152 Human Facial Sores! (Ask for subscription)
It was very quiet for a while.
Only the sound of the clay figurines continued to spread in all directions.
Xue Lansu and the others all pricked up their ears and listened carefully.
The god of agriculture looked at the clay figurine, his expression uncertain.
This kind of scene of being exposed in person made him ashamed and angry.
At other times, he rushed up and pinched the other party to death.
But now, although he has this idea, he can't put it into action.
Because whenever he wanted to kill the clay man on the spot, he would always feel a strong sense of crisis from Su Mo.
It was as if every wisp of consciousness was reminding him that as long as he made a slight move, he would be destroyed on the spot!
Saturnalia had always been proud of his hunches, but today he wished he had never had such abilities!
However, the truth does not depend on the will of man, the situation is stronger than man, and the god of agriculture can only hold back the resentment in his heart and secretly look for a way out.
At the same time, the clay man didn't stop there.
He glanced at the god of agriculture not without sarcasm, and then said:
"After devouring the other Shinto practitioners, our Saturnalia took possession of the other party's original territory and enjoyed the offerings of the other party's followers.
His calculations are very good, in his opinion, the world pursues the law of the jungle, since he is more powerful than the gods worshiped by those believers, he should be able to easily capture the believers of the other party and enjoy the incense they worship.
However, he underestimated people's hearts!
When the believers learned of the fall of the god who sheltered the village, they did not give in easily, but instead attacked him, the evil god.
This is simply incomprehensible to our god of agriculture.
Obviously, he is stronger than the original gods, and worshipping him will give him better protection and more blessings.
It only takes a simple change of faith to do it, so why deal with him the other way around?
What's more, he had already devoured the original gods, and even if these mortals defeated him, it would be impossible to resurrect them.
Our god of agriculture simply could not understand such a thing.
And the hostility of the mortals made him feel that the dignity of his gods had been seriously challenged.
To this end, he began to slaughter the city!
In three days, he killed 20,000 people and slaughtered four villages and towns.
Obviously, many people began to surrender later, but he still couldn't stop his killing intent.
Perhaps this kind of slaughter of the weak made him feel the superiority of controlling the life and death of others before his death.
More and more people at the bottom are fleeing the country.
Eventually, the tragedy attracted the attention of some nearby cultivators.
But ordinary cultivators were no match for him.
Many people were killed and swallowed by him.
Among them is a Taoist who returned to his hometown to visit relatives.
The Dao Seed's life card was shattered, alarming the Punishment Division of the Ten Thousand Weapons Sect.
The nearest law enforcer of the Mage Realm, after receiving the order from the sect, rushed to hunt and kill.
However, our god of agriculture actually used the blood and qi origin of countless cultivators to inflict a heavy blow on that enforcer.
After the enforcers retreated, Saturnalia also realized the seriousness of the matter, and began to run away without saying a word.
But he didn't expect that the death of the Dao seed had attached a resentful soul to him.
No matter how he escaped, it was impossible for him to escape the pursuit of the Ten Thousand Weapons Sect.
In the end, the four mages barricaded him in the wilderness.
I wanted to kill him on the spot.
Unexpectedly, he fused a special strange object to give it the power of resurrection.
After the main body is killed, Shen Yun, who was deliberately hidden elsewhere, will be resurrected as the main body.
The Wraith Trap can only be marked once, and there is no way to trace this resurrected spirit.
In addition, they had more important things to deal with at that time, so they couldn't delay too much time.
So after some discussion, with the power of the four mages, they formed a sealing array, sealed it into the array, and placed it in this secret realm, ready to rely on the power of time to wipe it out.
In order to prevent problems with the seal, one of the mages also arranged for two disciples to guard nearby.
In addition, I have prepared some plans to deal with problems, such as the Broken Cone and the mantra I used earlier.
The records were written by these two disciples and passed down from generation to generation.
Until it finally fell into the hands of the shrine keeper unexpectedly. ”
"Wait, it looks like there's something missing from this, right?"
Su Mo frowned, and said in a condensed voice:
"Since the god of agriculture was sealed by the mages of the Ten Thousand Weapons Sect, why did Zhang Yingbao appear here?
Why was this god of agriculture sealed in Zhang Yingbao's body again?
At that point in time, Zhang Yingbao's grandfather may not have been born yet, right? ”
"You're right."
The clay figure nodded.
He glanced at the god of agriculture, who was expressionless and silent, and then added:
"In fact, this is not the first time that our god of agriculture has broken the seal.
The four mages were in too much of a hurry, and the seal was not as strong as they had imagined.
Originally, they had planned to wait until they were done with the matter at hand and then come back to deal with the seal here.
Whether it is reinforcement or finding a way to kill it, it is always necessary to give the corresponding disposal method.
However, until the disciples who stayed behind gave birth to children and died outside the seal, they never returned.
As time passed, about a hundred years later, the seal began to have problems.
At that time, small villages had been established on the basis of the seals.
The long period of peace and quiet made the descendants of those two disciples almost forget about the matter of sealing.
Coupled with the continuous decline of spiritual energy, it is difficult for future generations to practice, and many people with lofty ideals can't help but run to the outside world to find opportunities for promotion.
On the contrary, they are left, basically thinking that they have no way forward, and they do not have much cultivation, and they are willing to stay in the village to enjoy happiness.
In this case, the evil aura leaking from the seal caused a plague in the village.
At the time, people called this disease "human face sore".
Specific scabies will develop on the patient's body.
This type of scabies is different from other types of scabies in that it has a human-shaped face as a whole.
And most importantly, the faces of this humanoid are basically villagers who have died in the village.
Initially, facial sores were the size of a fingernail and could appear anywhere on the body, even without the patient being aware of it.
But as time goes on, the sores will get bigger and bigger, and eventually they will even take up most of the chest and abdomen like a football.
In the process of the sores getting bigger, the human face formed on the scabies will become more and more real and clear, and finally it will even be able to exude its own will and have a dialogue with the owner of the body.
Their words and wills are magical, and they can easily charm the owner of their body, turning them into puppets and committing unimaginable atrocities.
Even those low-level cultivators often find it difficult to resist the erosion of human face sores.
Although the horrors of facial sores were revealed in a very short period of time, not everyone in the village at the time was resistant to it.
Especially recently, some villagers who have lost their relatives have seen their relatives resurrected in the form of facial sores on their bodies, but their hearts are more relieved and excited.
It's as if their loved ones aren't really dead, but are accompanying them in a different way.
This pathological quest spreads more and more, and the entire village is plunged into an unprecedented crisis.
Some sane villagers sensed that something was wrong and actively went to the outside world for help.
Originally, if it was just like this, under the secret manipulation of the god of agriculture, the seal would be broken sooner or later.
But at this moment, an unexpected character came to the village.
He is Zhang Yingbao. ”
"Zhang Yingbao came from tracking the legacy of the Ten Thousand Weapons Sect.
At that time, the Ten Thousand Weapons Sect had disappeared from this land.
No one knows exactly where they went.
And the territory they originally occupied, the territory they ruled, welcomed many cultivators to visit.
Over the course of a hundred years, many valuable items have been looted.
But there are still some people who linger among the ruins of the Ten Thousand Weapons Sect, eager to find some missing treasures.
This is the case with Zhang Yingbao.
As a refiner who is particularly good at refining weapons, his dedication to the Ten Thousand Weapons Sect is even more than others.
He has been traveling for a long time in the outside world, but in fact, he has been tracing the ruins of the Ten Thousand Weapons Sect.
And the village where the seal is located is based on some clues he heard in the past, and he came to investigate.
As a result, this exploration happened to encounter an outbreak of facial sores.
Zhang Yingbao is not good at alchemy, and it can even be said that he does not have the slightest talent for alchemy.
No matter how strong his refining ability is, how barren his alchemy talent is.
But fortunately, he also has a senior brother who is good at alchemy.
He traded many pills from the other party.
Among them are drugs specifically designed to treat mental illness and physical alienation.
In order to obtain more inheritance related to the Wanqi Sect, he actively devoted himself to the healing of the villagers.
He turned those elixirs into potions and gave them to countless villagers, temporarily suppressing their illnesses.
But there is no complete cure.
In the process of searching for the cause, he got acquainted with the descendants of the remaining disciples of the Wanqi Sect.
And learned about the seal from the other party.
In the end, according to the messages of their ancestors, they entered the secret realm and prepared to solve the source of the disaster.
However, they never expected that the Saturnalia would be far more powerful than they expected.
Even if it has been sealed for a hundred years, the powerhouses that were once comparable to the mage realm are still not something that these latecomers can easily deal with.
The specific battle process is not recorded in the book, but it is said that Zhang Yingbao was seriously injured and died not long after.
In order not to waste his life in vain, he cast a secret technique, forcibly used himself as the carrier of the seal, incorporated the sealing array into his body, and added a layer of seal to the god of agriculture again.
It was his sacrifice that made the plague of facial sores in the village completely disappear. ”
But time is always merciless, even if Zhang Yingbao saves an entire village.
Even the villagers were all very grateful to him.
As time goes by, they will slowly forget about him.
Especially the descendants of the Ten Thousand Instruments Sect who visited the secret realm with Zhang Yingbao back then.
They were also hit hard in the secret realm, and they all died within a few years of coming out.
Only a few notes and relics that were not valued by future generations were left behind.
Later, due to the surrounding geological disasters, the village moved further away.
The remnants of the original ruins have gradually turned into wilderness, and there are no traces of human activity.
Many years passed like this, until that day, three young people accidentally broke into the secret realm.
And then it became the starting point of the catastrophe. ”
The clay man's voice slowly fell, and the silence around him returned.
Song Ruyuan and the others still had a slight look of surprise on their faces.
For a long time, my mind was immersed in the history that had happened.
They never imagined that this small seal would involve such a complicated past.
If it weren't for the clay figurines being uncovered on the spot now, they might not have been able to understand the truth until the end.
Through the clay figurine's narration, many of the previous questions have been answered.
Including the dissonances in the previous Saturnalia self-presentation, they have also been corrected to a considerable extent.
But when you think about those details, more questions arise.
For example, what were those mages of the Ten Thousand Weapons Sect busy with back then?
Even for behemoths such as the Ten Thousand Weapons Sect, the death of the Dao Seed was a major event that could not be ignored.
But the four mages are actually responsible for this, so what is it?
And they left and never returned.
Under normal circumstances, even if someone brings a letter to two disciples, it is not a difficult task.
But there was no contact after that.
Moreover, those two disciples can also return to the sect and re-seek a way to solve the seal.
But in the end, they took root and multiplied near the seal, could it be that the hearts of the children of the Great Sect were only to this extent?
In addition, the secret place where the god of agriculture was sealed is also of particular interest.
According to the remarks of the two parties, this secret realm should be a secret realm to which the Ten Thousand Weapons Sect belongs, and it has even been transformed by the powerhouses of the opposing sect, and even the internal rules have undergone special changes.
It stands to reason that this kind of secret realm can be used as the foundation of the entire sect.
As a result, they said they would give up.
It only exists as a seal.
What's going on here?
Everyone vaguely sensed that the abandonment of the secret realm was related to the heavy responsibility shouldered by the four mages.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have sealed Saturnalia here so coincidentally.
It's just that the reason for this is not something they can know.
Even if you ask the clay figurines, you may not be able to know the results.
Everyone was thinking about it, and at this time, the god of agriculture, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly looked at Su Mo and said:
"I know that whatever I say now seems to you to be nothing more than the quibbles of the evil gods.
So I'm too lazy to do those things that are false and wrongful, so let's start from a more practical and mature perspective? ”
"How?"
Su Mo looked at the god of agriculture with a vicissitudes of expression and asked with interest.
The god of agriculture looked stunned and said solemnly:
"I can give you the artifact that was fused back then.
In return, you have to promise to spare me on the spot.
What do you think of this deal? ”
