Chapter 108: Evidence
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. "I tried to clear myself up and didn't know how to explain it to them.
"Isn't it too tired, I've been in a coma for so long and haven't woken up." Ye Zhiqiu asked with concern.
I nodded wordlessly, but the images in my mind were so real, as real they were, that I couldn't even explain why I imagined them.
Gong Jue said let me rest again, he helped me back to the bed, Ye Zhiqiu followed Bavado to change the dressing for me, when the gauze of the wound on my body was uncovered, my eyes fell on the wound on my wrist, and the whole person was shocked, and I broke the wound that was about to heal, and the blood immediately gushed out and fell to the ground.
"What are you doing?" The palace lord covered my wound in surprise.
The pain made me very conscious, the wound on my wrist was neat and smooth, it was definitely not cut by a river stone, it was clearly cut by a sharp blade, if everything was my fantasy, then why did I still have this wound on my wrist.
If all this wasn't my hallucination, then why didn't they have the slightest memory of the experience?
The wounds on my and Tian Ji's bodies were enough to prove something, but not enough for me to tell who was wrong between me and them.
Bavado hurriedly helped me redress my wounds, and I grabbed her hand and asked aloud, "When you rescued us from the river, did we have anything else on us?" ”
Bavado was probably frightened by my crazy appearance, not to mention that she couldn't understand my words at all, Ye Zhiqiu translated it to her, Bavado thought for a long time before answering, Ye Zhiqiu told me that when Bavado found us, he didn't see anything on us, but Tian Ji kept clutching a backpack in his hand and refused to let go.
"Backpack ......" I stood up abruptly, let the blood flow from my wrist, and hurried back to the field chicken's room.
The others followed me with a blank and shocked expression, and the general, who was still in the patio with people drinking, saw me hurrying in, his eyes fell on the wound on my wrist, and his face changed dramatically to ask what was happening.
"Stay at the door, don't let Wen Ru in." I said with a grim face.
The general's face was immediately serious, he should have guessed that the matter was not small, and nodded calmly.
I walked into the field chicken room, he saw me turn back and complained that I didn't subside, I didn't say a word from the corner of the bed where he slept picked up the backpack, opened it and opened his mouth in surprise and excitement.
"What's wrong?" Tian Ji asked confusedly.
My hand slowly lifted, and I pulled a glittering three-eyed unicorn mask out of my backpack, which was enough to prove that it wasn't my hallucination.
"Pure gold!" Tian Ji couldn't see these things, he was listless before, but now his eyes were shining, and he grabbed it and asked excitedly. "Why do I have this in my bag?"
Everyone else looked at the golden mask in surprise around Tian Ji, and the palace lord was amazed for a long time before he came back to his senses: "How do you know that Tian Ji has this thing in his bag?" Where did it come from? ”
I took a deep breath and slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, it seems that the person who has the problem is not me, what made all of them forget that unbelievable experience, the general should know that things are not simple, standing at the door and looking outside vigilantly.
After a long time, I tried to tell them everything about the temple in a calm tone, and for a long time I could hear a needle drop in the silence of the room, and they looked at me like a monster, and even after I finished speaking, Ye Zhiqiu insisted that I was not lightly ill.
If it weren't for the golden mask in my hand, most of them would have thought my brain had been broken, and the silence was interrupted by the general's exclamation at the doorway, and he listened so engrossed that the smoke between his fingers burned to the point of his hand.
"Liao Kai and the others are dead?" The general asked in shock.
"I personally freed Liao Kai." I nodded.
"Do you remember where that temple is?" Ye Zhiqiu's expression was too excited, for her, those ruins made it difficult for her to calm down.
"Remember, but it doesn't matter anymore, the temple has collapsed, and now even if it is found, it will sink into the underground river."
"Collapse? So why did the majestic temple collapse? Ye Zhiqiu looked at me in surprise.
"Blew up the core and weakest part of the temple, causing the entire temple to collapse."
"Blown up?" Ye Zhiqiu was dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time. "Who blew it up?"
I raised my hand and pointed to the Tian Ji on the bed and the general at the door, Ye Zhiqiu was so angry that he almost didn't drag the Tian Ji off the bed: "Do you know how important that ruins are, why as long as there are places you have been, they will be blown up, that is the best witness that can uncover the ancient history of the Jiuli Clan, and it will be destroyed in your hands like this." ”
"At that time, I didn't think that I would come out alive, everyone was ready to die with the temple, hey, it's all about it, you forgot everything." I shook my head weakly and smiled bitterly, pointing to Ye Zhiqiu's short hair. "Your hair was cut off in the temple, and I don't know how important the temple is to you, but I know you almost dropped your head in it at the time."
"Wait a minute, you just said, I broke twelve golden masks in the last ice room." Tian Ji's focus has never been the same as mine, he asked, holding up a mask with a three-eyed unicorn pattern. "What about the rest? What about the remaining eleven? ”
"At that time, I didn't even have time to escape, who is still thinking about these things like you, and it's only you, it is said that you are still holding this backpack in the river, and it is estimated that you are still thinking about the mask in your heart when you pass out." I glared at Tian Ji and replied angrily. "But it's good that you brought this mask out, otherwise I would have thought that my brain was stupid, and I would have thought that I was hallucinating."
"Since we've been to the temple together, why are you the only ones who remember it, and we're completely unimpressed?" Gong Jue lowered his head and thought for a long time, but still shook his head. "My last memory is also when the Lancang River was wrecked."
"Can't you remember anything after the shipwreck?" I asked.
The others looked at each other as if trying to remember, but in the end everyone shook their heads blankly.
"From the time we found the clue and entered the temple until the temple finally collapsed, I felt like you were all normal." I rubbed my forehead, puzzled. "Why do you forget everything when you fall into a coma...... Did you hit your head when you fell into the river? ”
"Yes, all of us are stupid, you are the only one who is fine, how high do you think the odds are." Ye Zhiqiu asked.
"Then something must have happened while you were unconscious, causing you to forget about your time in the temple."
"No, it's not that I forgot about being in the temple." The general leaned against the door, looking serious. "I guess we don't remember anything related to the temple."
The general's remark also reminded me that their memory was still stuck in the time of the shipwreck, so it was unexpectedly that we later met the descendants of Jiuli, and learned from the priest about the ancestral god of Jiuli, and finally found the temple, all of which had nothing to do with the temple of the ancestral god, they had no memory.
"Think about it again, was there anything wrong with us before we fell unconscious?" Tian Ji asked.
"On the way to the temple, there are Gu who specializes in eating human brains, and praying mantis in bronze armor, then the temple guard with a butterfly face, the old female worm who has become a spirit, and finally there is a tall and tall Chi You...... You ask me what's wrong with the temple, and there's nothing right......" I looked at Tian Ji with palpitations, and suddenly frowned. "Chiyou, I really remember one thing when you say that."
They hurriedly asked what it was, before the temple collapsed, we saw the red light that enveloped the entire ice room, it was the eyes of the three-faced beast head of Chiyou that was blown off by the general, I remember that everyone was stiff and sluggish after seeing the red light, and then the temple completely collapsed.
Before the red light appeared, I felt that they were all normal, and the worst outcome of falling into the river was drowning, but it would never make everyone forget what they had experienced at the same time.
"It's the red light!" I slammed to my feet from the bed. "Chiyou is made of bronze, but the eyes are finally opened, it should be what the ancestral god left when he made Chiyou, Chiyou has no thinking, like a machine that has been set, once the ice sculpture ice coffin in the ice room is damaged, he will be activated to protect the safety of the ancestral god, presumably the collapse of the temple has also activated another function of Chiyou."
"What function?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.
"You have been questioning why the Jiuli Ancestral God and the huge bronze Chiyou have not appeared in the literature in the temple before, and there is no rumor about the construction of such a huge temple in later generations, and at the same time, you and Wen Ru both said that there was a blank fault period in the history of the Jiuli clan, and the approximate time happened to be the time when the ancestral god built the temple." I walked back and forth in the room a few steps, looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said. "There is no impermeable wall in the world, and there should be rumors about so many people participating in the construction, unless it is ......"
"Unless those involved in the construction of the temple are like us." The palace lord was smart and quickly thought of it. "They don't remember anything that ever happened."
"Yes, the memory of their temple and their reverence for the ancestral gods is completely erased, just as your memory is erased." I nodded. "But the butterfly queen in the temple needs to be raised, so only the priest is allowed to keep incomplete memories, and these secrets are only known to those who know the priest's language, and fewer and fewer people know this secret in the generations, and at the same time, the secret is becoming more and more fragmented, and in the end, the priest can only vaguely remember that there is an ancestral god and a resurrected Chiyou."
"If that's the case, the power of the ancestral god is beyond imagination, according to your description, you can build such a huge temple, there should be a lot of people involved, and you can erase the memories of hundreds of thousands of people at the same time......" The palace lord walked up to me and asked suspiciously. Why do you remember everything that happened? ”
In fact, it was the palace lord's doubts that overwhelmed me the most, there were so many things in the temple that I couldn't explain, such as why I was okay when I was attacked by bugs, why the butterfly queen suddenly tamed when she touched my blood, and the sounds I kept hearing and the images I saw......
But all this collapsed with the collapse of the temple, and there was no way to explore it anymore, and I had too much confusion to annihilate with the collapsed temple.
