Volume 1 The Bronze Mask Chapter 50 The Gods Are Gone
"Your ...... No, does this bronze face of mine have any special role, or ability? “
After sending off the army and on the way back to Taoshan, Chen Yu asked Caiyun tentatively.
"Husband seems to care about it?"
"Just ask, it's weird...... Needless to say, if it's inconvenient! ”
After the ceremony, Caiyun reverted back to the appearance of a young girl who did not know anything about the world, and the high priest who called for wind and rain on the altar was like two people.
Seeing Chen Yu's small wings, he couldn't help but smile and said, "There's nothing that can't be said!" ”
"This mask is a token of the inheritance of the high priests of the past generations, and it is also a status symbol, which has been passed down for thousands of years, but no one has ever actually worn it!"
Chen Yuqi said: "So precious? You send it to me, and no one will trouble you? ”
Caiyun said: "I was born as a high priest, and I don't need to use a dead thing to prove my identity. If anyone really is embarrassed by this...... Then the high priest will not do it! ”
"Anyway, I didn't think it was boring, it's really boring, and I don't want to go down the mountain to have fun!"
Chen Yu listened to it funny, it turns out that you have long had the idea of picking a child, but when it comes to work, you are very serious.
"Wouldn't it be nice to be a high priest? So many people obey your orders, listen to your command, and even save so much treasure! ”
"Whoever likes to be it, I don't like it anyway."
Chen Yu saw her with a worried face, and couldn't help asking, "You have lost your smiling face since last night, and you have encountered difficulties?" ”
Caiyun was silent for a moment, and smiled reluctantly: "I'm afraid that it won't be long before Jinsha Country will have no position as a high priest?" ”
"Why?" Chen Yu asked suspiciously.
"Pay attention to your identity, there are some things you can inquire about." Caiyun's face suddenly sank, his eyes were filled with coldness, and his voice was as cold as a thousand-year-old glacier.
Chen Yu didn't know why she suddenly turned her face, but the feeling of oppression from above made his hairs stand up, and he didn't dare to say more.
Seeing her appearance, Caiyun suddenly snorted, and burst into a burst of silver bell-like ringing, and her bright smile dispelled the dark clouds in the sky.
"Teasing you!"
"Husband is so funny, he is also serious!"
The corners of Chen Yu's mouth twitched, his face was a little unbearable, and he barely found the venue, "Aren't I cooperating with you to perform!" ”
Caiyun suddenly approached, and the autumn water seemed to clearly reflect Chen Yu's face in his eyes, and the heat of his breath hit Chen Yu's neck, making him dizzy for a while, and his heartbeat was much faster.
Chen Yu's body shrank back unconsciously, and his gaze was a little evasive.
Caiyun got a little closer and said, "Why are you so afraid of me? ”
"I didn't ...... No! ”
"You just don't believe me!"
"How...... How so? ”
"Then you are...... Shy? ”
This sentence seemed to have violated some taboo, Chen Yu suddenly straightened up, and his gaze met Caiyun. There was only a thin line between the faces of the two, and they were almost about to touch.
"Nonsense! I'm going to be shy because of your little girl who is not a few years older than July? Today, I'm going to teach you what a bad guy is! ”
Caiyun blinked, not evading.
After looking at each other for a moment, Chen Yuxian was defeated and staggered his gaze.
Caiyun said proudly: "You are just shy!" A big man, so thin-skinned! ”
“……“
"Well, there's no one here, no one can help you. Let me ask you one more question, what kind of girls do you like? Do you like ...... Me? ”
Chen Yu wanted to answer immediately, but he couldn't say anything when the words came to his lips.
It's not that he hasn't experienced women, the homeless people in the wasteland were enlightened very early, and there are many young people who become married and have children in their teens. And he himself not only said "like" to a woman, but even said colored jokes and scolded each other.
But this time is a little different from the past, the two words that can be blurted out suddenly become as heavy as a thousand pounds. It seems that as soon as you say it, it becomes a real burden, a responsibility, and even a ...... Emotion!
Why is this happening, Chen Yu was suddenly a little confused. He has always believed in usefulness, and in order to accomplish his tasks, he has more than once resorted to dishonorable means, using trust, naivety, stupidity, and even goodwill as weapons that can be used.
This time it should have been the same, but in the face of the girl's clear pupils, he suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt, like the overwhelm and self-doubt that his heart was dominated by confusion and fear before the first time he killed with his own hands.
He suddenly realized that when he met someone special, "liking" is not a stroke of words, but a pure and sacred emotion, an accidental but destined soul resonance between people.
But he was still confused, what exactly did "like" mean, and the strange feeling he had when he stayed by Caiyun's side, was it "like"?
He couldn't tell. What if not? Moreover, I came to this place called Jinsha Country inexplicably, and my future fate became confusing, and the future was unknown. He must return to his own side of the world.
I am destined to be just a passerby, how can I irresponsibly make a promise of "like" with a beautiful girl because of a momentary favor! If she disappears inexplicably one day, how will she be left behind?
Chen Yu's thoughts were tangled into a mess, and he didn't speak for a long time.
The light in Caiyun's eyes gradually dimmed, and he was a little lost, but he still said with a smile:
"Shy again! It's okay, it's enough that I like you! ”
Chen Yu saw her gloomy appearance, the position of his chest ached faintly, and he wanted to say generously: I like you too.
But just looking at her, I had used up all my courage, and I no longer had the strength to say those two words that should have been so short and weightless.
Caiyun had already turned around, his fingers caressed a peach blossom that came out of the side of the road, and said in a complicated tone:
"I'm afraid I'm the last high priest of Jinsha Country!"
Chen Yu couldn't wait to immediately change the topic and free himself from his tangled state of mind, and immediately asked, "Why do you say that?" ”
Saiyun explained, "The high priest is the messenger of the sun god in the world, and he can convey the prayers of the believers to the gods, and then give back the gifts of the gods to the believers. It is like a carrier pigeon that carries messages between the heavenly and human realms. ”
"But this time the ceremony has changed. I...... I can't feel the gaze of the sun god! At that time, I was terrified, thinking that I would be rejected by the gods, but I managed to carry out all the rituals. ”
In retrospect, I felt that the feeling was not disgust, but ...... Indifferently! ”
Chen Yu frowned, carefully analyzed her description, and suddenly felt that there was something that didn't make sense.
But the sun god still bestowed a divine favor...... So it could be your delusion. ”
Caiyun shook his head firmly: "No." In fact, I have had this feeling since a few years ago, that the sun god is getting farther and farther away from us. This time the feeling is especially obvious. ”
"Maybe it won't be long before the sun god is gone completely. And the high priest, who is the messenger of the gods, will become mortal. ”
"Will you take me away on that day? An ordinary woman, no wealth, no status, are you still willing? ”
This time, Chen Yu nodded without any hesitation.
The girl suddenly kissed like a dragonfly, and then stuck out her tongue:
"Lie to you, fool! You are my husband, if you really want to leave, I will take you away! ”
