Chapter 163 Cao Nan Village
The entrance to Caonan Village.
Yu Bingyue and her group finally found the place in the dark. From a distance, they could see three characters hanging on the two large gates at the entrance of the village.
In the darkness, the three red characters were very conspicuous, and the group could see them from a mile away.
At that time, You Bingyue was standing next to Ouyang Shuo, and Du Ziheng was on the other side.
Du Ziheng frowned as he looked at the plaque, feeling uneasy just from looking at it. He said, "It's getting late, why don't we come back tomorrow?"
He always kept Yu Zhiyi's words in mind: this was a place of great misfortune, and Ouyang Shuo would suffer a bloody disaster.
Moreover, once Ouyang Shuo draws blood, the evil spirits in the village will become much stronger.
Yu Bingyue's face, which had been beaming with joy at reaching her destination, instantly darkened: "If Young Master Du is afraid, he doesn't have to come."
She finally found a track where she could compete with Yu Zhiyi, how could she possibly give up?
If she can solve the murder case in Caonan Village thirty years ago and get rid of the female ghost there, she will become famous throughout the world.
Unlike Yu Zhiyi, who is a charlatan who exposes people's shortcomings with just words, she helps people solve problems by taking action and using her brain, not by some ridiculous mystic arts!
But this Du Ziheng...
She was initially happy when she learned this morning that he had taken a few days off and applied to leave Beijing with them.
Now it seems that he didn't come for her at all, but to stop her!
The expressions of the others also turned somewhat unfriendly.
Li Changhuai tapped his palm lightly with his folding fan, a smile on his face, but his words were not pleasant to hear: "Brother Youlin is probably still thinking about the ominous rumors about Madam Du, and he must be afraid."
Prince Liu Feiyang of Yunnan was a man who loved to join in the fun, and there had been too many interesting things happening in the past few days.
Firstly, there's the love triangle between Yu Zhiyi, Du Ziheng, and You Bingyue; secondly, there's the truth behind the female ghost case in Caonan Village thirty years ago.
He chuckled and said, "Brother Youlin, there's no need to worry. All five of us are skilled in martial arts, and Young Master Ouyang is the chief disciple of Longhu Mountain. Slaying demons and monsters is a piece of cake for us. Even if there are any evil spirits here, Young Master Ouyang can easily eliminate them."
You Bingyue crossed her arms and said coldly, "If Young Master Du is afraid, then go back first." She then gave a mocking smile, "If I'm not mistaken, Young Madam Du should be here soon. Since you trust her more, then wait for her here. She is all-powerful and can naturally protect you."
"Bingyue!" Du Ziheng said wearily, "This is not the time to be stubborn. This is a matter of life and death..."
Ouyang Shuo looked at him expressionlessly: "Young Master Du, are you looking down on me, or on Longhu Mountain?"
Du Ziheng: "...None of those are true."
Ouyang Shuo sneered: "If that's not the case, then shut up."
Du Ziheng naturally couldn't shut up: "Even if we have to go in, there's no need to rush, is there? It's already late, we can come back tomorrow during the day."
Ouyang Shuo's sarcasm deepened: "Young Master Du, an outsider shouldn't try to instruct an expert. During the day, when the yang energy is at its peak, yin spirits will hide. But if what happened thirty years ago really was the work of a female ghost, what's the point of investigating if we wait until it hides before coming in?"
Du Ziheng could only watch helplessly as the four people stepped into the village.
He touched a spot on his chest, thought of the amulet inside, gritted his teeth, and followed it inside.
Unbeknownst to them, after they entered Caonan Village, the already deep night became even darker, as black as ink.
A black vortex suddenly appeared in the sky above the village, like a monster lurking silently, ready to strike with its sharp claws at any moment.
Yu Zhiyi hurried along, but still didn't encounter many people at the village entrance, so she knew she was too late.
Several familiar auras lingered at the village entrance; they were none other than the three strangers she had met at Du Ziheng's place the previous night, as well as You Bingyue and Du Ziheng.
Her face darkened.
I thought there would only be three people, but two more came to watch the fun.
She was so angry she almost laughed.
Is this kind of excitement really that appealing?
If you're not careful, you might become part of the spectacle and stay here forever!
She looked up at the three characters "Cao Nan Village" that were so red they looked like they could drip blood, then stepped inside.
As soon as they got close, countless streams of malevolent energy rushed in from all directions.
However, before these things could get within a meter of Yu Zhiyi, they were blocked by an invisible golden light.
Amidst the flashing golden light, the Yin energy, like water droplets falling onto a scalding vessel, hissed and instantly turned into white smoke, dissipating into the world.
Yu Zhiyi raised an eyebrow.
She hasn't even made a move yet.
He seemed to be deep in thought at the same time.
The golden light of merit is indeed a good thing. People protected by the power of merit are not only immune to ordinary evil spirits, but also automatically avoid the malevolent energy of this century-old evil.
Although she was surrounded by the golden light of merit, Yu Zhiyi did not let her guard down. She took out a copper coin and divined for a while before setting off in one direction.
Suddenly, her expression changed.
There are people ahead.
An old man walked over with stiff steps.
Although his steps were stiff, his speed was not slow.
Before long, she arrived in front of Yu Zhiyi, looked up and revealed a pale and aged face: "Outsider, what brings you to our Caonan Village?"
Yu Zhiyi glanced indifferently at the empty ground beneath the old man's feet, then raised her eyes and said calmly, "I came out for a trip with some friends, but we got separated on the way. I wanted to ask if they had come to this village?"
"Oh, so you're here to visit a friend."
The old woman reached out to pat Yu Zhiyi's shoulder, but as soon as she did, she hissed and pulled her hand back as if she had touched hot water, her expression twisting for a moment.
She suddenly flew into a rage: "Get out! You're not welcome in Caonan Village!"
Yu Zhiyi touched his nose, controlled the golden light of merit to enter his body, and then patted the old woman's shoulder: "Don't worry, ma'am, we won't eat and drink for free, we will pay you. Besides, we're only staying for one night, we'll leave tomorrow."
The old woman stared blankly at the hand that landed on her shoulder, a hint of confusion appearing in her vacant eyes.
After a moment, she nodded: "Alright, then you can stay."
His face immediately darkened, and he warned in a sinister tone, "But I must remind you, don't wander around or look around aimlessly. No matter what you hear at night, don't go out."
"good."
Just as the old woman turned around, Yu Zhiyi suddenly asked, "By the way, Auntie, I heard there's a river at the entrance of Caonan Village, but why haven't I seen it along the way?"
The old woman's face, which had just calmed down, instantly turned into a frenzy on the right: "What nonsense! There's no river in our village! No river!"
