Then we entered Fengmen Village.
Fengmen Village is not big, with only a few dozen households. The houses in the village are very simple, and many of them are still made of wood or adobe, which makes the place look very poor. There are few trees in the village, but most of them are locust trees.
Looking at the scattered locust trees, Master Qi shook his head and said, "No, no! How can locust trees be planted in the village? They are likely to attract dirt."
Indeed, the nature of the locust tree is yin, which has a strong attraction to ghosts. Moreover, many wandering ghosts like to live on locust trees, which is why some people hang themselves on locust trees in some places.
However, after Master Jiang looked at the locust trees, he said, "There is nothing wrong with those locust trees. There are no ghosts living in them!"
After receiving a positive response from Master Jiang, we stopped worrying about the locust tree. Even if there were really ghosts living in the locust tree, they probably wouldn't come out in broad daylight. After all, the sun is scorching, and many ghosts would be like moths to a flame if exposed to the sun, and would perish.
But we didn't meet anyone from Fengmen Village on the way, which was very strange to us. Even if we wanted to find someone to ask what was going on, it was impossible.
I turned my head to look at Sister Xilan who was standing next to me and asked, "Sister Xilan, could it be that all the people in Fengmen Village were killed by the ghost raised by the woman in red?"
Master Chu and Master Qi had already told Zhao Xilan everything that had happened before.
After learning that I had used the lightning charm to save her, Sister Xilan was very grateful to me. But what made me feel distant was that Sister Xilan didn't take the initiative to talk to me for such a long time. This is not her character.
When she saw me asking her a question, Sister Xilan looked up at me. She seemed to be hesitating whether to talk to me.
After biting her lip, Sister Xilan said to me proudly, "Brother Tianyi, I'm afraid you guessed wrong. The possessed ghost has no grudges against the people in this village, and there is no need for him to kill people here. Besides, if the possessed ghost really slaughtered people here, I'm afraid the ghost energy on him would not be so little."
I think Sister Xilan
You are absolutely right.
Just as I was talking to Sister Xilan, a person suddenly appeared not far away.
The man was a young man, probably younger than me. He ran out of the village in a panic, covered in dust, and it seemed that he had fallen down many times.
Maybe he was running too fast, he didn't stop when he saw us.
He shouted loudly, "Get out of here, get up quickly, I want to leave here, I want to leave here. I don't want to stay here anymore!..."
With a "bang", the young man bumped into Master Jiang.
Although Master Jiang looked to be in his forties, he was actually quite strong. After the young man bumped into him, Master Jiang only took two steps back, while the young man stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Why are you running? Did you see a ghost?"
Master Qi frowned and said angrily.
The young man glanced at Master Jiang, and then his eyes fell on Master Chu. It might be Master Chu's Taoist robe that attracted him.
The young man tilted his head to look at Master Qi who was speaking, and said in a trembling voice: "It's a ghost, it's a ghost! It must be a ghost, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people suffering from strange diseases, it must be a ghost!"
"What do you mean?"
Master Qi's brows tightened even more, and the wrinkles on his face became more prominent.
But the young man ignored Master Qi and knelt down in front of Master Chu.
He kowtowed and begged, "You must know what happened in our village, otherwise you wouldn't be here. Master, I beg you, please save the people in our village..."
Master Chu was stunned at first, then he realized that it might be because of his attire that the young man in front of him recognized him.
Master Chu stroked his beard, turned to the man, and asked in a deep voice, "Where are the people in your village now?"
After listening to Master Chu's words, the young man knew that the man in Taoist robes in front of him might want to help him.
His face was full of longing, and he kept saying, "It's in the village ancestral hall, right over there in the ancestral hall... Master, please go and see the people in our village, they are all dying."
"It must be a ghost, otherwise it wouldn't be like that!"
The young man's mental state was not very good. It seemed that something extremely horrible really happened in Fengmen Village.
Soon, under the leadership of the young man, we headed towards the ancestral hall on the east side of the village.
When I arrived at the ancestral hall, I was surprised.
Because I am almost certain that everyone in Fengmen Village should be here at the ancestral hall.
The small ancestral hall was surrounded by people from the city, three layers deep inside and three layers deep outside.
Those people were dressed in the style of country folk, very plainly, not as luxuriously as those in big cities. They all had sad looks on their faces, as if they were worried about something.
When they saw our group coming, the people from Fengmen Village all looked towards us.
Those looks were filled with doubt and scrutiny.
The young man shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way... Let the masters come in and take a look. They are here to help us..."
When the people in Fengmen Village heard that a "master" was coming to help, they all had different expressions on their faces.
But they still made way. But I heard someone mutter, "What kind of master is this? Are you here to cheat me out of money?"
What's worse, they looked at us with sneer, as if we had really become swindlers.
I was a fake Taoist priest so I didn't dare to say anything, but Master Chu and his men were all real ghost-catching Taoist priests, so when I walked behind them, I also raised my neck high, acting like a fox borrowing the power of a tiger to bully others.
Then, under the guidance of the young man, we arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall in Fengmen Village.
But before I even stepped into the ancestral hall, I was already shivering. The sun was out outside, and the temperature was already very high. But the temperature inside the ancestral hall was frighteningly low. It was as if I was walking into an ice hole.
Sister Xilan next to me pulled her clothes tighter and whispered, "It's so strange, this ancestral hall doesn't have any ghosts, but it's eerie!"
I asked Sister Xilan, "Sister Xilan, did you find anything?"
Sister Xilan shook her head and said, "I haven't found anything yet. But I guess,
The situation here is probably related to that woman in red or that black-faced Taoist priest."
At this time, Master Chu and Master Qi, who were walking in front of us, stopped at the right time.
They did not enter the ancestral hall immediately. However, after taking a few glances at the situation inside the ancestral hall, they looked at each other.
I could see deep worry and fear in their expressions.
It seems that the strange things happening in Fengmen Village are really unusual.
Then, I took a step forward and looked into the ancestral hall through the gap between Master Chu and Master Qi's bodies. But it didn't matter that I looked inside. After I looked inside, I felt more than just cold.
In an instant, goose bumps appeared on my arms, thighs, and back.
My eyes were fixed on the floor of the ancestral hall. There were people lying on the floor. Their faces were pale and dark, and their eyes were staring at the ceiling without any spirit. And they were shivering as if they were cold.
If their bodies hadn't been shaking and their chests hadn't been rising and falling, I would have thought they were all dead.
I couldn't describe the astonishment in my heart.
At this time, a middle-aged man suddenly walked into the ancestral hall. The middle-aged man was wearing a sheepskin coat, with sword-shaped eyebrows and a red nose with pits on it.
He had a very rough voice. When he saw us strangers standing at the entrance of the ancestral hall, he shouted, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Why are you here?"
But what puzzled me was that Master Chu and Master Qi ignored the middle-aged man, but continued to stare at the people on the ground with serious eyes.
After a moment, Master Qi was the first to speak: "It seems that Yin Qi has entered the body!"
Master Chu nodded and continued, "That's true. And it's not just ordinary Yin Qi, it should be extremely Yin Qi."
"Yeah!" Master Qi also felt that Master Chu was right.
The middle-aged man who was left out became angry when he saw that Master Chu and Master Qi ignored him.
He took a step forward, scowling coldly, and stood between Master Chu and
In front of Master Qi, he raised his hand and pointed at the noses of Master Chu and Master Qi one by one, and said angrily: "Get out of here quickly, we don't welcome outsiders in Fengmen Village!"
Master Chu looked at the middle-aged man with some contempt and said softly: "What if we can save these people lying on the ground!?"
The young man who led us here and was standing next to Master Chu and Master Qi wanted to explain to the middle-aged man, but after seeing the middle-aged man's angry and annoyed look, he stood there timidly and dared not say a word.
But the middle-aged man seemed to be showing off. As soon as Master Chu finished speaking, he said sternly: "You don't even need to save people! Hurry up, all of you get out of here. Our village's ancestral hall is not open to everyone who wants to come."
This middle-aged man is so majestic!
But what surprised me was that the villagers from the nearby Fengmen Village seemed to be very afraid of the middle-aged man. When he walked towards us, the villagers deliberately tried to avoid him.
Master Chu and Master Qi were also a little annoyed by the middle-aged man in front of them who didn't know the etiquette.
"Humph!" Master Chu snorted coldly and said angrily, "Okay, since you don't want to save people, then let's just leave!"
After saying that, Master Chu and Master Qi turned around and were about to leave.
At this time, an old voice suddenly came from the ancestral hall. The voice sounded very weak, and it was full of age and vicissitudes. The person should be an old man.
The man shouted at the entrance of the ancestral hall, "Asshole! Stop being rude! ... Masters, please stay, please stay..."
I also heard the man tell the people around him, "Help me over quickly. I want to go meet some masters. Hurry up."
Then the sound of rustling footsteps was heard, and soon, an old man with a haggard face came to the door of the ancestral hall, supported by two young men.
The old man looked flustered and anxious. After looking at us for a few times, he hurriedly apologized to Master Chu and Master Qi, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Masters, please stay. It's my fault for not disciplining my child well. He has a bad temper..."
