The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 218 Ghost Village
The cut moon hanging in the sky casts white moonlight.

A nearby bonfire was burning.

The whole sheep on the fire is shiny and golden, dripping fat from time to time, falling into the flames, making a "chi chi" sound.

The fragrance is everywhere.

Hei Wa swallowed, reached out and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "Lu Qian, let's... talk while we eat?"

Lu Qian looked at Shu Wanying, nodded, and said, "Yes."

It is a woman's nature to love beauty, and female ghosts are no exception.

Shu Wanying felt that her appearance was not good, so she found a beautiful human skin to cover herself with.Now that she has become Lu Qian's paper bride, wearing this wedding dress and standing in front of Lu Qian, she feels even more ashamed and uncomfortable, so she wants to put on her own human skin first.

Hei Wa heard Lu Qian say "yes", and regardless of other things, immediately ran to the campfire excitedly, looked at a leg of lamb and began to tear it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand, Bai Tan who came after him hit him on the wrist with a fan.

Bai Tan glared at Hei Wa and said, "There are no rules. Go call Xiaofeng and the others to come out and have dinner together."

Hei Wa was interrupted from eating by Bai Tan, full of resentment.Although he was young, he was not completely ignorant, knowing that what Bai Tan said was right, he had no choice but to leave resentfully, and walked towards Jianyue Gate.

"Remember to fetch some wine."

Bai Tan warned again from behind.

Hei Wa murmured in a low voice: "What's so good about wine..."

While muttering, he walked to the Jianyue Gate, jumped into the Jianyue Gate.

Shu Wanying was surprised when she saw this scene, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions. She just bowed and thanked Lu Qian: "Thank you very much, Mr. Sir, for your kindness."

After that, she stood up and looked at her own human skin.

At this time, the skins were overlapped and paralyzed on the ground, with the faces of the human skins stacked on top, with their faces facing the sky and their mouths open.

Shu Wanying's body swayed and turned into a stream of green smoke, which penetrated into Human Skin's mouth.

As she got into the mouth of the human skin, the limp human skin on the ground immediately swelled up like an inflated ball.

Afterwards, this complete "human skin" stood up again, reverting to the appearance of that beautiful woman.

This human skin fit perfectly with her ghost.At first glance, it looks like a big living person standing there.

Shu Wanying opened her big eyes again, looking at her new smooth and white body with joy.

At this time, her facial features were irrelevant to before, and she had completely changed into a new face.

Only in terms of body shape, there are still faint traces of her own body.

It was obviously not the first time for Shu Wanying to put on this human skin, but her movements and expressions seemed to be the first time she wore a beautiful human skin.

She lowered her head, while looking at it, she stretched out her hand to caress her white and tender body.

After watching for a while, she raised her eyes and took a peek at Lu Qian, but saw that there was no expression on his face.

Seeing this, Shu Wanying's expression darkened.She bent down, picked up the skirt at her feet, and put it on.

At this time, Hei Wa came out first from the Jianyue Gate.

Following him were Xiaofeng, Zuo Qiuling, Jing Yanxiu and Qin Yingying.

With a glance, the four women couldn't help being startled when they saw a few more people coming to the scene.

Lu Qian greeted him and said, "Let's go, someone brought a roasted whole lamb."

Hearing Lu Qian's words, Xiaofeng looked away from Shu Wanying and the others, smiled at Lu Qian, and said, "That's right. We've just finished cooking here."

In the hands of the four women, each held a tray, which contained dishes, meals, cups and a jug of wine.

Everyone came to the bonfire, spread several jars on the ground, and started having a picnic.

The bright moon is in the sky and the surroundings are quiet, making it a good place for a picnic.

Jing Yanxiu still kept the seat next to Lu Qian, carefully shaved off a large piece of lamb leg, put it on a delicate porcelain plate, then cut the lamb into small pieces with a knife, picked up a piece of meat with the knife , into Lu Qian's mouth.

"delicious……"

Hei Wa was the first to snatch a leg of lamb, picked it up and gnawed it.

Lu Qian tasted a piece and couldn't help but nodded and said, "Your skill at roasting mutton is pretty good."

Shu Wanying sat on the right side of Lu Qian and said flattered: "My husband likes it. I will bake it for him from time to time. We also have a large group of sheep in our village."

Lu Qian asked casually: "Is there anyone else in your village?"

Shu Wanying said: "The rest are just the unenlightened little ghosts we trained. All those who have opened up their spiritual intelligence are here."

Ordinary ghosts have no intelligence and just wander around in a certain range all day long.

Since they have not opened their spirits, these ghosts cannot cultivate. Over time, some of them will become stronger and stronger, either because they are eaten by many people or because of their natural characteristics.

At this time, these little ghosts will also comprehend some tricks on their own and carry out unconscious cultivation.

Finally, one day, due to many opportunities, they have an epiphany and awaken the memories of their previous lives, which is when they become "enlightened."

The ghosts who have opened their spirits have also recovered their intelligence because they have memories of their lives. Apart from being ghosts, they are not much different from humans.

Of course, ghosts are destined to be ghosts. After they lose their bodies, they are different from what they were in life in many aspects. Their character, cognition and concepts of the world will also undergo major changes.

What's more, the yang energy and body possessed by human beings are great supplements to ghosts.For this alone, it is impossible for humans and ghosts to live in harmony naturally.

It was precisely because of this that Lu Qian found it strange when he learned that they all lived in a mountain village.

Lu Qian asked again: "Why do you live in Luojiatun? How long have you lived there?"

"why……"

Hearing Lu Qian's question, Shu Wanying couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

After a long time, she continued: "Why... probably for...revenge."

If a ghost was killed by someone before it was alive, it is not surprising that it would be the first to think of revenge after regaining its sanity.

Lu Qian asked, "Did someone from that village kill you?"

Shu Wanying shook her head first, then nodded, and then said: "It's not that village, it's also my village."

"Ah."

Lu Qian gave a light "um", it seems that there is a story about Shu Wanying.

Shu Wanying continued: "Most of the people in Luojiatun Village are named Luo. We, the Shu family, are outsiders in the village..."

Among the villages, the concept of clan is the most important.People of the same clan, when faced with foreign surnames, will naturally twist into one rope.

If you are a minority in the village, it is only natural for you to be bullied by the villagers.

It's just that the Luo family in Luojiatun is too cruel to "bully" people.

Outside Luojiatun Village, there is a strange temple.

The village does not know when it started, and a custom was derived.

Every three years, a young man who has reached the age of 16 will be sacrificed to the evil god in the temple.

Young people sent to the temple, without exception, will disappear without a trace.

In other words, this small Luojiatun village loses one young man every three years.

Otherwise, disaster will come to the village.

Above Shu Wanying, there are two brothers.

Her eldest brother and second brother were sacrificed one after another.

Below her, there is a younger brother who is younger.

When her brother turned 16...

The villagers of Luojiatun openly broke their promise and forced her brother to replace a Luo family member and deliver it as a sacrifice.

This time, Shu Wanying's family finally quit and exploded.

A scuffle in the middle of the night, the result can be imagined.

That night, their family was all hammered to death by the villagers.

I don't know how many years later, one day, Shu Wanying suddenly "awoke".

She awakened the memory of her life.

The deep-seated hatred is still engraved in my heart.

Shu Wanying immediately returned to Luojiatun Village, but at this time, the person who killed their family was long gone.

The children of those days have all become adults; the young and adults of those days are either dead of old age or dying of old age.There were not many people left that Shu Wanying knew.

As you can imagine, the entire Luojiatun village, regardless of gender, age or child, was eaten.

After that, Shu Wanying was at a loss as to where to go, so she settled down again in her former home.

Later, over the years one after another, she took in these enlightened ghosts one after another.

Shu Wanying is the village head herself, and the rest of the ghosts are her villagers.

A ghost village is gradually born.

Lu Qian asked: "Ghost villages like yours, are you the only one here?"

Shu Wanying shook her head and said: "No. In fact, there are very few villages where humans still survive in this mountain. Most of the mountains are now deserted villages. The rest are just like us, they are ghost villages. .”
