Two high beams illuminated the road ahead.
The taxi steadily accelerated, and the city night scene was quickly left behind as the roads on both sides extended backwards.
Wei Yuan sat in the back seat with his long sword hidden in the package, not revealed. He already knew where the newly born fierce ghost was heading. From the trajectory, she was going to a mountain village called Dazhen.
The obsession of the fierce ghost was in that mountain village where things happened.
Wei Yuan closed his eyes and recalled the warning from the former commander of the Sili Army in the Moonlight Reflection on the River.
No mercy, when you cut, you must cut without mercy...
Wei Yuan's palm pressed against the Eight-Faced Han Sword for slaying demons and ghosts, and his expression gradually calmed down.
As a commander of the Sili Army, he should help the people of the human race and slay demons and evil spirits.
This is his duty.
................
The taxi driver finally stopped the car on the side of the road. Seeing that there was no village or shop nearby, he felt a little scalp tingling. When he walked further and further off the road, he worried that he might have encountered some bandits or something. He was just a big man and it was not easy to speak up, so he drove here with a stiff scalp.
After Wei Yuan got off the car, the driver felt relieved.
The driver lit a cigarette, his lips trembling a little while holding it. He took two deep puffs and then directly turned the car around, stomping on the accelerator and turning the steering wheel to the end. The old taxi suddenly turned around and quickly rushed down the mountain, with the engine roaring obviously due to too much gas.
Soon, only one taillight could be seen in the dark.
There was no intention to slow down at all when facing the mountain road down the mountain. The red taillight drew an S-shaped trajectory in the night fog and disappeared.
Wei Yuan was stunned.
It seems that he scared the driver.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at the mountain village. He untied the package containing the sword and took out the Eight-Faced Han Sword, and then flicked a demon-slaying talisman with his finger, allowing the spiritual power of slaying demons and ghosts to be attached to the blade. He also took out the Six Ding Six Jia Protective Talisman he drew himself, made a hand gesture, and stimulated the talisman.
Then he stepped into the village.
The thick evil spirit almost rushed over, but was forced back by the Six Ding Six Jia Talisman on Wei Yuan's body. The talisman on the sword also played a role, emitting a red light. Obviously, this village had been completely enveloped by the ghost realm. This was the place where the fierce ghost took shape and where her resentment was strongest, so she could exert her strongest power here.
The entire Dazhen village was quiet as if dead.
Everything was covered with a sticky shadow of bloodstains.
Wei Yuan stepped on it and felt a little sticky. Faintly, there were men's curses and women's cries in the wind, but he didn't know where they came from. When he turned his head to look, the sound would come from behind him, sounding extremely creepy.
Wei Yuan's expression was calm, and he drew the broken sword from his waist with his left hand.
The Thousand-Mile Tracking Talisman had been cast, and his own perception ability had greatly increased.But he didn't immediately pursue Dong Yu's direction. Instead, he walked slowly along the village, seeing the same low wooden houses as before. Looking through the windows, the villagers were all pulled into the ghost realm, trapped in a state of evil energy. The three lamps above their heads were almost extinguished, and the other two were also in danger.
In this situation, it only took a talisman to dispel the evil energy.
And the after-effects could be alleviated by the calming and soothing spell.
But Wei Yuan looked at the villagers with painful expressions and turned around expressionlessly, his footsteps not stopping at all. It was as if he hadn't heard or seen anything, still holding his sword and moving forward. However, when he walked to one of the houses, his footsteps paused.
The evil energy avoided this wooden house on its own.
There was a small baby sleeping soundly on the bed.
Wei Yuan was slightly startled, then immediately realized that this was the child the woman gave birth to before she died.
After all, it was his own flesh and blood. Even if the child was abducted and forced, this newborn was innocent.
Every child, before coming into this world, had no choice in their arrival.
They also had no choice in what kind of family they were born into.
But in general, after experiencing such things and turning into a vengeful ghost, they would often devour these children born in such circumstances under the drive of hatred and resentment. However, even after turning into a vengeful ghost, there was still restraint, and the child was not killed by the evil energy that invaded the ghost realm. Therefore, the woman must have been a very kind and good-hearted person before she died...
Wei Yuan looked at the child inside and took out the last Six Ding and Six Jia talisman from his body, sticking it on the door. A golden light flashed by, and the ghost realm's evil energy that would have avoided the area was thoroughly swept away. The child in the room was still sleeping soundly.
Even if a battle broke out later, the child would not be harmed.
He turned around and walked towards the center of the village.
There was a small villa, the only one in the village, built with enough grandeur to stand out from the surrounding backward and low wooden houses.
.................
"Come on, drink, drink!"
"Cheers, Brother Chao, I toast to you. Come on, drink."
A table was set up in the living room of the villa. Compared to the previous time they entertained the police and Xuan Yi a few days ago, the food and drink on this table were much more luxurious. It could be compared to a big hotel in the city. The short and skinny man bowed and smiled repeatedly.
The village head of Dazhen Village was also sitting on the other side.
At the main seat of the table, there was a gentle and elegant man in a casual suit, with gold-rimmed glasses. He looked like an ancient Chinese teacher or a university professor, but he was definitely not the kind of person who would appear in this kind of occasion. He took a sip of wine and put down the wine glass, making the man next to him who wanted to persuade him to drink feel embarrassed and awkward.
Liu Chao picked up a piece of food and said, "Zhou Er, let's not talk nonsense. What happened to your wife, I don't care. If you want to buy another one, this is the price."
He raised his palm.
Zhou La'er grinned and said, "Still five thousand?"
Liu Chao casually said, "Fifty thousand."Zhou Laoer trembled and spilled half of the wine in his cup, looking bitter as he said, "Fifty thousand?"
Search "pawread.com" for the original.
"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake, Brother Chao?"
"I don't even have that much money if you sell me!"
Liu Chao said, "Who would want your stinky meat? Fifty thousand, final price. This time, I'll find you a girl with a good background and gentle personality, so you can have a son. I have some photos here, take a look and see which one you like, and I'll bring her to you."
He took out a stack of photos.
Zhou Laoer looked through them for a while and thought they were all good, but when he thought about the fifty thousand, he felt unsure and said, "Brother Chao, can you make it cheaper? If this works out, you'll be my real brother, and I'll do anything you say."
Liu Chao sipped his wine slowly and didn't say anything.
Zhou Laoer became more and more subservient, and then he smiled and said, "You're a whole round older than me. I can't afford to have you as my little brother. How about this? You have a daughter, right? You give me your daughter, and I'll pick a good one for you for eight thousand. What do you think?"
Daughter?
Zhou Laoer hesitated when he thought of his own daughter.
The village head on the other side said, "Old Zhou, think it through. A daughter and a daughter-in-law, do you still need to choose? Your daughter can still have children in the future. If you miss this opportunity, when will you be able to save up fifty thousand? Do you still want to continue your family line?"
Zhou Laoer struggled for a moment and then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"
"But eight thousand is too much. Seven thousand!"
"Hahaha, that's more like it, Zhou Laoer is straightforward. Let's go, let's go."
"Right, right, let's go, let's go!"
Liu Chao laughed and stood up. They clinked their glasses and were having a great time when suddenly, the crystal chandelier hanging in the living room went dark, and the room was pitch black. Everyone was stunned, and then the lights came back on, and they saw a figure suddenly appear.
It was a woman dressed in white, with tears of blood in her eyes. Her body was twisted and contorted, and she had a terrifying deathly appearance, but you could still see her previously delicate features.
Click, click.
All the lights in the villa went out.
The three men's faces turned pale.
...
Wei Yuan stood in front of the villa, his right hand on the hilt of his sword, looking up.
Resentment, evil spirits, and the smell of blood were entangled in the villa.
Occasionally, there were screams of misery coming from inside.
...
Liu Chao was panting heavily, running forward in a sorry state.
He tightly held a white jade talisman in his hand.
His money was tainted with blood and dirt.
He knew it himself.
But when you've done it so many times, there's always some superstition involved.
He bought this talisman.
Originally, he just spent money to ease his mind, but today, this talisman saved his life.
It turns out that there really are ghosts in the world!
They're all dead.He saw Zhou Lao Er being stabbed in the stomach by the female ghost with the knife in her hand, and with a pull, a large string of intestines and red sausage were pulled out. Seeing the village chief trying to run, the female ghost caught him, and the knife in her hand was stabbed into his neck, blood splashing high.
Next, is it me?
No, I don't want to.
I don't want to die!
I won't do this job anymore, I won't do it ever again!
When I get out, I'll donate money to that Taoist temple, I, I will do good deeds every day, I will atone for my sins, save me, save me...
The amulet in his hand pointed the way, and Liu Chao actually broke through the ghost wall and saw the villa's gate.
His heart was overjoyed, and he crawled and ran out.
When he saw people outside, he was even more ecstatic, running and shouting:
"Help, help..."
He ran towards Wei Yuan.
Then he felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
Wei Yuan's face was indifferent, and the heavy hilt of the eight-sided Han sword in his hand struck the man's abdomen heavily. With his current physical strength, this move almost cost Liu Chao half his life. Wei Yuan spun around, snatched the amulet, and then heavily kneed Liu Chao, sending him back into the realm of the fierce ghost.
Liu Chao coughed violently, seeing the gate in front of him turn back into a wall.
He reluctantly threw himself on the door, only to find a hard wall. He hammered the wall one after another, roaring and shouting in madness and despair:
"No, you can't do this!"
"This is murder, murder, let me out, let me out!!"
"Let me out, I'll give you money, I have a lot of money, how much do you want, three million, five million? I'll give it all to you, all of it, save me, save me..."
The voice paused.
The woman's white clothes behind him turned blood red, and the short knife in her hand kept dripping fresh blood.
Outside the door, Wei Yuan slowly put away his sword. The effect of the Thousand Miles Tracking Talisman was still there, and he felt the strange breath beside him, and asked in a flat voice:
"Who?"
An old man dressed in a simple Taoist robe appeared and looked at the ghost realm. He sighed and suddenly asked:
"Why does the Taoist priest let the ghost kill people?"
Let the ghost kill 'people'?
Wei Yuan's voice was flat, and he replied with his sword.
"Wrong."
"Abnormalities in the world are demons, and anomalies in things are monsters."
"All I'm doing is slaying demons and eliminating evil."
