The shadows of the snakes varied in size. They moved along with the shadows of the flames, quickly moving on the ground. It was just like the night before when the snakes were crawling inside, vivid and lifelike.

I was so scared that I quickly dodged around, only to find that I was already surrounded by these snakes.

Not only did the mad sorceress's coffin fire give out such a snake shadow, even the flames in the houses near the village committee buildings gave out such a shadow.

The old officer didn't seem to notice and immediately asked me nervously when he saw me retreating.

I silently watched as the snake shadows followed the shadows of the flames and surged in all directions. I had a bad feeling about this.

However, when I saw the old officer's nervous expression, I hurriedly shook my head. "It's nothing. I just saw the ashes falling on my body."

Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. He patted my shoulder and said, "Then I'll head back first. This smell is too strong. I'll call for more ashes after the fire is over."

However, this time, it was too strange and no one came to see it, except for a few bold and idle men. However, those idle men were pressed down by the old officer to carry the coffins, and were afraid that something might happen and called them to come and they also ran away.

When the old officer left, the Daoist who had been silent suddenly turned his head and looked at me. "Qin Chenmo, I know you."

I don't know him.

However, looking at how that Taoist was only in his early twenties, he seemed to have heard my mother mention that he was forced by his father to learn Taoism and was afraid that no one would be able to succeed him.

The Daoist Priest didn't answer and continued, "This is called Snake Shadow. It was a type of shadow drama in the past. To be frank, this is the real shadow drama."

"What do you mean?" I didn't expect that this Taoist who only looked like a flowery figure was this talented. I hurriedly asked, "Where did you know that?"

"You really don't know me." The Daoist Priest rubbed his nose and seemed a bit dissatisfied. He chuckled and said, "My family is passed down from ancestors, and they are already part of the fifth generation."

Okay, I vaguely know that there's such a place in the village, but the village is so big. I was a good student since I was young, and my parents are very strict with me, so I rarely go out and ask about these things.

Seeing that I didn't answer him, he sighed and said, "Movies aren't like what we're looking at. We can divide the movie into Shadow and Shadow, and Shadow is the movie. If we want the shadow to be flexible and lifelike, we have to use real person's skin."

"And shadow lamps are not so easy to make, of which shadow snakes are the most important. You have to boil the snake meat into oil, the snake blood into paste, the snake skin into the lamp, and the snake bone as the stamen, and when refining, you have to suppress the souls of tens of thousands of snakes, in order to form a single shadow lantern." As the Daoist priest spoke, he quietly looked at the snake shadow on the ground.

He sighed, "When the Shadow Snakes light up, the shadows of the snakes will appear on the ground. When the Shadow Snakes light up, the shadows of the snakes will appear on the ground.

"How can this shadow harm people?" Hu Guyue was the first to refuse to accept this.

"Since you are Twin Pupils, you will naturally know that this world has been a scam from the very beginning." The Daoist Priest sighed, looked at the village committee who was almost burnt up, and said: "Qin Chenmo, the snake shadow lamp appears, Liu Kunsheng is about to return, at that time, I hope that you can preserve your initial heart."

After he finished speaking, he looked at me solemnly, then waved his sleeves and laughed out loud. After that, he looked at mad sorceress's coffin fire and cried out three times, lifting up his robe, and kowtowed three times to mad sorceress's flames which were spewing out snake shadows non-stop: "Your journey is one where you have sacrificed your bones, to protect the safety of your surroundings, I will definitely remember this."

After he had finished, he kowtowed three more times and left, his forehead dripping with blood.

Without even looking at me, I opened my mouth and called out to him a few times. However, I didn't know his name and could only shout out 'Ah Ah Ah'.

However, although he walked very slowly, he disappeared in the blink of an eye just like the mad sorceress.

Not long after he left, with a loud bang, the village committee wall suddenly collapsed.

Ah!" "Ah!" Hu Gu Yue exclaimed as she pointed at me and looked into the wall.

Many different kinds of snake corpses fell off from the red brick wall. However, these snake corpses had already dried up. Many of them were rotten and moldy. As they were burned by the fire, they emitted a thick fishy stench.

The entire red brick wall was filled to the brim with corpses. Just by the looks of it, there were at least tens of thousands of them.

I suddenly thought back to what the mad sorceress had said, that there had never been a snake nearby because he had swallowed one.

At that time, she was facing the willow tree where Liu Kunsheng was hiding, I thought she was talking about Liu Kunsheng, but now that I think about it, even Grey Immortal and the rest know his name, there is no way mad sorceress doesn't know.

In other words, the mad sorceress was talking about something else that was devouring snakes. In order to stop that thing from devouring snakes, she had constantly caught snakes that were near the village.

I suddenly understood why she wanted to guide the mountain god and marry me to him.

She wasn't afraid of the mountain god at all, she just forbade Liu Kunsheng from marrying me.

Grey Immortal had said that my blood has some effect, but since Liu Kunsheng is opposing me day and night, it wouldn't be hard for him to even bite me, what's going on here, is something that I don't know?

"Young mistress Chen, let's go." Hu Guyue was also shocked, she pulled at me and slowly left the village committee.

Following the collapse of the wall, the snake shadows also exploded, and the shadows of the flames also started to return to normal.

When I got home, my mother was holding a bowl and asking me where I was. I bit my chopsticks and asked her if she knew about the Daoist priest in the village.

"Last night's Taoist Huang?" My mother exclaimed and then said to me, "His family has always been Taoist in the village. Why?"

"What's the difference between his family?" I looked up at my mother with doubt in my eyes. He seemed to know a lot like the mad sorceress.

Hearing him kowtow to mad sorceress's coffin in the end, it sounds like mad sorceress is doing something like sacrificing himself for a person, but I really don't know what other things mad sorceress has to say other than catching snakes, it's so meaningful.

My mother thought for a moment before nervously looking at me and saying, "It seems nothing. They just rely on the people in the village to make a living, and since we don't have ghosts, we can't take on any other jobs, so we have to live a tough life. Don't think about it, I'm the first one to quit."

I didn't think that my mother would suddenly think of that. I hurriedly lowered my head to acknowledge her words before fiercely raising my head to look at my mother. "What did you say just now?"

"Don't even think about it!" My mother's eyes shone as she pointed at me. "How nice are Ceng Xiaoqiang's family's conditions? You have a successful career and you are old. Aren't you satisfied with what you have done? "Taoist Huang looks alright, but his family is all dead. Just him alone is living off those few legal events of the year. You can't die from crying after living with him."

As expected, in the eyes of an unmarried mother, men were only divided into two categories. Those who were suitable to be son-in-law were not suitable to be son-in-law.

"You say that there has never been a ghost in our village?" I tried to ask my mother.

She then let out a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Weren't you doing this recently? Are you taking over our village's work? "Our village is famous for its yang energy, its feng shui is good, and it is inviolable to ghosts and gods."

As the old lady spoke, she got spirited. She poked my nose and said, "That's why you have to be righteous. After you finish what you did to your father, return to school and properly study there."

"We will find a way to burn paper and make him sacrifice his life for you. If we can't do it, then we will ask the Dragon-Breaking Immortal over to help us, and our family will support him for generations. But you can't lose your life over this! " At this point, my eyes turned red.

He let out a heavy sigh and glanced at the stairs before whispering to me, "Don't look at your father as if he's fine. Ever since that incident, he hasn't been able to sleep at all. He said that a perfectly fine child like you was tricked by him."

As long as this matter is involved, my mother will never end, even Hu Guyue had to lower his head and hold onto his food, not daring to raise his head up.

I also nodded as well, looking at my mother, I thought to myself, "Since our village has never been haunted, then how did mad sorceress, this Goddess, come here? She came to our village because she wanted to starve to death? "

After I asked this, I suddenly remembered that the old official had mentioned that my village had a Goddess. There was first the mad sorceress and now I was there.

Something suddenly popped up in my mind. I hastily put down my chopsticks and ran towards the old administrative officer's house.

Taoist Huang's family had already been Taoists for five generations in the village. Each generation was more than a hundred years old; mad sorceress was driven mad by the destruction of four old years. Judging from the snake corpses hidden within the red brick walls of the village, she was not young either.

However, the village officer had said that she was a Goddess, which meant that mad sorceress was not the only one in front.

And my mother said that there had never been a ghost in the village, so why would the people of the Divine Path that they had managed for generations stay in the village?
