Chapter 47: Carnivorous (19) The Truth
Qisi went around behind the wooden frame where the memorial tablet was placed. There was no shrine, but a huge yellow talisman with the following words written on it in red pen. The word "town".
Both the village history and the stories told by Su Po said that the ancestral hall was built to worship the god who gave meat, but it seems that this may not be the case now.
【New and old ancestral halls, densely packed memorial tablets, who suppresses their souls? 】
The text on the system interface is cold and strange.
Qisi glanced sideways at the cold sunshine outside the door, grabbed a tablet while no one was paying attention to him, and walked out of the ancestral hall without looking back.
Zhao Feng didn’t know why, but he followed silently.
Killing Yang Yundong was just a momentary evil thought. Now that he calmed down and figured out the twists and turns, he only felt scared.
Everyone with a discerning eye knows that it was him who did it. As long as someone with a heart can work a little bit, he will be the next target.
He was injured and his combat effectiveness was reduced. He might be killed by someone at any time.
He must save himself, that is, bind to Zeiss as soon as possible, and use the responsibility diffusion effect to share the attention of other players.
Qisi had a clear understanding of Zhao Feng's psychology, and immediately ordered: "Zhao Feng, pick up the barrel, let's go back to Granny Su's house."
Zhao Feng, as if he had been pardoned, quickly picked up the bucket in the center of the ancestral hall. Su Po left the barrel there and followed Qisi.
He knew that Qisi confirmed their cooperative relationship in front of everyone, and the situation that he was most worried about being used and thrown away would not happen.
Qisi looked at Zhao Feng’s scared eyes and had no intention of saying more.
Human beings prefer to believe their own inferred logic compared to other people's opinions, even if it is far from the truth.
It was already noon when we returned to Granny Su’s house, and the day was high, illuminating every corner.
Supo and Axi were sitting in the yard, basking in the sun and chatting.
Qisi walked over with a smile and threw the tablet in his arms to the ground. As expected, he saw Su Po's expression change from confusion to horror in a second.
He dragged a chair and sat down, and stated in a very calm tone: "I have just been thinking about the purpose of enshrining those tablets in the ancestral hall if there are no gods enshrined. Now I understand a little bit. The villagers who sold the sacred meat to tourists are also very angry and need to be put into the ancestral hall to suppress it.”
"The disaster in Su's Village was caused by themselves. The greedy villagers deserved to be cursed by the evil god and transformed into ugly monsters."
Speaking of this, Qisi suppressed his smile and showed an attitude of asking for advice humbly. : "It's just that I don't understand. Su Po, you obviously died before God came and had nothing to do with any sins. Why are you stubbornly stuck in this cannibal village?"
Su Po has regained her composure. Staring calmly into Qisi's eyes, he said coldly: "There must be someone in charge of the village. If the ancestral hall is left without my guard, they will run out and not only kill you, but also bring trouble to the entire county!"
Although Zhao Feng was confused by Chiss's analysis, he still stood guard.
Aware that Su Po’s tone was unkind, he grabbed Ah Xi’s collar and said, “Old woman, have a better attitude, or else I’ll throw your grandson into the ancestral hall and see if those ghosts will bite him!”< br>
Qisi glanced at him indifferently, then looked at Su Po again as if he didn't exist: "Tell me all the truth, and I may be able to find a way to solve the problems in your village - of course, it's up to you to believe it or not."< br>
After a moment of pause, he showed a gentle smile: "It's just that if I can't know the truth, I will be so uncomfortable that I want to drag everyone to death. I guess the talisman paper posted in the ancestral hall is very "It's important, what will happen if I tear it up?"
This was said sincerely, not like a random threat at all.
Both the people and the ghosts who heard this had no doubt that Zeis would keep his word.
Zhao Feng, who was holding Ah Xi's neck as a background, was in awe: Should he be said to be from Xila? Sure enough, she was a bit mentally ill as rumored... Su Po didn't dare to bet on Qisi's views, but she was also unwilling to reveal the information easily.
While she was hesitating, she heard the young man in front of her add the final weight to her words: "Maybe I can remind you more clearly, what has He promised you?"
Point to In the final analysis, vague questions are a way of inducing the listener to follow the hint and make associations, making the other party think that the questioner knows a lot of information, and there is no harm in revealing more.
People who know something about psychology will naturally know how to deal with such inducements, but unfortunately, Su Po obviously does not know what psychology is.
After hearing Qisi’s words, this extremely old woman sighed, slumped on the chair like a deflated rubber ball, and spoke eloquently.
...
After their deaths, the ghosts of Su Po and A Xi have been wandering around the village.
They witnessed Su's village survive the famine, use the divine meat to become rich, and mutate in areas as if they were cursed.
Many crimes were performed before our eyes, and emotions of anger, sadness, and resentment came and went, all dissipating in the long years.
Until one day, a Taoist in black came to Su's village.
He wore unfashionable robes, long hair, an unusual face and conversation, and a pair of golden eyes that stood out.
He cast a few miraculous little spells in public, and easily gained the trust of the villagers.
Under the guidance of the Taoist, the villagers rebuilt the ancestral hall, turned the original worship function into a suppressive one, and placed the memorial tablets of the villagers who died in the mutation, and finally slept in peace overnight.
But the Taoist encountered difficulties in dealing with the divine corpse.
He told the villagers: "You are provoking the most cruel and terrifying evil god in the world. He has the same malice towards all living beings. What he likes to do most is to induce humans to commit crimes and watch them commit crimes. Struggling with Original Sin ”
"The matter has come to this, all you can do is atone for your sins and beg for His forgiveness."
The villagers quickly asked how to atone for their sins.
The Taoist replied: "Find a quiet place to place His body, and then collect enough human flesh and blood to complete His body."
The villagers asked: "We have become like this We are no longer human beings, and no tourists have come to our village for a long time. Where can we find human flesh and blood?”
The Taoist looked towards the entrance of the village and said in a judgmental tone: "In three days, eleven passengers will arrive."
The villagers were gearing up, but the Taoist left several rules to restrict them, including the harsh rule that "you cannot kill people and get meat by yourself".
But no one dares to raise objections. They have been tortured by the pain of mutation and the fear of curse for many years. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they will grasp it with fear.
The Taoist sent away the villagers without saying much, then went to Su Po's house alone and stopped by the well.
With a wave of his sleeve, he pulled out the souls of Su Po and A Xi. Two slanted shadows as pale as ink slowly solidified, surrounding him.
This strange outsider looked at the two ghosts, one large and one small, and finally had a smile on his lips.
He said: "You only need to act according to my instructions, and after that, I will resurrect you."
