Chapter 114: The village uses our death to open a road to heaven for you...
The system still remained silent.
Qin Yuqing felt a sense of inexplicable worry in her heart. The system was related to whether she could go home after completing the task. If something went wrong with the system, she didn't know if she could still go home safely.
"System?" Qin Yuqing called out again in his heart without giving up.
[Hello host, the system is being upgraded and services are temporarily unavailable.]
Is this the reason? Qin Yuqing was a little surprised. She didn't expect that this was the reason for the system disconnection, but Qin Yuqing always felt that it couldn't be that simple.
Judging from everything that is happening now, it is too strange. Qin Yuqing knows that the system did not choose him randomly, but has a purpose.
If everything that happened before was not fake, then what is the relationship between the heroine of the original book and myself, and what significance does it have for these time and space.
Qin Yuqing always felt that he had grasped one mystery after another, but when he opened his hands, he found nothing. All the mysteries dissipated in his hands like smoke.
Lu Jingchuan hugged Qin Yuqing distressedly. He patted Qin Yuqing on the back and said, "It's almost over."
Qin Yuqing slowly closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her eyes were full of determination. No matter what happened, she would not give up on the people of Dayin, nor would she give up on returning home.
But something Qin Yuqing didn't expect happened. The village, which should have been infested with maggots, became incredibly quiet. The houses showed no signs of decay, and one could even see warm yellow lights on in every household.
Qin Yuqing glanced at Lord Li and Madam Li, and saw that there was no surprise in their eyes. Instead, Li Muyan had a strange look on his face. He walked to the village entrance, looked inside and said.
“Isn’t it so clean and quiet here?”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and saw Lord Li and Madam Li with puzzled expressions. He touched his face and realized something. He said in a daze, "Did I say something wrong?"
Qin Yuqing held Lu Jingchuan's hand and walked to the front to carefully observe everything in the village. She stretched out her hand but felt a resistance, and then people in the village came out.
They are obviously different from the maggots seen on the river bank. These people are more complete and more like living people, and their movements are more natural and harmonious.
If it weren't for the black lines running across the skin, Qin Yuqing would have doubted that this was a living person.
A strange feeling surged in her heart, and then through the village, she seemed to hear voices from the other side of the village.
At the same time, everyone coming out of the village stopped and looked at the largest carriage without blinking.
Seeing this, Lord Li stepped forward and wanted to say something, but he heard Madam Li's voice coming from the carriage: "Master, there are some things that need to be decided."
Hearing his wife's voice, Lord Li subconsciously said: "But Madam..."
"Sixth Princess, the final step is in this village." As Madam Li spoke, the sound of flesh being pierced was heard again, and then Chuntao lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked down.
"Princess." Chuntao gestured to Qin Yuqing. After seeing Qin Yuqing nod, she walked to the back of the largest carriage and seemed to press something. A simple, not very exquisite wheelchair appeared in front of everyone.
Chuntao carefully picked up the person and gently placed her on the wheelchair. She considerately took the small blanket and covered Mrs. Li's legs, then pushed Mrs. Li to Qin Yuqing's side.
"Madam." Lord Li took the wheelchair with trembling hands and said in a choked voice, "Madam, I am sorry for you."
Madam Li shook her head, looked at Qin Yuqing with a determined gaze and said, "I believe the Sixth Princess has already sensed my connection with this village."
Qin Yuqing did not comment. She looked at Madam Li without saying anything, and gestured for Madam Li to continue.
"The Sixth Princess must be familiar with Yu Bingyan, the young master of the Yu family. The snow maggots on my body are different from the ones the princess has seen." Madam Li stretched out her hand and gently pinched the skin between her fingers.
The next moment, the skin fell off easily, and then countless wriggling black worms crawled out of the skin and crawled towards the village.
Those who walked out of the village suddenly shed black tears, which dripped onto the ground and turned into black, skinny worms.
Qin Yuqing looked at the worms on both sides gathering together. The long worm was probably the mother maggot, and the worms transformed from tears should be the larvae.
I thought it would be a scene of deep affection between mother and son, but the next scene made everyone's eyebrows jump.
The moment the larvae and the mother maggot came into contact, the shriveled and skinny larvae directly wrapped around the mother maggot, and then bursts of strange sounds rang out from the mother maggot.
It sounded like the cry of pain from being bitten, but also like the ambiguous sound between a man and a woman.
What happened next was beyond everyone's expectations once again. The originally entangled mother maggot entangled the brood maggots the next moment and ate all of them at a bizarre speed.
The originally shriveled mother maggot became shiny after devouring all the larvae. Although these snow maggots could not see expressions, Qin Yuqing could still feel the joy in the mother maggot.
Then the female maggot moved towards Madam Li little by little. When it was about to get close to Madam Li, the female maggot stopped and then stood up like a human.
The originally round tops of the two ends suddenly revealed white jagged things, similar to human teeth, but sharper and denser than human teeth.
"Mrs. Li, mother." Snow Maggot's voice was like a child's. "Mother, you are finally willing to come and see us."
Lord Li and Li Muyan subconsciously stood in front of Madam Li.
Lu Jingchuan and Chuntao stood beside Qin Yuqing, with uncontrollable worry in their eyes.
The five people looked at the snow maggots on the ground with disgust in their eyes.
"The snow maggots thrown on me are the first snow maggots and the newest snow maggots." Madam Li patted Lord Li and Li Muyan with her hands respectively, and looked at the snow maggots on the ground angrily.
"Everyone in this village has been infested with maggots. The master noticed something was wrong, but by the time he rushed to the village, it was too late."
Qin Yuqing's eyebrows jumped. She remembered the killer she met in the south before. Li Sui said that Lord Li killed his entire family. Could it be because of this damn snow maggot?
"In order to prevent the maggots from further invading the surrounding villages, my master and I tried countless methods. As long as I was there, the maggots in the village would not die, so in the end, my master only thought of one solution."
Having said that, Madam Li’s voice paused for a moment, pain and self-blame flashed in her eyes, her body unconsciously bent down, and her whole body trembled slightly.
"Massacre the whole village, right?" Qin Yuqing continued, continuing what Madam Li had said. "So you chose to massacre the whole village?"
Madam Li nodded, but then shook her head. "It wasn't a massacre." Madam Li sighed and looked at the villagers with guilt. "They were already dead when we arrived."
"What do you mean?" Qin Yuqing asked.
"When the master and I arrived, their bodies had already been devoured by the maggots and were controlled by them. Only a very small number of children were not controlled by the maggots and managed to escape by chance. If we had not chosen to massacre the village."
Having said that, Madam Li closed her eyes, raised her head again and looked at the people standing in the village, and continued: "These people will pretend to be normal people under the control of the maggots, blend in with the crowd, and control more people."
Qin Yuqing still didn't speak. She looked at the people in the village with a serious look.
What Lord Li said was not wrong. It was indeed the right choice at the time, but these villagers were also innocent.
"So where are they now?" Qin Yuqing didn't dwell on it any more. This question was just an enlarged trolley problem. No matter what choice he made or what action he took, there was no perfect answer.
"They're human, but they're also maggots." Madam Li sighed. She looked at her wrist, then at the villagers. "They could have been freed, but that damned manipulator behind the scenes connected their names to me."
"As long as I don't die, they won't die and live like this half-dead."
As Mrs. Li finished speaking, all the villagers knelt down, kowtowed heavily, and spoke firmly in their broken voices.
"Madam Li, we have lived long enough thanks to your kindness over the years."
Madam Li smiled and nodded, "Indeed, we have lived long enough." After that, Madam Li gestured for Marquis Li to turn his wheelchair, looked at Qin Yuqing and said with a smile, "I have a connection with the village. I can sense anyone who is close to the village."
Hearing this, Qin Yuqing stepped forward with her arms folded. She looked at Madam Li and asked, "Have you made up your mind?"
Madam Li nodded slightly and said with a firm look, "I have made complete plans for coming here this time." As she spoke, Madam Li patted Marquis Li's hand and smiled gently at him.
Lord Li took a deep breath, looked at Li Muyan standing aside with satisfaction and said, "Sixth Princess, I have a humble request."
Qin Yuqing closed her eyes and nodded to Lord Li: "I will."
"Madam, it's time to end this ridiculous farce." Lord Li pushed Madam Li towards the village. Li Muyan, who was standing nearby, instinctively stepped forward, but was held down by Chuntao.
Li Muyan felt a sudden panic in his heart. He couldn't break free from Chuntao's control and shouted at Lord Li and Madam Li: "Dad! Mom! What are you going to do!"
Lord Li and Madam Li looked at Li Muyan gently and said, "Don't act impulsively in the future."
Qin Yuqing took a deep breath, took out a dagger and cut her palm. Blood flowed down her palm, dripping onto the ground, forming strange patterns, and gradually flowed to a place not far away.
At this time, a golden light lit up opposite the village, shooting straight into the sky and breaking through the originally dark clouds.
A lotus appeared on Qin Yuqing's forehead again, her eyes gradually turned golden, a golden light shone from her body, and Qin Yuqing slowly flew into the sky.
The entire village was surrounded by a blood-colored pattern. As Qin Yuqing's figure in the air stabilized, the blood-colored pattern was wrapped in gold and gradually turned golden.
"Use my blood to guide the dead souls." Two different female voices sounded on both sides of the village.
Then Xiaolu and Xiaowu, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared in the air at the same time. The three of them looked at each other in the air, and the ancient voice dropped the last words in the air.
"Cross the River of Oblivion!"
In an instant, golden light enveloped the entire village, and all the villagers looked devoutly at the three people floating in the air.
Lord Li and Madam Li suddenly laughed, and the figures of all the people in the village began to become transparent and blurred.
"Use our death to open a path to heaven for you!"
As these words fell, the village disappeared and an altar appeared in its place.
