Okay, okay, don't get excited. I shook my head and asked, "You said that you came here because of the family's records, so no one has come here before?"

Of course, the family records only have the approximate location of this place, and I searched for almost three years after living here to find this peeling temple! Wen Lin said with a proud expression.

Peeling Temple? I was puzzled and asked, "What does this mean?"

Hehe, you didn't find a very small temple when you kid came in. Is it a small place with only one house in the middle? That's the Skinning Temple, as for what it's used for, believe it or not, I told you that it can scare you to death!

I probably know what's going on, so you can tell me more about the details. I nodded.

You know what's going on? Hehe, do you know how many people are skinned alive at one time? Wenlin smiled like an old crow in the night.

At the most, 23 people were skinned and driven into the cave!

I frowned and asked, "There's always a reason for doing so many cruel things, right?"

It's simple: help them heal! Wen Lin laughed and said, "It's hard for people in your time to think about what means there would be to deal with leprosy in that era, right?" Kneel and beg for a hundred black! Cliff! Your Excellency

Leprosy?

I finally got it.

In modern times, leprosy can be effectively prevented by means of prevention (live BCG vaccine), and even if you are unfortunate enough to get contaminated, there is no cure for leprosy, but in ancient times, leprosy could not be cured at all.

And the most terrible thing about this disease is that the death process is very slow, and the appearance of the disease is very terrifying: the patient's skin will appear a lot of sarcomas or furrows, the nerves will be thick, the muscles will atrophy, and the whole person will become not like a person at all but like a monster.

There is also a high chance of leprosy being transmitted: direct contact with a sick person and indirect contact with objects or clothing that the sick person has used. It is possible to be infected, and once infected, there is no help.

In order to combat this terrible and incurable disease, all kinds of strange methods are available, but basically have no effect, and in modern times, as long as leprosy is found, it can only be isolated.

Of course, when it is said to be isolation, it is actually to circle all the patients together and wait for death, and when they are all dead, they will be burned down in a fire.

Such horrific things happen everywhere, and mass executions of lepers are common. But I have never heard of this kind of direct skinning of lepers.

Every time there is a leper, he will be locked in those little compartments with a hood, and he will start to peel it when he is young, and after an hour of peeling, he will throw it in the hole, and the human skin will be burned, and the ash will say that it can cure the disease, and in this place, I don't know how many people have skinned it, hahahahaha

So what does the Peeling Temple have to do with the Chengxian Mansion inside? I still don't get it.

It doesn't matter in the first place. Wen Lin said: The peeling temple only existed in the Song Dynasty, and this Chengxian Mansion was born much earlier than the peeling temple! Those people did not dare to go into the cave at all, they did not know the secrets inside.

Okay, so what does your family do? I continued.

Our family is engaged in funerals, red and white ceremonies or something, a set of things passed down from our ancestors. Our ancestors have followed it for generations, but no one knows that our ancestors have also passed on a way to become immortals! But no one noticed!

I looked at Wenlin: I don't think no one noticed, but because you are like this, no one dares to do this.

You kid knows a! If I persist for a few hundred more years, I will eventually become an immortal! Just like them!

Wenlin said, pointing to the person in the mural.

Then if you become an immortal, you will become an immortal, why do you torture me with such cruel means? Ji Jingwen on the side asked.

Hehe, little sassy fox. Do you need any more reasons to toss? Wenlin laughed: "Subjecting you to torture is of course a reward for you seducing my husband." Of course, part of the reason is that I need sacrifices!

What sacrifice? I asked immediately.

Soul!

The people in that waterhole outside are your sacrifices? I asked coldly.

Of course, but those people were tortured enough, and they almost died. Or Ji Jingwen, you fox, you can resist tossing, you haven't died after being abused by me for so long, I'm really strange, you can carry it so much

I looked at Ji Jingwen, and this is also something I wondered: a person has been imprisoned for five years, and he is often tortured, Ji Jingwen can actually withstand it for more than five years! In the end, he hanged himself, which is a bit beyond the limits of the human body.

I can carry it because your husband gave me a drink of water. After drinking it, my nerves were paralyzed, and your abuse was not as painful as I imagined. Ji Jingwen shook his head and said.

It turns out that this is the case, Dong Liu Gan, you dead ghost, you deserve it!

That's what I want to ask you too. I immediately picked up: What the hell is your husband doing here? And why did he die on the ground? What happened between you? Since you're back home, let's get along well, right?

Do you think my dead husband wants to come back? He doesn't look down on this place at all! Look down on me too! Wen Lin roared: When he comes back, that bastard will only say that it is an inferior nation, it must be eliminated, and it is worthless or something

Dong Liu Gan is like this. Ji Jingwen on the side looked at me and added: He doesn't look down on his own nationality and bloodline at all, and always says that foreigners should be allowed to colonize China more, and only by improving the race here can there be hope or something, and so on, so he doesn't like his child at all.

Is this stupid reading stupid? Zhang Gui said in surprise: Can he still bleached himself into a white man like Michael Jackson?

I don't know, but his thinking at that time was white supremacy, and when he came back, he told me how good Europe and the United States were, how bad it was here, and instilled this idea in school every day as if brainwashing us, and we didn't understand anything at that time, and when he portrayed it as heaven, we really thought it was heaven abroad.

I shook my head: well, another brain-dead who was fooled abroad, so how much do you know about him? I didn't bother to pay attention to it and continued to ask.

I only know what club he joined abroad and became a member, and this time he came back is the one who will send him back, and the ghost pot here is also the information that will give him, and it is very accurate, but I have no way of knowing the specific details.

So why did he die in the face? Did you get in the way, or did he miss it? I continued.

Hehe, am I going to let him come back in peace? Wen Lin sneered: He had already found the location of the ghost pot in the land, but where there were ghost generals and zombies to protect him, he would be a dead end if he went! So there was no way at all, and in the end I had to turn to me for help!

Turning to you for help? I looked at Wenlin in amazement: What do you know?

Little cub, you look down on me, don't you? Our Wen family is a big family that has risen since the Spring and Autumn Period until now, do you know the genre? That's our ancestors!

Zhang Gui looked at me and asked, "Who is Wengen?"

The stinky boy who doesn't learn and doesn't even know who the genre is! You idiot! Idiot! Are you illiterate?

As soon as I heard that Zhang Gui didn't know his ancestor, Wen Lin looked very hateful, and his two hands kept scratching everywhere on the ground, and then I found that the back of her fingers seemed to be all like nails, which was very terrifying, leaving scratches on the ground.

Damn, your ancestors are not my ancestors, why are you so excited? Could it be that there are any more famous people in your Wen family besides Wen Tianxiang? Zhang Gui said unconvinced.

As soon as Wen Lin heard this, he was even more annoyed, and Zixiang stood up and grabbed Zhang Gui.

But after rushing forward a little distance, Wenlin couldn't move any further: it was then that I realized that Wenlin's pitch-black half of life was pulled by a lot of black roots like cobwebs that I hadn't noticed, and these things made it impossible for her to leave the place at all, and could only move around about half a meter or so.

It turned out that this was the reason why Wenlin hadn't come out just now: she couldn't move at all.

However, Wenlin's action frightened Zhang Gui and fell backwards, but fortunately, Ji Jingwen behind him supported Zhang Gui and did not let Zhang Gui fall.

So that's what you call becoming an immortal? Yu Shen, who had not spoken, spoke.

What about you, kid? Wen Lin glared at Yu Shen viciously and asked.

Let's go after asking the questions, just chop off these paws. Yu Shen seemed to understand something, and said to me with a smile.

What do you know again? I looked at Yu Shen and asked puzzled.

The so-called immortals here are just a disguise: in fact, they were all eaten by a tree. Yu Shen pointed to the black silk threads that connected Wenlin's body and said: Actually, this old woman is already half human and half corpse, but it is difficult that she has not been digested by this tree for many years, and the reason is that she is constantly gathering negative energy.

I still don't understand: what the hell is going on?

Look at these tendrils behind her. Yu Shen pointed to the back of the stone chamber, a kind of root that looked like the aerial root of a banyan tree was everywhere: this kind of tree was very special, as rare as the illusion vine, the real name should be called the corpse devouring tree, there was a very low chance that this kind of thing would appear in places with a lot of corpses, but once it appeared, it would be terrible.

This kind of tree can devour corpses: whether it is a zombie or not, but it is slower to devour zombies, and those black roots are constantly extracting ingredients from the old woman to their advantage, and in the end, they will become garbage like the corpses we see outside wrapped in the roots.
