Volume One, Ninth Day, Chapter Eighteen, Encountering a Ghost

The source of suffering in the world lies above, not below.

It was night again, and Gao Tao always felt that if he walked too much at night, he would encounter ghosts. Although Gao Tao had never seen a ghost, its legend has been spread throughout the world.

Soon they felt that something was wrong. This road seemed to have no end. With their strength, they should have walked out long ago, but they could not reach the end.

They tried to walk back, but saw heavy fog and no way back. At this time, the sound of gongs and drums was heard in the distance, and a festive red color came into view.

A village appeared in front, and every household was dressed in red and colorful. Gao Tao frowned, this was beyond his knowledge reserve.

He opened the world in his eyes, observed everything, and found that there was no change at all, and it was not like an illusion. Gao Tao's frown deepened. There was obviously a problem, but he couldn't see it. This was the most terrifying thing.

Looking at Dragon Girl, Dragon Girl concentrated for a while and shook her head.

"It's a disaster that can't be avoided. Let's go and see who it is. See if you can beg for mercy and let me live." Once it comes, let's see what kind of moth this is.

Walking forward, there was a small village that was not too big. Everyone had joy on their faces and rushed towards the place where the festive sounds came from inside. However, their dressing up did not arouse the curiosity of the villagers. It seemed that people like them had already

It's commonplace.

It was an ancestral hall, where a young man and woman were about to get married. The man had a simple and honest face, while the woman had a red hijab and couldn't see her face clearly, but she knew she was good just by looking at her slender and graceful figure.

The villagers gathered together and looked at the group of men and women who were about to get married with smiles. Everyone had an unforgettable smile on their face, as if the smile had already grown on their faces.

The person presiding over the wedding was an old man who was singing lyrics for them.

"Worship heaven and earth."

"Two bows to the high hall." There is no high hall to sit in front of.

"House of husband and wife."

"Send him to the bridal chamber." As soon as he said these words, the villagers stepped out of the way and saw a man wearing a colorful and peculiar dress, a tall feather crown on his head, and paint on his face, like a sacrificial dress in the past.

The priest waved his hand, and the villagers rushed in like a swarm of excitement, lifted up Sina, held up the bride, and ran towards the back of the village regardless of their struggles. Gao Tao and Long Nu also followed the crowd towards the back of the village.

This is a lake, a very big lake, but it is surrounded by wooden frames with densely painted tadpole characters on them.

People dress up the bride and groom, and the bride is dressed up to look holy and unattainable. She really has a good face, which seems to be happy and angry, and her face seems to change all the time. It can be said that there are thousands of styles combined into one body.

For men, it's much simpler, just wash up and use incense.

Open the wooden frame, carry the groom to the middle of the lake, raise the knife and cut off the head.

Dragon Girl couldn't understand, but Dragon Girl couldn't stand it. A sword energy knocked the knife away, but these people seemed to be used to it and just looked at Dragon Girl with a smile.

There were villagers nearby who smiled and explained to Long Nu and Gao Tao seriously: "This lake is about to become a monster, swallowing up the lives of all the children in the village, so someone has to sacrifice blood and sink into the lake to suppress the evil spirit with resentment. In this way, our children

You’ll be back soon.”

"This is ridiculous. Who said that resentment can suppress evil spirits? Resentment can only make evil spirits violent. Why don't you get rid of this monster? Why are they filling the lake with blood sacrifices and not you?"

"Of course the priest said it. The priest can't lie. We will definitely see our child." He was convinced, as if they had seen it before.

After the explanation, it was time to start the blood sacrifice again. Of course the dragon girl refused, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She was not a good person anyway, and this was not a normal place, so she simply killed him.

As soon as the sword came out, the sky was full of sword energy. No one could stop it. Except for the bride and groom, everyone's heads fell to the ground and blood was shed. But the matter was not over. With the white mist, Gao Tao and Long Nu came back again.

When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we heard the sound of festive gongs and drums not far away. This time, both of them were a little silent.

The dragon girl swung her sword again and destroyed the village in front of her. This time she didn't care what happened to the bride and groom. However, the white mist rose again and everything was back to the beginning.

Now it's not what happened to the bride and groom, but what happened to the two of them. It's obvious that they were trapped, most likely due to illusory supernatural powers that they didn't understand.

The dragon girl tried again, using the blizzard field to arouse the energy of heaven and earth to forcefully break through this illusion, but it was useless. It seemed to be the real world. This really touched the knowledge blind spot of the master and the disciple.

Back to the beginning again, this time the situation has changed. A handsome man appeared in front of them, holding a sky blue sword.

"You two don't need to waste your efforts. It's not that this place cannot be broken by force, but it's a matter of whether the strength is sufficient. If you can't get out before dawn, you will become a part of this place."

"Who is Xiongtai? Why are you here? And how do you know?" Gao Tao asked.

"Who am I? I am just a dead person trapped here forever. Not only I know it, but everyone here knows that there are many people like me. All this happened yesterday and cannot be changed.

It won't work." As he spoke, his expression became a little numb, and he staggered into the villagers.

The plot started again. This time Gao Tao and Long Nu didn't stop it, they just watched it happen.

The groom's head was beheaded, his blood flowed into the lake, and his body was dumped in a mass grave.

The bride was defiled by the villagers, heartbroken, painted with tadpole words all over her body, and sank to the bottom of the lake in a blood-colored coffin.

But it wasn't over yet. There was a violent noise in the lake. Children appeared on the shore one after another, running towards their parents. The villagers danced and cheered.

Gao Tao looked a little doubtful about life. Is this really okay? This should not be a complete reappearance of yesterday.

The scene suddenly stopped, the white mist rose again, and the two of them returned to the beginning again.

This time Gao Tao did not move, but sat cross-legged on the side, opening his eyes to the world, and releasing his mental power in waves. Seeing this, Long Nu also calmed down, and sat cross-legged next to Gao Tao.

It seemed that the excitement in the distance had nothing to do with them.

The dragon girl looked at the woman who appeared in front of her, it was the bride in her wedding dress.

"Why you?" Dragon Girl asked.

"Because it is destined. Everything in this world has been arranged long ago. This is my fate."

"Can I tell you a story?"

The dragon girl nodded.

"There used to be a lake here. I don't know that day, and I don't know why. This lake actually had an ignorant inspiration and had the tendency to turn into a monster. It followed its instinct and swallowed up some children in the village who were playing in the water."

"This caused panic in the villagers and reported it to the priest. The priest discovered the lake that was about to turn into a demon. However, it did not kill the demon. Instead, it secretly fed the lake with its children. Soon the lake became a little strange.

It's bloody, but the villagers thought it was a monster, how ridiculous."

"Then the priest told the villagers that if they want the children to come back, they must suppress the evil spirit with resentment, so that the children can come back to life. The villagers unconditionally trust the priest's words. This resentful person is me, and I was chosen as the resentful person.

People, I have lost my parents since I was a child, and I have been looked down upon. When I grew up and got married, my husband was killed in front of my eyes, and I was defiled by a village of beasts. Do you think I am resentful enough?"

"The priest wants to use me to fill the lake. He wants to lure the lake demon to be born early, refine her when she is born, and turn her into food for his promotion. It's a pity, God is not as good as man. My resentment and the newborn spirit

The perfect fusion of intelligence and wisdom gave birth to a monster like me."

"Although he has a body, he is invisible, an unkillable monster, so I ate him and these villagers, preserving their memories, fulfilling their wishes, and reuniting them with their children. And I also

Let them relive yesterday again and again, and you will see how happy they are."

The bride became a little sad: "The only thing I have no memory of is my husband. He is also a miserable man. I can't bear to make him suffer again and again. I only keep him in my memory."

The dragon girl didn't know what to say at this time. She was probably only old in age and had almost zero experience. She was not even as old as the woman in front of her. Her brain had already shut down.

He quickly looked back at Gao Tao, and saw Gao Tao's eyes shining with silvery white light as he looked straight at the bride in her wedding dress.

The dragon girl suddenly drew her sword and stabbed the bride, but any attack passed through her and had no effect. She also thought that she was a lake monster, so she froze the entire lake with a thought. However, the lake monster was not affected at all, nor did she.

Take action and watch the dragon girl destroy the world.

He just sighed leisurely: "The sky is coming up, and we will soon be one."

Dragon Girl also calmed down and stood in front of Gao Tao without saying a word, protecting him. Like Gao Tao, she was not afraid of death, but just a little unwilling to do so.

This is when Gao Tao stood up and came to Longnu: "Let me think about it, I haven't given you a gift yet, so I will give you a small gift today."

Gao Tao opened his hands. In his eyes, this world is a tomb, a tomb built in a lake. The lake is the lake of the lake monster, and the tomb is the bride's grave. As long as it is an illusion, as long as he can see the true form, he will be impressed by it.

It can be broken.

With both hands flat, one hand is sky, the other is earth, spiritual power surges out, blending into the sky, the earth, the lake, and the invisible tomb.

The lake demon felt something was wrong and jumped over, but it was too late. She didn't have much attack power. She and the world were immobilized by Gao Tao.

Gao Tao was doing what the sacrifice failed to accomplish, he was refining the world, and he saw that the world slowly revealed its original shape, a huge tomb on the lake.

The tomb is shrinking visibly to the naked eye, slowly turning into a big drop of water. As the dust continues to fall, the drop of water is still shrinking. This dust is actually the memory of the whole village. Gao Tao is going to clean it and repopulate it.

In the end, there was no suspense and it was crushed into a sky-blue drop of water half the size of a palm. In the middle was a small grave, on which the bride sat, looking at the sky speechlessly.
