Chapter 312: Noah
Gu Ren guessed in his heart that the church should have been destroyed by the thing that called himself the ghost king, otherwise the sun would not be able to shine here.
The moment he appeared on the ground, he looked around nervously...... The surrounding area was empty, the front half of the church had collapsed, and the back half was the Holy Light Gate that the Ghost King had feared so much last night. The heavy gate was still locked.
The square in front of the church is full of ruins, but there is no blood on the ground. Could it be that last night's bloodstains were all fantasies?
'Wangwang' twice, and the big black also came out of the Ten Thousand Soul Beads, and his eyes swept around the square.
Gu Ren's heart seemed to have a certain number, and his mind was released towards the surroundings, and nothing abnormal was found around.
'Da Hei, can you go back and see how many of my dozen little brothers are still alive?' ‘
When Da Hei heard this, he turned into a streamer of light and ran back in the direction of the Blue anchorage along the road from which he came.
……
This island is worthy of being a ghost island, in broad daylight, the sun is shining, and there is an eerie feeling.
'Child, go and open the door of the Light!' ‘
The priest's voice came from inside the sealing gourd.
These two seal gourds are not the same, one is yin and the other is yang. Yin is used to suppress ghosts, and yang is used for ghosts to live in.
In order to prevent Gu Ren from making mistakes, the priest had already explained to Gu Ren several times.
How can this door of light be opened?' ‘
Gu Ren asked.
'Use the staff I gave you, and that staff is the key to the activation of the Gate of Light. ‘
'What? ‘
Gu Ren's brows furrowed, he felt as if he had been deceived by this priest......
'Children, we yearn for justice, and the light of God will cover the whole earth, leaving evil and gloom nowhere to hide......
'Father, didn't you say you gave me this staff?' How the fuck became the key? ‘
Gu Ren said he was angry......
'Ahem, child, God says there should be light. The world has become a light. You know why? ‘
The priest deliberately avoided the topic.
'Why?' ‘
Gu Ren was a little curious in his heart.
'For God has opened the door of the light with a key and released the light......
'Father, you must be a bachelor, right?' ‘
'Son, how do you know?' ‘
The priest expressed surprise. I didn't expect Gu Ren to even know this.
'Because you are a single man who belongs to God......
Gu Ren finally revealed the essence of this priest.
'Child, you ......'
……
'Father, there's something I want to ask you, how did you get stuck here?' When? ‘
That's a long story...... Two hundred years ago, I was a missionary in Italy. I was going to go to the East to preach on a cargo ship, but the ship ran into a storm and all the people on board were stranded on the island......
'Father, are there any indigenous people on this island?' ‘
Gu Ren sat next to the priest and asked, he felt that this building on the top was not built later.
'Alas......'
The priest sighed.
Gu Ren felt that there must be something strange about this matter.
……
The priest told Gu Ren what had happened, which was basically the story of the farmer and the snake.
That day their ship encountered a storm, and they lost their way into this mysterious sea, and after three days and three nights. They discovered the island, and they landed on it in hunger and cold.
The island's indigenous inhabitants are called Noah, who migrated from medieval Europe to escape the Black Death.
Gu Ren remembered it clearly.
In the mid-14th century, Europe was hit by a devastating plague, known as the Black Death. It spread westward from Central Asia and appeared in the Black Sea region in 1346. It also spread southwestwards to the Mediterranean, then became endemic on the North Pacific coast and spread to the Baltic Sea. Around 1348, the Black Death was prevalent in Spain, and by 1349. It has spread to England and Ireland, to Sweden in 1351, and to the Baltic countries and Russia in 1353. Only remote and sparsely populated areas have been spared. According to today's estimates, at that time in the regions of Europe, the Middle East, North Africa and India. Between one-third and one-half of the population dies as a result. The Black Death was the most mysterious disease in history. From 1348 to 1352, it turned Europe into a death trap, a path of destruction that cost a third of Europe's population, totaling about 25 million people! For the next 300 years, the Black Death continued to visit cities and towns in Europe and Asia, threatening those who survived
Black death. Also known as the plague, there have been several large-scale outbreaks in Europe in the Middle World...... It's terrifying.
Plague is a naturally occurring disease-borne disease caused by Yersinia pestis. Yersinia pestis, for example, can be used as a weapon of bioterror and endanger human peace. Therefore, the prevention and control of plague is even more important. Plague is a disease endemic to wild rodents. As an important source of infection, rats are mainly introduced through the skin of rats and fleas to cause bubonic plague, and pneumonic plague occurs through the respiratory tract.
It is highly contagious and has a high mortality rate, and is one of the most serious infectious diseases that endanger human beings.
The Noahs entertained them in the warmest way, giving them clothes and food to keep them warm from the cold.
However, unfortunate things happened, and these landers unexpectedly found that there was a lot of gold on this island, and it was everywhere in the rivers and mountains.
So they started evil thoughts.
On a stormy night, the priest and the chief of the island entered the hall below the church to pray.
The landers killed all the inhabitants of the island with their muskets, plundered all the gold and destroyed all the buildings on the island.
The only thing left was the church on the Yama Square.
The next morning, before dawn, the landers were about to leave with their plundered wealth, but an accident happened, and suddenly the sky was covered with black clouds, and the wind was cold, and countless evil spirits appeared.
Crimson blood spilled all over the island of Pocello......
These evil spirits are the Noah people, the indigenous people of the island, and the ghost king Osaka is their leader.
……
'Father, how did that Osek become the Ghost King?' How did the corpse poison on this island come from? And how did your staff get buried in the ground of the hall? Why is the key to the underground hall of the Church of the Holy Light on you? ‘
Gu Ren sat on one of the steps, turned his head to look at the priest, and asked a series of questions.
The priest was in the shadow at the corner of the steps, looking like a 'fairy wind bone'.
'Child, the key is Oseke's. The staff is my magic weapon. This Church of Light is not as simple as you think, there is also a Tower of Light behind the Gate of Light, which was sealed and buried by Osyke a long time ago, leaving an iron door. The Church of the Holy Light was built on it. The Tower of Light existed before the Noahs landed on Pocello Island. When Osek showed me the Tower of Light, he told me that the Tower of Light was a powerful barrier of light, and that if the barrier was opened, the entire island of Pocello would be shrouded in light. Intrigued, I took the opportunity to copy the key to the Tower of Light with my staff. When Osek went berserk, I knew that I was finished, that Pocello Island was finished. Before he killed me, I hid my staff in the hall, hoping that one day, someone would restore the light of Pocello Island. ‘
Gu Ren looked at the Holy Light Gate inside the church, and thought of the second door in the hall below the Holy Light Church, and felt a little puzzled in his heart.
'Father, what's inside that door in the hall below the Tower of Light?' ‘
The priest was shocked, and his face showed a bit of solemnity.
'Son, it's a forbidden place, and I've heard Osek say that an ancient demon is suppressed beneath the Tower of Light, and that Osyk's corpse poison was obtained there. After he found that all the clansmen were slaughtered, he went crazy, devoured the corpse poison, **corroded, turned into black blood water, and his soul turned into an evil spirit. ‘
The corners of Gu Ren's mouth twitched, thinking to himself if Su Xia's mother, Mei Ji, didn't have the Golden Light Relic, would she also become an evil spirit?
'Father, when are we going to start work?' ‘
Gu Ren felt uneasy in his heart, feeling that this island was full of dangers, and the sooner he had purified this island, he would have a sense of security earlier.
'Don't worry, he's already in hiding now, and even if we open the Tower of Light, we won't be able to purify him. We'll wait here until dusk and sunset, and when he appears, we'll open the Tower of Light and cleanse the island of all the evil spirits. ‘
The priest was not nervous at all, and he looked very sure.
Suddenly, a big black voice came from his head. The Big Black has returned to the Blue. Daikoku told him that a dozen pirates on the island had been hiding in the cabin and had not left or been killed.
Gu Ren breathed a long sigh of relief, so good.
These dozen pirate brothers, but he prepared coolies. He instructed the Great Black to stay on the Blue and not let them ashore.
In fact, even if Gu Ren didn't ask them, they didn't have the courage to go ashore.
It was now morning, and the purification would begin in the afternoon, so he naturally wouldn't wait until the afternoon in this square stupidly, and take advantage of this time to get to know Pocello Island well.
This island still feels good, and if you can really dispel those evil spirits, this is a good place to take advantage of it.
The priest burrowed into the sealing gourd, and Gu Ren unleashed the Wind Movement Technique to investigate the island.
After four or five hours of investigation, he already had a general understanding of the island.
The island of Pocello is about fifty or sixty square kilometers. Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. Pocello Island has a complex landform, located in the volcanic and seismic zone of the Indian Ocean, with karst landforms and sea erosion landforms, with gentle beaches on the west coast and steep cliffs on the east coast, strange rocks and dense vegetation. The place where Gu Ren landed was the north coast, and the north coast connected to the east coast. (To be continued.) )
