Chapter 14: The Journey of Atonement (2)
Catherine didn't sleep a night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She packed a lot of things for Gu Shiyu, and then sat next to Gu Shiyu, who was sleeping, looking at him motionlessly.
Gu Shiyu, will you really become a demon?
Would you like to be yourself again for my sake?
But Catherine didn't feel that Gu Shiyu had changed anything, he was still so kind and free, and there was still a bright smile on his face.
At dawn, Eldred knocked lightly on the door and said, "Your Highness Princess, the mentor and the giant sickle have gone to the south gate, you can wake him up!"
"Got it. Catherine wiped her face haphazardly, and then shouted out the door, "You go and call Yoland, and ask him to see him off outside the south gate." ”
Adridrid answered, and the sound of the footsteps faded away.
Gu Shiyu is still asleep. Catherine couldn't bear to wake him up, but it was time to go. She hesitated for a moment, but finally pushed him awake.
"Guzi, Guzi, it's time to get up, everyone is waiting for you outside the south gate!"
Gu Shiyu turned over and muttered, "I won't go today, I'll go tomorrow." Don't make any noise, let me get some sleep!"
Catherine was in a quandary, but it seemed that there was no better way than to get him up.
As soon as Gu Shiyu opened his eyes, he saw Catherine's red eyes. He immediately got up and said, "What's wrong with you, are you crying?"
"I didn't...... It should be that I didn't rest at night!" Catherine avoided Gu Shiyu's gaze and said, "I have prepared your travel clothes for you, you can change them first!"
Gu Shiyu obediently changed into Ge Yi, then looked at Catherine's back, and couldn't help but sigh.
Catherine turned around and saw that Gu Shiyu was thin, and put a blanket on him again. "I've put your gear and any other things you might need in a dragon stomach wrap, and I've put some food and rum for you. ”
"Hmm. ”
"The stick next to the bedside is also for you. The instructor said that you can't kill, if a monster comes, if you can get rid of it, you can chase it, and if you can't get rid of it, try to get out of the way. ”
"Hmm. But the teacher said, "I can't wear shoes, I have to walk barefoot." ”
It's already winter, and it's so cold, can you stand it barefoot?
"Uh...... It's so early, the gods in the sky shouldn't have gotten up yet. You put it on first and take it off when it's warm during the day, I don't think they will know about it for a while. ”
"Hmm. ”
Catherine hung her head, and Gu Shiyu felt sad for a while. He pulled Catherine over and gently took her in his arms.
The two hugged for a moment, and Gu Shiyu said, "Catherine, can you forgive me?"
"Hmm. ”
"I'll be back soon. ”
"Hmm. ”
"I ...... I will love you for the rest of my life, and I will never make you angry again, and I will never let you shed tears again. ”
"Hmm. Catherine looked up and said, "I believe in you." ”
There was another soft knock on the door.
Neither of them wanted to say the word "go", but they just held hands and walked towards the door with a tacit understanding.
Eldred had led the to the garden. She took the huge dragon stomach package in Gu Shiyu's hand and put it on the horse's back, while Catherine handed the wooden stick to Gu Shiyu.
None of them wanted to speak, and silently left the castle, through the town of Baulston, and came to the south gate.
The Mentor, Scythe, and Yolander had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When Yolande saw Gu Shiyu, he was dressed like an embarrassed beggar, and his expression was very strange, as if he had devoured a dead cockroach.
The mentor couldn't help frowning when he saw Gu Shiyu with a horse and a large bag of things. Gu Shiyu, what you are going to do is a journey of atonement, you can't be greedy for enjoyment along the way, it's almost the same to bring a wooden stick.
The scythe was also angry. He stared at Gu Shiyu and said, "Didn't you say that you want to be barefoot, why are you still wearing shoes?"
Gu Shiyu had no choice but to take off his shoes, stepping barefoot in the cold and biting ice of the early frost, and couldn't help but shiver a few times.
Catherine tossed Yolandra aside and whispered something to him. Yoland's expression was stunned, looking very embarrassed.
"Your Royal Highness, I will not be stingy with my life for him, but I will never give him the King's Sword. You know, this sword does not belong to me alone, it carries the future and destiny of a country. ”
Catherine blushed and whispered, "I'm sorry I made too much of a request from you. ”
Yolande shook his head and said, "It's nothing, please continue to believe in my friendship and loyalty to him, and I will always accompany him on his journey of atonement." ”
"What do you want to do, Yoland?" said the Scythe angrily, "Are you going to travel with him, and with you by his side, how can he endure the necessary pain and suffering to complete the journey of atonement?"
It was getting lighter. Gu Shiyu bowed to everyone and said, "I'm leaving! Thank you, I will complete the journey of atonement as soon as possible." ”
Gu Shiyu didn't dare to look back. He knew that everyone was silently watching him from behind, but he didn't dare to face Catherine's dejected eyes.
There are clothes that can't be worn, shoes can't be worn, and horses can't be ridden, Gu Shiyu only walked a few kilometers, and he deeply realized what it means to atone for his sins.
Walking barefoot on the gravel-covered road, the pain of my feet piercing my heart. Gu Shiyu sat down against the tree and raised his feet to check.
Oh my God, the feet were covered in blisters, some of them were worn out and bleeding. Gu Shiyu pinched the blisters one by one, and inhaled the cold air in pain. Alas, I was really unlucky.
Oh no, the guru said that at sunrise and sunset, I have to bow three times and bow nine times, and I didn't think about it at all when I left in the morning.
Isn't it too late to make up for it?
But now the sun has risen very high.
The devil knows if there is a god in the heavens watching over them! They may be too busy to be interested in this kind of. Besides, I only forgot it once, and God is generally open-minded and generous, so he should not blame himself.
It's just that this foot hurts so much that I can't keep going. Who said you can't wear shoes on a journey of atonement, it's disgusting.
Gu Shiyu tore off a large piece of bark from the trunk behind him, the bark was very thick and tough, and Gu Shiyu was very satisfied. He tore a few strips of cloth from his clothes and made a pair of bark shoes.
God, you have to know that such a thing can't be called a shoe, and my brother didn't break the rules.
The package contained a large amount of food prepared by Catherine, which was delicious, and a large bag of rum. Gu Shiyu comfortably finished breakfast, packed up, and continued on the road.
Even though I wore bark shoes, my feet still hurt from my heart. Several times Gu Shiyu cursed and wanted to climb on the horse's back, but finally held back.
For Catherine's sake, what is it to suffer a little.
In the afternoon, Gu Shiyu suddenly found that two werewolves were blocking the way. The werewolf groaned in his throat, prostrate on all fours, slowly approaching, and leaping forward.
In the face of a few werewolves, Gu Shiyu didn't need to pay attention to it at all now. It's just that the Guru once admonished that the journey of atonement should not kill, and that's a big problem.
Can you run on two legs over four legs? Not to mention that your feet are now like they have a thousand needles pierced.
Gu Shiyu brandished a wooden stick and shouted loudly, trying to scare the werewolf away. But the werewolf was not like a human, not frightened by his evil appearance, and his eyes were still fixed on him. Look at that look, it's like staring at the dinner that is about to arrive.
The werewolf quickly pounced. Gu Shiyu dodged sideways and gave one of the werewolves a hard stick, smashing it to the side, but the other werewolf pounced on the woman.
The woman screamed and began to flee, its teeth no match those of a werewolf, at most like a donkey's donkey, occasionally angry and hoofing.
Gu Shiyu didn't wait for the werewolf to get up, a violent rush over, the werewolf was knocked out a few meters away, wailed a few times, stretched out his feet, and actually lost his breath!
It's over, it's not long before the violation, and now I've accidentally broken the killing ring again! Gu Shiyu has only added strength attributes, how can I know the severity?
What should I do now? Gu Shiyu was stunned!
Heaven and earth conscience, I really didn't want to kill, this was a complete accident!
The was chased by the werewolf and ran around, Gu Shiyu wanted to catch up and relieve the siege, but he limped and couldn't run at all.
Your sister, you damn werewolf, don't bite my slut to death! Gu Shiyu was evil and angry: Brother has already killed anyway, so why not kill one more? He spread his hand, and the tears of the gods appeared in his hand, but unfortunately there were no arrows to shoot.
Do those who are good at shooting have to have arrows? The top masters of martial arts generally have no sword in their hands and a sword in their hearts, and they have already reached the advanced realm of the unity of man and sword.
Gu Shiyu hoped that the werewolf would be like a frightened bird, hearing the sound of the bowstring, and immediately falling to the ground and dying.
However, as soon as Gu Shiyu pulled the bow, he found that a dark red arrow automatically appeared on the bowstring, which made him very excited.
A baby is a baby, and it's not the same as an ordinary bow and arrow. This thing is better than a machine gun, and the machine gun still has a time to run out of bullets.
Gu Shiyu aimed at the werewolf's strong ass and shot an arrow.
To be honest, Gu Shiyu aimed at the werewolf's buttocks, not to kill it, nor did he have any dirty thoughts in his heart, he just wanted to shoot it and make it retreat.
But the accident happened again! The arrow sank deep into the werewolf's hips, knocking it out and pinning it firmly to the tree, shaking its legs for a moment, and then sliding.
Grass! Now it's causing trouble again......
But I obviously didn't use much force, why did I shoot it?
Gu Shiyu finally summoned the to his side, and muttered secretly in his heart.
Before the day of the journey of atonement was over, he had already broken three precepts in a row! One was forgetting to bow down, the second was wearing shoes in violation of the rules, and the third was killing one after another in an instant.
I don't know how far we have to go, and I know how many times I will break the ring!
God, don't hide in the sky anymore and watch what I'm doing, just go to the Temple of Light and wait for me.
If the shamans of the Temple of Light knew that I had broken the vows so many times, would they still ignore me?
you! If I've traveled a long way, you won't allow me to atone for my sins, and see how I've beaten you all over the ground to find your teeth.
At dusk, Gu Shiyu avoided the main road, found a soil hole under a big tree, and began to prepare for camping.
The soil hole is not big, you can walk in it by bending over, and it is not deep, but there is a smell of feces in the hole, Gu Shiyu pinched his nose and grabbed a handful of feces to see, fortunately, there are many plant fibers and undigested plant seeds in the dung.
This is supposed to be the nest of some kind of large herbivore. The feces weren't particularly dry, and perhaps the owner, who liked to defecate in the open, wasn't away for long. Gu Shiyu didn't bother to think about it anymore, herbivores, no matter how powerful they were, they couldn't be much stronger. Brother will borrow your nest to rest today, since you are not here, there is no need to discuss the matter of rent with you.
Gu Shiyu began to get busy. Dry firewood needs to be collected in large quantities, and a campfire is lit at night to not only keep warm, but also to drive away wild animals.
Although the cave is a little smelly, it can be sheltered from the wind and rain. In winter, the temperature is very low, and it is much better to spread some branches and dead grass than to sleep directly in the cold underground.
The thug screamed suddenly, desperately trying to break free from the reins. Gu Shiyu was surprised, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a black shadow rushing towards him.
Gu Shiyu was startled and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it. The shadow could not hold back, and rushed headlong into the woods.
What is that? Could it be that the owner of the cave has returned?
Gu Shiyu held the divine bow and looked around vigilantly.
The shadow rushed at him shortly after. Gu Shiyu saw it squarely and nailed it to the ground with an arrow.
It was a huge wild boar, which seemed to weigh no less than two hundred kilograms. This animal is also very dangerous, and if it doesn't hit the vital point, the pain will make its attacks even more frenzied. If unfortunate enough to be hit by its massive fangs, whoever it is will be disemboweled, and then it will be very comfortable eating the entrails of its enemies.
If Hades knew that Gu Shiyu was shooting werewolves and wild boars with the powerful Tears of the Gods, he would have vomited blood in anger. That's a weapon that can shoot the gods, is there such a tyrannical thing as you?
Because of the disturbance of the wild boars, the prostrations at night were not held.
The bonfire was burning, and Gu Shiyu was unintentionally nibbling on the cold bread, but his eyes were always staring at the dead wild boar, and he was making a wrong decision in his heart.
To be honest, Gu Shiyu should be a carnivore, not an omnivorous. He couldn't eat without meat, except when he was so hungry that his belly was pressed against his back.
With such a large amount of fresh meat in front of him, do you think he can not be tempted?
God, please forgive me, I need to replenish a lot of protein and fat, otherwise where will I have the strength to go to the Temple of Light to worship you?
Wine and meat passed through the intestines, and the Buddha stayed in his heart. Didn't the senior brother of the family kill so many monsters on the way to the west, and he was also sealed to defeat the Buddha? Lu Zhishen, a flower monk of the people, and the five precepts and ten laws of Buddhism, he obeyed them, didn't he also have complete merits and eventually achieve positive results......? Uh, who else are they?
I can't remember, there should be a lot of them!
When Gu Shiyu thought about this, he was immediately relieved, humming a small tune in his mouth, and happily dismembered the wild boar.
Pork liver and pig heart, these are all good things, and the other internal organs are too difficult to get, so they should be thrown away. Wild boar meat is a rare delicacy, and Gu Shiyu cut them into small pieces, but it is impossible to take too much away.
Roasting pork liver and pig heart has already made Gu Shiyu full of burps and non-stop, and the four-legged pig's trotters will be roasted tomorrow.
He was accustomed to living in the wilderness, and as soon as he lay down, he snored loudly, and slept until the next day, when the sun dried his buttocks, and he naturally forgot to bow to the gods every morning.
