The dark beast and his two-dimensional Taoist priest

"He is dead, struck by lightning."

These few simple words made both Gawain and Mei Qianqian slightly stunned for a moment.

After coming back to his senses, Gawain slapped his thigh and spoke angrily, "Well done! Even God can't stand the things he did."

"But I always felt that his death was strange." Wen Ruoxiang lowered her eyebrows and recalled Zhang De's death in her mind.

Mei Qianqian, who had never spoken a word, asked curiously, "What's strange?"

Wen Ruoxiang nodded, "Uncle Zhang had some friendship with my father in his early years. My father helped to collect his body. I was also there at the time. The injuries on his body didn't look like they were struck by lightning, but rather like they were struck by fire." Burns. It stands to reason that the eardrums of people struck by lightning will rupture, but he has no such symptoms, and there are no thunder marks left after being struck by lightning. I guess he was killed by some kind of magic."

"Evil magic?" Mei Qianqian frowned slightly.

Wen Ruoxiang frowned and said, "Well, the burn area on his body is not large. It should be related to the talisman."

"Didn't you check it out then?"

Wen Ruoxiang said: "At that time, the old lady's son and daughter-in-law happened to be missing. Everyone was busy looking for them, and people in the village didn't like Uncle Zhang very much.

Naturally, I wouldn't bother with this matter, I just helped bury the person out of some kindness. Later, the matter was postponed and no one mentioned it. "

Mei Qiantu asked: "The old lady's son and daughter-in-law are missing? Did they disappear while looking for someone?"

"Yes, how do you know?" Wen Ruoxiang was a little surprised.

Mei Qiantu told Wen Ruoxiang about the conversation with Gao Wen in the ghost old lady's yard.

Wen Ruoxiang was surprised and said, "Did the old lady tell you this?"

Mei Qianqian nodded.

"So you met the old lady on the day her son and daughter-in-law disappeared, but why would the old lady tell you this?"

When Mei Qianqian heard this, he scratched his head and said, "Do you believe I mentioned it in casual chat?"

Wen Ruoxiang: "..." Chatting with a ghost? Or a bad guy? Sure enough, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.

……

The few of them chatted about the ghost old lady for nearly an hour, until Wen Shuyu came over and called them to have dinner.

At dinner, there were only four siblings, Mei Qianqian, Gao Wen and Wen Ruoxiang. Wen Ruoxiang's parents hadn't come back yet.

After dinner, Wen Shuyu arranged a rest room for Mei Qianqian and Gao Wen.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Mei Qianqian lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Half an hour ago, he used the jade pendant to contact Bai Ze and wanted to ask him about Long Yuan's malfunction when facing the ghost old lady, but there was no response from the other party.

According to what Wen Ruoxiang said, the reason why the ghost old lady turned into an earth-bound spirit was because her son and daughter-in-law died innocently during her lifetime, and then she was wrongly accused and died with hatred shortly afterwards, so she was filled with resentment.

Earth-bound spirits are also known as Road Shas. If they have lingering wishes or unfulfilled hatred in life, they will be trapped in the place of death and unable to leave after death.

The abilities of earth-bound spirits will become stronger as their wishes or hatred increase. The stronger the thoughts or resentments they have during life, the stronger their abilities will be after death.

Mei Qiantu always felt that things were not as simple as Wen Ruoxiang said. He didn't feel any resentment from the ghost old lady, and even Long Yuan didn't react at all.

There must be something else that Wen Ruoxiang is hiding from him, or maybe Wen Ruoxiang is lying and hiding the truth of something.

But these are just speculations about Mei's future, and it's hard for him to draw conclusions until things are confirmed.

And the death of Zhang De... Wen Ruoxiang said that there was something fishy about Zhang De's death, and that he might have been killed by evil magic. Why did she think so?

According to her, Zhang De didn't have a good relationship with the people in the village, and his character might lead to enemies. In this way, the scope has been expanded.

But Wen Ruoxiang also said that the people in the village helped bury Zhang De because of their past friendship. If Zhang De's conduct was so bad, how could the people in the village owe him a favor?

Mei Qiantu was so annoyed by this incident that she scratched her hair in annoyance.

This matter was beyond the scope of his ability. He didn't think that he and Gawain, the newbies, could solve this matter with their own abilities.

She didn't know what was going on with Zhang Yifan and the others, and since she couldn't sleep anyway, Mei Qiantu simply got up and planned to call Zhang Yifan to ask about the progress of the mass grave.

After glancing at Gao Wen who was sleeping soundly, Mei Qiantu quietly walked to the balcony, closed the door and dialed Zhang Yifan's number.

In a tent at the foot of Abei Zhoushan, there were more than ten people sitting in front of a huge rectangular wooden table, discussing the matter of mass graves. The person sitting in the first place was Gao Xiaotian, the president of the Celestial Master Association, Gao Wen's father. Zhang Yifan was sitting next to Gao Xiaotian, listening to their conversation silently, unable to say anything.

"If you ask me, just burn the pile of corpses on fire, and it will be over."

A handsome middle-aged man said something in a low voice. This middle-aged man is Gao Wen's uncle, Gao Xiaohai, the vice president of the Tianshi Association.

Hearing Gao Xiaohai's words, another gentle-looking man wearing gold-rimmed glasses snorted coldly, "What you said is simple. There is so much resentment in the corpse pit. Go and try to burn one."

Gao Xiaohai glared at Jian Huaizhou in displeasure, "You!...Why do you have to say something back to anything I say?"

The gentle man met Gao Xiaohai's gaze and twitched his lips, "Who doesn't know how to speak nonsense? If you can, just shut up my mouth, senior brother..."

The man who responded to Gao Xiaohai was named Jian Huaizhou. He was about thirty years old, a few years younger than Gao Xiaohai.

He is also the vice-president of the Celestial Master Association and a direct disciple of the late Patriarch Gao.

It is said that he is a direct descendant, but Patriarch Gao treats him as his own son.

Jian Huaizhou was raised in the Gao family since he was a child, and he and Gao Xiaohai were fellow disciples. The two had not dealt with each other since they were young and disliked each other.

"Jian Huaizhou! Do you still remember that I am your senior brother, and how can you be so mean to my senior brother?"

Jian Huaizhou raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hidden anger in his eyes and a lazy tone, "Your face is thicker than a copper wall and an iron wall. You can't even hit it with a bullet. Do you need face?"

Gao Xiaohai choked, knowing that he meant something, and was speechless for a long time.

Things like today have happened more than once or twice. Everyone has long been used to it, and they did not stop the fight. They just listened quietly to the two people arguing.

Gao Xiaotian turned his head away without looking at them.

Suddenly, a sudden cell phone ringing sounded, drawing everyone's attention to Zhang Yifan.

Under the gaze of more than a dozen eyes, Zhang Yifan was strong and calm, and slowly took out the ringing phone from his pocket.

"Sorry, let me answer the phone." After seeing the name on the note, Zhang Yifan immediately stood up and walked aside to answer the phone.

"Hey, future."

"Brother Yifan, are you ready to rest?" Mei Qiantu waited for nearly a minute before talking to Zhang Yifan.

"Not yet, what's wrong?"
