Chapter 272 Something Ominous

Song Yan noticed the long slash on the hand of the old granny, it was deep and fresh as if something was stopping the wound from completely healing, she was smart enough to put two and two together. The villagers kept three bowls of blood outside their houses, one was filled with chicken blood, the second with pig and the third with human blood, however, the young woman looked completely energised and fine with rosy cheeks on the other hand it was the old granny whose complexion was pale and she looked like she was going to lie on her death bed anytime, most probably the old granny didn't want her granddaughter to suffer and that was the reason why she was slashing her hand to fill the bowl with fresh blood every night.

Sure enough, after she said that, the woman's expression changed and she glanced at the yellow talisman that had an intricate array drawn on it. " You are a master?"

" That's right, I can't say that I am powerful enough to deal with what lives in that tomb but I can make sure that you and your grandmother wouldn't have to do things like cutting your hands every night," said Song Yan leaning back on her chair. " This talisman is a security talisman as long as you stick it inside your house, every evil spirit would have to stop seven feet away from your house, no matter how hard they try to get close to your house, they wouldn't be able to get past the barrier and what's more, this talisman will embed itself in your house's wall, no one would be able to steal it away either."

The young woman's eyes widened as she licked her lips from her expression it was clear that she was tempted but at the same time she was hesitant about something, Song Yan didn't prod her any further she knew that the young woman would tell her everything in a few minutes or so. She saw the terror in the eyes of the grandmother and granddaughter when they thought she was here to talk about the tomb, with such a tempting deal it was clearly impossible for the young woman to refuse Song Yan.

" I …" after a long pause, the young woman finally opened her mouth. " I will tell you everything but please don't tell the Wu family that I was the one who gave you the information, will that be okay?"

"That's fine, I am not close to their family either way," answered Song Yan and the young woman's expression slightly eased down a little.

The young woman's name was Mo Jingzhi, she was born and grew up in the village, that was why she knew everything that happened six years ago. With her hands holding the teacup, Mo Jingzhi began, " Six years ago, someone from the city came to our small village, they were all well dressed and looked like they had a lot of money…with them was a young girl, she looked really sick and malnourished it was as if she would die with the slightest touch." She turned her head to the big window that was plastered with many posters and tipped her chin at a big house that stood the closest to the mountains where the tomb was. " They bought that house from the old landlord and then hired a few people from the village to take care of the young girl, saying that they were leaving her here to recuperate from her illness."

" At first everything was going well, the young miss and her sister-in-law were really nice and they treated the villagers nicely but then…" Mo Jingzhi's brows scrunched up as she continued, " Then those tomb raiders and the people from the archaeological department came, they dug that tomb out from the underground and opened the door that was locked by countless talismans and rosary beads."

" The door was locked?"Song Yan arched a brow and Mo Jingzhi nodded. " It was clear from just one look at those talismans and the rosary beads strings that the door was never supposed to be opened, that something inhuman stayed inside that tomb..but the archaeological department didn't listen to the objections of the villagers and what was more there were a few villagers like the greedy landlord who wanted to make some quick money, that was why they all agreed to dig the tomb out with the tomb raiders hired by the  archaeological department."

" The tomb's gate was broken and the talismans that were covering it were all stripped off the wooden door, thrown on the ground they were stomped on by those who dared to open that door." Mo Jingzhi sucked in a breath and Song Yan noticed the goosebumps that broke all over her skin as she spoke about the tomb. " After that, no one knows what happened …oddly enough the villagers who went inside never came out of the tomb and those who did, they were covered in blood, with their eyes wild and an eerie smile on their faces they muttered something that no one could understand ..later on, they all were taken to the mental hospital. The police said that the three groups had some sort of argument with each other and the quarrel became a bit heated which was why those who came out of the tomb alive were acting crazy but within three weeks even the survivors of the incident either  jumped off the hospital's roof or they killed themselves in the most heart-wrenching way."

" Some villagers wanted to close the door of the tomb again but no one dared to do so, after a long time someone mustered the courage but before they could even walk up the mountain, they died of a heart attack. The educated people said that it was because the man was already too scared and that was why he got startled and died because of a heart attack" licking her lips she blew a breath over her tea and added, " Even the Wu family thought so too when they were asked by the villagers to leave with their daughter but they didn't agree …However two weeks later the precious princess of the Wu family vanished."
