Chapter 340
Qing He is not the mastermind behind all this, the real planner is the provincial
Watching Qing He die, the ghost girl breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.
Qing He was not the mastermind behind all this; the Stone Man was the real planner. The female ghost knew this, but it couldn't hide Qing He's malice towards her.
If Qinghe had not developed an abnormal love for her brother, nothing would have happened afterwards. It can be said that Qinghe was the root cause of all this and the main cause of the female ghost's tragic experience.
The ghost looked at her mutilated corpse, feeling a surge of relief. Your beloved brother had died at the hands of the stone man. Your supposed love for him was a deception, and even you, ultimately, perished at the hands of this monstrous creature.
Is there anything else that can better prove the saying "God's justice is clear and retribution will come" than Qinghe's experience?
The female ghost let out a long howl towards the sky, as if expressing the grief and anger in her heart. After the howl, her figure slowly dissipated into the air.
"She, why is she gone?" Uncle Zhang asked stutteringly.
"Once the obsession is satisfied, the ghost will naturally cease to exist." Lin Qingyang said lightly.
Lin Qingyang quite admired this female ghost. Her spirit of dragging others to death together even in desperate situations was quite consistent with his requirements for his subordinates.
If the female ghost had not disappeared, he would really like to gather people together and ask them to help him.
Wait? Why would he have such an idea?
Lin Qingyang was stunned for a moment, touching his chin thoughtfully.
Could it be that before he lost his memory, he was actually the leader of some force?
But soon, he put it behind his mind and stared at Cheng Hui seriously.
The Stone Man is about to die.
The red stone Cheng Hui stared at was the Stone Man's true form. He was a stone spirit. During a quarrel between two villagers, one of them used this stone to crush the other to death. At the time, he had already begun to develop a spirituality. After being baptized by blood, his spirituality increased dramatically, and he fell in love with the feeling of drinking blood.
The red skin of this stone is a reflection of being soaked in blood over the years. It has tempted countless people to commit blood sacrifices, and Qinghe is just one of them.
The Stone Man once commented that Qinghe was selfish, and he himself was no different. When he realized that his true body was threatened, the first thing he thought of was to escape.
However, the previous experience of being beaten by Cheng Hui proved that he could not escape without external help, so he gritted his teeth and shrunk the red stone by one third, and countless fine powders sprayed out. Cheng Hui reflexively held his breath.
"Get out of the way!"
After waiting for a while, Cheng Hui didn't feel any discomfort and looked at the stone man in confusion.
Is this a trick they're using to confuse me? Making me paranoid and unable to give my all?
After receiving Cheng Hui's reminder, Lin Qingyang and Uncle Zhang hid far away and watched for a while. They did not notice any changes, but instead they keenly noticed that there seemed to be heavy footsteps coming from behind them.
When the two looked back, Uncle Zhang was frightened again.
The mutated villagers in the village were walking towards them with heavy steps.
Most of them had dull expressions. Some of them had long snake necks, their heads coiled and their faces looked terrified. Others had all their facial features gone, leaving only a big mouth that could move around various parts of the body.
Uncle Zhang didn't know that these strange-looking creatures were essentially cowards and would run away if they were slightly scared. When he saw so many monsters, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Lin Qingyang glared at him with disdain. He couldn't just throw someone he had saved onto the street. Although the curious villagers were timid and would run away if threatened, they wouldn't necessarily refuse such a free buffet.
He dragged Uncle Zhang to a small courtyard on the side of the road. The owner of the courtyard... was probably already in the crowd.
The room was empty, so Lin Qingyang threw Uncle Zhang into the room and locked the door.
Now, all things that could pose a threat to him have been gathered in the village square, which is very safe. If Uncle Zhang still gets into trouble, he can only blame his bad luck.
Back in the square, Lin Qingyang noticed that Cheng Hui seemed a little restrained.
After observing for a while, he found that the reason why Cheng Hui was restrained was these villagers with strange looks.
The stone man called the villagers over and originally wanted to besiege Cheng Hui. However, the attack power of these exotic creatures was really not that good. The stone man almost vomited blood when he saw it.
The ghost girl's move was really cruel. She used the energy of the stone man to create these monsters. Each of them had skill points in eavesdropping and gossip. They had weak combat capabilities. Apart from their scary looks, any seven or eight-year-old child who dared to pick up a stick could beat them and make them flee in embarrassment.
Such helpers... are almost the same as having none. It's just that Cheng Hui is still afraid of the villagers and doesn't dare to be ruthless. Otherwise, all these villagers combined would not be enough for Cheng Hui to kill.
The stone man also discovered this, so he simply gave up the idea of siege and instead used these villagers as shields.
As a result, Cheng Hui's attack was immediately restricted, giving the Stone Man a chance to catch his breath.
林青阳啧了一声,左右看了看,找了个棍子,开始挨个揍那些村民。
There was no abnormality, just a dull look. The person was knocked unconscious and dragged to a house nearby.
The remaining ones with mutations are even simpler to deal with. Just hold up a stick and scare them, and they will all run away.
Controlled by the stone man, they didn't dare to run too far, but Lin Qingyang was just standing near the exhibition hall, holding a stick as thick as his forearm in his hand, so they didn't dare to get close to the battlefield either.
There were clearly nearly a hundred people, but they were blocked outside the battlefield by Lin Qingyang alone. They could only look at the stone man pitifully, as if to say: they were also powerless.
Stone Man: ...
The Stone Man was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
If he could take back the energy he sent out, his strength could be doubled.
But what is the result?
Instead of raising any heirs, they raised a bunch of useless trash who can't help at all and don't even have the thought of being loyal to their master. They are simply trash!
The stone man could only barely catch his breath after being pulled by the villagers, but Cheng Hui soon seized the opportunity and completely destroyed the red stone.
The red stone shattered, and the surrounding stones also shattered and scattered all over the ground.
Cheng Hui thought about it and was worried that the Stone Man would fake his death again, so he simply called out the Red Lotus Karma Fire and burned the remaining remains of the Stone Man to ashes.
The stone man in the true and false death had a thousand MMPs to say in his heart, but in the end, he just let out a scream and completely disappeared.
"It was indeed a fake death." Cheng Hui breathed a sigh of relief. These monsters were all very good at hiding. Fortunately, he was used to cleaning up the mess, otherwise he would have really gotten away.
"Qingyang, are you okay?" As soon as Cheng Hui finished the fight, he immediately ran to Lin Qingyang, looked him up and down, and didn't see any obvious injuries, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm fine." Lin Qingyang shook his head happily, enjoying Cheng Hui's concern.
"I'm glad you're okay. Now...what should we do?" Cheng Hui scratched his head in distress.
The culprit and the mastermind have been dealt with, but no one knows what to do with the mutated villagers all over the ground.
Cheng Hui looked at those "monsters" who were afraid to move forward in distress. If he killed them, they didn't seem to have done anything bad, or they didn't have time to do it; if he kept them... he always felt that this would actually leave a hidden danger.
"Qingyang, do you have any good ideas?" Cheng Hui pointed at the villagers and looked at Lin Qingyang for help.
Lin Qingyang raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you notice that there are a few people missing here?"
Cheng Hui:?
Wait a minute, it seems like there are really few people.
Cheng Hui looked around suspiciously. The village chief and his family were all dead, lying neatly on one side of the square. Uncle Zhang was sent to a house by Lin Qingyang and was still unconscious.
The villagers were also knocked unconscious or huddled together. There were so many of them that it seemed like they had all arrived at a glance.
The only thing missing...
"Where is Zhengxing? And where is his master? Aren't these two Taoist priests? Such a big thing happened in the village, it's impossible for them to be unaware of it."
Lin Qingyang pulled the corner of his mouth and said loudly: "Are you still unwilling to come out?"
"well……"
Cheng Hui heard a long sigh, and then two figures, one tall and one short, slowly walked out from the darkness at the street corner.
This was the first time Cheng Hui met Taoist Master Ciyun. Before this, he had always been mentioned by others.
When they met on the first day of the new year, Cheng Hui immediately understood why the village chief and his family had invited Taoist Priest Ciyun back. This Taoist priest's appearance was absolutely in line with the description of a master who had attained the Dao.
He was wearing a green Taoist robe, with his hair tied up in a bun on his head. He was of medium height, with two long white eyebrows hanging down and a long beard. He was definitely a Taoist priest with profound cultivation.
The little Taoist boy Zhengxing was following his master obediently at this time. He looked terrified and his eyes were fixed on the ground in front of him. He didn't dare to look around at all, for fear of seeing the villagers.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! I am honored to meet you." The old Taoist bowed his head and saluted.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Although the old Taoist priest was also very suspicious, Cheng Hui and Lin Qingyang still returned the greeting.
"Thank you both for your help in eliminating the demons and monsters. If it weren't for you two, I'm afraid my master and I would still be kept in the dark." The old Taoist priest said slowly.
"Kept in the dark? Not necessarily..." Lin Qingyang chuckled.
The old Taoist priest smiled but said nothing, as if he didn't hear what Lin Qingyang said.
Cheng Hui also came to his senses. Why was the female ghost so deformed? The village chief's family certainly didn't want her to come back for revenge, and the stone man certainly didn't want her to come back for revenge. The only people who were in a position to help the female ghost, besides the two of them, were the master and apprentice.
The prerequisite for them to help the female ghost is that they must know the truth about her expression.
To sum up, this old Taoist priest is not honest at all. He clearly knows all the truth, but he just hides behind the scenes and watches, letting the two of them fight to the death.
"The Taoist priest is very unkind... How can a monk watch someone die without helping?" Lin Qingyang said quietly.
The old Taoist priest said to Wuliang Tianzun: "I am old now, so it is better to leave things like fighting and killing to you."
"Really?" Lin Qingyang rolled his eyes. "Isn't it... that you can't be exposed in front of others?"
The old Taoist's pupils shrank slightly, then returned to normal. He smiled and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about. We are just a pair of helpless master and disciple."
