God's grace (28)

It was very dark in the corridor, even if the torch was used to reach into the depths, the range that could be illuminated was only a small place, Xia Lingge and Si Cheng glanced at each other, hesitating to probe inside, but they heard footsteps coming from the inside out.

Xia Lingge made a 'shhh' gesture at Si Cheng, raised his hand and shook it out, and extinguished the flames.

"Really, how did you send us such a difficult errand, but fortunately we found it and didn't cause a big disaster."

"The selfish guy should be locked up in the ground and reflect, if it weren't for Altai saying that he would not give up on anyone, he should really be thrown out to fend for himself."

"But Altai will not agree, he will only think that this contempt for life is worse than the sin of God, God only knows what is high but does not care about the suffering of the world, but Altai who helped us out of the predicament is far more noble than the gods."

"yes."

The two of them held torches and communicated with each other and walked out of the corridor, and when their figures gradually moved away, Xia Lingge and Si Cheng poked their heads out of the cracks in the stones on the left and right, Xia Lingge turned his head and looked into the deep corridor, Si Cheng groped to her side, stretched out his hand and grabbed her sleeve: "Senior sister, let's go back first, it's too dark here, even if you go inside, you may not be able to find anything." ”

Xia Lingge retracted his gaze: "Okay." ”

They groped their way back, but fortunately there were many torches in the corridor, and they followed the markers all the way back, and when they came to the big cave, they saw Altai talking and laughing with Baixi.

Altai's eyes lit up when he saw them: "You have returned, I have heard this beautiful girl say that you have visited the rest of the wounded in the cellar, my esteemed warriors, and I am touched by your kindness. ”

Xia Lingge looked at Bai Xi, Bai Xi didn't say anything but smiled at her, she turned her eyes to look at Altai: "We didn't do anything, it's just that you didn't go out, why did you come back so soon?" ”

"In three days, it's the Day of Prayer."

Altai took a deep breath, and there was disgust in his eyes: "Those lackeys of the gods want us to rebuild a statue of the gods, and at the same time pray for blessings, but also pay tribute to the dead chanter, I'm sorry!" ”

He spat fiercely: "An old immortal needs to be mourned after death, but when my brothers and sisters died, they didn't even say a word of 'mourning'. ”

Xia Lingge and Si Cheng sat on the chairs, Xia Lingge looked at him with righteous indignation, and asked, "Did you think of any plan?" ”

"Yes!"

Altai suddenly approached them, slapped his hands on the table and made a crisp 'bang', his eyes were filled with eagerness and excitement, and said: "The Prayer Day is the most solemn festival in Okla, and on that day, both the temple believers and the common people go to the square to worship the gods. ”

"This is a great opportunity for us to completely expose the lies of the gods on that day, and let everyone know that the gods are nothing but a shackle, an oppressor in sheep's clothing!"

Xia Lingge continued to ask: "But how do you debunk the lie?" ”

"I've already thought about it." Altai said, "We can do something to the statue, and when we pray for the gods, we will set fire to the statue in front of everyone, so that they know that the gods can't even protect themselves, let alone protect them!" ”

When Altai said the strategy, his pupils were slightly dilated with excitement, and Si Cheng and Bai Xi avoided his gaze sideways, not because they were afraid, but because he looked as hideous as a beast.

Xia Lingge looked at him: "Then what do you want us to do?" ”

Altai said: "Although everyone should participate in the festival of prayer, there is a clear class order, and poor people like us are not worthy of being near the gods, so I hope that you warriors can help me to infiltrate the temple and expose the despicability of the gods in one fell swoop." ”

Xia Lingge thought for a while: "We can try, but we can't guarantee success." ”

Altai instantly smiled: "No." With you on board, we will be able to succeed. ”

Because of the affirmation of Xia Lingge and others, Altai began to implement his plan in a hurry, the torches on both sides of the cave were still burning vigorously, Bai Xi looked at Xia Lingge and Si Cheng, who were silent, and hesitated for a while or asked: "Do you really want to help him overthrow any rule?" ”

Si Cheng answered: "Not only to help him, the task is to 'explore the truth of the world', so we also need to know what secrets are hidden in this world." ”

"The temple believes in the gods, saying that the supremacy of the gods can bring peace and tranquility to people, but in the eyes of Altai, the gods are bad and despicable, and they are the source of evil, and if we want to complete the task, perhaps this 'god' is the source of the problem."

He turned his eyes to Xia Lingge: "What do you think, senior sister?" ”

Xia Lingge agreed: "I think so too, it's just ......" she held her chin, "I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't say exactly where." Is Shen Yu back? ”

"Nope." Baixi shook his head.

Xia Lingge tidied up his shirt: "Let's take a step and look at it first, no matter what we do, we must protect ourselves first." ”

……

The ground ushered in the night again, and the time underground seemed to be still, Altai and Xia Lingge, Si Cheng, and Bai Xi discussed the planning process in detail, but it was a discussion, most of the time Altai talked eloquently, Xia Lingge. Si Cheng and Bai Xi listened silently.

At the end of the conversation, Altai took a sip of sewage mixed with sand and looked at them and said, "How is it?" ”

"Very good......

In fact, Xia Lingge, who didn't understand anything, nodded solemnly.

Altai smiled, and he took another sip of water: "Then we decided so, by the way, I remember that it was the four warriors, what about the young man?" ”

Xia Lingge said: "People have three urgencies, don't worry about him." ”

Altai didn't understand what she meant by 'people have three urgency', but looking at her indifferent look, he didn't pay much attention to it, "Okay, when that warrior returns, you will convey the plan." He got up, "You have a lot of rest these days, and waiting for the Prayer Day is a good opportunity for us to show our talents." ”

The wide cave was left for them to rest, and when everything was quiet, Xia Lingge slowly opened her eyes, she looked at the sleeping Si Cheng and Bai Xi, found a smaller torch and held it in her hand, and followed the mark she had made before to the deep tunnel again.

She stepped in without hesitation, and walked slowly, this corridor was slightly damp compared to the others, and there were some small crawling insects everywhere on the ground, and she carefully avoided it, and found that the whole corridor became narrower and narrower the more she walked inward, and then, she found a decaying wooden door.
