I'm passing by

Although I have been guessing who is the person who made things difficult for me in these transformation environments before, even if it is not Jin Gao, I have always felt that it should not have... too much malice towards me.

But now, I realize that I was thinking too much.

Not everyone will have the kindness I thought,

Its inexplicable malice towards me is not even a single star... In such an environment, if something happens to me, I don't know... Will I still have the opportunity to collect soul pieces, let alone meet Ajin, or... go home…

Because after I understood these things, I finally understood the importance of saving my life in the transformation environment. After I intervened that time, I never dared to participate in those plots again.

From then on, I fell silent, guarding in the deep sea, in that empty and dark hall for the merman sacrifice, I couldn't sleep every day, only once in a while, I was awakened by Wu Julan.

Wu Julan has lost a lot of friends in the millennium. The people who made close friends with him and made enemies with him all slowly passed away in a long time, and the only one who didn't leave him was actually me.

I have been elected as the next priest since Haixi's death. I will not grow old for a thousand years, because I will not grow old or die, so... I have not accepted any disciples at all.

For thousands of years, I have been the only one in my sacrificial hall. Before the Lingzhu incident happened, I would continue to fill the water mirror in the sacrificial shrine where I could see everything in this realm.

I used the water mirror to relieve my fatigue, but after a long time, I no longer wanted to see anything. It seemed that it was just this transformed environment. I began to sleep, closing the door of the sacrificial hall from time to time, and fell into a deep sleep alone.

And from the matter of the Lingzhu, after the accident, I became more cautious. I no longer randomly displayed some spells that should not appear in this transformation environment. Even the spell of the water mirror was only used when it was necessary... Wu Julan, as the king of the mermaids, has his own things to do. As the high priest, my only role is to keep the secrets of the mermaid clan. In one place, who could keep a secret better than her?

I remember once in a while, I woke up, and when I heard a petite voice coming from outside the door, my whole body unconsciously activated the art of radio reception.

"Mom, is this the sacrificial hall?"

"Hush, keep your voice down. It is said that the high priest doesn't like others to spare her by her side. Mom brought you here this time, which is a violation of the rules set by the Shark King. If we are found out, the two of us will have nothing to eat." Let's go."

"...Oh, then I'll keep my voice down, but, Mom, is the legend of the High Priest true?"

"What legend?"

"I heard from Xiaoshan that Xiaoshan's father is the imperial guard. His father told Xiaoshan about the legend of the high priest. It is said that she, like our king... has lived for a thousand years."

"...what else do you know?"

When I heard this, I flicked my sleeves and pushed open the heavy door of the sacrificial hall, making a "squeaky" sound, and the masters of those two voices appeared in front of me.

A silver fir woman in a simple gown, with a girl in a grass-green skirt by her side, both of them are mermaids, they seem to be mother and daughter, before I finished thinking, I heard a "plop", The woman even pulled the girl to kneel on the ground.

"Ask the High Priest to forgive you."

"...?"

"I really didn't mean to disturb the high priest's Qingxiu. If the high priest must blame me, I beg the high priest to let my daughter go..."

"... "

"Mother…"

I couldn't help but have a trace of speechlessness on my face, I... what kind of ghost, or some kind of monster?

I pulled them up with a flick of my hand, and said, "I don't mean to blame you."

"Thank you High Priest."

The woman pulled the little girl beside her and hurriedly knelt down to thank her, and said.

"Thank you High Priest."

I looked at the little girl, squatted down and said, "Little girl, you haven't told me yet, what do you... know?"

"Are you really the High Priest?"

The little girl was just pulled by her mother to kneel down and stand up again. Looking at me in a thick seven-ring ancient silver robe, she tilted her head and looked at me curiously and asked.

"Xiao Yu, don't talk nonsense!" The woman looked at her bold daughter and hurriedly reprimanded her.

I waved my hand to stop the woman from approaching, and nodded to the girl amusedly, "I am."

The girl said in a childish voice, "Xiaoshan said that the high priest has lived for a thousand years, for a long time, and also said that the high priest likes to stay alone in a big and empty temple..."

"…yes?"

"Big sister, are you really the high priest?"

"Why, don't I look like it?"

"No, the high priest has lived for 1000 years. In Yu'er's mind, she should be an old woman. Sister, you are so young. Are you the new high priest?"

"... "

I looked at the pure and lovely little shark girl, she was leaning on her mother's arms intimately, children's preferences are always pure, and their preferences are also random, to put it simply, they only look at the face.

But what she said was a wake-up call to me. I stood up in a daze, my eyes became a little dull, and I looked at the sea in front of me, which was clearly blue but now extremely dark, and murmured.

"I am the new... high priest, there is no difference between day and night in this temple, a thousand years of time, passing by in a blink of an eye, I thought that time has not changed, it turns out... but I have not changed..."

When I was in a daze, the woman took her daughter and left. I didn't know how long they had been gone, and I stared blankly at the dark blue hole worship temple in front of me...
