Chapter 246 Heart-wrenching pain
Lu Chaochao lay on his third brother's back and looked up into the distance.
Through the crowd and through the tall and dense woods, you can vaguely see the top of the stone statue.
The stone statue was covered with red cloth, and only a bright red could be seen.
Along the way, people were handing out incense, candles, paper money, and fresh flowers.
"I heard that the goddess likes flowers, and she gives away fresh flowers for free every year when she worships Your Majesty. All pilgrims can get one for free~" Lu Yuanxiao said seriously.
Lu Chaochao sucked two sips of milk.
【flower? When did I like flowers? 】
[There are many flowers planted outside my cave. They are money-attracting flowers, used to attract wealth...]
[The founder of swordsmanship is also the founder of poverty...]
[What's more, I have seven burdens, which are almost bankrupting me! 】Lu Chaochao shed bitter tears when she talked about the past.
There were so many pilgrims that the crowd was crowded. Lu Chaochao, lying on his third brother's back, could only see countless heads.
Passing through the woods, Lu Chaochao looked up and saw an 18-meter-high stone statue covered with red cloth, with people kneeling at its feet.
Lu Chaochao looked up and said, "Wow, it's so high..."
"That's not all." The Fourth Prince clasped his hands together with full respect.
The outside world only regards the goddess as a legend, but the Huguo Temple holds three days of rituals for her every year to appease the spirit.
Everything recorded in the library is true.
"Back then, the mountains and rivers collapsed, the rivers dried up, everything withered, and the world was like purgatory. The goddess watered the earth with her blood, reorganized the mountains and rivers with her bones, and gouged out her eyes to become the sun, moon, and stars."
"Her heart, forever in the world, brings infinite vitality."
"The people once personally built a 108-meter-high statue for Him, but when the statue was completed, it collapsed."
"Later, it was changed to 88 meters. It still collapsed..."
"66 meters, 50 meters, still collapsed..." The Fourth Prince was extremely emotional.
"His contribution to saving the world is comparable to that of the Creator Emperor."
"But the Emperor disappeared without a trace after he created the world. People only know the Goddess, not the Emperor."
"Although she was a mortal, she saved the world with her spirit. How could a stone statue bear such merit? The people irrigated her with their blood and kowtowed to God to barely build an 18-meter stone statue for future generations to worship."
"His stone statue looks like a sacrifice after his eyes have been gouged out..."
Everyone looked up at the stone statue.
At this moment, the guards personally pulled off the red cloth.
The dilapidated stone statue that had stood for a thousand years appeared before our eyes.
The stone statue was riddled with holes and countless scars, which was shocking to see.
The goddess closed her eyes, held her hands in the shape of lotus flowers, and raised them above her head, as if holding up countless lives.
But everyone who saw this was shocked, as if she was holding infinite hope in her hands.
"I don't know why, but I feel a little uncomfortable..." Li Siqi touched his cheek and found tears falling down his face without him noticing.
“This is awe engraved in our bones.”
"At that time, mankind was facing extinction, and it was He who brought life and lifted up countless mortals." The Fourth Prince knelt on the ground devoutly and worshiped silently.
Li Siqi didn't say anything, regardless of whether he believed it or not.
But everyone facing the statue of the goddess felt no contempt, only deep awe.
"She is our pride, as she stands shoulder to shoulder with gods in her mortal form."
Lu Chaochao's eyes fell on the statue, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she covered her eyes reflexively.
It was as if piercing into the soul, and the ever-lasting pain swept over me again.
"It hurts!" Lu Chaochao suddenly covered his eyes.
The little guy's voice was trembling, and his tone was filled with unprecedented fear.
The chubby little hands tightly covered her eyes, tears streaming down her face in pain.
"Chao Chao! What's wrong?" Lu Yuanxiao felt panicked.
Before Lu Chaochao could say anything, the prince appeared from nowhere and held her in his arms.
Lu Chaochao was sweating profusely, covering his eyes tightly, his small body curled up and trembling in pain.
"What's wrong with Chaochao?" Lu Yuanxiao was frightened. He had never seen his sister so terrified. She, she only took a look at the statue of the goddess?
[My eyes hurt, my eyes hurt!] Why does the pain of gouging out eyes appear again! 】
She clutched the clothes on her chest tightly again [It hurts so much... My heart hurts so much...]
“Oh, it hurts so much… My heart, Chaochao’s heart hurts so much…” Lu Chaochao leaned on the prince’s shoulder, her little face grimacing in pain.
The prince's fingertips trembled slightly. Chao Chao no longer had a heart, but the phantom pain she felt was still so intense.
Her calm and composed appearance when she offered herself as a sacrifice deceived everyone!
"Chao Chao, Chao Chao, it's all my fault, can we go home? Don't scare me... Don't look or bow, let's go home!" Lu Yuanxiao was already scared to tears.
Lu Yuanxiao felt extremely heartbroken when he heard Chao Chao's inner thoughts. His Chao Chao had suffered too much!
"What happened to Princess Zhaoyang?" Li Siqi and others were all shocked.
The usually calm prince already had tears in his eyes, his voice was choked with sobs, and he kept comforting Chao Chao.
Lu Chaochao said nothing, but his hair was soaked with sweat in an instant.
"You guys go ahead and pay your respects. I'll take Chao Chao to rest for a while." The prince looked at the stone statue and recalled the heart-wrenching pain he had felt back then.
Of course it will hurt.
The phantom pain of sacrifice will follow her like a shadow for the rest of her life.
Lu Yuanxiao's face had already turned pale. He followed the prince with difficulty and squeezed under a century-old tree.
Lu Chaochao was already soaked all over, and she was in so much pain that she was too lazy to move her fingers. Her little face was pale and terrifying.
The little guy looked dazed: "Chong... Yue..."
She looked dazed, as if she saw her disciple Chongyue through the prince.
The prince held her little hand tightly: "I'm here, I'm here..." the prince murmured in a low voice.
But Chao Chao looked dazed and didn't hear anything at all.
"It hurts..." The little guy looked at him with tears in his eyes.
This kind of pain has never stopped for her over the years.
After her rebirth, she almost forgot about the phantom pain.
"My eyes hurt, my heart hurts, my whole body hurts..."
My whole body felt like it was being crushed.
"Chao Chao, it's time for you to take back your thousand-year-old incense. It will relieve your pain." The prince held her in his arms and gently touched her fingertips. A drop of blood with a golden glow immediately flowed out.
"What's that smell? A nice aroma..."
"It smells like grass and trees. It's so comfortable to take a breath. It makes you feel refreshed and comfortable..."
"Wow, what a strong fragrance..." The people kneeling on the ground sniffed and muttered softly.
Every drop of her essence and blood is transformed from merit.
With rich vitality and hope.
The prince flicked his fingertips slightly, and his blood fell directly onto the statue.
Everyone knelt at the foot of the stone statue. The statue was gray and even full of cracks, and it looked like it was about to collapse.
Suddenly...
The ground shook violently, and countless small pieces fell from the stone statue...
It fell to the ground with a thud.
The people straightened up in fear: "What's going on? Is the ground shaking?"
"Oh my God, look at the statue!" Someone looked up at the statue, his voice hoarse and his face full of shock.
"Look, look at the statue!" The people suddenly screamed and looked at the statue together.
"The statue is glowing!!"
“No! No!!”
"The statue..."
"Open your eyes!"
