stand back, let me come

Chapter 1204: Damn Your Life (Part 1204) [Seeking a Monthly Ticket]

Shen Tang yawned out of boredom.

She found that she could not control the dream at all and could only passively listen to the voice talking to the high priest. Her eyes fell on the child beside the high priest, and she had an inexplicable illusion of sympathy - she guessed that the child was as bored as herself.

Slightly distracted, Shen Tang discovered that someone was looking at him.

She followed her instinct and looked back, meeting the child's eyes.

Wanting to confirm again, the child took the initiative to look away, and gently pulled the sleeve of the high priest's gorgeous robe with his chubby white hands, raised his head and asked: [High Priest, will I live here to accompany Your Highness from now on? ]

The high priest bowed his head and looked at him.

Her pupils glowed with a light green, like a touch of vitality in spring, and the look she gave the child was full of love and a little bit of imperceptible guilt: [Well, you must serve His Highness well, and when you have learned it, you will be the only heir to my legacy! ]

The child nodded seriously: [Yes.]

A sigh escaped from the voice.

The high priest held a wooden staff in his hand, stood up straight, and bowed deeply to the wooden statue in the center of the temple: [May Your Highness succeed in breaking the calamity! ]

The voice did not respond.

The high priest was not surprised by this and left gracefully.

The empty temple was left with only the child, whose small body looked somewhat pitiful. Shen Tang held his chin in his hand and waited for this strange dream to end. At this time, the light above and below the wooden statue was distorted, and the hazy green light turned into a human form in front of the child, which turned out to be a woman in green.

Shen Tang's attention was attracted by the woman in green, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

This woman was not unfamiliar to Shen Tang.

The child looked up, his heart and eyes filled with pure admiration and joy. The woman in green was as cold as ice, but when facing the child of the high priest's clan, the ice in her eyes and eyebrows seemed to be brushed by the spring breeze, gradually melting and adding a bit of warmth: [Life in the temple is not easy. ]

The child said: [The high priest has said so.]

The blue-clothed woman showed a rare smile on her lips, and her words seemed to be full of resentment: [You know it's hard, but you still dare to come here? Yin just said that you are only six years old this year... When Yin was sent here, she was already twelve, and she was still stubborn. I will give you three months to think about it. If you feel that you can't hold on during this period, you can leave at any time. ]

The child pursed his lips.

Although he was only one of the candidates to be trained as a high priest, he was also a servant of God and could not lie to God. It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid. He had to leave his familiar environment and family and live alone in the temple for decades or even hundreds of years. Except for the incarnation of His Highness, no one could talk to him...

There is also tedious and boring daily practice...

Just thinking about it makes people back off.

But he is different.

The child mustered up his courage, and with his chubby little white hand, he held the slender fingers of the woman in green, and said word by word: [I wish to be a rock.]

The woman in blue was amused by his serious words.

【Did Yin teach you this?】

The child shook his head: [My elder sister in the tribe said so, and I heard it. According to the tribe’s story, before Your Highness was enlightened and became a saint, you were a vine growing around a rock by the stream. That rock has been with you for thousands of years... I also hope to be like that rock and serve you for a long time.]

The woman in green gently poked the child's forehead with her finger.

The light flickered, and formed a round and full circle between his eyebrows, which made the child look even more adorable. The woman in green smiled helplessly and said, "You'd better stop being a stubborn stone. I've seen people who want to be my waiters, but I've never seen people who want to be my parents..."

The child covered his hot and swollen forehead: [Hmm?]

The green-clothed woman explained: [The so-called stone recorded in your tribe, ahem, that is the placenta that gave birth to me...]

Shen Tang almost choked on his saliva when he heard this.

She almost thought it was a clichéd nesting doll story, such as the child was the reincarnation of the stubborn stone that had accompanied the prototype of the green-clothed woman for thousands of years, and the companionship in the previous life led to the fate of this life. The child's reaction was also very red, and the green-clothed woman did not let him be embarrassed for too long, and said with a smile: [The children in the tribe have more contact with the outside world, and I don’t know what they are thinking about...]

The vines growing around the rocks, accompanying the rocks for thousands of years...

The entanglement between the two is indeed a popular plot.

The temple was very large, and the child was settled in a side hall. Just as the high priest Yin said, the child was young but extremely talented, and his comprehension was also first-rate. At a young age, he had learned a lot of skills to solve daily life problems. The most valuable thing was that he was calm and composed. He cleaned the temple regularly every day, wiped the statues, prayed quietly, and learned the courses that the high priest had to learn.

The incarnation of the woman in green rarely appeared at first.

Until one night, when the child's face was red with fever and he was half asleep, he ran barefoot to the main hall holding a thin quilt that he loved very much, praying and meditating. The incarnation could no longer bear it and appeared again: [If you are sick, you should take medicine. ]

Instead of running to the temple to pray.

Because of their special race, this tribe rarely gets sick, and when they do, it's a serious illness. A high fever that's normal for a mortal body can be fatal for this tribe. The child was confused by the fever, curled up in the arms of the woman in green, and mumbled vaguely...

The next day, the fever subsided and the child excitedly ran to the temple to pray.

Shen Tang could actually hear his thoughts.

[I hope to see Your Highness often. 】

Immediately afterwards, Shen Tang heard the woman in green sigh again.

[…I’ve already said that I don’t like taking care of children…]

No matter how calm and steady a child appears, they all like to cling to adults, especially in a special environment like the temple. The woman in green knew the purpose of the high priest Yin sending this child here, and she knew that this move was futile and would be of no use to her upcoming disaster. However, she rarely refused the prayers of this group of believers.

Every voice has a response.

The incarnation of the woman in blue appears much more frequently.

As time passed, and as the high priest's basic courses were almost completed, the child's body gradually grew and took on the outline of a teenager.

The boring temple life did not make him more depressed, but more lively, jumping up and down like a restless monkey all day long. The green-clothed woman transformed into a sparring partner with him, and he could use dozens of fancy tricks to solve a problem that could be solved with one move.

Besides being restless, he also talks more and more.

Pray three times before closing your eyes and call him Your Highness.

After opening his eyes, he prayed three more times and continued to call his Highness.

Wearing the dignified and heavy robe of the high priest reserve, he looked like a large moth with its wings spread. The expression of the woman in green became more and more indescribable, as if she thought he was too noisy.

[…It’s not that you seem to be too noisy.]

The green-clothed woman incarnated and took a nap on a tree branch above the temple. Mottled light and shadow fell on her face. Before she could enjoy the moment, the big moth she raised with her own hands... ah, monkey, ran out to disturb her peace again. She raised a little impatient eyebrows, and the boy showed a cautious, heartbroken and pitiful expression. The green-clothed woman had no choice but to say harsh words, and the boy's mood became visibly depressed.

The incarnation said: [Your ancestors, for so many generations... I have never seen anyone more noisy than you. The temple is so big that it is not enough for you to ruin... Even Yin back then, she was not so... full of energy day after day... If Yin saw you like this, she would probably doubt the education level of the temple...]

The young man pouted and sat on a giant tree branch, swinging his legs: [It’s because it’s too quiet and makes Your Highness feel too relieved…]

The avatar frowned: [So? ]

The young man smiled, curved his eyes, and said nothing.

Woman in blue: [……]

She raised her hand and stroked her forehead. When she thought that for hundreds or thousands of years to come, this child would be the one listening to her oracle, a strange tiredness came over her. She kept finding trouble for herself. It seemed that she couldn't do without beating this naughty child.

But, it's no use beating him.

The boy is not only tough in words, but also tough in bones.

The huge temple with only two people in it caused a commotion. The frequency of the green-clothed woman's incarnation had to be stabilized at once or even twice a day. Occasionally, when she was not there, Shen Tang saw the boy cleaning the temple while muttering about how to make trouble. Sometimes, he would stare at the boring scenery outside the temple with a silent look, lost in thought for a long time. Shen Tang didn't understand why this dream lasted so long.

I don't understand why the boy is so stubborn to do this.

At this time, the young man holding a broom made of a simple wooden stick in his arms looked over: [Of course, it is because Your Highness is going to overcome the tribulation of love... To overcome the tribulation of love, you must first establish a relationship before you can understand this relationship. Your Highness is born as a stubborn stone and vine, without a heart or sex, without a father or a mother, and even without worldly relatives... This won’t work.]

Shen Tang didn't expect the boy to be able to answer him.

She tried to speak.

[So, you want to build a relationship with her first? ]

The young man said: [Yes.]

When necessary, he can help His Highness break up the relationship.

Shen Tang's mouth twitched: [...Although, this is not a reason for you to look for trouble like a naughty child...]

Really, it's too noisy.

The key is that his character is still very stubborn and impulsive.

It's completely different from the cute and graceful girl she was as a child.

She believed that God would not want to establish a [relationship] with such a naughty child. The boy seemed to understand that his struggles over the years were somewhat in vain, and he pouts in disappointment, holding his wooden stick in worry.

Shen Tang said: [Does it have to be a relationship between a man and a woman? ]

The young man seemed to have heard something horrifying. He almost jumped up in fright. His face flushed red. He was angry, annoyed, ashamed, and indignant. He muttered intermittently: [This is ridiculous. How could it be possible? How could anyone have such a blasphemous and blasphemous thought?]

Shen Tang: [……]

There are thousands of kinds of emotions in the world.

The boy just wants to establish a relationship that is close enough.

There is no rule for what kind of love tribulation it is. It is just that for two strangers to establish an intimate relationship, love between a man and a woman is the most ideal choice. The high priest Yin was afraid of changes, so he preferred love between a man and a woman. However, the boy has his own rhythm.

He said firmly: [My determination to serve God is firm! ]

This determination lasted for more than six hundred years.

The time in the dream seemed to have been accelerated. The light and shadow in the temple twisted rapidly, changing from light to dark and flickering. The vigorous and enthusiastic moth/monkey gradually grew taller, with a more upright figure, and looked like a young man. The empty temple suddenly had many people wearing the same style, as if preparing for a grand ceremony. The young man took the token of the highest status of the clan from the high priest Yin, slowly stepped across the green land that paved the way to the statue in the main temple, and officially took office as the high priest in front of the statue.

Shen Tang watched on boredly from the side.

The woman in blue also appeared.

She looked at the former high priest Yin, whose aura was filled with old age, and said without any sadness or joy: [Yin, your life span is almost over...]

Yin's hair was covered with frost and her face was no longer young.

She said: [It is fate.]

The green-clothed woman's heart moved, and she couldn't help but think of the fact that many, many years ago, the life span of the high priests was basically twice as long as Yin, or even several times as long. As the generations passed, the high priests were obviously more talented and more advanced, but their life spans were shorter...

Not only the high priest, but ordinary tribesmen as well.

The woman in green knew the root of the problem, but she couldn't stop it, and couldn't even give the believers an explanation. It wasn't that they were not sincere in their faith, nor that they were not practicing enough, it was just that the destiny was no longer there. The destiny would not always be with anyone.

Shen Tang looked around the ceremony curiously, and noticed that the auras of the participants were a little strange, far less pure than those of the high priest Yin and the young man, and there was a hint of resentment. Occasionally someone looked up, and their eyes crossed, which made Shen Tang inexplicably frightened.

The women in blue seemed not to notice.

The young man took over as the high priest, and he also moved out of the temple. He usually lived in the tribe, and only appeared during prayers and tribe activities. Every time he appeared, his expression became more solemn, and the content of the prayer became more lengthy, and the frequency of the response of the woman in green was visibly reduced. Shen Tang's intuition told him that something was going to happen, but this dream was fast-forwarded when it should have been detailed.

She saw the giant trees within the temple grounds blossom overnight.

Many years had passed since the handover ceremony. The woman in green and the young man stood under the tree one after the other, and the content of their conversation became blurred. Shen Tang only saw them getting closer, the young man said something firmly, and the woman in green thought for a long time and nodded.

The screen changes again.

The temple was so quiet that only the young man was left.

I don't know if it was her illusion.

She always felt that after the giant tree in the temple blossomed, its vitality gradually disappeared. First, the figure of the woman in green never appeared again, and then the frequency of ordinary people entering and leaving the temple increased. In the past, the temple was secluded and only the high priest would come during special times. Ordinary people only appeared during celebrations. Every time these people finished praying and left, they looked lost...

Shen Tang remembered that everyone in this clan looked young, and only when they were about to die would they show signs of aging, and even then they would not show much. But after the disappearance of the woman in green, there were more and more elderly people in this clan, and even patients with many diseases appeared...

Until someone died of illness in front of the statue in the temple.

This was the first time Shen Tang saw this clan’s funeral.

She quietly watched the young man preside over the cremation funeral, and a familiar sigh seemed to reappear in her ears. Suddenly, her eyes darkened, and something floated by. Shen Tang subconsciously raised her hand to catch it, and it turned out to be a yellow leaf. She suddenly raised her head, and all she saw was withered yellow.

She murmured: [Is the tree dying? ]

[My faith has been shaken...]

Shen Tang turned his head and looked at the young man who had stood behind him. The young man looked exactly like Jimo Qiu except for the bright cinnabar mark between his eyebrows. No, there was still a difference. There was always a strong and indissoluble sadness between the young man's eyebrows.

【Belief?】

The young man said: [When His Highness stopped responding to the believers, the weak-minded believers began to feel resentful... The shortening of lifespan and the spread of diseases are normal in life and death, but for an existence that has enjoyed thousands of years of favoritism, it is unacceptable.]

Being spoiled and arrogant, his desires are insatiable.

You should let go from the beginning, and the creatures will find a way out.

[Her Highness is not asexual and emotionless, she is just too emotional. 】

[What should I do? ]

The young man said: [What should I do? Cut it off.]

The dream also came to an end.

Countless fires broke out, and the temple was reduced to ruins in the blink of an eye.

Flames shot up into the sky and the air was filled with shouts of killing.

The young man waved his wooden staff, looked up at the familiar figure among the enemies, and said: [In front of the temple, those who disturb us will be killed! ]

  |ω`)

Tangmei survived the tribulation three times.

The first time was the fall of the big one, which is the tribulation in this chapter, which is actually the tribulation of love. At first, everyone thought that Fujiki was heartless, so the high priest tried hard to establish a relationship with each other and become the most indispensable servant of the god, but later found that it was not possible, so he changed his strategy. The mentality of the big one and this clan is what Jimo Qiu mentioned before, pampering, too cute to keep, not to mention that both sides have the grace of irrigation. Tangmei at this time is an i person, keeping a "pet" to relieve boredom.

As a result, they were over-raised and over-indulged.

The second time was when the world was destroyed thousands of years ago, and Tangmei’s love tribulation ended before it even began...

The third time, after learning from the painful experience, someone helped him to use the back door to commit the murder.

She is familiar with killing and will definitely not fail again.
