Chapter 46: Snake God (9) Getting Married
"It actually took two months?"
Tan Yue looked a little puzzled; this time exceeded his expectations.
For ordinary people who are not aware of the situation, if there is a specific time, even if it is difficult, everyone can endure it as long as they have a goal. But if there is no goal, they may collapse before dawn while waiting.
He had to find a way to send a message to the group of people in the program team. Tan Yue looked towards the village at the foot of the mountain. It was thundering and raining outside, with strong winds. The sky was gloomy, and the stone steps carved out by the villagers became very slippery.
Such bad weather is obviously not suitable for walking on the mountain road. Even if he wants to find a way to notify other members of the program team, he will not risk going back at this time.
Seeing that he didn't even look at him after he asked, and his tone was quite dissatisfied, the god asked unhappily, "It's only been two months, and you don't want to spend more time with me?"
If Tan Yue's eyes weren't so special, Guan Shan would have wanted to suddenly turn his head into a big snake head to scare the other person badly.
But He didn't do that in the end. After all, Tan Yue had just acknowledged His lover status and it seemed that He had not yet recovered to the same depth as before.
Before, Tan Yue was extremely obsessed with His body, but unlike just now, when they had already kissed until silk was stretched, Tan Yue still had the perseverance and determination to push him away, and even had the leisure to think about others.
He felt that Tan Yue had changed. He knew that the 18-year-old Tan Yue, knowing that he would not be able to leave if he stayed, still chose Him without hesitation.
"Of course I want to stay with you longer. If possible, I want to stay by your side forever."
Tan Yue took the initiative to approach his lover, first grabbed one of the other's hands and placed it in the palm of his left hand, then grabbed the other's hand with his right hand, crossed his hands and wrapped the other's cold hand in his own palms.
He looked at his lover sincerely and confessed his true feelings to her: "It doesn't matter what the circumstances are when I'm with you. I'm just worried whether the members of the column team at the village chief's house can last two months."
He knew that everyone's psychological endurance was limited: "I promised them that if I left, I would find a way to call the police and rescue everyone. I can't break my promise."
Guan Shan said: "But you can't leave by yourself, so it's not a breach of contract."
Tan Yue said: "Then at least we should pass on the corresponding information to them so that they can hide safely."
Guan Shan said, "You were not like this before. You didn't like to meddle in other people's business before."
The first time, Tan Yue was the one accompanying Him the whole time, and he didn't care about the people who came with Him. The second time at the aquarium, Tan Yue was even more indifferent to the group of tourists who entered at the same time.
Of course, other humans may accidentally enter the aquarium guarded by the little mermaid in the future. Since Tan Yue is not here, he will not care.
But now, when Tan Yue was with Him, he was thinking about other people, which made the god very dissatisfied.
Tan Yue should focus all his attention on himself instead of distracting it to others.
Tan Yue doesn't remember his past, but he can infer what he was thinking at the time: "That may be because my identity has changed, from a student to a worker. Students are independent, and work is different. Work requires coordination and cooperation."
When he was still a student, he signed up for a graduation trip, and he only had to take care of himself and didn't have to worry about anyone else.
But adults cannot be too willful, they always have to be more thoughtful and have more concerns.
Guan Shan's voice was full of resentment: "Humans are so fickle. I really hope you can stay at that time."
The love of teenagers is a blazing flame, but the love of adults seems to be mixed with more calculations, becoming much more rational and no longer pure.
What moves God is pure and ardent love. When love fades, He wishes to go back to the past and make it pure again.
Tan Yue suddenly lowered his head, came close to Guan Shan, and bit his lips lightly: "Kacha, you said something unpleasant, you have a bad mouth, I'll bite you."
"Do you remember everything?" He and Tan Yue looked at each other, and they had the illusion that the other person had not lost his memory, but had actually remembered everything all along.
Otherwise, how could Tan Yue have dared to offend Him just now, not only biting Him but also saying bad things about Him.
"Ashan, I'm a little sad." Tan Yue looked into the other's beautiful eyes, "You remember everything, I remember nothing, and you still miss the past in front of me, which is not fair to me at all."
"Humans change. Every minute and every second, I am getting older and uglier. My youthful beauty is gone, and I am growing from childishness to maturity. But no matter whether I am young, mature, or old, all my love will only be given to one person, and that is you, and only you."
Tan Yue said: "You think I have changed, that's normal. I can't be a child forever. I can have a career and dreams. A person who can only rely on love and nothing else is not a person. That is an empty shell filled with love."
He grabbed Guan Shan's hand, pinched his face, then held the other's hand and touched his ribs.
"A person has flesh and blood, skin and bones. Without bones, he is just a lump of flesh. Without skin, he is just a skeleton. Without flesh and blood, he is just a skeleton. So a complete person must have all of them."
He stared at Guan Shan's appearance, and Tan Yue believed what Guan Shan said more and more, because looking at this face, he couldn't help but feel his heart beating fast.
Flawless cold white skin, deep eye sockets, perfect brow arches, graceful nose bridge, good skin and excellent bone structure.
This kind of beauty is extremely shocking to him. No matter how many times he sees it, he will be shocked every time. In the photo, her black hair and black eyes were very beautiful, but now her white hair and red eyes are another kind of weird beauty.
He said sincerely: "I love you, probably because of my lust for you, but I love you very much, definitely because of the soul shining under your appearance."
Guan Shan looked at the small reflection: "Can your eyes still see my soul? What color is the soul, shining brightly?"
"It's black." Tan Yue said, "It should be Party A's favorite, the colorful black."
Guan Shan looked at Tan Yue in surprise, as if he wanted to see the beating bright red heart in the human chest through his eyes: "Can you really see it?"
Tan Yue closed his eyes: "It's not seen with the eyes, but felt with the heart."
He knows himself very well. He likes sunny weather and a stable life without any disturbances. However, someone who can shock him and make his soul tremble cannot be an ordinary person.
Just like a good girl will fall in love with a rebellious bad boy, but she may not be able to adapt to the bad boy's environment. What she likes is just the missing part of herself.
Tan Yue is a good guy in the literal sense. The requirements for being a good guy these days are not that high. He will not actively harm others and will abide by the rules. He will have a good impression of people who are similar to himself, but only extremely dangerous existences can make his soul tremble.
Tan Yue pressed his cheek against Guan Shan's chest, where his heart was beating very slowly at first, but slowly, the two people's heartbeats became synchronized.
"Ashan, you didn't lie to me, and what you said was all true, but you hid a lot from me, right?" He poked the other's chest with his fingertips, "Your heartbeat told me that you felt a little guilty several times when you were talking to me."
The gods began to suspect whether Tan Yue had awakened some special superpowers, such as mind reading, or the ability to judge truth from falsehood, but He clearly did not lie.
"How did you hear that?"
"I can't hear it, I feel it. This may be the mysterious sixth sense, a mysterious intuition, but my intuition has always been accurate and has never been wrong, so I believe in my intuition."
Many people think he is a rational person based on his appearance and is very calm in doing anything. However, when interacting with most people, Tan Yue is actually an intuitive person who acts on instinct.
If one is rational enough, he will usually act based on interests. But Tan Yue is not like that. He is driven by emotions and then makes judgments based on interests.
He must be born with the ability to judge whether others are good or evil towards him. If someone has bad intentions towards him, Tan Yue will instinctively stay away from them.
His talent in art also stems from this sensitivity. Different people have different colors in his mind.
To Tan Yue, most ordinary people in this world are colorful, changing from red to blue to yellow depending on their mood.
But Guanshan gave him a very stable feeling. It was never pure and flawless white, but extreme black, like a black hole, a mysterious vortex.
He turned around and asked his non-human lover: "I definitely love you, your skin, your bones, and your pure and immortal soul. What about you? Do you only love my beautiful skin?"
Tan Yue pressed on, "When I am old and ugly in the future, and my beauty is gone, but you are still beautiful, will you still love me like this? Will you despise me? I don't want to hear false and beautiful words, I want to hear the truth."
Love is a matter between two people, not one-sided. If you are only obsessed with appearance, then this kind of love will definitely fade with the passage of time. Without appearance, love is gone.
Guan Shan said: "If you were really ugly, I would definitely not like you at first."
After all, their feelings came as fast as a hurricane. They had never experienced getting along with each other before, but they fell in love at first sight and then confessed their love to each other and got together.
This situation is of course based on a pretty enough face. If Tan Yue was not young and handsome but an old man, the picture would be very ugly. Even if the love was real, it would look like harassment rather than a beautiful and romantic confession.
To be precise, their story would not have begun at all. Tan Yue would have been reduced to scum in the first place, ashes that disappeared at the first gust of wind. Confession is the end of a horror story, not the beginning of a love story.
He gazed into the still clear eyes of mankind, and God made a promise: "But even if you grow old and ugly in the future, as long as you don't change your mind, I will still love you."
In fact, slowly, Tan Yue will gradually enjoy His eternal life, and Tan Yue's body will gradually mature and then develop to the best state of his entire body.
Human life is just like a seed. It sprouts and bears fruit, becoming a green peach, and then a plump, juicy peach with the highest sugar content. As time goes by, it matures too much and starts to emit a decaying smell. Finally, it completely rots, falls from the branch, and turns into a pool of mud.
Tan Yue made a love contract with Him, and his body also belonged to Him. He would gradually and slowly transition from youth to maturity, and then continue to become more perfect, and be eternally fixed at the best time. Divine power was an excellent preservative for ordinary humans.
In the past 10, 20 years, or even 100, 200 years, Tan Yue's appearance would never decay, but once his soul decayed, the gods would reap his soul without mercy.
Tan Yue hugged Guan Shan tightly: "Don't worry, loyalty is the minimum requirement for a relationship."
As long as Guan Shan remains unchanged, his love will be like wine sealed in a jar, becoming more mellow as time goes by, and will never deteriorate or dissipate.
After all, he said that he is a stable person and his relationship is also stable.
He had one last question to ask: "As long as I am alive, I will change every day. If I want to remain unchanged, I must die. And my body will rot after death. I have to use the magma from the volcanic eruption to freeze me in amber forever, so that my body can still maintain that scene."
"When I die, I won't be able to speak, and I won't look at you like this anymore. Are you going to make me into a specimen?" The young man looked up, not avoiding the target. Like a white swan ready to be slaughtered, he asked his lover in such a beautiful posture, "Are you going to kill me like this?"
The gods gaze at people with their lively eyes. They are beautiful when they are static, but even more beautiful when they are moving. That kind of lively beauty is the beauty bestowed by the soul within the body.
Even if a human dies, He can make him move, but that kind of movement is driven by a mechanical puppet and has no vitality.
"No." Guan Shan said.
Tan Yue kissed the thin lips again: "Good mouth, good Ashan too."
The man and the god successfully reached an agreement on emotional issues. The heavy rain outside stopped, and the howling wind calmed down and became very gentle.
Tan Yue looked at the lush trees outside being washed by rain. The unlucky big tree that was struck by lightning before was wet by the rain, so even though it caught fire spontaneously, it did not cause a forest fire.
At the original location, a square piece of wood was left behind by the burnt tree bark. It looked a bit magical. Tan Yue felt that if he were to fight against the villagers of Baijia Village, he would be at a disadvantage with his bare hands. This special piece of wood was very suitable for making a weapon.
Before deciding to take the wood, he thought of something, pointed at the dark lightning-struck wood, turned around and asked Guan Shan: "Will that piece of wood cause any harm to you?"
Guan Shan said that the inner world is full of weird things made up of resentment and obsession, and they should be similar to ghosts. Anyway, things like peach wood swords, lightning-struck wood, black dog blood, etc. should still be able to cause certain damage to the residents of the inner world.
The inner world has always existed, and those metaphysical things might just be the effective experience that early humans in the surface world had in dealing with the weirdness of the inner world.
Tan Yue wanted good things, but considering that his dear boyfriend was not a human being, he had to avoid accidentally hurting his lover.
Guan Shan replied: “No.”
The wood was originally chopped by His power, so how could it have any effect on Him?
Tan Yue breathed a sigh of relief: "Are there any tools in the cave, such as wooden knives?"
Guan Shan opened the drawer again and handed Tan Yue a wooden sword. Tan Yue couldn't help but take another look at the drawer. This bedside lamp was short and the handle of the wooden sword was longer than the bedside table. How did it come out of such a short space? Could it be that there was a dimensional space inside like Doraemon's pocket?
Forget it. This world is different from reality. If Guan Shan doesn’t say anything, he will pretend not to see it and won’t care about such details.
Tan Yue walked very fast and steadily on the mountain. The trees on the top of the mountain were less than one thousand meters away from here in a straight line, but the mountain road was steep, so Tan Yue still walked for nearly twenty minutes.
Guan Shan followed as well. The god could have gotten the wood in an instant, but he did not offer such help to his human lover, but followed like a shadow.
Looking at the wood up close, Tan Yue felt that it was a good thing. He reached out and picked up the black wood, feeling how heavy it was.
If we had known that Tan Yue was very strong, he could have easily uprooted a weeping willow tree. Ordinary wood should have been light to him. Holding this square piece of wood, he felt like he was holding a solid gold brick.
I feel like he doesn't need to carve it, it's just square and he can just use the wood as a brick to hit people.
As Tan Yue came over, there were some mountain animals on the road, but he noticed that there were none near the trees.
There was a lot of rain, and after the rain stopped, many insects and snakes came out to move around on Snake Mountain.
But when Tan Yue brought the piece of wood, all the snakes moved away.
Tan Yue said happily: "Ashan, it's really a good thing!"
He thought of the snake wall that had blocked his way out before. If the snakes could move away with this thing, he should be able to get out.
Guanshan disagreed, this was certainly a good thing.
There is still some of His weird power left on it, and it is a great evil.
The power of the strange god has absolute suppression on other weak strange beings, so it can also play the role of repelling other strange beings, because it is so evil that it can become righteous.
He reminded Tan Yue: "You must keep this thing safe and don't give it to others casually."
His lover was fine with this piece of wood, but if it fell into the hands of others, ordinary humans would be instantly transformed into monsters as soon as they touched it. This thing could be considered a high-level pollutant. If human detection instruments were used to detect pollution, it would directly exceed the standard.
After getting his weapon, Tan Yue instantly gained confidence: "I'm going to go down the mountain to find the people from the program team. I won't do anything, just help them find a new place to stay and try to make them survive these two months. Ah Shan, don't worry, I won't bring them to your cave. I will find another place to stay for them. You just stay at home. I'll be back before dark."
Since his lover is not a human, there is no need for him to meet with other members of the program team. It will not benefit either party.
Guan Shan was unwilling to part with him: "I want to go with you."
Tan Yue glanced at him and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. You must be careful. If you encounter any danger, call me."
The appearance of the god was so deceptive that in Tan Yue's heart, his lover was very weak.
Because of the heavy rain, other villagers also hid themselves and had not returned to the village chief's house yet. Tan Yue looked out from a high tree and saw that there was no one guarding the yard. He then found a way to climb over the wall and quietly entered the yard.
He climbed up along the water pipe of the village chief's house and knocked on the door in a very regular manner: "Knock, knock, it's me, Tan Yue. I'm back."
The other people guarding the house heard the noise and hurried over. After hearing this, they asked Tan Yue a few real-life questions, then opened the door nervously with weapons in hand.
Seeing Tan Yue's face, they breathed a sigh of relief: "You're back, what's going on outside? Are the police here?"
"It's a long story..." Tan Yue did not hide it from the group of people and briefly explained the things in the outer and inner worlds. "The group of snakes blocked the entrance to the village and we couldn't get out. Even if we could get out, the outside world is not our real world. We have to wait a month for the passage to open."
"One month!"
Yes, Guan Shan told Tan Yue that the channel is opened once a month, but He wants Tan Yue to accompany him for two months.
"I haven't seen you for so long, I miss you."
When his lover said this, Tan Yue was immediately overwhelmed and agreed without any hesitation.
But there is no need for others to stay here forever. It would be better to send them out a month earlier.
"What a joke, what about the outer and inner worlds?"
Tan Yue doesn't indulge anyone: "You don't have to believe it, just rush out now, I won't stop you."
"Then what should we do? Stay in the village forever? I should have known better than to quarrel with the village chief and his people."
They are all ordinary fragile humans. Without shelter, they will die if they are exposed to the wind and rain outside.
Tan Yue said: "There is a way to let the villagers shelter you temporarily."
The program team urged, "What method? Tell me quickly."
"Promise them that the Snake God will get married and I will be the Snake God's bridegroom."
"Will this method work?" The people in the column team were skeptical. If Tan Yue was willing to do it at the beginning, then why should they go against the people in the village?
"Of course it is useful, but we can't just listen to the villagers. We need to take the initiative in the project, make the ceremony grand, and extend it until the day you can leave."
Tan Yue had discussed this solution with Guan Shan before coming here. Guan Shan expressed his willingness to cooperate enthusiastically: "I can pretend to be the Snake Goddess and marry you. I will marry you when the time comes."
Of course, the Snake Goddess is getting married, not marrying someone, and the groom can also marry into the wife's family.
Tan Yue asked the people in the column group: "If you agree to them today and it's over in one day, you will have no value. Do you think the human snakes in the village will support you for nothing?"
The others remained silent. After thinking about it, it made sense that they could not agree to the people in the village so easily.
"Then how can we take the initiative back?" Tan Yue was willing to play the role of the groom and make sacrifices, which moved everyone, but the prerequisite was that other villagers had to cooperate.
Tan Yue took out the packaged "brick" and shook it at the back of the village chief's head.
He painted a layer of paint on the outside of the lightning-struck wood to disguise it as ordinary bricks.
Tan Yue said calmly, "We should discuss this with the village chief and his family. The wedding ceremony of the Snake Goddess must not be so perfunctory. We need professionals like the program team to plan it and rehearse it. They will listen to us for such a big project."
