Chapter 55 Heavy Soul (8)
Author: Longqian Harbor
"What?" I thought I heard it wrong until the village chief asked: "Burn her? Master Qingshui, did I hear it correctly?"
Qingshui looked serious and shouted: "Do you think my expression looks like a joke? Hurry up! It's too late if it's later."
The village chief looked troubled. He didn't know what to do. The villagers all looked at each other, waiting for the village chief to speak.
The female ghost braved the sun's rays, endured the pain of being burned, and stood in front of Huahua.
I couldn't stand listening anymore, so I stood up and said, "May I ask Master Qingshui, why did you burn Huahua to death? She is only an eight-year-old child. How can you bear to do this?"
Taoist priest Qingshui sighed and said: "Oh! I don't want to either, but look at her current appearance, there is still a little bit of childishness in her. By the time another head grows on the back of her head, it will be too late."
Seeing that the village chief was still hesitant, Taoist Qingshui shouted: "Do you want the whole village to be like her?"
"village head……"
The villagers looked at the village chief eagerly. Some people had already prepared firewood and were waiting for the village chief to speak.
The village chief watched Huahua grow up, but for the sake of the hundreds of people in the village, she gritted her teeth and said, "Huahua, don't blame grandpa. I also think about the people in our village."
Then the village chief said to everyone: "Burn it!"
Fugui, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke and cried: "Village chief, don't burn me! Just spare the child! It's all my fault. I shouldn't be so obsessed with it. If you want to burn me, just burn me! Please let me go."
Let’s spend some time!”
Jiao Hong also realized the seriousness of the matter at this moment, and cried: "Village chief, you can't burn it! You can't burn it!"
The villagers didn't care about this or that. Now that the village chief had spoken, they became unscrupulous.
Four or five people came from the crowd and pushed Fugui and Jiaohong to the ground without any explanation.
Fugui struggled desperately, but he was weak and could only let others manipulate him.
The female ghost was so burned by the sun that she was on her deathbed, unable to resist at all. She could only watch helplessly as Huahua screamed in agony.
Several more people came up and carried the bundled Huahua to a high platform. The high platform was surrounded by hay and firewood. Gouzi and others held torches and waited for the village chief to speak.
The village chief waved his hand and said: "Burn it!"
The dog got the instruction and raised the torch to burn the flowers.
"Wait!"
At this critical moment, someone in the crowd shouted loudly. Everyone looked for the sound and their eyes fell on Yanzi.
Yes, it was Yanzi who spoke. Yanzi slowly walked to the front of the high platform, with his back to Huahua.
"You can't burn her."
Everyone looked at him in confusion, and Gouzi bravely said: "Yan... Yanzi, we are usually afraid of you, but now it is related to the safety of the entire village. If you do this, you are going against the whole village."
"Hmph!" Yanzi snorted coldly and said loudly again: "I said we can't burn her to death."
The village chief walked up to the front and said, "Yanzi, you can do whatever you want normally, but today I can't do anything to you."
At some point, Yanzi had a dagger in his hand. He played with the dagger in his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "You can try it and see if the knife in my hand agrees."
Yanzi is a well-known ruthless person in the village. His trademark is to fight without losing his life. Almost all the young people in the village have been beaten by him. Seeing him is like seeing a mouse seeing a cat.
Gouzi and others wanted to step forward, but when they saw the dagger in Yanzi's hand, they were all afraid and did not dare to step forward.
I quietly watched everything in front of me. As soon as Yanzi appeared, I noticed that Qing Shui's eyes had been staring at him.
In fact, I don't understand why Yanzi came to the fore when this was originally a matter for Fugui's family.
"Junior brother, what about me?"
Taoist Master Qingshui finally spoke when everyone was in a stalemate.
Yanzi burst out laughing when he saw Taoist Master Qingshui appear.
"Senior brother, I know this is your plan. Don't you just want to lure me out?"
Taoist Master Qingshui shook his head and said: "You are only half right. It is true that I lured you out, and it is also true that I want to burn her to death."
"You are so ruthless." Yanzi said with a fierce look in his eyes, "You haven't changed at all after all these years, you are still so ruthless."
After hearing this, Taoist Master Qingshui sneered and said, "Am I ruthless? Have you forgotten how you betrayed the master? The entire Kunlun Taoist Temple, with more than fifty people, all had their bones and hearts ripped out by you. If I hadn't gone out to travel, I'm afraid...
I'm going to suffer from your murderous attacks."
"Hahaha, what do you know!" Yanzi said disdainfully: "If you want to live forever, isn't it normal to sacrifice a few people!"
Seeing Yanzi speak so lightly, even I wanted to go up and slap him.
"You have gone crazy and are hopeless." Taoist Master Qingshui shook his head helplessly. "Master has told us a long time ago not to believe in the book "Warlock Dialects", but you just don't listen."
"That's enough." Yanzi shouted: "You are as ignorant as the master and don't understand anything. Look at me now, I don't know how many times I am younger than you."
Qing Shui was furious and shouted: "What you call immortality is just borrowing other people's bodies. For your own selfishness, you won't even let children go. Even if someone like you can live forever, what's the use?"
"Warlock's Dialect" is a Taoist forbidden book, which records several evil arts such as immortality, human poison, and head-lowering techniques.
It was collected and sealed by Taoist Master Xuanzhen in the underground palace of Kunlun Taoist Temple. Taoist Master Xuanzhen is the master of Taoist Master Qingshui and Yanzi, and is the leader of the Taoist sect.
It is said that he lived for more than two hundred years and relied on the longevity spell in "The Warlock's Dialect".
Yanzi had been spying on "Warlock Dialect" for a long time. That day, he secretly poisoned the food and killed Taoist Xuanzhen and more than fifty of his disciples.
The Kunlun Taoist Temple, which was once prosperous for a while, has fallen into decline and almost disappeared from the stage of history. Fortunately, Qingshui, who was lucky enough to escape, was gifted and finally made the Kunlun Taoist Temple reappear in the world. However, the Kunlun Taoist Temple has never had the heyday it once had.
"A scum like you doesn't deserve to live forever."
"Who? Who's talking?"
Yanzi looked around for the source of the sound. I pushed through the blocking crowd and came to him.
When Yanzi saw me, he had a wicked smile on his face. "It's really hard to find any place after wearing iron shoes. It took no effort to get it. I didn't expect you to deliver it to the door yourself."
I ignored the meaning of Yanzi's words and said to him viciously: "You simply insulted the word longevity. People like you should go to the eighteenth level of hell."
"Tsk tsk! Senior brother, don't you also want to live forever? How about you cooperate with me and we will divide her." Yanzi said to the confused Qingshui with excitement on his face.
Taoist Master Qingshui didn't understand what Yanzi meant and looked at him doubtfully.
Yanzi explained: "Don't think I don't know. In fact, you also want to live forever, otherwise you wouldn't have peeked at "The Warlock's Dialect"."
