I was startled and quickly pulled Liu Shan back, but at this moment Liu Shan was struggling desperately to jump into the well as if he was possessed by an evil spirit.
I had no choice but to knock Liu Shan unconscious again, drag him far away from the well, and then return to the well.
Only then did I notice that there was a coffin in the well.
The coffin was hung upside down by an iron chain. At first glance, the black air on the coffin was very strong, and the sound that seemed to have some kind of magic power seemed to come from inside the coffin.
The closer I got, the clearer the sound became. Even though I was protected by a golden light spell, there was still some impulse in my heart under this sound, and this impulse made me want to jump.
I endured it and tried to pull the chain.
However, what I didn't expect was that I just pulled it gently, and the whole coffin was easily pulled up by me. It felt more like something was holding it from below. When I pulled it, it happened to be smooth.
Just pushed it up.
But the moment the coffin landed, it still felt like a heavy object hitting the ground. There was a "bang" sound that stirred up dust. I subconsciously looked into the well. This sight made my scalp numb instantly.
Even in the dark of night, I could still clearly see that the entire well seemed to be filled with skeletons, and the coffin hanging upside down was pressing on the skeletons. At this time, there were streaks of mist on the skeletons.
Usually a floating shadow.
That is a soul.
There are souls who have been here for who knows how long, but are always trapped inside.
And the reason why I can pull the coffin so easily is probably because of them.
Sure enough, at this moment, I suddenly heard another painful wail, which came from the well, as if it was praying.
They are begging me, begging me to help them leave.
I couldn't help but take a deep breath.
To fill a well, how many people would have to die in it?
And if nothing unexpected happened, they should have been dead for a long time. Wang Shouyi and Boss Zhang were not the ones who killed them. Doesn't that mean they might have been killed by the owner of this house?
Before coming here, through Liu Shan's inquiries, I already knew that this house was built by a man who had been admitted to the imperial examination and retired here to live in seclusion.
But not long after, he also died inexplicably.
Now it seems that he did not die inexplicably, but for some reason... and this reason may be related to what Wang Shouyi and others said can make them immortals?
I subconsciously looked at the coffin.
Soon a line of words on the coffin attracted my attention.
Those words are not the handwriting of this era, but under the guidance of the old madman, I am not unfamiliar with these words. They are almost the same as the fonts on the Theosophy.
"Xu Dahai, the flower scout of Xujia Village, wants to live forever and become an immortal. Now he uses himself as the basis for immortality. He offers thousands of flesh and blood to ask the city god to grant him immortality. He will be reborn in a hundred years and become an immortal from now on!"
Looking at this paragraph, I didn't know what to say for a while.
From this passage, I can already confirm that the person in this coffin should be the owner of this house, and he did not die inexplicably back then, but sent himself into this coffin in order to become an immortal.
And in this well, if nothing else happens, there should be thousands of innocent people.
This is not the most important thing.
The most important thing is the word "City God".
In other words, this Tanhua Lang named Xu Dahai must have received some guidance from the City God before he did such things.
But even if he was guided by the City God, why did he still kill thousands of people?
Is this also one of the City God’s guidelines?
Thinking of this, my eyelids twitched.
Previously in Naxiawei Village, the city god killed Xu Er's family in order to obtain an immortal body. He wanted to refine Xu Er and his daughter into immortal bones, so that the corpse could be resurrected.
From this point we can see that these so-called city gods are not what the world thinks. They are not true 'gods', and they do not really want to protect the people.
They can also do some harmful things for their own selfish reasons.
Li Bowen made this clear when he killed the city god of Xiawei Village.
Does this also mean that a hundred years ago, the living earthly immortal of Fenling Village massacred the City God because of something the original Fenling Village City God did?
So does it also mean.
City God...
I dare not continue to think about it, because the more I think about it, the more incredible I feel, because it almost overturns all my previous perceptions, including what the old smoker said to me before.
The city god clicks the mao button, and the village guards are chosen by the city god.
The duty of the village guardian is to protect the people of the village on behalf of the city god.
But after I came out of Niang'er Village, everything I experienced seemed to tell me that this was a lie, and that the City God was not protecting the people at all.
They are hypocritical and even cruel.
It’s just that I don’t think a long-time smoker wouldn’t know these things.
But it was the old smoker who told me about City God’s Dianmao.
So, are there any other secrets in this?
After taking a deep breath, I calmed down, and then directly pushed the coffin lid open. At the same time, a white skeleton was exposed in front of me, and there was a red sticker on the skull of the white skeleton.
Weird talisman.
Under the talisman, I saw a black shadow.
It is a soul.
It was as if it was sealed by that weird red talisman, trapped inside this white bone and unable to leave.
And that alluring call seemed to come from that soul.
Is he the soul of Xu Dahai, the man who explored the beauty?
I looked at the soul, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out and tore off the strange red talisman.
The moment the talisman was torn off by me, the soul rushed out directly from the bones.
Soon I heard a cry, the voice full of unwillingness and resentment.
"The city god lied to me..."
But as soon as the sound appeared, the red talisman in my hand suddenly broke away from my hand, and then fell directly on the soul.
In an instant, the soul turned into mist and dispersed.
And the talisman also disappeared.
This moment just happened in the blink of an eye, and I didn't even have time to react.
I could only vaguely feel that the red talisman seemed to have a power that felt very familiar to me.
The power of the City God!
My eyes couldn't help but narrow.
I was in Xiawei Village at that time.
The feeling that the City God gave me was very similar to the feeling this talisman gave me.
