"Damn it! Boy, what did you do?"
The body of the woman in red was already charred, and her red clothes had been burned into a jelly-like substance, emitting a pungent smell. Her skin had cracked, and bright red blood was constantly flowing down her body. Her body was trembling in the thunder, like a lone boat in the wind and rain, swaying and about to fall.
I stood up, brushed off the dust on my body, and without caring about the woman in red, I picked up the unconscious Sister Xilan and walked away.
But what surprised me was that, despite the thunder and lightning, the woman in red did not fall down. Instead, the upper ghost in her body kept struggling and groaning in pain.
Master Qi and Master Chu had already rushed over, and Fatty Li carefully took Sister Xilan from my hands.
I stood in the distance, panting, watching the woman in red in the thunder and lightning.
"Brother Tianyi, was that the 'Thunder-Inducing Talisman' I gave you that you used just now?" Master Chu asked.
I nodded and said, "That's right, Master Chu. That's the lightning talisman I used just now. I originally thought that the lightning talisman would not work on that woman in red, but I didn't expect it to be so useful."
What I didn't expect was that Master Chu glared at me and said in a deep voice: "You spendthrift, you used up such a good lightning-attracting talisman. That talisman is quite powerful, and it can even deal with evil ghosts. You actually used it to deal with a possessed ghost... What a pity, what a waste!"
After hearing this, I was embarrassed. Although the lightning talisman was very powerful, I didn't think it was a waste to use it. You know, the situation just now was quite critical. If I hadn't used the lightning talisman, I'm afraid that Sister Xilan and I would have been poisoned by the silver needle and died.
I asked Master Chu, "Master, can't talismans only harm ghosts? Why was the woman in red also struck by lightning?"
Master Chu curled his lips and said, "That's because the upper body ghost got into the body of the woman in red, and the hostility of the woman in red became more serious. In addition, the woman in red is not a good person. She is a ghost breeder and has a lot of ghost energy on her body. Naturally, she will also have to bear the thunder power of the thunder talisman!"
Master Jiang looked at me and asked, "Brother Tianyi, are you okay?"
I shook my head and said, "It's okay. Why don't you go check on Sister Xilan? See how she is doing?"
At this time, Master Qi had already looked at Sister Xilan and said, "Zhao Xilan, she's fine. She was just knocked unconscious. I've given her a brain-awakening pill, and she'll be awake in no time!"
"Yeah!" I nodded, and followed Master Qi and others to look at the woman in red in the lightning.
At this time, the woman in red could no longer be called in red. She should be said to be in black. Not only were her clothes burnt by lightning, but a lot of her skin was also black.
"Ahh! Help, help..."
The ghost inside the red-clothed woman struggled desperately, but it was useless. The lightning had a restraining effect on ghosts. In addition, the ghost had been severely injured before, so he could not hold out for long in the lightning.
As expected, after just a moment, the ghost could no longer hold on. He wanted to get out of the body of the woman in red who was lying on the ground. As for the woman in red, her breathing became very weak.
The lightning-inducing talisman hanging in front of them had been burned to only the last piece.
"Oh no, the effect of the lightning-attracting talisman is about to disappear!" Master Jiang reminded.
Master Chu stroked his beard, lowered his eyelids, and said softly: "It's okay, the last lightning is really powerful, they can't escape at all."
Just after the last piece of the lightning talisman burned out, a white streak of lightning flashed across the sky, and then a thunderbolt as thick as a thigh suddenly struck down, shooting towards the woman in red and the upper body ghost.
Just as the woman in red was about to be hit by the thunderbolt, the ghost on the upper body suddenly became more powerful and came out directly from the mouth of the woman in red.
What none of us expected was that the ghost kissed the girl in red on the lips and then rushed towards the thunderbolt.
The woman in red suddenly opened her eyes, her body trembled slightly, and tears flowed from her eyes.
She yelled, "No!"
But the thunderbolt had been blocked by the possessed ghost.
Stopped. Less than a meter away from the red-dressed woman, thunder exploded. The ghost only stayed for a short time before his soul exploded and dissipated into the air.
"No, no! Wantian, I don't want you to die..."
The woman in red lay on the ground and cried.
She stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to hold back the ghost named Yang Wantian. But Yang Wantian, whose soul had exploded, had already disappeared in the reincarnation, and his soul had been scattered. He no longer had any chance of being reborn as a human being.
Looking at the pitiful woman in red, for a moment, the softest part of my heart seemed to be touched. The relationship between the possessed ghost and the ghost raiser, that is, the woman in red, is really profound.
In order to keep the ghost of her husband, the woman in red actually used her body to raise the ghost.
As for the ghost, at the last moment when the thunderbolt struck, he was willing to sacrifice himself to save the life of the woman in red.
"Alas! Since I have become a ghost, why bother to commit murder? Now it's good, my soul is scattered."
Hearing my low voice, Master Chu looked at me sideways.
Then he said to me in a deep voice: "Little brother Tianyi, I don't agree with what you said. I am being too soft-hearted. You should know that anyone who becomes a ghost is unwilling to give up and has resentment. As Taoists, we must enforce justice on behalf of heaven and cannot let them go. Your soft-heartedness is compassion for people, but it is indulgence for ghosts. Sometimes, because of your soft-heartedness, it may cause great harm to yourself."
Although what Master Chu said makes sense, I don’t agree with it in my heart.
I nodded to Master Chu and said nothing.
"Ah, Wantian, we haven't taken revenge yet, why did you leave me? We haven't caught the driver who killed you yet, please don't leave me..."
After hearing what the woman in red said, Master Qi heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Since your husband who has become a ghost has already died, I advise you to stop. You have committed a lot of murders, and your husband died because of it. You deserve it."
But the woman in red didn't care about that.
Her eyes were full of bloodshot, and she stared at us lifelessly. She said in a sinister voice, "No! I won't compromise. You killed my husband... What have we done wrong? We just want to find the person who killed my husband. We are not wrong!..."
Then the woman in red told us a story about her husband.
It turns out that Yang Wantian, the husband of the woman in red, was a tailor in Fengmen Village before he became a possessed ghost. Moreover, Yang Wantian's craftsmanship was very good, and many people in the city and surrounding counties and towns would ask him to make custom clothes.
Yang Wantian supports his family with his skill of making clothes, and their family is a very happy one.
But unexpectedly, just half a year ago, Yang Wantian went to the city to make clothes for others and never returned.
Ma Hongying felt uneasy that day, and felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, when it was evening, Yang Wantian had not returned yet.
Ma Hongying called Yang Wantian, but Yang Wantian didn't answer. Panicked, Ma Hongying left the village to look for Yang Wantian. On the road where we encountered the ghost, Ma Hongying found Yang Wantian's body. Yang Wantian's throat had been cut open, and he had been dead for several hours.
Ma Hongying went to the town police station to report the incident, but the police could not find any clues at all. In order not to affect local order, the police did not make the case public.
In this way, Ma Hongying spent every day in sadness, missing her husband Yang Wantian.
But one day, a man who looked like a black-faced Taoist priest came to her house. The black-faced Taoist priest said that he could help Ma Hongying find Yang Wantian's soul and reunite the two of them. So, Ma Hongying agreed without thinking too much. According to the black-faced Taoist priest's request, Ma Hongying put on red clothes, sacrificed her life, and used herself as a container for raising ghosts, and finally called back Yang Wantian's soul.
The black-faced Taoist priest taught the possessed ghost the "ghost technique" without asking for anything. This ghost technique included condensing the palm and controlling ghosts. In fact, the ghosts that appeared on the dirt road earlier were the ones who were hit by the possessed ghost's ghost control technique.
But what puzzled Ma Hongying was that the black-faced
The Taoist priest also left behind a jar, which he buried underground before leaving.
Although Ma Hongying and Yang Wantian were reunited, Yang Wantian still had resentment in his heart. Why? Because the person who killed him was a driver.
Later, Yang Wantian started to attack the drivers on the road where he was killed, and he showed no mercy. This is why the taxi drivers dared not approach Fengmen Village.
After the woman in red finished speaking, she glared at us coldly. Especially me, I felt uncomfortable when her gaze stayed on me, as if a knife was slowly scraping my face.
"You are fighting violence with violence, which is wrong!" Master Qi said to the woman in red in a deep voice, "Besides, not all people are bad. I guess you and your husband who has become a possessed ghost are being used by others!"
"What do you mean?" the woman in red asked coldly.
Master Chu continued, "What we mean is that there might be something wrong with that black-faced Taoist priest. Although he helped you find your husband's soul, I believe he definitely had bad intentions... And the jar he gave you might also be dangerous."
The woman in red had been blinded by evil. She said coldly: "Don't try to deceive me. I won't believe you. You killed my husband, and I will make you pay the price!"
When the fat man Li heard this, he cursed, "You stinky woman, don't be ungrateful. Look at your ugly face, and you still make us pay the price. Your husband is a ghost, who has harmed so many people. We should eliminate him. He deserves it!"
But the woman in red started laughing strangely.
She kept repeating, "Okay, okay, it's what he deserves, it's what he deserves... Then today I'm going to see who deserves it?! You all will not die well. I swear, I, Ma Hongying, will kill you all!"
At this point, what we didn't expect was that the woman in red actually took out a black silver needle with poison from her bosom. But she didn't stab us, but stabbed the silver needle into her neck.
