1033 Can You Accept the Truth
I haven't heard what it is, but I'm already a little nervous when I hear my uncle say that.
The uncle sighed and said, "Actually, the people in our village died almost overnight."
Me: "Huh?"
And he said, "As for this death...... How can I say it, it is not a disease and a death, nor is it a natural or man-made disaster."
"It's that when our longevity comes, it's time to die."
I said, "That can't be, right? How could it be that all of a sudden, the same day had arrived?"
The uncle laughed and said, "Yes, that's what I mean."
"Anyway, that night, when the ghosts cried wolves, the people of Hades began to arrest people."
"I'm old, I can't sleep at night, and when I can't sleep, I go out for a walk."
"When I came back, I saw a lot of people with chains around their necks, and they were being dragged outside by the people of the underworld."
"I'll start running right away."
"Soon the men of hell will see me, and they will come and take me."
"I relied on my familiarity with the terrain, and I quickly got rid of those people."
"I didn't dare to show my head again, so I just hid in the latrine."
"This hiding is decades."
I was speechless and said, "You don't have to hide all the time, do you?"
"Could it be that the people of the underworld have been arresting you?"
The uncle said, "You're really right, they didn't go far, they always planned to arrest me."
"As soon as I show up, this chain will be around my neck."
Me: "......"
Ji Yansheng said to me, "Is there some kind of persecution paranoia in this relative of yours?"
"The people of the underworld are so idle, when they are full? I've been squatting here all the time for him."
After listening to Ji Yansheng's words, the uncle was not annoyed.
He laughed, "You, you don't understand the way of thinking of the underworld."
"I'm not fascinating them here, but the more important purpose is to find clues and find out your family."
I said, "Our family?"
The uncle snorted, "Why is our Yang Shou all gone in one day?"
"We later heard from the underworld why. It's your parents."
"The two of them, I don't know when they started to learn to cultivate immortals."
"People who cultivate immortals have two purposes, either for immortality or for becoming immortals."
"In fact, if you become an immortal, you can live forever, and the next step of immortality is to become an immortal."
"Therefore, the first step for those who learn to cultivate immortals is to seek immortality."
"And the first step to immortality is to cut on your own relatives."
I looked at the uncle suspiciously: "Operate on your own relatives? What do you mean by that?"
The uncle laughed, "I don't know if you've ever farmed."
"In the ground, if there is a big tree, then it is several meters in radius, and even the grass is malnourished."
"Why? The sunlight and the fertilizer in the ground are all sucked up by the trees."
"It's the same with your parents when they were immortals."
"If you want to increase your longevity, the first step is to absorb the longevity of your loved ones."
"If you suck your loved ones dry, they will live longer."
I frowned and said to my uncle, "Did you come up with this yourself, or did you hear it from somewhere else?"
The uncle said, "It was said by the people of the underworld themselves, and I heard it quietly."
I laughed, "The people of the underworld are sowing discord, right?"
The uncle said, "We are in the underworld, but we are the little people among the little people, is it necessary for them to sow discord among us?"
"In my opinion. It's true."
"Anyway, the people in the village hate your family to death."
"I've heard that the underworld has promised them if they can find your family. The people of the underworld will be able to return the yang life."
"At that time, the dead will be able to successfully return to the yang."
I said, "Let's not talk about anything else, but do you believe that the dead have succeeded in returning to the yang?"
"You've been dead for years, haven't you? I'm afraid it's going to be twenty years."
"The corpse isn't rotten yet?"
The uncle laughed: "Coincidentally, our corpses are really not rotten."
"These corpses are all kept by the people of Hades. I don't know if it exists in the underworld or where it exists, but it's not bad at all."
"Why did I fool you today?"
"As soon as you come, you are related to the people of our village, and it will be much easier to lie to you if you have a blood relationship."
"Second, there are people from the underworld who support and help behind their backs."
"There are too many methods for the people of the underworld, and with a little trickery, isn't it their specialty to disguise the dead as the living?"
I nodded, "Makes sense."
Ji Yansheng said suspiciously, "It stands to reason that you should also be in the same group as the villagers."
"Why are you helping to tell us these things?"
The uncle sighed and said, "I'm different from the other villagers. There is no way back for the others, so they have to believe whatever the people of hell say."
"I'm different, I can quit at any time."
"So, I'm thinking a little bit more."
"To be honest, I don't believe everything the people of Hades say."
"Since ancient times, I have only heard that one person has attained the Tao and the chicken dog has ascended to heaven, but I have never heard that learning immortals will harm the whole clan."
"So, I don't want to be a gunman and help the people of the underworld deceive and arrest your family."
"I hope to have the opportunity to meet your parents and see where our Yangshou went and what is going on."
