"Big fire?" Luo Jiutian's brain was stuck, "What kind of big fire? Was it...the big fire two years ago?"
The woman looked at Luo Jiutian and was stunned for a while, "Of course not, it was the big fire many years ago."
The Taoist priest never told me that there had been more than one fire here.
"You are an outsider, so you may not know," the woman said, "and it was a long time ago. I only know that the fire killed many women in the village. As for the cause of the fire, the adults basically kept silent.
, so I don’t understand either.”
"Why did the village have such a rule after the fire?"
"I don't know..." the woman shook her head, "Maybe it's for the reputation of the village."
What kind of reputation? There are no other settlements within a ten-mile radius of your place. Who do you want to show your reputation to?
"By the way," Luo Jiutian asked, "Do you know about the Prophet of Immortality?"
To his surprise, the woman showed a confused expression, "Prophet of Immortality? Who is that?"
"Don't you know the prophet?"
Is it because I have been dead for so long that my memory is wrong?
The woman slowly shook her head, "Is that a human?"
"That household over there is the chief of your village, right?" Luo Jiutian raised his hand and pointed to the spacious brick house in the distance.
"Yes, that's his home..." The woman was a little surprised, "When I was alive, the village chief lived there, and it should be the same now. After all, the village chief's father was the previous village chief, and they were passed down from generation to generation.
Coming down…”
"The village chief knows about the Immortal Prophet," Luo Jiutian said, "This is a secret of Lianshui Village. By the way, Lianshui Village should have been called Fire Lotus Village before. You..."
"I know this," the woman said, "The name was changed after the big fire, because the village chief said that it was unlucky to have fire in the name of the village, so he changed it to water, saying it could restrain the fire veins."
I suppressed my loneliness.
"It's strange, how come you don't know about the prophet..." Luo Jiutian muttered to himself, and then looked at the woman, "Those books are still at the village chief's house. Why don't you come with me and have a look?"
Maybe you’ll remember it after reading it.”
"I'm not in the mood right now." The woman was a little dissatisfied with Luo Jiutian's self-centered attitude.
"But……"
The woman looked down at her parents again, and Luo Jiutian closed his mouth when he saw this.
Should I wait here for the woman to improve her mood, or should I try my luck elsewhere?
However, can he meet another villager who is willing to tell the truth to him? After all, all the blood curses have been burned down, and in the village, apart from the "living people" who are like walking corpses, there are also "dead people" who have ill intentions towards him.
How about we work harder on this battle situation?
"I think..." Luo Jiutian walked closer, "Your parents should also have their own difficulties."
The woman sat on the stone chair by the window, staring blankly at her parents' faces, as if she hadn't heard Luo Jiutian's words. After a while, she said to herself, "Tell me, why don't they and I agree?"
Is it the same?"
"This..." Luo Jiutian saw that he had room to express himself, and he quickly moved over excitedly, "Parents, they always have their position, although it is wrong to say... you..."
"I didn't say that." The woman stood up and carefully observed the bodies of her parents. "Look, they are dead too."
The Taoist priest and himself have discussed this issue. Indeed, these people are currently in a very strange state, between life and death, similar to the spirit tide, but without the spirit tide.
"Are they dead?" Luo Jiutian asked knowingly.
"Dead," the woman reached out and touched her mother's face, "Oh, I thought they were alive, but it turns out... But why are they different from me? Why did they become like this?"
"You..." Luo Jiutian asked tactfully, "Have you ever thought about why you are like this?"
"Me?" The woman pointed at herself, "I don't know, I just felt that... the thing that had been trapping me was gone. Then, I wanted to get the spirit of a living person, and then I saw you..."
"Ah, I don't need to go into details here, but what happens next?"
"Then I saw... my home," the woman suddenly became melancholy, "I thought of them and the hatred I felt when I was dying, but now..."
When I really saw my parents, I miraculously forgave them.
The tragedy of being a child.
"I understand," Luo Jiutian said, "because your death methods are different."
This is of course nonsense.
"How to die? You know..."
"The village chief should know," Luo Jiutian brought the topic back, "How about we go to the village chief's house to ask?"
"Okay then." The woman agreed with a frown.
Luo Jiutian turned around and left the bedroom. The woman lowered her head and looked deeply at her mother's cheek, the woman who gave birth to him and then killed her, the woman who could not be resented no matter what.
Forget it, maybe they really have nothing to do.
The woman reluctantly took her hands away from her mother's face. However, at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Mother's cloudy pupils suddenly widened.
Luo Jiutian stood outside the door and was surprised to see a hand rising quickly from the bed and grabbing the woman.
"ah!--"
The woman let out a short, sharp cry, and the next second, the hand had already twisted around her neck, pulling her to fall onto the bed.
At the same time, the two people lying on the bed sat up in a daze.
That hand comes from the woman's mother.
The woman was pulled so hard that she staggered and fell crookedly on her parents' lap. The two looked at their daughter, suddenly opened their mouths, leaned over and bit their daughter's neck.
"shut up!"
A golden light came from the door and hit my father's back. The man was rolled over by the golden light and fell from the bed.
Luo Jiutian ran back to the bedroom and hurriedly looked at the woman and her mother.
However.
Chi——
He only heard a small sound of skin breaking.
Luo Jiutian was stunned and had forgotten all the moves he had prepared.
Blood exploded before his eyes.
"Firm...Steady Rock Thunder!"
Another golden light shot out, and the woman's mother also flew out.
On the bed, only the twitching woman was left.
Blood gurgled from her open neck, and her eyes widened in disbelief. Luo Jiutian watched as the light in those eyes dimmed and disappeared little by little. With the last violent trembling, the woman's body softened,
This woman, who had been restored to life not long ago, died again.
Blood dripped down the bare edge of the bed and onto the ground. Luo Jiutian's eyes moved down and he saw two prostrate figures.
The woman's parents crowded under the bed, competing to lick her blood.
Before Luo Jiutian could react, the two men suddenly raised their heads, and their chaotic pupils were locked fiercely on him.
