Seeking immortality in a deceitful way starts by making oneself into a puppet

The years are endless.

In this ancient village, this strange reincarnation has been repeated...

After everyone imagined it for a while, they felt goosebumps rising. This was not out of fear, but because they felt a strange chill at this strange situation.

Although this situation was uncomfortable, Chi Xinzi had no intention of stopping it. With a meaningful look in his eyes, he was observing the squirming wet pieces of meat lying on the ground.

"We don't have to act in a hurry. This reset process takes a stick of incense. It's a rare opportunity. Let's watch it carefully..."

In the light gray mist, the piece of meat climbed out of the dark stone well, trembling and pulsating, waving the slender strips of meat that were originally hands, crawling like a snail. After a while, the piece of meat made a sound, and the surface trembled. , changing form in the blink of an eye, breaking away from its original form.

The woman in red covered her mouth desperately, feeling a strong sense of vomiting. In front of her eyes, the piece of meat gradually turned into half fish and half human, and then changed from half fish and half human to human form. Hair grew on the bald head and facial features appeared on the face.

Because this scene is so weird, it is difficult for people to imagine the connection between the villagers in the daytime and the pieces of meat in front of them. When you witness this scene with your own eyes, you will inevitably experience the huge difference that is full of blasphemy and shocking.

Everyone waited for a stick of incense. The half-murlocs who climbed out of the well completed their transformation into villagers and walked towards their homes. They were fakes of the villagers reset in the last reincarnation. In Heping It seems that it is a kind of "clone".

Chixinzi said that these "clones" have the memories of the villagers during the last seven-day reincarnation, but this memory is also false. They will go to their original homes, kill their previous selves, then replace them, and then forget this memory. , live the next seven days as a matter of course...

I don’t know how long it took, but the villagers who had completed the transformation entered the gray mist one after another and returned home. The stone fence around the ancient well became deserted, and everyone continued to move forward and arrived at the stone well.

This stone well is larger than ordinary wells. The mist coming out of the well has disappeared. At a glance, a deep black hole is exposed at the mouth of the well. The stone well is like a bottomless tunnel. It's a gateway to another world.

"Did those 'things' come from here?"

"White-bearded guest" Wu Meizi's voice was very deep.

The Purple Armor Palace has always believed in the evil god known as the "Wutong Demon Lord", who is the most ferocious and cruel among the Nine Evils of Immortality. The Wutong Demon Lord is a demon god from outside the territory and is extremely cruel. The spells of the Purple Armor Palace He is also ferocious and vicious, and needs a blood sacrifice to regenerate his soul in order to please this demon god and demon lord, in order to exchange for the demon lord's mercy and favors.

Wu Meizi believed that he was in the Purple Armor Palace and had seen all kinds of cruel and horrific things done to please the demon lord. Killing, torture, eating alive... were all commonplace, but after seeing this ancient well Despite all the weird scenes happening around me, I was still a little scared.

"I guess this is an ancient ritual," Chixinzi analyzed.

"In the Sanyuan Demon Palace, Xiayuandong Mingmai majored in 'Shuiguan Law'. According to legend, the Shuiguan Emperor was in charge of the three rivers, four seas, and Jiujiang Water Mansion. All creatures in the water, including countless spiritual fish, dragon whales, and salamanders in the vast waters, All fine things are under the control of Emperor Shuiguan."

"However, in addition to the creatures of the water tribe, Emperor Shuiguan is also in charge of the Biluo River in the Infinite Abyss - the Impure Yellow Spring. The Impure Yellow Spring flows through the Earth Abyss Realm among the three realms, reaching nine levels deep and passing through nine cracks. , injected into the depths of the earth, and derived from the water of the Styx that runs through the nine abyss of the earth."

"This means that Emperor Shuiguan is also in charge of a part of the world that used to be regarded as the 'Netherworld'. His functions overlap with that of Emperor Shuiguan, who specializes in monitoring the five mountains, four poles and eight dimensions, and is in charge of the ghosts and gods of the dead at night."

Chi Xinzi described the Shinto system of the Sanyuan Demon Palace. The three official emperors of the Sanyuan lineage are a system that coordinates, coexists, and circulates with each other in terms of Shinto functions.

——The Emperor Tianguan sits in the middle of the sky and is responsible for supervising the transformation of yin and yang between heaven and earth, the growth of all things, the blessings of the three realms, and the blessing of all spirits.

——The Earth Official Emperor is in charge of the ten directions and nine places, that is, he works with all sentient beings in the hells and hells to eliminate sins, eliminate evil roots, cut off the names of dead people, improve their birth certificates, and examine the bright and clear world.

On the other hand, the powers of the local officials and the Shuiguan emperors can be transferred to each other, that is, they are in charge of the living and the dead, and they also take into account the merits, demerits, sins, blessings, and simple records of the men and women of the people, as well as the servants of the deceased. The rivers and lakes were used to transport the deceased and send them to the underworld to be punished as slaves. This was also an important responsibility of the Shuiguan Emperor.

Hearing this, He Ping thought of the "triangular" structure in his mind. The triangle is the most stable relationship. In his opinion, these three emperors have obviously reached a relatively stable triangular structure.

"In some extremely ancient legends, our human race is called the 'Ying Clan' or the 'Naked Insect'. It is said that our human race was born in the deepest part of the earth, which is the Abyss Realm of the Three Realms. The human race is along the lines of Climb upward from the bottom of the abyss of poverty, go upstream from the impure underworld, and finally reach the surface."

"The ancestors of us naked insect beings, that is, the ancestors of humans, are similar to another scale family. They are all residents of the depths of the earth. There was once a saying in the world that our ancestors were like earthworms and worms, living in the abyss. Underground. At that time, we did not have the sharp claws and teeth, nor the strength of our bones and muscles, so we could only eat earth and drink from the underworld to survive."

"Later, we imitated scale insects and transformed into fish, because only fish scales can swim upstream and cross the impure underworld. After climbing to the ground, we imitated caterpillars and animals and grew arms and legs. , imitating the sounds of the Feather Clan, and finally, our human race learned about insects, imitating the battles of insects, making various halberds, shields, and oars, and learning to fight and kill..."

Chixinzi elaborated on a confusing legend. This legend came from the unofficial history of the barnyard official and the unburned scriptures of the previous dynasty, which were denounced by the Confucian scholars of the Dayou Dynasty as "full of nonsense and fabricated lies". There are many unimaginative and almost mythical contents in it, and the absurdity of this history about the origin of human race makes people feel incredible.

"Three Yuan Demon Palace may have studied these ancient histories, and based on this, they believe that human life and death are just like the ancestors of the human race, crossing from the bottom of the Nine Abyss, crossing the impure underworld, and then traveling from the underworld to the earth The process is reversed.

Between life and death, there is a reversal of state. People come from the abyss of the earth, just like those 'pieces of meat', they turn into fish with scales, and then the fish turns into people... Death to us is Returning from life to death, returning to our roots and returning to life, is just like our ancestors coming from the underworld. One day, we who grew up on the earth will also have to follow this process and return to the earth as our souls. "

"This ancient well simulates the changes in the law of life and death in the mind of the Three Yuan Demon Palace. The 'ancient well' symbolizes the abyss world where life originates. Those clay-like flesh insects, following the gray mist, in the posture of a half-fish man, Gradually they became villagers.”

He Ping also somewhat understood the operating rules of this ritual.

"Seven days is a cycle. The reset villagers then kill the previous villagers. After devouring and killing them, it symbolizes the change of life and death..."

Chi Xinzi smiled and nodded.

"Junior Brother He's statement is roughly the same as my guess. The story of the human race migrating from the Abyss Realm of the Three Realms to the ground may not be true. It's just that the Three Yuan Demon Palace has studied this theory and laid out this ritual to run a certain This unknown formation created everything we see now."

"But what is the purpose of the person who arranged this ritual?"

Wu Meizi frowned tightly, and a Sichuan pattern appeared between his eyebrows.

"This has nothing to do with us. We should act as soon as possible. If the fog disappears completely, we will not be able to enter the Narcissus Cave."

After saying that, he was the first to jump in towards the wellhead.

"Comrades, I, my dear fellow, have taken the first step."

Everyone also looked at each other, and the "white-bearded guest" Wu Meizi also stepped on the stone railing and jumped down second.

"Girl, it's time for us to go down."

The white-haired Granny Miaohua smiled, held the woman in red beside her, and walked forward.

"Old woman, this woman is a mortal, right? Don't you think it's a hindrance to you to carry this burden?"

The old kiln ghost asked quietly while holding his tobacco pole.

"Old brothel ghost, you really like to meddle in other people's business. This girl is my unmarried granddaughter-in-law. I'll take her in myself. It's none of your business."

Grandma Miaohua smiled coldly, grabbed the woman in red, and entered the well mouth together. In the blink of an eye, she lost her trace in the mist.

The old kiln ghost didn't say hello to the last He Ping, and slowly jumped to the wellhead. His three twin triplets followed closely behind. One of them glanced at him, and the last one jumped in.

"Looks like I'm the last one."

He Ping shook his sleeves and made corresponding preparations. He grabbed the Nine-Death Substitute Witch Puppet and jumped towards the mouth of the well.

…

Penetrating into the pitch-black wellhead, I didn't feel the weightlessness of falling. His consciousness fell into blankness for a moment. It was only a matter of a moment. Within a few seconds, he returned to normal.

He Ping tried his best to open his eyes wide, but felt his eyes became sore.

After his vision opened, the surrounding scenery was slightly distorted, but after he blinked a few times, everything returned to normal.

"Is this a cave?"

The light was very dark, but it was not a big problem for He Ping. His five senses were extremely sharp, and he scanned the surrounding area with his spiritual power and recognized that this was a dark cave.

"There's water next to it."

He could hear water nearby.

He Ping restrained his breath, walked very lightly, and walked in the dark for a while, when a light source suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was a bronze figurine lamp, and the ghost-like oil lamp light lit up in front. I saw that the surrounding cave walls were smooth and moist, glowing with a strange green color, as if there was a layer of moss growing on it.

"Junior brother, you are here."

Chi Xinzi was dressed in a green robe, with Wu Meizi and others standing behind him. The bronze lamp he held in his hand swayed with the flickering light of phosphorus, illuminating a narrow corridor in front of him.

"We're almost there, waiting for you."

"good."

He Ping took a few steps forward, followed the people who were walking forward, passed through the narrow stone wall corridor, turned around, and saw the entrance of a formal stone gate in front of them. Everyone was refreshed and walked towards the stone gate.

The moment they passed through the stone gate, some people's eyes widened, while others took a breath. The strange scenery in front of them made their expressions change drastically.

"What's this?"

He Ping stopped and his heart trembled.

Ahead is a piece of purple-red magic soil, and at the end of the magic soil is a strange swamp. There are no water plants around this swamp, but there are many towering white bone pillars standing in front of it, like corals on the seabed, covered with thousands of branches and branches, forming a Bone Forest.

In the woods that were transformed into dense bones, there were rags dyed crimson hanging from the branches of countless bone trees. They were shrouds that fluttered when blown by the wind.

He Ping's eyes gradually looked deeper, to the back of the Bone Jungle standing in the swamp. It was an area that even his eyesight could not penetrate - there were large tracts of gray mist filling the air. There was an air of deathly silence, and there was something hidden in the strange smoke. It was shadowy and looming, giving off a creepy atmosphere.
