When the villagers sent their son and daughter-in-law to sacrifice, the old man decided to endure it, because the family still had a grandson to support, which was also the only last wish left by his son before he left... As long as the child can grow up healthily, they can do whatever they want, even if they go to Death is fine, but the god hidden in Meishan is not satisfied with the status quo, it still wants more sacrifices.
That god doesn't care what happens to the people in Meishan Village, it just wants to use some kind of cruel sacrifice method to revive itself in this world.
But under such high pressure... the spiritual palace in the old man's heart completely collapsed, at least that's what he said, and everything he did violated his previous creeds.
"I never thought of harming anyone."
The old man said, but there was no trace of guilt on his face, only a kind of bitter helplessness.
"But they all want my grandson to die... You don't know how happy they were when they chose my grandson... As long as my grandson goes as a sacrifice... Their children don't have to die..."
"I once wanted to lead them to rebel... but no one would listen to me..."
Speaking of this, the old man lost his voice, and his mood was extremely depressed. He smoked a cigarette for a long time and didn't speak.
Everyone looked at each other for a while, not knowing what to say.
Is the old man ruthless
ruthless.
Although I don't know how he did all of this... But he did bury the entire Meishan Village with his own hands. Except for himself and his grandson, everyone else died at his hands and became sacrifices to that god.
but if…
If everyone put themselves in his position and looked at this matter from his perspective, what would everyone's choices be like
It is unknown how others will choose. As far as Chen Xian is concerned, if someone wants to use Muhe or Lu Yisheng as a sacrifice, then he will definitely turn his face without saying a word. The old man made the same choice.
So at this time, Chen Xian was able to understand the old man's choice, and even had a feeling of empathy.
"How did you kill so many people in one go?" Chen Xian asked curiously.
Since the entire Meishan Village has changed under the leadership of the "God", everyone's strength should be at the same level. Even if there are strong and weak, the strong should be young and middle-aged.
When the old man did it, the young and middle-aged people in the village had already become sacrifices to the gods, and those who stayed in the village were either old people or children... not to mention the priest.
A priest who can communicate with "God" is definitely not easy.
"Every time we go to the mountain to offer sacrifices to that god, the priest will give us some herbs, this is it..." the old man said, and took out a few red things that looked like plant roots from his pocket, "he asked us to eat it, saying If you eat it, you will see God, that is a lie!"
Taking a piece of herbal medicine from the old man, Chen Xian went up to smell it, but there was no special smell, only a faint smell of traditional Chinese medicine.
"What will happen if you eat it?" Chen Xian asked curiously.
"Take a nap." The old man smiled, looked at the herbs in his hand and said, "We don't need to sleep, and we never feel sleepy, but after taking these herbs, we will fall asleep soon, at least three Around the hour... the day I did it was the day before they were going to sacrifice my grandson."
"So... you did it while they were asleep?" Chen Xian asked.
"Yes." The old man nodded, as if recalling the events of that day, his eyes became complicated, "Every ritual is very formal, not only we are asked to take medicine, but the priest will also take medicine, saying that this is the grace bestowed by God , Meeting God in sleep is a good thing to increase happiness and longevity... "
"This is the first time I've heard of this method of sacrifice." Chen Xian looked at him in astonishment.
"It's definitely a cult! Isn't this just group drug use!" Lu Yisheng said.
According to the old man, the ceremony that day was as serious as usual. After taking the medicine, everyone fell asleep in this forest, including the priest... It's a pity that none of them thought that the old man did not obey the "God" requirements. After pouring down these herbs, he just put them into his mouth in front of the priest and did not swallow them.
After making sure that everyone was asleep several times, the old man started his own actions.
In his words, it is not so easy to kill people in Meishan Village.
Because everyone has become less human.
Even if the carotid artery was cut open for bloodletting, he would not die within a day or two, so he could only choose another shortcut.
"I turned them all into sacrifices."
When the old man said this, his smile became weird, and he looked at Chen Xian's hands meaningfully.
"Those seeds cannot harm the people of Meishan, and our blood can expel those seeds from the living body, but if the seeds are planted from the inside... the gods will not be able to save them!"
"How did you do it?" Chen Xian became even more curious.
"Open their mouths, throw a handful of seeds in, and poke them into their stomachs with a stick." The old man gestured as he spoke, "In less than half an hour, all the people will be dead."
"..."
Everyone looked at this dancing old guy silently, and felt that what this old man did was more ruthless than what he said, and his actions were really not ordinary black!
"Where is that god?" Li Daosheng couldn't help asking curiously at this moment, "It didn't bother you? You can kill its high priest!"
Hearing this, the old man couldn't help being stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something he didn't want to recall, his expression suddenly became a little painful.
"It... it did find me."
The old man said, took another cigarette from the cigarette case, took two puffs tremblingly, and finally calmed down his nervousness.
"After killing those people... it came to me once... although I can only hear its voice... but I can be sure that I definitely didn't hear it wrong... it seems to be very angry."
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help cursing in their hearts... nonsense! You killed all the high priests! If you are not angry, then you will be a ghost!
"It doesn't blame you?" Chen Xian asked, couldn't help but looked the old man up and down a few times, judging from the cruel nature of that "god", it seemed that someone like him who ruined its great affairs, ripped off his body The leather is light.
"It's my fault, but it didn't kill me or my grandson." The old man scratched his face, and there was a hint of escape in his eyes, "It said that there are only two of us left in the mountains, so it Decided to make me its high priest... it wants me to continue to find sacrifices for it."
"Actually, I don't understand... Since the priest can go in and out of the outside world at will... why not let the priest bring in people from the outside world as sacrifices?" Chen Xian asked with a frown, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "Isn't it the people who kill the outside world?" Is it more conducive to the unity of your Meishan Village?"
"No." The old man shook his head and said, "People from the outside... not only people, but even animals are not allowed. Only people or animals who have lived in Meishan for many years can be used as sacrifices. In fact, I have always had doubts."
"Suspect?"
"Yes, I suspect... Human sacrifice needs to be cultivated." The old man pointed to his distorted face, smiled helplessly, and said in a low voice, "Those animals were born in Meishan and grew up in Meishan, so they can meet its standards and become sacrifices." , but the generation of my ancestors were all foreigners, the reason why it didn't immediately ask for human sacrifices is probably because we have a foreign atmosphere, which is different from the life here in Meishan. After we reproduce in Meishan for a few generations, It just started asking us to send people to live sacrifices..."
"The taste is quite picky." Xu Yanan said with a frown.
"Hey, that's a bit unreasonable for you to say that. My boss is also a foreigner. Why did you use him as a sacrifice before?" Lu Yisheng couldn't help asking.
"Because I can't find any other living creatures. The only ones I can meet in the mountains are tumor birds. That kind of bird is not easy to catch, so I want to try you... and I didn't know you at the beginning. It’s so powerful.” The old man said helplessly, “Although it doesn’t like foreign sacrifices, it’s worth trying, it’s better than finding a sacrifice and letting it kill me, right?”
"You old bastard has a dark heart!" Lu Yisheng cursed angrily.
As the saying goes, a picture is born from the heart, it seems that there is some truth in this saying...
Have you ever seen this old man look so ugly
It can be seen how dirty his heart is!
"Let's go."
Chen Xian got up from the ground and kept moving the knuckles of his hands, feeling much better than before.
"Go and see your god of Meishan."
