Chapter 210 Should we find a way to forgive him?
Meng's mother was stunned.
Meng Yu's words caused an uproar among the villagers present.
What does it mean that she was in her father's belly?
The implications of this are even more perplexing and terrifying than the fact that these living people were already dead.
I can't even eat Si Xingran beef jerky anymore.
He's a pervert, but not to the point of being extremely grotesque.
He had thought of it, but Meng's dull mind was still subconsciously avoiding the point.
She asked blankly, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could you be in your father's belly?"
"Mother, what do you think you're giving to Father?" Meng Yu smiled, but it looked more like she was crying.
Mother Meng: "No, isn't it Tai Sui?"
“Yes, it’s Tai Sui…” Meng Yu’s smile became even more unsightly.
She couldn't continue speaking; her eyes seemed to be lost in some painful memory.
"Tai Sui?" Lu Xiang looked at Lin Sui thoughtfully. "Is it the one I know?"
Lin Sui's eyes were calm: "If you've also checked Baidu Encyclopedia, then it's highly likely."
Tai Sui, also known as Rou Lingzhi, is described in ancient texts as resembling meat, attached to wood and stone, and being a living organism. The red variety resembles coral, the white variety resembles fat, and the black variety resembles lacquer...
"Black...mold?" Tangxi blinked.
Lin Sui nodded: "Modern biology believes that Tai Sui is a large slime mold complex, between fungi and protozoa, and belongs to a rare biological resource."
"Legend has it that eating Tai Sui can grant immortality, but this cave god only says it can grant longevity. He probably knows very well that if he really said it could grant immortality, probably no one would believe it."
"But if it can cure diseases, save lives, and prolong life, many people suffering from illness will indeed try it out with the mentality of 'nothing to lose'."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiang smiled and teased Yu Cinian, "It seems that this Cave God is just like our Teacher Yu, very good at manipulating people's hearts."
“How can anyone compare to Miss Lu?” Yu Cinian’s eyes curved slightly. “With just a few words, she got two men to fight to the death for her… If our squad leader saw this, he would definitely find it quite spectacular.”
Lin Sui: "???" Why is it her business again?
Seeing that the two were about to start exchanging sarcastic remarks, Si Xingran's eyes lit up: "Want to fight? I'll be the referee, and you can sign a waiver!"
"Sure!" Tang Xi's eyes also lit up, clearly enjoying the spectacle.
Lu Xiang and Yu Cinian: "..."
Li Ye's temples throbbed, and he stepped in between the group with a blank expression to prevent them from actually fighting.
Lin Sui, who was keeping an eye on the villains' movements out of the corner of her eye, sighed silently.
As expected, Bing Datou is still the most reliable.
Why don't you find a way to forgive him?
However, now was clearly not the time to consider that, and Lin Sui turned his attention back to Meng Yu.
At this moment, Meng Yu barely managed to steady her trembling voice and looked directly at her mother, saying each word clearly, "That's not just the Tai Sui, but also my flesh!"
Meng's mother's face turned completely pale.
She was already slumped on the ground, and upon hearing this, she could no longer hold on and collapsed, feeling dizzy.
The husband ate his daughter's flesh...
It turned out that the white, fat-like lump was not their illusion.
That was real meat, their daughter's meat.
Tears streamed down her face. With her eyes closed and mouth agape, Meng's mother let out a silent roar.
Meng Yu was their youngest child.
How could they not like it or not care?
They were so eager for her to be chosen by the gods because they were afraid that if the two of them passed away, there would be no one to support her.
In the end, it harmed her and her whole family.
How could Meng's mother accept this?
Meng Yu looked at her, her eyes once again filled with pain.
She will never forget that day.
I will never forget that inhuman nightmare.
She thought she would finally see the gods and receive their blessings.
What awaited them was a brutal torture akin to being torn to pieces.
It was so dark there that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, and she didn't know what the other person was.
She felt an extremely sinister aura that made her scalp feel like it was about to explode, and a chill ran through her from head to toe, even her bones felt cold.
She felt an unprecedented fear, and she wanted to escape.
However, the powerful pressure froze them in place, rendering them unable to move.
Then, she clearly felt her scalp being ripped open.
The other person grabbed her skull and pulled it upwards bit by bit, completely pulling out all the bones from her body.
Her remaining flesh and blood became the best nutrients for the black mold, and also the best material for transporting the mold.
The mold was trapped inside her flesh, squeezed and clumped together.
By the time it was delivered to her father, her blood had already been absorbed by the mold, leaving only a white clump, which really looked just like the legendary fleshy Ganoderma lucidum.
Finally, her father, completely unaware of the situation, ate it all, bite by bite.
She stayed in her father's belly for a full half month.
I watched helplessly as my father's body was gradually corroded by black mold.
There was nothing she could do.
It wasn't until half a month later, when her father's body, which had been completely eroded, was entirely controlled by mold, that she regained her freedom.
It was as if she had personally brought back the divine Tai Sui, and no one was surprised by her sudden appearance.
She was fully aware of and involved in every single step of the process from beginning to end.
She should have died the moment her bones were ripped out alive.
I still deeply understand that kind of pain that is worse than death.
So how could she not hate?
Since the truth has already been revealed, let's just kill them all.
Her long hair moved without wind, and a dense ghostly aura surged around her. Meng Yu suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes bloodshot.
"Ah!" Suddenly, without warning, a villager was lifted upside down and into the air.
Just as Meng Yu was about to crush him to death, a golden light shone down, forcing her to release the villager while steadily dragging him to the ground safely.
A plume of black smoke rose from Meng Yu's body, causing her face to contort in pain for a moment.
She glared at Lin Sui hatefully: "Why, why do you have to go against me?!"
Lin Sui: "??? Didn't you guys lead me here first?"
This is just shifting the blame, like a dung beetle jumping high in the toilet—it's going too far.
Meng Yu knew this, of course, and it was precisely because she knew it that she felt an even stronger sense of powerless anger.
Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to give it our all.
Meng Yu whispered, "Sisters, there's no need to hide anymore, come out."
In an instant, a cold wind howled in, and the temperature plummeted to freezing.
As the villagers shivered from the cold, someone suddenly cried out in terror, "Ghosts! So many ghosts!"
Because they feared that Meng Yu was a ghost, she created a vacuum around herself, and no one dared to approach.
At this moment, however, stood a dense crowd of hundreds of figures, all of whom were all too familiar to them.
Their elder sisters, younger sisters, aunts...
Lin Sui's gaze fell on the figure at the very front.
She was a bright young girl dressed in local attire, but her eyes revealed an indescribable sense of aging.
Lin Sui called out her name immediately: "Yang Meiyi?"
"As expected of Master Lin." Yang Mei smiled and said, "No wonder Lord Dong Shen went to great lengths to get rid of you."
Lin Sui said calmly, "Then I'm afraid He will be disappointed."
Yang Mei shook her head: "No, He will not be disappointed. As the most devout believer of the Cave God, I will grant His wish."
There were more than 120 vengeful ghosts present.
She believed that no matter how powerful Lin Sui was, he couldn't fight against so many opponents.
A mocking "Hiss!" rang out, particularly grating.
Yang Mei's eyes changed instantly, shooting towards Si Xingran like a sharp blade: "What are you laughing at?"
"Laugh at your stupidity," Si Xingran said lazily. "The one who killed you was that so-called Cave God, yet you still risked your lives for Him."
He raised an eyebrow and glanced sideways at Yang Meiyi: "You've lived for almost ninety years, and you can't even figure this out? You're so stupid, even an idiot could be your teacher."
Yang Meiyi has been a vengeful ghost for seventy years, so she has a certain level of willpower.
These words somehow provoked her, and she became so angry that she conjured a ball of ghostly energy and slapped it towards Si Xingran's chest.
Unfortunately, before the ghostly energy could get close, it crashed into the protective array barrier set up by Lin Sui and was instantly destroyed.
This made Yang Meiyi even more disgusted: "What do you know?!"
With a wave of her hand, the wizard's body, which had been in the Yang family's courtyard, flew over and slammed heavily in front of her.
She pointed at the wizard and said coldly, "If it weren't for him, none of this would have happened. He's the real culprit!"
Lin Sui smoothly continued, "Back then, your father secretly drowned you in the river. Why?"
"What else could it be?" Yang Mei sneered. "Of course, it's because he's a beast, worse than a pig or a dog!"
Eighty or ninety years ago, the villages hidden deep in the mountains were still uncivilized.
Buying and selling children and wives are commonplace occurrences.
Some penniless hooligans and scoundrels simply resort to kidnapping and robbery.
Her mother was secretly taken back by the sorcerer.
At that time, the wizard was an old bachelor in his early forties who spent his days stealing chickens and idling around.
Even after taking her mother back, they didn't treat her well and drove her crazy.
When she got a little older, they reached out their evil clutches to her again.
Even though her mother tried her best to stop him and protect her, she still couldn't stop his bestial behavior.
As a result, her mother went even crazier, and she was no better off. In her anger, she wanted to fight him to the death, but she was hit on the head and fell into a coma due to serious injuries.
Fearing that her shameful act would be exposed, the wizard secretly drowned her in the river, trying to make it look like she had fallen in and drowned herself.
Even without the Cave God, she would still die.
On the contrary, it was thanks to the Cave God that she had the opportunity to take revenge.
"Then what about your mother? Isn't she the most innocent one?" Lin Sui asked again.
"So the cave god told me to let her go. In the eyes of the villagers, the fact that she recovered from her illness and then died during childbirth was just a smokescreen to deceive them."
At this point, Yang Meiyi closed her eyes devoutly and said, "Thank you, God."
Lin Sui's expression was complicated: "Is it possible that you are the one who has been misled?"
Yang Mei was taken aback.
Lin Sui: "You probably don't know this, but in this village, besides Old Man Meng's aunt, there is another person who can always see everything clearly. She was the one who witnessed you being drowned in the river when you were only ten years old."
“In her eyes, your mother was indeed corrupted by mold, and she was not released as you said.”
Yang Meiyi was stunned.
"No! Impossible!" she roared, her face contorted in rage. "You're lying to me! You're lying to me!"
As her emotions fluctuated violently, the ghostly aura emanating from her body surged instantly.
Her emotions also affected the other girls, causing the ghosts to go berserk. The dense ghostly energy mixed with fierce yin winds seemed to want to tear people apart.
Lin Sui knew something was wrong.
These people became ghosts, but they couldn't be ghosts properly and could vent their resentment without restraint.
They've probably been suppressing their pent-up emotions for a long time, and once they erupt, their power will be enough to cause everyone in the Longevity Village to bleed from all seven orifices and die at the same time.
Without further hesitation, Lin Sui quickly drew a talisman and slapped it towards them.
The talisman slowly grew larger in mid-air, and the golden talisman seal was like a giant net, enveloping them all.
Lin Sui then tossed out five more copper coins, which, together with the talisman, formed a Big Dipper formation.
The surging ghostly energy could no longer escape and could only run rampant and crash about within the formation.
"Damn it! Damn it!"
No matter how hard the evil spirits struggled, they could not break through the barrier. Instead, they injured themselves and let out mournful howls.
The howling of ghosts rose and fell, sending chills down one's spine.
Even though the remaining villagers had already hidden far away, they couldn't help but cover their ears tightly in fear.
"Don't waste your energy. No matter how many ghosts you have, you are no match for me," Lin Sui stated calmly.
Yang Mei stared at her with bloodshot eyes, unable to believe that so many of them, these vengeful ghosts, were still powerless against Lin Sui.
Seventy years later, she once again deeply experienced what despair truly meant.
Especially after hearing Lin Sui say that her poor mother hadn't been able to escape at all.
Yang Mei closed her eyes in despair, tears of blood streaming down her face.
After a long while, she opened her eyes, her gaze lifeless: "I did everything. I was the one who deceived everyone first, which led to the deaths of so many innocent people."
"Whether my soul is scattered or I am condemned to eternal damnation, kill me if you want, it has nothing to do with them."
Meng Xiang, who bore a resemblance to Meng Yu, quickly said, "No, I was wrong too. I lied to them, and I even harmed my own niece."
"And me, and me."
"..."
One by one, the girls took the responsibility upon themselves.
Each face, still showing signs of immaturity, bore the same weariness and world-weariness.
The oldest among them is Wu Mingyue, who is only twenty years old.
The youngest was only fifteen years old, an age when they should be in middle school.
Over the years, they have harbored resentment towards Yang Meiyi and others.
Meng Yu, in particular, went to fight with Aunt Meng Xiang the moment she was separated from her father's body.
They were tearing at each other's hair, neither willing to give in.
She even considered killing her aunt at one point.
But Auntie was already dead, so what difference would it make whether she killed her or not?
In the end, all we could do was stick together with her for warmth.
There were over a hundred people, and each of them had their own small cliques. They blamed each other for many years.
But at this moment, they set aside past grievances and became more united than ever before.
The woman, who had been lying on the ground as if unconscious, struggled to her feet and knelt before Lin Sui: "Master Lin, I pushed my daughter into the river with my own hands. Blame me, please, let her go, let Meng Xiang go..."
