Chapter 247: Old Things in the Lonely Village

"There wasn't a female corpse at all, it was just an empty coffin, empty inside, nothing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" The old man lowered his head and said with some emotion.

Thinking that his ancestors were also aggrieved enough, he finally made up his mind to do such a conscientious thing, but the result was that the bamboo basket was empty, and he got nothing, just an empty coffin.

"Then you have dug people's graves, and you are not afraid that the mysterious man who lives in the village will trouble you?" asked the fat man.

"Why not be afraid, at that time the people in the village were all worried, after all, that person did not know the origin, although he had lived in the village for so long, he had never left the house, and he had not communicated with anyone, and everyone dug up his grave, so they were naturally afraid of his revenge. But surprisingly, nothing happened in the next few days. The old man spoke.

"That man is too cowardly, isn't it! Your ancestors have dug up the graves that people have erected, and he has no reaction?" The fat man didn't believe it, as long as he was a normal person, it was impossible for him to be inactive in the face of this kind of thing. This is blatant blasphemy against the dead, and it is impossible to swallow it.

The old man sighed and said: "At first, the ancestors were also very happy, but then they felt a little incredible, under normal circumstances, a man could not react at all in the face of this kind of thing, the calmer the man became, the more afraid everyone was, and in the end, everyone decided to go to the man's house to apologize, presumably the man should not be too angry in the face of so many people." ”

"Your ancestors' concept of "the law does not hold the people accountable" is deep enough. The fat man pursed his lips and teased.

The village chief smiled awkwardly, bypassed the topic and continued: "However, when the people in the village rushed to the mysterious man's house, they were surprised to find that the person who had lived here for a long time also suddenly disappeared and was never seen again, no one knows when he left the village, this room is surrounded by walls, everyone has been looking for a long time, and only found a piece of paper in his house, and it is the content of this paper that makes the ancestor determine that this is definitely not an ordinary person, definitely a god." ”

"Oh, what's on the paper?" asked the two men, looking curious.

"The lowly people, the people of the ants, do not respect themselves and do not measure themselves, blaspheme the gods, and the following offenses should be punished and punished!" the old man said with a solemn face, word by word.

"Oh, this guy can pretend!" The fat man didn't care, but laughed out loud.

Seeing the fat man laughing, the old village chief also laughed awkwardly, and then straightened his face again, and said: "Our people here have believed in gods since ancient times, believed in the absolute existence of gods, and did such a bad thing as robbing tombs, so at that time, the ancestors were all frightened when they saw this note, and they didn't know what to do for a while." In the end, it was an old man in the village who proposed to choose an auspicious day half a month later to pray to the gods and make amends to God. ”

"What about later? Did the contents of the note come true?" Shao Yu's expression was solemn, his attitude was different from that of the fat man, and he was very concerned about the development of this matter.

About half a month has passed since I saw the note, and nothing has happened during this time, no one has been punished for it, no one has been punished for it, and everyone has gradually ignored it as the day of prayer to the gods is approaching. When it came time to pray, there was no one to do the arrangement. Pray to the gods," said the old man, waving his hand in frustration and letting out a long sigh.

Shao Yu knew that something big must have happened later, otherwise the village chief would not be so remorseful when he talked about it now. So he asked, "Don't stop, what's going on behind the scenes?"

Later, the day after the original prayer to the gods, countless decrees suddenly fell from the sky, as if it were raining. ”

"The law?"

"Well, it's the second decree of the gods, which represents the will of the gods. The old man is colorful.

"Then what's written on this second decree?" Shao Yu asked with interest.

"Humble fools, do not think about their own mistakes, do not repent, and immediately punish them!" said the old man tremblingly.

"Has the will been fulfilled this time?" interjected the fat man.

The old man nodded, and continued: "At the same time as this decree landed, there were screams in the village from time to time, which resounded in all corners of the village. ”

"Is that the screams of the villagers?"

"Yes," said the old village chief, nodding his head, "all those who participated in the digging of the grave that night died inexplicably, without a single wound on their bodies, and their eyes were wide open, and their expressions were very hideous, as if they had seen the most terrible thing before they died. ”

"Do you think they were given death by God?" asked Shao Yu.

"Yes, that's what happened at the time. Nothing else can be explained except that God gave death. The old village chief replied.

"Is it true that giving death to those people is the meaning of punishment and punishment written in the decree?" asked the fat man again.

The village chief shook his head and said, "The wrath of the gods is far more than that, the death of those people can only correspond to the "immediate punishment" in the law, but the "immediate punishment" has other meanings. “

"So there are other punishments against you?" asked Shao Yu in surprise.

"Yes, the god has immeasurable powers, he took all the water from the stream outside the village and turned it into a heavenly river, and in the blink of an eye, the heavenly river disappeared, and it was expected that the god took it to nowhere. The old village chief opened his mouth, and he could see that he was very angry, but he did not dare to show it, and at this time he tried his best to suppress his anger.

"How did you survive now that you don't have water?" asked the fat man.

"It was really difficult at first, but the ancestors used their wisdom and finally discovered that even in this big mountain, as long as they keep digging underground, they can dig out water at a depth of about 100 meters, although the amount is very small, but the villagers have survived until now by relying on this little groundwater. ”

Shao Yu couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, he has been living in the outside world, he is used to seeing wells taking water, and naturally knows that there is a large amount of fresh water underground, but these people have been isolated from the world, and they have worked hard to find groundwater, and they have survived until now.

"That's not right!" Shao Yu was suddenly startled, thinking of something unusual.

The village chief said that there used to be a stream outside the village, but it was removed by the gods, and now it can only live on the scarce underground water. But before he and the fat man came to the village, they had seen a long stream outside the valley, and they did not know its source, nor did they see its place.

Shao Yu will never be mistaken, he has also fished in that stream, it can't be his fantasy. But if the stream was real, why couldn't the villagers see it?

In retrospect, the villagers could see the endless jungle but not the river, and he and the fat man were the opposite. What is it about seeing a long river but not seeing the so-called big jungle anyway?

"Could it be that all this has something to do with that so-called god-sama?" Shao Yu muttered to himself, vaguely grasping something in his heart.

The fat man happened to come over at this time, and whispered to Shao Yu: "Did you say that the monster outside the village was also the ghost of the so-called gods?"

Shao Yu nodded and said: "Ten are **, but I always feel that everything doesn't seem to be so simple, there may be some conspiracy behind this." ”

After pondering for a moment, Shao Yu turned his head to the village chief and asked, "Let's not mention those things back then, let's go back to that monster, since you have lost so many villagers in the mouth of that monster so far, why did you let those people go into danger last night?"

When the old village chief heard this, he sighed and said in a low voice: "Alas, if you don't stay here, everyone will inevitably die in the end." ”

Hearing this, Shao Yu actually had some familiar feelings, he thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that the village chief had said the same thing to him when he first met him.

"If you stay in the village all the time, you will die sooner or later!"

This is what the village chief has said several times, why is he so sure, could it be that there are still some things in this?
