Chapter 1 The Death Penalty of God's Abandoned Son
The black iron clouds are deafening, and the green hooves are howling and shaking the people.
The purple horse thunder surged to the sky, and the silver snow swept the blue sky.
The blue claw flame danced Kunque and burned the world to the peace.
This is a verse that has been passed down since ancient times.
The wilderness of Kamisawa. It is not known why the people of the continent are so named, but there is only one legend that there were gods in ancient times, many gods. And God is also an absolute faith.
The mainland is still martial, and the extreme way of chasing martial arts. Although there is no god, there are many strong people who are like gods, and this world is a world where strong people live.
Perhaps because Kamisawa can better reflect people's reverence for the gods, it is called Kamisawa no Ye in various documents.
But it also has a name, which is the Divine Pattern Continent.
The Divine Pattern Continent has four domains, the Extreme East Wind Domain, the Extreme West Thunder Domain, the Extreme South Fire Domain, and the Extreme North Ice Domain.
There are Jiuguo, Zijin, Tianxuan, Miaorao, Yanqiu, Houtu, Fenglai, Raymond, Yandu and Xuelan.
The Nine Kingdoms are the most powerful with Fenglai on the edge of the Wind Domain, Raymond on the edge of the Thunder Domain, Yandu on the edge of the Fire Domain, and Xuelan on the edge of the Ice Domain.
The four kingdoms are respectively sitting on the four domains, and they have four major families.
The Feng family, the Lei family, the Yan family, the Xue family. It is the four most powerful families in the Divine Pattern Continent, restricting each other and dividing the world.
And the circulating verses are faintly describing the four major families, which shows their status and influence on the mainland.
A small town in Manshan County, the capital of Zijin Kingdom, Wushan Town.
The town is surrounded by mountains, and in the midst of the mountains, the town is attached to a large mountain, and there is a black peak, from which the town of Wushan is born.
There is a winding trail in the mountains, the trail is quiet, winding up, like a long dragon.
It was night, but on the narrow back of the long dragon, a column of people was holding torches and pulling a long procession slowly towards the mountain.
A mule was at the front, with two bells hanging from its neck, which rattled with the movement of its hooves.
The mule pulls a wooden cart, but the cart is held up by ropes with a cross that crosses horizontally and vertically.
At the end, a scalper pulls a wooden instrument, the instrument has six wooden wheels, and the wood above is combined into an elevated frame, on which there are several meters of logs, and one end of the log is connected to a long wooden bucket of more than one meter.
It looks like a simple catapult.
Tied to the cross was a young man, eleven or twelve years old, dressed in tatters and unkempt, unable to see what he was.
On both sides of the cart stood four old men, coarse linen shirts, and their beards were white.
From time to time, he looked at the tied boy, his face was heavy.
Behind them were the townspeople, bustling with the occasional whisper.
"Did you hear that this kid was able to get to the edge of the cliff, Sister-in-law Liu's child said. ”
"It's a god-cursed place, so it's no wonder that the four elders hurriedly summoned us. ”
"Yes, it doesn't confirm the statement of the outcast of God twelve years ago, and only the outcast of God can step into the place cursed by God!"
"You say it's strange, when Yucheng and his family came to our town, his wife had a big belly and gave birth in the third year."
"It's not like it's something, this must be a disaster, or cursed by a great god!"
"He should have been executed twelve years ago, but he couldn't be inscribed with a divine crest, and the gods would not forgive his existence!"
"It's not that Yucheng was kind to the town at the beginning, the elders have always been worried. ”
"Didn't Yucheng become a waste later, he was arrested and conscripted into the army, I don't know if he is dead or alive!"
"Now there is chaos outside, and in recent years, the wind and rain have not been smooth, it must be the outcast of this god who has caused trouble. ”
......
There is a cliff at the end of the trail, facing Mt. Osan Mountain.
There is a clearing at the edge of the cliff, and the strange thing is that the clearing is half dark, without a single grass or tree, and an arc is drawn along the edge of the cliff, which is in sharp contrast to the blue color outside the arc.
The group had reached this point, and the torches in their hands were scattered, and they formed a line in front of the open space beyond the arc.
The mule was driven away by a man and turned around, and the cart was unloaded so that the boy on the cross was facing the crowd.
The cross under the full moon is a bit clear.
An elder stepped forward, his face solemn, he was the great elder of the town.
"Are you guilty?!" the voice was old and full of majesty.
"I'm not guilty!" the young man's dirty little face couldn't tell the difference, but the eyes were full of stubbornness.
"Failing to engrave the divine tattoo is a great sin! It is a felony of blasphemy!" the Great Elder looked very excited, pointing at the young man's nose with a fierce voice.
"God, god, hehe" A sneer flashed in the young man's eyes.
"Smack!" an egg smashed into the boy's face. Immediately afterwards, rotten vegetable leaves, mud, flew out of the hands of the villagers and smashed into the already dirty teenager's body and face.
"Hmph!" the Great Elder was very angry, and looked at the young man with wide eyes.
Hurriedly clasped his hands together, looked at the bright moon, and said with a pious voice, "Great God, please forgive him for his disrespect and punish him for his sins!"
"When you were born, you were disgusted by the Divine Pattern Stone and couldn't open the Divine Pattern, and now you know that you can set foot in this place where no one has ever been able to get close to half a point of divine curse for generations, and say that you are not guilty?!" The Second Elder beside the Great Elder was also angry, and his voice was full of anger.
"If I had known you could enter here, I would have thrown you off the cliff twelve years ago and let the great gods punish you!" was another elder's voice. Look around the cross and look at the cliff behind it.
"This is God's will, and God is making it clear that this God-cursed land is the destination of you, God's outcast!" another elder spoke.
"Today, I will execute you on behalf of the great God in accordance with God's will!" said the Great Elder with a sonorous voice, as if he were God.
"Kill him, kill him, kill him!" the villagers roared and scrambled to smash dirt at the boy, as if to show their devotion to God.
The boy was covered with eggs, mud, and leaves, and he was no longer human. It's just that the eyes staring at the crowd shine brightly in the night.
The Great Elder flicked his sleeves, and a gurgling sound came from behind, and several villagers pushed the simple catapult up.
They untied the boy from the cross and tied the boy's hands and feet with thick ropes. The body is also firmly wrapped around, and the five flowers are tied into a zongzi.
Then the two of them worked together to stuff the "zongzi" into the long wooden bucket of the catapult.
There was no struggle, no screaming, the teenager was surprisingly calm, calm and scary.
His name was Yuxia, and as a few 'old stubborns' said, he was born unable to open his lines and was given the name of "God's Abandoned Son".
What is Kaiwen? Kaiwen is a custom, or regulation, of the Divine Pattern Continent. It is also called engraving.
It is an indispensable event in the Divine Pattern Continent.
On the day of the newborn's birth, the elder will place his palm on the stone in front of the ancestral hall or other place dedicated to the opening of the pattern, and the elder will place his palm on the stone to open the pattern.
The deity crest is a symbol of the identity of the inhabitants of the mainland, and people regard it as a gift from the gods.
Throughout the ages, there has been no precedent for not being able to open the grain.
And his rain is this precedent, so he was regarded as a bad thing by the villagers, saying that he was a man cursed by the gods, and he was always subjected to white eyes and spit.
Half a year ago, my father was arrested and sent to the army, and my mother was also taken away, and she became a beggar under the rain.
In the past, his parents were fine, but now he is alone, and the villagers' dislike of him has intensified.
Every time he is recognized when he is begging, he can only get a bunch of spittle.
Today I went to the town to beg for food, but I was chased by a few half-grown children and ran to the top of this cliff.
This cliff is very strange, no one can step on the arc for half a minute, as if it was blocked by something, it was like this a long time ago.
The ominous land, cursed by the gods, set up a barrier to protect his people, which is also a saying handed down from the ancestors.
Seeing that they could actually enter the dark semicircle under the rain, several children ran away in panic.
This was learned by the elders of the town, and the elders felt that this was a directive from God to them, and they wanted to punish this person who had blasphemed the gods without a god tattoo, so they gathered the villagers to have the current scene.
The white eyes have endured, and this kind of scene has already been accepted by the rain. Death, for him, is a relief.
The catapult was pushed by several people towards the edge of the cliff, and the villagers also followed it slowly, with a trace of excitement in their eyes, devouring light, very scary.
The firelight hit the face, and it was noticeably a little hideous.
The catapult stopped at the edge of the arc.
The four elders bowed with their palms together, "Honorable God, pour out the rich anointing upon us from your throne on high and put a crown of thorns on us. But this sinner who has insulted your grace has appeared, and by your will your people have brought this sinner, take this sinner who blasphemes you and return to the abyss of your curse!
"May God bless us," the villagers behind him also bowed down and prayed in unison.
Then, the Great Elder gave the order, "Execution!"
"Bang!" one pulled down the catapult's switch.
"Chirp~" The rain was thrown, and it really passed through the invisible barrier, and crossed the clear line without half an obstacle.
The body drew an arc, and then fell straight into the abyss under the cliff.
The pitch black cliff is bottomless. Like a monster with a terrifying mouth.
......
"Boom... Finally waiting for you."
In the endless abyss, strange laughter floats...
