Chapter 237 Empress of Thousand Corpses
"These evil spirits are probably related to Qianshi Empress."
After Tian Lin finished speaking to brother and sister Zhou Jin, he secretly said something to Zhang Rou.
He did not explain the origin of his guess, but still focused on the family of four below.
"Our Daqi Dynasty is the official title of Shenting, and the people of Daqi are also cared for by the mountain god Hebo. What are you afraid of?"
The old man said firmly: "After dawn, Muramasa will go to the county to find the government. The government's monster hunting department will come to catch this troublesome fox."
He said 'after dawn', the night outside began to change rapidly.
Bright light shone into the small attic from the outside, so that the wind lantern in Zhou Mengjiao's hand was not so bright.
At this time, Tian Lin suddenly saw Zhou Jin taking out the talisman from his storage bag and hitting it behind him.
Tian Lin was shocked. When Zhou Jin typed out the talisman, he slipped and ran to the attic window.
Covered in bright light, a hanging rope hung from the beam above the attic.
There was a woman hanging on the rope, and she was the daughter-in-law of the family of four.
Zhou Jin's talisman hit the 'hanged' woman. The female night wanderer opened her eyes in an instant and pulled the rope around her neck to come down.
Tian Lin and Zhou Jin shook their heads and jumped out of the window first.
Zhou Mengjiao and Zhang Rou followed closely, followed by Zhou Jin who also jumped off the attic and landed in the yard of the farmer's house.
Tian Lin glanced at the yard and said to the three of them: "The well is gone, this is not Yujia Village."
Zhou Jin said in shock: "What power can throw us into the other world without anyone noticing?"
"This is still Yujia Village, but this 'Yujia Village' should be the 'Yujia Village' earlier."
Zhang Rou pointed to the mountains and rivers outside the village. The outlines of those mountains were obviously exactly the same as those outside Yujia Village.
"This should be a dream - we may be in a dream now."
While the four of them were whispering, there was movement in the attic.
A few people hid under the tree next to the house, and soon saw that among the family of four, except for the hanged daughter-in-law, the other three ran out.
As the son of a family of four rang the gong, dozens of villagers soon came running over.
Tian Lin pulled Zhou Jin and pointed at several figures behind the villagers.
Zhou Jin quickly saw Senior Brother Changxue and others among those figures, and Senior Brother Changxue also quickly spotted the four of them.
"This is a dream, and the things in the dream should be what really happened in Yujia Village a long time ago. We are not people in the dream. As long as we don't disturb these 'people' in the dream, they can't see us."
Senior Brother Changxue means that everyone should not be afraid and do not need to evade in a hurry.
"Whose dream is so powerful? All the 'people' in the dream have the cultivation of the Night-Wandering God?"
"I think it should be one of the two gods carried back to the village by Yujiacun."
After Senior Brother Changxue finished speaking, he led Tian Lin and others to watch the 'performance' in the courtyard in a grand manner.
"It's the Fox God's fault again!"
As soon as a villager finished speaking, he was refuted by the old man: "What a fox god? It's clearly a fox demon! It killed my daughter-in-law, I must not let it go."
The old man’s wife cried and scolded her husband:
"It's all your fault. I said it would be best for us to move away, but you refused. Now that your daughter-in-law is dead, is there retribution?"
The old man said angrily: "It wasn't us who killed the fox, it was the little beast from the Zhang family. Even if there is retribution, it should be the little beast from the Zhang family."
After speaking, the old man said to Muramasa: "Muramasa, what do you think we should do about this matter? We must ask the Zhang family for an explanation."
The villager here is a man who is over sixty years old. Before he opens his mouth, a villager next to him also follows:
"Yes, every injustice has its own owner. It was not us who killed the fox, but the little beasts of the Zhang family. Why should retribution fall on us if the Zhang family doesn't kill anyone?"
The angry villagers suddenly left the house and walked to the other side of the village.
Tian Lin and others followed closely and soon arrived outside a simple thatched hut.
The villagers forced open the wooden door of the hut and quickly slipped out a teenage girl with a sallow complexion.
The old man whose daughter-in-law died came forward, slapped the little girl on the face, and asked her: "Little girl from the Zhang family, where is that little beast Zhang Sheng?"
The little girl burst into tears and cried: "Grandpas and uncles, please let my brother go. He doesn't sincerely want to kill the fox. He is really too hungry."
Then an old woman said angrily: "Your family should have starved to death a long time ago, so you have offended the Fox God and made us suffer."
While the woman was talking, she took out a needle and pricked the little girl, causing the little girl to scream in pain.
"If she refuses to hand over the little beast, then take off her clothes."
A woman suggested it, and a group of people started to take action.
The men stood outside, peeking at the scene inside.
But no matter what those women did, the little girl refused to reveal the whereabouts of her brother.
She just said: "My brother said that he only killed ordinary foxes. There is no fox god in this world."
"You little bitch still dares to quibble!" At this time, Muramasa said: "She is right, what she killed was just ordinary little foxes."
As soon as these words came out, the women stopped taking action, and the men's attention was drawn back to the little girl.
"Muramasa, what do you mean by this? It's not the fox god who is causing trouble, so why have so many people hanged themselves in just half a month?"
The old man whose daughter-in-law died looked at Muramasa fiercely and asked Muramasa for an explanation.
Muramasa sighed and said: "It's because everyone drank the water from the pool in the valley——
That water is the Corpse Pond, where too many corpses have been dumped for thousands of years. There are those who deserve to die, there are those who die unjustly, and there are those who die in vain.
Now the resentment remains unresolved, so much so that the water flowing out of it is poisonous. ”
The villagers didn't believe it because everyone drank the water from the pool, so they couldn't believe it.
Moreover, if it is true that the water in the pool is poisonous, it is not the fox god who is causing trouble. So didn't their previous actions wrong the little girl of the Zhang family?
"Is there any basis for what Muramasa said?"
When a villager asked, the village leader replied: "This is what the great monk from the city told me. This great monk is a sacred monk from Xiaoleiyin Temple."
Upon hearing the words "Xiao Leiyin Temple", not only the villagers were shocked, but also Tian Lin and the others looked at each other.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
When Tian Lin was eating Zhou Shoufan's eyeballs from the Wenxin Sect in Yulong Continent, the prompt word suggested that it was the best Thunder Spirit Pill.
The introduction of the top-grade Thunder Spirit Pill shows that this pill is the secret pill of Xiaoleiyin Temple and is used to generate Thunder Spirit Root.
How many pills are there in this world that can generate spiritual roots?
As far as Tian Lin knew, Taoism did not have such a pill.
Tian Lin thought that the Xiaoleiyin Temple in the entry was just a fictitious product of the entry, but now it seems that there is indeed a Xiaoleiyin Temple in the world.
I just don’t know if this Little Leiyin Temple is the Little Leiyin Temple mentioned in the entry.
"Since it was said by the holy monk, it must be true."
The villagers believed in the name of Xiaoleiyin Temple, so they asked Muramasa anxiously: "Where is that sacred monk? Did he tell us how to survive?"
Muramasa said: "The holy monk said that he is just a sweeping monk of Xiaoleiyin Temple. With his cultivation, it is difficult to suppress the resentment of countless people for thousands of years. If you want to survive, you can only use the method of grafting flowers and grafting trees to make those resentments Retribution is only for one person.”
"Who wants to be taken advantage of like that?"
One person spoke, and everyone suddenly followed Muramasa's gaze and looked at the little girl who was beaten before.
The little girl obviously felt their gazes, but at this time she had no strength to struggle.
"Little girl from the Zhang family, the uncles in the village treat your sisters well, right? After your parents died, you even asked everyone to borrow food."
The little girl knew what these people meant, and she shook her head laboriously.
A villager looked stern and said, "If you don't want to go, then let your brother go?"
At the mention of her younger brother, the little girl's eyes widened a bit and she shook her head harder.
The villager asked: "Then you go on behalf of your brother?"
The little girl closed her eyes, obviously acquiescing.
The villagers were overjoyed and said: "You did this voluntarily, we didn't force you."
Seeing her cry, Muramasa coughed dryly and said:
"Don't worry, Nizi. We will help you take care of Zhang Sheng after you die. Doesn't he want to study and go to a martial arts school to become a detective in the Monster Catching Division in the future?
All of us will definitely help you raise money for your brother to study. ”
The little girl opened her eyes and said thank you in a hoarse voice.
The villagers discussed how to invite the sacred monk to perform the ritual. Senior Brother Changxue also told Tian Lin and others:
"Before the place of mass burials became a place of mass burials, there was a Daqi Dynasty here. At that time, there was the mountain god Hebo, and there were also monsters. This kind of sacrifice was common."
Zhang Rou heard this and said: "But if you sacrifice human lives to the mountain god Hebo or monsters, the villagers will be safe, but what will happen to the ordinary people who are sacrificed?"
Everyone said nothing, only listening to Muramasa: "The sacred monk will come over tomorrow, and then ask him to do the practice."
When Muramasa said "tomorrow", the sky changed again.
Everyone has still had the experience of night suddenly turning into day, so they are used to the speed of time in dreams.
When I looked at the village again, it was already full of people.
A fat monk appeared surrounded by villagers. The fat monk looked at the little girl who was tied up and said:
"Carry her to the ancient pool, and I will help you make her into a guardian spirit. As long as you worship her day and night, it will not only help you eliminate the resentment in the pool, but also keep you safe in the future."
The villagers were overjoyed. They first served the fat monk with good wine and meat, and then followed him to the valley.
This is Tian Lin's second time coming to the valley, but the first time he followed the people from Yujia Village, but this time he followed the people in the dream.
At this time, the villagers only saw the fat monk taking out pieces of paper and mumbling words to the ancient pool.
"I sewed thousands of dead souls onto her body, and she endured the bites of thousands of resentful souls for you. You can't be ungrateful, you should build a temple for her, and then find another opportunity to ask the court to grant her a posthumous title - from now on, you Just call her Queen of Thousand Corpses.”
