Chapter 192 Damn it! We must stop the witch from offering sacrifices to the lake!
Coming to Xianyuan Village again, everyone looked at the ancient village in front of them, and for some reason they felt a chill on their backs.
"Okay, let go. I don't want you to wash my clothes!" The dispute at the entrance of the village attracted everyone's attention.
The thin old lady let go with a bitter face. The woman who spoke was probably her daughter, who was dressed exquisitely and appropriately. She carried the basin to the lake with an impatient look on her face.
"Auntie Lian, if Miaomiao wants to wash, just let her wash, and you can enjoy a peaceful life."
Sister Hong was watching the excitement from the side with a gloating look on her face. When she turned around and saw Mingzhuo, she was immediately furious.
"Well, you are finally here! Why did you scare my son with those dirty things!"
Ming Zhuo: "When did I scare your son?"
"Don't play dumb! Your companions have told me, it must be you who did it! You are still a teacher, be careful or I will report you!"
Ming Zhuo understood as soon as she saw this, it was the people who stayed in the village who stabbed her in the back. She
even told the other party that she could report it, this is to make her suffer.
In this case, she might as well admit it: "Yes, I did it. This time is just a lesson, next time it may not be the same."
Sister Hong was simply unbelievable: "You are still threatening me? You are a monk, why don't you go catch ghosts, but come to scare ordinary people? Is there any law?"
Zhuang Xun coughed softly beside her, reminding Ming Zhuo to take it easy.
If she was really complained, Mingzhuo's career as a teacher would be over, the impact would be too bad.
Mingzhuo didn't care about him. If she wanted to make her suffer, no way!
"First, I'm not a monk; second, I am the law. No matter if you are a human or a ghost, I will punish you if you dare to make trouble in front of me."
Sister Hong almost fainted. She had never seen such an unreasonable person!
"Teacher Ruan, you are here." The village chief came from the village in a hurry.
His expression was relatively calm, but the people behind him were obviously not in a good mood and looked at them with hostility.
"If not them,
then who else could it be?" "Only a few of them entered the village yesterday, it couldn't be someone else."
The village chief hesitated for a moment: "Teacher Ruan, have you been to the ancestral hall?"
Fang Linxiao, who hurried over, immediately broke out in a cold sweat. This group of people had just asked Shen Boyuan and his friends the same question.
Ming Zhuoguo shook her head repeatedly, "No." After a pause, she asked in confusion, "What's wrong? What happened?"
The village chief's eyes fell on the bag in her hand, which contained buns, pancakes, fried dough sticks, soy milk... This was a lazy, greedy, and unhardworking little girl.
The smile on his face became kinder: "Nothing, where are you going? I'll have someone take you there."
Ming Zhuo said that he still had work to do and had to take the trainees to the village to exorcise evil spirits. The village chief didn't even send anyone when he heard that.
Fang Linxiao just stared in amazement at Ming Zhuo's trickery and left in a swagger.
This is really a lie without blinking an eye, an actress-level acting!
He followed Ming Zhuo, feeling a little guilty, "Isn't it a bit bad for us to lie to the village chief like this?"
Ming Zhuo gave him a meaningful look: "Do you think the village chief is a good person?"
"Of course." Fang Linxiao said without hesitation.
Ming Zhuo: "It seems that you gained a lot from following Assistant Professor Shen last night."
Fang Linxiao hurriedly said: "Teacher Ruan, I still admire you, but I am afraid that our investigation direction is wrong this time. The evil spirit is someone else."
The two of them got a little close, and Ming Zhuo suddenly frowned, "Did you eat fish this morning?"
Fang Linxiao was stunned for a moment, "I just tasted a mouthful of fish noodles."
Because Ming Zhuo's performance made him suspect that there was something wrong with the fish, he didn't dare to eat it last night, but when he had breakfast today, Chu Yuqi strongly recommended it, so he didn't make an exception and ate a mouthful.
What is Teacher Ruan's nose made of? Can it smell this?
Fang Linxiao was a little worried: "Is there really a problem with the fish? No, but the evil spirit is not in the lake, but in the pond behind the village. Teacher Shen and the others have already rushed to exorcise the evil spirit."
-
On the other side, Chu Yuqi stopped somewhere with a compass, "Here."
The small pond behind the village was full of garbage and stank. Shen Boyuan always felt that he had to take a few more breaths until his entire nose and mouth were filled with the stench.
He led the other two students to start the formation.
When the yang energy is at its peak at noon, they can open the coffin and take out the body to dispel the evil spirit.
A few drops of water fell on his face, and Shen Boyuan looked up at the sky. It was raining.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, with no sign of stopping. Even though it was morning, it was as heavy as evening.
The yang energy is declining in this weather, which is obviously not conducive to exterminating the corpse demon.
But they spent a lot of effort last night to force the evil ghost out of the small house where it lived. They finally found the location of its real body. How can they give up so easily?
Staying one more night will increase the danger. Besides, he doesn't want Ming Zhuo to steal the credit.
Chu Yuqi suddenly remembered something, "Oh no! We have to stop the witch from offering sacrifices to the lake!"
Ji Yong was hanging in the air the whole time. Hearing this, he suddenly became nervous, "Will there be any problem with offering sacrifices to the lake? But this is a custom in the village that has been passed down for thousands of years."
"There's nothing wrong with offering sacrifices to the lake, but I'm always worried that something will go wrong." Chu Yuqi shook his head.
She remembered that in the plot, a villager suspected that his son who drowned years ago had not been reincarnated, so he hired a sorcerer to sacrifice a living person as a scapegoat for his son.
This matter also disturbed the protagonist's vision and took a lot of detours, so she didn't intend to pay attention to it from the beginning.
However, the child could be saved. The other party's family was very rich, and she could sell a favor to the other party.
"Senior sister, please go and run a trip for me. I saw that the sacrificial items were all packed in big boxes, and I was worried that a child would climb in by mistake."
She couldn't help but praise her high emotional intelligence. Saying this not only saved people, but also avoided conflicts with the villagers.
Shen Boyuan nodded: "Yuqi's intuition has always been accurate, Pi Qianqian, you should go there quickly."
Pi Qianqian knew that she was of no use, so she nodded and hurried towards the other end of the village.
This place is far from Chengxian Lake. It takes 20 minutes to run there. She dared not waste time.
Perhaps she ran too fast, her feet slipped, and she fell heavily. Blood instantly seeped out of her knees.
It hurt so much. She found that she couldn't stand up at all. She was so anxious that she almost cried.
Suddenly a person appeared in her field of vision. She was surprised. Great, there is salvation!
——The
weather is not good today, but the bottom of Wangxian Terrace is still full of people.
Lake Festival is a thousand-year-old tradition of Xianyuan Village. Today is the day of the lake festival, and everyone came to watch the excitement.
There are incense tables and various offerings on the Wangxian Terrace. The witch wears a solemn sacrificial costume and mutters something. The tone is like some ancient language with a strange rhythm.
Fang Linxiao was watching with great interest, but soon drew his attention back.
Wasn't it inappropriate for them to stay here and watch the excitement instead of rushing over to help?
"Teacher Ruan, should we leave?" He could only gently remind the people who were watching the excitement with great interest.
Ming Zhuo shook his head and said, "No, I haven't watched the lake festival yet. It's so fun. I love watching it."
A group of villagers came over carrying freshly slaughtered animals. The smell of blood instantly spread, making people feel uncomfortable rationally.
