As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd began to discuss them, and even the common people who had come outside the hall to file a complaint with the authorities joined in the discussion.

Upon seeing that the other party had completely given up and was now in a foul mood, the magistrate, his face ashen, began to rebuke him:

"Our county is upright and honest; not just anyone can slander it!"

"Drag this crazy woman out of the county!"

Upon receiving the magistrate's order, none of his men dared to disobey; each grabbed one of the woman's arms and carried her away.

The woman refused to give up and insisted on seeing why her husband had become like this.

Only after inquiring did they learn that the county magistrate had already married a woman who was the beloved daughter of the prefect of Kaifeng, a third-rank official in the capital.

It was precisely because of this that the county magistrate was allowed to temporarily stay in his hometown, and before long, he would go to the capital for a promotion and appointment.

The woman then realized that all the vows they had made to each other had now vanished like bubbles.

How she longed for the simple, ordinary life she once led, devoted to her husband and children.

If you ask her if she regrets it, she really does.

She had personally sent her husband away, but now things had changed, and her husband had long forgotten their promise from back then.

And what about herself? She waited for him for ten years, only to be told she was a crazy woman.

The woman had completely lost her mind at this point. She knew she had lost, and lost utterly!

The woman returned home heartbroken, and took out the same brush her husband had used ten years ago. She wrote the same poem from ten years ago, but this time, it consisted of eight lines:

To see through the myriad aspects of human nature

How can one merely preserve one's life by cowardice?

If your lofty ambitions still remain,

They trudged through the mud to leave the desolate village.

We once vowed to grow old together.

Unexpectedly, I am embarking on a new journey today.

Ten years of hardship shattered like a dream.

Death will relieve my longing.

He picked up the paper and clenched it tightly in his hand!

At the same time, he wrote a sentence on the table:

My son, there's no need to wait for your father anymore. He has already passed away in another place. You are now of marriageable age, and I have no regrets. Today, I will go with your father.

He then took out a hemp rope from the drawer, tied it to the roof beam, stuck his head out, and without even glancing around, kicked the stool and hanged himself!

As the woman died, the movie-like scene ended, and the chilling, bone-deep yin energy emanated from the surroundings once again, even more powerful than before!

The room was shrouded in a layer of gray, eerie energy, and the female ghost's figure was hidden within it.

All that could be heard was that resentful voice: "That's what you men say, it's all lies!"

"Different people in different centers of power will have different approaches!"

"The fact that you can still talk to me about justice and retribution only proves that you are hypocrites!"

As things returned to normal, I was able to see my master and Wu Shi again.

The female ghost's aura was even more terrifying than before, and cracks appeared in the floor of the house. It seemed that the female ghost was determined to eliminate us.

The master and the female ghost fought fiercely for a time, neither able to gain the upper hand.

Their figures flickered in the misty, yin energy, and golden light swirled around their master, likely the protective secret technique he had mentioned before, the "Golden Light Mantra!"

This spell can withstand any external injury, and its effectiveness varies greatly as one's physical condition and spiritual level improve!

I could see that my master was sweating, but his eyes never left the female ghost for even a moment!

The female ghost's hair flew wildly, and her eyes were filled with hatred and pain.

However, the master did not give the female ghost a chance to breathe!

The master made hand seals and chanted incantations, and a golden light streaked across the sky like a shooting star!

The next instant, the copper coin sword was in the master's hand, gleaming with golden light in the darkness!

The master's swordsmanship was like a ghost, making it impossible for the female ghost to grasp. She could only retreat repeatedly, seemingly unable to withstand the master's frenzied attacks!

The battle grew increasingly fierce. Although the master kept attacking, he was unable to quickly defeat the female ghost.

The female ghost was probably enraged; she waved her sleeve, releasing a large amount of yin energy in an instant!

The two attacked more and more fiercely, and the pressure on the master also increased.

I clenched my fists and stared intently at the female ghost, feeling extremely anxious!

But I know I can't go out. If I do, my master will be distracted, and I could very well become their hostage.

Throughout history, there have been countless stories of characters being captured by villains and used to threaten the protagonist because of their stupid teammates. Naturally, I can tell which side is more important.

I don't have the strength to fight against the thousand-year-old female ghost right now. Not causing trouble for my master and the others is the greatest support I can give them!

Wu Shi took out a medicine bottle from his waist and swallowed it in one gulp. At this moment, I could see the yin energy on Wu Shi's body gradually dissipating.

It seems that the female ghost did indeed injure Wu Shi just now.

I stood there, feeling a little worried, and the sense of helplessness at being unable to help intensified.

Wu Shi stood up and slowly took out a talisman from his pocket:

"Slay the demons and monsters, and all ghosts will perish!"

"Heavenly Soldiers Suppressing Spirit Talisman, by imperial decree!"

The talisman shot out, heading straight towards the female ghost.

The female ghost was fighting her master and didn't have much energy to pay attention to what was behind her.

The Heavenly Soldier Suppressing Talisman appeared immediately upon reaching the female ghost's side.

A burly celestial soldier phantom appeared, holding two enormous bronze hammers that seemed to weigh a ton!

The moment the celestial soldier phantom appeared, it saw the female ghost with dense yin energy, raised its hands high, and slammed down the two copper hammers heavily!

The female ghost stared in terror behind her, her eyes wide open.

Seeing the bronze hammer already crashing down, it was too late to run, so he could only pull out an arm to block it.
