The appearance of the temple is similar to that of the temple, with snow-white walls, tall towers, and sun and moon emblems engraved on each hall.
But compared to the affinity of the temple, the temple is much more lonely.
There is no continuous flow of people in the temple, it tightly closes the door of pilgrimage, rejects the worship of believers, and allows people to come in a hurry and leave in disappointment.
Inside the hall, there are guards at five steps and one post at ten steps.
The eyes of the holy messengers should be more serious, and the swords of the holy knights should be sharper.
When Liu Yu shuttled through the long corridor full of murals engraved with gods and histories, he was bathed in such cold and weird eyes—they probably heard about her deeds and regarded her as a devil who could drag people into hell at any time , eager to try, but did not dare to act rashly.
"Excuse me, is the selection hall here?"
Liu Yu nonchalantly grabbed a gentle-looking envoy and asked.
"Yes, Miss Fergus, but you, you can't—"
While he was speaking, the beautiful girl had already lifted her skirt and walked into the hall.
All the eyes in the hall fell on her, and on the first seat, the astonishment in the eyes of the newly appointed archbishop in red did not fade for a long time:
"Belia Fergus?"
"Meet the Archbishop."
Liu Yu saluted respectfully.
There were whispers in the hall.
"Nataxi, is that your step-sister, Miss Fergus?"
"... It really lives up to its reputation."
"Oh no, in the same hall with her, I feel like I'm about to suffocate, blasphemer, a blasphemer..."
Liu Yu saw the vigilance, vigilance, and disgust in the eyes of these people at a glance—soiling the gods in their hearts obviously made these boys and girls hate her deeply.
Most of these young girls who have passed the selection are good-looking, and they gather together suddenly, giving people a sense of spring flowers.
"Miss Fergus, you are here!"
Prince Carlo was the first to welcome her.
But other acquaintances from Ellen Temple avoided her eyes—they didn't seem to welcome her very much.
Natasha's eyes dropped as soon as they made contact with hers.
She looked a little disturbed.
"Miss Leonard is here too."
Liu Yu greeted her.
Unexpectedly, this sound seemed to be stepping on Nataxi's tail. She poked her neck and said:
"... During the polygraph test, Bishop Bruce found traces of hallucinations on me... In the end, they agreed that I was only bewitched by the Dark Apostle and I was innocent."
Liu Yu stared at her for a long time:
"Miss Leonard, it's a pity that in the end...you are the same as me."
Even the pure Cinderella has learned to lie.
"What do you mean?! I, I am different from you!"
Liu Yu didn't say anything, just smiled at her:
"Then I can only wish you luck."
Nataxi bit her lower lip. When Belia appeared, her uneasiness was like a lingering cloud, entangled her again.
She remembered that kiss at Nasi Snow Mountain—
When everyone was prostrate on the ground, only she quietly raised her eyes and took a look.
God stood there quietly like this, the wind blew his cloud-like clothes, and the silver dark lines flowed like water, he was so noble, even kissing his toes felt like blasphemy, yet he stood like that , let a woman tiptoe to kiss him.
Her heart is broken.
But I was dazzled by that scene again, and couldn't help myself.
If it's her, what about herself...
At this moment, the bell of the tower rang.
"Boom—"
"Boom—"
"Boom—"
After the three sounds passed, the archbishop in red stood up holding the scepter in his hand, and a white light fell from his scepter, covering everyone inside like a naked hood.
Liu Yu only felt light under his feet, and the bottom of the hall began to rise—
Only then did she realize that all the candidates had stepped on a white rose.
"When the golden light shines on you, it means you have been chosen. But—" the archbishop paused, "I have to remind you that God has not chosen anyone for many years."
"What about her?" Someone pointed at Liu Yu, "She, a blasphemer, why is she here?"
"Everything is arranged by its own destiny."
The archbishop is a bachelor.
Liu Yu looked at the top of his head.
On the top of the main hall, a large mural about God's presence was engraved with luscious oil paints. Young boys and girls crawled at his feet docilely, but gradually, the murals became somewhat blurred.
She felt dizzy, and quickly lowered her eyes to stop herself from looking at—
In my mind, I couldn't help thinking of the records in the book of God:
"God, don't allow prying eyes."
Time passed little by little.
Some of the boys and girls crawling on the flowers began to cry, and there was no sign of the divine light descending—this meant that their dreams were about to be shattered.
In another quarter of an hour, when the bell of the tower rings again, the selection will be completely over.
Liu Yu clenched her palms tightly, she comforted herself:
It's okay, she still has a promise.
At this moment, Nataxi, who was kneeling beside her, stood up half straight, and shouted to the top of the hall: "Great and benevolent God, when you transformed into a young man in the world, you once made me a promise, now , I, I, Natasie Leonard, want to be a saint and stay by your side."
The hall is empty and quiet.
No one expected that this girl who looked like a frightened rabbit would have the courage to say this.
After a long time, a golden light fell from the sky and covered Nataxi's body.
Nataxi covered her face and burst into tears:
"Thank, thank God!"
she said.
Liu Yu's nails were almost digging into his palms. Is this... the so-called luck
No matter how hard it is, fate is like an unstoppable wheel, rumbling forward in the established direction——
No, it's still different.
She is not dead yet.
Mrs. Fergus still had a chance.
Liu Yu calmly thought about the best time to make a promise: according to her original plan, it was until the last moment. If the middle god chose her, then she could save this promise—it is undeniable that people's luck is always All the time, wanting to take some heads.
However, in order to avoid uncontrollable things, she decided to bring it up a little earlier.
Following Nataxi's selection, two more people were selected in succession, a man and a woman, both of whom were unfamiliar faces, and they all cried happily.
After that, there was no movement.
Nataxi was a little happy in her heart, Belia was like a dark cloud covering her head, as long as she was around, no one could see her. Her appearance made her feel uneasy all the time—so, she didn't hope that God would choose her.
And the archbishop in red, who was observing all this, also retracted his gaze. He raised his scepter and was about to speak, when a beam of extremely gorgeous golden light fell, covering the man in light blue clothes precisely and neatly. skirt girl.
That golden light, like a gentle mist, fell into everyone's eyes.
Liu Yu closed his half-open mouth, and his heart that was about to jump out of his throat was also put back into his chest:
He chose her.
She raised her head unconsciously, and in the interlacing of white light and golden light, she was facing a pair of beautiful eyes like Qiuhong. Those eyes were gentle and cold, and the torrent of time rumbled by. In the end, only Under the eternal loneliness.
She froze in place.
Looking again, I saw that on the brilliant and rich mural, the god bathed in golden light was closing his long and narrow eyes, looking down indifferently on everything that happened below.
"God has made his choice," the archbishop declared solemnly, "Natasie Leonard, Ronnie Tammy, Parker Tota, Bellia Fergus."
"...you are able to be by God's side, with loyalty and faith, this is God's gift to you. Well, go, the divine chariot will arrive at the gate of the temple in an hour, believe me, you will see to a wider world."
Liu Yu's heart was surging—
She admitted that when Shenguang chose her, she was both terrified and happy.
The joy is that maybe one day in the future, she can also go to this highest place and see a different world. From then on, she can save Mrs. Fergus, she can freely choose her life, and she will no longer be constrained by anything.
What frightened her was that the existence she had to face was so powerful, so powerful that it only needed to pinch her lightly, and it could crush her to pieces.
…
An hour later, the legendary chariot stopped at the gate of the temple on time.
Its shape is like an inflated pumpkin carriage, the body is covered with golden sunflowers, and the inside of the pumpkin is hollowed out.
On the roof of the car, a fat gray bird was jumping happily around.
As soon as he saw Liu Yu, he raised a wing:
"Scattered!"
[haven't seen you for a long time! ]
Then, its chubby head recklessly burrowed towards Liu Yu, who had just sat down, and made a flattering and obsequious "spot" in the face of the other party who was as calm as the deep sea.
[Baby, do you like the pumpkin carriage I picked for you? ]
[Babe, are you angry? ]
[Scabbets didn't mean to... just saw Leslie, oh no, God, feet and wings... But Scabbers helped a lot too! In the end, it was Ban Ban who persuaded God to choose you! ]
At this time, the young man next to him, Parker Tota, asked curiously:
"Miss Fergus, is this your bird? Why is it on the magic car?"
"It's not my bird."
Liu Yu closed his eyes and refused to talk.
The hair on the top of Banban's head drooped: "... Banner."
It let out a groan.
[Babe doesn't like Scabbers now...]
At this time, the divine chariot suddenly jumped towards the sky and flew up.
