Chapter 792: Destiny cannot be violated

At this moment, the dim house was completely silent, with only the smoke pot in the hand of Master Xu flickering.

I squinted my eyes and stared at Master Xu, my right hand had quietly raised and pressed on the Miao Dao at my waist.

As for Master Xu, he was only slightly stunned, but then he started coughing violently.

He coughed for several minutes, and his fat body trembled. Even the fat meat lying flat on the bed had waves all over it. It looked extremely greasy.

"Huff, huff, huff..." Master Xu stopped coughing and then curled up his body, gasping violently. After a long while, he let out a long breath and said, "My body is almost reaching its limit. I will have to report to Prince Yan soon."

At this point, he shook his head with a wry smile, then looked at me and continued, "I did agree to one condition of the Soul-Guiding Old Man, and I did promise him to help the Evil Celestial Elephant to refine a substitute puppet, but..."

He paused here, brought the cigarette pot in front of his mouth, and inhaled hard.

Seeing this, I asked hurriedly: "But what?"

"But, I used a little trick to seal the souls of all the villagers permanently in the flesh. Hehe, you know, in order to sacrifice a substitute puppet, it must be an ownerless body, but the souls of these villagers are sealed in the flesh, so for him, these villagers are useless."

"Then what about these villagers' strange diseases?" I continued to ask.

"There is no strange disease. It's just that evil spirits have entered the body. Although I agreed to the soul-guiding old man's conditions, I actually did this for the good of these villagers. They are all surnamed Xu, and they are all branches of my Xu family. How can I watch them suffer from the evil spirits every day?" Old Master Xu took a deep breath and continued, "Moreover, these villagers must die."

"Must die? What do you mean?" I was confused by what Old Master Xu said.

What exactly does this person mean? Why does he say that he is saving these villagers, and then say that they must die?

Grandpa Xu did not answer my question, but just looked at me and asked: "Something must have happened in your village."

I was shocked when I heard that, and then said in a deep voice: "You mean... someone will use the souls of the villagers to awaken the terracotta warriors in the ancient tomb?"

At the beginning, our village was set up with a fatal feng shui bureau called Yanwang Tomb. Its purpose was to sacrifice the blood souls of our villagers to awaken the terracotta warriors in the ancient tomb in the back mountain and the existence sleeping in the coffin.

Could it be that not only our village, but also this Xu Village, may also have such a thing happen, and then it was calculated by Grandpa Xu?

And the reason why he sealed the souls of these villagers in the flesh forever is not only to prevent Xie Tianxiang and his apprentice from sacrificing substitute puppets, but also to prevent someone from setting up a fatal feng shui plan, sacrificing blood souls, and awakening the terracotta warriors in the ancient tomb? Oh

my god, if this is really the case, then what Master Xu did can be said to be killing two birds with one stone. It's just a pity for these villagers, who have become the victims of the game of several parties.

He seemed to see what I was thinking, and immediately smiled and said: "The purpose of our Xu family's existence is to protect this ancient tomb. Now, we have been guarding it for more than a thousand years. Seeing that the end is approaching, how can we have an accident at this last juncture? By then, I am afraid I will be speechless in front of my ancestors."

"So you let all the villagers commit suicide?" I asked in a deep voice.

"Haha, what's wrong with not committing suicide? Are you going to live like a ghost every day? It's better to be like this now. At least, you don't have to endure pain every day."

He paused here, then looked at me and said, "Boy, I have made countless divinations in my life and revealed too many secrets. However, I still have one divination left. Should I give it to you?"

After hearing what he said, I was slightly tempted, but then shook my head.

There is an old saying that goes, a person's fate is determined by heaven. Even if you know the good and bad fortune in advance, what can you do?

As the saying goes, you can avoid the first day, but you can't avoid the fifteenth day.

Moreover, the more you calculate your fate, the thinner it becomes. Knowing more will not benefit you.

However, he just said that the protection of the ancient tomb has reached the final stage. What does this mean?

Does it mean that the terracotta warriors in the ancient tomb will revive on their own soon?

At this moment, I suddenly remembered a sentence that Wu'an Hou, the God of Killing, Bai Qi, once said to the flying zombie Meng Tian.

Bai Qi said that Meng Tian was awakened by Zhao Gao two years in advance, which means that Meng Tian's normal awakening time should be two years later. Combined with Bai Qi's question about whether Meng Tian participated in Zhao Gao's awakening of Li Xin, who was sleeping in the ancient tomb behind our village, it can be judged that Meng Tian's real awakening time should be last year.

And if we count from last year, two years later will be the year I turned 20.

My protector Ji Wushuang once said that he and his sister would come to me in person on my twentieth birthday...

"Could it be that everything will be revealed on my twentieth birthday? All the plots, the calculations spanning several centuries, will come to an end when I am twenty years old?"

"But... who is the person behind the plot? Why let the four of us fight each other, and what will happen to the person who survives?"

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through my mind, but these thoughts were like thread ends, too tangled, and I felt like I couldn't cut them off or sort them out.

"I still know too little." I took a deep breath, then shook my head and stopped thinking about it. Instead, I looked at Master Xu and asked, "Is Xie Tianxiang in the village?"

"Haha, I don't know about this, and... the battle of the Four Symbols does not allow anyone to intentionally participate or addict others, so even if I know, I can't tell you." Old Master Xu squirmed his body, slightly changed to a more restrained posture, and then continued: "But don't worry, the Soul-Guiding Old Man has left our village for a long time, and the Evil Sky Symbol has been kept by him all these years. In this respect, he is actually very similar to your master. Oh, I can't say he is your master, but your master of the Four Sky-Stealing Symbols. In fact, he treats you in this way."

After hearing what Old Master Xu said, I was silent, because he was right. Since the incident in our village, my master has only shown up once, and he didn't say anything substantive to me. He just gave me a few simple instructions, and then let Hu Zi take me away in a hurry.

Now that I think about it, Master does seem to be trying to avoid me.

But why?

"You must be confused, right?" Old Master Xu laughed, "Because you have the fate of Tianshe, you are born to be unlucky with your teacher, friends, wife, and children. What you said about Tianshe entering your fate can save you from the final bitter fruit, but it is actually not true. Although you did not suffer this bitter fruit, it was transferred to others. As the saying goes, destiny cannot be violated. If you don't want to bear this bitter fruit, then you need others to bear it for you, and the people who bear it are those who are closest to you."
