Chapter 225 The best ending
The two of them used any method they could think of to save people, but their personal strength was too weak in the face of this plague.
However, at this time something that made them even more desperate happened, and the junior sister seemed to have symptoms of being infected with the plague.
The senior sister felt extremely guilty and felt that she had implicated the other party.
Regardless of the other party's opposition, he went to seek medical treatment and asked for medicine on his back... Where can I buy these things at this time?
According to them, when they were about to accept their fate, they met a man who claimed to be a Taoist temple chef. He said that he once wanted to practice a mage and became a master on a mountain, but the other party thought that his qualifications were too poor, so he became an outer disciple, that is, a servant. However, he would occasionally teach them some magic methods, etc.
The man said that he happened to know a set of methods that might help them, not only saving the junior sister but also saving the whole village.
The two of them were at a loss at this time. When they heard this, they were like catching the last straw. They agreed without thinking. After all, they were penniless now, and their junior sister was unfortunately infected with the plague. The senior sister seemed to have signs... Even if they wanted to lie to them, there was nothing worth cheating. So they were eager to pass on the other party to them this method and promise to repay him as a cow and a horse.
The man said that knowing oneself was a fate, and he often listened to his master's teachings in the past years that he learned the arts was to help others and to support the right path in the world.
The two believed in each other more deeply and were full of gratitude when they heard this.
Then the man told them that this method is that one of them must become the guardian saint of the village, so that the people in the village can be protected.
When the two of them heard this, wasn’t this just creating a god by themselves?
I just heard that it is not that easy to become a god. They are all ordinary people, so how can they become the patron saints of the whole village?
But thinking that this might be the only hope, I responded and did it one by one according to the man's instructions.
Because my junior sister's condition was even worse, she became the guardian of the bento, and her senior sister's condition was better, she became the night watchman of the ancestral hall.
After the production was made, the senior sister returned to the village with the patron saint tablet and worshiped her devoutly. As expected, the situation in the village gradually improved, and instead became the safest place in the nearby townships.
...The village was preserved like this.
The village built a ancestral hall and worshipped the guardian god. The senior sister vowed not to marry and guard the tablets for her whole life.
The parents could only agree to their daughter's decision, and the villagers were also grateful, and people sent offerings almost every day.
It was very good at the beginning. The village was prosperous under the protection of the patron saint, and the weather was good, both for people and animals.
But gradually something went wrong. About two years later, a person died in the village, and then the senior sister heard her dream tell her that there was one more person outside her tablet, which was the soul of the villager who died before.
Although the man was very ordinary when he was alive before, he was very fierce after becoming a ghost, and he occupied all the things he worshiped every time.
At first, when it was all in the same village, I thought that it was nothing if the other party had just died and wanted to eat more offerings, so it was hard to fight for it. However, this situation continued for several months, and the other party did not consider other people's situation at all.
Since they all live in tablets and enjoy the worship of villagers, they should also do the things that villagers pray for. But that person is not. He seems to have become a ghost and infinitely magnified his originally selfish side. He only enjoys the offerings and lingers in the ancestral hall every day with a violent aura. So every time the villagers have something to do, the junior sister still comes to help, but occasionally people will worship incense and candles in this process so that the junior sister will not dissipate by spending her soul.
Later, more and more people in the village were born, old age, sickness and death, and all those who died gathered on the tablets.
So we gradually reached a balance, whether kind or selfish, we restrict each other.
But they all have one thing in common, from the original gratitude for this patron saint to resentment.
Yes, when they were about to die and had no way to ask for help, they were very grateful to the patron saint for protecting them, but now they are dead, and although they can still stay in this world, they can neither reunite with their relatives nor show off in the world, nor have any freedom to enjoy. It is even worse than going to jail.
So they began to hate this patron saint, who was trapped here.
The guardian in this tablet was originally an ordinary soul with a little magical power because she was worshipped and believed. The difference between her and these souls was that one was in the tablet space and the other was outside the tablet.
In addition, she is kind by nature and has a weak aura, so she is even less likely to compete with the people she once blessed, so she can't even get a gift in the end.
Even if you want to go out to help other villagers who come to pray, you will be besieged... A storm of cold wind will be set off in the ancestral hall.
Only after the senior sister died did she know what happened to her junior sister. She was also depressed. She thought that in order to save the people in the village, they also saved themselves on the one hand and paid such a great price. Even if they were not grateful, they should not be so excluded.
She has a much tougher personality. Anyway, everyone is a ghost. If you dare to bite me, I will dare to bite you. Whoever is afraid of whom!
Now, she can at least grab some offerings and pass them to her junior sister to share them together.
By the time of the third generation of night watchmen, the last grandma, it had already made a complete agreement that all the offerings of the villagers were handed over to the night watchmen to worship.
Of course, at this time, the ancestral hall was full of ghosts, and few villagers were willing to set foot. Ordinary people were unwilling, but they inevitably had some curiosity or illusions. Some other guys tried every means to get in.
Most of them were frightened by the heavy ghosts and storms and even scared to death by the wind, so they were basically neglected here, and in the end they were only the night watchmen insisted on it from generation to generation.
Because the village's fortune is getting lower and lower, the population is gradually decreasing, and the villagers' supplies are also getting fewer...
As the wizard who had warned the grandma before said, even if the problem has not erupted here now, the ghost riot is only a matter of time sooner or later, and sooner or later it will become a ghost realm.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to interfere, but that he can’t control it with his strength.
Not to mention that the power of hundreds of ghosts is far from being able to deal with, and the karma of the cause and effect of these ghosts... If you intervene rashly, not only will it not be able to solve the problem, but it will explode in advance.
In his words, we can only wait for someone with more ability to appear.
Or... when the tablet loses its restraining power and the ghost problem completely breaks out, you can let go without caring about the karma of cause and effect, or you can do it.
It's like abscess on the body. You can only do it if you wait until it completely emerges from under the skin and becomes suppurated.
