The Undying Immortals of the Terrifying Heavens

Chen Xing anxiously called out Li Qiang's name, and the old man finally walked over to him after a few hesitant steps.

Whoosh—!

The steel pipe grazed Li Qiang's shoulder like a sharp sword, tearing out a piece of flesh, before plunging straight into the concrete!

Chen Xing approached Li Qiang, who seemed completely unaware that blood was flowing from his shoulder.

Li Qiang was in a daze, and Chen Xing looked at the other person with cloudy eyes, his spirits also weak and confused.

Then Chen Xing slapped Li Qiang on the forehead and shouted, "Li Qiang, are you alright?"

Li Qiang suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Chen Xing behind him, tears streaming down his face. "Aunt Mei, you still won't let me go? Are you coming to take me away?"

"You gave me my life, you don't need to do this to make me go with you."

Chen Xing looked around but did not see Chu Renmei.

But no matter what, Li Qiang can't die in front of me.

Chen Xing tried to pull the other man away, but Li Qiang looked utterly despondent.

They eventually arrived at a park where there was no one around and no dangerous facilities.

Li Qiang seemed to have been drained of all his energy, silently shedding tears, which annoyed Chen Xing.

It wasn't that he thought anything of the other person; he simply didn't want to see the old man cry. He felt that if the old man cried, all the suffering he had endured in his life would come rushing back at that moment.

It's like a long river that has weathered the years is crying; how can Chen Xing stop the river?

Chen Xingcai spoke up: "Stop crying, tell me what happened."

Chen Xing's memory of the plot of "The Haunted Village" was a bit hazy; he could only recall the general outline. As a witness to the events, Li Qiang in front of him could undoubtedly help him.

The gist of it is that a group of reckless people start by playing a ghost-seeing game. One of them, named Xiaoming, has the ability to see ghosts and, although he doesn't participate, he still sees Chu Renmei.

One by one, the people participating in the game encountered accidents. In order to save people, Xiaoming and another man named Fa Mao found Li Qiang and learned about Chu Renmei's situation through him.

Xiaoming learned the location of Chu Renmei's remains and wanted to put a peace bracelet on her to appease her resentment, but he failed in the end, and Chu Renmei still existed.

Now, Chu Renmei has made a move against Li Qiang, which means that the plot is nearing its end as soon as Chen Xing arrives.

Is this good? It's very bad!!!

Li Qiang wiped the tears from his cheeks with his palm, his cloudy, moist old eyes looking at Chen Xing: "Who are you, and what do you want to know?"

Only then did Chen Xing belatedly realize that he hadn't introduced himself yet.

"Old man, my name is Chen Xing. I learned about what happened in Huangshan Village by chance. I know that some people still have grievances, so I came here specifically to find you and find out more."

After learning of Chen Xing's purpose, Li Qiang didn't care. His eyes glazed over as he spoke to himself, "I know it's because I brought people back to Huangshan Village and Aunt Mei disliked me. I never imagined that after all these years, Aunt Mei wouldn't let go and would even try to take me away. She used to love me the most..."

"That was around 1920. Aunt Mei was a village opera singer. Her husband, Bu Wantian, was a teacher, but Bu Wantian was no good person! He was a beast!!"

"This Bu Wantian was addicted to opium and owed money. He sent Aunt Mei to someone to pay off his opium debt. When the villagers found out, they said Aunt Mei was having an affair and beat her to death!"

"But in reality, it was all this beast's scheme. He had an affair with the daughter of Guangzhou's richest merchant, but he couldn't divorce her because of social customs, so he deliberately framed Aunt Mei. I was too young to do anything at the time. They threw Aunt Mei into a mass grave. I couldn't bear to see her die with her eyes open, so I told her all of this."

"In just three days, more than sixty people died in the entire village, and no one dared to live in Huangshan Village anymore."

After saying that, Li Qiang sobbed and wiped away his tears.

"It's so sad. Aunt Mei suffered so much in her life, and she still harbors such resentment after she died. She loved me the most when I was little. I'm getting old now, and I should go and keep Aunt Mei company."

"I want to learn opera from her. You don't know, Aunt Mei could have been a big star, but it's all because of that Bu Wantian..."

Li Qiang kept muttering to himself, as if he wanted to give Chen Xing everything he had.

Suddenly, his voice rose sharply, and his body trembled as he looked at the open space in front of him.

"Aunt Mei..."

Chen Xing looked closely, but there was still nothing there.

"Could it be because I haven't drunk any water that I can't see Chu Renmei?"

Chu Renmei's remains were in the water, and her resentment also dissolved into the water, so drinking the water became the medium for her to kill.

Just as the medium of the Great Black Mother is a name.

Li Qiang's body suddenly convulsed, and he coughed violently, his face contorted as if he had been frightened by something.

"Auntie Mei!!"

Chen Xing immediately covered the other person's eyes and cursed at the open space, "You son of a bitch, Chu Renmei, how much resentment do you have that you don't even spare the elderly? Don't you know how to respect the elderly and care for the young? If you have the guts, come at me, and I'll kill you!"

Unfortunately, Chen Xing had no intermediary to meet her, so he was unable to see Chu Renmei.

But under this bright and clear sky, a damp and smelly wind blew in, entering through Chen Xing's collar and drilling around his neck.

It was as if Chu Renmei was choking him with her pale hands.

Chen Xing shuddered: "Gan Lin's mother!"

Chen Xing didn't plan to stay any longer. He covered Li Qiang's eyes to prevent him from seeing Chu Renmei, then picked him up and ran.

You want to die in front of me? No way!

Chen Xing immediately flagged down a taxi, shoved Li Qiang inside, and hurriedly said, "To Huangshan Village, quick!"

The driver asked in confusion, "Huangshan Village? Where is that?"

Chen Xing was taken aback and looked at Li Qiang: "Hey, where is Huangshan Village?!"

Li Qiang was still in a daze when Chen Xing shook him twice more, pulled out a talisman, slapped it on his forehead, and shouted: "Supreme Star, respond without ceasing. Expel evil and bind demons, protect life and body. Wisdom is clear and pure, mind is at peace. The three souls are eternal, the spirit is without loss. Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!"

With a bang, the talisman spontaneously combusted, and Li Qiang's body trembled violently.

This is the Purification Mantra, one of the eight great mantras of Taoism. Chen Xing does not have the power to wield it, but he obtained it from Qianhe. It has its own magical power and takes effect as soon as the incantation is recited.

Li Qiang finally focused his mind and, under Chen Xing's persistent questioning, managed to reveal the location of Huangshan Village.

The driver's eyes widened: "Dude, what are you doing? Is Lam Ching-ying filming 'Vampire Family'?"

Chen Xing pulled out his pistol: "Enough talk, drive!"

The driver's face changed drastically. He realized he'd been robbed and couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Oh no!"

He floored the accelerator: "Damn it, it's Chow Yun-fat's 'Once Upon a Time in China'!!!!"

Nothing unexpected happened along the way. The driver stopped the car on the road with a mournful look on his face. Chen Xing took out some money from Li Qiang and stuffed it into his hand.

"Keep the change, please!"

Chen Xing told the driver to leave, but the driver still looked incredulous.

"Hey handsome, aren't you going to drive back?"

"You can wait if you want, I don't know when we'll come down." Chen Xing led Li Qiang up the mountain.

Huangshan Village has been abandoned, but fortunately, there is a construction project not far from Huangshan Village, and a road has been dug up the mountain.

As Chen Xing approached along the mountain path, he suddenly heard the sound of flowing water.

Chen Xing walked through a thicket of bushes and came to a deep pool. To his surprise, two people were standing beside the pool.

At this moment, Li Qiang suddenly became excited: "This is it! Aunt Mei is right here!"

The remains of Chu Renmei are at the bottom of the pool, and one of the young men is about to jump in.

Chen Xing immediately felt unlucky; he had barely arrived and someone was already courting death. He shouted, "Hey kid, don't move!!!"
