Chapter 53: The City God Is Not God?
"You know?"
I frowned.
Actually, I've been thinking about this a lot.
The reason why I was looking for the coffin was just for a bone on the remains of the earth immortals inside to complete my own life, although I didn't know what to do, but this was what the old smoker told me, so I came here.
And the coffin didn't really do anything to me.
I don't have any thoughts about the coffin either.
But everyone they saw after coming to Fengling Village seemed to have a strong longing for the Zhenling Coffin, and that longing made them reluctant to leave even when they knew that they might die if they stayed in Fengling Village.
And that speaks for itself.
At this time, Liu Yunsheng said lightly: "There are actually only five real Zhenling coffins in this world, and the appearance of each Zhenling coffin means that there will be a living immortal born. ”
"These immortals in the world are born with the ability to understand yin and yang, but because they will have five disadvantages and three deficiencies from the time they are born, they lack souls and few souls, so even if they have the ability to go to heaven, they will be subject to the city god to which they belong."
"But the village keepers who can be called immortals in the world, they are actually the same kind of existence as the city god, so naturally they will not be willing to be subject to the city god anymore and cannot control their own lives."
"It's just that for thousands of years, only the one from Fengling Village a hundred years ago really changed his own life, thus killing the city god here."
"But he died too."
"Because of this, the town spirit coffin that belonged to him was left in this spirit village forever."
"Then all the people who came to Fengling Village to find the Zhenling coffin had only one purpose, and that was to find the secret of the immortal from the Zhenling coffin."
"Tongxian?" I don't quite understand.
But the subconscious tells me that these two words are amazing.
Liu Yunsheng continued to explain: "To put it simply, it is immortality! ”
"Immortality?" My eyelids jumped slightly.
Liu Yunsheng said lightly: "I don't know who spread the rumors." ”
"It is said that there is a secret of immortality in the coffin of that town."
"Since then, I don't know how many people have flocked to the coffin of the town."
"But even so, the Zhenling Coffin is too special, no one has really gotten it except for the village keeper who can be called the living earth immortal, and even the village keeper who is called the living earth immortal, when he has the town spirit coffin, he has lost his life, and he is buried with the town spirit coffin for a long time."
"It is rumored that it is a reward from the city god to those village keepers who can be called immortals in the world."
"Only the people who guard the village are eligible to get the town spirit coffin."
"Later, the matter was no longer over."
"Until that incident a hundred years ago."
"In the Immortal Tu Village, the city god died, and the Zhen Ling coffin once again attracted the attention of those who vainly tried to live forever, they thought that the city god died, and the town spirit coffin was an ownerless thing, and the person who got it could become a new city god."
"They think the city god is a god."
"They have replaced the city god, and they will naturally become immortals!"
"Is that true?" I asked subconsciously.
To be honest, I also felt a little moved when I heard what Liu Yunsheng said.
The word immortal is not difficult to understand.
Isn't it just to live forever?
And I want to make up for my life, in addition to not wanting to be subject to the city god, and rescuing the young lady, don't I also want to live in peace?
As if sensing my mood swings, Liu Yunsheng said again: "Immortality is just their imagination. ”
"Even the City God is just a family similar to the immortals of my lineage."
"After all, if it is a god, how can he die at the hands of mortals?"
When I heard this, I fell silent again.
Truly.
If this Chenghuang is really a god, then how can he die? No matter how powerful an immortal is in the world, he is just a person.
Then Liu Yunsheng said: "These people have been staying here since they came to Fengling Village, for the so-called immortality. ”
"It's not a pity to die."
I didn't answer, but I knew that Liu Yunsheng was telling me that Uncle Ghost and their deaths were all self-inflicted, and I didn't need to be sad and sympathetic or anything.
But in fact, I'm not sad, it's just that it's the first time that so many people have died around me at once, and I'm a little uncomfortable.
And this is the first time I know what it means to live nine deaths.
They were all dead.
I lived.
Whatever the reason, they are dead.
Thinking of this, I took a deep breath and calmed my mind down a little.
Everything is really like a dream.
After a while, I looked at Liu Yunsheng and said, "Then what should I do next?" ”
"Do you really want to help him get this Chenghuang remains out?"
I looked at the ice crystal bones on my back.
Liu Yunsheng nodded and said, "Of course." ”
"It's actually a deal between the old smoker and him."
I was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
This has something to do with the old smoker?
A ridiculous idea popped into my head.
Fengling Village was asked to come by the old smoker.
After coming here, it seems that many people know the old smoker, whether it is Uncle Ghost, or the old drunkard, or Mr. Ghost, or now Liu Yunsheng, they all seem to know the old smoker.
That's not to say.
All of this, in fact, is also designed by the old smoker?
But is it possible?
If the old smoker has this ability, why did he let me come out alone and almost give my life here?
Liu Yunsheng glanced at me but didn't want to answer me, just said lightly, you will know after a few words, and walked directly towards Yongdao.
I still want to ask, but Liu Yunsheng has disappeared.
There was no way, I could only carry the ice crystal bones on my back and hurriedly followed, so many things have happened, I don't want to stay in this hall for a moment.
Liu Yunsheng didn't really go far, but waited for me in the main hall outside.
Not only that, but there was one more person in the main hall.
The old woman.
But the old woman sat quietly on a futon as if she was dead, and I looked at it carefully and felt a familiar feeling.
"She's the temple keeper here."
"It's just that it was killed by that living immortal a hundred years ago, and the only remaining wisp of resentment has been left here because of the special nature of this City God Temple."
"If you don't provoke her, you'll be fine."
I frowned, "But I've seen her more than once." ”
Hearing my words, Liu Yunsheng's eyes under the mask were obviously a little more shocked.
"Are you sure?"
I thought about it for a while, and then I told me everything I had seen the old woman before.
From the first encounter on the mountain, to the appearance of an old woman in the second hall, to the experience that Mr. Oni inflicted on me through the remains of the city god, I don't know whether it is true or not.
I don't know why I chose not to hide Liu Yunsheng.
If I really want to say it, it is my subconscious that tells me that Liu Yunsheng will not harm me.
At least not yet.
And after listening to what I said, Liu Yunsheng fell silent directly.
It took him a while before he looked at me and said, "After finding the coffin of the spirit of the town, according to what she said, send the coffin of the spirit of the town to her." ”
Then he couldn't help but curse again.
"Old smoker, that old guy even cheated me!."
