Uncle Johnny's apologetic voice echoed throughout the empty pool. Unfortunately, no two people from the past could give him any response anymore. What was left was just the swaying red flowers and the whistling wind. I don't know. How long did it take to calm down.
During this period, Uncle Johnny kept standing with his back to us, never looking back. It wasn't until everything calmed down that Uncle Johnny turned his head. I found two lines of tears on his face, and he said to us in a hoarse voice. To: "Sorry may no longer have any effect. I have thought so for a long time. After all, things have happened. It was not until just now that I felt that it was useful. At least it was an attitude towards my own life, and I would be much calmer inside." Now, I think nothing is as terrible as the inner torture, which is a silent and invisible prison sentence."
We stood in silence, not knowing what to say in response to Uncle Johnny. He told a lot. We were all fascinated by the beauty and kindness at the beginning of this story, and we were also worried about the changes in the subtle relationship between the three of them, but then what happened What, we don’t know after all, Uncle Johnny hasn’t said it yet in his excitement.
It was already afternoon. On the boulder in the middle of the deep pool, we were no longer exposed to the heat of the sun. On the contrary, in the sky without dark clouds, the weather was inexplicably gloomy.
In such silence, Uncle Johnny looked up at the sky and said to himself: "Time flies so fast. I don't want to delay it until night. It seems that I have to go faster. In fact, what happened just now You should have guessed the details. Yes, it may be just like your guess. Patel and Yaya fell in love... I don't know how Yaya changed her mentality in this and no longer regarded Patel. I think of him as a brother. I don’t know the details of how they fell in love. If I must say it, it is that Patel comes back once a year, which at least brings great comfort to the lonely Jaya. Maybe love happens like this. of."
Are they in love? I had such a guess, but after actually hearing Uncle Johnny say this result, I couldn't help but tremble in my heart.
I know this story is very beautiful, about the most innocent past of three outstanding young people, but this story has always been shrouded in a shadow that can be felt as long as you pay attention, that is, the status gap between them has always been there. It is said that their bloodlines were separated by caste, so that since they left the good times in their hearts, they have never been able to be close to each other.
Uncle Johnny's father seems to be kind, but in fact his stubborn opinions are indestructible and he is even a moral defender. What kind of tragedy would such a love be? I felt like I couldn't bear to listen to it any more.
But Uncle Johnny's narration continued.
After going back that time, it was actually like the calm before the storm, except that the three parties involved had no idea. At the dinner table that night, his father said something that Sharma had never said. "Patel, after so many years, I am very pleased that you have achieved great results in your studies. Although I cannot enter that mysterious circle, my dear friends have brought me countless messages, which illustrate your talents and Work hard, and even the results you achieved shocked many big figures in the circle. Now, your results should bear fruit, are you ready? I have received the news that you are going to become a missionary with the most glorious mission. Divine Guard, so this time you go with Sharma, accept this sacred profession, and get that bright future."
These words came from his father's mouth and were very beautiful. However, Sharma's hands could not help but tremble while he was eating. He could not even swallow the food in his mouth for a while. He did not expect that his father would Sharma, who said such a thing in such a smooth and high-sounding way, and who knew the nature of the divine guards, would certainly not be fooled by such words, and began to feel uneasy.
Patel must also know, right? Sharma couldn't help but glance at Patel. At this time, Patel was holding a dish for Jaya. He always kept a warm smile on his face and his hands were very steady. When his father said When he said these words, he didn't even tremble at all. He just said: "Master, it is just as it should be. When I come back this time, I will wait for Sharma to come back, and then go with him and officially become his divine guard."
Patel's words were calm, even appropriately happy, and his emotions were expressed just right. But for some reason, Sharma always felt that those two words of his were emphasized by Patel and spoke from his own heart. It was hot, but what kind of emotion caused him to feel like this, Sharma didn't want to delve into it.
But at this moment, Thya asked curiously: "What is a divine guard?" which made Sharma's heart tremble again.
"Sacred guard? It is a religious profession with a very high status. I am honored to have such a future. Dear Yaya, do you know? This... is like a knight in the West." It was Patel who answered Yaya Ya's question describes this profession just and calmly.
But Sharma felt even more uncomfortable because it was all answered by Patel. To him, it sounded very... very ironic, but he didn't know what he could do.
"Okay, we don't need to talk more about this topic. I'm just happy that the two children who grew up together, the twin heroes of my Sharma family, can still be together like this throughout their lives, inseparable and relying on each other. I can't Drink, but I don’t mind drinking this cup of fragrant ginger tea for this matter. My dear wife’s skills are getting better and better. Haha..." Finally, it was Sharma’s father who ended the conversation. , a truly triggering conversation.
During this process, Patel acted calmly and his mood was just right, but Sharma ignored one thing. Throughout the process, Patel and his eyes never crossed.
After staying at home for three days, Sharma and Patel were about to go on the road together. Sharma didn't know how to describe the feeling of these three days. Patel seemed to have changed, but it seemed that he hadn't. He would still be with him. He walked closely together, and even occasionally talked lyrically about the past, but the relationship between the two always seemed to be lacking something. Sharma couldn't tell what it was? Only when Thiaya is around, their relationship will be more harmonious.
In addition, Sharma sensitively discovered that Jaya and Patel always seemed to spend some time alone together. Of course, this happened before, but not as frequently as now.
It seems that after not going home for eight years, Yaya has always been far away from her. Compared to Patel, who comes home every year, maybe Yaya already likes this brother more.
Sharma was slightly sad, but he was not jealous. He just told himself that after learning to be free, he must spend more time with his only sister. She once said that she never wanted to be separated from them.
Finally, Sharma also ignored one thing, that is, except for the dinner that night, in the next three days, he never mentioned the matter of the Divine Guard. He instinctively felt that he should say something, but instinctively avoided it. .
Sharma and Patel were on their way.
"It's not as you imagine. Patel was very calm and accepted the ritual of the divine guard calmly without any complaints or any resistance. As for the ceremony, I can't remember the details, but I can't forget that there was During the ceremony, Patel and I were both in pain, because it was a ceremony involving the soul, and that ceremony would make my soul suppress Patel forever. He became someone who could not rebel against me, but could only remain infinitely loyal. Divine Guard." At this point, Uncle Johnny sighed quietly.
"Suppression of the soul by the soul?" I frowned slightly. I can't restore the specific principles of such a technique, but I can deduce it. To put it simply, it is like planting a seed in a person's soul. A 'bomb' was set off, but the switch was placed in another person's soul.
It sounds magical, but in fact it is no different from the essence of the poison. What is the bomb? It is very simple. It can be an extremely powerful but destructive spiritual force dormant in it, or it can be a powerful force. Yes, another will that can completely destroy a person's will. If a person's will is destroyed, the soul will naturally be destroyed because it will no longer have support.
And Patel may have let go of his soul and accepted such a foreign existence, and Sharma's will has the power to control this kind of existence.
Don't doubt whether this kind of thing can be put into a person's soul. Hypnosis is actually the simplest example in reality. It is already the will or spirit of others intervening in one's own. However, the magic is even more magical. It can retain the powerful. The mental power or will can transfer these things to a third party.
But this is very cruel. If you think about the lunatics in the world whose souls are essentially destroyed, you will find this technique cruel... I suddenly understood the kind of escape that Uncle Johnny had at that time, and I could also understand a little bit of Pa. Tire's situation.
"It seems that you have thought of something? Chengyi?" Uncle Johnny looked at me deeply.
I nodded, of course there was no need to hide this.
Uncle Johnny gave a bitter smile and said: "You are the descendant of Shanzi Meridian, so of course you should think of it. I think it's cruel, right?"
I can't deny it.
"Yes, I also think it is cruel. From ancient times to the present, imprisoning the freedom of others is a very extreme punishment, not to mention that this kind of imprisonment is for life. I admit that I cannot resist, because in my heart I still identify with the caste system. existence, Patel also couldn't resist, because he was just a person, and he also wanted a noble life, and he had more ambitions. That was something that happened later. Before these things happened, Something else happened." Uncle Johnny continued to tell.
After the Guardian Ceremony, Patel can stay in the temple where Sharma practices, because he is already a loyal Guardian, and even a Dalit is qualified to stay in the circle of Indian practitioners. , practice in the temple of this highest existence.
Here, Patel exudes dazzling light, and even the magic of communicating with ethnic groups was only discovered from him during this period. This is an amazing soul talent.
But who cares about this fact? No matter how outstanding Patel is, he is still a Dalit. He can only be and is already a guardian of God. As for the glorious son of God, the one who will stand at the highest point in the future can only be Sharma.
Even Patel himself doesn't care. Here, he is just silent and steady. He keeps studying well and lowers everyone's guard. Even the most stubborn elders are willing to praise him. This is a Dalit race. The best person in the world may become a noble Brahmin in the next reincarnation, or he may just become a Dalit in this life to receive more training.
It's a great compliment, Sharma thinks so. It seems that only when he hears these words, Sharma will feel that he and Patel himself are closer.
"It's not because I despise Dalits, but the more others praise Patel, the more I feel that the gap between me and him is disappearing. I thought everything will eventually change and go back to the past, until I saw him and Jaya. "Uncle Johnny's expression began to look painful.
