Chapter 138: The Realm of the Absurd (Part II)
Then Chu Feiyan smiled self-deprecatingly: How could it be her, forget it, you go back and say, let's go back tomorrow morning, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk like this.
Feng An said yes again and again, his bitter face looked a little better, and continued.
Since the advent of the witch god, all pregnant women and fetuses need to be tested by her, and only with the approval of the witch god can they be successfully delivered.
Later facts proved that the fetus that was blessed and approved by the witch god could grow up smoothly and healthily. Unrecognized fetuses are considered demonic fetuses and must be aborted and sent to the Vega Temple for purification.
At first, some pregnant women still secretly gave birth to children, but the children they gave birth to were either physically defective or insane or crazy like monsters, so no one dared to give birth to children without the permission of the witch god.
Feng An sighed, but there were fewer and fewer people who could be recognized by the witch god for decades, which caused the current situation.
People have also consulted the witch gods, and they have learned that the faith of the world is not strong enough, and the calamities accumulated over thousands of years cannot be dissolved overnight.
The witch god once said that in ten years, Changning could be reinvigorated and children could be born freely, but there must not be the slightest loosening of faith before that. People firmly believe in this, but unfortunately the elderly people are hopeless, and the rest of their lives can only live in chaos.
The reason for this invasion of Wangshui is that the witch god said that there is a spiritual vein there, and if it is successfully captured, it will greatly advance the ten-year period.
Feng An glanced at Chu Feiyan: However, this hope was quickly shattered, we were defeated very completely, Gongsun Jiu even regarded human life as a mustard, and gave up when he said to give up, completely ignoring the life and death of the soldiers, the reason why he came back with you was to see the witch god and the king of Changning.
Although judging from Chu Feiyan's feelings, the so-called witch god is likely to be a Jianghu warlock, Feng An will not make something out of nothing, and he does not know their past, so it is difficult to draw conclusions. Chu Feiyan nodded lightly: "Raise your spirits, let's disguise ourselves tomorrow and then blend in."
There was nothing to say all night, and the two went out early in the morning. Chu Feiyan had learned the art of disguise from Xiao Qian before, and at this time he had a wooden middle-aged face.
"The Altar of the Witch God and the Vega Sanctuary are extremely sacred places, heavily guarded, and ordinary people can only reach the periphery at most, and if they want to go deep into it, they must get the approval of the Witch God"
"Although you are very strong, don't easily offend the good of the witch god"
Feng An put on a straw hat and hunched his back, warning Chu Feiyan all the way, for fear that he would cause something. The two of them hadn't gone far before the crowd in front of them suddenly became lively, which was very rare in the lifeless Changning.
As soon as I asked, I knew that today the witch god would appear to purify the demon fetus and something important was announced, and the crowd rushed towards the altar of the witch god at this time. The two of them happened to blend into the crowd and followed.
Chu Feiyan heard Sister-in-law Ji crying loudly from a distance: "You guys let my child go, just once, okay?"
"This is the eighth fetus I am carrying, I have killed seven innocent children, how can they be all demon fetuses, I don't believe it"
"You slander the witch god, and your faith is not strong, it is because of people like you that we are involved!", someone in the crowd shouted accusations.
The crowd coaxed, some people splashed sewage on her, some people scolded her, and after a while, Ji's sister-in-law was covered in filth and became more and more embarrassed. But she was still begging:
"My husband died in battle two days ago, and he never saw his bones, and the child in my womb is the last hope, I beg you to spare him."
"Hmph, who hasn't died in anyone's family, at least you have a strong husband, what is there to complain about, you have been pregnant with a demon fetus 8 times in a row, I think you yourself are also a demon barrier." An old woman said in a cold voice, "Yes, it must be so, don't go near her!
Chu Feiyan saw a trace of reluctance and relief in the old woman's indifferent eyes.
"I didn't expect even my mother to say this, hehehe", Sister-in-law Ji sneered desperately: "You say one by one that my faith is not sincere, and I am not firm enough to stillnate seven children?"
"The baby in my womb grows day by day, I can feel his powerful heartbeat, feel his naughty kicking in my stomach, feel his dependence on me, feel his longing to see me, I know he is a healthy child.
How is it that most of us have become demonic wombs when we drink the same water and eat the same food? I don't believe in curses, I don't believe in so-called witch gods, how have we had a good life since he came?"
Some of the people in the crowd had their eyes dodged, mostly women, who had witnessed the pain of the fetus being buried indelible.
But most people still angrily accused: "Don't be strong, the witch god said that you just need to wait another ten years!"
"Hehe, don't say ten years, even in another five years, we can't afford to wait, Changning is about to die, let's stare at your eyes!"
The angry crusade gradually weakened, because what Sister-in-law Ji said was the truth, in addition to a few slightly older families that have been broken off over the past few decades, people's hearts have become more and more selfish and indifferent, numb life, and by the time of Sister-in-law Ji's generation, few people are willing to have children, and those who are as persistent as Sister-in-law Ji have become extinct.
"Even if it is a demon fetus, I am willing to give birth to him, for this reason I would rather leave Changning, even if I starve to death in the wasteland, I have no regrets, I just ask you to let me and the child live."
"If she is willing to leave, then it is better to leave her to fend for herself, it is better to have one more person who lacks faith", Feng An didn't know why he said this, maybe because he remembered his wife who died of depression back then, and he had pleaded like this.
Maybe in his heart, he thought that the reckless wasteland had become different now, Feng An glanced at Chu Feiyan beside him, who had a wooden face, still calm and relaxed, and felt a little disappointed in his heart.
Someone in the crowd whispered, and the old woman's eyes flashed a glimmer of light, but soon dimmed again.
Sure enough, soon someone shouted loudly: "No, if she does this, it will be treason!"
The little hope that had just ignited in Sister-in-law Ji's eyes was instantly extinguished, her face was like ashes, and she finally gave up praying at this moment, and complained helplessly: "Hehehe, how can there be any gods in this world, how can there be gods who don't save when they see death, how can there be gods who harm people and cut off their children and grandchildren, if there is, it is also an evil god that sucks human blood, hehehe, and then look at the melee of the seven countries, hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded at every turn, and I don't see any gods sending mercy." What a bunch of bastards, hahaha..."
Sister-in-law Ji's poignant laughter inexplicably touched Chu Feiyan's nerves, what she said was wrong?
"There is the shame of the defeated army in the front, and the evil woman slanders the gods in the back, is Changning really irreredeemable!"
"You have been punished for a thousand years and still do not repent, you do not respect the gods, and the disaster of destroying the country is already in sight!", suddenly a tall and illusory white figure appeared above the altar.
The cold and majestic tone made everyone very frightened, and they knelt on the ground to beg for forgiveness, shouting for mercy from the witch god.
