Chosen Prophet [Unlimited]

In the desert 4000 years ago, the timeline has been adjusted many times, and the history has been restored many times, and it has long since departed from its original appearance.

From Dongfang Yu's point of view, when she left the celestial burial platform and rushed to join Hong Xian and his party, she just happened to see Shu Rongrong sprained her foot and grabbed No. 3 Tong Nian.

Seeing Hong Xian leading Dou Shuang to the front, Wu Junlan, Yun Hao, and Hu Jin in the center, and Shu Rongrong pulling Tong Nian to walk slowly with her at the end, Dongfang Yu felt that there was something wrong, so she He didn't show up for the time being, but hid in the dark to observe the situation at Shu Rongrong's place.

Dongfang Yu could see clearly what happened afterwards.

Along the way, Shu Rongrong was holding Tong Nian's arm while questioning her, seeming to lead her towards a certain place intentionally or unintentionally.

Not long after that, Tong Nian suddenly knelt down towards the west and kowtowed like a devout believer.

Tong Nian was muttering something, but Dongfang Yu couldn't hear her very clearly because of the distance and because her voice was very soft and low.But she could see that there was no surprise on Shu Rongrong's face, as if she already knew what was going to happen.

After a while, Tong Nian fell to the ground, Shu Rongrong sniffed her, and then poked the ground a few times with her hands, as if covering something with soil.

After doing all this, Shu Rongrong also fell down, seemingly unconscious.

But Dongfang Yu thinks she is probably pretending.Because she passed out after a long time after burying things, and her mind was very clear from the beginning to the end, and there were no other abnormal manifestations.

Seeing this, Dongfang Yu recalled the details of Shu Rongrong's abnormal performance just now, and a guess that she thought was very close to the truth slowly appeared in her mind.

She thought that Shu Rongrong already knew that there was a certain trap buried in the sand, and she deliberately took Tong Nian to step into that trap, and after Tong Nian was really knocked unconscious, she buried that thing, and finally pretended to be knocked unconscious with her.

In this way, about 10 minutes later, Dongfang Yu looked forward along the road. On the desert, Hong Xian and others in front of him could no longer see the traces. Abnormal.

Dongfang Yu hid behind a big rock on the side of the road, and waited quietly, holding her breath. About 5 minutes later, she saw No. 2 Dou Shuang running over while crying, shouting that something happened to Tong Nian and she wanted to save her. Tong Nian.

Followed by Hong Xian, he looked at everything in front of him in amazement.After Dou Shuang rushed to Tong Nian first, Hong Xian walked up to Shu Rongrong and grabbed her shoulder and shook her.

Dongfang Yu clearly saw that Shu Rongrong put her hand on Hong Xian's forearm, and then pinched him with her fingers, as if hinting at him.

Not long after, Dou Shuang hugged Tong Nian and cried, and Hong Xian also hugged Shu Rongrong into his arms.

"What happened? How did you know they were fainted?" Hong Xian asked.

Dou Shuang said: "Because I turned back the time. I wanted to come back to save them, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect it to be too late. I ran here earlier, but they still fainted."

Hearing these words, Dongfang Yu realized that when she was hiding behind the stone, time actually flowed backward once.

In addition, it seemed that when they found Tong Nian and Shu Rongrong who were unconscious, it was later than now.

This time, Dou Shuang returned to 10 minutes ago, and then accelerated to run over.But she was still a step too late.The two were still fainted.

After a while, Hong Xian talked to Dou Shuang, confirming the details before going back in time, and suddenly heard Dou Shuang say: "Nian Nian?! Are you awake? How are you? Talk!"

"Is she awake? What about Rongrong?" Hong Xian looked at Shu Rongrong in his arms.

Shu Rongrong's back was facing Dongfang Yu at the moment.Dongfang Yu couldn't see if she was winking at Hong Xian, but Hong Xian's expression obviously changed.

It can be seen that even though he was pinched by Shu Rongrong just now, he still hasn't completely let go of his worries.Now that he received some kind of secret signal from Shu Rongrong, he understood it, and began to cooperate with her in acting.

After a while, there were cries on the desert one after another.

Shu Rongrong was crying in Hong Xian's arms until her eyes were red and swollen, while Dou Shuang was crying to Tong Nian.

During the process, Dongfang Yu heard Tong Nian say something strange, like she was seriously ill or dying.But Tong Nian looked calm and looked very detached.

After a while, Wu Junlan and Yun Hao suddenly ran over.

I saw that the two grabbed Dou Shuang's hand each, pulled her away from Tong Nian's side tacitly, and then took her far away from Tong Nian's side.

"What are you doing?" Dou Shuang shouted in a crying voice, with a very surprised expression.

"What the hell?" This was a voice that Hong Xian didn't understand.

Only to hear Yun Hao say: "I went back 10 minutes. If Tong Nian is allowed to hold Dou Shuang like this, she will kill Dou Shuang."

Dou Shuang looked at Tong Nian in shock, and murmured, "Impossible...Impossible..."

Yun Hao said to her: "Tong Nian is not right anymore, haven't you noticed?"

Dou Shuang was stunned for three seconds, then looked at Tong Nian who was sitting blankly on the ground. "Missing you—"

Tong Nian just looked at her and smiled: "I'm planning to go to heaven. I don't want to go alone. How lonely is it? You accompany me... ok?"

Dou Shuang stopped talking, obviously already understood that what Yun Hao said was true.

At this point, Dongfang Yu knew that time had flowed backwards at least twice.

——Dou Shuang went back for 10 minutes, trying to save Tong Nian, but failed; Yun Hao went back for 10 minutes, trying to save Dou Shuang, but succeeded.

So... is it possible for Shu Rongrong to also turn back time?

Otherwise, how could she know exactly where the traps are?

Who was the real victim for the first time?

I'm afraid it can only be Hong Xian.

Dongfang Yu is not completely sure whether Shu Rongrong has flown back in time.

But Dongfang Yu is at least 90% sure that she is the one who designed to frame Tong Nian.

At this moment, the girls are in the tent.

Looking at Dou Shuang, Dongfang Yu narrated everything he had seen and heard. "You go back in time and have the memory of that time. I don't have that memory. What I saw was the time you dragged Hong Xian back. But I think what I said is not the same as what you saw and heard. Can you match it?"

Dou Shuang didn't speak, but her face was ashen, and her hands were tightly clenched into fists.

"Everything I said is true. By the way, in addition, I want to explain that I just said some speculation about your relationship with No. 3. I didn't mean to belittle or see your relationship clearly. I just wanted to test the real relationship between you and No. 3." , and to test your determination to take revenge." Dongfang Yu said to Dou Shuang in this way again, "Now I agree with what you said, you do have real friendship with No. 3. I saw your determination to avenge her, so I Dare to tell you the truth."

Seeing Dou Shuang's face change slightly, Dongfang Yu said: "Don't blame me for being scheming or anything. I was also tricked all the way here. If I didn't hide my thoughts, I would have died long ago."

"Heh... You found out that I really want to avenge No. 3, and then? Can you use me to harm No. 11 and No. 12?" Dou Shuang looked at Dongfang Yu with a sneer, "So you are a wolf? Going back to No. 11 and No. 12 should be good people, you asked me to kill them both and avenge No. 3... We good people kill each other, and you werewolves can recover the disadvantages, right?"

"First of all, I'm not a werewolf, I'm a good person. I told you about this, but I didn't ask you to do it now. We need to think long-term about this matter. Therefore, we must get rid of them without affecting the outcome of this game. .”

Dongfang Yu said, "Secondly, the reason why I got rid of them has nothing to do with the camps and positions of the two sides. I just think it is not good for us to keep such people on the scene. They are dangerous and very cunning. In the last dungeon You've seen the No. 8 in the past. He is very bad, but it is easy for people to know that he is bad and guard against it. But Shu Rongrong and Hong Xian are not.

"It's hard to catch their tell this time, and let me know what they are. Then I think such teammates must not stay in the team. Otherwise, we won't even know how to die in the future."

Hearing this, Dou Shuang just opened her mouth to say something, but soon she fell silent again.

After a long time, she returned to the position of hugging her knees again. "You said it beautifully. I almost believed it..."

"But why don't you believe me?" Dongfang Yu asked.

"I don't know. I really can't find any flaws in your words. But it's because you are so tight...I can't believe you." Dou Shuang looked up at Dongfang Yu, "Your scheming is so scary The evil of No. 8 is easy to see, and it's really good; as for Shu Rongrong and Hong Xian, although they don't look like vicious people at first glance, in fact, they didn't get much favor from us. Only you ...Your scheming is so deep that no one can see it at all."

"If you don't believe me, then who do you believe?" Dongfang Yu asked again.

After thinking for a while, Dou Shuang said: "Before this, I never trusted anyone except No. 3. But now... I think I can choose to trust Duan Yi. I only dare to trust him. If you dare to treat me like you just now Tell Duan Yi everything you said, and I dare to believe you."

Dongfang Yu took a deep look at Dou Shuang after hearing this, and then sighed: "I didn't tell Duan Yi just because I thought he was too upright. He might just wait for Shu Rongrong and Hong Xian to tie himself up instead of I will choose to actively design to kill them. I did not mean to criticize him. On the contrary, I admire him. But admiration is admiration, it does not mean that I agree with all his decisions. So I am afraid that after telling him, he will destroy my plan."

Dou Shuang didn't speak, Dongfang Yu looked at her and said again: "Since you haven't thought about it yet, then you and I each take a step back. Anyway, we are all good people this time, so it's not appropriate to rashly harm 11 and 12." .So... I will give you time to think about it. During this time, I will not take any action. In exchange, you will not tell anyone about my plan to clear the 11th and 12th.

"Think about it, what if Duan Yi is too upright and chooses to let Shu Rongrong and Hong Xian go, and gives them a plan to fight back, and when they realize everything, what if they kill you and me instead?

"I know, maybe due to various concerns, you dare not cooperate with me or make a move. It doesn't matter. I will give you time, and you can think about it slowly. But during this time, your smartest choice is When our conversation today doesn’t happen. You don’t do anything. That way, you have a choice as to whether the next step is to step forward or back. Right?”

After being silent for a long time, Dou Shuang looked at Dongfang Yu and said, "Yeah. I understand. Let's not talk about anything else, I agree with what you said."

·

In the yard where the skull wall is.

Wu Junlan and Hu Jin took the lead to find places to hide near the west gate and south gate respectively.

Duan Yize and tomorrow slipped out of the yard first.

There happened to be a Populus euphratica forest outside the courtyard, Duan Yi walked over and hid in it, preparing to enter the courtyard after seeing the two believers leave.

But when Duan Yi held tomorrow's hand and was about to lead him into the Populus euphratica forest, he saw that tomorrow let go of his hand and walked into the yard.

"Xiaotian?" Duan Yi stopped him in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Tomorrow said: "I'd better go over and watch them. Wait until we leave with them, and then come to join you."

When he turned sideways and said this tomorrow, the morning light hit his tall nose and stretched his slender figure extremely long on the yellow sand.

The light and shadow blurred out a sharp outline on his well-defined facial features, making him look capable and beautiful.

Duan Yi looked at him for a moment, knowing that he could not completely trust Yun Hao and Bai Sinian, and wanted to go over and stare at him.

"Okay, you should also be careful." Duan Yi said.

"Yeah." Ming Ming nodded to him and strode into the yard.

When returning to the courtyard from the west gate tomorrow, it happened that two believers walked to the center of the courtyard.

It seems that they were called out by Bai Sinian and Yun Hao.

The second senior brother was still good at talking as always, and he didn't deliberately hide anything.

Looking at the second senior brother, Bai Sinian first asked: "Master, I didn't have time to ask last time, what are these skulls embedded in the wall for? It's really scary to look at."

The second senior brother said: "We in Xiangxiong Kingdom believe that after a person dies, he can go to the heaven after going through the celestial burial ceremony. This celestial burial——"

"Oh, we know something about sky burials. After all, we have traveled all over the world for so many years." Bai Sinian asked tentatively, "But we have all heard before that sky burials will completely chop people up. Here...why? Would you just leave the head alone?"

The second senior brother said: "This, oh, this is what the senior brother suggested to do after we came to Loulan. Compared with the body, the skull is actually nothing. It doesn't matter whether the vulture that loves to eat human flesh eats the skull or not." relationship, so just feeding them their bodies is enough to do meritorious deeds! Hmm... The senior brother seems to be saying that the head is a very important thing in the human body. In case the soul gets lost and cannot ascend to the heaven, it can still rely on the head Find the way back... that's probably what he said. I can't remember the details."

"So that's how it is—" Bai Sinian glanced at the skulls, and asked tentatively again, "Are there more skulls here than we did yesterday? I see two very new skulls in the corner. What's the matter?" What's the matter? We rushed over early in the morning, could it be possible that such a ceremony was held here in the morning? That's a pity, I didn't see it..."

The second senior brother nodded: "Ah, yes, before the sun rose, we held two celestial burial ceremonies. Have you people in Huaguo never seen these ceremonies, so you want to visit them? Then you can get them next time." Come early. Come late and you won't see anything."

Dazed for a moment, Bai Sinian asked him: "Next time? According to you, many people will come here for sky burial recently?"

The second senior brother said: "Recently, senior brother has donated and spread the teachings of Zhang Zhung everywhere, so more and more people believe in our teaching. According to senior senior brother, he calculated that many people will die in the near future, and they will all come here Sky burial!

"So you see, my junior brother and I are chanting scriptures here day and night, just to pray for these people! Just this morning, two corpses completed the celestial burial ceremony, and my junior brother and I are chanting scriptures, hoping that their souls will be safe. ascend to heaven."

Bai Sinian asked again: "Then can you see these souls? Don't be surprised, I'm just very curious if souls really exist in this world. You and the younger brother assist the elder brother to hold the celestial burial ceremony, or during the process of chanting sutras. , have you seen a soul?"

The second brother smiled embarrassedly, and then said: "Of course the soul exists. In the past, I followed the master to find the reincarnation of the master. He was only ten years old at that time, but he already possessed great wisdom! He is the soul belt. Reincarnated with memories! As for me... my junior brother and I really can’t see the soul. But this is because our cultivation base is too shallow. Regarding this point, I also regret it very much.”

On the side, Yun Hao couldn't help asking: "Anyone who believes in your religion can accept such a sky burial ceremony? But I heard that it's not like this."

The second senior brother said: "When we were still in the Xiangxiong Kingdom, it was indeed not like this. Only princes and grandchildren can enjoy such treatment after death. After the death of ordinary people, they are buried in the ground and in water. It's just— —”

After a pause, the second senior brother smiled and said, "We followed the princess to Loulan to spread the teachings of Zhang Zhung. The senior brother said that as long as the believers are devout enough, we have to let their souls have the opportunity to go to heaven." What's more, all living beings should be equal, and their status and class should not determine whether their souls can ascend to heaven. Therefore, in this place, as long as they are believers, they have the opportunity for sky burial. We don't care about their birth.

"I think... hehe, what Eldest Brother said is very right. I joined the religion... because my family couldn't afford it. But Eldest Brother is really a person with great wisdom. In the past [-] years in our monastery, so many Among the multi-religious believers, he may be the only one who can finally become a Buddha and go to the world of the Western Paradise."

Hearing this, Bai Sinian and Yun Hao looked at each other, looked at the second senior brother, and asked again: "So...you admire the senior brother very much. Do you think everything he says is right?"

The second senior brother smiled honestly: "I don't think there is anything wrong with him. He gives alms everywhere and has a heart to save all living beings. I admire him very much."

"What about the little junior brother?" Bai Sinian asked again.

"Of course the little brother is the same as me." The second brother said, "The little brother almost starved to death on the side of the road back then, but the senior brother picked him up. He is very grateful to the senior brother and regards him as a reborn parent. He also admires me as much as I do." Big Brother."

"Cough...well, I'm sorry, but there's one thing that I told you earlier." Yun Hao interrupted suddenly.

"What's the matter?" The second senior brother looked at Yun Hao curiously.

Yun Hao said: "We came here to tell you that we saw a comatose believer in the desert. It should be your elder brother. After coming here, I asked you a few more questions out of curiosity, but I forgot about it." The important thing... I just remembered, hey, sin, sin—"

Yun Hao's words were immediately interrupted by the younger brother.

He who had been silent all this time asked anxiously: "Where is the senior brother? Take us there quickly!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll take you to find it." Yun Hao turned around and walked out of the yard, "Come with us."

As soon as Yun Hao turned around, Bai Sinian immediately followed him.

Seeing this, the junior brother followed without hesitation.

The second senior brother touched his forehead, as if he was sweating anxiously, so he also hurried to the gate of the yard.It's just that when he just walked to the door, he seemed to notice something, so he looked at tomorrow who was standing near the west gate of the yard.

"Is there any order from the general?" The second senior brother asked hesitantly.

"No. I came here to ask you something. I am very curious about the teachings of your church and would like to join. But this is not urgent. Seeing that you have something important to do, go ahead. I'm going back. Change Come visit again tomorrow." After finishing these words tomorrow, he left the courtyard gate.

With a soft breath, the second senior brother seemed to be relieved. After everyone left, he hastily locked the courtyard door and left.

·

On the side, in the Populus euphratica forest.

Duan Yi hid behind the tree, seeing Yun Hao and Bai Sinian leading the two senior brothers all the way forward, and before them, he would leave here earlier tomorrow and walk far away, turning a corner in the direction of the small sand dune ahead disappeared.

At this moment, Duan Yi watched the backs of these four people for a while, and after they disappeared near the sand dunes, Duan Yi left Populus euphratica forest and came to the west gate.

Seeing that Duan Yi was coming, Wu Junlan raised her head from behind a water tank near the base of the wall, and gestured to him that she was ready.

Duan Yi nodded at her, glanced at the locked wooden door, and then went straight to the low wall next to it.

The top of the wall is covered with broken tiles, which are deeply embedded in the wall, which is intended to prevent people from overturning the wall.

Duan Yi put his hands on the low wall to test the height, and then put his hands on the water tank next to him to test the smoothness.

After counting in his mind, he took a few steps back in the sand, staring at the direction of the low wall, calculating the distance in his heart.

After visually retreating to the approximate position, Duan Yi rubbed his palms, and then immediately ran towards the water tank.

After a few big strides, Duan Yi jumped up before approaching the water tank, stepped on the edge of the water tank to borrow strength, and the whole person rose up into the air, with his head tilted down, his back waist Straightening up, his body muscles were smooth to the extreme. He volleyed over the low wall in a way similar to a back jump high jump, and then supported the ground with both hands, turned over and landed firmly on the ground.

Inside the courtyard gate, Duan Yi clapped his palms to remove the dust, and then walked straight to the room where the three believers lived.

Outside the gate of the courtyard, tomorrow, who made a quick detour, happened to see Duan Yi's series of actions just now.

His eyes dimmed slightly, and he will follow suit tomorrow, entering the courtyard in a similar way to Duan Yi, and then quickly approach the house. "Brother Yi? I'm here."

Duan Yi closed the door just now, now he hastened to open the door to let tomorrow enter the house, then closed the door again and bowed his head to start exploring.

While looking for things in the house, Duan Yi asked him: "Did they mention any important information just now?"

"Yes." Tomorrow concluded, "Judging from the situation of the second and junior brothers, they adore and admire Daguang very much. In their eyes, Daguang is absolutely a good person. As for what he really wants to do, Daguang It was hidden from them. It is estimated that Daguang is also afraid that they will find out his true colors. In addition, it is indeed Daguang's suggestion to use skulls to build the wall here. Judging from what the second brother said, maybe it has something to do with the soul."

Speaking of this, tomorrow I will relay the original words of the second senior brother to Duan Yiting.

After listening, Duan Yi nodded: "Well... so, these two senior brothers probably don't know what Daguang wants to do, and they are not accomplices. In this way, the only one we have to deal with is actually Daguang One person. Maybe you can instigate the second senior brother. But in short, let's find something first. By the way—”

Looking towards tomorrow, Duan Yi realized later that he walked over and took his hand to look at it, and asked, "How did you get in? You didn't hurt your hand, did you?"

"No." Looking at Duan Yi tomorrow, he smiled, "I followed your example."

Duan Yi was a little surprised: "It's amazing. I never asked you, where did you learn it?"

Tomorrow casually explained: "When I was captured by The Moon, they forced me to learn some fighting skills. After all, sometimes we have to deal with some more dangerous situations."

Duan Yi couldn't help frowning and cursing a few words, and asked tomorrow: "I still want you to be able to write and fight? Did you get hurt before? At that time, you were still a child, and you wouldn't really fight with other forces. pass?"

"No. I'm fine." Ming Ming said, "I just feel..."

"Huh? What do you think?" Duan Yi asked curiously.

Tomorrow, he took a deep look at Duan Yi, leaned close to his ear, and said in a low voice: "I just think that brother Xiao Yi was very handsome just now."

Duan Yi was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red.

In his opinion, it was his wife teasing him openly, so he...he couldn't be cowardly either!

The Adam's apple moved up and down unconsciously, Duan Yi pinched tomorrow's hand, and under the mentality of "I can't be cowardly", he forced a calm joke: "When will I not be handsome anymore?"

Tomorrow smiled and replied: "Well, Brother Xiao Yi is always handsome."

"Cough... that... find clues! Hurry up!"

Duan Yi let go of tomorrow's hand, and quickly turned around to investigate.

·

Duan Yi and Tian Tian quickly figured out the structure here.

The purpose of the three earth houses is basically clear.

Two of them are regarded as bedrooms, one for Daguang himself, and one for the second brother and the younger brother.

In the remaining room, there are Buddha statues, futons, butter lamps, and some rosary beads and prayer wheels. It is the place where the three of them usually chant scriptures and recite teachings.

The sound of chanting sutras that Duan Yi and the others heard before all came from this room.

After looking around briefly, Duan Yihe focused on searching Daguang's room tomorrow.

They judged that this was Daguang's room, and the reason was very simple. The clothes, equipment, etc. here were much more elaborate than the room next to it, and it should match the status of the senior brother.

Duan Yi's exploration was a violent dismantling method, and he quickly dismantled the whole bed.

But this is indeed very efficient, and the roll of sheepskin hidden in the bed immediately rolled out.

Duan Yi immediately picked up the scroll, unfolded it, and found that it was a... let's call it a picture of a beauty.

Because this is indeed a painting of a girl.

The girl in the painting has a slender and graceful figure, wearing a gorgeous and beautiful long dress, with a graceful and charming figure, as if she is dancing a moving dance.

The only fly in the ointment is that she has no face.

The part where the facial features should have been drawn is blank, and I don't know if it is waiting for someone to fill it in, or if she has no face herself.

As for the inscription on the picture scroll, there are two words written - "Daguang."

"Isn't this painting of Princess Loulan Xiaoge?" Duan Yi frowned and said, "This painting depicts a faceless beauty, which is already very strange. But the signature is even more strange. The person who drew the painting is actually Da Light? Daguang was born blind, how did he paint?"
