Chapter 018: Demon Mark
An ancient and magnificent building appeared on a hill in the moonlit forest, and on a huge altar, a huge silver statue was enshrined, and that statue turned out to be the goddess of the moon!
Feng Luofan has seen such a statue of the moon goddess in his memory, with different postures, but with the same face, the same elegant and quiet demeanor. The difference is that the moon goddess on this altar is even bigger and more solemn. The biggest difference between the two statues is that the moon goddess in memory has no wings, while the moon goddess here has wings!
It's so peaceful that even the flower elves and other forest elves that can be found everywhere in the Elven Forest have disappeared.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled around the building, casting a hazy glow over the whole world. Around the altar, there was an aura of solemnity.
The wyvern landed on the ground far away from the altar. Bai Xiaobai pulled the wind and sailed down the flying dragon to jump off the flying dragon, and with a wave of Bai Xiaobai's hand, the flying dragon left silently. And in the jungle not far behind them, there was an elf watching.
Behind the altar, there is a huge shrine. The stone pillars on the temple have been mottled by thousands of years of rain, but this does not hide the grandeur of this temple, but adds to the solemnity of this temple.
The two large stone doors on the temple were heavy and sturdy, and the stone doors were closed. The stone steps leading from the altar to the temple were covered with moss, mixed with tree seedlings and weeds and flowers. Apparently, this temple has not been walked by elves for a long time.
Bai Xiaobai made a sacred ritual in front of the statue of the moon goddess, and then walked up the steps of the temple with the wind and sails.
When Bai Xiaobai and Feng Luofan walked up to the temple, a pair of elves with wings appeared on the door of the temple, and the elf statue was as if it was alive, and looked at Bai Xiaobai and Feng Luofan on the door, and then made a gesture on the door, and a doorway composed of light and shadow appeared on the door.
Bai Xiaobai stepped in, then turned around and waved to let the wind fall and sail in.
Feng Luofan also stepped into the light and shadow door, and found that he had entered the temple.
The original sunset afterglow was in this, without any sign at all, as if in one step, crossing a world.
The temple was so empty that when you looked up, it was pitch black, with no end in sight, as far away as the sky in the night.
A thin path stretched ahead, lit with a faint, dim, unextinguished light.
Bai Xiaobai didn't speak, a person walked slowly in front, and Feng Luofan only followed behind her, slowly observing this deep temple.
The inside of the temple was quiet, and you could hear the rustle of each other's walks.
After walking a long way, the heavens and the earth suddenly opened up, and a temple as bright as day appeared in front of me.
An elf with an ancient cane, snow-white hair dragging on the ground, and a robe the color of the ancient cane, sat on a seat carved with the sun, moon and stars in the temple.
This elf has an unfathomable aura all over his body.
This is the High Priest of the Elves!
"You're here after all!" As soon as the high priest opened his mouth, he said such a mysterious sentence, which surprised Feng Luofan!
"Yes, High Priest, I brought this human with me. Bai Xiaobai said.
The High Priest slowly stood up and walked down the steps step by step with an ancient tree staff.
"Son, you're right, he's the person you're going to meet in this life. β
I am the person Bai Xiaobai wants to meet? Feng Luofan is even more puzzled, this sentence seems to be in the depths of memory, I have heard the same, simple and shocking voice!
"High Priest, can you tell me, why did I meet such a human, and besides, him?"
"It's fate, it's fate. This human being is the one who will let you die later. So, if you're going to live, kill him. β
"Why?" said Feng Luofan and Bai Xiaobai in unison.
It's incredible, isn't it? Is it possible that I would let such a beautiful and kind elf die at my hands?
"You've told me this, I'm sure I'm not going to kill her. What would have happened if she hadn't really died at my hands. Feng Luofan looked at the High Priest coldly.
The High Priest turned a blind eye to the wind and sails, and did not look at the wind and sails: "You can't change it." Unless you leave your body behind and you take your soul before stepping out of this elven forest, this kind of thing will not happen. β
"Is it because I'm human? a capricious, cunning, ruthless, and unrecognizable human being?"
"You're wrong, I didn't say if you were human or not. The High Priestess replied slowly.
"I'm not human, because I'm not human, so Bai Xiaobai will die at my hands?"
"You don't have to ask me, you can ask Bai Xiaobai. Or, you'll know the answer later. β
"If you don't tell me, do you think that if you let me know the reason, Bai Xiaobai won't die?"
"You are wrong again, there is one thing in the world that will not change, and this thing is the reason for Bai Xiaobai's death, and you will know the answer, because your existence is the answer to this answer. β
This sentence is so familiar that someone once said this to Feng Luofan. Feng Luofan once thought that this was just a dream, but what happened in this dream was so real. And now, I heard it again.
"My existence is the answer to this answer? Why? Why does everybody say that to me and never tell me? Tell me, High Priest, why?"
I'm afraid that the first sentence that the high priest said just now was not only to Bai Xiaobai, but also to Feng Luofan. That shows that the high priest knows about herself, and it is very likely that the thing she knows is her life experience.
"High priest, your first words, 'You're here after all,' were meant to me, right?"
"Yes. β
"Do you know I'm coming?
"Yes, just as I knew that Bai Xiaobai would die at your hands. β
"You know how to prophesy! So, do you know who I really am?"
Hearing this, the High Priest stopped, slowly turned his eyes, and looked at the wind and sails: "You are an alien race that was abandoned on the edge of the Elven Forest many years ago. β
"Alien?!" Windfall was taken aback, "What alien, why was I abandoned on the edge of the Elven Forest?"
"If it weren't for that person, you'd have turned to dust. Although you narrowly escaped death at the time, now that you have re-entered the Elven Forest, you have no chance of leaving alive. β
"Re-enter? Did I come to the Elven Forest many years ago, or was I the one who was abandoned from the Elven Forest?"
"Xiaobai, you can't change your fate, but I can change this fate for you. β
"You're going to kill this human?" Bai Xiaobai shouted.
"Are you really going to kill me?" said Wind Sail.
"I don't need to do it, the demonic mark on your body will incinerate your soul from this world. β
"Demon mark?" said Wind Falling Sail as he remembered the scar on his left hand. The scars on Feng Luofan's body have made Feng Luofan constantly suffer heart-rending pain.
Bai Xiaobai looked at Feng Luofan's already pale complexion and soaked clothes, and inadvertently felt a kind of grief in his heart: "Feng Luofan, you have been hit by the demon mark?
How could the High Priest know about the Demon Mark of the God of Death?
Thinking of the demon mark, the pain hit every nerve and every cell of Feng Luofan, Feng Luofan finally couldn't bear it, and roared to the sky, and the pain also broke out, and an evil aura came out of Feng Luofan's body, filling the entire hall.
Bai Xiaobai stood closest to the wind and sails, and was unexpectedly knocked away by that breath. And the high priest did not move, and in the space around her body, there was an aura of holiness that blocked all the breath.
The surging breath made the wind fall and the clothes on the sail were shattered in an instant. A shocking scar glowed with a fiery yellow light on the body of the wind and sail, like a flame burning.
The pain is no longer indescribable in words, nor can it be described in expressions. The surging breath is enough to show that this is enough to burn the soul, and the thrilling pain of burning a soul to pieces.
Bai Xiaobai struggled to crawl to the side of the high priest: "High priest, save him, he is dying." β
"This is fate, you can see the evil aura in him, if he doesn't die, he will inevitably become a cruel undead killer in the future. Although the High Priest spoke calmly, there was already a look of shock in his eyes, for he had never imagined that Wind Falling Sail would possess such great power.
"It must be because of the Demon Mark. He could see the Flower Spirit, and he wouldn't be an undead slayer. β
"Flower Elf, you're naΓ―ve. Even a human being is extremely cunning, let alone an alien race. You have been deceived and you don't know it!"
"I'd rather die myself than watch him die. β
"I can't save him! You don't have to beg me. You have brought an alien into the elven forest without permission, you have violated the elven code, and you will be banned for a thousand years, and I will kill him now, but you will not necessarily be punished. It's not something I made him bear the demonic mark, it's his fate. β
The scar on the palm of Feng Luofan's left hand became more and more dark yellow, and the scar began to spread, from the palm of the hand to the wrist, from the wrist to the arm, from the arm to the neck, to the neck, to the top of the head, from the shoulder to the wrist to the palm, from the thigh to the calf...... In the end, Feng Luofan's whole body was surrounded by the fierce flames, illuminating the entire empty hall red.
The aura of evil began to take on the breath of death, and the mountains and seas were stirred around the wind and sails.
In the temple, the high priest's calm expression showed horror, and the protective aura outside his body lost its original holiness under the red light of the wind and sails, or rather, it was almost dissipated by the oppression of this breath, and Bai Xiaobai, who was originally kneeling, was already lying on the ground, the feather coat on his body had begun to shatter, and the wings on his back were even more scarred.
The moonlit forest, which had been shimmering with the light of the elves, was annihilated from the center of this temple. Blood began to soak the temple, and the wind fell sails only to see a dazzling piece like a flying flower, and Bai Xiaobai turned into a firework and disappeared into the void......
"No, don't leave..."
