Chapter 143: The Only Hope
"Tell me anything you can think of that feels suspicious." Ren Yi dragged a chair and sat down in front of Chen Jiao.
"I really don't know, I really don't know what's going on!"
Chen Jiao shook her head desperately, sobbing blankly, "I didn't eat people, even retribution shouldn't come to me!" I really don't know why I'm like this......"
Could it be that when you lose weight to a certain stage, your body will automatically fall off? Like a ripe seed?
Ren Yi pondered.
He glanced at Tang Qing's corpse on the ground, he was indeed very thin; But the Chen family treats their youngest daughter very well, and there will always be good food for her, when Ren Yi first met their family, Chen Jiao was the most normal in the family.
This line of thinking should be negated.
To find out the pattern in this, we should still find more cases.
But the people in the city are panicking, either they are busy running for their lives or they are hungry and can't go home, and I don't necessarily have the leisure to take care of me when I go to ask people one by one.
"At this time, we have to give some benefits......" Ren Yi said to himself.
He called up the "round sky" and felt it, Lao Yu and other displaced people plus Jiuqu Village, not to mention there are 4,000 people, it should not be a problem to support the "Spell Worm Mother" to maintain her body for a period of time.
Alas, Ren Yi glanced at the box sympathetically, "Although you are a fake, you have also worked hard." ”
"Come here." Ren Yi beckoned to Chen Shu.
"I can heal your family, but you have to do me a favor. What do you think? ”
Tears immediately appeared in Chen Shu's eyes, and he kept nodding and said, "As long as we can become the way we are, you are willing to let us do anything!" ”
"'Ghost Buddha'."
Ren Yi closed his eyes and concentrated, and the "round sky" suddenly turned!
He's going to change the attributes of the "Mother of Spells"!
After a few moments, the golden light subsided. The silver box in Ren Yi's hand had turned iron-black.
Ren Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay." Originally, it could only trigger a replacement when a life was in danger, but now it can be triggered automatically whenever the marked person is weakened by the mother worm itself. ”
"Let's try it."
Chen Shu was stunned for a moment, not knowing when he had an orange-red circular pattern on his hand.
"This is ......" Chen Shu raised his hand and rubbed it, and in the next second, he watched his thin fingers bulge like inflatable!
Immediately afterwards, the stomach that was propped up by sawdust and red mud also returned to its original state in an instant, and the tearing pain disappeared!
"Am I alright?" Chen Shu looked at himself in disbelief, and in the blink of an eye, his whole body had regained its pre-famine health!
"Great......" he immediately leaned down and hugged his thin parents and cried.
"You two come over too." Ren Yidao.
After a while, the Chen family's parents also recovered
"You are our savior!"
The four of them knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
The "Spell Casting Worm Mother" broke three tails at once, the damage was too great, and the entire box was violently colliding, and Ren Yi could barely hold it.
The four were visibly startled by the box, "This is ......"
Ren Yi turned his mind and let the box disappear into his hand.
Ren Yi said, "Now go out and inquire, and tell me the news of all the molts." ”
"I don't believe it, two months have passed, and she is the only case!"
The four of them nodded hurriedly and went out quickly.
"Oh my God! How did you suddenly recover? "In the grass on the side of the road, there are a few yellow-faced and skinny people digging grass roots. They were immediately shocked when they heard the footsteps behind them, and hurriedly stopped them.
Hearing the conversation here, groups of thin and deformed people poured out of the depressed red clay courtyards around them.
"You ...... How did you do it! ”
"There is a master here, and he has cured us!" Chen Shu said excitedly.
"Where is the master!"
"I'm going too!"
Whew......
The alley, which was empty just now, was immediately crowded with black pressed heads!
Ren Yi was sitting in the living room of Chen Yuan's house, and not long after the room was empty, the door was immediately hammered!
When I opened the door, I saw a group of thin people with deformed abdomen kneeling in front of the door.
"Master, please save us too!"
"Your great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten in our lives!"
The black-pressed crowd fell down in pieces, kowtowing like the wind blowing wheat waves.
"Oh my God, there are so many of them." Ren Yi looked at the back with a chill.
"I may know the corpse you're looking for," Suddenly, a white-haired old man in the crowd stood up, "I'm the village chief of Chenjia Village, and when the incident first happened, there was still a vacant place in Yizhuang." A lot of ownerless corpses were carried there. are all registered. ”
The village chief stood up tremblingly, "If you want to see it, please come with me." ”
"You can't walk, right?"
Ren Yi mobilized the "round sky", and the metal box appeared in Ren Yi's hands again.
Everyone didn't know what was going on, they only knew that the village chief, who was still in shape a second ago, immediately changed back to his original state after Ren Yi's words!
The village chief was stunned for a few seconds, and the old tears were in tears.
"What a master!"
"We're finally saved!"
The crowd wept bitterly, as if they had seen a miracle.
Ren Yi walked through the winding alleys under the leadership of the village chief and walked towards the ancestral hall.
As soon as Ren Yi entered, he was choked by the heavy fragrance and coughed a few times. I saw a huge incense burner in front of the main hall, which was densely burned with countless incense.
"Forgive me." The village chief led him through the back door, "After the famine, everyone doesn't know what to do. ”
Ren Yi looked up into the dimly lit hall as he walked.
The entire ancestral hall was covered with red cloth to block the windows, and a few pillars of light penetrated the dust all over the house, like clouds and mist, making it almost impossible to see the dragon patterns on the walls.
Ren Yi followed the village chief through the back door of the ancestral hall and came to a side hall. It's also cloudy inside.
Ren Yi looked up and saw lattices on three walls, with many black clay altars, densely packed with a large area.
The village chief pointed to the middle wall, "At that time, the famine had just begun, and the people of the village still had the strength to deal with these things. To prevent the plague, the corpses that fell on the roadside were burned and placed in jars. ”
Ren Yi took one and opened the black cloth package on it in turn.
Of the ten altars of bones, about four were twisted and deformed.
Ren Yi looked at the vertebrae spread out on the offering table, several of them were quite weird, the skull became slender and sharp, and the limbs were soft and deformed, clinging to the spine, coiled together like a snake.
"This ......," the village chief was taken aback, "how did they become like this?" ”
Ren Yi thought thoughtfully, "No wonder I can get into the sewer pipe." ”
Tang Qing was terrified when he saw that he had become like this, and there happened to be a sewer pipe beside him, so he panicked and hid.
Chen Yuan happened to see this terrifying picture, thinking that her husband, who had been with her for many years, was actually a monster, and her body was already thin and prostrate, so she was scared to death at that time.
Ren Yi pointed to the pile of bones, "Didn't you pay attention when you burned it?" ”
The village chief said, "A corpse is lying on the side of the road, who can look at it one by one, it is all burned piece by piece." ”
Soon, all the deformed bones were picked out and placed on the ground.
"A lot of people who disappear overnight inexplicably are not necessarily eaten, but become this kind of deformed bones."
Ren Yi pondered.
Hidden under the famine, undiscovered. Everyone was starving to death, and no one was in the mood to observe whether the bones on the side of the road were distorted.
Among the bones in front of him were large and small, men and women, and even people with hunchbacks and broken legs.
"But I still don't know what conditions people will become this kind of deformity."
Ren Yi let out a long sigh and scratched his head.
"Master, there are still many people who can't hold on, please be merciful and save them." The village chief came over and pleaded.
"Okay." Ren Yi looked around, "The open space in the ancestral hall is relatively large, let the most serious people come over." ”
Soon, a long queue formed at the entrance of the ancestral hall.
"Great, I'm back to the way I was!"
"Thank you for your great kindness......"
Inside, thanks, crying, and kowtowing continued, and many people went in and jumped out.
Half of the morning passed, Ren Yi cured dozens of people, and the queue at the entrance of the ancestral hall became longer and longer.
"I'm tired, no, no......"
Why don't you let them connect to the "round sky"?
Ren Yi glanced at it, and the life energy of the cured person could be completely utilized.
"Say a word to me." Heaven and earth are the law, and they are not broken or established'. ”
"'Heaven and earth are the law, and if it is not broken, it will not stand'......" The villagers muttered, and they were suddenly stunned, "Master, you are a Taoist priest?" It turns out that you are really a master of the world! ”
"We will definitely recite it day and night in the future! Dare to ask what genre you are from? Is there such a ...... as the scriptures?"
Okay, this is treating me as a missionary?
As the morning passed, many people returned to normal, and the village was filled with a festive atmosphere no less than that of the New Year.
"Master, can you take a break, do you want to eat?" Mother Chen said respectfully.
"We don't have anything to eat." Chen Jiao said.
"Didn't the master give us back a ......?"
The two of them were busy talking as they worked.
Suddenly, Chen's mother's face changed, and she trembled: "Gao, Gao, how do I feel hungry again!" ”
"It's time for dinner." Ren Yi frowned, stood up and said.
Chen Shu's stomach let out a rumble, and he covered his mouth in horror and said, "Me too!" What to do! ”
Then, the newly healed person gradually became afraid, "So are we!" Isn't it completely cured......
"The radiation concentration has increased." The voice of the goddess Themis rang out suddenly, "The Adventist is trying to wake up. ”
Ren Yi raised his head as if he was facing a great enemy, strode out of the ancestral hall, and looked around at the sky outside the ancestral hall.
The white clouds are long.
It's not that it wasn't cured, it's that the Adventist has awakened further!
It's around here, polluting the villagers once again!
"Ahh Suddenly, the long queue at the entrance of the ancestral hall gathered, and some people covered their foreheads in pain.
He didn't know that his scalp had cracked, sharp and deformed bones were drilling out, and blood was pouring down his face.
The other person beside him looked at him in horror, frightened by the crack in his head, knocking over the stool and crawling backwards on the ground.
Suddenly, the man's movements also stopped.
Because he felt that his hands could not be strengthened, and his body became very heavy, as if it was filled with mercury, and he could not move a single step on the ground.
He was increasingly unable to control his limbs.
A pain came from deep up his spine.
"Ahh A scream rang through the sky.
"Help! Help! ”
"Nope! I don't want to die! ”
The whole group broke up, and everyone began to flee.
A lot of people fell on the run.
"Superior! Think of a way! Chen Shu screamed, and the top of his head was also distorted at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ren Yi froze in place. In his eyes, a group of people began to cover their heads and roll.
The flesh was like a heavy silkworm chrysalis cracked open at one eye, and the skull that became slender came out of it, and the spine swayed and swam like a snake, and the flesh began to collapse.
The spine tugged at the bones of the hands and feet, wandering on the ground. The bones of the hands and feet are constantly changing, softening, twisting, and gluing together with the spine.
The cyan marks on their arms burst one after another, and the embodied "spell-casting insect mother" could no longer bear it, and turned into a puff of smoke with a snap!
Poof-
Ren Yi spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the "round sky" disappeared suddenly.
Ren Yi fell to the ground, unconscious.
