Chapter 667
It was obviously September and the autumnal equinox had not yet arrived, but everyone already felt as chilly as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
"If you notice something is wrong, tell us earlier." The village chief said solemnly.
Compared to Mei Lindong, who was trembling with fear, Yu Ling seemed much calmer. She just asked in a deep voice: "Is this matter... related to the curse in your village?"
The village chief sighed softly: "I don't know. There are so many mysterious and unknown secrets on Shenye Peak. Many villagers will see some strange creatures when they go to the top of the mountain in the middle of the night. Less than 10% of them escape alive, so
A certain village chief issued a ban, not allowing villagers to take risks privately."
"What creature? Is there any specific record?" Yu Ling asked.
"There is a special place here to store secret records, ancient books, diaries and other materials, but..." the village chief smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It is too difficult to figure out the source of the curse. The peak cultivator of the Phantom God who has died in our village over the years
There are quite a lot of them, and even if you read all the information, it won’t help.”
Yu Ling looked directly at him and said: "Then you can just wait for death in peace? Village chief, you know very well, right? The method of transferring the curse is to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause after all. If you don't understand the ins and outs, this matter will not be considered complete.
Finish."
The village chief's face looked a little ugly, and he looked at him hesitantly.
Yu Ling said lightly: "Actually, you are also in a dilemma. Otherwise, since you have successfully transferred the curse, why not directly promote it to the whole village and let everyone be liberated?"
"Based on my guess, this method is impossible to proceed smoothly. At most, you can only transfer the curse of some villagers. After that... you will definitely be strongly obstructed and suppressed."
The village chief was silent for a long time, then forced out a smile and said: "Young people today are really amazing, but these have nothing to do with you. I will transfer the curse on you later, and you can leave here."
"Could it be that the village chief doesn't understand our purpose? Although this matter is much more difficult than I thought, we have already reached this point. Escape and retreat have never been my choice. I must find the source of the curse.
" Yu Ling said decisively.
He looked closely into the village chief's eyes and said slowly: "In other words, village chief, you don't need our help at all? Would you rather cowardly take one step at a time and save only a small number of villagers? But you can't do it
In the end, you can’t save anyone, you can only slowly wait for your demise a hundred years later.”
"No! I can undo the curses of dozens of people right now!" the village chief said sternly, somewhat rudely.
Yu Ling sneered and said: "You can't. You actually know it well, so why should you deceive yourself? You are the only one who has transferred the curse in the whole village. I just saw it. Your wife is still asleep in the house. I
Let me ask you the simplest question, these dozens of people...how are you going to choose?"
The village chief was shocked, and his face became even more haggard and pale.
"There is such a story. The end of the world has come, but there is only one spaceship... Well, don't ask me what the spaceship is. In short, it can carry hundreds of people to escape the disaster. So the upper class elites, rich people, and important leaders of society,
After these people had filled up the quota, just as they were preparing to escape, a spaceship repairman was angry that his family could not get a quota, so he secretly made some tricks, causing the spacecraft to fail to start, and eventually everyone died."
Yu Ling said calmly: "If only a very small number of people can survive, the final result will be that everyone will die together. Even if there is no repairman, someone else will blow up the spacecraft. Because tolerance, tolerance, humility, and kindness are all
It is something that is only conceived in a peaceful and stable era, but when faced with the hope of life and death, all the good things will be torn to pieces by the instinct of survival."
"Village Chief, are you so naive that you think that the remaining few hundred villagers will willingly give up hope to fulfill those few dozen people?"
"Or are you still holding on to luck and thinking that you can transfer the curse of all the villagers bit by bit? If it was really that easy, the predecessors would have already..."
"That's enough!" The muscles on the village chief's cheek twitched a few times, and the deep-set eye sockets looked a bit eerie in the pale light. He stopped and stared at Yu Ling, countless complicated things flashed through his eyes.
The emotions include anger, sadness, helplessness, and fear, with a hint of indescribable weirdness.
Song Haotang and others looked at the village chief in surprise, wondering why he reacted so violently.
The village chief gasped a few times and finally calmed down. He lowered his head slightly and continued to lead the way. He said with unclear meaning: "Since you insist, I will give you the key later. Just take your time and read whatever information you want."
If you can still hold on."
Chi Yuzheng said worriedly: "That's right, Captain, you were about to fall asleep just now. Wouldn't it be more likely to make you sleepy when you read those materials later?"
"Don't worry, I will wake up even if I fall asleep. It's not as serious as you think." Yu Ling said.
Perhaps because of his special bloodline, his situation is much better than others. Anyway, Yu Ling feels that he will not sleep until death. And he is now in the middle stage of spiritual transformation. Unless the soul sea is severely damaged and broken, it will be difficult for Guyong to do anything.
You got him, so you don't have to worry about anything.
"But you..."
"I know my situation well."
Chi Yuzheng and the others looked at each other in confusion, but Yu Ling was not the kind of person who liked to joke around. Since he said that, it should be true.
Mei Lindong asked whimsically: "Could it be that because the blood coagulation warrior has a good physique, he has a certain resistance to the curse?"
Yu Ling shook her head and said nothing, letting them speculate.
There were many locked rooms on both sides of the long passage, and it was unknown what they were used for. Mei Lindong asked a few questions out of curiosity, but the village chief simply ignored them, as if he did not intend to discuss them in depth.
Walking all the way to the deepest part of the passage, a room suddenly opened up, revealing a room of several hundred square meters. A large altar made of rocks took up eight-tenths of the room, but it was built very roughly. Although it looked similar to the altar
Similar, but it doesn't seem to be used to worship gods.
There seemed to be a person lying on the top of the altar, his eyes closed tightly and motionless, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive.
The village chief explained: "This is a villager who voluntarily came to help me with the experiment, but when it is his turn, the success rate is already very high. If it succeeds this time, it will basically prove that this method is feasible."
Mei Lindong said in surprise: "Didn't the captain just tell you that this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, so you still insist on going your own way?"
The village chief was silent for a while and said: "I will not give up until he comes up with a better way."
He raised his head and glanced at Yu Ling thoughtfully: "However, I sincerely hope that his arrival can change the fate of our village that has been cursed for hundreds of years."
Chi Yuzheng said without hesitation: "The captain is very powerful, you have to have confidence in him! By the way, at this point, we still don't know your name, village chief, and how old you are?"
"My name is Fan Diekun. I am 30 years old this year. Time flies so fast. I took over the responsibility four years ago and began to study hard to break the curse. Unfortunately... it was a hard work, but you said
It only treats the symptoms but not the root cause." The village chief said with a wry smile.
Zhu Hongya comforted her softly: "Village chief, don't be too sad, we will help you find a solution."
"Thank you very much. Xiao Pan is at a critical moment now. I'm afraid I won't be able to help your captain transfer the curse. It will take another five or six days. I wonder if your captain can still hold on?" Fan Diekun said apologetically.
.
"So long?" Several people couldn't help but be stunned.
