Chapter 63: The Truth
The villagers saw the densely packed ghosts of women in the lake. Some people screamed and fled from the lake quickly, while some people's legs were so frightened that they fell to the ground. The village chief and his mother were stunned. A female ghost approached them and smiled sadly.
The village chief's mother recognized her, "Are you Xiaoqin? Why are you here? Dad said you have become pure again and are qualified to die."
The female ghost issued The shrill laughter scared the mother and son back on the ground, "I have been staying at the bottom of the dirty lake, but there are many sisters here, look."
The female ghost walked toward the lake With one finger, the female ghosts in the lake all looked at the two of them and grinned at them. The village chief and the old mother almost lost their minds.
"Sister, when you were pregnant that year, I gave you a child to replace your original one. How about the child I gave you? Isn't it particularly beautiful?" A female ghost named Xiaoqin said Face proud.
"It's you, you actually killed my original child and gave birth to this monster! What kind of life have I lived in the past ten years?" The village chief's mother shouted at the top of her lungs while crying. Yelled, looking a little broken.
"Hahaha, what kind of life did you live? Have you ever thought about the life I lived? I couldn't break free at the bottom of the cold lake. I was so hungry every day. Sister, you didn't come to see me. "Xiao Qin said while reaching out to her, as if to pull the flesh from her body.
The village chief's mother defended herself in fear, "No, it's not my fault. I didn't harm you, nor did I push you into the lake."
"Yes, you just watched Well, so I just wanted to kill the culprit and gave you a gift.”
"You killed my husband?"
"Shouldn't he die? And I can only kill him, no one else can, of course I have to attack him. I was so hungry at that time, and your husband just happened to I was washing my hands by the lake and I found out that I could eat him. I was so happy at the time! Then I couldn’t find anything to eat.”
Xiao Qin looked regretful and went to the village chief. It floated away, as if trying to see if it could eat him.
“Ah!” The village elder’s wife finally couldn’t bear it any more, so she left him and ran away.
The village chief collapsed on the ground, unable to even utter a curse word. Her mother murmured to herself, "So you are taking revenge on us. You have made me cover up for more than 20 years. The days when her husband and children are disgusted. "
Xiaoqin curled her lips in disdain, "You can't control your husband, so you deserve to be submissive."
Suddenly she seemed to have discovered something interesting. He floated in front of Hanba who was being pulled by Senior Brother Qian, and bent down to look at him, "This is the Hanba that we gave birth to together? Sisters and sisters, come and see, he is so good-looking."
Other female ghosts found themselves in the crowd. Those who had their own relatives also went to scare them. When they heard her cry, they all came to see this born drought demon and praised:
"He is so good-looking."
"Eh? He is actually born prematurely. I wonder if he can avenge us?"
"If we can't take revenge, what should we do? I hate it so much!"
"I hate it so much!" The female ghosts in the lake seemed to be infected with despair at the same time, and they all cried this sentence , the ghost sound shook the sky.
The villagers by the lake were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
At this time, a villager helped an old man from the tribe over. He struck the empty space in front of him with his crutch and scolded the female ghosts:
"You women are inherently unclean. You are lucky enough to have gone through the purification ceremony. You should leave. How can you stay and harm your fellow humans? What a sin!"
After saying this, he hit him again, and the ghosts seemed to He was attacked and pushed back into the lake by a force, unable to escape from the lake.
When Tang Yue heard the clan elder's words, he frowned unhappily, "Their resentment after being victimized was too great, and it gradually accumulated. They were tied up in the lake and couldn't leave at all."
The clan elder was disdainful, "Obviously we are here to help them regain their clean bodies, so it's okay to be ungrateful. Why do we resent the village? We deserve to not be reincarnated."
After hearing this, the female ghosts all shouted out one after another. The cry of unwillingness was extremely sad.
Some villagers breathed a sigh of relief. The elders still had a solution.
Duan Yitang secretly asked Tang Yue, "Is this old man a monk? Why can't I tell."
Tang Yue shook his head, "No, he is just an ordinary stubborn old man with deep-rooted prejudices and obsessions. Power." She had read about such things in travel books.
She took a step forward and said to the old man: "It's your fault. These women were harmed and they were the victims. You didn't dare to blame the perpetrators. Instead, you vented your fear and resentment on them. On them."
The clan leader puffed his beard and glared, regardless of her status as a monk, "What do you know, little girl? Only women who will abide by women's ways will bring disasters."
Tang Yue shook his head, "No, it's really you who are wrong, including your ancestors, who have been wrong for hundreds of years. God has never set such a rule. It is the people in your village who have taken it upon themselves to kill innocent people indiscriminately. "
She did not give the clan elders a chance to refute, "I have been fortunate enough to have been to the Heavenly Court, and to the Holy Mother Yuanjun. Everyone is listening, and she gave me a golden book.”
She took out a shining golden book. This book was really given to her by the Holy Mother, but the content inside was full of anecdotes from the fairy world. The things were not exercises. The Holy Mother saw that she was interested in these things, so she gave them to her. The villagers couldn't tell whether the book was a fairy or not. The light was so bright that they couldn't look directly at it. The ghosts in the lake even avoided its light and hid at the bottom of the lake. They thought it was something extraordinary.
“There has never been such a rule in heaven, and there has never been a practice of harshly blaming the victim.”
“Actually, you require women to remain chaste just to ensure that they give birth to children. The offspring belong to the husband, and it does not mean that a woman will become unlucky after being humiliated.”
The clan elder looked strange. This was the first time he heard such a statement, "Absurd! Nonsense!"
"There is no other reason. Your stubborn ignorance has killed so many women in the past few hundred years. , Now this monster is God’s punishment for you, sent to punish you, the descendants of sinners.” She pointed at Tian Hanba.
The clan elder looked at the ugly monster with a look of disbelief, "How could God punish us?"
Tang Yue only took out the golden book for a while and then took it back. , the female ghost at the bottom of the lake floated upstairs again, the clan elder's belief was shaken, and the invisible force that prevented them from landing disappeared.
The female ghosts floated to the shore again, and they were all curious. It turned out that the children born from their Yin Qi were actually punishments sent by God, rather than being born by themselves through all their efforts.
Tang Yue: Haha, she just made it up casually. Who knows what the original situation of this village was, and whether the resentment could be so strong that the heaven would feel it.
"It was your ancestors and you who indiscriminately killed innocent women in the same village and mutilated your own relatives. Such an ugly and horrific human tragedy made heaven angry and punished Cun Zhang's mother to give birth to Hanba. From then on Your village will become increasingly dry, and all of you will be buried in sandstorms and will never be reborn."
The faces of the clan elder and village chief changed. The village has indeed been a lot dryer in the past few days, and it should have been. It was a rainy season, but not a single rain fell. The weeds were withered and yellow, and the crops in the fields withered due to lack of water.
In the next moment, the clan elder’s face became fierce again, “Since this monster is the cause of the drought, kill it. We are doing our best for the village, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it! Those women deserve to die!”< br>
Chi He sighed softly.
In an instant, the world distorted like water waves, and the surrounding scene changed. The villagers were no longer just people lying limp on the ground.
Now the villagers had a completely different look. Everyone stood by the lake indignantly. Dozens of people in front carried pig cages with more than a dozen women in them.
"Sink these unclean people!" the villagers shouted together.
Murong Hai couldn't stand it any longer, so he used spiritual power on his throat and shouted to the villagers: "These women are victims. As fellow villagers, you should help them. Why should the victims be guilty? In order to ensure that the offspring is your own?”
The monks have various means to check whether the child is their own, so they don’t value women’s chastity so much. Mortals are different. They can only use this kind of ignorant method. way to gain a sense of certainty.
The villagers were suddenly shocked by such a loud voice, and the content was very crude. How could it be more direct than the mountain villagers like them?
Some villagers were not happy to be said like this, "It is not only because of the ancestral rules, but also for the reputation of the women in our village. Because of this rule, the women in our village marry very well."< br>
Tang Yue sneered, "Is there someone willing to marry into your village?"
The man didn't say anything, and the villagers also began to think, as if women outside were really unwilling to join in. Sometimes They have to use some strong tactics or go to the town to buy someone to get a wife from outside the village.
Suddenly Hu San shouted, knelt on the ground, and murmured: "We are the robbers, and we are not living people!"
The people who were with Hu San were watching a show. When they saw something strange about their elder brother, they all stepped forward and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Hu San looked up at them and made a desperate sound. , "We are not living people, we have been dead a long time ago."
Suddenly, several people were shocked and became as lost as Hu San, "Yes, when we came in we became I saw the robbers and saw the women playing by the lake. I felt itchy and couldn't hold it back..."
Suddenly, he looked frightened, as if he had seen the black and white impermanence of life-threatening seduction. "We left. After arriving at the lake, he was killed by this monster."
Han Bao looked at them with a cold and stern look on his face, and he suddenly broke free from Senior Brother Qian's restraints. Fortunately, he hid quickly.
Its strength suddenly increased greatly, and it swung out a claw, and the attack wave knocked away the villagers by the lake and Hu San and others who were kneeling on the ground. After they fell to the ground, their mouths were full of blood, and they kept vomiting.
Tang Yue and others reacted faster. Murong Hai protected Chi He, Senior Brother Qian pulled up Duan Yitang, and she pulled up Ruan Ying, and they all avoided the attack wave.
Tu Yangxing was hit and fell to the ground, making a miserable sound: "My arm!"
