Chapter 61 I'm so smart now
There was a long silence.
Uncle Chen's body began to shrivel.
A fluorescent spirit gradually emerged.
The spirit has no face, and even a basic human shape is hard to discern. Half of its body is stained with resentment.
It was Xiaorong who had transformed into an earthbound spirit.
After death, they are formed due to resentment. If the resentment is not eliminated, they can only be trapped in the place where they died and wait for their spiritual intelligence to dissipate, and then they can slaughter everything indiscriminately.
"I thought no one cared," she said.
Her voice was as light as a butterfly's wing, yet it carried a tremendous force.
Her father strangled her to death for money, and the sorcerer used her to weave lies.
Everyone thought it was a trick of the river god and she was just one of the unfortunate victims.
No one knew that the person who killed Xiaorong was her father who loved her the most in front of everyone.
"I care." Ye Xingzhou untied the rope that bound him and said word by word.
"Because of you, I was able to find the real murderer."
The Earthbound Spirit's fluorescence was fluctuating.
Ye Xingzhou continued, "That day, I asked Junior Brother Ren to go to Qingshui Town to inquire about Mr. Liu's news."
"Mr. Liu was lustful and lewd. He beat three concubines to death and filled his house with a foul smell."
"My junior brother went to ask the neighbors who lived close to the village chief's house. The neighbors said that they often heard the village chief beating your mother."
"How could such a scumbag suddenly have a change of heart and go crazy for a woman?"
"The warlock's actions against you were simply because he discovered your identity and wanted to use me to kill you."
"The warlock is too conceited about his own abilities, and he won't curb his greed."
"He took the initiative to tell me about the Moon-Watching Eel, asking me to kill you and the Moon-Watching Eel, killing two birds with one stone."
"So I put on a show, pretending to follow the path laid out by the sorcerer, and worked with my junior brother to kill the Moon-gazing Eel first."
Having said that, Ye Xingzhou felt dry in the mouth and drank another cup of tea.
"How could Li Erzhuang be the Moon-gazing Eel?" Xiao Rong asked.
She didn't expect that Li Erzhuang would be the Moon-gazing Eel.
Ye Xingzhou was not impatient and explained, "It's very simple. The Moon-gazing Eel actually has thirteen skins, one for the river god and twelve for the river god's children."
"Except for the two it killed, the Moon-gazing Eel only vomited ten. It was trying to escape, so I pretended not to know. My junior brother and I carried the bodies and loudly informed the villagers that the Moon-gazing Eel was dead."
"Once the Moon-Watching Eel lets down its guard, it will definitely come looking for the warlock who backstabbed it, and then my junior brother and I will set up an ambush and capture it in one fell swoop."
After hearing this, Xiaorong let out a breath.
The accumulated resentment gradually dissipated.
"One last question, how did you guess that I borrowed Uncle Chen's body?"
"I didn't guess that. I thought you were also a monster who wanted to share a piece of the pie." Ye Xingzhou pointed honestly at the Immortal Binding Rope on the ground, "So, I used the Immortal Binding Rope to tie you up at the beginning."
"Then why are you letting me go now?" Xiao Rong was puzzled.
The truth has been revealed, shouldn't the current step be to convert her?
Why was the rope that bound the immortals untied?
"You don't want revenge?"
"I do, but--" Shouldn't you advise me to let go of my obsession and go to the afterlife?
Ye Xingzhou interrupted her directly, "Then go and get revenge."
Ye Xingzhou sat down on the chair, took out a handful of melon seeds from his storage bag and started eating them.
"Revenge feels good only when you do it yourself!"
Ye Xingzhou's resentment is even greater than that of Xiaorong, the person involved!
If Xiaorong didn't move her hand, Ye Xingzhou would feel uncomfortable all over.
"Why should you let go of your hatred when the truth is finally revealed, even though you've suffered so much and even lost your life?"
Xiao Rong was stunned, "Yeah, why?"
"Go ahead. The sorcerer is probably half dead by now. If you go too late, he will be killed by my junior brother."
Ye Xingzhou walked out while eating melon seeds.
Xiaorong once again possessed Uncle Chen's body, picked up a hoe and rushed out of the yard.
"You old bitch! Take this hoe from your mother!"
Uncle Chen looked like a zombie, carrying a hoe with a menacing look, so Meng Zhi decisively moved aside.
When the hoe struck the sorcerer, he was still half dead.
This time it’s okay, because of Xiaorong’s kind help, he only has one breath left.
The warlock widened his eyes and looked at Xiaorong in disbelief.
“You, you…”
"I'm your grandma!"
Xiao Rong swung the hoe and attacked wildly.
How could Meng Zhi bear to see the sorcerer die like this, so he injected a trace of spiritual energy to protect the sorcerer's heart meridian.
While Ye Xingzhou was out, he asked the villagers to come over, including some of the villagers whose children had been sacrificed previously.
"Revenge is needed! The man on the ground is a sorcerer! If you want to take action, do it quickly, or you will die first."
As soon as Ye Xingzhou finished shouting, the crowd rushed forward.
"Oh, oh, oh! Old man, let me borrow your hoe first!"
"Brother Li, I haven't hit you yet! Stop pushing! Hit me first!"
"Help my girl beat this black-hearted bastard to death!"
After receiving the love and care from the villagers, the sorcerer finally died contentedly.
The Moon-gazing Eel died before Xiao Rongshang could eat it with his hoe because it ate too much feces.
Xiao Rong had no choice but to take a step back and chop the body into meat paste with a machete.
The truth is revealed to the public.
The dead rest in the earth.
Xiaorong used Uncle Chen's body to walk to the hilltop, dug a hole, and lay down in it.
Before her spirit dissipated, she kowtowed three times to Uncle Chen's body.
She turned around, her whole body emitting fluorescent light, without a trace of resentment.
"Please, two benefactors, help me bury Uncle Chen."
"Okay." Ye Xingzhou agreed readily.
The setting sun disappears behind the mountains.
It should be the cold season of late autumn, when leaves are falling.
A flock of fireflies appeared on the top of the mountain.
Flying around the newly built graves.
Ye Xingzhou lit incense at several new graves.
The road to rebirth is smooth and easy.
Meng Zhi stood quietly by, watching Ye Xingzhou's movements without urging him.
He said this until Ye Xingzhou finished burning incense at the last grave.
"Little Junior Brother, let's go down the mountain."
"Um."
Fluorescent green stars lit up the way back to the village.
Meng Zhi's gaze moved and gently fell on the person beside him.
There was a firefly on his red headband, shining brightly.
A pair of eyes, filled with stars.
Meng Zhi raised his hand unconsciously.
He wanted to take the firefly off his headband.
Before the hand fell, Ye Xingzhou dodged nimbly.
"Hey, Junior Brother, don't even think about attacking me again."
"I'm really smart now. As soon as you raise your hand I know you're going to slap me."
“…”
He must have had a brain short circuit to reach out.
Meng Zhi withdrew his hand and stretched out his foot.
Ye Xingzhou was feeling smug about himself for having avoided Meng Zhi's slap.
The next second, he stumbled because of Meng Zhi's foot.
"Junior brother, you have no moral integrity!"
Ye Xingzhou stopped laughing.
Meng Zhi withdrew his foot with satisfaction.
The village entrance is ahead, and the fireflies are quietly dispersing.
The air was filled with the aroma of barbecue.
The villagers are having a lively barbecue.
"Brothers, come quickly, the pork belly I roasted is delicious!"
Ren Wangzhu brought out two small stools and called the two of them over.
Freshly grilled sizzling pork belly, dipped in chili powder and wrapped in a leaf of lettuce, the first bite is so fragrant that it will make you dizzy.
"fragrant!"
