"Vengeful curses resound in my ears without end!"
His hands are about to close around my throat!
In an instant, my head buzzed.
The adulterer deserves to die!
Why do you have to be the unfaithful one!?
This is like having my head in a fog, unable to grasp the situation!
My body flashed to the side, avoiding his grab.
I reached down and felt a black hoof in my hand.
I hit him hard on the body!
A piercing shriek echoed, followed by a sudden plume of white smoke.
The black hoof struck him on the side of the head, causing his entire skull to cave in, looking particularly terrifying. The hoof was even embedded deep into his skull, constantly corroding him!
However, he seemed to have no sense of pain, and once again grabbed at my neck!
In an instant, a thousand thoughts flashed through my mind.
The dead man mentioned earlier about the three books and six dowry gifts!
He also said that the woman had completely forgotten him and had set her sights on another man!
Nowadays, how many people still follow the custom of three books and six dowry gifts!?
Wasn't it just recently, in the top floor of Yu Xiu's home, that I saw the three books and six dowry gifts!?
To talk about forgetfulness.
Yu Xiu even forgot who she was and what her identity was!
Even before I sensed her, she forgot who I was!
As for setting her sights on another man.
To Yu Xiu, protecting me in this dead man's eyes means setting her sights on another man?
He!
That's the thing inside the coffin that Yu Xiu's spirit is pressing down on!
I didn't expect that even though the ghost of vengeance didn't allow me to open the coffin, he still managed to escape!
The key point isn't the coffin lid, but the spirit tablet!?
In this flash of lightning and thunder, the man's hand was about to grasp my neck again.
Without hesitation, I grabbed Yuxiu's spirit tablet and struck him down with it!
In an instant, the man let out a life-long scream, not only failing to grab me but even falling backward, heavily landing on the ground.
He stared intently at the spirit tablet, his eyes filled with pain and sorrow.
With a resentful and clenched-teeth tone, he said, "Are you a man? Do you hide behind a woman! She's gone, and yet you still hide behind her spirit tablet!"
"You're not human!"
"Yes! You're not human at all! You're also a ghost!"
"Ghost?!"
The man let out a painful wail and covered his head with both hands, as if he was in a state of confusion. He also violently collided his head with the ground!
I became increasingly doubtful and puzzled.
Ghost?
I'm positive I'm not a ghost.
But Wei Yuming had said something similar: I caught the plague.
The plague implies that I'm a plague ghost.
Although I'm not, how could this man know about these things!?
There is still a sense of gaze behind me.
The wheezing coughs persist.
It felt as if he were leisurely watching a play or listening to a tune.
The man was still hitting his head against the ground, still shrieking in pain.
I took out the plastic bottle full of rooster comb blood and quickly pulled out three rooster tail feathers!
Focus on two things at once.
One part is ready to deal with the old man at any moment.
The other part is staring at that dead man!
He doesn't seem to be a pure ghost or a living corpse demon.
But what he says is too uncertain, posing a hidden danger to me!
I took a step and found myself outside the courtyard.
Suddenly, I raised my hand and thrust the rooster tail feathers directly towards his forehead!
I was about to drink the spell!
But right at this crucial moment.
The dead man suddenly halted his movement. He lifted his head and glared at me with eyes that turned crimson!
Suddenly, a strange, eerie smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
For some reason, a strong heart palpitation surged up within me.
This heart palpitation made me feel that if I were to injure him with the rooster tail feathers, it might cause a consequence that I cannot predict, which would be of no benefit to me!
The spell was swallowed back.
The rooster tail feathers were quickly withdrawn into the plastic bottle.
Once again, what I took out was the bell given to me by Mao San.
I shook my hand, and the bell produced a clear ringing sound!
A scream once again erupted from the dead man's mouth!
Following that, I also heard a muffled groan!
The muffled groan came from behind, and the clear oldness unmistakably belonged to the old man!
My hand felt scorching hot!
That scorching heat felt like if my hand grabbed a red-hot iron!
I also groaned and let the bell slip out of my hand!
The dead man leaped up in terror from the ground and fled in a desperate manner towards the distance.
I had wanted to chase after him, but then suddenly stopped in my tracks.
Turning around, I stared intently at the courtyard.
A quick glance revealed that the old man was nowhere to be seen.
Bending down, I picked up the bell.
The ancient and heavy bell had a thick, warm surface texture, but to my shock, I noticed a faint dissolution in the patterns on its surface...
The heat is less intense now, but it still comes from the retaliation of the Anti-Evil Copper Bell.
The dead man might not be so fierce, but the old man is terrifying beyond measure.
Now that I'm not shaking the bell, the temperature naturally drops.
Just... this dissolution makes my heart hang in the balance.
The hundred-corpse array of the ghost tablet is so terrifying, but the bell can still deal with it.
In front of this old man, the bell is about to be ruined?
What level of ghost is this old man?
Approaching the courtyard gate, I was extremely vigilant, scanning around but still couldn't see the old man anywhere.
Looking up, I stared at Liu Guan's door.
The door was closed, without any signs of being opened.
The hall below was as usual.
I hesitated for a moment, took out a handful of black dog ashes, and forcefully scattered them on the ground!
Incense dust will reveal the footprints of ghosts, while black dog bone ash can corrode negative energy. When ghosts step on places where it's scattered, the area will become scorched.
But the black dog bone ashes scattered all over the yard, and not a single footprint was seen...
I couldn't have heard wrong; the old man was definitely in the yard earlier!
Now that I can't find him, it's really like seeing a ghost...
I took another look at the night pot. If Lao Gong was awake, it would be much harder for the old man to run away.
Additionally, if the ghost of vengeance were to follow orders and help, it would reduce a lot of trouble...
I checked all the rooms again, but still couldn't find the old man.
Finally, I returned to the courtyard, feeling a bit depressed and dejected in my heart.
The plan not only failed but also startled the snake.
I suddenly wondered why the old man would run away.
Before, he was just watching like a spectator.
Or was it because I used the bell to hurt him, making him wary!?
Mao San's stuff is indeed different from ordinary items...
But in a situation where I've startled the snake, can I still find the old man?
I put away the eight-trigram flag and had to leave Liu Guan's house, heading towards my own courtyard.
The increasing annoyance in my heart.
Not just the old man, but also that dead man...
He... should be Liu Kan from Yuxiu's marriage contract.
Although he wasn't as fierce, he was still a potential threat...
It's actually Lao Qin, what methods did he use to make Yuxiu protect me?
He didn't change the marriage contract either, Yuxiu's memory, anything can be easily forgotten.
Was it Lao Qin who tampered with Yuxiu's fingers?
Lao Qin...
My face suddenly turned paler again.
Mao San gambled with himself and me that Lao Qin hasn't died.
I stated with certainty that Lao Qin was dead, but I couldn't gamble...
Fear slowly grew in my heart.
Mao San has always sown a seed of fear in my heart...
Lao Qin's issue is actually something that cannot be ignored...
If he's still alive, what is he plotting by treating me like this?
