"No, grandma! Why, why is this happening?..."
The tears in Zhu Huiwen's eyes could not stop flowing down. Her peach eyes were already swollen from crying.
Taoist priest Fu Chen continued in a calm voice: "This is her karma, and also her sin. She raised the Gu on living people and harmed so many people. She will be punished in the end."
Zhu Huiwen cried and seemed to have thought of something.
She stared with eyes wide open, raised eyebrows, and questioned Taoist priest Fu Chen fiercely: "Who are you? My grandmother said you were my grandfather... But are you really my grandfather? If you were my grandfather, why would you watch my grandmother's soul dissipate and do nothing about it? I don't have a grandfather as cruel as you!"
The Taoist priest with the whisk did not answer, but turned and walked in the opposite direction of Zhu Huiwen.
It looks like he is ready to leave here.
This kind of change really surprised me. The Ninth Lady died just like that, and it was all because of that Taoist priest.
As for the Taoist priest with whisk dust, it seems that he is really the husband of the Ninth Lady. It is incredible that a "husband" kills his wife.
Zhu Huiwen was still crying, and there was sadness in her voice.
The Taoist priest with the whisk had already walked away into the distance, and his back looked somewhat lonely.
I wanted to know what was going on, so I ran quickly towards the Taoist priest with the whisk.
When the Taoist priest with the whisk was about to leave Baisha Village, I stopped him.
"Senior, wait a minute. I want to know what's going on. Please tell me."
The Taoist priest with the whisk stopped, raised his head slightly, and looked at me gently.
He said softly: "That was all in the past. Since you want to hear it, I can tell you. You are also a ghost-catching Taoist priest, and I hope you can shoulder the mission of a ghost-catching Taoist priest."
I nodded.
Afterwards, the Taoist priest with the whisk took me to a tree near the entrance of Baishan Village.
His back was facing me as he began to tell the story slowly.
It turns out that more than 40 years ago, a ghost incident happened in Baisha Village. At that time, a fierce ghost was making trouble in Baisha Village and killed many villagers. After learning about this incident, a ghost-catching Taoist priest named Wei Fengyu came to Baisha Village.
Wei Fengyu's Taoism skills were not very high at that time, but he still managed to fight the evil ghost to a draw. At the last moment, Wei Fengyu used a magic weapon to completely kill the evil ghost.
But at the same time, Wei Fengyu was already unconscious.
It was two days later that Wei Fengyu woke up after being injured. He was arranged by the then village chief of Baisha Village to live in a family surnamed Zhu. In this family surnamed Zhu, there was a girl named Zhu Hanyin.
The girl is in her twenties, has a pretty face and a simple heart.
Because his body had not fully recovered, Wei Fengyu had to recuperate in the Zhu family for a while after waking up.
During this time, the relationship between Wei Fengyu and Zhu Hanyin rapidly heated up, and they got along very well with each other. Little by little, Wei Fengyu found that he liked Zhu Hanyin.
As for Zhu Hanyin, she also revealed her feelings to Wei Fengyu.
But the reality was that as a ghost-catching Taoist priest, Wei Fengyu had promised his master to complete a task, and if that task was not completed, he would not be allowed to marry or have children. His master even made Wei Fengyu swear an oath.
The oath of the ghost-catching Taoist priest is very powerful. If you do not respect your oath, you will suffer retribution.
So Wei Fengyu said goodbye to Zhu Hanyin, said a lot of harsh words, and decided to leave Baisha Village.
But what Wei Fengyu didn't expect was that the day before Wei Fengyu was about to leave Baisha Village, Zhu Hanyin took him to a cave.
Zhu Hanyin said she was here to see Wei Fengyu off and prepared some food and wine. But it was the food and wine that made Wei Fengyu pass out. When Wei Fengyu woke up, he found himself
He was actually lying with Zhu Hanyin, and Zhu Hanyin's virginity had been taken away by him.
After waking up, Zhu Hanyin told Wei Fengyu that this was all arranged by her and she just wanted Wei Fengyu to stay.
Wei Fengyu was very angry at that time. In the end, he left resolutely.
Why? Because Wei Fengyu had promised his master to complete the tasks assigned to him by his master and had made an oath, so he could not disobey. If he disobeyed, Wei Fengyu would suffer retribution, and at the same time, the disaster would also implicate those close to him.
At that time, Wei Fengyu secretly left in order to protect himself and Zhu Hanyin.
Later, Wei Fengyu returned to Baisha Village once and secretly inquired about some news about the Zhu family.
What Wei Fengyu didn't expect was that Zhu Hanyin of the Zhu family actually had a child. But the child had no father. After further investigation, Wei Fengyu realized that the little boy was his child.
However, Wei Fengyu had not yet completed the task assigned to him by his master, so he could not meet with the Zhu family, as that would harm them. So he left silently again.
He left for decades, and only today did he return to Baisha Village and save me.
And that Ninth Lady was actually Zhu Hanyin from that year.
Of course, I also guessed it through the story of the Taoist priest with whisk dust. I think it is almost certain that the Wei Fengyu and Zhu Hanyu mentioned by the Taoist priest with whisk dust should be him and the Ninth Lady.
When he finished speaking, Taoist Fu Chen's eyes showed a little sadness. He said, "I didn't expect that when Wei Fengyu returned to Baisha Village, Zhu Hanyin turned into a ghost. One is a ghost-catching Taoist, and the other is a ghost that hurts people. Wei Fengyu can't do anything. Out of responsibility, even if Zhu Hanyin didn't destroy herself, he would have taken action."
The conversation paused here. Taoist Fuchen looked at me again and said to me: "Little Taoist, you are very special and your Taoism is very profound. I hope you can benefit this world in the future. This is our mission and our responsibility."
I nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry, senior, I will."
The Taoist priest with the whisk looked towards Baisha Village again, shook his head, and walked out of the village.
I didn't chase him. I was far away before I called out to him, "Senior, did Wei Fengyu complete the task assigned to him by his master?"
The Taoist priest with the whisk did not look back, and said loudly: "It is not finished! I am afraid it will never be completed in this lifetime."
After he finished speaking, a layer of good aura appeared on his body. He quickened his pace and quickly left Baisha Village.
Soon, his figure disappeared without a trace.
I didn't expect that the Ninth Lady and Wei Fengyu had such a long history.
What I didn't expect was that the Ninth Lady actually offered herself to keep Wei Fengyu. This was a very surprising move decades ago.
I took a deep breath and sighed in my heart, it was finally over, the grass witch was finally eliminated.
But in a trance, I felt sad for the Ninth Lady. If she had not fallen in love with Wei Fengyu, if Wei Fengyu had not had a mission, perhaps they would have had a perfect ending.
But in this world, the two words that people hate the most may be "if", because they mean that it cannot be undone.
Just as I was about to turn around and enter Baisha Village, four or five police cars drove over from a distance, sirens blaring loudly.
Soon, the police car arrived at the entrance of Baisha Village.
A lot of people got out of the police car. They were all police officers with guns in their hands.
The police were also surprised to see me standing at the entrance of Baisha Village. A man who should be a leader came close to me.
He is quite tall, about 1.80 meters, with broad shoulders and looks very strong.
"Are you Yang Tianyi?" the leader-like man asked me.
I nodded and said, "It's me, Yang Tianyi. Who are you?"
The man came over and said cheerfully, "I am the director of the Dongling County Police Station, Li Dongbin."
Li Dongbin? He's the one who answered the phone after I called the police.
Before I could say anything, Li Dongbin said, "We have already found some clues about Zhu Huiwen and the Ninth Lady. Also, our people have already rushed over to the factory. Don't worry, the Ninth Lady and Zhu Huiwen won't get away."
At this point, Li Dongbin asked me, "By the way, Brother Yang, you should know where the Ninth Lady is. Take us there now."
I smiled bitterly and said to Li Dongbin: "I know about Ninth Lady, but she is gone now."
Then, I briefly told Li Dongbin what happened in Baisha Village.
Li Dongbin's reaction at the time was very surprised, as if he had heard a fairy tale. He might have heard about the poisonous insect, but he might not know what happened to the Ninth Lady.
After a moment of hesitation, Li Dongbin frowned and told his men, "Let's go into the village!"
He called to me, "Brother Yang, come on, follow us in. As for what you said, I want to see if it's true or not."
I understand Li Dongbin's thoughts very well. After all, the story about the ghost grass lady Jiu Niangniang is too bizarre. It is difficult for ordinary people to accept it.
Soon, we entered Baisha Village.
When he arrived at the Baisha Village Ancestral Hall and saw the bodies of the Baisha villagers lying on the ground, Li Dongbin could no longer remain calm.
Those people have had their essence and blood sucked away by the ghost of the Ninth Lady.
"Boss, they're all... all dead! Seventy-six people in total, all died mysteriously. All the blood in their bodies was sucked dry."
Li Dongbin's face was grim. He ordered the policeman, "Block the news here. Don't leak it at all, otherwise it will cause social panic. Also, check if there are any living people in Baisha Village."
"Yes, Boss!"
The policeman said this and went back to work.
At the same time, many police officers went to Baisha Village to search for surviving villagers. Of course, there were some surviving villagers, but those people may have discovered the dead body, so they hid in their homes and did not dare to go out.
Li Dongbin went to Zhu Huiwen and handcuffed her hands.
"Zhu Huiwen, we already know about you and your grandmother, Ninth Lady. Now we need to take you back."
Zhu Huiwen had a sullen face and did not move.
"Why don't you leave?" Li Dongbin asked Zhu Huiwen.
Zhu Huiwen didn't answer.
I walked over, reached out and pulled off the talisman on Zhu Huiwen's body, and crumpled it into a ball.
I said to Li Dongbin, "Director Li, it's a Taoist spell that has fixed her body. So she can't move."
"A talisman for immobilization?"
Li Dongbin muttered something with a strange look on his face, but didn't say anything else.
Zhu Huiwen was able to move again, and she was taken to the police car.
Before leaving, Zhu Huiwen wanted to use her Gu worm to hurt people, but I found her in time. Her natal Gu worm was a scorpion Gu, which I burned to ashes with the fire talisman.
When I activated the Fire Charm, my method was seen by Li Dongbin and other police officers, and they were shocked. They all looked at me in surprise.
Li Dongbin swallowed his saliva and said to me, "Brother Yang, I didn't expect you to know strange skills. You are really amazing. How about this, you can follow us to investigate the case for the time being. With you here, we can prevent some unnecessary things from happening."
Of course I nodded and said yes.
