The clouds in the sky are gone, and the cold on the ground is still strong.

Clusters of cold air that were neither ice nor snow swirled, blowing through the surrounding houses and trees, and immediately condensed a layer of exquisite and transparent ice crystals, and everything was like a jade brick.

Ji Yuan opened his mouth and spit out a cloud of white mist, looking at the villagers lying in the snow, not knowing whether they were alive or dead, his eyes felt a little different.

The faces of these villagers were bloodless, and a thick black aura enveloped them. The whole body was cold and hollow, like an empty shell, exuding a terrifying smell of death.

"What is this? Could it be that it is yin and yang eyes or something? ”

Ji Yuan frowned, realizing that he seemed to have become very sensitive to the power of gods and ghosts.

Although he is not very bold, he is afraid of the dark and ghosts, and he has always kept away from them. But now it's different, anyway, he doesn't know how much karma and resentment he has been contaminated, and he doesn't care if he can see real ghosts.

He turned to Nie and asked, "Have you figured out where to bury your mother?" ”

Nie Pan knelt in the snow, his face and body were covered with blood, still holding his mother's corpse and refusing to let go: "I...... I do not know. ”

Ji Yuan looked around and saw a colorful light rising not far away, like a puff of wolf smoke, condensing but not dissipating, and burrowing into the sky crookedly.

In his heart, he guessed that it was the villagers offering incense somewhere in the village, and the residual power of faith: "Do you have any ancestral temples or anything like that in your village?" ”

Nie Pan was stunned for a moment and replied, "Yes!" There is also a statue of the bird man in the ancestral temple, are you going to pound it? ”

Ji Yuan smiled: "Not only do you want to pound the statue, but you also have to bulldoze the ancestral temple and use it to settle your mother!" Feng Shui is definitely good there! ”

Nie Pan was speechless, he only knew that the ancestral temple was used to worship the gods, and then the ancestral urn, which was mysterious and gloomy, and his status was sacrosanct.

He never thought that one day, the ancestral temple would be bulldozed?

Ji Yuan picked up Nie's mother's body and followed Nie Pan. One after the other, the two stepped on the snow-covered loess road, and the melting snow under their feet mixed with the mud, making it more and more muddy.

On the way, Ji Yuan asked Nie Pan about the situation of the village: "You said that your place is called NIE Village?" Which NIE? Could it be that your surname is evil, not Nie! ”

Nie Pan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know words and didn't understand what Ji Yuan meant: "Isn't nie just nie?" ”

Ji Yuan squatted down, picked up a branch, and wrote in the snow according to what the old Taoist priest taught: "This is Nie, a surname." This is iniquity, which means evil and sin. ”

Nie Pan's feet slipped and he almost fell, looking at the surrounding sunshine, he felt gray.

His expression was a little struggling, and he asked himself thoughtfully, "According to the birdman's meaning, isn't it because of the sins of our previous lives that we are born so ugly in this life?" ”

Is it really self-inflicted?

Ji Yuan's heart was shaken, he was very strange, why were people born into three, six, nine and so on?

Some people have fine clothes and food, glory and wealth, while others will starve to death, freeze to death, and be displaced. There are also people like Nie Pan and them, who can't even be physically sound.

Who is in charge of all this, and what exactly must be done to live a satisfying life.

Could it be true that these villagers are like these villagers, worshipping evil gods and superstitious about cause and effect and the afterlife?

Ji Yuan spat fiercely and pointed at the sky: "Even if Lao Tzu really created any bad karma in his previous life, don't think that I will suffer with peace of mind in this life!" ”

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, dancing like a tiger with teeth and claws.

"I heard from an old Taoist priest that once upon a time there was a rich man who wanted to kill a beggar who asked for food at the door. The beggar takes it for granted, his life should be like this, and the rich man kills people in this life, and he will be punished in the next life. ”

Ji Yuan suddenly stopped and looked at the sky meaningfully: "Is there such a reason?" ”

Nie Pan's ears were buzzing when he heard this, and there was a light in his eyes, as if he had gained: "I don't know what karma is, and I don't know if there are gods. I only know that my mother gave birth to me and raised me, and if there is a god in this world who rules everything, it is my mother! ”

He calmed down: "I want to live well in this life!" ”

Ji Yuan was also happy after listening to it: "A good life depends on life, and the master who does it yourself is not in vain." ”

Nie Pan continued to explain to Ji Yuan: "Further west, there are Ye Village, Barrier Village, Sick Village, and Defeat Village...... The westernmost part was the merchant's village, which my mother said was a place where people could eat people and not spit out bones, and they should not go. ”

……

After a short time, the two arrived in front of the ancestral temple.

In front of Ji Yuan was a big house made of huge stones, with no plaques or words, and the breath of primitive barbarism was pressed like a mountain.

Nie Pan stood in front of the ancestral temple, still a little hesitant in his heart, but Ji Yuan beside him stepped in.

The inside of the ancestral temple was pitch black, colder than the outside, and you could feel that there were huge monsters, looking down at it, it was extremely weird.

Ji Yuan was walking in the ancestral temple, and an invisible force was pulling him, as if he had put shackles on him, and every step was extremely heavy.

"Sin Village...... Do you want everyone to think that they are guilty? ”

In the pitch-black ancestral temple, Ji Yuan's eyes widened, and he shot out two lightning-like gazes, illuminating a piece of snow within ten steps, like "electricity in the void".

He used all his strength to lift his legs, and the temple suddenly swelled, as if a dragon was rolling over the waves, and a giant elephant was trampling.

Immediately, the terrifying force erupted like a volcano, tearing the ground into a circle of ripple-like cracks, and the entire temple crumbled.

Ji Yuan walked to the center of the temple, looked at night with his eyes, and saw a huge statue of a god seven or eight feet high with a bird-faced human body on the altar.

In his eyes, the god is like stepping on a lotus platform, exuding a colorful and brilliant light like the desires of the world. For some reason, it was covered with cracks, like broken porcelain.

He laughed playfully, jumped on the altar, and looked at the densely packed ash jar placed at the foot of the statue: "Anyway, you all believe in karma, and if you meet me, it will be considered a catastrophe, so I won't move you anywhere, haha!" ”

Then he squatted down and hugged the idol with open arms: "This place is spacious, just bulldozed, and Nie Pan's mother is a yin house!" ”

With a wild roar, Ji Yuan's arms pierced into the bottom of the idol like iron hoops, and the cracks spread on the idol like a dragon snake.

Holding the huge statue of the god, he slowly stood up, the altar under his feet was trampled to pieces, and the ash jar fell to the ground, raising a thick layer of white ashes.

The next moment, the statue weighing tens of thousands of catties, like a big tree, was uprooted by Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan was holding a huge statue of the god, his chest was heaving, his body was full of breath, and his face was full of arrogance.

He laughed insolently, and shouted at no one for him: "The grasshopper shakes the tree, the mantis arm blocks the car, why not?!" ”

At this time, there was a black wind and black air under his feet, and the ancestral temple was instantly filled with the breath of disaster and destruction.

He hurriedly looked down to see that there was a bottomless cave under the altar, as if some ancient murderer was being imprisoned: "Huh? Why is there a big hole under the altar of this idol? It's so deep, I don't know if there is a way to go to the underworld? ”

The ancestral temple suddenly shook even more, and huge stones rolled down, and there seemed to be some behemoth under the ground that was about to rush out.

A strong sense of crisis instantly enveloped Ji Yuan's heart.
