Chosen Prophet [Unlimited]

Bai Sinian said: "The congregation held a string of rosary beads in their hands, and looked very vigilant. It is not clear what he came to this military camp for the time being. But I can be sure that he sneaked in secretly. He probably I also saw that I was not a soldier, but a prisoner, so I was quite confident when facing me.

"The state of both of us at the time was probably that we were very vigilant at the beginning, and we were both worried that the other party would call someone to come, but later we both saw that the other party was quite timid, so we reached a tacit consensus-to explore our own, without interfering with each other. "

Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at Xiaobing dressed tomorrow with a slightly curious look. Bai Sinian turned to Duan Yi again and said, "I tried to talk to him on the way, and I learned that he lives not far from here. Near the celestial burial platform not far away. He said that he is a believer who will perform celestial burials. As for other things, sorry, I choose to keep some of them, and I will share them with you later depending on the situation."

"A believer who performs a sky burial?" Hearing this, Duan Yi couldn't help but frown and said, "Just now the princess said that she is going to die, and she will be buried in the sky. Does that mean that the princess' body will be chopped up with a knife at that time? Could it be this believer?"

The so-called sky burial is a kind of burial custom.

Tibetans believe in the immortality of the soul, and believe that the body is only a way to carry the soul.

In their culture, chopping up the body after death and feeding it to vultures or other birds and beasts is equivalent to giving alms to the body and the world, and it is a great merit.Their souls will also be sublimated and reach the place they want to go.

Looking at Duan Yi, Bai Sinian nodded and said, "It's possible, that believer—"

Before he finished speaking, he interrupted their conversation tomorrow: "Everyone, the general is here."

Most of the players here don't know Tomorrow. After hearing him speak at this moment, everyone looked at him with vigilance and vigilance.Among them, Hong Xian asked him: "What is the general looking for us for?"

Before he opened his mouth tomorrow, Duan Yi answered first: "You will know when you go?"

"Do I dare to go casually? What if it's a trap?" Hong Xian asked back.

"Then you go back to the camp. If you look forward and backward, you can't explore." Duan Yi choked him, and walked to tomorrow, "Where is the general now? You take us there?"

"He's in the main tent." Ming Ming smiled at him with downcast eyes, then turned around and opened the curtain and walked out, "I'll take you there."

"'Take you there'? Why not 'Take you there'

? Hong Xian looked at Duan Yi in surprise, "The one who gave you the map yesterday, could it be this little soldier as well?" "

When Shu Rongrong heard this, she took a step forward and asked, "Hey, that tall and handsome little brother, wait a minute, that day—"

I didn't look back tomorrow, as if I didn't hear this sentence.

Shu Rongrong raised her eyebrows. "What do you mean? This NPC was not seduced by me, but he is willing to reveal the news to No. 7? He gave him the map alone yesterday, and wants to lead him alone today? No. 7 will not have another identity, right?"

As a result, Hong Xian and Shu Rongrong were all crowded at the door of the camp, staring at tomorrow rather strangely.

Bai Sinian glanced at tomorrow's back, then looked at Duan Yi thoughtfully.

Wu Junlan coughed twice, but left the camp first. "Let's go. I've only heard the princess's side story so far. Let's go and hear what the general has to say. If I still have time after this, I want to visit the celestial burial platform."

Duan Yi nodded towards her, and started to walk out of the camp, but was suddenly stopped by Bai Sinian. "I want to ask you something, let's talk alone?"

Looking at the back of tomorrow not far away, Duan Yi frowned, but temporarily agreed to Bai Sinian's request.

So after a while, tomorrow was at the front, a group of players followed him, and Duan Yi and Bai Sinian were at the end of the team.

The wind and sand were blowing, and the sand and gravel under my feet were still scorching hot by the sun.

But the players are prepared this time, and have already put something on the soles of their shoes in advance. Now when walking on the road, the soles of their feet are much more comfortable, and they will not be easily burned again.

As he walked, Bai Sinian touched the sand in front of him with his toes, kicking up a little dust.

Squinting his eyes slightly, he asked Duan Yi: "There was some confusion in my timeline. But I remember very clearly that in "Maze", the system notified that Wu Junlan and Peng Cheng were both dead. Now I actually met again They. Also, the difficulty level of the dungeon I encountered changed. That means the timeline was reset, right?

"I was always curious about what was going on. Now that I saw tomorrow, I think I guessed something. He is someone from the system? So he is the one who changed the timeline? Only he has the possibility .”

Hearing this, Duan Yi was really curious about Bai Sinian's purpose.

Was he asking this out of pure curiosity, or was he doubting tomorrow's intentions?

After thinking for a while, Duan Yi said: "We are all victims of this game. Including tomorrow."

"The sky burial culture believes that the soul is immortal. But the system says our body is dead. So what are we playing games with now, soul? Consciousness?" Bai Sinian glanced at Duan Yi, "If you have nothing like me I know, you would guess unscrupulously with me. But you didn't. Hearing my question, you answered very cautiously just now. This can only show that you really know a lot more than us ordinary players."

Duan Yi laughed when he heard this. "Yes. You can think so. So if you are really the shadow of a nightmare, then come and play for a good person. After all, I am a good person and know a lot more than you."

"Ha, do you still doubt my identity?" Bai Sinian smiled, and then asked Duan Yi, "But I'm curious. If our physical body really died in the real world... how should we go back? Our body Probably burned to ashes and buried in a grave. In the eyes of all our relatives and friends, we are all dead. So how do we resurrect? How do we go back to the past?"

At this time, Duan Yi's expression became extremely serious, and his heart became a little heavy.

Because Bai Sinian's question was actually what he had been thinking about before.

In fact, he felt that this game was a scam a long time ago.

He wants to go down and see what all this is all about, so he is willing to do his best to win and try to go to the end.

But in the process, he felt like he was dead.At that time, he had already acquiesced in his heart that no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to return to reality.He played this game just looking for an opportunity to stand in front of the game designer, or to seek an answer.

He walked down with an attitude of not being willing to be played by the game, and he never expected to return to reality alive.

It is also for this reason that he is not afraid of death at all in this game.

——A person who thinks he is dead, what death is he afraid of?

But after dying once, Duan Yi's mood changed.

First, he was changed by Tomorrow.

He watched helplessly, and tomorrow he turned into a bloody Asura, just to save himself and send him home.

Secondly, he saw what Gu Liang and Yang Ye did.

His relatives and friends spared no effort to sneak into this game to find him, and told him that it is indeed possible to return to reality.

So Duan Yi now carries everyone's hope.

So he swore that he would return to reality.

Not only does he want to go back by himself, but he also wants to take it back tomorrow.

Right now, the wind was getting stronger, and the tents on both sides were even shaken from side to side.At the same time, the sand and dust in the wind also became larger, fascinating the human eye like a yellow mist, making it difficult to identify the way ahead.

At this moment, the sky is dark and the way forward is unclear, which makes people feel confused like the unknown future.

And the most frightening thing is the sound of the wind from far to near - the sound of the wind roaring like a wild beast.

Hearing such wind, no one dared to take a step out of the door, because the moment they opened the door and stepped into the desert, people seemed to be swallowed by the storm.

However, in this terrible wind and sand, Duan Yi opened his arms and faced the wind and sand head-on.

The serious look on his face gradually receded, and his briefly tranced eyes became firm and confident again.

Duan Yi walked head-on in this gust of wind, as if he was fighting against some kind of fate that was difficult to rewrite.

In fact, he knows how cruel the path he is taking now is that it forces people to abandon their conscience and morality, their nobility and elegance as human beings, and all the beautiful characters that human beings should have. It can inspire people to the greatest extent. Human animality forces people to fight like beasts for food in order to survive.

Many people have gradually abandoned their humanity on this road, leaving only their bloodthirsty animal nature.

But Duan Yi knew that he couldn't go with them, he couldn't be swallowed by this road.

Just like facing the current wind and sand, he can only face up to the difficulties, maybe it is his destiny to go against the current.

"We're going to go back. I don't know how it's going to go back now...but we're going to do it. We're going to get our bodies back, our lives back. We can all go home."

Duan Yi opened his mouth to say this sentence, his tone was extremely firm.

The wind was blowing back against his face, which should have completely swallowed his voice.

But when he said this, he was full of confidence, so his voice was very loud and sonorous. It traveled against the wind and floated to the ears of every player in front, and even to tomorrow's ear at the forefront of the team, and then penetrated the eardrum, hit In his soft yet hard heart.

Tomorrow is tall and tall. He is wearing armor and holding a spear in the front of the team. He is not like an NPC who is on the opposite side of the player. Instead, he is like a guide, leading everyone to a bright future.

Duan Yi's words flowed into tomorrow's heart like a warm current, and then spread throughout his limbs.

With a slight smile, he turned around tomorrow and looked at Duan Yi.

Across the gust of wind and yellow sand, the eyes of the two people just met from afar.

At that moment, any kind of words are superfluous.

With just one glance, they can already understand and trust each other.

·

About 15 minutes passed.A group of people arrived at the general's main camp.

During this journey, Bai Sinian didn't ask Duan Yi any more.

Duan Yi noticed that his expression was not as heavy as before.

Maybe it's because even though Duan Yi didn't tell him all the truth, he got the answer he wanted - a hope about going home.

I'm afraid that before asking Duan Yi, Bai Sinian himself was also hesitating-whether it makes sense to go on like this.

Duan Yi felt that his thoughts might be the same as his own at first, and suspected that all of this was a trick of the system.

Of course, their suspicions were not wrong.This game was originally a trick of Lord Taishan.

But in the end, the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind.Taishan Mansion has someone to deal with it, and people outside the game are working hard to fight.And they in the game should also go on unswervingly with confidence and hope.

·

The general met ten merchants in his tent.

And this camp is exactly the one that Duan Yi quietly visited yesterday and tomorrow.

Facing the businessmen, the general said bluntly: "I want to know what the princess told you."

This time, even Duan Yi didn't answer the general's words immediately.

Because he was still speculating about the general's intentions.

After a while, without waiting for the merchants to answer, the general said to himself: "Actually, I know. I'm afraid she told you... I killed the princess, right?"

Sighing, he said again: "Our king loves the princess very much. I am in a very bad situation when the princess suspects that I have killed her daughter. Do you know what happened last night? The princess forced the king to execute me .She even held the knife against Wang's neck!

"Thanks to the guard's tip-off, I led the troops to escort the palace overnight. But even so, the king didn't do anything to the princess. You see, she can still enter my barracks today...

"Last night, the king came to me on purpose and told me that the princess was seriously ill and her time was numbered. Her only wish before she died was to find the murderer who killed the princess. Take care of her. But... hey..."

Squinting his eyes and looking at Duan Yi and his party carefully, the general said: "The matter has come to this point, and I will not hide it from you. Because the princess doubts me, and the king indulges the princess, I am very worried about my situation. I have to give up People are responsible for those crimes. So when I heard that there was a Huaguo caravan coming here, I wanted to arrest you, beat you into a trick, and push everything on you. However, I heard that you were recruited by the princess, so I also I didn't dare to act rashly, and I didn't do anything to you. Now...

"Now my thoughts have also changed. The princess is looking for you because she wants you to investigate the princess, or to let you find evidence that I harmed the princess, right? I have a clear conscience about this matter, then I think about it again, Why should I ask you to bear the charges? I simply ask you to investigate this matter clearly.

"If you really have the ability to find out the truth, wouldn't you just return my innocence? Okay, now I can allow you to act freely. Of course, you are not completely free. You actually know about that strange painting, which means that you may be really It's a stranger who knows sorcery. Your suspicion of harming the princess has not been completely cleared.

"So you can investigate around during the day, and I don't restrict your movement. But you still need to return to this barracks every night. Of course, I will send soldiers to monitor your whereabouts anytime and anywhere. You don't want to take this opportunity to escape from Loulan."

Hearing this, Duan Yi smiled, and asked: "Who does the general want to watch us? Can I ask, let this soldier watch us?"

Duan Yi pointed to tomorrow, of course.

Hearing the words tomorrow, he turned his head to take a quiet look at Duan Yi, but smiled and said nothing.

Duan Yi blinked at him, then looked at the general, and heard him say: "Yes. But to prevent my soldier from being bribed by you. I will find someone to change shift at any time."

"It's easy to say." Duan Yi said, "It's just that if you want us to investigate the death of the princess and make you innocent, you have to explain exactly what happened on the wedding night between you and the princess, right?"

After a while, the general opened his mouth to tell the story of that night.

To everyone's surprise, what he said was not much different from what Dao Luo said.

"That night, after Dao Luo left, the princess and I were left in the new house. I should kiss her and become a real husband and wife with her. But... I suddenly felt that I did something wrong. What I love is not the princess, but Ah Yun The princess is just a girl who looks exactly like Ayun. But she is not Ayun after all, and their tempers and personalities are not alike. The princess has Ayun's appearance, but not Ayun's soul. So I regretted it at that moment.

"I did this wrong. I married the princess, but I don't love her. I'm sorry for her. I delayed her for the rest of my life. I'm also sorry for Ayun. I once swore to Ayun that in this life I only love her, and I will only have her as a wife. I am really... really sorry for everyone."

When he said this, the iron-blooded general's eyes turned red.

Duan Yi frowned when he saw this, he looked to the side, the girls seemed to be brought in when they heard this, their eyes turned red.

I only heard the general say again: "In short, I am very sad. I said sorry to the princess that night, and my heart was full of guilt and self-blame. The princess... is indeed innocent and understanding. She guessed that I was probably missing you. Yun, so he said, don't make things difficult for me, we will have a long time together, and she will gradually make me like her.

"Anyway, the two of us talked for a long time that night, and finally got tired of talking, and we both fell asleep with our clothes on. I don't know how long we slept...Suddenly, the maid named Dao Luo came in and said that she would give What kind of goat milk does the princess drink to help her sleep. Later, I woke up completely because I heard her screams, and she said that the princess was dead. I really... really don’t know how the princess died. "

Heaving a long sigh, the general buried his face in his palm, not knowing whether he was blaming himself or regretting the death of the princess.

Duan Yi stepped forward and asked him: "Then why did you detain Dao Luo and why did you bury the princess quickly?"

The general raised his head, frowned and said, "I know Dao Luo has been guarding the door. Of course, I suspect that she let other people in to kill the princess. I suspect that she is cooperating with the thief. Of course, I detain her for interrogation. !"

Duan Yi: "Do you suspect that Dao Luo is one of the murderers?"

"Of course there is a possibility. I have strong martial arts skills, amazing hearing, and very keen. When fighting, I can hear the enemy's footsteps hundreds of miles away! If someone enters the house in the middle of the night and kills the princess, I will definitely be awakened Yes. But I was completely unconscious, which means that I was drugged or hallucinated. The only one who was close to me and the princess that night was Daoluo. The only person who could quietly smoke smoke in our room or perform other illusions was only It could be her!"

The general looked at Duan Yi seriously, and then mocked, "I know, you were brainwashed by the princess, you think I killed the princess, right? You think I detained Dao Luo because I was afraid that she would tell what happened that night? But let me ask you, if I was really afraid that Dao Luo would tell about the fact that only the princess and I were in the same room that night, why didn't I just kill her? I didn't detain her because I was afraid that she would be a so-called Witness, I'm really interrogating her!"

Hearing this, his heart sank slightly, and Duan Yi asked the general again: "You have explained this matter clearly for the time being. But there is another question, why did you bury the princess immediately, even without informing the king and princess? "

"Your words are even more strange." The general's voice sounded a little angry, "Why didn't I inform the king and princess of such a big event as the princess' death? Of course I sent soldiers to the palace to report the incident. It’s just that the little soldier went to drink on the way. I found out about it afterwards and executed him according to military discipline! Everyone knows about it. Just ask any soldier and you’ll find out!”

Facing the general's anger, Duan Yi calmly continued to ask: "Even if this soldier is negligent, why didn't the king and princess be there when the princess was buried? Didn't you send someone else to report?"

The general stood up and said: "Of course I sent other people to report, but the soldier who left without authorization delayed the time, so the king and queen didn't know about it until later.

"Besides, I was really eager to bury the princess. But it wasn't because I wanted to hide any evidence, but because it was summer and the weather was hot. If I didn't bury the princess, would I let her body rot?

"Finally, on the day of the funeral, I didn't wait for the king and princess to arrive. I prepared everything for the funeral, but I didn't let the princess be buried immediately, because I was waiting for the king and princess. Waiting for them to come Only when I see the princess for the last time will I let the princess go to the ground. But I never expected that in a painting, someone suddenly came and snatched the princess away!"

"Where did that painting come from?" Duan Yi asked.

The general said: "How do I know? That painting suddenly emerged from the soil!"

On the way the princess got married to General Fort, she encountered wind and sand, stopped and threw the painting into the desert.

She died suddenly after she got married to General Fort. The General found a place for her in the desert and planned to bury her as her tomb.

It happened that the place where he dug the grave was the place where the princess dropped the scroll, so the scroll appeared again.

Although the principle of the interaction between the scroll and the real world is not yet known, this is indeed a reasonable explanation.

Duan Yi didn't ask about the picture scroll yet, he just stared into the general's eyes and asked, "Then answer me one more question."

The general clenched his fists, as if suppressing his anger.

It took him a while to sit down again, and said, "Heh...an arrogant Chinese businessman. You can ask. Anyway, I have a clear conscience."

Duan Yi forced her to ask: "When you buried the princess, why did you let her wear a wedding dress?"

The general said: "I said that I don't love the princess. And I can't be sorry to Ah Yun. So I can't touch the princess. The princess was wearing a wedding dress when she was alive. After she died, I let her go to the ground like this."

"But she is still a beauty after all." Duan Yi deliberately said in a soft tone, "No matter what, Ah Yun has been dead for many years. Such a beautiful princess is sleeping next to you, and you never thought of untying it." Take a look at her clothes? To be honest, if it was me... such a beautiful person is in front of me, even if it is a corpse, then I would like to—"

Duan Yi was so angry that the general stood up again, pointed at him and said, "Don't think everyone is as dirty as you! I respect the princess whether she is alive or dead! And no matter how many years Ah Yun has died, I will not be sorry for her either! So I will not untie the princess's clothes! She came wearing a wedding dress, and when I send her away, I will let her wear the wedding dress completely!"

"General, since you asked us to investigate this matter, we must ask everything clearly. Don't be angry if you offend. We are just talking quickly." Duan Yi said, "Okay. You haven't seen the princess At first glance... But, it doesn't seem to be common sense for someone to be buried in a red wedding dress. Haven't you ever thought about asking other people to change her clothes?"

"The only girl who accompanied her was Dao Luo. But as I said, I was interrogating Dao Luo. Did I let her come out of the cell to change clothes for the princess? Besides, the other guards brought by the princess were all men. I There is no girl in this army camp. In this case, who do I ask to change the princess's clothes? No one is suitable!

"Speaking of which, although I don't love the princess, she said that she likes me very much. She said that it is her life's dream to marry me in a wedding dress. I..."

At this point, the general's voice seemed to be a little choked up, and then he sighed heavily, and then said, "This wedding dress carries her best wishes. I don't think there is any problem with letting her be buried in a wedding dress. You... "

His tone sank, and the smile on the general's face disappeared, "What else do you want to ask?"

On the side, Hong Xiangang opened his mouth to ask something, Duan Yi suddenly said: "There is nothing to ask."

Hearing this, the general waved his hand: "Then you guys go down. I'm tired too. If you have anything to do later, you go directly to the deputy general. He knows everything about me. Step down."

"Okay." Nodding to the general, Duan Yi walked out of the camp first.

Hong Xian cursed and followed out. "Aren't you fucking sick? I still haven't asked. Why don't you ask?"

Duan Yi ignored Hong Xian.

He walked all the way until he was completely away from the main camp and returned to the tent where they lived before stopping.

"Fuck, you're not dumb, are you explaining?" Hong Xian scolded him.

Duan Yi turned around, looked at Hong Xian and said with a sneer: "Okay, if you want to find death, you can continue to ask the general for questioning."

Hong Xian froze for a moment: "What do you mean?"

"Duan Yi is telling the truth." It was Bai Sinian who spoke.

Frowning slightly, he said again: "There are loopholes in the general's words. This has already shown that he is basically the murderer. If we continue to pester and make it look like an interrogation, then he may become suspicious. He thinks we have found his weakness. By then, he might really kill us."

No. 2 Dou Shuang and No. 3 Tong Nian walked over, only to hear Tong Nian ask: "What do you mean? Neither Shuang Shuang nor I understand."

Duan Yi said: "It's still about the wedding dress. In fact, the logic inside it is very simple. According to the general's statement at the beginning, he suspected that someone used illusion or smoke to stun him, and then entered the house and killed the princess. He suspected that the guard outside The Dao Luo is the one who cooperates with the real murderer. So he said that he detained Dao Luo for interrogating her. "

"Yes. Is there a problem?" Tong Nian was puzzled.

"It's really not a problem if you look at it alone." Duan Yidao, "but combined with the wedding dress, it's not right. If you are a general and you suspect that someone joined Dao Luo to kill the princess, in this case, you will definitely try your best to investigate Clarify the truth and clear your suspicions. Otherwise, everyone will suspect you of being in the same room with the princess.

"Then interrogating Dao Luo is of course one of the things you must do. But you have another more important thing to do—you must at least find out how the princess died. So you will definitely take off the Her wedding dress, look at her dead body. Was she strangled? Stabbed to death? Or poisoned? You can only know by looking at her dead body.

"But you heard the general's answer. He actually said that he has never seen the princess's body. Even if this statement is easily suspicious, he will bite him to death because he has never seen the princess's body. This is illogical If you say, I was not sure before. But after hearing his deliberate concealment, I can only basically believe that he is the murderer. "

The author has something to say: the murals they saw before had funeral maids.But not here.

This is a foreshadowing, not a bug.
