1 Sixty-Seven Clay Sculptures, Gods
"Who did this?"
As soon as the scholar stepped out of the small cabin in the painting boat, he was shivered by the sudden temperature outside.
In this white mist, he only saw the captain who had just held the boat kneeling on the bow of the boat, and at this time he was chattering, muttering something, and his face was excited.
Not far from the ship, on the water, stood a man dressed in black.
The scholar rubbed his eyes and walked forward.
Holding the side of the boat with both hands, he hooked his head out of the boat.
Knot... It's frozen...
With the muttering in his mouth, the scholar's pupils dilated to the extreme in an instant.
Dressed in black... The martial arts freeze the surface of the lake... Stand still in front of the boat you're on...
Han autumnal equinox!
He was the man in black who had just seen him standing on the ice.
......
Han Qiufen walked slowly on the rivers and lakes with his hands on his back, and he was in a very happy mood at this moment.
The energy that has been churning in his body for so long has finally been poured out by him little by little, and it is really great that he no longer has to worry about whether it will cause trouble to the county.
Along the road,
After someone saw the picture of this step frozen for ten miles, they screamed and howled,
When someone saw the scene of this frozen lake, they trembled,
There are also people who kneel down when they see the reality of this living god.
But for Han Qiufen, he only saw two words along the way,
Awe.
This... Is it the feeling of an immortal?
Looking at the strangely dressed man in front of him who kept kneeling and kowtowing, and looking at the hair on his head that had become trembling because of swaying up and down, Han Qiufen felt a little trance in front of him...
Ten years ago...
"The lord of the land, please be merciful and open your eyes! There is no rain in the sky, and the crops in the field are dead..."
"Yes, be merciful!"
"Please, let it rain!"
There were more than a dozen people kneeling in the dilapidated land temple at this time, looking at the clothes and shoes on their feet, and there were all kinds of people in this group, including ordinary people in Guobei County, farmers who made a living from farming, and dealers who did some small business.
At this time, these people in the temple are kowtowing like pounding garlic, eager for the gods to rain and dew.
Except for two people...
Dazai, who was still dressed in white, was sitting on the steps outside the door as usual.
The sunshine that made the people suffer was shining on his face at this time, but the difference between him and the people inside was that he was enjoying it with a lazy face.
"Master, the Lord of the Land will definitely manifest himself!"
Just now I was holding the door frame, and the little autumn equinox that was looking inside with my little head was bare suddenly turned back, and after a while, I came to Dazai's side, and as soon as I sat down, I couldn't wait to ask.
Lazily squinting, Dazai turned his face slightly, glanced at the chaotic crowd in the Land Temple, and turned his head.
"They knelt to the wrong person. “
"But that's the land lord, the land god of our Guobei County. “
"Gods?"
Dazai couldn't help but smile when he saw the child next to him nod solemnly.
"Then look closely..."
As soon as the words fell, Dazai stood up.
Carrying his hands on his back, his back straight, his black hair, tied up by a straw rope, was hanging loosely on his shoulders and behind him.
Han Qiufen's eyes watched Dazai-sama's movements motionlessly.
Sound... Crackling
Dazai's hand behind him shook slightly, intentionally or unintentionally, and at some point, a few small lightning bolts of dark blue light flashed around his fingers.
hum
Looking down at the little autumn equinox's slightly open, unclosed mouth, the corners of Dazai's mouth hooked.
Zila... Boom!!!
With a twist of his palm, Dazai's hand jerked out from behind him, and he quickly swept it into the sky from the bottom up.
The lightning was different from what it was just now, it was a dark purple thunderbolt as thick as a finger.
Han Qiufen didn't move, this was the first time he saw Dazai make a move, and the curtain of the sky was reflected in his eyes,
The purple lightning bolt swept out of his hand and immediately rushed towards the sky, first as thick as a python, then longer and thicker, and the scattered power grids around it were also intertwined, and the color became darker and darker, until it was as inky as an ink.
The blazing sky was completely obscured by the electric light in Dazai's hand, and boundless thunder filled the entire sky, making a loud rumbling sound.
The wind swept like a tidal wave, and Dazai's robe and hair behind him were blown high and hunted.
Looking at the wanton thunder in the sky, Dazai's lips opened slightly, and his voice was very soft,
"Fall. “
The thunder that was originally spreading wantonly gathered together in an instant with this word, and then shrunk into one.
The autumnal equinox held its breath, and its eyes unblinked, looking at the thunder that shrunk like an inky halberd.
Boom!!!!!
In less than a breath, the thunder light completely exploded, and the circles of light spread quickly and continuously towards the surroundings, darkening the world and the world.
This time the sound was so loud that the people in the land temple who were still kowtowing and kneeling to pray for rain all felt a tremor in their bodies and the roar in their ears like war drums.
"Thunder !!"
I don't know who shouted, and all the people in the temple were excited, rushing towards the outside of the temple.
"That's ?????"
The expression of joy did not linger on the faces of the group for long, and when they saw the spreading circle of light in the sky, everyone was terrified.
After the aperture spread, the black clouds gathered, and countless dense black and purple thunderbolts were intertwining and flowing in it, occasionally mixed with a few red electric lights.
I don't know who knelt down first,
One, two...... Until these dozen or so ordinary people knelt down.
Everyone's head was buried deep in the crook of their arms, close to the earth, and no one dared to ask the gods to grant their wishes, and they had nothing but deep surrender and prostration.
Dazai, who saw this scene, hooked up a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Tick tick...
The rain fell, but not a single of the people stood up and cheered, their clothes were gradually soaked by the rain, and everyone knelt in the rain, motionless.
Han Qiufen had been sitting on the stone steps watching all this happening in front of him, and he didn't come back to his senses until a palm landed on his head.
Looking up, it was Dazai's face, he had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, his voice sounded close at hand and far away...
"Now,
Do you know what a god is?
The one inside,
It's just a clay sculpture..."
......
Guobei County, Linjiang Lake
Han Qiufen's eyes slowly regained their brightness, looking at the Chichuan Storm Scale who was kneeling on the ground with a look of reverence in front of him, and the scholar staring at the ice with a look of disbelief, he seemed to understand.
"Because... awe
Because... strength
Is this what it feels like to be an immortal?
Master...
I get it. “
