Villager of Destiny

When I went down the mountain, my mood became heavier and heavier.

The more I know, the further away I feel from the answers I want to know.

Not only that, but even the feeling of powerlessness is getting heavier.

Because from the current point of view, if what the Lord of Maoshan said is true, then the city god who almost killed me in Niang'er Village may be the real city god.

This also means that unless I really become the real earth fairy that the Lord of Maoshan said, otherwise, even if I go back to Niang'er Village, I'm afraid I won't have such a good result.

The only consolation now is that according to what the Lord of Maoshan said, I can go back to Niang'er Village, maybe it proves that I have enough strength.

It's just this premise that requires me to take that last step.

That is, to survive the last chance given to me by Lord Taishan.

in other words.

When I found the last town spirit coffin, I was very likely to die, because at that time I was facing Lord Taishan who really wanted to kill me.

It is an existence that is very likely to be more powerful than a real god.

I want to survive in the hands of such an existence, and at present, I see no hope.

When I was on the iron lump, Liu Shan woke up at some point. He glanced at me, then yawned and said, "You're back, so fast?"

"Maoshan didn't make things difficult for you?"

I shook my head and said, "No."

Liu Shan glanced at Mao Shan's direction and nodded.

"That's fine."

"It seems that the guy is quite sensible."

"Huh?" I looked at him.

Liu Shan smiled and said, "I mean, he must know about your relationship with Daoist Li, so he doesn't dare to embarrass you."

"But it's so late, why didn't he let you stay up there for one night?"

I didn't go to expose Liu Shan, and said lightly: "Stay here, I thought it would not be good for you to wait down there alone, so I came down."

Liu Shan glanced at me.

"You still have a conscience, kid."

I shrugged my shoulders, not in the mood to chat with him, took out the death bell and asked, "Do you know this thing?"

Liu Shan took a look, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but the surprise disappeared soon, and he shook his head and said, "What is this?"

"I don't know what you guys have."

I said angrily, "Okay, just stop pretending."

"You really think I'm a fool?"

Liu Shan glanced at me, and then sighed: "You are not a fool in the first place."

I froze for a moment, and after a while I retorted: "That's what I pretended."

"Then only you know." Liu Shan said, took the death bell, and after looking at it for a while, he said, "I am willing to give you this thing."

"However, I advise you not to take this thing out directly when you arrive at the corpse village, unless you have to."

"Why?" I wondered.

"This thing is extremely important to the lineage of exorcising corpses."

Liu Shan didn't pretend to be stupid again this time, and explained bluntly: "It was built by the first ancestor of the dead lineage. It not only has great control over the walking dead, but also a symbol of status."

"If the people who drive the corpses get this thing, it means that they can order the entire corpses."

"If you take it out directly, it will definitely attract the attention of the corpse-killing faction. Even if you are not weak now, the corpse-killing faction still has a lot of secrets."

Speaking of this, Liu Shan handed the death bell back to me.

"But it's not impossible for you to use it."

"When you confirm the existence of the Lingling Coffin, you can use it to order the walking corpse to find the entrance to Huangquan Road for you."

"At that time, the function of this thing will be able to protect you."

"It seems that you know a lot." I put away the corpse bell and said with a smile.

Liu Shan looked around, then asked in confusion, "What did I just say?"

I didn't bother to pay attention to his stupid look, and continued: "The Lord of Maoshan gave me this thing because he wanted me to find a place for Maoshan to stay after returning to Niang'er Village."

"You agreed?" Liu Shan returned to his serious look.

I nodded and said, "I agree."

Liu Shan narrowed his eyes slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "It's fine to agree."

"Aside from this, he didn't ask for anything else, did he?"

I shook my head.

"Nothing."

"Yeah." Liu Shan yawned, "Take a rest, tomorrow morning, we will continue our journey to the corpse village."

I looked at Liu Shan who had continued to close his eyes, and looked away after a while.

From the current point of view, Liu Shan's identity is definitely not simple.

Then you can be sure.

The game set up by the old smoker started after the old lunatic left.

Because before the old smoker came to Niang'er Village, I had already met Liu Shan once.

I just don't know what role Liu Shan plays in this.

After slightly sighing, I didn't think about it any more, and leaned on the seat and began to close my eyes and meditate.

The night passed like that.

In the early morning, Liu Shan and Liu Shan ate some dry food at will, and we continued to set off for the corpse village.

But before I left, I took another look at Maoshan.

To my surprise, in just one night, the Maoshan Mountain I saw had undergone earth-shaking changes. At first glance, it became very ordinary, like a short mountain.

It was as if what I had seen before was all my hallucination.

As if seeing my doubts, Liu Shan said lightly: "Maoshan has always been like this."

"Pretending to be mysterious."

"It's just a blindfold."

"Don't be too surprised."

I glanced at him, and he closed his mouth again, continuing to drive the iron lump seriously.

I was a little helpless, thought for a while and asked, "How much do you know about the lineage of exorcising corpses?"

Liu Shan pondered for a moment and said: "The current line of exorcising corpses is quite special."

"Originally, the line of exorcising corpses is divided into three branches."

"Refining corpses, controlling corpses, and driving corpses respectively."

"Among them, the corpse-refining line has the largest number of people. Their method is to refine the corpses into walking corpses, which can be regarded as serving the other two lines."

"Reining corpses and driving corpses are actually similar, they can be regarded as two branches."

"It's just that controlling the corpse is more domineering. They almost completely erase the consciousness of the walking corpse, making it impossible for the walking corpse to go any further."

"Casting corpses is the most orthodox."

"The walking corpses they drive will continue to advance. The powerful ones can control the bones, and there are a lot of them."

"Of course, this is the original."

"In today's lineage of expelling corpses, there should be only the orthodoxy of exorcising corpses."

"Whether it is refining corpses or controlling corpses, they are all mastered by this lineage, which also makes the methods of exorcising corpses today complicated."

"But it's also stronger."

"After all, if you have more means, you will have more abilities."

"The strongest ability can control the bones?" I asked a little surprised.

If only so.

Then driving the corpses will not put so much pressure on me.

"That's just the surface."

"And there's a difference if it's not bones."

"City God's bone, that's not an ordinary unmelted bone."
