As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

Jiang Ming remembered Shang Lele's words and echoed them. His eyes were resolute, and he was duty-bound. 

This could not help but move the woman. 

She pushed the child forward and bit her lip. 

"Alright, I believe you. There's a door that only appears at night here. That might be the key to getting out." 

"If you can get out, why don't you bring the child here?" 

Sikong Wuyuan looked at the woman suspiciously. 

This woman gave them the answer so easily that he really could not believe it. 

"If you want to doubt me, then don't ask me." 

Upon hearing this, the woman lost her temper and turned around in a panic, pulling the child back. 

"Mother, I can feel that they have extraordinary powers. They should be able to protect us." 

"This child can actually sense a person's spiritual energy!" 

Yuan Hehe could not believe it. He took a step back and stared at the child. 

Ordinary children would not be able to sense spiritual energy, so this child was probably born from a human and a demon. 

"Child, didn't I tell you not to say that? What's wrong with you?" 

The woman was instantly afraid. She raised her hand to slap him, but Jiang Ming stopped her. 

"It's not good to hit a child. It was my friend who offended you just now. Please don't be angry." 

Since he had received a favor from her, he had to help her. 

Jiang Ming's attitude was in line with the woman's expectations. This time, the woman's expression was a little better. She bowed to Jiang Ming again and said, "I'll leave my child to you. I'll hold these villagers back." 

"What do they do at night?" Sikong Wuyuan asked worriedly. 

It seemed like it was not as easy as it looked. 

He was also aware of his attitude. It would be best if he could save the woman now. 

"Their habits are abnormal. They go to chop firewood at night and set up a trap around the village. Ordinary people can't get close to that door. I heard that some strange creatures come out of that door, but I haven't really gotten close to it yet, so I'm not sure." 

The woman took a deep breath, her eyes filled with gloom. 

If she had some spiritual energy, she would not be so passive. 

"We know. We'll go out together when the time comes." 

Jiang Ming's expression was unclear, but he had already asked around for an idea. 

The woman smiled bitterly. "I don't want to go out. I'm fine here. I didn't give birth to this child of my own free will. If I go out, he will only be a disgrace to my family." 

"What are you talking about? With us here, no one will dare to bully you. Don't worry." 

Yuan Hehe could not stand it anymore and patted the woman's shoulder. 

The woman fell silent. 

Seeing her expression, Jiang Ming did not say anything else. 

Since the old man did not pay much attention to them, they walked around. 

The village was in the mountains. The surrounding mountains were very high, and the forest was very lush. 

Jiang Ming felt hopeless. 

Ordinary people could not get out at all. Moreover, this was the world of painting. 

After a while, they went to the woman's side. 

At this time, the banquet had already ended. The woman's partner was lying leisurely on the bed, ordering her around. When he was unhappy, he would beat and scold her. 

Yuan Hehe was furious. He went forward and wanted to kick the man, but he realized that his foot had passed through the man's body. The man was still safe as usual. 

"What the hell is this?" 

Yuan Hehe looked at his own leg and suspected that it was no longer his. 

He turned his head and wanted to say something to Jiang Ming, but he felt a sharp pain in his leg. 

Looking down, he found that there was some livor mortis on it. 

The livor mortis was not dark, but it was enough to make everyone panic. 

"I haven't died yet, but I've already developed livor mortis." 

Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan did not know whether to laugh or cry at his joking tone. 

The woman's expression changed when she heard that. 

"Your lifespan is probably starting to decrease. The other two of you might also have livor mortis of this size, but you did not notice it." 

As she spoke, the woman lifted her skirt. A deep livor mortis mark had already appeared on her thigh. 

"How long have you been locked up here?" 

Jiang Ming was shocked and could not help but ask the woman. 

"Not much, just a year. I'm quite lucky. If my livor mortis had followed his speed, I would have died in less than a year." 

The woman let out a sigh of relief and was called by the man to cook again. 

Jiang Ming gestured for Yuan Hehe to sit down, and he turned to look for the woman to understand the situation. 

Yuan Hehe tried his best to calm himself down and sat down. 

Sikong Wuyuan comforted him. 

"This matter can definitely be resolved. We will be able to leave soon. Don't worry, the curse of this painting will be broken soon." 

Yuan Hehe nodded but did not say anything else. 

His life was decided at this moment tonight. 

In the woodshed, the woman was carrying firewood into the furnace one by one. 

"Won't you start a fire like this?" 

Jiang Ming was dumbfounded and quickly stopped the woman. 

The woman smiled strangely. 

"As long as there's a fire, they won't do so much at night. Instead, you can leave easily." 

"Don't be like this. You'll be beaten to death. They can't touch us, but they can touch you." 

Jiang Ming put the firewood in a remote place and shook his head. He was touched. 

This woman had done too much for her son. 

"But your companion is about to die. We can't let another person die in this painting." 

The woman was very persistent. She continued to bring the firewood over and placed it directly into the furnace. 

The flames suddenly surged and were about to burn out. 

Jiang Ming snapped his fingers, and a stream of water appeared in his hand, extinguishing the flames in front of him. 

"What are you doing? Don't you want your companions to leave quickly? If anything goes wrong, your companion will die." 

The woman felt that Jiang Ming was unreasonable, and her heart trembled again. 

She had thought that these people would not care about her, so she did not expect them to help her so much. 

"I said we'll go out together. Don't do anything unnecessary. Otherwise, we won't be able to take your child out either." 

Jiang Ming sighed. 

He felt that this woman's sacrifice was meaningless. 

However, a voice sounded beside them. 

"Where do you want to escape to? If you try to escape, a fate worse than death awaits you."
