Chapter Seventy-Seven: Death

So many people in the room watched silently, quietly. The young man in black gave each of them a candle and lit them one by one, and the candlelight was bright in Hessesen's house. Believers held candles in their hands and circled around the corpse and the practice of Hongchen. Liu Yan looked at the deceased and softly sang a vague song, the tempo of the tune was fast, and the believers whispered along with it.

I don't know how to speak, so I have to move my mouth.

For about half an hour, the corpse was covered from head to toe with blood-red dye, and those ghost talismans were sharp and strangely composed, looking very scary. Hong Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and gently stroked the corpse's face with his hand, and when he withdrew his hand, the deceased's originally stiff face suddenly grinned slightly, and under the faint candlelight, he could see that the scalp of the person exploded.

Hong Chen took a long incense stick from the incense burner, slowly inserted it into the mouth of the dead man, chanted the words, and shouted violently: "Get up!" ”

The body of the landlord's sister-in-law suddenly sat up. The scene was so strange that the female believers, including me, were so frightened that they took a few steps back, and the circle they had formed dispersed. The young man in black scolded angrily: "What are you afraid of? This is the Dharma Protector in practice, continue to sing. ”

Everyone trembled and continued to sing.

Hong Chen pulled Changxiang, Changxiang was connected to the corpse, and she pulled the corpse up like a marionette. Hong Chen said: "This eldest sister's soul has me sealed in her own corpse, and the handover between the soul and the new body must be completed before sunset. ”

Liu Yan walked up to the landlord's daughter, gently touched her hair, and motioned for her to stand up. The landlord's daughter cried with tears streaming down her face, standing barefoot on the ground, like a little swallow hiding under the eaves in a storm.

"It's moving." I didn't know who shouted, and I looked up to see that the candle in my hand almost overturned. The body of the landlord's sister-in-law actually moved on its own, and her movements were very stiff, as if the joints were rusty, and she walked forward slowly. The young man in black whispered: "Don't break up the circle, surround her." ”

Our circle was gathered around the corpse, and we followed her wherever she went, and though they were afraid, they had to whisper that strange tune, and the candles were sneering and burning, and the scene was very mysterious.

Hong Chen said to the landlord's daughter, "Take off your coat and sit on the ground." Don't be afraid, it'll be done soon. ”

She sat on the ground very obediently, and Hong Chen took out a black jar from under the shrine and placed it in front of her. I recognized it, isn't this the Hidden Soul Altar in the Buddha Hall? Listening to Qin Dan, this weapon is the most evil sect and can refine the soul.

I held my breath and continued to watch.

Hong Chen took out a long black nail from his sleeve, and I almost called out, when Wang Dongmei hit such a nail on Hong Chen's head to vent his soul. Is she going to do the same spell to the landlord's daughter?

Hong Chen silently chanted, stroked the top of the landlord's daughter's head with his hand, slowly lifted the nail, and inserted it into the acupoint on his head. I could see my chest rise and fall, and my whole body shivered. This girl has absolutely no bad intentions, not to send her soul to the Elysian Realm to die, but to collect souls.

I was watching, and my footsteps involuntarily stopped, and the people behind me didn't notice and bumped into me, and the team immediately stopped. The young man in black came over and shouted, "What are you doing?!" Brace oneself! ”

I pointed at Hong Chen, stumbling and unable to say anything.

The young man's eyes were sharp: "What do you want to do?" ”

All the believers looked at me together with candles, and in the dark room, with a faint candlelight, everyone's face was reflected gloomily. I was sweating like rain when they saw it, and my back was hairy, and it took me a long time to say, "No, nothing." ”

It's no wonder that such a long big nail is inserted into a person's head, and there is no bleeding. The landlord's daughter trembled slightly from the severe pain, opened her mouth to say something but did not make a sound, stretched out her two hands and scratched in the air, like a drowning person desperately trying to grasp straw.

Hong Chen motioned to the young man in black to pick up the girl, she picked up the Hidden Soul Altar on the ground, and the two entered the secret room at the back. It seems that the following process cannot be shown to everyone.

As soon as Hong Chen left, my pressure was suddenly reduced, and seeing that no one cared, I secretly walked out of the team and came to Liu Yan. I asked in a low voice, "Senior Liu Yan, do you still know me?" ”

Liu Yan looked at me: "Liu Yang, as soon as you come, I will know the truth." I personally selected you to come up. ”

"Senior, you're doing well. Don't let Wang Dongmei do it to that girl, it's a living life. "I begged.

"Yo." Liu Yan smiled: "You are still a good person." It was her own choice to die for her mother, no one forced her, we just obeyed her will. Heaven and earth are unkind, all things are used as dogs, everyone has their own destiny and destiny, and they have no right to interfere with the path they choose. ”

I can't argue with what she said, I know that the Tao is crooked, but I don't know where to start. I sighed, "Senior, what do you want to do with such a reincarnation organization?" ”

Liu Yan didn't answer, just smiled: "If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Palace, tell me what you have to do with me." I hesitated, and just wanted to say that the door of the secret room inside opened, Hong Chen walked out, entered the circle of people, grabbed Changxiang, and guided the body of the landlord's sister-in-law back to the secret room step by step.

Liu Yan patted me and motioned for me not to speak yet. She called the young man in black and whispered a few words in her ear, and the young man in black looked at me deeply, and then beckoned many believers out of the room, and he was the last one to go out and close the door.

There were only two people left in the room, Liu Yan and me.

"Okay, what the hell are you looking for me?" Liu Yan asked.

I didn't know where to start for a while, so I hesitated and asked, "Where are you and Master Hongchen hiding these days?" ”

Liu Yan looked at me interestingly: "I thought you were looking for me for the one million bounty." ”

I was a little embarrassed: "Senior, since you and Master Hongchen left, we people have worked hard and suffered a lot to find you, if we can, we should give some compensation." ”

Liu Yan looked at me: "People live for a lifetime, and white horses pass through the gaps." Why do people always abandon the most valuable things for the sake of small profits in front of them? Alas, don't worry, I'll go back with you, and even if you don't look for me, I'll go to you. I have one more important thing that needs your involvement. However, now is not the time," she lowered her voice: "I want to help Wang Dongmei become an immortal first." ”

I pointed to the door of the secret room and said, "Is it really Wang Dongmei who occupies Hong Chen's body?" ”

Liu Yan nodded: "It seems that you already know a lot of things. You may wonder what I have to do with whether she becomes an immortal or not. She walked to the window, opened the curtains, and a beam of sunlight came in from outside: "Liu Yang, you may have a lot of questions about what I want to say next, but please don't ask." When I'm done, please leave immediately, this is not the place for you. When the time comes, I will go to you. ”

"Say it." I took a deep breath. Dealing with a person like Liu Yan who has lived for N lives, he should simply be straightforward. Playing with those spears is useless in front of others.

Liu Yan closed the curtain and turned to look at me: "Actually, I have been looking for a way to die a long time ago. ”

I was dumbfounded, thinking I had misheard, she was asking for death?

"You...... Are you going to die? ”

Liu Yanyi waved his hand: "Don't ask." Listen to me. She walked on the ground with her hands behind her back: "Do you know Peng Zu?" ”

"Zhilu Dao is said to be the longest-lived person in history." I say.

Liu Yan nodded: "Legend has it that Peng Zu lived for eight hundred and eighty years, and after the vicissitudes of life, the years flowed, and he was very lucky, because in the end he still died." Liu Yan's tone was faintly sad: "Death is not as terrible as imagined, it is a relief from life." I can't remember how long I've lived in this world, it's like being abandoned in the world and being punished, I've seen too many people, I've experienced too many things, I'm too tired. Liu Yan sniffed, a little sad. She quickly stabilized her emotions and said with a wry smile: "As an old man, I can't even express my emotions freely, and my heart seems to be covered with a thick and hard shell. Now I understand that death is a process that must be passed through in life. If I had to choose again, I wouldn't choose to be reincarnated and live forever, but die like a normal person. ”

I didn't know what to say, so I said, "You're going to die too." When this generation dies, the next generation can be reincarnated......"

"That's not death, it's transformation at most." Liu Yan said: "Just like turning into a butterfly and molting a long snake, it is just a process of life, not real death." ”

"And you've found a way to die?" I asked.

Liu Yan shook his head: "It is said that Cheng Immortal can be free and free and not burdened by the world." That's why I chose to help Wang Dongmei, I want to help her become an immortal, I want to see what it looks like to become an immortal. If I still can't die in the future, maybe I will choose the path of becoming an immortal to free myself. ”

"You spent so much money to establish such an organization, just to make Wang Dongmei an immortal?" I asked.

Liu Yan nodded: "Wang Dongmei's cultivation of autopsy immortals is always unable to break through the bottleneck, maybe because of the low mana, so we have to use the believer's ......" Speaking of this, she waved her hand: "Don't mention it." Liu Yang, go back, I know what you want to ask. The place where Wang Dongmei and I hid in those days, you will enter it soon. You can't get rid of this matter, don't be so anxious, the blessings and disasters are unpredictable, be mentally prepared. ”

As we were talking, the door of the secret room opened with a "gaba", and Hong Chen's figure was about to come out.

Liu Yan gave me a look: "Let's go." Don't let her see you. ”

I hurriedly walked out and was about to go out, when suddenly Hong Chen's voice sounded behind me: "This friend, have we met, why do I see you so familiar?" ”
