Chapter 667: Treating the Symptoms But Not the Root Cause

It is clear that September has not yet been the autumn equinox, but everyone already feels cold, like falling into an ice cellar.

"If you notice something wrong, tell us earlier. The village chief said with a solemn expression.

Compared to Mei Rindong, who was trembling with fear, Yu Ling seemed much calmer, and just asked in a deep voice, "This matter ...... Does it have anything to do with the curse of your village?"

The village chief sighed softly: "I don't know, there are too many mysterious and unknown secrets on the Shenye Peak, many villagers will see some strange creatures when they go to the top of the mountain in the middle of the night, and less than one percent of them have escaped back, so a certain village chief has issued a ban and does not allow villagers to take risks privately." ”

"What creature? are there any specific records?" asked Yuling.

"There is a special place to store secret records, ancient books, diaries and other materials, but ......" The village chief shook his head with a wry smile and said: "It's too difficult to figure out the root of the curse, there are quite a few Phantom God peak cultivators who have died in our village over the years, even if you read all the information, it won't help." ”

Yu Ling looked directly at him and said, "Then is it just so peaceful and waiting for death?" Village Chief, you also know very well in your heart, the method of transferring the curse is to treat the symptoms but not the root cause after all, and if you don't figure out the ins and outs, this matter will not be completely over." ”

The village chief's face was a little ugly, and he looked at him again and again.

Yu Ling said lightly: "Actually, you are also in a dilemma, otherwise since you have successfully transferred the curse, why don't you directly promote the whole village and let everyone be liberated?"

"In my guess, this method is not going to work smoothly at all, you can only transfer the curse of some villagers at most, and then ...... It is bound to be strongly hindered and suppressed. ”

The village chief was silent for a long time, and barely squeezed out a smile and said: "The young people now are really powerful, but these have nothing to do with you, and I will transfer the curse on you later, and you can leave here." ”

"The village chief doesn't understand what we're here for, and although this matter is much more tricky than I thought, it's all come to this point, and it's never my choice to escape and retreat, I must find the source of the curse. Yu Ling said resolutely.

He looked closely into the eyes of the village chief, and said slowly: "Or, village chief, you don't need our help at all? Would you rather cowardly take one step at a time and only save a small number of villagers? But you can't do it, in the end, you can't save anyone, you can only wait slowly for a hundred years to die." ”

"No! I can undo the curse of dozens of people right now!" the village chief snapped out with some gaffe.

Yu Ling sneered: "You can't, you actually know it, so why deceive yourself? The whole village has transferred the curse, you are the only one, I just saw it, your wife is still asleep in the house." I'll ask you the simplest question, these dozens of people...... How are you going to choose?"

The village chief was shocked, and his face became even more haggard and pale.

"There is such a story that the end of the world has come, but there is only one ship...... Well, don't ask me what a spaceship is, in short, it can carry hundreds of people to escape from the disaster, so the upper elites of society, the rich, the important leaders, and so on have already occupied the quota, just when they are about to flee, a spaceship repairman resents that his family can't get a quota, so he secretly does something, causing the spaceship to fail to start, and eventually everyone dies. ”

Yu Ling said calmly: "If only a very few people can survive, the final result will only be that everyone will end up together." Even without the repairman, someone else would blow up the ship. Because tolerance, forbearance, modesty, and kindness are all things that can only be nurtured in an era of peace and stability, but when faced with the hope of deciding life and death, all the good things will be torn apart by the instinct to survive. ”

"Village chief, are you naΓ―ve enough to think that the remaining hundreds of villagers will willingly give up hope and fulfill those few dozen people, right?"

"Or do you still have a fluke, thinking that you can transfer the curse of all the villagers little by little? If it were so easy, the ancestors would have ...... long ago."

"That's enough!" the muscles on the village chief's cheeks twitched a few times, his deep-set eye sockets looked a little gloomy in the pale glimmer, he stopped and stared at Yu Ling, his eyes flashed countless complex emotions, some were angry, some were sad, some were helpless, some were jealous, and there was a trace of indescribable weirdness.

Song Haotang and the others looked at the village chief in surprise, not understanding why he reacted so violently.

The village chief gasped a few times, finally calmed down, lowered his head slightly and continued to lead the way, and said meaninglessly: "Since you insist, I will give you the key later, and you can read whatever information you want to see, if you can still hold on." ”

Chi Yuzheng said worriedly: "That's right, Captain, you were about to fall asleep just now, wouldn't it be easier to get sleepy when you read those materials later?"

"Don't worry, even if I fall asleep, I'll wake up, not as serious as you think. Yuling said.

Maybe because of the special bloodline, his situation is much better than others, anyway, Yuling feels that he will not sleep to death. Moreover, he is now in the middle stage of soul transformation, unless the soul sea is severely damaged and shattered, it will be difficult for Gu Yong to help him, so there is no need to worry about anything.

"But you ......"

"I know my situation. ”

Chi Yuzheng and the others looked at each other, but Yuling was not the kind of person who liked to joke around, since he said so, it should be true.

Mei Rindong said whimsically: "Could it be that the Blood Condensation Martial Artist has a good physique, so he has a certain resistance to curses?"

Yuling shook his head and didn't speak, let them guess.

There were a lot of locked rooms on both sides of the long passage, and I didn't know what was going on inside, Mei Rindong asked curiously, but the village chief simply perfunctory, and didn't seem to intend to talk deeply.

All the way to the deepest part of the passage, suddenly opened up in front of me, revealing a room of several hundred square meters, a large altar made of rocks occupied eight-tenths of the room, but it was very crudely built, although it looked similar to an altar, but it did not seem to be used to worship the gods.

At the top of the altar seemed to lie a man, his eyes closed and motionless, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

The village chief explained: "This is a villager who volunteered to come and help me do the experiment, but when it is his turn, the success rate is already very high, and if it succeeds this time, it will basically prove that this method is feasible." ”

Mei Lindong was surprised: "Didn't the captain tell you just now, this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and you still want to go your own way?"

The village chief was silent for a while and said, "I won't give up until he comes up with a better way." ”

He raised his head and glanced at Yu Ling meaningfully: "However, I sincerely hope that his arrival will change the fate of our village that has been cursed for hundreds of years. ”

Chi Yuzheng said without hesitation: "The captain is very powerful, you have to have confidence in him! By the way, speaking of which, we still don't know what your name is and how old you are the village chief?"

"My name is Fan Diekun, I have four Chinese New Year's Eve today, time flies so fast, I took over the burden four years ago and began to devote myself to studying the method of breaking the curse, but unfortunately...... It's hard work, but it's what you call treating the symptoms but not the root cause. The village chief smiled bitterly.

Zhu Hongya comforted softly: "Village chief, don't be too sad, we will help you find a way." ”

"Then thank you very much, now Xiao Pan is at a critical juncture, I'm afraid I won't be able to help your captain transfer the curse, it should be another five or six days, I wonder if your captain can still hold on?" Fan Diekun said apologetically.

"So long?" the group was stunned.

Yu Ling just looked up at the altar, and suddenly asked out loud, "Village Chief, can you tell me about how you transferred the curse?"
