The way down the mountain was much calmer than I expected.
Walking all the way down the mountain, not only did I not encounter any danger, but even the abnormal coldness disappeared without a trace. I'm not sure whether it was because I was carrying the remains of the City God on my back or something else. All in all, it went smoothly all the way down.
Although when I went up the mountain, I didn't experience the danger of nine deaths that Uncle Gui said.
But if you think carefully, if nothing unexpected happens, it's just because Uncle Ghost is here.
When I returned to Fengling Village again, my mood became a little complicated.
Although Fengling Village was deserted when we went up the mountain, there were still twenty or thirty people in total including this old drunkard, Old Man Zhang, and those blind old people, so they were quite popular.
Although those people wanted me to die, and they forced me to go up the mountain to find the Earth Immortal Sword, I still felt some indescribable feelings when I actually saw them die in front of me.
It's not that I'm sad.
It just feels like nothing is real.
And now.
But I am the only one in Fenling Village.
The old drunkards are all dead.
Although Uncle Ghost is not dead.
But his identity has also become mysterious from the village guard of Fengling Village, and I don’t know when he will come to Fengling Village again.
At this time, the only things that had not changed in the entire Fengling Village were the black and white coffins, and the rooms that might no longer have any firelight.
Soon I returned to Uncle Ghost's house.
After placing the ice crystal skeleton in the small black and white coffin as Uncle Ghost said, I suddenly felt much more relaxed.
But I also became confused.
Now the Earth Immortal Sword is available.
The next thing missing is the soul-inducing beads.
And according to what Uncle Gui said, I have to wait three days until the mountain fire burns from the Chenghuang Temple on Gui Mountain to Fenglung Village before I can get Fengling Village.
In other words, in the next three days, I can only leave Fengling Village and can't do anything.
Although this is not a bad thing for me, this feeling of waiting is actually the most painful.
But I also know that apart from doing what Uncle Ghost said, I have no other way. After all, I really have no clues about the soul-inducing beads, and there is no trace of the coffin.
But I was in no hurry to leave.
Instead, he walked around Uncle Ghost's house, collected some food, and then went to look at the rooms that were previously occupied according to his memory.
After collecting enough food to last me three days, I left Fengling Village.
In the meantime, I still explored the village a bit hoping for a chance.
But not surprisingly, the village was indeed deserted.
I just left the village and didn't know where to go. I thought about going back to Niang'er Village first, but when I thought of what the old smoker said before, I gave up this idea.
Now I haven't even found the conditions for the first five-coffin coffin, let alone the Northeastern Immortal Association that I will attend later.
Going back at this time, I didn’t feel confident.
Finally, I took a shabby quilt I found from Uncle Gui's house and settled at the stone monument I saw when I first came to Fengling Village.
This place is the closest to Fengling Village, and it can be regarded as leaving Fengling Village, and you can see the scene of Ghost Mountain and Fengling Village at a glance. Although it can be called sleeping in the open air, at least there is a bed and some food, so you can't die.
And I did stay for three days.
On the first day, I was still a little uncomfortable.
Although I came alone when I was in Niang'er Village, at least I had the group of wild dogs at the entrance of the village to amuse me, and there were chickens and ducks raised at home to relieve my boredom at night.
But here, I can do nothing except being in a daze.
So on the first day, I almost slept with the Earth Immortal Sword in my arms. I was always groggy and lacked energy.
On the second day, I started to enjoy this feeling a little bit.
Maybe it's because I've been experiencing all kinds of dangers since I came to Fengling Village.
So after a day of peace, I also calmed down.
I also started to think about what happened in the past few days.
From the time I entered Fenling Village, to the Ghost Mountain, to the City God's Temple, to all the things that happened in the City God's Temple, many things seemed unrelated, but if I think about it carefully, it seems that there is another pair of hands pushing all of this.
.
I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart.
Like a puppet, am I not the only one being used?
On the third day, I figured it out.
I started not to think about those things anymore, because I found that no matter how much I thought about them, there was only one answer in the end, and that was that I couldn't do anything or change anything.
In other words, even if there is a person standing in front of me now, and then someone tells me that he is the initiator of everything, there is nothing I can do against him.
Because I'm not strong enough.
Because even when I was in Niang'er Village, I could only be protected.
Because I can't even take charge of my own life.
At this moment, I had an idea for the first time.
I want to become great.
Just like Liu Yunsheng.
Or stronger.
It's not just about replenishing lives, it's not just about replenishing lives.
I don’t know if it’s my misunderstanding or just overthinking.
After this idea appeared, I felt like I had remembered something, but when I thought about it carefully, I couldn't think of anything.
Three days passed like this.
On the fourth day.
I finally saw the mountain fire that Uncle Ghost mentioned.
However, it was not the fire I expected, but a black mist.
Starting from the Chenghuang Temple, it enveloped the entire Ghost Mountain, and then spread like a flame to the entire Fengling Village, until it engulfed Fengling Village.
In the black mist, I saw densely packed figures. They were struggling and wailing in the black mist. They seemed to be in great pain. The black mist seemed to be made up of them.
When I saw this scene, I couldn't help but gasp.
My mind couldn't help but think of the last painting I saw when I entered the City God's Hall.
But at this moment, I look a bit like the man holding the sword in the painting.
And as the black mist swallowed up the entire Fengling Village, the wailing sounds became clearer and noisier. Faintly, I could see figures emerging from the black and white coffins.
Walked out.
It's those resentful bones.
After those resentful bones awakened, the struggling figure in the black mist seemed to have found a home, and began to mingle with those resentful bones.
Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, they began to turn into naked people one by one.
There are men and women.
There are young and old.
It's just that they seemed confused in their eyes, like walking corpses, all walking in the same direction after appearing.
