They planned to throw her into the river and drown her in a pig cage the next day. Who would have thought that the widow would escape in the middle of the night when the villagers were not paying attention? During the chase, the widow accidentally fell on a huge rock and died. The villagers naturally would not bury such a shameless woman in the village graveyard. They just threw her body into a bamboo forest and let the wild beasts tear her apart.
They thought that this matter would be over, but who would have thought that the widow would turn into a female ghost and seek revenge on the villagers? In just half a month, seven villagers had died in her hands. Everyone was in a state of panic. Some of the more timid villagers simply fled the village. Only a few villagers who did not want to leave their homeland were willing to stay in the village.
It was fine during the day, but at night, the female ghost would come out to do evil things, making everyone anxious. The villagers did not even dare to sleep, which seriously affected the farming during the day. If this went on, the villagers would starve to death even if they were not killed by the female ghost.
Therefore, the old man hoped that Wang Changsheng could help them get rid of the female ghost so that they could live a peaceful life again.
After listening to the old man's explanation, Wang Changsheng did not immediately agree. Instead, he asked, "Uncle, how do you know that I am an immortal? Have you seen other immortals?"
This village was too remote, and the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was relatively thin. If it were not for the rain and getting lost, Wang Changsheng would not have found this place, let alone other immortal cultivators!
Hearing this, the old man hesitated, as if there was something that he could not say. After a moment of silence, he finally said, "To be honest, according to my great-grandfather, the ancestor of Family Chen Village was also an immortal who could fly in the sky and travel underground. However, for some reason, he settled down here. My great-grandfather also taught me some of the immortal's skills. I originally thought that my great-grandfather made up all the immortals, but I didn't expect it to be true." At the end, the old man's expression was somewhat excited.
Hearing this, Wang Changsheng suddenly understood. Some cultivators who had no hope of making a breakthrough would indeed choose a place to establish a family so that they could pass down their knowledge. However, according to the old man, Wang Changsheng guessed that their ancestor was probably a rogue cultivator who was indifferent to fame and fortune. Otherwise, with his identity as a cultivator, he could have been a distinguished guest of the secular world and enjoyed endless glory and wealth. There was no need for him to come to this desolate place to establish a Family Chen Village.
Usually, Wang Changsheng doesn't mind helping the villagers get rid of the ghost, but now he has to go to the Ningzhou party and has no time to do this. But in the face of the villagers' expectant eyes, he can't refuse.
"The chicken soup is here. Immortal, the chicken soup is here." At this moment, a boy's childish voice came from outside the ancestral hall.
Wang Changsheng raised his head and looked towards the entrance of the ancestral hall. He saw a boy named Qiu Sheng slowly walking towards him. He was holding a rectangular tray with three large bowls on it, emitting an alluring aroma.
"Here, Immortal. Chicken soup." A villager took the tray from the boy's hand and respectfully placed it in front of Wang Changsheng, indicating for him to taste.
Wang Changsheng didn't hold back either. With a few "gu" sounds, the bowl of chicken soup went down his stomach, and a warm feeling spread throughout his body.
When Wang Changsheng was about to pick up the second bowl, he found the boy staring at the chicken soup in his hand and swallowing his saliva.
"Do you want to drink? Here. "Seeing this, Wang Changsheng smiled and handed the boy a bowl of steaming chicken soup.
CHAPTER 63
Get ready
"Qiu Sheng, what did grandpa teach you?" Before the boy could reply, the old man glared at him and shouted. [Full text read …]
When the boy heard this, he retracted his hand and lowered his head, looking a little wronged.
"Uncle, it's okay. This child is fated to be with me. Just let him drink this bowl of chicken soup!" Wang Changsheng said with a smile.
When the old man heard this, his expression softened and he said, "Since it's the Immortal's order, Qiu Sheng, you can drink it!"
When the boy heard this, he hurriedly raised his head and a smile appeared on his young face. He carefully took the big bowl from Wang Changsheng's hand and drank it.
"Be careful, it's hot. Drink it slowly." The old man stroked the boy's head and said with a face full of affection.
"The chicken soup is delicious. Grandpa wants to drink it too." After drinking a few mouthfuls, the boy held the big bowl in front of the old man and motioned for him to drink.
"You can drink it. Grandpa doesn't like chicken soup." The old man shook his head and looked at Wang Changsheng. He said sincerely, "Immortal, on behalf of Family Chen Village, I beg you. Please help us!" With that, the old man knelt down again.
"That's right! Immortal, please help us! "When the other villagers saw this, they also knelt down and said in unison.
"Uncle, please don't, please don't. Please get up." When Wang Changsheng saw this, he hurriedly put down the big bowl in his hand and went forward to help the old man up.
"If the Immortal doesn't agree, I won't get up. Qiu Sheng, kneel down before the Immortal." The old man's face showed a touch of determination as he ordered the boy.
"Big Brother Immortal, please help us! If worst comes to worst, I won't drink the chicken soup. I'll give it to you. "The boy also knelt down and held the big bowl in front of Wang Changsheng.
Facing the villagers' expectant gazes, Immortal Wang didn't know what to say. After a moment of hesitation, he sighed and slowly said, "Alright, let's go. Uncle, I promise you. All of you, get up! " Saving a life was better than building a seven-storied pagoda. If worst came to worst, he could use the Imperial Wind Talisman on him to hurry. It shouldn't take too much time.
"Thank you, Immortal. Thank you, Immortal." When the old man heard this, his face showed ecstasy. With Wang Changsheng's help, he slowly stood up.
"Thank you, Big Brother Immortal." The boy sweetly said.
"That's great. We're saved."
"Thank you, Immortal."
After the old man stood up, the other villagers also stood up. Their faces showed a touch of joy as they thanked Wang Changsheng.
"Okay, since I've agreed to help you get rid of the ghost, tell me the details of this female ghost so that I can prepare." Wang Changsheng held his chin with one hand and asked thoughtfully.
"This female ghost knows sorcery and can control objects."
"Yes, she can also pass through wood and stone walls."
"She seems to be afraid of fire."
When the villagers heard this, they said what they knew one after another.
"What else? Are there any more powerful ones? "
"That's right. That female ghost can possess other people's bodies. Er Gou was possessed by this female ghost and was knocked to death on a pillar." The old man suddenly thought of something and said.
"Yes, I saw it too. It's really terrifying." A villager echoed.
When Wang Changsheng heard this, he looked at the darkening sky and asked, "Do you remember when this female ghost came out to harm people?"
"I don't remember. She will appear when it's dark. We don't know exactly when she comes."
"Then tell me about the seven victims. Do they have anything in common? For example, they had a grudge with this female ghost when she was alive."
"Common? Yes, they are all young people. I haven't heard of them having a grudge with Xiao Feng. That's right, I heard from my wife that the first victim, Hu Zi, seemed to have peeked at Xiao Feng bathing. I don't know if it's true or not. "Chen Dalong, who had led Wang Changsheng's horse, said with a reminiscing expression.
"How many people in the village haven't married?" Wang Changsheng asked a seemingly unrelated question.
"A few dozen! They are all young people with strong bodies. Could it be that this female ghost specifically targets young people who don't have wives? "The old man seemed to have noticed something and asked.
"It's very possible." Wang Changsheng nodded.
"Then what should I do? I haven't married yet! Immortal, why don't you stay at my place for a night and protect me? "
"I haven't married either. I don't want to die yet!"
"Immortal, come and protect me! I have two chickens at home. I'm willing to use them to make chicken soup for you. "
Hearing Wang Changsheng's words, many of the villagers showed fear on their faces and began to discuss. They all hoped that Wang Changsheng would protect them. Some even used chicken soup as a condition. Wang Changsheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was only drenched in the rain and wanted to drink a bowl of hot soup to warm himself up. It wasn't like he really liked to drink it.
However, it could be seen that this female ghost had really frightened the villagers, which made Wang Changsheng more determined to get rid of this female ghost.
"Alright, alright. How about this? Everyone will move into the ancestral hall tonight. The men will sleep outside, while the women and children will sleep inside. If that female ghost really dares to come, I'll make sure she doesn't return." Wang Changsheng glanced at the darkening sky and said noncommittally.
"Master, women can't enter the ancestral hall, right?" A villager raised his doubts.
"That's right! The ancestral hall is enshrined in the ancestral hall. How can a woman enter? "Someone echoed.
The old man looked at Wang Changsheng, hoping that he could give him an idea.
Wang Changsheng was a little surprised when he heard that. The Wang family also had an ancestral hall, but it didn't prohibit women from entering it. Why didn't mortals allow women to enter the ancestral hall? However, he wasn't interested in thinking about it and said, "If you don't worry that the female ghost will kill your wives and children, I have no objection."
Hearing that, the old man seemed to be in a dilemma. Allowing women to enter the ancestral hall was against the rules left by the ancestors. Women could be killed by the female ghost. For a moment, the old man didn't know what to do.
"Hurry up and make a decision. If the female ghost comes out, it'll be too late," Wang Changsheng urged as he glanced at the darkening sky.
"There is a reason for this. I don't think the ancestor will blame us. Everyone, go back and get the bedding. Bring your wives and daughters with you. Be quick." The old man sighed. He knocked his crutch heavily on the ground and ordered without giving any comment.
Hearing that, the villagers didn't say anything. They quickly left the ancestral hall and walked back to their homes.
"Qiu Sheng, you stay here and follow the immortal. I'll go back and bring your grandmother here," the old man said to the boy, then turned and left.
The boy answered honestly. He picked up the big bowl and drank a mouthful of chicken soup with a satisfied look on his face.
"Qiu Sheng? Why do you have such a name?" Wang Changsheng said casually with a smile.
"Because I was born in autumn! But my mother left when I was born. My father was killed by a tiger when he went hunting in the mountains. Big Yellow also died. "The boy's expression turned gloomy.
"Big Yellow? Who's Big Yellow?"
"Big Yellow is the old hen at home. It's a pity that it was used to make soup for the immortal today," the boy said as he drank the chicken soup. He looked very satisfied. He seemed to remember that the chicken soup was made with Big Yellow.
Wang Changsheng chatted with the boy. The villagers who left also came back with their families. What made Wang Changsheng speechless was that the villagers not only brought the bedding, but also the pots and pans and poultry they raised.
In an instant, the cries of children and the cries of chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs filled the ancestral hall. Wang Changsheng was helpless.
What Wang Changsheng didn't notice was that a young man with a pale face came in with the other villagers. He only had a mat in his hand and his eyes were empty. However, the sky was dark and no one saw him.
"Hey, Daniu, why did you only bring a mat? Didn't you bring a blanket?" A villager who was familiar with the young man asked curiously.
The young man didn't answer. He spread the mat on the ground and lay down.
"Hmph, blame me for being nosy," the villager snorted. He laid down the mat and lay down.
Chapter 64: Immortal
The Female Ghost Appears
One after another, villagers brought their wives and children into the ancestral hall. Soon, the ancestral hall was packed with people. Although some villagers lit two candles, it didn't have much effect. The ancestral hall was still pitch black, and they couldn't even see their own fingers. 【..】
In this situation, even if the female ghost appeared, Wang Changsheng wouldn't be able to see her, let alone get rid of her.
With that in mind, Wang Changsheng took out two moonstones from his storage bag. The soft white light illuminated half of the ancestral hall.
