Chapter 11 The Prerequisites for the Transfer of Consciousness
"Little guy, do you think the mountain god really wants to marry my sister?"
Walking on the road, Li Erhu suddenly raised his head and asked with a heavy heart.
“……”
Lin Zhongtian, who was standing on his shoulder, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
This guy was very lively when he met a beast in the mountains.
How did you get out of the mountain, and when you see people, you become so stupid, and you are even willing to believe this kind of statement.
Lin Zhongtian didn't bother to pay attention to Li Erhu, and looked left and right with a pair of big black eyes, looking at the situation in the village.
The reason why he followed Li Erhu down the mountain mainly had two purposes, one was to see the situation of human beings in this world, and the other was to find an opportunity to see if he could steal a corpse from this village.
In his cognition, since there are human beings in this world, it must be the world of human beings.
Walking in the human world with the body of an animal is somewhat inconvenient.
If he could, Lin Zhongtian would definitely have to change to a human body.
But he didn't want to kill people because of it, so a fresh corpse became his best bet.
It's a pity that along the way, none of the villagers are doing things in vain.
This couldn't help but make Lin Zhongtian feel a little disappointed.
Approaching the door, Lin Zhongtian suddenly jumped off Li Erhu's shoulder.
Li Erhu was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he hurriedly chased after him.
"Hey, where are you going?!"
Li Erhu shouted while chasing the footsteps of the little squirrel.
But in just a few seconds, the little squirrel completely disappeared from his vision.
Li Erhu was a little flustered, and hurriedly looked around, but after looking for a long time, he didn't find the figure of the little squirrel, so he had no choice but to give up and went home alone with his head down.
Regarding Li Erhu's psychological activities and what happened next, Lin Zhongtian himself actually didn't care.
He has already used the sixty-pound pork leg to repay the favor of the other party who brought him into the world.
As for whether this pork leg will be deceived by others, that is his Li Erhu's own creation.
Of course, if he could replace a human body earlier, he wouldn't mind taking action himself to punish the temple who was abducted and deceived in the name of the mountain god.
During this time, Lin Zhongtian had visited the entire village and had a general understanding of the situation in Qiugang Village.
It is an almost isolated village, nestled in a valley flanked by towering mountains, with only two narrow mountain paths leading to the world beyond the valley.
This has also made it extremely difficult for Qiugang Village to communicate and communicate with the outside world.
The vast majority of the villagers have lived here all their lives and have never set foot in the valley.
But in such a village, there is a private school that specializes in teaching young children literacy.
Lin Zhongtian quietly slipped in to take a look, and found that although the books in the private school were old, they were very well preserved, and at first glance, they were the result of being carefully taken care of as a baby.
At first, Lin Zhongtian was very surprised by this.
But recalling Li Erhu's words and deeds, he felt that it was reasonable.
Although this guy is a hunter begging for food in the mountains, his speech and demeanor are not vulgar.
Now that I think about it, I guess I also studied in this private school.
I don't know if it's because of isolation, but along the way, Lin Zhongtian found that the people in this village are very simple, the neighborhood relationship is very good, and most of the villagers have smiles on their faces.
This kind of atmosphere makes Lin Zhongtian can't help but think of Tao Yuanming's peach blossom source.
It's no wonder that Fu Youzhi deceived Li Erhu so easily.
After walking around the village, Lin Zhongtian came to the ridge outside the village.
The area of arable land in this valley is not large, but it is more than enough to support more than 30 families in the village, coupled with the abundant animal and plant resources in the mountains and forests on both sides, as long as there are no large-scale natural disasters, there is no need to worry about food and clothing.
This is probably one of the reasons for the good neighborhood relationship in Qiugang Village.
Running on the fields of the village platform, Lin Zhongtian opened his white-eyed perspective and carefully probed the surrounding situation.
In his understanding, in order to save the small amount of arable land in the valley, a village like this that has been settled in the valley for a long time should have placed the cemetery of its predecessors far away from the village, and it is likely to be in the mountains and forests outside the village.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lin Zhongtian to find a cemetery in a certain mountain forest.
There are a total of five tombstones in the cemetery, and looking at the names on the tombstones, it should be the family cemetery of a family surnamed Liu.
Lin Zhongtian opened his white-eyed perspective to probe, and found that none of the five graves had a working corpse.
The first three graves are the oldest, and the coffins buried deep in the ground have long since decayed, and the corpses inside have long been eaten away by insects and ants, leaving only a few pieces of tattered shrouds and rotting bones.
The last two graves are in better shape, but not much better.
Even the most well-preserved corpse is now a dried corpse.
Such a corpse is naturally unusable, and even if it is repaired with gray mist, it is estimated that it will not be repaired well.
There was no way, Lin Zhongtian had to give up this goal and start looking for the next cemetery.
This search is seven or eight hours, from the afternoon of the first day to the morning of the second day.
Almost all the cemeteries encountered during this period were buried together in the form of clans.
This saved Lin Zhongtian a lot of effort.
But it's a pity that after this whole night's hard work, Lin Zhongtian finally proved only one thing-
That is, the corpse that has been dead for many days cannot be taken away at all!
Because the premise of his transfer of consciousness is a well-functioning brain.
The brain is manipulated through the filaments of the gray mist, which receives all the senses and signals of this body.
As long as the brain is intact, physical deficiencies can be compensated for with gray mist.
But none of the corpses found by Lin Zhongtian had intact brains, either their brains had already shrunk, or they had turned into a mixture of pastes that couldn't tell what they were.
None of the corpses could contain the gray balls of his consciousness.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but sigh.
It seems that he can only take away the living, or the corpse that has just died.
The option of taking away the living had just risen from his mind, and Lin Zhongtian decisively left it behind.
Although his mentality has been detached from the category of human beings, he still subconsciously does not want to do such a thing.
After thinking about it, Lin Zhongtian decided to take his time.
Anyway, he lacks everything now, but he doesn't lack time.
Let's look at fate......
Lin Zhongtian thought so, turned around and ran in the direction of Qiugang Village.
……
……
After about three minutes, Lin Zhongtian returned to Qiugang Village.
As soon as he entered the village, he found that there were many fewer people in the village, and he thought that they had all gone to work in the fields, but after walking a few steps, he found that everyone had gathered at Li Erhu's house.
The courtyard, which was not too big, was full of people at the moment.
Everyone gathered in twos and threes, whispering something.
What's going on here?
Lin Zhongtian was greatly interested, climbed to the roof of the house two or three times, stepped on the tiles and jumped lightly, and jumped onto the windowsill of Li Erhu's house.
Before he landed, Lin Zhongtian heard the sound of quarrels coming from the house.
Looking through the gap in the window, Li Erhu was naked, being pressed by a tall man on the shoulder, sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the crowd in front of him with an angry face.
Beside him, two other men were staring at him.
Once Li Erhu wanted to get up, they would also help press him back.
Following Li Erhu's gaze, I saw three white-bearded old men standing next to a crying woman, whispering something.
The old man at the head was on crutches, and when he spoke in a tone of lesson, he was obviously a respected village elder in the village.
