All Chapters_Chapter 22 Sacrifice to the Gods
After a long silence, Alain shook his head gently.
"No, I don't believe you, and besides, I don't know how dangerous you really are, after you occupy your body, can you come back, I can't take this risk."
"You, you ......"
Probably because he was angry, he only said these two words, and the person in Alain's arms closed his eyes and stopped talking.
After a while, her breathing became steady, and Alain knew that the man was gone.
The empty has become empty again.
However, what that person said kept hovering in Alain's mind for a long time.
I don't know what time it is outside, Xiaokong opened her eyes, she didn't know anything about the conversation between the other person in her body and Alain last night, she sat up, got dressed, and saw that Alain was no longer in the Hall of Stars.
Walking up the spiral staircase underground, Sora saw Alain standing under a small window on the first floor of the tower, feeling the faint wind blowing from outside.
"Kong'er, there is no one in this place, have you been living here alone since you came back?"
While Xiaokong was still awake, Alan inspected the tower from top to bottom, except for the ninth floor, which had a lot of books inside, the other eight floors were all kinds of murals and statues, lifeless, and it made people feel desperate just looking at it.
"Yes, this is where the Holy Maiden lives, and this is the place where I remember the most until I was three years old. At that time, the priestesses gathered around me to recite incantations that I didn't understand, and when the 'study' was over, I would be sent back here. The priestesses believed that the tower was a place where they could communicate with the gods, and that even if they came in, they would not stay there for long. ”
If it weren't for this reason, Xiao Kong would never have been so bold and entangled with Alain here.
"Kong'er, what about the Hall of Stars? I have never understood that in the Shadow Killing Gate, the most terrifying word is the Star Palace, it is said that after being sent to the Star Palace, you will be tortured to death, but the Star Hall ......"
Xiao Kong knew that he was going to ask this question, and smiled, took Alain's arm, and the two of them sat on the ground, under the small window with only light.
"Many years ago, being sent to the Hall of Stars was indeed the capital punishment of the Shadow Killing Gate, that was because there was a monster trapped in the Hall of Stars, this monster really likes the stars too much, so, as long as the whale oil lamp is not extinguished, the monster will always be bathed in the starlight, and the chain chain is not used, it will not leave. But one day, a woman who broke the door rules was sent in. But the monster didn't eat her, because the monster seemed to see the real starry sky in the girl's eyes. Later, the girl and the monster left together. ”
Sora spoke calmly, but there seemed to be a flash of starlight in her eyes.
"Left? How could they leave? Also, I remember when I was a teenager, I saw someone being brought in, but what about that person? ”
"The man you're talking about has starved to death in the tower. When I returned, as soon as I entered the tower, I saw a dried corpse, right in the doorway. Maybe it's because of the fear of that monster, even the high priest doesn't know, in fact, there is no murderous monster in the Star Hall for a long time. ”
"And you, how do you know?"
"When I was three years old, I felt that life was too hard, and every day was miserable, so I wanted to commit suicide, and I heard those priests say that the underground Star Hall must not be entered, so I ......"
"So, you deliberately went down there."
Speaking of this, Alain's back was cold, what kind of torture it was, it could make such a young child think of death.
"Yes, I went down, but there was nothing down there, only a letter left by the girl back then, and the letter didn't say in detail how they got out and where they went, but they just disappeared."
"I see, then, have you been living there all along?"
"Well, on the surface, the priests thought I lived on the ninth floor, but I didn't like it, it was too dark, so whether I was a child or now, I live in the Hall of Stars."
Hearing all these explanations, Alain felt like he had heard a legend, but listening to Xiaokong's tone, he knew that all this should be true.
At this moment, a burst of copper bells rang.
Sora turned his head and looked in the direction of the gate.
"It seems that the master of the door is here. Alain, I'll let you out today, remember, don't let others know about the relationship between the two of us, and when I have a specific plan, I'll find a way to inform you, I, I still want to. ”
As he spoke, Xiaokong looked at his hands, his face full of embarrassment and distress.
"I know what you're going to do, come on, I'm fine, haven't you heard a sentence between husband and wife in Zhongzhou? Hitting is kissing and scolding, is it love? ”
This may be the most willing beating in Alain's life.
Xiao Kong pondered for a long time before slapping Alain in the chest.
If this palm can't hurt Alain's heart, and it will beat him until he vomits blood, this strength is really difficult to master.
"Ugh."
A mouthful of blood was directly vomited out by Alain, and on his white clothes, red plums bloomed slowly.
"It's okay!"
"No, it's okay......"
While wiping the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, Alain replied with a smile.
He leaned against the wall, looking at his wife with tender eyes.
"I, I'm open the door."
Wiping her tears, when Xiaokong stood up again, she turned back to yesterday, the arrogant and domineering Shadow Killing Saintess.
There was a creak, and the heavy door was pushed open from the inside.
The dazzling eyes, the small sky of Huang couldn't open his eyes a little, and the dark tower rarely shone into the bright natural light.
After Sora had adjusted to the sunlight, she saw a tall man standing outside the tower, dressed in black and wearing a black mask.
She recognized this outfit as the master of the Shadow Killing Sect.
And the high priest and the other priestesses all stood respectfully aside, waiting for her to come out.
"Lord of the Gate, are you really hard to see? How? I haven't seen you for more than ten years, won't you come out to catch up with me? ”
The cold voice, even colder on this sunny winter morning, the red-clothed saint, wearing thin embroidered shoes, walked out of the tower.
"The deity, I have seen the Holy Maiden."
Raising his black-gloved hand, the door master made a slight gesture towards the holy woman.
The relationship between the two of them is actually quite delicate.
The status of the saint is higher than that of the door master, but the saint is cultivated for the door master.
The Shadow Killing Gate can stand in the rivers and lakes for hundreds of years, all because of the sacrifice of the Holy Maiden, so the master of the door will have peerless martial arts.
However, before Xiao Kong, it had been nearly a hundred years, and he had not succeeded in cultivating a saint who could be used to refine medicine.
If it still fails this time, then the Shadow Killing Sect will be replaced by other sect organizations within a few decades, and finally, it will be destroyed.
Therefore, Xiao Kong is now very important to both the door master and the entire Shadow Killing Gate.
"Heh, the door master is polite, I'm curious, don't you want to know, where have I been in the past few years? Why did you come back? ”
Since the day Sora returned to the Shadow Killing Gate, no one, whether it was a priestess or anyone else, had asked her this question.
The more she didn't ask, the more uneasy she felt, and there was still a slight doubt in her heart, and she had to find a chance to confirm it.
"Runaway children, no matter how far they go, they will still go home after all, since the saint has returned, there is no need to ask about the past, anyway, the saint will be sacrificed to the gods sooner or later, isn't it?"
The low and cold voice was even more chilling down the spine by this cold morning.
Xiao Kong looked at the black-clothed door master who had existed like his nightmare since he was a child, and the anger in his heart couldn't help but burn.
"Hmph, Lord Gate, what if I don't want to die? Are you sure I'll willingly sacrifice to the gods? ”
Xiao Kong's voice unconsciously sharpened, the air around her plummeted, and the light red gauze seemed to be blown by the wind, but at this time, there was no wind blowing in the entire valley of the Shadow Killing Gate.
When Xiaokong's words landed, the door master did not show a surprised look, on the contrary, the white-clothed priestesses standing behind Xiaokong were all like ashes, their eyes widened, and they looked at them in surprise, in their eyes, they were like god-like children.
At this moment, outside the tower, the air seemed to condense in an instant, and no one made any sound or made any reckless moves.
"Ha, hahaha."
Just when Xiaokong didn't know how to end it, the door owner slowly paced and approached Xiaokong.
Under the black mask, there was a cold gaze.
"You have been brought to my shadow killing gate since birth, you can survive in the screening, that is the will of the gods, no matter how many years you have been taken away by the gangsters, you will eventually return to the arms of the gods, this, it is the will of God, understand? My Holy Maiden? ”
In Xiaokong's memory, the door master had never said so many words, and in the distant memory, the door master of the shadow killing door was a terrifying cold nightmare.
However, she had grown up, and everything she had learned in the Void Pavilion was to restrain the Shadow Killer.
"Demons, words, confusion, and many."
As if he was about to bite the words to pieces, after Xiaokong finished speaking, he didn't even give the other party time to react, and volleyed his palm on the mask of the door master.
Although the owner of the door was startled, he still avoided it.
Between the lightning and flint, Xiaokong and the door master fought, one red and one black, like two entangled winds, which made people frightened and dazzled.
After about half a cup of tea, Xiao Kong's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, she seemed to have deep doubts in her heart, and took advantage of a gap to withdraw from the battle and stand back in front of the priestesses.
But before she could say anything, the oldest priestess put her hand on her shoulder from behind.
Suddenly, all power seemed to disappear from Koku's body.
Turning his head with difficulty, Xiao Kong looked at the high priest behind him incomprehensibly.
The high priest also looked at her incomprehensibly, and the old eyes seemed to be warning Xiaokong: Don't make trouble, no matter how much you make trouble, you won't be able to change anything.
