Chapter 235: Blood and Tears of the Statue
Chapter 235: Blood and Tears of the Statue
Qu Mao frowned slightly.
This act of stealing and replacing the past... Based on his previous experience of wandering...
Hey, I haven’t heard of it!
But as the old saying goes, the world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things.
Just because he hasn't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
The methods of evil ways are inherently strange and unpredictable.
As for whether the crab monster is as Fu Yunzi said...
Since the memories were those of the villagers, he couldn't figure out anything in it, especially the statue. He didn't know whether it was enchanted or not.
Therefore, this matter remains doubtful.
The screen flashed again.
The scene shifts from the inner room to the sea.
It was still the same boat, and the same seven villagers.
However, there was one more thing on the boat - the statue of Goddess Wu Luo.
They were seen sailing in one direction, and after a while, they saw several fishing boats coming towards them.
"They are coming, stop them!"
"They really came out to fish today!"
"Hey, here, here!"
The seven villagers on the small boat kept waving to the people on the fishing boat, and soon the two sides met up.
After leaving one companion to watch the boat, the others boarded a fishing boat.
The man wearing a turban held the statue of the deity and boarded the largest ship.
"Erhu, why are you here?"
A young man on the fishing boat said in surprise.
The man named Erhu quickly told the people on the boat everything Fu Yunzi had told him.
At the same time, similar scenes were happening on other fishing boats.
The people on the boat were horrified by what they heard.
"This... Erhu, is this true?"
Seeing that the people on the fishing boat were skeptical, Erhu held the statue in his hand forward and said:
"We bought this statue in the city. It has not been infected by evil spirits and was consecrated by Taoist Master Fuyunzi. You can secretly take this statue back and worship it sincerely. Goddess Wu Luo will definitely hear your prayers and give you guidance."
The scene changes.
I saw many people gathered secretly in a main room, including the village chief, several young and strong men on the fishing boats, and several respected elders in the village.
The statue enshrined in the house was brand new, and it was obviously the statue of Goddess Wu Luo that the young and strong men had brought back.
It was dark, the door was closed, and only a few candles in the house provided barely any light.
After everyone had paid their respects together, the village chief respectfully asked on behalf of everyone:
"May I ask, Madam Queen, the monster on the Worry-Free Island where we are now, does it have some other conspiracy? Or is it really as it said, just cultivating here and has no intention of attacking?"
The old village chief who asked the question was extremely nervous.
After all, they have lived on the island for a long time from generation to generation, and although the monster is in the cave, they have always lived in peace.
The land on the island is fertile, the surrounding fishery resources are abundant, and there are no exorbitant taxes and no one has to be bullied by strong men. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a secret place in Taoyuan.
If they leave the island rashly, not to mention whether the monsters will capture them, the fact that there is no place for such a large group of people like them to stand in the outside world makes it difficult for them to abandon Worry-Free Island.
As everyone was anxiously waiting, amid the smoke of incense, two lines of blood and tears were seen slowly flowing out of the eyes of the statue of Goddess Wu Luo.
"what!!!"
Everyone was shocked for a moment, and some people even stepped back in fear.
"This is a very bad omen! This is a very bad omen!"
The village chief was so anxious and frightened that he almost fainted.
Someone said with an unpleasant expression: "When I was a child, I heard from the elders that since our ancestors moved to this island, it seems that the statues have gradually become less effective."
Some people echoed, "I've also heard from my grandfather that he once went out to sea and encountered a big storm. The boat was overturned and fell into the sea. He took out the pendant of the deity statue he always carried with him, but no matter how much he begged the goddess Wu Luo, no miracle happened. He could only watch his boat sink into the sea."
"Yes, I have heard that too. At that time they thought that it was because they were not sincere that they did not receive the blessing of the Empress Wu Luo."
"Now it seems that the monster has secretly infected all the statues on the island, making it impossible for us to contact the Queen through the statues!"
Even Qu Mao, who was standing nearby, was amazed when he saw this scene.
He hurried forward to see it more clearly, but suddenly found that the scene had changed again.
However, the picture this time was not as clear as before, but rather hazy. Most importantly, the perspective was in the sky at the beginning, as if it was someone's dream.
I saw the view falling all the way down, gradually falling from the sky to the island, and then going all the way to the sea east of Worry-Free Island.
After flying to a point on the sea not far from Worry-Free Island, the perspective turned sharply downward, fell into the water, and went down all the way, as if it was going straight to the bottom of the water.
When we reached the bottom of the water, we saw hundreds of skeletons buried in the mud and sand, some of which were shipwrecks corroded by time, and some weapons, gold and silver objects lying among them.
What is even more shocking is that, looking at the appearance of these skeletons, the cause of death was not drowning in the sea or fighting, but rather the body being forcibly destroyed by external force.
Some were cut in half, some had their chests smashed by a huge force, and some had their heads directly cut off...
Why are you so sure?
Because those weapons were all scattered in the mud and sand, and not a single one of them stabbed anyone!
Those bodies that were broken into two pieces had a very obvious feeling of inward squeezing at the broken ends, which definitely were not simply cut off by weapons!
As a cultivator, Qu Mao immediately judged that the deaths of these humans might really be the work of those land crabs!
And these people have been dead for at least hundreds of years!
Before he could take a closer look, the dreamer suddenly woke up.
The scene changes.
I saw a group of young and strong men, under the pretext of going out to sea to fish, making a big circle and heading east.
It didn't take long before they found the sea area.
Since the shallow sea area was not very deep, everyone worked together to salvage, and after a few hours they managed to salvage some unusual objects from the water.
"Ah! These skeletons are actually real!"
"My dream is true! My dream is true!"
"This must be the revelation given to us by Empress Wu Luo!"
"Looking at the way they died, it's clear that they were killed by monsters!"
Now everyone no longer had any doubts.
What do you mean by "mind your own business"? What is "mind cultivation"?
If so, where did these ordinary human bones come from?
The screen turns again.
Still above the sea.
Fu Yunzi was invited by many fishermen to board the boat. In addition to the seven exiled people, there were also young men from the island who were going out to sea.
As soon as Fu Yunzi got on the boat, everyone knelt down and bowed to him.
"Please, Taoist priest, save us!"
"My wife, children and elders are all on that island. If we rashly take them away, the monster might get suspicious!"
"If that monster finds out that we are planning to escape with our wives and children, I'm afraid it will show its vicious side and won't let us go!"
"By then, I'm afraid we will just follow in the footsteps of our predecessors and become dried bones in the sea!"
Listening to everyone's crying, Fu Yunzi sighed deeply.
"It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I can't do anything!"
He thought for a while and said, "Well, since you are all believers of Wu Luo Niangniang, I have a method to summon the gods. With this method, plus your sincere prayers, you should be able to invite Wu Luo Niangniang to come and subdue the demon!"
Hearing this, everyone was delighted.
"Master, please cast a spell!"
