The lame old man greeted me and Guan Ting with a smile on his face, and the rest of the people also came around with smiles on their faces.
However, the smiles of these people always make me feel a little too weird in my eyes.
It felt like the smiles on their faces, although they came from the bottom of their hearts, were very wrong and always had a somewhat sinister feel to them.
Soon, these people welcomed us into the middle and largest room in this place.
"We probably fled to this place during the Song Dynasty to avoid disasters. We originally wanted to linger here and spend the rest of our lives. Unexpectedly, God was so kind that he actually asked us to stay here. The longevity grass found in this place has actually kept us alive until now!"
After sitting down, before I could ask too much, the lame old man began to tell his own story about their situation.
However, although the other party spoke very vividly, I always felt that these people gave me a very weird feeling.
Especially when I think of the human skin fluttering in the wind on the pole outside, I feel even more uneasy.
But now I don't feel any malice from these people, and the other people seem to be very enthusiastic, so naturally I am conceited.
Of course, if things go wrong, I will definitely fall out.
And now I am also quietly observing the situation here with my heavenly vision, and at the same time I am also watching the people here.
However, according to my celestial vision, there is nothing weird about this place.
Even the people inside and outside the room didn't have any problems.
But the more this happened, the more I felt something was wrong.
This feeling is actually a kind of reminder in the dark.
One of my hands at this time was also quietly placed on the Tianbao on my body to prevent sudden accidents.
When I looked at Guan Ting, I also saw her shaking her head at me.
In fact, I just realized that Guan Ting was using the secret technique of Soul Dao to explore the situation of these people.
And now judging from Guan Ting's reaction, there is nothing unusual about these people's souls.
However, even after my celestial observation and Guan Ting's exploration of their souls, my wariness was still not completely eliminated.
"Old man, have you always had so many people?"
I also asked the lame old man at this time.
The lame old man said with a wry smile: "To be fair to our distinguished guests, although we are fortunate to have received the longevity grass and can live forever without worries, we have also been cursed. We can neither conceive nor remain pregnant forever. What you see of us is like this appearance!"
"You mean you don't want immortality?"
Guan Ting asked directly.
The lame old man sighed and said, "Although immortality is good, losing the joy of being a human being is also a disaster!"
After hearing what the other party said, Guan Ting and I also looked at each other, and then I asked the lame old man: "If you can live forever? What is the origin of the human skin on the pole outside?"
When I asked this question, I suddenly noticed that the atmosphere in the room had changed in an instant.
Moreover, even the outside of the room became quiet, as if even the air had solidified.
I couldn't help but become nervous. The fingers of the hand that was quietly placed on Tianbao were now clenched, ready to deal with danger at any time.
"Those human skins are all immortals like us, but in the end they couldn't bear it anymore and chose to short-circuit themselves!"
After a brief moment, the lame old man said in a deep voice.
I slightly loosened my grip on Tianbao, which I originally held tightly, because I was really worried about the other party suddenly getting angry and taking action.
"Does that mean that after they died, you skinned them off?"
Guan Ting asked again.
I couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when I heard her way of asking questions.
Sure enough, when Guan Ting finished speaking, the lame old man also turned his head and looked towards her.
In fact, everyone inside and outside the room turned their heads and looked towards her.
"Yes! Because if you don't do this, they will come back from the dead! Turn into monsters!"
As a result, what surprised me was that the lame old man was not angry. Instead, he said these words with great fear in his tone.
When I heard what he said, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.
"Demon? Dad, what's going on?"
I also asked with emotion, of course to ease the tense atmosphere.
The lame old man sighed heavily again, and then began to talk about the situation of people who were skinned off and found themselves dead. They were originally immortal people like them.
And through what the other person said, I also learned that after the person who committed suicide died, they would actually "come back to life" again.
However, when they were resurrected again, they seemed to have changed their temperaments, becoming extremely cruel and terrifying.
Even those who have lived together for a long time, these people who have been resurrected from the dead, will take action against them without any scruples.
At that time, some of them were also killed, but the extremely strange thing was that the people killed by the resurrected people could not be resurrected again!
This also made them feel frightened. At first, they imprisoned the resurrected person.
But they found that they couldn't be locked up at all, and whether they were burned with fire or submerged underwater, they couldn't be solved.
Later, after the lame old man had a dream, he thought of a way to deal with these resurrected people, which was to peel off their human skin.
And after they followed the lame old man's method and peeled off the human skin of the resurrected person, it turned out that the method in the dream was indeed fulfilled.
Moreover, in order to warn other living people, the lame old man hung the human skins on the pole.
After listening to this, I just felt a creepy feeling.
Because, no matter whether this thing is true or false, it is still very strange and abnormal.
After becoming immortal, even if he wanted to die, he couldn't die, and he was even resurrected again!
And the way to deal with such resurrected people is to peel off their human skin!
At this time, I saw the lame old man, as well as the people inside and outside the room, all wiping tears.
From the looks of it, they looked really sad and grieving.
