My backer is Chinese classical mythology

The straw dragon at the entrance of the village was carried by the villagers. The eyeless dragon is a dead thing, empty and swaying in the night with the dancing of young adults.It was completely different from the fire dragons Xie Yu had seen in his youth.The incense stuck on the straw dragon's body was also unlit.Village head Chen walked in front, the oil lamp in his hand flickering on and off.

When passing by Xie Yu and Yan Yan, he sneered and said, "You want to know what happened? Then just follow along and take a look. The whole village has changed since the spring festival in the year you left." Yan Yan felt Deceitful, grab Xie Yu.

"I have to go and see." Xie Yu shook his head.

Village Chief Chen said what he said, everything in the village is because of him.Whether it's fraudulent or not, he has to check it out.

"Then be careful." Yan Yan didn't think it was because she didn't want to accompany Xie Yu in.Instead, she considers that she can still assist in case of danger.It's not like both of them fall into the trap.

Xie Yu also understood this point, nodded and said: "Okay, if there is any abnormal situation, I will get out quickly." The straw dragon can only see a curved figure under the dark night, Xie Yu followed the team, cautiously walking.Yan Yan did not follow, but stood at the entrance of the village, watching the group of people leave.

Fortunately, there was a little bit of candlelight, so that Yan Yan could tell where those people went even if he was standing at the entrance of the village.While waiting, a voice suddenly appeared beside him. "It's about to start."

Chen Huaihua appeared next to Yan Yan at some point, without a child in her arms or back.Just looking ahead worriedly

"What?" Yan Yan stepped back half a step vigilantly, the Moonlight Wheel had already been summoned and surrounded her.Chen Huaihua raised her hand to avoid the moon flower wheel, as if she was very afraid.

After opening the distance with Yanyan, Chen Huaihua put down her hands, looked in the direction of the villagers holding the dazzle light,

"What happened that day is about to start again." Chen Huaihua turned around and looked at Yan Yan, "Go and save Mr. Xie, my father will sacrifice him to the old god in exchange for the old god to let go of the whole village and let him Villagers can be reincarnated."

"What do you mean? What does it mean to sacrifice Xie Yu?" Yan Yan looked at Chen Huaihua suddenly,

Under the moonlight, Chen Huaihua's honest and enthusiastic appearance in the day faded away, her eyes were desolate and numb.Looking at that piece of candlelight, it was as if I had seen the inevitable death of the villagers countless times.

"The old god is Mr. Xie's master. He is not dead." Chen Huaihua said with a sad expression, "After Mr. Xie left, the old god appeared. He was at the most lively spring festival in the village every year. He killed the villagers with his supernatural powers." Everyone. My dad got away with it because he wasn't feeling well that day."

"No one else in the village has a soul." Chen Huaihua floated in front of Yan Yan on tiptoe, with a ghostly shadow, "I was pushed to the entrance of the village by my child before I died, and my soul was captured by the big locust tree in the village. The tree was dipped. When my father woke up, he saw the death of the whole village. I came out from the big locust tree and told my father everything I knew. But I didn’t want to. I almost died of anger, but because of my hatred, I hang on for so many years."

Village head Chen was already ill and saw the tragic death of the villagers.Hearing her daughter's soul talk about the situation that day, she became anxious.

The resentment towards Xie Yu and the old immortal teacher and apprentice was why the village chief Chen and the big locust tree at the entrance of the village were linked through the soul of his daughter Chen Huaihua.Village head Chen supported the big pagoda tree with resentment and obsession.

The big locust tree awakens the jujube tree of the village head Chen’s house, and with the jujube tree as the center, an illusion is created in the whole village.All are alive and well.

Without a soul, they will repeat all the things in their lifetime every day.During the day, Chen Huaihua takes her children to play at the entrance of the village

The children under the locust tree will play their favorite games.At noon, go back to eat.

So, when Xie Yu and Yan Yan entered the village.

Seeing those children rushing away, some walking behind, some trotting home, in fact, it was not to tell the family members that outsiders had come to the village.But on the day they died, they rushed home to eat like this.

Chen Huaihua's memory is also because of the selfishness of the village chief, he forgot that everyone in the village is dead.

Ghosts don't need to eat, and since there is only Village Chief Chen alone, the old locust tree will not help the villagers to do farm work.Food is naturally getting less and less.

The excuse given by the village head Chen to Chen Huaihua, who is the only one who has the ability to judge, is that the harvest in the village is not good and there is no protection from the old god.

The lush green vegetables outside the village were caused by the repeated intrusion of ghost energy and the impact of the day's yang energy, and the illusion created by the old locust tree nearby, which also made the old village chief's words more convincing.

Today, because Xie Yu and Yan Yan forced their way out of the village, they injured the old locust tree.

The old locust tree didn't have so much spiritual power to erase Chen Huaihua's memory again, and now, Chen Huaihua remembered everything and told Yan Yan the truth

Yan Yan controlled Yuehualun and asked Chen Huaihua, "Do you still remember how you were killed? I didn't see any scars on your bodies."

Chen Huaihua shook her head, but still touched her neck, and said, "We don't remember how the old god shot him, but our neck hurts. I was pushed by my father. When I fell at the entrance of the village, I No other senses."

"Neck?" Yan Yan thought of the organ man he saw in Tianfu City.Is Xie Yu's master still a Yanshi? The same way of killing people.

And Chen Huaihua said that the people in the village have lost their souls, and she was accidentally hidden by the old locust tree.Yanshi needs to measure the soul to create a half-living puppet.it all makes sense

"Girl, go, my father is crazy. The old god did those things, but Mr. Xie is innocent." Chen Huaihua still remembered that day when the old god suddenly appeared and killed them.Even though he kept saying that it was all because of Xie Yu.But Chen Huaihua could tell that the old god just wanted to kill them.What does it have to do with Mr. Xie? They are masters and apprentices.

The biggest connection between the villagers and their masters and apprentices is that they cooked some meals for Mr. Xie every day in the early years.And go up the mountain to seek medicine

Did the old gods kill them for food or for medicine? Chen Huaihua was just not that smart, not stupid.

Or maybe it's because she is a dead person, and she looks at this matter more rationally than Village Chief Chen who is still alive.After all, no one can empathize with Village Chief Chen.

After a serious illness, when he woke up again, everyone was dead.The living one is the most painful

"The old god once told us that if we can bring Mr. Xie back and offer sacrifices to Mr. Xie, everyone's souls will be returned." There are many fragmented clues in Yanyan's head, but there has never been a definite complete one. Conclusion Until Chen Huaihua said this sentence.

"You mean, it was the old god who told you that if you sacrifice Xie Yu, you can return the souls of the people in your village?" Chen Huaihua nodded, "The old god also said that Mr. Xie is the most kind, and he will definitely return to you when the time comes." I will agree." Yanyan never forgot what Nezha said.The way of heaven reversed time and changed the development of things.

What was changed was not only those things that Tiandao wanted to change, but also Tai Weiyuan, or other people's choices.What if the old fairy Chen Huaihua was talking about had something that could predict the future?

Although this is just Yan Yan's wishful thinking, from Xie Yu's attitude towards the fate book at the beginning, Tai Weiyuan's design towards him, as well as Tianxing Pavilion, Xiaoshan Village, Yanshi... Are there really so many coincidences? "Thank you. I'll go find him now. After I rescue Xie Yu, I'll find a way to save the souls of the villagers." Yan Yan was still jealous and malicious about Village Chief Chen.Now, all that remains is indescribable complexity.

One person guards the village, watching the people who come and go every day, repeating every scene before their death day after day.No wonder Village Chief Chen hated the old god and Xie Yu so much.

Chen Huaihua originally wanted to remind Yanyan to save Xie Yu, but she didn't expect Yanyan to take care of their village affairs.

Kneeling on the ground in excitement, his face was full of sadness and gratitude, "Thank you for your great kindness! Whether it is successful or not, the girl is our benefactor." Their village is in a mountain depression, and they have little contact with the outside world.

Not to mention monks and celestial masters, even people outside the village don't know a few.

Yan Yan's willingness to promise to help them is undoubtedly a ray of hope for Chen Huaihua in the midst of despair.After saying goodbye to Chen Huaihua, Yan Yan drove the Yuehua Wheel to the place where the candlelight appeared.As soon as I arrived, I saw Xie Yu surrounded by those villagers

The villagers were unconscious, but the dead branch in Chen's hand was exactly the branch of the old locust tree, which could be used to temporarily control the villagers.

Mr. Xie, it's not that I insist on harming you.It was the old god who said, if you don't die, these people in our village will be scattered.They died because of you.Just be an old man, I beg you, as long as you die, our whole village can come back to life.They will go to reincarnation and maybe return to the village later. "

Village head Chen hunched over, and his voice was blown to pieces in the night wind.He hates Xie Yu.Hate the old fairy

How much I respected this pair of master and apprentice in the past.

After that incident, Village Chief Chen hated them so much.

He made a contract with the old locust tree with his blood and soul, and when the matter was over, he would dig a hole under the root of the old locust tree and bury himself in it to fend for himself.Nourish the old locust tree with flesh and blood, and turn the soul into the nutrient of the old locust tree, so as to repay the old locust tree for its help to the village over the years

"Master Xie, I watch how they are killed by the old gods every day. When I close my eyes, all I can think of is their death. If they are to be scattered, I really can't accept it. What has our village ever done? Something outrageous?"

Village Chief Chen's voice was harsh, and he angrily tapped the ground a few times with a dead stick.

I even started to go crazy with God, "As long as you die. We will strike quickly and you won't feel pain. You are a god, maybe you have a way to come back to life? They say saving a life wins." Build a seven-level pagoda, Mr. Xie, please show mercy and help us!"

Seeing Xie Yu standing there still indifferent, Village Chief Chen began to play the emotional card.

"Do you remember him? Chen San, he used to go hunting in the mountains when he was a child, and he would call you when he encountered any good things." "And her. She sewed the clothes you wore back then. "

"And her! When you were brought by the old god, you were a newborn milk baby, and our village tried to raise you up!" Xie Yu looked at those familiar faces.They were expressionless and their eyes were empty.

It's not that he doesn't remember what Village Chief Chen said, but he doesn't understand it.Why did things develop to this point?

"Shut up!" When Yan Yan rushed over, she just heard that Village Chief Chen wanted to use such an emotional card to force Xie Yu to make a choice.The little sympathy I felt for Village Chief Chen just now has dissipated a lot.

"There is a grievance and a debtor. The one who caused your village's disaster was the old god you said, not Xie Yu. Why did Xie Yu sacrifice his life?" Village Chief Chen looked at Yan Yan who came, and then at the team There is no figure of her daughter Chen Huaihua in the film, what else is unclear?

"Village Chief, we are also very sad that your village has encountered such a thing, but sacrificing Xie Yu will only make the enemy happy. Do you really want to do this?" Village Chief Chen looked at Yan Yan resentfully, "You guys Of course these monks can stand and talk without pain in their backs."

"I really can't empathize with you." Yan Yan admitted that the word empathy itself is a comforting word.No one can truly understand the pain in the other person's heart, and where does the empathy come from?

"But I know, if you really followed what the old fairy said, wouldn't you be fooled? He has killed so many people in the village with all his heart, how do you know that he didn't keep you on purpose?"

Yan Yan also thought clearly on the road, and said to Xie Yu: "I suspect that your master is the Siming Xingjun who hides in the depths of Taiweiyuan. Otherwise, how can he calculate that you will come to this village one day?" ? Then intentionally leave the village head as a living person, a living person who is full of resentment towards you."

Yan Yan even suspected that Xie Yu's master trained him for a purpose since he was a child. He trained Xie Yu to be an upright and kind person who would sympathize with the weak and take responsibility.

Tell Xie Yu again, no matter how outrageous and sad the things you see, as a commanding officer, you can't intervene to change it, even if it is against the laws of nature and justice.

Asking Xie Yu to take on the responsibilities of the Xie family, it was as if he had put on a shackle on his own initiative, letting him walk forward with the shackles all the time.

Only in this way, when the falsity of the fate book broke out, Xie Yu's basic morality would continue to torment his heart because of his familiarity in the past, and it was the same this time.

With the hatred of village head Chen and Xie Yu's love for the village since childhood, Xie Yu was forced to make a choice, sacrifice himself, and Xie Yu could be eliminated.

Choosing to refuse to sacrifice will also make Xie Yu fall into self-doubt and moral trial again.It's not the soul that Si He calculates.

The identity of the soul and other masters is only incidental.What he calculated was Xie Yu's heart!
