Chapter 25 Set Fire to the Temple
Chapter 25 Set Fire to the Temple
Ke Ke didn't quite understand why the goddess suddenly asked her to take out all the wine in the temple wine cellar.
"Goddess, according to the rules, you are not allowed to drink alcohol."
Shi Qi placed jars of wine in every corner of the temple, and took the time to reply to Ke Ke, "I won't drink it, don't worry."
Ke Ke couldn't rest assured, especially when Shi Qi put five or six small altars of wine under the statue, her heart was about to jump out.
"Goddess, you put the wine jar here, if the candlestick falls, it will easily catch fire."
Shi Qi ignored it.
At the end of the dream, wasn't the temple burned?
The existence of the temple was originally unreasonable. Although it was admired and worshiped by everyone, its existence could only solve the temporary chaos, and then lead to more chaos.
If there was no intervention of the temple 20 years ago, perhaps things would not have become what they are now.
In any war, there will definitely be casualties and destruction. When the temple intervened, the war was already on the verge of ending, and resources and talents were actually consumed.
And she has been thinking, is it really necessary to punish the radicals?
In the eyes of God, there is nothing wrong with protecting one's own believers, but in the eyes of bystanders, this is an absolute injustice.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with the radicals. They just ended up in the current situation because they didn't believe in the temple.
It's also pretty sad.
Shi Qi is not a real goddess, she can calmly analyze the right and wrong of both sides, but even if the points are clear, the situation is irreversible.
Perhaps the only way is to make the temple disappear in this world just like in the dream.
If she had acted ahead of time, perhaps she would not have suffered heavy casualties as warned in her dream.
If the temple intervenes again, there will be absolutely no way out for the radicals, but if only the moderates are left behind, will there be another radical in another ten or twenty years?
Human desires cannot be filled, and it is wrong to simply think that "other races must have different hearts".
Shi Qi just wanted to leave, but the conditions for leaving seemed to be related to the peace of the world, and she didn't mind disposing of the troublesome temple on behalf of the world.
God, you should be high above, don't care about worldly affairs, even if this world will be destroyed, it will be reborn again after the destruction, momentary unbearable, will break the whole balance.
Besides, will the world really end?
Even if it is the end, there will always be people who persist in surviving. As long as there are people alive, the world will not be considered destroyed.
It's just these, God doesn't understand.
Shiqi emptied the wine cellar and connected a "lead wire" around the entire temple. When the time is right, everything will be settled.
Bai Lu was trapped in the inner hall and couldn't move, Ke Ke went to entertain her "well" very obediently, but she blushed because of her teasing.
"I said, that maid of yours is also serving the Goddess, why can't she be so funny?"
Shi Qibai glanced at Bailu, "Ke Ke is very simple, don't tease her."
"Tch, I don't want to tease her yet, but I'm bored."
Shi Qi also placed a few jars of wine in the inner hall, but he didn't even look at Bai Lu, "It won't be boring soon."
Bai Lu nodded approvingly, "That's for sure. But," Bai Lu looked at Shi Qi who was bending over to fiddle with the wine jar, "however I look at it, I think you did it on purpose?"
"Afraid that I will set a trap for you?"
"Oh, I'm afraid that you will be trapped in a cocoon."
……
Shiqi gave the radicals seven days, but the radicals surrounded the temple on the third day.
Ke Ke had never been out of the temple, and had no idea about the destruction of the barrier at the foot of the mountain. When he saw the menacing radicals, he was completely stunned.
Although the radicals surrounded the temple, they didn't dare to act rashly. Ke Ke worriedly ran to the inner hall to call Shi Qi.
Because it was early in the morning and Shi Qi was still sleeping, she changed Bai Lu to a longer rope and tied it to the head of the bed as before, when Ke Ke came in.The two were lying on the bed together and fast asleep, which surprised Ke Ke.
When Shi Qi was woken up by Ke Ke's shake, she looked impatient, "What's wrong?"
Ke Ke may have been stunned, or it may be because Bai Lu also gradually woke up, so silent that she dragged Shi Qi out of the hall, Shi Qi stood in the yard, and when she saw those people outside the door, she became more sober.
The time has come.
"The radicals are too fierce, do they really want to get rid of the temple?" Sometimes Qi was by the side, Ke Ke calmed down a lot, and said indignantly.
Although Shiqi didn't know many people, but these days he always had dreams, and he still had some impressions of those important people.
"The radicals are not the only ones here." Shi Qi saw a few moderate leaders, with a sneer on his lips, "Ke Ke, in fact, the moderates don't like the temple."
The warnings in the dream were almost all hit. The man headed by the moderate faction was named Fang Hui. Unlike Mu Qing, he was an important leader of the moderate faction, and he was also the one who went down the mountain seven times during this invitation.
But looking at it now, the other party's invitation is obviously a Hongmen banquet, Shi Qi is a little glad that Mu Qing brought her to the radical group, otherwise she would definitely waste a lot of time with the moderate group, and would not find Bai Lu.
There is also an enchantment around the temple, people inside can see people outside, but people outside cannot see people inside.Shi Qi put on his clothes and was about to go out, but Ke Ke stubbornly stopped him, "No, Goddess, the other party is obviously not kind to the visitor, and everything must be done with your safety in mind."
Shi Qi patted her on the shoulder, "It's okay, this is our territory, how can we be afraid."
"Take care of Leader Bai, don't let her take the opportunity to break free."
"Yes."
……
After making arrangements for Coco, Shi Qi got dressed and walked out of the hall.
Walking to the door, everyone outside could see Shi Qi, and the radicals immediately said angrily, "Let our leader go."
The moderates backed away, falling right into Shi Qi's eyes.
"Boss Fang, since you're here, let's chat for a while."
Even though he had done a lot of psychological construction before, Fang Hui was still a little nervous when facing the Goddess with full aura, "God, Goddess."
Shi Qi looked at this fat middle-aged man, and suddenly smiled, "Boss Fang is so rich, how did he persuade the radicals to bring you here?"
These words satirized not only Fang Hui and the moderates, but also the faces of the radicals were very uncomfortable.
When Fang Hui came to find them, they were all immersed in the joy of not only wanting the death of the goddess, but also forgetting that the moderates are also their enemies.
Because the radicals have very few resources, the food they distribute every day can only satisfy their hunger. Fang Hui, a moderate leader like Fang Hui, should be one of the people they hate the most.
"Why should the goddess be like this, there is no eternal enemy." Fang Hui's face turned blue and red, and it took him a long time to hold back this sentence.
Shi Qi nodded, "Yes, for the past 20 years, the temple has devoted all its efforts to assist you, but I didn't realize that you two have been at odds for 20 years, and you will reach an alliance one day."
The moderates stopped talking. No matter how eloquently they spoke, it would be wrong for them to face the goddess.
If it wasn't Goddess, the side that lost 20 years ago was the moderates.
Shi Qi was very clear about their intentions, "It seems that after all, tigers are a problem."
It's really sad, if a real goddess knows that the moderates will turn against each other, no matter how indifferent and ruthless, it will be a little sad.
Fang Hui is the leader of the moderate faction. Seeing his subordinates who were silent and full of guilt, his heart sank, "If the Goddess didn't extend her hand so long, how could we be confronting each other now?"
Shi Qi snorted, "Boss Fang, everyone knows what's on your mind, so don't just give excuses. Even if the temple really managed a lot before, it was you who asked for it. Why is it now a fault? ?”
Fang Hui's face became even uglier, he shrank back and stopped talking.
Shi Qi's gaze skipped over the radicals, Mu Qing and the familiar middle-aged man stood at the head of the team, when Mu Qing met Shi Qi's gaze, he smiled and said, "Everyone in my group is very worried about our leader, don't you?" Do you know if we can be allowed to meet Chief Bai?"
Shi Qi looked at his face and didn't speak for a while.
Mu Qing felt that his face was going to freeze with laughter, and the middle-aged man beside him could hardly hold back his anger, so Shi Qi gave a faint "hmm" and brought Mu Qing into the temple.
Before entering the door, Shi Qi glanced at the moderate camp, and said, "Couldn't Chief Fang come in and take a look?"
Of course Fang Hui didn't have the guts to come in, so he randomly assigned a woman named Qingxue to follow Shi Qi into the temple.
Taking the two of them back to the inner hall, Ke Ke was dutifully "watching" Bai Lu. After looking at Mu Qing and Qing Xue, her face was full of anger, Shi Qi comforted her for a while, and let her go back to the room.
Mu Qing checked and found that Bai Lu was not injured at all, and heaved a sigh of relief.
Shi Qi looked at it from the side and wanted to laugh, why, are you still worried that you will hurt Bai Lu?
"Relax? Now tell me why you came here?" Shi Qi sat casually by the bed, looked at Mu Qing and Qing Xue, "For example, what do you want to do to me, what to do to the temple?"
Qingxue was a little timid, she didn't dare to speak when she saw Shiqi.
Hearing this, Bai Lu looked at Shi Qi with great interest, and that strange sense of familiarity intensified.
Mu Qing glanced at Shi Qi with some hesitation.
"Why don't you say it, don't you just want the temple to disappear in the secular world and stop meddling in everything?" The two of them didn't speak, Shi Qi didn't bother to play guessing games with them, and directly punctured the other party's purpose.
Hearing this, that Qingxue lowered her head and dared not speak anymore.
Mu Qing was taken aback for a moment, as if she didn't expect Shi Qi to say it outright.
Bai Lu said "Oh", "The Goddess is really powerful."
Shi Qi lowered his head slightly to look at Bai Lu, "I'm not supernatural, I just know that the yard is not peaceful now."
She knew what the radicals and moderates had sent people in while she was out just now, but she didn't bother to say it.
It won't be long before the wine jars she places everywhere will form a fire dragon, and the entire temple will be surrounded by flames.
Mu Qing and Qing Xue obviously knew about it, and after hearing Shi Qi's words, a bit of embarrassment appeared on their faces.
"This goddess was forced to come to this secular world, and was forced to intervene in your messy affairs. Do you think I am willing?" No matter if it was the real goddess before, or Shi Qi who accidentally became a "goddess", who would take the initiative to embrace such a thing? Mess?
Mu Qing untied the ribbon tied around Bai Lu's hands, and the three of them stood together and confronted Shi Qi, Shi Qi was not afraid at all, "Your plan, set fire?"
Mu Qing didn't speak, Qingxue nodded subconsciously under the oppression of Shi Qi's eyes, causing Shi Qi to chuckle, "It's true."
It seems that her gamble is well arranged, right in the heart.
Fire is a sacred gift from heaven to mankind, but it is a pity that it has been misused endlessly, and now it turns out to use fire to deal with the goddess.
With one hand in her pocket, Bai Lu lifted up a strand of Shi Qi's hair with the other, "What a pity, my lord, I'm afraid you won't survive today."
Shi Qi stared at her with a pair of cold eyes, "I am a goddess."
"It's a pity that the divine power of the goddess is dependent on the idol." Bai Lu had a look of pity. Just now she got a lot of words out of the simple mouth of Ke Ke, and learned a lot of things that even Shi Qi didn't know.
Shi Qi heard the words and took a look at the main hall. The statue is made of copper and is not easy to damage.
"The Goddess has lived in seclusion on the mountain for many years, so I'm afraid she doesn't know the progress of technological development at the bottom of the mountain." Bai Lu gently shook the ribbon, "It's actually very simple to melt a bronze statue."
Shi Qi didn't resist, and let them tie themselves to the pillars in the inner hall, Mu Qing and Qing Xue were called away by the crowd who broke in to help, Bai Lu sat idly on a chair beside her and chatted with Shi Qi.
"Goddess, I'm curious about your current mood."
Shi Qi just lowered his head, not wanting to talk.
The main line of this world has already been completed, and she only needs to wait for the temple to burn, and she will have a chance to get out.
It was just Bai Lu, Shi Qi sighed inaudibly, she wanted to take a risk to see if she could successfully take Bai Lu out.
Shi Jiayi said that the punishment plot has inexplicable feelings for her, and also has absolute tolerance for her.
She wants to take advantage of this bug, no matter what, she must take Bai Lu out.
Bai Lu said a lot but couldn't respond, a little annoyed, she stood up and walked in front of Shi Qi, pinching her chin and forcing her to raise her head, "Why does the goddess make such a gesture, she is actively setting fires everywhere now , but a moderate person."
Shi Qi smiled, "Is Chief Bai laughing at me?"
Bai Lu pursed her lips and said nothing, shouldn't she laugh?But she didn't have that thought.
Suddenly there was a wail in the courtyard, and then the two people in the hall heard more shouts.
"What did you do?" Bai Lu laughed at herself, "It seems that the goddess is not completely unprepared."
"I didn't do anything," Shi Qiqiang endured the pain in his jaw, "I just filled the courtyard with wine jars. Once the fire reaches the edge of the wine jars, they will follow the line of fire I have set up."
Bai Lu let go, and Shi Qi laughed mockingly, "Isn't Chief Bai still leaving? The inner hall will be burned soon."
"Did you do it on purpose?" Bai Lu was suddenly furious, her peach blossom eyes were already red, and she pinched Shi Qi's chin with her right hand, "You want to burn us to death?"
Shi Qi sighed and murmured, "How can you lose your memory?"
Shi Qi's words were very soft, but they still fell into Bai Lu's ears word for word. The latter paused for a moment, then slowly let go, and met hers with red eyes, "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing interesting, Chief Bai, if you don't leave, you really won't be able to get out."
As soon as Shi Qi finished speaking, it seemed that to confirm her statement, the bronze statue in the main hall fell down suddenly, and Shi Qi felt something changed in her body.
It must be that the divine power has been removed.
Two radicals came in, covered their noses and mouths and said, "Leader, let's go, the fire is going to burn here soon."
Shi Qi was also persuading her to leave, her subordinates were also persuading her to leave, her rationality was also telling her that she should leave, but for some reason, looking at Shi Qi's cold face, she felt a little distressed.
"You guys first..." The word Zou was still in his mouth, the fire from the main hall had already reached the inner hall, and the furniture in the inner hall was all made of wood, and was swallowed by the fire almost instantly.
The two subordinates stopped trying to persuade her, and rushed out while pulling Bai Lu.
Bai Lu seemed to have lost strength in her legs, allowing them to drag her out of the inner hall.
She looked back, Shi Qi smiled, but there seemed to be tears in her eyes.
For some reason, she felt that she shouldn't run out, let alone leave the goddess there alone.When I ran to the gate of the main hall.She saw the people running around in the courtyard, and also noticed how fierce the fire was.
It won't be long before this temple that has existed for 20 years, and the goddess inside who has been dictating for 20 years, will be completely destroyed.
Something flashed in her mind, Bai Lu felt a severe headache, got rid of the two subordinates, and knelt at the entrance of the main hall, covering her head.
The two subordinates were taken aback, "Chief, chief?"
Bai Lu suddenly raised her head, stood up, turned around and ran inside. The two subordinates originally wanted to chase her, but the fire suddenly ignited, they had no choice but to run outside.
Shi Qi stared blankly at the roof, the fire had already spread to her side, and she was about to leave.
However, Bai Lu...
Just when Shi Qi felt that he was about to leave here, a person suddenly jumped out of the fire, and then that person hugged him tightly.
"Little Seven!"
Shi Qi was stunned. At the critical moment, Bai Lu remembered?
Tears burst out suddenly, Shi Qi wanted to hug Bai Lu back, but her hands were tied to the pillar and she couldn't move.
Bai Lu looked at her for a while with red eyes, then suddenly lowered her head, and pressed her soft lips against hers, "I'm sorry Xiaoqi, I shouldn't forget."
Shi Qi shook his head lightly, and took the initiative to offer his own lips, the four lips rubbed gently, and the surrounding fire rushed up.
The fire in the temple was still burning, but the two who were kissing were gone.
