Deadly Twelve Days

By the time the old lady had covered more than ten meters, Yi Yun had already untied the red thread. The thread was tied with a copper coin as he said in a low voice, "Here!"

Just as she finished speaking, the copper coin tied to the red thread seemed to have grown a pair of eyes as it chased after the old lady.

Yi Yun's attack was fast, but the old lady seemed to be even faster. Before the bronze coin got close to her, she twisted her waist and a black shadow sprang out of her body. The old lady's body fell to the ground with a clatter.

I thought to myself, "Something's wrong." Then, I immediately ran over.

"Don't move!" Yi Yun shouted coldly and stopped me. At the same time, he rushed to the old lady's side. His fingers flew around, and in a short moment, he had wrapped the red thread around the old lady's wrists.

Yi Yun didn't even look at the shadow that came out from the old lady's body as he shouted at me, "Come and help me!"

When I reached the old lady's body, I lifted her up with both hands.

It was a strange thing, this old lady looked very skinny, her figure wasn't considered tall, but rather surprisingly heavy. The most unusual thing was that her body was very cold and stiff, to put it bluntly, she looked like someone who had been dead for a few days.

"The seven spirits are scattered in all directions, and the body is in chaos. Of course it's heavy, have you not heard of Death?" Yi Yun replied snappily.

"Old granny!" A roar sounded out, startling me. I immediately raised my head to look and saw the old man on the mountainside running towards us with a hoe in his hand.

"Crap, quick, dodge!" Yi Yun's expression changed. He immediately put the old lady down and pulled me to the side to hide.

However, when the old man saw this, he became even angrier. Even if it was Yi Yun, who was dodging and explaining at the same time, he still wouldn't be able to do anything.

I realized that the old man thought we had hurt his wife, and for a moment I was angry and amused.

"Don't move. If you move again, I'll retaliate." Yi Yun said in a threatening tone as he stood on the spot with a dark expression. It was useless to even try to explain himself.

"You've killed my wife, I'll fight you to the death!" The old man glared angrily as he swung the hoe in his hand.

Hearing the old man's words, Yi Yun sighed helplessly. After dodging the old man's attack, he reached out and grabbed the hoe. With a tug, the old man staggered and fell to the ground.

"I've seen your son and daughter-in-law before." Yi Yun threw the hoe in his hands far away as he said to the old man in a bad mood.

"Ah, you've met my son?" When the old man heard this, he was overjoyed and looked excitedly at Yi Yun.

Yi Yun nodded his head, hesitating to speak. He sighed, "However, you won't be able to see it!"

The old man's face paled and he almost cried.

Yi Yun walked over to help the old man up, pulled him over to the bonfire and sat him down. He pointed to the place where the old lady had been sitting before and said, "Your son and wife are already dead."

"Impossible, they're still fine today, they just made a ruckus!" Yi Yun's words caused the old man to burst into tears, muttering to himself. Apart from that, he didn't question Yi Yun's words too much.

I was a little curious. The old geezer's reaction was completely out of my expectations. Logically speaking, the first reaction of hearing such news should be to deny such rumors. The second reaction should be to vent my anger on the person.

However, I didn't see any sign of this in the old man's expression. I even vaguely felt that this old man knew that his son and his daughter-in-law were no longer alive.

Yi Yun sat to the side and stopped moving. Instead, he picked up the things that this old lady kept throwing into the fire. When I looked closely, it was actually a paper metal ingot.

I sucked in a breath of cold air. Why would this old lady be so good as to burn that thing?

"Tell me about your wife. You must know something." Yi Yun had a playful look on his face as he sized up the golden ingot in his hand.

When Yi Yun said this, the old man was obviously surprised for a moment. Finally he let out a long sigh, reached out a dry hand to wipe his face, and spoke in a low voice.

Originally, the old man and his son had thought that the old lady was definitely going to die, but they hadn't thought that the old lady would wake up after being unconscious for three days and three nights. Originally, this was a joyous event, but who knew that the first thing the old lady did after waking up was to eat.

At first, this was normal, but no one could have imagined that what the old lady wanted to eat this time wasn't rice or porridge, but incense.

This frightened everyone. After discussing it with his son, they all felt that the old lady might have been unconscious for too long, so they decided to make her a bowl of porridge instead.

However, just as the old lady finished her bowl of porridge, she vomited once more. Furthermore, the thing she vomited out was actually something black and smelly with an indescribable stench.

It was only then that everyone noticed the abnormality. The old man let his daughter-in-law look at the old lady while he and his son hid to the side to discuss it.

So, there's a legend here that ghosts can only eat candles, they absolutely can't eat things normal people eat, otherwise it's no different from eating poison.

The old man and his son obviously knew about this legend, so they discussed and got a candle for the old lady. The old man and his son obviously knew about this legend, so they discussed and got a candle for the old lady.

After that is the old man's son chasing after his wife, and then the old man chasing after her until Yi Yun and I arrive.

At this point, the old man looked at Yi Yun with a pale face and asked, "Mister, is there any way to deal with this matter?"

Yi Yun sighed, shook his head and replied, "Things are already like this, there's no other way. Moreover, I think your son and daughter-in-law have long been buried in the mountains. The only thing I can do now is to bring your wife's soul back, lest he comes back to harm you."

"Master, it won't happen!" The old man became anxious when he heard this and waved his hands, begging, "I beg of you, please don't bring my wife away. Now that my son's wife is gone, how can I live by myself if you take my wife away?"

Yi Yun gave a faint smile and waved his hand, "I only care about the dead. I don't care about the living. Besides, Yin and Yang are on different paths. If your wife comes again, you'll be the first one to die."

The old man was already in tears, almost begging Yi Yun. However, Yi Yun seemed to have hardened his heart, and didn't have any leeway to speak, "Even if you want to, you can't. Your wife is too stubborn, and once she's alone, it'll be fine. I'll be right here, I have to deal with this matter."

Hearing this, the old man sat down on the ground and stared at Yi Yun with a dull expression. His lips began to tremble violently and his throat began to produce a bubbling sound. In a short moment, his face turned purple as he fell down.

When I saw this, my expression changed. I thought to myself, "Don't be so kind as to do such a bad thing. If someone dies again, that would be troublesome."

Yi Yun was also surprised when he saw this. He pinched his fingers and thought for a moment before nodding, "That's how it should be, but logically speaking, their fortune in the next life should not be shallow and they should still be family. However, this old woman is a bit uncertain."

While speaking, Yi Yun walked towards the dilapidated house. After circling around the house, he returned to the bonfire. I looked closely and saw that it was actually a cloth shoe. It seemed to belong to that old lady.

Yi Yun took the cloth shoes and looked at them for a moment before raising his hand to look at the time. He handed the cloth shoes over to me and said with a mysterious expression, "Now is the time for you to display your abilities."

I looked at Yi Yun with confusion. Even though he said that I had left the Yin Master's side, I honestly didn't have any clue as to what I could do or what I wanted to do.

"Read it out with me!" Yi Yun had a faint smile on his face, but there was no doubt in his eyes.

I had no choice but to hold the cloth shoes and read it out loud to Yi Yun.

"Walking Yin Mufan, four seal of great age, chasing soul for a thousand miles, holding the spirit close to it. The cloth shoes have an owner, and the spirit soul recognizes him, bind him!"

Following my shout, the word "bind" has been stretched for a long time and was transmitted far away. At the same time, a weird aura emitted from the cloth shoe, spreading out like a huge net.

After about half a minute, my body jolted and I clearly felt the black shadow that had fled far away. I couldn't help but be overjoyed as I shouted in my mind, "Come!"

When I came back to my senses, the black shadow had already appeared in Yi Yun's palm. He took out a piece of red paper and wrapped it around the black shadow before throwing it into the fire without hesitation.
