Chapter 186 Immortality
Under the temptation of Ah Puppet and driven by his inner greed, the people of Liu Village made a deal with A Puppet:
Ah Puppet tried to save the lives of the villagers, preventing them from being swallowed by the dead air of the well water, and the villagers needed to feed A Puppet with fresh flesh and blood to make her stronger.

For Ah Puppet, it is certainly possible to cultivate by absorbing the resentment and evil energy between the heaven and the earth, but it is too slow after all. She has spent hundreds of years, but there is no way to escape from here.

However, not long ago, she sucked up the three of Liu Jia and the others, and it seemed that a huge force had been injected into her body, which was completely comparable to the cultivation base of the past ten or twenty years.

This made her realize that this is a convenient path of cultivation.

When her cultivation base is strong enough to exceed the Taoist priest's skill in the past, maybe she will be able to break free from the shackles, leave the bottom of the well, and live a happy life in the world.

After the two sides negotiated, Ah Puppet said to the villagers:

"You cut your wrists, drip your blood into the well, and establish a contract with me. I will control the dead air in your body and prevent it from spreading."

The villagers followed suit one after another, and from then on, their lives depended entirely on A Puppet.

After the bleeding, the village head expressed his embarrassment:
"Senior, the situation is not good these days, and the war has just ended, and we have barely settled down. We don't know where to find someone for you."

"Like our backcountry, ordinary people won't come here, so what should we do?"

A puppet was silent for a moment, and said:
"It's okay, as long as you look for it, one counts as one, and throw them all down for me."

The villagers didn't expect that the ancestors at the bottom of the well were so talkative, not only did they not let them die, they didn't even set a deadline for their tasks.

Could it be that this ancestor has stayed at the bottom of the well for too long and has no understanding of the world?
The villagers looked at each other a few times without saying anything, and after assuring Ah Puppet that they would complete the task well, they left one after another.

They stayed away from the well, and went to the open space in front of Mrs. Liu at the entrance of the village. They thought that Ah Puppet could not hear their voices, so they let go of their voices and said:
"Village chief, what should we do now? Where can we find someone for her?"

"Let's go out and try our luck. Although the war has just ended, there are still many places that are not stable, and it's not like there are no escapees passing by. If we can be tricked, it won't be considered a breach of contract." The village chief said.

"Then let the women in our village go out. Women are weak and easy to win people's trust." Another person suggested.

Everyone, you glanced at me and said in one sentence, thinking about how to complete the task of Ah Puppet.

But Mrs. Liu's words opened up new ideas for everyone:

"Why should we do what she says?"

"She has already controlled the death energy in us. We shouldn't die now. We just need to fool her and tell her that we are looking for it. It's just that there are few people in the mountains and we can't find fresh flesh and blood. Isn't that all right?"

"Let's procrastinate until we are five or sixty years old. Our people's birthday is approaching and we are dying. Isn't it good?"

When the villagers heard this, it seemed that this was also a road, but someone asked again:
"Don't you want to live forever?"

"What's the meaning of longevity? Look at the ancestor at the bottom of the well, who lived for hundreds of years, so what about longevity? It's not like being trapped at the bottom of the well all the time, unable to go anywhere." Liu Pozi said, "What's more, life is so hard, Without even food, Changsheng is just going on living."

After listening to Mrs. Liu's words, the village head felt that it was feasible, so he nodded and said:
"That's right, we have experienced wars and famines, and we have almost lived enough for a lifetime. There is no need to continue to suffer, it is better to let nature take its course."

"We dragged her along, but our descendants, those who have never drank well water, dare not give them to drink again, lest they be controlled again."

"When our group of people dies, the future generations will be healthy and healthy."

After this time, the villagers reached a consensus. They did not follow the agreement to find fresh flesh and blood to feed A Puppet, but went to lie to her from time to time.

They relied on the fact that Ah Puppet couldn't get out and didn't understand the outside world, so they made up things at will.

Ah Puppet really didn't anger them, he didn't even urge them, which created an illusion for the villagers, making them think that their plan had really succeeded.

The villagers even thought, what kind of cultivation and ancestors are nothing more than that.

Didn't he get scammed by them?
Just when they thought they could rest easy from now on, something happened——

The mayor is dead.

During the busy farming season, when everyone was working in the fields, the village chief fell to the ground in full view. When people around him ran over to look, they found that he was out of breath.

The villagers didn't feel angry, nor did they feel that Ah Puppet broke his promise, because the village chief was old.

The village head is already in his 70s. It is very good to survive the war and famine.

He is the oldest old man in the village. According to time, it is normal for him to die in his 70s.

So, no one suspects anything.

They set up a mourning hall for the village head, held a funeral, and planned to choose a date for burial.

Unexpectedly, after a night of rest, the village chief came back to life again. He sat up from the coffin, looked at the surrounding villagers dressed in mourning, puzzled:

"What's the matter? Who's dead? Why are you all dressed up like this?"

The village chief who came back to life behaved exactly like a normal person, and the villagers were not afraid of him, so they told the whole story in one go.

The village head was very surprised. He touched his body subconsciously, but found an amazing fact:

He is indeed dead.

He has no heartbeat, no breathing, and no human hunger. He is just a living dead man with a conscious soul and a shell in his life.

This discovery made the villagers silent, and no one knew why this happened.

But they didn't dare to ask Ah Puppet, because they deceived A Puppet first and failed to complete the task that A Puppet asked, and they were afraid of being blamed by A Puppet.

In the days that followed, everyone in the village, like the head of the village, first died and then came back to life.

The villagers who drank the well water turned into living dead one by one, and they achieved longevity in another sense.

But at the same time, there was no newborn in the village.

The villagers originally planned to renege on their promise to A Gui, so that their descendants would grow up healthy without drinking the well water, but they had no descendants.

The moment they drank the well water, their bodies had already begun to decay, and they had long since lost the ability to pass on the family line. They would live forever in this world.

Is the eternal life of immortality really what they want?
No, this is terrible.

They have no offspring, and cannot continue their bloodline; they even have to worry about it, that one day people outside will discover the secret and study them as monsters.

They can only shrink in this ravine for many years, facing the same group of people forever and ever, suffering and despairing.

what can we do about it?

Go ask Ah Puppet, the ancestor is so capable, she will have a solution, right?
