Chapter 126 - Skin People
After hearing Zhang Ande's words, and thinking of Bai Ling'er's warning before she left, my heart sank.
I wanted to ask Zhang Ande, but I didn't dare open my mouth. Gritting my teeth, I strode into the hall.
When I saw the memorial tablet, I couldn't help but be stunned.
The name of the spirit tablet was not Zhang Ping's name, but rather the words' Sun Pai '!
Looking at the wall, there was a portrait of an old man wearing a ceremonial crown and wearing a long robe with his hand caressing his beard.
Sun Pai?
Wasn't he an ancient military expert?
How could Zhang Ping's family hold his spirit tablet?
The old man sitting on both sides of me didn't seem to notice my arrival. He was still sitting there with his head lowered, as if he was asleep.
I suppressed the doubts in my heart and walked to the old man on the left. I wanted to wake him up, but when I thought about 'Hua Xia' and Zhang Ande's nagging, I could only reach out to pat his shoulder.
When my fingertips touched his clothes, he jerked his head up.
At first sight of the old man, my scalp felt like it was going to explode.
The old man's eyes were wide open, but there were no eyeballs in them. Instead, there were two lumps of straw in his eye sockets!
Seeing the strange look on the old man's face, I took a few steps back in fear and reached into my bag to search for the bamboo knife.
Zhang Ande suddenly whispered into my ear: "Use the yin-yang knife!"
I hesitated for a moment before I took out the yin-yang knife.
The old man only lifted his head, but he still sat there motionlessly.
On closer look, my lungs almost burst with anger.
It was a fake made of leather and filled with straw!
But how could the dummy raise its head?
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and felt my heart turn cold.
Thinking back, he felt even more uneasy.
According to the tattered book, when a person dies, he becomes a ghost. At first, he was confused, as ignorant as a newborn baby. After that, he would gradually remember everything that had happened to him before he died. Only then would he realize his own situation and begin to think about where he should go from here.
The time of Zhang Ping's death was around 2.50 in the morning, but just as it was about three o'clock, she went to back street's store …
Even if she was going to die, it didn't make sense.
She begged me to bring her body back, but when it was brought back, it turned into a corpse and swallowed the heart of a male cadaver.
This was no coincidence... I've been tricked by that woman!
"Who are you?"
An old voice suddenly sounded in my ear.
I trembled violently and turned my head around only to see that the old lady on the right had somehow appeared beside me. She raised her head and stared straight at me.
Being stared at by her made me feel scared in my heart. I subconsciously took a step back and tightly gripped my yin-yang knife.
The old lady tilted her head and shrugged her ears. She asked again, "Are you my family's Pingping's friend?"
After asking that, he turned his face back to me, his eyes still staring straight at me.
I then saw that her eyes couldn't focus at all, and there seemed to be a layer of white skin covering the top of her eyes. This old lady is blind!
"Who the hell are you?"
The old lady stomped her feet and asked, "Old man, where are you?" Someone's come into our house. Come out and see who it is! "
Seeing that she was panicking, I couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to speak up, but when I thought about Zhang Ande and Hua Xia's warning, I didn't dare to.
The old lady groped her way forward. Just as she was about to touch the strange leather man, the leather man suddenly stood up!
"Old man... Old man, quickly take a look. Why isn't he saying anything? " The old lady said in a trembling voice.
At this moment, I was horrified to discover that the skin man's lips were slightly raised and a hand slowly took something out from behind his back.
It was an iron rod about two feet long, with two crescents at each end.
It was actually a shoe buttress!
The leather-covered man suddenly raised his shoe buttress and smashed it towards the old lady's head.
"Be careful!"
Shocked, I rushed forward and kicked the leatherman back into the chair, anxious to take the old lady aside.
I was about to look back at the leathery figure when the old lady suddenly raised her face.
Her originally dull eyes suddenly focused as she stared at me. Her eyes revealed a strange, devilish smile.
I shivered at her sudden change.
This old thing was pretending to be blind!
I pushed her away, took two steps back, and suddenly realized that the situation around me had changed.
The portrait of Sun Pai that was originally hung on the wall had disappeared and was replaced by a large 'Double Joy'.
Looking at the tablet on the table, the words on it had changed from 'Sun Pai' to 'Daughter Zhang Ping's Spirit Board'.
Not only that, there was an additional spirit tablet beside him.
As I looked more closely, all the hairs on my body stood on end.
This spirit tablet actually wrote my name!
"What the hell are you guys doing?"
I looked at the old lady in shock. She had already sat back in the chair to the right and was looking at me with a beaming smile.
On the left, the leather-covered person had turned into an old man. He was also looking at me with a sorrowful expression.
"Old man, it's our daughter's wedding day today. What are you doing with your face down?"
The old lady whispered before she suddenly turned towards me. She raised her voice and said, "It's getting late. Young Master, you should hurry up and leave."
As he spoke, he pursed his lips.
I subconsciously looked in the direction of her mouth and was immediately stunned.
Unknowingly, two big Red Lantern s had hung above the door. In the courtyard stood a big red palanquin, and on each side of the palanquin stood two palanquins wearing blue gowns with a red ribbon tied around their waist!
I felt my scalp tingling. Somehow, I remembered the paper man I saw in the forest back in Dong Jia Village.
F * ck, am I going to be married to someone else?!
I wanted to turn around and ask the old lady what the hell was going on, but when my fingers tightened, I was terrified to find that the yin-yang knife in my hands had disappeared. He subconsciously reached behind him, but the backpack was also gone!
My teeth were about to shatter, in the end, I still didn't listen to Zhang Ande's and Hua Xia's instructions, and still opened my mouth, I was hit …
"Let's go, don't miss the timing!" The old lady said loudly.
With that, the four sedan bearers lifted the bridal sedan and ran out of the courtyard.
"Heh, all of you are talking to yourselves, aren't you?" I said with a sneer.
"Quickly chase!" A voice suddenly sounded out, "One of the sedan bearers is Zhao Qi!"
As he spoke, the Red Lantern at the top of the door flew down and floated in midair.
"Xi Zi! You want to do this again? " I can't tell if I'm surprised or happy, when Zhang Xi was still alive, he wasn't this talkative!
The old lady suddenly jumped up and said loudly:
"Old man, they tried to harm our daughter, what are you standing around for?"
When the old man, who was previously unmoved, heard what I said, he stood up straight and his expression instantly turned incomparably sinister. He slowly took out a shoe support from behind his back and walked towards me, one step at a time.
"Old cobbler, you have already received your retribution, yet you still do not know how to repent?" Zhang Xi's cold voice came out, and the Red Lantern floated to my side.
The old cobbler.
"The corona can see the blade of the executioner, the craftsmanship of the paper man, the needlework of a second-skin craftsman … The second furianist sewing the corpse and getting the corpse is the best! "
The Old Ding's words resounded in my mind like an electric shock.
Looking at the shoe in the old man's hand, I suddenly came to a realization … Zhang Ping's father was actually a Second Leather Craftsman!
Hearing Zhang Xi's words, the old man's body trembled, his expression became even more sinister, and he suddenly raised his shoe, smashing it towards me.
Just as I was about to dodge, the lantern by my side suddenly disappeared, and I felt a weight on my hand. Lowering my eyes, I saw the yin-yang knife return to my hands.
At the same time, Zhang Xi said loudly:
"The crime cannot be pardoned, kill!"
Hearing the word 'kill', I gritted my teeth and threw the yin-yang knife towards the old man who was pouncing towards me.
The yin-yang knife turned into a streak of red light in the air and pierced the old man's chest like lightning. It then turned into a lantern and flew back to my side.
The old man stood there with his shoe in his hand, looking at me with disbelief in his eyes.
In the next second, it exploded like sand and disappeared without a trace.
"Old man..."
The old lady let out a mournful wail, staggered two steps forward, and threw herself onto the ground, wailing sorrowfully.
"Xi Zi, are we being too ruthless?" I couldn't bear to reply.
"A pitiful person must have something to hate. Quickly go, chase after Zhao Qi!"
The red light floated quickly out of the yard, and I ran after it, all the way to the back of the mountain.
"Xi Zi, can you not be so f * cking elusive? "What the hell is going on?" I asked as I ran.
"I am a ghost, of course I disappeared like a ghost!"
Zhang Xi's voice came from inside the lantern, "Old derelict did this and turned Zhang Ping into a live corpse. A live corpse goes into the grave and if he 'dies' again, Zhang Ping will become an evil spirit that can possess another body!"
"What's going on with Zhao Qi?"
"Not only Zhao Qi, but the other three are all people from the village, and they are all souls hooked onto the old lady using the diabolism. Once you enter the grave and become their companion, Zhang Ping will be able to absorb their Yin Sha. "
"There's a live corpse in the bridal sedan?"
This time, Zhang Xi did not answer immediately. Instead, after a while, he said angrily:
"No, inside the sedan was Zhang Ping's ghost, her corpse is doing evil on the mountain. This bitch is really black-hearted. Not only does she want you to die with her, she even wants you to be her man. To put it in a better light, you might have taken a fancy to you, but the truth is that I want your Yin Body and Evil Soul to accompany me in death. "
I was shocked and angry at the same time. This woman was too scheming.
It was all a lie that he wanted to see his parents for the last time.
I suddenly thought of something.
Zhang Ping's father went to identify the corpse this morning. The heart dug out male cadaver was brought to the mortuary in the early morning …
Maybe the old cobbler just happened to see the newly dead male cadaver, and did something to Zhang Ping's body at that time!
After running up the mountain, the Red Lantern suddenly increased its speed.
I ran madly behind her. Not long later, I saw four green-clothed sedan bearers running forward while carrying a bridal sedan.
Using the red light of the lantern to take a closer look, one of the carriage bearers was indeed Zhao Qi!
