Chapter 388 I’m Here to Take You Away
Gradually turned into bones.
At this moment, a flurry of footsteps broke the silence. Shen Qingqing rushed over in a panic, her face horrified: "Senior Sister Jiang, they... they are all dead! I just took a nap, how could they all die?
"Here... Senior Sister Jiang, there shouldn't be any problems here, right? Is there something unclean here? Let's get out of here quickly. You must have a way to get us out, right?
"I don't want to die. I really don't want to die. Forget about Song Nian'er and Li Nian'er. Wasn't she already dead? We are the living, breathing people. Can we just go first?"
She can't die. She has finally lived again, she absolutely cannot die!
Can't!!!
Jiang Liqian didn't want to pay any attention to her at all. In her previous life, she thought she was timid and simple-minded, and too straightforward, which was why she spoke without restraint, but she still had a good heart and worked tirelessly to clean up her mess.
Now it seems that she was simply cursed and so blind that she mistook fish eyes for pearls.
"Shut up!"
After a cold scolding, Jiang Liqian didn't even look at her. She held her breath slightly and wanted to go forward to check Song Nian'er's body.
However, just as she took a step forward, a strong wind suddenly blew over. Xu Youan was startled and quickly stepped forward, pulling Jiang Liqian behind him.
When the wind stopped, the two looked up again, and there was not even a bone left in the yard.
But in front of the steps, the small figure waiting for the old friend to return sat on the familiar stone pier again.
People coming and going on the bluestone path are all villagers. They are working, gossiping, cooking, fanning themselves, just like before... except that their bodies have all become translucent.
"This...this..." Shen Qingqing was stunned.
What's happening here?
Dead? Or not dead?
Xu Youan lowered his head thoughtfully and said in a deep voice, "It's because their souls cannot enter reincarnation and can only stay in the place where they were alive."
When Shen Qingqing heard this, she was the first to be in disbelief: "How is this possible?"
Xu Youan glanced over, and Shen Qingqing's arrogance suddenly dimmed. But she still said weakly: "Everyone... everyone knows that unless the cultivator used a special method to transform into a ghost cultivator, no... otherwise it would be impossible for him to still wander around in the human world... his soul would be scattered..."
indeed.
Jiang Liqian agreed with Shen Qingqing's words. This was also common sense in the world of cultivation.
The entire village, with the exception of Song Niannian, who had practiced a little bit of breathing techniques, was made up of ordinary people who hadn't practiced any immortal arts. Once they died, their souls would inevitably return to the underworld, making it virtually impossible for them to remain in the world of the living. What on earth was going on?!
Seeing Jiang Liqian's eyes full of confusion, Xu Youan began to explain. He first told her about how he was taken back by the master of Zhuanling Peak to heal his injuries, and how he saw a village in Zhuanling Peak that was almost the same as here. He then repeated what Song Nian'er had said to him.
"I didn't connect Stone Village with this place before. Now that I think about it, Martial Uncle Song asked me to take Song Nian'er into the Mountain and Sea Secret Scroll to find the Samsara Pearl in the Dead City. He must have wanted to help them reincarnate." Xu Youan said, "I also asked Song Nian'er why they couldn't reincarnate. She said that even Martial Uncle Song didn't know the whole story."
Jiang Liqian thought of something and realized belatedly: "So, the Sect Master allowed Nian Nian to make an exception and enter the Mountain and Sea Secret Scroll. Is this the reason?"
Xu Youan nodded: "That should be the case. After all, even with the protection of Zhuanling Peak's Gathering Yin Array, mortals without spiritual power cannot reincarnate. If they stay in the human world for a long time, they will eventually dissipate."
"Will the Samsara Pearl definitely allow them to return to reincarnation?" Jiang Liqian looked worriedly at Song Nian'er who was sitting at the door. "But the Samsara Pearl has disappeared along with the Nine Sacred Stones..."
Xu Youan didn't know whether the Samsara Pearl had such a miraculous effect, but the disappearance of the Samsara Pearl was an accident, and they could do nothing about it. He didn't want his senior sister to feel burdened by this.
"Sister, destiny cannot be violated. Not everything can go as we expect. In everything, we should do our best and leave the rest to fate. You have done your best."
Jiang Liqian also knew this logic, and she didn't want to go down this dead end. However, if the reincarnation beads were gone, what would happen to the people in this entire village? Without the reincarnation beads, would she be left to watch their souls scatter?
If she had known earlier that the Samsara Pearl was so important, she would have fought to the death to get it on the stage!
It's fine if Junior Brother didn't tell her about this, but Second Brother also didn't mention it to her either...
Xu Youan looked at Jiang Liqian, who was still worried and hadn't relaxed her brows. He opened his mouth to persuade her again: "Senior Sister..."
Shen Qingqing's ears were buzzing with their words about "reincarnation beads", "cannot reincarnate", and "people in the village", and her mind was very annoyed.
She, the eldest sister, was still the same as before, always worried about this and that. Couldn't she worry about herself? Even if she didn't worry about herself, there was still her. She didn't want to worry about the village or Song Nian'er. If they didn't leave here, couldn't they send her away first? Did they have to tie her to them and let them die together?
Look at what a ghost place this is. It is called the Floating Life Realm, but it is even scarier than the horror movies we watch nowadays!
The Tiangan Sect shouldn't have a place called Zhuanling Peak. They're already dead, so why would they want to cultivate there? That's fine, but they even moved a mortal village to the peak to protect it. Isn't that a complete waste of resources?
Since you can't reincarnate, then just let your soul fly away. It's a waste of manpower and resources. If you kill your own disciple in the search for some broken reincarnation bead, who will be responsible?
Aren’t living people more important than dead people?
Really speechless.
Just as she was thinking this, a corner of the glittering skirt suddenly appeared in her sight. She looked up along the skirt and saw Song Changan standing at the door.
She was still muttering in her heart when the real person appeared. She gasped and hurriedly pulled Jiang Liqian's sleeve, shrinking her body behind her, stammering: "Master Jiang... Senior Sister, look, look, Uncle Song!"
Jiang Liqian and Xu Youan both turned their heads.
Sure enough, he saw a woman who looked exactly like Uncle Song, squatting in front of Song Nian'er and talking to her.
But the aura she exuded was much weaker than that of the Uncle Song they knew.
The woman smiled and touched Song Nian'er's little face: "You are Nian'er, right? I am your sister's mother. I am here to take you away."
Song Nian'er shook her head: "No, my sister said she would come back to take me away and not let me run around. I won't go with you, I will only go with my sister."
