The believers in the courtyard were originally a little scared and uneasy, but now they were overjoyed. They knelt on the ground and chanted the names of the Four Emperors,
"Primitive Savior God of Ingenuity, Primitive Savior God of Origin, Xuanyang God of Salvation, Universal Savior God of Salvation …"
On the wall behind the Cult Master, there were four meticulous paintings that he had drawn personally. The one at the top was a handsome man in a green robe. The other three were on the bottom row. In the middle was a bright and beautiful young lady in a light yellow dress. Her entire body was dazzling and rays of light shot out. On her left was an emperor wearing a bright yellow robe that was surrounded by strips of mysterious yellow. On the right was a woman as cold as the moon. She held a zither in her hands, indifferent but not distant.
When the believers finished chanting the names of the Four Emperors, the middle-aged scholar Hierarch raised his right hand and pressed it down slowly.
Suddenly, the noise in the courtyard disappeared. It was silent, which showed the strict rules of the sect and the importance of the gods.
Hierarch He Yun coughed, "The Four Emperors are about to come to eliminate the crowd of demons. It's time to see your piety. Gods can tell if you are sincere or just saying it."
"It's easy to eliminate the crowd of demons, but it's hard to get rid of the pain. People can't escape death. Whether to return to the Nine Serenities and sink forever, or to serve the Four Emperors and enjoy bliss, it's only a matter of a thought!"
His expression was full of fanaticism, but he was quite disdainful in his heart. The crowd of demons was coming, and the legend of the Four Emperors was about to be exposed. It was better to take advantage of this and then bribe the guards to hide in the market where the strong and the rich were. There was enough food there, unlike the outside world where there was a daily purchase limit!
When the crowd of demons was over, if he was still alive, he could start over in another city!
Hearing that they had to show their piety, the believers were stunned and looked at each other. At this moment, He Yun's trusted subordinate, who had been planted in the crowd in advance, suddenly stood up, took out all his belongings, and ran to the four scrolls, kowtowing and shouting,
"Believer Xie Duan, pious offering, please bless the Primitive Savior God of Ingenuity."
Voices echoed from the crowd, echoing his words.
"Hurry, let's go and offer! If we're late, they'll take the lead and we won't have a place! "
"The last few offering are definitely not sincere. They will anger the Primitive Emperor and he will be sent to hell!"
The atmosphere suddenly became crazy, and many believers began to fight to be the first. He Yun watched with a smile on his face, feeling excited.
At this moment, a figure jumped down from the wall and pounced in front of He Yun. The fingers of his right hand turned into a claw and wriggled like a blooming flower, grabbing several major acupoints on He Yun's chest.
"The constable is handling a case. Everyone, squat down to avoid accidental injury!" the figure shouted loudly. His voice was clear and melodious, like the babbling of a brook.
With a bang, the door was knocked open, and a dozen government runners carrying water and fire cudgels filed in. They skillfully divided into two groups and surrounded the believers and He Yun's subordinates from the left and right.
When they heard that the arrester was handling a case, the believers subconsciously covered their heads and squatted down. When they didn't understand the situation and there was no one to incite them, they were like sheep without any resistance.
He Yun looked at the arrester in front of him. She was tall and wore a dark red arrester uniform. She looked to be in her twenties. Her eyebrows were slightly thick, but they didn't hide her delicate features. One of her legs was straight, while the other was curled up. It was as if she was accumulating strength and waiting to strike. If He Yun struggled, he would immediately receive a kick.
"What are you going to do?" He Yun was able to develop a cult from scratch, so he was definitely not a coward. At this time, he maintained his composure and shouted sternly.
After looking around, the arrester stared into He Yun's eyes and said, "In normal times, the common people believe in whatever gods and incense they burn. As long as we don't go too far, we are indeed unjustifiable. However, now that the crowd of demons is coming, you are still spreading the cult, bewitching people, plundering their belongings, and ignoring the stability of Pingle City. You should be punished!"
Her words were so genteel that even she couldn't get used to it. She wrinkled her nose and added fiercely,
"In short, boy, we have been watching you for a long time!"
He Yun's heart trembled. He pretended to be fierce, but he was actually timid at heart. He said, "You have to think carefully! I am the Oracle of the Four Saviors, and I am responsible for their arrival. If you catch me, no one will save the world. At that time, many people will die in the crowd of demons! Pingle City will also be destroyed! "
"Shut up!" The female arrester's expression changed. She gnashed her teeth and said, "Listen to me. There has never been a god who can save the world. The survival of the human race depends on our ancestors and ourselves!"
"When my father fought against the crowd of demons and died on the city wall of Pingle City, there was no god who could save the world!"
"When my grandmaster sneaked into the Nine Serenities and tried to find a way to destroy the crack, there was no god who could save the world!"
"When my master assassinated a general of the demon race and was torn into pieces, there was no god who could save the world!"
"My family of nine, and all the members of my sect died in the battle against the crowd of demons. When there was a sea of corpses, there was no god who could save the world!"
This topic made her emotional. Her eyes were misty and crystal clear, as if there were beads of tears in them. Then, she took a deep breath and said in a slow voice, which sounded tired and firm,
"In short, it is not a god who can save the human race from generation to generation. It is our ancestors who are not afraid of sacrifice. It is' us' who can face the crowd of demons with our heads held high!"
The whole yard suddenly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. All the believers had relatives and friends who had died in the crowd of demons, so they felt a little sympathetic.
But it was also because of the cruelty of sacrifice that they pinned their hopes on the illusory gods.
The female arrester tore off the four scrolls, crumpled them into a ball, and held them in her hand. Then, she turned around and walked out of the door. She waved her hand and said in a low voice,
"Take them away and put them in prison. If you need bait to deal with the demons, you can find it from them."
"Yes, Arrester Qin." The runners respected her very much. Besides, they were shocked by her words just now, so they worked harder to tie He Yun and his subordinates up and sent them to prison.
…
In the vast wilderness, unripe rice that had not been harvested could be seen from time to time. Farmers carried various kinds of cloth bags and squeezed into carriages in an orderly manner.
The horses that pulled the carriages seemed to be mixed with the blood of demons. They were covered with black scales and had great strength. Even though the carriages were crowded with people, they still walked as if they were flying. This was the result of fighting against the crowd of demons for many times.
On the left and right sides of each carriage, there were elite soldiers and Jianghu people riding on horses. They had sharp eyes and a fierce temperament. At first glance, one could tell that they were people who had been fighting for a long time.
The leader of the group was a middle-aged man with gray temples and wrinkles on the corners of his eyes and between his eyebrows. He had lost his left arm and was holding a thick long saber in his right hand. He said in a clear voice, "You should be very clear about the rules. If you fall behind on the way to Pingle City, no one will rescue you and no one will wait for you. You can only pray for your own luck."
The farmers did not say anything and kept quiet. Only the children and those under 20 years old were whispering and trying to make noise. However, they swallowed their words when they were stared at by those men on horses who were not easy to deal with.
Those who had experienced it all knew why this rule was established. It was the result of many bloody and corpses!
"Leader Li, why don't you wait and rescue?" There was a young man beside the leader. He was stunned when he heard the leader's words. He did not understand why there was such an inhumane rule.
The leader looked at him and said in a calm voice, "Every time during the crowd of demons, some teams will be caught up by the demons in order to rescue or wait for those who fall behind. From the top to the bottom, from the old to the young, no one will survive."
It did not seem to be a lot of time for this team to wait and that team to rescue. However, it might be the boundary between life and death.
"You are still young. You didn't go out of the city during the last crowd of demons. You don't know how cruel it is," the leader said calmly.
The young man still could not understand it. He opened his eyes wide and said, "But, but the demons are still nowhere to be found. It won't take long to rescue a person!"
"When there is a trace of demons, no one can run away!" the leader said in a deep voice. He pulled the reins and urged the horse to move forward.
The number of carriages was limited. Every carriage had to be packed with people. In the innermost part were young women and children. In the middle were young men and strong men with different appearances. In the outermost part were many white-haired men and women. They were at the edge and barely did not fall off the carriage with the strength of their hands.
The team moved forward quietly for a while. An old man with deep wrinkles on his face began to tremble. It seemed that he was about to fall off the carriage because he could not hold the person inside.
"Grandpa, grandpa!" His granddaughter, who was in the middle, noticed his dangerous situation. She cried and tried to reach out to hold him. For a moment, the carriage became chaotic. If it continued, more people would not be able to keep their balance.
At this time, the old man smiled and took the initiative to loosen his hands. He fell backward and his voice echoed.
"Nannan, live well!"
He fell to the ground. His muscles and bones were hurt. He could not get up for a long time.
"Grandpa …" The crying sound faded away with the carriage.
Seeing this, the young man beside the leader was about to rescue him. Suddenly, a thick-backed long saber appeared in front of him.
"Leader Li, you!" He was shocked and angry.
The leader looked at him coldly and said, "Those who delay the march will be beheaded immediately!"
His eyes were cold and full of killing intent. The young man was so frightened that he did not dare to move. He could only follow the horse and pass by the old man.
Looking at the old man who was struggling to stand up and trying to walk to Pingle City, the young man said sadly and angrily, "You, you are inhumane!"
"I can only take care of more people." The leader indifferently looked at the fast-moving team in front of him.
"They are human beings. He is also a human being. Why should we sacrifice him? Can lives also be compared with the number of people? Is the life of many people more important than the life of one person? "The young man accused the leader angrily with tears in his eyes.
"Yes." The leader answered coldly, "In the crowd of demons, as long as you are not an expert of the Exterior, the majority is more important than the minority. This is to ensure the continuation of the human race!"
The young man was stunned and looked at the leader in disbelief. This was such a cold and inhumane answer. He could not help but criticize the leader again, "Leader Li, if you are asked to sacrifice yourself to save them, are you willing to do so?"
The leader suddenly smiled and said in a low voice, "Once, a carriage overturned. My only son was on it …"
His smile was even uglier than his crying face.
The young man looked at him in astonishment. He heard the Secret Voice-sending from his teammates, "At that time, Leader Li chose to let the team continue to move forward and he stayed behind. However, he encountered a few evil spirits and lost an arm. He also failed to save his son …"
The leader stopped smiling and looked ahead coldly but firmly. The path of survival for the human race was to move forward without turning back!
…
Arrester Qin Shuanghua was so emotional that she could not control herself. She walked back home step by step. When she closed the door, she suddenly squatted down and burst into tears like a child.
"Shuanghua, what's wrong with you?" Qin Shuanglian walked out of the house dressed like a housewife.
Qin Shuanghua was shocked. She stood up abruptly and wiped her eyes with the paper in her hand. She stammered, "Big sister, aren't you in seclusion?"
Among the eleven people in the Qin family, only she and her cousin were left.
Qin Shuanglian smiled and said, "Of course I finished my seclusion."
"Finished your seclusion? Big sister, you … you have reached the Exterior Realm? " Qin Shuanghua was surprised. When she saw Qin Shuanglian nodding her head slightly, she cheered and jumped, "Exterior Realm! You are a master of the Exterior Realm! You are also a famous person in Pingle City!"
Since young, especially in the last ten years, her big sister had always been her role model and pride!
Qin Shuanglian looked at her emotional calmly. After a while, she said, "Why were you crying just now?"
Qin Shuanghua immediately felt embarrassed and said, "I caught a leader of a cult and was stimulated by him to recall what happened in my family."
Speaking of this, she suddenly realized that she was so emotional that she had been holding the paper balls and even used them to wipe her tears and snot. She spat and threw them on the ground.
"What cult?" Qin Shuanglian asked carelessly.
Qin Shuanghua said with disdain, "That guy is very vulgar. He is called the Four Saviors. Well, that's it …"
She used her nimble feet and genuine Qi to show the paper balls to her big sister.
"This is Xuanyang God the Savior, this is Primeval God the Savior, this is Almighty God the Savior …" Qin Shuanghua introduced them casually and soon showed the last one.
Qin Shuanglian had been listening with a smile. At this moment, the last portrait came into her sight. He was dressed like a fairy and had a handsome face.
Dressed like a fairy and had a handsome face … Qin Shuanglian was suddenly stunned and her pupils contracted violently.
It's him! The Ether Heaven is dead, but the Yellow Heaven is rising!
Qin Shuanghua did not notice her cousin's abnormality. She curled her lips and said, "This is the Primitive God the Savior. Actually, it's better to call him Primitive God …"
"Where is he? Where is he? " At this moment, Qin Shuanglian rushed up and grabbed her wrists. She was very anxious and interrupted her cousin's words.
Qin Shuanghua was stunned. Looking at her cousin who was blushing, she felt that she did not know her, "Who, where is he?"
She had never seen her cousin so excited, at least not in the last ten years!
"It's the person in this portrait!" Qin Shuanglian said anxiously.
"He, he is just a fake god fabricated by the head of the cult …" Qin Shuanghua did not understand why her cousin was so excited. Did she get brain damage when she broke through to the Exterior Realm?
"Where is the head of the cult?" Qin Shuanglian asked, her eyes were a little red.
Qin Shuanghua was completely frightened. She stammered, "The … the prison, big sister, you …"
Before she could finish her words, her big sister grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the prison. Qin Shuanglian's eagerness and excitement made her confused and at a loss.
…
In the prison, He Yun and several subordinates were locked in a cell. It was cold and damp, as if evil spirits would appear at any time.
When the runners left, He Yun sat down dejectedly. There was only a stack of wheat straw under his butt. All kinds of horrible consequences flashed in his mind.
I heard that during the demon crowd, the prisoners in the prison had no food and could only rely on each other to satisfy their hunger …
Just now, the arrester said that he would use us as bait to lure evil spirits into the trap …
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. After a long time, he suddenly stood up and rushed to the side of the cell. He grabbed the railing, shook it hard, and shouted miserably,
"I'm wronged, Your Excellency, I'm wronged!"
I should have knelt down and begged for mercy and offered all the property I had plundered in exchange for leniency!
The other prisoners were not surprised at this situation and continued to do their own things.
At this time, a subordinate walked to He Yun and asked confusedly, "Hierarch, why don't you pray to the Four Saviors and ask them to help us?"
Although they were his considerate subordinates, He Yun still tried to cultivate their faith, which was the guarantee of his special status.
Hearing this, He Yun gritted his teeth and said, "There is no such thing as the Four Saviors. I made them up, I made them up!"
Before he could finish his sentence, a ray of light rose from the cell behind him. Specks of fire lingered around and four people appeared inside. The leader was a handsome man dressed in green. The others were dressed in light yellow, a bright yellow robe, and a cold and otherworldly person. They were Meng Qi and the others who had not yet had time to disguise themselves.
The subordinates opened their mouths little by little, and their eyes were wide open. One of them said in a faint voice, "Hierarch, there really, really are the Four Saviors …"
He Yun was furious, "I told you, I made them up. Do you understand? I made them up!"
He turned his head and glared at his subordinates. He had never seen such blockheads before. Next, it was time to work together to get out of the cell.
As soon as he turned around, his eyes blurred, and four familiar figures appeared in front of him, exactly the same as in his dream.
Plop! The subordinates knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Welcome, Primitive Savior God of Ingenuity …"
There really is … He Yun's legs became weak, and he sat on the ground. Seeing the leader in a green robe walking toward him, his pants suddenly became wet, and he almost fainted.
What the hell are they doing? Mengqi frowned and began to operate the Yuan Xin Seal.
At this time, two figures came running. They were Qin Shuanglian and Qin Shuanghua.
All the prisoners in the cell recognized this pretty arrester, and they also knew that her sister was quite extraordinary. They immediately stopped making noise and looked at them in surprise.
Qin Shuanglian ran to the door of the cell and glanced at Mengqi. She no longer had any doubts.
Then, Qin Shuanghua saw her sister suddenly kneeling down. Her sister, who only kneeled to heaven, earth, and parents and teachers, actually kneeled on the ground!
For a moment, she did not know whether what she saw was real or an illusion.
Kneeling on the ground, Qin Shuanglian thought of her father who died on the city wall, the souls of the nine members of the Qin family, the people who died in the crowd of demons, and the heroes who sacrificed themselves for her. Suddenly, she had mixed feelings, and two lines of tears flowed down from her eyes. She kowtowed to Mengqi heavily,
"Senior, please save us!"
"Save this world!"
Her voice was hoarse and heartbreaking.
