Bring the dead back to life?

"If we do this, will there be any retribution?" This is a Han couple, the woman asked tremblingly.

The village chief smiled and said in a comforting tone: "No, we have prepared so many sacrifices, and the goddess is very satisfied with us."

The sound of heavier breathing came from beside him, and Fang Li turned his head to see Gong Xuefeng's expression of excitement.

"Isn't it too exciting? What does he mean by saying that people can be resurrected after death?"

Fang Li said, "Maybe."

He watched the village head put the clay pot into the cart and put it together with other pots, so he said: "He is leaving, let's follow first."

Gong Xuefeng showed hesitation: "Then...don't we need to go back and call them together?"

Fang Li thought of Xie Baiyuan's face, and shook his head: "If you are afraid, you can go back and tell them what we found."

Gong Xuefeng was moved by what he said, and before he left, he told him worriedly: "Be careful, pay attention to safety."

Fang Li nodded.

Half an hour later, the whole village gathered at the entrance of the village.

Fang Li saw Fu Xiaoqiang's figure in it. Although he was young, he seemed to have some status in the village. He walked behind the village chief, like a second in command.

At this moment, it was almost sunset, and under the order of the village chief, a group of people set off. The young men carried some sacrifices such as cattle and sheep, and the women began to sing in a low voice. Come out, but the tune is very tragic and desolate.

Fang Li quietly followed behind.

The team stopped in front of a mountain, and Fang Li looked up. Normally, they would walk up the mountain from here to send the corpse to the celestial burial platform.

However, the team headed by the village chief obviously did not go to the sky burial platform.

The two men worked together to remove a large boulder at the foot of the mountain, revealing a dark passage.

There is still a way down here.

After everyone entered the mountain, Fang Li hesitated for a moment, then walked in.

From the outside, it looks like a hole that only allows one person to enter and exit, but there is a cave inside.

The passage is very wide, with a bit of damp water vapor, fortunately there is no fork in the road.

When Fang Li walked out of the passage, the villagers of Bailaihao knelt down in unison, and no one noticed him.

He found a random place and knelt down, mingling with the villagers.

In the middle of this space is a two-meter-high stone platform.

The village chief and the couple just now stood on the stone platform and knelt down to the sky.

Fang Li also looked up.

Amidst a rustling sound, an indescribable burnt smell wafted out.

Something overhead made his eyes widen.

It was a deformed "person" with long hair hanging loose in the air by a rope.

This is what they call a goddess.

Fang Li only felt a kind of fear.

The familiar smell in the air reminded him of the sacrifice that the village chief said earlier.

Fang Li had a guess in his mind that the word "sacrifice" probably did not refer to those cattle and sheep.

After worshiping and praying for five or six minutes, the village head got up and picked up the clay pot on the ground.

Fang Li lifted his spirits and saw the village chief unseal the clay pot, and poured two bowls of wine into the two bowls in front of the couple.

"After drinking this Yuantai wine, your mother will naturally be born by your side in a month's time."

Yuantai wine, wine made from placenta.

Fang Li recalled the wine that Zhu Yicheng handed to his mouth on the first day, and said at that time that the wine had no alcoholic taste, as if it was made of mountain spring water.

There was a tumbling in the stomach, and the desire to vomit went straight to the throat.

Fang Li slowed down, turned his head and saw a woman kneeling in front of him on the right.She lowered her head, and after careful identification, Fang Li found that she was actually the mother of the village chief.

It's just that I haven't seen her for two days, but she looks much younger, her face is no longer old, her complexion is rosy, and she is faintly excessive to a middle-aged woman in her thirties.

If it was just some conjecture when he heard about the resurrection before, now that he saw the village chief's mother, his conjecture had been confirmed.

Is this reincarnation?When people get old, they don't die of old age, but get younger and younger, and eventually even rejuvenate.

It is not difficult to imagine that after a period of time, the mother of the village chief will gradually become a young girl, then a babbling child, and finally return to the embryonic state.

It's no wonder that in a village with a total of about one hundred people, people die every day, but they can still keep the number of villagers from decreasing.

But since the villagers reincarnated in such a weird way, then who was it that they carried to the celestial burial platform?

Fang Li's brain was filled with various conjectures, and before the sacrificial ceremony was over, he retreated secretly.

Now the problem is, the two rings in the pocket.

Xie Baiyuan still has one ring in his hand. After last night, he already believed that these three rings are exactly the same.

Two conjectures: one is that these three rings are duplicates and they are playing tricks, deliberately leading him to suspect Xie Baiyuan; second, these three rings are all real, Xie Baiyuan in the yard, Xie Baiyuan who came to his room at night, and even The charred corpse on his back last night was also real.

Fang Li suddenly thought of the story Gong Xuefeng told last night to deal with Zhu Yicheng.

Once upon a time there was a mountain, and there was a temple on the mountain, and there was an old monk and a young monk in the temple...

Gong Xuefeng also just returned to the courtyard not long ago.

When he was struggling to get in through the dog hole, he suddenly thought of a question: If the whole village went to participate in the sacrifice, why didn't he go in through the gate openly and dig into the dog hole?

As soon as my head got in, I felt that someone lifted the back of the skirt and slipped it directly from the ground.

Xie Baiyuan asked coldly, "What about him?"

Gong Xuefeng was stunned for a few seconds, then realized that he was asking himself where Fang Li went.

Pointing behind him, he lowered his voice and said, "He followed the village chief. Let me tell you, this village hides a huge secret—here the dead can be resurrected! Fang Li said that he would go there first, and let I'll come back and call you."

Xie Baiyuan pursed his lips, obviously not thinking about the "secret" that Gong Xuefeng said.

If this village really has so many secrets, it would be too unsafe for Fang Li to leave with the village chief so hastily.

He raised his chin: "Take us there."

As soon as the words were finished, the person concerned followed closely behind and got in through the dog hole in the corner.

Gong Xuefeng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it would be good if he came back, the way he looked at Xie Baiyuan just now was strange.

Fang Li's first sentence was aimed at him.

"In the story you told last night, how many old monks and young monks are there?"

Gong Xuefeng was dumbfounded by his question.

He scratched his head, almost thinking it was some kind of puzzle question, "None, countless?"

This is the correct answer.

Just like there are countless old monks and young monks in the infinite loop story, there will be countless Xie Baiyuan and countless rings in this dungeon.

He already knew that the sky burial was just a cover-up, a smoke bomb.The real reincarnation, partly happened to the villagers, partly happened to themselves.

By worshiping the so-called "goddesses", the villagers transfer a part of samsara to them.The scorching smell that follows everywhere in the yard shows that the "goddess" has already found them, and they are sacrifices to the "goddess".

Local villagers enjoy eternal life in disguise, and they, the passengers, suffer from reincarnation.

Dramatically, as a sacrifice, he even ran to the sacrifice site to watch.

Fang Li brushed Xie Baiyuan's hand away, and ran out stumblingly to find Fu Xiaoqiang.

Fu Xiaoqiang had just returned from the sacrificial ceremony, and his face looked exactly like that of a seven or eight-year-old child, but after seeing the sacrificial ceremony with his own eyes, Fang Li knew in his heart that Fu Xiaoqiang's reincarnation had already completed almost half of it.

He approached Fu Xiaoqiang, and said straightforwardly: "I know something, but now I just want to ask you to do me a favor?"

Fu Xiaoqiang squinted his eyes, his eyes were shrewd and alert: "What's the matter?"

Fang Li said, "Translate a sentence for me."

He squatted down, picked up a stone at random, and wrote on the ground.

This is the word he saw on the back of the stone statue when he first entered the dungeon.

Although Fang Li couldn't read it, but fortunately he had a good memory and could draw it just as he remembered it.

"What does it mean?"

Fu Xiaoqiang only took one look and realized that the person in front of him should be the first to touch the truth.

The truth is often right in front of your eyes, but it is always so cruel that people don't want to face it squarely.

"This sentence means that those who break their trust will be burned by fire."

In ancient Greek mythology, there was a character called Sisyphus.

Because he violated the agreement with the queen of the underworld, he was punished to push the boulder up the mountain day after day after death, and watch the stone fall after reaching the top of the mountain.

This is an endless loop, the punishment of the gods for the treachery of Sisyphus.

Fang Li felt that he was very calm. At this time, when he confirmed that the identity of the charred corpse was Xie Baiyuan, he could still think about whether he was among the other corpses.

This dungeon has many regulations for them, and the schedule alone has already caused many people to violate the arrangement.

After thinking about it, he was still not sure what Xie Baiyuan violated to fall into such a cycle.

He wanted to figure it out, he wanted to break the cycle.

The author has something to say:

The story of this dungeon is like this, old age, sickness and death are normal reincarnation, the villagers worship a "goddess" by some means in exchange for a long life.

Then this kind of life becomes, they will not die of old age, and after reaching a certain state of aging, they will return to the prime of life, youth, youth, and finally the embryonic form.

Xiaofang and the others carried the celestial burial altar on their backs, not the villagers, but themselves.

Just another part of reincarnation, because they violated the rules here and became offerings to the Goddess.

There are more than or equal to three Xie Baiyuan appearing, which means that the number of reincarnations on Xie Baiyuan's body has been greater than or equal to three times.

Ah, that’s about it _(:з」∠)_It’s almost over
