Quick Wear: True and False Life

"Lingxi, you are a space spirit with a snake body, so you should like damp places. Why are you so afraid of something?" Seeing that Lingxi had reached the level of a spirit, but was still so afraid of supernatural things, Song Nan was particularly puzzled and asked in his spiritual consciousness.

"But I'm afraid of ghosts and other things! I can't accept it." Lingxi said depressedly. This kind of natural psychological discomfort is really not easy to change.

"Don't worry, I just checked with my spiritual sense, and there are no powerful animals in this area. The coldness is due to the excessive yin energy, but the ghost seems to be unconscious and his soul is not complete." Song Nan checked as soon as he came out of the cave, and seeing that Lingxi had sealed his spiritual eyes, he comforted him.

She thought that the Sealed Spirit Eye was even more dangerous. In such a strange place, who knows where a ghost might appear or where some useful information might be missed.

"Sister, I sealed my name only after Mr. Jin told me to. I checked and found no major problems. Out of sight, out of mind!" Ling Xi had no idea that Song Nan had discovered her problem, but she was fearless because she was favored and had the capital to be willful.

"Then follow Mr. Jin closely, we will soon be out of the forest."

"Yeah. I know."

"Girl Song, there is a village ahead, let's go and take a look." After arriving at the village, Old Jin said to Song Nan and the others.

"Okay," he said, and followed closely, moving forward quickly, and after a few breaths he arrived outside the village.

After observing the entire village, I found that few people went out in broad daylight. The people working in the fields outside had lifeless eyes, were skinny, and were doing farm work numbly. They showed no reaction when they saw people entering the village.

This phenomenon clearly shows that this place is strange and unusual. All the way into the village, the doors and windows of every house are wide open, with only the sick and elderly people left, and no children, young and strong men or women.

"There are no children or young adults here, and they are not far from extinction." Song Nan had many speculations about the weirdness of this place, but it could not change the fact that the population here was gradually dying out.

"Girl Song is right, these people are reaching the limit of their lives and won't live long." Old Jin was also surprised by the scene in front of him, but compared to the deaths of villages, towns, and cities he had seen when he was practicing Taoism, it was really nothing.

"Ask someone. The house over there is much better than the others and is located in the center. It might be where the village chief or someone like that lives. Let's go and take a look." Song Nan pointed to the house in the distance and said to Old Jin and Ling Xi. Look for representative people in such places. They are relatively literate or knowledgeable and will be easier to communicate with.

"Let's go, Lingxi!" She and Old Jin took a few steps, and when she realized Lingxi hadn't caught up with her, she shouted.

"Here I come" Lingxi was awakened by Song Nan's voice, and hurriedly followed after answering, wondering if the person she just saw was a person? It looked a bit like the legs in a certain video that were not differentiated in the womb, like a fish's tail, and the whole person was crawling on the ground.

She thought that she had lived long enough to see all kinds of strange things. This situation could be considered a genetic disease, but it was rare.

"Is anyone there?" Song Nan and the other two arrived at the gate of the courtyard. They raised their hands and knocked, but there was no movement in the courtyard, so they asked again.

The three of them looked at each other, knowing that there were people inside, but there was no movement. They were probably like the locals, not responding to the outside world.

So, Song Nan raised his hand and pushed open the gate. Seeing that there was still no response despite the commotion, he went straight into the yard and into the room. An old man was lying in the room, staring straight at the ceiling. He looked like he had lost his mind and was half dead. He didn't even blink when they asked him questions.

"Mr. Jin, I'm afraid we can't get to the bottom of this situation." Song Nan said when he saw the man's situation.

"Sister, why not just hypnotize her directly! At least it won't harm her soul." Lingxi said directly after hearing this. In her opinion, this method can save both effort and time, so why go around in circles?

After listening to the explanation of hypnosis, Mr. Jin nodded and agreed that this method was good. It was direct, convenient and would not harm people's souls. To him, it was extraordinary that a mortal could come up with such a method.

Song Nan thought about it and it made sense, so she began to hypnotize the man deeply. It was a long time before he responded. He slowly closed his eyes and followed her voice back to the depths of his memory.

"Uncle, what is this place?" Song Nan's seductive voice seemed to penetrate the fog, guiding it to open the door of memory.

"This is Liuxi Village." The old man's hoarse and dry voice broke the silence in the room.

"Who is the village chief here?"

"I'm"

“How much is the annual income here?”

"It was fine when I was young, but later on, the emperor was reported to be ill, and the weather became unpredictable everywhere, and there were often no harvests."

"How did you solve it later?"

"The government notified each family in the village to provide a strong laborer to work in exchange for wages, and they could receive a month's silver and rice in advance. They took away one-third of the village's population."

Speaking of this, Song Nan and the other two had a hunch that it might be directly related to what they wanted to know.

“Did those people come back later?”

"no"

"So after this incident, what about other strong laborers?"

"Later, the weather became worse and worse, and the court took them away in batches."

"Do you know what happened?"

"I don't know. I was just told by the government that I was being conscripted into the army or doing corvée labor."

"Where are the women and children? Where did all these people go?"

"Where is the person? Where is he?" After hearing this question, the old man looked struggling and twisted, and his thin figure made him look as scary as if he was possessed by a ghost.

"Look into my eyes, look into my eyes, calm down slowly, by your side..." As Song Nan spoke, she created a guardian-like existence in the old man's memory. After feeling safe enough, he slowly relaxed his body and calmed down.

"Now tell me where the children and the woman have gone? Your guardian angel can save your loved ones for you." This time Song Nan's question was soft and vague, as if I had become an immortal and saved the mortal world.

"He was forcibly taken away by the soldiers." After the old man said this, turbid tears seeped from the corners of his eyes.

Song Nan felt bad when he saw this. Even though he was hypnotized, his subconscious mind was in pain. The old man fell asleep completely following his voice. I hope he can wait for his relatives to return safely.

After the three of them understood the general situation of the place, they relied on hypnosis to enter Yundu, the center of the country's political power. After some investigation, they understood the whole process of the incident.

This is a young man carrying a pearl. He discovered a secret in the records of his clan. He knew that he was a natural spiritual root of thunder, and that this place was part of the continent of cultivation. It was sealed for unknown reasons (but he didn't know that it was due to the deliberate protection of the powerful. The mortals in this piece of space fragment did not know the face and collapsed, so the fragments were preserved to protect all living beings.), and he wanted to live forever, so he practiced forbidden techniques with the intention of breaking the seal and entering the continent of cultivation.

He knew that he couldn't do it alone, so he instigated and lured the leaders of several countries to get involved. Later, due to the forbidden technique, a large amount of blood was needed for cultivation. At first, animal blood was used, but later it was discovered that human blood could provide more energy. This discovery immediately aroused the ferocity of these blood-sucking demons.
