Book 8, Chapter 11: The Sacrifice
The Miao knife in his hand emitted obscure energy fluctuations,
I took the maid's hand and walked towards the door step by step.
With his hands raised, the energy field drove those messy debris and blew all over the sky.
The knife fell, and with a roar, the boulder the size of the front of the truck fell apart at this time.
Even if Hildra doesn't carry an energy field, with her own sharpness, she can still split this stone. Now it carries energy, which can only be described in one word: overwhelming!
Bang!
The boulders blocking the doorway all collapsed, revealing the original doorway.
Qian Xinyu was sent far away by the energy wave, and she couldn't get up from lying on the ground.
The energy wave was still under my control, and she wasn't hurt yet. Even if you feel a little uncomfortable now, you will quickly get used to it.
"Why?" She looked up at me and asked unwillingly and angrily.
Her hair was very messy, it was no longer what it was back then, and there was a hint of cyan in her pale face.
What I couldn't bear to look at was her eyes, full of helpless sadness, obviously full of anger, but now they were drenched in a rain that extinguished this nameless fire.
"You can't trap me!" I lowered my head and said lightly.
I took the girl and walked past her. I wanted to settle accounts with her, but now I can't get angry.
I stopped, turned my back to her, and said without looking back, "We...... The two do not owe each other, and from now on, it has nothing to do with each other. ”
"It doesn't matter for a long time, does it?" She was devastated and closed her eyes.
"Yes! It doesn't matter from the time you start going down the wrong path. You lured me and my wife here in an attempt to kill us.
Now that we're out, I'm not going to help you either. You're here on your own, and it's up to you whether you can go out or not. ”
I can't kill her, but I can't save her. She came here on her own, so she was left to fend for herself.
Actually, I know that. I can't save her when I die, she's a patient, and she can't get out of here at all.
"Let's go......" Yaya took my arm and whispered.
Yaya is also very sad. The sound is small.
"Hmm!"
I thought: I don't need to hide anything now. She's a dying person who can't get into trouble by leaking the news that we're not earthlings.
With a wave of his hand, the Miao knife hung in the air again, emitting a golden light. I'm going to fly out of this place with Yaya.
But I still turned around, looked at Qian Xinyu on the ground, and said, "Finally, I'll tell you one thing, the two of us are not from this world at all." Hello for yourself. ”
She staggered to her feet, leaned against a huge, cracked pillar, and smiled, "Then I'll tell you something at the end." The Sacrifice Spirit is always by your side! ”
"Why should I trust you?"
She smiled coldly, but her eyes looked at Yaya, and said softly: "That's all I need to say, whether you believe it or not." ”
I felt very uncomfortable in my heart, raised my eyebrows slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't talk nonsense. ”
"I didn't say anything, you thought it yourself."
I felt even more upset.
It seems that there is still something she hasn't told me.
I let go of Yaya's hand, walked over to her, and said softly but deeply, "You'd better make it clear." ”
She smiled, shook her head, and stepped back.
Next to us, there is a huge crack in the ground, very deep. This crack should be the same underground canyon as the cliff I saw when I last came in.
On that cliff, there was a bridge with information left by the stuffy gourd, and it was based on that information that Xiao Ruo knew about the existence of the ancient tomb of the Yuan Dynasty. That's when I found the long-lost Sildra
After I self-destructed my memory, I fell into a coma, and I couldn't know what happened after that.
All I know is that when I woke up, I was in a small city in southern China. As for why my weapon ended up in an ancient tomb in the Yuan Dynasty, I really can't figure it out.
"Why should I tell you?" She slowly stepped back.
"You...... Don't talk nonsense...... "Yaya followed me, and was about to say "nonsense", but she couldn't make a sound.
I was slightly surprised, and when I turned my head, I saw her clutching her neck in pain. Then, he passed out and fell to the ground.
"Yaya......" I was shocked, thinking that it was a toxin attack that remained in her body. Hurriedly ran over.
Her face was flushed, but fortunately, her breathing was steady.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief. was just about to carry her on his back, but he saw a bloody mark on her snow-white neck.
What's going on?
"Yaya......" I patted her cheek gently, but she still didn't respond.
I really passed out.
Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and there was a trace of incomprehension on her pale face, which was a puzzle after shock and fear.
"Isn't it...... It's you? I hugged Yaya, turned around, and looked at Qian Xinyu angrily.
There were just three of us here, and I couldn't think of anyone else hurting Yaya except her.
I don't know what kind of means she used, she hurt Yaya from such a distance.
I thought: I can't let Yaya get out of me anymore, or I really don't know what will happen.
"When something happens to her, the first thing you think of is me," she shook her head sadly, "am I so untrustworthy?" ”
"You...... How do I want to trust you? ”
"It's okay......" she suddenly fell silent and muttered, "I'm really the only one here, who will hurt her but me?" With tears streaming down her eyes, she turned and walked to the cliff.
I vaguely knew what she was going to do, and I took a conscious step with my right foot, but I took it back.
Although it is underground, the wind is still very strong.
She stood on the edge of the cliff, and her back was really indescribably desolate.
"I'll tell you," she whispered, looking back at me, "the spirit has always been with you. Be careful......"
Why be careful?
Naturally, they will be careful because of danger. Could it be that the sacrifice of spirits is dangerous?
Just like the sentence in the dream: "The guardian spirit is the health spirit, but what is the sacrificial spirit?" In a sense, 'sacrifice' means killing! ”
Do you sacrifice the creatures of the world?
Isn't this the end?
I carried the girl on my back, and stood on a large black rock, and I also stood in the wind.
The wind passed through Qian Xinyu and came to my side. There is a deep sadness, remorse and helplessness in the wind.
I was silent.
After a long time, he raised his head and asked, "Sacrifice spirit, what is it?" ”
"It's not human! It's not a thing. For thousands of years, no one has ever seen it in its true face, and who knows what it is? The answer is all in mind. ”
I understand now that the sacrifice spirit she said before can cure all diseases, but it is just a pretense.
"In that case, then why did you stare at Yaya just now?"
"Don't you think she's suspicious?"
"She's always been like this, what's so suspicious?"
"Don't you think she's too quiet? Isn't this the biggest suspicion without a flaw. ”
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"You know it very well in your heart. I don't need to break it. ”
Yaya has always been naughty and lively, if she is quiet, it will be really abnormal.
For a while, I thought that Yaya's personality had finally changed and become quiet. But after 800 years, I realized that I had recognized the wrong person, that quiet girl was not Yaya, but Qin Yao!
Could it be that all this now is a replay of the story of the year?
If it's a replay, who will be the protagonist of today's story? Who will be the director behind the scenes?
These thoughts were just passing through my mind for a moment.
I looked at Qian Xinyu, but I saw that she was also looking at me.
My feelings are really complicated, complicated!
At the same time, it is also very contradictory.
I've never trusted her, and I've been wary of this person ever since I had a bad impression of her.
Her eyes were sad, the sadness of a lifetime of loneliness and love and hate.
No regrets and regrets, sadness and happiness, jealousy and tolerance, came together at this moment from her eyes.
She is indeed hateful!
I thought, "But isn't she a woman who is so strong that people can admire?" If it weren't for AIDS ruining her, I think she would have become an amazing person by now. ”
I'll trust her for once......
"I believe you ......"
This sentence is heavy, and it comes out of my mind for a long time.
The world is silent in this moment.
The sound of ticking water has also slowed down the rhythm,
The wind held its breath at this moment, freezing her clothes in the air.
It was a short moment, but it was also a long moment, long because of her beautiful smile......
"Thank you!" She looked back and smiled, her messy hair and old-fashioned outdoor clothes couldn't hide her style.
"Goodbye!" She said these two words very softly, really lightly, like a breeze, inadvertently floating over people's faces.
She closed her eyes and walked calmly and serenely out of the cliff.
I didn't make a shot. Just stood there stunned.
"Rather than live and live like an ant, I would rather die with dignity, at least it will be a little more decent......"
Her weak voice followed the wind from below the cliff, as if it were nothing.
In her bones, she is still so proud, but life has ruined her.
The clear and beautiful voice echoed throughout the underground space, without the coquettishness and snort of the past, there was only a kind of relieved tranquility, so quiet that people couldn't move.
Qian Xinyu died, she jumped off the cliff alone, and she would never come back.
If your heart is suddenly empty, a person, will die like this?
Between the wars, I have long been accustomed to seeing life and death, but at this time, my heart is still very sad, alone...... And so he died.
I stood there and didn't move for a long time.
I heard the wind, I heard the heartbeat of myself and the maid, I heard the sound of the rats, and I heard a muffled sound from under the cliff!
It was the muffled sound of stone colliding with flesh and blood.
Under the cliff, there is no underground river, there are only hideous boulders, boulders that can cut off people's waists.
It's even more unlikely that there will be trees here, that's the bloody plot in the TV series.
Here are the facts, without so many coincidences.
She's dead, really dead.
That muffled sound announced the end of her life.
That's fine......
I thought: she is such a lonely and arrogant person, it may be the best choice to die below, I didn't see the tragic situation after her death, thousands of years later, even if someone sees it, no one will know who she is.
She is such a smart person, she must have arranged this ending for herself a long time ago.
This is her last refuge, this is where she is far from the cruel truth......
Long
I couldn't help but sobbed softly against the wind.
"Zhuo...... What's wrong with you? The girl didn't know when she had woken up, and she leaned in my ear, weakly but with concern.
"She's dead!" I said.
My voice was deep, as heavy as the darkness of this underground space, as heavy as that heart.
"She's very pitiful......" Yaya was also a little sad, and murmured, "I used to hate my father and mother, and I hated them for not hurting me, and hating them for not loving me." I felt like an orphan with parents. But now, I know that I have been lucky, really lucky. When I was growing up, it was my father who sheltered me from the wind and rain, so that I could grow up carefree and happy. I'm not going to go hungry, I'm not going to face threats from bad guys.
And she has to face the calamities that the world gives her by herself. She's really amazing and strong
……
Don't always feel unlucky, in fact, there are many people in this world who are less fortunate than you
……”
"You're strong too!" I said softly, "She's just as strong as you are. ”
"Nope! I'm not as strong as her. ”
"For 800 years, a person has to bear the pressure of life alone, and to find someone who has betrayed him, and to avoid the assassination of some people. You...... Isn't it strong enough?
She is more than 20 years, you are 800 years.
In the past 800 years, many people have changed long ago. And you haven't changed ......"
Yaya didn't show a very happy look,
She couldn't be happier right now.
"Zhuo, let me down."
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to say goodbye to her. She is indeed hateful, but she is also very admirable. ”
The mecha held up Yaya's weak body, and she stood next to me, turning her head to look at me.
I understood what she meant, took her cold little hand, and bowed respectfully in the direction where Qian Xinyu fell.
One, two, and finally three.
I said softly, "I hated you and hurt you. I've always taken these things for granted.
Now that I think about it, I was also at fault.
You're helpless, so you're jealous.
It doesn't seem to be your fault either.
No one will be a saint.
Not to mention the younger ones.
There are many, many things that none of us have yet to experience.
We are nostalgic for this beautiful and cruel world.
We want to know more.
So, we have desires,
With persistence,
There was a thought.
We resent, we feel unjust,
But he also laughed on the other side.
Tears and sweat,
No one can tell......
Who will be who.
Sad and happy,
It's even more black and white confused,
Our world,
is gray,
It is also white......
The white of the sun.
We're on the wrong track,
But I'm afraid to turn back,
Knowing that turning back is the shore,
But he still has to stubbornly walk into the depths of the sea.
Until the lonely boat of the heart is overturned.
someday
We know what to do,
And did so,
We just knew:
We gain one thing, but we also lose more.
The former is called the true self,
The latter is called young.
I don't know what the legendary heaven will look like,
I just wish it was there,
Fate could be fairer......"
