System: I am a second-hand dealer in the world of immortality

Then a group of people salvaged the treasure box from the old site of Shipi Village that turned into a lake. They originally wanted to take it down the mountain to worship, but after trying again and again, they found that worshiping at the old site of Shipi Village was the most effective.

But the original altar was located in the middle of the lake, and every worship process required a lot of effort, so they built another altar at the bottom of the lake along the edge of the lake. Then there are endless living sacrifices.

First it was pregnant women, then women, and then children were brutally murdered. They treated the sacrifices like animals, and later even went to other places to buy women and children specifically for sacrifice. Naturally, there are also a group of people who mix their own personal grudges in the name of worship. Some beasts will do some unspeakable things to women and children before worshiping.

Maybe there are no gods in the first place, or maybe the immortal's words before he left, "If your appetite is too much, you will surely collapse" became a prophecy. Although Shibi Village can still mine jade mines, its population is getting smaller and smaller, and few people have it. A woman is willing to marry, but even if she does marry, it will be difficult for her to have children.

From five to six hundred households in its heyday to only twenty or thirty households today, isn't this a path toward destruction?

The woman's story was finished, but the jade box had not yet been opened, and Shen Xia's doubts were only half solved.

"You saved Xiaohua, right?" Shen Xia first asked the most relevant question about the phenomenon in Shibicun, "The malaria that is raging in the village was also spread by Xiaohua."

"To be precise, we all saved her together. She is not a sacrifice, and she is such a living life. No one can bear to let her sleep here with us."

Shen Xia approached the woman: "But you didn't expect that the resentment on your body would be transferred to her, making her become a human and a ghost. What about the malaria? Whose idea was it?"

"This is not anyone's idea, this is retribution. When they used secret techniques to trap us here, they should have thought that they would also have this day."

The secret technique the woman was talking about probably refers to the spells on the bones or corpse skin. Shen Xia didn't intend to ask any more questions. She raised her chin towards the woman: "It's time for you to open the box."

"Hehehehe," the woman covered her face and chuckled again, "Didn't you see that I am not a box like this? Then how can I open it?"

Shen Xia really saw it. From the perspective of the woman telling the story, she should have met the immortal and saw the prosperity and decline of Shibi Village. The jade box was only made after the immortal left, and It is impossible to become wise so early, so there is only one person who meets the conditions.

This woman is the incarnation of thousands of innocent souls under the water.

Shen Xia was not angry, but asked with a smile: "Do you think Xiaohua is a living life worth saving, but I deserve to be buried with you here?"

The woman's expression changed and she said nothing.

Shen Xia continued to walk towards the woman: "This lake is full of stagnant water, and the water is full of your grievances. The longer I stay in the water, these grievances will continue to enter my body. Tell me a story. , it’s just to delay time, what is your purpose of doing this? Do you expect to sacrifice me to make your Shibi Village prosper and grow again?”

The woman bit her lip and remained silent.

Shen Xia stepped forward and picked up the jade box. It was very light and weighed almost nothing. The jade box was indeed sealed, but what craftsmanship could there be at that time? Shen Xia exerted a little force, and the jade box turned into powder, and the triangular oval broken mirror inside appeared in Shen Xia's hands.

The small piece of broken mirror bloomed with brilliant light under the water. Even if there was only a small piece, Shen Xia could feel that the spiritual power contained in it seemed to be endless. And the mirror seemed to have intelligence. Shen Xia could feel it. to the kindness it unleashes upon itself.

It's strange, she has an inexplicable feeling of familiarity, as if this mirror should belong to her. Shen Xia has never had this feeling before. She doesn't know if this mirror is also a monster, and she actually wants to take it as her own.

"Why haven't you been corrupted by the lake water?" The woman couldn't help but ask. When she saw Shen Xia, she thought it was the immortal who had returned. Later it became clear that even if it wasn't the immortal, it was the one the immortal said was coming. The person who retrieves the fetish.

"It's very simple." Shen Xia raised her left hand, "I already cut my hand open as soon as I entered the water." There was a wound on Shen Xia's palm, and blood was constantly bleeding from the wound. This was indeed a simple and crude way to keep herself awake. Methods.

"I know you can't stop me," Shen Xia held the broken mirror. "If the story you told is true, then you can't resist what the immortal said. But I don't understand why you don't run away."

"Escape?" A complicated expression appeared on the woman's face. "Isn't it a great honor to sacrifice to the gods? Why should I...do you think I don't want to escape? Who will save us? !What a bullshit god! Just...wuwuwuwu...they said there is grandma here, I'm here to find grandma..."

There were many expressions on the woman's face, and even many different tones. It seemed that they were all sacrifices, some were voluntary, some were forced, and some were deceived, but without exception, they were all sacrificed forever. I am trapped here, living in this lake where the sun never shines, year after year.

Shen Xia was silent. She knew that people's emotions were complex and varied. She didn't know how to deal with this situation. They were all pitiful people. How could she wipe them out with her hands?

"I will save you," Shen Xia raised her head and looked at the woman seriously, "You shouldn't be trapped here. You should have a new life. Maybe you will be a bird and a fish in the next life. It is better than living here anyway." There are unwarranted gods guarding here. I can’t guarantee anything else, but no matter what, I will let you enter reincarnation and end this endless pain."

"Are you telling the truth?" the woman asked after being silent for a long time.

"It's true. I can swear with my Taoist heart. Although my cultivation is still shallow, I will try my best to solve this place and remove the secret skills from you. But you have to promise me not to interact with those in Shi Bicun Village again. People are entangled, and evil people will have their own troubles, and their cause and effect have long been determined."

"I promise you," the woman smiled, and Shen Xia could tell it was a sincere smile, "I believe you."

Shen Xia was about to swim up when the woman took out an orb from nowhere, which was also emitting brilliance. She said, "Take this, I don't know about you cultivators, but if you take the divine object directly, If you go up there, someone will snatch you away, so why not use this orb as a cover?"

"What is this orb?" Shen Xia was puzzled.

"It was also left by the immortal. She said that the mirror is yours, and you will need this orb."

? ? ? Do you still have feelings here?
