Raiders of the Lord God

Chapter 12 Sacrifice

The noon sun hung viciously above the head, the air in front of my eyes was so hot that it seemed to be shaking, and the two silhouettes walking towards each other were getting closer.

Liu Ye walked hard on the dirt road, the sweat gathered along his cheeks to his chin, and finally dripped into the soil.There are still dozens of meters to reach the green shade, and persist for a few more minutes.

At this time, the old man on the opposite side swayed and fell down.

Liu Ye was taken aback. Originally, this was his route, and he planned to carry the old man under the tree when he passed by.But as soon as he got closer, Liu Ye found that the old man's face was dark, and there were fine black lines on his face.Liu Ye hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, and hid far away.

Even their remote village has not escaped the plague. I don’t know who brought it first. It erupts in a short period of time. Before people die, there is usually no abnormality except lack of energy. .

The miraculous doctor refers to those in the Imperial Palace. In a small mountain village like theirs, half of the barefoot doctors died.

The transmission route of the plague is not yet clear, and some people got the disease even though they had no contact with the plague patients.A rescue team was temporarily formed in the village, and the consensus was that ordinary people should not come into contact with the sick person without protective measures.

But basically, once the disease breaks out, they are sentenced to death, and no one has been rescued so far.

It was unnaturally hot and it hadn't rained for a long time.Liu Ye stayed in the shade for a while, took a breath, and ran back to the village to report to the rescue team.

He thought while running, is it true that the gods of this world have given up on them as the previous national teacher said?

The God of Creation called Hengwu.

After leaving the village chief's house, Liu Ye bumped into his mother and stepfather head-on. He raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them. He ignored them and walked away without even saying hello.Faintly heard the stepfather saying: "Look at the good son you raised."

He couldn't help sneering, but he knew that his father was killed by this man, possibly with the help of his mother.The village is small, so how can everyone not notice it?It's just that no one cares about it, and it doesn't harm their own interests, just treat it as someone else's idle gossip.

Why are people like this still alive and well now? Why don’t they suffer from the plague? If the Creator God still blesses this world, why won’t there be clear rewards and punishments.

Therefore, no matter how much the former national teacher prayed to the heavens, he could not get any response. God was high above, and he would just sit back and watch the world go to destruction.Even if they are angry because of something, at least give them a chance to correct.Those who do evil should be rewarded badly, and those who offend God should also die as an apology, but why should people like them be implicated when they obviously did not commit any mistakes.

There is an incurable plague all over the world, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before everyone dies.

Together with this national teacher, it will not be successful.The new national teacher who has held the ceremony for 81 days and is going out tonight to bring God's will, maybe in the end he just said something indiscriminately, and even if he did it, it would have no effect.

Speaking of this national teacher, he was originally a low-level clergyman in Jixian Academy who was just eating and waiting to die. However, the clerics here are panic-stricken every day, worrying about losing their lives, and claiming that they are bestowed by the gods to save the common people. important task.

At this time, the king was already sick and went to the doctor indiscriminately. Even if he proposed that if anyone could save the common people, he would dedicate the world to him, but no one came up with a solution.After hearing about this, the king immediately followed his advice, built the Nine Layers Babel Pagoda as quickly as possible, and selected the candidates for the shift guard.The person didn't panic in the slightest, and only said that good news would come after 81 days.

In the blink of an eye, these days passed, and the people inside didn't know what was going on outside. Looking at the worsening situation of the plague, it seemed that this confident national teacher would also be beheaded.

Liu Ye woke up in the middle of the night, and the laughter next door made him sick, so he simply pulled on a pair of cloth shoes and went to the yard shirtless.

Today was different from usual. He felt cold after staying outside for 2 minutes. When he entered the room and put on a coat again, a drop of rain fell on the back of his hand.Immediately afterwards, there was a rumbling thunder in the distance, and it rained.

He opened his mouth wide, almost in disbelief, that it was really raining.

So that national teacher is not an idiot, they are saved.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but more people ran out to revel in the rain, and even knelt on the ground and didn't know who they were kneeling.The same is true for Liu Ye. Their gods have not abandoned them. Is there anything more gratifying than this?

It is said that the speed of the plague in the imperial capital has slowed down, and that national teacher really got the favor of God.People wept bitterly to thank the national teacher, and even enshrined the portrait of the national teacher in their homes.

The speed of the plague in the village has not slowed down at all, but people are full of hope, waiting for help from the imperial capital, until half a month after the heavy rain, the king sent people to the town, and the town sent people to them the village.

It is said that the imperial capital is calling for 16-year-old boys from all over the country, and Liu Ye is the only one in the whole village who meets the age requirement, so he was naturally recommended by the village chief.Liu Ye didn't really want to go, and he couldn't explain why. He always felt that it would be no good to go.

This errand of saving the common people has an age limit. Naturally, some people want to go even if they sharpen their heads. This quota was finally won by their village. In addition to the situation in Liu Ye's family, it was basically just a formality to get his consent. walked again.Regardless of whether he was really willing or not, he and the people in the town were allowed to leave that day.He didn't stop at the town, and set off for the imperial capital overnight with the selected boys.

Liu Ye got up earlier that day, opened the curtain of the carriage, and saw the gate of the imperial capital from a distance, wide open, like some kind of huge monster.

These teenagers were brought into the palace and enjoyed the best treatment, food and clothing they had never seen in the small village.Just not allowed to take a step outside the residence.After despair, he suddenly saw a glimmer of life. The mental state of the whole country was in an abnormal atmosphere. The national teacher seemed to be the real god of the world. Only Liu Ye, who had never been happy, seemed out of tune with them.

Speaking of this matter, Liu Ye also found it strange that he just couldn't be happy. Thinking about it many years later, although he was still a human being at that time, his premonition ability might be stronger than the people around him, but he didn't even realize it. What I predicted was not so pleasant.

Heroes should not be kept in captivity. With this idea in mind, Liu Ye dug out of the yard one night. Before, he bravely dug out of the yard to look at the Jiuzhong Tongtian Tower and came back to brag with them, but he was not punished for it. .

Liu Ye thought the same way. He was very curious about the Nine Layers Tongtian Pagoda that they were going to worship in the near future, so he planned to explore the terrain with his own eyes.

In the short run, the move hurt him, but in the long run, it saved him.

The Nine-Storied Tongtian Tower is not spectacular, because it was cast in a hurry. There is only one nine-story model. In fact, there are no stairs inside, and only the first floor is barely usable.Although the national teacher did not say that the tower would be expanded after he came out of the tower, the king still carried out a great renovation on the original basis. At least the first floor is exactly like a sacrificial hall.

Liu Ye felt that seeing from a distance was not enjoyable enough, so he moved closer and looked inside, and then he saw an incredible scene.

Inside the auditorium, there were rows of teenagers kneeling in the same posture, each with a blank expression on their faces, motionless.This scene was a bit scary. At first glance, Liu Ye thought it was a living person, but then he thought it was a doll. It was really difficult for a person not to move their eyelids.He changed a window to peep inside, and finally confirmed that it was a living person.

All of them looked like their souls had been emptied.

The ominous feeling in his heart became more and more intense, Liu Ye moved closer to the window to look, and suddenly felt that someone behind him was watching him.As soon as he turned his head, he realized that his premonition had not come to fruition again. A man in expensive clothes with a sinister expression was staring at him not far away. He was very familiar with that face. Within half a month before coming to the imperial capital, the streets and alleys had already been rumored. Filled with portraits of the man.

It is the national teacher of the people's savior.

Liu Ye took a deep breath, relying on the darkness and the distance, all of them were dressed in uniform, hurriedly covered their faces and ran away. After running for a while, looking back, the national teacher was only staring at the Jiutongtongtian Tower, and did not chase after him.

Everyone was already asleep when they went back. Liu Ye changed clothes and got under the quilt to pretend to sleep. After waiting for about half an hour, he still didn't come to find anyone.He relaxed and began to think about what he saw today.The more he thinks about it, the more he feels something is wrong, especially when he thinks that he wants to be like that. He doesn't want to. It turns out that the purpose of asking 16-year-old boys to worship is to make them become like that.

He will escape no matter what.Thinking of this, Liu Ye quietly changed his clothes, and he was wondering whether to tell others, but also felt that they would only be regarded as crazy by others.

Thinking of this, he slowed down his dressing speed, even if he escaped and told the world what the national teacher was doing, would anyone really believe him?Taking a step back, even if someone believed it, would they think this behavior was wrong?

No, no, the national teacher is the god of this world. No matter what the national teacher does, he is right. He only chooses this method to save the common people. What the national teacher conveys is the will of the gods. Grant such rights to the national teacher.Maybe some families will volunteer their children.

This realization made him walk out of the house like a ghost, so it seems that he is the selfish person.

Liu Ye saw that the national teacher who was already standing outside the door seemed to have seen a ghost, but he couldn't move anymore, and when the national teacher waved, he walked over automatically.

The national teacher looked him up and down, and nodded: "The aptitude is good, it's you."
