I subconsciously stopped struggling. The three of us hugged each other for a long time.

I can feel that Liu Qing's body was slightly trembling, and it was only after a long while that we separated.

I saw that Liu Qing's face was actually covered with tears. Lingling's eyes were also red, I, who was infected by this atmosphere, would not feel it.

After releasing us, Liu Qing wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes and said:

"Xiao Die, Lingling, no matter what happens in the future, you two … "Everyone has to believe in me, you have to believe in me …"

Before I could say anything, he suddenly changed the topic and continued.

"At that time, the symbol that you drew represented sacrificing your life, sacrificing the rest of your life to obtain greater power.

Actually, the so-called sacrificing one's life could also be said to be a loss of lifespan. It was all because of something that cost one's life.

In essence, there was not much difference between the two.

But the essential difference was that you had done something that had angered the heavens and caused your lifespan to be shortened.

In the other case, he had given up his life on his own accord.

That was the case with you. As for what you gave your life to, I don't know.

However, over the years, I have heard that there are a few evil sects that have gathered a few believers and swindled them into using a variety of methods to sacrifice their lives to the so-called God.

What you and Old God Wang did just now was contribute to your own life, but the difference is that you contributed to your own, while Old God Wang contributed to those two children's.

"Half a year ago, you drew that rune on the ground so many times that we can't remember how long it was. The situation was too dangerous, but I'm guessing that your lifespan is very close to zero …"

Hearing Liu Qing's words, to my surprise, I wasn't surprised at all. Actually, I had already guessed of this result a long time ago.

I just didn't expect it to be as exaggerated as Liu Qing said. According to him, I probably only have a few years left to live.

Endless extortion required endless hard work. There was nothing in this world that came to him out of nowhere.

Back then, I displayed such great power. Now that I think about it, it is natural for me to have paid so much.

Thinking of this, I took a deep breath. It seemed that I couldn't avoid what was supposed to happen after all.

It would have been better if I had known earlier, but I didn't feel too sad.

Everything is due to fate. I do have a very strong desire to survive, but when there are some things that cannot be avoided, why can't I greet them with a smile?

It wasn't optimism, but I didn't want to be too sad.

Just then, Liu Qing suddenly said:

"This so-called sacrifice is not impossible to reverse, but the crux of the matter is, what did you sacrifice your life for?"

"What is the connection with this book? From these aspects, we might be able to find a solution."

I nodded and told Liu Qing about the strange things that this book had brought me. After considering it for a bit, it was always better than someone trying to force it out of me.

Including the series of troubles brought about by this book, as well as the various topics related to the villagers' beliefs and my guesses, I told Liu Qing everything.

And then I said,

"You originally knew a thing or two about this Evil Theurgy, right?"

Hearing my question, Liu Qing nodded his head, and said:

"I remember two years ago, my father went out to retrieve an item.

It was a box, and I was curious about what was in it. I wanted my father to show it to me, but he wouldn't let me see it.

I remember that day he was very irritable and he swore at me.

But the more he scolded me, the more curious I became. Later, while he was out, I searched around the house and found the box.

I remember that it was a coffin-shaped box... "

Liu Qing had not finished speaking when I frowned slightly. Then, he continued.

"There are copper coins inside the iron chains on it?"

Listening to me say that, Liu Qing nodded his head.

As for me, I can vaguely guess what Liu Qing saw inside the coffin.

The coffin is exactly the same as the one I dug up in Aunt Zhang's house, but whether it is the same or not, I do not know.

Then I said,

"Have you seen the remnant of the book?"

Liu Qing nodded.

"Although I haven't learned anything about it, I have a rough understanding of its contents."

The scraps, the pages that had been torn out, were still clearly pasted on my book.

And what was written on it could definitely be counted as the most sinister thing in the entire Evil Theurgy.

"But there's no reason..." "Logically speaking, you shouldn't have read the entire book. You wouldn't be able to understand it if you only read the incomplete pages …"

I raised that question.

"Yin-yang Dao, it has always been the same. I have followed my father to learn the techniques my clan passed down since I was young. At that time, I also had some insights into the Yin-yang Dao.

Although I couldn't learn what was on the remnant page, I could still understand some parts of it.

After all, you can be considered as someone who has read this book. It would not be an exaggeration to say that you have a deep understanding of this book. " Liu Qing said with a smile.

But soon, his smile faded and he said to me,

"At that time, my father went to work in another village and went out for a few days. In these few days, I had a rough understanding of those pages.

At that time, I had a desire in my heart. Even though I knew that it was the Evil Theurgy and it made me feel disgusted, I still couldn't resist wanting to read the entire book.

At the time, I thought it was just curiosity, but listening to what you're saying now, maybe the pages of this book have some kind of magical power that is luring me to do all of this.

When my father came back, he found out about this matter. He was a very shrewd person, and he was able to see through every little detail.

He scolded me and then moved the coffin-like box to another place.

I had a desire for books at the time, so I felt resentful when my father hid them.

I don't know where my father hid the remnant pages of the book, and I don't know how they got back to your book. "

When Liu Qing said this, I just found out that my foster father and Liu Songxian had once kept this book separately.

Then, what kind of agreement did these two people have at that time? Why did it end up like this?
