Chapter 042: "Superstition" in the Mythical World
"The days by the well, Cuilan can be described as worrying. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"At first, she wanted to squirm and escape, in human society, there is a danger of being eaten if you are not careful."
"However, the villagers of Gao Laozhuang are very simple, no one knows such a rarity as 'Tai Sui', and the whole village has not recognized her body. Abandoned at the well, she was treated at most as a toy by one or two naughty boys, and no one wanted to shout and kill her. β
So, Cuilan gradually put her mind at ease and settled in Gao Laozhuang with peace of mind.
"As Tai Sui, she doesn't need to eat any food, as long as there is air, she can live."
"That's it, time just like this, day by day, year by year."
"Time flies, and the children who kicked her as a toy have grown up, grown old, and died."
"As time passed, a new generation of children was born, and when she toyed and played with her, then these new children grew up again, grew old, and died. Day after day, year after year, hundred years after hundred years, for a long-lived life like Cuilan, a hundred years is a lifetime. β
"Over the years, Cuilan has gradually regarded herself as a member of the village and has developed a deep affection for this village."
"The folk have a saying that 'Tai Sui is endless, and cutting a piece of meat can be resurrected', which is wrong, Tai Sui's growth is very slow, and it is not inexhaustible. But it is undeniable that Cuilan is indeed growing every day, accumulating the essence in her body little by little. β
"Five hundred years later, the essence in her body has reached the point where she can transform into shape."
"So, she didn't hesitate to transform, she wanted to become a real human and live with the villagers."
"The desire for human society has made Cuilan's aesthetics gradually tend to the level of human beings, and she has become a very beautiful girl, so beautiful that the flowers lose their color, and she is as beautiful as a fairy in the sky."
"And when the people in the village saw her, they were really shocked, and they really regarded her as a fairy, and they entertained her."
"She gave herself a name and called it 'Gao Cuilan' because the surname in the village is generally Gao. Although she didn't think the name 'Cuilan' was very nice, no one in the village had ever read a book, and they generally took such a name, so she called it so in order to follow the local customs. β
"Human life is completely different from what it was when I was Tai Sui."
"In those days, Cuilan lived and ate with humans, she really felt as if she was a human, and she was ready to live like this."
"However, there is a saying that is really true, people are not as good as heaven."
"It didn't take long for such days to continue, and a disaster quietly befell the village."
"The livestock in the village began to die one after another, and the cause of death was all a variety of minor diseases, and they died."
"No one in the villagers of Gaolaozhuang has ever read a book, they are very frightened, guessing that it is a plague, so they invited a veterinarian from other places, and after looking at it for a long time, they did not come to know what kind of phenomenon this is, whether there is a plague or not."
"However, Gao Cuilan knows what the reason is, she is too old, so she knows."
"She knew it was a plague, but it was a plague like never before."
"The so-called plague is a series of collective diseases caused by the invasion of certain evil poisons in the air into the human body, this phenomenon is continuous, and if one person gets sick, all the people around him will get sick. Cuilan lives by eating these 'evil poisons' on weekdays, and gradually transforms them into essence. β
"This plague has been hidden in the village for a long time, and this evil poison has a certain latent nature, and it will not break out until a certain period of time. Cuilan sensed this evil poison from the beginning, but since 'evil poison' is also divided into types, she did not realize the harm of this kind of evil poison, and it was not until the outbreak of the plague that she realized the seriousness of the matter. β
"Cuilan has been observing this evil poison for a long time, but she has never learned any clues."
"This evil poison is very strange, it seems to be latent in livestock earlier than humans, but it has no ability to directly kill lives, and all the lives that die are caused by some minor diseases that can be cured by themselves."
"This kind of evil poison seems to be more like a 'guided' poison."
"Because she doesn't understand the nature of the evil poison, Cuilan has no means to save her, because these evil poisons have actually invaded long ago, and they are latent in people and livestock, and it is impossible for her to eat these evil poisons that have been lurking in the human body."
"After many days of observation to no avail, at this time, the evil poison hidden in the village's body finally began to erupt."
"One child died, then the child's parents died, and then the surrounding villagers began to die one after another."
"Cuilan didn't have any choice, she could only look at these familiar faces, dying in front of her eyes one by one."
"In the end, she really couldn't bear to let these simple villagers, these villagers who had been with her for five years, die miserably one after another, so she made a decision."
"She cut off pieces of her flesh and threw them into the village well."
"Tai Sui's meat can prolong life and cure all diseases, and only by doing so can we save the lives of these villagers."
"The end of doing this is a lot of consumption of the essence she has accumulated over the years."
"And once the essence is lost too much, there is a danger of falling into a deep sleep or even turning back to its original form."
"However, Cuilan has no regrets, because if it continues like this, Gao Laozhuang's five-hundred-year inheritance will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and everyone will die under this plague."
"However, I thought that things could finally be saved, but at this time, something even worse happened-"
"None of the villagers had ever read a book, and they didn't know that this was really a plague, an unprecedented plague, but they began to suspect that there were monsters in the village."
"So they spent money to invite a warlock from other places, known as 'Iron Half Immortal', who claimed to be as unsympathetic to all demons and monsters as iron, but in fact he was just a demon who knew a little about Taoism and deceived him to eat and drink."
"This demon Dao is not very capable, and there is some goods in his stomach, and he immediately pointed out the fact that there are monsters in the village."
"The villagers suddenly realized, under the leadership of the iron half-immortal, after several searches, they finally found Cuilan's residence."
"Found the so-called monster, the villagers began to scold outside the house, scolding Cuilan for being a monster and a harmful spirit, and asked her to get out of Gao Laozhuang and stop harming people again. Some people even used stones to smash the windows of Cuilan's house and smash the doors. β
"Listening to the abuse of these familiar people, Cuilan's heart is dripping blood, really, dripping blood."
