Gu Shiyu stood in the tavern, staring blankly at the bloodstains on his hands. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The blood was new, and it was dripping little by little......

Oh my God, what did you do?

The tavern was littered with fallen corpses and tattered tables and chairs. A man covered in blood was struggling to crawl out the door, shouting as he crawled, "Come on, help!

Gu Shiyu jumped over, grabbed the man's hair, slammed it to the ground, and shouted angrily: "I let you shout the demon!

Blood stains and brains splattered everywhere, and a little bit was also splashed in Gu Shiyu's mouth. The taste was salty, a little warm, and a little fishy, which aroused his bloodthirsty desire even more.

Layers of soldiers had already gathered around the door, and bows and arrows rained down. Gu Shiyu grabbed a table casually, held it in front of him, shouted, and rushed over, invincible.

Gu Shiyu didn't know how many people he had killed! He was already red-eyed, waving the long sword in his hand, chopping melons and vegetables, regardless of military and civilian, gender, old and young, until there was no longer a living person in the entire town.

The doors of every house were shut. Gu Shiyu held a torch and wandered like a black ghost, setting fire to the houses everywhere until the whole dead wood forest burst into flames. He laughed aloud, and the horrible laughter wafted over the town, overpowering the crackling of the fire and the terrible screams of the inhabitants in the fire.

Now the whole of Deadwood belongs to me, and I want to build this place into a black castle, and then gather all the evil forces to ravage and conquer the whole of the Lost Lands!

A knight burst out of the flames. Gu Shiyu didn't think twice, the tears of the gods were in his hands, and he fired two arrows in succession, shooting the knight off his horse.

"Valley...... Son, it's me!" the voice sounded familiar. Gu Shiyu walked over with the long sword, and the blood rolled down the blood groove on the long sword little by little.

It was a dwarf with unkempt beard, with a long arrow stuck in his chest and the other in his throat. The dwarf clutched his hands around his throat, but blood still gushed out.

"Yoland, why are you?" Gu Shiyu was taken aback, hurriedly threw down his sword, knelt down on his knees, and pressed his wound hard.

A miserable smile appeared on Yoland's face, and he said, "Guzi, you ...... You finally recognize me?"

"Don't talk, I'll bandage you right away!"

Bubbles bulged in Yoland's throat, and blood poured out as he breathed. He shook his head weakly and said with difficulty, "It's useless...... Guzi, don't worry about me, Her Royal Highness the princess is here...... Waiting for you outside ...... town."

As soon as Gu Shiyu looked up, he saw Catherine, who was bathed in fire and stared at herself!

What kind of gaze was that?helplessness?heartache?despair?grief and indignation?Gu Shiyu couldn't tell the difference, and could only watch all the expressions turn into tears and rush out of Catherine's eyes......

Catherine nodded desolate at him, then jumped into the flames!

"Catherine!"

Gu Shiyu screamed and sat up from the bed suddenly!

......

There was no blood in the room, no sky-high fire outside the window, only the faint glow of the charcoal fire in the fireplace.

Outside the window, you could hear the heart-rending screams of the people, only the rustle of snow falling on the roofs and branches of the trees.

Did you have a nightmare?

It's just that this dream is so terrible!

Do you really do such a thing? What is a dream and what is reality?

Gu Shiyu felt a chill all over his body, and sweat had soaked through his clothes. He held his head in his hands, not wanting to recall the terrible scene, but it was as if it had happened, and even if he deliberately avoided it, it was still vivid and creepy to his bones.

All day the next day, Gu Shiyu didn't have any energy at all, and stayed in the dark corner of the tavern. Seeing him like this, Resa asked a few questions, but didn't ask why, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him, and went to play in the snow on his own.

At night, the rain was still a nightmare, and I woke up from my dream in the middle of the night, covered in cold sweat.

This lasted for three days, and Gu Shiyu's mental state was extremely low. He didn't understand that he had been in the wild for so many days, not to mention nightmares, he had never had a dream, he basically slept until dawn, and now he came to the dead woods, and the living environment was much more comfortable, why did he have nightmares every day?

Could it be that you are full of warm thoughts****?

Could it be that the journey of atonement really has to strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically?

Could it be that evil really invaded his heart, which made him have the same nightmare every day?

Could it be a sign of what's coming?

In any case, Gu Shiyu didn't want to stay in the dead wood forest anymore. It's a hell of a place, and you'll go crazy if you stay any longer.

But the heavy snow shows no signs of stopping. Gu Shiyu didn't want to wait any longer, and told Renesas his thoughts.

Renesa is very strange, this is not like Gu Shiyu's personality. But she lived well in the dead woods, played snowball fights with her friends every day, built snowmen, and had a lot of fun, so she didn't want to go to the wild to endure hunger and cold. Gu Shiyu was not reluctant, and after asking the way to the Temple of Light, he bought some warm clothes and food in the market, and then led the horse and set off in knee-deep snow.

After the heavy snowfall, the snow and ice began to melt, and the roads were muddy, making it even more difficult to walk. But Gu Shiyu did not regret his decision, at least when he walked out of the dead woods, he was no longer bothered by the nightmare.

More than ten days later, Gu Shiyu finally arrived at the Temple of Light.

At this time, Gu Shiyu was completely like a true atonementer. His face was covered with dense beard stubble and chapped from the wind and frost, his ears and palms were black and purple, the blanket on his body was also scratched by thorns, his broken shoes were exposed with his toes in front and his heels in the back, and a wooden stick was in his hand. If it weren't for the tall dark horse he was leading by his side to prove his identity, he would be a flower child.

The Temple of Light is all made of white marble, which looks solemn and majestic. In front of the tall arch, a priest dressed in white was looking at him motionlessly, wondering if he was Somra, the chief shaman of the Temple of Light, Ressa's father. Gu Shiyu licked his chapped lips, bowed down and said, "My name is Gu Shiyu, and I am an atonement from the Heroes Guild. ”

The shaman nodded and said, "You arrived a lot earlier than I expected. Come in first, and we'll judge whether your journey of atonement is worthy. ”

Gu Shiyu's heart is not good. My journey of atonement was a complete mess, and I don't know how many precepts I had broken.

"You barely bowed to the gods, put on warm clothes and shoes, drank wine, ate meat, killed many lives, and stole from the gods. Am I right?" said the white-robed priest as he stared at Gu Shiyu's eyes.

Gu Shiyu was very worried in his heart, how could this shaman know so clearly? Could it be that Ressa used a crystal ball to report on his journey performance?

"You are definitely not a devout atonement!" the white-robed priest shook his head, "If I had to judge, I would not hesitate to drive you out of the temple." Alas, whether you can atone for your sins or not, let the gods judge!"

Entering the archway, the first thing is a dedication table. A priest came up and said, "How much are you going to offer to the gods as the atoning one?"

Do the gods in heaven want money?

Gu Shiyu's dragon stomach package contained a large bag of gold coins prepared by Catherine, which was basically not used much. In the past, when he was studying in college, when he had no money in the middle of the month, Gu Shiyu would be very picky, going to the university cafeteria every day to knock on the rice basin, or looking for others to rub rice, calculating until the end of the month;

Fortunately, now was the time when he was particularly rich, so he did not hesitate to pour the entire bag of gold coins on the donation table, which was more than 2,000 gold coins.

The white-robed shaman was satisfied. He said to Gu Shiyu: "It seems that you are still pious to the gods in your heart, and you don't think about keeping some for yourself." He didn't expect the Lord in front of him to be so virtuous.

"The gods don't ask for your gold, it's just a test for you. We will use these gold coins to give alms, give porridge, heal the sick, and benefit the people of the Lost Land. After all, there are so many people in need of help in this world. The white-robed priest continued, "To enter the Temple of Light and become a servant of the gods, you must not have any personal belongings. Please leave all your belongings outside the temple and we will have someone to take care of them for you. ”

A gray-robed priest stepped forward and took Gu Shiyu's horses and parcels with him.

Behind the donation table is a pool of thin ice. The white-robed priest nodded to Gu Shiyu and said, "Including all the clothes on your body." ”

Gu Shiyu took off only a pair of pants, but the white-robed shaman still signaled to continue. Gu Shiyu had no choice but to take off his pants and stand naked in front of everyone, like a turkey that had been plucked clean.

A man may be very willing to **** in front of a woman, but it does take a lot of courage to go bare-ass in front of a group of big men.

Gu Shiyu walked into the pool, and the icy pool water almost froze all the protruding parts of his body. The white-robed priest put his hand on Gu Shiyu's head and pressed him into the pool.

Gu Shiyu didn't expect that such a weak shaman and scholar would have such a strong power on his wrist, he was simply a strong warrior. He held his breath as the icy chill invaded his limbs.

The surrounding priests had solemn expressions and began to chant the scriptures.

But this verse sounds long. More than a minute later, Gu Shiyu had already begun to spit bubbles like a goldfish, helplessly struggling with the five-fingered mountain of the Buddha on top of his head?

Could it be that this is the baptism of legend?

When the white-robed priest let go, Gu Shiyu was like a dead fish, spreading his limbs and floating on the water. The shamans fished him out and threw him on the marble floor.

After half a ring, Gu Shiyu began to vomit, spitting out the water in his abdomen and lungs.

The white-robed shaman waited for Gu Shiyu to come to his senses before he said, "You just met the gods frankly, and it seems that death is not ready to favor you." God has decided to continue to save your body and soul, and in the Holy Pool, you have been purified and born again. ”

The white-robed shaman continued to lead Gu Shiyu backwards, and came to a burning place, the scorching temperature made people dare not get too close.

"We can't go back in time, so we can't undo what we've done. Everyone usually rediscovers himself from himself, or from the suffering of others. It is only after experiencing hesitation and pain that your heart becomes alert, and it is like a brand that reminds you all the time. Now you have to make a choice, because only you can really decide who you want to be. Of course, this choice may be a double-edged sword, one that will make your body suffer and one that will make your soul suffer. ”

Gu Shiyu smiled bitterly: "Actually, I haven't figured out why I need to come to the Temple of Light to atone for my sins. I just made a sacrifice to the Dark Temple and got a handful of Tears of the Gods. Aside from the black mist and demonic horns growing on my head, I felt like I was myself, and nothing had changed inside me. ”

"Demons are born from the heart, and the demons in our hearts are all created by ourselves. If we do not defeat the evil in our hearts, everything we love will die and be buried, and the world will be left with only indulgence, ugliness and strife, and only endless cold and long nights, without warmth and light. You now have a demonic body, and you may not have a demonic heart yet, but evil will always tempt you. Evil intentions will lead you to evil actions until you join forces with demons and fall into the dark abyss from which you will never recover. Now you still have time, and you can still save. ”

Gu Shiyu said: "I often wonder, what kind of god created this world, why is there endless ugliness, lust and violence everywhere, and beauty and innocence only deserve oppression, poverty and death?"

"There is light and darkness, and there is beauty and ugliness in the world. It's just because of people's wrong decisions and choices that the world is in chaos. Some people will choose to yearn for the light, while others will choose to wander in the darkness. Like you, Sauron also sacrificed to demons to obtain the Doomsday Blade, but when he came to the Temple of Light, he chose the God of Darkness and stopped to leave the Burning Lands. No matter what a person's past is, the most important thing is the choice of the future, which is the reason for the existence of the Temple of Light. I've told you so much, now do you have your own choice?"

"In that case, I still choose to suffer physically, I will not deceive my soul and thus make it suffer for the rest of my life. ”

"Then you can begin! I'll be there to pray for you. Your wickedness will rise with your steps towards the light, and then fade away. ”

Gu Shiyu still seems to understand a little bit why the journey of atonement requires barefoot. Fortunately, the soles of his feet have long been ground into thick calluses, hoping to use this to quickly pass through the burning land.

A shaman, however, placed a heavy cross on his back, so that he could only walk step by step.

There are many legends in the world about going up to the knife mountain and going down to the sea of fire, could it be that Gu Shiyu Daxia has learned what hard qigong, or is it possessed by gods?

This is perhaps known only to him. However, after walking through the sea of fire, Gu Shiyu did not walk for a month, and wore black robes all day long, sitting in the Temple of Light and reciting scriptures.
