C5 Wake

Seeing Aunt Tao's reaction, I couldn't help but ask Zuo Mu in a low voice, what is a five tomb technique.

Zuo Mu told me, the Five Tombs Art is a type of black sorcery, it can revive the dead.

Amongst the Five Tombs Art, the corpses and souls of the four suns that were born at the time of the sun and the sun, along with the Ghost Infant s, were indispensable.

My father, Chunxi and Elder He were all born during the prime of their lives.

After Zuo Mu finished speaking, the Aunt Tao immediately asked me who else qualified in our village.

I don't know what it's like to be born in the sun.

Hearing Aunt Tao ask me, I could only tell her that my Second Sister had told me before, that my mother was my elder sister, Second Sister, and that I was born on the same day.

When the Aunt Tao nodded and said that they were not the same sun, Zuo Mu said that he was willing to go down the mountain at the latest. He could not just sit there and watch the black sorcery.

Hearing that Zuo Mu agreed to go down the mountain, my heart was filled with sorrow and sorrow.

Being able to stay with Zuo Mu for a while longer is something happy for me no matter what, but I also didn't forget that he once said that his master wouldn't let him go down the mountain so easily.

I wanted to remind Zuo Mu that Aunt Tao and Zuo Mu were already walking towards the entrance of the monastery, so I could only swallow the warning that was on my mind.

Aunt Tao brought Zuo Mu and I to walk around our village first. We went to the homes of the village elders to look through their village's roster, but we didn't find anyone born in our village, who was born in the sun and was born in the sun.

Although they did not know why the Aunt Tao wanted to look at the roster, they still cooperated very well with the Aunt Tao's actions. They also guaranteed that they would not mention anything about the Aunt Tao looking at the roster to anyone else.

On the way back to the village, Aunt Tao said that it would save the most time and effort to find people through the register.

When we got to the village, we went directly to the village chief to look at the roster and find out who else was born in the sun, the sun, the moon and the sun.

If the man is alive, or if the body is still there, we can all wait. If the body is gone, we'll have to find out where the five tombs are hidden outside the village.

Zuo Mu objected, saying that they shouldn't be alerted. He said that before we can find the bodies and corpses of the living, we must treat everyone in the village as the person hiding in the dark, including the village chief.

The Aunt Tao laughed softly. She praised the younger generation of Zuo Mu, let me explain what kind of person the village chief is in my eyes.

I was suddenly at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond to Aunt Tao's words.

I poisoned my father, and that poison was given to me by the village chief.

Ever since my Second Sister died, I hated my father to death. I wanted him to die, but I didn't know how.

Right at that moment, the Village Chief appeared.

That day, I was sitting alone at the door in a daze. The village chief passed by my house and stopped to chat with me. He even told me a story.

In the story, the weak were bullied by the strong, so they poisoned the strong.

When the village chief finished his story, he took out two packets of medicine in front of me and said that if those two packets were mixed in the food, whoever ate them would die.

Listening to the Village Head's words, I wanted to get those two bags of medicine from the Village Head and use those two bags of medicine to poison my father.

But I'm just thinking about it. I don't have the money to buy those two bags of pills.

Before leaving, the Village Head took the initiative to give me the two packets of medicine. He said that the medicine mouse was very useful and that he knew that my father would never buy such medicine, and that he gave me the two packets because he found me too pitiful.

After the village chief left, I carefully put away the two bags of medicine.

Then, when my dad came home again, I mixed the two packets of medicine into my dad's food.

Aunt Tao asked me why I didn't speak, so I quickly replied, "I'm not familiar with the Village Chief."

Aunt Tao did not pursue the matter any further, and once again discussed with Zuo Mu how he should act after entering the village.

I kept my head down as I hurried on my way.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the village chief didn't really pity me by giving me those two packets of medicine. He didn't really want me to become a drug rat.

Perhaps, the Village Head was the person in the shadows.

Thinking of this, I was conflicted.

I can't tell Aunt Tao and Zuo Mu that the village chief gave me the medicine. I don't want anyone to know that I poisoned my father.

However, if the person hiding in the darkness was really the village chief, then my concealment would cause Aunt Tao and Zuo Mu to be in danger, and they would have to take many detours.

I was so conflicted that I forgot to look at the road as I walked straight into the deep ditch on the side of the road.

Zuo Mu pulled me out of the deep ditch and asked why I looked like I was in a daze.

I lowered my head and patted the dirt on my body as I looked away from Zuo Mu and Aunt Tao. I said that it was already dark, so it was normal for me to not be able to see the road clearly.

Zuo Mu told Aunt Tao to walk further away, he had something he wanted to say to me alone.

After Aunt Tao had walked far away, Zuo Mu reached out his hands to grab my face and forced me to look straight into his eyes.

I bit my lips and did not speak. After a while, Zuo Mu let go of my hand and nodded, saying that he had betrayed me with his eyes and knew all my secrets.

I immediately panicked and quickly pulled on Zuo Mu's clothes, begging him not to tell Aunt Tao my secret.

Zuo Mu rubbed the top of my head, saying that he's my left big brother. If I don't let him tell Aunt Tao, he naturally won't tell Aunt Tao, but I must personally tell him my secret.

Only by telling my secret through my mouth can my secret become our secret, and he can help me to share half of the psychological pressure.

I didn't doubt him at all, and immediately told Zuo Mu the reason why I poisoned my father. told him that the poison that killed my father was given to me by the Village Chief.

Zuo Mu listened to me quietly. He looked at me with eyes full of pity.

After telling me my deepest secret, my heart suddenly felt a lot more at ease.

Zuo Mu held onto my shoulder with both hands and whispered to me. In the future, my secret will be both of our secret and he will protect me so that I won't suffer anymore.

I squatted on the floor and hugged my knees. I couldn't help but cry, I didn't dare cry out because I was afraid that the Aunt Tao would hear my cry.

Zuo Mu quietly accompanied me, occasionally patting my back.

When I stopped crying, Zuo Mu wiped my tears away and brought me to catch up with Aunt Tao.

The Aunt Tao did not question further, our group travelled in silence.

When we arrived at the village, the whole village was silent and devoid of light, and we went straight to the back of the mountain.

After Zuo Mu looked around, he pointed at the three tombs behind the mountain and said that they were all empty.

Of the three tombs that Zuo Mu was referring to, one is Chunxi's and the other is my Second Sister's. I don't know whose grave the last one is.

The place where my father was previously buried has already been filled to the ground.

I was extremely surprised. When I heard Aunt Tao say that among the three graves, there was Chunxi's grave. And after my father moved her grave, I said that there was also my Second Sister's grave.

I asked Aunt Tao why there weren't any corpses in her grave, since she wasn't born during the prime of her life.

Aunt Tao said that maybe, my Second Sister's body was secretly buried in another grave.

Zuo Mu was certain that he wouldn't, and said that the other graves on the mountain behind the mountain had never been moved.

Aunt Tao let out a long sigh of relief. It seemed like the last person to be born during the sunny days of the new year was still alive, or his corpse had not been stolen.

I will let Zuo Mu have a closer look. Zuo Mu said that he wouldn't be wrong.

Our group stayed at the back of the mountain until the sky brightened, but we didn't discover anything excessive, so we left the back mountain together.

Just as they reached the foot of the mountain, the sound of firecrackers could be heard from the village.

Aunt Tao brought Zuo Mu and I immediately rushed over to the source of the firecrackers. It turned out that the village's Elder Li had just passed away.

Elder Li rarely goes out, he is the oldest person in our village, his family has treated him with great respect.

After we went to pay our respects to Elder Li, Aunt Tao asked the family members of Elder Li about his birthday and the reason for his death.

After receiving the answer, the Aunt Tao told the people of Elder Li that the Elder Li had passed the prime of his youth and had passed away from sickness to death.

If they could follow the old rules and make Elder Li's corpse stay at home for seven days before being buried, the descendants of the Elder Li would receive a lot of blessings.

Aunt Tao's words made the Elder Li's family members stop crying. Aunt Tao will talk later, she wants to bring Zuo Mu and I to guard the Elder Li, so that we can enjoy the happiness.

No one rejected Aunt Tao's suggestion, so Zuo Mu and I followed him and started staying at his house.

The people of Elder Li were very respectful to the Aunt Tao, and when arranging the mourning hall, they would listen to her arrangements.

Zuo Mu told me in secret that Elder Li was born during the Yang Year of the Sun and the Sun, and that Elder Li was already one hundred and eight years old.

Life expectancy was a hundred years, if one could live past a hundred years, the Underworld would specially create a register for them. This was also the reason why the people in the dark could only wait until Elder Li had passed away before making a move.

What we need to do now is first take a good look at Elder Li's corpse, and then wait for Elder Li's head and soul to leave his bones. We will only let ghost servant take away Elder Li's soul.

The villagers came over to pay their respects to the Elder Li one after another. After that, they all left in a hurry.

Zuo Mu looked at the villagers who were passing by coldly. He told me that the villagers seemed to have been scared out of their wits by the recent events, as it would benefit the people in the shadows to carry out their plans.

After the Village Chief followed a few villagers over to express their condolences to the Elder Li, he consoled the family and said his farewells to the Aunt Tao and prepared to leave.

Aunt Tao called over the village chief, telling him to bring the village chief to take a look at the register.

The Village Chief did not question further. He immediately went home to get the list of flowers in the village for Aunt Tao, and asked him if there was anything else he could do.

After the Aunt Tao said that everything was fine, the Village Chief took her leave.

I didn't see anything wrong with the Village Chief's expression. After the Village Chief left, I asked Zuo Mu in a low voice if the Village Chief was hiding somewhere, Zuo Mu said that maybe not.

After looking through the village's register, Aunt Tao told me and Zuo Mu that Elder Li was the last person to be born in the village during the golden years of the sun and the moon.

I stayed at Elder Li's house with Zuo Mu and I, and in the blink of an eye, we had our first night of hell in Elder Li.

In this period of time, two more people died in the village. Aunt Tao, Zuo Mu and I never went out of our house.

When night fell, Aunt Tao would find an excuse to send all the members of the Elder Li's family out of the mourning hall. She would also erect three strange and rough scents in front of Elder Li's coffin and sprinkle them with cinders.

After doing all of this, the Aunt Tao put me in my mourning state, placed a brazier filled with burning charcoal in front of me, and handed me a handful of coffin grass. She told me that if I saw any footprints appearing out of thin air on the ashes, I must throw a coffin grass into the brazier.

After I nodded my head in agreement, Aunt Tao and Zuo Mu both stood behind the coffin, leaving me kneeling in front of it.
