Chapter 1638: Chapter 1638: A Bolt of Lightning Strikes
If they could leave, would they not leave? Would they stay in this county town to await death?
“Once a small half of our people leave, the rest will be unable to depart, and divine punishnt will imdiately descend, just like now. The shadow ice will continue to fall heavier and heavier until it crushes everyone in the county to death.”
Then he turned his head to look at his two children.
“My two children can leave because they carry a heavier Ling Clan bloodline; otherwise, no one would know if all our people were crushed to death by the shadow ice!”
Yes, that’s right.
“So this ti, is it because many people left the county town?” Lin Caisang asked.
“No.”
The man shook his head, denying her guess.
“Hardly anyone left the town, and those who did soon returned. Not many could leave – soone is in charge of the town; no one can leave as they please.”
“Oh.”
Lin Caisang nodded her head.
If the shadow ice’s divine punishnt wasn’t triggered by people leaving town, then it must have been a grave wrongdoing that invited this punishnt.
“Why don’t you tell
how this divine punishnt really ca to be? You should know, right?”
She raised an eyebrow at the man and asked.
“This…”
The man was still hesitant, but his hesitation didn’t last long before he decided to open up.
It had to be told; otherwise, they would all perish under the shadow ice’s divine punishnt.
“According to the accounts passed down by our ancestors, it seems that the earliest forefathers of our county incurred so transgression in the Ling Clan, leading them to seek refuge in the Human Clan. They settled here, took wives, and had children.
Therefore, this divine punishnt is their legacy.
At first, we didn’t even know whether this punishnt truly existed until the ice hail began to fall. It grew bigger and bigger, and we finally realized that this, indeed, was the shadow ice divine punishnt spoken of by our ancestors.”
He raised his hand to wipe his face, speaking with a grey, defeated expression.
Thinking of this punishnt, considering that they might die under it, he truly wished he could just bash his head in and be done with it – it would be better than being pumlled into pulp by the hail.
…
The man spoke at length about the shadow ice divine punishnt.
However, after Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo arrived in the room that had been arranged for them and closed the door behind them, questions arose.
“Brother Molian, do you also believe it’s the shadow ice divine punishnt?” she asked Sui Zimo.
Sui Zimo shook his head, then shook it again.
“No, I don’t think so. The divine punishnts of the Ling Clan are always swift; where have you heard of one that continues for ten days or half a month?” he said.
Even though he was just accompanying Sang’er on this virtual task, he still knew the basic setting here.
Divine punishnt is the heavenly retribution for soone who has committed grievous wrongs or perford nurous evil deeds.
This punishnt is sure to be swift, like a bolt of lightning striking soone dead in an instant – that’s celestial retribution, with only one purpose: to ensure that the wrongdoer dies!
It wouldn’t be like here, where the hail has been falling for ten days or half a month without end, leaving everyone in a state of panic.
“This hail, rather, seems like soone’s malicious prank, don’t you think?”
“I think so too.”
Lin Caisang quite agreed with Sui Zimo’s words.
Divine punishnt is not like this, and even if this county town truly had sothing called shadow ice as its divine punishnt, it wouldn’t be the hail that’s falling now!
