"Mother-in-law, how can there be so many coffins here? These coffins are full of corpses? Or something else? ”

Hearing this, Granny Long smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll open it for you." With that, she raised her legs and walked to one of the coffins, grabbed the protruding surface on the side of the coffin lid, and then slowly opened it under the gaze of Tong Yan.

Tong Yan looked at it carefully, but he wanted to see what was in it. But after reading it, he was stunned for a moment.

Inside the coffin was not a zombie or other monster as he had imagined, but a large bug with white hairs all over its body.

The big worm wriggled in the coffin, as if trying to get out of it.

After Granny Long showed Tong Yan, she immediately closed the coffin lid again, and reached out and knocked on it.

When she knocked it, the coffin suddenly stopped shaking, and it was honestly quiet.

Tong Yan frowned, and then asked puzzledly, "Granny Long, how can there be such a big bug in this coffin?" What do you want me to watch them do? ”

Hearing this, Granny Long sighed lightly and said, "You think they are insects, but in fact, they are all human!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Tong Yan couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and immediately asked: "Is it a human?" How can a person become a bug? ”

Granny Long stretched out her hand to the outhouse and motioned for Tong Yan to go out and speak.

Tong Yan understood, and hurriedly followed Granny Long out of the inner room and returned to the outhouse.

There were only two small benches in the outhouse, and Granny Long sat down on one of them, and then said to Tong Yan, "You can sit too!" I don't usually have any guests here, so I don't have any tea or snacks, so you can be wronged. ”

Hearing this, Tong Yan smiled slightly and said: "How come, it is an honor for the younger generation to be fortunate to come to your mother-in-law's residence, and you will not be wronged." With that, he also sat down on the bench.

When Granny Long saw him sit down, she said truthfully: "I didn't lie to you, the worm in the coffin is the person in this village." They were poisoned by a very strange poison that made them what they are now. If they don't get the antidote in a short time, they will all have to festering all over their bodies and die. ”

Tong Yan was a little confused, what poison can turn a big living person into a worm? It's kind of incredible. But then again, the world is so big that there are no surprises. Maybe there are really vicious people who have refined such poison, could it be...... Could it be the person of the Five Poisons Sect?

"Mother-in-law, can you tell me how they were poisoned? And who poisoned them like that? ”

Granny Long sighed lightly again, and then replied: "There is a deserted ancient well in the southwest corner of the village, and white smoke often rises from the ancient well. The people in these coffins are the ones who have become what they are because they have inhaled the white smoke. To tell you the truth, the person in this coffin has just been poisoned recently. The person who was poisoned some time ago, has died. Although the people in the village now already know that the ancient well cannot be approached, as long as the wind blows, the white mist will still spread to the village, making it impossible to prevent it. ”

When Tong Yan heard this, he was puzzled and said: "Since the ancient well is strange, why don't you just seal the ancient well, or move the people in this village out of here, so that it will be fine?" ”

Granny Long smiled and said, "You're right, these are indeed the two best ways. But no one dared to approach the ancient well, so naturally there was no way to seal it. As for getting the people in the stockade to move out of here, it's even more impossible. This village has a history of thousands of years, and the people in the village regard it as their home. Even if they die, they will never leave their homes. Besides, some of their relatives have already died here, and they feel that leaving is a betrayal, so neither option is advisable. ”

In Tong Yan's view, the people in this village are really a little pedantic, but on the other hand, this is also a kind of persistence and a belief of theirs.

In fact, not only ethnic minorities, but also Han Chinese, there are many people who would rather die than leave their hometowns. In their opinion, if they leave their homeland and die elsewhere, they are destined to become lonely ghosts, wandering around and having nowhere to turn to. Falling leaves return to the roots, how can it not talk about the obsession with the homeland and hometown.

Tong Yan thought about it for a while, then suddenly thought of something, and then smiled bitterly: "Mother-in-law, you always said that you want me to help you do something, so you tell me the specific location of the Five Poisons Sect." Say, what the hell do you want me to do? It can't have anything to do with this poisonous smoke ancient well, right? ”

Hearing this, Granny Long nodded and smiled, "That's right, that's exactly what I want you to do for me." I want you to help me seal that ancient well, as long as I can seal it. I'll tell you the true location of the Five Poisons Sect. ”

Sure enough, it was not out of Tong Yan's expectations, and he let himself risk sealing the ancient well, which is a bit harsh. He is not a fool, how can he not tell the difference between what is worth doing and what is not?

"Mother-in-law, to be honest, I really want to help this village. However, this is almost in exchange for his own life. Which do you think is more important than my life? Which is lighter? I think you know in your heart that this deal is not fair. So, please forgive me for not being able to say yes. ”

When Granny Long heard this, she didn't get angry, but smiled slightly: "You're right, you really lost a lot of money on this deal." But if I add some chips, you'll see if I can make it. ”

Hearing this, Tong Yan smiled faintly and said, "Plus chips? What chips? Let's hear it. ”

Seeing that Tong Yan was interested in knowing, Granny Long immediately smiled and said, "Actually, you should have already discovered the corpse qi on my body, do you think I am a zombie?" No, I'm actually human. I've lived for thousands of years, and I'm going to live forever. The chip I want to add is the immortality technique that I have cultivated. Are you interested? ”

The art of immortality? If this technique was known by the ancient emperors, I am afraid that they would be willing to exchange half of the country. But it's a pity that Tong Yan doesn't care how long he can live. Birth, old age, sickness and death, this is the cycle of heaven. What is changing one's life against the sky, what is immortality, this is just a mirror for Tong Yan, and he has no interest at all.

"Mother-in-law, to be honest, your bargaining chip is really tempting. But the thing is, for me, the temptation is basically zero. So I'm sorry, but I still can't promise you. ”

Tong Yan's words really surprised Granny Long. There are very few people who are not interested in a person who will live forever and not die.

But then she offered a new bargaining chip, and this time Tong Yan finally didn't refuse, and agreed to risk going to the ancient well that would emit poisonous smoke.

What kind of bargaining chips would make Tong Yan willing to risk death to go to the ancient well? Why does the mysterious ancient well emit poisonous smoke? Stay tuned!
