When I saw the black cat on top of Da Niu, I was so shocked that I couldn't say anything.
Black cats have always been considered an ominous thing in our countryside, and usually no one wants to keep one.
But, whose family was this black cat from?
More importantly, this black cat actually dug out Da Niu's soul right in front of us.
At this moment, my mind was muddled. I muddle-headedly walked to Yi Yun's side and fearfully looked at the black cat that was slowly walking away from us.
The night in the mountain village was completely silent, not a single sound could be heard. The black cat continued to walk further and further away until it finally blended into the endless night and disappeared without a trace.
It was only then that I remembered that there was a lost ghost of Da Niu in the mourning hall.
Grandpa Chen looked at Da Niu, who was lying on the ground, and sighed. He shook his head helplessly as he walked up to Da Niu's body and carefully looked at it.
Under the urge of my curiosity, I suppressed the fear in my heart and slowly walked up to Da Niu's body.
Da Niu's face was ashen, his body was tense, his face was filled with indignation and anger. He slightly lifted his head to the ground and stared at the two images in the middle of the mourning hall with his round eyes, as if he had a deep grudge with the dead Zhang Quan Yu and his son.
This is the first time I've seen something like this in my life. If not for the presence of Yi Yun and Grandpa Chen, I definitely wouldn't have taken another look.
Grandpa Chen bent his back as he squatted down and walked around Da Niu's body. His old face became more and more serious. When he saw Da Niu's face, he exclaimed with a voice full of shock.
Yi Yun, who had been staring at Da Niu's soul, also walked over after hearing Grandpa Chen's call. He looked at Grandpa Chen with an inquiring expression.
"Don't move, look at the ghost." Seeing Yi Yun coming over, Grandpa Chen immediately reached out and stopped him, causing my ears to buzz.
However, they were still too late.
When I heard Grandpa Chen's words, I instinctively glanced at the ghost. I saw that the moment Yi Yun stopped, the ghost changed its stiff figure and turned into a gust of wind, swiftly disappearing into Lanxiang's stomach.
"Crap!" Yi Yun's body froze. He wanted to intervene to block the attack, but it was too late. He could only watch helplessly as the Lightning Stone burst into flames.
"Sigh, such a monster." Seeing this, Grandpa Chen no longer cared about Da Niu's corpse. He looked at Lan Xiang who was lying on the side with a complicated expression. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Such a vicious beast. I'm afraid this is going to be difficult."
I was surprised when I heard that. Everyone knew that change was abnormal, but what could I do?
Yi Yun rubbed his brows, looking embarrassed at Grandpa Chen as he asked for help, "About that." I haven't studied living people. What will happen? "A demon?"
"It's the Ghost Embryo, how can it be so easy to handle?" Grandpa Chen let out a long sigh, shook his head and gently placed his hand on Lan Xiang's abdomen. His expression was extremely serious; Lan Xiang had clearly fainted, but her breathing was not affected at all.
Grandpa Chen's old hand seemed to have magical powers. As soon as he placed it on Lan Xiang's abdomen, he saw that her complexion had slightly improved. It was a lot better than before.
I felt that it was a bit weird, thinking, could Grandpa Chen feel anything different from the moment he laid his hands on me?
Yi Yun was also looking at Grandpa Chen with a thoughtful expression. It seemed that he was quite interested in Grandpa Chen's actions.
The only sound that could be heard was the steady and heavy breathing of Lan Xiang in the mourning hall. Yet, it was very quiet in the mourning hall.
Right at this moment, a muffled "peng" sound could be heard. I was shocked and looked towards Grandpa Chen's direction.
It was good that he didn't look, but upon seeing it, he was startled.
In just a split-second, Lan Xiang's initially flat belly suddenly swelled up like a drum. It was as if she was seven or eight months old, and the dull drumming sound came from her stomach.
However, Grandpa Chen didn't let go immediately. His complexion became even more unsightly. The hand gently placed on Lan Xiang's belly also began to tremble. A few drops of sweat flowed down along the wrinkles on his old face.
However, this process did not last long, at most less than a minute later. Grandfather Chen gave a stuffy grunt, and his body suddenly trembled, falling onto the ground in the end. His deep purple lips trembled slightly, and the panic on his face was not concealed at all.
This matter originally seemed very ordinary, but because of Grandpa Chen's reaction, I was greatly shocked. I really didn't understand what had happened in the middle and couldn't help but turn my face to look at Yi Yun. His face was filled with shock, his brows knitted together into a square.
"Amazing." Grandpa Chen let out a long sigh. He stood up shakily as if he had aged dozens of years in an instant. He looked at Lan Xiang who seemed to be in deep sleep and walked back and forth on his walking stick.
"With flesh and blood as a medium and soul as a guide, this blood-related, half-human, half-ghost thing is indeed very powerful …" In the end, Grandpa Chen seemed to have no other way, so he helplessly shook his head towards Yi Yun with a pleading look in his eyes.
Although I was confused, I could roughly hear something from these words. It must be that the great ox's soul had entered Lanxiang's fetus, making it difficult for her to handle this matter.
Thus, I also turned my head to look at Yi Yun. Although I felt that this matter had nothing to do with me, in any case, I was still quite curious.
Unfortunately, Yi Yun remained silent. Finally, with hesitation, he took out a bag from his bosom. The bag was about the size of a fist and was filled to the brim. No one knew what was inside.
When Yi Yun opened it and took a look, I found that it was filled with white rice.
I couldn't help but be astonished in my heart. His body was covered with fragrant ashes and rice, why did he bring such a strange item along with him?
However, Yi Yun didn't pay attention to my curious gaze. He leisurely walked to Lan Xiang's side, scooped out a few grains of rice and gently sprinkled them onto Lan Xiang's stomach.
His actions were ordinary, and the rice he sprinkled was also ordinary. However, these few grains of rice were not ordinary at all.
As soon as the rice grains fell in the air, there was a puff of black smoke coming out of Lanxiang's stomach, instantly wrapping the rice up. After several soft "pu" sounds, the rice, which was previously as white as jade, instantly turned into black ash. The entire mourning hall suddenly overflowed with an unpleasant stench, as if a pig had been dead for dozens of days.
I covered my nose as my heart was filled with amazement. However, when I recalled the black air that was gushing out earlier, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart. I thought to myself that Da Niu who ran into Lan Xiang's stomach was really ferocious.
Yi Yun furrowed his brows, silently looking at the scene in front of him. In the end, he helplessly shook his head as if his strength was insufficient.
"Elder Chen, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with this matter." Yi Yun retreated to my side, his expression was rather unsightly.
Grandpa Chen sighed and shook his head.
At this time, Lan Xiang's lower abdomen once again went up and down. Moreover, the bulges were especially obvious. It was as if she had a baby that was about to be born.
Grandpa Chen's expression changed drastically as he looked at Yi Yun with an inquiring look. "The birth of a soul … we have to think of a way to deal with this matter. Otherwise, countless lives will be lost!"
Yi Yun chuckled upon hearing that, then shook his head and waved his hand. He looked at me and said, "It's not that I don't want to do anything, but I really don't have any other way. This soul is not to be underestimated.
However, Yi Yun changed the subject again. He said with a smile that confused me, "Unless a person with a tough life restrains himself and accepts this little thing, then there might be a chance of survival."
As Yi Yun's voice fell, he and Grandpa Chen both looked at me.
I raised my finger to point at my nose with a face full of doubt. Even though I had a tough life, I really couldn't do this. If it weren't for the two of them, I would have already run off to who knows where.
