Chapter 40: Unraveling a Corner of the Puzzle
It's night again.
It's the second night of this town, and these two days and nights have been so 'exciting' that for the first time, I feel the length of time, even though it is only a few dozen hours, but I feel like I have spent months full of depression and despair here.
When will warmth and light return?
Thinking like this, I stretched out a little tiredly, in this room with two beds, Ruyue and Brother Chengxin had slept soundly on the left and right, they were tired enough this day, and they were busy all the time with the intention of doing as much as possible for these poor people.
I always thought that I was not a material for 'chores', except when I was forced to 'take care' of Master when I was a child, I hardly touched these things again, but I didn't want to have such a pleasant day.
These 'old people' are too pitiful, due to their physical weakness, many things are beyond their strength, and they are not careful to do certain things, and many people can't imagine that the environment they live in is so bad, and even a little dirty, and it is inevitable to feel sad for them.
Everything Uncle Wei told me, I had already told Brother Chengxin and Ruyue in the interval between things, Brother Chengxin originally insisted on treating Uncle Weijun, but was brought out by Uncle Wei Jun's words by Old Man Liu, he was not sick, it was caused by some kind of force, he calculated it himself, I am afraid that it can be cured and harm others, it is better to forget it, so let Brother Chengxin be silent for a long time.
After a long time, when he was wiping a table, he whispered to me: "It's too similar to the art of turning injuries, but I can't imagine what kind of existence can use the art of turning injuries so unscrupulously, and like this."
Brother Chengxin was silent, he was as shocked as I knew that there was a large-scale longevity borrowing technique here, but there was no solution, because with our ability, we couldn't imagine that this kind of forbidden spell could be used like this.
If you think about it carefully, you can think of what kind of enemy we are facing and what kind of grim unknown, so it is better not to want to do it at all, and it is better to move towards our goal from a state of 'numbness'.
Under the dim oil lamp, I put away my cranky thoughts, sat down at the table, at this time I was the most awake, and finally had time to read the letter left by Liu Erye in detail, Brother Chengxin and Ruyue also solemnly told me before going to bed, I must inform the content of the letter early tomorrow morning.
The letter was not very long, only two pages, but I read it very slowly, at first I read the letter with a relaxed look, but then the brow slowly furrowed, and finally the content of the letter was so heavy that I had to light a cigarette to calm my emotions.
I read the first time in half an hour, sent it for more than ten minutes, picked up the letter and read it again and read it the second time as if I couldn't believe it, and then read it several times.
By the time I finally put down the letter and had to confirm a fact, three hours had passed, and before I knew it, it was one o'clock in the morning.
Strictly speaking, Second Master Liu's letter did not solve the whole mystery much, but it contained several important clues.
First, the mysterious Lin Jianguo is the person from the so-called holy village, he disappeared for ten days and went to the holy village with Lin Jianguo, he did not tell in the letter whether he arrived at the holy village, how he sent the letter in the way of a soul, and under what circumstances the letter was written, but he said with great certainty that the holy village must exist, and there are many people living in it, with a life state that we can't imagine.
Second, the so-called 'poison' is actually the ability of the 'god' from the holy village, it is too powerful, it can make people live, old, sick and die, this is a taboo of heaven, but the existence of this holy village is against the way of heaven, Liu Erye emphasized in the letter that you must not doubt that the 'god' is so capable, and he also said sadly that this terrible ability can spread through the bloodline, which means that a person's relatives can be traced back to five generations, as long as there is the same bloodline within five generations, it will be spread by this ability. The most important purpose of him and Lin Jianguo can only stop the spread, but they can't save the town, which needs Liu Weijun to do the final protection.
Third, it is to inform Liu Weijun that in a way that he doesn't know, everyone is infected with this kind of 'poison', and they will not be able to flee because they are thousands of miles apart, because he and Lin Jianguo can temporarily prevent the spread of this poison and bloodline, but they can't prevent the next generation of newborn children from being 'poisoned', unless the child's parents give up believing in this. God', and then stay away from this town, it is possible to stop its spread, but at the same time, even if the child's parents flee to the ends of the earth, they will have a sad fate, but what kind of tragic fate is it, Liu Erye did not explain in detail.
Fourth, it is to tell Liu Weijun how to protect this town, he said in the letter that in fact, God's ability is not as strong as people imagine because of some kind of constraint, if it can, it is completely possible for a group of people to concentrate on the 'poison', that is to say, those who are ready to give up their faith and flee can leave one of them to bear the 'poison' of the family, ensure the growth of children, and ensure that the tragic fate of leaving relatives will not occur. In the letter, he told Liu Weijun that under the big kang in the shack where Lin Jianguo once lived, there was a statue of a god with 'divine power', and Liu Weijun could pray for it in a special way to obtain this ability to transfer, but at the same time, Liu Weijun had to pay a price, that is, every time he did something contrary to the will of God, Liu Weijun would suffer a kind of torture.
This is all the content of Liu Erye's letter, after reading this letter, the fans in this town can basically be solved, but this is too terrible.
To put it bluntly, I can understand that the people of this town have unknowingly fallen into a certain technique, which can be understood as a curse technique, or it can be understood as a combination of the forbidden technique 'deprivation and transfer technique', in this town, if there are people who are unwilling to give up their relatives and conscience, they must choose to leave, otherwise this scourge will spread to the next generation.
But the people who left were under the watchful eye of a pair of invisible eyes, so as long as they mentioned the things in the town a little, they would die a miserable death.
Then, the one who is completely selfish and wants to have a long life without illness or pain must sacrifice his own offspring, or sacrifice something else, and send it to that holy village in exchange for his own gain.
In the end, it is the most miserable group of people, in order to ensure that the relatives who have left get a peaceful life, the choice of a person to bear the skill imposed on the relatives is the group of people I saw Old Man Liu, they stayed in this town, it is indeed for a certain kind of protection!
The situation in this town is simply that.
After the initial temptation and madness, human nature finally presented several levels of state and was separated, there are great, willing to sacrifice everything for their relatives, there are those who have a conscience, and will not sacrifice their important people for their own desires, but there are also depraved, and there is only the inferior root of selfishness in their eyes.
At that time, I was afraid that Mr. Liu would be cold-hearted, it turned out that they had already experienced this separation of human nature, and in order to protect them, they couldn't be cold-hearted, so they could only insist!
Because they seem to be oppressed at the lowest level of the town, but they are a group of people who stand in the highest class of humanity in the whole town, because of this shining soul, they not only protect for their relatives, but also prevent sacrifices again and again, this is the light, this town where even the sun has become blurred, there is no light that has dispersed.
Some people will completely deny everything when they see some darkness, while some people will always hold hope and believe in beauty because they see some light.
What kind of life, what kind of attitude, only depends on one's own heart, life is not to enjoy to escape death, but to temper to be sublimated, but unfortunately there are too few people who can understand.
Putting away the messy thoughts, I lit another cigarette, the temptation to make people strip away is a performance, and as a professional, I must see the essence, in fact, such a thing is too unbelievable to say, but from the perspective of magic, it is not completely impossible.
For example, the five generations of bloodline will be implicated because of a person's technique, such a technique is a combination of the top techniques of the lifeline and the mountain line, why is it the five generations of bloodline, it is because of the same bloodline, there must be similarities in the lifeline, and genetics can also explain this problem, it is like a similar appearance, the advantages and disadvantages in the character.
If you use the technique of anti-heaven calculation to deduce the similarities in the lives of the five generations of connected people, then you can curse these people along this line with the top-level curse technique of the mountain lineage, or deprive these people of something.
Originally, Taoism originated from witchcraft, and the top-level Taoism was often large-scale witchcraft.
The Taoist family does not easily tell people about their fate, that is, they are afraid of being borrowed by others in silence, turning misfortune, borrowing luck, and borrowing blessings
Theoretically feasible, but it is too incredible to imagine, the combination of the five veins of metaphysics is too rebellious, not to mention the incomparably profound life character vein and the most difficult mountain character vein to practice? In addition, such a compound spell is already against the sky when used on one person, let alone the entire town?
I don't think my ancestors can do it to this extent!
The bigger puzzle in the middle is, why did Lin Jianguo stop it? Could it be that he is a more powerful being than us?
And Xiao Chengqian's eldest cousin will become like this, then my hand shook suddenly, that is to say, under such an anti-heaven existence, it is simply understandable that he has become like this.
I began to worry irrepressibly about Master, did they all get involved in this whirlpool? If yes, why? And now?
