In the drowsiness and haze, Li Ting seemed to have come to the pyramid again, this time there was no one else by her side, as long as she wandered around in it, the pyramid at this time did not seem to be dilapidated and depressed when she first saw it, and the wooden ones on both sides of the road were stone grass and stone axes, and a line of pedestrians shuttled back and forth quickly, they were all wearing simple animal skin linen skirts, and their skin was tanned to wheat, but they were all frowning, and they didn't know what they were worried about.

Li Ting stood in a daze, watching a figure shuttle quickly, quite a feeling of being in a three-dimensional broadcast of a fast lens.

Just when Li Ting was at a loss, the camera suddenly slowed down, and an old female suddenly grabbed Li Ting's hand and asked softly, "Maya, what's wrong with you, why don't you go to the altar yet?"

The old man was wearing a long skirt of animal skin, he seemed to be over 100 years old, there were many unknown feathers on the hemp rope tied to his head, his back was very hunched, and the wrinkles on his face were like knives and axes, with heavy traces of the vicissitudes of time, at this time she was looking at Li Ting with a pair of mediocre eyes with concern, and Li Ting, who still didn't understand the situation, was a little stunned, and didn't know how to tell the old man for a while, she recognized the wrong person.

"Let's go, if you don't go, you won't be able to catch up with the sacrifice. The old man seemed to be in a hurry, and did not wait for Li Ting to explain, he took Li Ting's hand and walked into the corridor, at this time the corridor was not as dark as when Li Ting first came, a bunch of torches hung on the wall, two torches every five meters on the wall, and the corridor was illuminated clearly and brightly.

On the walls of the corridor, there are pictures of various flying fairies painted with colored paints, the fairies are gorgeously dressed, or riding beasts, or dancing, but no matter how the fairies move, their eyes are looking at a central point, which is a round of the moon, round or missing, like a god to guide the fairies, the fairies bow and worship, and their expressions are pious and respectful.

Li Ting was dragged all the way forward, looking at it with relish, the old man suddenly slowed down, as if he had something on his mind, looking at Li Ting's expression with a trace of pity, although Li Ting didn't know the old man, but felt a little sad in his heart because of the old man's eyes, this feeling was very abrupt, making Li Ting inexplicable At the same time, she was a little overwhelmed.

The old man seemed to see that Li Ting's desire to speak was still off, and he groaned for a while, finally stopped, looked at Li Ting as calmly as possible, and said: "Maya, I know that you are working hard to cultivate, but people's talents are limited after all, Rita and Alyssa are both blessed, if you don't choose a goddess today, don't be sad, find a man to marry, don't be so persistent, no matter what, you are my good apprentice." The language is sincere, the eyes are real, Li Ting's eyes can't help but sour, and tears seem to be about to fall.

Li Ting was inexplicably sad, and wanted to tell the old man that you recognized the wrong person, she was Li Ting, not Maya. But when the words came out of his mouth, they became: "Master Amma, don't say that, although I don't have the talent of Rita and Alyssa, I have been working hard to cultivate, I believe that the Moon God will know my piety, and I am willing to work hard for the will of the Moon God, no matter what hardships I encounter, I am also willing to sacrifice everything for the Moon God." After speaking, he bent over and bowed deeply to the old man with great respect.

Li Ting was very inexplicable about her words, and when she looked down, she found that where was her body, obviously a little girl wearing a short skirt of animal skin, with a round face but a hint of holiness, Li Ting was shocked, and wanted to ask Master Ama where he was, but he couldn't say a word, it seemed that everything was a dream.

No, this is a dream, what's so scary, Li Ting's mind settled down suddenly, and she somewhat understood the situation in front of her, thinking that she had become Maya in a dream, people's dreams are strange, and it is possible to dream of anything.

The old man Wenyan, who was called Master Amma, had a dark look in his eyes, and he was very helpless about Maya's attachment, in fact, she hoped that Maya could let go, after all, to become a goddess, she had to face more than just hard work.

After half a ring, Master Ama said helplessly: "Since you have made up your mind, I can't say anything more, let's go." After speaking, he took the lead in walking into the corridor, and Li Ting's body (Maya) hurriedly followed.

Walking through the long road, Master Ama took Li Ting to the main hall, the hall was brightly lit, many old people wearing animal skins seemed to have been waiting for a long time, seeing the two come in, a man in his early forties stepped forward, he looked very majestic, quite a kind of momentum of not being angry and arrogant, he said: "Why did Elder Ama come, Maya is coming, the time for the ceremony is almost up, Rita Alyssa is ready, I will send you." ”

"Yes, Patriarch. Maya (Li Ting) bowed to the middle-aged man, and after respectfully speaking, she stepped aside and stood beside the other two girls.

One of the two girls is tall, at least one meter seven, her eyes are cold, and her face is cold when she sees Li Ting coming, and she has a kind of momentum that is high above and sees through the red dust. The other girl was only 1.55 meters, slender as a willow, with big eyes full of tenderness, before Li Ting approached, the woman gently pulled Maya (Li Ting), and said softly: "Great, Maya, I thought you didn't want to be a goddess, so you didn't come." ”

Before the woman's words fell, the patriarch and the elders frowned, looking at Maya's eyes as if they were disapproving, Li Ting looked at it sincerely, and wanted to defend Maya, but Li Ting was just in Maya's body, like watching a play, where would Maya be controlled by Li Ting, at this time Maya seemed to be concentrating on her thoughts, where did she notice the expressions of the elders and patriarchs.

The three stone doors on the wall have been opened, and a group of people walked to the stone gate in the middle, Li Ting followed, not wanting to enter the stone gate, the surrounding scene seemed to be a video tape suddenly speeding up, people and things swished and moved quickly, only Li Ting stood alone in the stone gate, incompatible with this dream.

Time slowed down at a time, Li Ting had appeared in a blink of an eye, outside the pyramid, the pyramid at this time was much smaller than when I first saw it, completely made of stone, at a glance, it made people feel a simple and heavy architectural style.

Outside the pyramid stood a group of people dressed in animal skins and holding improvised stone axes and stone grasses, divided into two groups, as if they were bidding farewell.

Master Ama stood at the door of the pyramid, holding Li Ting's hands at this time, the expression on his face was full of reluctance and sadness, and his already rickety back collapsed even more, as if he was much older.

"Maya, I don't know if you can come back after this trip, you must take care of yourself, if you really do. Master Ama sighed, sometimes people can't help themselves, even if they are reluctant.

Maya, who is now Li Ting, also had a strong sense of sadness in her expression, she said: "Master Amma, don't be sad, even if I don't become a goddess, I may dedicate the last bit of strength to the moon god, I am willing, Master Amma, after I am gone, you have to take good care of yourself, don't be sad for Maya, or even if I come back, I will be sad." ”

Master Ama was even more sad when he heard this, and kept patting Maya's (Li Ting) hands, unable to say a word for a long time.

The patriarch couldn't look at it at this time, and walked out of the crowd and said to the two: "Master Amma, it's not too early, it's time to let Maya go on the road." Turning to Maya (Li Ting), he said solemnly: "Maya, you are not only representing yourself, but also representing the hope and future of our whole clan, you must complete the task, but don't let us down." ”

Maya (Li Ting)'s body respectfully bowed to the patriarch and said firmly: "Yes, patriarch." ”

After speaking, he saw the patriarch wave his hand and signal Maya to hurry away with a group of people behind him, and Maya (Li Ting) turned around firmly and led everyone to the depths of the jungle.

This jungle is densely wooded, and the trees are abnormally tall, Li Ting looked at these trees, and they looked quite like the appearance of a giant tree forest. After walking for a while, another group of people suddenly came out of the grass and went straight to Li Ting and the others.

The equipment of that group of people is similar to that of the people behind Li Ting, and the person who led the team, Li Ting, has seen it before, that is, one of the two girls he met before the sacrifice, it was the woman with a frosty face and cold eyes.

Without waiting for the woman to approach, Maya (Li Ting) said, "Alyssa, didn't you set off yesterday and why are you here?"

It turned out that the cold woman was Alyssa, a candidate for a goddess like Maya.

Alyssa smiled slightly, but the smile couldn't reach the bottom of her eyes: "Maya, I'm waiting for your answer, let Rita become a goddess, are you really willing?"

"What if you are willing or not, I respect the will of the Moon God and am willing to sacrifice everything for the Moon God, the Moon God has made a choice, and I naturally have to obey, so you don't have to bother to persuade me, I will not go along with you. ”

"A good one who sacrifices everything, even if you are to die, are you willing?" Alyssa sneered when she heard this, as if she had heard some big joke: "Don't you know, we are going to be more auspicious, are you really willing to die for that empty god?"

Maya (Li Ting) frowned slightly, and disagreed with Alyssa's heart-wrenching remarks: "Alyssa, our people are all descendants of the Moon God, I don't know what happened to you, but God is God, not you and I can talk about it." ”

The people who followed Maya were also angry because of Alyssa's words, they raised their stone axes and swore loudly: "Swear allegiance to the moon god to the death!" The voice was deafening, and Li Ting, who was looking directly, wanted to run, how to look at how to feel that Maya's gang of people looked like a group of crazy infidels, die-hard or something, for people like Li Ting who had received modern education, they felt very unreasonable, but Li Ting was in Maya's body, even if she wanted to, she couldn't leave, she could only watch the play obediently.

Alyssa looked at Maya and the group, and the sneer gradually disappeared, and the indifferent gesture seemed to carry a trace of disdain, a trace of sadness, and I don't know whether it was because of the disdain of this group of faithful believers, or because of the sorrow for what they were going to face.

The eyes were fleeting, and Alyssa's eyes returned to indifference: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, Maya, your god has already abandoned you, and no matter what you are, you will not be able to return to the arms of the gods." After saying that, he took the person and left, not caring that the believers behind Maya had gritted their teeth angrily.

When Maya saw Alyssa leave, and Alyssa was about to disappear into the jungle, Maya (Li Ting) finally seemed to be unable to help it, and shouted at Alyssa's back: "Alyssa, don't do that, God will not allow you to do this!"

Alyssa didn't look back: "It's better to take care of yourself, you don't need to worry about my affairs." After saying that, he led everyone to disappear in the giant tree, and it seemed that he never appeared.

Maya (Li Ting) had a gloomy look on her face, and she stood among the trees for a long time without moving.
