Gu Immortal Returns

Chapter 24: Forcing Matchmaker Xu to Death

The villagers entered the Gu Immortal Temple and started a new round of worship.

When she discovered that the witch had returned, Niandi's aura disappeared again. She was also worried that she would be discovered by the witch. She was no match for the witch at all. If she was discovered by the witch again, she would never be able to run away again.

After people paid their respects, it was already midnight, and the villagers returned home one after another.

The Gu Immortal Temple fell into silence again. The witch did not leave, sitting on the futon in the main hall, drowsy.

I could see how tired the miko was. For her to be like this, I could only curse her thousands of times in my heart.

The witch didn't leave all night until dawn, when the rooster crowed outside.

The witch just walked out of the Gu Immortal Temple and returned home to rest.

It looked very peaceful that day, but he was completely shocked by Chen Dong's shout.

"Xu Matchmaker, you give my girl's life back, you murderer, I want you to pay with your life -"

Matchmaker Xu was hiding at home. Naturally, she didn't want to anger such people, but if she was entangled, there was nothing she could do.

Matchmaker Xu ran out of the house, followed by Chen Dong, who kept asking Matchmaker Xu to pay for her life.

Matchmaker Xu can only come to the patriarch's home.

When the clan leader saw that Chen Dong was entangled with Matchmaker Xu, he was planning to have Chen Dong driven out of the village.

Chen Dong was dragged outside by the villagers.

Seeing that he was so soft, Chen Dong had to be tough, so he shouted to the clan leader
"Patriarch, I want to sue Matchmaker Xu for seducing me. She seduced me and I agreed to marry Yue Yue to Wang Jizong. I went to her house that night, and she was not like she is today."

Hearing that Matchmaker Xu had done something immoral, the patriarch's face was very ugly.

"Clan leader, don't listen to his nonsense, he is all nonsense..."

"I'm not talking nonsense, Matchmaker Xu, I really didn't expect you to look like this..."

Listening to Chen Dong's nonsense, Matchmaker Xu was at a loss. She usually spoke eloquently when talking about marriage, but now she couldn't say a word.

The patriarch said to the villagers: "Drag her out, I can't let this kind of person dirty my place!"

"Clan leader, I was wronged - Chen Dong, you are talking nonsense..."

After Chen Dong saw Matchmaker Xu being dragged out, he followed her out of the patriarch's house.

People looked at Matchmaker Xu with contempt.

Matchmaker Xu knelt in front of the patriarch's house crying, not knowing what to do.

Chen Dong walked to Matchmaker Xu

"As long as you are willing to give me a drop of money, I will never pursue the matter between Yue Yue and Tian Qing again, and I will tell the patriarch myself that I am talking nonsense."

Matchmaker Xu looked at Chen Dong angrily, "Chen Dong, you are going to die a good death!"

"Think carefully. I will go to your house to get the money tomorrow morning. If I don't see the money tomorrow morning, I will spread the news about you seducing me throughout the village."

After Chen Dong finished speaking, he left happily, while Matchmaker Xu sat on the ground with a look that was worse than death.

Matchmaker Xu returned home amidst people's self-blame. Looking at the memorial tablet of her late husband enshrined on the table, she shed tears of grievance.
"Master, I'm here to find you - follow me over there -"

Matchmaker Xu wrote a letter of clarification, put it on the table, took out a rope and hung herself.

After dawn, Chen Dong came to Matchmaker Xu's house and stood at the door shouting for Matchmaker Xu to come out.

After receiving no answer for a long time, Chen Dong was about to break down the door and enter Matchmaker Xu's house, but was discovered by the villagers and stopped Chen Dong.

The villagers shouted for a while, but when no one answered, they worried that something would happen, so they jumped over the wall and entered Matchmaker Xu's house.

Pushing open the door, I saw Matchmaker Xu’s body hanging on the beam.

The villagers saw the clarification letter left by Matchmaker Xu and found the patriarch with the letter.

After reading the letter, the patriarch realized that Matchmaker Xu was dying to prove her innocence.

The clan leader ordered Chen Dong to be captured, intending to sink Chen Dong into a well to avenge Matchmaker Xu.

The clan leader asked someone to take Chen Dong directly outside the ancestral hall.

The villagers carried the patriarch to the ancestral hall.

After two days of rest, the witch finally recovered.

When she walked out of her house, she saw villagers walking towards the ancestral hall. "What happened?"

The witch learned what had happened from the villagers' mouths, and she looked angry.

Follow the villagers to the ancestral hall.

After Chen Dong knew that the clan leader was going to sink him into the well, he became afraid and his body trembled nervously.

When he was arrested, he kept begging the patriarch for his life. The villagers thought he was noisy and numbed his mouth with medicine.

Chen Dong could only sob and was speechless.

The patriarch sat outside the ancestral hall and looked at Chen Dong who was tied up.

"Chen Dong, you know this well well. Zhuzi and Linghua sank this well back then."

Chen Dong kept shaking his head, wanting to beg the clan leader for mercy.

The witch walked to the well, had the well's mouth dug open, and unlocked the seal at the well's mouth.

When the stone slab at the wellhead was removed, a rotten smell came from the well.

The smoke made the villagers gag.

The patriarch covered his mouth and nose, "Throw him down!"

Chen Dong was carried by the villagers to the wellhead.

Chen Dong Chen Dong struggled with all his strength, but still couldn't break free. Looking at the dark wellhead in front of him, Chen Dong's legs were so weak that he could no longer move.

The villagers raised Chen Dong high, Chen Dong closed his eyes, and the villagers worked together to throw Chen Dong into the well.

As Chen Dong was thrown into the well, a stream of black gas flew out from the bottom of the well.

There was a sound of splashing water coming from the well. I wonder if there was something scary in the well?Chen Dong is still struggling.

The witch immediately asked people to cover the stone slab, then she set up a formation at the wellhead again, and then had people bury the wellhead.

Not long after, the sound in the well stopped completely.

The patriarch said to the villagers: "Everyone, please go back!"

The villagers left one after another, and the witch walked to the patriarch

"There have been a lot of things going on in the village recently, and I'm now worried that something will change in the village."

The clan leader didn't say anything. Since the arrival of the Gu Immortal, several villagers have died. This is a big loss for this small village.

Although a baby boy was born, the troubled times still gave the clan leader and the witch a headache.

The sky had been gloomy, and it rained lightly at night. The witch asked a woman to bring clothes.

The sky was gloomy outside, and I was in the Gu Immortal Temple, looking out nervously.

I clearly saw Niandi's soul appearing at the door of Mrs. Sheng's house.

Niandi easily passed through the wall and entered Mrs. Sheng's home.

Mrs. Sheng's son was doing business outside, made a lot of money, and started his own business outside. He originally wanted to take Mrs. Sheng to take care of him in his old age, but Mrs. Sheng was reluctant to leave the village and insisted on staying.

Jin Lan could only stay with Mrs. Sheng in the village because they were together less and separated more. Jin Lan and Sheng Hongzhang had been married for three years and had not gotten pregnant.

When worshiping the Gu Immortal, Mrs. Sheng originally wanted to pray for the Gu Immortal's help, but because she didn't like the witch before, the Gu Immortal punished Jin Lan.

Mrs. Sheng's house is different from other houses in the village. It is a red brick house with high walls and is also very elegant. Sheng Hongzhang came to the village with craftsmen to build it five years ago.

It was also because of Sheng Hongzhang's concern that although Mrs. Sheng did not deal with the clan leader and the witch, they still did not dare to do anything to Mrs. Sheng.

When Nian Di entered Mrs. Sheng's home, he saw Jin Lan eating with Mrs. Sheng. The maid beside him told Mrs. Sheng what happened in the village today.

Mrs. Sheng said nothing, Jin Lan said

"If this continues, the village will have problems sooner or later. Mom, let's go to Shangli City!"

Mrs. Sheng thought for a while and nodded, "Mom, I see that Gu Immortal is really evil. If he stays here, something will happen to our Sheng family. Let's do this! Go and send a letter to Hongzhang and ask him to send someone. Pick us up and let’s go to Shangli City.”
