When I left the corpse removal village, I didn't relax. Instead, I felt much more stressed than before.
The pressure made me feel out of breath.
It finally made me understand what true loneliness is.
Fortunately, Liu Shan is still there.
Although he gave me a very special feeling.
Not like friends.
Even with Liu Buyi's relationship, it didn't seem that the two of us had a deep communication. He seemed to be just a ferryman, following the instructions of Li Bowen, the old smoker, or others every time I wanted to leave.
Show up at one place and send me to the next place.
When I saw him, he was leaning against the iron knot like every time before, not knowing what he was thinking. When he saw me coming out, he looked at me with a smile and said hello to me.
I have long been accustomed to this, and I just sat on the iron bump.
After he got on the iron knot, I said, "This time, go back to Niang'er Village?"
I originally thought he would answer me decisively, but this time he looked at me with a complicated expression and asked me, "Are you ready?"
"Once you go back, you really can't go back."
I thought for a moment and said, "I always have to go back."
"And isn't this the whole journey you've been doing just for this day?"
Seeing what I said, Liu Shan shrugged and said, "As long as you are ready."
"This is also the last time I will pick you up."
"When you return to Niang'er Village, you can only rely on yourself."
"No more pretending?" I said with a smile: "Didn't you say you are just an ordinary person?"
"Now it seems that you know much more about Niang'er Village than I do."
Liu Shan smiled awkwardly.
"For now, he is indeed an ordinary person."
"but……"
When the words came to his lips, Liu Shan's eyes became a little inexplicable, but the inexplicable color quickly disappeared. After a moment, he smiled again and said: "This time, if you have any questions, you can ask me."
"As long as I know, I can answer you."
"Really?" I was a little surprised.
Liu Shan nodded.
"Absolutely true."
I smiled and said, "Then tell me, what kind of place is Niang'er Village?"
Liu Shan didn't seem surprised by my question. He just pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, I can't give you an accurate answer. After all, I am now..."
"However, I still have some understanding."
I looked at him, but I didn't delve into what he said.
From what I know about him, he will naturally say what he wants to say, and he naturally has his own reasons for saying this.
"Then tell me what you know."
I leaned on my seat and looked out the window.
After a moment, Liu Shan said: "In your eyes, what kind of place do you think Niang'er Village is?"
"A dry village." I said: "From the time I can remember, Niang'er Village is actually a dry village in my eyes. Except for the old madman, there is no one else in the village."
"Even later, when you all appeared in Niang'er Village one after another, I still didn't see anything."
"So I have always had a question in your eyes."
"What does Niang'er Village look like?"
This question is a doubt that has always existed in my heart. Even now, after experiencing the events of Chuma Lineage and Zhanshi Lineage, and after talking to the Lord of Maoshan, I have always had this doubt about Niang'er Village.
Even if I have truly become an Earth Immortal now, I can only vaguely feel that Niang'er Village is special, but that's all.
"What you see is actually the real Niang'er Village." Liu Shan sighed.
"What about you?" I looked at him in confusion.
Liu Shan thought for a moment and said, "What we see is the past."
"The past Niang'er Village."
"In other words, it's a fake girl's village."
"What do you mean?" I couldn't help but frown when I heard this.
"You should already know that there are real gods and real immortals in this world."
"Like those city gods created by Huangquan Road, they are just false gods created by Taishan Prefecture to steal incense. And the living earthly immortals you see are not actually real living earthly immortals. It can be said that they are
False fairy."
I nodded slightly.
This is already clear to me as the Lord of Maoshan.
"What does this have to do with Niang'er Village?"
Liu Shan thought for a while and said: "Whether it is a false god or a false immortal, their existence is actually the chess piece in this game, but when you appear, it is the false god who has the upper hand."
"That's why you showed up."
"You entered this game with yourself as a pawn, but because of this, if you still lose in this game, you will die completely."
"Monarch Taishan is on the stage. He is the real god and the earliest god in charge of death."
"And Niang'er Village is the only place that Taishan Mansion Master cannot control."
"Because there is a road to immortality in Niang'er Village."
"The road to immortality?"
I was stunned for a moment.
The first time I heard the words "ascending to immortality" was in Fenling Village. At that time, the old people in Fenling Village stayed in Fenling Village in order to ascend to immortality with the help of the coffin.
However, it turned out later that the Coffin Suppressor did not have that ability.
The living immortals they think are nothing more than false immortals.
To be precise, he is still a village guard.
But now Liu Shan has mentioned the road to immortality again...
I looked at Liu Shan.
Liu Shan thought for a while and said: "Actually, it is not the road to immortality."
"Immortal, god is actually a very special word. Just like you now, you should be able to feel that you are actually not much different from humans."
I nodded.
"Then Niang'er Village..."
Liu Shan continued to explain: "There are originally two ways in this world."
"One is for the underworld."
"One piece is a fairy."
"The entrance to the underworld is the Dead Soul River. You can enter the underworld by crossing the Naihe Bridge and passing through the Rashomon Gate. The underworld is the destination of most of the dead. In the past, only by entering the underworld could they be eligible to enter reincarnation, unless they could enter another path.
, which is the path to immortality, otherwise you can only become a ghost."
"The road to immortality actually does not mean that you can become an immortal if you have the qualifications to enter that road, but that if you enter the road to immortality, you will be qualified to enter a higher level of reincarnation."
"Reincarnation?" I asked with a frown.
"What is that?"
"Life and death are reincarnation." Liu Shan thought for a moment and said, "If there is life, there will naturally be death, and if there is death, there should naturally be life."
"Life and death complement each other and reincarnation rotates, so the world can be considered to have a certain balance."
"only……"
Liu Shan sighed: "The balance will be broken."
"The underworld is destroyed in this balance, and therefore reincarnation no longer rotates, so there are many more ghosts in the world. You should be able to feel this."
"In this matter, Lord Taishan, as the Lord of the Underworld, believes that if the previous balance can be destroyed, then it is not the best choice."
"If the human world and the underworld are reversed and a new underworld is established, it may be possible to make reincarnation turn again."
