Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 235: Angered God?
Just as Zhang Hao was thinking.

"what!!"

Not far away, a scream was heard.

Zhang Hao knew the situation was not good, so he said to the people beside him, "You guys stay here and guard it. I'll go take a look."

After saying that, he immediately ran towards the direction of the sound.

"What happened?" Zhang Hao asked breathlessly.

The villagers guarding the door pointed up there and said, "Snakes, all the snakes are crawling up there!!!"

Zhang Hao looked in the direction of the finger and saw ten dark red snakes on the roof. Even in the dark night, the dark red color of their bodies could be seen.

Moreover, each venomous snake is at least two meters long and the size of a fist, and looks extremely terrifying.

At this time, the fire at the altar was about to reach the roof.

"Keep watching. The fire is about to reach the roof. As long as we don't let these poisonous snakes come down, they will definitely die." Zhang Hao analyzed.

As a result, I just finished speaking.

Ten dark red poisonous snakes on the roof suddenly jumped down from it, forming a perfect parabola in the air, and landed steadily on the ground, less than two meters away from them.

All the villagers who were guarding there were at a loss when they saw this. They looked at the poisonous snake that fell to the ground with horror, began to swallow their saliva, and unconsciously held the weapons in their hands tighter.

Zhang Hao's forehead was also covered in sweat at this time, and he also did not dare to act rashly.

Just as the two sides were confronting each other, suddenly.

Not far away, a scream was heard, and Zhang Hao immediately reacted, "Something happened over there!"

Randomly giving orders, "We can't let these venomous snakes leave here, otherwise, we will all die!!"

After saying that, Zhang Hao held the kitchen knife in his hand and walked towards the poisonous snake.

Seeing this, the other villagers also plucked up the courage to follow Zhang Hao.

When these ten poisonous snakes saw humans approaching, they were not afraid at all and began to spit out their tongues as a threat.

"Ah!! I'll chop you to death!!!"

Finally, some villagers couldn't bear it anymore and took the hoe in their hands and hit the place where the poisonous snake was.

The poisonous snake swam quickly to the side and dodged easily.

"Bang~" Unfortunately, the hoe missed the target. He immediately picked up the hoe and hit it again.

The second hoe hit again, but missed.

Once there is the first person who dares to use weapons, there will naturally be a second person.

All of a sudden, all the villagers attacked the poisonous snake in front of them.

No matter how magical these poisonous snakes are, no matter how fast they are, even if they are poisonous snakes in the mountains, they cannot defeat the number of people!

Soon, three of the ten poisonous snakes were killed by the villagers' hoes.

Although three poisonous snakes were killed, the villagers were not feeling well either.

During this process, thirteen people were bitten by poisonous snakes. If Zhang Hao had not been there and was quick to chop off the bitten limbs, the bitten people would probably have died on the spot.

Gradually, the fire burned down the entire altar, leaving it in ruins.

As the flames went out, the battle between the villagers of Jiyuan Village and the poisonous snakes also came to an end.

The air was filled with the smell of blood, and broken limbs were scattered on the ground. Thirteen villagers were wailing non-stop.

The apprentices moved among the crowd, applying medicine, stopping bleeding and treating the thirteen people who were bitten by poisonous snakes.

Zhang Hao, the village chief, was sitting dejectedly on a rock, his eyes wide open and his face full of resentment.

"Village chief, the thirteen injured villagers have all been bandaged. They just need to rest well from now on." The apprentice came to Zhang Hao and reported.

Hearing the apprentice's voice, Zhang Hao nodded and then sighed, "Oh!!"

Tonight, nearly a hundred villagers gathered in Jiyuan Village, preparing to use fire to besiege the poisonous snakes. At the beginning, everything went according to their plan.

However, who would have thought that these venomous snakes would actually climb onto the roof when they sensed the fire attack. At the same time, no one had expected that these venomous snakes from the mountains could actually jump down from the roof several meters high, which led to a close combat situation.

In this close combat, the people of Jiyuan Village paid the price of thirteen people losing their hands and feet, but only killed three poisonous snakes. The remaining seven poisonous snakes all ran away.

"Alright, find someone to move them back to the doctor's house and have the apprentice take good care of them. The rest of you, go back and rest."

"No one should be bitten by a venomous snake tonight."

After saying that, Zhang Hao took the machete in his hand, propped up his whole body, and stood up with difficulty.

"Okay, village chief."

After saying this, the apprentice asked the villagers to take the wounded man back to the doctor's house.

Soon, the apprentice and a group of villagers returned to the doctor's house.

"Master, I'm back!" the apprentice shouted.

Because the doctor's left leg was broken and he had difficulty moving, he was alone at home tonight.

However, the apprentice's shouting did not receive a response from the doctor.

"Eh? Master, is he asleep?" the apprentice guessed, then said to the villagers, "Put the wounded in those rooms first. I'll go check on the master."

After saying that, the apprentice pushed open the doctor's wooden door.

"Squeak!"

The unique sound of a wooden door was heard, and the moment the door was pushed open, an unbearable stench hit the apprentice in the face. He immediately covered his nose, his face turned terrified, and he shouted loudly while enduring the stench.

"Master! Master!"

The more he didn't get a response, the more nervous he became.

Because he had smelled such a stench before.

Not only he had smelled it, his master, the village chief Zhang Hao had also smelled it, on the day when he found that the village chief's wife had turned into bones.

The stench was caused by the village chief's wife turning into a pool of pus.

The apprentice walked quickly to the bed where his master was lying. In the process, he felt something wet under his feet.

He didn't dare to make any assumptions and continued walking. When he saw the scene on the bed, he was stunned as if he was struck by lightning.

I saw that there was only a black skeleton on the bed where the doctor was lying, and the left leg of the skeleton was missing.

The facts are right in front of him, and even if he doesn't believe it, he can only believe this fact.

His master was poisoned to death by a venomous snake.

The villagers who had just finished arranging the wounded heard the noise coming from inside and all walked to the door and asked, "What happened?"

As soon as they asked, they also smelled a foul odor. This odor brought back their memories, and they also realized that the doctor was dead.

"The doctor is dead!!"

"Didn't the doctor cut off his own legs? How could he die?"

"Does that mean that once bitten by a poisonous snake, even if the injured part is cut off, the person will still die?"

These words were like a haze hanging over people's hearts. They looked at the wounded they had just sent in with sympathy and shook their heads helplessly.

At this time, the apprentice walked out of the room with red eyes, holding a package in his hand, and said to everyone, "Go tell the village chief that my master is dead. Cutting off the bite will not cure the snake venom!"

After saying that, he hunched over, holding the package in his hand, and walked outside.

Seeing this, everyone left the doctor's house.

Zhang Hao suppressed his grief and directed the villagers to clean up the mess at the altar.

"Village Chief, something bad has happened!"

"Village Chief, something bad has happened!"

"Village Chief, something bad has happened!"

A shout was heard in the darkness in the distance. Zhang Hao looked up and saw a torch appear in the darkness, running towards them quickly.

After a while, several people appeared in front of Zhang Hao, panting. "Village. Village. Chief. Lang. Lang. Doctor is dead."

Several people told Zhang Hao what happened to the doctor in a disjointed manner. After listening to it, Zhang Hao was shocked and completely collapsed on the ground. His eyes became empty and he kept muttering to himself.

"The doctor is dead, the doctor is dead, the doctor is dead."

The villagers who were cleaning up the mess heard the noise and gathered around.

"what happened?"

"Village chief, why are you sitting on the ground?"

"Village chief, the ground is cold, get up quickly."

"Didn't you send the wounded to the doctor's house? Why are you back?"

Someone looked at the people who were delivering the message and asked.

"We just came out of the doctor's house and learned that the doctor is dead, his limbs are broken, and he can't cure the snake venom!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a huge wave was set off in the crowd, and some women even collapsed on the ground like Zhang Hao.

"Ah~ The doctor is dead, my man is beyond saving?"

"My man was just bitten by a snake and I just cut his hand off. How can he be hopeless?"

"Impossible, you are lying to us, right?!"

For a moment, the ruins were filled with grief and no one could accept this.

Some people had given up struggling and just lay on the ground.

"Tonight, the poisonous snake wasn't killed, and the people weren't saved. Our Jiyuan Village is completely finished!!"

"It won't be long before our Jiyuan Village will be slaughtered by poisonous snakes just like Shitou Village!"

"Instead of worrying about being bitten by a poisonous snake every day, it would be better to commit suicide!!"

All the negative emotions burst out at the same time, and some people even committed suicide because they could not bear such a blow.

For a moment, the entire Jiyuan Village was dyed red with blood, including chickens, snakes, and people.
Early the next morning.

A matchmaker who was over fifty years old, had a big black mole at the corner of her mouth, and was wearing red linen clothes, came to the gate of Jiyuan Village with several portraits in her hands.

"Today is the annual matchmaking event. I wonder how many couples can be found in Jiyuan Village this time?"

The matchmaker said as she walked, wondering what the results would be this time.

When she walked to the village gate, she saw a cloud of black smoke rising from the middle of Jiyuan Village, as if there had just been a fire.

Moreover, the entire Jiyuan Village is very quiet.

"Huh? What's going on in this Jiyuan Village? They raise chickens for a living, and yet there's no crowing so early in the morning?"

As the matchmaker spoke, she walked towards the place where the black smoke was coming out.

All along the way, she could smell a fishy odor.

"The chickens raised in Jiyuan Village poop so stinky? What do they eat?"

After saying that, she walked to the place where the black smoke was coming out.

"what!!!"

Seeing this scene, the matchmaker screamed.

The scene before her was enough for her to remember for a lifetime.

The ground was littered with corpses, many with broken hands and feet. Moreover, every corpse was black, as if stained with ink, which frightened the already timid matchmaker.

“Someone’s dead! Someone’s dead! Someone’s dead!!”

The matchmaker screamed and ran outside.

While running, my legs would occasionally go weak and I would fall to the ground.

The matchmaker ran from the center of Jiyuan Village to the village gate, and she didn't know how many times her legs gave out and she fell.

Matchmaker Village.

Matchmaker Village is the most popular village in the mountains, except for Dahuangbian Village.

This is because any older lady here will become a matchmaker, and each matchmaker has a large amount of information on single men and women.

In the nearby villages, almost everyone who wants to get married has to go through the matchmaker in the matchmaker village.

At this time, a group of matchmakers gathered at the entrance of the village to discuss this year's blind date arrangements.

"Huh? Where's Cuihua?" someone asked.

"Cuihua, you went to Jiyuan Village early this morning. You should be back soon, right?"

Just finished.

Cuihua's voice came from outside the village.

"Help! Help! Everyone in Jiyuan Village is dead!"

In the villages in the mountains, if there is one thing that never gets old, it is undoubtedly gossip, especially explosive gossip.

When all the matchmakers heard the noise coming from outside the village, their gossipy hearts were suddenly ignited. When Cuihua hurriedly ran back to the village, others immediately asked.

"what happened?"

"Cuihua, what did you just say? I can't hear you clearly?"

"Cuihua, you went to Jiyuan Village this morning, why are you back so early?"

The barrage of questions left Cuihua, who had just returned to the village, with no time to catch her breath.

After a while, Cuihua finally spoke.

"I originally wanted to go to Jiyuan Village early this morning to help someone find a good marriage, but..."

As she spoke, Cuihua's face was filled with fear, as if she had experienced something horrific that she had never experienced in her life.

"What do you think? What's the result?" someone asked.

“Gulp—” Cuihua swallowed before continuing, “When I arrived at Jiyuan Village, I found that no one was there. Only black smoke was rising from the center of the village.”

"I walked quickly over there, and on the way, I could only smell a fishy smell in the air. At first, I thought it was the smell of chicken feces from the chickens in Jiyuan Village."

"The result." When she said this, Cuihua's voice suddenly became high-pitched, and the fear on her face became even more intense.

"I found that in the center of Jiyuan Village, the ground was stained red with blood. There were hundreds of corpses lying on the ground, like a mass grave. Moreover, some of the corpses had broken hands and feet."

"Also, underneath the corpse, there were pools of black pus. The stench was unbearable. It was definitely a smell I had never smelled in my life."

Cuihua was retching as she spoke. The disgusting scene appeared in her mind again and lingered for a long time.

The matchmakers who were listening to Cuihua were all stunned, with fear, shock, and disbelief on their faces.

"Cuihua, your storytelling skills are comparable to those of the street storytellers. You don't need to be a matchmaker anymore!!"

"Cuihua, it seems that there are a lot of people in Jiyuan Village who need blind dates this year. Otherwise, why would they make up stories to scare us and tell us not to go to Jiyuan Village?"

Hearing that someone didn't believe her, Cuihua suddenly became anxious, "I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, go to Jiyuan Village and see for yourself. Of course, if you get scared, it's none of my business!!"

Cuihua made a statement in advance.

When everyone heard Cuihua's confident words, most of them believed her and started talking about it.

"Everyone in Jiyuan Village died, and their deaths were tragic. Who did it?"

"Could this be done by a human? Can a human do such a thing?"

"What kind of animal could that be? Jiyuan Village is a hundred miles away from the mountains. What kind of creature could go so far and massacre a village?!"

"Could it be that Jiyuan Village angered the gods? Otherwise, how could they die so miserably?"

"You said that everyone in Jiyuan Village died. Our Matchmaker Village isn't far away, so it must have been massacred there too, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell into panic, and everyone felt insecure for a moment.
