Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

After Ge Wei brought Zhou Liang back, the people of Lao Mountain Village were quite good to Zhou Liang because of the Ge Family.

However, Zhou Liang found that since coming to Lao Mountain Village, Ge Wei, this friend of his, became increasingly strange, insisting on living with him and being overly touchy, making Zhou Liang very uncomfortable.

Just when Zhou Liang couldn’t help but ask Ge Wei to restrain himself a bit, unexpectedly, Ge Wei confessed to Zhou Liang, saying he had liked Zhou Liang for a long time.

Zhou Liang was a man who liked women, open-minded and not discriminatory against homosexual relationships, but he himself was not gay and could not accept liking a man, so he rejected him mercilessly.

Zhou Liang’s rejection was something Ge Wei couldn’t accept at all; in a fit of rage, he actually imprisoned Zhou Liang, not only forcing himself on Zhou Liang but also demanding that Zhou Liang marry him like a woman.

Zhou Liang could not accept a man at all, let alone being forced to have a relationship and marry the person who violated him. What’s more terrifying was that the entire Lao Mountain Village was helping Ge Wei guard Zhou Liang, leaving him no escape.

Finally, in despair, Zhou Liang struck his head and died on the wedding day, cursing everyone in Lao Mountain Village that from then on, they could only give birth to sons and could not marry women from outside the village, as marrying would result in sudden death.

All residents of Lao Mountain Village could not leave for more than three months, or else they would die a violent death.

At first, the people of Lao Mountain Village didn’t take Zhou Liang’s curse seriously, but strangely, people in the village suddenly began to have only sons.

Initially, the people of Lao Mountain Village felt happy, as they valued sons over daughters, believing having sons was far better than daughters.

But slowly, the villagers could no longer feel happy because they found that no daughters were being born in the village anymore.

If there were no girls born in the village, and they couldn’t marry the outside world, it would lead to destruction.

This phenomenon reminded them of Zhou Liang’s curse, and some who didn’t believe in the supernatural attempted to leave Lao Mountain Village, only to die violently shortly after.

The villagers finally began to believe that Zhou Liang’s curse was real, and panic started to spread throughout the village.

The panic reached its peak when the first teenage boy in the village, under his parents’ arrangement, was preparing to marry but died violently before the wedding.

Everyone was terrified and blamed Ge Wei for the disaster he brought upon them, no longer respecting the Ge Family. To appease Zhou Liang’s resentment, they tied up the Ge Family and even the young children, burning them alive to try and calm Zhou Liang’s fury.

But this didn’t work because Zhou Liang resented Ge Wei more as well as the residents of Lao Mountain Village who abetted the wrongdoing. The villagers still gave birth to sons and still couldn’t marry or leave Lao Mountain Village for three months.

Despair spread across the small mountain village. The villagers resented, cursed, and awaited death in despair until one day, an Evil Taoist passed by, accepted the villagers’ money, and provided them with a suggestion.

The Evil Taoist suggested suppression: since Zhou Liang brought the curse, suppressing Zhou Liang wouldn’t break the curse but could reduce it.

According to the Evil Taoist’s method, the villagers dug up Zhou Liang’s remains, which were surprisingly lifelike despite having been dead for a long time, terrifying the villagers even more.

Enduring their fears, they sealed Zhou Liang’s remains inside a clay idol, on which the Evil Taoist inscribed a suppressing Array, then covered it once more in mud.

The villagers built a temple to suppress Zhou Liang, placing him inside, with a secret chamber in the back painted with an array to imprison the fierce ghost.

A small well was dug in the front of the temple, and a person whose eight characters were in opposition to Zhou Liang’s was chosen as the Ghost Groom, offered as a sacrifice to Zhou Liang.

Because this Ghost Groom was sacrificed to Zhou Liang, he was filled with resentment towards Zhou Liang, this God.

When the village chief set up an ancestral hall at home, offering the Ghost Groom’s tablet and inciting resentful energy in him, the Ghost Groom quickly became a fierce ghost.

The Ghost Groom, transformed into a fierce ghost, couldn’t leave the secret chamber due to the Array’s confinement, so all the resentful energy was directed towards Zhou Liang’s idol in the front.

This resentful energy combined with Zhou Liang’s resentful energy inside the idol, eventually converging into that little well where the Ghost Groom’s blood was.

The resentful energy transformed the Ghost Groom’s blood left in the well into Holy Water full of resentful energy. Feeding this Holy Water to the suppressed Ghost Groom of Zhou Liang would establish a direct connection with Zhou Liang.

When these Ghost Grooms later turned into fierce ghosts upon their death, they would instinctively focus on Zhou Liang because of this connection, not thinking about breaking the Array to trouble the villagers.

If the Holy Water was given to women from outside, they’d forget everything about the outside world, seeing themselves as people of Lao Mountain Village.

Most importantly, all the women who drank the Holy Water could marry men from Lao Mountain Village and have children, though they would still only give birth to sons.

There were once two women who were already pregnant when they married into Lao Mountain Village, and thus they gave birth to two daughters.

At that time, the entire village was stirred; they were overjoyed, thinking that even though the daughters didn’t bear Lao Mountain lineage, being born in Lao Mountain Village might mean Zhou Liang’s curse had been lifted!

But they were soon disappointed because the two girls soon died, and still only sons could survive in Lao Mountain Village.

The people of Lao Mountain Village maintained their survival through this method, constantly using innocents’ blood and lives to prevent the village from perishing, until Miao Shuangshuang broke open Zhou Liang’s idol and released Zhou Liang.

It turned out that the wish of the Ghost Groom in the game did not refer to those Ghost Grooms covered with a red veil but to Zhou Liang, who committed suicide on his wedding day and was suppressed afterward.

With a sigh of relief, hoping Zhou Liang could gain freedom after taking revenge, Miao Shuangshuang felt a bit fond of this Boss, who was clear in his revenge and had once given her a Ghost Groom’s blessing.

In reality, the method of suppression through resentful energy wasn’t sustainable in the long run. Although the resentful energy of those Ghost Grooms suppressed Zhou Liang, it also strengthened Zhou Liang, and with such suppression, Zhou Liang, growing stronger, would eventually break free.

The hardest part of this game was actually not the villagers who revealed their true selves after sacrifices but Zhou Liang breaking out of his seal.

Even though Zhou Liang was fair in his vengeance, don’t forget those Ghost Grooms were all fierce ghosts; after years of building resentful energy, they long lost their sanity and only knew revenge, not fairness.

In this situation, players remaining in Lao Mountain Village almost faced a dead end, with only a chance of succeeding by finding clues to release Zhou Liang early, gain his favor, and be protected by Zhou Liang to complete the game.
