Chapter 15: Corpse Golems

When the man had said these four words, he stood in the doorway like a wooden carving, not moving.

The fourth uncle said with some surprise: "It's you!" ”

I'm unmoved because I don't want to live anymore.

"Come over Gu Zhou, I know you're sad now, but things aren't what you think, your parents have long been refined into corpse puppets by him, so it wasn't you who killed them."

Hearing her say this, I felt a little better, and asked in a trembling voice, "What you said is true?" But my parents are still dead. ”

"So you have to live to avenge them!" The woman's tone was a little angry.

I rolled over and got up from the ground, thinking that what she said made sense, it didn't matter if I died, but wouldn't I never know who killed my parents if I died?

All disasters are caused by me, and I can't just die and escape from reality.

"Nosy!" The fourth uncle suddenly rushed towards the woman with an arrow step, and the woman hurriedly dodged back, shouting anxiously: "Gu Zhou, come here, don't you want to know the truth of the matter?" ”

Hearing her words, I instantly came to my senses and ran quickly towards the woman.

The woman grabbed my hand, and the two of us ran wildly in the rain, but the fourth uncle did not step out of the door.

She and I ran until we reached the Chenghuang Temple at the east end of the village.

I asked, "Who the hell are you?" ”

The woman said, "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that I am the same person as you." ”

I was stunned when I heard it, what kind of words is this, I am a man and you are a woman, why is it the same?

"Well, you don't want to say that I'm not reluctant, so do you know about my parents?"

The woman nodded and said, "Your parents were turned into corpses by that man, and they are not your biological parents. ”

The woman said a bombshell news, and I trembled when I heard it, and exclaimed: "What did you say? ”

"If you don't believe it, you can ask Ma Zhentong, you were raised by your parents." The woman nodded affirmatively.

"How do you know?" My mind was in a mess, I never knew about it, I really didn't know if it was true or not.

"Do you remember when your parents asked you to marry Liu Qian'er?" The woman didn't answer my question directly.

I said, of course I remember, didn't it all happen because of her?

The woman sighed and said, "You blame her, you didn't cause her death, so there's no reason for her to keep pestering you, the reason why she is pestering you is because the two of you have become together." ”

"And the reason why she found you is also to get you to leave the village, because someone doesn't want you to leave and wants your life."

I was stunned, was that so? Doesn't that mean that Liu Qian'er has been saving me, but my kindness has been treated as a donkey's liver and lungs.

"She didn't mean to harm you from beginning to end, she was sucked away from one soul and two souls, so the whole person became stupid, and after death, her soul returned to her body and knew the cause and effect of everything."

I swallowed my saliva, feeling very uncomfortable, if the woman's words were true, wouldn't it mean that it would harm others, and almost make her unable to reincarnate.

"And the reason why your parents want her to marry you is definitely not for your happiness."

"My words may offend you, but I must tell you that you are nothing more than a substitute for resurrecting their son in the eyes of your adoptive parents."

"What?" I slammed to my feet.

"Remember that black cat? The soul of their son was hidden in the black cat. "The woman's words made me break out in a cold sweat, which was a little too outrageous.

My parents did have another son when I was seven or eight years old, and when I was young, I just remember that my parents loved him very much, and I became the one who was left out.

It's just that the child died when he was four years old, and his parents went around with his body to seek medical treatment as if they had lost their minds.

I don't know what happened to me later, but the child's body was not buried in the village.

My father became silent from then on, and my mother was in tears all day long, and I was sad for a long time.

I didn't think much of it, I just felt that the pain of losing a child was really unbearable.

The woman's words reminded me of my father's attitude that day, when I saw the black cat climb onto the table of the Eight Immortals, and I felt bad luck and wanted to get rid of it, but my father was very angry.

And in the days when I kept Liu Qian'er's spirit, black cats appeared.

In this way, it seems that the appearance of the black cat is not a coincidence.

"I don't know what your parents are going to do, but that black cat has become a monster that absorbs death qi, even if it is resurrected, it is not a normal person, and this kind of evil method of renewing life is not tolerated by heaven, and it is impossible to succeed." The woman's tone was grim.

Since ancient times, it has been taboo to come back from the dead, even if it is a borrowing life, the person concerned still has a breath, and it has to pay a very big price, let alone resurrection.

"You can ask your master about these things, he knows better than me."

After listening to the woman's words, I was already stunned, the amount of information was too much, and I couldn't accept it at once.

When the woman saw that I was silent, she said, "There is no one in the world who is worthy of your complete trust, your life is in your own hands, and I cannot stay long, and we will definitely meet again in the future." ”

With that, the woman walked out of the City God Temple with a black umbrella.

I sat on the floor weakly, thinking about all the things that had happened during this time, as if my parents' reaction was indeed abnormal.

So I sat until dark, and despite the grumbling of hunger, I had no appetite at all.

Later, Li Guohua came to meet me at the City God Temple and brought me a bowl of noodles from his house.

I didn't move, not even the suppuration of the wound on my hand.

Li Guohua didn't speak, and took the noodles away early the next morning.

At this point, I don't know what to do next, even if the woman's words are true, so what?

I can't repay my parents for their nurturing kindness.

I kept leaning against the wall, and in the afternoon, a rustle of footsteps came in.
