God's Gift

Chen Qingqiu had been captured and taken to the temple. No one knew what had happened. After a while, the villagers escorted the weak girls and the injured Chen Qingqiu along the cliff, walked around the cliff on a steep path, and came to the back of the cliff.

Chen Qingqiu was relatively calm along the way and did not struggle too much. However, as he was being escorted forward by the villagers, he kept throwing pieces of colored paper on the ground under the cover of darkness.

Chen Qingqiu's actions were very subtle and cautious. The villagers did not take him seriously as he was alone, and did not pay much attention to his actions.

Before coming here, Chen Qingqiu had already contacted the police. Since he left marks along the way, the police should be able to find this place quickly.

When Lu Keming and a few others behind saw the villagers coming out, they immediately followed them.

When they followed the villagers and followed the hidden path to the back of the mountain, they realized what they had missed.

A huge stone door several meters high was embedded in the cliff. Dozens of girls were kneeling in front of the door. They were surrounded by a circle of black mist, which bound them tightly like ropes.

The old patriarch stood hunched in front of the stone gate. When the villagers arrived with the girl, he turned around and looked at them and Chen Qingqiu.

"There are still seven to go." The old patriarch didn't pay much attention to Chen Qingqiu. He just took a look and then turned his gaze to the girls.

After the girls arrived, the black fog automatically wrapped around them, and the surrounding villagers took a step back.

Chen Qingqiu looked at the black mist wrapped around the girls, with a bit more astonishment in his eyes. The black mist was obviously not some kind of technology, but something extremely supernatural.

There really are such strange things in this world, which shocked Chen Qingqiu, who had received more than ten years of scientific education.

But what made him even more unbelievable was that the villagers were actually using these girls to feed such an evil thing.

These children who disappeared from the school were still in school not long ago, dreaming about their future. Now their lively faces turned pale, and they knelt down sickly, unable to even open their eyes to look at him.

"What are you all doing?" Chen Qingqiu couldn't believe what he saw. His body was shaking as he asked in disbelief.

He glanced at the villagers and asked, "Aren't those your children? Why do you treat them like this?"

"They are sacrificing themselves for the village. This is their blessing." The old patriarch looked at Chen Qingqiu expressionlessly and said in a deep voice.

"Blessing?" Chen Qingqiu looked at the powerful clan leader in front of him and felt that everything was extremely ironic.

If it is a blessing, why don’t they come?

Isn't it because these people have no ability to resist that these people extend their evil claws to weak children?

But Chen Qingqiu knew that he couldn't anger them now.

At least wait until the police come.

But the old patriarch seemed to see through his thoughts. He laughed sinisterly and asked, "Are you waiting for the police?"

Chen Qingqiu suddenly opened his eyes wide, looked at the old patriarch who said this in disbelief, and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

"They won't come." The old patriarch smiled mysteriously. Chen Qingqiu looked at his confident look and suddenly understood what the old patriarch meant.

"Are you in the same group?" Chen Qingqiu stared at the old patriarch with a cold voice.

"Everyone must obey the Ten Thousand-Faced Buddha." The old patriarch did not answer Chen Qingqiu's question, and his eyes were filled with dark energy.

Chen Qingqiu looked into the old patriarch's eyes and suddenly realized that he had become a puppet of the Ten Thousand Faces Buddha, and that this Ten Thousand Faces Buddha had the ability to confuse people's minds.

So after such a long sacrifice, if so many people suddenly disappeared, it was impossible for outsiders not to notice it, but they were all bewitched by the Ten Thousand Faces Buddha.

Chen Qingqiu looked at the girls on the ground and suddenly felt powerless.Before coming here, he thought that everything was man-made, but now that he was facing these weird things with his own eyes, he didn't know how to fight against this supernatural ability.

"Tie him up too." The old patriarch looked at Chen Qingqiu who remained silent and gave the order.

The black mist quickly surrounded Chen Qingqiu. Chen Qingqiu looked at the mist on his body and murmured in a low voice: "What ten thousand-faced Buddha? It's just an evil ghost."

The old patriarch ignored Chen Qingqiu and turned around, continuing to look at the stone door.

"Chief, we will be able to open the Cave of Ten Thousand Buddhas tomorrow." A villager behind him walked up and stared at the door with undisguised excitement and desire in his eyes.

The old patriarch laughed deeply a few times.

Outside the stone gate, Shen Minghua and Ye Li, who had already been shocked by what they saw, looked at each other, their hearts filled with turbulent waves.

"Master, how come there is another Ten Thousand Buddha Cave?" Anthony asked softly beside Lu Keming, "We have never heard of this before?"

Lu Keming had a faint smile on his face since he saw the stone gate. After hearing Anthony's question, he turned his head and looked at Anthony, saying meaningfully:

"Who said there is none?" He raised his eyebrows, his eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the old patriarch under the stone gate, repeating what the old patriarch said before his death: "Ten thousand... Buddhas..."

"cave."

It is neither Six nor Ten Thousand Faced Buddha, but Six Heavens and Ten Thousand Buddha Cave.

Anthony didn't expect that he didn't guess any of them correctly. He scratched his head awkwardly, chuckled twice, and asked curiously, "Master, how come you are so meticulous that you even remember this."

Yu Youyou, who listened to the conversation between the two from beginning to end, rolled her eyes and shifted her gaze to Lu Keming.

Being stared at by Yu Youyou, Lu Keming coughed lightly, glanced at Shen Minghua and the other two who were still staring at the old patriarch, and whispered, "My mission is to open the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave."

"The true body and fire of the Ten Thousand-Faced Buddha should be in the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave."

"Is that so." Yu Youyou nodded in sudden realization. No wonder he didn't care about Lan Long's students helping the villagers.

"So, young master, you mean that the villagers must complete the sacrifice?" Anthony asked subconsciously after hearing Lu Keming's words.

Hearing Anthony's question, Lu Keming chuckled, his voice somewhat sarcastic: "Looking at the situation in Lijia Village, the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave must have been opened."

Otherwise, nothing could have wiped out their entire village.

As they were talking, the villagers had already turned around and prepared to leave.

Shen Minghua and the other two in front turned around decisively. Lu Keming said nothing more, and they left the place quickly.

The next morning, Ah Chou went to school as usual, but after waiting for half an hour, Chen Qingqiu, who was always punctual, did not show up for class.

Achou sat in the classroom, becoming more and more uneasy. She picked her fingers anxiously, her nails digging deeply into her flesh.

She didn't even tell Chen Qingqiu the location of the Buddhist temple, but he went there anyway.

Ah Chou stood up from his seat, ran out of the school and walked towards the mountain where the Ten Thousand Faces Buddha was.

Today is the last day. Although Ah Chou doesn’t know the specific procedures, she also remembers that they will completely sacrifice all the girls today.

Lu Keming, Yu Youyou and others were still staying at Grandma Li's house. Grandma Li went to work in the fields early this morning, but came back in a hurry at noon.

"Grandma, what happened?" Ye Li looked at Grandma Li's anxious expression and asked in confusion.

But Granny Li didn't have time to answer her question. She ran straight into the room, packed up Yu Youyou's things, and pushed Yu Youyou to Lu Keming, saying anxiously:

"Take it with you!"
