Chapter 245, God
These standing statues are more vivid and taller than the kneeling statues.
Most of the kneeling stone statues are the height of normal people, while the shortest stone statues standing are two meters high, and the height has reached more than three meters.
All the stone statues stood and knelt silently on the open ground.
This scene inexplicably reminded me of the picture on the bronze door, outside the ancient temple, there are many believers worshipping at the top.
Could it be that the believers painted on the bronze door are these stone statues in front of them?
I carefully observed the scene in front of me, there were many stone statues, but the movements were very simple, and all the stone statues were facing the same direction, and their facial expressions were very reverent.
In addition to this, I also found that the land where these stone statues bow down is a little different.
All I had stepped on before was a mountain road, which was a very ordinary dirt color.
The land in front of me was a dark brown color, and faintly, I could still smell a strange fishy smell.
I stepped forward slowly, picked up some dirt from the ground, and took a closer look.
The dirt is wet and soft, and if you scratch it with your hands, it will leave a dark red color.
Smelling the fishy smell of the dirt, a strange thought popped up in me.
Couldn't all of this soft, dark brown dirt be stained with blood?
Isn't that strong smell of blood the smell of blood?
And the color, which is the effect of blood mixed with earth.
When I think of this, I can't help but make my eyelids jump.
This dark brown land is so extensive, if the wet and soft ground is all because it has been infected with blood, then I wonder, how much blood does it take to reach this level?
More importantly, is this blood shed by livestock or humans?
Looking at this brown land, I was a little afraid to step forward for a while.
Looking up along this mysterious and strange area, the majestic ancient temple is almost close in front of you.
As I had expected, the ancient temple sits on top of the hill and covers the entire summit.
If you want to climb this mountain, you must enter the ancient temple unless you can fly.
On our trip, it is not surprising that the ancient temple is the end and the final test of the third layer.
According to the hint on the bronze door, our mission is most likely related to the headless statue.
There are only two possibilities for this kind of mission, either friend or foe.
Either we're helping the idol to find the dead head or something, or we're making enemies of the idol.
Either way, the task is not easy.
The statue of the god on the bronze door is obviously not a mortal thing, but a spiritual thing, or rather, it has once shown some kind of 'miracle', otherwise, how could so many believers bow and worship?
And also outside the ancient temple, so many stone statues were cast.
Only a truly devout believer would go to great lengths to toss these things.
And if you want the believers to be religious, then the idol itself needs a certain amount of 'divine power'.
If we are on the other hand, then this 'divine power' is likely to be a disaster for us.
We fought people, we fought ghosts, we fought monsters, but we never fought gods.
This kind of thing, in the past, is unimaginable.
Even though this is not really a god, the fact that there are so many believers shows the power of the statue.
What powers God has, no one knows.
The only thing that is certain is that if God wants you to die, you will not live.
If our mission is to fight against a god with divine powers, then it will be absolutely bad news.
But if it is the other way around, our task is only to believe in God, to help God, to run errands for God, to kill some demons and monsters, maybe it will be a little better.
Of course, this does not mean that the mission will be safe
Are demons and monsters that even gods can't deal with really easy to deal with?
Therefore, whether it is walking with God or being an enemy of God, both choices are full of dangers and challenges.
In uncertain circumstances, I can only take one step at a time and pray that this so-called god is not the kind of evil god named after killing.
After observing the surroundings and confirming that there was nothing abnormal, I did not stay where I was for a long time, but stepped on the dark brown earth infected with a large area of blood, and walked step by step in the direction of the ancient temple.
Because of the soft soil, every step I take leaves a deep footprint in the same place.
With the lessons I had learned, I didn't have the low hand to touch the kneeling statues.
These stone statues can be placed here, naturally with a purpose, in case they disturb their tranquility, maybe some moths will be tossed.
After all, nothing is normal in this mountain.
I walked all the way up, walking slowly, trying not to make any sound.
Now I have become a frightened bird.
Any disturbance will make me instantly vigilant.
Thankfully, all around me was so quiet that I could even hear my own breathing.
As I walked, I suddenly felt a little tired.
The brisk pace, at this moment, began to become heavy.
Not only that, but in my ears, faintly, there seemed to be a buzzing sound, the voice was very empty and dull, and I couldn't hear what was being said at all.
And if there is nothing, it is far away and near, sometimes far away in the sky, sometimes close to the root of the ear, and it feels indescribably weird.
As the buzz sounded, my steps began to grow heavier.
The legs were filled with lead, and every step became extremely difficult.
What's going on?
I thought it was a hallucination and shook my head, trying to sober myself up.
And yet the strange buzz persists, and even grows stronger.
I covered my ears to block out the sound, but it didn't work.
I knew something was wrong, but I couldn't resist it.
The strange sound, like a lullaby heard when I was a child, was quiet and peaceful, giving people a very familiar and comfortable feeling.
Just when I was a little confused, I vaguely saw that not far in front of me, a light suddenly appeared, a warm sunshine.
The sun dispelled the darkness and shone on me, a warm and indescribably comfortable.
Just when I was a little addicted to it, in the sunlight, a vague figure slowly walked out.
The whole body of the figure was bathed in divine light, and every gesture was full of a sense of holiness.
I didn't even dare to look up, for fear that my filthy gaze would tarnish the sacredness that came out of the light in front of me.
That feeling of being ashamed of myself made me involuntarily lower my head.
The figure bathed in divine light floated in the air, did not speak, but simply raised its hand, but with a flick of its fingers, a few bits of holy light floated in, and finally submerged into my body.
At that moment, all the exhaustion in my body dissipated, and the wounds I had received while dealing with the white bones of the humanoid were now healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few breaths, a black scar had formed, and soon, the scar fell off, revealing the red and tender skin underneath.
The bruises and pain on the body before, at this moment, are also rapidly dissipating.
Those few bits of holy light, like a panacea, when inhaled into my body, not only healed the wounds, but also stimulated my inner potential.
Every cell and every meridian in my body seems to be reborn at this moment, and it is indescribably comfortable.
That feeling was a hundred times more comfortable than the legendary applause for love, so much so that I couldn't even control it.
However, this feeling did not last long, and when the wound was completely healed and restored, the light was gone.
And at this moment, in addition to gratitude, my heart is more in awe.
Isn't the ability to heal my body's injuries and unleash the potential of my whole body in just a few seconds?
And the existence that causes miracles is naturally a legendary god!
Looking at the sacred figure floating in the air, I couldn't help but feel the urge to kneel down and worship.
This is God!
When mortals see God, they naturally bow down and pray for blessings sincerely.
Everyone has desires, things they want, things they want to achieve.
In the real world, many things are not so easy to achieve because of the ability of the individual.
At this time, praying to God and worshiping Buddha is the choice of many people.
They pinned their hopes on the gods and Buddhas, and longed to obtain the help of the gods and Buddhas through worship and sacrifice, and with the help of the power of the gods and Buddhas, to achieve goals that they could not achieve.
The most intuitive and common example is the treatment of diseases and the pursuit of wealth.
Generally speaking, gods and Buddhas are just a symbol of spirit, and many people are not sure whether gods and Buddhas really exist, and they just place their beliefs here.
When they get some feedback from time to time, they will become more convinced of the existence of gods and Buddhas.
And once they truly see the God they want to see, then they will become the most faithful believers.
If you are a human being, you will have desires, and if you are a human being, you will not be exempt from vulgarity.
Once a person sees God, even if he is not a believer, even if he is not religious, he will subvert his worldview in an instant and change his original life.
And these changed people are no different from true believers, and they are even crazy and religious.
And now, as an unbeliever, suddenly saw God and received God's gifts.
Under the multiple spiritual impacts, my legs bent, and the whole person knelt directly on the ground, and began to worship the god in front of me.
I was half-kneeling, leaning forward, my head bowed, and I showed my humility and respect in a prostrate posture.
At this moment, I am the same as the stone statues that knelt down before.
The divine light floating in the air was still there, and my mind was blank, except for an almost instinctive impulse.
I was excited, grateful, and worshipped, like a most devout believer, receiving a gift from the god I believed in.
Gradually, my legs were no longer able to move, and it seemed that I couldn't stand up because I had been kneeling for a long time.
The god floating in the air seemed to be very satisfied with my performance, and it began to approach slowly, and the light on its body became more dazzling.
I was laughing, laughing maniacally, and my body was shaking with excitement.
In the depths of my heart, a voice seemed to tell me again, soon, that I was about to become a servant of God, to serve God, and this is a great honor, a great gift.
In this almost frenzied energy, everything seems to be less important.
Bathed in divine light, the god slowly floated towards me, and finally settled half a meter in front of me.
It stretched out its holy hand, as if intending to caress the top of my head for the final rites.
Just as its hand was about to touch the top of my head, my trembling body suddenly stopped, and an imperceptible sneer appeared on the corner of my mouth.
"Fuck you!"
I suddenly got up, took out the soul chain suddenly, and threw it directly over.
Because of the suddenness of the outburst and the unguardedness, the so-called 'god' didn't have time to dodge at all, and was directly wrapped around his neck by the soul chain.
At that moment, the so-called divine light had completely disappeared, and without the backdrop of the light, the essence of the 'god' was also revealed.
The so-called 'god' is nothing more than a humanoid stone statue, but this stone statue is a little different from the one I have seen before.
It is 'alive' and can move on its own.
After being caught in the neck by the soul chain, he was still struggling.
Compared with those stone statues prostrate on the ground, this stone statue has no face, the position of the facial features is blank, and on its chest, there are four big characters engraved - Yue Temple Yin God.
