Kneeling and begging the ancestors to be a good man

Chapter 444 Xiwu Village【21】Elixir of Immortality

"..."

silence.

There was a long silence.

A race burdened with the curse of immortality, good at medical skills, hiding in the deep mountains and wild forests, should have become a desirable folk legend, but their final fate has made them feel cold and terrifying.

Unable to die.

Sanity is swallowed up.

Eventually becoming The Walking Dead.

Jiang Ke and Song Yiyuan looked solemn and looked at Mo Qing almost immediately.

Mo Qing was very calm, as if he had expected it: "They and I are the same kind, right?"

In fact, as early as when she caught the "monster" and experimented on the other person, she realized that they were the same kind.

They have the same characteristic - the scars of fire are difficult to recover.

She didn't know why they turned into monsters, irrational, living only on instinct, hiding in the night, but she knew that such creatures should not exist in the world.

So she acted on instinct——

Kill them.

"Ah."

Jingshi nodded.

He continued: "Even if you haven't slept for a hundred years, you can still live with this appearance until now."

After Shen Chen glanced at Mo Qing, Jing Shi finally began to tell Mo Qing's story: "Since you fell asleep, Chief Jiang discovered that you are not a reformed person. Your abilities are innate and have nothing to do with Liu Jue's perverted experiments. It doesn’t matter.”

"So we set out to find your species."

"The "Collection of One Hundred Poisons" you left behind played a big role - your tribe was attracted by "The Collection of One Hundred Poisons" and took the initiative to come to your door. They also saw the medical equipment we moved out of the ancient tomb. After talking with them, they realized You may be one of his clan members, so after going back to talk to the clan leader, you found Chief Jiang and revealed your identity."

"Why?" Mo Qing was puzzled, "Isn't there a clan rule? Why would Jiang Yan make an exception?"

"Because they need you."

"I?"

Mo Qing was confused at first, then frowned.

"They need you to kill them," Itoki said.

Mo Qing was startled, as something suddenly seemed to fall down, making her heart sink.

Jing Shi said slowly:

"After they are transformed into irrational monsters, they will never be killed again. Even if they are cut into pieces of meat, these pieces of meat are still active - they are still part of them."

"Only the blood of the saints of the same race can grant them death."

"Although they are of the same race as you, they are different from you. They have no talents that are different from ordinary people, and their blood has no medicinal value. Apart from longer lifespan and stronger body, they are generally the same as ordinary people. Only extremely The special genes will give them the physical characteristics after they transform into monsters from birth."

"Because this special gene only exists in women, they call people with this special gene saints."

"Their saint has disappeared for a thousand years, and the village is surrounded by the monsters you see. Sometimes these monsters will attack people outside in the fog. In order to avoid more disasters, the villagers chose to reduce their fertility. The fewer people there are, the fewer tragedies there will be.”

"But luck favored them. More than a hundred years ago, when there were only thirty or so households left in the village, the saint of Xiwu Village finally appeared again and gave them hope of death."

"But when the little saint was three years old, she walked out of Xiwu Village in a heavy fog and lost track of her."

Speaking of this, Jing Shi looked at Mo Qing: "You are that little saint. After you walked out of Xiwu Village, you wandered for a while and then you were picked up by Liu Jue."

Everything is a coincidence.

By chance, Liu Jue picked up this unique genetic treasure.

It happened that Liu Jue was studying how to transform people, and Mo Qing fit his ideal characteristics of transforming people.

As a result, the "human transformation experiment was successful" incident was created.

Therefore, seeing the hope of success, Liu Jue devoted himself to experiments even more crazily... But there was no second Mo Qing in the world, and his success never appeared again.

After a long silence, Mo Qing glanced at the darkness in the distance.

She said: "Over the past hundred years, the villagers have gradually transformed into those living corpses, and Abu is the only one left?"

Jing Shi nodded: "Yeah."

Mo Qing paused: "Is there no one else alive?"

Very strange.

For a long-lived village with more than 30 families left more than a hundred years ago, even if there were no newborns, they should not have perished in such a short period of time.

Is it possible that the village is full of old people who are on the verge of alienation?

Not right either.

If so, how was she born? She couldn't be the product of two old people who were about to alienate, right?

"Yes." Jing Shi understood what Mo Qing meant, and frowned before saying slowly, "Since you disappeared, your parents and the younger generation of the clan have spontaneously gone out to look for you. Some will send news back regularly, and some will There was no news as soon as he left - but since the village chief was alienated, the messengers disappeared. Of course, more young people encountered troubled times when they went out, and they threw themselves into it without hesitation, and then there was no news. "

That was a special era.

Everyone who walks out of Xiwu Village has a compassionate heart; once they enter the world, no one can escape from it.

Longevity is a curse to them.

Young bodies are not cursed, they will be injured, hurt, and die. The younger they are, the more they look like ordinary people, so they may become one of the countless people who dedicated themselves silently, the bones of heroes, but no one knows about it.

When the village chief was still sensible, he would always sit at the entrance of the village and sit there all day long.

He occasionally chatted with Jingshi, talking about the long history of their race, about their support for each other in their long and meaningless lives, and about the wars they experienced again and again and the young people who threw themselves into troubled times.

At the end of the conversation, he said: "After so many dynasties have changed, I always advise young people to come back, because victory can't change anything, it just increases casualties. Only this time..."

Only this time, he never stayed.

Because the coming new era is worth it. Even if the price is the destruction of their race.

*

As Jingshi said, Abu himself came back.

He brought back food, biscuits, self-heating rice and mineral water, but this time there was no water in the backpack.

He delivered the backpack to Song Yiyuan.

Song Yiyuan was stunned for a long time, looking at Abu's alienated face and seeing his alien eyes that were clear and clean, suddenly his heart felt sour, and he took the backpack in a daze but cautiously.

"Abu."

Jing Shi shouted, and Abu looked back and immediately flashed away like the wind, hiding in the darkness behind Jing Shi.

Jingshi said: "Let's eat something first."

Song Yiyuan had no appetite, but he still sat with Jing Shi, Mo Qing, and Jiang Ke. Everyone opened a box of self-heating rice to be heated, and held a biscuit in their hands.

"Abu is the last person in the village. His intelligence has degraded to the level of a three- or four-year-old, and he will be completely alienated soon." Jingshi introduced Abu in the shadow, "He knows that I come here occasionally, and I often clean the room, stock up on food, and... I won’t hurt the people I brought back.”

Like an old man suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

Memory gradually declines, and not many people can remember, but they will do things based on some instincts.

For example, if he thinks that someone will come back, he will clean the room regularly, look for food when he has time, and even plow the land when he is awake. However, such moments are rare, and often a piece of land will be cleared before it is fully cultivated. Grass covered.

He is obviously alive, but he is dying little by little. Song Yiyuan once saw Alzheimer's patients in the hospital. Thinking of the irreversible tragedy, he couldn't help but muttered: "What a curse" while stuffing cookies into his mouth.

Countless people are fascinated by eternal life.

For those who truly have eternal life, it is a real curse.

Mo Qing suddenly said, "Then can I send you on your way one by one?"

"..."

The three of them looked at her in unison, their eyes a little strange.

As expected of her.

What he says is always so inappropriate.

"Oh no, you shouldn't die so early -" Mo Qing tilted his head slightly and turned his gaze to the well, "right?"

"Ah."

Jingshi paused for a moment and finally nodded.

Even Song Yiyuan was not surprised by this - after all, Jing Shi was from the Republic of China period, and his appearance has not changed even after he has lived to this day, which is almost the same as the people in Xiwu Village.

Song Yiyuan asked: "How did you do it? Is there really a way for ordinary people to live forever?"

Jingshi said: "Yes."

Song Yiyuan broke into a cold sweat.

Eternal life clan, the method of eternal life... If this news spreads, it will probably cause chaos in the world. No wonder the "New World" wants to come to Xiwu Village at all costs.

Well time:

"The Yongsheng clan was targeted a long time ago. The place they used to live in was called Loulan. Later, Loulan was destroyed. After about three hundred years of wandering, they finally settled here."

"In the past three hundred years, they have been hunted and lived in anonymity, but they were still found and their tribesmen were captured - once, those people captured their saint."

"The Saint has always been the most talented person in the race. She has perfectly inherited the ancestral medical skills. She is the only one who is most likely to develop the method of immortality."

"She did succeed."

"She couldn't bear the suffering of her people, so she used herself as a medicine to refine three elixirs of longevity - you can understand them as ultra-modern genetic medicines."

"This kind of medicine can change the genes of ordinary people, extend the life span of individuals, enhance body functions, and become people of their clan. But the final outcome will be the same as them."

"However, the people who were chasing them failed to live forever as they wished. The moment the genetic potion was successfully refined, the Immortal clan successfully counterattacked without leaving a single person alive. After the Saintess was gone, the Immortal clan spent several decades wandering around. During his life, he gave away two immortality pills, and finally came to Xiwu Village with the only one left. "

Song Yiyuan was stunned for a while.

After a while, he asked: "There are only three immortality pills at the cost of the saint's life, and the last one was given to you so easily?"

"Ah."

Jing Shi pursed his lower lip inadvertently.

He said: "For ordinary people, the elixir of life is a priceless treasure. For them, it is just ordinary and has no meaning."

Moreover, the village chief gave him the elixir of immortality not without conditions.

The village chief knew that Mo Qing would wake up in a hundred years, and they needed someone to live until then to pass the news on to Mo Qing so that Mo Qing could bring closure to their tribe.

Perhaps the village chief also hopes that he will not be too lonely after watching the birth of the little saint into a new era.

The old friend is still there.

This is the greatest gift he gave to the little saint.

After Mo finished listening, he didn't react much. He picked up the self-heating rice and took two bites. Suddenly something occurred to him and he pointed at Jiang Ke beside him: "What about him? You took the last medicine, and he followed The way you live until now is different."

"..."

Song Yiyuan's pupils suddenly shook as he felt that he had heard something terrible.

! !

What kind of monsters are you!

"Yes. He was on the verge of death at the time. It was the village chief who relied on ancient methods to survive -" Jing Shi looked at Jiang Ke, his eyes gradually cooling down, "He is not Jiang Yan. Mo Qing, if you want Chief Jiang to come back, you must kill him." "

Song Yiyuan: "..."

What a horrifying development this is!

Song Yiyuan felt that he was not worthy of appearing here!

Aren't we good brothers in the same department? Why do we have to fight and kill each other? !

Mo Qing raised his eyebrows with one hand, picked up a piece of potato with chopsticks and put it in his mouth. After swallowing it slowly, he looked at Jiang Ke slightly and said in a casual tone: "He asked me to kill you."

Jiang Ke was not as carefree as she was, but his expression was calm, without any heaviness or tension.

"I heard it," he said.

After that, he said: "I can't win, so you can kill me as you watch."

Lying down.

Anyway, I couldn't give him an answer.

If Jing Shi wanted his life, he would resist, but if Mo Qing wanted his life, he would give it to her.

His life doesn't mean much anyway.

"He said so." Mo Qing pointed at Jiang Ke, and then gave Jing Shi an explanation, "Since your life is mine, wait until I think about it before killing him."

"..."

Jingshi's expression changed again and again.

But no matter how stupid he was, he knew that Mo Qing had no murderous intention towards Jiang Ke, and once Mo Qing knew about this matter, the decision-making power would be in Mo Qing's hands, and his opinion was not important.

Only he knew that after giving up the initiative, he felt quietly relieved.

"Can you please stop killing each other?" Song Yiyuan's mouth twitched fiercely, "Now is a society governed by the rule of law. Can you two...three new antiques have some sense of the rule of law?"

Mo Qing took a few bites of rice and noticed that his rice was untouched.

So as if he didn't hear Song Yiyuan's words, he pointed at his self-heating rice: "Don't you want to eat it?"

"...don't eat."

Thinking of the bloody backpack, Song Yiyuan couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach.

The biscuits I just swallowed can't stay in my stomach anymore.

"Give it to me, I still need to replenish my body."

Mo Qing grabbed his rice easily.

Song Yiyuan almost choked on himself: "You? Replenish your body?"

You pervert who can run faster than the wind and can break rocks with one punch...want to replenish your body? !

"Yes," Mo Qing said matter-of-factly, his hand paused unconsciously, and he continued to speak in a casual tone, "I have to kill monsters in these two days. I have to recharge my batteries, otherwise my body will not be able to bear it."
