As midnight entered, the host and hostess of this family slowly walked out of the house with their newborn baby in their arms.

The two of them had extinguished the candles in the room an hour ago, and waited until no one showed up in the entire village before quietly leaving their house in the middle of the night.

Xie Wangyan, Ye Qingxue and others emerged from the backyard.

"Follow us and take a look." He whispered.

After a while, the family quickly left the village.

Outside the village was the valley. Although the two of them were cautious, they saw several people standing at the entrance of the valley before leaving the valley.

Surprisingly, they are the citizens of Sifang Town.

Xie Wangyan and the others were wielding swords in the air at this time, looking at the scene below——

"I just said... you guys are a little weird." The person who spoke was a middle-aged man. Xie Yanyan didn't hear this man's voice earlier, probably because he didn't speak.

The man of the house suddenly stopped talking.

He looked at a few people warily, "We are just going back to town to get some things."

"Get some things, I think it's time to run away." At this time, the old man who spoke before spoke.

He looked at the infant child and said, "Stay, you go."

"... You!" The hostess of that family immediately hugged her child, "He is not a 'pig' at all! He is this normal child!"

"It's not a pig, why did you run away secretly?" the middle-aged man said.

Pig?

Xie Wangyan didn't expect to hear the word "pig" from a woman's mouth.

Obviously this has other meanings in the mouths of the people in Sifang Town.

And the situation below was obviously no longer ready for the people of that family to defend themselves. They saw that the group of people blocking the valley were about to start taking action.

Xie Wangyan immediately waved his sword according to what they had secretly discussed before——

A huge sword mark that almost split the mountain peak appeared immediately in the valley.

Ye Qingxue had no choice but to draw out the black glazed bow, and fired a few arrows. The arrows immediately passed through the hair of the group of people.

The successive movements almost frightened the group of mortals. Xie Huayan lowered his voice and said in mid-air, "This is a divine punishment..."

As soon as these words came out, the group of people fell to their knees almost immediately, shouting for God to spare their lives. Then it was not until Meng Xiuyan shouted "Go away" that the group of people disappeared at the entrance of the valley.

The three of them glanced at the frightened family of three.

Meng Xiuyan carried them to the flat ground high up in the valley before the three of them appeared. Xie Wangyan looked at the two people who were gray-faced and still shivering, "What are pigs?"

When the two people saw the three of them wearing the clothes of the Immortal Master, they immediately fell down on the ground and kowtowed.

There seemed to be fear in his words.

He kept saying "This has nothing to do with us".

"Don't talk nonsense." Ye Qingxue was a little impatient.

He leaned on the boulder nearby and looked at the two people, "If you tell me honestly, your lives will be spared."

At this moment, the baby woke up again and immediately started crying. The couple hurriedly tried to comfort them, and then they carefully told where the pig came from -

"...This pig is a person with physical abnormalities."

"People with physical differences?" Xie Wangyan suddenly thought of the extra foot on the baby's belly.

The man wiped his face and said, "Master Xianchang still remembers Butcher Zhang."

Xie Wangyan naturally remembered it, and he also remembered the extra finger and tail... So, could this butcher also have a physical difference?

Moreover, after the feet on the baby's belly were cut off, a scar was left.

He remembered that in the underground secret room, the group of people who died violently because of Butcher Zhang within a month all had such large and small scars on their bodies... and so did the group of old men.

"...This butcher is also a pig." The man explained honestly.

"People with physical abnormalities are pigs, and they are the ones whose lives can be borrowed."

Xie Huanyan frowned upon hearing this, "...borrowing my life?"

"The soul-returning incense?" He thought of the soul-returning incense lit in the secret room.

This man honestly explained the centuries-old tradition in Sifang Town.

The most ironic thing among them is the Great Good House - it was originally discovered that there were many people with physical differences in Sifang Town, and they lived and worked peacefully in the entire Sifang Town, so it got the name of the Great Good House.

But it wasn't until hundreds of years ago that a stranger came to this Sifang Town.

At this time, the mayor of Sifang Town was probably dying soon, but the stranger said that he had a way to prolong his life, which was to borrow his life.

All you need to do is to knead the old man's blood into a ball and give it to the recently deceased corpse. After lighting the soul-reviving incense, the old man will be inactive for a whole month without extinguishing the ever-burning lamps on his head and feet, and then he can be resurrected in this person's body.

The mayor didn't believe it at first, until a man died of illness suddenly appeared in the town. Then he decided to give it a try. Before he died, he stuffed the ball made of his blood into the man's body. , followed the monk's method, and sure enough, one month later, the old man who died originally was resurrected in this person's body.

Xie Huanyan frowned when he heard this, "If that's all, then it's just a corpse resurrected... How can it be related to Zhuang?"

Ye Qingxue smiled, "Of course it's because mortals are not satisfied."

He looked at the hesitating man, shot the arrow in his hand, and cut the man's clothes - he saw a familiar scar on the man's back.

Xie Wangyan didn't understand Ye Qingxue's meaning at first, but when he understood it, his face became livid.

This old man who died of illness is not as useful as a young man.

Moreover, although this person successfully borrowed his life, if the person whose life was borrowed is already old, he will not live long and will need to find a new one.

"...So those who are no different from ordinary people will not be borrowed."

"Only those with physical differences?"

Meng Xiu said.

This man also has scars on his body, which proves one thing - this man has also borrowed his life.

It is precisely because of this that he wanted to disguise his child so as to escape the fate of being a "pig".

Xie Wangyan looked at the trembling man and finally understood the meaning of the retribution the old man shouted outside the ancestral hall that day——

I am afraid that those who died suddenly in their sleep were the old men who had borrowed their lives.

Once you enter a dream, you will return to your original appearance, so Zhang Butcher said:

"Not you."

And that butcher Zhang was probably the same as this family. He cut off his fingers and tail early in the morning to successfully disguise himself - but maybe his traces were still discovered later.

Xie Wangyan thought of Butcher Zhang's house...it was not difficult to guess where this would happen.

There is no magic bullet for this group of mortals. Whether it is cutting off the extra arms, legs, or heads, I am afraid they will only end up dead.

Maybe someone is lucky and manages to survive, which can be regarded as a small life.

The pig carrying the sedan chair in the dream was obviously the result of the resentment of these people after their death...

Xie Wangyan raised his head and looked at the horizon.

The law of heaven is ruthless, but the law of heaven can actually ignore this happening at the foot of Taiqing Villa.

Or maybe from the beginning to the end, Heaven doesn't care, mortals live or die, monks cannot ascend, and to Him, they are nothing more than a mayfly.
