How To Wear a Goddess Statue

Gods do not dream, and the scenes that flash in their consciousness when they are asleep must be the real or possible future of the past.

Thinking through the layers of water curtains, cruising through the kaleidoscope-like tunnels, leading Luodus to see the past in memory.

It seems like an ordinary day.

The sky was drizzling and the water mist was hazy. Luodus put away his umbrella and put it in the storage area, and walked slowly into the Rijksmuseum with the fellow travelers.

The ancient Solan special exhibition area displays some of the cultural relics that have survived from that era. They lie quietly in a special glass-sealed showcase, silently telling the glory of the kingdom.

Solancia lives three thousand years apart from the modern age of Luotas, and is listed as one of the greatest ancient civilizations in human history by historians. Unfortunately, she has long since disappeared in the long river of time , Only these incomplete records of cultural relics are left, allowing later generations to speculate, explore and explore painstakingly.

Lotus in my memory has black hair that is slightly curly, and looks like the goddess of the river, but it is more friendly.

Different from other excited and active tourists, Luo Das was as quiet as a painting, she walked and stopped in front of the showcase, and finally stopped by a separate showcase.

A mirror. A round bronze mirror with gold on the edge and sapphire in the center, the gold frame is engraved with a snake pattern, and the snake letter is against the tip of the tail, enclosing the mirror that is still visible for thousands of years.

As if attracted all attention, Luo Das leaned forward unconsciously, and indeed saw his face in the mirror.

The next moment the mirror image was reversed, the world turned upside down, and Luo Das lost consciousness in the suffocation feeling like diving into the deep sea of ​​chaos.

This is all that happened before the goddess of the river came back to her senses as the stone statue of the temple of Katiera, or rather, all she thought.

Why didn't you notice it before? Those memories in modern times are clearly as old as they happened in a previous life. Luodus classifies this sense of separation as an illusion brought about by transmigration, but the truth is probably that , she has been separated from the past for a thousand years.

Whether she came to Solancia at the time when the myth system was established.

What role did you play in order to awaken as a **** at this time?

Lotus doesn't know, but she wants to know.

The dome of the temple, and the stars along the line of the river twinkled.

Every once in a while, a ray of light will fall from above, sink into the pool where Luotas is, smashed into small star chips, and then absorbed into the body of the gods little by little.

The whole process is slow and orderly, and where the faith gathers, there are countless light spots flashing, and if you want to use them completely, the time spent will be measured in years .

The fingertips of the gods moved slightly at this time, and returned to silence.

The speed of the light spot of faith falling a little faster.

Even in a deep sleep, Luo Das seems to remember that as soon as possible.

Because there are still people waiting for her to go back.

———

The sound of water murmured, Eleuil walked out of the hole in the rock of the secret training ground, took off his coat expressionlessly, and jumped into the water.

Swimming across the Bai Yilu River that flows through here, the princess stood on the opposite bank drenched in water and waved her hands at will, and two golden eagles swooped down, respectively taking the clothes for changing and the large pieces The towel was dropped on her outstretched arm.

Eleuil wiped off the water, put on her coat, and prepared to return to the Temple of Kadera.

Today is her last day in Catiera.

In a few days, the holiday will be over, and the princess must return to Tigbia by then, otherwise it will be considered a violation of military discipline.

In fact, before that, Eleuil wanted to participate in the festival and set off to return, but after the festival ended, she couldn't help but stay, until she could no longer delay.

For the past few days, Eleuil has basically spent her time in the shrine room. In terms of starting the shrine room, she is more diligent than the two priests in the temple.

Everyone in the temple praised the princess for her devotion to the goddess Luota, and lamented that she was the only one who got the goddess' favor.

On the last day, Eleuil went to the secret valley, stood in front of the wide Bailu River, and suddenly realized that no one would take her across the river this time.

There is no incarnation of the gods, and there is no messenger lady.

Eleuil still swam by herself, the river in early spring was still cold, she felt a little wronged.

Even if something goes wrong in the kingdom of God, even if the goddess is really busy, can the messenger come over? At least, you can respond to her even once.

No.

So the princess began to worry again, if something really happened in the kingdom of the gods, so that Luodus had no skills, and she couldn't take out any extra thoughts.

Thinking about this, she was extremely worried, wishing she had the ability to know what happened, even if she could help a little...

In such a maddening thought, Eleuil, who should have been able to enter through the main entrance in an open and fair way, wandered all the way to the back wall of the temple.

After three years of overturning the wall, it is a habit.

Eleuil reacted and pressed her forehead, thinking that it would be okay to flip over the wall again.

She took two steps back and was about to use her strength to cross the wall when she suddenly moved the tip of her ear and her expression changed.

The slight wind noise mixed with the rubbing of clothes and the sound of the woman's gasping and moaning fell into the ears of the princess.

Of course Eleuil knew what that sound was.

She once accompanied the army to attack and kill the Sanur people who looted Solan villages and towns. When they arrived in the occupied villages, they would always see the ugliest greed, those greedy Sanur people plundered food And cloth, but also plundering unarmed women, showing ugliness without hesitation.

At this moment, Eleuil heard a similar sound, but it was not as tragic as it was struggling, and she was more cautious and fearful of being discovered.

…unforgivable.

How dare, how could anyone dare to do such a thing in the temple of Luodus? !

The anger and killing intent ruled Eleuil's will in an instant. Like a vigorous cat, she silently climbed over the wall, pressing the sword on her waist with one hand, Go to the bushes where the sound came from.

She didn't hide her footsteps, so the vague movement disappeared immediately, and in the dead silence, the rustling of clothes sounded again.

A strange woman with disheveled clothes emerged from behind the bushes. She was wearing a low-level priest uniform and tried to maintain her composure, but she turned pale when she saw the princess.

Eleuil's sword was already unsheathed, Sen coldly said: "The other person, tell him to get out."

The woman shook her voice: "No one else, only me, only me here."

"Do I look like I have an ear problem?" Eleuil sneered, "Now—come out."

Rage was burning her senses, casting a shadowy shadow in her eyes.

The bushes were suddenly pushed aside, and another man ran out, spreading his arms to block the lower priests behind him.

"It was me! I forced her to be with me!"

The familiar face made Eliui pause for a moment. She knew the face of this man, it was a young female clerk who had taught her, and her attitude was quite friendly.

Two women?

Eleuil's eyes turned between the two, her expression was blank for a moment, her throat tightened for no reason, there was a premonition that something was about to be pierced, and something was going to be faced, strangely unknown overwhelmed.

The female clerk is still saying: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, it's all my fault, I forced her here..."

The lower priests scrambled and said, "No, I deceived her because she was young and ignorant, please punish me."

Eleuil was silent for a moment, then retracted the sword into its sheath.

."

The two who were smashed by someone froze in place.

"I thought you were going to kill—"

The lower priest hurriedly covered the mouth of the female clerk and said quickly: "We will go now, thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!"

Eleuil nodded, turned and walked away, walking gracefully and properly, without seeing anything unusual.

It was already evening, but the princess did not return to her yard. She wandered around for a few times, and finally went to the worship room.

In the past few days, Eleuil has especially liked to talk to herself here, like an ordinary girl sharing her feelings with her family, chatting unilaterally with the cold stone statue.

But this time, she looked up at the statue and couldn't say a word.

The princess even thought of a rhetoric: someone is defilement of your place of worship, and I was arrested by me, are you happy?

.

She couldn't say anything, so she lowered her eyes without saying a word, and sat under the altar with her back to the statue, dazed by herself.

This year, Eleuil will be fifteen years old.

It is the age of young Muai, when she is fifteen years old, the girls in Solanchia can almost think about marriage, but Eleuil never thought about it.

Under the dim candlelight of the sacrificial room, the light of blue chalcedony pierced the eyes of the princess.

Don't think about it - or don't want to think about it?

Eleuil raised her hand suddenly, turned the amulet over, and the side inlaid with blue chalcedony beads clasped her chest tightly and disappeared from sight.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, but there was still a mild and light frost blue swaying in front of her eyes.

With her back against the altar, the princess did not sleep all night.

The next morning, she said goodbye to the priestess and Rhea, and rushed back to the barracks alone.

When the sun was setting, Mortis greeted her carelessly and wanted to discuss with her. Lena saw that it was not good, and hurriedly stopped the guy and said to Eleuil: "The road Tired, Your Highness doesn't look very good, why don't you go back to the tent to rest first?"

Eleuil didn't reject Lena's kindness, she was really tired, she went back to the tent and lay down, but she didn't sleep for a long time.

Lying on her own side, she couldn't help but think that Luo Das had slept on the other side before.

The princess tossed and turned, and finally rolled to the opposite side with the quilt, closed her eyes with some secret satisfaction and guilt, and quickly fell asleep.

———

The secret valley covered with greenery, the warm sunshine in early summer, is indescribably quiet and beautiful.

"Aleu."

A familiar voice behind her called her with a smile.

Eleuil turned around, the goddess of the river was standing there, her silver hair was like a ray of light that shone on the shattered Bai Yilu River, and she was like the snow on the river wrapped in winter, and her blue eyes had a real smile. meaning.

She stood there like another light source between heaven and earth.

The goddess opened her hands and called her name again: "Ai Liu."

Eleuil took a half step back, looking struggling and eager.

Luodus didn't move, maintaining the posture of wanting to hug, as still as the water trapped in the lowland.

Eleuil looked at her, and she looked at Eleuil.

For a long time, the princess raised her lips suddenly, and a thin mist of water filled her golden eyes, she whispered:

"You're always torturing me, Lotus."

Long slender fingers pierced through the cloudy silver hair, she said, "Please close your eyes."

She kissed the **** after all.

Dawn has not yet dispelled the night, Eleuil sat up from the bed, with wet tears in the corners of her eyes.

It was not dawn, and everyone in the camp did not wake up. In the silence, she heard a heartbeat like the end.

In a trance, a picture that has been sealed in my memory for many years comes to my mind.

Acht City, a luxurious palace, the queen mother hugged her who was still young and sang a ballad of Solancia in a low voice.

Love, the arrow in Adiya's hand.

You bring torment, but are still sought after.
