Every day the puppet is playing dead

According to Yaoying, the people in the town here worshiped the wrong god.

"I was originally a ray of breeze in the mountains and forests, but I didn't expect to be given a shape by humans."

Yaoying said.

She was formless at first, floating freely in the mountains and forests.

As a result, one day I met a person, and on a whim, I helped that person.

Unexpectedly, Yaoying didn't take this matter to heart, but after that person went back, she blatantly talked about it, forcing people in the town to fabricate a "green mother".

"I didn't know that I would be called the 'Green Mother'."

Yaoying recalled here, she twitched the corners of her mouth, trying to laugh, but in the end she didn't.

From that day on, Yaoying had a name, a title.

After that, people worshiped the "Green Mother Empress", built a temple for the "Green Mother Empress", and held a Lantern Festival every year to commemorate it.

"At that time, I was young and pure-hearted. When I saw people being so pious, I responded to them and turned myself into what the 'Green Mother' should be in their eyes."

Recounting the past, Yaoying couldn't hide a trace of resentment in her childish words.

At the beginning, there were many people who believed in Yao Ying.

Relying on the power of faith, Yaoying was still able to maintain her phantom figure. Therefore, the image of Yaoying that appeared in front of people at that time was the same as the statue of a god, both of which were the image of a gentle woman in green clothes.

However, what Yaoying did not expect was that even if it is a god, people also hope to be able to "exchange"——

They provide faith, and God is responsible for helping to fulfill wishes.

After all, Yaoying is not a real god, plus there are rules and restrictions, Yaoying does not respond to every wish. Over time, perhaps because people think that Yaoying's efficiency in responding to wishes is too low, the people in the town began to doubt her existence.

It is not easy for the demon spirit to practice, and Yaoying has been busy satisfying the wishes of the people in the town. By the time Yaoying realized it, she had already been occupied by doves, and her body had shrunk due to lack of spiritual power, and she became It has become the small shape it is now.

After listening to Yao Ying's words, Chong Yu thought for a while and asked:

"Then who is the current 'Green Mother Empress'?"

Hearing this, Yaoying couldn't help twisting her face again, and she said angrily:

"Who knew? She's an evil spirit!!!"

Since people discovered that believing in gods can fulfill their wishes, while being grateful to the gods, human desires have grown.

There are always people who are not satisfied with the various requirements and restrictions of the gods to fulfill their wishes, so they turn to worship what can directly fulfill their wishes.

Greed is getting more and more powerful, and over time, a group of evil spirits have condensed.

This group of evil spirits is the same as Yaoying at the beginning, intangible, but when more and more believers later, she gradually occupied the statue of the 'Green Mother', and then replaced Yaoying.

"I really don't understand why humans worship her."

Yaoying crossed her arms and said,

"Obviously the way she fulfilled her wish was accomplished at an extremely tragic price paid by the wisher. Why are so many people asking her to make a wish?"

Xie Chong's way of fulfilling his wish is not as gentle as Yao Ying.

After Yaoying fulfills the wishes of believers, all they need is for believers to worship her, but Xie Chong is different.

She will fulfill wishes in ways that believers can't imagine, and will take away the most precious things of believers along the way.

Someone once wished that their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would have a harmonious relationship and that there would be no more quarrels at home, so they made a wish like a ghost.

That group of evil spirits accepted this wish, and fulfilled the wish of the believer, but the way of realization——

Except for the one who made the wish, everyone in the family died.

This is great, the house of the person who made the wish is indeed much quieter, and there will be no more quarrels in the house.

This is the fulfillment of that person's wish.

But at the same time, the person who made the wish was also hit too hard. After his family died, he fell ill and passed away soon after. His house has since become a pile of ruins.

There are countless examples of this.

Even so, there was still an endless stream of people who came to look for Xie Chong.

Moreover, many people deliberately ignored the price Xie Chong needs to pay to realize his wish, instead advocating that Xie Chong can realize his wish.

Over time, Xie Chong's reputation grew, and there were more and more believers. After the older generation died, Xie Chong became the "real" Green Mother.

After listening to Yaoying's story, Chongyu was silent for a few seconds, then asked:

"Then what does it matter to me?"

Yaoying floated in mid-air with a light figure, almost no different from the fireflies in the night sky. She clenched her fists tightly and said word by word:

"Anyone can, help me avenge and destroy that evil spirit."

Wan Tengbai strikes while the iron is hot at this time, he leans up close to Chongyu, and whispers in Chongyu's ear:

"That evil...she has your other hand over there, don't you want it?"

"I……"

"I will help you."

Wan Tengbai said, "Yaoying and I have been paying attention to the movement of that evil spirit during this time, and we will help you."

After finishing speaking, as if he was afraid that Chongyu would go back on his word, Wan Tubai smiled wryly at Chongyu, and then said seriously:

"When this matter is settled, get your hands back and I'll tell you all you want to know."

Hearing this, Chong Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and there were so many things he wanted to ask——

He wanted to know if Wan Chengbai had seen Xiaobai;

He wanted to know, did Wan Qibai really know how to travel back;

He wanted to know, did Wan Tubai know who was behind all this?

But now, Chongyu couldn't ask a single word, because he knew that Yuan Wuxin was still in his body, and he could see everything in front of him through his body.

To be honest, it's very strange that Yuan Wuxin in his body didn't say a word even after seeing Wan Qibai, which didn't look like his usual style at all.

The unfamiliar feeling of being unable to control everything swept Chongyu's heart again. He took a deep breath and tried his best to forget the discomfort, then he nodded:

"Okay, what should I do?"

Hearing Chongyu's tone soften, Wan Teng's white eyes lit up, he breathed a sigh of relief, his black pupils looked at Chongyu without blinking, and said:

"You're still the same as before."

The same knife mouth tofu heart.

[That's great, you haven't changed yet. 】

Chong Yu finally heard the other voices in Wan Tengbai's heart besides "I'm sorry", and felt a little relieved. He subconsciously followed Wan Tengbai's voice and asked:

"Why, are you different from before?"

Wan Tengbai didn't answer, he smiled gently at Chongyu, neither denying nor affirming.

He stepped forward, patted Chongyu on the shoulder lightly, and then pulled Chongyu towards the town:

"I'll talk about it later. The first thing to do is to find your hand."

This is obviously changing the subject.

Chongyu understood in an instant that Wan Tubai didn't want to discuss this issue with him.

Is this question difficult?

Why are you unwilling to answer this question?

This is true of Mr. Wen from Wanhua Valley, and so is Wan Qibai.

Chongyu thought, then when they looked at him, was it because they were happy to see an old friend, or were they recalling their past through him?

Thinking of Mr. Wen's warning before, Chong Yu still had a gap in his heart towards Wan Tubai.

Although he didn't reject Wanqibai's touch, what he really wanted was to use the contact between the two of them to further listen to Wanqibai's inner thoughts.

Although the mind-reading skill is not Chongyu's, Chongyu has learned many skills without a teacher, one of which is to be able to enter another person's inner world more deeply through physical contact.

And at the moment when Wan Tengbai's hand touched his shoulder, Chongyu really felt Wan Tengbai's heart personally -

Severe storm.

Chongyu couldn't find a more suitable word to describe it. Wan Tengbai's heart he felt was full of noise, venting and roaming around roaring;

He felt that his consciousness had entered Wan Chengbai's inner world, as if he had been thrown into the washing machine, bumped against the washing machine wheel, and then turned over and over to make countless circular movements.

What's even more amazing is that in the midst of a violent storm, Chongyu vaguely heard a familiar electronic sound——

[Restart...Restart...Identity...Failure...]

The weak electronic sound is intermittent, swinging in the violent storm, weak, crying ghosts and howling wolves.

"what happened?"

Wan Tengbai felt his body stiffen for a moment, then he turned his head and looked at Chongyu in his arms tenderly.

I have to say that Wan Tubai's appearance is really convincing.

His tone is just right, his appearance is handsome, when his black pupils look at you, you will think that you are the only one in his world;

What is even more exciting is that his behavior is always on a delicate boundary.

A boundary that you can bear and slightly overstep, arouse your curiosity, and further look forward to his next actions.

Chong Yu shook his shoulders, he put down Wan Chengbai's hand on his shoulders, and said in an embarrassing way:

"You're too close, I don't like people touching my shoulder very much."

Wan Tengbai didn't speak, he just stood there and looked at Chong Yu, his whole face reflected a strange expression under the faint light of fireflies, but when Chong Yu raised his eyes to look further, Wan Tengbai's face looked like It's the same as usual.

"Sorry, I forgot about your body."

Wan Tengbai said in a slightly apologetic tone, and he withdrew his hand in a graceful manner.

If Chongyu is still struggling with this operation, it seems that he is looking for faults.

So Chongyu could only put aside the discomfort in his heart, and continued to follow behind Wan Tubai, walking towards the town.

The two walked towards the town one after another. Yaoying was very excited. After Wan Tubai withdrew her hand, she unceremoniously flew to Chongyu's shoulder, sat down on her buttocks, and said:

"Now there are lanterns over there, and there is also a phantom of Xie Chong. That Xie Chong will definitely hide in the crowd to watch this 'sacrifice'."

The Lantern Festival in the town lasts for three days.

On the first day, the townspeople will release huge phantoms, praying for the gods to come.

On the second day, the townspeople will make dolls, let the gods possess them, and open them up for sacrifices.

On the third day, the townspeople will put the puppets they have made into the new "Green Mother" temple to replace the puppets from the previous session.

In other words, Chongyu has three days.

"Is that phantom 'alive'?"

Hearing what Yao Ying said, Chong Yu couldn't help but glance sideways at the little one sitting on his shoulder.

Yaoying nodded and shook her head:

"That's a phantom, but... that evil spirit can choose its own sacrifice through the eyes of the phantom."

Since you want to make a puppet, of course you have to choose the satisfactory parts yourself.

Chong Yu nodded, expressing his understanding.

Although he is not Xie Chong, he is inexplicably able to understand Xie Chong's thoughts.

Since Xiesong picked his hands at the beginning, it means that according to her aesthetics, she will undoubtedly look at other parts of him.

"Will the Lantern Festival be held every year?"

Chongyu thought about the aspirations of the residents in the town, and the ecstasy of his identity as a foreigner, Chongyu couldn't help but look at Wan Tubai,

"If you make a puppet every year, then at least one person will die every year, doesn't the Cultivation League know?"

In Chong Yu's impression, the Cultivation League is the Righteous Way Alliance in the human world.

Shouldn't the Alliance of the Righteous Way eradicate rape and eradicate evil?

Since the huge Xiuxianmeng can infiltrate the eyeliner into the other two realms, will they turn a blind eye to this kind of thing that happened under their noses?

Hearing this, Wan Tubai turned his head and sighed deeply, with a helpless tone:

"Chongyu, I am not omnipotent, neither is the Cultivation Alliance. Many people die in the cultivation world every day. If I had to take care of everything, I would have died of exhaustion."

Chong Yu frowned.

From a rough sound, Wan Chengbai's words can't find any mistakes, but when I think about it carefully, I feel that there is something strange.

Seeing Chongyu thinking hard, Wan Tubai looked at Chongyu with soft eyes, and gently persuaded him in a tone of someone who had experienced it:

"It's just a few low-level foreigners who die every year. In exchange for that evil spirit's peace for a whole year, this deal is actually quite a bargain."

Chong Yu: "..."

He suddenly realized that in Wan Tubai's thinking, those ordinary people were not counted among "people".

He was a little scared.

He was thinking, in Wan Tengbai's eyes, could he be considered a "person" after all?

Chongyu lowered his eyes, not daring to meet Wan Tubai's eyes.
