Funerary Lady - C62
Tuo Zi’s corpse fell to the ground, but both of his legs were still in the same kneeling position.
Just now, the villagers wanted to change Tuo Zi’s posture, but did not expect that at this time, the body of the villagers would suddenly convulse violently.
It was as if epilepsy had suddenly broken out and was convulsing crazily. A series of gurgling sounds could be heard from his throat.
There was actually blood foam coming out of his mouth!
It was as if this person was not completely dead, as if he was alive again!
But when she looked at him just now, he was clearly dead beyond compare. How could this be?
I frowned. Everyone was staring at the corpse on the floor. Could it be that the attempt to pull the corpse back had triggered some kind of taboo?
The people who died today were all very miserable. In Dazhuang’s family, they could all be considered to be people who were killed by their own kin or those who had personally killed their own.
In the saying of Samsara, such a person would never be at peace after death.
As for Tuo Zi, he died a miserable death, in a kneeling position, he would definitely have a lot of grievances after his death.
However, even if the resentment was heavy, it shouldn’t be enough for such a reaction to occur right now, right …
Without waiting for me to think any further, all of a sudden, I saw traces of flames suddenly appear on Tuo Zi’s body.
“Hurry up and get out of the way!”
Looking at this scene, I anxiously shouted out loud, and the villagers also reacted, some of them even placed their palms on Tuo Zi’s body, and anxiously released and retreated.
Just as the crowd was about to disperse, the flames on Tuo Zi’s body suddenly rose up, enveloping the entire entity.
It was clear that there was no fire source, and it was also in this kind of weather that the corpse was actually set on fire. This was simply too inconceivable …
The villagers stared at the flames. Those people who had been criticizing me earlier were no longer in the mood to talk about me.
What happened today did not only subvert my knowledge, it also subverted everyone’s knowledge.
However, everyone was aware that there was a pair of pitch-black Demon Claw spreading throughout the village.
Village… A disaster was coming to the village!
Some people could no longer stand. Their hands were still trembling as they kneeled on the ground.
The people who were dealing with Dazhuang’s family corpse did not dare to make any more movements.
He subconsciously distanced himself from the corpse and stared at it.
He was afraid that these corpses might have some strange powers too.
The villagers did not even dare to look directly at the flames that appeared out of nowhere in the snowy skies, let alone extinguish the flames.
As the corpse burned, a series of crackling sounds could be heard. The air was suffused with a burnt smell, causing people to feel nauseous.
Only Tuo Zi’s corpse had problems, the rest of the people did not have any problems.
The sudden burning of the corpse seemed to be a warning to others, but … If it was a warning, what would it be …
“I wonder what crime this Tuo Zi committed while he was still alive. When he’s dead, he must kneel down and die.
Just as I was thinking, New Village Head suddenly sighed, as if he was sighing for Tuo Zi.
Hearing his sigh, I suddenly woke up. That’s right, the meaning of the warning! That meant Tuo Zi had to kneel!
If he touched it, he would die!
However, what kind of sin did Tuo Zi commit, why did he have to bear this evil fruit?
The others had died for the same reason. Why hadn’t they done so?
Also, why and where did the bell chimes come from and why did it ring?
The Village Chief faintly sighed and then said:
“Xiao Die, you saw it too. These people died miserably, so they must have been filled with grievances.
“Help me out, I’ll bear the loss money.”
Since he has already said all that, the villagers also didn’t have any different voices. I could only nod my head in agreement.
Then the villagers continued to dispose of the bodies, and I left.
When I came back, Lingling had just crawled up from the brick bed.
After we finished eating breakfast, I told her about what had happened outside and also told her that we shouldn’t head towards the village entrance.
Although she didn’t wish for Lingling to see too much, there were some things that she had to know.
Otherwise, it could be very dangerous in the village.
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed. Those corpses did not stay in the village for too long, and they were directly brought up the mountain to be buried.
On this day, Lingling and I had wrapped ourselves in a thick layer of clothes, and followed behind the funeral procession. I sobbed softly, and Lingling followed from behind.
After all, if I were to spend the night in the graveyard and let Lingling go from her home, I wouldn’t be able to rest at ease either.
Half a year ago, when I was keeping vigil on the mountain, many strange scenes appeared.
At that time, I almost lost my life on the mountain. I have always had a shadow over this graveyard in the mountain.
However, the most dangerous place is also where the clues are. Although I haven’t been up the mountain for half a year, I can still feel something attracting me.
I could feel that what I was looking for seemed to be on the mountain …
Soon, I followed the villagers to the cemetery on the hill.
Although the villagers have already accepted me to be their Funerary Lady, no one was willing to talk to me along the way.
In their hearts, even though they were no longer afraid of me, I was still an unlucky existence to them.
Tuo Zi’s body had already become ashes, so all that was inside the coffin were ashes and some of his clothes from before he died.
When night falls, as usual, the villagers all left, leaving Lingling and I standing there.
The night is very cold. Even though Lingling and I are both wearing very thick clothes, the waves of the cold wind still cause my face to feel waves of pain.
Lingling and I had snot and tears in our eyes as we hugged Lingling in our arms. Looking at the moon in the sky, I said:
“Do you feel warmer holding you like this?”
Lingling snickered in my embrace:
“My sister is fine. The new clothes are especially warm, so you don’t have to worry about me.”
I lit incense sticks and placed them in front of the graves.
“Everyone, you can continue on your way. The past, the past, and everything else must be forgotten.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind blew by, causing the incense to light up.
So many people had died in a row, and so many things had been suppressed. The villagers seemed to have come to a tacit understanding with each other, and no one even mentioned how terrible these people’s deaths were.
It was as if they had agreed to keep this matter of death forever a secret in their hearts.
However, after thinking about it for a while these two days, I finally found some clues. There are some secrets hidden in the village that many villagers know.
However, everyone kept their mouths shut and were unwilling to bring it up.
If I want to know the truth, I probably won’t be able to find anything from the Evil Theurgy Demons and these fake things.
It’s not that I can’t find out, but I’m not strong enough to fight those things head on.
So for now, I think it’s better to start from the villagers. After all, many people know about this secret.
The scarecrows nailed to the trees, the wooden bodies buried in Aunt Zhang’s house, and the scarecrows on the rocks were all connected to the Soul Luring Path.
Right now, the only thing that can connect all of this together is probably that Evil Theurgy. However, I have only read half of the contents within that book.
Also, this Evil Theurgy Encyclopedia is also very strange. After being torn apart and then glued back together, is this also all done by my foster father?
It had been a year since he last saw Liu Qing, what was he doing now?
Standing in front of the grave, I hugged Lingling and was thinking about these questions, when I suddenly heard a series of metal knocks from behind me.
