Chapter 1 Different, Suspected Monster Beast
Seeing the rolling black clouds about to cover the entire valley, the blue clear sky that was still cloudless the moment before, and only a piece of gray and black left was left. The boy couldn't help but clench his fists.
The children running around screamed in surprise, naturally noticing that the boy's slightly thin shoulders were trembling slightly at this moment.
Yes, he was attracted by this dark cloud, because the children bullied him without a father and without restraint. He got angry for a moment, and somehow caused this change again!
However, when the lightning flashed and the thunder roared, he regretted it. He knew what would happen next. He did not want to hurt anyone, nor did he want to cause any trouble to his tribe!
The boy frowned, anxious, and kept praying: "Stop! Stop!"
But it was useless. In an instant, heavy rain poured down! In a panic, someone fell down, rolled and crawled, and there were constant calls for help, and there were two words mixed in it that were particularly harsh:
"Monster Beast"!
In the heavy rain, he was not wet at all. The rain curtain should have blocked his sight, but he could see clearly the drops of rain! The rain column broke his reflection in the rain pond, which was the one that made him dream back at midnight and unable to sleep: snake tail, dragon scales, red hair and sharp teeth.
He has indeed transformed again!
Just as he was in a daze, he heard the rumbling sound from far to near. The boy's heart became tight, and suddenly he was afraid and depressed. He felt an inexplicable heart sorrow sweeping over, but he didn't understand why and had no time to think about it. He closed his eyes tightly, hoping that everything would be a nightmare, and the sky would be clear when he opened his eyes!
However, the moment he opened his eyes, he still saw the roaring waves like a surging beast!
"Hou(hoù)qing!"
At the critical moment, a familiar shout came from behind him, and it was urgent and sonorous: "Sink in the pulse, gather your energy, and discard your distractions!"
Before he finished speaking, a red figure had already gathered behind the boy and taught: "See the veins of water clearly and guide it with thoughts!"
The young man called Hou Qing carefully observed the flood as he spoke, then slowly closed his eyes, thought in his heart, after taking a few deep breaths, he opened his eyes suddenly and shouted softly, "Stop!"
The rain line stopped for a moment, and the remaining rain fell to the ground, and it really stopped the rain!
Hou Qing then pointed to the flood eastward and shouted again: "Go!"
The flood turned in response, rubbed the villages, dragging mud and silted all the way to the Chishui River, and finally poured into the East China Sea. However, everything was affected. Fortunately, there were almost no one living along the road, and they were all wilderness and mountain roads, and they were not much lost.
Seeing this, Hou Qing's heart finally fell to the ground slightly and breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, after controlling it, Hou Qing felt exhausted both physically and mentally and kept breathing heavily.
However, although the urgent problem has been solved, the clan is still in a mess. Many crops have flooded, many houses have been broken, and many children have been scared.
"I'm afraid the mother witch will make things difficult again..." Hou Qing sighed, turned to look at the red figure who had arrived beside him, lowered his head and called out: "Uncle Chiyou..."
"It's okay, I'll go back with you!" Chi You replied, very straightforward.
At this time, Qing had returned to the human form, with his sword-browed eyebrows and starry eyes, and he looked quite handsome. He raised his head and looked at Chi You, as if he wanted to squeeze out a smile, but his eyebrows were not spread. He looked like he just pulled the corner of his mouth, then he quickly lowered his head and walked forward slowly in silence.
Chi You followed him and also slowed down. He was quite strong, with eight feet tall, eyebrows spreading into his temples, bronze faces all around, teeth and hair. With such steps, he looked funny.
As the noisy voices gradually came to my ears, Hou Qing's pace also became slower and slower, as heavy as if he was dragging a huge rock.
Chi You looked at Hou Qing who was almost moving at a turtle speed beside him. He was obviously innocent and childish, but there was gloomy and stubbornness between his eyebrows. Chi You couldn't help feeling a little distressed when he looked at him, so he gently patted Hou Qing's shoulder and smiled at him, "What are you afraid of with me, the main god?"
Hou Qing was secretly uneasy, hesitating to wait and see if the tribe members make things difficult for the mother witch, should they defend themselves? But I don’t know if the debate will get worse and worse, but instead intensified the conflict? While I was nervous, when Chi You was relieved, I calmed down a little and accelerated my pace without realizing it.
In a short while, I saw the clan members gathered in the courtyard of the witch temple, surrounding each other, with every word and a crying voice mixed with.
The person surrounded was Hou Qing's mother, the witch of Jiuli, named Qi.
At that time, although the divine world and the human world were interconnected, few gods lived in harmony with the human race. The human world was vast and the five emperors could not take full care of it, so they sent the main gods of the gods to live in the human world, each living in one place. For example, Chiyou was the main god in charge of Jiuli. However, even these main gods lived in various Lingshan Temples, and had a barrier to protect them. Ordinary people could not see them and could not go up the mountain. Therefore, in general, the human race could not see the gods.
But if the human race is in trouble, how should the gods know? This is the position of a wizard, divided into witches and male prayers. In fact, the witches are also humans, but they are born with spiritual roots. All the first witches are personally selected by the ancient god Nuwa, and they use divine power to open the spirits. From then on, they can communicate with gods for generations, and they cannot intermarry with foreign races. They can only get one son in their lifetime, and this son can renew their spiritual veins. The first witches will be witches for generations, and the first witches will be witches for generations, and the first witches will be merciless. However, if this is the case, the spiritual veins will be broken. When the current witches pass away, the clan members will not be blessed by the gods. Therefore, occasionally intermarrying with foreign races and causing descendants to connect with yin and yang. In order to continue the spiritual veins, they can go to heaven to ask Nuwa to renew their spirits, and they can have another son, but they have to survive the punishment of heavenly thunder and will affect the entire clan's natural disasters.
Wu Zhu can invite gods in two situations, when the whole clan is in trouble, or the gods are coming to sacrifice once a century. No matter what occasion, it is necessary to "invite gods" by sacrificing and dancing. The higher the level of the gods invited, the more spiritual power it consumes. Generally speaking, it is only possible to invite the local master god.
Therefore, Wu Zhu has a very high status in the human world and has set up temples. Logically, mortals dare not provoke Wu Zhu at all, but Jiuli is different. As the son of the witch Qi, Hou Qing has already connected with the Yin and Yang, and the Jiuli spiritual vein has been broken! Fortunately, they did not need spiritual veins to invite gods, just because Jiuli's main god Chiyou did not live in Lingshan, but lived with the people for more than a hundred years. The temple is located in the clan and there is no barrier. Therefore, even if there is no witch spiritual vein in the future, the Jiuli people can see the main god by themselves.
But they were still worried, afraid that Chiyou would have no choice but to return to the divine realm one day, so they were quite resentful of the witch Qi. What's more, this kind of disaster is not the first time, and it was all caused by the son of the witch. The clan members have always been doubtful about Hou Qing's identity, and the children's blurts reflect the clan members' past suspicion.
Faced with the complaints of the tribe, the witch Qi Xiu frowned slightly and remained silent, as if she was aware of being able to listen, but she seemed to have never heard of it.
"Mother Witch!" Although he felt timid, Hou Qing's cry was not timid at all.
Everyone looked at Hou Qing with an uproar, but they saw the Lord Chi You accompanying him, and the noise stopped immediately.
The witch Qi glanced at Hou Qing, sighed indecisively, then stood up and said to the tribe apologetically: "Everyone, please take stock of the losses, and tell me one by one, and wait for me to try to make up for it."
When everyone heard this, they whispered, but because of the presence of the Lord God, they were quite angry but not afraid to speak.
Only one person shouted without hesitation: "Mr. Qi Wu, some of the losses may not be compensated!"
Hou Qing recognized that the person who spoke was the eldest of the nine elders in the clan. He had a son, called Li Wei. He used to bully him. He often bullied him. It was because of Li Wei's bullying that he changed for the first time, causing the first flood. After that, as long as his emotions were out of control, he would transform and cause floods.
However, I heard that Li Wei was seriously ill later, and he never left the door again and never saw him again. Elder Li also sang a counter-tune with the Mother Witch since then.
The witch Qi pursed her lips tightly, but she was speechless. However, Chi You spoke out and said, "I am also responsible for such an accident. Please go back and take stock of the losses first. If there are any things that Qi Wu cannot compensate, you can come to find me. I will do my best. Let's go!"
The sound was like a bell, and there was no doubt that no one dared to say anything more. They dispersed. Elder Li could only look gloomy, glanced at Hou Qing, and left resentful.
After the crowd dispersed, the witch Qi glanced at Hou Qing, frowned, and turned around and walked towards the inner court.
Hou Qing couldn't help but look at Chi You, and saw that Chi You gave him encouragement and smiled. He felt a little relieved, so he followed the witch Qi into the inner court.
Chi You sat on the stairs in front of the hall, not intending to disturb them, let alone at that location, with the hearing of his gods, he could actually hear the conversation in the hall clearly.
The witch Qi and Hou Qing sat in the front hall, without saying a word.
Hou Qing snatched the witch Qi and saw that she looked out the door, unable to see whether she was sad or angry.
Hou Qing tried to speak several times but stopped, but finally he just pursed his lips and looked depressed.
The witch Qi saw it and knew that he had something to say, so he broke the silence and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Hou Qing clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and then asked carefully: "Mother Witch, I, what am I? Is it true as they said, is it... a monster?"
The witch Qi was shocked. She naturally knew a little about the speculations and rumors of the tribe members. However, she always did what she wanted and felt very guilty about the tribe members, so she didn't explain and let the tribe members go, but Hou Qing took it to heart! She asked hurriedly: "Did you hear anything from the tribe members?"
Hou Qing shook his head and said, "It's not just because of the words of his tribe... but myself, I, I have a lot of confusion..." As he said that, he looked at the witch Qi, frowned and asked, "Mother Witch, as long as I lose control of my emotions, I will transform, and the snake's tail and fangs look like a snake's tail. Why is this? Also, I am so slow, those I grew up when I was a child... I have been adult for a long time, but I haven't grown up at all, and I still look like I am like this..." Hou Qing said lighter and lighter, and later it seemed to be in his throat, almost inaudible.
As the witch listened, she looked shaking and said seriously: "The things in the world are complicated and have their own reasons. They cannot be known to everyone, but in fact they are not as good as others. Just ask for a clear conscience. Why bother to pay attention to the gossip? Believe what you believe and don't move for him!"
"But I am more confused than believe, and the clan members' statements can solve the doubts! Mother Witch, I have never doubted you, I just want to know the truth! No matter where I come from, I want to know!" Hou Qing looked at the witch Qi, with a stubborn and persistent look in his eyes. He made up his mind and asked what he wanted to find out anyway today!
The witch Qi Ze looked at Hou Qing quietly, his heart was in a mess.
She just wanted to keep Hou Qing by her side, and even if she couldn't hide it in the end, she didn't care. Compared to Hou Qing, her life was really limited. What she wanted for her life was to keep Hou Qing to accompany her to her for the rest of her life! She knew that she was selfish and abandoned her clan members for this selfishness, which was because she owed her clan members. So she had no complaints no matter how she made trouble or offend her clan. Although she had actually made up her own mind, she would never let Jiuli lose the blessing of the gods and die without any concern!
But she did not expect that Hou Qing's growth would gradually lose control. She was willing to be criticized by thousands of people, but she could not harm Hou Qing!
The witch Qi thought to herself that now that Hou Qing has grown up, the last solution was probably not feasible, it was just a waste of spiritual power. If there was any mistake, it would be more than a loss.
After pondering for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and looked at Hou Qing reluctantly, saying, "The Mother Witch has never said it, I just want to keep you by my side... I know I can't hide it in the end, but I always want to have a more time of more time..." As he said that, he paused, shook his head gently, and sighed, "Forget it, it was the Mother Witch who neglected. The Mother Witch's selfishness has caused such a thing, which has harmed the tribe's people, but also made Qing'er feel so humiliated!"
Seeing the witch Qi's expression was bleak, Hou Qing couldn't bear to call out: "Mother Witch..."
But she was interrupted by the witch Qi waved her hand. She stared at Hou Qing's eyes and said word by word: "You are not a monster, but... a demigod!" (To be continued)
