Chapter 14: The Journey of Atonement (1)
As soon as Gu Shiyu stepped on the horse, he ran into Tanan head-on. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Tanan was stunned at first, and then said: "Very good, it seems that there is another demon in the world." With you by his side, Sauron won't be lonely anymore. ”
You kid can't speak, you always poke at people's sore spots. Gu Shiyu didn't bother to listen to Tanan's ridicule, and ran into the forest.
Yolander knew that he was in danger on the outskirts of the Black Woods, and if Sauron knew about it, he might bring someone to attack him at any time. There are only about thirty heroes under his command, but there are more than seventy in the Black Wood Forest, not to mention that Zoro himself is very powerful. Yolande took the team to a dangerous valley to lie in ambush, attacking and retreating, and sent Kailin and others to guard at the heights on the periphery, while he himself stood guard at the mouth of the valley and looked around.
There was a crow chirping in the distance, which was a warning from the people on the periphery, and if it was very urgent, it meant that there were many people. Yolande lay on the ground, his ears pressed against the ground.
There was a slight tremor on the ground, which was supposed to be the sound of horses' hooves on the ground, and there was no other movement, so Yolande stood up with confidence.
Sure enough, a black horse came out of the dense forest, and the passengers on the horse were also black.
Could this be Gu Shiyu? It looked a little like it, but he was surrounded by a black mist, and he looked very evil, like a dark necromantic knight.
The Necro Knight galloped up to Yoland, rolled over and dismounted.
"Guzi, is it really you?!" Yuland greeted him, surprised and delighted.
Gu Shiyu hugged Youland, and said half-loudly: "Let's go, it's very dangerous for you to be so close to the Thieves Guild." ”
Yolande whistled and led everyone to retreat, but Kailin and the others still followed behind covertly to keep guard.
"Lao You, do you think I can still see people like this?" Gu Shiyu couldn't help but ask.
"It's not a question of whether you can see people, it's a question of whether you can scare people to death. I said Gu Shiyu, what did you do?"
Gu Shiyu glared at Youlande and said, "Do you think I will do something wrong?"
Unexpectedly, Yolande shook his head and said, "That's hard to say!"
Gu Shiyu angrily tugged at Yolande's beard, and Yolande shouted in pain: "Isn't it? You already like Catherine, why do you want to provoke Luna? Isn't that a bad thing?"
This sentence poked at the sore spot of Midani Shiyu again, and he slowly let go of Yolande's beard.
"Before I came to you, I went to Hook Bay. Luna tells me that she really didn't know you before, and that you must have mistaken someone. As a friend, she hopes that you will take good care of Catherine and not let her down. ”
Gu Shiyu nodded.
But Yolande was furious: "It's just like this, are you worthy of Luna?
Arago gestured to Yolande several times, but Yolande still said angrily: "Elago, don't wink at me, I know what you want to say, it's just that I'm afraid that he will run away again! But he did a really bad job, I don't scold him, is it still a friend?"
Gu Shiyu hung his head.
Seeing this, Yolande softened and sighed, "Don't bother Luna anymore, she'll calm down herself." Fortunately, you are not too devoted, so you should love Catherine wholeheartedly in the future!"
Gu Shiyu nodded guiltily and said, "Lao You, you are my most sincere and intimate friend, I will remember your words." ”
Catherine heard Christine say that she had met Gu Shiyu in the west, and that he had promised to come back as soon as she was done, and although she nodded her head with a pretended indifference, she was very happy in her heart, and asked Eldred to stand at the head of the city every day, looking out of the city stupidly.
Christine took Adric to hunt around every day, Adric didn't want to fool around with him, but Christine persuaded him: "Adric, look at your beard, if you don't work up now, your family will be cut off from you!"
Adric shook his head and said, "I'll be ruined by you if I'm fooling around like this every day." If you really want to help me, then introduce me to a formal one!"
Christine scratched her head and thought for a while, and said, "When Her Royal Highness the Princess gave you a welcome banquet that day, there was a woman named Wellskai, do you have any impression of her?"
"You're talking about the commander of Her Highness Princess's bow and arrow corps, she's a widow, and she seems to be a little older. ”
"Phew, are you embarrassed to say that people are old? She has nothing to say about her appearance and temperament, and you may not be worthy of others. Let me tell you, I didn't beat her up for a day or two, but she saw that I had so many wives and refused to deal with me. If it weren't for my good friends, I wouldn't be willing to introduce you to you!"
"Okay, you can help me match!"
"I can help you match, but you still have to take the initiative to attack, you can't be a deserter. ”
"Phew! When did I become a deserter? If I want to die, I will also die on the battlefield, and the fatal wound must be in the direction of facing the enemy, not in the back, even if I lie down, it is definitely a big ** sky!"
"Is that thing still useful?" Christine touched Adric's crotch.
"Get out!" Adric gave Christine a gesture with a hand.
Adric was once a well-known hero of Erathia, and had a prominent family background, and Wellskai admired him very much, and the two were married after only a few days of love.
The wedding took place in Catherine's palace, and in recognition of their incomparable loyalty and meritorious service, Catherine specially set aside a small courtyard in the palace as the new residence of Adric and Wilskai.
After the wedding of the abbot Catherine, she did not stay long. She came to the city gate alone and stared blankly at the darkness of the city.
Although she was happy for Adric and Wellske, she was also sad for herself. He will soon be thirty years old, and in Erathia, the average woman is ready to talk about marriage after menarche, and by the time she is her age, she already has a large group of children.
She came to the Lost Lands for a purpose. She has only one heir, her father and mother, and she must find her father's sword and bring it back to Erathia, so that she will become the veritable queen of Erathia and end the battle for the throne in the court. It's just that she didn't expect that after so many years of penance, she still couldn't pull out the sword, and in desperation, she had to swear that whoever pulled out the sword would marry, who would know that this sword was so difficult to pull?
If no one can draw the sword yet, she will really become an old girl who can't get married!
Gu Shiyu, you ...... Can you draw a sword?
Suddenly, there was some movement around Catherine. She looked around, and it turned out that it was Adridrid who had come to accompany her.
"Why don't you go with your uncle, today is the big day of your Bolin family. Catherine looked at her loyal and considerate best friend and smiled slightly.
"Oh, Christine isn't a human being at all, she's just an old rascal! Eldred blushed.
Adric and Wellskai entered the cave early, and Christine still led a large group of people downstairs to drink five and six, and one by one they were drunk and staggered.
Draped in his pajamas, Adric sneaks open the door, only to be spotted by Christine right away.
"Adric, what's the matter, are you disarming so quickly, if you want to rest, I'll be happy to take your place!"
The crowd erupted in laughter.
Adric wanted to hide back, but Christine shouted, "Don't be too anxious to get back to the bride, tell us about it! You can't forget your brother just because you have a bride!"
Adric had no choice but to walk downstairs and laugh at himself, "I'm just having a dry mouth and wanting a glass of water." ”
Christine jumped on the table and said loudly, "Adric, you say, did you go deep into the land of Erathia just now?"
Adric nodded happily, "Yes, but I thought it was done with its back like a horse, but I didn't expect it to be able to do it face to face." ”
The crowd erupted in laughter. Christine raised her glass and shouted, "Come, brothers, salute Erathia!"
People drank their glasses in one gulp, and then banged their empty glasses on the table.
Wellskai appeared upstairs and shouted at Adric, "Adric, what are you doing?"
"Wilskai, if you can still walk, it means that Adric is not working hard enough!"
The crowd erupted in laughter again, and Wellskai blushed and retreated.
Kristen didn't know that Gu Shiyu had returned. If he knew, he wouldn't have stayed there and made jokes about Adric.
"Oh my God, Guzi, what have you done?" Catherine stroked the demon horn on Gu Shiyu's head in distress, and couldn't help but shed tears.
"What should I do?" said Eledred, anxious.
The guild mentor and the giant sickle also hurried over, and couldn't help but be surprised to see Gu Shiyu become like this!
"Son, why are you so confused, why can't you recognize that this is a ruse by Zoro!" the tutor shook his head.
"I see that Zoro is just a kind old man, and he is still half-paralyzed in a wheelchair, how can he harm me?" Gu Shiyu said puzzled.
The Scythe paused, "All you see is Sauron's disguise, which he is very good at! His real body is a black mist, but it is darker and thicker than yours. And he doesn't have to walk, he floats in the air when he fights. He's a terrifying ghost in his own right, and I didn't expect you to be like that!"
Gu Shiyu looked at the divine bow in his hand and couldn't help but say: "I once argued with Zoro that he said that there is no good or evil in weapons, and any weapon is actually a tool for killing. I think so, that's why I'm fooled. ”
"Sauron is a servant of Hades, the king of Hades, and he has been looking for another agent of Hades in the world. Originally formless, Hades used the tears of the gods as bait to tempt greedy people to sacrifice to him, so that he could gain flesh and blood and begin to be reborn. When you successfully sacrifice in the Dark Temple, you are effectively making a contract with the demons. As long as a person has greed, evil will erode his heart, and you will struggle between good and evil for the rest of your life. If misfortune allows evil thoughts to triumph over reason, you will become like Sauron, and you will be reduced to a state from which you will never recover. ”
"What should I do, what should I do?" Catherine and Adridrid were already crying, and Gu Shiyu was drenched in a cold sweat.
The mentor asked, "Gu Shiyu, what are you going to do?"
"I don't want to be a demon, I want to go to the Temple of Light to atone for my sins. ”
If you can think this way in your heart, it means that you are still an upright person. You have only been seduced, driven by the desires of your heart, and have done a wrong thing. But you can still distinguish between right and wrong, and you are still alive if you are kind. I believe that someone as smart and self-aware as you can do whatever you want. Now there are two ways for you to be yourself again, one is to gain the alliance of angels so that you can bathe in the light of the angels at any time and purify your soul, and the other is to begin your ascetic journey of atonement. ”
Catherine wiped away her tears and cried out happily: "Mentor, didn't you say that the King's Sword is the Prophetic Sword? Gu Shiyu's Angel Alliance is only one Prophetic Sword!"
When the tutor heard Catherine's words, he also rejoiced: "Yes, then let's go to the king's tomb and witness the moment when the miracle happens!"
Everyone first accompanied Gu Shiyu to the pool of holy light, and Gu Shiyu increased all the accumulated primordial gods to his strength, and then walked out.
"How?" asked Catherine.
"I've increased my strength to level nine, and my stamina and health have only reached level seven. ”
"The strength of the ninth level is already at its peak, but it's a pity that the stamina is not enough, so you are not the strongest yet. Go draw your sword and try it, may the gods of heaven bless you!"
When everyone came to the king's tomb, Gu Shiyu pulled out for a long time, but the king's sword was still motionless.
Isn't Gu Shiyu the chosen one? Catherine's face was sad, and she was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Everyone looked at each other. There was still a glimmer of hope in the mentor's heart, and he said, "It's okay! I believe that if his stamina and health reach the peak, he will be able to draw the sword." Gu Shiyu, you better prepare for the journey of atonement first! You can only be barefoot, perform three prostrations and nine bows at sunrise and sunset, and walk to the Temple of Light, and you must not kill or eat meat along the way. Hardships and hardships will sharpen your mind, and only if you are sincere enough will you be favored by God. You see, God is watching over you from heaven!"
Gu Shiyu nodded and said, "I won't let you down." I'll leave early tomorrow morning, I don't want anyone to see me like this. ”
Catherine burst into tears. I finally looked forward to his return, but I didn't expect to leave tomorrow. She had secretly made up her mind that if Gu Shiyu couldn't pull out the king's sword, she would go to Yolande and Ju Lei to exchange for the prophetic sword in their hands at any cost, or even start a war!
The mentor and the giant sickle watched Gu Shiyu and Catherine and Adridrid leave silently. The giant scythe whispered, "Gu Shiyu may not be the chosen one. If he hadn't weathered the journey of atonement and been able to cleanse him of his sins, I would have killed him without hesitation. You know, if he chooses to join forces with Sauron, a devastating catastrophe will happen in the Lost Lands!"
The mentor also whispered, "It's too early to say this, let's pray for him!"
But I don't think he believes in God. I reckon he rarely prayed to the gods, and perhaps the gods didn't know him at all. ”
