After being forced to debut in metaphysics, I became popular

Just when Yan Shixun was in a daze because his mind was full of Ye Li, the ground under his feet suddenly became uneven and changed.

Under the muddy and wet village road watered by heavy rain, yellow and black mud surged, and rotten arms broke through the ground.

The flesh-and-blood palms firmly grasped the mud, and forcefully pulled up the body buried deep in the mud.

Yan Shixun immediately returned to his mind after being distracted for a few seconds, and saw the scene in front of him.

The rotting corpses got up from the mud, and the heavy rain washed away the mud on their bodies, revealing the bluish white flesh under the broken clothes, and even the pale skeletons that were faintly exposed.

The entire village road... No, it's under the entire village's land, and there are corpses buried everywhere.

From the faintly visible patterns on the remaining clothes on their bodies, Yan Shixun realized that these dead bodies were probably villagers from Nancun before they were alive.

This judgment made Yan Shixun slightly widen his eyes.

In this way, Nantian may be the last person left in Nancun.

But now, these corpses staggered towards Yan Shixun, their outstretched arms penetrated the rain curtain, as if they wanted to catch Yan Shixun.

At the same time, Yan Shixun suddenly felt that something caught him under his feet.

He looked down, and found that at some point, Qingbai's stiff arms stretched out from the soil under his feet, holding his legs tightly.

The master next to him looked calm, he looked at Yan Shixun with a smile, and asked in a gentle voice: "The guest came from outside the mountain, clothed in rich clothes and well-fed, but has he ever seen suffering in the world?"

"I have seen all the poor people in this village, all the innocent lives that were sacrificed, they have seen it too."

The master's expression was compassionate, and when he lowered his eyebrows, he looked like a clay statue of a god and Buddha placed high on the altar.

"Look, guests, they all died in pain, asking why the heavens were so unfair to them."

The master said softly: "Why is it that some people can wear fine clothes and have no worries about food and clothing, while others have to live a hard life and suffer so much."

He raised his hand and gently brushed away the broken hair on the face of the dead body in his arms.

Although he was very afraid of Shigong, Yan Shixun didn't plan to disturb him before he found out his real intention, so he didn't interrupt Shigong, but just followed his movements.

The young pregnant woman died due to dystocia, her face was still grim and painful, her skin was gradually pale and mottled, her eyes were wide open, and she could not rest in peace.

Although she is young, her exhausted body makes her extremely weak, her limbs are thin, only her belly is huge, she looks extremely uncoordinated, and she is horrified.

The foul-smelling blood flowed down from the dead woman's body, staining the master's silver-white robe red.

But he didn't care at all, he just gently straightened the broken hair on her face that was soaked in sweat, and then stretched out his palm, brushing her eyes lightly.

He closed his eyes for her.

And the face of the young woman also calmed down at that moment.

The corners of his mouth curled into a smile.

The master sighed and said with pity: "Her mother-in-law wants a boy, and every baby girl will be sacrificed by her mother-in-law, and she wants to beg for a boy next. However, she herself has other wishes. So..."

He raised his head, looked at Yan Shixun quietly, and said softly, "So, I have made a decision."

"This world is too bitter, and someone has to do something for them. If there is no way to do anything, then... I am willing to give it a try."

Yan Shixun looked at Shigong's calm face, and suddenly, like a blessing to his heart, Shigong's words were the last fragments, making him figure out what Shigong did back then.

Nancun has its own inheritance and customs, and they have ancient worship closer to nature.

For example, offering sacrifices to the gods.

In order to fulfill the wishes of the villagers, they will sacrifice the corpses of their dead relatives to their "gods" in order to beg for money and peace.

Or give birth to a boy.

However, the people in Nancun didn't know that righteous gods would not be sacrificed by humans, no matter before or after the collapse of the avenue.

And when the Dao is about to fall, all the gods have already made up for the Dao with their bodies, and there are no gods in the world.

Even more so, the sacrifices in Nancun could not be handed over to the gods.

Among them, someone sneaked in and took away the sacrifices that the people of Nancun wanted to sacrifice to the "god".

Because of this, the man's strength increased, and he also became the "god" of Nanming Mountain.

——That person, or "God", is Shigong.

Because of this, Yan Shixun saw the corpse being sent to the three-way intersection before, and was picked up by the master.

However, what Shigong said to Yan Shixun now made Yan Shixun realize that after receiving the power of sacrifice, Shigong probably used this power to do something to Nancun.

Yan Shixun looked at Shigong with a shockingly cold look.

But at this time, the never-ending talisman that had been chanting silently in his heart finally had an effect under the restraint of his master, and opened a gap, allowing him to regain control of his body within a limited range.

Yan Shixun gritted his teeth and asked his master, "What did you do?"

As soon as the words came out, the master stopped his movements in surprise, he never thought that Yan Shixun would be able to do such a thing under such a disadvantage.

For a moment, Shigong looked at Yan Shixun with admiration in his eyes, no longer looking down from above as before, but as if he was looking at someone of the same kind.

And Yan Shixun also realized at this time that his voice was very hoarse.

He knew that it was because the conjecture in his heart... was too cruel, making him feel sad even if he imagined it a little bit.

Changshou Village is in the lower reaches of Nanming Mountain, but even the upstream villages are called Changshou Village, and the way of entering is so unique, and the state of the villagers is so weird.

Yan Shixun checked carefully, the old people in Changshou Village downstream only had plenty of vitality in their bodies, even their appearances were good, and there was no sign of any crisis.

In addition, when he was in the village, if it wasn't for the chrysanthemum petal he took from the old woman's garden, his memory would always have problems, and he would forget all the things that made him worry and guard, and he would just relax and be happy all the time. .

Such an abnormal state, coupled with Shigong saying that he wants to make life free from pain, will only make Yan Shixun come up with a guess.

——The problematic memory is what Master did.

However, the most serious one belongs to the Changshou Village upstream.

The few words recorded by the hiking team leader's desperate struggle, as well as all the records available in the small wooden building, all point to the same fact.

Those who claim to settle in Longevity Village will all die downstream, and then appear in Longevity Village through death to obtain their "new life".

But not all of them will be truly reborn.

Many people never came back after being called away by Liu Ming.But people like Liu Ming, who have experienced similar experiences to those people, still live normally in Changshou Village.

In the same state as Liu Ming, there are still some villagers.

Although Yan Shixun didn't have the opportunity to visit the homes of those villagers, he could see the same situation as Liu Ming from the faces of some people he met.

In their horoscope, there is no death or crisis.

It's as if their life is the state of those blessings and auspicious words.

Full of vitality, even, too much vitality.

Because of this, it is even more unusual.

What plant is ever free from deadwood?

fake flowers.

Always green and beautiful, time and state are frozen at the same time.

This is Liu Ming and the others, as beautiful as fake flowers.

On the way back to the village chief's house, Yan Shixun also saw the villagers carrying white lanterns.

At that time, although Yan Shixun was puzzled, he couldn't make a judgment because of the incomplete information he got, so he could only keep the doubt in his heart temporarily.

But now, all the pieces are connected, and the fragments of thinking gradually piece together the complete truth.

Yan Shixun realized that all the villagers he found weird were because of their vitality.

However, the state of the villagers is still different from one villager to another, and there are subtle differences in the feelings they bring to Yan Shixun.

If you want to say, those like Yanana are finished products, while some of the lantern-carrying villagers are still only half-finished products.

Their happiness and stability are only on the surface, and the wailing and pleading for help from the soul are still hidden under the skin.

The soul instinctively felt that something was wrong, so even though there was only the last trace of strength left, they still desperately sent out a signal for help to the outside world, begging passing ghosts and gods to save them, and begging anyone to take their soul away.

Under the dull and stiff appearance of that part of the villagers, the soul almost shed tears of blood.

Yan Shixun's heart was trembling. The final result of this conjecture was too tragic. If his conjecture was correct, it would mean that hundreds of thousands of lives had been killed, and even their souls had perished.

However, his handsome face did not reveal his true emotions, his eyebrows and eyes looking at Shigong were still sharp and firm, and he quietly waited for Shigong to give him a response.

Master failed to see what Yan Shixun was thinking.

But even so, just Yan Shixun's success in resisting him at this time has already made him admire in his heart.

The master smiled and asked Yan Shixun: "From the time when the guests saw through the problem of the river water, but still had the courage to step into the river, I know that you and the people who came to Changshou Village to beg for longevity and happiness in the past are the same. different."

"But even so, I still didn't expect..."

The master's eyes looked at Yan Shixun carefully from head to toe. This kind of eyes made Yan Shixun feel like he was something for sale, and he frowned unhappily.

But at the same time, Yan Shixun was secretly puzzled.

Why didn't he feel so sick when Ye Li looked at him?Is it because of Ye Li's identity as a ghost?

If it wasn't for Yan Shixun being unable to move for the time being, and his rationality was also telling him not to act casually, so as not to startle the snake.

Otherwise, the uncontrollable rage in his heart would make him want to rush straight over and pick out the master's eyeballs.

But in the next second, Shigong's voice drew Yan Shixun's attention back.

"Perhaps Tiandao also agreed with my approach, and turned his luck towards me."

The master's tone was full of surprise, and even broke his voice, tearing away the illusion of compassion before, revealing the hypocrisy and greed hidden underneath.

This made him pull him from the lofty altar that was not stained with mortal dust into the dust of the world.

Master said happily: "I didn't expect that it would be a born evil ghost!"

He couldn't hide the joy on his face, and said with emotion: "It took me decades, exhausted thousands of sacrifices, and repeated thousands of times between Yin and Yang, before I managed to catch it in the chaotic place where Yin and Yang meet. Heaven."

"But I didn't expect that the way of heaven favored me so much, and when I was about to achieve great success, it sent the evil ghost to my bone - this was something I didn't even dare to think about."

As for the born evil spirit into the bones, the master has only heard the legends, but has never seen the real existence.

This made him think for a while that the inborn evil ghost is just a regrettable imagination of the predecessors, a short-lived miracle, but it is not a human thing.

Entering the human body with evil spirits, Yin and Yang blend in one body, Yin and Yang coexist in a cycle, reaching the origin of the Dao, and coexisting with the Dao from birth...

As shocking as it may sound, there is a fundamental problem.

——If the human body can bear the cold ghost energy?

Even if the evil ghost enters the bone phase and is successfully born into the world, the surrounding ghost energy will continue to invade the evil ghost's bone phase body. It is difficult to survive the fragile baby period, how can it survive until adulthood?

Therefore, even though Shigong is very interested in even a piece of dead bone or a dead body, he knows that as long as he has the corpse of the evil ghost in his hand, it will be a happy event for the completion of his plan, but he Still have to give up this idea with regret.

How could there be?Don't even expect to see the bones of the evil ghosts who have survived successfully.

It is also because of this that when he first saw Yan Shixun, the master did not recognize Yan Shixun's bones, and only regarded him as a ghost exorcist with some skills outside the mountain.

It wasn't until Yan Shixun was in the world completely controlled by him, but he was still able to break free from the disadvantage, that the master was stunned, checked Yan Shixun carefully again, and found...

Under the avenue, there is really a miracle!

The master smiled and said to Yan Shixun: "Although our ways of passing on and practicing are different, we all lead to the same goal. Our goals are always the same."

"Don't you want those people to be happy forever without having to suffer any more? People beg for longevity, but now, I have done it. I have made the villagers of Changshou Village live together with the Dao of Heaven and Earth. There will be more pain."

"And now, as long as you're with me."

Shigong's eyes were shining brightly, as if he had already seen the realization of his goal: "I occupy the world of Nanming Mountain, you are with Dao, and the strengths we each possess are combined... the whole world will be ours .”

"By then, not only the villagers of Nanming Mountain, but also all, everyone in the wider land!"

Master's voice was trembling, unable to hide his excitement: "All lives will no longer suffer, and all people will no longer have to endure life, death, and illness. They will be in happiness forever, forever..."

However, Yan Shixun's indifferent and even disgusted expression was in stark contrast to the excited expression of the master.

Yan Shixun looked at Shigong as if he was looking at a funny flea dancing around.

Those words that the master said not only failed to impress Yan Shixun, but made Yan Shixun feel even more absurd and ridiculous after a moment of astonishment.

He said that he wanted to make all living beings happy, but what the master did was to turn those people into monsters who were neither human nor ghost, neither alive nor dead, and even the remaining souls were trapped in the dead bodies and could not leave. .

Even, the original source of master's power was the corpses of those who were forced to death in Nancun.

The so-called happiness based on death is nothing but fake compassion stained with blood.

Yan Shixun frowned, looking at Master with contemptuous contempt.

"What if I say no."

Yan Shixun sneered: "In my opinion, your so-called goal is so ridiculous that even a dog would dislike it if passing by. Want me to join?"

He hooked his lips and smiled contemptuously: "Oh."

Yan Shixun's words made the master's excitement stop abruptly.

Master's face turned cold, his benevolent face before was like a false mask, but at this time, he showed his original expression.

But soon, Master laughed again.

"That's okay."

Master said softly: "As long as it is a ghost, even a corpse, it can be used for the same purpose."

"Since I made the decision decades ago, I have never imagined that I can see a living evil spirit enter the bones."

A strange smile appeared on the master's face: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to... your corpse will be willing."

Before the words were finished, those arms sticking out of the mud and holding on to Yan Shixun's arms suddenly got into trouble, and climbed up even more swiftly, like vines entangled with a big tree, trying to take away the nutrients of the big tree And the sun strangled the big tree between the vines.

On the dead tree, the vines can bloom.

Just like... what Master has always done.

A pair of muddy arms grabbed Yan Shixun's calves, and gradually grabbed his thighs, waist...

On the rain-soaked clothes, incomplete palm prints were left, mixed with black and red blood and mud, which looked weird and embarrassing.

Carrion corpses broke out of the ground, almost surrounded Yan Shixun, and the corpses on the village road were also very close to Yan Shixun, and Yan Shixun could even feel the cold air coming from them.

It is the unique coldness of the dead, so that the living can feel the fear from the soul just by touching it.

But Yan Shixun was not affected in the slightest, he didn't even give those horrific rotting corpses a look, instead he took off his coat and quickly spun it in his hand to catch those who were rushing towards him. Rotting corpses enveloped it.

The cashmere coat had soaked up the rain and became extremely heavy.

When it fell into Yan Shixun's hands, it became the most powerful weapon, which made those rotting corpses caught off guard, and the heavy coat made it difficult for the rotting corpses to move stiffly. A vacuum zone was formed around Yan Shixun, and the rotting corpses were nothing to fear.

At almost the same moment, the spell that Yan Shixun was chanting silently took effect, and the gap that had been torn open before became bigger and bigger, finally allowing him to completely break free from the master's oppression, and regain his freedom of movement.

He kicked down his long legs fiercely, and his Martin boots mercilessly stepped on the head of the carrion, making the swollen face of the carrion make a loud "Boom!" like a popped balloon, and the flesh and blood It splashed all over the ground, drenching the other carrion corpses under his feet with blood and flesh.

And Yan Shixun took advantage of his strength, like an arrow leaving the string, he rushed straight to the master at an extremely fast speed, and even threw away the rain curtain around him, making an explosion sound that pierced the air.

Yan Shixun's eyes were as bright as a knife's edge, and a section of sharp eyebrows and eyes were exposed between the wet hair, which was irresistibly sharp.

His gaze was firmly fixed on the master in front of him, and his palms were closed like knives, pointing directly at the master's throat.

"...with my divine party, it is ominous to receive it."

The last few words of the incantation were scattered in the air in a low voice.

Yan Shixun's palm was entangled with golden light, and he looked so righteous in the gloomy rain, even the unconscious carrion corpses around him ran away instinctively for survival.

Master slowly opened his eyes wide, and looked at Yan Shixun in disbelief.

He didn't expect that the evil ghost's body was so powerful!

But under the horror, Shigong's face was full of excitement. He looked at Yan Shixun excitedly, and at the same time stretched out his hand with the intention of winning.

"Pfft!"
