Chapter 146: Snake Father
Ren Yi's car squeaked and swerved to a halt in front of the nearest town, and the doors didn't even have time to close.
It's a pity that it's already a step too late, and the big square in the middle of the village is already covered with twisted human shapes!
Ren Yi's heart tightened, and he immediately stepped up his steps, running towards the depths of the unfamiliar street along the pattern that spread like a primitive mural.
The sights on both sides of the road quickly receded, on the walls, on the doors, on the trunks of trees...... Everywhere there are printed human bodies that are hungry and thin, but their stomachs are swollen and deformed.
The more Ren Yi looked at it, the more he felt a chill in his back.
Many homes have closed their doors and windows, and the people in the house do not have the strength to go out into the street, so they can only wait at home to starve to death. When death crept in, they were imprinted on the floor and on the bedding before they could react.
"Help!"
Ren Yi ran forward, and suddenly a scream came from the alley.
Great, there are still people alive!
A thin woman stumbled over with a child in her arms and met Ren Yi head-on.
There was a crackling of footsteps, and the large army turned into the alley, only to see that behind the woman were many hungry men, women, and children.
"'Tatsukaze!' ”
Ren Yi roared, and the twisted ripples stirred up in the entire alley in an instant.
"Help, help!" In the first door of the alley, the two of them were hungry and weak, and they knocked desperately on the door.
Death flowed like a tidal wave, twisting the two people who had not had time to escape from the alley into two-dimensional lines and imprinted them on the gate.
People all over the alley felt a weightlessness in their chests that made them want to vomit.
In the next second, they collectively disappeared and appeared in a wilderness in an instant!
"Ahh They fell to the ground and screamed at the unfamiliar surroundings.
"You saved us? What a fairy apparition! An old lady with white hair walked out tremblingly and looked at Ren Yi bowing her head.
"Don't talk about that yet," Ren Yi said hurriedly, "My ability can't transfer so many people very far, this is still the range of the Advent, and as its awakening intensifies, sooner or later 'death' will spread!" ”
Moreover, there are so many villages and towns, it is impossible to save them one by one.
It is still necessary to solve the root cause and find the Advent!
"Think carefully about when the famine began, and what was wrong!" Ren Yi looked around at everyone, "Don't let go of any clues!" ”
"I have some ideas, I don't know if it's a clue."
Suddenly, an old woman with gray hair walked out of the crowd.
"I'm the oldest in the village, and I've been through a lot of things. I watched as the figures were twisted into something like a mural, and suddenly I remembered that this pattern seemed to be seen when I was a child. ”
Ren Yi frowned, "Could it be that this situation has happened before?" ”
"It seems like when I was six years old, and I followed my father to hunt in the mountains."
The old lady recalled.
"My father didn't let me go, saying that the forest was the territory of the mountain god, and mortals were not allowed to set foot on it."
"But that's just a legend, it should be a statement made up for fear that children will get lost in the mountains. My father couldn't stand me, so he took me into the mountains. ”
"After my father took me into the mountains, I was fascinated by the vast mountain world, so I sneaked into the woods while he was busy getting off the trap."
"There, I saw a cave with frescoes on the walls. Out of curiosity, I walked inside. Then I cried and never forgot that image again. ”
The old lady trembled, "The walls are full of such things, and although the people who painted them are very abstract, I can feel the fear and despair contained in them at a glance. I cried out loud for days, but I remember it very well, and there could be no mistake. ”
"My dad later told me that it was a fresco from the primitive period. At that time, people painted in a very rudimentary way, and this is what they painted. ”
"Now it seems that it is probably not painted. Rather, many years ago, a group of people were transformed into a two-dimensional appearance by the Adventists. ”
Hiss...... After listening to this, Ren Yi gasped.
If those are really left from the primitive period, I am afraid that they are earlier than the bronze trees in Wangyunzhai.
When did the Adventists come to Earth? This timeline is combing, I'm afraid it's getting earlier and earlier......
Ren Yi didn't dare to think about it.
"Wait a minute," Ren Yi's footsteps suddenly retracted, and he suddenly remembered what he was worshipping when he saw Chen Shu.
In front of the ancestral hall in the village, there is also an incense burner, burning incense.
"What do I see your family worshipping ......?"
"Yes, it's a tradition that has been passed down in our area for thousands of years." The old lady nodded.
"Legend has it that Heaven created the 'Serpent Father', followed by Man. The snake father is the head of the snake body, responsible for communicating with the heavens and man, and is sent by the heavens to protect us. People worship him every year, and they can ask for a year of good weather. ”
"Snake Father" ......
Ren Yi took a deep breath of cold air, another name he had never heard of!
Chen Shu seems to have said that the plague happened two months ago when it was just winter?
"Wait," Ren Yi frowned, "When is the sacrifice?" ”
Everyone thought about it, looked up at him in confusion and said, "Twice a year, it is autumn harvest and spring ploughing. Once to thank the previous year's blessings, and once to pray for a good harvest in the coming year...... What does this have to do with the Adventists? ”
"yes, it's all at this time, and what are you doing with all this nonsense?"
Everyone shouted.
Ren Yi waved his hand to interrupt: "Did you sacrifice last year?" ”
Everyone looked at each other and was stunned: "This ......"
The crowd immediately stopped talking.
"I'm ashamed to say that I didn't last year."
After coughing twice, an old man with a gray beard broke the silence and said, "After the advent era, my life cannot be saved, and many old rules will be abolished." In addition, the grain harvest last autumn was very bad, and we didn't have enough to eat, so we didn't have a sacrifice for the first time. ”
Immediately, the crowd shouted, "By the way, the famine began after that!" ”
And sure enough, it was! This "Snake Father" is the Advent!
"Could it be that it was because of the abolition of the rules and the punishment of God?" The crowd began to mumble.
"Silly!" Ren Yi collapsed, "The 'Snake Father' is the Advent!" It has always appeared in history as a god! ”
"And its power is 'judgment'!"
"Its slumber is cyclical, waking up at the time of the annual sacrifice and absorbing your life energy effortlessly!"
"It will not bless you at all, on the contrary, all the disasters you have experienced are brought by it!"
"How could it be...... the villagers trembled in disbelief, "how could he be a descender, how could he bring disaster to us......
"People imagine the image of the 'snake father' as a human head and a snake body because of those murals."
"The people in the mural fled with farming, fishing and hunting tools, which was interpreted by later generations as the 'snake father' teaching people to farm, so you will regard it as a god to bless the harvest."
Ren Yi explained one by one.
"But the reason is now clear, it's just the awakening of the 'snake father' that infected people with the plague and turned into the shape of a human snake!"
Everyone turned pale with fright and didn't say a word.
"It seems that there has been a lot of turmoil recently, and some adventers with a great need for life energy have appeared one after another." Ren Yi muttered to himself.
Indeed, it seems that before the big change, the behemoths of the sea have risen one after another.
What's going to happen......
Many doctrines and myths mention the end of the world, Ren Yi looked up at the sky, is the end really coming?
"There's no time, the Adventist is about to wake up." The goddess Themis said suddenly.
Ren Yi's heart tightened, why did he wake up so quickly?
He remembered that he had been coughing since he entered the town, because he had burned incense!
"Oh no, that's all about it......"
Ren Yi's figure flashed, and he returned to the village street just now.
The light blue incense mist has drifted out from every house, and the entire Pucheng has been surrounded by incense mist!
He looked out the window and saw that the radiation had penetrated into his brain. The inhabitants of the house dragged their thin bodies to kneel on the ground, and the incense burner was filled with incense, and wisps of life energy merged into the smoke and steamed into the sky.
So many people have been contained......
The fragrance slowly spread from the surrounding mountains, and the whole world began to fill with a distorted radiant force field.
In the surrounding mountains, something invisible is awakening and forming.
"It's not good, stop ...... right away"
"'Ghost Buddha'!" Ren Yi shouted, "Incense, paper, and candles are all non-combustible!" ”
Hmmm-
Suddenly, an invisible force field spread like a wave of water, and all the fireworks in the entire village were extinguished at the same time.
"Someone is disturbing our sacrifice!"
"How dare you stop the sacrifice to the snake father!"
Suddenly, everyone raised their heads one after another, their eyes were red, and they rushed out with kitchen knives and axes in their hands.
A dark shadow flashed behind Ren Yi, and a thin man swayed, holding a sharp knife in his hand, standing behind him.
Swish......
Another figure walked out, blocking the way in front of Ren Yi.
The crowd converged like a wave of water, encircling the entire alley. There are still people joining, endlessly.
Each of them spewed anger in their eyes, and they glared at Ren Yi with the same hatred. There is not the slightest shimmer of sanity.
They shouted furiously, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and they couldn't suppress it at all.
"This is the last judgment, the ...... of 'war'"
Ren Yi looked around at the scene in front of him and said coldly.
"The 'Snake Father' has fully awakened!"
