Chapter 1161 Life replaces the dead
This young man is called Dongsheng and he is nineteen years old.
His parents died of illness two years ago. He had already arranged a marriage at that time, but when his parents fell ill, the girl's family was not willing to marry him, and he also had to start mourning.
So he was the only one left at home in the past two years.
Although his family was poor, his parents loved him very much. In the past, they did most of the work, as Dongsheng was quite lazy.
After the disaster this year, he was at a loss and was going crazy with hunger every day.
In this situation, he missed his parents especially and felt that if they were still alive, they would definitely be able to give him something to eat.
Just then, Jia Tan and his family came back.
Jiatan had previously gathered them in the ancestral hall in a mysterious manner and told them something.
It is said that he met a master in Zhilin City, who taught him a secret method that could resurrect people who had died within three years.
However, if someone wants to survive, someone else has to offer some souls, which is like a transaction.
"Grandpa Jia said that we should give him the time of birth of the person we want to resurrect, as well as the gender and characteristics. He will then give us a corresponding paper figurine. We should hang the paper figurine on the beam and wait."
Dongsheng held his head and spoke in a muffled voice.
"Wait for someone with a matching horoscope to come over. As long as the horoscope matches, they can see the appearance of the deceased. Once they come over, two souls of the living will be extracted and sent to the underworld in exchange for my parents."
"But a nosy person came to Dagui Village some time ago and said that the feng shui of the village was weird. I don't know what tricks he used, but no strangers have entered the village for a long time."
When Lu Zhaoling heard this, he suddenly understood.
"It turns out that someone wanted to stop this before."
It’s a pity that although the other party could see it, he couldn’t calculate the details, and his cultivation was not enough, so he couldn’t stop it completely.
It just makes the village look unpleasant, so even if someone passes by, they won’t want to enter the village.
Zhou Shiyue's mind worked very quickly.
He understood it all at once.
"So, the people in your village were so enthusiastic about bringing those disaster victims here just to extract their souls and revive your family members?"
The military advisors and others outside also heard these words. They understood what was happening and their faces changed.
"Oh my God, how can there be such a selfish person?"
"Then, aren't all the disaster victims in trouble now?"
Dongsheng shouted, "We don't want those people's lives! Uncle Jia said that people have three souls and six spirits, we only need to take two souls and three spirits from them!"
"Those people who are still alive, we will also support them!"
When Lu Zhaoling heard him say that, she laughed out loud.
"Can they live? Can they live like zombies? Can they live like idiots? Can you support them? That sounds really nice. Can you use them as slaves?"
Where on earth did Jatan learn this method?
This method must have been carried out by a traitor in the Netherworld. If no one took over, how could the exchange of living souls and ghosts be successful?
What on earth has happened to Youming recently? Why are there so many leaks?
Lu Zhaoling was very angry and wanted to call Xiaobai and Xiaohei up immediately to ask them clearly.
"I will support them anyway..." Dongsheng said and looked outside.
The soldier who was targeted by him just now felt cold all over.
His companions looked at him with sympathy.
"It seems that your horoscope matches that of his parents."
"No wonder you were the only one who saw his parents just now."
"But where are his parents? You're the only one who saw them. Do you want to change his father or his mother?"
The soldier was about to cry.
"Okay, stop talking." The military advisor shouted.
Everyone then shut up.
But they were also all tense.
If they continue to move forward, how many of them will be targeted?
Everyone was praying in their hearts that their horoscopes would not match those of the dead people in this village.
"I've told you everything I know. Just give my parents back to me!" Dongsheng stared at Zhou Shiyue again.
"They are just two little paper figures, but you really treat them as your parents."
As Zhou Shiyue spoke, he threw the two little paper figures into the fire which was almost burning out.
Without any sound, the two little paper figures were burned in an instant.
"No!!! Dad! Mom!"
Dongsheng threw himself towards the flames.
Zhou Shiyue kicked him away.
"Come in and tie him up."
"Yes!"
Someone came in quickly and grabbed Dongsheng.
Dongsheng struggled, and with a ferocious look on his face, he shouted at Zhou Shiyue, "You don't keep your word! Bastard! I'm going to kill you!"
"How dare you!" The soldier chopped at his neck with a knife.
Dongsheng fainted.
"Put out the fire." Lu Zhaoling said.
Someone shoveled some snow outside and put out the remaining fire.
After leaving the house, the village was still quiet.
But now they have a general idea of the situation.
"If we want to extract a living soul, other living people must stay away and not make any noise." Lu Zhaoling explained to them as he walked forward, "So many of the living villagers in this village are probably not at home at this time. Instead, they have retreated to other places, leaving their houses for their dead relatives, waiting to meet the right living soul."
Lu Zhaoling looked at these hundreds of people.
She sighed.
"I guess this situation is also part of Jatan's plan."
"You mean, he originally wanted to lead the soldiers from the main camp into the village?" Zhou Shiyue frowned. "Could it be that the souls of soldiers are better than those of ordinary people?"
Lu Zhaoling nodded.
"You guessed it right. First, the living souls of the soldiers are more energetic, just like newly dead ghosts. Second, it is estimated that someone behind the scenes wants to attack the Subei camp, so they took advantage of Dagui Village."
Let the villagers of Dagui Village do this to achieve their goal of killing a group of soldiers, and the people behind the scenes don't have to do it themselves.
It seems that the biggest mastermind behind the scenes is still targeting Da Zhou.
This is done with no effort spared, infiltrating from every aspect.
"Their handiwork is everywhere." Zhou Shiyue's expression turned cold.
Do you really want the Great Zhou Dynasty to be destroyed?
But, what does it mean to attack the royal family and these soldiers and civilians?
Such a person, even if he really takes back the country and the power, will probably be a tyrant who treats the people as ants.
He would never allow such a person to be in power.
If they really have to go, it would be better for them to go with the second prince, that little idiot.
"Don't take it to heart," Zhou Shiyue was afraid that Lu Zhaoling would blame herself. After all, it was she who wanted to bring so many soldiers into the village. "If they didn't come in, we wouldn't know the inside story."
"Yes, yes, Miss Lu, if it weren't for you, I would have led my troops into the village again sooner or later. But no one would have saved us then." The military advisor also said quickly.
"Now follow you in, we can all feel at ease."
Isn't this the same as saving themselves? What is there to complain about?
