Chapter 12 Chapter Eleven Bloody Rebirth

In order not to miss the legendary spectacle of "Rain God's Tears", the three of Luo Fei got up early the next day and followed Lao Wang to the square in front of the temple. Many villagers have already gathered in the square, and the number is still increasing gradually.Standing at the gate of the Dragon King Temple were two strong and capable young men, their gazes were sweeping around the crowd, and their expressions were very serious. The villagers who had arrived each found a suitable position and stood upright. Although there were many people in the square, they could not hear any noise.Luo Fei wondered secretly in his heart, and softly asked Lao Wang beside him: "Those two standing in front, do you have your white leader?"

Old Wang shook his head: "Chief Bai hasn't come yet." Luo Fei smiled: "Then they are also people around Chief Bai?" Lao Wang nodded silently, which was his answer. For this white leader who has not yet appeared, Luo Fei has already developed a strong interest.In any case, it is definitely not a simple person who can erect such a majesty in the village. At this time, there were already one or two thousand people standing in the open space, and it seemed that the entire village had arrived.The offerings dedicated to the Rain God couldn't fit on the incense table, and some were simply placed outside the temple.

After a while, there was a small commotion in the crowd, and everyone turned around one after another, looking towards the direction where the west end of the square connected to the stockade.Luo Fei's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself: This must be Chief Bai. Sure enough, following the gazes of the crowd, I saw a man bypassing the crowd and walking in the direction of the Dragon King Temple.This person looked to be in his thirties. Although he was thin, he was tall, and he had an innate tough temperament all over his body.He stepped forward with his long legs, and soon came to the gate of the Dragon King Temple. The two young men greeted him respectfully, and then said something to him.

Luo Fei guessed right, this man is Bai Jian'e, the leader of Mihong village.The two young men were Wu Qun and Zhao Liwen, his closest subordinates.At this time, Wu Qun was lowering his voice, telling him with a little anxiety: "Boss, Xue Mingfei hasn't come yet." Bai Jian'e immediately frowned.This Xue Mingfei can be regarded as his most capable assistant, and he has never delayed the things he ordered. Could it be that something went wrong with him today?While he was thinking, he put his hands behind his back, and his sword-like gaze quickly swept across the crowd. Three strangers with unique temperament immediately entered Bai Jian'e's sight, and he immediately judged that these three people were definitely not ordinary visitors.Especially the young man in the middle, although his expression is calm, his eyes are extremely sharp, as if he can see through any secrets.

Without hesitation, Bai Jian'e walked towards the three of them, and the crowd automatically parted, leaving a passage for him. Bai Jian'e stopped in front of the three of them, looked everyone up and down, and finally landed on the young man in the middle, and asked, "Where are you from?" Of course the young man was Luo Fei.Bai Jian'e has a pair of upside-down eagle eyes, ordinary people would feel uncomfortable under his gaze, but Luo Fei didn't care, he smiled lightly and replied: "I will discuss some things in detail with Chief Bai , it is better not to delay the important event of worshiping the Rain God."

Bai Jianxi nodded, knowing in his heart that these people really came for something.But since the other party doesn't want to have a deep chat, it doesn't make much sense for me to force myself.He also smiled, but his tone became more polite: "You should stand aside for a while, we will perform a big prostration ceremony later, it will be inconvenient for you to stand in the crowd." His request was not excessive, Luo Fei and the three of them didn't say much, they withdrew from the crowd together, and stood at the west intersection leading to the village and waited quietly.

Bai Jian'e glanced at his villagers at this time, and asked loudly: "Has anyone of you seen Xue Mingfei?" "I've seen it." Lao Wang was not far from him, and immediately replied respectfully, "I saw him last night when I came to offer sacrifices. After he came, I went back." "En." Bai Jian'e lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, "Don't wait for him, let's start." After finishing speaking, Bai Jian'e walked quickly to the Dragon King Temple, adjusted his clothes, and entered the temple first, followed closely by Wu Qun and Zhao Liwen.

Bai Jian'e came to the Rain God Statue, and solemnly bowed to the ground.Wu Qun, Zhao Liwen and the villagers in the square followed suit one after another. For a while, inside and outside the temple, the villagers of Mihong village knelt together, and only Luo Fei stood upright outside the circle. Bai Jian'e was kneeling in front of a futon under the statue.He straightened his body and read aloud: "Third Lord Li Dingguo, the guardian of the sky, the guardian of the Ruyi treasure, the third master of the Chizi, Li Dingguo, the gods, the rain has been cut off for more than a month in Mihong village, and if there is no more rain, the whole village will have no harvest this year! Bai Jianxi led all the villagers to five One thousand eight hundred and thirty-two people from one hundred and forty-three households begged God to be merciful and shed tears!"

After finishing speaking, he slammed his head on the futon in front of him. This time he used all the strength in his body, and he knocked on the futon with a "boom" in thought! The villagers also cried out in unison: "I beg God to be merciful and shed tears!" Then they all kowtowed. Such chanting and prostration were repeated three times in total, and then the villagers raised their heads again, and all their eyes were raised to look at the statue of the Rain God in the Dragon King Temple, as if they were waiting for something. The three of Luo Fei naturally knew that everyone was looking forward to the Rain God's tears, but they were standing in a remote position, but they couldn't directly see the current situation of the Rain God Statue, so they couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

Suddenly, Bai Jian'e in the temple let out a "Huh", as if he was very surprised.Immediately, the villagers in the front row also reacted, and there was an uncontrollable commotion.The scope of this commotion spread wider and wider, and everyone stared wide-eyed at the direction of the Rain God Statue in the temple, with inconceivable horror on their faces. Finally, someone couldn't help but yelled loudly: "God! God, God is bleeding!" This shout was like dropping another bomb in the commotion of the crowd, and everyone panicked and talked a lot.Old Wang also saw the situation in the temple clearly at this time, and he was so frightened that he prostrated himself on the ground, never daring to raise his head again, and chant in a trembling voice: "Respect the gods and be merciful, respect the gods and be merciful!"

A young man next to him seemed more courageous. He stood up and looked around, asking in astonishment, "What's going on here!" No one could answer his question, and an atmosphere of fear and bewilderment enveloped the audience.A few young children knelt among the adults. Although they couldn't see what was going on in the temple, the reaction of the adults around them was enough to make them cry in fright.The originally solemn and solemn sacrificial scene suddenly became chaotic! Naturally, the three of Luo Fei couldn't stay still, there was no need to discuss, they took steps almost at the same time, and walked quickly towards the Dragon King Temple, wanting to see what happened. The three of them bypassed the crowd. Although they were getting closer to the Dragon King Temple, the angle of sight became smaller.Seeing that he was less than ten meters away from the temple gate, suddenly a figure flashed, Bai Jianxi stood up and stood in front of the gate, Wu Qun and Zhao Liwen followed closely behind him. "Everyone kneel down! Don't make a mess!" Bai Jian'e's loud voice sounded in the square, with a supreme majesty, the crowd immediately fell silent, and even the children stopped crying.The eyes of the villagers were all focused on Bai Jian'e's tall figure. Obviously at such an extraordinary moment, the leader had become the only savior in their spiritual world. "You three don't move either!" Bai Jian'e pointed at Luo Fei and the others and sternly said, "This is a matter in our village, you don't want to come here!" The opponent's attitude was extremely resolute and severe, Luo Fei and the three had no choice but to stop.After all, they are here only as guests. It is not only inappropriate, but also not necessary to openly violate the owner's wishes. Seeing that the situation was basically controlled by him, Bai Jian'e's expression softened a little.After bowing his head and thinking for a while, he looked at his villagers again and asked loudly, "Where is Xue Mingfei? Has Xue Mingfei come yet?" All the villagers looked at each other in blank dismay, but none of them responded.For a while, the huge square was silent.Even Luo Fei couldn't help wondering: Where did this Xue Mingfei go? And Xue Mingfei's disappearance, will it have any connection with the strange events that happened in the temple? All the people present were puzzled by the same question.In this situation, Xue Mingfei appeared by himself. Since everyone's attention had been focused on the direction of the Dragon King Temple, no one discovered Xue Mingfei until he walked into the square. The discoverer immediately shouted Xue Mingfei's name, and everyone followed the shout. . Xue Mingfei came from the direction of the jungle on the east side of the square.His body was hunched over, his movements were slow, his steps were frivolous, and he looked extremely weak, as if he might fall to the ground at any time. Everyone stared at him with wide eyes, full of surprise and confusion.They stood there blankly, and none of them thought of going to help him. Even if someone thought of it, I'm afraid they wouldn't dare to go forward at this time. Because Xue Mingfei's current state looks really weird: he doesn't have any clothes on his whole body, and he doesn't even wear shoes and socks on his feet.He just walked over naked, revealing a piece of pale skin. Against the backdrop of the morning light, Xue Mingfei's skin was so ghastly white that he didn't even have a trace of blood.Combined with his sluggish demeanor, he didn't look like a living person at all, just like a corpse just crawled out of the grave. He just walked forward slowly like this, maybe he shouldn't be called to go, "moving" is more appropriate to describe it.He didn't seem to hear the discussions of the villagers at all, and he couldn't feel the surprised eyes focused on him.He just tried his best to support his body, and moved step by step in the direction of the Dragon King Temple. The three of Luo Fei were standing at the south corner of the Dragon King Temple, watching Xue Mingfei move past them. The moment the man passed by, Luo Fei clearly felt a gloomy feeling, which came from the man's eyes. There was a palpitating cold light in those eyes, revealing extreme fear and despair.However, his spirit has not completely collapsed, at least there is still a trace of human vitality flowing in the cold light.He kept his eyes on the direction of the Dragon King Temple, and every time he took a step closer, there was more anticipation on his stiff face. This seems to be a person who has stepped into hell with one foot, and the Dragon King Temple is his last place of salvation. Bai Jian'e obviously didn't expect such a situation to happen.He watched in astonishment that this most powerful assistant was slowly walking towards him in such a weird way, and only when the other party was within two meters did he suddenly come back to his senses and asked, "Xue Mingfei! What are you doing? What are you doing?" What's wrong?" Xue Mingfei ignored the leader's question, like a puppet that lost its soul, he still only wanted to go to the Dragon King Temple. "Go and help him!" Bai Jian'e turned his head and told Wu Qun and Zhao Liwen beside him. Seeing Xue Mingfei's appearance, Wu Qun and Zhao Liwen also felt chills in their hearts, but the leader gave an order, so they had no choice but to step forward, trying to support the pale naked body from left to right. When they dodged to look at the temple gate, Xue Mingfei lost sight of obstacles and nailed it directly to the statue of the Rain God in the temple.He seemed to have seen the most terrifying scene in the world, and his body trembled violently.Then he raised one hand, pointed in the direction of the throne, and burst into a hysterical laugh: "Haha...hahaha...my blood! That's my blood! He, he sucked all my blood! Haha Ha ha……" It was a desperate laughter bursting out of extreme fear, hoarse and dry, almost crying at the end, making the listener's hair stand on end. Everyone was stunned by the laughter and the terrible words in the laughter, even Bai Jian'e couldn't help turning his head and glanced in the direction Xue Mingfei was pointing at. Suddenly, Xue Mingfei's laughter stopped abruptly, and then his body swayed twice, and he collapsed limply like a piece of cooked noodles. The villagers made a loud noise, and the sound made Bai Jian'e wake up from his stupor. He gritted his teeth, and with a resolute look on his face, he shouted: "Don't panic! I'm here!" Inspired by the leader's spirit, the villagers temporarily regained their calm.But seeing the life-threatening event happening before his eyes, Luo Fei could no longer sit on the sidelines and watch. He took two steps forward and came to the Dragon King Temple.Yue Dongbei couldn't hold back for a long time, and immediately followed closely.Zhou Liwei seemed to be serious about his status, but he hesitated for a moment, and still rushed over. "What are you doing here!" Bai Jian'e seemed extremely wary of these strangers, "Back back!" "I'm a policeman!" Luo Fei clarified his identity. He pointed to Xue Mingfei who was lying on the ground and said, "I have an obligation to be responsible for this person's safety." "Whether the police or not, I have the final say here!" Bai Jian'e widened his eyes, "Drive them away!" Wu Qun and Zhao Liwen dodged and stopped in front of Luo Fei and the others.Yue Dongbei was not interested in Xue Mingfei's safety at all. He just wanted to know what happened to the statue of the Rain God. At this time, the other party stepped forward and blocked his sight. He was already arrogant and rude, so he pushed Wu Qun with his hand Ba: "Get out of the way, you guys are too domineering!" But they don't know that the folk customs in this cottage have always been tough, and Yue Dongbei's attack is already extremely provocative in their eyes.Wu Qun and Zhao Liwen's expressions immediately changed. They both moved their hands at the same time, each pulled out a gleaming machete from nowhere, and compared them in front of the three of them. Yue Dongbei was at a loss and blushed: "What... what is this for?" Luo Fei was afraid that Yue Dongbei would be in danger, so he quickly pulled him behind him, and at the same time said sincerely: "We didn't come here to cause trouble. Now, the most important thing is to save people." "Master Baizhai. Although the situation is chaotic, you still have to distinguish between friends and enemies. We are all people of status. This is Officer Luo, and this Mr. Yue is also a very learned person." Zhou Liwei, who had been silent all this time, was at this time He took a step forward, pointed to the three people on his side and said one by one, "My surname is Zhou, and I am a doctor. You need my help now, Lord Baizhai, you should understand this." Zhou Liwei especially emphasized the word "doctor", and Bai Jian'e seemed to be touched. He fixed his eyes and stared at the other party.Zhou Liwei didn't flinch, and looked at each other proudly.Finally, the nerves on Bai Jian'e's face relaxed, and he waved his hands at his two hands: "You all step back, let him see what happened to Xue Mingfei." Wu Qun and Zhao Liwen put away their knives and stepped behind Bai Jian'e.Zhou Liwei bent down, hugged Xue Mingfei's upper body, and put his finger on his pulse.Luo Fei also squatted down, waiting with concern. Soon, Zhou Liwei said with a serious expression: "His body is very weak, and his life is in danger at any time. It should be caused by too much blood loss." "Blood loss?! How did you lose blood?" Bai Jian'e was very concerned about Xue Mingfei's condition, but he was unwilling to kneel down in front of the villagers.But when he heard Zhou Liwei's diagnosis, he couldn't help crying out in confusion. Luo Fei also found it difficult to understand.Xue Mingfei was lying naked in front of everyone, everyone could see clearly, he didn't even have a tiny scar all over his body, how could he lose too much blood? Xue Mingfei was already in a semi-comatose state, but at this moment he suddenly opened his eyes again, and murmured in a weak voice: "It's him, he...sucked all my blood..." His pupils obviously dilated a lot. Bai Jian'e lowered his body slightly and looked into Xue Mingfei's eyes: "Who? Who hurt you? Tell me, and I will avenge you!" The corner of Xue Mingfei's mouth twitched slightly, and then his dead fish-like eyes widened, but there was no brilliance of life in them. "...revenge? Yes...he came to take revenge...he was resurrected...with my blood! Devil! He...he will not let us go, he is in hell...waiting for us!" Xue Mingfei used a After finishing these words in a suffocating tone, his sanity was blurred, his eyes were empty, and he flicked around aimlessly, but his fingers firmly pointed in one direction. The people around him all felt their hearts tense, and then looked in that direction in unison. The statue of the rain god Li Dingguo in the Dragon King Temple! Luo Fei had already been to the Dragon King Temple last night, but at that time the candlelight was dim, so he didn't pay attention to observe the statue.Now is the real time to see the face of the "Rain God".I saw that the cast of the statue was a majestic middle-aged man, with thick eyebrows and long beard, high nose and sword eyes, dressed in golden armor, and holding a long sword in his right hand. A sense of power to resist. But at this time, this sense of power is undoubtedly exaggerated with a full horror color, because his whole body is mottled and dripping, with bright red blood flowing and dripping everywhere! What is especially shocking is that in his wide-open eyes, blood is still gurgling out one after another! Where the bloody eyes of the statue were staring, Xue Mingfei sadly swallowed his last breath in this world.He seems to be witnessing the bloody rebirth of the "devil" with his own death! There was silence in the square, and a feeling of fear and uneasiness spread unstoppably.Luo Fei frowned tightly, and the Dragon King Temple—the God of Rain—Li Dingguo—wept and rained. He originally thought that these were just a small episode in the process of pursuing the Longzhou case, but Xue Mingfei's last words led to another What does the mysterious "demon" mean? Zhou Liwei had no time for other reasons, and concentrated on examining Xue Mingfei's body.Yes, the dead body is the most direct clue to this bizarre death.Luo Fei believes in Zhou Liwei's professional level and thinking ability, will he discover something? All the villagers in Mi Hong Village were silent, and the sudden and strange changes made them even have no courage to discuss.In the focus of their sights, Bai Jian'e stood at the gate of the Dragon King Temple in a daze. He could straighten his body, but he couldn't hide the confusion in his eyes. Only Yue Dongbei looked ready to move, stretching his neck vigorously to look into the Dragon King Temple.If it wasn't for the lingering fear in his heart just now when the swords were facing each other, he might have been unable to restrain himself and wanted to break into the temple. The air seemed to freeze. In such an atmosphere, a group of black clouds quietly pushed into the sky above the village. The originally bright morning light was gradually obscured, and the square looked even more gloomy. This change seemed to have touched a certain nerve in Bai Jian'e. He suddenly woke up, took a step outside the temple, pointed at Xue Mingfei's body and asked, "Is he... dead?" Zhou Liwei nodded with certainty. Bai Jian'e's eyes narrowed for a moment, and they all gathered together, and his expression also became resolute again.Then he faced the villagers in the square and said loudly: "You all saw that the god is weeping blood! I can also tell you that Xue Mingfei is dead!" The place where the villagers knelt was still some distance away from the Dragon King Temple, and they could only take a rough look at what happened at the gate of the temple. Only then did they know the seriousness of the situation, and a commotion broke out immediately. Seeing this situation, Luo Fei and Zhou Liwei looked at each other, both a little strange.These few words of Bai Jian'e did harm to the control of the scene, but I don't know what his intention was. Bai Jian'e raised his hand, and the noise in the square gradually stopped.Then he turned around and walked towards the temple with big strides. When he passed the door, he gave a soft command: "Both of you hold the door, and no one will be allowed in!" Wu Qun and Zhao Liwen held swords in their hands, and looked at each other outside the temple. Bai Jian'e knelt down in front of the god statue, and said in a clear voice: "God is above! My Nihong village is completely loyal to the god. The god is weeping blood today, and Bai Jian'e is terrified. Please respect where you offend. God expresses it!" After saying these words, he raised his hands high, bowed to the ground, knocked his head heavily on the futon, and couldn't get up for a long time. The villagers quickly bowed down and shouted in unison: "Please show me clearly!" The statue "Li Dingguo" still has blood seeping from his eyes, so what else can "he" say? Luo Fei faintly felt that Bai Jian'e was up to something mysterious, but he couldn't figure it out.While he was in confusion, he suddenly saw Bai Jian'e turned over and jumped up, and rushed to the outside of the temple in two or three steps, his face sank like water, his eyes wide open, looking extremely angry. "Who didn't obey my order, came to the temple before dawn today, and disturbed the god?!" He faced the villagers and asked sharply. The villagers looked at each other in blank dismay, no one dared to respond.After a while, the old king in the crowd suddenly kowtowed again and again, and said in a trembling voice: "I... I came to offer sacrifices, but it was... last night, it can't... it can't be counted as today..." Bai Jian's two sword-like gazes immediately shot towards Old Wang, and asked: "Then what's after you? Is there anyone else coming?" "Yes, yes." Old Wang replied repeatedly as if waking up from a dream, "Xue Mingfei, Xue Mingfei came after me." "That's right." Bai Jian'e sighed, raised his head to the sky, showing a look of compassion.Then he rushed back to the temple, knelt down, and read aloud: "Xue Mingfei offended the gods, and he has reaped the consequences. I beg the gods to forgive and show mercy, and bless your Hongzhai with good weather and peace for generations to come! God is merciful!" All the villagers kowtowed and chanted.Bai Jian'e's words undoubtedly made them "understand" the whole story, and a big rock fell to the ground.Although there was still some uneasiness in my heart, the cry of "Respect God and Mercy" was particularly neat and resounding! Luo Fei stared at Bai Jian'e, his heart was clear.He nodded secretly: This Lord Baizhai is really a powerful character!
