Chapter 12: The Cat Spirit on the Other Side of the Curtain
When I opened my eyes in the white night, the midday sun was brushing my face through the stained glass window. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It is a small, simple but well-organized room, with a shrine at the foot of the bed dedicated to the god-king Gogilde, whose mutilated left arm and blind eye covered by a black headband symbolize his devotion to the world. And his chest was entwined with thorns, and Bai Ye remembered the old sermon of the pastor who was proclaimed in front of the church: "He has wound the thorns of the world's sufferings around himself, and has opened a path of light for mortals." ā
Bai Ye tried to sit up, but felt a tearing pain in his chest, and he lifted the sheet to see that his chest was neatly wrapped with a white bandage.
Only then did he remember that yes, he was pierced through his chest by the sword tip fragment thrown by the Heavenly Evil, and it turned out that he was not dead. When he was unconscious, his consciousness floated in the dark sea of memories for a long time, and the past was entangled in his heart for a while, making him extremely depressed, and he did not feel happy to escape death at all.
In the past, he was obviously a murderer who didn't care about any courtesy, righteousness and shame as long as he could survive, and regarded human life like a mustard and had blood on his hands, why did he subconsciously push away the old wizard Patlem, obviously wanting to dodge in his heart, but he did the opposite thing in his hands. There was an indescribable change in him, since he sent the girl with the golden blood out of the Crow Castle, he had gradually lost that ruthlessness and decisiveness, and had become indecisive and indecisive.
He didn't want to do that, if he couldn't fight for survival as he did in the past, then one day, he would die in the garbage heap, who would save him? The answer was that no one, and the people who cared about him were already dead, burned in the raging flames that changed his fate. Now no one cares about their own life or death, even if it is bliss, it is just using itself, and when it loses its value, it will be completely abandoned.
It was a fate for himself to be with the old dog whose throat was cut in the garbage heap, but he would not end up with it.
Bai Ye gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
He struggled to get up on the bed, his strength seemed to have been drained, and his hands and feet were as soft as if they had no bones. As he took a step forward, he felt dizzy and dizzy, how long he had been in bed, how weak he had been.
He barely leaned against the wall, and slowly walked out of the room, and outside the cloister outside the door, there was a small garden in the midst of a cluster of houses, flourishing with vegetation and trees, completely unaffected by the early winter, and only then did the white night find that the air was also warm and warm, completely different from the cold and dry before.
A small milky white ghost cat silently crawled to its feet, although it had no entity, but when the breeze blew, its fluffy short fur was still blown and moved, and it looked at itself with a pair of eyes like red jade, with a kind of ignorant curiosity, it looked very smart and lovely.
"You're awake. ā
Odana's signature strange tone rang in his ears, and White Night looked up to see the Negro Soul Rider sitting cross-legged on the lawn of the garden, not wearing the same set of chain mail he had seen before, but a long cloth of bright colors wrapped around his shoulders downwards, a necklace of teeth around his neck, and his black skin covered in tattoos of wild beasts. Although his scabbard was empty, it still hung around his waist, and his whole person looked energetic.
Why did he suddenly appear there? I didn't see him on the lawn just now.
"You ......"
As soon as the white night talk began, he couldn't help coughing, his throat was dry and itchy, and he was very thirsty.
"Is there any water?"
"Of course, my brother. ā
Odda nodded, and he picked up a leather pot from the lawn and threw it to White Night.
Bai Ye took the flying leather pot with both hands, unscrewed the lid, and raised his head to take a sip. After drinking, he wiped his mouth with a strange expression on his face.
Seeing Bai Ye's expression, Oda scratched his scalp and suddenly said, "Oh, it's wine, you may not be used to it." ā
"No, I think it's just right. ā
Bai Ye choked on another big sip after speaking, and the wine was left down the corner of his mouth.
The black man laughed, revealing a mouth full of white and neat teeth: "Interesting, brother, come and sit next to me." ā
After a little hesitation, Bai Ye walked around the little ghost cat in front of him and walked to the lawn beside Oda and sat down, just as he also had a lot of questions to ask him.
"Where are we?"
"You call this the Chapel of Thorns, and it's full of fierce priests who ask me not to drink here, saying that it is breaking the precepts, so I have to pour wine into a kettle and wear it on my body, and you will have a drink as soon as you wake up, and you will be lucky. ā
It was in Uptown, I had never been there, I had only begged in front of the church in Midtown in the past, but I didn't expect such a warm climate in the church, and Bai Yegang thought that he was taken south when he was injured and unconscious.
"I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect you to be able to heal even this kind of injury. ā
Bai Ye sighed.
"Generally speaking, if you are pierced in the heart with a sharp weapon, you will surely die. Odda looked solemn and patted Bai Ye's shoulder: "But you were injured to save Master Patlem, and you fulfilled your sacred duty as a guard on my behalf, for which I am grateful." But even if you save just an ordinary person, I can't watch a noble soul pass away in front of me. ā
Bai Ye couldn't help but be silent, and after a while, he continued: "So, it was you who saved me, and it is me who should say thank you." ā
Odda shook his head, and he pointed to the milky ghost kitten resting in the sun.
"It's not so much that I saved you, it's that this cat spirit saved you. ā
"Cat Spirit?"
Bai Ye was surprised, it was this kitten who saved himself? It's unimaginable.
"When your heart is pierced and you fall in a pool of blood, no amount of medicine or sorcery can save you. But at this time, I felt the throbbing of this cat spirit on the other side of the tent, and he was willing to come into this world and sacrifice one of his lives to save you. Don't underestimate this gift, the cat spirit has three tails, and each tail represents an opportunity to be reborn. And this cat spirit is particularly extraordinary, it was a great warrior who fought bravely against the evil gods in order to fight against evil during the war of the ancient gods. But even then, it was killed only once. ā
"Now that it has given you its second soul, it has lost most of its power, which is why it has taken on this form. ā
Bai Ye touched the location of his heart, I see, but is his life really worth sacrificing so much to save the cat spirit.
