Chapter 4 Antecedents

Liu Feng turned his head with a frightened face, but when he saw the wrinkled and calm face of the village chief of Chailu Village, he couldn't help but let out a long breath, and his frightened heart also regained its calm.

"Master Liu, your companion... I wonder what is going on now?" the village chief asked meaningfully, taking the pipe from his mouth.

"It should still be looking for the traces of that water ghost, but my brother's Taoism is profound, maybe the water ghost is afraid of his strength and doesn't dare to show his face. Liu Feng immediately made up a reason to leave a way out for himself and Xue Chuan.

"In that case, can you ask Master Liu to do me a small favor?" said the village chief, puffing on his cigarette, smacking his lips.

"Liu will do his best, but... I don't know what kind of busyness?" Liu Feng immediately clenched his fists and wondered.

However, Liu Feng, who had some concerns in his heart, did not pay attention to the man surnamed Zhang, who had been following the village chief before, but slowly paced behind him, still holding a firewood torch tightly in his hand.

The village chief of Chailu Village narrowed his eyes: "Actually, it's not a big deal... Just wanted to ask you-"

The man surnamed Zhang waved hard, and the heavy torch hit Liu Feng heavily on the back of the neck, and the latter only had time to snort, then rolled his eyes and fell down!

At this time, the village chief said coldly and unhurriedly: "-It's just to die instead of me." ”

After that, the village chief turned around, waved his hand, and said, "Drag him to the warehouse, and the preparation can begin." ”

Several young people in the village gathered, nodded indifferently when they heard this, and dragged Liu Feng towards the village warehouse.

The other people standing guard, in the face of such a scene, looked like they were not surprised, as if Liu Feng's victimization was just an ordinary pig, cow and sheep being slaughtered!

Only the man surnamed Zhang, with a slight trace of unbearability on his face, said to the village chief: "Really... No more waiting? maybe..."

The village chief turned his head, and the coldness in his eyes made the old man look extremely terrifying: "Do you still have such unrealistic hopes for these charlatans? How many of these charlatans have died at the hands of 'her' over the years? Or are you going to replace him yourself?"

Hearing this, the man surnamed Zhang smbabbed a few times, but never spoke. Seeing this, the village chief didn't say anything more, just silently took a puff of cigarette and turned to leave.

The man surnamed Zhang turned his head and looked at the dense fog in the river, as if he wanted to see the figure of the young man sitting on the boat through the strange white fog.

He secretly said in his heart: With that young man and this Liu Feng, it should be enough for six people....

......

"So, the source of that girl's resentment could it be that the village chief?!" Xue Chuan said.

The third question of the mysterious woman was naturally given a satisfactory answer by Xue Chuan, as for how Xue Chuan answered, I will not mention it here for the time being, and I will describe it later.

The mysterious woman sitting opposite Xue Chuan also nodded: "Seven hundred years ago, this village was quite prosperous, with a population of nearly 10,000 at one time, until those six people, for their own selfish desires, made animal acts, which created the current situation. ”

The six people, imprisoned the displaced girl in the underground warehouse, vented their ** day and night, and after tortured the other party to death, they also tied their bodies with iron chains and sank into the Lujiang River, thinking that they were unaware. The mysterious woman's tone was also faintly angry.

"Unexpectedly, the girl who died in the country was the remnant of the spirit bloodline, so after her death, her soul turned into resentment, not only imposing a curse on the entire village, but even using resentment to awaken the soul of the dead who had been sleeping at the bottom of the Lujiang River in ancient times, vowing to drag the six people into the Nine Shadows Yellow Spring. ”

Xue Chuan couldn't help but speak: "Since six people must be sacrificed in the river every five years, otherwise they will all face a monstrous blood disaster, then why don't they move to the village?"

The mysterious woman sneered, "Heh, then they have to go." ”

Xue Chuan was stunned for a moment, then swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and couldn't help but sneak a glance at the barefoot girl standing not far from the boat, and shivered.

The ability of this girl's resentful spirit, has it reached such a terrible point?

"In the seven hundred years of slaughter, this evil spirit has dragged the reincarnation of five of the six people into the Netherworld, and it is the corpse you see that is locked in five chains. The mysterious woman continued.

Hearing this, Xue Chuan also understood everything, so he continued the mysterious woman's words and said, "Only... The leader of the six, that is, the head of Nachailu Village, awakened the memories of his previous life after being reincarnated, so he has never been captured by the resentful spirit. ”

The mysterious woman nodded: "Now, if you want to get rid of the resentment of that resentful spirit, you have to drag the village chief into the river, and gather enough of the six people who committed the karmic consequences, so that the resentful spirit can willingly enter the reincarnation and die." ”

Xue Chuan was a little incredulous: "Could it be that there is really reincarnation in this world?" I thought it was just a legend!"

The mysterious woman smiled: "The legends in this world are all derived from facts, but there are many people who add oil and vinegar to them, which has lost its original appearance." ”

Xue Chuan wanted to continue to inquire about some myths and legends, but the mysterious woman seemed to see through his intentions and interrupted: "Okay, that's it, it's not good for you to know too much about the rest." ”

The mysterious woman turned her head, looked around at the floating corpses in the river, and sighed: "They are also a group of poor people, who are bound by resentment after death and cannot enter reincarnation, so they can only be trapped here. ”

Speaking of this, the mysterious woman turned her head, looked at Xue Chuan, and smiled: "In this case, it is up to you whether you can find a glimmer of life next." ”

When Xue Chuan heard this, a bad premonition appeared in his heart: "Wait, fairy, this is what you want?"

The mysterious woman showed a sly smile: "I said, if your answer satisfies me, I will let you live, and tell you how to survive by the way, but I didn't promise to save your life." ”

"As for whether these river souls are willing to let you go, it's not up to me to decide. With a wave of the mysterious woman's embroidered robe, her whole graceful body seemed to rise with the wind and left with a flutter.

"But the way to survive—" Xue Chuan shouted anxiously, but the bottom of the boat was suddenly shaken by a huge force, making his body unstable, and he exclaimed and plunged into the icy river!

"Goo!" Xue Chuan hurriedly shook his limbs, poked his head out of the water, and took a few breaths of fresh air, but he was shocked to find that the frost on the river had already subsided with the departure of the mysterious woman, and the ones who overturned the boat before were the floating corpses who had been trying to break through the river!

And at this moment, Xue Chuan was alone in the dark and biting river water, and in all directions, thousands of unjust ghosts and ghosts were densely surrounded!

Before Xue Chuan could recover from his fright, several cold and swollen hands clinged to his legs and dragged him into the river!

"What? no! Gollum!" Xue Chuan shouted in horror, pouring a few mouthfuls of river water into his mouth, choking him with a convulsion, and thinking that this was the corpse water soaked in an unknown number of corpses, Xue Chuan only felt dizzy, and the acid water in his stomach vomited out.

More and more hands restrained Xue Chuan's body, he only felt that the depths of his bones were beginning to be occupied by the cold, and he struggled more and more powerlessly, an unwilling anger overwhelmed the fear, making him scold angrily in his heart:

"What a bullshit way to survive! Throw me into this pile of dead souls without telling me anything, how can I survive here? I'm afraid it's not ten deaths!"

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Xue Chuan's mind: "Slow! I get it! That's what I have to do!"

A kind of despair saw a glimmer of excitement poured into Xue Chuan's heart, he only felt that his limbs seemed to be a little warmer, and he had a little strength out of thin air, and hurriedly broke free of a few floating corpse arms that surrounded him, kicked his legs with all his might, stepped on the heads of several corpses, and poked his head out of the water again!

This time, Xue Chuan didn't have time to take a few more breaths of air, so he shouted in a heart-rending voice: "I, Xue Chuan, swear with my life! I am willing to share my yang longevity with the souls of the dead in the river, help you and others light the dark lamp, and go to reincarnation!"

After shouting this, Xue Chuan completely lost the last bit of strength to struggle, and could only let himself float on the surface of the water limply, no longer able to resist the drag of those floating corpses.

"Leave it to fate. Xue Chuan sighed in his heart and closed his eyes.

At this time, a familiar voice sounded in his ears, making him feel like a heavenly sound: "I didn't expect you to be so smart." ”

Xue Chuan opened his eyes with a look of ecstasy, and saw that the mysterious woman was hanging in the air, half-lying on the unsupported mist for a long time, looking at him with a playful expression.

"Since you have voluntarily sacrificed your yang life to help them return to their lives, I will help you out, and it can be regarded as accumulating some virtue. ”

The mysterious woman stretched out her right hand, and her slender index finger, which was as smooth as white jade, lightly pointed at Xue Chuan, and a ball of blue light slowly emerged from Xue Chuan's chest.

Who knew that the mysterious woman frowned when she saw the blue light cluster: "Your Yang Shou... How can it be so rare? Could it be that you did something that harmed the heavens and peace in your previous life?"

The mysterious woman shook her head: "Forget it, it's your own fault, what does it have to do with me?"

Seeing her index finger again, the blue light trembled violently, and exploded in the blink of an eye, forming a large cloud of hazy light mist, accompanied by a light click of the mysterious woman, the light mist dispersed in an instant, turning into thousands of light blue silk threads, and merging into the eyebrows of every floating corpse in the Lujiang River.

And the remaining little bit of blue mangs returned to Xue Chuan's chest again. However, before Xue Chuan could ask anything else, a terrifying coercion that suffocated him completely attracted his attention.

I saw that in this dark world, as if separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, a few trance lamps were suddenly lit, illuminating a stone bridge across the sky and across life and death!
