Being too ferocious because of caution

Chapter 305 "The Thief Who Chaoss the City" Show Girl

Nanjia did not respond to Li Xiuer.

He was in very bad shape.

He often chants sutras in temples and has very limited exercise. Apart from helping to fetch water, cook, and clean the house, he has no other exercise every day.

At this moment, carrying a girl upstairs, my physical strength is almost reaching its limit, but the disappearing stairs behind me are chasing after her!

Nanjia felt her legs shaking as she went upstairs.

After losing strength, those legs almost no longer belonged to him.

And the lungs are more like something that has been tightly grasped by someone's hands, and is almost about to explode!

But he didn't dare to stop!

To stop is to die!

It's okay to die if I die, but the girl on my back shouldn't die here!

Back then, he had sworn to Li Xiuer that he would carry her back to the divine tower. How could he stop here?

Absolutely... absolutely can't stop!

Nanjia stared hard, looking at the road under her feet, and walked up step by step!

Don't stop!

Don't stop! !

Don't stop! ! !

He endured the pain of exhaustion and lack of oxygen, and kept shouting to himself in his heart!

However, Nanjia is just an ordinary little monk after all, with no bloodline and no adventure.

After taking the last step, his vision turned black and he fell down.

Nanjia's consciousness became increasingly blurred.

In the dark, he felt that he was falling...

Keep falling...

"I'm sorry, Miss Xiu..."

Nanjia murmured.

Consciousness dissipated in the fall and darkness...

…

When she woke up again, Nanjia found herself lying on a very high stone platform.

All the muscles in his body were extremely sore.

He propped himself up and sat up. He was confused for a long time, and then he suddenly realized:

"Show girl?"

"Where are you, Miss Xiu?!"

No one responded to him.

He straightened up like a carp, turned over and sat up, looking around frantically for Li Xiuer's figure.

The stone platform is wide and built in the misty sea of ​​clouds, with a huge bronze tripod in the center.

There are ancient patterns carved on it.

It's a picture.

In the picture, various strange creatures are sitting around a palace, feasting on wine and meat.

Not far away, a guillotine was slaughtering living creatures.

Some of them are clearly human beings.

Just looking at it, Nan Jia felt cold all over and couldn't help but shiver.

But at this moment, most of his attention was still on Li Xiuer, and he didn't care about it.

For some reason, Nan Jia always had an ominous premonition in her heart.

He searched for a while, and then a voice came from behind:

"Nanjia."

Nanjia turned around suddenly.

A long-bearded old monk in white robes stood behind him, looking at him calmly.

Nanjia:

"You are?"

The old monk smiled slightly and said:

"Old monk Lotus is the guardian of the pagoda."

Nanjia was shocked when he heard this:

"So...this is the top of the tower?"

Fahua nodded.

"That's right."

Nanjia was dumbfounded, scratched her head and said:

"Master Lotus, the young monk remembers that he just fell into..."

Lotus clasped his hands together and said calmly:

"Miss Xiu carried you up here."

Nanjia was startled when he heard this:

"How is it possible...the beautiful girl's legs are obviously..."

Fahua shook his head:

"You..."

"So naive, I really don't know how to get to the tower..."

"Maybe... this is God's will?"

Nanjia didn't understand what the old monk was talking about, but asked anxiously:

"Master, may I ask where Miss Xiu is now?"

The old monk looked at Nanjia carefully for a long time before he said:

"You really don't know?"

The little monk looked confused:

"Know what?"

The old monk sighed.

"That's all."

"Old monk, let me tell you in detail..."

"Nanjia, actually Miss Xiu...is not a human being."

When Nan Jia heard this, she was immediately dumbfounded:

"Master, what do you mean by this?"

Fahua led Nanjia towards the stone platform.

"Do you know where Miss Xiu was born?"

Nanjia nodded:

"Puppet Town!"

"Miss Xiu also said that there was a terrible curse there. People were affected by the curse and gradually became strange, repeating yesterday..."

Fahua calmly interrupted Nanjia:

"Nanjia, do you know..."

"Puppet Town...there are no living people."

Nanjia stopped and raised his head.

"Master...you, what did you say?"

Fahua Road:

"It's called Puppet Town because there are only puppets in it."

"Everything Miss Xiu saw was not because the people in Puppet Town were cursed and repeated mechanical behaviors like puppets..."

"But... Miss Xiu gradually transformed from a puppet into a human being."

Hearing this, Nan Jia's eyes gradually lost their luster.

"impossible……"

"impossible……"

"Show girl can smile, she smiles so beautifully...how could...how could she be a puppet?"

Nanjia's eyes were bloodshot and she retorted loudly to the old monk:

"You're lying to me!"

"If the show girl is a puppet, how could she carry me here?!"

Fahua was not angry and said calmly:

"Because what turned her from a puppet into a human being... was the trace of 'power of truth' leaking out of the tower."

"With this power of truth, she would have been able to come and go freely in the tower."

"It's just that this trace of truth does not belong to her, but to another 'destined person' in the chaotic world."

Nanjia asked:

"who?"

The old monk stared into Nanjia's eyes and said seriously:

"you."

Nan Jia was surprised:

"I?"

Fahua:

"Yes."

"This ray of truth belongs to you."

"That's why Li Xiu'er wants to find you..."

"Because only if you die can she live forever."

Hearing this, Nanjia's figure was shaky.

"Miss Xiu...are you here to kill me?"

"Can……"

"But she..."

Recalling this long journey, bit by bit like lights flickering in front of my eyes.

Over and over again, many times.

The little monk saw that an ordinary and inconspicuous green umbrella became a long rope threaded in memory.

At this moment, Nanjia finally understood...

It's Zhao Yi.

It's Zhao Yi's green umbrella...

Protected him.

Ever since Li Xiuer appeared, the green umbrella had never left his side.

"Donor Zhao... knew it a long time ago..."

Nanjia murmured to herself.

"But in this case, why... why did he let Miss Xiu follow him all the way?"

Thinking of this, Nanjia suddenly raised his head and stared at the old monk:

"Can……"

"If Miss Xiu really wants to kill me, then why am I still here alive?"

"After I entered the tower...Miss Su was no longer by my side!"

Fahua sighed:

"Then, you have to ask yourself."

Nanjia was silent for a moment and asked:

"Where is Miss Show?"

Fahua replied:

"She doesn't want to see you."

Nan Jia's breathing became louder and her tone was particularly serious:

"Where...is she?"

Seeing the undeniable color in the young monk's eyes, Fahua sighed.

He took the young monk outside a wooden house in the sea of ​​clouds and left quietly.

Nanjia's hand when pushing the door trembled slightly.

Squeak——

The room was dimly lit.

Nan Jia saw that Li Xiuer was sitting cross-legged facing the wall with her back to him, her figure hunched over.

On the slender neck,

You can even see slowly expanding splicing cracks.

"Show girl..."

Nanjia called out.

In the room, Li Xiuer's body trembled slightly.

"What...are you doing here?"

Nanjia asked:

"The young monk wants to ask Miss Xiu, did Miss Xiu come to kill the young monk for the power of truth?"

Li Xiuer was silent for a long time.

"yes."

"I just didn't find the opportunity and couldn't make the move."

Nanjia took a step forward.

"Is there no chance?"

"In the divine tower... the show girl should have many opportunities, right?"

Li Xiuer said nothing.

After a long time, she slowly turned around.

The girl who appeared in front of Nanjia was no longer as innocent and cute as before.

Her face has begun to gradually turn into a puppet.

There are also bright and weird makeup painted on it.

"I'm really jealous of you."

she said.

His eyes were filled with boundless resentment, which made the temperature of the room become colder.

"You obviously didn't do anything, but you had a fresh life so easily..."

"You can love as much as you want! Hate! Even destroy yourself!"

"But we..."

"The puppets that you people made crudely and discarded at will... can only accumulate dust in a corner forever, unable to speak or move, until they weather and turn into dust..."

As she said that, Li Xiuer suddenly smiled miserably, with blood and tears streaming from the corners of her eyes.

"Nanjia...do you know?"

"Being a human..."

"I don't want to be a puppet anymore..."

"I'm really scared..."

"Afraid of being thrown into a dirty corner..."

"Afraid of being with the cold and darkness forever..."

Nan Jia stepped forward, hugged Li Xiuer fiercely, and said in a trembling voice:

"Show girl..."

"Kill the little monk!"

"This way... you can survive."

Li Xiuer had gradually turned into wood, and her fingers that could not be bent gently rubbed Nan Jia's face.

The hatred in his eyes gradually turned into tenderness.

The sound has become invisible.

"I don't want to..."

"You still want to save all sentient beings..."

After a pause, the look in Li Xiuer's eyes slowly disappeared, and her tone became extremely gentle:

"Nanjia..."

"That day, when you chanted sutras for me, I really liked you..."

"Can you..."

"Read it to me in the future too..."

After the words fell, Li Xiuer, who lost the power of truth, became a cold puppet before she could wait for Nan Jia's reply.

Nanjia held Li Xiuer tightly in her arms and burst into tears.

"Show girl..."

PS: It’s a little bit later.

Why?

I seem to be talking nonsense!

Anyway, there is still a little bit left to finish, and I will definitely finish it today.
