The Demonic Taoist Priest Emerges from the Mountain

Two door gods, Qin Shubao and Yuchi Gong, were pasted on the door of Liang Dong's house.

The distance between us was quite far, so I didn't really notice.

Standing beneath the two door god statues, my brows were tightly furrowed.

Door gods are believed to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune.

Ordinary evil spirits cannot get close at all.

Combined with the story Liang Dong told earlier.

Animal carcasses were left outside their door for seven days.

The animal carcasses were so badly mutilated that they were completely mangled.

At first, I thought this method was used by ghosts to conceal their ghostly aura, thereby deceiving the door gods and allowing them to sneak into the house.

But now, looking at the two door gods on the door, I suddenly realized that something was amiss.

The reason is that the eyes of the two door gods were covered with two blobs of blackened blood!

This method is called "covering the eyes" in our area.

The door gods pasted on the door will go blind if their eyes are covered.

In addition, the stench from the animal carcasses over seven consecutive days could mask the door gods' sense of smell.

When the two are combined, the door gods can no longer exert their protective power.

The reason I frowned was because the door gods' eyes were covered.

No matter how powerful the ghosts and monsters are, he dares not easily touch the door gods.

Not to mention doing something like covering one's eyes.

The one who can use dirty blood to cover the eyes of the door gods must be a living person.

If we say that the Liang Dong family's affairs involve living people.

Then the difficulty level of the matter will be greatly different.

My expression was very serious.

She turned back to look at Liang Dong.

"If you really don't want to live anymore, you don't have to come looking for us."

After saying that, I prepared to leave.

Because I know that Liang Dong must be hiding some crucial information.

In the story he just told, he was definitely not as uninvolved in the whole affair as he claimed!

Upon hearing what I said, Liang Dong immediately became anxious.

He quickly grabbed me, his face full of apology, and said, "Sir, I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it a secret."

Now that I've discovered it, Liang Dong no longer dares to hide it.

"The day after this girl died, her family came to see me..."

Liang Dong finally spoke.

"They asked for 20,000 yuan as a resettlement fee right away."

"I'm just a karaoke bar owner, where am I supposed to get so much money all at once?"

"Besides, this girl's death has little to do with me. I have already paid all the compensation I was entitled to. If they want to come after me, it's not my place."

"But this family is persistent and insists that I pay them this money. When I refuse, they make a scene."

"I was so bothered that I had no choice but to call a group of people and drive them away."

"But this girl's younger brother is very stubborn. Even after being beaten, he kept pestering me. I had no choice but to pull some strings and get that kid locked up for a few days."

Liang Dong's voice grew softer and softer as he spoke.

My brows furrowed deeply.

It seems that the door gods at Liang Dong's door were indeed tampered with by living people.

Moreover, these additional details explain why this ghost would haunt Liang Dong.

This ghost was short of money in his life, probably because of his family.

Now that his family has come knocking on his door, Liang Dong not only failed to resolve the matter properly, but instead chased them away.

As a ghost, it would be strange if I could stand this awful attitude!

Therefore, after Madam Chen died, the ghost turned its attention to Liang Dong.

Liang Dong beat up her whole family, so she would make sure that Liang Dong's whole family never had a moment's peace, and even make sure that Liang Dong's whole family died.

Ghosts are actually very petty.

If you offend them, it's a fight to the death.

I rolled my eyes at Liang Dong.

He said to him, "If you had just negotiated properly with this family back then, none of this nonsense would have happened!"

Liang Dong was also filled with regret, but there's no going back in this world.

I looked at the door gods whose eyes were covered and sighed inwardly.

When problems arise, you have to solve them.

I took a piece of red cloth out of my bag.

Then I took out a bottle of purified water.

This purified water is not ordinary purified water.

It was water I collected from the flowers, plants, and trees every morning when I lived in the dilapidated Taoist temple.

The water without roots represents absolute purity. I poured it onto the red cloth and carefully wiped the bloodstains from the eyes of the door gods.

After I wiped all the blood and grime clean, I took out a small box of cinnabar.

He lightly dotted the cinnabar in the box with a brush, and then drew a thin line around the eyes of the two door gods.

This is opening one's eyes.

It's not just applied to door gods.

All statues of gods can have their eyes opened.

Once the statue opens its eyes, it will possess true supernatural powers.

Ghosts and monsters generally have nowhere to hide.

After I finished doing all that, I stopped.

Seeing that I had stopped, Liang Dong quickly stepped forward.

"Sir, why don't you come inside my house and take another look?"

I shook my head and said, "The one who tied the knot must untie it. What happened to your family has nothing to do with anyone else. The most important thing right now is to find the ghost's family and ask for their forgiveness. Maybe then you will still have a chance to live."

Hearing me say that, Liang Dong nodded quickly, then took out his mobile phone and dialed the numbers of his underlings outside.

Not long after, his underlings sent back the message.

These past few days, the female ghost's younger brother has indeed been still in Qingshan City.

I'm currently staying in a small hotel not far from the karaoke lounge.

Upon hearing this news, Liang Dong eagerly led us to that small hotel.

When we found the female ghost's brother, I instantly got goosebumps all over.

The female ghost's brother had two huge dark circles under his eyes.

He was very thin, the kind of thin that a drug addict would have.

The person gave me the feeling of being very yin.

When he arrived in Liangdong, his back teeth were almost crushed.

"What are you doing here?"

The female ghost's brother pointed at Liang Dong angrily.

Liang Dong scratched the back of his head. He knew he was there to ask for a favor, so he adopted a very humble attitude.

"Young man, there might have been some misunderstanding between us. I'm here today firstly to apologize, and secondly, to clear things up, okay?"

Liang Dong had already made every effort to appear as if he were begging for help.

But the female ghost's brother had a cold smile on his face.

"Misunderstanding? You're the big boss, what misunderstanding could there be between you and us country bumpkins? Get out! My sister and I don't want to see you!"

As he spoke, he was about to close the door.

However, Ning Jinrou, who was next to me, was quick-witted and agile.

Just as he was about to close the door, Ning Jinrou reached out and blocked it.

We all heard what this guy said clearly.

Neither he nor his sister wanted to see Liang Dong.

Wasn't his sister already dead?

How could you possibly see Liang Dong?

The only possibility is that he knew his sister had become a ghost.

Moreover, the ghost is right here in this room!

That's why this person showed such strong emotions when Liang Dong and we arrived!
