The old man tried to eradicate it with rush, but failed because it had attracted two magicians from somewhere, who made it even more powerful and enabled it to develop the Twelve Transformations of a monster in the Ghost Tear Pond.
They have since reached a stalemate, neither of them can defeat the other, but the ghost monkey has occupied the dungeon. If the curse is activated, Meiguan Town will be bloodbathed! So the old man did not dare to press too hard, and the other party actually negotiated with him, not taking away his rush grass first, and let them have a place to stay, which is the dungeon.
The old man had no choice but to agree, because the place was actually occupied by them. He thought that he could only find a way to get rid of them later, so he agreed. That's how Mei Dajiang and Mei Dahe entered the clan, were given the surname Mei, and opened the Immortal Residence above the dungeon.
In fact, the old man knew the ghost monkey's strategy very well. They had to wait for Xiao Qi to grow up and turn 24 in ten years. They also wanted to open the coffin and release Mei Sisi, because Ding Wumaoliu's whereabouts were unknown for many years, and they wanted to use Mei Sisi's ghost to find Ding Wumaoliu.
When Xiao Qi heard this, he got up from the ground and asked me anxiously, "Didn't they say that opening the coffin can save the world?"
I was also confused. This was one of the three major taboos. I didn't understand what was going on. I just stared at the old guy to see what he had to say.
The old man wiped the blood off his face with a tissue, smiled bitterly and said, "The freedom of Mei Sisi's ghost has both advantages and disadvantages. Although it can take Ding Wu Mao Liu into its stomach and turn them into nothing, it can also be used by evil people to find them and take them away to do evil. Therefore, both good and evil want to open the coffin, but their purposes are different."
We suddenly realized that this made sense. No wonder Zhang Yunfeng wanted Xiao Qi to perform a ritual. In fact, he wanted to open the coffin and collect Mei Sisi's ghost in order to find Ding Wumao Liu.
The old man looked at me, his eyes no longer had the same chill as the twelve transformations of the demons, and he said kindly: "You are the descendant of the Xi family, right? When you were on the street calling for justice for Xiao Shuang, I was quite relieved to know that the descendants of the Xi family finally came to help me. So, after you escaped from the dungeon, you stayed in the mountains for a day, and I secretly helped you fight off the ghost monkey."
I was stunned. No wonder no one disturbed me when I was sleeping on the top of the mountain. It turned out that the old guy was protecting us.
Qu Mo stared at the rush on the table with a strange look in his eyes, looking quite eager. My heart moved, this is the reaction of the spirit fox. I asked her what was wrong in a low voice, she shook her head and said that the strange magic weapon used by the old mayor last night was this thing, and then she stopped talking.
The old man looked at us, sighed and said, "Outsiders may think that the Meiguan Town clan is an evil old-fashioned clan, but they are wrong. Our clan has always been maintaining peace in the town, and all the evil things were instigated by the Bailing faction. In the past ten years, my position as the mayor has been empty, and I have no say at all. And what you saw that day was that Mei Dajiang and Mei Dahe were very afraid of me. They were acting in front of outsiders, including Mei Dahe's suicide, which was fake. He is not dead yet."
Damn it, this guy is not dead. I quickly asked him where he is now.
The old man didn't know either, he just said that it was Uncle Quan who helped them kill that day, and then Uncle Quan's secret was exposed because of his invisibility, and he was scared to death on the mountain by the Twelve Transformations of the Ghost. Last night he knew that we were going to open the coffin, and the wolf demon would definitely be attracted by the ghost monkey, so he followed us to help, but was scratched by the spirit fox, and then the ghost monkey came over, so he had to run away.
Just as he was talking about this, he heard Ma Yunxi's urgent call from outside: "Is Mr. Xi here?"
I hurried out. The rain had stopped by then, but the sky was still covered with dark clouds and it was very low, making me feel heavy in my heart.
Ma Yunxi's hair was disheveled, the blue veil on her face was gone, and she was covered in blood. When she saw me, she said hurriedly, "Oh no! The wolf demon is out of control, and Ruhua has been torn into pieces!"
