After speaking, Old Li dropped the board axe he was holding and grabbed my leg with both hands.
The rough palm was extremely forceful, causing severe pain, and I felt as if the flesh was about to be crushed.
But he didn't apply excessive force.
This way, my legs, shoulders, and head were held in place, rendering me completely immobile...
Suddenly, a sharp pain struck my neck.
I felt my head become heavy and lost consciousness.
When I regained consciousness, my body was bound tightly and I was sitting in a chair.
Old Li stood before me, his face with its prominent teeth, festooned with a sinister smile.
The ground beside me was dotted with the corpse of Liu Widow.
The two men were standing straight beside me.
One man wore a Tang dynasty robe, but his neck was bald.
Judging from their appearance, couldn't they be Xiao Zhi?
The other man was thin, his cheeks sunken, with a hook nose and deep blue Taoist robes, his waist adorned with a row of peach-wood swords.
Ling Dao Ren's appearance hadn't changed, but his eyes were no longer as sharp; they were hollow.
In an instant, I understood: Xiao Zhi was holding my head, and Ling Dao Ren had a grip on my shoulder!
When I parted ways with Ling Dao Ren earlier, he was still alive, but now his corpse has been bound here.
It was clear before my eyes that Lao Liang intended to capture me and send me up the mountain!
He didn't have any behavior to try to kill me, nor did he apply any severe force to compel me to release the earth qi!
I'm in deep trouble!
At this moment, Lao Liang stretched out his hand and hooked his index finger at the bottom of my chin, forcefully lifting it up.
A faint stinging sensation followed, but I remained silent, only fixating my gaze on Lao Liang.
"Mingtian, tomorrow, I'll send you up the mountain to enjoy your fortune."
"Oh, by the way, let me tell you that the corpse of that old thing isn't here."
"Lied to you."
Old Liang's face contorted into a sinister smile, and he continued in a low voice, "But soon, there will be a good show for you to watch in detail."
"He's got you involved too, he won't dare not come!"
After speaking, Lao Liang suddenly bent down, lifted up Liu Widow's corpse, and walked out of the hall.
The thud of the dull sound indicated that the body had been dragged over the threshold, its head hitting the ground, followed by a crisp sound.
Xiao Zhi's headless corpse remained motionless, and Ling Dao Ren next to him showed no movement at all.
However, my heart convulsed abruptly.
I didn't understand what Lao Liang was saying.
What kind of show?
And, who dares not to come?
Is he capturing me not only to send me up the mountain, but for other purposes?
In a blink, Lao Liang was in the middle of the courtyard.
He let go, flinging away Liu Widow's arm.
Then, he picked up the board axe on the ground and smashed it down with all his might on the back!
A dull sound, as if the meat had been turned into mud, accompanied by the cracking of bones.
Liu Widow's palm had turned into a piece of paper...
Lao Liang raised the board axe again and brought it down with the backside once more!
The sound of wailing gradually emerged from Liu Widow's corpse.
However, Liu Widow did not resist…
It seemed that the talisman on her head was controlling everything about her…
With each solid blow of the axe, the courtyard ground was stained with a growing pool of blood.
Liu Widow's two hands had been completely flattened...
"Not coming?!"
Lao Liang's eyes widened greatly, filled with bloodshot veins!
"I don't care about the concubine, okay, okay!"
"Then I'll crush your concubine and send away Luo Xian Shen!"
"I'll crush your concubine and then send off Luo Xian Shen!"
"A person chosen by a ghost won't die, but they'll be drained of their vitality to become a ghost man!"
Lao Liang's face was fierce but weak, his axe swung rapidly, and Liu Widow's corpse became increasingly pitiful.
In the end, there was left only a skin...
The surface of the skin was intact, but the underneath must have been rotten, otherwise, the blood, flesh, and bones wouldn't have oozed out and covered the ground.
My face turned deathly pale.
The stench of blood and flesh made me feel queasy. Liu Widow didn't scream anymore, but the blood and flesh on the ground were still wriggling. It was clear that her soul was trapped within her body, and now she had become this pulp, unable to escape.
This kind of bone-crushing pain might shatter her consciousness and turn her into a ghost.
However, what truly frightened and made my scalp prickle was Lao Liang's words.
Concubine...
Who was Liu Widow's concubine?
Is that the old man?
But the old man has nothing to do with me. Why is he dragging me along to threaten someone?
Old man, does he have something to do with me after all!?
This doesn't make sense. If the old man is related to me, why do I feel so threatened by it...
No, something is not right. As I thought of this, cold sweat broke out on my spine, soaking my clothes.
In fact, besides killing Wang Binian, which made me feel that the old man was extremely dangerous, I only met him at Liu Widow's house.
During the critical moment, Liu Widow sang a Peking opera tune to stop him from discovering me and Jingying...
Only the person in the situation can see clearly.
Even if we step back and think, wouldn't such a fearsome ghost be unable to detect the presence of life inside the house?
The situation at that time was too dangerous for me.
So the old man was facing away from me, not entering the house, and I mistakenly thought that he was truly attracted by Liu Widow...
Who is this old man!?
At this moment, Lao Liang lifted the board axe again.
This time, it wasn't the back of the axe, but the blade!
It's fine to smash Liu Widow, but he even wants to cut the skin into pieces!
A dull thud!
The gate of the yard was blown open by a violent gust of wind!
In an instant, the moon was obscured by clouds, and the weak moonlight was instantly blocked!
The lights inside the hall turned a ghostly green for a moment, but they too disappeared with a hiss.
Say it slow, say it fast!
The Dao Ren beside me moved!
In the next second, my vision adjusted to the darkness, and I could see again.
The sight that met my eyes made my heart feel as if it were being grabbed by a hand, making it hard to breathe!
A senior man had appeared in the center of the courtyard!
The deep black dress, covered with faint gray characters representing longevity.
His hair was neatly combed, not a strand out of place.
The bumpy alcohol-nose presented a blackish-red color, with half-closed eyes like crabs. In life, he had no vitality or spirit, and now as a ghost, there was no sign of resentment or malevolence.
This senior man...
He looked exactly the same as Old Qin.
No!
He is Old Qin!
The mourning clothes and longevity robes were changed by me personally.
The untidy hair was combed neatly by me.
Even the rouge on his cheeks was applied by me.
Suffocation, shock, astonishment, and stupefaction.
Then, came a series of uncontrollable throbbing pain.
"Old Qin! Go!"
I roared hoarsely!
Now, there is no doubt in my mind that Lao Liang is targeting Old Qin!
No, it's a corpse-summoning cultivator!
Old Qin's corpse was beside the corpse-summoning cultivator, but his soul had escaped!
Lao Liang used Liu Widow's corpse to lure Old Qin into a trap!
Old Qin never fell for the trap, so Lao Liang had no way to deal with him.
Only until I returned to the village and became Lao Liang's new bait!
My shout was almost inaudible, my throat filled with a taste of blood.
However, Old Qin didn't run. As Lao Liang tried to retreat, Old Qin grabbed his neck with one hand!
Suddenly, Lao Liang was lifted off the ground!
In that instant, Ling Dao Ren and Xiao Zhi arrived on both sides of Old Qin.
Ling Dao Ren's hand reached out, and a pitch-black peach-wood sword appeared in his grasp.
Xiao Zhi similarly reached out, reaching for Old Qin's head!
I was anxious to the extreme, exerting all my strength, pushing my body forward with a burst of force, and together with it, I fell forward and landed on the ground in a completely disheveled manner, unable to get up.
There was no sound, and Ling Dao Ren's sword pierced through Old Qin's waist.
Xiao Zhi's hands enclosed Old Qin's head, as if he were lifting a carrot, and lifted it up!
The next scene was even more unbearable to watch!
