The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 375
I was taken aback: "Human slough? Humans can also shed cicadas? How is this possible? Is she a human or not a cicada..."

I found it incredible that even though I found that woman abnormal, she was never connected with Cicada.

Old Xiao poured another glass of wine, picked up the glass and wanted to drink it, I hurriedly stopped him: "Xiao Bo, Xiao Bo, it's almost done, don't drink too much to delay things."

Old Xiao smiled: "This little wine is not enough to drink too much. During this period of time, I haven't even had a full meal, let alone wine."

The third uncle waved his hand: "Old Xiao, Lao Xiao, just ignore him, just keep drinking and talking, what's going on with that woman's cicada shedding?"

Lao Xiao nodded: "As far as I know, there is a strange custom in the Goddess Village. After a girl is born, she has to go through a process of selecting a goddess. After being selected as a goddess, she will be the female leader of the entire Goddess Village in the future. supreme power."

Hearing this, I couldn't help asking: "Uncle Xiao, isn't Goddess Village just a village after all? It's not a palace, so what if it enjoys supreme power?"

Lao Xiao glanced at me and said with a smile: "Then you are wrong. No one can understand the secret of the Goddess Village for many years. Even if no one leads the way, no one can find the specific address of the Goddess Village. I am a Outsiders, even though they followed Liang Yue to the Goddess Village, they can't find out even a tiny bit of secrets."

I asked curiously: "Could it be...that woman who sloughed off cicadas is a goddess?"

Old Xiao shook his head: "She doesn't count, she can only be regarded as a candidate for a goddess. Under normal circumstances, the goddess village will select three to five candidates for the goddess, and let them go through a process of experience before finally selecting A true goddess."

The third uncle asked: "Old Xiao, that woman who sloughed off the cicada, is it the so-called experience?"

Lao Xiao nodded and said: "That's right. After the baby girl in Goddess Village is confirmed as a Goddess candidate after birth, she will be injected with a drug, which is similar to the hormone in the body of a cicada. Then the baby's growth will be controlled by this They are controlled by a kind of drug, and they will not grow like normal people. They will go through a special kind of molt, which is similar to the phenomenon of cicada molt, and transform into normal people after they grow up to teens. Girls after cicada molt , there will be another gladiatorial fight. The final winner will become the new Goddess of the Goddess Village and lead the entire Goddess Village."

"The one who wins becomes a goddess, but what about the one who fails?"

"Goddess fights, never dies. Those who fail, of course die." Old Xiao said with a sigh.

I was very indignant when I heard this: "What kind of custom is this? This is too cruel? What era is this?"

The third uncle patted me on the shoulder: "Nephew, please be safe and don't be impatient. This mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and it is not surprising that there are some strange customs. Didn't you listen to what Lao Xiao said just now, no one will lead the way, and I want to find the Goddess Zhaidu Difficult. Such a place, isolated from the world, is likely to be a traditional custom handed down from the ancestors."

Lao Xiao patted his thigh: "Yes, yes, that's what happened. I followed girl Yue into the Goddess Village, and I accidentally ran into and rescued that girl. I saw she was pitiful, and when I left the Goddess Village, I secretly brought her out. I was thinking of using my method to help her get rid of the cicada sloughing phenomenon, but who knew that the effect would be minimal. I had no choice but to find this warehouse, which happened to have a cellar below. I hid her below. But she still maintains her eccentricity. She can only live safely when she is hung on the cellar. And I am planning her life. If she waits until she is fully transformed, she will be in trouble, and I will not be able to control her by then. I was also in the freight yard and called Mr. Wu. In addition, there were some wandering ghosts in the freight yard, so I caught them and made them make a fuss. won't come here anymore."

It turned out that the haunting here was actually caused by Lao Xiao.

I looked at Old Xiao and asked, "Uncle Xiao, you mean you have been to the Goddess Village? Where is Liang Yue now?"

Old Xiao glanced at me: "Don't worry, girl Yue is fine for the time being, but the reason I brought you here is that we have to find a way to take her away from the Goddess Village. Now she is just a little troublesome and can't get away."

I became even more anxious after hearing this: "Uncle Xiao, you keep saying that she is in trouble. What happened to her? I am so anxious..."

The third uncle was next to me, glared at me, and scolded: "You are worthless, can you calm down? Be calm, nephew. Isn't Lao Xiao telling us? Since he said that Yue girl is fine for the time being, then Just don't worry, wait until Lao Xiao finishes talking."

Old Xiao waved his hand: "It's all right, I know Li Yang is worried about Yue girl's safety, I understand. In fact, Liang Yue is in Shennv village right now, and I can take you there when tomorrow dawns. But I only went in and out once. , I don’t know if I can still find it.”

"Uncle Xiao, I heard Mr. Wu talk about Liang Yue's life experience. She said that she found her biological parents after she came back. So, her biological parents are..."

Lao Xiao nodded: "That's right. Liang Yue's parents are from the Goddess Village. And Liang Yue was identified as one of the five Goddess candidates just after she was born. Oh, by the way, there are still some candidates for this kind of Goddess among them. This name is Duo Nu. It means that these five are all budding flowers, but only one will finally bloom."

"Duo Nu? Liang Yue is Duo Nu?" Third Uncle asked in surprise.

Old Xiao kept his composure, and continued: "That's right, Yue girl is also a poor person. Since she was born, her life path has been doomed. At the beginning, she will be injected with drugs to carry out human transformation. After a successful human transformation, you have to fight with other Duo Nu. It’s okay to win, and you can become a Goddess, supreme. Although you can’t leave the Goddess Village for a lifetime, at least you still have your life. If you lose, this life will be lost. Gone. What is even more frightening is that most of the people in the Goddess Village agree with such a way of life. It has never changed for hundreds of years. Moreover, the children in their own family can be selected as Duo Nu. It's an extremely honorable thing. They don't even think about the fate of the child."

After listening to Lao Xiao's words, I deeply felt that there were too many unreasonable problems hidden in such a closed village.Such a custom, if placed in modern society, must be intolerable by law and morality.But Goddess Village has continued this custom for hundreds of years.

When the third uncle heard this, he nodded and said: "I see, it must be that Liang Yue's parents still have some conscience. They didn't want their daughter to become a flower girl, so they sent Liang Yue out of the Goddess Village and sent her to Liang Yue. The home of her adoptive parents, so that Liang Yue did not stay in Shennvzhai, and was able to live in the way of modern people."
