OBS Chapter 9 The Strange Stone Statue
Chapter 9 The Strange Stone Statue
At that moment, Ding Yi broke out in a cold sweat, realizing that Bai Yun was actually casting a spell on him, even though he seemed to be preaching!
"What can we do!"
A sense of panic welled up in Ding Yi's heart. He couldn't help but look at the other villagers, only to find that none of them had noticed anything amiss. Instead, they all wore expressions of rapture, and the frequency of their kneeling and worshipping the statue in front of them had increased even more.
"These villagers are acting so dazed and confused, could it be the work of this so-called preaching?!"
An absurd yet highly probable guess suddenly appeared in Ding Yi's mind, causing his heart to sink.
"We can't just sit here and wait to die; we have to think of a way."
Without much thought, Ding Yi felt that pain would be effective in getting rid of the hallucinatory voice in his mind, so he immediately bit his tongue.
The next moment, a sharp pain shot from the tip of Ding Yi's tongue straight to his brain, causing his face to contort. But this pain did bring Ding Yi a moment of clarity, greatly reducing the noise in his mind.
At this moment, everyone in the courtyard was kneeling and worshipping frantically. Ding Yi was sandwiched in the crowd, and although his expression was somewhat ferocious and strange, he did not attract the attention of the two Taoists.
Time passed by, and just as Ding Yi felt his tongue was going numb from being bitten, his forehead was covered in sweat, and he was about to give up, a surge of heat suddenly emanated from his lower abdomen and rushed into his brain along his veins.
Ding Yi immediately felt his mind clear up, and his eyes gradually regained their clarity.
"This is... Evergreen Kung Fu?!"
In a short moment, Ding Yi realized the source of the energy within his body. Overjoyed, he glanced around and saw that the two Taoists were not looking in his direction. He then adjusted his posture slightly and adopted the kneeling posture from the Changqing Gong.
Immediately afterwards, Ding Yi adjusted his breathing, and in no time, the warm current surging from his lower abdomen grew much stronger. At that moment, most of the chaotic noise in his mind disappeared, and he felt instantly refreshed.
"I never imagined that the Evergreen Skill would have such effects. It's truly worth the money I got from my all-in bet!"
While Ding Yi was circulating his internal energy, he was observing the Taoist priest diagonally in front of him. After an unknown amount of time, Bai Yunzi slowly stopped preaching.
At this moment, the already dim sky had completely darkened, and night had truly fallen.
Outside the walls surrounding the courtyard, all was silent except for the dull thuds of the villagers' foreheads hitting the ground as they continued their frantic worship, giving the Taoist temple an eerie and sinister atmosphere.
At this moment, Bai Yunzi glanced at the kneeling crowd before him, a satisfied smile appearing on his face. He then flicked his whisk and said:
"The immortal has taken pity on you and is willing to bestow upon you a miraculous medicine."
"However, you also need to pay tribute, so let's follow the old custom and settle it with your flesh and blood!"
After saying that, Bai Yunzi flicked his whisk, and a red light flew out from the whisk and went straight into the statue in the courtyard.
The next moment, the statue that had been standing quietly in place slowly opened its eyes!
"The immortal has appeared! The immortal has appeared!"
"We are willing to offer our flesh and blood, begging the immortals to protect us and help us through this calamity!!"
The villagers had stopped kowtowing and instead put their hands together, looking at the huge statue that was slowly opening its eyes, their faces filled with a frenzied and excited expression.
Meanwhile, Ding Yi, standing in the corner, stared at the statue, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of his chest!
No words could describe Ding Yi's feelings at this moment. After all, such a bizarre scene was right in front of him, completely overturning his worldview and causing his limbs to tremble involuntarily.
Before he transmigrated, he was just a recent college graduate! He had never seen such an absurd scene before!
Even though he had witnessed those terrifying shadowy creatures last night, the oil lamp protected him, and the shadowy creatures turned to dust before they could even get close, so he never truly felt the strangeness and absurdity of this world.
But now, he saw it completely and utterly.
The Taoist statue's eyes swept over the kneeling crowd below without any emotion. Then, countless fleshy strips suddenly shot out from its body and fell in front of each person.
The villagers below, seemingly prepared, showed no surprise or fear. Instead, they opened their packages with enthusiastic smiles and placed the contents in front of them.
Only now did Ding Yi see clearly what was in those people's packages.
Flesh and blood, all of it was bloody flesh and blood.
Some looked like the hind legs of wild animals, some looked like the internal organs of wild animals, but some, no matter how Ding Yi looked at them, looked exactly like human heads.
The flesh and blood were unusually fresh, and blood was still seeping from them, instantly filling the entire courtyard with the smell of blood.
"Holy crap, this is outrageous!"
A strong urge to vomit surged from Ding Yi's stomach, but Ding Yi knew that if he made any unusual move at this moment, he would probably become a lump of minced meat on the ground in the next second.
So Ding Yi gritted his teeth and tried his best not to make a sound, then looked at the villagers who had not brought any packages.
The villagers stretched out their arms and raised them high in front of the meat strips that were coming towards them. Then the meat strips were inserted into their arms and they began to suck on them.
Why is it described as sucking? It's because after those strips of flesh are inserted into a person's arm, they begin to contract rhythmically, just like someone using it as a straw to drink a beverage.
As for the others who took out flesh and blood, those strips of meat could be precisely inserted into the flesh and blood for sucking. Such a scene immediately caused the sanity value in the courtyard to soar.
Ding Yi was so shocked by the scene before him that his scalp tingled, but there was nothing he could do at the moment, so he could only stretch out his arm to face the oncoming strips of meat.
The next moment, a sharp pain came from Ding Yi's arm, and then Ding Yi felt a suction force coming from the fleshy strip on his arm.
"Oh no, they're going to suck me dry, aren't they?!"
Ding Yi was at a loss for words. His gaze involuntarily fell on the wooden plank in the package, but after looking at the two Taoist priests still standing in the courtyard, he immediately abandoned his idea of fighting to the death.
What a joke! These areas are marked with red crosses on the quicksand map. Ding Yi doesn't think he can take them down with just a few crossbows.
Fortunately, these meat strips seemed to understand the principle of draining the pond to catch all the fish. After sucking for a while, they suddenly pulled themselves out of the flesh and blood. Then, the meat tube writhed and sprayed out lamps covered in viscous liquid from the tube opening.
"this?"
Ding Yi stared dumbfounded at the lamp that had fallen in front of him, and suddenly realized that the strange lamp in Old Man Wei's house had come from here!
Thinking of this, Ding Yi quietly looked to the side and found that the villagers around him had some items in front of them, most of which were lamps, and there were also small bottles at the feet of the villagers carrying flesh and blood.
"It should be a medicine bottle, right? I've seen it at Old Man Wei's house, so it seems to have come from here as well."
Ding Yi looked at the bottles, somewhat surprised.
"That concludes today's sermon. You may all follow Qingyunzi to your guest rooms to rest for the night!"
Bai Yunzi, who had been standing in the courtyard, saw that the statue had retracted the meat strips. He then flicked his whisk and said expressionlessly.
