Chapter 8 Healing the Sick and Saving People
Someone outside the door pushed the door vigorously, and seeing that the door was crumbling, Zhou Dalang hurriedly said: "Son, you avoid it first." The angry folks were terrified, and after the people who had been sacrificed had fled last year, the angry people tied up other people's homes and forced the fleeing people to come back. ”
Shui Sheng smiled: "It's okay, they are bewitched by human words, as long as the worries in their hearts are eliminated, they will naturally dissipate." ”
"Bang. ”
The dilapidated gate finally collapsed under the force of the force, and angry townsfolk swarmed in with all sorts of tools in their hands, such as rakes, hoes, hammers, and even their kitchen knives. The angry crowd wrapped up the aquatic clumps that came out of the house.
One of them pointed to the water and said, "This is him, he is the one who sacrificed this year, hurry up and take him to the altar, and the wrath of the gods will be appeased." ”
Carried away by the rage, the townsfolk burst into unprecedented courage, and several daring ones took ropes and prepared to tie up the aquatic creatures. Xi'er rushed forward, knocked the person who dared to step forward to the ground and said, "Who dares to touch my husband?"
Everyone is afraid to take a step back.
"Folks, you must know that it is because the sick man in his house did not serve the gods that the gods will send down their wrath and spread the plague to us. Grab him and bring him to the altar, and the sick people in the town will be fine. The mayor of the town, Gao Chao, pushed away the crowd and stepped forward and said, "The demon girl is captured, don't blame us for destroying flowers with hot hands." ”
Xi'er pulled out a soft sword from her waist, the sharp soft sword rattled, and the sword body appeared to be blazing under the reflection of the sun. The murderous aura of Zhihan made the whole scene suddenly a lot colder.
"Enchantress, Hugh is rampant. Your son-in-law volunteered to be a person of life sacrifice to pray for the blessing of my town. Today he provoked the gods to wrath the whole town. If he is unwilling to go, I will naturally escort Zhou Dalang there. Take away the wrath of the gods. Gao Chao said with a cold face: "Fellow villagers, you think about the family members who are lying on the hospital bed with painful voices, just because he is just an outsider who makes the townspeople miserable, and the stronger ones can last for three or two days, but how can the children and the elderly in the family survive." ”
The townspeople, instigated by the mayor, were filled with anger in their eyes, and tried to arrest them several times, but they were afraid of the sword that burned the flames.
Xi'er snorted coldly and said, "You are in cahoots with that monster, and I am afraid that I will dirty my sword if I kill you." Childe, I'm not good at words, so let's come. ”
Xi'er, who retreated to the side, stared vigilantly at the townspeople in front of her, if they broke out and hurt someone, Xi'er could kill that person as soon as possible.
Shui Sheng said: "I know that all of you guys are sick, but in fact, the culprit of all this is caused by the monsters in the mountains around your town. Just now, after I returned to Zhou's house, I saved Zhou Dalang's son. ”
"Yes, if this son hadn't come to my rescue, I'm afraid my son would have died a long time ago. Zhou Dalang hurriedly stepped forward to explain the situation to Shui Sheng.
"I don't believe you. When words come out of your mouth, seeing is believing. Would you rather believe the words of an outsider than me?" Gao Chao pointed to Shui Sheng and said, "He is a monster, and since he came to the town, he has had many troubles, and he is unwilling to serve the Celestial Gods, so he dares to sneak back. For our safety, for the well-being of our families, and for the harvest of our town. Catching him and dedicating him to the gods is the only way out for us. ”
Seeing the angry townspeople, Zhou Dalang and Cuilan couldn't listen to how they explained, so they pulled Zhou Dalang and Cuilan back to move, facing the angry townspeople's hearts were as calm as water, and the invisible majesty emanated from his body, and none of the townspeople dared to step forward. The scene became quieter and quieter, and in the end, no matter how much Gao Chao instigated it, it was useless, and the powerful aura suppressed the townspeople to death. The majesty of the superior is not something that these illiterate mountain village men can compete with.
It's getting quieter, so quiet that you can hear a pin drop on the ground. The aquatic majestic gaze scanned the dozens of townsfolk in front of them, and they couldn't help but take a step back to avoid the sharp gaze. The pressure they had never felt before made them dare not breathe.
Shui Sheng suppressed the rampage and said to the townspeople, "The gods you worship are youkai. ”
Gao Chao angrily pointed at Shui Sheng and said, "Why do you say that the gods are monsters. You are spreading rumors and you are going to be punished by the gods. ”
"Don't shout, I will show you the evidence to convince you. Shui Sheng sneered.
Lead this big guy to the barreh, the threshing floor is on the riverside of the town, Xi'er took out the python demon from the Sumeru bag, the huge threshing field can only put down the body of the python, and then countless flies swarmed to the corpse of the snake demon, the strong smell of the fish exudes extremely disgusting, some people can't stand the demonic smell and vomit directly. Shui Sheng pointed at the snake demon and said, "Fellow villagers, this is the god you have believed in for three years. Being able to stand here to this day shows that you are the strongest people in this town. Now that the snake demon is dead, the poison it has inflicted on you has also upset the balance, and many people in the town have poisoned their stomachs and six internal organs and need to be treated quickly. Go and bring your patients here, and I'll detoxify them myself. ”
The simple townsfolk saw that there was a huge corpse to corroborate it, and they couldn't help but believe it after listening to the words of the aquatic general. They rushed home to take the sick to the threshing floor. Human life is at stake, this is the most simple idea in the hearts of the townspeople.
Everyone dispersed, leaving the pale-faced Mayor Gao Chao staring at the huge corpse in front of him, unable to believe that the extremely powerful Demon King had been killed by a stinky kid. How could this convince him. The three years of hard work have been in vain, and he was cursed by the monster to cast a demon spell. The Demon King is dead, and his death is not far away. Gao Chao, whose entire world view had collapsed, collapsed on the ground weakly, staring blankly at the snake demon's corpse.
Shui Sheng walked over and said condescendingly, "Mayor Gao, what else do you have to say?"
"Heroes save me, heroes save me, I was forced to take refuge in this snake demon. Gao Chao seemed to be grasping a life-saving straw, hugging the aquatic feet and howling heartbreakingly: "I was forced to be helpless, and I don't want to do anything for this snake demon." I did this out of desperation. ”
Shui Sheng helped up in Gao Chao and said: "I also know that you are forced to be helpless, the first time I saw you yesterday, I knew that you were demonized by monsters." Later, after detoxifying the villagers, I will unravel the demon law with you. ”
Gao Chao hurriedly said: "Gongzi really understands righteousness, and I can't repay your great kindness even if I am a cow or a horse." ”
Shui Sheng said: "You go find a few strong men with great strength first, I have something to explain to them." ”
"Childe, wait a minute, I'll go find someone. After hearing this, Gao Chao immediately went to find someone.
Xi'er next to her put away the corpse of the snake demon, and the fishy stench in the air was also blown away by the breeze, and Xi'er said puzzledly: "Sir, why do you want to talk about this bad guy and let him go." ”
Shui Sheng said: "Yesterday I asked you to check on the situation of Gao Chao's family?"
Xi'er frowned and said: "More than a dozen members of his family are all infected with demonic energy, and Gao Chao was also cursed by monsters. even sold all his souls to the snake demon. I despise such people the most. ”
"This is the way this is the world, and many people will only choose to give in in the face of a powerful enemy. "Aquatic Tract.
Xi'er said: "That's what you say, but there is another possibility that you are going to challenge the enemy. Why didn't he choose to challenge the enemy?"
Shui Sheng looked at the river and said: "I still remember what happened to Zhou Dalang and us in the town, in the first year, the snake demon wanted to find a human sacrifice, and it was the head of the high dynasty leader who invited the Taoist priest to catch the demon, which shows that he was also against the sacrifice at that time, knowing that this is a monster doing trouble." Yes, he was a good guy who was willing to work for the welfare of the town. The reason why he became bad was that the basilisk took control of his family, threatening him with his family to force him to submit to the bassil's obscenity and do this unwillful thing. ”
Xi'er said clearly: "I see, he was a good person, but he surrendered to the snake demon for the comfort of his family, just to ensure the comfort of his own people." But Xi'er still doesn't like such people. People who are too selfish can't be relied on after all. ”
Shui Sheng smiled: "Not everyone is a saint, and not everyone will choose to be selfless, he is just a mortal in the rolling mortal dust, he has seven emotions and six desires, so he will choose to take refuge in the snake demon." People are constantly choosing to survive. Mortals, selfishness is very serious, and it is justified. If everyone is as selfless as a saint, the destruction of this world will not be far off. ”
Xi'er asked in surprise, "Sir, where did you start with this?"
Just as he was about to answer Xi'er's question, the townspeople came to the threshing floor with the sick one after another, and the topic had to be put aside and began to detoxify and cure the sick. There were constant painful moans in the crowd, and the sick people were all sallow-faced, weak hands and feet, and some of the more poisoned ones had foamed at the mouth and were unconscious.
"Childe, Childe, the water you asked for was brought to you. Zhou Dalang carried two buckets of water and separated the crowd and came to Shui Sheng.
Shui Sheng said: "You put down the bucket and let the villagers stand in line one by one, and I will prepare the antidote." Zhou Dalang put down the bucket as he said, and let the people who were not sick line up and wait to get the antidote.
Gao Chao also rushed over with a few young and strong young men, and listened to the arrangement.
Put the antidote into the water, stir the water well, bring a spoon and bowl and start dispensing the antidote. Said to Gao Chao: "You come to give alms and antidotes." ”
"Me?!" Gao Chao said in surprise.
Shui Sheng nodded and said, "You are here to distribute the antidote, so that you can re-establish your prestige in the town, and you have to call someone to tear down the altar." ”
Hearing this, Mayor Gao couldn't stop being excited, he originally thought that his town was at the end, but he didn't expect that the handsome man in front of him was willing to give up this great glory to himself. The townsfolk are simple and the most ignorant, and as long as someone treats him well, he will not be guilty of anything he has done before.
"Come on, stand in line, this is the antidote prepared by the overseas gods for us, and the storage medicine will be eliminated until the disease is removed. "The prestige of the Gao Dynasty is still there, and many townspeople give it to their patients after getting the antidote. But after a while, the pale face finally had a trace of blood. The hands and feet also became stronger, and when they heard the rumbling of their stomachs, a pain came, and many patients walked towards the side of the river to untie their belts and excrete the poison in their bodies.
The stench came, and it made people's stomachs tumble and they couldn't help but want to vomit. When the last patient finished drinking the medicine, it happened that the antidote had also run out. Gao Chao looked at the two empty barrels, and looked around to see that the figure of the handsome boy had long disappeared. Gao Chao, who left everyone behind, immediately rushed to Zhou Dalang's house.
But after arriving at Zhou's house, Gao Chao was dumbfounded, and after the noble son came back, he cast a spell to wake up the sleeping Zhou family, and then left the town with a beautiful maid, not knowing where to go.
The icy aura spread throughout Gao Chao's body.
