The Beast’s Blood Boils

The Temple of Mani in the Cambridge Oasis is a long-standing ancient building.\m First release\

Three thousand years ago, the Mani religion was once a smashing religion in the Aegean. No one knows how this religion developed in the Aegean. There were rumors at that time that the Goddess Mani had descended from the godhead several times and used her body as a messenger. Forms, miracles have been shown in the world, this elusive rumor once made Manichaeism possess a large number of fanatical and radical followers, and even many Beamon gave up shamanism and turned to follow Manichaeism. However, this religion is destined to be a flash in the pan, and the smoke and flames of the land and sea wars have made it calm again from splendor.

In the current Aegean continent, there are still many ancient temple ruins similar to the Mani Temple, which record each of the past glory and current ruin.

Looking at this huge temple covering tens of acres, Liu Zhensha couldn't figure it out. This is a desert! Where did the builders get so many blue stones to build the temple?

"Although it looks a bit dilapidated, the overall structure of this Mani temple is still very strong." The Pierrot knight who led the way saw the divine comedy shaman's eyes always staying at the "Oedi Temple" five. On a stone lintel with common Chinese characters, there is now a tuft of grass and a deserted bird's nest on it, so the knight explained hurriedly.

"Such a big doorpost, it is estimated that it will be resistant to an earthquake." Liu Zhen nodded. There are dozens of huge stone pillars on the outer corridor of the temple, each of which has been carved into a half-naked beauty. The image of the Han, the male root part is half hidden, and the diameter is amazing-this refers to the stone pillar.

"In these wall gaps, even daggers can't be inserted into the ground. The builders of that year took a lot of pains." Pierrot knight smiled and pointed to the steps covered with moss, hundreds of steps, all the stones. The seams are as thin as a thread, indistinguishable from the naked eye.

"Followers from all places stop temporarily!" Liu Zhenshake leaped up the steps and waved his hands vigorously at the noisy group of priests and followers: "Priests and guards, join me into the temple."

The priests rubbed their sore shoulders and breathed a long breath, finally they could rest.

On both sides of the steps of this ancient temple, there are huge statues of monsters. These stone statues are made of jade.The carving technique is extremely exquisite, and the young priests walk through it, always can't help but turn their heads to take a look. They always feel that these monsters seem to be accumulating heat, ready to attack people at any time.Although knowing that this idea is a bit ridiculous, after all, this feeling still lingers in my heart; the elderly priests have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, secretly laughing at the performance of the rookies, holding their heads high and striding forward.

Stepping into the huge temple, Liu Zhenshake only felt his face clamped, and gusts of wind passed by him, and several delicate bodies immediately pressed against him behind him.

The ancient bronze oil lamp on the corridor has been filled with animal fat,The burning "crackling" creaked, and the bats on the top of the shocked Yong "squeak" from time to time. After passing through this long moss-covered corridor and entering the main god exhibition, they appeared head-on in front of Liu Zhensha and the priests. It is a ten-meter high statue of Mani.\m First release\This goddess of Mani has a beautiful face and a lion body, which just happens to combine the two extremes of Yin and masculinity. Not only is it not dazzling, but it is exceptionally harmonious.

This statue of Mani goddess is squatting halfway on the altar, holding the sky in both hands, and in his palms are burning a cluster of high-rising cyan flames. Two translucent cyan flames just form a mutually trusting cross angle. , The dim and weird firelight just illuminates the face of the goddess of holy fire, covering this beautiful and coquettish face with a blue light, exuding an inexplicable coquettish charm, and a burst of aria, Accompanied by the tumbling and transpiration of the blue flame, it echoed quietly in the entire temple, very magical.

At this time, the altar was already occupied by a lot of Beamon soldiers. Except for the god of war, Campas, the iron-blooded soldiers did not seem to have much interest in the other gods, and no one even looked at it directly. The statue of the Goddess of Nepal, a team of uniformed anti-staff staff and officers surrounded each sand table, nervously holding a map and a ruler to make deductions, and the correspondent next to it was recording something with a quill brush.

I felt that there seemed to be a new group of people in the temple. Several Beamon officers raised their heads, glanced at the priests with the arrogance of professional soldiers, and then bowed their heads to do their own affairs. This contemptuous action made the priests There was a cold snort.

"Under the crown, sirs, please wait a moment, I will go to Master Boban and Captain Kahn immediately." Pierrot saw the displeasure of the priests and said quickly.

"Go, there must be enough rooms in this temple. Let us be settled first. The sacrifices are not rude soldiers. We need to rest." Liu shocked and smiled. His words immediately provokes more Bimeng officers. Unruly and provocative look.

"It's weird! The two clusters of blue flames on the idol are definitely not lit by the Beamon officers who entered earlier. Could it be said that this kind of flame will never be extinguished? This Mani Temple should have been built for a long time. Is it right?" The little nun asked in a strange way: "I don't know if you heard it. Every time the flame is rolled up, I can hear an chant, like a sigh, but also like a confession."

"I heard that voice too." Cici nodded

"Sigh? Talk? Why do I hear like a torn shoe groaning..." Liu Zhen shocked the thief with a smile. He just slid a yellow voice, and immediately realized that there are many sacrifices behind him, and his face quickly became clear, "...en... It is the kind of painful groan that a soul is'forced' and detained in a dark cage."

As the person who knows the boss best, the four Ouchi guards and a few militiamen almost didn’t laugh on the spot. Fat Luo and O’Neill laughed loudly on purpose. Helen, the proprietress, each stomped a foot, and many sacrifices were also heard. Out of the mystery, everyone bitterly suffocated their smiles, Gemez was thin-skinned in the end, and couldn't hold back, he chuckles and laughed.

Mo'er stunned the cyan flames on the hands of the Mani goddess statue. For a moment, his face turned red and green. Liu Shock was tossed by the fruit on his shoulder and found Mo'er's strangeness.

"I'm also a little surprised. This temple has been there for at least three thousand years." Golini interrupted and said with a blushing face: "In theory, how can there be a holy fire that can burn for thousands of years? It hasn’t been so long! This temple has been abandoned for at least one or two thousand years, right? No one added burning, how could the Holy Fire keep burning for so long... It’s strange..."

"Nothing so strange!" Mo'er's face was green: "This blue flame burns with a holly smell, and when the flame rolls over, there is a strange sound. It is obviously the fuel extracted from the fat of a mermaid. The oil refined and refined from the mermaid's body is enough to be burned for five hundred years. As long as the oil of twenty mermaids is extracted, it is not a problem that the holy flame will not die for thousands of years."

"Mermaid?" Golini's beautiful eyes immediately widened, and she obviously didn't quite understand what Mo'er meant.

The priests are also a little confused, the mermaid is the king of the Sea Clan.There is no doubt about the power of Haihua. Who can go to the sea to kill a mermaid, and then extract the fat and bring it back to make lamp oil?This kind of difficulty is not too big, right?Twenty mermaids are even more ridiculous. If the sea clan is such a dish, it will not be a sea-land battle, and Bimon would be wiped out of a water clan.

"I'm not talking about the royal family of Xiya, I mean the'freshwater mermaid'. The mermaid of Xiya is an'ocean mermaid', and there is a difference between the two." Mo'er gritted his teeth in a standard Avril tone and said: "In Many years ago, there existed a large number of "freshwater mermaids" in the rivers and lakes of the Aegean continent. These "freshwater mermaids" have a direct blood relationship with the mermaids in the Sea of ​​West Asia, and belong to the noble mermaid family. "

"Master Mo, your tone really scares me." Master Qi Dan rolled his eyes without eyelids and looked surprised. He obviously did not expect a little butterfly beauty who had returned from overseas for less than a year. , How did he learn about such an ancient secret, and Mo'er's tone sounded like a mermaid instead of Mandarin Ferry.

"'Freshwater Mermaid'?" Liu Zhenshake was meditative: "Then'Kou Tao Mermaid' is one of them, right?"

"Go to death, the mermaid Kou Tao can only be regarded as a mackerel at best. It belongs to a mermaid, but not a mermaid." Mo'er Chun Bing smiled like a thawed, and twisted his tutor's nose.

The eyes of the priests all looked straight. Although this overly intimate tone and action were part of Avril’s habitual behavior, in the eyes of the innocent idler, it exacerbated some hearsay. The erosive relationship between men and women and style under the divine comedy shaman Richard Mian, the fame in the kingdom is far more famous than the title of sacrificial offering to the heavenly king.

"Wow...and my apprentice...too fragrant..."

"Two generations of killing... really worthy of a series of sacrifices... own instructor eats it... by the way, it also eats the apprentice Loli..."

"What do you know... I heard that Mianxia... and his two fairy dragon demon favorites... so handsome... the modern version of the Cowherd Fairy Biography..."

Among the two hundred worshippers, gossip-loving seems to be not a minority. In this small number of private discussions, although the voice is small, a word of it reached the ears of several parties.

"Ahem..." Helen saw that the priests around him tilted their eyes, and hurriedly coughed pretendantly to remind Richard and the priests to pay attention to their image.

Mo'er and Liu Zhensha rolled their eyes at the fussing priests around them.

"If you don't understand, you can ask the priest, if you don't understand, you can ask the prophet... Honorable Master Moer, your erudition really makes me feel ashamed. Can you tell me specifically what you mean by the'freshwater mermaid'?" Why doesn’t there be a “freshwater mermaid” in the Aegean continent today?” As Mourinho’s daughter, Golini naturally didn’t like to hear the word “one line” very much. She frowned and quickly found her own feelings. Topic of interest: "As for what you said, using the fat of the'freshwater mermaid' to refine lamp oil that will last for a hundred years, what a cruel thing! Has such a sensational tragedy happened in the Aegean continent!?"

This topic is very new, and it immediately attracted the attention of a lot of Beamon officers who were working. The discussion just now caused the staff and officers around to whisper secretly for a while, and occasionally they even made a few ambiguous noises. laugh.

"Master Golini, the last figure of the freshwater mermaid is probably traced back to three thousand years ago! The reason that led to the extinction of the freshwater mermaid is the fact that the fanatics of Manichaeism discovered that the fat of the mermaid was used as fuel. It is immortal, and it can also lead to wonderful flame singing when it burns. The Manichaeus is also known as the "Holy Fire". These believers believe that as long as they find the sacred fire that never goes out, they will also You can get eternal life under the protection of the Goddess Mani." Mo'er bit her lip vigorously, with suppressed anger on her face.

"Do you mean that the extinction of the'freshwater mermaid' in the Aegean continent was due to the Manichaeism..." Golini had two chills and couldn't say it anymore.

"The Mani Sect was a sect at the time. Various temples dedicated to the Goddess of Mani were built all over the continent. Although the mermaid of Xi Ya can't offend them, they hide in the lake's fresh water. "Mermaids" are provable. In order to inherit the sacred flame that will last for thousands of years, the entire continent has triggered a wave of hunting and killing the "Freshwater Mermaids". "Mo'er sighed:" Since the waters of the Aegean Continent belong to the Kingdom of Bemun, Therefore, the Freshwater Mermaid does not have any powerful fighters to protect itself. Although the talented water spells are superb, the extreme disadvantage of the number of people and the madness of the national movement made the Freshwater Mermaid quickly come to the heart of life.

"But... why don't these'freshwater mermaids' escape into the sea through inland rivers? You know that many rivers in the Aegean continent lead to the sea! As long as they are in the sea, they can not find their own clan and ensure their safety. Is it?" a female priest asked strangely.

"My child, the salt concentration in sea water is very high, while fresh water does not have any salt. Whether it is a marine or aquarium, there is no problem in entering unfamiliar waters for a short time, but after a long time, you will definitely not love it. It’s okay for the mammoths to live bare-assed in the ice and snow, and we don’t have a long time to look for Ya Snow Mountain in Taimur in our leather jackets.” Liu shocked the erudite and learned, the priestess suddenly nodded.
