835 Books to give life
The green stork thought that the god who borrowed her body was gone, and the reason was simple, because she did not see the god and her body was free, and she had no reason not to think so. However, her speculation only lasted for a day, and immediately evidence appeared that the god named the black ape had not left.
Having been robbed of all their money, the green stork roams the dangerous uninhabited alleys at night. Then she spotted a little fire in the darkness, literally, and trouble arose.
The beautiful young man's fear was not much less than that of the green stork, and although he still stretched out his hand and posed as if he wanted to help the woman who fell in front of him, all his spirit was attracted by the surging blood and the large number of black beetles and gold nuggets.
It wasn't the first time the stork had seen this scene, and there was a pool of blood around him, and the blood was full of beetles, and gold was sprinkled in it. But what she had seen before was obviously not as shocking as it was now, and she was witnessing the small wound in her palm flowing out of a large amount of blood, and countless insects crawled out of the blood, and gold nuggets also floated out and spread all over the ground.
"Oh my God. The beautiful young man finally reacted to something, and knelt down to the stork almost as fast as he could, "You, you are the guardian saint?"
The green stork has never told many lies in his life, and he shakes his head habitually. Impersonating a god was a great sin, the worst of all human evils, at least she had been taught that way since she was a child.
~ "I'm not, you're mistaken. She explained weakly, and the bugs and gold around her glowed black and golden on one side, proving that she was.
The young man Yan zhòng didn't believe it, he leaned down more humblely, his head was pressed very low, and a worm crawled down his hair to his back, circled and climbed down again.
The people at dinner on the other side of the fire saw what was happening here. Seeing the young man who was a partner kneeling on the ground, a group of people grabbing food and laughing, from the good-natured laughter of friends.
A few people walked over to see the situation, and instinctively knelt down when they saw what was in front of them. They didn't want to kneel, but since someone was already taking the lead, it was better to follow.
The stork was panicked by these people. Managed to get up from the disgusting pile of bugs. Trying to help those people, a trickle of water slid off her palms with bugs and nuggets of gold, making a 'crackling' and 'popping' sound. The former is when the insects fall to the ground, and the latter is when they enter the water. Blood.
This kind of misunderstanding embarrassed the green stork, although the young man in front of her snatched her things in the morning and made her embarrassed, but she is not the kind of person who holds grudges. In the face of today's situation, if she wants to get rid of the misunderstanding, she can only tell the truth-
"Miss Stork, your hands are no longer bloody. I mean, no more blood. Although the bleeding has not stopped, the wound has become like that of ordinary people, only oozing blood slightly. ”
The group of people gathered in the firelight was the inhabitants of this slum, and a beautiful young man named Alfalfa was born here. He would be holding the stork's hand, looking at the wound in the light of the fire from the burning planks.
The two of them were sitting on wooden crates at this time, blowing the night breeze in the alley, and the moon was above their heads. It was about to be obscured by a cloud.
The stork explained to the people in the slums that he had met God and had borrowed his body from God. She can't explain it. The two who came after them bowed down to her, and attracted more poor people. They didn't know what was happening, and when they saw the miracle of gold on the ground, they knelt down excitedly, hoping that God would give them some of it.
Explaining the situation clearly, the alfalfa slammed into the ground and broke the door of the head and bled out. Apologize to the stork for stealing her things this morning.
He would run to rob, mainly because he was so hungry, and not only he was hungry, but the whole ghetto was starving. Due to the disappearance of the sea. A large number of refugees poured out of the originally coastal city. The presence of these people has raised the price of food, leaving the already poor people with a very difficult life without food and clothing, and even taking away many jobs that were originally low-paid.
The stork is very easy-going, and she doesn't get angry after people apologize. She had a lot of things to think about instead of worrying about them, like the injuries on her hands. She watched her blood flow out like water in a pipe, fearing that she would die. However, after fifteen minutes of bleeding, she did not feel any discomfort, knowing that there was no more bleeding at the moment, and the palm of her hand became a normal abrasion.
A large group of poor people would look at the piles of gold nuggets piled up like children's piles of sand. Others were busy chasing away the bugs, which didn't seem to be pests, not aggressive at all, and more afraid of people than cockroaches.
The green stork looked at his palm, and his stomach suddenly screamed. It was normal for her to be so embarrassed after not eating for a day.
Alfalfa grabbed a sausage from the wooden crate next to him, poked it with a stick, roasted it on the fire, and handed it to the stork. Just as she was about to grab her and eat it with red eyes, a man dressed in ragged clothes like the poor people around her screamed and stopped her.
"Don't eat, don't eat anyone!"
He pointed to the place where the stork had fallen just now, leaving a large blood stain. There, a few ubiquitous rats died in pools of blood.
"Blood is poisonous. ”
A middle-aged man in a slum street came to this conclusion by grabbing a dead cat, and the dead cat's mouth was stained with blood, which the man had just forced the cat to lick.
The stork will not be hungry at all, and no one in the slum street is ready to continue to celebrate.
Before the arrival of the stork, they were eating and drinking to improve their lives because of the gold they had grabbed during the day, and the alfalfa that sold the gold brought a large pile of food from the butcher's shop and gathered their friends on the street to party this night. They hadn't had a full meal in a long time, so everyone was in rejoicing. As for now, no one has the appetite to continue eating, even though the blood has not touched any food.
The stork was surrounded by Alfalfa and his friends, and they only heard that the girl in front of them had been borrowed by the gods, and that's all, and the green stork actually knew that. People will whisper things about God in their ears.
"What did that god called the Black Ape do with someone else's body, and why did it make the blood of the Blue Stork Girl poisonous?"
"And the bugs and the gold, all conjured out of that blood. ”
"What is going to happen to the gold? Will God take it? And the blood. ”
The stork bowed its head in the middle of the crowd, not knowing what to do with itself. Alfalfa was on the side, one hand reaching into his pocket and clutching his fist, as if grasping something in his pocket.
The sausages that are grilled on the fire will be already black. No one had time to take it out of the fire. The green stork, which had been staring at it from edible to inedible, bit its lip, took out the stick, tore off a wooden thorn from it, and stabbed it the belly of its finger.
This move caused a panic among the people around them, and they didn't know what they were panicking about, probably out of instinct.
The stork wants to find out what's wrong with his body. It's just that she couldn't bear to be ruthless with this poke and couldn't break it.
Alfalfa found out about her attempt and immediately fled far away, and the rest of the slum street residents quickly retreated.
The second poke of the green stork finally broke its finger, a very small opening, which can only appear a little bit of blood under vigorous squeezing, but now it is bleeding down like a coconut with a hole.
Just like just now, the blood that fell to the ground spread out instantly. It's still bugs and nuggets.
Seeing the gold nuggets appear again, the streetmates once again showed their joy, and the same was true for alfalfa.
"I see. The stork carefully avoided the school he had left behind, and slowly stood up, "God borrowed my body and made me like this. ”
This kind of thing is obvious, and Alfalfa thought she knew about it a long time ago. For her slow reflex arc, Sativa is no surprise. Otherwise, he wouldn't have knelt down and kowtowed before.
This time, the blood flow of the green stork dried up relatively quickly, the so-called 'draining'. It means that the strange blood caused by the gods no longer flows down.
The stork felt a little dizzy and didn't know what to do. In addition, she didn't eat much, and she looked very weak from exhaustion. Under the command of Alfalfa, a few people drove the insects away, fetched water to clean up the blood all over the ground, and then picked up the gold and carefully wiped it.
The other side. Alfalfa took the necklace she had snatched in the morning from her pocket and returned it to the stork.
"I apologize to you for what happened in the morning. The necklace has been repaired. ”
The stork habitually said 'thank you', and then remembered that it was right to say 'it's okay' at this time. Her affection for this chain is very ordinary, only if it is an ornament that can be exchanged for money. But now, it seems that there are so many gold nuggets that I can't use this chain to exchange money for life.
Sativa eyes flickered. Staring at the weak girl who could cause miracles, he asked, "Miss Stork, have you not gone out and have nowhere to stay?"
The stork nodded.
"Your current situation is dangerous, I don't know if you know if you know. ”
The stork nodded again, if it had been possible, she would have escaped from this place long ago. If you can conjure gold yourself, you will definitely be remembered by the bad guys. For example, the young man in front of him, he doesn't look like a good person.
Alfalfa sends an invitation to the stork, hoping that she will stay.
"Since you don't have a place to live, you can live with us. ”
The stork frowned, "I think I should go and ask for help from the temple......"
The temple accepts things related to the gods, and the green stork will inevitably be sheltered in this state now, and the treatment will definitely not be bad, and it is natural to be regarded as a guest of honor. The stork had no reason to stay in the slums, she wanted to leave.
Alfalfa listened to her words and nodded, as if deciding something. For no reason, he shouted to the crowd of streetmates, "This young lady said that she wants to take this gold to the temple!"
A very short sentence that made everyone gathered in the alley look at it.
"There is no shortage of gold in the temple, why go to the temple?"
"They are already rich enough, so rich, every priest is richly dressed, why does all the gold fly into their pockets?"
The stork didn't say she was going to take the gold, and after knowing that gold nuggets would float out of her blood, she didn't take it very seriously, and she poked her fingers. And with such a large amount of things, she can barely walk a few hundred meters if she is given a cart. If she had been asked to carry her things to the cart herself, she would probably have fainted from hunger.
Alfalfa's words stirred up the sentiments of the homeless, who did not understand why money never fell into the hands of the poor. They surrounded the stork in the middle, staring fiercely at her and the gold beside her.
The stork wants to seek refuge in the temple, but she can't get out of the alley.
Zhou Shu didn't have a clue about the selection of the main god to deal with, and this kind of trouble would not bring any danger. His martial instincts have now been particularly sharpened, and there has been no warning for the time being.
Because he didn't know how to take the first step, Master Zhou could only choose to find the girls who were given by the gods who were chosen later.
At present, he has met a pair of candidate gods and her companions, namely the Tiger Maiden and the Night. On that second day, Zhou Shu tried to use the power of the hundred shapes to turn into a bird, and then flew around. Find the rest of the post-chosen gods in the city.
It turned out that he was a little too romantic. The power of a hundred forms can help humans change their bodies, which is not a trick or illusion, but a real change in the body.
Zhou Shu just wanted to try, and as soon as he put the image of the bird in his mind, a sharp and unbearable pain immediately appeared in his body. And the pain was triggered by nothing more than a bird fluff that had grown out of his skin. Not feathers, just fluff.
Previously, he changed the contour of his face slightly, making the bird's nest deep and his nose high. Reduced their own Oriental characteristics. Such a small change had already made him extremely sad, and now it seemed very torturous to turn his weight of one hundred and eighty pounds into a light bird.
Zhou Shu thought that there was something wrong with the power of the hundred shapes, so he tried to continue to change his appearance and changed back to his original face. This is very smooth, although the face feels a strong sense of oppression, and the heart is also panicked, but fortunately, it is not very painful.
He was glad that he was able to get back to his old self. I am also glad that the power of the hundred shapes still exists, which is still very important to him. As for turning into a bird. He wasn't ready to think about it anymore. In case the brain really becomes as small as a bird, Zhou Shu feels that his life will be over, and the chance of not being able to change it back is still quite high.
After tossing and turning one morning, after he was sure that he had no talent for being a birdman, Ouna got up and got up from her room.
Because there is a god in Zhou Shu's body. The director gave up the idea of continuing to do odd jobs to make money, and she did not intend to blaspheme. However, the wall of the room between the two was opened, and although they did not sleep in the same bed, the distance was still quite close.
"Zhou Shu, why did you get up so early. Ou Na was woken up by the sound of Zhou Shu moving around the room. There was naturally dissatisfaction in his tone.
"I'm going out first, to investigate the Patronus. ”
"Oh. Ou Na is not interested in this kind of thing, he has confidence in Zhou Shu, after all, he knows some of this guy's excellence, and knows that he has strange powers.
Zhou Shu was also very relieved to leave Ou Na and Que Xi here, after all, they had their own beetles to protect them. Now, he felt that he should tell this girl about the beetle, and by the way, he also explained the stone man who suddenly appeared before, saving her from thinking nonsense.
Ou Na was called to Zhou Shu and listened to a lot of nagging. Halfway through it, she let out a sharp shout, which was very poignant, and woke up Quexi, who liked to sleep lazily.
"The beetle I picked up, you threw it to me?!, but I gave it away!!
Zhou Shu waved his hand, indicating that it didn't matter, and took out another one and gave it to her.
"I have a lot of things, if you lose them, you can lose them, just one. ”
That being said, Ou Na was a little unrelieved. She had seen how the cavalry who had been chasing her because of Tryska had fallen from their horses, and she couldn't allow herself to lose something so powerful.
"No, I'm going to the girls' home to get that beetle back!"
Zhou Shu comforted her for a while, tossed for more than an hour, and the frightened Quexi fell asleep, which made her stop.
"Alright, please stop worrying about those little things. I'll give you another one, and you can take them both and play with them. Remember, don't get into trouble when I go out!"
After telling these mother's lines, Master Zhou found an opportunity to pick out the window and fly into the sky with flames. He used his beetle in the sky to look for the one that had been given away by Ou Na, and it showed that it was on the outskirts of the city.
He wanted to go and come back, but he just ran to the outskirts of the city and beckoned to the girl who got the beetle, and the beetle would come back on its own. However, he had just heard Ou Na talk about several graduates of the girls' college, and it seemed that everyone had a small gift from Ou Na. Zhou Shu felt that this kind of thing could be regarded as a kind of fate, and it might be a good choice to go with her-
Woods on the outskirts of the city. Miss Sparrow, possessed by the red stripe of the white snake, is roasting around a bonfire.
She had just been woken up by the early morning humidity of the woods, and it had taken her a full hour to light a bonfire. Next door to her, there was a small wooden house, which was supposed to be a forest ranger's hut, for people who went up to the mountains to hunt, but it had been abandoned for a long time.
The sparrow is now the only occupant here. I spent last night here. Originally thin, she already had the physical ability to live alone in the woods at this time, and her health was abnormal. Yesterday she ran to this woods, and as she usually did, such a long distance would at least give her some blisters on the soles of her feet, but after she finished running, she felt as if she had taken a hot bath.
The sparrow stared at the fire and was waiting for his breakfast. She had been waiting for more than ten minutes, and although it took more time to make the fire last night, it didn't take so long to harvest the breakfast ingredients.
She was getting a little impatient. Suddenly, a dead rabbit was thrown out of a nearby bush. Then out of the bushes swam a snake, or what might be called a snake.
When the sparrow saw that there was prey, he was relieved that he would not starve in the morning. She touched the 'stone snake' beside her, a 'snake' whose body was made of stones of different sizes, and it looked like a child using stones to make fun of the ground.
In fact, this is the stone life that the sparrow makes out of stones.
The power of the red stripe is to give life, and it is with this trick that he revives the sparrow, which is almost dead. Before falling asleep, Redvein told Sparrow about his attitude towards the selection of the main god. Redstreak does not intend to fight with his companions. However, he is not going to be killed by his companions. He hoped that he would be able to save his life and live in peace.
The sparrow knows how it came to be about its life. She made a pact with Redvein to help her survive, and now that Redvein is asleep, Sparrow decides to accumulate strength to protect him and herself.
Yesterday, she spent an afternoon testing out the special abilities she had acquired. It was a gift from God, and she wanted to use this power to increase her chances of survival.
Her way of studying this power is simple, by touching and injecting life into inanimate objects. In her opinion, it is a feeling that is hard to put into words. She could feel the stones and other things change from 'objects' to 'creatures' just by touching them with her hands. It's just that these creatures have some subtleties, such as the single stone that she has injected into life, although it becomes a life, it is completely immobile, and its appearance is no different from ordinary stones.
The sparrow knew that its stone had become an animal, but why it didn't move, it was a little puzzled. Then she gave life to a leaf. Soon, a bulge arched out of the middle of the leaves, like a head, and then arched itself to curl up, and the ends of the leaves stepped on the ground, as if they had learned to walk upright.
The leaf can really walk, although it is often blown around by the wind, but it does move, but it is not particularly athletic.
After several hours of study, the sparrow determined that even if it had life, it would not be able to move without bones or hands or feet. But the leaf can, because it has muscles, and the veins on the leaf seem to change into muscles when it gets life, so it can bend and use it to move like a fish.
The sparrow dismembered the leaf, and she found that the small bulging ball on the leaf seemed to be the brain of the leaf's life, and it contained green juice in it, which was very full, which is not the case with ordinary fallen leaves. In addition to this, the veins of the leaves become unusually tough and seem to be really muscles.
After the autopsy, she understood a little bit about the situation, and the life gift from the red veins was not simply to inject life force, but to completely transform the body of the dead thing to have life characteristics.
After the leaves, the life created by the sparrow is this stone snake. Now that more than a dozen stones that make up the snake's body have been completely connected together and become a living entity, the stones can no longer be separated. In addition to this, the snake seems to possess considerable intelligence, and can at least help the sparrow hunt some small animals, under her command.
Since small snakes can kill animals, larger snakes definitely have a way of killing something more powerful. The sparrow, who promised to protect the red stripes, already has a plan of action, and she needs to create an army to use this life-giving ability. The more troops, the more she can protect the red stripe and keep her oath. (To be continued......)
