Chapter 436 Faith
At that time, when it saw the heavy rain after the thunder and lightning, the little frog understood his ability.
It turns out it really is different.
Was it actually the cause of such a miracle?
……
Seeing the joyful faces of the villagers, the little frog finally let go of the Taoist priest.
It doesn't appreciate him, but it doesn't hate him either.
……
The little frog is regarded as the frog god by the villagers, also known as the rain god.
The villagers built a big temple for it and built a golden body for it.
During festivals, villagers come to worship it.
……
However, with the turbulence of the current situation and the changes of the times, human concepts have changed. Without the villagers to repair and maintain the Frog Temple, the temple gradually became dilapidated and became less and less interested.
Eventually, the Frog Temple was demolished.
……
The frog god lost his habitat.
Humanity has also lost its faith.
……
The Frog God is cultivated by human faith.
No, it should be said that it relies on human beings' belief in it.
It is the product of human obsession.
……
With fewer and fewer human beliefs, the frog god's demonic power has not increased in recent years, but has become less and less.
……
The size of the frog god could not help but shrink due to the consumption of demonic power.
……
In fact, it still hasn’t figured out what it is?
Is it a monster, or is it just a product of human belief?
When no one believes in it anymore, is that when it disappears from this world?
It doesn't know.
But inexplicably, it wasn't afraid.
……
It should have been dead long ago.
Because it became a monster and because of human beliefs, it has lived for so many more years.
It's time to be content.
……
Occasionally, it will also think of the villagers back then and their descendants.
At that time, its temples were majestic and full of incense.
Even if it is not needed, the offering table is always full of tributes.
……
People coming in and out are smiling and looking bright.
The children who followed curiously had clean eyes and clear laughter.
……
It always hears humans chattering to it, telling about this year's harvest.
It can clearly feel the love and gratitude of humans for it.
……
How wonderful it was then.
Unfortunately, there is no going back.
The frog god's eyes were a little confused and lost.
However, there was a bit of a smile on his face.
That memory was a very precious memory for him.
It was very happy at that time.
……
Maybe it really has lived too long, after all, it has never seen a frog that has lived longer than it.
It is more likely that he knows that he is not going to die soon. The frog god has been thinking about the past frequently recently.
Those former voices and smiles gradually became clearer again.
It turned out that it had not forgotten anything about the past.
I wonder if it’s because of your powerful memory as a monster?
Or does it not want to forget it?
Whatever the reason, it's just a bit missed.
……
"咩咩~"
Xingxing shook his head slightly, recalling the frog god who was obsessed with past memories.
Even though the action of a certain monster trying to look above its head was funny, the seriousness and worry revealed in the dark green eyes made it impossible to laugh.
……
"Dong~"
Xiao Xiao suddenly reached out and flicked the frog god on the forehead, making a dull sound.
Frog God:? !
……
The Frog God subconsciously stretched out his "hand" to cover his forehead, but just as his "hand" made a move, he thought of something and stopped again.
The big, dull eyes looked at the "culprit" who attacked it, showing confusion, innocence and confusion.
It felt no ill will from the other party.
Just the slight pain on his forehead reminded the frog god Xiao Xiao of his "evil deed" just now. ……
Xiao Xiao didn't explain.
He just didn't like the way the Frog God looked resigned to his fate.
Compared with the frog god who was calm but a bit angry at this time, he still felt that the frog who was angry with Xingji earlier was more pleasing to the eye.
At that time, the frog god was even more energetic.
There were ripples in the dead eyes, revealing a bit of agility.
……
The Frog God did not bother with Xiao Xiao's inexplicable behavior, but instead comforted his worried friend.
"Quack~gua~"
It's fine. Compared to the worst period, it even feels that the decline of the demonic energy has slowed down a bit recently.
what does that mean? It's not clear.
Can it be expected? It doesn't know.
……
The Frog God felt a little intimidated for no reason.
Once it has hope but is disappointed again, it wonders if it can still be so open-minded?
In this case, it would rather not have any hope in the first place.
It told itself that it had lived for a long time, and it was time for it to face its final death calmly.
……
However, there is no need to tell this to Qingxiao, who has a "bitter and bitter" expression on his face.
The frog god simply told his friends that the shrinking of his body had stopped.
It's already fine.
……
However, obviously, Xiao Xiao would not believe this, and even the simple and straightforward Ling Xie could not convince himself to believe it.
Sensing the suspicion of one person and one monster, the Frog God said nothing more.
It grinned and smiled slightly.
……
Xiao Xiao stared deeply at a certain "non-violent and non-cooperative" frog god for a while.
Frog God:...
It felt that the corners of its mouth were a little stiff.
Just when it couldn't hold on any longer, Xiao Xiao looked away.
He looked at Ling Xie and said, "Okay, now that you are friends, I won't disturb you anymore."
"I'm leaving."
……
"缼荼, frog god, goodbye."
"咩咩~"
“Quack~”
……
Xiao Xiao walked in the quiet forest.
Slender branches stretched across his head.
The still green leaves made the surrounding environment a little darker.
……
"Ayu, is there a solution to the frog god's situation?"
Xiao Xiao suddenly asked in his heart.
"No."
Ayu's voice was calm and calm, but it had an indifference that came from absolute reason.
"No?"
Xiao Xiao's eyes darkened and he couldn't help but murmured.
……
"Why?"
Xiao Xiao was a little unwilling to give up.
"The frog god turned into a monster just by chance."
Regarding this point, Ayu did not explain in detail,
This is an evil law, and it is not very clear, let alone the law enforcers.
"It is only a semi-finished product, a product of evil."
Evil?
Xiao Xiao thought of the frog's dull eyes. Although the whites of the eyes were blood-colored, there was no trace of violence in the dark pupils.
……
"It requires human faith to maintain its form in the world."
"It is human obsession that keeps it in the world."
"Otherwise, it will disappear the moment it becomes a monster."
……
"Once there is not enough faith, the frog god will disappear."
……
Xiao Xiao walked out of the forest and suddenly felt like his eyes were brightening.
My mood seemed to have a layer of darkness hanging over it.
