Chapter 23: Evildoers will be punished

That day, six strong men, shirtless and tied to the waist, carried sacrifices of pigs, fish, and chickens, as well as tables, incense burners and other utensils. The villagers and residents of the village gathered around disheveled Xu Taoist and came to a red willow forest in the southwest of the village. .

Xu Yuanchang raised his head and glanced at the sky above. The sky was full of clouds, and occasionally a little sunshine came through.

At the end of the dirt road ahead, there is a hint of gloom in the forest.

After giving the order, the men quickly placed the offerings, incense burners, and sacrifices on the roadside, and quickly retreated.

It didn't seem like anything before, but now everyone felt horrified, with goosebumps rising on their arms.

The dim forest makes people feel inexplicably uneasy.

Xu Yuanchang lit the incense candle, prayed, and inserted the four yellow incense sticks into the incense burner according to the rules. He saw that the incense mist was scattered and swaying, and the color of the sacrificial wine did not change. He knew that the innocent soul in the forest was not affected by the incense of the sacrificial offering and would not give up.

He still wanted to talk.

He cupped his fists in salute and said loudly: "Yin and Yang are different, and heaven and man are separated. It is not suitable for your ghosts to stay in the mortal world. If you have any unfinished business, let's talk about it. Maybe I can resolve it."

Wrong souls or remnant souls have deep obsessions and are unwilling to enter the netherworld. They have gone through the hardships in the world of the world and become ghosts. Almost no one in ten can survive.

If ghosts stay in the human world for too long and resentment is lost, it can easily lead to disaster.

Or they may be adopted by evil cultivators, sacrificed and refined into puppet tools, and become their accomplices.

None of them will end well. In the end, the ghosts will disperse and there will be no chance of reincarnation.

Waited for a while.

Suddenly, a faint and shrill female scream came from the forest: "I hate it so much... I have a injustice..."

A dark wind blew by, the willow branches swayed, and the thin leaves whirled like a strange smile.

All the old and strong men felt a thrill on their backs and numbness on their scalps.

One of them, a skinny man with a beard, had a pale face and trembling legs. He looked to the side in fear. The voice sounded familiar, but he didn't dare to run away alone.

Xu Yuanchang became more and more confused. He had seen ghosts that could make human voices. Their cultivation was beyond his current level, but he was still killed by him.

From his understanding, ordinary ghosts act based on the instinct of resentment. If they want to speak human words, they must practice to the point of enlightenment. Just like mortals, only those with suitable qualifications can practice and learn Tao. Otherwise, the world will not be full of powerful ghosts. ?
Why did he hear that it was a real woman who was imitating a ghost?
What on earth is causing trouble in this?

"What grievances do you have? Hongliu Village Clan Chief and Elders are all here. Can you appeal to them?"

Xu Yuanchang followed the tone and said that he originally thought it would be better to communicate through the magic method of ghosts. It was clear that he would not have to suffer. He would do his duty as a Taoist priest and let both of them settle their grudges. .

"Liu Erniu... In order to pay off your gambling debts, you secretly brought a gambler home in the middle of the night with the intention of assaulting your own mother-in-law. After you were discovered, you falsely accused your own mother-in-law of stealing someone. Are you still a human being? Why don't you give me my life back... …Give me back my life…”

The female ghost screamed in the forest, rising and falling, shrill and angry.

The noisy cicadas that had been chirping for miles nearby suddenly fell silent.

The white-haired old man looked back, trembling with anger, and cursed: "Where is that beast?"

Several people around the man hurriedly got out of the way, their eyes filled with contempt. If he did such a crazy thing, could he still be considered a human being?

The skinny man with a beard couldn't support his legs, and he fell to the ground, sweating profusely, and shouted: "I didn't, you are talking nonsense, you bitch... You and the adulterer are trying to kill me, my husband, and you have failed." He chopped me with a knife, causing a scene that was seen by all the neighbors. The wounds and scars on my arms are still there, which is irrefutable evidence... You can just go in peace. I will ask an expert to help you practice transcendence and burn paper money, paper people, paper horses, paper for you. house……"

He never expected that the dead would turn into ghosts and demand their lives.

The skinny man was so frightened that he almost lost control. He tried his best to excuse himself and make promises to get through this.

The female ghost's voice was sobbing, and she complained: "The gambler who escaped over the wall was originally a gangster in Qingshi Town, named He Dazhuang. He had a big black mole on his left cheek, and he was the adulterer Liu Erniu slandered.

"That knife was cut by Liu Erniu himself. The wound was on the inside of his left arm. It was a flesh wound. If I had cut him, it would have been on the outside. He knocked me unconscious with the back of his knife. When I woke up, I had a rag stuffed in my mouth. , put into a pig cage and carried to the pond, unable to say anything... I died so unjustly, and it even brought humiliation to my mother-in-law..."

The female ghost named her and reconstructed the events, linking them together.

The white-haired old man swung his crutch and beat the skinny man on the ground violently, and cursed angrily: "Beast, how dare you do such an evil thing and bring trouble to our ancestors, I will beat you to death for this scourge."

The skinny man held his head and screamed, running towards the gap. The people in the same village hesitated and did not stop him. Many of them were the same criminals who carried the pig cage that day and retreated back.

The white-haired old man was panting and cursing, and the patriarch and the elders whispered to dissuade him.

Xu Yuanchang heard that the woman was definitely not a ghost and she spoke clearly and clearly.

A country woman, even if she turns into a ghost, can have such knowledge?
There were many subtle flaws that fell into his ears.

He just watched with cold eyes, without any unnecessary words or actions, watching the escaped Liu Erniu stumble, turn around and come back, turning a blind eye to everyone, and ran towards the red willow forest on the opposite side, looking back from time to time, his face pale and frightened, as if there was a ghost. Chase from behind.

Xu Yuanchang was a little surprised and even stood aside to watch the show.

Evil will be punished, and sin will be punished.

I am very curious about the existence hidden in the woods.

He can cast spells to confuse Liu Erniu in broad daylight.

He was stunned and didn't see the clues. Of course, if he took action, there were several ways to break it. One of them was that he knew a lot more things now.

It seems that that existence cannot act recklessly, otherwise Liu Erniu would have died long ago.

The family god of the ancestral hall in Hongliu Village was disturbed, and the family god appeared to cause trouble. When the mage was found, he then used the mage to resolve the issue and publicly stated his grievances and cleared the reputation of the Shentan woman.

Such a link within a link, hidden lines and hidden lines, the calculation is really powerful.

After Xu Yuanchang figured it out, he became less likely to intervene, and at most added fuel to the flames.

"Ghost hits the wall... Liu Erniu is hit by the ghost hits the wall!"

Someone shouted, with a hint of fear in his voice.

It's broad daylight, and the Yang Qi is full in the morning. How can ghosts cast spells to confuse me?
Seeing the Liu clan chief, clan elders, and others, Xu Yuanchang looked grave. He pretended to take two steps, quietly clasped his fingers, and silently recited the wind-calling mantra. When he took the third step, a strange wind suddenly started blowing in the forest in front of him.

The branches of the tree swayed, rolling up countless thin leaves and attacking the Taoist priest.

The dust and wind made everyone hurriedly scream and retreat. Many people were blinded by the wind and sand, and the incense candles and rice grains on the altar were blown to the ground and ran around.

"The ghost is coming, run!"

"Protect the courtyard, protect the clan leader and clan elders, please don't cause chaos!"

This sudden change frightened everyone so much that the scene was chaotic and out of control.

At the critical moment, no one paid attention to the Taoist priest rushing in front.

Some people even complained that the Taoist priests were not good enough, but they still wanted to show off their talents, which made the ghosts angry.

Xu Yuanchang took the opportunity to retreat again, pretending that he didn't have to fight with that thing in the forest for the sake of an evil gambler and scumbag.

"Sanniang, please spare me for once... I was confused for a moment and did something wrong. Please stop fighting me. Please."

"Don't drag me, I don't want to die..."

"Spare me, for Na'er's sake, he's still young..."

The strong wind suddenly stopped, and the people who retreated more than ten feet away heard the clear sounds of kicking and beating coming from the forest, as well as Liu Erniu's frightened and changed screams for mercy. Everyone was frightened and terrified.

They could imagine the miserable and horrific appearance of being beaten, bitten, and killed by evil spirits.

The sound of "thumping" as he fell into the pool ended his screams and ended Liu Erniu's sinful life.

Almost everyone was secretly relieved.
