Chapter 186： Immortality

Chapter 186 Immortality

Under Ah Pup’s temptation and driven by inner greed, the Liucun people made a deal with Ah Pup:

A-Pup tried to find a way to save the lives of the villagers and prevent them from being swallowed up by the death energy of the well water. The villagers needed to feed A-Pup with fresh flesh and blood to make her stronger.

For Ah Pup, it was possible to practice by absorbing the resentment and evil between heaven and earth, but it was too slow after all. It took her hundreds of years, but she couldn't escape from here.

However, not long ago, she sucked Liu Jia and the three of them dry, and it seemed as if a huge power was injected into her body, which was completely comparable to her cultivation in the past ten or twenty years.

This made her realize that this was a convenient path to practice.

When her cultivation is strong enough to surpass that of the Taoist priest in the past, maybe she can break free from the constraints, leave the bottom of the well, and live a happy life in the human world.

After the two parties reached an agreement, Ah Pup said to the villagers:

“You cut your wrists, drip your blood into the well, and establish a contractual connection with me. I will control the death energy in you and prevent it from spreading.”

The villagers followed the instructions one after another. From then on, their lives depended on Ah Pup.

After the blood spilled, the village chief expressed his dilemma:

“Senior, the current situation is not good, the war has just ended, and we have barely settled down. We don’t know where to find someone for you.”

“We live in a remote rural area where most people won’t come here. What should we do?”

Ah Pup was silent for a moment and said:

"It doesn't matter, as long as you go look for them, throw them all down for me."

The villagers did not expect that the ancestor at the bottom of the well would be so easy to talk to. Not only would he not let them die, he would not even set a deadline for their tasks.

Is it possible that this ancestor has been at the bottom of the well for too long and does not understand the world?

The villagers looked at each other for a few times without saying anything. After promising Ah Puppet that they would complete the task well, they left one after another.

They stayed away from the well and arrived at the open space at the entrance of Mrs. Liu at the entrance of the village. They thought Ah Pup could not hear their voices, so they spoke louder:

“Village chief, what should we do now? Where can we find someone for her?”

"Let's go out and try our luck. Although the war has just ended, there are still many places that are not stable, and there are still people who are passing by to escape. If we can be deceived, it will not be regarded as our breach of contract." The village chief said.

“Then let the women in our village go out. Women are weak and easy to win people’s trust.” Another person suggested.

Everyone looked at me and said something to each other. What they were thinking about was how to complete Ah Pup's mission.

But Mrs. Liu’s words opened up new ideas for everyone:

“Why should we do what she says?”

"She has controlled the death energy in us. We should not die now. All we need to do is fool her every three days and tell her that we are looking for her, but the mountains are inaccessible and we cannot find fresh flesh and blood. Wouldn't that be enough?"

“Let’s just delay it until we are in our fifties or sixties. We, as a group of people, are approaching the end of our lives. Wouldn’t it be better?”

When the villagers heard this, it seemed that this was also a way, but someone else asked:

“Don’t you want to live forever?”

"What's the meaning of immortality? Look at the ancestor at the bottom of the well, he lived for hundreds of years, so what about immortality? He's been trapped at the bottom of the well and can't go anywhere." Mrs. Liu said, "What's more, life is so hard. Even without food, the longevity is just to survive.”

After hearing what Mrs. Liu said, the village chief thought it was feasible, so he nodded and said:

“You are right. We have experienced war and famine, and we have almost had enough in our lifetime. There is no need to continue to endure it. It is better to let nature take its course.”

“We will drag her along, but our descendants, who have never drank from the well water, dare not give them another drink, lest they be controlled again.”

“When all our people die, future generations will be healthy.”

After this time, the villagers reached a consensus. They did not go to find new flesh and blood to feed A-Pup as agreed, but only went to lie to her from time to time.

They can't get out because of their puppets, and they don't understand the outside world, so they make up whatever they want.

Ah Pup really didn't anger them, and didn't even urge them. This created an illusion for the villagers, making them think that their plan had really succeeded. The villagers even thought that it was nothing more than cultivation and ancestors.

Haven’t you been deceived by them?

Just when they thought they would be able to rest easy from now on, something unexpected happened—

The village chief is dead.

During the busy farming season, when everyone was working in the fields, the village chief collapsed in front of everyone. When people around him ran over to take a look, they found that he had no breath.

The villagers did not feel angry, nor did they feel that Apu had broken his promise because the village chief was already old.

The village chief is already over 70 years old. In the era of war and famine, he was able to survive and survive, which is already very good.

He is the oldest old man in the village. Calculating time, it is normal for him to die in his seventies.

So, no one doubts anything.

They set up a mourning hall for the village chief, held a funeral, and planned to bury him on a different day.

Unexpectedly, after a night of rest, the village chief came back to life. He sat up from the coffin and looked at the villagers wearing sackcloth and mourning around him, confused:

“What’s going on? Who’s dead? Why are you all dressed like this?”

The village chief came back to life, and his words and deeds were exactly the same as those of a normal person. The villagers were not afraid of him, so they told the story of what had happened.

The village chief was very surprised. He subconsciously touched his body and discovered an astonishing fact:

He is indeed dead.

He has no heartbeat, no breathing, and no human hunger. He is just a living dead person with a conscious soul in a shell of his life.

This discovery made the villagers silent, and no one knew why this happened.

But they didn’t dare to ask Ah Pup because they were the ones who deceived Ah Pup first and failed to complete the task required by Ah Pup. They were afraid of being blamed by Ah Pup.

In the following days, everyone in the village, like the village chief, first died and then was resurrected.

The villagers who drank the water from the well turned into the living dead one by one. They achieved immortality in another sense.

But at the same time, there was no new baby in the village.

The villagers originally planned to break their promise to Ah Pup so that their descendants would grow up healthy and healthy without drinking well water, but they had no descendants.

The moment they drank the well water, their bodies had begun to decay, and they had long lost the ability to continue their family lineage. They would exist in this world forever.

Is immortality and immortality really what they want?

No, this is terrible.

They have no descendants and cannot continue their bloodline; they are even afraid that one day outsiders will discover the secret and study them as monsters.

They can only huddle in this ravine for many years, facing the same group of people forever and ever, suffering and despairing.

what can we do about it?

Go and ask A-Pup, my ancestor is so capable, she will have a solution, right?
