When I was a Taoist

Chapter 307

"Try it?" Erha glared, and the arrogant villagers were a little sluggish for a moment, but they still stared at us with angry eyes.

The village chief's patience seemed to be worn out, and he held back the anger in his stomach and said in a low voice: "You said it was a ghost, let us let this kid go, we believe you. You say you can catch the ghost, and we believe you too. More than a week has passed, and now you set fire to Widow Zhang’s house again, saying that it was to deal with the ghost. Now that the ghost has run away again, and Widow Zhang’s house is gone, are you treating people in our village like monkeys!”

Faced with the village chief's question, I took my time and said with a faint smile: "Village chief, don't worry. Although I still haven't caught Li Gui this time, I have roughly guessed Li Gui's identity. I think, Zhang Something must have happened to the widow's house, but you kept it from me, didn't you?"

Hearing this, the village chief's face changed, and he shook his head quickly and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about. Widow Zhang's man died three years ago. She has been taking care of the child all these years. How could something happen?" .”

I sneered and continued to ask: "Village Chief, tell me how Widow Zhang's man died."

"I was working in the field and accidentally fell into the water and drowned." The village head replied without hesitation.

At this time, some villagers also echoed, saying: "That's right, we salvaged his body with our own hands."

Hearing this, I shook my head and whispered to the village chief: "He was not drowned, but strangled to death. He was just thrown into the water after death, right?"

After hearing my words, the village chief almost fell to the ground as if struck by lightning, his face pale.He stared blankly at me, and it took him a long time to react. He just ordered a villager beside him: "You carry Widow Zhang to the guest house, and leave the rest here. You four, come with me. "

Hearing this, Fanchen and I looked at each other with joy on our faces.

When they came to the guest house, the village head sent away the villagers who were helping, then glanced at the unconscious Widow Zhang on the bed, shook his head and said, "You are right, something happened at Widow Zhang's house. It's a shame, so I kept it a secret and didn't want other people to know."

We did not speak, quietly waiting for the village head to tell the truth.Wiping his tears, the village head said slowly: "My son started having an affair with Widow Zhang a few years ago. The child born to Widow Zhang is likely to be my grandson. In the end, Widow Zhang's man smashed through this So the three of them wrestled together and ended up being strangled to death by my son. In the end I also found out about it, and in order to hide the scandal, I had to let them throw the body into the water. At first we We were still worried, but we finally found out that there was nothing wrong with each other, and we gradually forgot about it. Unexpectedly, he finally came back to take revenge now!"

I glanced at the village head with contempt, and suddenly I didn't want to interfere in their messy affairs anymore, and let these villains fend for themselves.But my duty is to deal with Li Gui, so I snorted coldly and said, "If you had told the truth earlier, maybe I would have sealed Li Gui by now. Do you know that Li Gui who died with this kind of resentment would die every day?" None of them are easy to mess with, if we leave now, the whole village will probably be bloodbathed by ghosts!"

My words did not scare the village chief, who was so frightened by me that he knelt down, kowtowed and begged: "Master, please take action and catch this ghost for us. I can give you whatever you want." you."

"That's what you said."

Erha snorted coldly, and said, "Bring me five roasted whole chickens right away, and leave immediately if I get impatient waiting."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about roasting a whole chicken, roasting a whole lamb will do."

The village head nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and hurried to make arrangements.I looked at Erha helplessly, and then said, "Now that the truth is revealed, what should we do now?"

"What else can I do, of course, find the man's tomb and seal the ghost." Fan Chen said, gearing up.

I have no opinion on this either. It is impossible for a ghost to live without a fixed place. Only its tomb is the best hiding place. This is why we have found nothing these days.Erha came to Widow Zhang's side, and said angrily, "Don't pretend to be dead, hurry up and take us to your man's grave."

Widow Zhang didn't move at all, obviously trying to pretend to be dizzy to the end.Seeing this, I rubbed my nose and deliberately said in a helpless tone: "Since she doesn't cooperate, let's go. Now that Li Gui has been angered, even if she runs to the ends of the earth, tomorrow night will be her death day."

As soon as the words fell, Widow Zhang sat up suddenly, crying and saying: "I will take you to the cemetery, but you must protect my safety."

"I don't necessarily guarantee your absolute safety, but if you don't go, you will die." Erha gave her a disgusted look. Widow Zhang had no choice but to lead us towards the village cemetery.

Walking to the back of the village, there is a large area full of graves.Widow Zhang grabbed me tightly, trying to identify the location.Finally we stopped at a slightly newer tombstone, with some yellow runes still stuck to it.

I reached out and tore off the talisman paper, and said with a sneer, "This is the method given to you by the old liar, right? Without this fake talisman, maybe it wouldn't have become a ghost so quickly."

Throwing away the talisman paper, I exchanged glances with Fan Chen, and started to build a formation here.Erha and Wang Ming stood guard at the side, ready to deal with the attack of the ghost at any time.

After setting up a simple formation, we hid not far away and waited.We haven't found this place for a week. Li Gui has regarded this place as a safe place, and normally he should return here.But we blew in the dark wind for an hour or two, not to mention ghosts, we didn't even see a will-o'-the-wisp.

"I didn't expect that the people in your village start well and end well, and there are no ghosts at night." Fan Chen sneered and said, "Otherwise, even we would have to hide from your man."

I don't know whether it was because of fear or shame, but Widow Zhang hid beside me and dared not speak.I was a little bored looking at the tomb in a daze, but a thought suddenly flashed in my mind, and I hurriedly asked: "The son of the village chief, is he still alive?"

Widow Zhang was puzzled by my question, she nodded and said, "Of course I'm alive, I'll live with the village chief."

"Oops! Go back!"

Hearing this, I was shocked, got up and ran towards the village.
