Chapter 1480 Enlightened God Envoy(1/2)
"Each encounter is a fate, and facing danger is also a kind of practice for me." I said calmly, "Can I let me replace Aitasha?"
"Master Xuanzang, what stupid words are you saying!" Su Lannuo's face darkened, "How could I do this?"
"Lord Sulanno, this is my own voluntary. I can't watch those flowers-like girls bury in that 'Death Canyon'."
"I, Sulannuo, the thoughts of Master Xuanzang, will never be forgotten in my life. But in fact, even if you sacrifice, it will be in vain."
"Why?"
"Because that 'Enlightened God' is not an ordinary demon. It can distinguish men and women. Once it is discovered that we deceive him, it will cause another bloody storm." Sulano said, "If you really want to do something for Aitasha and the others, then do something for me."
"What's the matter?"
"It is to take the girl who finally became the messenger of the 'Enlightenment God' to the 'Death Canyon' to save her." Sulano begged.
"It turns out to be such a thing!" After hearing this, my heart trembled continuously, and after a while I replied, "I understand, then let me send the messenger for the last journey!"
Night soon fell in the ancient Loulan City, and soon the torch was lit up by the residents in the city.
The square was decorated with lights and gongs and drums. The exotic music also turned this celebratory city-state into a sea of joy.
And now in the square are the men from Loulan City performing war dances.
That was a battle dance formed hundreds of years ago when Loulan Kingdom and the Western Regions countries fought.
Looking at their momentum, they were no less than the Tang Dynasty's army.
Although Ayibu said he wanted to leave early, he stayed to watch the party in the end.
"Mr. Aibu, why didn't you leave?" I asked curiously.
"Xuanzang, didn't you leave?"
"I promised the Lord of Sulanno to be liberated for the messenger of the 'God of Light'."
"So that's it! It seems that Sulannuo is mentally prepared." Aibu also sighed.
Perhaps Aznina's figure appeared in his heart at this moment.
At this moment, a silver bell-like laughter came over.
The men who performed war dances in the square also left the stage and moved the stage away from a group of young and energetic Loulan girls.
These girls are dressed in beautiful exotic costumes, and their graceful figures look particularly charming against the lights.
Their dances are really eye-catching, as if they are fairies in the desert, leaving a deep mark in the memory of every audience.
The most eye-catching one is naturally Sulanno's pearl in his hand, Aitasha.
Aitasha didn't speak loudly, her dancing skills were completely beyond all girls.
And the girls also pushed the entire party to the climax under her leadership.
They kept spinning and swaying, as if they had forgotten the time.
No matter what tomorrow will happen, at least this night they are the most beautiful angels.
At this moment, an old man who was like a sacrifice slowly walked to the edge of the square.
I saw a basket of petals behind him, and it seemed that the ceremony of choosing the messenger of "Enlightenment God" was about to begin.
At this moment, the music stopped abruptly, and at the same time the priest threw the petals in the basket into the sky.
The petals slowly fell onto the square like snowflakes.
The girls who danced were kneeling on the ground at this moment, waiting for the final choice of the petals of fate.
Just as Voltaire said: "In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent."
The most beautiful petals became the verdict of the tragedy.
Just like my premonition, the most petals were sprinkled on Aitasha in the middle of the field.
The beautiful girl accepted the worship of other Loulan girls. Her smile was very bright, and it seemed that she didn't know what she was going to face tomorrow.
Aitasha's smile was extremely bright.
But the originally warm smile is now like a sharp knife slowly grinding in my heart.
Ayibu also looked sad.
"I really didn't expect that Aitaxia would also follow Aznina's old path. Sulanno, why are you so cruel!" Aibu sighed.
I looked at Su Lannuo on the platform from afar. At this moment, he had no expression on his face. But I clearly saw that the old man's body was also trembling.
The next morning, Ayibu left Loulan City with a caravan early. It seemed that even he didn't want to see another tragedy on earth.
Not long after, the team escorting the envoy of the "Enlightenment God" also began to set off.
Aitasha was sitting in a small car pulled by a camel, and the curtain covered the entire car, making it difficult to see her face.
In addition, behind Aitaxia's cart, there were many sacrifices such as cattle and sheep escorted by the Loulan army.
And I sat in the car in the queue and followed the team slowly to the "Death Canyon".
"I want to try my best to stop the tragedy. If I can't stop it, I can't let Aitasha leave alone." I made up my mind secretly.
About an hour later, the entire team came to a canyon with the wind and sand all over the sky.
The canyon is not surrounded by a vast Gobi Desert, but is surrounded by an oasis.
"Is this the legendary 'Death Canyon'?" I was also surprised.
It is clearly full of green, but it is called the "Death Canyon". Such a contrast is really surprising.
The team quickly stopped in front of the entrance of the "Death Canyon", and Aitasha's car was also put down.
But Aitasha didn't get off the bus, as if she was waiting for something.
At the same time, the Loulan army also played the ancient music of Loulan again. The wonderful music seemed to bring time back to the grand event last night.
But facing an unknown future, the music seems pale and powerless.
The leader whipped the camels who were pulling the cart with a whip, so camels pulled the carts full of sacrifices and slowly walked into the "Death Canyon".
These victims have also fulfilled their responsibilities as pioneers of Aitasha.
At this moment, I was also signaled by the leader to slowly walk to Aitasha's car.
"Okay, the messenger of the 'Enlightenment God', you can get off the car!" said the leader respectfully.
The curtain in front of the car door was lifted, revealing the figure of Aitasha who was dressed in a dress.
The optimistic and cheerful girl yesterday was gone, and Aitasha seemed a little scared.
Until I saw me appear, the Loulan girl could barely squeeze out a smile.
"Master, you are here too!" Aitasha said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I will accompany you until the end no matter what." I said very seriously.
"No, monk, this is not the place you should come!" Aitaxia's expression changed, "Go away quickly, go away quickly."
"Emister, please don't make noise in the valley, as this will disturb the 'Enlightened God'!" said the leader nervously.
Aitasha nodded and hurriedly closed her mouth.
"Master Xuanzang, please start!" The leader turned his eyes to me.
So I sat cross-legged, closed my eyes and slowly recited the scriptures.
For a moment, my chanting sound echoed in the entire valley.
Aitasha looked a little sad at the beginning, but calm soon returned to my chanting.
Her eyes were full of determination, as if she had made some decision.
"Okay, it's getting late!" The leader waved his hand, and the soldiers from Loulan City gathered over.
"Monkey, it's time for me to leave! Let's say goodbye!" Aitasha waved at me, then turned around and walked into the canyon without hesitation.
Looking at Aitasha's back slowly moving away, my heart was also twisted.
Until her figure disappeared at the entrance of the valley, I remained silent on the spot, not moving at all.
"Master Xuanzang!" the leader said to me, "We are ready to go back, please get on the bus as soon as possible!"
I shook my head and said, "Can I let me stay here for a while?"
"This...is probably not possible!" The leader replied with some embarrassment, "The Lord of Sulannuo has given him a special explanation and asked us to help you take it back safely. If something goes wrong and the Lord of the City blames it, we will be in a difficult situation!"
"I'm sorry, but I just want to spend a while outside the valley." I explained, "When I was chanting the scriptures, I felt something, and I seemed to have communicated with your "Enlightened God."
"What? Do you have any communication with the 'Enlightened God'?" The leader and other Loulan soldiers also looked at me in surprise, "Are you true?"
I nodded, and my expression was also very serious.
"I am worthy of being a master of Buddhism. If this is true, then we cannot stop God's will!" The leader turned to the army under his command and said, "Okay, let's go back first with me!"
Before leaving, the team leader also cared for me and said, "Master Xuanzang, don't delay here for too long. The climate of the 'Death Canyon' is changing, and your body may not be able to bear it at that time!"
"Please rest assured! I am free and sensible. Thank you for your concern!"
I bowed deeply to these Loulan people.
To be continued...
