Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 172 Scientists and the Church
Xie Shen just let his younger brother Geng Yizi drag him.

The two of them walked one after the other and soon arrived at an open space at the entrance of the village.

Can see:

There is a high platform built with stones on the open space.

There is a cross-shaped wooden frame erected on the high platform.

The original owner Geng Huan's father Geng Tianhua was tied to a wooden frame at this moment.

His eyes were closed and he looked as if he had been knocked unconscious.

Besides.

From the firewood piled at Geng Tianhua's feet, it was not difficult to see that the villagers really intended to burn him to death.

...

On the open ground.

Seeing Xie Shen and Geng Yizi arriving at the scene, eldest sister Geng Tao hurriedly walked out from the crowd.

She looked at Xie Shen and said with a hint of surprise in her tone: "Brother, why are you here? Are your injuries healed?"

"It's not completely healed yet, but it basically doesn't affect our movements." Xie Shen responded, then changed the subject and asked, "What's the situation now? Why are all the villagers standing there without starting a fire?"

"Because they are waiting for people from the church." Geng Tao explained: "I just heard from the village chief as well."

"It is said that those who become scientists must first be judged by the church."

"After the soul has been purified, it can be burned to death with fire."

The judgment of the church?
Hearing this, Xie Shen immediately understood where the problem lay.

Obviously.

The people of this world have been fooled by the so-called church.

Not only do they play tricks, but they also perform a so-called "soul purification" ritual before killing someone.

Ordinary people are even strictly prohibited from learning scientific knowledge.

If anyone violates this rule, he will suffer the same fate as the original owner Geng Huan's father - being tied to a wooden frame and burned to death.

Just as Xie Shen was sorting out various clues.

Geng Tao only heard him say, "The village has just sent someone to the church."

"It will probably take no more than half a day for the church members to arrive here."

"By then, Dad will be dead."

"What do we do now?"

Is there only half a day left?
After hearing what Geng Tao said, Xie Shen couldn't help but feel a headache.

——As a cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Stage, the first thing he thought of was to solve all problems with force.

But considering the body he is currently occupying, his injuries have not yet healed.

If a fight really broke out, Xie Shen could barely defeat a few villagers with the help of his spiritual awareness as a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage.

But he himself would certainly be injured in the battle.

Once the injury is compounded.

If the person coming from the church possessed some kind of supernatural power, then Xie Shen’s life would be in danger.

So it is obviously unwise to take action.

If you want to save the original owner's father Geng Tianhua, you have to find another way.

"The witch is coming, the witch is coming!"

At the entrance of the village.

Xie Shen was thinking about how to deal with the situation when he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from a crowd not far away.

next second.

Following everyone's gaze, I saw a girl in a mixed-color coarse cloth long skirt slowly coming to the platform surrounded by countless villagers.

Perhaps it is because the church has intentionally screened them.

This girl has a pretty face.

In addition, its body is slender and thin, so at first glance, it can give people a sense of harmless purity.

This girl from the church, also known as the fortune-teller, seems to be a very capable person.

After she walked onto the platform, she immediately sprinkled a circle of black powder around the original owner's father, Geng Tianhua.

After doing all this, she began to mutter to herself in a low voice.

Like chanting a spell.

Through his spiritual consciousness, Xie Shen could clearly observe:

Just when the witch finished sprinkling the black powder and chanted the spell.

Geng Tianhua, the father who was tied up and already in a coma, suddenly began to tremble violently.

Xie Shen didn't know why all this happened.

But it goes without saying that if the original owner continued to allow the witch to do what she wanted, his father Geng Tianhua would surely die soon.

Think about this.

Xie Shen decisively released his spiritual consciousness and tried to communicate with Geng Tianhua who was in a coma.

He sent a voice into the other party's sea of ​​consciousness: "Hey, can you hear me?"

"Where is this?" After hearing Xie Shen's voice, Geng Tianhua subconsciously replied: "Where am I now?"

Xie Shen explained: "You were knocked unconscious by someone."

"As for how I got fainted, I'm still not sure."

"Anyway, I'm communicating with you subconsciously now."

"Subconscious?" Geng Tianhua didn't quite understand.

Xie Shen then said, "Don't worry about whether it's subconscious or not."

"Right now, you are being tied to a wooden frame."

"And it won't be long before you are burned to death."

"If you want to survive, you have to wake up from your coma as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, even if I rescued you, it would be difficult to get you out of the village."

Hearing this, Geng Tianhua immediately recalled everything that happened before he fell into a coma.

"I remember now!" he said suddenly, "Just yesterday, my scientific research was discovered by the villagers by accident."

"I thought we were all from the same village." "Even if my scientific research was discovered, the villagers wouldn't do anything to me."

"But I didn't expect that they would actually knock me down with hemp arrows."

"Now you want to burn me to death!"

Geng Tianhua said with a hint of ruthlessness in his words.

"If I had known this, I would have killed them all in advance."

"I am really impressed by this group of fools who have been fooled by the church!"

"Alright, alright." Seeing his father Geng Tianhua chattering incessantly in his sea of ​​consciousness, Xie Shen urged, "What's the point of saying this nonsense? Your most urgent task now is to find a way to wake up as soon as possible, otherwise no one will be able to save you."

Geng Tianhua hurriedly asked, "So how can I wake up from my coma?"

"Depend on your own willpower." Xie Shen explained: "Things on the spiritual level like this are difficult to explain in one sentence."

"Whether you can wake up depends entirely on how strong your will to survive is."

"It's just like whether or not a person can wake up early when they are asleep."

"If you keep something on your mind, you'll naturally wake up early."

"Do you understand me?"

"Maybe. I understand." Geng Tianhua responded with a confused look.

"Okay, I won't waste my time talking to you anymore." Xie Shen finally said, "After all, you don't have much time left."

After saying this, he withdrew from Geng Tianhua's sea of ​​consciousness and took his spiritual consciousness back into his body.

...

If it hasn't been long.

But on the high platform, Geng Tianhua, whose whole body was twitching constantly, suddenly opened his eyes as if helped by God.

This moment.

All the villagers who were watching the scene showed expressions of horror at the same time.

Even the witch who was performing a ritual nearby was so frightened by this sudden change that she stumbled and fell to the ground.

"you you you!!"

The witch glanced at Geng Tianhua who had regained consciousness, and then looked at the villagers below the platform.

She questioned the villagers, "Didn't you say that this man had been given anesthesia? Why did he suddenly wake up?"

“I can’t control this anymore.”

"I'm leaving!"

The more the witch spoke, the more urgent her tone became.

She stood up in a panic and pretended to escape from the platform.

This moment.

Suddenly, a translucent white light shield spread outward from Geng Tianhua's body surface.

The light shield grew bigger and bigger like a balloon, and it actually broke the hemp rope that bound Geng Tianhua.

Geng Tianhua escaped from trouble.

Seeing that he had broken free from the hemp rope, the village chief became anxious.

He immediately ordered his attendants, "Quick! Release the hemp arrows!"

After receiving the order, the villagers drew their bows and shot arrows at Geng Tianhua.

However, at this moment, Geng Tianhua has released a white light shield to protect his body.

After those hemp arrows hit the light shield, they only caused slight cracks on its surface but were unable to break through its defense.

——Xie Shen had seen Li Xiu develop a stance shield similar to this white light cover.

Compared to the bulky mecha.

This type of shield can be freely retracted and deployed, and will hardly cause any encumbrance to the user or affect his movements.

So in theory alone, the stance shield is far superior to the mecha.

However, due to the huge amount of energy consumed by the stance shield, the problems of power supply and endurance cannot be solved.

Therefore, it has never been applied in actual combat.

Unexpectedly, Xie Shen saw the technology that the earthlings had failed to develop in this seemingly backward village.

That's really strange.

I don’t know how Geng Tianhua developed the stance shield.

If Li Xiu saw this, he would be so jealous that he would die.

On the high platform.

After breaking free from the hemp rope, Geng Tianhua decisively put his right hand into his mouth.

Under the gazes of countless people, he actually took out an iron pipe from his mouth that was as thick as a toothpick and as long as half a finger.

Geng Tianhua pointed the iron pipe at the fortune-teller.

next second.

A red light then spurted out from the iron pipe.

A red light passed through the chest of the witch who was running for her life.

After this blow, the witch fell to the ground and died on the spot after struggling for only a few seconds.

this.
The scene before him made Xie Shen, who was about to lend a helping hand, completely dumbfounded.

After all, it is a stand-off shield that can generate a white light cover.

There are also micro laser guns that can kill people instantly.

Without the support of a huge industrial base, these are simply high-tech equipment that people of this era cannot invent.

This is totally unreasonable.
In fact, it’s not just Xie Shen.

The rest of the villagers in the village, including the original owner's younger brother Geng Yizi and older sister Geng Tao.

It also seemed that they were seeing those high-tech equipment that were far beyond their time for the first time.

Hence, for a moment, everyone present was stunned where they were.

Of course.

These villagers are not stupid.

After being stunned for about one or two seconds, they fled in all directions like birds and beasts as if they had discussed it beforehand.
