CH 60

The sun slowly set to the west, and a village gradually appeared in front of them, with houses of various heights and sizes scattered around.

"You see, this is the village I was talking about." Li Zhi pointed to the large black tiles in front of them with a smile, and strode towards the inside.

"Follow me, I have a fellow villager here, we can stay at his house for free."

Watching Li Zhi's gradually receding figure, Li Huowang waved his hand lightly, and the two donkey carts also headed inside.

Walking on the dirt road between the houses, Li Huowang and others looked around the quiet surroundings.

But strangely, there was no one in sight, neither in the fields nor in the yards.

"What's going on? Where are the people in the village?" Li Huowang wondered in his heart.

Just as he was thinking this, Li Zhi popped out of a corner ahead, and his old face was excited.

"Hey! Come over here, there's something lively to see! It seems like someone is climbing the ash! His face is scratched, but he's still going strong!"

"Climbing the ash? What is that?" No one answered Li Huowang's question, and he turned his head to see everyone looking embarrassed, especially Bai Lingmiao, who blushed and hung her head.

"Li Senior Brother, let's not join in the fun. It's someone else's family matter."

Li Huowang looked at her in confusion, then turned and walked towards Li Zhi.

Just around the corner, the view suddenly opened up, and men, women, and children dressed in rural attire crowded around a family's doorstep. Li Zhi stood on the edge of the crowd, tiptoeing and leaning on someone's shoulder to peer inside.

After a while, it turned out that the whole village had come to join in the fun.

"What is climbing the ash?" Li Huowang asked Li Zhi.

"Old man stealing his son's wife, is there another name for it in your area? Where are you from?" Li Zhi looked at Li Huowang with surprise, sizing him up and down.

After hearing the explanation, Li Huowang was speechless, no wonder Bai Lingmiao had that expression just now.

"Ah~!!" A woman's piercing scream exploded in the center of the crowd, and the onlookers buzzed and suddenly retreated.

Taking advantage of the gap, Li Huowang saw a strange scene inside.

A naked woman twisted like a snake with her limbs on an eight immortals table, screaming and trembling.

"Oh no, it seems like someone has hit a ghost, not climbing the ash." Li Zhi slapped his hands in annoyance and pushed his way inside.

"Excuse me, I'm a spirit medium, please make way." Li Huowang stopped in his tracks as he was about to turn around. "Is he planning to start exorcising with his own methods?"

Finally squeezing into the crowd, Li Zhi looked around and waved at Li Huowang. "Real person, come here quickly, why are you standing so far away?"

Li Huowang thought for a moment and also squeezed into the crowd.

This guy looked a little out of place, and this was a good opportunity to see what he was capable of.If he was just messing around, there was no need for him to help solve his own problems, lest Danyang Zi eat him like a Buddha.

When he came to the center of the crowd, he saw more clearly that the woman with strange behavior on the Eight Immortals table was obviously very abnormal.

There were no black pupils in her beautiful phoenix eyes, and her eyes seemed to have five eyelids.

Standing next to her were an old man and a young boy with scratched faces, looking like they were in trouble.

"Real person, you see this, are you coming or am I?" Li Zhi whispered to Li Huowang again.

"How about we go together, and after you can ask for more money, we'll split it in half, so we won't break the rules of jumping gods."

"No need, I'm not good at exorcism, you go." Li Huowang refused outright, he couldn't do it anyway.

Hearing Li Huowang's explanation, Li Zhi looked surprised. "Are you kidding me? You can't even exorcise evil spirits, are you a fake Taoist?"

"Hurry up, look, this woman is about to break her bones." Li Huowang pointed to the woman on the Eight Immortals table with his finger.

The woman who had just been coiled up had bitten her lips, blood dripping down her chin, and her limbs and joints were creaking.

"It seems that ordinary people are not as far away from these things as I thought, they just use exorcism to explain everything." Li Huowang thought to himself.

"What if Li Zhi happens to not be here today? What will they do?" Li Huowang thought as he looked at Li Zhi negotiating with the victim next to him.

Looking at the old farming tools, the barefoot people covered in yellow mud, and the old and young people with sad faces, the answer to this question was simple and cruel.

This kind of thing is probably like poor people getting sick, small illnesses can be endured, big illnesses have to be borne, and if you can't resist it, you just have to lie down.

"Cough cough~!" A cough silenced the buzzing discussion of the crowd.

"Dong~!" With Li Zhi's light tapping on the old drum around his waist, everyone present's heart trembled.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!" "Please ~ God ~ come ~ out~~!"

This confident and high-pitched voice shouted out, suppressing all the sounds around.

Li Huowang turned his head to look outside the house, the red light in the sky was gradually disappearing, and the silent night was about to come.

"The sun sets in the west ~ it's dark now ~~! The dragon returns to the sea and the tiger returns to the mountain ~ The dragon returning to the sea can bring rain ~ The tiger returning to the mountain can sleep peacefully ~ Hey hey ~…."

As Li Zhi sang the words with the same rhythm as the drumbeat, the Twin Soul, who had no presence before, began to tremble, and the red cover on her head and the colorful cloth strips on her body also shook.

"Seven-star glass tiles on the top of the head, stepping on the eight-sided purple gold bricks. Feet on the ground, head in the sky. Take big steps and walk in a chain, stand firmly on both feet and rely on the camp. Burn incense, beat the drum, and invite the old immortal ~…."

As Li Zhi beat the drum and lit a few sticks of incense, he inserted them around the woman on the Eight Immortals table.

The disheveled woman snarled like a beast and was about to pounce, but after touching the white smoke, she shrank back with a scream.The white smoke from the incense stick didn't dissipate, but swirled slowly around the room. After a while, the room became hazy.

Li Huowang's eyes twitched, and he began to feel inexplicably restless. He looked around at everything that seemed perfectly normal, furrowed his brow, and pinched the back of his neck with his hand before taking a couple of steps back.

"Gok!" The woman under the red cover suddenly made a sound, hiccupping and making rustling noises from under the cover.

The crowd around, who had been watching the spectacle, was clearly frightened and began to disperse. Some of the more timid people ran home before it got completely dark.

Hearing the hiccuping sound, Li Zhi turned his head to look, but continued to drum and sing.

"Oh, immortal, I know you're coming. Don't make a fuss or a noise. You have great power and a lot of killing intent. With great power and little killing intent, come on~"

"The room is small, and it's easy to bump into things. It's easy to deal with gentlemen, but it's hard to deal with villains~"
