Villager of Destiny

When I left the corpse village, I didn't relax. Instead, I felt that the pressure was much greater than before.

The pressure made me feel out of breath.

It finally made me understand what true loneliness is.

Fortunately, Liu Shan is still there.

Although he feels very special to me.

Not like friends.

Even with Liu Buyi's relationship, it doesn't seem like we have too much communication between the two of us. He seems to be just a ferryman. According to Li Bowen, or the old smoker, or other people's instructions, every time I want to leave Appear in one place and send me to the next place.

When I saw him, he was leaning against the iron lump like every time before, wondering what he was thinking, and when he saw me coming out, he looked at me with a smile and greeted me.

I have long been used to this, and I sat directly on the iron lump.

I waited until he had iron bumps on him, and then I said, "This time, go back to Niang'er Village?"

I thought he would answer me decisively, but this time he looked at me with a complicated expression and asked me, "Are you ready?"

"After you go back, you really can't go back."

I thought for a while and said, "I always have to go back."

"And this journey, isn't it for this day?"

Seeing what I said, Liu Shan shrugged and said, "Just as long as you're ready."

"This is also the last time I pick you up."

"When you return to Niang'er Village, you can only rely on yourself."

"Stop pretending?" I smiled and said, "Didn't you say you are just an ordinary person?"

"Now it seems that you know much more about Niang'er Village than I do."

Liu Shan smiled awkwardly.

"As far as he is concerned, he is indeed an ordinary person."

"but……"

When the words came to his lips, Liu Shan's eyes became a little more inexplicable, but the inexplicable color quickly disappeared, and he smiled again after a while and said, "You can ask me any questions you have this time."

"As long as I know, I can answer you."

"Really?" I was a little surprised.

Liu Shan nodded.

"It's true."

I smiled and said, "Then tell me, what kind of place is Niang'er Village?"

Liu Shan didn't seem surprised by my question, but after pondering for a moment, he said: "Actually, I can't give you an accurate answer, after all, I am now..."

"However, I still have some understanding."

I looked at him, and I didn't go into what he said.

From what I know of him, he will naturally say what he wants to say. Naturally, he has his own reasons for saying this.

"Then tell me what you know."

I leaned back in my seat and looked out the window.

After a while, Liu Shan said, "In your eyes, what kind of place do you think Niang'er Village is?"

"A dry village." I said, "Since I can remember, Niang'er Village is actually a dry village in my eyes. Except for the old lunatic, there is no one else in the village."

"Even if you showed up in Niang'er Village one after another later, I still didn't see anything."

"So I have always had a question, in your eyes."

"What does Niang'er Village look like?"

This question is a doubt that has always existed in my heart. Even now, after going through the matter of sending horses and driving corpses, and after talking with the Lord of Maoshan, I have always had this doubt about Niang'er Village.

Even if I really become an Earth Immortal now, I can only vaguely feel that Niang'er Village is unusual, but that's all.

"What you see is actually the real Niang'er Village." Liu Shan sighed.

"Then you?" I looked at him incomprehensibly.

Liu Shan thought for a while and said, "What we see is the past."

"The Niang'er Village in the past."

"Or, it's a fake Niang'er Village."

"What do you mean?" Hearing this, I couldn't help frowning.

"You should already know that there are real gods and real immortals in this world."

"Those city gods made by Huangquan Road are just false gods created by Lord Taishan to steal incense, and those living earth immortals you have seen are not real living earth immortals, so to speak. Pseudo-immortal."

I nodded slightly.

I have already understood this point from the Lord of Maoshan.

"What does this have to do with Niang'er Village?"

Liu Shan thought for a while and said, "Whether it's false gods or false immortals, their existence is actually a pawn in this game. It's just that when you appear, it's always the false gods who have the upper hand."

"That's why you appeared."

"You use yourself as a pawn to enter this game, but because of this, if you still lose in this game, you will die completely."

"The Prince of Mount Tai occupies the stage. He is the real god, the earliest god in charge of death."

"And Niang'er Village is the only place that Lord Taishan cannot control."

"Because there is a road to immortality in Niang'er Village."

"The road to immortality?"

I froze for a moment.

The first time I heard the word Dengxian was in Fengling Village. At that time, the old people in Fengling Village stayed in Fengling Village for the purpose of ascending to the immortal with the help of the town spirit coffin.

It was only later that it turned out that Zhen Ling Coffin did not have that ability.

The living immortals they think are just false immortals.

To be precise, he is still a village guard.

But now Liu Shan mentioned the road to immortality again...

I looked at Liu Shan.

Liu Shan thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's not the road to immortality."

"Xian, god is actually a very special word, just like you now, you should be able to feel that you are not that different from people."

I nodded.

"That Niang'er Village..."

Liu Shan continued to explain: "There were originally two roads in this world."

"One is Ming."

"One is a fairy."

"The entrance to Ming is the River of Dead Souls. You can enter Ming by crossing Naihe Bridge and passing through Rashomon. Ming is the destination of most of the dead. In the past, only those who entered Ming were eligible to step into reincarnation, unless they could enter another road. , which is the road to immortality, otherwise, you can only become a ghost."

"The road to immortality does not mean that you can become an immortal after entering that road with the qualifications, but that you can be qualified to enter a higher level of reincarnation after entering the road to immortality."

"Reincarnation?" I frowned.

"what is that?"

"Life and death are reincarnation." Liu Shan thought for a while and said, "If there is life, there must be death, and if there is death, there should be life."

"Life and death complement each other, and the cycle of reincarnation turns, the world has a certain balance."

"only……"

Liu Shan sighed: "The balance will be broken."

"Ming is destroyed in this balance, and because of this, reincarnation no longer turns, so there are a lot of ghosts in this world, you should be able to feel this."

"As for this matter, Lord Taishan, the lord of the underworld, believes that it is not the best choice if the previous balance can be destroyed."

"If the human world and the underworld are reversed, and a new underworld is established, it may be able to re-rotate the reincarnation."

"So."

"That person walked out of the underworld."
