When he said this, the village chief revealed a mournful expression.
The wailing woman was old and did not have many days left to live. Her children and relatives had all been wiped out in the previous draws. Her only wish was to help the village at the last moment.
And this group of foreigners were obviously the cultivators in the rumors ...
But the problem was that the truth was not as simple as the mournful woman thought!
Doing so would not help the village at all. Instead, it might even bring disaster to the village.
Hearing this, Qiao ciguang did not comment and only said, &Quot; I already have a rough idea of the village’s origin, but there are still many details that I would like to ask the village chief. &Quot;
&Quot; I’ve already tried. For those who already know the village’s Secret, they won’t be cursed if they explain the village’s situation, ” he continued.
“So, village chief, please answer my question.”
“I’m a direct disciple of su zhentian, one of the nine great sects. Perhaps I have a way to lift the curse for your village.”
Hearing this, the old Yang family, who didn’t dare to draw for a long time, immediately helped to persuade him, ” “Village chief, I think you should agree to this outsider, no, agree to this fairy! Over the years, the rules have changed again and again. Once every five days is already beyond our ability.”
“The destruction of the village is right in front of us.”
“And now it’s changed to one day?”
“If this continues, we’ll all die sooner or later!”
“Since this fairy is willing to help, why don’t you try?”
“Don’t tell me the result will be worse?”
The village head frowned and hesitated for a moment. Then he sighed and said to the Yang family, ” “You go out first and let the people outside wait.”
The Yang family hurriedly left, but before they left, they didn’t forget to bow to Qiao ciguang and earnestly said, ” “Thank you for your trouble, fairy.”
When there were only three people left in the house, the village chief went over to bolt the door and then gestured for Qiao ciguang and Shi Wanli to follow him.
He brought the two of them to the cellar in the backyard. At the bottom of the cellar, there was a secret passage. After passing through it, they arrived at a vast underground hall.
After entering, they saw a skeleton kneeling on the ground with her mourning clothes scattered on the ground.
The village chief looked on and sighed slightly. He walked over and knelt beside the mourning woman, kowtowing solemnly behind the bead curtain.
It was the same as when fairy Yu Meng entered. The bead curtain was clearly very conspicuous, and the gap between them was not small. However, after Qiao ciguang and Shi Wanli entered, they noticed the skeleton of the mourning woman, the memorial tablets of the cities, and the various details of the surroundings. However, they did not have the slightest intention of looking behind the bead curtain.
It was only when the village chief kowtowed that they subconsciously looked over.
Then, the two of them changed their expressions. In the village chief’s eyes, the statue behind the bead curtain was a cultivator in plain clothes with a blurry face. But in the eyes of the two core formation realm cultivators, it was an indescribable horror and disaster!
Qiao ciguang’s and Shi Wanli’s hearts were beating wildly. After they quickly shifted their gazes, they still felt their hearts palpitate and their foreheads were covered in cold sweat.
Curse!
With their background, their understanding of this world was not something that wandering cultivators could compare to.
But now, he could immediately tell that this statue was the legendary “curse ...” This village was indeed related to that forbidden person!
After the village chief finished kowtowing, he seemed to have aged even more. He coughed a few times and said, ” “You can ask three questions, but as a price, the sacrifice this time has to be chosen from among you.”
“If you can’t agree to it, then I won’t say anything.”
Qiao ciguang furrowed his brows and immediately asked, ” “How many people are we going to sacrifice this time? It’s impossible for us to borrow everyone in the house.”
“Just one will do,” the village chief said, shaking his head slightly.
&Quot; but in the process of the sacrifice, those who break the rules must also be counted. &Quot;
Hearing this, Qiao ciguang instantly felt at ease. He nodded and said,”Sure.”
Seeing her agree so readily, the village chief’s expression softened. &Quot; &Quot; I have three questions. You can ask after you’ve thought about them. &Quot;
Qiao ciguang nodded and immediately asked,”the first question, were the village’s rules set by the curse, or was it your own doing, village chief?”
To be honest, she was a little suspicious of the village chief in front of her.
According to the information that the mourning woman had sent to fairy Yumeng, the village chief had always been the one to decide the rules of the village.
No matter how he looked at it, the village chief was very suspicious.
When the village chief heard this, he shook his head slightly and said, ” “It wasn’t set by the immortal, nor was it set by me, but ...”
He revealed a complicated expression and sighed. &Quot; it was set by the curse slaves who once served the immortals. &Quot;
Curse slave?
Qiao ciguang and Shi Wanli were both stunned. Fairy Yumeng did not mention anything about the cursed slave to them. Did that mean that they did not know about the mourning?
As he thought of this, Shi Wanli immediately asked, ” “What are curse slaves?”
“The master of Fengdu.” The village chief said in a deep voice, ” the priests who were once responsible for offering sacrifices to the immortals ... Are now living in a place called ‘sang’. &Quot;
“All the rules of Zi village, as well as the drawing of lots this time, were all orders from ‘sang’,”
When Qiao ciguang and Shi Wanli heard this, they immediately frowned.
Sang?
There’s another “sang” on the island besides Zi village?
Where was this place? How many curse slaves did he have left? What cultivation level were they at? Was it the meaning of the ‘curse’ or did they have other intentions by asking for sacrifices so frequently?
A series of questions surged into the duo’s minds, but there was only one last question left. Qiao ciguang’s mind raced as he asked,”Can ‘sang’ tell us the reason for drawing lots in advance this time?”
“The inheritor of the immortal has returned.” The village chief sighed. &Quot; the sacrifice this time is because of that inheritor ... I only know this much. &Quot;
When they heard this, Qiao ciguang and Shi Wanli’s expressions changed!
The inheritor chosen by you su tomb was definitely not a living being!
Thus, no matter what, he couldn’t let it succeed.
Otherwise, a new taboo would be born in you su Fen!
“I’ve answered all three questions.” The village chief saw their changing expressions. After a while, he couldn’t help but remind them, ” now, it’s time to go back and draw lots. &Quot;
“There’s no need to draw anymore. I’ll be the sacrifice this time,” Qiao ciguang immediately said.
They had previously checked the burial ground after the funeral, but they did not find a single body.
Based on the three questions that the village chief answered, it was safe to assume that all the corpses had been taken by sang during the sacrificial process.
In such a situation, Qiao ciguang felt that he had to take action personally. He had to first fake his death to deceive the villagers. After that, he would head to sang through the village’s sacrificial ceremony and face the real mastermind behind the scenes. He would then eliminate the curse slave and kill the inheritor of the curse, completely solving all the problems from the root!
Although this village was worshiping the taboo of you su tomb, she could not even look at the God statue left by him.
However, Qiao ciguang did not think that he would encounter a real “curse” on this Island.
After all, according to su zhentian’s records, that taboo had been missing for a long time ...
Furthermore, how could mere mortals be enough to satisfy the appetite of such an existence?
To put it bluntly, to satisfy the curse, even if the 12 cities of the Outworld Island were present and all of them were sacrificed, it would still be of no use.
Before Qiao ciguang could finish his sentence, Shi Wanli and the village chief both revealed shocked expressions.
&Quot; Senior Sister Qiao! &Quot; Shi Wanli hurriedly transmitted his voice to persuade her, ” Senior Sister Qiao, whether the village chief is telling the truth or not is still up for discussion ... &Quot;
