Chapter 3: Bustling Village (Seeking Collection and Recommendation)

  The one who made the sound was Yi Tian himself, and Ku Gu... Ah, this guy is tragic again!

  The development of things is somewhat unexpected, and the detailed situation is as follows...

  Two souls tearing at each other in the sea of consciousness, Yi Tian was at a clear disadvantage, although he had used all his strength, unfortunately, he still hadn't escaped the calamity of being devoured by the soul.

  Although Ku Gu's soul had devoured Yi Tian's, it hadn't fully digested and merged yet. However, at this point, he had completely occupied Yi Tian's Sea of Consciousness and body, which meant that Ku Gu had now become 'Yi Tian'.

  "Haha, heaven won't destroy me after all! I've finally succeeded in seizing the shed, and with another thousand years of cultivation, I'll still be the mighty Skeleton King, dominating the winds and clouds!" The skeleton shouted triumphantly.

  But he was a bit too early to rejoice, just as he had not yet dominated the situation, suddenly, the sea of consciousness changed drastically, and two curses emerged from the endless sea of consciousness, transforming into two thick black pythons, opening their bloody mouths wide, and quickly wrapping him in swirling black mist.

  Ku Gu's powers were completely gone at this time, and after half a year of consumption, his soul was already very fragile. Seeing the situation at this time, his face changed greatly, "Ah...... who can tell me what's going on?"

  Miraculously, there was a voice in the sea of consciousness that told him the answer. "Hmph, Yi Tian, after you go to the underworld, don't blame this wizard. Eighteen years ago, I received someone else's entrustment and cast a curse on you. You absolutely cannot live past eighteen years old. When the time comes, the curse will automatically take effect and attack your soul, making you die without leaving any trace. In order to let you die with a clear understanding, this sentence was attached to the curse. Alright, you can rest assured and leave now! Haha..."

  "What?"

  Ku Gu finally understood what was going on, he now had an urge to vomit blood, unfortunately he had no blood to spit out, his whole body was frozen stiff like ice, if he had a heart, it would have been frozen and shattered into pieces.

  After coming back to his senses, the skeleton looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh. "Heavens, why is it like this? The heavens are unjust!"

  In an instant, the curse would completely destroy the soul of the withered bones, and at the same time, the curse would also disappear completely.

  The witch mistakenly took the soul of the withered bones as Yitian, while Yitian's soul was preserved intact. Fortunately, the time of devouring was relatively short, and no serious damage was done to his soul.

  At the scene, in addition to the extremely weak soul of Yi Tian, there was also that one-third!

  "Cough, cough, scared me to death! I thought I was really going to die! Who's the bastard trying to kill me? Not letting me live till 18?! Luckily that dead man's skeleton helped block it for me, or else my life would've been in real danger!" Yi Tian thought with a pale face.

  Because of the absurdity of what had happened, Yi Tian was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses. He looked at the golden light-emitting pages beside him and exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? What is this thing? It didn't seem to be here before."

  As he reached out to take it, something unbelievable happened at the moment of contact!

  A flash of golden light, like a golden dragon, rushed towards Yi Tian's soul and merged with him.

  Suddenly, he felt his soul being repaired and consolidated, an indescribable comfort, and a multitude of words emerged in his mind.

  Suddenly, Yi Tian was shocked and opened his eyes wide, stunned on the spot, not knowing what had happened. He even thought he was just dreaming, but those words in his mind were real.

  "What's this? Why are they all ancient texts?" He scratched his head in contemplation.

  Just then, he seemed to hear someone calling him, and his soul was drawn out, as if in a trance, and he woke up.

  He had just opened his eyes to find a pitch blackness in front of him. He blinked rapidly, trying to figure out where he was. Reaching out with his hand, he found that everything around him was made of wooden planks. He tried moving the plank above him several times but couldn't budge it, which left him feeling somewhat annoyed!

  He gritted his teeth and pushed hard, shouting loudly: "Which bastard put such a heavy wooden board on me?" As he spoke, he stood up with a furious face.

  “……”

  His words left the scene in stunned silence!

  Seeing Yi Tian wearing a mourning dress and having a pale face, someone exclaimed: "Oh no, he's risen from the dead, run away quickly!"

  With the shout, all the people in the yard rushed outwards.

  Xu old man was also stunned, staring with wide eyes and an open mouth, looking foolishly at Yi Tian who had already risen from the coffin.

  Yi Tian looked around and was startled to find himself in a coffin. Without hesitation, he jumped out and, with his hands on his hips, questioned Old Man Xu: "Old man, what are you up to? Why did you put me in the coffin? I need an explanation!"

  Seeing Old Xu still standing in place with a foolish expression, Yitian walked over with his hands on his hips and said, "Don't think you can fool people by pretending to be stupid!" He reached out and plucked a few hairs from Old Xu's goatee.

  But Xu Lao didn't seem to feel any pain, and Yi Tian waved his hand in front of Xu Lao's eyes a few times, only to find that Xu Lao had no reaction. Just as he was about to pluck out a few more hairs, Xu Lao came back to his senses, scowling and cursing loudly: "You little brat, you dare to pull my whiskers and ruin the image I use to eat with! See how I'll deal with you!"

  He grabbed a soul-calling banner beside him and hit it on Yitian's body, Yitian saw the situation and didn't think much, quickly escaped, seeing Xu Lao behind him chasing after him relentlessly, he flew out of the courtyard in the direction of the crowd.

  He ran out like this, but outside it was chaotic, and it can be described as "chickens flying and dogs jumping".

  A man wearing a mourning dress and painted with a white face makeup is chasing after a large crowd, no one can remain calm.

  While running, Yi Tian saw some familiar people and couldn't help but smile and greet them, "Hey, Mrs. Li, how come you've gained weight again in just a few days? By the way, what's for lunch at your place today? I'll go to your house to eat later!"

  "Ah...... save me!" Mrs. Li almost fainted.

  "Uncle Zhang, when did your leg get better? How come I didn't know?"

  "Whoosh!" Uncle Zhang didn't say another word and took off at a speed of 100 meters in 10 seconds.

  "Hey, Sister Ali, you've become even more beautiful. How about we find a quiet place to have a good chat just the two of us?"

  "Yi Tian, I...I, it's all my fault towards you...just spare me, okay?" Ali's upper and lower teeth chattered together, making a rattling sound.

  Yi Tian was puzzled by Ali's words, "Sister Ali, where did I wrong you?"

  Ali panicked and replied: "I... I don't know either!" Then she burst into tears.

  Yi Tian saw Xu Lao Tou holding a soul-calling banner chasing after him, he didn't think much about why Ali was crying, and with deep emotion, he grabbed Ali's hand and said: "Ali Jie, tonight under the big locust tree I'll be waiting for you, remember, if we don't meet, it won't disperse!" After saying that, he quickly ran off into the crowd.

  "Wow..." Alice cried even harder.

  "Wang Er, you scoundrel! You still owe me money from last time's fortune-telling. Watch out or I'll peel your windows at night!"

  Wang Er's body stiffened, "I'll give it to you, I'll give you the money, isn't that enough? Please don't chase me!" He looked like he had eaten a sour date, his face scrunched up, and then he pulled out a 100 million yuan bill from his pocket and threw it in Yi Tian's direction. "No need for change, use it to buy some small ghosts down below!"

  The money has been given, but Yi Tian still chased after him. Wang Er cried out in a mournful tone: "I've already given you the money, why are you still chasing me?"

  "Damn it, you actually gave me hell money, are you looking for death?!"

  Wang Er fell to the ground with a thud, like a dog covered in shit.

  "You little scamp, stop right there and watch how I'll deal with you!" Old Xu panted loudly.

  "Cut it out! If you can't run, don't force yourself, or it won't be good for your body!" He said with a mischievous face towards Old Man Xu.

  "Little brat, you're looking for a fight!" Old Xu shouted angrily and quickened his pace.

  What a chaotic scene it was!

  The ground was covered with feathers of chickens, ducks and geese everywhere. Several heads of untied cattle and horses were also frightened and ran away. The two village guard dogs, Dahei and Dahuang, which were well-known to everyone in the village, had already disappeared without a trace.

  Apart from these, there were cotton hats, gloves and scarves scattered all over the place. It's not surprising to see these things in the middle of winter, but what's surprising is that they were all taken off by people themselves, because after running for so long, they were hot apart from being tired!

  Those who are usually poor at sports, surprisingly found that they showed a perfect athletic demeanor, as if there was a rich prize waiting for them in front.

  Seeing this, Yi Tian also came with a temper, the halo of running the fastest in the village belonged to him. He held his breath and whooshed through the crowds, rushing directly to the village entrance. Turning around, he shouted loudly: "Haha, I'm the one who runs the fastest in the village! How's that? Are you all convinced?"

  People who were originally running with their heads down saw Yi Tian suddenly appear in front of them, their faces changed greatly, and they turned around to run in the opposite direction. Seeing this situation, Yi Tian was stunned for a moment, as if he understood something, and shouted out the stiff words of the crowd, "Huh? You guys seem to be very dissatisfied, okay, let's have another match! Haha!"

  No sooner had he finished speaking than he was chasing after these people again.
