Chapter 123: The Peaceful Dead
It was a family of five, with an elderly man, a husband and wife, and two children.
They were all lying on their beds, as calm and serene, as if they were asleep.
Ling Qinghan carefully checked it with his divine sense, and none of them were harmed at all.
Their bodies have not yet decomposed, and they should have been dead for a short time.
What caused them to lose their lives in their sleep?
And it's not just their family, it's the whole village of thousands of people.
Is it haunted?
Ling Qinghan felt a chill in his back, and couldn't help but think of some ghost stories he heard when he was a child.
As a monk, she had never found ghosts, but when she was a child outside the Flying Immortal Gate, she had heard ghost stories from her companions.
In this case, she couldn't help but think of the horror stories she had heard before.
"What the hell is going on?"
She couldn't help but ask Zhong Yuan, who was following her.
Zhong Yuan observed for a while and said, "Do you remember what happened to Ziyuan?"
"What's the matter with Ziyuan?" Ling Qinghan was confused.
There are a lot of things in Ziyuan, and she doesn't know which thing Zhong Yuan is referring to.
"The thing about her being ingested back then. Zhong Yuan said.
"Ingesting Divine Souls?" Ling Qing was terrified, "You mean that these people were killed by ingesting divine souls?"
"Yes," Zhong Yuan nodded and said, "Unlike Ziyuan who has taken some of his souls, all the souls of the people in this village have been taken away, so there is no life. ”
"Ingest the Divine Soul ......" Ling Qinghan suddenly realized.
No wonder they died so peacefully, it turned out that while sleeping, the spirit was taken away and the body was not harmed.
It turned out that it was not haunted, but artificial.
This is to ingest the souls of thousands of people at a time, which is also too evil.
Back then, it was the elders of the Outer Gate of the Flying Immortal Gate who were bought by Tianxuanmen who ingested part of the soul of Ziyuan, and this time such a thing appeared, she naturally thought of Tianxuanmen: "You say, will the person who does this kind of thing be a person from Tianxuanmen again?"
"It's not impossible," Zhong Yuan said, "Although Tianxuanmen is sanctimonious on the surface, and everything is done to maintain the justice of the cultivation realm, but in fact, everything is dirty. ”
"However, what is the effect of them ingesting so many mortal souls?" Ling Qinghan was very confused, "Aren't they afraid of being punished by heaven?"
"Heavenly Punishment?" Zhong Yuan sighed, "Only when you reach the realm of returning to the void and can impact the Heavenly Immortals, can you have the qualification to worry about Heavenly Punishment, Tu Wuyi can't reach that level in this life, what is there to worry about?"
If you do too much evil, there is a high chance that you will be burned by karmic fire and die when you cross the Heavenly Immortal Tribulation, but Tu Wuyi is only in the early stage of transforming into a god now, and he is too far away from that realm, and it is impossible to impact that realm in this life, so there is no need to worry.
Ling Qinghan was silent.
Only when there is nothing that can be done about oneself can one count on God to be the master.
But that's basically something you can't count on.
Tianxuanmen has done so many bad things, and I haven't seen them punished by God, but they are getting stronger and stronger.
If there is really God, then God is blind when he thinks about it.
There was a long silence before she asked, "What should we do?"
Zhong Yuan asked rhetorically, "What can we do?"
Ling Qinghan was silent for a longer time.
We should do the right thing for heaven and uphold justice.
But they don't have that ability.
If Ling Qinghan thought that Zhong Yuan had a great background before, and he was counting on the forces behind him to help him, after knowing the truth that Zhong Yuan was the only one himself, this hope was gone.
Tianxuanmen is a powerful sect with a god-transforming cultivator in charge, what can they do?
She still has some justice in her heart, which is already rare among monks, but such a sense of justice can only make her feel more painful.
Because she can't do anything.
She was born here, and her family suffered a catastrophe when she was a few years old, and the entire family was destroyed by the people of Tianxuanmen, and the place where she lived became a pile of ruins, leaving her alone.
More than 100 years later, on the ruins, a beautiful village was built with a population of several thousand, however, another terrible catastrophe struck, and there was not a single survivor left in the village.
When she was young, she couldn't do anything.
Now, she has become a primordial monk, and she is still powerless.
This feeling of powerlessness made her very uncomfortable.
The cultivation of monks is originally against the sky, hoping to take their fate into their own hands.
But the longer I cultivated, the more I realized how unattainable it was to take my destiny into my own hands.
The sudden death of thousands of people made her feel very heavy.
After being silent for a long time, she said, "Since you have come, since you have met, let's let them be buried in peace." ”
The villages of thousands of people, the corpses of thousands of people were all moved out by her magic and buried together.
She couldn't have done more.
Zhong Yuan didn't say anything, nor did he help her do anything, but released his divine sense, focusing on the place where she was now, searching village by village.
His divine sense could be released two or three hundred miles away, and he searched all the villages within this range.
It was not an easy task, involving thousands of villages, and only a careful search would reveal that there was something abnormal.
After Ling Qinghan buried all the corpses, Zhong Yuan suddenly spoke: "I searched carefully and found that there are seven villages where the people of the entire village died in their sleep, just like the situation here. ”
Ling Qinghan stayed there all of his life.
There are seven villages like this one, how many people do they have to have?
And this is only within the scope of Zhong Yuan's divine sense, so many have been discovered.
What if the place is enlarged?
How many people will die like this in the entire Yu country?
Although monks can no longer be regarded as mortals, they are all from the mortal world, and they still have a certain reverence for life.
In the realm of cultivation, there is such a precept - monks must not wantonly slaughter mortals.
It's not that you can't kill mortals, but you can't wantonly slaughter mortals, without those mortals, the cultivation realm will become a sourceless water and will cease to exist.
Back then, Tianxuanmen set a crime for Wu Bai, which was to wantonly slaughter mortals, don't use this reason to destroy the sword washing concept of the biggest competing sect at that time.
There weren't so many mortals slaughtered by Wu Bai.
Ling Qinghan had a feeling of suffocation, and asked in a trembling voice, "...... they?" What do you want to do by taking away the souls of so many mortals?"
"Maybe they're trying to cultivate some kind of evil law. Zhong Yuan speculated.
