God's Gift

Achou was scolded by Grandma Li, but he said nothing, like a silent wooden stake.

Ye Li stood aside without saying anything. Yu Youyou leaned against her legs and looked at Achou curiously.

Perhaps Achou noticed Ye Li's gaze and buried his head even lower. His dull hair due to malnutrition fell down, covering the birthmark on his face.

"You still know how to lose face? The whole village knows that you like that man Chen Qingqiu. Why don't you think about your own shame?" Granny Li was so angry that her voice was shaking.

"He's a good person, and it's not shameful for me to like him." Ah Chou, who had been gloomy all the time, finally spoke at this time.

After saying that, she raised her hand and touched the birthmark on her face, then added another sentence.

"It's embarrassing to be liked by someone like me."

"Nonsense!" Granny Li shouted angrily. She looked at the birthmark on Ah Chou's face, her dim eyes turning red. "What's wrong with being ugly? I'm ugly too. I've been ugly all my life. So what?"

“This is your blessing in this village!”

When Ye Li heard what Grandma Li said, his eyes froze for a second, and he looked at Grandma Li meaningfully.

luck.

Why is this again?

Yu Youyou squatted beside Ye Li and yawned.

After saying this, Granny Li seemed to have thought of something. She glanced at Ye Li next to her, paused for a few seconds, and then continued, "Don't follow that Chen Qingqiu in the future. Who knows what he will do to you."

After saying that, she turned back to the house, took out a small cloth bag, handed it to Ah Chou, and said, "Go back, or you will be beaten by your father again."

Achou looked at the cloth bag in his hand, turned around and walked out.

Granny Li then looked at Ye Li and sighed, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Ye Li shook her head. She had already learned about Chen Qingqiu from the clan leader's daughter-in-law, and could guess the relationship between Achou and Chen Qingqiu, so she was not too surprised.

After saying this, Grandma Li picked up a hoe and went to work in the fields.

On the mountain opposite the village, Lu Keming stood in the Buddhist temple, looking at the bloodstains in the incense altar with an unclear look in his eyes.

That was freshly coagulated blood.

He glanced around the corner of the Buddhist temple and didn't see any corpses around.

Lu Keming twisted his fingers and looked up at the Thousand-Faced Buddha in the clay niche with an indifferent expression.

The old patriarch, who looked demented, was standing beside him and Anthony, looking up at the Ten Thousand-Faced Buddha.

"Tell me, where did this thing come from?" Lu Keming took a look, lowered his eyes casually, rubbed the ring on his finger, and asked lightly.

“I… don’t know…” The old patriarch spoke slowly, his lips trembling, and he spoke each word with difficulty from his throat.

Lu Keming was not surprised by his answer, and continued to ask expressionlessly: "What is the purpose of your worshipping it?"

"bless……"

He asked a question and the old patriarch answered it.

After hearing what the old patriarch said, Anthony stepped forward and said, "Master, I have collected information about this village. Seven years ago, a major earthquake occurred in this area, and several surrounding villages were buried by the landslide. Only Lijia Village was left unscathed."

"Twenty years ago, this place had heavy rain for more than ten days in a row. Flash floods occurred in the valley and hundreds of people died. However, Lijia Village, which is close to the river, remained unscathed."

"A few hundred years ago, there was a plague in this area. The disease spread for thousands of miles, but Lijia Village remained intact."

"There are dozens of similar incidents, big and small. It seems that no matter what kind of disaster it is, Lijia Village can escape unscathed. It is said outside that Lijia Village is a blessed land..." Anthony raised his eyes to glance at the Thousand-Faced Buddha and added: "Now it seems that it is probably because of this evil Buddha."

After listening to this, Lu Keming sneered, with a deep look in his eyes, "It seems that this ten thousand-faced Buddha has really blessed Lijia Village for hundreds of years."

He raised a sarcastic arc at the corner of his mouth, turned to look at the confused old patriarch, and asked meaningfully:

"What did you exchange for such a great benefit?"

At this point, the old patriarch stopped talking.

Lu Keming took a step towards the old patriarch, bent down slightly, put his eyes on the same level as the old patriarch, and stared into his eyes.

"It's hidden quite deeply."

However, Lu Keming did not need his answer. He saw more darkness, and he knew that this was nothing more than a matter of life for life.

Lu Keming walked to the incense altar, looked at the incense altar stained red with blood, and asked, "Is this too?"

The old patriarch's chaotic eyes looked towards the incense altar, but as if stimulated by something, he suddenly trembled and his lips hummed.

"six……"

"What?" Lu Keming listened to the numbers the old patriarch was muttering, turned around and looked at the old patriarch.

"Master, he said six." Anthony answered smartly.

Lu Keming was speechless for a second and looked at Anthony. Anthony looked at Lu Keming's eyes and closed his mouth silently again.

Over there, the old village chief's body was shaking more and more, and the words he uttered became more and more unclear.

“Ten thousand…ten thousand…Buddhas…”

Lu Keming frowned and asked, "What?"

Ten thousand Buddhas?

"Master, he's talking about the Ten Thousand-Faced Buddha." Anthony immediately responded after hearing the old patriarch's vague words.

After saying that, he smiled and turned to look at the Thousand-Faced Buddha, only to find that the Thousand-Faced Buddha had his eyes wide open, staring at the two of them intently.

At the same time, bursts of black air emanated from its body and rushed towards the two of them.

Anthony was stunned for a second, then quickly raised his hand, trying to use his mental power to control the Ten Thousand-Faced Buddha, but found that his mental power was being devoured.

He withdrew his hand, took out a machine gun from the storage space, and fired at the Thousand-Faced Buddha.

The sound of gunfire rang out in the Buddhist temple. Holes appeared on the body of the Thousand-Faced Buddha, and more black fog poured out of the holes.

"Master, mental power is useless." Anthony stood in front and said with difficulty.

"The fire is on the Ten Thousand Faces Buddha." Lu Keming stared at the Ten Thousand Faces Buddha and his eyes darkened.

This Thousand-Faced Buddha is much more powerful than he thought.

The black fog covered the entire ground. The old patriarch who was originally controlled by Lu Keying suddenly regained clarity in his eyes and attacked Lu Keying.

There was a hint of impatience in Lu Keming's eyes. He gritted his teeth and raised his hand to wave behind him.

A high temperature wave rushed towards the old patriarch. The old patriarch was engulfed by the heat and his body instantly turned into ashes and fell to the ground.

After dealing with the people behind him, Lu Keming withdrew his hand and looked gloomily at the Buddha outside in front of him. Just as he was about to take action, he heard a warning from the intelligent computer.

"Warning: The intelligent computer has detected an unknown danger. Students, please evacuate as soon as possible!"

"Red warning: The AI ​​data is collapsing and can no longer protect the students. The students may be in danger of death. Please evacuate immediately!"

Lu Keming was stunned for a second. He had only heard this warning in Endless Township, when he... asked Yu Youyou to get the fire from the blood tree.

He was distracted for a second, and heard Anthony's anxious voice again, "Master, what's going on?"

Lu Keming finally came back to his senses. He closed his eyes, clenched his fingers tightly into his palms, used the pain to calm his mind, and calmed down.

The fire was very powerful at that time, and even the intelligent computer created by the fire itself, the Dark Star, could not resist it. But in the swamp castle, the intelligent computer never gave such a hint.

Could it be that the fire in the swamp castle was split into two halves and lost energy?

But Lu Keming quickly rejected this idea. The energy gap between the fire in the Swamp Castle and the fire in the Endless Township was too big. Even if it was divided into two halves by the fire in the Swamp Castle, it should not be so different from that in the Endless Township.

Why is it?

Lu Keming twirled his fingers, and the green flame of Endless Township suddenly flashed through his mind. He suddenly opened his eyes.

In the fire of Endless Country...

Contains Oshi's heart.
