Chapter 1393 Strange Events in the Zhong Family

Shu Yu froze, then subconsciously lowered her voice, "This is blatant stalling! How did she fall for it?"

Meng Yunzheng facepalmed. "What do you mean, 'tricked'? You think I fooled the abbot? Do you think I have that kind of ability?"

Shu Yu thought about her master's abilities, and realized that calling it a lie would definitely not be appropriate.

"What happened in Zhongjia Village that made her stay for so many days?"

Meng Yunzheng said, "Two days before the start of the college entrance examination, I exchanged knowledge with several candidates. One of them happened to mention a strange thing that happened in Zhongjia Village, and I overheard it."

"What strange thing is this?" Shu Yu asked, intrigued.

Meng Yunzheng was afraid that she would make too much noise and aggravate her wound, so he reached out and pulled her closer, moving a little closer to her. "He said he was the village chief of Zhongjia Village, and his only son was very strange. Every half month, he would get up in the middle of the night as if possessed, grab a live chicken and eat it raw, his face covered in blood but he didn't care. It was very creepy to look at. But the next day, he had no idea what had happened, and when his family asked him, he was completely clueless."

Shu Yu's eyes widened slightly. Strange tales?

"My master is an exorcist?"

Meng Yunzheng found it amusing. "What were you thinking?"

"My first thought was that he had sleepwalking disorder."

Meng Yunzheng: "Then why is the timing fixed, happening only once every two weeks? This pattern is too consistent."

Shu Yu pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, and said, "Could it be that someone is playing tricks on us?"

Seeing her solemn expression, Meng Yunzheng couldn't help but laugh. Look at her, she simply didn't believe she was possessed.

Even though she was a disciple of the abbot of Dongqing Temple and had even witnessed the abbot's abilities.

Actually, he didn't believe it either, but then again, the unknown in this world is always mysterious and unpredictable.

He even went to the abbot of Dongqing Temple to find out who the destined emperor was.

Meng Yunzheng laughed and said, "I don't know what exactly happened. When I found out about this, there was only one day left before the academy exam, so I just listened and let it go. Who knew that after the academy exam, I would meet the abbess. She stayed for two days before heading to the capital. In order to keep her there, I told her about Zhongjia Village."

That night, the abbot set off for Zhongjia Village.

The next day, exactly half a month later, was the time when Zhong's son ate a live chicken in the middle of the night.

However, due to the short time available and insufficient preparation by the abbot, coupled with the fact that the Zhong family was unaware of her background and did not trust her, they turned her away.

Even when the Zhong family invited a monk to their home to perform a ritual for the deceased, the entire household was in chaos. In the end, they discovered that the monk was a fraud. Not only did he fail to perform the ritual, but he was also terrified by the sight of the Zhong family's son eating a live chicken with his face covered in blood, and he fled immediately.

This not only enraged the Zhong family, causing them to jump up and down in curses, but also prevented the abbot from finding out the truth of the matter in a timely manner.

In this way, the abbot can only wait for the next time the Zhong family's son 'falls ill'.

Meng Yunzheng delayed her for more than half a month, allowing Shu Yu to arrive at Changjin Mansion in time.

"Last night marked the half-month mark. If nothing unexpected happens, with the abbot's abilities, he has most likely found out the truth."

Therefore, it was the right time for them to go to Zhongjia Village today. Otherwise, after the abbot resolved the problem, he might not have met with Meng Yunzheng again and would have gone directly to the capital.

Then we'll miss it again.

This is why Meng Yunzheng rushed over with Shu Yu early in the morning without even looking at the list of results for the academy examination.
