Sky coffin

Because of the art of concealment, when passing by the villagers, they were not even close to my presence.

I walked straight into the courtyard and towards the room where Mrs. Li was.

The door to Mrs. Li's room was closed tightly. I looked around and found that no one was paying attention to me. I quickly stretched out my hand to open the door and got in.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Mrs. Li sitting cross-legged on the kang, staring at me with a pair of dead gray eyes.

I released the concealment technique. When Mrs. Li saw me, she didn't have any panic on her face. She just looked at me quietly with her numb eyes.

I took a step forward and asked, "Mrs. Li, I have something to ask you."

Mrs. Li seemed to have known I would come for a long time. She motioned for me to sit down.

I sat across from her and continued to ask without saying a word. Looking at Mrs. Li like this, she seemed to want to tell me everything she knew in her heart.

Mrs. Li was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Do you want to ask about this village?"

I nodded and asked, "Mrs. Li, what is going on in this village? Why are there bones buried in the yards of every house?"

"Also...did you know that the person in the coffin is not your wife?"

Mrs. Li looked at me with her numb eyes, then let out a long sigh and said, "I know, I know everything."

Later, Mrs. Li slowly explained to me what happened in their village.

Yong'an Village suffers from drought all year round and the people are miserable. The young and middle-aged people in the village choose to go out to work in order to make a living.

Mrs. Li looked at me and asked, "Young man, do you believe there are drought demons in this world?"

I nodded and replied, "Of course I believe it."

Mrs. Li continued: "Only our Hu family knows the cause of the drought in the village. There is a large tomb on the east mountain of the village, and a drought demon is buried in that tomb."

As soon as these words came out, my pupils trembled slightly. It seemed that Princess Longji's feeling was correct. There was indeed a drought demon in this village.

"Our Hu family is the tombkeepers of this big tomb."

"Some time ago, a man came here..."

The man Mrs. Li mentioned should be Ying Gou.

Ying Gou came to the village and explained clearly the reason for the drought in the village in front of all the villagers.

After hearing this, the villagers in the village were furious and wanted to find someone to destroy the drought demon!

And Ying Gou said that he had a way.

As for his method... he called back the young adults working outside, killed them, buried the bodies in the yard, and then let the zombies transformed by these young adults deal with the drought demons.

I had some doubts in my heart and asked, "He told you to kill your own relatives, will you just kill them?"

Old Mrs. Li sighed slightly and said: "Some people in the village disagreed at first, but that man said that the people he killed would not die, but would instead have eternal life!"

"Then he killed a villager in front of everyone. Everyone was horrified, but in less than a minute, the man who should have died came back to life! Seeing this, the villagers worshiped the man as a god."

"But I know, it's not like being resurrected from the dead...it's obviously turned into a zombie!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help laughing at the ignorance of these villagers. It was really ridiculous that they worshiped a monster as a god.
