Chapter 23: The Sacrifice
"Why, Brother Shuisheng, why are you killing someone? What a sin this is...... My heart...... It hurts" Cui Yingying suddenly held her chest, because her heart was in severe pain at this time, he finally understood why his heart suddenly hurt today, it turned out that Brother Shui had created an unforgivable sin! That old man, what that old man said came true, is it really fate?
"Yingying, what's wrong with you?" The aquatic people are busy hugging the warbler
Cui Yingying raised his hand to stop it, but he refused......
"Tell me, why?"
Shui Sheng was very helpless, because at this time, Cui Yingying was sitting on the ground and looking at him painfully
"Yingying, listen to me, I'll talk about it later, I'll let you live forever first, I can't watch you suffer so much!"
"No, Brother Shuisheng, you tell me, why did you kill the people in the village, why?" Cui Yingying cried and said
The aquatic life was impatient either, and his momentum rose again, because he thought he had done nothing wrong
"Why? Yingying, you fainted back then, I don't know, did you see their faces? It was a very sad funeral, but they happily pushed the cup and changed the lamp, talking and laughing? Why? They drove you here alone and made you suffer, don't they deserve to die? Such humanity, such villagers, why do you keep them? Besides, immortality requires killing! ”
Cui Yingying looked at Brother Shui Sheng who was full of anger in a daze, and she suddenly realized that Brother Shui Sheng had changed, and she didn't know it anymore
"There is a catastrophe in your fate with the water, and this catastrophe is inevitable, when you find that he has come back and changed completely......"
She thought about the old man's words again, she suddenly realized something, she picked up the jade slip that fell on the ground, and then rushed out of the room with all her strength, she came to the old locust tree, and then she quieted down, she said to the aquatic life that followed behind: ""Happy mourning", "People have mourning, mourning is also, Fang mourning is flawless, how can there be joy." And the so-called happy mourners, it is gratifying to have both the blessings and longevity of the deceased. ”。
Shui Sheng listened to Yingying's calm words and suddenly felt his heart move, and he asked blankly, "What do you mean?" ”
Cui Yingying said calmly: "It means that someone in the family has passed away, and the deceased is a person of high morality and longevity; The family is thriving; With the average life expectancy in the world, such a funeral for the deceased can be described as a joyous funeral. It will be suspended for three to five days to entertain relatives and friends. Relatives and friends celebrate the longevity of the family, and touch the spirit of the longevity, Brother Shuisheng, the villagers have done nothing wrong, they are celebrating the high birthday of their father, this is the custom, but also respect! ”
"No way, why I've never heard of it," Aquatic said with wide eyes
Cui Yingying smiled and said: "Brother Shuisheng, because no one has ever told you these truths, this is also what I heard from an old grandfather later, and also, the old orphan girl is a more depressed existence in the world, according to tradition, she must leave the village where she is located, so as not to bring bad luck to the village, this is also a custom, so the villagers are already pitying me when they drive away the back mountain."
The aquatic life suddenly became extremely thick with bloody aura, and he couldn't help but spread his wings. It turns out that his persistence and understanding over the years have been wrong, it turns out that Wang Zhuzi is really good for him, but is this worldly? Because when people are old, should they be happy when they die? Do you have to be kicked out of the village because she is an old orphan girl? He's conflicted, he's messy, so he doesn't control himself anymore, and the aquatic becomes that terrifying appearance
Cui Yingying was not surprised at this time, she asked calmly: "Brother Shuisheng, is this your method of immortality?" ”
Shui Sheng, he didn't expect the warbler to be so calm at this time, after all, he is very weird and terrifying now
"Yes"
Cui Yingying held the jade slip in her hand, she turned around again, and said with a bright smile in front of Shui Sheng: "Brother Shui Sheng, promise me, leave the village, don't hurt the villagers, don't kill anymore!" This is the last thing the warbler expects from you......"
Shui Sheng suddenly had a bad premonition, he felt that something in his heart was suddenly taken away, he immediately stepped forward, he was about to hug the warbler, because he was very uneasy......
After Cui Yingying finished speaking, she knelt under the locust tree and hurriedly carved the words, carving everything that happened today, and after finishing, she said to Yu Jian: "Start"
Shui Sheng, who rushed over, suddenly encountered a strong force, so that he could not take half a step forward, his eyes widened in horror, he knew how strong he was at this time, but he had no way to deal with this nameless force
"Warbler! What are you doing? He could only scream, because she saw that the warbler was muttering something under the old locust tree, and with the warbler's chatter, the old locust tree shone brightly
Yingying didn't answer Shui Sheng, she had already made a decision at the moment, she had already read the words on the jade slip, she didn't understand or believe it at first, but at this moment, she could only atone for her sins
She suddenly read the words on the jade slip aloud
"The way of heaven is the proof, Li Er is the evidence, the reincarnation hall in the underground, I Cui Yingying is willing to sacrifice my body to the soul of the dead, and use my soul to atone for my sins, please let me pay for the sins of Brother Shui Sheng, I am willing to sleep forever with this, to atone for the sins of Brother Qing Shuisheng! Initiate! ”
boom
The old locust tree made a loud noise, and then the trunk of the old locust tree actually opened from the middle, and Cui Yingying finally turned around and smiled again and glanced at the aquatic life
"Brother Shuisheng, remember what Yingying said!"
"Don't!" The aquatic creature screamed frantically, and he frantically attacked the invisible power, but in the end it was fruitless
Finally, Cui Yingying stepped into the trunk of the tree and disappeared
And the aquatic pain held his head in his hands, and he knelt on the ground, and his anger was even stronger at this time
"Why? Why is this happening? What is the meaning of the immortality I have been looking for all these years? What's the point! Am I really wrong? Ah............h
Shui Sheng fell into a frenzy of self-doubt, he remembered the man who gave him immortality back then, and he remembered what that man had said
"I can give you eternal life, but, eternal life has a price, this is against the sky, I will not force anyone, have you thought clearly?"
Shui Sheng finally understood what the tall mysterious man said, this is a price, but he never thought that this price was paid by the warbler!
The weather in October suddenly snowflakes, the aquatic dazed kneeling on the ground motionless, this kneeling is five hundred years, at this time the aquatic eyes bulged, the body was thin, and the flesh-colored wings were also dirty and cracked!
"Hey, this place is good, let's live here in seclusion in the future!"
"yes, that's good."
Suddenly, a group of people came here, they strayed in from the outside, and at this time they were fascinated by the scenery here, surrounded by mountains, the scenery was beautiful, they had fled here, and they were naturally extremely happy to meet such a hidden place
Then a young man was amazed, "Look, there's a man there!" ”
"There is indeed a man, go, go and see," said an old man, who was the leader of the group
Everyone came to the water that was kneeling on the ground, and the water life split its dirty wings more like a cloak draped over its body
"This guy, why are you kneeling here?" The old man asked
Shui Sheng's stunned eyes fluctuated slightly, he looked at this group of people, suddenly, he was extremely eager to suck the blood of everyone here, his eyes became red, and the evil qi on his body was gradually revealed, but, in the face of the old locust tree, he forcibly endured, even if his fangs were about to come out, he did not answer, but turned around silently, his dry body was a little stiff, and it seemed a little difficult
The old man looked at the thin and almost dry young man with a look of pity in his eyes, he turned around and said to the young man who bought an aquatic life: "Yu'er, take some food for this little boy, hey, it's all war."
"Yes, Father!" The young man named Yu'er immediately replied, and then took some food and handed it to the aquatic life
Shui Sheng glanced blankly, he still had a bloodthirsty impulse, but looking at the food in his hand and the slowly withering old locust tree, he silently walked away and disappeared in front of everyone
"Father, why don't you thank this person?" Yu'er said
"Hey, maybe it's because I've been affected by the war, and I'm already scared."
After Yafu finished speaking, a group of people entered the village, at this time there was no appearance of the village, they started to build the village again, but they had seen the roots of the old locust tree in the back mountain, it was an ancient text, they basically did not move, just understood a little bit, only knew that this was originally a village, and then many people died, so in order to pay tribute to the ancestors, they named it "Yin Soul Village"
Twenty years later, Ya's father was born with Yu'er, conquered the world, and finally Yu'er killed himself in Wujiang, and the people who came back issued a strict order to block the mountain village, and the descendants of the village were not allowed to step out of the village for life!
Shui Sheng entered the mountain, and he looked for the man who gave him eternal life again, but he was gone, so he stayed in the mountain, sucking the blood of his prey to make a living, but he often came to the back mountain here to see the old locust tree, and just sat under the tree, and did not speak, but his face was sad! Until 80 years ago, a thousand years later, when he came to the back mountain again, he happened to see a group of people in military uniforms brutally killing the villagers, he always remembered the food given to him by the group of people who came to the village, so he shot, after killing, he entered the mountain again, and occasionally met the villagers who came forward, they hunted and cut down trees, so that the dense forest became more and more sparse, he felt that these people's practices were a little too much, after all, he had unspeakable feelings for trees, and he used confusion to let these people step into danger, Then he was attacked by wild beasts, and these beasts never left the forest, he himself did not make a move, not once, because he always remembered what Cui Yingying said back then, until this time he suddenly sensed the breath of Yingying, and he hurried over!
