Chapter 8 (1/2)
Xue Meng woke up with a strong smell.
When he woke up, it was already daybreak outside, but his brain was still dizzy after a hangover. He rubbed his temples hard, and he staggered up to wash in the bathroom. The people in the mirror have disheveled hair, red eyes and look very tired. As he brushed his teeth, he yawned.
After a long time of cleaning up, I went out to work.
He just opened the door, but he was stunned.
Outside is not the community he is familiar with. Looking around, except for the house where he stands, there is a vast expanse of white everywhere. The sky is white, the earth is white, white and soft clouds are floating in the air, with golden light shuttling in it. The golden light is not dazzling, but very soft. It makes people feel close to each other.
Xue Meng's original surprise and fear faded away unconsciously. He stepped out of his own accord and walked towards the golden light.
After a few steps, he subconsciously looked back, the house behind him had disappeared, leaving only a vast expanse of white.
This scene was very strange, but he didn't know why. On the contrary, they are closer to the wandering golden light and yearn for the past.
Fortunately, not far away, he saw the source of the golden light.
It was a pure white statue,
The statue sits on the lotus platform with his left hand holding a golden bowl and his right hand twisting his fingers on his knee, slightly drooping his head and looking at his followers mercifully. The golden light poured out from the golden bowl in the left hand of the Buddha. A trace of a continuous, endless, free to swim, just like a living creature.
At the foot of the Buddha, there are many men and women kneeling. Their mouths murmured incomprehensible whispers, and every time they read a sentence, they would knock their heads devoutly.
Xue Meng also knelt down to the ground in a daze. He knelt down in front of him, in front of him, in front of him, in front of him, in front of him, in front of him, in front of him, in front of him, in front of him, in front of him. Xue Meng listened carefully, and finally heard the murmurs clearly.
”My Lord, please bless me to win the first prize in this lottery...”
”My Lord, please kill that damned woman for me...”
”Lord Sui Shen, please let Chen Yu fall in love with me...”
”Lord Sui Shen...”
”Lord Sui Shen...”
“……”
Countless praying sounds, like tiny raindrops, formed a torrential trend in Xue Meng's ear.
The sound of praying with strong emotion, or madness, or hatred... Everyone kneels in front of God and prays for God to realize his wish in the most humble and fanatical manner.
Xue Meng was dizzy when he heard that. He was a little dizzy for a moment.
He suddenly heard a sad voice in his ear: ”my most loyal believer, what do you want?”
”Wealth, power, love... As long as you make a wish, I will realize it for you.”
The voice was ethereal and ethereal, as if it contained endless compassion, and slowly lured Xue Meng to make a wish.
Xue Meng opened his mouth, subconsciously wanted to say something, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the left and right people who made wishes, red faced and left, covered with a layer of pale gold halo.
There are still more people making wishes. He saw the golden light, after the believers made a wish, it skillfully penetrated into their bodies and turned into a hazy halo.
”What do you want?” the voice asked slowly
Xue Meng's eyes are blurred. What does he want? His eyes turned slowly, as if at last he thought of his wish.
”My Lord, I want to --”
Speaking of the half way, the confused mind suddenly shocked for a moment.
He suddenly remembered what Jiang Jiu said to him during the day.
”There are gains and losses in everything. If you get something that doesn't belong to you, you should exchange it with something of equal value.”
Exchange the equivalent for... Exchange the equivalent for
This sentence sounded like spring thunder in his mind.
Xue Meng suddenly raised his head and looked at the statue, but he saw that the statue was still in pity and smiling. But the smile on his lips for a long time, but added a sense of treachery.
Xue Meng was sweating behind his back.
Just when he didn't know what to do, a familiar voice pulled him back from the edge of fear. It was Jiang's voice——
”I found you.”
Xue Meng looked back with surprise and joy, and saw that Jiang Jiu was walking towards them, and he was near in the blink of an eye. He got up in a hurry, eager to tell Jiang Jiu the strange situation just now, but his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't make a sound.
He was so anxious that his forehead was dripping with sweat, but Jiang Jiu walked up to him leisurely, raised his hand and patted him on the forehead, and said in a soft voice, ”go back and have a good sleep.”
Xue Meng felt light all over, so he could not help walking in the same direction.
Seeing Xue Meng go back, the smile on his lips stagnated: ”who are you waiting for? No respect for God, death penalty. ”
Jiang Shu blinked, and suddenly began to laugh mysteriously: ”I'm afraid to scare you when I say it. I've eaten 50 gods without 100.”
”Young child, it's easy to talk!”
As soon as the lips of the statue were sipped, the compassion on his face disappeared, leaving only cold malice. As soon as the scene turns, the believers kneeling on the ground disappear. The statue sitting on the lotus stand slowly rises, and the right hand becomes a claw. With the power of wind and thunder, he grabs Jiang Jiu.
Ginger greedy did not dodge, but let the unreasonable hand grasp him and sent him to the statue.
The statue gazed at him coldly with a smile full of malice and success.
Jiang Jiu also laughed when he looked at him. His bright eyes were like looking at a piece of fleshy pork, and he muttered to himself: ”it's just a part of the body. It's not said in the rules that you can't eat it. If you eat quietly, there should be no problem... ”
Before the statue could understand what the arrogant intruder was talking to himself, it was found that Jiang Jiu's body, which he was holding, suddenly expanded rapidly and turned into a dark beast in the blink of an eye.
Body like wolf, horn like cattle, tiger teeth, horse feet, dragon tail. Scarlet vertical pupil fixed look over, is to see the excitement of food.
”Taotie?”
The statue's eyes widened in amazement, and his voice trembled imperceptibly. Unfortunately, without waiting for him to regret or be afraid, Taotie opened his mouth and swallowed it up without hesitation.
Jiang Shu changed back to human form, touched his belly and belched happily.
He hadn't met such a fool for a long time.
After licking his lips, Jiang Jiu felt that the taste was familiar. After thinking about it, I can't remember where I ate it. After all, he ate too many demons and gods in ancient times.
I can't remember that he didn't ask for it either. He stamped his foot and stepped back from Xue Meng's dream.
