Seeing that Uncle An entered the house without hesitation, the few of us followed Uncle An's footsteps closely to Old Lady Liu's house.
Uncle An lit a candle the moment he entered the house. Actually, Uncle An did not even need to light a candle because Blackie's flashlight was shining brightly.
After entering, Old Lady Liu's house was the same as the first time we came. There was a table in front of her and a memorial tablet in front of her. It was the memorial tablet of the deceased son of the Empress Dowager.
Seeing this, 2nd brother let out a long sigh. 2nd brother whispered to me,"I thought there would be some changes here, but it turns out that it's still the same.”
I saw Uncle An light a candle in front of me, then I whispered,"Fortunately, it's the same as before. Otherwise, who knows what happened to the house!”
After Uncle An lit the candle, he looked at the memorial tablet on the table carefully and said to me,"It seems that this person is the one who paid his respects. However, I don't see any evil aura from the memorial tablet. It seems that the person who died was also a kind person!”
When Hei Zi heard Uncle An's words, he said,""Uncle An, the memorial tablet belongs to Old Lady Liu's son. We knew about it the last time we came. However, it was really a little strange to place his son's memorial tablet in the main hall of the house!”
Uncle An walked around the table and said to us,"Don't underestimate this dead person. I reckon that everything that happened in this village was done by this person!”
After hearing Uncle An's words, Chen Qi shouted,"Uncle An, save me! Someone is trying to catch me from behind!"
The few of us were so focused on looking at the memorial tablet that we didn't notice Chen Qi who had been standing at the door. Hu Zi followed behind Hei Zi and did not pay much attention to Chen Qi!
After hearing Chen Qi's shout, Blackie's flashlight shone at the door. The moment the torchlight shone on the door, we clearly saw a person, a person who had been dead for a long time!
This person was none other than the owner of this room, Old Lady Liu. At this moment, Old Lady Liu knew that she was not a person no matter how she looked at it. That was because the hands that Old Lady Liu grabbed Chen Qi's shoulders were almost devoid of flesh. They looked like a pair of bones!
Old Lady Liu's messy hair revealed a vicious eye. Her eyes were filled with anger. It seemed that she would not let it go until she killed the few of us.
Chen Qi was almost unable to move in Old Lady Liu's hands. Chen Qi's body also fell to the door of Old Lady Liu's hand net. Chen Qi was about to be taken away by this unknown thing.
At this moment, the Beard was anxious. When the black lightning shone on Chen Qi, Hu Zi seemed to have gone crazy. He pounced on Chen Qi's side and kicked Old Lady Liu behind him.
He had used 10% of his strength in that kick. If Hu Zi had been an ordinary person, that kick would probably have taken his life.
However, after the Beard's kick, Old Lady Liu, who was behind him, was like air. Hu Zi's kick actually missed. When Hu Zi's feet touched Old Lady Liu, he felt that something was wrong. Fortunately, Hu Zi was born in the military, so his reaction was much higher than ours.
Hu Zi's kick did not land on Old Lady Liu. In midair, Hu Zi forcefully retracted his kick. Then, he barely managed to stabilize his body.
It was also at this moment that Uncle An, who was behind the table, pulled out his sword and jumped up. He used the table as a stepping stone and then slashed at Chen Qi's head.
When Old Lady Liu saw Uncle An's reaction, she didn't expect him to be so powerful. The Zhong Kui sword slashed at Chen Qi with a cold light. It was also in this instant that Old Lady Liu underwent a shocking change. Old Lady Liu was no longer human. When Uncle An's sword slashed past Liu Lai Tai, Liu Lai Tai turned into a cloud of black mist.
It was a ball of black fog that could never be seen clearly. Following the changes, Chen Qi could also move on his own. Chen Qi ran to our side in an instant. Chen Qi ran, but the black fog behind him still did not dissipate for a long time.
Uncle An said loudly to me,"Hurry up and go into the house. This thing is about to show itself!”
The few of us were dumbfounded. We had never seen such a scene in our lives. Hu Zi pulled Chen Qi, then the two of us and Hei Zi pulled me into the house.
Uncle An waved the sword in his hand in front of the black fog! Following Uncle An's actions, the black fog
She was changing in front of Uncle An.
In the end, a very young face appeared. He didn't look very scary. Instead, it made people feel that he was a kind person.
The sword in Uncle An's hand stopped as the face appeared. The black fog slowly dissipated, and a young man from before walked out.
After the young man came out, he bowed deeply to Uncle An. Then, he looked at us who were hiding in the inner room and bowed to us.
From the moment we entered the house until this happened, the changes in this period were like a dream. If we didn't experience it before, no one would believe such changes.
Uncle An's expression gradually calmed down. After the young man bowed, he actually said,"Greetings, Daoist Priest!"
Uncle An nodded and said to the relative in front of him,"I see that you are also a kind person. Why are you causing trouble here?”
The young man was wearing a long robe and mandarin jacket. It was obvious that he was from ancient times. The young man continued,"I've been here for many years. It's my fortune to meet you today.”
After hearing this, Uncle An continued,"What do you mean?"
This year's relative was like a scholar. He said to Uncle An,"Before Daoist Priest came, this place was already occupied by Yin ghosts. Daoist Priest, you must have noticed the strangeness of this place. I've been suffering here for more than a hundred years. The arrival of the Taoist priest today can be considered my release.”
When we saw that this year's relatives were talking, it didn't seem like they were evil spirits that wouldn't go away. We all stood up, and Uncle An put the sword back into the sheath. Then, he said to his relatives,"You don't have a beginning or an end to your words. Please tell me in detail what happened!"”
This year's relative also said very kindly,"Taoist priest, you might not know this, but I am the son of that old lady Liu. I was forced to kill my mother with my own hands and lived in my mother's body for decades, just to wait for someone like Taoist priest to come. This village has long since ceased to exist. Everything you see in the past is just an illusion of that demon.”
"Time is limited, so I can't tell you in detail. I can only hope that you can eliminate the root of the problem and completely eliminate that demon! I can only tell you that the reason for all this is in this dark Black Wind Ravine. You must be extremely careful!”
Before Nian Junting could finish his sentence, it was as if something had forcefully taken him away. As they spoke, Nian Nian's family disappeared.
The few of us were confused. Chen Qi woke up from his fear and saw that his family had left. He asked anxiously,"Uncle An, what's going on? How did this happen?"
Uncle An said," It seems that we know too little. Even such a kind person is being driven. It can be seen that the power behind this cannot be underestimated." Just now, I felt that the old lady Liu that the person had transformed into didn't have any intention of capturing Chen Qi. She did this to test my ability.”
"If my ability is strong enough, he will appear and talk to me. If it's not enough, I think Chen Qi will be in trouble. However, listening to the words of the Nian family, we can be sure that the power of the devil behind this place is not small. The sudden disappearance of this year's predecessor wasn't taken away by anyone. It was his own choice. From then on, he would not even have the chance to be a ghost.”
After hearing Uncle An's words, Chen Qi continued,"Uncle An, do you mean to say that this year's relatives have disappeared just like that? It won't appear again in the future?"
Uncle An nodded and said to me,"This young man has changed his appearance. It seems that he has long been lacking in Yin Qi. He is also forcing himself to say these words.”
After listening to Uncle An's words, I basically understood what was going on. It turned out that this year's relatives were waiting for the arrival of a person with profound Tao techniques. Before this, this year's relatives must have been controlled by some mysterious power. Uncle An's arrival gave this year's relatives hope of defeating the devil. Then, this year's relatives placed their hopes on Uncle An, hoping that Uncle An could eliminate the devil behind this.
At this point, Uncle An said to us,"Looks like we don't have to do anything about this netherworld tonight. He disappeared on his own, and there won't be another netherworld in the future.
Let's go out now and burn the house down. To prevent those ghosts from causing trouble here in the future!
Uncle An walked out after saying that. Seeing Uncle An walk out, what else could we do? Let's just follow Uncle An out.
After they went outside, the two of them and Hei Zi set the house on fire. The flames that were several feet tall soared into the sky and instantly lit up the entire village.
Uncle An brought us to the village entrance. Along the way, Hei Zi looked around carefully, afraid that there would be any ghosts. We passed through the entire village in the dark. Although it was very dark, the village no longer had the eerie feeling from before.
I followed closely behind Uncle An. I said to Uncle An,"Uncle An, according to the situation just now, our trip to the Black Wind Ravine this time is not going to end well!”
When Uncle An heard my words, he turned around and said with a very serious expression,"I know that. I'm not sure now, but since I'm already here, I'll get rid of the demon behind this even if I have to sacrifice my life. Most of the victims were kind and innocent people, so for the sake of these dead people, I will do my best!”
I was really touched when I heard Uncle An say that. We had only met Uncle An once. If Hei Zi hadn't randomly run to Uncle An's shop, I don't think things would have ended up like this.
If it weren't for Uncle An, I reckon we wouldn't be in this world anymore.
The two of them seemed to have the same feeling as me. They also said to Uncle An,"Uncle An, we will repay your kindness. If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't have lived until now!”
Uncle An said,""You can't say that. It's fate that you met me. It's the will of the heavens that I followed you here. There's no need to thank me. The most important thing now is to prepare. After what happened just now, we have to go back and make preparations again, because we can die at any time in Black Wind Ravine!”
Uncle An's words were very heavy! It caused a knot in each of our hearts, a knot that we will never be able to open for the rest of our lives.
