Villager of Destiny

Chapter 42 Eighteen Villagers
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to give it a try.

After all, this is the only clue I found after I came to the Temple of the City God.

Although I'm not sure if this clue can lead me to find the Immortal Sword or Uncle Ghost, it's better than continuing to search aimlessly.

I took out the torch and started trying to light the three incense sticks.

However, weird things happened again.

No matter what I do, the three sticks of incense seem to be unable to burn, even if I put the fire on them, there is still no change.

This made me feel a little depressed immediately.

I picked up the piece of paper and looked at it again. After a while, my eyes stopped on the first sentence on the paper.

The person who points Mao.

The old smoker told me before that the city god chooses a village guard to guard a village for himself, so the first time I saw this paper, I was sure that the person who said it was the village guard .

That is to say, if there is no accident, only the village guards can light these three incense sticks.

It's just that I am also a village guard.

Could it be that only the guardians of Fengling Village can do it?
Thinking of this, I frowned again, feeling a little unwilling.

This is the only clue.

I don't want to just give up.

At this moment, the freshly congealed wound on my hand was torn again because of the continuous use of fire pockets. Although only a little blood flowed out, it made my eyes brighten up.

I bravely tore open the wound on my finger, and took another bite with my teeth to make the wound bigger, and then squeezed a drop of blood on the incense burner.

As expected

After my blood fell on the incense burner, the three incense sticks that had not made any movement suddenly shook, and then one of them suddenly burned without me taking any action.

And as the incense burned, the statue of the City God behind the altar suddenly made a sound.

"Burning an incense, you can enter the Hall of Soul Suppression!"

With just this sentence, the statue regained its calm.

I was a little disappointed.

Because I want to light the three incense sticks more, besides the Soul Suppressing Hall, I am very curious about the Suppressing Evil Coffin and the Town God's Hall, and I am here to find the Earth Immortal Sword, so every clue is very important to me.

Not to mention there is a ghost uncle waiting for me to save.

I tried to drop a few drops of blood on the censer, but there was no response from the censer without a doubt.

Not only that, but there was a sound from outside. I turned around and saw that the statue at the door was sitting in a gesture of invitation to me. I could tell it at a glance that it was letting me out.

Although I am a bit unwilling, I still dare not linger after seeing this scene. I am afraid that I will be left here like Uncle Ghost. When the time comes, let alone the immortal sword, surviving may be a problem.

At this moment, I also understood what Uncle Ghost said before going up the mountain.

City God's Temple narrowly escaped death.

So far, it does.

It's no wonder that those old people were uncharacteristically and even frightened when they heard that the Earth Immortal Sword was in the Town God's Temple.

Even at this moment, I feel a little bit uncertain.

I'm not sure I'll be able to get out.

Even though the gate of the Town God's Temple is very close at hand, I have a feeling in my heart that it is no longer so easy for me to go out after entering.

Walking out of the second hall, I began to look for the soul-suppressing hall mentioned in the prompt.

In the end, my eyes stopped on another sub-temple.

After seeing the statue in front of the secondary hall, I suddenly felt a little lucky about my luck, because there were two words written on the back of the statue, Soul Resilience.

That said, I got it right in the first place.

I walked over.

Sure enough, the statue raised its hand again and placed the same black and white picture in front of me.

The difference is that this time the middle position of black and white disappeared, but with previous experience, I dripped my blood on it without much hesitation.

As the door of the palace opened, a chill that penetrated directly into the mind also rushed to the face in an instant.

Not only that, but I heard faint wailing.

cry.

These voices came from inside, very scary and terrifying.

My scalp was a little numb, but I went in anyway.

What made my back chill was that there were kneeling skeletons inside, and a piece of yellow paper was pasted on each skeleton.

It is the same as what I saw on the black coffin in the main hall before, and it should be the Taoist talisman mentioned by Uncle Ghost.

I counted, and there were eighteen in total.

And in the center of the eighteen skeletons is a stone tablet with a line of scarlet characters on it.

"The souls of the guardians of Fengling Village are suppressed here!"

Those short words made my eyelids twitch wildly.

All the people kneeling here are the guardians of Fengling Village?

What mistake did they make, why do they still have to kneel here after death, and still stick Taoist talismans?

My first reaction was to leave.

Because I am also a villager.

When I saw this scene, I instinctively shuddered.

But soon I saw a few words on the tablet.

"Enter, bye!"

"Worshipers, you can burn another incense stick!"

Seeing these words, I immediately hesitated.

Although I feel like it's all a coincidence.

I lit an incense to come here, and then let me kneel down to the remains of these village guards so that I can light another incense. Is there really such a coincidence?

Or is this just a rule in this Town God's Temple?

I thought.

After a while I decided to try again.

Because even if I always feel that something is wrong, I seem to have no choice. Even if I leave here now, I still have to find a way to find new clues, unless I can enter the hall to rescue Uncle Ghost, and then directly find the Immortal Sword.

But that's clearly impossible.

So even if I feel like being led by the nose, I can only bite the bullet and follow through.

In other words, I actually still have a certain fluke mentality.

Without any further hesitation, I knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to the eighteen skeletons.

Eighteen remains may seem like a lot, but it didn't take me long to kowtow to them, and I finished it soon.

And after I stood up, the eighteen remains spoke at the same time.

"I have worshiped, I can burn the second incense!"

As before, after saying this sentence, the eighteen remains became calm again, as if nothing had happened, and the statue at the door also moved again.

The same is doing the gesture of asking me to go out.

With the first experience, I calmed down a lot. After leaving the Hall of Souls, I went straight to the second hall where the three incense sticks were placed.

To my surprise, the incense that I had already lit in the secondary hall was inexplicably extinguished.

Not only that, but one hand of the corpse sitting on the futon was placed on the incense burner.

Looking at this scene, I couldn't help but have a bad premonition.
