Chapter 36: The Holy Maiden of Nalan
When Ah Nu asked, a teardrop just fell from Ah Yu's face. Ayu hurriedly wiped it and forced a smile: "It's okay, Childe." ”
Ah Nu scratched his head and looked at the brazier, and said, "Ayu, are you looking for something?"
Ayu was stunned, looked at Ayu in surprise, and said, "How do you know?"
Ah Nu rummaged through the firewood in the brazier and replied, "I see you looking for things in many rooms." ”
"Ahh
Ah Nu paused for a moment and then said, "You don't have to worry, I won't say it, and, no matter what you do, I will definitely help you." ”
Ayu lowered her head and didn't say anything, grabbed the corners of her clothes with both hands, and tears fell like pearls with broken threads.
Ah Nu was in a hurry, got up and said, "Don't cry, I really want to help you, I can use my six senses to penetrate some places, and it's very convenient to find things." ”
Ayu raised her head and said in a trembling voice, "Childe, I'm ...... I ......" Before the words were finished, I had already cried so much that Lihua was choked with rain.
Ah Nu said in a panic: "Blame me for saying the wrong thing, don't say it if you don't want to, don't cry." ”
Ayu squatted down, buried her face between her knees, and let out a cry of pain, finally releasing the suffering and sadness of this life in an instant......
Ah Nu was at a loss, turned around and grabbed the face towel, but he didn't know how to hand it to Ah Yu.
Ayu cried for a long time before she got up and said, "Childe, Ayu is a bad person......"
Ah Nu handed the face towel to Ah Yu and said firmly: "Ah Yu, you are so kind-hearted, you can never be a bad person." ”
Ayu said: "Although I have never thought of harming people, many people have died because of me, my people are displaced, and I can't help them. ”
Ah Nu was puzzled: "You are a weak woman, how can other people's lives and deaths have anything to do with you?"
Ayu wiped away the tears, hung up the face towel, raised her hand and pulled out a few slender silver needles from her hair, and slowly turned around.
"Ahh
......
"Ayu, what are you?"
"Childe, my full name is Yuxiang, and I am the Holy Maiden of Nalan. ”
"Ahh
Ayu looked at the vast snowy scene outside the window, and said faintly: "In the eyes of others, the Nalan Holy Maiden is extremely noble, but I hate it very much......"
"My mother is a Nalan Holy Maiden, and my father is an ordinary guard......"
"They secretly fell in love with each other, sneaked out of Nalan City, fled into the desert, and gave birth to my sister and me......"
"The days in the desert are miserable, but they are the happiest time for me......"
"It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, when I was nine years old, the nobles of Nalan chased into the desert and found our ......"
"On that day, it was also such a heavy snowfall ......"
"My father was killed on the spot, and my mother held us in pain and plunged a dagger into her abdomen......"
"This ......" Ah Nu's eyes couldn't help but turn red when he heard this, he also lost his parents since he was a child, and he felt the same way.
Seeing Ah Nu's expression, Ah Yu smiled bitterly and continued:
"The nobles brought us back to the city and confined us to the inner palace......"
"The elders said that we had the blood of Our Lady, so my sister was chosen to be a saint......"
"They said that saints can only serve the Virgin all their lives, and they will never allow romances, but four years ago, they married my sister to a strong enemy, and I became a saint ......"
"A year ago, another strong enemy came to attack, and they were in a hurry to give me a ...... marriage."
"I was grieved and angry, and I escaped, but ......"
Ayu's chest rose and fell, a little excited, and only after half a sound did he say:
"I wanted to go to my sister, but on the way I heard it, because of my flight, the strong enemy turned angry......"
"The statue of Our Lady was toppled, countless Nalan nobles were killed, and more Nalan people were displaced......"
"I'm a bad person, I'm the one who killed them, I'm the one who displaced them......," Ayu closed her eyes, and a string of tears fell.
Ah Nu grabbed Ayu's hand and said loudly, "This has nothing to do with you!"
Ayu opened her eyes and looked at Nu in a daze......
Angry and found that he was out of shape, he retracted his hand and said: "They forced your parents to death, and forced you to marry, selfish, you deserve to die, what a bullshit saint, don't do it!"
Listening to Ah Nu's words, Ah Yu seemed to feel better, and said: "Although the Nalan nobles are hateful, their families are innocent, and those ordinary Nalan people are even more innocent, this incident started because of me, naturally I have borne the sin......
"Ayu, you ......" Ah Nu was about to say two words of comfort, but Ayu waved his hand to interrupt and continued: "Childe, you don't have to defend Ayu, even if I am not a bad person, I must be a sinner......
Ah Nu clenched his fists, but he was speechless for a while.
Ayu continued: "I knew that I was guilty of my sins and was determined to atone for my sins, so I broke off the idea of looking for my sister, performed a disguise technique, and sneaked back to the city......
"What are you atoning for, are you going to take revenge?" Ah Nu couldn't help but ask.
Ayu shook her head and said, "I'm a weak woman, how can I do this." It was Mother who once said that there is the inheritance of our Nalan Holy Maiden in the Rock Chamber of Commerce, and if you can find it, you can activate the bloodline of Our Lady and have mana......"
"Our Lady can use mana to stop the westward erosion of the desert, I think if I can have mana, maybe I can help the exiled Nalan people live a stable life......"
Ayu's eyes became firm, and suddenly exuded an incomparable aura of holiness. Outside the house, the snow had stopped unconsciously, and the sunlight shone in through the window, dyeing Ayu golden......
Ah Nu nodded and said, "I understand, you came to the Locke Chamber of Commerce as a maid just to find the inheritance of the Holy Mother." ”
Ayu bowed her head and said, "It's a pity that I secretly searched for a year, but I never found it." ”
Ah Nu said, "What is the inheritance of the Holy Mother? I'll help you find it." ”
Ayu thought for a while and said, "It's a jade box, and there should be a comb in it." ”
"Wait a minute, I'll take a look. Ah Nu closed his eyes, completely released his six senses, and carefully searched every corner of the Chamber of Commerce.
"Huh!" After a while, Ah Nu opened his eyes and said, "There is no room in the Chamber of Commerce, but I found that there is a dungeon under the Chamber of Commerce, and perhaps, what you are looking for is inside." ”
"I've been here for so long, and I've never heard of a dungeon down there. ”
Ah said angrily: "Well, the passage is full of dust, and no one should have been there for a long time." You look for ropes, and when no one is there at night, let's go in and have a look. ”
......
At night, Ah Nu led Ah Yu through several courtyards, came to an ancient up the rope, and sneaked into the ......
The foot of the well was narrow, and Ayu's feet slipped and her body was about to slide into the pool, and a warm arm was pulled from behind her waist......
Ah Nu took Ah Yu back into his arms, and at this time, the moonlight spilled from the mouth of the well, and he saw a pair of eyes as clear as lake water also happened to look at him.
The two clinged to each other and listened to each other's heartbeats, both of which were inexplicable feelings. Ah Nu calmed his mind, held Ah Yu steady, and quickly let go and turned around to find the entrance to the underground palace......
