When saying this, the village chief showed a clear look of sadness.

The mourning woman is old and has only a few days to live. Her children and relatives were all wiped out in the previous draws. Her only wish is to help the village at the last moment.

And this outsider is obviously the cultivator in the rumors...

But the problem is, the truth is not as simple as the mourning mother thought!

Doing this will not help the village at all, but may bring disaster to the village.

Hearing this, Qiao Ciguang was noncommittal and simply said: "I already know the origin of the village, but there are still many details. I would like to ask the village chief."

Then he added, "I have tried it. People who already know the secrets of the village will not be cursed if they explain the situation in the village."

"So, please ask the village chief to clear up my doubts."

"I am a disciple of Su Zhen Zhen Tian Zhen, one of the nine major sects. Maybe there is some way to lift the curse for your village."

Hearing this, the old Yang family, who had been reluctant to draw lots, looked anxious, and immediately helped to persuade: "Village chief, I think it is better to agree to this stranger, no, agree to this fairy! Over the years, the rules have changed

Changing it again, once every five days, is already beyond our capabilities."

"The destruction of villages and species is just around the corner."

"What's more, now it's changed to one day?"

"If this continues, sooner or later we will all die!"

"Since this fairy lady is willing to help, why not give it a try?"

"Is it possible that the result will be worse?"

The village chief frowned and hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said to the old Yang family: "Go out first and let everyone outside wait."

The old Yang family left in a hurry. Before leaving, they did not forget to salute Qiao Ciguang and said sincerely: "Thank you, Fairy Lady."

When there were only three people left in the house, the village chief went over and bolted the door, then motioned for Qiao Ciguang and Shi Wanli to follow him.

He led the two of them to the backyard cellar. At the bottom of the cellar, there was a secret passage. After passing through, they came to a vast underground hall.

After entering, what they saw at first glance was a kneeling skeleton with the clothes of a mourning woman scattered nearby.

The village chief looked at it, sighed slightly, walked over, knelt down beside the mourning woman, and kowtowed solemnly behind the bead curtain.

Just like when Fairy Yumeng entered before, the Mingming Pearl Curtain was extremely conspicuous and the gap was not small. However, after Qiao Ciguang and Shi Wanli walked in, they noticed the skeleton of the mourning woman, the spiritual tablets in the city, and the various things around them.

details, but there is no thought of looking behind the bead curtain.

It wasn't until the village chief kowtowed that they looked over subconsciously.

After that, both of them changed their expressions. In the eyes of the village chief, the statue behind the bead curtain was a monk in civilian clothes with a vague face, but in the eyes of the two monks in the alchemy stage, it was an indescribable horror.

Disaster!

Qiao Ciguang and Shi Wanli's hearts were beating wildly. After quickly looking away, they still felt heart palpitations and cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.

curse!

Based on their background, their understanding of this world is definitely not comparable to that of casual cultivators.

At this moment, he immediately recognized that this statue was the legendary "curse"... This village was indeed related to the taboo!

After the village chief kowtowed, he seemed to have aged a bit. He coughed a few times and said, "You can ask three questions, but as a price, the sacrifice this time must be chosen from among you."

"If I can't agree, then I won't say anything."

Qiao Ciguang frowned slightly and immediately asked: "How many people are needed for the sacrifice this time? If we need to borrow everyone in the house, that is impossible."

The village chief shook his head slightly and said, "Just one will do."

"But in the process of sacrifice, those who break the rules must also be counted."

Hearing this, Qiao Ciguang immediately felt relieved, nodded and said, "Okay."

Seeing her willingness to agree, the village chief looked slightly calmer and said, "You can ask these three questions after you have thought about them."

Qiao Ciguang nodded and immediately said: "The first question is, are the rules in the village set by a 'curse', or are they done privately by you, the village chief?"

Frankly speaking, she was a little suspicious of the village chief in front of her.

Because according to the news sent to Fairy Yumeng by the mourning woman, the rules in the village have always been decided by the village chief.

No matter how you look at it, this village chief looks suspicious.

After hearing this, the village chief shook his head slightly, but said: "It was not decided by the immortal, nor by me, but..."

He showed a very complicated look and sighed, "It was set by the curse slaves who once served the immortals."

Curse slave?!

Qiao Ciguang and Shi Wanli were startled at the same time. Fairy Yu Meng didn't tell them anything related to the curse slave. So, even the mourning woman didn't know?

Thinking of this, Shi Wanli immediately asked: "What is a curse slave?"

"The master of Jidu," the village chief said in a deep voice, "the priests who were once responsible for offering sacrifices to the immortals... they now live in a place called 'Sang'."

"All the rules of Zi Village, as well as the early drawing of lots, are all orders from 'Sang'."

When Qiao Ciguang and Shi Wanli heard this, they immediately frowned.

mulberry?

Besides Zi Village, is there another "Sang" on the island?

Where is this place? How many curse slaves are there today? What are their cultivation levels? Do they mean "curse" when they ask for sacrifices so frequently, or do they have other agendas?

A series of questions came to the minds of the two people, but there was only one last question left. Qiao Ciguang's mind was racing and he asked: "Can you tell the reason for the early drawing of lots this time?"

"The inheritor of the immortal has returned." The village chief sighed, "This sacrifice is because of that inheritor... That's all I know."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of Qiao Ciguang and Shi Wanli changed!

The inheritor chosen by Yousu Tomb must not be a living being!

Therefore, no matter what, it must not be allowed to succeed.

Otherwise, a new taboo will be born in Yousu Tomb!

"I have already answered all three questions." The village chief watched their expressions change. After waiting for a while, he couldn't help but remind him, "Now, it's time to go back and draw lots."

Qiao Ciguang immediately said: "No need to smoke, I will be the sacrifice this time."

They had previously checked the cemetery where they were buried after the funeral, but not a single body was found.

Based on the three questions answered by the village chief, it is speculated that, as expected, all the corpses were taken away by "Sang" during the sacrifice process.

In this case, Qiao Ciguang believed that he must take action personally, first deceiving the villagers with fake death, and then, through the village's sacrificial ceremony, go to "Sang" to face the real behind-the-scenes manipulators, destroy the curse slaves, and kill the "curse" The inheritor will completely solve all problems from the root cause!

Although the person worshiped in this village was the taboo who once belonged to Yousu Tomb, the statue left behind by him was beyond her ability to look directly at.

But Qiao Ciguang didn't think at all that he would encounter a real "curse" on this island.

After all, according to Su Zhentian's records, that taboo has been missing for a long, long time...

What's more, how can it be possible to satisfy that kind of existential appetite with mere mortals as sacrifices?

To put it bluntly, if you really want to satisfy the "curse", even if all the twelve cities on Tianwai Island are present and they are all sacrificed, it will not help.

Before Qiao Ciguang finished speaking, Shi Wanli and the village chief both looked shocked.
