Chapter 1: Chosen by the Temple God

Next Chapter

I was chosen as an offering by the temple gods.

I heard my grandmother say that the Qingming Festival in the year when I was born was the day when the village worshiped the temple god, and everyone in the village gathered around the temple god.

On that day、I don't know what happened, the temple was on fire overnight。

The fire was fierce, and many people were trapped in the temple and couldn't escape, including my mother, who was about to give birth.

Those who escaped carried water and poured it on, but the fire was like an evil fire, and the water became more and more vigorous, and many people were burned.

After the person was burned to death, countless snakes came out of the corpse and gathered around my mother.

My mother was a cowardly woman, and she was frightened and broke her water and gave birth to me in the midst of a fire and a swarm of snakes.

When I was born, I was born with a strange phenomenon, the snakes retreated, and on a sunny day, it rained blood, extinguishing the fire of the temple and saving the trapped villagers.

The fortune teller said that I was taken by the temple god, and the temple god was willing to come to the rescue.

Since then, people in the village have been saying that I was chosen as a sacrifice by the temple god, and when I grow up, I will sacrifice to him as a daughter-in-law.

And this biography is a full eighteen years.

When I was eighteen years old, a snake plague suddenly befell our village.

Snakes and insects are densely packed, running rampant on the side of the road in the fields, scaring few villagers who dare to go out for fear of being bitten.

I sat under the eaves, helping my grandmother divide the male yellow powder, while listening to her talk about someone being bitten by a snake today," ...... Your Uncle Qing was bitten by a snake this morning, and I'll come back after dark after a while. Before you go to bed, don't forget to sprinkle realgar in the house. ”

Since the beginning of this snake plague, more than a dozen people have been bitten by snakes.

I answered and told my grandmother to pay attention to safety.

After my grandmother left, I picked up the snake repellent powder on the side. When I turned around and was about to go back to the house, a shuttle suddenly sounded in my ears.

What was that?!

When I looked back, I caught a glimpse of a piebald snake with a child's arm on the manhole cover, and I was immediately startled.

During the snake plague, my grandmother would sprinkle realgar all over the yard every day to prevent snakes from crawling in.

But this snake ......

How did you crawl in?

Just when I was puzzled, something even stranger happened.

The spotted snake on the manhole cover suddenly raised its head, spit out a letter, and stared at me with cold eyes, and screamed at me hoarsely.

"Hiss, Tan Jing, you're going to die soon, hiss......"

Hearing this, my blood clotted all over my body, and I looked at it in amazement.

Just now......

How can this snake talk?!

I felt a chill in my heart, and I ran into the house quickly, locked the doors and windows, and sprinkled realgar powder in the crevices everywhere to prevent snakes from getting in.

When all this was done, my heart calmed down a little bit, and I went back to the house and lay down.

The fan was blowing, and I was bored reading the magazine.

After a few glances, my eyelids began to fight, and my consciousness gradually became confused.

In the midst of all of a sudden, a thick fishy smell penetrated my nostrils and made my brain ache.

I slowly opened my eyes to see what it was.

But when I opened my eyes, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.

In the darkness, the sound of the wind mixed with hissing gave me goosebumps.

I rubbed my arms together and stood there defensively, not daring to move.

Suddenly!

Two eerie green lights lit up in the darkness!

Then, a bucket-thick snake with red and white spots swam in the distance and slowly swam towards me.

My pupils dilated, and I was so frightened that I was in a cold sweat.

I turned around and tried to run away, but it was as if I was frozen by something, and I couldn't move up and down, so I could only watch as it swam up to me and entangled me with the body of a snake.

"Hundreds of years! I've been waiting for you for hundreds of years...... Finally this day has come! ”

I was so entangled in it that I couldn't breathe, and I watched with a confused gaze as it opened its huge mouth to devour me.

Finished......

Just when I thought I was going to die in the belly of the snake, a golden light accompanied by a murmuring spell struck the snake that was entwining me.

The snake's grim eyes looked at me, then let me go with a cold sneer, and I disappeared into the darkness before me.

After I was saved, I clutched my chest and gasped for breath as I searched for the man who was chanting the mantra.

If it weren't for him, I would have died in the belly of a snake.

I shouted several times in the dark, but I didn't get a response.

Was everything just now an illusion?

Just as I was wondering, the darkness flickered before me.

Then, my grandmother's anxious voice came from far to near, "Jingjing! Jingjing! Where are you?! ”
