57 Chapter 57

"She's back, that woman is really back!"

This shout was as deafening as a roar that stunned all the villagers.

The tragic scene at the temple gate continued.

The peeled human skin was hung wrinkled on a rack nearby, and blood mixed with mercury dripped down from it.

The bloody human flesh was washed and thrown into the boiling whitish broth, sprinkled with wild vegetables and spices, and soon, the rich aroma rose from the pot and hovered under the dark night sky.

The extremely hungry villagers all had green eyes and almost drooled.

At some point, the moonlight finally appeared from the layers of black clouds.

The cold light without a trace of temperature fell, and all the shadows reflected on the ground turned into hideous and ominous evil spirits with bared fangs and claws.

What they didn't know was that after eating the immortal flesh, they not only failed to become immortals, but also failed to fill their stomachs. Instead, they developed the bad habit of eating human flesh.

For many years, this horrific scene has been replayed in the minds of all those who have committed heinous crimes like a nightmare. The villagers were sleepless every night and uneasy every day, fearing that they would turn into evil spirits and take their lives.

"Hoohoohoo--"

Just then, a cold wind blew, shaking the red and white mixed human skin on the shelf, whimpering like ghosts and wolves.

In the distance, it seemed that a huge shadow was forming on the horizon, and lightning flickered in the clouds.

Something was about to be born.

The villagers who had just gathered in the temple were so scared that they fled as if their butts were on fire, and even the farm tools were scattered all over the ground.

The barrage was dumbfounded.

[Wait, what's going on? Isn't this person eaten by them? Why are they inexplicably scared now? ]

[I want to ask this too. Damn, I was just having a great time with the trainees, but suddenly I saw an illusion and they all ran away. I was stunned]

[Ah, have you all forgotten? Although they are ugly and have fallen into evil, they must be afraid that the old lady will come back to find them. Otherwise, why would they set up a spirit tablet for the old lady in a cover-up? They are greedy for life and afraid of death in the face of hunger, commit evil deeds and are afraid of evil spirits to take their lives. It's really disgusting]

[Damn, that's too disgusting. I'm sick]

In addition to the comments discussing the background of the deserted village dungeon, many comments also found something wrong.

[Why are all these villagers gone? Damn, is that old lady really a ghost? ]

[The one who could scare all these villagers away... Alas, that old woman died so miserably, most likely she really turned into a fierce ghost]

[Alas, there is no way to turn into a ghost. Even if the old woman ate the magic grass, she still shared her food with these villagers. Not only did they not care about being ungrateful, but they also did such a thing. Suffocating]

[Do you remember when the trainees explored the dungeon before, everyone else was smearing this old woman? Unexpectedly, the truth was that they ate the old woman. This ability to reverse black and white is also amazing. I thought that the woman died miserably, but now it seems that she really deserved it]

[If I were this old woman, I would never let these people go even if I became a ghost. Damn, repaying kindness with hatred. This is the first time I hope that this ghost will kill all these villagers so much. Be a main quest for Jill]

The trainees in the temple also showed vigilance and retreated step by step.

Zong Jiu was thoughtful.

He knew that the old woman had not fallen into a ghost at all, and even became a Buddha, which just confirmed what the black-clothed Azan said before that there was Buddha spirit in the temple. Even if something comes, it can't be the old woman.

But this is not what he cares about.

Zong Jiu has now taken advantage of the chaos to walk to the coffin, hoping to complete his main task.

As a result, he was very sad to find that even though there was only a thick wooden board between him and the body of the Yin Po, the main system did not show any signs of prompting him that he had completed the task of the inner ghost card.

Could it be that he really had to open the coffin again?

Just as Zong Jiu was still worrying about it and was about to accept his fate and open the coffin lid, he suddenly heard a scream behind him.

These villagers ran away and scattered, and only Wang Shou was still thinking about his son and stayed in the temple. Everyone else looked at him vigilantly, but he didn't expect him to suddenly sit on the ground, his eyes were bloodshot, his expression was panic, and he ran and crawled behind him with his hands and feet.

In the dim night, the broken spirit tablet emitted a light golden light.

The black-clothed Azan was the first to groan, and the soul-calling flag in his hand was instantly forcibly retracted. Millions of little ghosts howled and shivered as they crawled back.

Not only him, but even Anthony showed a painful look. The ability of the half-vampire was greatly suppressed, and he turned back to the appearance and shape of a human.

In the entire temple, all the trainees who held cold and cold props in their hands felt the weakening at the same time.

Zhuge An frowned, "It's coming."

Xu Su, who was protecting the little boy, was stunned, "What's coming?"

The next second, Zhuge An didn't need to answer again.

There was a fine golden light floating on the ground of the temple, slowly gathering in the air.

In the distant void, the hazy shadow covered with colorful clouds gradually became clear.

The holy atmosphere, which was stronger than the faint Buddhist atmosphere in the temple before, enveloped the area.

No one could see the blurred face, only Wang Shou was still screaming.

"It's her... It's her - it's really her..."

His heart and eyes were full of fear, and the pale skin on his face twisted together, as if he had seen the evil ghost coming to take his life.

After all, the ghost messenger only told the story from a third-person perspective, so it couldn't be accurate.

Only the villagers of Tongbai Village knew what happened in this village at the beginning.

As the initiator who first discovered that the old woman didn't need to eat, Wang Shou naturally remembered the process and details of the incident clearly.

After he married the widow from the next village, she became pregnant soon.

As a result, not only was a baby girl born, but it was also dead, which was very unlucky.

During the famine, people couldn't eat enough, and it was even more difficult to have children. Many pregnant women gave birth to more than half of the ten babies due to lack of nutrition. Many villages have special dry wells, which are used to dispose of discarded baby girls and dead bodies.

That day, Wang Shou came back from outside and saw the woman who was in confinement dodging and evading with a panicked look, so he became suspicious.

Sure enough, after Wang Shou drove her off the kang, he searched the bedding and found a piece of cake that had just been bitten a few times.

"Well, you stinky woman also secretly hid the food?"

Wang Shou snatched the cake viciously. He raised it in a show of force, pretending to hit her.

The woman was still in confinement, how could she withstand his beating? She was so scared that her face turned pale and she immediately confessed, "It was... the old woman at the entrance of the village secretly stuffed it into me!"

That old woman?

Wang Shou immediately became suspicious.

Later, he took the lead in sealing the mud house, putting up an iron pot, and was the first to swallow the meat soup whole.

Seeing this scene now, how could Wang Shou not be horrified? !

He looked at the scene in fear, shaking like a sieve.

The hunched shadow emerging from the broken spirit tablet pointed vaguely.

The golden light was like a sudden break in the sky, a bright spot in the universe, cutting through the dark sky and falling into the vast earth, dispelling the horrible illusion caused by resentment outside in a moment.

The trainees in the temple finally saw the appearance of the golden light.

The old woman clasped her hands together, wearing colorful clothes, with a smile on her lips.

Her face was old and kind. If it wasn't for the fact that her face was exactly the same, no one would have thought that she was the one who was cruelly skinned and cooked by the villagers in the illusion just now.

"The fate has ended. I came here on the order of the Bodhisattva to take back the soil."

As expected, everyone looked back and saw that the Bodhisattva soil that was previously located outside the temple had disappeared silently.

The barrage sighed.

[Oh my god, we all thought the old woman had become a fierce ghost, but she turned out to be a Buddha...]

[Oh my god, that's becoming a Buddha... not playing house... this is no less than cutting meat to feed an eagle]

[Indeed, it's easy to become a ghost but hard to become a Buddha. I've seen so many horror dungeon replays, and this is the first one]

Even the low-level survivors like the barrage sighed, and the other high-level trainees in the temple were even more surprised.

As long as there is a tragic death, there is almost no example of not turning into a vengeful ghost in the horror dungeon.

That is the hatred of life and death. If it is so easy to let go, there won't be so many stubborn people in the world. Not to mention that it's like the old woman, who is kind-hearted and repays kindness with hatred.

The more kind-hearted and kind-hearted a person is, the more resentful he will be after being betrayed. This is common sense known to the survivors.

One trainee couldn't help asking, "Don't you hate it?"

After asking, he realized how ridiculous his words were.

Whether it is to become a Buddha or to ascend to immortality, the conditions required are as difficult as ascending to heaven.

If there is any hatred, it is impossible to become a Buddha on the spot. Putting down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot is never just talk.

The grandma in the golden light smiled and dissipated into the air.

‘Karma is cause and condition, and the fetters produced by karma are attachment. ’

‘The law of dependent origination is like this. If you don’t attach yourself to attachment, you will naturally let it go. ’

The others didn’t come back to their senses for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the victim in this copy let go of hatred and was listed in the immortal class.

The perpetrator was trapped in the quagmire of malice and could never get out.

The law of dependent origination is just a few words, but how difficult is it to do it? Most people can’t choose this way.

After a long time, someone slapped his head, "Wait, what about our main task?"

Thinking of the main task of "protecting the villagers", everyone looked like they had eaten a fly.

As a result, when they really looked back, they were stunned.

Wang Shou, who had just been howling like a ghost, was now stiff, his eyes were white, and his crotch was smelling fishy and unpleasant.

The old woman didn't come back to the villagers to seek revenge, but he actually scared himself to death.

"Puchi."

Everyone else was stunned, but the white-haired young man couldn't help but sneered.

He really thought it was funny.

No one hurt him, it was all his own fault, he scared himself to death, isn't that funny?

Zong Jiu was squatting in front of the vermilion coffin, holding the lid with one hand and pretending to lift it up with the other.

But the coffin was really heavy. Zong Jiu strengthened his hands but not his strength. He lifted it twice but it didn't move at all, so he called Xu Su and Xu Sen behind him to come together.

"Come on, help me."

The others just reacted.

Cao Hongtao yelled, "What are you still standing there for? Go ahead!"

"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, work harder."

Zong Jiu waved his hand carelessly, "Zhuge An will not stand by and watch him die. Anyway, there is Anthony, one S-level and one A-level, they are not useless, what are you afraid of, keep lifting."

After saying that, he actually ordered a few newcomers to ignore the situation over there and continue to work on the coffin.

The half-vampire gnashed his back teeth after hearing this.

Damn, if it weren't for the order from His Majesty, he would have already-

Thinking this way, he still resigned himself to his fate and stopped Cao Hongtao and the others.

Although Zong Jiu shouted this, his eyes were always on Anthony vigilantly.

He really suspected that Anthony had taken the wrong medicine.

Inexplicably, could Anthony still know that he helped to pull out the puppet string?

As soon as this idea came up, it was killed by Zong Jiu.

It's so possible, this idiot didn't even know that he was being controlled, how could he know that he was rescued?

So...what exactly is the reason that caused his attitude to be so different before and after?

Zong Jiu was distracted and thinking, and suddenly felt that the coffin lid under his hand moved.

"Crack--"

He was happy in his heart, and when he was about to increase his strength, he found something wrong.

-This force was not applied from the outside, but from the inside.

Zong Jiu felt that his fingers were suddenly entangled by silk threads, and then came the huge force of being bound, which was unavoidable.

He thought to himself that it was not good.

The next second, all the trainees watched the coffin lid, which was said to be so heavy that it took four or five people to lift it, suddenly lifted up.

Bloody fangs seemed to be bared from the nameless and terrifying darkness, and the white-haired young man was pulled in.

"Boom——"

The wind whimpered, and the coffin lid was closed again.

Others: "......???"
