Raiders of the Queen of the Damned

Mei lit a fire under the stone steps of the shrine and kept watch over the source overnight.

When the distant horizon is bright white, the dead wood that has been burned all night is gradually extinguished, and the light smoke slowly rises and pulls into thin light gray lines.Su Nuo walked out of the forest with a cold and heroic face in the morning light, walked past Mei without squinting, and came straight to the gate of the shrine.

That night, Su Nuo tore up all the nearby shrines, caught the gods living in them, and asked them if they had a way to eliminate "karma".

The answers he got were similar—I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know.This made him very dissatisfied. If he hadn't taken into account Yuan's karma, he would have killed these useless gods.

Su Nuo doesn't believe that there is no way to eliminate karma in the world, so he plans to go to a further place to see and catch a few more powerful and knowledgeable gods to ask.

Yuan was taking a rest by the wall with her eyes closed, maybe because she had too much karma on her body, she felt very tired.

The door of the shrine was opened.

Knowing that Su Nuo must be back, Yuan Yuan raised his eyelashes slightly, and opened his dark eyes to look at the man who was walking from the door.

Su Nuo stood still in front of Yuan, looked down at her and said, "I'm leaving for a few days."

Source blinked.

Su Nuo continued: "You stay here." He would move faster by himself, but if he brought Yuan with him, it might slow him down.

Yuan nodded.

"If you don't run around," Su Nuo knelt down and pinched Yuan's soft cheek, "I can open the door and let Mei walk around here with you."

It is good not to be detained in the shrine, Yuan said softly: "Okay."

Her voice was still a little hoarse, and after a night of development, the purple pinch marks on her neck turned into bruises, making her look even more terrifying.

Su Nuo looked at the ferocious fingerprints on Yuan's neck that he pinched out, and felt a feeling that he had never felt before, a bit bitter, and felt that the fingerprints were an eyesore.He touched the bruise with his fingertips, and asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"

Yuan's butterfly-like eyelashes fluttered, and a soft and hoarse voice sounded: "It hurts."

"This is the fate of your disobedience." Su Nuo said.

Source: "... oh."

Su Nuo untied the knot on Yuan Yuan's belt.

Yuan knew that he wanted to see her karma, so she didn't resist, and let Su Nuo take off her clothes, revealing her naked body.

Although Su Nuo didn't kill any gods that night, as an uninvited guest, he fought a lot, and it was inevitable that some gods would be injured by him.He checked Yuan's body carefully and found that no new karma had been born. It seemed that as long as he didn't kill the other party, he could do anything.

After knowing it, Su Nuo threw the clothes on Yuan, got up and said, "Wait for me to come back."

Yuan lowered his head and let out a soft "um", and put on his clothes silently.

She heard the sound of Su Nuo's footsteps gradually receding, and then the sound of the door opening and closing, but this time it was not locked.Then she heard faint words from outside the door, it was Su Nuo telling Mei that she was optimistic about her these days.

Su Nuo left.

Yuan put on his clothes and pushed open the door, and saw Mei was cleaning the fire he had burned yesterday.

"Master God, good morning." Mei said.

Minamoto gave him a slight nod as a response, then leaped up to the roof of the shrine lightly as if weightless, and sat on the edge of the roof as usual.Her calves hanging outside the eaves dangled, and the black spots on her slender ankles were faintly visible under the hem of the clothes.

Mei saw the black spots on her ankles, and couldn't help but ask, "My lord... what is that?"

After speaking, he felt that he had asked something that shouldn't be asked, and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I offended you by talking too much!"

Yuan didn't feel offended, she recalled the position Mei was looking at just now, raised one calf halfway, and asked in a flat tone: "Are you talking about this?"

Half of her raised calf was exposed from the hem, and her snow-white jade skin seemed to be polluted, with large and small smudged black spots.

Mei looked at Heiban and nodded curiously.

"It's my karma." Yuan spit out this sentence softly, and slowly closed his eyes.

Mei didn't continue to ask what "karma" is, because he felt that the gods closed their eyes because they didn't want to say more.

In fact, he still has a lot to ask.For example, what is the relationship between Yuan and the "four-handed monster"?Why did the monster lock her up?Look at the bruises on her neck, the monster will still hurt her, why doesn't she leave?After all, she is a god, so it shouldn't be difficult to leave under his guard, right?

But he is just an ordinary human being, and he has neither the ability nor the right to ask these questions. It was a surprise that the god answered his question just now.

The round sun jumped out of the horizon, Yuan sat on the eaves under the sunlight, his long hair like a crow's feather was covered with the brilliance of the first sun, and his beautiful face was as pale as snow.Her pure white clothes were covered with a light golden color by the sunlight, and the jade necklace on her chest reflected the soft light.

Mei stared blankly at the scroll-like scene in front of her.

Gollum.

His hungry belly rumbled, especially in the quiet atmosphere.

Yuan opened his eyes and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Mei lowered her head, her face flushed: "Yes."

"You can go and eat." Yuan Xiang lay on his side on the roof of the shrine, and closed his eyes again, "I won't run."

Mei Chaoyuan bowed, and ran away sullenly to prepare food.

For several days, Yuan sat on the roof and listened to people's wishes, just like it did a long time ago.If it weren't for the dark spots on her body, her weakened body, and Mei who stayed by her side and guarded her, she would have felt that Sombra and Su Nuo were just a dream.

The red sun is falling in the west, and the dusk is heavy.

Minamoto watched as the last person left the shrine today.

"My lord, do you want some water?" Mei held the pottery bowl and looked up at the source on the roof of the shrine.

He discovered that Yuan does not need to eat human food, but occasionally drinks water.

Yuan glanced at Mei, jumped off the roof, landed lightly, and took the pottery bowl in his hand.

In fact, she is not thirsty, but if she does not answer, Mei will often come to ask her if she wants to drink water.She had pondered for a long time, unable to understand what such behavior meant, but the best solution was to ask her for the first time, and she would take the water.

Yuan brought the pottery bowl to his lips, and took a sip.

At this time, a traveler came in a hurry and came to the shrine.

He looked young and tired, but his hazel eyes were still bright and clear.He bowed politely and asked, "I have finished my dry food on the road, and I haven't eaten for two days. Can you give me some food and water to satisfy my hunger?"

Now there is some food in the shrine, but it is all offered to the source by the believers.

Mei wanted to help the young traveler, but he couldn't decide this matter on his own, so he looked at Yuan.

Yuan said, "Give it to him."

She doesn't need to eat human food. She gave Mei the offerings in the past, but now she just gives them to someone else.

Mei responded and ran to the shrine to get food.

Yuan stood still, noticing that the traveler was staring directly at the ceramic bowl containing clear water in her hand, and swallowed unconsciously.

She was not thirsty, nor did she have the consciousness not to give the water she drank to others, so she handed the pottery bowl to the traveler.

"Thank you!" The traveler gratefully took the pottery bowl, and didn't care whether anyone had drunk the water from the bowl, and gulped it up.

He felt thirsty after drinking, so he smiled at Yuan with some embarrassment: "Can I have another bowl?"

He didn't know that the girl in front of him was a god.

Yuan said, "When Mei comes back, let him give it to you."

The traveler thanked again: "Thank you."

The wind picked up, and the mountain wind messed up Yuan's hair on the sideburns.She raised her hands to brush her sideburns behind her ears, and her loose sleeves fell to her elbows with her movements, revealing her forearms with black spots.

The traveler's eyes fell on the black spot, and there was a hint of golden light in the tea-brown pupils. He hesitated and said: "No offense...is this 'karma'?"

"Yeah." Yuan was a little curious when he saw a human being who could recognize karma for the first time, "You know?"

"My eyes are quite special." The traveler said with a shy smile, "I can see that you have a deeply entwined causal line, and the person at the other end of the causal line..."

He seemed to see something invisible, and looked to the side along it.Yuan also looked over, and saw a burly man with four hands walking towards him.

"...It's him." Traveler said, "He is your karma."

Su Nuo, who was coming, just heard the last sentence, and asked with a sneer, "Then tell me, what should I do to get rid of her karma?"

The traveler said: "First of all, we must cut off the cause and effect between you. As long as you are here, her evil karma will never be eliminated."

Hearing this, Su Nuo couldn't restrain his surging killing intent——

..............................

Blood spattered on the side of Yuan's face.

Mei, who came out with food, just happened to see this scene, her hands trembled in fright, and the fruits and cakes she was holding fell to the ground.

Yuan was stunned for a moment, she felt that the blood was extremely hot, as if it was going to burn her, and then she felt a severe pain in the skin on the side of her face, as if several scorching needles were pricking her.

She covered her face and moaned in pain.

Only then did Su Nuo recover from the sudden rage, he removed Yuan's hand covering his face, and saw a smudged black spot on Yuan's right cheek, spreading from the end of the eye to the jaw.

He immediately hugged Yuan Da horizontally: "I have found a way to eliminate karma, and I will take you there now."

Su Nuo learned from a god that the gods of the Tianzhu Kingdom have a way to eliminate karma. It just so happens that a god of the Tianzhu Kingdom recently communicated and taught the Dharma in the local area.

As long as you bring Yuan to the gods of Tianzhu, the problem of karma should be solved.

Yuan buried his head in Su Nuo's arms, pressed his forehead against his chest, gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain on his face.

Mei watched Su Nuo holding Yuan and disappeared from his field of vision in an instant, and then looked at the traveler's body on the ground. He was completely stunned and didn't know what to do.

In the green bamboo forest, a young man meditates on a round platform with a lotus pattern.He had his eyes closed, his black hair draped around his shoulders, and a golden crown on his head.

In front of his round table, there are a few people meditating on futons, or it should be said that they are gods.

A god asked, "Honorable One, what vows have each Bodhisattva made during the many kalpas?"

The young man called Venerable still had his eyes closed, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth: "In the past, there were countless kalpas in the past, and there was a Buddha, called..."

Suddenly a man appeared in front of him.The man has four arms, a tall figure, and holds a girl in his arms.

Su Nuo looked down at the Venerable, put Yuan down, and ordered unceremoniously: "I want you to eliminate the karma on her body."

Even though he was treated so rudely, His Holiness still had a gentle smile on his face, as if he had no temper.

Before he could speak, he heard a dissatisfied god say: "Who are you, you are too rude to the venerable—"

The god's words stopped when Su Nuo pressed his fingernails to his throat. If the Venerable hadn't stopped him, his throat would have been poked with blood.

All the gods fell silent immediately, and they realized that this was a killing god who would strike at the slightest disagreement.

"It's okay to eliminate karma." The Venerable closed his eyes and "looked" at Su Nuo, and said in a calm tone, "If you want to eliminate karma, first eliminate the cause and effect. You and her will never see each other again."

Su Nuo frowned: "Why?"

"Just because you are her karma." The Venerable finally opened his eyes, and the pure tea-brown pupils were filled with golden light.

Su Nuo recognized these eyes, which he had only seen not long ago.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "It's you."

"It's me, and it's not me." The venerable smiled, "You killed one of my incarnations in the world to save sentient beings."

"Stop talking nonsense." Su Nuo said, "Eliminate her karma."

Hearing this, the venerable stretched out a hand to Su Nuo, with the palm facing up, and his gentle voice was like the rain that nourished all things: "As long as you are willing to let go, I can take her back to Tianzhu to practice, and then her karma will naturally slow down." Slowly disappear."

Su Nuo didn't speak, wondering if he was thinking about it.

Seeing this, the venerable smiled in his brown eyes, and said to Yuan in a warm voice, "Come here."

Yuan glanced at Su Nuo.

Su Nuo's blood red eyes were looking at her.

She stretched out her hand tentatively and found that Su Nuo had no intention of stopping her.

Yuan's hand gradually approached the palm of the Venerable.

As long as she gets this hand, she can leave Su Nuo and go to Tianzhu Kingdom to practice, eliminate her karma, and...see for herself what the Tianzhu Kingdom that the black shadow said looks like.

As her hand got closer and closer to the Venerable's, her stagnant eyes gradually ignited the light of hope.

Just when Yuan was about to touch the Venerable's palm, a big hand held her hand.

"You want to leave me?" Su Nuo's hoarse voice sounded, and her hot breath fell on her ears, with a bit of gloom, "I can't even die."

He pulled Yuan's hand back and held her tightly in his arms.

The light of hope in Yuan's eyes was completely extinguished.

She should know, how could Su Nuo let her leave.He just pretended to give her hope, and then stepped this hope into the mud himself.

Su Nuo looked at the Venerable and said, "I will find other ways to eliminate karma."

"...That's all." The Venerable sighed softly, twirled the formula with one hand, and tapped slightly under Yuan's left ear.

A small red mole appeared about three fingers wide below the base of Yuan's left ear.

"This red mole is the cause and effect between you." The Venerable said to Yuan, "You and I have the grace of a bowl of water. If it disappears in the future, you can call my holy name, and I will come to guide you to Tianzhu. "

Su Nuo turned around and left with Yuan Yuan in his arms: "There won't be such a day."

The Venerable said: "My holy name is——"

Before he could say his holy name, Su Nuo's figure had disappeared.

But a name appeared in Yuan's mind, which was the holy name of that venerable.

This time back at the shrine, Minamoto was even less talkative.

She often looks in the mirror, staring at the red mole on the side of her neck below her left ear in a daze, not knowing what she is thinking.Su Nuo really likes her red mole, and sometimes he can't help but lick it. He feels that this is the mark that Yuan can never leave him.

Su Nuo is still looking for a way to eliminate karma. In order not to let Yuan's karma continue to increase, he is trying to restrain his desire to kill.

But there are times when he can't hold back.Whenever he couldn't bear it, he would go out to fight, whether it was a god or a monster, he would beat them half to death and let him go, and beat them half to death after a while.So that near or even further away, gods and monsters would run away when they saw him.

One day, Su Nuo went to fight with a ghost king on a certain mountain.

The ghost king was beaten terribly, and suddenly he thought of a way to present a pair of earrings.

The style of the earrings is simple, but the translucent white beads hanging below are very beautiful, shining brightly under the sunlight, filled with rainbow-like light.

Su Nuo picked up one of the earrings and shook it: "What are you doing?"

Ghost King said: "I heard that you love a god."

"Love?" Su Nuo sneered, "What kind of ridiculous thing is that, I don't know."

"Uh..." The ghost king almost couldn't continue, but he really didn't want to fight with Su Nuo anymore. He wiped the blood from his forehead and continued, "Whether it's a god, a monster or a human, as long as they are women, they will like beautiful things."

Su Nuo raised his eyebrows: "So?"

"If you give this to her, she may be happy." The Ghost King handed him the other earring.

make her happy?

Su Nuo recalled Yuan's recent state.

Ever since his face became karma, Yuan always wrapped himself from head to toe with a huge black cloth, only showing his white and small jaw.Every time he went back, he had to forcefully pull the cloth away.Thinking about it this way, Yuan was indeed a lot more depressed than before.

He asked, "Give this to her, will she laugh at me?"

The ghost king almost choked, he looked Su Nuo up and down in disbelief, he didn't expect the guy in front of him to ask such an innocent question.

"You just want her to smile at you?" Ghost King asked.

Su Nuo said, "Is there any problem?"

"No problem!" Ghost King said immediately, "She will smile at you."

Su Nuo casually stuffed the earrings into his belt, then grabbed the ghost king's head and threw it on the ground: "Come on, continue."

Ghost King: "?"

Why am I still being beaten?

……

After the fight, Su Nuo returned to the shrine.

Seeing him coming back, Mei bowed silently and left.During this period of time, he has gotten used to it, coming to the shrine to guard the gods during the day, and leaving in the evening to return to his village.

Su Nuo pushed open the door of the shrine and found that Yuan was wrapping himself in a black cloth and huddled against the wall to take a nap, and the air was filled with a strong fragrance of blood.

He frowned, and stepped forward to remove the obtrusive black cloth, and saw that the blood was dripping under Yuan's left ear, and the red mole he liked was hidden in the blood, and he couldn't find a trace.

Yuan was startled awake by his movement and opened his eyes.

Su Nuo stared at the bloodstains under her ear from repeated scratching, frowned and asked, "You did it?"

Yuan looked at him calmly, his eyes dull: "Yes."

She didn't seem to be afraid that Su Nuo would get angry, so she dared to admit it directly.

Su Nuo was really angry. He grabbed Yuan by the collar and lifted him up. He suppressed his anger and asked, "So you want it to disappear?"

Yuan didn't answer, just looked at him blankly.

"Heh." Su Nuo laughed back angrily, "It will never disappear, unless you can kill me."

He threw the source back to the ground.

Yuan lay on the ground, quietly.

Su Nuo was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, so he kicked the altar table next to him.He kicked the table to pieces, the offerings on the table hit the ground, and the fruit rolled all over the floor.

The atmosphere was dead silent.

It's been a long time.

Su Nuo took a deep breath, and said in a firm tone, "I brought you something."

He reached up to his belt and groped for a long time but only found one earring, the other might have been lost in a fight or on the way back.

He simply handed the earring to Yuan: "It's for you."

Yuan raised his head and looked at the earring, the translucent white beads below were shaking slightly, flowing with colored light.

She didn't answer.

"Hello." Su Nuo's anger that had just dissipated showed signs of gathering again.

The source is still not connected.

Su Nuo threw the earring on Yuan's body, turned around and left, planning to fight again with the ghost king who lied to him.

"Kill me." Yuan said suddenly.

Su Nuo paused, and suddenly turned to look at Yuan.

"I'm boring and not pretty now, and I'll only annoy you." Yuan said in a flat tone, slowly got up while talking, and looked at him blankly, "Kill me."

Hearing this, Su Nuo was a little stunned.

Yuan stood there with empty eyes, wrapped in a thick dead air, like a withered flower that has lost its vitality.

He finally realized—

He destroyed a god.

The author says:

Do you remember the earrings?

Tianzhu is ancient India, and the Venerable is a Buddhist term.Because I think it looks good to have hair (bu), so I set the Venerable to have long hair.By the way, for popular science (?), when you were young, you saw that the Buddha in "Journey to the West" had hair, but it was not hair but a bun, but one of the 32 faces.

"Since the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has been through many kalpas, what vows have each made?...It is the indescribable kalpa of the innumerable monks in the past, and then there is a Buddha named..." From "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Vows Sutra" The fourth item, the original text is to ask the World Honored One (one of the Buddha's ten virtue titles): "World Honored One! Since the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has been through many kalpas, what vows have you made? Now that the World Honored One has praised him diligently, I only wish the World Honored One to briefly explain it." The author's answer is the answer of the World Honored One, I will use it in this culture, because I don't know what to say about the Fa, I don't want to make it up _(:з」∠)_

According to Zhang Gang, if there is no accident, the previous life will end this weekend, but I am so stuck... woo woo woo!
