CHAPTER 101 - LIVING SACRIFICE

Seeing that the crowd had gradually dispersed, Su Jin said tiredly, Let's go back as well. We didn't close our eyes for the whole night, let's go to my house to rest first. As he spoke, he turned around and walked back home.

We sighed. Right now, it was impossible for us to leave, so we could only resolve this issue. Helplessly following Su Jin's footsteps, we walked towards Su Jin's home silently.

After a busy night, we were all hungry. After casually eating something at Su Jin's house, Lin Ziqiang said worriedly, What should we do now? If we can't find the problem, how can we solve it?

Su Jin's face was also full of worry. She said absent-mindedly: We can't think of any reason here. Everyone is tired, let's rest for a bit and go out later to find the reason. Then he got up and went out.

Watching Su Jin leave, Lin Ziqiang said with a serious face, I feel that there is something wrong with Su Jin.

Xiao Xue went cold for a moment, and then said in puzzlement: "Isn't Su Jin helping us all the time? Why did he say he had a problem?

Lin Ziqiang thought for a moment and said, When the villagers mentioned the sacrificial offering, Su Jin seemed a little nervous, or perhaps this sacrificial offering was shameful in some way?

Snowy nodded and said, I also noticed what you said. Don't tell me they really have the custom of living sacrifice? Do you want me to sacrifice you with the living? As Xiao Xue spoke, her pale face turned even more ugly. If this was really what she had guessed, then where did all the sacrifices come from?

Thinking of this, even Lin Ziqiang shivered. He did not dare to think any further, and the atmosphere became a little gloomy. I felt that there was something wrong with the entire village. At this moment, when they didn't say anything, I couldn't help but ask, Do you not feel that there is a problem with the entire village?

Xiao Xue replied, The people from this village really make people feel that something is amiss. Aren't we the same when we came here?

I shook my head and said, I'm not talking about that. When we first came here, everyone in the village had a stiff expression, including Su Jin. But now, everyone's expression is much more vivid, Su Jin is the same, she was always a dead face before, and now we can see joy, anger, sadness, and joy on his face. What made them so fast?

Lin Ziqiang frowned and said, Maybe it's because the people in the village haven't had contact with anyone for a long time, so they're a bit stiff. Now that we're here, are they feeling better? There was uncertainty in his tone. Even Lin Ziqiang himself didn't quite believe those words.

I shook my head and said, It definitely isn't that simple. We didn't even have three days to bring the entire village, and we only have a bit more to talk to Su Jin, but we haven't seen the rest of the villagers, let alone communicate with them. If Su Jin thought we were the ones who changed, that would be acceptable, but if everyone here has this reason, then there's no way to explain it.

Snowy asked in puzzlement, Then do you think this has anything to do with the villagers' mutation?

I shook my head. I don't know either. Everything in this village is too strange. The further I search, the more I feel that there are great secrets hidden within this village. I want to leave this place.

Xiao Xue bit her lips as if there were some things she did not want to say. Seeing this, Lin Zi Qiang could not help but ask: Xiao Xue, did you discover anything?

Snowy struggled. After a while, she whispered, Do you guys think this place will become the second Hu Family Village?

Xiao Xue's words caused my expression to change. I couldn't help but recall the terrible situation that happened at that time, and my expression became a little ugly.

Lin Ziqiang sighed and said, It shouldn't be. The tragedy in Hu Village was caused by the great change in the tomb. Now that the Yin Qi in the tomb has been gathered, it shouldn't happen again.

Snowy said with uncertainty, Yeah, I think so too, so I'm a bit hesitant. It's just that the reason is really confusing. It can't be because we destroyed the Three Yin Tombs, can it?

The more we discussed, the more we felt that this matter was very hazy, and after a long time, we still couldn't come to a conclusion. Lin Ziqiang said tiredly, "Alright, we don't understand this village, it will only increase our worries if we continue talking about it. Let's wait and see if Su Jin has any ideas.

We haven't had a wink since yesterday, and we're really tired. As soon as we touched the pillow, I fell asleep, but it was a very unsteady sleep, and I've been dreaming, and I don't have the slightest impression that something is going to happen.

I was woken up by the sound of the door being knocked on. The sky had already darkened and it was already evening. I didn't know why, even though I had rested for such a long time, this sleep of mine made my entire body ache.

Lin Ziqiang had already woken up. His expression was not good and he should have not had a good rest. I rubbed my hazy eyes and asked hoarsely, What happened outside that caused such a ruckus?

Hearing my words, he said in a deep voice, I've also just woken up. I don't know what happened.

The noise outside the door was getting louder and louder. It seemed that quite a few people had arrived at Su Jin's house. I endured my exhaustion, putting on my clothes as I said to Lin Ziqiang, Let's go out and check it out. It seems like there's something wrong.

When we came out, there were several villagers surrounding Su Jin clamoring, saying something, Let them come out, they have to give me an explanation today!

Su Jin quickly explained that it was none of our business, we didn't even know about these things.

I was a little confused from listening, but before I could ask what was going on, the villagers saw me and shouted, They've come out! They're over there!

Before he finished his sentence, someone rushed over. Su Jin didn't even have the time to stop him before I was grabbed by the collar and shouted, You liar, return my son's life! Saying that, he raised his hand to hit me!

Seeing that, Su Jin was anxious, but she did not care about anything else. She hastily pressed the man's hand in front of my body and angrily said: What are you doing, daring to make a move at my house, do you want to fight with me? Hurry up and let go! Let's listen to what the master has to say first!"

I was confused by everything that was happening in front of me. I had no idea what was going on, but these people looked as if they had an irreconcilable grudge with us!

Su Jin usually had some prestige in the village. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to hold back the villagers yesterday. Now that she was angry, this villager was a little scared. He bitterly let go and said: No matter what, we must have an explanation today!

Lin Ziqiang and I were completely shocked when we heard that. We couldn't help but ask Su Jin, What exactly happened here? What happened to these people?

I didn't have a good rest to begin with. Furthermore, I was almost beaten up the moment I woke up. I was also feeling a bit stifled within my heart. Naturally, my tone wasn't very good. When that person heard my words, his eyes opened wide and he prepared to charge at me. I also don't want to be outdone, do you really think I'm so easy to bully!

When Su Jin saw that we were about to start fighting again, she hurriedly pushed us over and scolded that person. She told them to wait outside, pulled Lin Ziqiang and I aside and softly explained to me.

It turned out that the people who had come home last night were still fine, able to eat and drink, but for some reason, after noon, they became completely powerless, and couldn't even stand up. At first people thought that they had been injured last night, so they just needed to rest a bit, but who knew that as time passed, not only did these people not improve at all, they became more and more powerful, and finally, people began to die.

After listening to Su Jin's words, we were also shocked in our hearts. Lin Ziqiang asked in disbelief, He's dead? What was the cause of death?"

Su Jin shook her head and said, I don't know, they came before I could check. I also heard about this from them.

I was still somewhat angry in my heart. I couldn't help but say, It doesn't matter to us whether they die or not. It's not like we didn't kill them!

Su Jin could only bitterly smile as she said to me, I believe you all can see how exclusive our village is. They thought it was because of you guys that brought disaster to our village. I can only stop them from coming.

Lin Ziqiang's eyes focused as he spoke with a deep tone, What do you mean by that! Hearing this, I couldn't help but be surprised. I didn't know what was the point of it, but seeing Lin Ziqiang's expression, it didn't seem like he was joking, so I didn't make a sound.

After a while, she resigned herself to fate and said: Brother Lin, it seems like you have already seen through it. As of now, there is nothing left to hide anymore, not bad, that's the way you think!

Hearing this, Lin Ziqiang's face turned pale. He exclaimed, How could that be? I was just guessing, how could it be true!

I was a little confused and couldn't help but ask, What are you two talking about? Are you trying to solve a riddle?

Su Jin's face turned ugly. She smiled bitterly and didn't say a word. Lin Ziqiang's face also turned ugly. After a while, he trembled and said, Do you remember the sacrifice we mentioned this morning?

After hearing Lin Ziqiang's words, my face instantly paled. You're talking about a living sacrifice? I asked, trembling. Could it be that these people want to sacrifice us alive to the fairies of this underground palace? "

Seeing Su Jin nod her head in silence, the last trace of hope in my heart was shattered. I said in horror, What era is this? How can there be such a barbaric and bloody custom! When Lin Ziqiang mentioned this morning, I thought it was just a guess. Now that Su Jin admitted it herself, I couldn't accept it for a moment.

Su Jin's face was also full of bitterness as she said weakly, Actually, this custom has been circulating in our village for a long time and it has never been abolished.

Lin Ziqiang's face was also filled with disbelief as he exclaimed in shock, No wonder there are no outsiders in your village. Could it be that all the outsiders have been sacrificed to this fairy?

Su Jin shook her head and said, We are not as crazy as you think. The main reason why there are no outsiders here is because the Cheng Xian Forest is not accessible to normal people. That's why I was very surprised when you came in. Furthermore, our place is too remote, and no one has come back.

Hearing Su Jin's words, we also felt a lot more relieved. I couldn't help but ask, Then where did you get your offerings from?

Su Jin said with a bitter face, "In fact, the usual sacrifices are made with livestock. The livestock in the village are mostly because of the sacrifice, so we don't have the poultry that we see in the countryside. I've only seen a living sacrifice once since I can remember! It was because of a love affair between two young wives that they had been sacrificed together!

CHAPTER 102 - VILLAGERS' ANGER

Su Jin's words startled us. I didn't care about my anger anymore, compared to my life, getting hurt a little was nothing. I hurriedly said, Then what should we do now, are we going to be sacrificed like that? I won't be willing to die like this.

Now that he said it, I was glad that Snowy hadn't come out from the house. If I were to be caught by these villagers again, I didn't know what to do.

Su Jin said, Now we can only delay them. Why don't you all leave the village in the dark of the night. This isn't your problem after all. Don't stay here and die for nothing.

Lin Ziqiang shook his head and said, Now that they plan to use me as a sacrifice, they will definitely prevent us from secretly running away. Besides, we are not familiar with this place, and without your guidance, we won't even be able to leave the village.

At this point, we couldn't help but fall silent. Su Jin became dejected and speechless. She also knew that sneaking away was impossible, so the atmosphere suddenly became a bit depressing.

This desperate situation had instead aroused the unwillingness in my heart. Looking at the two of them, I gritted my teeth and said, We can't escape now. I don't believe that we won't be able to find a solution to this matter.

Upon hearing my words, Lin Ziqiang was also stunned for a moment before he said, What do you mean by that?

I didn't know why, but facing the pressure of life and death, I didn't feel flustered anymore. With a cold face, I said in a deep voice, "Since we're already in this state, we don't have anything to worry about. We should go out and stabilize the corpses of these villagers.

When I said this, Lin Ziqiang also lit up some hope. He said in a deep voice, At this point, there is no other way. Let's do it this way. But what excuse do we have to delay them? "

Thinking about this, I also felt helpless. The most traditional village with a living sacrifice like this, even we couldn't figure out what these villagers were thinking. We could only ask Su Jin for help.

Seeing our expressions, Su Jin knew that he had to find an excuse. She did not refuse and thought for a long time before gritting her teeth and saying, To be honest, there are no outsiders in our village and the relationship between families is extremely deep. If we want to stabilize them now, a normal excuse would be useless.

I looked at Lin Ziqiang and asked solemnly, Why did you blow it a little more?

Su Jin said seriously, When the time comes, say that you can revive them!

Although Lin Ziqiang and I also thought of some so-called cowards, we did not think about rebirth. Moreover, we had just experienced the so-called rebirth in the tomb and it was just an illusion, now that Su Jin suddenly said those words, we were caught off guard.

We looked at Su Jin with some surprise. Seeing his serious face, he didn't seem like he was just randomly looking for a few bites.

Lin Ziqiang said hesitantly, Isn't this excuse a bit too inconceivable? Can you convince them? The meaning behind his words was that Su Jin's excuse was too fake. Normal people wouldn't believe it.

Su Jin saw that it was hard for us to accept, and explained: Our Jingling Village is different from the outside world after all, we sacrificed the fairies here, and they originally had a thousand years of rebirth. Moreover, these people just died not too long ago, so the number of people buried should not be many. You still have a chance!

Hearing that Su Jin said that the fairy from the underground palace could cause a person to be reborn, I couldn't help but think of Nalan Yanran from the Seven Evils and Three Yin Tombs. I felt more and more that this Silent Mausoleum had something to do with this tomb, but now isn't the time to pursue this matter.

Seeing that the villagers outside were getting more and more excited, and were probably going to rush over soon, he also became more anxious. Gritting his teeth, he said to Su Jin: "We'll do as you say! If we can't get past this, we will be sacrificed, and if we are discovered to be deceiving them, that will be the result. If we can die a few days later, that will be a profit.

Seeing that the villagers outside were getting more and more excited, and were probably going to rush over soon, he also became more anxious. Gritting his teeth, he said to Su Jin: "We'll do as you say! If we can't get past this, we will be sacrificed, and if we are discovered to be deceiving them, that will be the result. If we can die a few days later, that will be a profit.

Su Jin looked at me and saw the determination in my eyes. She knew that I had already made up my mind. She didn't continue nagging and said in a deep voice, Alright, we will do that! With that, he left the room.

When the villagers saw that we had returned, they immediately became angry and shouted, Get the foreigners to come out and give us an explanation.

Why did something happen to my village after they came? They must have brought us disaster!

Yes, especially that woman who looks like a fairy from the underground palace. Maybe it's because she looked right that the fairy from the underground palace punished us!

When I heard these villagers shouting, I also felt a bit panicked. However, after thinking about what we had previously agreed on, I could only pretend to be calm. With a confident look, I looked at everyone without the slightest bit of fear.

Su Jin said loudly to the villagers, Everyone, don't worry. Just now, the few masters first understood your situation. The masters said that your families might be able to be saved!

When everyone heard this, they were also stunned. Someone then loudly said, You guys are lying! They don't seem like people with such great magic power. Only the fairy from the underground palace can revive them. How can they compare with the fairy!

Su Jin pretended to be angry and said loudly: "Foolish, a fairy from the underground palace can indeed let a person die and be reborn, but that doesn't mean other people can't. Besides, these few masters have profound mana, although they can't compare to the fairy from the underground palace, but they can still use some tricks.

Su Jin's flattering, coupled with her harsh tone, made the villagers somewhat indecisive. After a while, someone asked in doubt, Masters, can you really revive our families?

Su Jin said with a face full of confidence, That's only natural. Besides, maybe your family is really dead. If you faked your death, it would be even easier for the masters!

Judging from Su Jin's tone, there's nothing that we can't do. With that confident expression on our faces, if I didn't know beforehand, I would have believed it a little, not to mention these villagers who were brainwashed by the legends of the rebirth of the fairy from the underground palace.

Although this was the case, these villagers were still a bit hesitant. Su Jin hadn't lied to them for so many years, and besides, everything in the village was handled by Su Jin. Although Su Jin seemed to be bragging, everyone still believed seventy to eighty percent of it.

Seeing that everyone believed him, Su Jin took advantage of the situation and said loudly, What are you all still standing here for? Why aren't you all showing the way to the masters and taking a look at the situation of your family members? If you delay it, except for some problems, who are you going to blame?

When everyone heard this, they muttered in their hearts, if what Su Jin said was true, then even if we were to sacrifice our families alive, it would not be worth it. Thus, they hesitantly stepped aside, and the middle-aged man who beat me up just now was a bit impatient, and loudly said: Two great masters, please come to my house to take a look first.

I first went to Snowy's room to tell her about what had happened. My face was a little haggard, but after I finished speaking, I didn't mind her being rude. Instead, I gently said to her, We'll go together. We'll take care of each other. I shook my head and said, There's no need. You can stay inside. With Su Jin, nothing bad will happen.

Xiao Xue originally wanted to say something, but now that Lin Ziqiang was calling to me, the villagers were getting impatient. I hastily bid farewell to Xiao Xue and followed the villagers out.

The villagers who surrounded us before didn't disperse. Instead, they followed us the entire way, wanting to see how we could revive them. Although I wasn't confident, I still had to pretend that I was confident.

Lin Ziqiang had been frowning. I thought he was worried about being exposed, so I didn't pay much attention to it. The middle-aged man's home wasn't too far away from Su Jin's, and it was only around ten minutes away.

The middle-aged man ushered us into the room, where we found a boy of fifteen or sixteen lying on the bed. His face was pale and his eyes were closed, as if he had been dead for a long time. There was a middle-aged woman sitting beside the bed. She was about forty years old and her face was expressionless. Although she was staring at the boy on the bed, her eyes were empty. It was unknown if she was still conscious.

Seeing such a weird scene in front of me, I was really shocked. I forced myself to remain calm and said, You guys leave first. I want to check this child's condition!

The middle-aged man was extremely fond of his son. When he heard my words, he hurriedly said, Can't we just watch from here? Let's see how we feel about this!

I was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so I pretended to be an expert and said, How can we just let others see our godly methods? When the time comes, will you be responsible for delaying the rescue?

When the middle-aged man heard this, he couldn't refute her. Carefully putting the woman down, he slowly walked out of the room. Faintly, I seemed to hear the woman mutter, They're here, they're here.

I was shocked and hastily looked towards the woman. I saw that she had a stiff expression and a weird smile on her face. However, it seemed that she didn't say anything.

Lin Ziqiang saw that my expression wasn't right and asked with some concern, How can you be so strong?

I curiously asked, Did you hear what that woman said just now?

Su Jin and Lin Ziqiang looked at each other and whispered, No? Did this woman just say something? "

I shook my head and whispered, It's nothing. Maybe I heard wrong.

Lin Ziqiang did not pursue the matter. He said softly, Tianyi, you are also a student of medicine. First, go take a look at the cause of death of this man.

I nodded, stepped forward, and examined it.

It was strange that this person should have been dead for more than three hours, but the muscles throughout his body had not started to stiffen, and there were no blood stains that should have appeared on his body. Only that his body temperature was much lower than that of a normal person, and this person's internal organs were completely intact, and there were no signs of any disease on his body. It could be said that other than having no heartbeat, he was no different from a normal person, and there was no way to determine the cause of death.

I also frowned. After studying medicine for such a long time, I have never seen such a weird situation. Su Jin saw that my face wasn't good and her heart sank, but she still held onto a glimmer of hope and asked, Did you see anything?

I shook my head slowly and said, a little disappointed, This person didn't die from any injuries. He suddenly lost all of his life force. We were unable to find any clues.

CHAPTER 103 - CUES

When Lin Ziqiang saw this, he also let out a deep sigh. He said in a deep voice, I have also taken a look at this house earlier. There are no traces of spells. I presume that it did not die because of the Xuan Gate technique.

For a moment, the room fell into a strange silence. After a while, Su Jin said in a dry voice, Then, what should we do now?

I helplessly said, Let's go and see the others. However, this one doesn't mean anything.

Lin Ziqiang said bitterly, There's no need to look. It's definitely the same question. We can't find the reason for this, and the rest are the same.

Su Jin said helplessly, Right now, the most important thing is how to stabilize them first.

I told Su Jin, We'll depend on you then. Let's think of an excuse to stabilize them. We'll talk while we drag it on.

Su Jin helplessly shook her head and said in a deep voice, Sigh, I guess this is the only way.

The villagers outside the village could not wait any longer. When they saw us coming out, one of them asked loudly, Masters, what's the matter? When will our families be revived?

Su Jin said loudly, Everyone, don't worry. This rebirth technique is very troublesome. Master needs to go back and prepare.

Although our hearts were filled with bitterness, we still had to put on a confident look and cooperate with Su Jin's lie.

Another villager asked, How long is the Grand Master going to be preparing for? If we wait for too long, won't it affect our families?

I felt helpless and could only step forward. I said loudly, Don't worry, this rebirth technique is very complicated and requires a lot of preparations. My friends and I need to go home and prepare for two days, but don't worry, there won't be any problems with your family for the next two days.

Seeing that, Su Jin quickly said in a loud voice, Okay, the master also needs to go back and prepare something. Everyone can leave now. In two days, we will see his family members come back!

Although she still had some doubts in her heart, the villagers slowly dispersed. Su Jin looked at the back of the crowd and sighed, Let's go home first, this is not a good place to talk.

The sky had already darkened. Seeing that we had returned, Snowy hurriedly asked, How is the situation? Have you found any clues?

With a gloomy expression, I shook my head. There's nothing at all. These people aren't injured at all. It's as though their life force has suddenly disappeared.

Hearing that, Snowy couldn't help but sigh and comforted me, It's alright. There might be a chance.

Although I knew that Snowy's words weren't from the bottom of her heart, it was for my own good. I forced a smile at her.

It was already late and we were not in the mood to eat. Su Jin said bitterly, What should we do now? We have already spread out the panic. How do we end up like this?

Seeing that we were silent, Su Jin said, Although we've stabilized the villagers today, I'm guessing that they might not be able to hold it in tomorrow. If that doesn't work out, you guys should just escape first.

Lin Ziqiang shook his head and said, It's useless. Looking at the situation today, I think there will be people watching us. When we return, I can feel that there are people staring at us everywhere. It seems like they have never trusted us before.

Hearing this, we felt even more helpless. We thought that we had already tricked them, but who would've thought that these villagers were just trying to find comfort in our hearts. They didn't believe me at all.

Hearing this, Snowy sighed and said softly, Are we just going to wait for death?

For a time, no one spoke. After a while, Lin Ziqiang opened his mouth and said, I have something I don't understand. I would like to ask little brother Su.

Su Jin was stunned for a moment and then said, Speak, there's no need to hide now. If I knew, I would tell you everything.

I also thought it was strange that Lin Ziqiang still had any questions, so I couldn't help but to stare at him curiously. Lin Ziqiang said in a deep voice, This afternoon, I heard some villagers say that their dead families have been buried? Why was he so fast? Is there any legend about this custom of yours? "

Hearing Lin Ziqiang's words, we were all stunned. Isn't discussing the problem of the dead slower? Why are they buried? We couldn't help but ask, What does this have to do with the death of the villagers? Besides, the weird custom in this village is not only this, why should we care about this?

Lin Ziqiang shook his head and said, We don't have any leads, so we can only find some clues from this. Besides, this custom in the village has its own dangers.

Hearing Lin Ziqiang's words, Su Jin was also stunned. She curiously asked, What hidden trouble?

Lin Ziqiang said in a deep voice, Even though people die like lanterns are extinguished, there is still smoke when the lamps are extinguished, not to mention people. After a normal person dies, their soul and body would leave their body and slowly leave within three days. If we are to be buried at this time, our souls will be trapped inside our bodies and will easily become living corpses! "

I couldn't help but ask curiously, What is a living corpse? Is there any difference between it and a Yin Corpse? "

Lin Ziqiang nodded his head and said, Of course it's different, most of the Yin Corpses were artificially refined, they did not have a soul, but this living corpse is different, because after death the soul is trapped in the body, although it's already dead, but it can still be moved, and in terms of danger, it's much less than a Yin Corpse.

With a grave expression, I asked, Are you saying that this custom of the village makes it easy to form a living corpse?

Snowy said, That's right. If you are buried right after death, your soul will be very uneasy. Although you can leave, you won't be able to withstand any external pressure. If you are excited even a little bit, you will easily become a Corpse Transformation and become a live corpse.

Su Jin frowned and said, Since ancient times, our village has always had this kind of custom. To this day, there hasn't been any Corpse Transformation!

Lin Ziqiang sighed and said, This is what I find strange. Graveyard is a place filled with yin aura, and with customs like yours, it's easier to transform into a corpse. But you guys don't have this kind of situation at all, this is a place that doesn't make sense.

I guessed, Do you have other customs that can prevent corpses from transforming?

Su Jin shook her head and said, No, other than the time of burial, there's no difference.

Lin Ziqiang also had a puzzled expression. After a while, he suddenly said, How do you choose your tombs?

Su Jin was stunned for a moment and then said, Our village has ancestral graves. Anyone who dies will be buried in the graves of their ancestors.

Lin Ziqiang nodded his head and said, There is only one explanation, and that is that there is a problem with your ancestor's grave!

Su Jin said in shock, That's impossible. It is said that our ancestral grave was chosen for us a thousand years ago by an expert. It can ensure the safety of our village. How could there be a problem? "

Lin Ziqiang said in a deep voice, Now this is the only explanation. Maybe there is some formation array around the ancestral tomb, which is why we can prevent the Corpse Transformation here!

After Su Jin heard this, she was also silent. After walking over for a while, she softly said, Although I don't want to believe it, I have to admit that what you said is true. Let's go check out the ancestral tomb!

Snowy softly said, It's already so late, should we wait until tomorrow to go?

Lin Ziqiang shook his head and said, There's no time to lose. Tomorrow, there might be more matters to attend to. We'll go now!

Su Jin also stood up and said in a deep voice, Well, I will take you there now. I also want to know what caused this disaster in our village! His tone was also filled with determination and anger.

In fact, I can understand Su Jin's current mood. It was similar to my mood after experiencing the tragedy at Hu Village. Looking at the familiar people around me becoming abnormal one by one, I helplessly died. This feeling of powerlessness caused one to be filled with anger and self-blame.

The night was dark and quiet. Under the dim light of the lantern, Su Jin led us to the ancestral grave. As we walked, they said to us, The ancestral graves of our village are right in front of the village, not far from where we left it. The ancestors said that the ancestral graves of our village have been chosen ever since we established this village, and that the people in this village have been buried here for generations. Nothing ever went wrong.

As we were talking, two lights suddenly lit up in front of us, and then we heard someone shout, What are you guys doing?!

In the middle of the night, someone suddenly shouted, causing us to jump. Lin Ziqiang was startled, he immediately took out his peach wood sword and became fully alert. In Xiao Xue's hand, there were two paper talismans. Come out!

Su Jin was shocked when she heard that and reacted. Seeing how nervous we were, she quickly suppressed the peach wood sword in Lin Zhizun's hand and said in a deep voice, Don't worry, it's someone from our village. Then she shouted towards the distance, Is it Old Chen? I am Su Jin, and am bringing a few masters to prepare for a revival!

Hearing Su Jin's words, the other side suddenly thought of a burst of footsteps, followed by the appearance of two gloomy looking men. One of them suspiciously said, It's so late, what are you guys preparing for? Can't we do it tomorrow? Could it be that he wants to escape?

After talking about escaping, the two of them glared fiercely at us. Su Jin immediately said, Nonsense, master is helping us, what do you mean by running?

The two of them looked at each other, then said, What law? You can't do it in the day or in the middle of the night?

He said in a deep voice, This life and death situation is separated by Yin and Yang, the night is yin, the day is yang, and in order to let people be reborn, we have to pay attention to the changes in Yin and Yang. During the day, we have to do things, and at night we have to do things as well. What do you fools know!

Lin Ziqiang was, after all, an official from the Celestial Sect of Wonders, and this act was like that of a master. Plus, no one could tell whether this bullsh * t was real or fake. The two villagers were intimidated. After hesitating, they said, Okay, let's go with you to take a look.

Lin Ziqiang quickly said, My spell is very complex, how can there be an outsider watching it? If you disturb my plans, not only will I be unable to save you, but I will also suffer from the backlash. The consequences will be even worse!

After the two of them heard this, they could not help but hesitate. Su Jin took the opportunity to say, I will also help master with this. You guys can rest assured.

When the two of them heard Su Jin say that, they also helplessly nodded and said, Since Su Jin is with you, then we won't be going.

Watching the two leave, Lin Ziqiang sighed and said, There are still people watching us.

CHAPTER 104 - NOCTURNAL EXPLORATION OF CEMETERIES

Snowy and I were silent after hearing Lin Ziqiang's words. The villagers still did not trust us. If we were unable to find the source of this strange event, we would definitely be sacrificed alive. Thinking of this, he could not help but sigh.

Su Jin also had a serious face as she said in a soft voice, I'm really sorry for the loss. They have already made up their minds and I have no way of persuading them.

I shook my head. I can't blame you for that. You've already helped us a lot!

With a heavy heart, we walked in silence along the way. Su Jin's home wasn't close to the cemetery in Jingling Village. It took us half a day to get there.

It was strange to say that most of the villages' ancestral tombs were built at the back of the village, in other words, in the north, because in ancient times, the north was called Yin, and after a person died, they couldn't bear the intense yang energy. Thus, the tombs were usually built in the north, which was also known as Yin, a place suitable for the living of the dead. However, the cemetery of Jingling Village was in the west of the entire village, which made people puzzled.

Snowy asked curiously, Why is the burial ground of your village in this direction? Is there a story here? "

Su Jin shook her head and said, I don't know either. That's what the older generation passed down. We don't know why.

I didn't know about the location of the grave, so I didn't care. While they were talking, I looked around again. The area of the cemetery was extremely large. There were bulging graves everywhere, some big and some small. Most of them seemed to have been here for a long time, and their heads were covered with grass. There were also a few new graves around him, and the soil around them was still damp.

However, I was puzzled by the fact that there were only a small part of the graves surrounding the cemetery. I pointed to the other half of the graves and asked, Why are there only half of these graves?

Su Jin explained, This is the foundation of life, prepared for the living.

I was alarmed and couldn't help but ask, A grave for the living?

Lin ZIqiang nodded his head and said, That's right. This is actually quite common. Many elders who know that they don't have much time before having their children prepare a grave for them so that they can be at ease in the future.

Su Jin forced a smile and said, You're right, but the foundation of life in our village is not just for the old people!

Lin Ziqiang was stunned for a moment before he asked in puzzlement, What does this mean?

Su Jin explained softly, In our village, as long as a baby is born, the parents of the baby will build a foundation for their child 100 days ago! When the time comes for the child to live for a hundred days, not only will a feast be held, the child's foundation will also be filled with dirt!"

Hearing Su Jin's words, our hearts turned cold. Lin Ziqiang said in horror, What kind of custom is this? Isn't it because we don't want our child to die early?

Su Jin smiled bitterly and said, According to the legend of our village, as long as 100 days before a child is gone, the foundation of life is built and then the yearly sacrifice is made. When the fairy of the underground palace revives, they will also bring the dead to life!

Hearing Su Jin's words, we couldn't help but feel a chill in our hearts. No wonder the villagers weren't surprised when we said we could revive people. They had long accepted it all!

Lin Ziqiang's voice was a little hoarse as he said, The customs in your village are really a bit hard to accept.

Su Jin sighed and said, We've lived here for generations and have never gone out. Even if there's something strange, we've already gotten used to it. Perhaps, we might find the customs outside hard to understand.

Snowy softly said, Let's not talk about this first, we came to the cemetery to find clues and see if there are any traces of spells around.

Hearing this, Su Jin nodded and said, That's right, we have to deal with important matters first.

Lin Ziqiang also knew that now was not the time to talk about this. He immediately stopped talking and took out two paper talismans from his bosom. He tossed one to Snowy and said, Snowy, help me. As he said this, he took out three sticks of incense, flicked it, ignited it, and stuck it in the ground. He then took out his peach wood sword, a paper talisman in one hand and a wooden sword in the other.

Merit golden light slightly opens the dark pond. The true essence of the lotus cap follows the cloud and floats along with the heavy essence of the Thousand Souls, living in the 12th floor. The spirit decree of the 12th floor is to travel freely in heaven!

Snowy took the paper talisman from Lin Zi and imitated Lin Zi Qiang's actions. She pinched her fingers together to make a sword and started chanting together with Lin Zi Qiang.

As the two of them moved, the fragrance on the ground burned faster and faster. As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the three sticks of incense were just finished burning. Snowy and Lin Ziqiang simultaneously threw the paper talismans in their hands into the air, and the peach wood sword in Lin Ziqiang's hands pierced forward rapidly, and the two paper talismans seemed to have been blown away by the wind.

I thought Lin Ziqiang's spell had failed and hastily asked, Did you succeed?

Lin Ziqiang nodded his head and said, It can be considered as a success!

Upon hearing that it was a success, I hastily asked, What's the result?

Lin Ziqiang said uncertainly, This is too normal!

Too normal? Su Jin was puzzled, What do you mean?

Lin Ziqiang looked at Snowy and said, This place is very normal, not only are there no living corpses, there is even no Yin Qi in the cemetery.

I was stunned. You're saying that this place is too normal? Instead, it's abnormal? Are there any traces of experts casting spells nearby? "

Lin ZIqiang shook his head and said, No, not at all. Normally speaking, there is no Miasma in this tomb, it must have been destroyed by an array formation set up by a master, but Xiaoxue and I worked together to check the surroundings, and not a single trace of the technique left behind. That is to say, there is no Miasma here at all!

I puzzledly asked, Could it be that there is some sort of meaning behind this?

Hearing this, Su Jin also understood. Hearing my question, she couldn't help but say, This means that these people are not dead yet!

Impossible! I jumped in fright and cried out, They have already lost their heartbeats for several hours. Even if their brains hadn't died, they still wouldn't be able to survive without the circulation of their blood for such a long period of time. How could these people not have died? After studying medicine for so many years, today's matter has completely overturned my understanding of life. Previously, the Celestial Sect of Wonders used all sorts of methods to get rid of the concept of life and death, but now, the result is simply unacceptable to me.

Xiao Xue also said with a wry smile, If people are really dead, their souls will dissipate, and if they don't turn into ghost, they will turn into yin aura. But there is nothing here, which means that their souls have not disappeared, so they are still in their bodies.

Su Jin sighed, This might be the basis for the saying that the fairy from the underground palace has been reborn.

Lin Ziqiang and Xiaoxue looked at each other, and simultaneously thought of Nalan Yanran in the tomb chamber. There must be some connection between the Silent Mausoleum and the Three Yin Tombs!

At this moment, I also slowly calmed down, but I still didn't want to believe that these people weren't dead yet. Hearing Su Jin's words, I couldn't help but say in a deep voice, I don't believe that these people are still alive!

Lin Ziqiang shook his head and said, We don't believe it either, but what can we do now?

I replied with a deep voice, I don't believe that these people are still alive after digging today's tomb open!

Lin Ziqiang also felt that something was wrong and hastily said to me, Tianyi, I know you won't be able to accept this kind of thing in a short period of time. In fact, we can't accept this either, and we also believe your judgement. These people really don't have any signs of life, even if you dig them out, it will definitely be the same.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Lin Ziqiang advised me, Right now, the most important thing for us to do is to find out the truth about the villagers' deaths, and not just whether these people are dead or not.

After all, this is Su Jin's village's ancestral grave. If I really dug up someone's grave, Su Jin probably wouldn't let me off. Besides, Lin Zi Qiang was right, the main reason for their death is to find out.

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but say to Su Jin, Sorry, I was reckless just now. I didn't think it through enough.

After Su Jin heard what I said, she looked much better and said in a deep voice, It's alright. I also know that you guys are under too much pressure. You won't take these things to heart.

After Su Jin finished speaking, she didn't finish her sentence. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Xiao Xue coughed to break the awkward silence. She said softly: Do you guys think that these people died because of this tomb?

Hearing Snowy's words, we couldn't help but be surprised. Lin Ziqiang asked in a deep voice, Snowy, why do you say that?

Xiao Xue said, Actually, it's just my guess. This cemetery is too abnormal. Perhaps the villagers' deaths were affected by this tomb?

Lin Ziqiang shook his head and said, There are no Yin objects nor spell formations for this purpose. How can it affect the villagers?

Snowy lightly bit her lower lip and hesitantly said, Maybe it's because of the Feng Shui problems in the cemetery?

Impossible. Lin Ziqiang continued: If there really was a problem with the distribution of water, then the villagers would have been like this a long time ago. They wouldn't have waited until now.

Snowy was speechless for a moment. Lin Ziqiang was silent for a while before he said softly, We can't find any clues here anymore. Let's go back first.

Su Jin sighed and said softly, That's true. Let's go back first. It's a waste of time staying here.

The rest of us walked back in silence. We had originally come with hope, but in the blink of an eye, our last hope was shattered. I felt as if the village had swallowed us up like a bottomless abyss.

Unable to find any clues to the problem, our moods were heavy. Thinking that the villagers might come and question us tomorrow, I felt a burst of frustration in my heart and could not help but sigh heavily.

Snowy saw that I was not in a good mood and gently pulled my hand to comfort me, "Tianyi, you don't have to worry too much. Tomorrow, we might be able to find a solution.

Although I knew that Snowy was comforting me, my heart still warmed. I tightly held Snowy's hand and softly said, "I know that we will definitely find a way to solve this. The things from the future are also hard to say.

I don't know why, but when I said that, I couldn't help but think of General Lan. If General Lan and Lord Zhang were to say it again, we might not be so passive. They would have a way to find out the truth of this matter.

I wonder how they are, if they escaped out of the secret passage. Even though we were dragged into an underground river, I still feel like they won't die there. We'll definitely meet again!

CHAPTER 105 - EERIE DEATH

We didn't have a good rest today, and we were also a bit tired. Su Jin was also physically and mentally exhausted, so she couldn't help but say: It seems like we won't be able to find any clues today, let's go back and have a good rest first, we'll talk about it tomorrow if anything happens.

Since things have gotten to this point, we might as well let nature take its course. Even if we do not sleep, we can't think of a way to solve the problem.

Seeing that we were not in a good mood, Su Jin sighed and comforted, Don't worry too much. We have our own talents, maybe tomorrow …. Before I could finish my sentence, Su Jin's body suddenly stopped. I followed behind Su Jin and nearly bumped into her, stabilizing my body. I couldn't help but ask, What happened? Su Jin, why did you suddenly … Before I could finish, Su Jin waved her hand to interrupt me and whispered, There seems to be something up ahead!"

Hearing Su Jin's words, we were all shocked, is there a monster? Lin Zi Qiang slowly took out his peach wood sword and was ready to attack at any moment. Su Jin lit up the lamp in her hands and with the light, we could vaguely see a black thing lying on the ground, motionless. We carefully walked forward and Su Jin suddenly shouted, What's over there!

Su Jin's words were useless. That thing was still motionless on the ground, causing us to feel even more nervous.

We carefully walked forward, and when we got closer, we realized that this dark thing was actually a person. It hugged its legs tightly, and its face was buried in the middle of its knees. It was like a baby in its mother's womb.

Su Jin carefully walked up and nudged the person on the ground with her toes. She shouted, Wake up! Hurry and wake up!

Who knew that the person on the ground didn't react at all. He was still lying on the ground without moving. Su Jin increased her strength and yelled again. This person was still motionless.

At this moment, we also felt that something was wrong. We couldn't help but say to Su Jin, This person can't be dead, right?

Su Jin's face did not look good either. This person did not smell of alcohol, and it was not like she was drunk. If she was sleeping normally, she would not be able to wake him up.

When I saw this person's face, I felt that it was a little familiar. Su Jin was also surprised to see this person and couldn't help but call out: Old Chen?

Hearing Su Jin's words, I also remembered, isn't this one of the two people who stopped me? I anxiously asked, What happened to him?

Su Jin hesitated for a moment before she took a breath of air. Then, her expression changed and she quickly put her hand on Old Chen's carotid artery. With an ashen face, she said, Old Chen is dead!

When Su Jin examined the carotid artery just now, I had a bad feeling. As expected, this Old Chen has already died. Hearing this, Snowy was shocked and she exclaimed, We saw that he was fine before, how did he die?

I squatted down and carefully examined my body. As expected, it was exactly the same as the child from before. I solemnly said, It's exactly the same as the child today. There aren't any external causes of death!

Su Jin quickly asked, When did he die? We've only been to the cemetery for about two hours, how could we have died so suddenly?

I hesitated before I helplessly said, Based on the previous child's death, the time of death was inconclusive!

Snowy asked curiously, You've studied medicine for so many years, how can you not know when you will die?

I helplessly explained, The child from before must have died over four hours ago. Under normal circumstances, the child should have had his pupils dilate and his body temperature drop to room temperature, and his muscles should have been stiff by now, his blood should have started to precipitate, and he should have started to show corpse spots. However, the child has no other symptoms other than the dilatation of his pupils and the decrease of his body temperature, so the time of death cannot be determined. This person should be the same as the child. I can't be sure of the time of death at all. Who knows, he might have already died when he saw us. "

Su Jin said with a puzzled expression, That's impossible. How can you talk to us after you die?

I disagreed in my heart. Nalan Yanran and Heavencraft had been dead for so many years, yet they were still able to communicate with us, let alone this person who had not been dead for long. However, I was unable to say these words out loud. Could something have happened? "

Su Jin's expression changed and said in a deep voice, Maybe something really happened!

Before he could finish his sentence, he heard Lin Ziqiang's voice, There's no need to guess, this person is already dead!

Startled, we looked into the woods and saw him standing by a house not far from ours, pointing to the door, talking to us.

It turns out that when we found Old Chen's body, Lin Ziqiang felt that something was wrong. He looked around and didn't expect to find the other person who died in front of the door.

Hearing Lin Ziqiang's words, we also quickly ran over. Sure enough, this person's death was exactly the same as Old Chen's. Su Jin's face was filled with shock as she said in a daze, How could it be like this!? How could this be!?

Lin Ziqiang's face was grave as well. Looking at the two corpses, he said in a deep voice, Were these two among the people who were out on a night stroll last night?

I looked at Snowy and shook my head at the same time. There were so many people at that time, so we didn't know each other. We didn't even remember if there were those two.

At this moment, Su Jin still had a look of disbelief on her face. She did not see Lin Ziqiang staring at him, and Lin Ziqiang helplessly asked, Brother Su, do you still remember if these two people were among the people that went out last night?

Hearing Lin Ziqiang's words, Su Jin finally reacted. After thinking for a long time, she pointed to the corpse on the ground and said in a deep voice, At that time, he was in the Night Walk, but Old Chen was not there.

Hearing Su Jin's words, our faces couldn't help but change. The people who died in the day were all people who went out yesterday, but Old Chen was fine yesterday. He still died here today.

After thinking about it, I said seriously, It seems that the range of this corpse has expanded. I don't know if there are any other deaths.

Lin Ziqiang said in a deep voice, I have a nagging feeling that tonight's death will not be limited to just these two!

Su Jin's face turned pale and exclaimed, Could it be that there's someone else?

Lin Ziqiang said in a deep voice, The location of their deaths is not far away, and there are no signs of running. They must have both died very suddenly and without a sound, so no one except us knows. If the others were to die, they would probably die the same way as these two. We don't know either, moreover …"

Lin Ziqiang looked around and continued, Moreover, the villagers do not have any good feelings towards us. It's better to inform everyone of the deaths of these two as soon as possible.

Su Jin went silent for a moment and then said, You're right, I will gather everyone now!

Su Jin walked in circles around the village for two minutes, then pointed at the courtyard that was slightly taller than the surrounding houses and said, This is the ancestral hall of our village, and there is a bell used for offering sacrifices. If anything happens to the village, we will ring it and gather everyone here.

In the courtyard there was a large bronze bell, about one meter tall, which hung on a wooden shelf. By the light of the lamp, we could vaguely see that the clock was covered with strange patterns, similar to the patterns on the path of rebirth in the tomb.

Su Jin didn't delay and didn't say anything. She hit the big bell directly. The bell sound was a bit hoarse, but it wasn't as crisp and clear as one would imagine. However, this silent night was indeed very far away.

Su Jin knocked for a dozen times before letting go of Zhong Dang. She said while gasping for breath, "This bell will only ring when there are major events in our village. After so many years, it has
