At the beginning, Da Jian was busy with everyone in the courtyard preparing to be buried things, but when he heard the commotion, he also charged in. He grabbed the door handle tightly and shouted at the Lin Zhishu outside.
One of them put down his things and ran out, probably to call someone, while the others put down what they were doing and rushed in with their fellows, as if they were facing a great enemy, looking at me with the same eyes as last night when they were holding a torch and were about to burn me to death.
Then the slapping became a dull thumping sound, as if someone was banging their head against the door.
However, this was not the time to think about what it was using to knock against the door. Rather, it was the time to think about how to prevent it from coming out.
Not long after, Qiao Anshan hurried back with the person who ran out to get them.
The moment he walked in, he immediately asked what was going on. I briefly explained the situation to him.
Qiao Anshan frowned after hearing it, he did not know what to say, although the corpse had strength, the red rope that had the effect of suppressing the Yin should not have been broken by him, so, Lin Zhishu, take the little kid and leave, I will think of a way to deal with him.
Lin Zhishu gave me a look, and I immediately followed him out. I temporarily returned to his house, but not long after I arrived, the Village Chief walked in.
When the village chief came in, he had a serious expression on his face. Lin Zhishu pulled over a chair for him to sit on and asked why he was here.
After the Village Chief sat down and looked, he glared at me, his expression becoming even more serious. After a moment of silence, he asked, I heard that you are Zhang Luofeng's grandson?
I nodded and said yes, and asked him how he knew my grandfather's name.
The village chief didn't answer my question. Instead, he asked me, "Do you know what your grandfather does?"
I said I knew, my grandfather was a tinker when he was young, and later went to India to be a corpse oil.
The village chief said, if you know all about it, why did you sell it to our village?
Originally, I wanted to explain myself. However, seeing that the Village Chief's expression was unkind, I decided not to speak anymore. I was afraid that adding fuel to the fire would only be worse for me. Thus, I decided to simply stay silent.
Do you know why your grandfather wanted to go to India?
I shook my head and said I didn't know.
He said that because your grandfather had offended everyone in this circle, if he didn't escape the country, it would be very difficult for him to survive. That was the reason why he went abroad.
I didn't say anything, and I didn't have any special feeling in my heart. I had lived together with my parents and grandmother since I was young, so I didn't have a deep impression of my grandfather.
The village chief was silent for a moment before he continued. We will not talk about what exactly happened that year, but it is because of you that so many things happened in our village.
I smiled wryly. Even though this matter started because of me and I have to admit to that, I don't have the ability to do anything at all.
I do not believe that you can't do anything about it. No matter what, you have to think of a way to bring that thing out of our village, and since the Lin Zhishu has saved you, we will not pursue this matter, but this is my bottom line.
I didn't say anything. I quickly tried to figure out what to do with this village chief, but no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't think of anything to do with it.
Only after a long while did news come through from the Bao Family. Qiao Anshan had already finished, by the time we rushed over, Bao Wenjun's corpse was already tied up and placed in the coffin. Da Jian's arm seemed to have suffered some injuries, and a bandage was wrapped around it, causing a bit of blood to drip out.
However, Qiao Anshan's body was covered with scars, as if he had been captured.
Seeing us come, Qiao Anshan said. Witch, this is not a Cyan Forehead!
But if this was not a Cyan Forehead, then what was it? I clearly saw Bao Wenjun's forehead change.
Qiao Anshan said to Da Jian weakly. "Hurry up and give me first aid!"
After saying that, he sat on the ground, untied his clothes, and then laid down on the ground again.
It was only then that I saw that, in addition to the scratches on his body, his back and spine were also injured in varying degrees. It seemed to be quite serious.
Da Jian shouted at me while he bandaged his wounds, don't just stand there, hurry up and call for people!
At this moment, I felt as though I had just awoken from a dream. I gave myself a slap on the face, immediately becoming much more clear-headed. Quickly, I turned around and ran out.
But when I arrived at the courtyard, I was stunned. Where was he? Why was there no one else around?
At that moment, I heard a chuckle behind me. It was very soft, but I heard it too.
Somehow, my intuition told me that the footstep was not a male's.
When I thought of this, I immediately warned myself, don't look back!
Since there's no one in the yard, I think I'll go to another house.
The moment I stepped out of the courtyard, I felt the laughter coming from behind me. It seemed to have become clearer than before.
I ignored him and ran to the courtyard of a house. After shouting a few times, I realized that there was no one there.
At this moment, the cackling laughter became a bit clearer.
Just to be safe, I didn't look back and headed straight for the second house.
However, after running more than ten times, there was not a single person!
Not only that, there wasn't even a single person on the road. It was as if the villagers had suddenly disappeared.
By the time I reached the last courtyard, the laughter behind me was very clear. Based on the distance, the sound of my footsteps was at most one meter away.
My intuition told me that the laughter behind me came from a child.
If it was before, I would probably have chosen to scamper away, but now I know very well that running away is useless, judging by this laughter, I wouldn't have been able to escape even if I had fled to the ends of the earth. Furthermore, I know that everything that happened in the village was caused by this fellow behind me.
I stood in place and thought about how I could break through this illusion.
I remember Second Master Lin telling me before, whether it was Phantom Wall or Phantom Blaze, ghosts can only do the same thing once, it definitely doesn't have the ability to do it twice.
Thinking of this, I was immediately enlightened. Didn't I just look for more than ten people? Then I'll go back and search again!
So I backed away from the house and went back to the one I had first entered.
As expected, when I entered, I saw that there was someone in the courtyard!
I immediately explained the situation to them. After they finished listening, they quickly rushed to Bao Wenjun's home.
Then, I quickly ran to the second and third house and informed a lot of people. I followed behind Bao Wenjun and went back to Bao Wenjun's house.
First, they found a group of people to carry Qiao Anshan away. This was because this old man was the one with the heaviest injuries, and Da Jian had already treated his wounds. A few of them made a bed for Qiao Anshan and carried him back.
As for the Bao Wenjun right now, he was already tied up and put in the coffin. He was still struggling, but it was obviously not worth it since there were already layers and layers of red strings tied up tightly around his body.
I asked Da Jian, just now old man Qiao Anshan said that this was not a Cyan Forehead, then what is it?
Da Jian said that he had been carried by the Infant Spirit, and this Infant Spirit could very well be that Holy Infant.
Once he said that, I understood. The Cyan Forehead had very minute changes, and had enough time to prepare to deal with it. I knew why the Cyan Forehead would change so quickly.
Cyan Forehead s could not release their resentment because of the corpse, but this resentment required time to accumulate.
But if the ghost controlled the corpse, wouldn't that mean the corpse would appear in just a few minutes?
The reason why Cyan Forehead s could exist behind ghost was probably because of the grievances of the dead.
Think about it, who is willing to have their body taken over by another ghost? However, it was unable to compete with the ghost and could only hold in its anger. As a result, the Cyan Forehead quickly underwent a change as the ghost took over its body.
Da Jian said. At first, Qiao Anshan thought that something went wrong when he was trying to clean the corpse, so he wanted to clean it up again, but when he got near to it, he was attacked. It was only at this time that he realised that Bao Wenjun was not a Cyan Forehead.
I then asked Lin Zhishu, what do we do next?
He said, think of a way to extract the Infant Spirit from the corpse.
After saying that, I saw a lot of people bustling around in the courtyard. In the end, they used a piece of paper to make a house, and carried Bao Wenjun out from the coffin and placed him into the middle of the paper house.
I started to get nervous, and I couldn't help but step back.
