyes off it." Jun Carp muttered this sentence.
"I have the same thoughts as you, maybe this kid is someone we know well." Qianxue said to him: "But don't think so much about it for the time being, just look at this child's situation." ”
In the memory of this sacred tree, the child's temper came and went quickly, and after a while, he lost his breath, and jumped up and squatted among the flowers on the side, as if talking to the flowers, and said in a pleading tone: "Lend me another flower, just a flower, okay?" ”
She pleaded for a long time, as if promised, and carefully plucked the flower.
"Did you notice, the wounds on her body are already healed."
"Did you absorb the aura of heaven and earth and automatically repair the wound?" Qianxue was slightly surprised: "She is not a human race!" ”
"Exactly."
The two of them were aroused with curiosity, and along the way they turned back with the child and went to the mountains and forests, the child was really powerful, and he was still dying, and now he was able to run in the mountains and forests alive.
They came all the way to the sacred tree, and saw the child take out half a steamed bun from his bosom for a long time, and put it on the altar under the sacred tree with the flower he begged for.
The offering table was full of flowers, fruits and vegetables, and the child's half steamed bun looked shabby and stingy, but it was the most precious thing she could ask for.
She carefully placed the things on her tiptoes, then leaned over and folded her hands: "Please bless me for finding my friend, he has been missing for a long time, I can't find him anywhere, please be sure to protect his safety." Let him come back safely. ”
When the boy had finished speaking, he fell to his knees and kowtowed respectfully three times.
"Friends?" Qianxue muttered quietly.
"It should be friends who played together when they were young." Jun Li analyzed: "I just don't know where this child's friend has gone." ”
And the sacred tree emitted a little light, as if to soothe her.
The sacred tree could also feel her aura, and helped her to rest her appearance, and the child was about to thank her, but was reprimanded: "Who is here!" ”
The boy was frightened like a frightened bird, and fled quickly into the depths of the forest.
A few people came from a distance, carrying baskets and obviously asking for offerings, but when they saw the gray steamed buns, they said angrily: "Who is using this kind of thing to humiliate the sacred tree!" ”
As he spoke, he threw the steamed bun aside, and took out the delicately crafted dim sum from the basket: "Lord Shenshu, let's try the lotus village I bought!" This is the best Master's craft! ”
And after this offering was placed, the sacred tree did not move as it had just now, and those people seemed to be used to it, lit incense, offered the offering and bowed their heads and left.
After they left, a small child suddenly came out from behind the sacred tree, but this child was in a translucent soul state, he carefully looked around, made sure that there was no one, and then walked over and picked up the dirty steamed bun.
"Isn't this little boy the child's friend?"
Qianxue asked.
"It looks a bit like this, but he's dead."
Jun Carp went around to the top of the sacred tree, because the current sacred tree has lush branches, and from below it looks like a huge umbrella cover, and the branches are entangled with each other, and the deeper it goes, the denser it becomes, and the more it can cover up the truth.
Jun Li paused on it, and then said to Qianxue, "I found him." But you have to be mentally prepared to come up again. ”
This was as if she was some kind of tofu heart, Qianxue felt that she was being looked down on again, and she came to the treetops on tiptoe, but the next moment she was really grateful to Jun Carp for giving her time to warn and buffer.
It was above the treetops, and there were countless bones.
Hidden in the treetops and among the leaves, it is impossible to see.
Qianxue gasped slightly to calm herself down, as if she could already smell the putrid smell that was spreading, she looked at these corpses, they were all firmly entangled with branches, and they had been turned into ashes for a long time, and there were also fresh corpses, which looked like people who had died not long ago.
"This is flesh for souls."
Qianxue frowned.
"This corpse should be the child." Jun Li pointed to the small corpse huddled not far away, because he had been dead for about two months, his body was still well preserved.
"How do you know?"
"He had that red thread tied around his wrist." Jun Li raised his chin to indicate that by the time the boy appeared, he had completely mastered his features.
Since this child is here, doesn't that girl know?
"Why does this tree devour people?"
"Wrong. It's not for it to devour, these people are sacrificed. Jun Li's voice froze.
"Sacrifice?"
"The clothes they wear are all in one style and color. And, if I'm not mistaken, they still have tattoos on their bodies. ”
He pointed to the boy's handwriting peeking out of his neck, which was blurred, but vaguely recognizable as being engraved.
"Offering to the sacred tree?" Qianxue was silent for a long time: "It seems that we still know very little about the birth of the Divine Pillar." ”
"At the moment of inheriting the mandate of heaven, I always don't know what kind of existence is behind this, do you feel that this way has some similarities with the divine pillars in the academy, and not only that, there is another thing, which is very similar to this way."
Jun Li's words made Qianxue fall into deep thought: "...... You're ...... I didn't think so! ”
"Naturally, it is the method used by the King of Kahma." Jun Li said: "He also used the method of sacrificing the soul, and the artifact we used, and the way it was opened is no different from this. ”
His words shook Qianxue's heart.
In their previous cognition, whether it was a divine pillar or an artifact. They all exist to protect the world, and behind this guardian of the world, it still requires the sacrifice of countless people in exchange.
"Really...... Is it?" When Qianxue knew this shocking fact, she was not as surprised as she expected, as if she had already been mentally prepared, but now she was accepting and digesting this fact.
"What do you mean......"
"The Pillar of God has not been polluted at all, it should be said that this is the truth of the Pillar of God." Jun Li said solemnly: "But now this is just my speculation, you and I should not jump to conclusions." ”
"Maybe here, you and I can confirm our thoughts." Qianxue nodded at him and said, "Follow that child, this is the memory that the Divine Tree wants to tell us." ”
It wasn't hard for them to find the child, because she had a significant portion of the remaining memories of the sacred tree, and she still ran from village to village, not just to be fed.
She's still looking for her missing friend.
But no one in the village told her where the person had gone, and she wanted to go to her friend's family to confirm, but the child's family was only an old man who lingered on the sickbed.
The old man's thoughts were intermittent, and every day someone came to help him with the funeral, but their care was only perfunctory, and the old man even almost drowned in a basin of water once, but the girl saved him when she broke into the house.
But the old man was delirious and could only talk nonsense.
When I saw her, it was as if I had been seriously stimulated, and I almost didn't carry it in one breath.
The girl had no choice but to clean up her home, hoping that when her friends returned, they would not see such a miserable scene in their home.
"This kid seems to be a very affectionate person." Qianxue stood behind her, watching her silently clean the courtyard, and for some reason all kinds of thoughts came to her heart.
"Not good." Jun Li suddenly whispered.
The people in the village who were passing by outside saw the evil star in the courtyard, and they were startled, and rushed in angrily and angrily, and slapped the child to the ground: "You guy is here again!" ”
The little girl vaguely wanted to beg for mercy, but was grabbed by the hair by the person and dragged outside, and when she saw this place again, she looked even more afraid: "This guy! You shouldn't have been here! This time it's really hard to spare you! ”
The little girl was dragged to the village chief's place, and when they saw her, they seemed to avoid her, and she was locked up in a small dark room, where she did not see the light of day.
