I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 13 Human sacrifice
There were hurried footsteps, and Jiang Wen squinted at the other person picking up his mobile phone.

Then the rope tied his hands and feet, and his whole body was held up by a petite figure.

As if feeling that he was safe, the figure also breathed a sigh of relief.The other party looked at the phone curiously and pointed the light at himself.

With the light of his mobile phone, Jiang Wen could also see the other party's appearance clearly.

She is a woman with disheveled hair. She must be no more than 16 years old.The sneak attack just now was her fault, and Jiang Wen also took the opportunity to pretend to faint.He had doubts about the haunting of the village and wanted to see who was pretending to be a ghost.

Soon there were footsteps outside the cave, the bonfire in the cave was lit, and the woman shouted in surprise: "Brother, you are here."

"Little sister, are you okay?" A familiar male voice sounded, and Jiang Wen knew who it was as soon as he heard it.

"I'm fine, it's just that the Taoist priest almost caught up with me. Fortunately, I ran fast and didn't let him succeed. What should I do now, brother? Kill him?"

"..." The male voice was silent for a long time and then slowly spoke. "Can't kill him."

"Why?! Brother! He already knows our hiding place, and he will definitely tell those old guys when he comes back! Didn't you say that the Taoist priests were invited by those people?" The female voice was a little confused, and a little urgent. asked.

"He, he is different from those people. There is no need to take any more lives, sister. The work that the immortal instructed us will be completed, and Changping Village will suffer retribution by then." The male voice said calmly.

"Then what should we do now? What should we do with this Taoist priest?" the female voice asked calmly.

"Throw him into the wild. It's so dark that it's hard for him to see clearly." After the male voice finished speaking, the woman agreed with his suggestion.

The two of them walked up to Jiang Wen and lifted him up with their hands.

Jiang Wen squinted his eyes and looked at the two people, and the familiar face of the male voice also appeared in front of him.

"Sure enough, it's you, Yang Daniu." Jiang Wen suddenly said. The two of them were startled by his words and quickly ran away.

"Who!" The two men held hoes and shovels and looked around nervously.

Finally, Yang Daniu looked at the tied Jiang Wen and slowly approached him.Only when he saw Jiang Wen's face clearly did he come back to his senses.

"When did the immortal master wake up?" Yang Daniu asked coldly.

"How can you wake up if you haven't fainted?" Jiang Wen couldn't help but smile. He saw the girl on the side approaching menacingly with a shovel, and he didn't feel afraid at all.

"It turns out that the immortal master has been awake all this time. Didn't you hear everything we just said?" Yang Daniu's tone was suddenly filled with murderous intent. He stared at Jiang Wen, holding the hoe tightly in his hand.

"You want to kill Pindao?" Jiang Wen raised his head and asked.

"I didn't want to kill the immortal master, but it's a pity that the immortal master knew too many things that I shouldn't know." Yang Daniu walked towards Jiang Wen step by step, his voice gradually becoming deeper.

"The immortal master gave me candles, and Yang is very grateful. But there are some things that Yang has no choice but to do. I hope that the immortal master will be a sensible person in the next life when he reaches the underworld."

"Be a sensible person? I want to hear your story." Jiang Wen was not afraid at all. He adjusted his posture leisurely and said calmly to Yang Daniu. "Actually, Pindao has long discovered that there is something wrong with the fact that Changping Village is haunted. Since you are determined to kill Pindao, why not let Pindao find out about it. It is also a fate for you and us to meet."

"Brother! Don't listen to him..." "Little sister, don't talk yet." Yang Daniu stopped the girl and looked at Jiang Wen with his eyes.After a long while, he nodded and put down the hoe in his hand. "Since it is clear that the immortal master wants to die, then I will help the immortal master. If you have any questions, just ask him."

"Did you let the black dog out of the well?"

"It's me." Yang Daniu nodded, and then continued. "After the old village chief led the villagers away, I killed eight black dogs and placed them by the well."

"Why do you do this?" Jiang Wen asked doubtfully. "Could it be that you were instructed by someone to use black dog blood to feed resentful spirits?"

"Yes, someone asked us to arrange it this way." Yang Daniu nodded in confirmation.

"Then the haunted incident in the village was also caused by you? Could it be that this ghost was played by your little sister?" Jiang Wen asked again.

"Exactly, my little sister and I cooperated and pretended to be a female ghost in the village to scare people. This will make those people leave the village and make it easier for us to plan."

"Why do you do this? Were you responsible for those who died?" Jiang Wen said, turning to look at the barrels.He was now certain that these barrels contained the blood of those who had been drained.

"We killed them, and we drained their blood. As for why we did this? Well, it was to prevent the people of Changping Village from ever being freed!" Yang Daniu said, his words full of hatred.He seems to have countless resentments about the place where he was raised.

"Changping Village is your hometown, why do you do this?" Jiang Wen was really puzzled.What kind of hatred can make a person do such extreme things.Killing people and drawing blood just to take revenge on their hometown.

"Homeland?! Hahahaha!!" Yang Daniu let out a maniacal laugh, which was completely different from his usual honest appearance. He looked extremely crazy at this moment. "Homeland?! Here? Haha!"

"This is my homeland? No, no, no! This is the underworld! It's a slaughterhouse! I hate everyone here and everything here!"

"What happened to make you so crazy?" Jiang Wen was speechless and sighed after a long time.

"If the Immortal Master is friendly to me, I will tell him a story." Yang Daniu regained his composure, looked at Jiang Wen and said warmly.

Then he told Jiang Wen a story, a story about Changping Village.

Decades ago, Changping Village was not called Changping Village, but Yangjiacun.Although Yangjiacun is close to the Qinghe River, life is difficult.Qinghe River often floods, submerging crops and fields.

Later, the succeeding village chief heard the idea from somewhere and built a temple in Qinghe.Every year during the Spring and Autumn Period, women from the village are chosen and thrown into the well in the center of the village to offer sacrifices in order to gain peace.

As a result, the Qinghe River in front of Yangjia Village rarely flooded, and the village became wealthy because of the passing ships.Yangjia Village was renamed Changping Village and this custom was maintained.

"My mother was chosen as a sacrifice when I was ten years old. I watched helplessly as my mother was stuffed into a pig cage and thrown into the well. I heard my mother's cry for help. She was so pitiful in the well! Yang Daniu gritted his teeth and said fiercely. "I dream about my mother crying in the well every night. She tells me she is so cold!"

"This is my hometown! The hometown that killed my relatives! Ten years! Ten years! I have never had a good night's sleep! As long as I close my eyes, I can hear my mother's voice. She said she was so scared. , she’s so cold.”

"And those executioners, they are still living well. They are rich and noble, wearing gold and silver. They say to me every day, Daniel, you are also a poor child. You have lost your mother since you were a child."

"Hahaha, they laughed at me for losing my mother!"

Yang Daniu said, his laughter turning into a sob.He stood there and stopped talking, breathing rapidly.
