Chapter 56 I Can Help You

Before everyone could get up, their hearts trembled when they heard these words.

The old man came in with a stooped body and a cane. He sighed heavily, and his eyes were full of sadness that would not go away for a long time.

He didn't say anything, just signaled with his eyes, and everyone walked out together. Seeing this scene, they all collapsed to the ground with weak legs.

I saw that the farmland that was originally filled with rainwater turned into a sea of ​​red, and bright red liquid kept emerging from the fields.

There was a fishy and pungent smell in the air. Jing Chu pursed his lips, with an expression on his face that others could not understand.

She understood that last night's big talk and today's weird things were all warnings from Songlian, and she didn't want her to get involved in this matter.

However, she also has reasons for taking care of it.

These liquids are not only unbearably smelly but also extremely overbearing. Whatever is in the soil will be eroded instantly if it comes into contact with this liquid.

Zhu Leng's brows furrowed into the character "Chuan", and the expression on his face was particularly heavy.

How much hatred and resentment must this have? !
When we returned, everyone had their heads hanging down and their faces looking ashen.

Jing Chu whispered in Zhu Leng's ear, "Send a signal to Xiaoyao Sect. This matter cannot be solved by just the two of us."

Hearing this, Zhu Leng nodded vigorously.

The old man walked up to Jing Chu tremblingly, with tears in his eyes, and made a gesture to kneel down towards Jing Chu, but Jing Chu's eyes gradually became colder and he strode away.

Seeing this, the old man's expression of sadness froze, and his movements stopped like this.

He wiped his tears and begged, "I know that the immortal master is resentful about what happened last night. I am too shameless to ask the immortal master to save us, but I only want to protect the women and children in my village so that our village will not be affected." As for ending the relationship."

As Jing Chu listened to his words, some unfamiliar images flashed through his mind.

She glanced at the numb-looking woman who was holding or holding a child and said something unclear, "If you were so kind-hearted, then these women wouldn't be here."

Suddenly, the old man's heart was shaken, and his heart was in his throat. He put on a forced smile, and the thousands of words in his mind that wanted to persuade Jing Chu suddenly disappeared.

After saying that, even Jing Chu didn't react for a moment.

She smoothed the broken hair from her forehead and said solemnly, "If you really want to survive, then tell the truth about how Tang Songlian died."

It seemed that he had expected that Jing Chu would ask this question, so the old man said it without thinking too much.

"Hey, this child Songlian died unjustly. Master, do you still remember the lunatic you met at the end of the village the day you first arrived?"

Jing Chu knew it wasn't that simple. She thought about it and then nodded.

"Songlian was imprisoned in the ancestral hall on the day she was caught eloping. Unexpectedly, Ergou, who usually seemed crazy, sneaked into the ancestral hall at night and defiled Songlian.
By chance, Mr. Chen heard about Song Lian's elopement, and he hurried over because he was worried that she would be embarrassed by us, so he ran into such a scandal. Later, although Mr. Chen accepted Song Lian, Song Lian could not bear the humiliation and hanged herself. "

Upon hearing this, an unknown fire arose in Jing Chu's heart, and he asked, "He killed a person, why didn't he be sent to the government?!"

Speaking of this, the old man's eyes dodge, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"We are also very angry about this matter. A good young lady was ruined like this. It's not that we don't want to report to the official. First, because the wedding is approaching, Mr. Chen is worried about damaging Songlian's reputation.
So I gave some money to the Tang family as compensation. Secondly, because Ergou had an abnormal brain and sometimes didn't know what he was doing, so he didn't report it to the official. "

Jing Chu had a dubious attitude toward the old man's words.

If it was true that Tang Songlian committed suicide because she couldn't bear the insult, why did it cost the lives of the entire village?

But Ergou may be the key to the matter.

Jing Chu's eyes dimmed and he was thinking in his mind.

"Where does Li Ergou spend his days?"

The old man scratched his head and thought for a while, "He is either wandering around the village, or in the ruined temple at the end of the village. Maybe he is still in the ruined temple now." After hearing this, Jing Chu planned to go to the ruined temple to have a look.

Zhu Leng was worried that she would be in danger alone, so he quickly grabbed her and said, "I'll go with you."

Jing Chu shook his head and broke away from Zhu Leng's hand.

"It's okay. I'm just taking a look. You go gather the villagers in the ancestral hall and set up a barrier. I'll be back soon."

After Zhu Leng heard the words, he didn't move for a long time.

Jing Chu ignored him and turned around to leave.

A ruined temple at the end of the village.

Li Ergou was lying under the Guanyin Buddha statue, holding himself up and scratching his body with one hand.

A messy mess of hair froze on his head.

Under the sun, a slender figure stood at the door of the ruined temple, but Li Ergou seemed not to notice, grabbing something on his body.

"You missed." A cold voice fell into Li Ergou's ears.

At this time, as if he had just discovered the person at the door, he looked at her and laughed stupidly.

Seeing this, the person at the door continued to speak, "I wonder if you underestimated her resentment or overestimated your own abilities."

When Li Ergou saw that the person at the door had no reaction, he pursed his lips in boredom and turned his back to her.

"You can't control her, but I can. I can help her get revenge. Accordingly, I need something from you and an answer."

Li Ergou didn't answer. Seeing this, the person at the door was silent for a few seconds.

"You still have two days to think about it. If you think about it, come to me." After that, the person at the door waved his sleeves and left.

After the person left, Li Ergou sat up suddenly and looked at the person's leaving figure with murderous intent in his eyes.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then left the ruined temple with purpose.

Jing Chu walked around the village and then returned to the ancestral hall.

At this time, most of the villagers in the village had moved into the ancestral hall.

Zhu Leng was still busy setting up the formation. When he saw Jing Chu coming back, he quickly stepped forward to check. When he saw that she was not injured, he asked, "How is it?"

Jing Chu shook his head, "There was no one in the ruined temple when I went there."

Hearing this, Zhu Leng frowned and expressed his suspicion, "Could it be that the old man is lying to us again?"

"Probably not. I see that there are indeed traces of people living there."

"Then he was kidnapped by Tang Songlian, right?!" Zhu Leng's heart skipped a beat when he thought of this possibility.

If he was really captured, based on what Li Ergou did to Tang Songlian before he was alive, there would be no chance of survival.

Jing Chu denied his conjecture.

"Tang Songlian doesn't have such ability yet. The reason why she has to wait until three days to seek revenge is because she is an evil spirit and lives by absorbing yin energy, and that day happens to be the day with the heaviest yin energy in this season."

Zhu Ling scratched his head and asked in confusion, "What is an evil spirit?"
