Chapter 432 Reasoning Notes 9: The Legend of the Lizard God (40)
The worker's back tightened, and he panicked for no reason. He immediately turned on the flashlight, and happened to see a figure "swoosh" into the grass, which looked very strange.

"Who!" The worker was immediately frightened, flashing the flashlight around in a panic, and backed away repeatedly: "Who is over there! Come out!"

No one answered him.There was only a shadow of a tree shaking, and no living things could be seen approaching.

The other party seemed to be hiding under the bushes.

What could it be?He stared wide-eyed, terrified in his heart, staring at the grass without blinking.He wanted to see the other party's true face.But the bushes stood still instead.

The scene fell into sudden silence.Only the chilly wind was blowing back and forth.

The workers stood trembling in the darkness.The gloomy scene in front of him intensified the chill in his heart, and the endless darkness oppressed his heart, making him unable to breathe.His heart was struggling violently in his chest, beating wildly.

He felt that he should not stay here anymore!
Ignoring the need to wait for someone, the worker finally raised his feet and backed away in fear.

run away!Get out of here!Get out of this darkness!

But the next second when he turned around, the worker suddenly saw the danger quietly hidden behind.

"Wow!" he exclaimed, eyes widening.It turned out that a giant lizard had already ambushed behind him!

For the first time, the giant lizard that the iron cage met today flashed through the worker's mind.

oh!No, not that lizard... He could see clearly, the monster in front of him was even more terrifying.Because it looks like a human!
How terrible.He couldn't describe his inner world at this moment.He is convinced that he has met the most mysterious lizard god in the world.

A fearless, cowardly, and trembling soul was reflected in the sinister eyes of the Lizard God.

"Help!" The worker's horrified scream could not be called out at the last moment of death, and it waited for an opportunity to pounce on it.

His throat was bitten off, and red blood spread from under his body like a dark river.He opened his mouth, stared, and looked at the night sky unwillingly.

"Swish."

In the quiet night, the worker's body was slowly dragged into the bushes.

No.11 coming-of-age ceremony

The Lizard God Festival is coming as scheduled.

On this day, the ancient town of Shawan reversed its lifelessness for many days. Every household was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and people put on solemn clothes.Early in the morning, the radio in the town began to play festive songs on a loop.On the surface, this ancient town is filled with festive atmosphere.In the dark, the haze in people's hearts has never dissipated.

Under everyone's forced smiles, there was a hint of worry inadvertently.

They expect to use this festival to pray to the Lizard God, hoping that it will make this land shine again.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the parade program began.People carried out the stone statue of the Lizard God from the Lizard Temple, surrounded by eight people like a sedan chair, and slowly paraded along the streets of the town.It's like the Lizard God personally descending to inspect the folks.Along the way, every household ran out to respectfully greet the stone statue of the Lizard God, and those who were superstitious even knelt down to pay homage and joined hands to make a wish.Foreign tourists such as Mi Kaka and Qi Mu also stood on the side of the road to watch the excitement.

However, halfway through the parade, a figure suddenly ran out of the crowd of onlookers on the side of the road and stopped the team.

When people saw it, it turned out that the troublemaker was the young Xiaotian.Holding a megaphone and wearing protest signs, he was standing in the middle of the road.

"Xiao Tian, ​​are you crazy? Dare to stand in the way of Lord Lizard God?"

A respectable old man with a white beard in the team severely reprimanded him for his behavior.However, Xiaotian didn't take it seriously at all, and looked around the crowd and made an impassioned statement: "Everyone, stop being stupid! There is no god in this world! There is no savior! This lizard god is a product of feudal superstition! We should get rid of superstition , Look at the problem with the perspective of scientific development!"

It’s still a cliché, and it’s estimated that the residents at the scene have heard their ears callused, so everyone has a numb expression on their faces.Mi Kaka, who was onlookers at the scene, really felt sorry for this young man from Xiaotian. His words were true, but it was a pity that it would be futile to put such a superstitious lizard god in such a small town.

"Xiaotian, stop making trouble! Be careful that the lizard god will punish the Tian family!" The white-bearded old man's words were threatening, but this made Xiaotian catch him, and he took the opportunity to say: "Okay! Since you believe in the lizard god, then Let it punish me! I am standing here in the way today, if there really is a lizard god, why doesn't it appear?!"

The old man with white beard was speechless for a moment.Seeing this, Oda got more and more energetic, and shouted to the sky with a loudspeaker: "Lizard God, come and punish me! Come quickly!"

This is obviously looking for the rhythm of abuse.Anyway, Oda believes that it is impossible for the Lizard God to appear in public, even Mikaka does not believe it.However, they were all wrong...

Among the crowd on the side of the road, a little girl in a blue dress tugged at the corner of her mother's clothes.

She said, "The lizard god has appeared."

The mother looked down at her precious daughter, a little dumbfounded: "Kid, don't talk nonsense."

It's not good to offend the lizard god.

The little girl raised her innocent head: "But, it really appeared! It's right there."

She raised her finger and pointed at Xiaotian's feet, and everyone's eyes also shifted there.But her mother didn't believe it at first, but when she turned her head and saw it, she was shocked. She took a few steps back immediately after picking up her daughter.

Oda's screams resounded in the crowd at the right time: "Wow!"

A tiny lizard bit his foot before scurrying to the ground and fleeing into the crowd.Oda sat on the ground and moaned while covering his bleeding wound. The crowd dispersed like a wave of panic, only to hear screams one after another: "Wow! The Lizard God! It's the Lizard God!"

After Xiaotian wailed for a few seconds, he began to feel cold all over, and fell to the ground twitching.

The white-bearded old man ran up to Xiaotian, looked at his uncomfortable appearance in astonishment, wanted to rescue him but didn't know what to do.The others were helpless as well, their faces all pale.

"Look, this is the fate of angering the lizard god." Everyone discussed.

But he saw that Xiao Tian had already started to roll his eyes and vomit white foam, as if he couldn't hold on anymore.

At the critical moment, several figures rushed out from the crowd, Qi Mu, Mi Kaka, and Lin Shan.Qi Mu knelt down to check Oda's injury, and found that the area around the small wound was swollen and purple, and his lips gradually turned white, and his body convulsed slightly.

"This lizard is poisonous." Qi Mu said, "It must be sent to the hospital immediately! Be careful not to move around, otherwise it will speed up the flow of toxin in the blood."

After hearing this, Lin Shan asked the driver to drive and sent Xiao Tian to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment.

As the car drove away, Mi Kaka and the others who stayed in place looked solemn for a moment.

The timing of this lizard's appearance was too coincidental, and no one was bitten, except Oda.This undoubtedly made people more convinced of the existence of the lizard god.Sure enough, there were small voices of discussion among the surrounding crowd: "Look. Who said there is no Lizard God? This idiot, Oda, dared to offend the Lizard God, and this is what happened."

With this accident, it may be even more difficult to overthrow the blind reverence of these townspeople for the lizard god.

Suddenly, the old man with white beard thumped and knelt down on his knees.

Everyone was surprised when they saw this.

I only heard the old man with white beard make five body bows: "Master Lizard God, please forgive us!"

His move seemed to ignite the fear in people's hearts.The surrounding crowd knelt down one after another.

"Master Lizard God, please forgive us!"

For a time, the voices were full of people.

Only Mi Kaka and Qi Mu stood in the middle, quite conspicuous.They looked around at the kneeling people around them, as if they were in an ancient sacrificial ceremony.That is the complete surrender of human beings to the gods.

When we got back to the hotel, the parade had gone.

Looking at the winding long queue, Mi Kaka sighed with some understanding: "This town is really scary."

When all the people in a small town fall into a certain obsessive belief, it is an unreasonable act of madness.The residents of this town have been unable to escape their shackles.Perhaps their whole life will be spent under the shadow of the lizard god.

There is only one way to save them.

That is to solve all the mysteries about the lizard god and catch the real murderer.

At that moment, Mi Kaka suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.

Can he catch the murderer?
In the evening, the housekeeper Zhang came to the hotel.

"Miss said, I hope you can stay in the Lizard House tonight."

Ran Yuxuan's purpose is obvious: the coming-of-age ceremony will be held tonight, which is a critical time.According to the legend, she will become a lizard god after midnight.She hopes to get the help of Mikaka and others to prevent this terrible curse from fulfilling.

"Tonight, maybe something strange will happen." Before going out, Qi Mu said with a solemn expression.

From eight o'clock in the evening, more and more residents gathered in front of the Lizard Temple.

Only at this time, the temple is open.Joss candles were lit in the temple, and the flames flickered.The stone statue of the lizard god has been carried back to the altar, and offerings such as chickens, roast pigs, and fruits are placed in front of it.A platform was set up in front of the temple, and a brazier was erected at each of the four corners for lighting.In the brazier, the red flame swayed gently with the wind, devouring the sacrificial lamp oil.The warm yellow firelight reflected every solemn face of the people.Row after row, they bowed respectfully in the clearing.There were so many people that they couldn't even sit in the open space, and those who arrived late had to kneel on the road outside Lizard's house.
