Chapter 829 My Name is Chao Chao
Temple of the Saviour.
"Today is your birthday, come and take some tribute."
"You are one year older. So, you are only fifteen this year, right?" Inside the temple, the old lady prayed devoutly while holding incense. On the altar in front of her were the chickens and ducks that her family was reluctant to eat, so they saved them specially for the little goddess.
Tribute?
That consciousness seemed a little confused. She didn't know where she came from or where she was going.
She only knows that her body follows her heart, and she can be everything.
The clouds in the sky, the grass on the ground, the flowing river, the gentle breeze... She can transform into everything in the world, and all of these are of great attraction to her.
She seemed to transform into an invisible consciousness, stood in front of the offering and sniffed gently. It smelled so good.
She tasted it with her consciousness, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
When she finished eating and burped, she felt satisfied for the first time.
She floated and swayed with the wind, and soon arrived at the Dongling Palace. She saw the young emperor and empress, who seemed to be in harmony but were actually not in harmony, and she watched them with great interest.
After a while, they arrived at Xiyue and saw the Saint Lady and the Emperor walking together, their faces full of gossip.
After a while, she arrived at the Kingdom of Sanskrit and saw Sanskrit everywhere and heard the mumbling scriptures in her ears. She became impatient to listen and turned away.
She was awakened by a cry and she wanted to go find the voice.
The voice was depressing and full of sadness, and it made people want to cry when they heard it. She called her daughter back every day, "Come back, daughter."
She leapt over mountains, waded across rivers, and also sat on the clouds, swinging her legs leisurely.
She didn’t know how long she had been wandering in the world, until today, when she was in an ancestral hall...she felt the strongest call in the world.
Their every word made her feel sad and uncomfortable.
The food they offered her made her cry.
She couldn't help but eat up all the dazzling array of offerings. Seeing the other party eating the tasteless food without noticing, she couldn't laugh. She always felt heavy in her heart.
But she belongs to no one, she is the free wind, the unrestrained light, she can go anywhere, but she also faces the loneliness of not being able to get to know anyone.
Every day, she could feel the rich energy of life surrounding her from all directions.
As long as she closed her eyes, she could hear the sound of the wooden fish lingering in her ears.
"How annoying!!" She couldn't help but raise her hands to cover her ears.
But when she raised her hand, the girl suddenly froze.
She suddenly sat up from the grass, raised her hands to cover her eyes from the dazzling light, and there was a hint of surprise in her clear and lively eyes.
She looked down at her jade-white hand and gently reached out to grab at the air.
In my ears are the singing of birds, the sound of the wind, the fragrance of grass, the warmth of light...
Countless memories flooded into her mind. She covered her head in pain, curled up her body, and her round little toes curled up.
From distant ancient memories.
Everything was awakened.
"My...name is Chaochao." She murmured in a low voice, and the red light between her eyebrows was the seal that allowed her to control everything in the world.
"This is my world," she murmured.
But the memories after falling asleep seemed to be covered by a veil that made her unable to see through.
But... there is a trace of resentment hidden deep in my heart.
The girl's brow no longer had the compassion it once had, but instead had a hint of coldness.
She stood up, the faint light shone on her, and against the light, she looked like the most exquisite uncut jade. But she was so powerful and pure that people dared not look directly at her. They could not help but bend down and bow their heads, surrendering at her feet.
She twisted her fingertips and a turquoise long dress appeared on her body.
The long skirt was her favorite style and it fit her surprisingly well, as if it had been made for her. The long skirt is extremely simple, but when she wears it, it adds a sense of elegance.
"Is this... a tribute?" A tribute to me?
She did not hesitate for a moment, with a jade hairpin casually inserted in her hair, looking incredibly beautiful.
There are countless ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests, and countless dangers are hidden. She was strolling leisurely in the forest until a roaring beast blocked her way...
Then……
Slowly lie on the ground and surrender to her.
She didn't even glance at him and walked down the mountain.
The noise made her feel a little uncomfortable, but soon the girl squinted her eyes and chuckled.
"Today is the Goddess Festival. Little girl, come and worship the Goddess..."
"The goddess is about to bestow blessings..." The streets were crowded with people, and children were happily wandering among the crowd.
Singing loudly: "The goddess has returned..."
Lu Chaochao tilted her head. Isn't this the voice that lingers in her ears every day? Calling her back?
"Here they come, there seem to be a lot more this year."
"I heard that people came from all over to pray for peace. There were several seriously ill people squatting in that corner alone."
“They all come here to pray.”
Lu Chaochao was a little curious and couldn't help but pull the little girl beside him and ask, "What is the Goddess Festival?"
The little girl frowned: "You don't know the goddess?"
I wanted to get angry, but when I saw the beautiful face of the other person who was breaking the rules, my face turned red for no reason and I was stuck.
"I... I have lived in the mountains all year round. I just came down the mountain today." Lu Chaochao said softly.
The little girl beside her pinched the corner of her clothes, glanced at her quickly, and said shyly: "The Goddess Festival is to pray for the grace of the savior. Every year, the incarnation of the goddess will be selected and paraded through the streets. If you are lucky, I heard that you can attract the goddess to possess you."
"Of course, we don't know whether it's true or not. After all, I saw the goddess' sacrifice with my own eyes."
"But whether it is true or not, this is a day to commemorate the Savior."
The little girl looked at the people kneeling around her, exhausted and exhausted: "Back then, the God Realm forced me to die, so how could I still have a spirit? But everyone has a glimmer of hope."
"Look, the man is holding a skinny little girl in his arms. The child is only three years old and is seriously ill. The doctor said that her life is counting down and she will die in three months at most."
“When medical skills are powerless, faith becomes the last straw.”
“Unless it is too late to save the situation, who would be willing to place the last hope on God?” Nowadays, the mortal world does not recognize the realm of gods, but only the little goddess.
Lu Chaochao looked at the patient kneeling on the ground thoughtfully.
"Life and death are determined by fate, why force it?"
"If we can't stay in this life, it means we are not destined to be together. In the next life, if we are destined to be together, we will continue."
Her words startled the little girl, and she looked around suddenly.
"Hush, don't say that. Once we part, we'll never meet again. Who can be so rational in the face of life and death?"
Lu Chaochao seemed to be thinking about something. Although she was standing in the crowd, she was isolated from the world.
In the distance, the sounds of gongs and drums could be heard.
Many people were walking in front, dancing a sacrificial dance, with a sedan chair carried in the middle and a young girl standing in the middle, wearing a fluttering white dress.
The crowd shouted enthusiastically, and countless people prostrated themselves before the sedan chair.
"Please, Lord, give us peace."
"My daughter is three and a half years old. I am willing to exchange my life for her safety." The man hugged his daughter, kowtowed heavily, and was unwilling to get up.
Soon, the crowd surrounded the sedan chair.
