The same tactic was also used on Hu Shengnan.
She jumped from Wangxiantai, and was supposed to follow the water to this cave, becoming food for a thousand-year-old evil spirit.
They accidentally fell to the bottom of the lake and were unable to escape due to the magic array on the lake.
The Taoist priest sensed her resentment, forcibly summoned her, and retrieved her body.
Then, they drove six Soul-Devouring Nails into her corpse and threw it into the lake.
The Soul-Eating Nail is extremely vicious. The soul will feel excruciating pain day and night, and will not be able to escape without reincarnation. Over time, the female ghost will probably become a completely mindless demon.
Both of these are extremely vicious evil arts. What exactly did that Taoist priest intend to do?
Mingzhuo raised his eyes and glanced at Chengxian Lake in the distance. "You might as well ask why the corpses in this lake are sinking and cannot rise."
As a local, Ji Yong had done his homework and knew some of the legends.
"Actually, this place wasn't originally called Chengxian Lake, but Chenxian Lake. It's said that an immortal sank here and protected the local people. Later generations probably thought the word 'Chen' sounded bad and was unlucky, so they changed it to Cheng. The fish in this lake taste delicious because the bottom of the lake is connected to a cold pool that is hundreds of meters deep, which is why the bodies of immortals can't rise from the depths."
Zhuang Xun frowned: "So that evil cultivator deliberately sank Hu Shengnan's body into the icy pool? What should we do then?"
He had originally thought about whether he could find a professional fishing team to help, but now it seems that this approach is not feasible.
After the question was asked, everyone fell silent.
Even if the matter is reported to the organizers, the entire Xuanmen sect would probably be helpless in dealing with this situation.
He Wangyao thought for a moment and said, "Won't the organizers deduct points for this?"
It seems the question was asking them to find out about Xianhu Lake. Now they've found the answer, but they can't solve the problem.
"Probably not, after all, this is far beyond what's required, the organizers wouldn't be so heartless," Fang Linxiao said confidently.
Just kidding, even if the organizers' top executives came in person, it wouldn't make a difference.
Mingzhuo yawned. "We'll talk about it later. We should head out."
As they reached the village entrance, several police cars pulled up.
Mingzhuo glanced at the luxury car at the front, and the license plate number looked very familiar. Sure enough, the car door opened soon, and a little girl of five or six years old got out of the car.
"Duoduo, husband!" Hu Miao carried the sleeping Niu Niu over.
The man who got out of the car quickly stepped forward and hugged the mother and daughter tightly.
Sensing the adults' emotional fluctuations, Niu Niu pouted and burst into tears, feeling wronged.
Duoduo started crying too, calling out to her little sister not to be afraid. She was too small to reach her sister, and she was so anxious that she kept running around in circles.
The man simply picked up his eldest daughter as well, and the four of them hugged each other and cried.
Hu Shengnan's figure was hidden in the shadows, smiling as she watched the scene before her. The blood hole between her eyebrows seemed to have stopped bleeding.
That's wonderful, someone has fulfilled her dream.
This world gave her the most painful despair, yet it also allowed her to see the ever-renewing hope.
She smiled and said goodbye to everyone before her figure slowly sank to the bottom of the lake.
Hu Miao noticed that someone was watching her, and she wiped away her tears in embarrassment before bringing her husband over to see Ming Zhuo.
Although Mingzhuo was much younger than her, she subconsciously adopted the respectful attitude one would show to an elder, saying, "Master, this is my husband, Zhang Long."
Ji Yong felt the name sounded familiar, but couldn't quite place where he had heard it before.
The police came again; it was Hu Miao who had called the police.
When the villagers discovered that the village chief and others had been beaten, they were all filled with righteous indignation and gathered their men to arrest Mingzhuo and his group.
They may not know what kind of monster lives in the ancestral hall, but in their eagerness to have a son, they have become obsessed with it and have long since gone mad.
Moving the ancestral hall is to move the very foundation of Xianyuan Village, so of course it cannot be let go.
Seeing that something was wrong, Hu Miao immediately called the police. Zhang Long happened to be in town and came over with him.
Hu Miao's two younger brothers glared at her angrily. "If you don't want to be left without your family's support, you'd better get the police to release us right now."
"You're so heartless to your family; you'll be the one crying later!"
"The reason Mom dared to hurt Niu Niu is because your in-laws disliked you for having two girls!"
"Shut up!" Zhang Long couldn't stand it anymore. When had his family ever looked down on the two girls? This was all nonsense!
Hu Miao stepped forward and slapped her younger brother hard across the face.
"You think everyone is like you? You're all animals!"
The old lady keeps saying it's for her sake, and she still doesn't think she's done anything wrong. Who will inherit the Zhang family's huge fortune? She's helping them.
The reason the other party was so bold was simply because they had been praised to the skies during their time in the city.
Her husband and in-laws are all very kind people. They kept advising her to let go of her resentment, saying that the old lady is getting on in years and it's not easy for her. What mother and daughter could hold a grudge overnight?
They say that everyone has their limitations, and the more you understand, the more tolerant you should be.
The result of their tolerance was that they brought the old lady to the city and took good care of her, but the old lady took advantage of their kindness.
She'll either say you're not even letting her into the kitchen, implying you're trying to get rid of her; or if you actually let her into the kitchen to help, she'll say you're treating her like a servant.
Hu Miao watched her in-laws and husband being careful every day, while she coldly observed their antics. Several times she almost lost her temper, but her in-laws and husband persuaded her to stop.
She looked at her two younger brothers with a cold smile, "You instigated the old lady to have Zhang Long donate money to the village, did you think we were stingy because we never contributed? Do you know why someone suddenly became willing to invest in the Xianyuan Village tourism project?"
Ji Yong finally remembered, slapping his forehead, "I knew this name sounded familiar, isn't that an investor's name?"
Hu Miao's two younger brothers looked at her in disbelief.
They knew their brother-in-law's family was wealthy; the old lady had mentioned living in a big house, but they never imagined they were actually that rich!
“You almost succeeded,” Zhang Long said. “Anyway, my family has a lot of money, and it would be good to invest and give back to my hometown.” During this period, I was in Xianyuan Village, while he took Duoduo to investigate nearby areas and talk to the county about cooperation.
Zhang Long's voice was low and deep: "I cannot forgive you for harming my daughter. All our assets will belong to our two daughters in the future. I am not investing!"
He and his wife worked hard to build their business from scratch. If they don't leave it to their two daughters, who will they leave it to?
He was utterly disappointed in his mother-in-law and two younger brothers.
The two usually domineering younger brothers were dumbfounded. They never imagined that their only chance to make money would be ruined by them.
The other villagers were also bewildered. Had they known it would be like this, they would have tried their best to curry favor with Hu Miao.
They wouldn't dare to mock her behind her back for having two daughters, saying she wasn't blessed.
It's too late to regret it now; they've lost everything, and many of them might even be detained.
Now that things had come to this point, the basic situation was quite clear. Suddenly, Chu Yuqi felt a fishy, foul smell spreading from her throat all the way to her mouth and nose.
“There’s something wrong with the fish, isn’t there!” She wasn’t stupid; she immediately figured out the key point.
