Chapter 3 Sacrifice

I began to refuse to accept anything that could sustain my life, and gave everything I had left before to the same. I just sat at the window and looked at the distant mountains, allowing the bells in the room to ring. Actually, I don't want to die. But if I'm dying, he should come to see me for the smoothness of the sacrifice, right?

I don't know how long it took. I just felt that someone opened my mouth, and then there was a warm current slowly entering my throat. I instinctively swallowed another sip. After a while, I felt that my hearing began to recover, and the noisy voices kept coming. Not long after, I began to pick up my strength to open my eyes and see a bunch of pink skirts and a bunch of pink faces. I tried to find his figure, but in the world, in addition to pink, it is still pink. It turned out that they came to dress up the ladies and then take them to the sacrificial ceremony.

The day of sacrifice has finally come.

It still disappeared, and my heart was empty. I only remember that in the last few days, she just stood by my side quietly without touching a drop of water.

I will let them dress up. It's still the same white. The only difference is that they painted my lips a little red. According to their words, my lips are bloodless, and I am afraid of redeeming God. If it is considered to be sent to the dead to sacrifice to heaven, I'm afraid of retribution.

I sneered in my heart. I'm afraid this retribution will come no matter what.

Finally, I got out of the invisible wall, and I began to look for a chance to live.

I'm not afraid of death, but I can't die like this, because I'm not Linglan.

I was surrounded by a group of pink. Two strong master of ceremonies held my arms left and right. It's not so much to help me walk, but to be afraid that I will escape. Run? I really don't have that strength. In my memory, it seems that I haven't eaten for half a month. I'm a mortal.

I just want to see him. He is my only hope. What else can I catch except bet on his heartbeat?

In this big city, he is the only one who is a little warm with me. I hope he is also a mortal.

The master said that mortal love is their root.

I felt that I had walked a long way and passed through one hall after another. I didn't see anyone else except a few guards guarding in different corners. It is said that this is an annual ceremony. The scene is spectacular and majestic, and it is difficult to see. I'm afraid everyone sat on the viewing table early.

Another courtyard was transferred, and the noise began to come from far to near. The pink team stopped outside the big stone door. Before long, the big stone door was pushed open heavily, and we seemed to have entered a very short black hole. Suddenly, the master of ceremonies on my right forced something into my mouth, and then her voice sounded in my ear: "If you don't want to enjoy the feeling of fire, just swallow it and walk more comfortably."

I swallowed it abruptly. In fact, I didn't choose. The way she delivered the medicine was specially trained. I have to swallow it if I don't.

The master has been telling me about life and death since I was a child. Our dreamers' lives are always in danger. If you are too obsessed with life and death, you can't achieve it. It will not only harm yourself, but also innocent dreamers.

I have been dead for a long time, but I should have died in a dream, not here.

They didn't tie my hands and feet. According to their words, the ladies are voluntary, which is an honor. They received so many women early and taught them day and night. In the end, everyone was afraid that they would jump into the fire and die in a hurry.

However, this Linglan is indeed a special case.

Another stone door "boom" opened, and the slightly dark passage suddenly lit up, feeling like "Wang!" All of a moment, all the people appeared, and all the voices squeezed into their ears. I was stunned.

This is a very large square. The ladder-like stands are full of all kinds of people, men and women, and some monsters. I'm afraid they haven't practiced adult shapes yet. In the middle of the viewing table, under the big sunshade cloth, their king and queen have sat down together with those princes and nobles. The center of the square is an altar.

Oh, it turns out that they still have great respect for the ladies. I was actually the last one to appear! As soon as I appeared, the whole audience shouted and stood up.

Is it worth it to die in the form of a king? I laughed at myself, and it was even hotter to watch the gift. I think my smile is indeed a great and last smile for them.

I don't seem to tremble so much. I'm curious to see which side they are sacrificing?

As the team walked to the center of the square, a hundred-foot-high statue came into my eyes. The surface of the stone statue is still slightly green. I'm afraid it will be a thousand years to stand here, but the outline of the face is still clear.

Master...Master... I opened my mouth in surprise, but I couldn't say a word. Isn't that what the master looks like in armor? Although I have never seen the master wear armor, I will never forget his face. I have also seen similar armor. I put it by his bedside all year round, and sometimes I am asked to take care of it. In front of the master's stone statue, there was a smaller Sanzun, engraved with clothes, all bowing their heads and worshipping devoutly.

I want to shout and tell them that it really doesn't have to be so troublesome. I have been with my master for a while. He is not the kind of person who is rigid, let alone sacrifices with living people. Of course, I don't want it to be me.

However, I said a few words before I realized that I... couldn't make any sound. There was still the noisy human demon voice in my ear, but my world suddenly darkened, and I thought of the pill.

What should I do? Should I do this?

At first, I thought that before I died, I could make a few words for myself and preach Shinto to a group of people and demons with low IQ. However, I didn't expect that they thought of everything for me.

The female master of ceremonies who used to support me stood on both sides of the altar. Four bodyguards surrounded me in the middle without a knife? It is impossible for the female master of ceremonies to pull the back of the medicine, and there is no weapon to borrow for suicide.

I looked up at the master's stone face and sighed, Grandpa Wen, why did you only teach me to change into cups, bugs and so on? Why didn't you think of teaching me invisibility or something? Become a worm? My mind suddenly lit up, so I read the formula. It's strange that no change can be made.

I thought desperately, is it that medicine again...

Suddenly, the boiling voice suddenly calmed down, and the legendary three chief priests appeared on the altar. Two of them looked powerful and tall, and they knew at a glance that they were male priests. The other one, with a gorgeous face and a small figure, is actually a priestess.

They read ancient words of respect to the statue, and the men with bark and forks on both sides began to rhythmically "buff!" Buff! Buff!" He danced with the spells of the three chief priests. Then, the tens of thousands of spectators on the stage also shouted desperately.

I suddenly felt extremely wronged. The master can't understand these bullshit at all, and I'm going to bury their ignorance here. Then I felt so desperate that I came to this strange place alone, and I couldn't even find anyone who could prove my identity? Master, where the hell are you?

I really regret taking this job. The master always says that I'm too simple. In fact, he wants to say that I'm stupid.

Before death, all kinds of feelings were mixed, and tears fell down like this. I think I should be very touching at this time, right?

"Don't be afraid, girl. The sky is very fierce. All of a sudden, you can't even see the ashes. You see, this one has been burned for thousands of years, and there is no black ash at all. A bodyguard around me wanted to comfort me and whispered, "God has taken it away. There is no pain in being with God.

I said fiercely in my heart: Then why are you still here?

"All Gods, please accept our piety, accept this pure body, and keep me safe!"

Then, a huge fire was ignited in the center of the altar. I gave way in front of me, with hundreds of pink skirts on both sides. More bark costumes appeared around the square, huh, ha, singing and dancing. Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes look at me--

What are they waiting for? Are you waiting for me to throw fire? What a fair and free choice!

Am I afraid? My body is shaking a little. It's a little bit. I'm only 17 years old this year. I'm a mortal. I want to live.

If so, what else do I have to give up?

I suddenly turned my head and looked at the viewing table desperately. The distance was so far away that I couldn't even see his face clearly, and could he see me?

Wow, the sound is getting louder and louder, and it's a little deafening. They are impatient.

My feet began to move unobediently, and I couldn't help running to their natural fire. The whole altar boiled, thinking that no one wanted to miss the beautiful moment when I, a weak girl in white, threw herself into the sea of fire.

This is a simple and ancient voluntary ceremony, but there are so many helpless things in it!!

Master, if I can still live...

I used all my strength in my life, turned around, calmly, from afar, looking at him from afar, their king... with all my last strength, shouting:

"I-no-yes-linglan!"

I know that I can only send a silent mouth shape, but I only ask God to let him take a look at me, even the last one...

Master, don't blame me.

I "bang!" With a sound, under ten thousand people, my clothes were pulled open.

With the slipping of the white skirt, my skin was exposed. The voice in my ear was quiet, and it was even bigger.

Master, I can't die like this...

The high king, beg you, look at me again...

This time, I really cried. I lost my dignity because I want to live.

My feet involuntarily stepped into the sea of fire... The scorching fire swallowed with my skin.

I think I'm dead... I'm dying in despair...

Hasn't he seen it yet? I don't have behind me - Si Nv Tu - if the rumor is true, if he is one of the four people who can see this pattern.

I heard the strong wind in my ear mixed with some ghosts crying and howling, approaching and far away...

If you burn without clothes, I'm afraid you can go faster.

My consciousness began to fade, and I didn't feel any pain on my body.

In a daze, I seemed to see the master.

"Master... you're still here..." I muttered and closed my eyes.

At the last moment, God had mercy on me so that I could die peacefully in the master's arms.

There is nothing more to be afraid of...
