Chapter 641: The Temple
"To die or to live?"
Kasya's words are so harsh. Moreover, Chu Ming had no room for bargaining.
"From today onwards, you are the razor." Jia Ye roughly arranged the fate of Chu Ming and Lily. He looked at Lily:
"As for you, the key thinks you can do it, so let him try. And then—"
Kaye yawned and nodded a little sadly in a bored manner: "Tell them the rules, and report to the temple in a month." ”
Kaye is gone, and after he, the absolute protagonist, leaves, the scene suddenly becomes cold.
Chu Ming didn't speak, he was still digesting this huge amount of information. Lily didn't speak either, she snuggled weakly on Chu Ming's shoulder, watching quietly.
The key glanced at Lily, a dangerous frenzy in his expression.
Zaohui kept her head down, her murmuring voice was so low that no one could hear what she was saying.
The noose was silent, he looked at the ruins, only in one place, for a long time, and then moved to another.
"You only have a month. The words of Lord Kaba cannot be disobeyed. Sadly smiled reluctantly.
"If—" Chu Ming said.
"There are no ifs." Grief cut off Chu Ming's words: "If you escape, it will only cause a greater disaster." ”
"For example—"
"For example, secondary cleaning."
"What is cleaning?"
"Just like before, bugs, orcs, monoculus. Moreover, the secondary cleaning is not a program cleaning, so the temple will send a special person to operate it. ”
"What kind of people?"
"We're like that."
The "we" mentioned by grief also includes Chu Ming, and he is reminding Chu Ming of the seriousness of the second purge, which is absolutely irresistible. It's an all-out blow from both the high end and the low end.
Don't say that the Frost Blue Galaxy is just slowly recovering from the war, even if its strength is not lost. The Frost Blue Galaxy is also unable to resist a war of this intensity.
Imagine that those bugs and orcs and the MONOCULUS fleet were really in command, this commander didn't need to be too outstanding, he just needed to fight in a decent manner, and the human race would not be able to escape the fate of extinction.
And, if it is really sad that such people join the war. Then their blow to the high-end power of human beings is overwhelming. They can systematically kill the outstanding figures of humanity one by one, and this kind of behavior will cause a total panic in humanity.
"You're only one person, so obeying the Temple's arrangement is saving your friend." Grief persuaded.
Grief was also afraid that Chu Ming would stubbornly refuse, if it was those, the punishment from Jiaye would be merciless, and he would not be able to escape.
"What is a temple?"
Hearing Chu Ming's question, the grief completely relieved his heart.
"We still have time. I'll tell you slowly. However, no one can fully understand the temple, and many things can only be observed and experienced by yourself. ”
"Is it just me and Lily?" Chu Ming asked another question.
"There are no limits. But I advise you not to bring too many people unless, you want them to die. ”
The word grief is sincere advice, and Chu Ming also understands it. The temple should be a place where strength is honored, and the natural law of natural selection is pursued. There should also be order. But order is also built on strength.
"Don't despair, you'll find that you'll get more." Sadly said, "Those two enemies of yours just now. It is the artifact and craftsman selected by the front hall, you don't know how difficult it is to be titled, for the strong, this is an irresistible temptation. ”
"You mean?"
"A powerful opportunity, a chance to become a god. And—" Sorrow walked up to Lily: "A chance to unlock the locks of faith." ”
That's a reason you can't refuse.
"A month?" Chu Ming decided.
"Yes, a month."
"Okay, a month." ……
Grief they left. Leave very freely. The more this happened, the more it showed that they were not afraid that Chu Ming would escape. Because they have the power to govern the fate of humanity in a galaxy.
This is not something that Chu Ming can resist and escape, in this galaxy, there are also his friends, relatives, classmates, and comrades-in-arms. He had to face it.
Woke up Nessie, who looked at everything in shock before calling for a rescue team at the behest of Elder Joshua Ben.
Elder Joshua Ben and Mr. Hallbolin knew what was going on, but they remained silent. There is no good in saying these things, and the lock-up of faith is still an unsolvable shackle.
Elder Catus himself came to fetch them, and he asked, but stopped asking when he had not received an answer. He was so clever that he could guess something, and he knew better that it was better to know some things than to know them.
A month is not a long time, and Lily, who is seriously injured, is not suitable for a long journey. Therefore, Chu Ming did not leave the Orc Empire, but informed Bambi and some friends.
Bambi stayed until Chu Ming left. And the others came and went one after another. Many of these people are sensitive people, and for a while, some mysterious rumors circulated on this remote planet.
Rumors stop at the wise, and Chu Ming doesn't care about rumors. He's waiting for someone. Then, he waited for the expected and the unexpected.
"The Innocence Family wants your help—"
General Xiao Li's arrival was expected by Chu Ming. Chu Ming had studied the Qiong Face Pattern and the Hairpin Face Pattern thoroughly, so he guessed the secret of the Innocence Family.
"The Joan and hairpin patterns are a kind of sin pattern."
General Xiao Li didn't go around in circles, and said very directly.
"According to the family's earliest records, we were exiled to this forsaken land. The criminals of our temple are thorns and exiles. ”
Thorn with exile was considered an ancient method of exile in the world before Chu Ming. It is generally tattooed on the face, which is called Moku.
However, Chu Ming felt that this thorn match was not so simple, because the Qiong face pattern and the hairpin face pattern were definitely not only tattoos.
"It is said that our family has the sympathy of a certain powerful person." General Li explained:
"In order to avoid the demise of our family, this substitute pattern was given. Men are poor face lines, and women are hairpin face lines. Subsequently. Our family carried forward and perfected this vein again, and after the most lucrative it formed the current Qiong face pattern and hairpin face pattern. ”
"Not guilty? Guilty? Chu Ming quickly figured out this logic. Regardless of whether the innocent family is guilty or not, they must consider themselves innocent, which is why they call themselves innocent families.
As if seeing Chu Ming's thoughts, General Xiao Li said with a slight excitement: "For human beings." We are innocent, I firmly believe that. The reason why our family has maintained a mysterious accumulation of power is to save humanity when the catastrophe comes. ”
General Xiao Li was right, the innocent family did not sit idly by when the insect tide came, and their actions were recognized by everyone. But, on the other hand, it may be their sin.
"What is a temple?" Chu Ming asked a question that he was most concerned about.
"A super large organization, simply impossible to fight. They control countless galaxies. The Frost Blue Galaxy is only a very low-level one, so it is also known as the Forsaken Lands. General Li said.
"Forsaken land? Why is it not the Land of the Ark? Chu Ming remembered what the gray-robed Yait had said, he said that this galaxy was the land of the Ark. It was impossible for Chu Ming to hear it wrong, because in the language of the Frost Blue Galaxy, the word "Ark" was an independent pronunciation, and there were no homophones, not even homophonic words.
"I don't know what to do?" General Xiao Li shook his head, his impressions of the temple were all from the records in the family collection. Those words don't give the whole picture of the temple.
"What about the Twelve Artifacts and the Twelve Craftsmen?" Chu Ming asked another question, but he still got a negative answer.
The innocence family has been passed down for too long. It is not surprising that the family's classics have been lost, and it is not a simple miracle that they can preserve the Qiong face pattern and the hairpin face pattern.
"But I know that the temple is composed of the main hall, the front hall, and the square courtyard. I don't know which one recruited you? ”
"Square Courtyard." Chu Ming clearly remembered what Jia Ye had said, and he had mentioned the word Square Courtyard.
Hearing Chu Ming's answer, General Xiao Li frowned slightly.
"It's probably the worst option." General Xiao Li shook his head: "Regarding the temple, there is a sentence in the family classics: the main hall does not care about the front hall, and the square courtyard does not care about the three. Speculate based on the context of this sentence. The square courtyard is the most chaotic and sinister place. Much more dangerous than the main hall and the front hall. ”
"What about your family?"
"The main hall." General Xiao Li said with certainty, presumably this is the pride of the innocent family, so it is recorded in detail.
"What is the main hall?"
"I don't know what to do," General Xiao Li shook his head: "Maybe it involves taboos, but those secrets have not been recorded." ”
General Xiao Li didn't know much. An exiled family will definitely be subject to a lot of restrictions, so, this is logical.
"Are your families planning to return to the main hall?" Chu Ming also knew that he couldn't know more secrets about the Dao, so he consulted General Xiao Li for the purpose.
"No!" Surprisingly, General Xiao Li refused, and the reason for his refusal was also very reasonable.
"We're just going to prove our innocence. And, even if our innocence is proven, we will not return to the main hall. The Frost Blue Galaxy is our roots, this is our home, and we still have to protect it. But—"
General Xiao Li took out a wooden plaque from his arms, and he hesitated for a long time before he said slowly:
"This is the personal decision of the patriarch of the innocent family, and even I oppose it. However, I chose to obey. ”
"What is this?" Chu Ming looked at the wooden sign, there was nothing unusual about this sign.
"Convict of Atonement." General Xiao Li cautiously placed the wooden card in Chu Ming's hand: "This is the reason why our family was exiled instead of being exterminated, and it is said that a crime can be pardoned." ”
"No matter what kind of crime?" Chu Ming was shocked this time, the patriarch of the innocent family gave something amazing. This kind of courage and purpose made it difficult for Chu Ming to guess.
"Yes, as long as you do it, you can be pardoned." General Xiao Li reminded Chu Ming.
According to Chu Ming's current strength, what kind of crime can he do? It's not bad if he doesn't get killed, and besides, he has to protect Lily when he can't protect himself, and it's impossible to make enemies everywhere.
"It's a request you can't refuse."
Chu Ming still accepted it, the huge thing of the temple overwhelmed him, his hole cards, his strength, everything was useless. In the face of absolute strength, he is like an ant, only trembling.
A coat of atonement may not work, but what if it does. As for the innocent family's request, if it can really be done—can it be done? ……
Seeing off General Xiao Li, Chu Ming sat alone for a long time. He was trapped in some kind of dead loop of depression, and he didn't know what he was going to do. What will be done? What to face? What to pursue? And most importantly – he didn't know his way......
A month is a very short time, and time passes day by day. And Chu Ming became more and more silent. Both Bambi and Lily tried to enlighten him, but to no avail. Because he is confused, he can't see the future and doubts the past, he stands on the time of "now", not knowing where to go. Subsequently, Chu Ming saw the person he had never thought of......
