Looking at the harmless girl in front of me, when I learned her true identity, I was immediately stunned.

This girl, she is actually the elder sister of Lao Fei, a character trapped in a bronze coffin twenty years ago.

At the moment, I don't know how to describe my feelings, I am so shocked.

She...... It turned out to be Liang Qingying wearing a grimace mask, the woman who gave me a dream before.

It was because of her that Yan Xiaoying and I came here.

She hadn't been seen at Ghost Hill before, and I thought she could avoid us, at least not so soon.

But for now......

She actually recognized Lao Fei like this, and looking at the latter's appearance, she behaved very normally, and her expression did not show any surprise and strangeness.

"How about Lao Yan? I can't say anything when I see my sister? What bad idea is it to stare at people stupidly? "Old Fat's voice pulled me back from the shock to reality.

Although I knew that it might be true, I still couldn't accept it.

One is as beautiful as a fairy, and the other looks like a pig's head, although they were born to half-parents, but the difference is too big, right?

But I thought about it, this Liang Qingying is not an ordinary person after all, maybe what I see now is not her real appearance, but her changed appearance.

As soon as I looked up, I happened to see Liang Qingying staring at me faintly, with a smile on his face, that kind of strange eyes, as if he knew what I was thinking in my heart.

"This is what I really am, not a change." Sure enough, Liang Qingying said lightly.

I was shocked in my heart, thinking that this woman could be like Jingmei, and she would be able to understand him? Can you peek into what other people's minds are thinking?

"Oh, I didn't mean that!" I can't help but feel a little embarrassed to be told what is going on in my heart.

"I understand."

Liang Qingying sighed lightly, and said quietly: "If it is about age, I should be older than you, but because of my body, my appearance has not changed much, and I will not get older." It's normal for you to be surprised when you know who I am. ”

"You ......"

I opened my mouth to ask something, but Liang Qingying didn't wait for me to ask, and said, "Are you very curious, why did I appear here?" I also want to ask if I put the python and the bat in? What was my purpose in bringing you and that companion named Xiaoying here? ”

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded, "I did want to ask you about these things, including what is going on in this village?" And Jingmei once appeared here, you should know a little bit about her, right? ”

"I'm sorry, but I don't know much about the mountain god Niangniang."

Liang Qingying shook his head slightly and replied: "Everything I know about the mountain god Niangniang is known from the mouth of my godfather who raised me, and it is similar to what is recorded in the notebook left by my father!" ”

She paused, and then added, "As for why I'm here, you'll find out in the near future, and what the village is all about, you should ask Grandpa Bo, he knows better than me." But one thing, you guessed it, the villagers here are indeed the ghosts of my father who killed those people twenty years ago. ”

"Then your dad ...... him"

"If my guess is correct, he should be in this secret realm...... He's alive. Liang Qingying said faintly: "It's just him...... It's no longer the same person he once was! ”

"Oh!"

I took a deep breath and didn't know what to say for a moment.

At this time, the old man walked out of the side room and said with embarrassment: "I'm sorry everyone, the old man forgot what we ate, and you are not used to eating, so ......"

"It's okay!" Liang Qingying chuckled and replied.

"We're not hungry!" I said.

It's just that as soon as the words fell, his stomach screamed angrily.

This cry was loud, and the people around heard it, Xiao is Liang Qingying, who had just met him, couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle at this time.

The old fat laughed even more, which made me make a big red face, and I was simply embarrassed.

The old man smiled and said, "Although there is nothing suitable for you to eat, but it doesn't matter, I have already instructed Xiao Ming to find suitable food for you to eat, be patient and patient, he should be back soon." ”

Seeing the old man say this, and Liang Qingying was also here, I couldn't hold back the curiosity in my heart anymore, and asked straight to the point: "Senior, your village...... What the hell is going on? ”

"Alas...... It's a long story......"

The old man sat on the stool, his face sad and his brows furrowed, and his pupilless eyes looked terrible.

"You should have seen my appearance, and I believe you all already know that we are not normal people, twenty years ago, we were dead!" The old man said quietly.

Finally, when it came to the point, I immediately brought up the spirit and asked, "What's going on?" ”

The old man shook his head, his brows furrowed deeper, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Actually, the reason why we are here is because one person ......."

"Alone?"

"That's right!"

The old man said: "All of us live in that person's dream, a dream that is simply impossible to realize!" ”

"Living in a dream? How so? ”

Don't say I'm curious, even Lao Fei and Liang Qingying listened seriously.

"It all started 20 years ago......

"Twenty years ago, on a dark and windy night, a terrible monster suddenly broke into our village, and it was bloody, terrifying, cruel, and murderous. It broke into our village and killed people on sight, not even children, the elderly, and even livestock...... At that time, I led the villagers to resist, but where was his opponent? In just one night, hundreds of lives were lost......"

The old man recalled the original incident, his face showed a thick look of fear, and his voice began to tremble involuntarily, although twenty years had passed, but the blow to him was obviously very deep, otherwise he would not have shown such an expression.

"When we died, the man swallowed even our souls into his stomach, instructing us not to be reincarnated."

"Later, I don't know how long it took for the monster to release us from the stomach, and we were already in this place when we came out."

It is said that when a person dies, his memories disappear with him, and in fact this is true. At that time, we were retired, and we had no memory of what had happened in our lives, only fragments of our memories. Even...... We didn't even know we were dead! ”

"After the monster released us, he let us build a village here and live there. At that time, there was a ghost next to the monster, and the ghost was very special, and it seemed to have a very close relationship with the monster, and later we learned that it was the monster's wife, who was originally a girl in our village. ”

"The monster killed all of us because of her, but for some reason, he seems to regret it and brought us here to make us soul lanterns, hoping to resurrect us all one day."

But how can a dead man be resurrected again? Even if he is the Great Demon King, he can't do it...... So this is just wishful thinking on his part, a dream that will never come true! ”

"Soul Locking Lamp? He wants to resurrect you......"

When the old man said this, we all already knew what the monster he was talking about, and even Huang Jinquan showed a sudden look at him at this time, and glanced at Lao Fei and Liang Qingying.

"That's right!"

The old man nodded and said: "This soul lamp is the foundation of our existence in this world, as long as the soul lamp is extinguished, we will also dissipate, not only will we not be resurrected, but our souls will be scattered, and we will not even have the opportunity to reincarnate." So once we leave the village, we will carry our soul lamps in our hands. ”

Old Fat shook his head and sneered: "I want to resurrect you, why did I kill you in the first place?" Delusional resurrection of so many people, does he think he is God? Even God can't do that, right? It's ridiculous, isn't this self-deception? ”

The old man glanced at Lao Fei and said lightly: "But he doesn't think so, maybe you all think he is a madman, but in fact he is indeed a madman and a devil." So he cut down the sacred tree and absorbed the essence of the refined tree plant every day, trying to create a fountain of life, resurrect his wife, and resurrect all of us. ”

"The sacred tree you are talking about is ......," I asked, guessing in my mind.

"A big tree, a big tree, almost as tall as the sky, we don't know what kind of tree it is, but where can ordinary trees grow so tall? That's why they call it the Sacred Tree! The old man said.

"Sure enough, the big tree was really cut down!"

I was shocked, Lao Fei and Yan Xiaoying's previous guess was not wrong, this place was really the same as the Heavenly Secret Realm where I was, and there was also a big tree.

"Does it work for him to do this?" Liang Qingying asked softly.

"It works!"

The old man's answer surprised us.

"Actually, this soul lamp is made from the essence of trees, and it is precisely because of its existence that we can be like this. Every once in a while, he will inject the essence of tree and plant life into our soul lamps to nourish our souls, clear the yin energy, and inject vitality, otherwise our souls will be weak and dissipate in the heavens and the earth. Just ......"

"It's just that no matter how much he tries to do it, he can only do it without letting us dissipate, and it is simply impossible to resurrect and condense the real body."

I strongly agree that it is impossible to raise the dead.

Even if it is as strong as the Heavenly Master's soul that lurked in my body at the beginning, when it is in the Heavenly Secret Realm, it cannot be completely resurrected and become a walking corpse.

"Has he been insisting?" Liang Qingying asked.

"That's right! I have always insisted on refining the essence of plant vitality every day......"

The old man sighed and said, "When I first started to recover my memory, I was full of hatred for this person, and even wanted to mobilize the villagers to rebel against him. But as he came to life, he breathed life into our soul lamp again and again, and it has been uninterrupted and sleepless for twenty years...... In fact! He was just a wretched man, a wretched man tormented by remorse, worse than dead, even more pitiful than us. ”

"You think he's a poor man? He killed you, and caused you to become the person you are now, don't you hate him? The old fat looked sideways, frowned and asked.

"What's the use of hatred?"

The old man shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Among so many people, I am the only one who has recovered his memories by chance, and the others don't know that they are dead at all, and they still live in this person's dream as they did when they were alive." Sometimes when you think about it, that's not necessarily a bad thing, is it? At least I'm old...... I can't bear to tell them the truth of the matter, and I don't even want this dream to be shattered......"
