Chapter 116 Elimination
Chapter 116 Elimination
Ji Taiyu's grandmother died, but not completely.
Or to put it another way, this person's process from 'birth' to 'death' was forcibly terminated.
"The reason why those old but not dead people in Yanglao Village are still alive even though their bodies are as withered as skeletons may be because of this reason." Ning Zhe's pupils slightly dilated, silently looking at the grandmother who came back to life and chattered in front of him, and such a thought came to his mind: "But in Ji Taiyu's memory, there have been cases of old people in the village being killed in car accidents or falling to death."
If I pull out the knife and cut my grandmother's neck now, will she die?
If you can't kill him with a knife, what about giving him a chance?
Ning Zhe felt that this guess was worth a try, but it should not be tested on Ji Taixun's grandmother. His sister was still around. The reason why Ji Taixun returned to Yanglao Village was because his mother asked him to go home to take care of his sister in a letter.
All the clues indicate that Yin Lishang is a very important character, and she is inextricably linked to the mystery of immortality in Yanglao Village.
Think about it, Ning Zhe, think about it, if I were Ji Taiyu, I would be an ordinary internet-addicted teenager who had never come into contact with any strange events. I returned to my hometown because of a letter from my mother, but on the way into the village, I witnessed the land god crawling out of the temple in the strange posture of a human bone snake...
An internet-addicted teenager who knew nothing yesterday ran into a village shrouded in strange events in a panic. What will he encounter?
"——will die." Ning Zhe came to the conclusion immediately.
"Amin, you have seen the land god..." In front of Ning Zhe, the grandmother who had just come back to life looked concerned. She held his hand tightly with her wrinkled hands and said earnestly:
"Xiyi Xiansheng Zhenjun is a night-roaming Yin god. We, the people of the Yang world, should not be able to see the Earth Lord with our own eyes. You saw him last night... Maybe you accidentally took the wrong road when the Yin energy was strong, and bumped into the Earth Lord."
"You've run into a ghost... Ah Mian, hurry up, listen to grandma, go and burn two incense sticks to the land god, kowtow a few more times sincerely, and apologize to the old man..."
Ning Zhe sighed: "Grandma, why do you keep talking about gods and ghosts? We are in a civilized society now, and feudal superstition is no longer popular. You can kowtow if you want, but I won't."
After saying that, he took Yin Lishang's hand and turned back: "Let's go, brother will take you home."
"Okay." Yin Lishang followed him obediently.
No matter what, he would not burn incense to the land god. Not only was it a taboo to offer sacrifices today, but worshiping the land god would only bring bad luck. Moreover, Ji Taiyu himself was a young man of the new generation who had received a complete compulsory education and had never been interested in feudal superstitions.
"Oh, you kid..."
Seeing her good grandson holding her granddaughter's hand and walking away, the grandmother was so angry that she stamped her feet, but she didn't dare to get angry in front of the Zhenjun Temple. She had to kneel back in front of the temple, put a few more incense sticks on the incense burner, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and muttered: "The Zhenjun is magnanimous, the emperor is generous, and the young generation does not know the rules and does not intend to offend..."
Yin Lishang was happily walking home with Ning Zhe. Her health was not good and she was out of breath after walking a short distance. She wiped the sweat from her temples with her sleeves, but still tried her best to keep up with her brother.
"Your health wasn't this bad before." Ning Zhe slowed down and said, "How come you're getting weaker as you get older?"
"I'm sorry..." Yin Lishang lowered his head: "I don't know why, my illness has never been cured, and I often get new diseases, which has caused a lot of trouble for grandma and grandpa."
"I can see it." Ning Zhe exhaled softly. He could tell at least three skin diseases from Yin Lishang's face with just one look. From the sound and frequency of her breathing, she seemed to have asthma, and osteoporosis was not out of the question. If they dissected her, they could directly make an encyclopedia of pathology.
There are people who cannot die, diseases that cannot be cured, and there are more and more mysteries in Yanglao Village.
Is there really only one ghost here? Not necessarily. The phone in his pocket buzzed. Ning Zhe held Yin Lishang's hand and took out his phone to check the message on the screen. It was from Feng Yusu:
[I found the ginkgo tree. There is only an old man kneeling in front of the land temple. Ning Zhe, where are you? ]
The text itself did not reveal any tone, but Ning Zhe could still read Feng Yusu's uneasiness and anxiety between the lines. He typed with one hand and replied with a short message:
[I'm leaving there. Go kill that old woman. You can use Ye Yao or Te Rang. It doesn't matter. Kill her as soon as possible and then tell me the result.]
Feng Yushu replied immediately:
[Got it, I'll go right away]
[What happens after I kill the old man? Where can I find you? ]
Ning Zhe replied briefly, "Wait for me there," before turning off the screen of his phone and putting it back in his pocket.
"Brother, who are you talking to?" Yin Lishang was a little curious: "Is it mom? I haven't called mom for a long time. I miss her so much."
Ji Taixuan is only a 16-year-old student who has not yet graduated from the third year of junior high school. His sister Yin Lishang is even younger. She is not even 14 years old this year. She is also frail and sickly. To put it mildly, she is precocious and thoughtful. To put it bluntly, she is sentimental. She is very sensitive both physically and emotionally. She looks very well behaved, but is actually very difficult to coax.
"No, I'm sending a message to a friend." Ning Zhe turned his head and silently looked at Yin Lishang's acne-covered face.
Not sure if it was out of shyness or inferiority, but after noticing his unbiased gaze, Yin Lishang hunched his shoulders, lowered his head, and whispered, "It's ugly..."
"She'll look better once she's cured." Ning Zhe said nonchalantly, "My sister was very cute when she was little. She'll definitely be a lovely girl when she grows up. It's just that her scars are covering her face now."
"Yeah, yeah." Yin Lishang nodded repeatedly. Girls always love beauty, but soon she slumped her shoulders dejectedly: "But what if the disease doesn't get better?"
Her other illnesses had never been cured. Although she was very happy that her brother praised her for being cute when she was a child, Yin Li knew in her heart that these ugly scars would probably be with her for the rest of her life.
"If it's not good, then it's not good." Ning Zhe shrugged.
At the same time, the phone in my pocket vibrated several times again. I unlocked the screen and saw a new message from Feng Yushu:
[That old man died. I killed him with my karma.]
[Ningzhe, I...you must come and see, after this old man died, there was no body left at the spot! ]
[After I killed her with Karma, her body disappeared out of thin air, like rock candy thrown into boiling water, it just melted and disappeared without leaving any trace...]
