Chapter 13: Decay

Shen Gui and others did not tell the specific principle of this, that is, why they used the lives of Lin Shiquan and his wife as a medium, and how this medium would work.

At that time, Zhang Dingshan and He Wei had asked, but Shen Gui and others said that they didn't know.

That's the realm of the gods.

After hearing Dong'anpo's words, Lin Shiquan and his wife turned pale and couldn't speak for a long time. Eventually, the two said they wanted to think about it.

Dong Anpo and others left, leaving Lin Shiquan and his wife in the bamboo building.

Shen Gui recounted that the two stayed alone in the bamboo building for about two hours before finally making a decision.

The two finally said that in order to save Lin Shen and let him have a happy life, they decided to ...... Give your life.

Seeing this, Lu Ming sighed slightly in his heart.

Although I don't know why Lin Shiquan and his wife sacrificed the unborn Lin Shen to the gods at the beginning, at this moment, when making this decision, there is no doubt that they are a pair of great parents.

Lin Shen said that when his parents were still alive, they were not close to him. They are always busy with work, and even if they take themselves on trips, they are in a hurry, and they only visit various masters, but they do not really play.

But in their hearts, there is no doubt that they love this child deeply. They may just be busy with work and want to create better living conditions for Lin Shen, but ignore the daily family affection.

Lu Ming continued to watch.

Dong Anpo repeatedly confirmed that after confirming that Lin Shiquan and his wife had made up their minds, they finally took over the business. However, Dong An Po claimed that two people were needed to erect the statue and altar of Dong An God first. Because the subsequent rituals, practices, need to be performed before the idol.

It just so happens that Lin Shiquan and his wife also need time to arrange their future affairs and make plans for Lin Shen's future. So they agreed to set the date for the ceremony to be held eight months later.

As Zhang Dingshan and others expected, the day of the ceremony was the day when Lin Shiquan and his wife died unexpectedly, and Dong'an Po also died inexplicably, four years ago on October 22.

After finalizing the follow-up matters, the husband and wife left in a hurry with Lin Shen. Later, under the remote command of the husband and wife, workers and building materials began to be transported to this small mountain village, and it took several months for the statue to finally be erected. The altar before the idol was also built.

The interrogation record includes a picture of the statue. After learning about the existence of this statue during the inquiry of Shen Gui and others, Zhang Dingshan asked the villagers to lead him to see it.

So Lu Ming saw the appearance of this god who was in charge of all wolves, wild boars, and trees more than three meters in the legends of the villagers.

Its appearance was different from the appearance of the gods in Lu Ming's cognition. It is tall, thin, and has a vaguely human face, but its mouth is protruding, like a wolf's mouth. It is said to be a wolf's mouth, but it has fangs similar to that of a wild boar. The whole image vaguely gives people a slightly weird feeling in the sacred.

In front of it is a place that resembles a square. It has an area of several hundred square meters. But that's just the pedestal. It has several floors, and the higher you go, the smaller the area. The highest floor has an area of just over 200 square meters.

In the middle of the square is a huge incense burner. The incense burner was full of incense ash, and it was clear that the incense was quite vigorous. In front of the incense burner, there are all kinds of offerings, including melons and fruits, large pieces of beef and mutton, and wine.

Obviously, this is the altar donated by Lin Shiquan and his wife.

There is also a hut to the west of the altar. This should be the temple. When there is some kind of grand festival or ceremony, Dong An Po or other clergy can rest here and arrange things and so on. Of course, in normal times, Dong Anpo would not be here. She will stay in the bamboo building in the village.

Next to the altar and the statue, there is a specially built path. The path is paved with bricks and stones, and steps are built to wind all the way down the mountain. Local villagers can then use this path to worship the god Dong'an.

Lu Ming looked at the huge Dong'an Divine Statue and thought for a moment, then continued to look at it.

After that, after a few months, Lin Shiquan and his wife finally completed the arrangements for the future. They sold all the properties in their name one after another and exchanged them for cash. And in his daily life, he began to deliberately train Lin Shen's ability to live independently, and instilled in him a future life plan.

Real estate, education, mate selection, career, etc.

Lin Shen's grandparents, grandparents and grandparents have all passed away. The only uncle, who is still a vampire, is not reliable at all. Once Lin Shiquan and his wife also died, Lin Shen had no one to entrust at all.

Everything can only rely on the young Lin Shen himself.

This inevitably adds a lot of uncertain risks. After all, society is sinister, and Lin Shen's age is too young. But obviously, compared with the bad luck that Lin Shen couldn't get entangled, Lin Shiquan and his wife think that it is more important to clear the bad luck.

After everything was completed, according to Dong'anpo's instructions, Lin Shiquan and his wife came to Sanshui Village again with the things needed for the ceremony - Lin Shen's hair, nails, some intimate clothes, as well as Lin Shiquan's sperm and Zhao Lifang's menstrual blood.

Here, Dong An Po led the two of them, and first performed some ceremonies in front of the statue of Dong An God. The husband and wife prayed sincerely and made a vow that they were willing to exchange their lives for the good fortune of their only son.

Shen Gui and other village elders were all present at the time. They cooperated and assisted Dong An Po to complete the ceremony.

After that, Dong Anpo calculated the direction and told Lin Shiquan and his wife a place. And he gave them two an idol, and then said that they should go to that place on the appointed day, and pray earnestly to the idol of the god Dong'an in that place.

Shen Gui still probably remembered that direction. According to his description, after Zhang Dingshan's inquiry, he found that it was not far from the place where Lin Shiquan and his wife had an accident.

A slight error may be due to the fact that too much time has passed, and Shen Gui's memory is slightly biased.

After all, the earth is so big that it is impossible to say that the same place happens to be the same place because of coincidence. This basically determined that the "accident" encountered by Lin Shiquan and his wife must be related to Dong'an Po.

In addition, there are many more exquisite. For example, the two of them need to stick some runes on their bodies, fast and bathe two days in advance, when praying, they must sincerely recite the mantra, and the direction must also be in the direction of Dong'an, and the idol must be placed in the shadows, etc.

Dong'an Po also said that while the two prayed sincerely, they would also hold a ceremony at the same time in the temple before the statue of Dong'an. At that time, if everything in the two of them is not wrong, then something strange will definitely happen.

But what kind of miraculous thing it is, Dong Anpo doesn't know. All she knew was it was going to happen. If it doesn't happen, it means that something went wrong with the actions of the two, which means that the ceremony has failed.

After that, Lin Shiquan and his wife left Sanshui Village.

A few days later, the day before the appointed day, Dong An Po came alone to the shrine next to the statue. This time, Shen Gui and the others were not accompanied.

Because Dong An Po said that this time the ceremony, it may be risky. If someone is around, it can be affected. Shen Gui and the others just need to guard the surroundings of the statue and don't let people disturb them.

The ceremony will take place until the evening of the second day. During this time, if anything happens, if you hear anything, if you see anything, you must not come here. The next night, after 12 midnight, no one could come up.

And so, the ceremony began. Shen Gui and the others waited under the statue.

The first night, and the second day, were all uneventful. The gods and temples were blessed with a beautiful wind and sun, clear skies, light winds and clouds, and no movement.

Of course, Lu Ming knew that it was not that there was no movement on this day. In fact, just this afternoon, on the sea hundreds of miles away, Lin Shiquan and his wife, who went out to sea on a sampan, claimed to be the ones who went to sea fishing, and died there because of an "accident".

Shen Gui and the others continued to wait here. Until the evening.

Shen Gui remembers it very clearly. That day, until 11 p.m., it was still calm. A few people who had been waiting for more than a day couldn't help but relax in their hearts.

After all, the ceremony will end at 12 p.m. It's not far from the end now. And there has been no movement yet, which is enough to show that the ceremony went smoothly.

But at about 11:20 p.m., there was a sudden movement from the statue on the mountain.

The crowd could faintly hear the intermittent screams.

The scream was extremely poignant, like a ghost crying wolf, which was terrifying. At this time, a light breeze seemed to pick up in the mountains, and a drizzle began to fall. The temperature plummeted for a while, and even if there was a fire, several people were still cold to the bone.

The wind and rain are bitter, the sky is cold and the ground is freezing, the night is moonless, and the ghosts cry and wolves howl.

Headed by the village chief Shen Gui, more than a dozen elders in the village trembled with fright. People wanted to turn on the flashlight and rush to the temple to have a look, remembering Dong'anpo's request to see the current time, but they didn't dare to go.

I don't know what's going on there—maybe it's a fierce battle between the gods, maybe it's already surrounded by ghosts, and I really don't dare to go up at this moment.

Everyone trembled and deliberated for a moment, and finally decided to summon the young people in the village to come over first.

Everyone took out their only mobile phone, dialed the phone, and the man called the young men in the village, and at about 12 o'clock, dozens of young men gathered here with shovels, hoes, wooden sticks and other weapons.

At this moment, the screams from the mountains had disappeared, and silence had completely returned. But even so, everyone still did not dare to be careless and did not dare to act on their own.

After waiting for a while, and after 12 o'clock, everyone mustered up their courage, flashed more than 20 flashlights, grabbed their weapons, and went to the temple together.

When he arrived at the altar, he saw that everything was normal at the altar. The idol still stood in the darkness, and on the altar, the huge incense burner and the offerings before the incense burner were still in place, and nothing had changed.

But Dong An Po did not come out of the temple. As they walked to the temple, they saw that all the windows of the temple had been opened. Through the window, the flashlight was in, and everyone saw that all the candles burning on the floor of the temple had been extinguished, and yellow paper, Dharma tables, incense candles and other objects were scattered all over the ground, as if someone was fighting here.

When I looked ahead, I saw a very terrifying scene. At this moment, even if there are dozens of young people here, and each of them has weapons in their hands, they still frighten many people.

Some of the timid ones had collapsed to the ground. and the bold tremble.

If it weren't for the large number of people here and the darkness outside, I'm afraid many people would have been frightened and turned around and fled.

They saw a human body in the temple.

No, that's not a human body anymore. It can only be regarded as a human body.

The clothes that the thing was wearing could vaguely be distinguished as Dong Anpo's clothes. Judging from the height and approximate body shape, this human body should be Dong An Po. But at this moment, Dong'an Po, where is there still a person.

She...... At this moment, she is already rotting all over.

Yes, rotting all over the body. The whole body, face, neck, hands and feet, legs, and arms, all rotted.

The flesh was already blue-black, and there were wounds everywhere, all of which were oozing pus, and they looked ugly.

Her head, nose, ears, lips, and eyeballs had even fallen off. You can't see the original appearance at all.

But...... Dong Anpo was obviously alive before. Even if she was dead, she would have been dead for less than two days at most. After all, two days ago, Dong Anpo went up the mountain in front of everyone's own eyes.

Even if Dong'an Po died immediately when she went up the mountain at that time, it would be impossible for her to rot like this in such a short time. It can't be like this even in the summer. Not to mention that it's already autumn and the temperature in the mountains is low.

How could a person rot like this in such a short period of time?!

It is certain that this must not be caused by normal factors. And, if not the normal factor, then ......

"Evil God, it's an evil god!"

Shen Gui described that someone called out this word in horror at that time.

At this moment, it is the time for Dong'an Po to hold a ceremony and ask Dong'an God to take action and regain Lin Shen's "good luck" from the evil god who took Lin Shen's "good luck".

This is a confrontation between the gods.

But now, Dong Anpo is decomposing all over her body and dying.

Everyone was so frightened that they knelt on the ground, and in the darkness, they frantically prayed in front of the statue of Dong'an. It seems that if you neglect it a little, this whole body decay will befall you.

The rain is getting heavier. The mountains and rivers at night are cold to the bone. But no one dared to go. It lasted until dawn, and then the rest of the villagers came one after another to help these people back home.

After that, the elders in the village strongly supported the sick body and discussed, and finally decided to collect the bones of Dong'an Po first.

As for calling the police, that is absolutely undaring. At this moment, it is already a blessing to be able to calm things down, where do you dare to make any more troubles. What if the evil god retaliates again?

In the end, Dong'an Po was hastily buried, and this matter became a taboo in the village. Until Zhang Dingshan and a few people arrived.
