Weird Resurrection: I Ate a God
Chapter 9 The whole town is in riot! The night watchman has awakened
It is said that people become more cunning as they age, and this phrase is a true portrayal of the leader at this moment.
The leader stole a glance at Langren, feeling a little scared, afraid that Langren would blame him for not taking care of his family. After thinking it over, he decided to put all the blame on the priest, saying that everything was instructed by the priest.
At this time, the priest sitting high in the ancestral hall did not know what he was thinking. If he knew what he was thinking, he would definitely scold him.
While the leader was thinking wildly and Li Hua was full of confidence, many people in the crowd nodded to each other, stood up, and shouted.
"I am Zhao Kun, the head of the Zhao family. Today, I will see who dares to touch my nephew Langren. Don't be afraid, nephew!"
"I am the head of the Li family, old man Li Cheng. If you dare to hurt Langren today, you will be my enemy!"
"Don't be afraid, nephew Langren. Uncle is at the peak of the recovery realm and will definitely keep you safe."
"The Li Cheng family has lost all conscience. The night watchman has protected us for more than ten years, but when he disappeared, he harmed his relatives and seized his property. It is simply abominable and deserves death. Langren has a favor to the leader, which means he has a favor to all of us. Leader, I suggest that the Li family be expelled from the town today to give justice to Langren's family!"
"..." Li Cheng opened his eyes wide and showed disbelief: "You!"
Ten thousand money shields and the corpses of evolutionary beasts in the metamorphosis period can't move them?
This is unreasonable.
Just for an injured leader and a useless night watchman who has not awakened?
Which leader can give them so many benefits like himself?
Li Cheng couldn't understand, with a ridiculous expression on his face.
At this time, a group of figures stood up unwilling to be left behind, with righteous faces, all of them were the most important figures in the town.
At this moment, many civilians watching opened their eyes wide, and their hearts were shocked.
Oh my god, the big figures in the town are actually going to fight with the largest family, the Li family, for Langren?
And those Li family masters who were kneeling on the ground looked at the patriarchs who stood up with ugly faces. They probably guessed the other party's thoughts.
These patriarchs are cunning. If Langren hadn't come back, they might have stood on the side of the Li family. Now that the disappeared Langren has returned and has become a big figure respected by even the leader, the situation is different. Now that the leader is injured, but with the protection of the patriarchs, there is no loss.
If you stand on the side of the Li family, not only will you face risks, you may also lose the opportunity to marry Langren.
If he stood on Langren's side this time, he could not only gain the favor of the leader and Langren, but also eradicate the largest family in the town, and even form an alliance with Langren to give birth to a new night watcher, which could be described as killing three birds with one stone.
Dividing the first family and obtaining the blood of the night watchers is far more cost-effective than obtaining the benefits promised by the Li family.
Although a corpse of a metamorphosis-stage evolutionary beast and 10,000 money shields are tempting, the huge family property of the Li family is even more tempting.
Li Cheng never dreamed that these families in ordinary times would not be tempted, but would be so bold as to set their sights on his family property.
"I have a doubt. I wonder why the leader calls Langren a benefactor?" During the scene, a clan leader grasped this most important point, realizing that there might be some hidden secrets, and asked with a little excitement and doubt.
His words attracted the attention of everyone, including Li Cheng.
Yes, Langren, who had disappeared for two years and was not familiar with the leader, how could he be called a benefactor by the leader in the metamorphosis period with his unawakened strength?
Could it be...
Everyone's eyes lit up, and Li Cheng was also shocked, his hands and feet turned cold. He was immersed in the pain and anger of losing his son just now, and he actually ignored this point, and only now he realized it.
"Today, I went out hunting with hunters from various tribes, and encountered an evolutionary tree at the peak of the metamorphosis period. Only I escaped by luck, but I couldn't escape death. While fleeing, I met the night watchman who had disappeared for two years in the forest..." Suddenly, the leader spoke.
He glanced at Langren and was about to continue, but saw Langren frowning slightly.
"He saved my life and killed the evolutionary tree, so..." The leader observed Langren's expression and hesitated to speak. He guessed that Langren might not want to expose too much, so he did not directly explain the scene at that time.
After the words fell, there was a "wow".
Everyone present opened their eyes wide, and there was a huge wave and shock in their hearts. The crowd was boiling!
"What?!!!!"
"The Night Watcher has awakened!"
"Oh my god, the Night Watcher has awakened! He killed the evolutionary tree at the peak of the metamorphosis period!"
The crowd was like a dynamite that had been lit, and Lang Ren looked at everyone in a daze.
What nonsense! When did I kill the evolutionary tree at the peak of the metamorphosis period? How come I didn't know?
You are slandering me!
"Heaven has eyes! The Night Watcher is above!"
"The Night Watcher is above! May you bless my family and children with a safe life!"
"I am willing to follow the Night Watcher until death!"
Like dumplings, the dense crowd knelt down in unison. There were old people with tears in their eyes, children and women, and masters, looking at Lang Ren with excitement and piety.
This scene made Lang Ren a little amused. He was indeed awakened, but not completely awakened, and not as exaggerated as the leader said. But even if he was awakened, he couldn't understand everyone's almost crazy support, and felt very surprised.
What he didn't know was that in this strange world, people were more pious and respectful of gods, ghosts and the unknown, and because he was influenced by atheists and ideological education in his previous life, he couldn't quite understand the horror and power of "faith".
In this strange world, the night watchman is a symbol of identity and ability. His bloodline is noble and powerful. Like the priest, he is the patron saint of mankind.
In Langren's cognition before rebirth, it was said that many villages had a night watchman, also called a village watchman. They were born with two less souls, five deficiencies in heaven and man, stupid during the day, and guarded the safety of the whole village alone at night, and lived a happy life every day.
As a night watchman, you can't get married for life, and you can't sit at the same table with others. They have to do all the weddings and funerals in the village. They are always the first to arrive, work hard, play with a group of little kids every day, sit at the entrance of the village and listen to the old ladies and old men chatting, go to eat or go home to eat when it's late, sleep anywhere when you're tired, and guard against evil spirits.
It is rumored that the Night Watchman suppresses eight evil spirits, three evil spirits and five diseases. Most of them are people who were very evil in their previous lives. Because they repented before death, they lost one of their three souls and two of their seven spirits in the next life. They guard a place to repay their previous life's sins.
But in this world, the Night Watchman is a real existence with mysterious abilities and noble status, which is completely different from the foolish Night Watchman. One of the most famous abilities of the Night Watchman is that he is born with the awakening of the Holy Light Realm, which can protect humans.
These Holy Light Realms can cause harm to dirty things and evolved beasts, making them afraid to approach and dispel the Weird Night. It is said that a powerful Night Watchman can protect a city!
People have long suffered from the poison of the Weird Night, and the fear of the Weird Night has been engraved in their bones, so they revere the glowing bronze statues and Night Watchmen so much.
And the most terrifying thing is the Weird Night itself.
The so-called strange night is the night covered with black tentacles and eyes. They seem to be full of life, but also seem to be illusory. You can easily pass through them. However, if you are in the strange night, you will lose all vision, and even the consumption of body energy is extremely terrifying. Normal people can't survive for a moment without the protection of the light curtain.
Fortunately, in the era of strange night invasion, many special night watchers were born.
They are praised as the favored ones of heaven, the guardians of light, with the genetic talent and powerful blood favored by heaven. They are born with the light protection and special abilities.
Lang Ren still remembers that when he was just reborn, in his infancy, he was born with the awakening of the holy light field, and he was extremely powerful and could see things in the strange night. These symptoms are the best examples of night watchers. Although his holy light field is very small, it is enough to prove it.
The real power is that after the Night Watchman awakens, the powerful bloodline begins to awaken, and will awaken unique abilities. The residents of the town also have a vague understanding of the Night Watchman's bloodline, but this does not prevent them from worshipping this power.
Where there is darkness, there is light. People fear darkness and worship light. At this moment, Lang Ren is no longer the boy in their eyes. His image begins to rise infinitely and becomes a patron saint!
But now, some guys actually want to kill their patron saint!
Feeling those almost fanatical eyes staring at him, Li Cheng's body turned cold, and the fiery mood that once wanted to replace the leader was extinguished.
He knew that he was finished.
The whole family was finished because of his momentary enthusiasm and greed today.
"Tie up the criminal who offended the Night Watch!"
"Expel him!"
"Expel him!"
"Expel him!"
Listening to the voices and watching his former compatriots stand up and walk towards him, Li Cheng, who was pointed at by thousands of people, stepped back step by step, his face showing fear, as if he was possessed by a demon. A voice kept echoing in his mind, and the fear and fear in his bones surged wildly.
Awakened, the Night Watch actually woke up!
"No, no, I was wrong, I was wrong."
"Master Night Watch, I was confused for a moment, please forgive me, don't expel me from the town." At this time, Li Cheng completely forgot his dignity and the pain of losing his son. He only knew that offending the Night Watch was equivalent to a death sentence.
If he was driven out and eaten by monsters, what difference would it make to die.
In the face of so many demons with absolute numbers and absolute strength, what waves could he make with his strength?
Despair, helplessness, fear, regret, filled his heart.
At the center of the field, looking at those pairs of fanatical eyes, Lang Ren was also a little horrified.
Is this the power of the night watchman, is this the so-called faith?
Without saying a word, without making a move, the Li clan leader in the transformation period was surrounded by everyone. Even if he was such a great master, what could he do? He was still afraid in front of faith.
For the first time, Lang Ren experienced this kind of somewhat palpitating power, and realized that sometimes the people's will is also a killing weapon.
Suddenly, he understood those people and religions with fanatical beliefs in his previous life. It turned out that faith is real, it is the pillar in people's hearts, and it is also a terrible power.
At the same time, he also understood that sometimes faith is not an illusory manifestation. In some extremely remote and secluded places, the clan leader is faith, it is heaven, and now, he is the night watchman, it is heaven.
