The believers in the courtyard were originally a little frightened and uneasy, but at this time, they were overjoyed when they heard the words, and they were happy to do so, and they knelt on the ground one after another, reciting the names of the four emperors:

"Salvation Yuan Emperor Miao no God, Salvation Mixed Yuan God, Salvation Xuanyang God, Salvation Puji God ......"

On the wall behind the sect leader, there are four Gongbi paintings, which are drawn by his own hands, the top one, the green robe is like a fairy, the face is handsome, and the remaining three are in a row below, in the middle is a bright girl in a goose yellow dress, the whole body is dazzling, one by one to shine outward, there is an emperor on her left wearing a bright yellow robe, wrapped in strips of Xuanhuang, and the woman on the right is cold like the moon, holding the guqin, indifferent but not alienated.

When the believers finished reciting the names of the Four Emperors, the middle-aged scholar-like sect leader raised his right hand and slowly pressed down.

Suddenly, the noise in the courtyard disappeared, and the birds were silent, which showed the strict rules and the respect of the gods.

Sect Leader He Yun coughed lightly: "The Four Emperors are about to descend and eliminate the demon tide, it is the time to see if you are pious, whether you are talking about it or being sincere, the gods can tell for themselves." ”

"The demon tide is easy to dissipate, the pain is difficult to get rid of, people will not escape death after all, whether the soul returns to the nine shadows and sinks into eternal life, or serves the four emperors or so, and enjoys bliss, only in one thought!"

His expression was full of fanaticism, but his heart was quite disdainful, the demon tide was coming, and the legend of the salvation of the Four Emperors that he had made up was about to be punctured, so it was better to take advantage of this to make a fortune, and then buy off the guards and hide in the Fang Market where the strong and the rich are located, where there is plenty of food, unlike the outside world where there is a limit for daily purchases!

When the demon tide passes, if you are still alive, you can start again in another city!

Hearing that they wanted to show their piety, the believers were inevitably stunned and looked at each other, at this time, He Yun's intimate subordinates who had been placed in the crowd in advance stood up suddenly, took out all the belongings on their bodies, ran to the four picture scrolls, and kowtowed:

"The believers thank you. Pious dedication, please save the emperor Miao no God...... Blessing. ”

In the crowd, one voice after another sounded, echoing him:

"Quick, let's go and give! If it's too late, they will take the lead, and there will be no place!"

"The last few who are dedicated will definitely not be sincere, they will anger Emperor Yuan and lay down the eighteenth layer of hell!"

The atmosphere suddenly became crazy, and many believers began to scramble, and He Yun smiled when he saw it. Emotional.

At this moment, a figure swept down from the wall and pounced in front of He Yun, the five fingers of his right hand formed claws, and the flowers squirmed like flowers, and he grabbed several big points on He Yun's chest with one hand.

"Catch the head and handle the case, everyone squats down to avoid accidental injury!" the figure shouted, and his voice was clear. Like a babbling stream.

With a bang, the door was slammed open, and more than a dozen officials carrying water and fire sticks rushed in, skillfully divided into two teams. Close from the left and right, surround the believers and He Yun's subordinates.

And when they heard that the head was being arrested, the believers subconsciously squatted down with their heads in their hands, not understanding the situation. When no one stirred them up, they were like sheep and did not resist anything.

He Yun looked at the head catcher in front of him. I saw that she was tall, wearing a dark red head-catching suit, in her twenties, with slightly thick eyebrows but not hiding her beauty, one leg was standing upright, and the other leg was rarely curled, as if she was ready to attack, as long as she struggled, she would immediately be hit by a leg.

"What are you going to do?" He Yun was able to develop a cult from scratch, and he was by no means without courage, so he kept his composure at this time and shouted loudly.

After the head catcher looked around, his ink-like eyes met He Yun's eyes: "In a normal year, what gods do the people of Li believe in, what incense do they burn, as long as they don't make too much trouble, we will indeed be nameless, but now that the demon tide is coming, you are still spreading cults, demagoguery, looting property, and ignoring the peace of Lecheng, your heart can be punished!"

The words were so literary that she herself seemed unable to adapt, wrinkled her nose, and added fiercely:

"Anyway, boy, we've been eyeing you for a long time!"

He Yun's liver trembled, and he said inwardly: "You have to think clearly! This seat is the envoy of the four emperors who save the world, and is responsible for their arrival, if this seat is arrested, there will be no one to save the world, and when the time comes, I don't know how many people will die in the demon tide! Pingle City will not be able to be saved!"

"Shut up!" The female catcher's face changed, and she gritted her teeth a little, "You listen to this catcher, there has never been any savior, our human race can survive to this day, relying on our predecessors and sages, relying on ourselves!"

"When my father died in Pingle City in order to resist the demon tide, there was no savior god!"

"My master ancestor infiltrated the Nine Shadows, trying to find a way to destroy the gap, and when he died tragically, there was no savior spirit!"

"When my master assassinated the demon general, when he was torn apart, there was no savior!"

"I have a family of nine, up and down the sect, all the demon tides of battle death, and when they are stacked into a sea of corpses, there is no salvation god!"

This topic made her emotionally agitated, her eyes were hazy and crystalline, as if tears were swirling, and then she let out a long breath, and her voice slowed down, both tired and determined:

"In short, it is not the savior gods that let our human race be passed on from generation to generation, the ancestors who are not afraid of sacrifice, and the 'we' who hold their heads high to meet the tide of demons!"

The whole courtyard was suddenly quiet, and the silence of the needle dropping could be heard, and the believers more or less had relatives and friends who died in the demon tide, and they felt a little empathy for a while.

But it is precisely because of the cruelty of sacrifice that they pin their hopes on the ethereal gods.

The female catcher tore off the four picture scrolls, crumpled them together, grabbed them in her hands, then turned around, opened her legs, walked to the door, waved her hand, and said in a low voice:

"Take them away and put them in prison, and if you need bait against the demons, find them among them. ”

"Yes, Qin Zhutou. The officials respected her quite much, and they were shaken by what they had just said, and they worked harder and harder, tying He Yun and several of his subordinates and sending them to prison.

............

In the wilderness, from time to time, you can see unripe rice that has not yet been harvested, and farmers carry all kinds of cloth bags on their backs, and methodically squeeze into a horse-drawn carriage.

The horse pulling the cart seems to be mixed with demonic blood, its whole body is covered with black scales, and its strength is extremely great, even if the cart is crowded with people, it also walks like a fly, which can be regarded as a harvest of resisting the demon tide I don't know how many times.

Every carriage around, there are capable soldiers and people from the rivers and lakes riding similar horses, their eyes are sharp, their temperament is fierce, and they look like people who have been bleeding for many years.

The leader walked at the end, a middle-aged man with gray temples and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. Without his left arm, he held a thick-backed long knife in his right hand, and said loudly: "You should know the rules very well, on the way to retreat to Pingle City, if there is a person left behind, no one rescues, no one waits, you can only ask for more blessings." ”

The peasants were silent and silent, except for children and those under twenty years of age. I tried to make a noise, but I was glared at by the horseback guys who didn't want to be messed with at first glance, and swallowed it back.

Anyone who has experience knows why this rule was established, and how many times it was learned from blood and corpses!

"Li Tou, how can you not wait and not rescue?" There was a young man beside the leader, stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand how there could be such a dehumanizing rule?

The leader glanced at him, and said in a calm voice: "In every demon tide, there is a team to rescue or wait for someone who has fallen behind. Chased by demons and ghosts, from top to bottom, from old to young, none of them survived. ”

Wait a minute. That saving for a while doesn't seem like much, but the total may add up to the boundary between life and death.

"You're still young, and you haven't been out of the city since the last Demon Tide. I don't know how cruel it is. The leader said lightly.

The young man still couldn't understand, and said with wide eyes: "But, the demon is not yet to be found. It won't be long before someone is saved!"

"When there is a trace of the demon, no one will be able to escape!" the leader said in a deep voice, pulling the reins and riding forward.

The carriage was limited in number, and each ride had to be crowded with people, the innermost being was a younger woman and child, in the middle were young and middle-aged men of different appearances, and on the outer layer were many gray-haired men and women, who were at the very edge, barely falling by the strength of their hands.

The team moved quietly for a while, and the hands of an old man with a deeply wrinkled face began to tremble, and he couldn't hold the person inside. , falling from the carriage.

"Grandpa, grandpa!" his granddaughter in the center noticed his dangerous situation, crying out to reach out and pull her, and for a moment the carriage became chaotic, and if it continued, more people would lose their balance.

At this time, the old man smiled slightly, took the initiative to let go of his hands, and fell back, and his voice echoed:

"Nannan, live well!"

Bang, he fell to the ground, injured his muscles and bones, and couldn't get up for a long time.

"Grandpa......" cries faded away with the carriage.

Seeing this, the young man beside the leader was about to go to the rescue, and suddenly, there was a thick-backed long knife in front of him.

"Li Tou, you!" he was shocked and angry.

The leader looked at him coldly: "Those who delay the march, cut it off!"

His gaze was cold, with murderous intent, which frightened the young man, so that he did not dare to move, and could only follow the horse past the old man.

Looking at the old man struggling to stand up in the distance and trying to walk towards Pingle City, the young man said sadly and angrily: "You, you have no humanity!"

"I can only take care of more people. The leader looked indifferently at the fast-moving procession in front of him.

"They are human beings, and he is also human beings, so why should we sacrifice him? Can lives be compared by numbers? Many people's lives are more important than one person's life?" the young man burst into tears and angrily accused.

"Yes. The leader replied coldly, "In the Demon Tide, as long as it is not an exterior scene, the majority is more important than the few, and it is better to continue the human race!"

The young man was stunned for a moment, and looked at the leader in disbelief, this was such a cold and inhumane answer, he couldn't help but accuse again: "Li Tou, if you want to sacrifice yourself and save them, are you willing?"

The leader suddenly showed a smile, and his voice was low: "Once, there was a carriage that overturned on its side, and my only son was on it......"

His laughter was uglier than crying.

The young man looked over in amazement, and the voices of other teammates sounded in his ears: "At that time, Li Tou's choice was to let the team continue to move forward and stay by himself, but he encountered several demons lurking and tracking, lost an arm, and the child was not saved......"

The leader restrained his smile and looked ahead coldly but firmly, the road of survival of the human race can only move forward, not turn back!

............

Qin Shuanghua Qin Zhutou was emotionally agitated, unable to control herself, and walked back to her home step by step, and when she closed the door, she squatted down violently, crying like a child.

"Shuanghua, what's wrong with you?" Qin Shuanglian walked out of the house and dressed up at home.

Qin Shuanghua was startled, stood up suddenly, wiped his eyes with the paper in his hand, and stammered, "Eldest sister, you, aren't you in retreat?"

There are eleven people in the Qin family, and only himself and this cousin are left.

Qin Shuanglian smiled slightly: "Of course it's out of the customs." ”

"Out of the customs, big sister. You, have you been promoted to location?" Qin Shuanghua was pleasantly surprised, and when she saw Qin Shuanglian bowing slightly, she cheered, jumped and jumped, "Location, you are a strong person in location, and you are also a number one person in Pingle City!"

From childhood to adulthood, especially in the last ten years, the eldest sister has always been a role model and pride of herself!

Qin Shuanglian looked at her calmly and excitedly. After half a ring, he said, "What were you crying just now?"

Qin Shuanghua was suddenly embarrassed and said: "I caught a cult leader before, and I was provoked by him to recall the things at home. ”

Speaking of this, she realized that she was so emotional that she had been holding the paper balls that had been crumpled into a few picture scrolls, and used them to wipe her tears and snot, and after spitting, she was still on the ground.

"What cult?" Qin Shuanglian asked indifferently.

Qin Shuanghua said disdainfully: "That guy is very vulgar, what is it called the Four Emperors of the World." Well, that's the ......."

She used her dexterous feet and true qi to unfold the paper ball to show the eldest sister.

"This is the God of Xuanyang, this is the God of Saving the World, and this is the ......God of Saving Puji," Qin Shuanghua unfolded one by one. casually introduced, and soon the last one was revealed.

Qin Shuanglian listened with a smile all the time, and at this time, the last portrait came into her eyes. Tsing Yi is like a fairy, with a handsome face.

Tsing Yi is like a fairy, with a handsome face...... Qin Shuanglian was stunned suddenly. The pupils constrict violently.

It's him! The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand!

Qin Shuanghua didn't pay attention to his cousin's abnormality, pouted and said: "This is the salvation of the Yuan Emperor, in fact, it is not bad to call the Yuan Emperor directly......"

"Where is he?" At this time, Qin Shuanglian pounced, grabbed her wrists, and asked one after another, with unusual urgency, interrupting her words.

Qin Shuanghua was already frightened, looking at her cousin with a flushed face, she had a feeling of not knowing: "Who, who is where?"

I have never seen such an excited cousin, at least not in the last ten years!

"It's the person in this portrait!" Qin Shuanglian said eagerly.

"He, he's just a pseudo-god made up by the leader of the cult......" Qin Shuanghua didn't understand what his cousin was excited about, could it be that he broke through to the exterior with a bad brain?

"Where is the cult leader?" Qin Shuanglian asked, her eyes a little red.

Qin Shuanghua was completely frightened, and stammered: "Big, big prison, big sister, you ...... you"

Before the words fell, she was dragged by her eldest sister's wrist and rushed to the prison, Qin Shuanglian's eagerness and excitement made her confused and at a loss.

............

In the prison, He Yun and several subordinates were locked in a cell, which was cold and damp, and there was a feeling that there would be resentment and evil ghosts at any time.

When the officials left, He Yun sat down dejectedly, with only a stack of wheat stalks at the bottom of his buttocks, and all kinds of terrifying consequences flashed in his mind.

I heard that during the Demon Tide, the prisoners in the prison had no food and could only rely on each other to feed themselves......

The head catcher just now also said that he wanted to use us as bait to catch evil spirits into a trap......

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and trembled like several of his subordinates, and after a long time he slammed to his feet, rushed to the edge of the cell, grasped the railing, shook it vigorously, and cried out bitterly:

"Wronged, adult, small wronged!"

Just now, he should have directly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and presented all the looted belongings in exchange for leniency!

The other prisoners were surprised by this situation and continued to do their own thing.

At this time, a subordinate walked up to He Yun and wondered, "Sect Master, why don't you pray to the Four Emperors of Salvation and ask them to send their divine power to help?"

Although they were close subordinates, He Yun still worked hard to cultivate their faith, which was a guarantee of his special status.

Hearing this, He Yun gritted his teeth, broke the jar and said: "How can there be any four emperors to save the world, they are all made up by me, made up!"

Before the words fell, there was a light rising in the cell behind him, and there were four people inside, the leader was in green clothes with handsome faces, and the rest had goose yellow dresses, bright yellow robes, and cold dust, and it was Meng Qi and others who had not yet had time to change their appearance.

Several subordinates' mouths opened a little bit, their eyes waited round, and someone said in an ethereal tone: "Sect Master, really, there are really four emperors to save the world......

He Yun was furious: "I told you that I made it up, understand, I made it up!"

He turned his head and glared at several of his subordinates, he had never seen such an elm pimple, and it was time to work together to get out of the cell.

As soon as he turned around, his eyes lit up, and the familiar four figures were in front of him, exactly the same as in his dream.

Poof, several subordinates prostrate on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Welcome to the Emperor of the Salvation Yuan, ...... Godless"

Really, really, there really ...... He Yun's legs were weak, he sat on the ground, watching the man in the green shirt walking towards him, his crotch suddenly became wet, his eyes turned black, and he almost fainted.

What the hell are they doing?" Meng Qi frowned and looked at it, and began to run the Yuan Heart Seal.

At this moment, two figures rushed over, it was Qin Shuanglian and Qin Shuanghua.

Everyone in the cell knew the pretty head of the cell, and they also knew that her sister was quite extraordinary, so they immediately stopped the noise and looked at them in amazement.

Qin Shuanglian ran to the door of the cell, glanced at Meng Qi, and had no doubts.

Then, Qin Shuanghua watched her sister fall to her knees suddenly, only kneeling to the ground, and the sister of her parents and teachers actually knelt to the ground!

For a moment, she didn't know what she was encountering.

Qin Shuanglian knelt on the ground, thinking of her father who died in battle, the souls of the nine members of the Qin family, the unknown people who died in the demon tide, and the heroes who died generously, she suddenly had mixed feelings, two lines of tears flowed out of the corners of her eyes, and she kowtowed heavily to Meng Qi:

"Senior, please save us!"

"Save this world!"

The voice was hoarse and heartbreaking. (To be continued......)
