"It's not that those villagers have never thought of resisting, but in the face of powerful force, all struggles are in vain.
Just when the bug flew into their mouths, they felt stiff all over. Although their consciousness was still there, their bodies seemed to be out of control. No matter how hard they struggled, it was to no avail. In the end, they could only watch the weird thing.
The bugs get into their mouths and crawl into their brains."
Hearing this, Jiang Qinian couldn't help but ponder, as if he had thought of something.
Seeing Jiang Qinian's expression, the sculpture knew that he was thinking, so he did not continue talking, but patiently sat aside and began to think.
After waiting for a while, Jiang Qinian also had some concerns in his mind. He gently rubbed his forehead, and then expressed his opinion:
"So...are those insects transformed by the spirit of the villagers?
Because things like energy and spirit are still very important to people. If people don't return to their places for a long time, they will definitely die. And based on your description, it seems that those villagers did not undergo mutations as soon as they came up.
It’s a gradual process.”
Hearing this, the sculpture nodded noncommittally.
"Although there is no actual evidence to support your question, I actually think so too. I don't quite understand what that god's ability is.
However, judging from various subsequent signs, he should be able to swallow people's spirits, and then absorb the energy above through some means, and finally materialize it.
Of course...this is just our guess, but I think it's pretty close."
After saying that, Jiang Qinian also nodded slowly.
If the guess is correct, the statue that the villagers of Huaishi Village encountered should be a god. It should not be an evil god or anything like that, but its character is not much better.
This does not mean that the orthodox gods must look majestic when they appear in front of the world. It can only be said that most of them are like this, but no one knows what they will do behind the scenes.
Especially for such a seriously injured god, to put it bluntly, some orthodox gods may seem sanctimonious, but in fact, what they do behind the scenes is even more cruel than the evil gods.
After all, for beings who can become gods, secular ideas can no longer restrain them. Most gods have indifferent expressions, and nothing can arouse their emotions.
As for the so-called compassion and saving the world from fire and water, in fact, many of them are advocated.
If they really have kind thoughts and are bound by their seven emotions and six desires, they will not be able to become gods.
"If you put it that way... then the red-robed Taoist should be the attendant of the god or the god himself?"
After thinking about it, Jiang Qinian suddenly proposed such a possibility, and after the sculpture nodded, it did not refute Jiang Qinian's opinion.
"Hmm...that's how it should be."
Jiang Qinian did not continue talking, but went through the entire incident.
Ming Yaksha was seriously injured as early as ancient times, and has been stored in a shrine ever since, so there is very little information that can be found in ancient books.
But this god who caused trouble in Huaishi Village only found a place to live during the Tang Dynasty, which is who knows how many years later than Ming Yaksha.
Tang Dynasty...or the era before Tang Dynasty...
"In other words... this so-called god should have been seriously injured in ancient times, not in ancient times."
Hearing this, the sculpture couldn't help but asked curiously:
"What are you talking about?"
"You should know where this place is, right?"
"I know, the city of nightmares, the deep world!"
Jiang Qinian nodded.
"Now that you know it, it will be much easier to handle.
The deep world is divided into many areas, and each area has a shrine that guards the place. As for the shrine, the soul of the god resides there.
These spirits are all different, but the only thing they have in common is
They were all seriously injured, so they had to recuperate in the shrine in order to return to their peak.
And all of this is man-made, including this deep world and the place where souls are nourished. They were all created by those godly servants, and then the shrines were placed here...
Since this red-clothed god can appear here, he must have his own followers. In this case, the identity of the red-clothed god can be easily confirmed.
After all, he cannot be like Ming Yaksha, who was seriously injured in ancient times and only found a place to live in the Tang Dynasty!"
The sculpture could still understand the first half of this sentence, but when it came to the second part, she was a little confused and didn't know what Jiang Qinian was talking about.
"You seem to have said everything, and yet you seem to have said nothing..."
Jiang Qinian ignored the sculpture, but searched through his memory, hoping to confirm the identity of the red god.
Because except for the ancient times, there were not many battles to defeat gods later on.
In ancient times, there were thousands of ethnic groups and constant disputes. The human race was weak and could only survive in the cracks.
However, for tens of thousands of years, countless sages have gone through fire and water for the human race. In addition, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were born, the human race rose up, and all races were unable to hold their heads up. Only then did the human race become the main component of the world.
If the red-clothed god had been beaten to the point of losing his soul at that time, it would have been impossible for him to find a place to live until the Tang Dynasty. Instead, like Ming Yaksha, he should have been stored in the shrine early and lingered.
But since the god in red is so many years later than Ming Yaksha, it means that the two are not from the same era at all.
The red-clothed gods were also severely damaged in the Tang Dynasty or the era before the Tang Dynasty.
The most important thing is that the red god seems to have a certain relationship with immortality. Although this immortality looks more like a curse, if you look at it from the perspective of immortality, then this is really immortality.
Don't worry about the side effects, I'll just ask you if this person is still alive.
It is true that the villagers of Huaishixian Village are still alive until now, and they do not exist in the state of ghosts. As for what state they are in... Jiang Qinian can't tell clearly.
Anyway, even if it is still alive, it is not a ghost, but a creature that Jiang Qinian has never seen before.
Wearing a red robe, inhaling the energy of the gods, it is related to immortality, and fell in the Tang Dynasty and before...
There are only a few types of gods related to Shouyuan.
The Queen Mother of the West, the Antarctic Immortal Emperor, Magu, the longevity star...
But the only god who meets all the above conditions is the longevity star!!
The old man of longevity, whose real name is Antarctic Old Man, is also a subordinate god of the Antarctic Immortal Emperor and one of the three stars of good fortune, wealth and longevity.
However...the god of Huaishi Village is not the old longevity star, but is related to the old longevity star.
After all, the old birthday boy is also the god of auspiciousness, and it is impossible for him to do such a tragic thing. But if it is said that it is just a god related to him... then to be honest, it is not necessarily true.
At least according to Jiang Qinian's understanding, the god who stole the longevity fruit was not a good thing...
To be honest, the mythological factions in Yanhuang Land are complicated. There are many legends about the god who controls longevity, but there is only one that meets all the above conditions at the same time.
That’s the Immortal Fish! (read t)
The body of the fish is the back of a giant fish. The fish has spots on its back that look like the wrinkles of an old man's skin. Therefore, later generations often use the fish's back to refer to longevity.
The exact origin of the Immortal Immortal cannot be investigated, but according to rumors, the Immortal Immortal Immortal was a big fish with enlightened intelligence. He was later preyed on by wild beasts and was rescued by an old man from Antarctica when he was imprisoned.
The old man in Antarctica was originally the god of longevity. Now that he had rescued the mackerel, and seeing that his intelligence had developed, he kept him by his side and served him as a boy.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this Qibei's ability is not small, it is even said that he is extremely talented.
A fish has no chance, just because it lives a long time, it has to
Breaking the shackles and opening up your spiritual wisdom on your own is a talent that should not be underestimated.
The reason why the old man in Antarctica kept it by his side was just because of fate. If the fish had not developed its intelligence, the old man in Antarctica would have thrown it into the river at most, and he would not even have been able to save it.
In the final analysis, Qibei's own talent was high, and he won the favor of the old man in Antarctica, which gave him the opportunity to rise to the top.
Yes, Old Man Anji belongs directly to the Antarctic Changsheng Emperor, and as one of the Four Emperors, the Antarctic Changsheng Emperor is powerful enough to compete with the Five Emperors!!
In this way, the cultivation level of this Antarctic old man will naturally not be much worse.
People in the world may think that the old longevity star looks kind-hearted and is a god of auspiciousness. Although he cannot be said to be weak in terms of cultivation, he seems a bit mediocre in front of many fierce beings.
But in fact, the old man in Antarctica, also known as the longevity star, is a very terrifying existence, and he is the top emperor!!
Although Ming Yaksha is also an emperor, in front of an existence of the level of Old Man Antarctic, he is destined to be a little brother.
It's just that even gods famous for their longevity cannot achieve true transcendence. The same is naturally true for the Old Man of Antarctica. His lifespan is indeed much longer than that of other gods, but in fact there will be a time when his life ends. .
No one wants to die, not even the gods.
Old Man Anji didn't want to think that as a god of longevity with followers all over the world, he would eventually reach the end of his lifespan. It seemed like a shame to him.
But beings of this level do not need to rely on vicious methods such as blood sacrifices to stay alive.
The old man in Antarctica has his own methods.
He calculated the time, and when his life was about to come to an end, he began to retreat to the Death Gate to condense the Tao Fruit.
Once the Tao Fruit is condensed, he can live another life.
Originally everything was normal, everything was moving forward according to the established trajectory, but the old man in Antarctica was the only one left behind, the little boy who was rescued by him and followed him to practice.
The specific process is unknown to later generations. According to limited written records:
Just when the old man in Antarctica was concentrating on the Tao Fruit, the boy boy betrayed the enemy and stole the fruit. After that, the Penglai Island closed down and the old man Anji's life and death were unknown. The boy boy escaped and was nowhere to be found.
Thousands of years later, the heaven collapsed, and the turtle boy reappeared in the world. He ascended to the throne and became the emperor, with the divine name of fish immortal...
