Deadly Forbidden Tomb - C73
The sight made my heart jump. I didn’t even know which one was the real cousin.
Also, what did he mean by what he just said? Why do you say I killed him?
I stopped ‘Li Changsheng’, signalling for him to calm down. Whether it’s my uncle or cousin, or the shock and confusion in my heart, I have to find out.
“Uncle, what’s going on? Why did my cousin become like this?” I asked.
“This is all life!”
His uncle cried as he choked with sobs, “I heard your Third Uncle mention it a while ago. I knew that many years ago, for your safety, someone had secretly swapped your identity with your cousin. In some people’s eyes, you’re an ordinary person, but your cousin… He is the descendant of the Taoist Master. ”
Eldest Uncle sighed, “Because of this, your cousin has been pushed to the heart of the struggle, and you are in a safe zone. All the disasters will be borne by your cousin. This is why your cousin has been weak and sickly since he was young. In other words, your older cousin is your shield, your first layer of protection before the great tribulation begins! If that was all, it was nothing. As long as the Seal is not broken, your older cousin will not be in any danger. At most, he will suffer a little.
Hearing this, my whole body felt like it had been struck by lightning. I couldn’t recover my senses for a long time.
Because I suddenly thought of something, something that made me feel guilty. Not only did I hear about this for the first time, I also heard about it before. When she first entered the village, she said, she did not find me, but found a scapegoat instead. Not only her, but the mastermind as well.
At the time, I didn’t know what that meant.
Hearing what Third Uncle said, I finally understood. After all this time, the scapegoat who helped me to ward off this disaster turned out to be my cousin!
That is to say, from the very beginning, my cousin shouldn’t have suffered this disaster. If it wasn’t for me, my cousin wouldn’t have been targeted and he wouldn’t have died. Originally, it was all a scheme set up for me, but it was all blocked by my cousin.
I might not have believed it in the past, but since the recent events, they were all directed at me.
From the moment of my cousin’s death, from the moment of the strange events in the village, the calamities that I should have been carrying were all transferred to my cousin’s body.
I never dreamed that such a thing would happen. If it weren’t for Uncle’s words, I wouldn’t even dare to think about it. Although I didn’t want to admit it, the fact was that I killed my cousin indirectly. Even if it wasn’t what I wanted, it still had something to do with me.
Looking at my cousin’s sometimes malevolent and resentful expression, I couldn’t calm down for a long time. I didn’t know what to say, because I owed him that.
Seeing my dejected face, Xiao Yun immediately supported me and said softly, “Brother Changsheng, this has nothing to do with you. You are also a victim, you can only blame those malicious things! If not for them, things would not have gotten to this point! ”
I was stunned and quickly understood.
That’s right! All of this was caused by those ghosts! The death of his cousin, the death of his third uncle, and even the destruction of the entire village had all been caused by those things, including the mastermind who had never revealed himself!
At this thought, I was so angry that my body trembled.
He exerted strength in his fists and pinched the bones of his fingers until they cracked.
“Brother Changsheng… Your neck! ” Xiao Yun looked at me in shock and even rubbed her hand across my neck.
“Hey, hey!” If you don’t want to die, then calm down. The Cadaveric Poison is still in your body, the more angry it is, the faster it will attack! ” the man in the suit said through his nose.
Without even looking at me, I knew that the Cadaveric Poison must have extended from its shoulders all the way to its neck.
I took a deep breath to calm myself. The suited man was right, anger would not solve the problem, so I had to endure, endure to leave the village alive, endure to find Yang Fengxian, understand the truth, and endure to learn the skills before talking about revenge.
At this moment, guilt and anger were completely useless. Only by remaining calm could he think of a way.
I asked Xiao Yun: “What’s with cousin’s current body? Is it Ghost Possession? Is there any way to help him? ”
Xiao Yun shook his head: “He is no longer your cousin. Ghosts are different from people, they usually don’t have emotions, and the things that control them are hatred, lust and fear. If they died unjustly while they were alive, their grievances would be hard to swallow after death. Moreover, no one would be able to surpass their limits and they would become a ghost. However, the problem is that he has absorbed too much of the infernal energy in the well, and now, only hatred remains in his heart, like a mad beast. Most importantly, he is being controlled by someone, and his actions and actions are not something that he can control.
“Then what should I do?” I had a bad feeling about this.
Before Xiao Yun could say anything, the man in the suit said, “What else can we do? Since living is better off than dying, why not help him? Let’s give him a quick death! ”
I was stunned and immediately shook my head.
He’s my cousin, but he turned out like this to save me. How could I bear to let his soul leave his body?
I looked at ‘Li Changsheng’ for help, hoping that he would give me an idea.
With a shake of Li Changsheng’s hand, the Purple Talisman combusted into flames with a ‘bang’, and coldly said: “The one who does the biggest things will not bother with small details! You are a descendant of the Taoist Master, for the sake of the common people, and not because of personal gains or losses! I don’t have much time left, if I don’t rebuild the Seal’s dried up well tonight, it won’t just be one person that will die! ”
Li Changsheng’s words made my face turn pale and cold. My mind was in a mess, and I didn’t know what to do.
Seeing that the situation was not looking good, Eldest Uncle started to wail and beg for mercy. Not only did his uncle plead for mercy, but even his cousin was crying and begging for mercy.
It was clear that the savage and crazy face belonged to his cousin, and the one crying for mercy was probably the one controlling him. Because of the influence of the Purple Talisman, that person had lost some of his control over his cousin. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have revealed his true face to his cousin.
Perhaps it was this person who controlled his cousin from the beginning to the end and did something that would harm the village.
And because of this, I made use of my uncle’s love for his son to entrap me.
At this time, his cousin began to shout crazily, “Come on! If you have the ability, kill me! Even if you kill me, you won’t live! All of you will be stuck here for eternity! ”
“Longevity!” I beg you to spare his life, he’s your cousin! ” Uncle began to beg for mercy as well.
“Uncle, he…” He’s not a cousin anymore. ” Looking at that crazy face, I felt very bad.
“Aiyayaya, what time is it now? Kid, why are you still dawdling! If you can’t bear to watch it, then turn your head, and let me do it! ”
The suited man was getting anxious as he rushed over with the Purple Talisman in his hand.
His cousin, who was begging for mercy just now, saw the man in the suit approaching, and his expression suddenly changed. Then, he suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed his uncle’s neck, digging his nails into his flesh and sneered: “If you don’t want him to die, get out of my way!”
I was startled. “Don’t do it! We can talk it over if we want to! ”
“Throw all the Talisman Paper on the ground! “Step back, to a place where I can’t see!” His cousin’s eyes were filled with tears, but his expression was ice-cold. This act of his just now wasn’t something that an ordinary person could do.
Faced with the threat of his cousin, Li Changsheng smiled.
Before I could even react, a ball of flame flew out and struck my ‘cousin’ in the face with lightning speed. His cousin froze, and without even making a sound, he fell flat on his back.
The strangest thing was, after he fell down, his body started drying up at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
In just a few seconds, he turned into a mummy.
I was stunned, as was my uncle. After being stunned for a moment, Eldest Uncle laid on the corpse and cried. I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. I knew my cousin had been beaten to a pulp.
“Kid!” It’s going to be dawn in a few hours. If this goes on, we’ll all die of exhaustion here, so let’s go! ”
The man in the suit ignored me and dragged me away. Even though I couldn’t bear it, knowing the seriousness of the situation, the only thing I could do was to give Big Uncle a Purple Talisman to protect him.
Tonight, everything that was in his way had been resolved, and the remaining Faceless People were scared to the point that they didn’t dare to appear again.
Now, only the real owner, the one in the dried up well, remained.
Taking decisive steps, the few of us closed in towards the Ancient Temple.
Whether he lived or died depended on tonight …
