Chapter 143 The Ghost Village Disappears
"We...what's wrong with us?"
"It's a curse, a curse from the Moon God!!!"
"Are we all going to die..."
Every young man showed a look of horror.
The old village chief didn't stand up, so Lin Xiyue said, "Don't worry, I will send them to reincarnation."
As he spoke, he helped the old village chief up.
The old village chief was originally in his sixties or seventies, but now he seemed to have suddenly aged ten years, with his back becoming much more hunched.
But he seemed to feel a little relieved. He was really tired of carrying this secret and guarding this village that shouldn't exist all these years.
The evil creature has been harming the villagers time and again since it reached an agreement with him, but he was powerless to do anything about it. Now that someone can deal with it, it can be considered a kind of relief.
"Thank you, thank you." The old village chief patted the back of Lin Xiyue's hand with his rough fingers, but he didn't dare to look at anyone with his red eyes.
He turned and walked towards his house without even glancing at the villagers who were calling out to him.
Everyone couldn't help but shout for the village chief, but he didn't respond at all.
A little kid suddenly rushed out from the crowd and grabbed his sleeve, "Grandpa, where are you going..."
His hand passed through the old village chief's arm but didn't grab anything.
The old village chief paused, looked down at the child who was only three or four years old, and said in a hoarse voice, "Grandpa, we are going to a very far place..."
The child's eyes were naive and ignorant. "Will grandpa come back? What should I do if I miss him?"
The old village chief touched the child's increasingly illusory head, did not answer, and slowly walked towards the house in the distance.
The moonlight stretched his shadow very long.
Perhaps because he didn't want to see the villagers leave one by one, the old village chief chose this way to say goodbye to everyone.
Lin Xiyue stood there and explained the whole story to the villagers.
All the villagers now knew that they had died more than 20 years ago, and it was because the old village chief had used an ancient formation to preserve their souls so that they could not be peeped into by the outside world that everyone was able to live in this place as if they were alive for so many years.
The so-called Moon God is just a spirit in the water, not a real god.
The old village chief was able to set up such a large formation by himself because of the help of this monster.
Now that the monster was destroyed, the formation was naturally broken, and the true faces of the ghosts in the village gradually revealed.
Perhaps because they have stayed in this world for too long, all the ghosts looked extremely weak, as if they would fall apart with the slightest poke.
No one could believe that they were dead.
But the phantom body's feet floating in the air told them that this was reality.
Some people were very angry. They were living well in this place. If these people had not suddenly interrupted the Moon Goddess ceremony recently, they would not have discovered that they were dead.
No one in this world wants to die, and no one wants to leave their loved ones and reincarnate.
"As ghosts, staying in this world for more than 20 years is already your limit. Even though the terrain here is extremely yin, after a long time, your souls will still be burned by the yang energy in the yang world. One day, you will either lose your mind due to weakness and become an idiot, or turn into a fierce ghost and die."
"The Moon God you are waiting for has become increasingly powerful as it has been nourished by your Yin energy over the years. It is evil in nature. Once it has enough power, it will devour the souls of all of you without hesitation."
The village holds a Moon Goddess Celebration every year to offer flesh and blood to the monster.
But at first they were just some chickens, ducks, cows and sheep. Now, the monster is no longer satisfied with this.
It has been threatening the old village chief, offering the ghosts in the village to him, and has even secretly harmed the lives of the ghosts in the village and eaten the ghosts of several villagers.
The village chief's ability was not enough to suppress the monster. In order to prevent it from continuing to harm the villagers, the village chief sacrificed Xu Tiancheng and several others who broke in to the so-called Moon God.
But the village chief also knew that the monster was becoming more and more powerful, and one day it would be out of his control and would eat everyone in the village.
Now, finally, there was a man who jumped out and killed the monster directly. That man was far ahead of him, and a stone in his heart finally fell away.
If he could send these villagers to reincarnation, his life would be free of worries.
The old village chief sat in his house and poured himself a cup of tea.
The tea tasted a little bitter at first, and a hot and spicy taste hit his throat, but he was already accustomed to the taste and just squinted his eyes as he savored it slowly.
At this moment, a slender figure suddenly walked in from the door.
The village chief opened his eyes and could only see a dark shadow of the man in the darkness.
But he still recognized who this person was at a glance.
"It turns out that you didn't lose your memory at all." The old village chief laughed at himself, "Then why did you stay here these days?"
The man sat down in the chair next to the village chief.
She also poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and then said slowly, "Village Chief, have you heard of Sun Moon Village?"
The person's eyes were staring straight at the village chief. Even in such a dark environment, the village chief could still feel her burning and sharp gaze.
The village chief shook his head and said, "I haven't been out of this village for more than 20 years. How would I know?"
The voice smiled, as if mocking itself. "When I first saw your situation, I thought I had found it... At that time, I was just wondering, since these villagers will not age, why is it that only the village chief is gradually getting older? It turns out that those people are not alive, and the village chief is the only living person in this village."
After she finished speaking, she drank the tea in the cup, coughed uncomfortably, turned around and walked out of the room.
The village chief's questioning voice came from behind, "Girl, why are you looking for that village?"
The sound paused, and was carried into the house by the breeze, gradually drifting away.
"Sun and Moon Village, where day and night rotate and life never ends, is the dreamland of mortals."
After Lin Xiyue sent all the villagers into reincarnation, they returned to the old village chief's house.
At this time, the village chief was still sitting in the house, and he had finished his pot of tea.
He was just about to get up to fetch some tea when he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
The formation was broken, which had a huge impact on him.
Because this formation was originally designed with himself as the centerpiece.
Feeling the vitality in his body gradually disappearing, the old village chief sat back in his chair.
It seems that he won't be able to drink the last pot of tea.
Well, let's leave it at that. There is no regret in life, and many things do not have to be completed.
