After Being Reborn, I Tortured The Vicious Sister-in-law - Chapter 188

Chapter 188: Sacrificing Children

“I didn’t expect these people to be so vicious, using children as sacrifices.” Su Meng gritted her teeth and cursed.

What made Su Meng the most angry was not the discovery of the dead, but the posture of these dead people. These five children who died in the stone pillar each maintained the posture of their hands facing upwards. This was the posture of wanting to crawl out!

The person closest to Su Meng among the five black-clothed men asked, “Excuse me, what does sacrifice mean?”

Su Meng took a deep breath to calm herself down. Then, she slowly said, “Sacrifice is to use the lives of living people in exchange for a safe and smooth array formation.”

“These bones seem to be quite old. They were not made recently. In the past, everyone placed great importance on children. They believed that having a son to carry on the family line was the most important thing. Some people were born with the fate of having a daughter. In order to have a son, some people thought of a way to exchange a life for a life.”

“A living boy was stuffed into a pre-processed stone pillar. Then, Ten Kings of H*ll were carved on the outside of the stone pillar to suppress him. There are two purposes for this. One is to prevent the little ghost from taking revenge, because it is rumored that the child who died in vain will turn into a vicious ghost and take revenge on the person who caused their death. The second purpose is to allow the child’s soul to be quickly reincarnated so that they can have a son.”

“Does this mean that the dead child will be reincarnated into their own family? Aren’t they afraid of retribution using this method?” the man could not help but ask again.

After saying that, he realized that he had said too much. Although he had never seen the woman in front of him, he could tell that the two of them had a close relationship when he saw how close she was to Wei Ting and how Wei Ting’s gaze was on her. Talking too much with his boss’ woman, he really had enough of living.

Su Meng didn’t know what was going on in his heart. When she heard his question, she answered seriously, “Of course they are afraid. That’s why they will forever imprison the child’s bones. Legend has it that if the bones cannot be buried, then the soul will have no memories of its past life. Naturally, there will be no revenge.”

“So, each of the bones here represents people who wanted to have children?” Wei Ting frowned. He didn’t know much about feng shui, let alone this so-called sacrifice.

Su Meng shook her head and continued, “The purpose of doing this is not only to have children, but also to beg for safety and fulfill wishes. Have you heard of raising little ghosts? It’s similar to that.”

“But I was only talking about a single one. There are five of these skeletons here. Look at the bottom of these stone pillars.”

As Su Meng finished speaking, everyone looked in the direction that Su Meng had indicated. They saw two stones the size of a football under the stone pillars. There was a symbol drawn on each of them with red ink.

“In feng shui, 5 and 2 are called Five Yellow and Two Black. They represent the Star of Calamity and the Star of Sickness. This formation was set up here in conjunction with the sacrifice. It represents that all the bad luck in the village has disappeared. What’s left is good luck.”

“This formation has a drawback. That is, the bad luck will not disappear for no reason. Instead, it will accumulate and eventually pass on to someone else. I don’t know who is so unlucky that all the bad luck has passed on to that person, so it’s safe and sound here now.”

The man next to her asked, “Then how do we deal with these bones?”

Su Meng lowered her head and thought for a moment, then turned around and asked Wei Ting, “Regarding the matter of the village chief abducting and selling children back then, do you have any evidence?”

“Yes, I’ve already collected them,” Wei Ting replied.

“Then let’s play a game. However, the most important thing now is to find your missing person first.” After Su Meng finished speaking, she continued to touch the wall.

Although she didn’t say what she wanted to do, Wei Ting immediately understood what she meant.

“Leave these few skeletons here for now. Don’t let any unrelated people come.” After Wei Ting finished speaking, he walked to Su Meng’s side and looked at the wall with her.

“Yes!” A few men in black answered in a low voice. Then, they spread out on their own. Two of them stood in the cave while the other three stood outside to watch.

There was the sound of water dripping in the cave, which meant that there was probably another exit inside. However, the strange thing was that Wei Ting was not the only one who could not hear it. Even the two men in black who were standing guard at the side could not hear it.

Since she could not rely on anyone else, Su Meng could only rely on herself.

She knocked left and knocked right. Su Meng was like a martial arts master in a TV series who was looking for a secret chamber. She looked at the two men in black beside her with black lines all over their heads.
