Volume 1 The World in the Mirror Chapter 8 Martyrdom
"Lao Huang!" Da Zhu and the others all shouted in heartbreak, thinking that he could rush up and inflict a fatal blow on the poisoned beast, but he didn't expect that although the beast was cut off on the head by him, although it was not lightly injured, and the blood of the beast was left from the head, but it did not die, but with a sharp claw, Lao Huang's head was cut off like a mowing grass.
Although many of the women and children hiding in the temple were crying in horror, the movement outside could still be heard, and the roars of the fathers from time to time at that time indicated that the situation was extremely bad, and some had even died. When he heard someone shouting "Lao Huang", Huang Datou, who was hiding in the sacrificial temple, finally couldn't help it, the family affection that blood was thicker than water made him unable to continue to stay, and he ran outside with his legs, Jiang Yu and the others didn't have time to pull him, so they could only run outside.
The old people outside could no longer keep their composure, and decided to take a desperate gamble, and if they failed, they would have to resign themselves to fate. They put the rusty bells, broken drums, and rotten gongs in their hands, grabbed the long sticks, and began to beat them. These ancient artifacts are treasures handed down from ancestors, and they are stored in the dark on weekdays, and they can't be ugly until the critical moment.
"Start beating the ancient artifact!" the old village chief gave an order, and the extremely old people all waved the wooden sticks in their hands vigorously, or struck the bell, or beat the drum, or beat the gong, and a noisy sound began to sound. At first hearing, there is nothing unusual, but I feel a little noisy, but if you listen carefully, there is a sound of vicissitudes coming from it, some sluggish, some tragic, and some open-minded, all kinds of music theory in the world are in it. The fierce beast didn't care when it heard this sound, and tore at the other strong men, it was fierce, and it was aroused by the blood of human beings.
The old people are very old, but the percussion is really calm and powerful, and the sound gradually becomes urgent, like a golden sound and jade vibration, and like a thousand troops dispatching, the sound is magnificent and solemn, which makes people feel shocked. This kind of sound can't even bear the big men in the village, let alone the fierce beast whose wisdom has not yet been opened, as if there is an invisible shackle restricting it, making it panic, the whole beast stands tall, its face is hideous, as if it has entered a demon, and it jumps like thunder in place.
"Dazhu, Tie Qiang, don't you go up and kill the killer!" the old village chief shouted violently, but he didn't dare to slack off when he struck the bell, for fear that if this fierce beast came back to his senses, no one would be able to control it. The big pillar and a few strong men who were already ready to go up immediately went up to trip the fierce beast, Tie Qiang and Wu Shi immediately splashed the poisonous powder and venom in their hands on the fierce beast, and the effect of using it on the fierce beast was better when they were unconscious, and several other big men tied the big iron chain with thick wrists to the fierce beast, and the binding was extremely solid.
"Immediately take the tripod and make a fire, and boil this evil beast with poison water, otherwise I am afraid it will be difficult to kill!" The old village chief ordered the subdued beast to be put in an iron cage just in case, and on the other hand, he ordered everyone to move out the big ding to burn the poison potion, and to cook the beast to death with the tripod to comfort the dead villagers in the spirit of the sky.
"Father!" After the battle, Huang Datou and other teenagers ran out, Huang Datou soon found his father's familiar figure in a group of corpses, but the old Huang's death was really tragic, the head had already been bitten by the fierce beast and did not know where it was scattered, the grief-stricken Huang Datou lay in front of his father and cried miserably, today is simply a catastrophe for Shicun, more than 20 people died, and the hunting brigade in the village also lost four good hands, three were seriously injured, and it took a long time to recuperate.
One after another, everyone else came out of the temple, saw a number of headless corpses in the village, couldn't help but cry with their heads, and the ignorant children also cried, the people in the village have always been harmonious, usually live together like relatives, and are not unfamiliar with real relatives.
When the old people were grieving, they still endured the command of the aftermath, the women of the village and some strong men went to look for the body, and placed the dead, and several big men carried the big ding out and immediately lit a fire, which poured most of the water into it, and poured the poison that was usually used for hunting into it without hesitation. Even for the sake of safety, the women sprinkled some rat poison, lime, and sulfur into it, and this fierce beast exterminated the conscience, almost exterminating the whole village, and the villagers hated it to the core, and hated to cut it with a thousand knives, but could not inflict fatal damage on its body, so they could only kill it in this way.
The water in the ding quickly boiled, several big men raised the iron cage, and threw the dying beast into the big ding, the beast that had no movement seemed to feel the danger, and immediately began to struggle to the death, several big men did not stand firm, were overturned, seeing that the beast was about to escape from the big ding, a roar came, a young figure jumped up from the side, but it was the yellow head with red eyes, he stared very closely next to him, the beast rioted as soon as he jumped to the mouth of the ding, raised his foot and kicked the head of the beast. Huang Datou is the worst in the junior qualifications, but now the strength is also the strongest, a foot down the strength of more than 100 catties, only to hear a muffled sound, the fierce beast hit the wall of the Ding, the big men who reacted hurriedly sealed the mouth of the Dingkou, for fear that it would struggle out.
The old village chief is still not at ease, looking at the originally placed extremely stable Dading in the impact of the beast shook a little, immediately ordered people to wrap a few circles of iron ropes outside, and piled up boulders next to the Dading, a few strong men watched strictly on the side, as time passed, the movement in the Ding slowly decreased, I think that the beast has been killed, but in order to be foolproof, the exhausted villagers increased the fire and burned for an hour, after opening the Dading, it was found that the fierce beast inside had already been killed for a long time, the beast was covered with poison corrosion wounds, and the body was touched casually, it was a puddle of meat mud。 After the death of the fierce beast, there is no essence to protect the body, and the whole beast body is no longer indestructible.
Although the revenge was avenged, no one in the village had a smile, and it would take a long time for the scars to be smoothed out. The old village chief told the children to rest first, and the big man and the women pretended to be corpses, and the body of the fierce beast was thrown away a few miles outside the village like a hoodoo. Originally, the stronger the beast was on weekdays, the more precious its body became, but at this time, the people in the village were extremely disgusted with this beast, and they wanted to break the bones and scatter ashes. But now there is no leisure time, and there are many things to deal with, so I have to throw the beast away from the village first.
Several teenagers comforted each other and prepared to say goodbye to rest, and the old men and strong men were also ready to deal with the aftermath, but without warning, an extremely sharp beast roar came again, and everyone quickly saw clearly in the slightly white morning, this is the same species as the beast that has just died, but this beast is one foot eight feet high, at least half larger than the beast killed not long ago, and it stands up like a small tower, and the strength of the beast that has just died is much stronger. The most calm old village chief was in a sea of bitterness at this moment, and the whole person lost his mind for a short time, and muttered: "Today, is the sky going to kill my stone village?"
