Reborn 80,000 Years

Chapter 1,623 Death of Villagers

"Who are you?"

Looking at the sudden appearance of the old man, Yang Chen frowned and slowly put down the drumstick in his hand.

"It doesn't matter who I am, just look at yourself." The old man shook his head when he heard this, and said quietly with a slight sigh in his eyes.

Hearing this, Yang Chen was slightly startled and immediately lowered his head and looked over.

Immediately afterwards, he was horrified to find that his body had turned into white bones at some point? From his waist down, everything turned into a silver-white, hideous skeleton!

And his clothes were already wet with sweat. Did he not notice all this just now?

"What, what's going on?" Seeing this scene, Yang Chen's pupils shrank slightly, and there was a bit of shock in his eyes.

He didn't even notice the changes in his body? Not only that, but even after his body turned into a skeleton, he didn't even notice the slightest pain?

If the old man hadn't suddenly appeared, I'm afraid that Yang Chen wouldn't have noticed at all when his entire body turned into a skeleton.

What exactly is going on?

"Alas!" After hearing this, the old man suddenly sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, and said faintly: "Every year, many people come in here, and they are all like you, affected by the power. They lost their way and confused their minds. In the end, they all ended up looking like humans and ghosts."

Having said this, the old man stepped forward, glanced at the drum in front of Yang Chen and the drumstick in his hand, and said, "You just played a total of nineteen times, right?"

"Yes." Yang Chen nodded calmly after hearing this.

"Nineteen, nineteen..." After hearing this, the old man sighed again, but the look in his eyes suddenly became sad, and he said a little desolately: "Nineteen blows, that is nineteen lives. ...Nineteen lives were lost like this, it’s really sad!”

boom!

Hearing this, Yang Chen was greatly shocked, and his eyes showed shock and surprise. He asked with some confusion: "What nineteen lives? Old gentleman, what are you talking about? I don't understand!"

Hearing this, the old man pondered for a moment and said, "Just keep an eye on it!"

After saying this, he raised his hand without warning and waved his sleeves towards the open space in front of him.

Wow!

In an instant, a fantasy screen suddenly appeared in the open space in front of him, and on the screen, it was a small villa.

Seeing this scene, Yang Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. He recognized this villa. Isn't it the same villa on Tianjian Mountain? At this moment, some mountain people are standing in this mountain villa. Men are farming and women are weaving. They seem to be enjoying themselves.

suddenly.

Boom!

A dull drumbeat suddenly sounded.

The sound of the drum was so loud that it suddenly reached the ears of every villager clearly, and then something incredible happened. As the drum sound fell, a village woman who was washing clothes suddenly shook her body, and then collapsed to the ground without warning.

A circle of golden light suddenly emerged from her body.

This golden light flew directly towards the top of Tianjian Mountain, penetrated into the sky, and finally slowly disappeared into a figure on the top of the mountain, and was sucked into the body of that person.

"this is me?"

Looking at the figure on the top of the mountain, Yang Chen was slightly stunned.

Isn't this person himself?

Before Yang Chen had time to react, he only heard the drum sound of "dong dong dong" rang again!

This time the drum beats were much more rapid than before, and the number of drum beats also increased a lot, reaching as many as eighteen times!

And immediately after.

The same thing happened just now. With each drum beat, a person in the villa collapsed to the ground, as if dead. And after they died, golden light also filled the air from their bodies, and finally flew into the sky.

After these golden lights hovered in the air for a while, they slowly fell down, and were finally absorbed completely by Yang Chen on the top of the mountain.

"This...this is..."

Seeing this scene, Yang Chen's pupils shrank severely, and his heartbeat increased at this moment.

"Could it be that the golden energy I just absorbed came from the lives of these villagers?" Yang Chen swallowed, suppressing the fear in his heart, and said to the old man beside him.

"Did you notice?"

Hearing these words, the old man sighed, his eyes stared closely at Yang Chen in front of him, and said quietly: "Otherwise, why do you think your cultivation level increased so quickly?"

"To tell you the truth, the lives of the villagers in Tianjian Mountain are closely related to these eight-sided drums. In other words, every time your drumsticks fall, someone in this villa will die, and their lives, It will become the nourishment for you to increase your strength."

"However, these villagers did not die naturally, but died in vain! Therefore, after they die, these energies will also carry strong resentment and will eat away at your body step by step, turning you into a human being. Human, ghost or not!"

Boom!

Hearing the old man's words, Yang Chen's heart was shocked again, and the hand holding the drumstick trembled.

Yang Chen never thought that he would become the murderer of the villagers? Although he had no intention of killing, villagers died because of him, and a strong sense of guilt flooded Yang Chen's heart.

"Huh?"

Seeing the guilt in Yang Chen's eyes, the old man raised his eyebrows slightly, with a slightly different look in his eyes, and said curiously: "Are you blaming yourself?"

"Yes." Yang Chen sighed and smiled bitterly: "I really didn't expect that this energy would actually harm the villagers in the mountains... I will never use this drum again!"

After saying this, Yang Chen put the drumstick back in his hand.

"Huh?"

Seeing this scene, the old man was startled again and said in surprise: "Are you really sure? You have to know that the energy contained in this drum is something you can't cultivate in the outside world for several lifetimes!"

"Although it will eat away at your body, with your current level of cultivation, you will be able to fully recover your body within a few hundred years after you leave!"

"Even so, do you want to give up this powerful energy?"

The old man asked from behind, his tone full of endless temptation.

However.

Yang Chen was unmoved. As if he had already made a decision, he slowly turned around and said leisurely: "Old sir, I have made up my mind and will not use this drum again!"

"Since the mountain people died because of me, I cannot absolve myself of the blame! I will bury the dead villagers and give their descendants a settlement allowance! Although it is difficult to make up for their deaths, this is what I can do The biggest limit!”
