"You guys, why are you asking this?"
"It's about a case, and I hope the old man will cooperate." Ye Shaoyang said politely.
The old village head let out an "oh", seemed to be a little absent-minded, moved his eyes to the TV again, pretended to be watching it seriously, and replied casually: "I heard from the elders that this temple was built when King Chuang came to Beijing. "
Ye Shaoyang scratched his head, "Who is King Chuang?"
Zhou Jingru glanced at him and said, "The uprising leader in the late Ming Dynasty."
The last years of the Ming Dynasty... that's hundreds of years. Ye Shaoyang then asked: "Why was this temple built?"
"Why?" The old village chief said indifferently, "Where is there no temple? Who knows why?"
Ye Shaoyang said: "All temples have their origins. Besides, the name is so targeted. Seventh Grandma, who is Seventh Grandma? Which gods or... evil spirits are enshrined in the temple?"
A look of panic flashed in the eyes of the old village head, and then he returned to normal, shaking his head, "I don't understand what you are saying, I don't know, please go find someone else, don't send it away."
Ye Shaoyang sat still, tilted his head to look at him, and smiled: "You have a strong smell of cinnabar and wormwood, and the two fingers on your right hand are red. You are no older than last night at the earliest, and you have just messed with these two things. Things, if my guess is correct, you are not an ordinary person, you are a mage, a mage who is a casual cultivator!"
The old village chief trembled all over, took off his disguise, looked at Ye Shaoyang in surprise, and said, "Who the hell are you?"
"Mt. Mao's inner disciple, Ye Shaoyang."
The old village chief slowly opened his mouth wide and murmured, "Really?"
Ye Shaoyang didn't answer, just sniffled, and said, "There is a strong evil spirit in your room, and there are evil things in your house. I guess you are messing with cinnabar and mugwort to deal with it, but you can't handle it?"
The old village head stood up abruptly, staring at Ye Shaoyang with wide eyes.
Sensing his hesitation, Ye Shaoyang struck while the iron was hot, and said, "If you need help, I can do it on the condition that you tell me the truth. Do you know that your Seventh Grandma is already killing people, and she killed two people last night. Killed three more, if you let it go, you don’t know how many people will die in your village, just with your mana, do you think you can stop it?"
"You... are you really an inner disciple of Maoshan?" The old village head asked again.
Ye Shaoyang shook his head, stretched out his right index finger, and swiped it in front of the old village head. A strong aura lingered in the air for a long time.
This seemingly ordinary action completely dispelled the doubts of the old village chief, sighed, and said: "Anyway, the statue is also destroyed, you are the master of Maoshan, maybe you have a fight with her, that's your business, There is nothing I can't say, this evil thing in my house is in my daughter-in-law's stomach... "
"What!" Zhou Jingru covered her mouth and yelled.
The old village chief sat back on the edge of the bed, pondered for a while, and said, "Let me start from the beginning. There are five or six villages at the foot of the mountain in our area, and they all believe in the Seventh Grandma Temple. This matter must be told from ancient times. First of all, I don't know the details, but the ancestors passed down the saying that this Seventh Grandma, who didn't know what kind of fairy she was... turned into a human form and married a person in our village.
It is said that not long after that, a person died in the village and turned into a walking corpse, hurting people everywhere. The villagers invited several mages, but they couldn't deal with them. Later, a wandering monk came and killed the walking corpses, saying that there were big monsters in the village. Fang monk's opponent, but You Fang monk can't destroy it.
Monk Youfang negotiated with her to set up a temple for her to worship and enjoy a party of incense, but she was not allowed to harm anyone. The banshee agreed, and the villagers also agreed. Because she used to be called Qigu, she named it the Temple of Grandma Seven. When the temple was being built, Monk You Fang set up a formation, and the banshee walked in willingly.
Since then, this temple has become the object of worship in several surrounding villages. At first, it was out of responsibility and fear, but the prayers of some villagers were also fulfilled. Later, they began to really believe in Grandma Seven. One or two hundred years. One night, Grandma Seven gave a dream to the patriarchs of several villages, saying that every five years in the future, a baby would be enshrined for her to practice... "
Hearing this, Zhou Jingru's face turned pale with fright, Ye Shaoyang snorted coldly, and said, "A demon, is it a demon after all?"
The old village head went on to tell: "At that time, several patriarchs did not agree. The next night, four children were lost in the village at the same time. Within a few days, their bones were found in the temple... Everyone had to agree, but there was no one. Announce this news, otherwise, whoever chooses the child will definitely not do it. Several patriarchs reached a contract with Grandma Seven:
Seventh Grandma only chooses pregnant women who are pregnant with twins. At the beginning of pregnancy, one of the fetuses is filled with evil spirits and sealed. After the birth, ghost servants are sent to secretly steal them away at night. Although it felt weird, I didn't think about it. After all, the five-year cycle is still very long. This secret has been handed down in the families of the patriarchs of several of our villages.
Since then, Grandma Seven has stopped harassing the villagers and has kept the area safe and sound. My family is the patriarch of this Niujia Village, and later re-elected as the village head, or me. I am the only one in the village who knows this secret. My ancestors also learned some folk magic, but their skills are too weak. "
Speaking of this, the old village chief sighed,
"I never thought that the grandson of the transfer family would be selected. Alas, I comforted myself that at least my daughter-in-law is pregnant with twins, and I can keep one. Ever since the child was formed in March, I felt the evil spirit. It was sealed in one of the fetuses. Who would have thought that the statue of Grandma Seven was destroyed later, and everything changed. I could feel the seal of the fetus was broken, and the evil spirit leaked out. Now it is estimated that my other grandson is also infected. I don’t know. Is there any help left?"
Speaking of this, the old village elder burst into tears, and cupped his hands at Ye Shaoyang, "I know so much, and I ask the archmage to help me to see if my other grandson can be saved. If it can be saved, I will give it to the archmage." Establish a ranking for longevity, and the family will worship it from generation to generation."
After hearing this narration, Ye Shaoyang had some judgments in his heart, he didn't think deeply for a while, and said, "Go to your daughter-in-law's room to have a look."
The old village chief hurriedly led the way, came to the first floor, knocked on the door of a room, and it was his son who opened the door.
"How is Xiaofang?" the old village chief asked.
"I have a little fever, it's not good." Xiaojun replied with a sad face.
The old village chief nodded and invited Ye Shaoyang and the two into the house. Xiaojun tried to stop him, but was reprimanded by the old village chief.
As soon as Ye Shaoyang entered the room, he immediately felt evil spirits rushing towards his face. Looking towards the bed, a young woman with a big belly was lying on the bed, her eyes were squinted, her face was pale, and there was a layer of black air between her brows.
On a hot day, the young woman was still covered with a quilt and a thick felt hat on her head.
The old village head explained: "It was better before, but recently she feels more and more cold."
"Of course the evil energy enters the body, it will be cold." Ye Shaoyang couldn't help thinking of when he was four or five years old, he was poisoned by the dead body poison of his mother and son, and he behaved the same way. Later, he was rescued by Qing Yunzi and brought up the mountain, and his life changed forever. .
Ye Shaoyang sat on the side of the bed, lifted the quilt, and saw that Xiaofang's stomach was abnormally swollen, much larger than that of a woman who is about to give birth. Of course, this is not only because of the twins, there is too much evil spirit in her stomach.
