At first, Roland thought this was just his illusion.
But as the sacrifice continued, the energy above their heads became more and more obvious.
What started as a tiny energy ball turned into an energy ball as big as a basketball.
Roland stayed among the tribesmen, quietly feeling the energy fluctuations coming from above, and occasionally looking up.
But nothing could be seen, only the curling smoke of candles floating slowly on the old roof beams, and then slowly disappearing.
Luo's father was nearby. He noticed that his son kept looking up at the sky, and he also looked for a while, but he didn't find anything strange, so he asked: "What are you looking at? Is there gold on it?"
"There is a big spider." Roland lied casually.
At this time, the energy was still growing slowly, and it was gradually exuding a strange energy, gradually attracting Roland's nerves and emotions.
Unknowingly, Roland began to feel a little thirsty, and the energy above was like a stream of sweet spring water.
Roland resisted his desire and forced himself not to perceive it.
Who knows what that thing is, what if it is poisonous
Even if you want to absorb it, you have to find an opportunity when there are few people.
The sacrifice was still going on, because it was a simplified version of the sacrifice, so within three hours, the fourth uncle had completed the process.
In front of the altar with densely packed spiritual tablets, the Fourth Uncle sang the final soul-returning mantra in a sharp but unique sacrificial tune, and then announced the end of the sacrificial ceremony.
More than sixty people all breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a simplified version of the sacrifice ceremony, it still took nearly three hours. Most people's feet were numb from standing.
People talked to each other and left the ancestral hall, but Roland did not leave. He asked his parents to go to the village first.
According to the custom here, after the sacrifice, no one can leave. They must at least have a dinner together before breaking up.
And he himself stayed in the ancestral hall, continuing to sense the strange energy group.
His body's hunger and thirst became more and more obvious, and he couldn't help but take out the small bottle of mineral water he carried in his trouser pocket and drink it all in one gulp.
But it had absolutely no effect.
It's just that he can restrain this desire with self-control.
There were fewer and fewer people in the ancestral hall, and finally only Roland was left. There were two or three children who wanted to stay and play, but then they ran away.
After all, this is an old ancestral hall, and it is located in a remote area. It is very quiet, and it will look a bit eerie when there are no people around.
As the people walked away one by one, the energy ball above the roof beam began to slow down slowly, much faster than when it was formed.
Roland frowned. If this thing disappeared, would it have to wait until the next sacrifice to reappear? Then it would have to wait at least another year.
He looked around and looked for a bamboo ladder used to maintain the ancestral hall. It was a very high bamboo ladder that was usually used to go directly to the roof.
Roland walked over and picked up the bamboo ladder.
When he first started carrying it, Roland thought it would be quite heavy, but he didn't expect that he could easily lift the bamboo ladder up. Then he walked to the bottom of the roof, erected the bamboo ladder, and placed it on the beam.
At this moment, Roland felt that the energy ball on the roof beam had become only half of its previous size.
He quickly climbed up the ladder and sat on the beam.
The old house is very big, and the beams are naturally very thick. Let alone an adult, even five or six more people can sit on it without any problem.
In Roland's perception, the energy ball was about half a meter in front of him.
But now he can't see the ball of energy at all. There is nothing special in his sight, he can only perceive it.
The energy ball was shrinking little by little, and soon it was only the size of a table tennis ball.
At this time, the inexplicable hunger and thirst in Roland's body was much relieved. He sat quietly and did not move rashly.
After a while, the energy ball became only the size of a little finger, and its frequency gradually became unstable, with a feeling that it would break at any time.
it's time.
Roland licked his lips and stretched out his hand.
He was afraid that this thing would be harmful before, so he never messed with it.
But now this thing is less than one percent of its original size, and the structure seems to be disintegrating, and will disappear if we don't take action.
Roland knew that many things were highly toxic, but regardless of the dose or the mild toxicity, it was all a rogue practice.
He didn't know if the current energy ball as big as his little finger was harmful to him, but he at least understood that it was definitely much safer than when it was the size of a basketball.
Stretch out your hand and grab an invisible object directly in the air.
It was indeed invisible, and the outstretched hand grasped nothing.
But in his perception, Roland knew that he had caught this thing.
Very contradictory feeling.
Before he could be surprised or surprised, the moment he grabbed the energy ball, it shattered.
It turned into many fragments and stuck into Roland's palm, then turned into streams of air and blended into his flesh and blood.
Roland felt waves of cold air flowing down his right hand and spreading to his limbs and bones at an extremely fast speed.
It's really cold.
He shook his head. Apart from the coolness, there seemed to be nothing strange about him.
Roland climbed down the bamboo ladder from the beam several meters high, and then put the bamboo ladder back into the corner.
He walked out of the ancestral hall and was thinking about what that thing was when he suddenly felt that his feet were a little weak. If he walked a few more steps, he would feel like he couldn't even use the strength.
His legs began to tremble weakly, and he quickly sat down on the steps of the ancestral hall.
He touched his forehead and his temperature was normal.
I touched my chest again, my heartbeat was a little fast, and then I took a breath, and I felt a little restless.
That thing couldn't be poisonous... Roland smiled bitterly. At this time, he saw the world begin to spin, as if he was drunk, or had wind in his head, and was nauseated by the cold wind.
The world is spinning, top-heavy.
Let me go, is it really poisonous
Roland smiled helplessly. He was already more cautious, and waited until the thing became the smallest, or even about to disappear, before grabbing it in his hand.
But I didn't expect it, and it still didn't work.
At this time, a child walked in front. Although the sky and the earth were spinning in his field of vision, Roland could still recognize that this was one of his nephews. He quickly called the child's nickname: "Deshui, go and get me two Come over with a big bottle of mineral water, I’m a little nauseous.”
When poisoned, the easiest way to save yourself is to drink more water.
The little boy was stunned for a moment, then immediately responded and ran towards the village.
The surrounding scenery was spinning faster and faster, and Roland took out his mobile phone with difficulty from his trouser pocket... He wanted to make an emergency call, but suddenly stars appeared in front of his eyes, and then he fell into darkness.
Not knowing how long it took, Roland opened his eyes.
White ceiling and ceiling fan.
Roland looked around again, seeing iron frame beds, white beds, and a strong smell of disinfectant.
Ah... I ended up in the hospital again.
Roland smiled bitterly and was about to sit up when Luo's mother came in from outside. When she saw Roland woke up, she came over immediately and said angrily: "Don't get up yet, lie down and lie down."
Luo's mother's expression was a bit fierce, but more of a reassuring one.
Roland looked around again and found that he was the only patient in the entire ward, and he had an intravenous drip on his arm.
"What's wrong with me?"
"You scared me to death." Luo's mother's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes: "When we were in the village, De Shui ran over screaming and said that you had passed out. Then we ran over and found you sleeping at the door of the ancestral hall. Why did you scream? You didn't wake up. Then an ambulance was called and you were sent to the hospital. After the doctor examined you, he also did a blood test and found nothing wrong. He said your symptoms were very similar to severe oxygen intoxication and put you on an intravenous drip directly. Just take some time off and it’ll be fine.”
Drunken oxygen? Low altitude sickness
Roland's eyes widened: "I didn't go to Mount Everest and then come back down. How could I be drunk on oxygen?"
"That's what we said too." Mother Luo snorted: "But the doctors come and check, and even with this symptom, there is nothing we can do."
Roland was speechless.
At this time, Luo's father and a man in a white coat walked in at the same time.
The doctor showed no expression. He shined a flashlight into Roland's pupils, looked at his tongue, then used a portable electronic thermometer to check Roland's temperature, and then said, "It seems nothing is wrong. Go back." , staying here in the hospital will only cost more medical expenses."
Luo's mother said with some worry: "Doctor, why don't you let him stay in the hospital for one more night? This disease is too strange."
"I really can't find any serious illness. It's probably just oxygen. Just rest for a few days and eat more light food. If you stay here, you're just wasting medical resources." The doctor left after he finished speaking.
There was no other way, so Roland had no choice but to go through the discharge procedures with his family.
I didn't feel anything while lying on my bed, but as soon as I started, I felt weak all over my body and had mild dizziness.
When he got home, it was already past blackjack. Roland drank a bowl of rice porridge, dragged his somewhat weak body, and climbed into the game cabin.
Soon he fell asleep and entered the game.
In the game, he felt that his body was extremely relaxed and comfortable, and was not affected by the frail body in reality at all.
"Sure enough, the soul is not affected by the body?" Roland moved his body and muttered to himself.
Then he discovered that there was a personal information in the guild system. When he opened it, he found that someone else in F6 was @him.
Shu Ke: I saw the girl Li Lin mentioned, her name is Xisha, right? She’s really good.
Brazil: I also think it’s good. She looks like a good wife in the future. The most amazing thing is that when she saw Shuke, she actually behaved normally. Will not become a nymphomaniac.
Hussere: Bai Bai has a good temperament, no worse than Shuke’s wife.
Raphael: Work hard, Roland, and try to let us drink your wedding wine within a year.
Did these guys go to the knife arts studio in the afternoon? Roland scratched his head and replied casually in the guild chat system.
Roland: If people don’t like me, don’t mess around with me.
Then he closed the system guild chat interface and called Vivian: "I will go to Esnes City in a while. I will trouble you to manage the magic tower and manor on your behalf."
