"Originally, this was going quite smoothly. I even made quite a bit of money from it. I used the skin I dug out from other people's faces to change into various identities in the busy ancient town, and made quite a fortune. From time to time, I would help the elderly and children at home, and I thought this was pretty good... But why did you show up! If you didn't show up, didn't kill the tree spirit, and didn't hinder me, then everything would be fine, and Zhuangzhuang wouldn't die!" When he said this, Chen Weiliang glared at me angrily, as if he wanted to eat me in one bite.
After I carefully digested the whole incident, I replied, "If I hadn't killed the tree spirit, not only would your son have died, but your wife and your mother would have died as well. I had no choice but to kill the tree spirit after saving your family. Besides, as long as the tree spirit exists, you will continue to make murderous masks and harm others. Such a horrific thing, even though I'm an outsider, I have to intervene when I encounter it."
Chen Weiliang was speechless for a long time. It seemed that he still had some conscience and had not completely lost his rationality like the flower demon. Otherwise, he would not have done such a heroic act of killing his beloved son to protect his wife and mother.
I took the opportunity to press him and reveal the entire plan. Chen Weiliang showed remorse and, feeling his conscience, he revealed everything.
After the "murder mask" incident, the legend of "Ancient Town Shadow Play" also followed, causing panic throughout Xitang Ancient Town. Young and beautiful women were especially frightened and dared not use facial masks anymore. They were afraid that the masks they were using were the "murder masks" that could steal someone's skin. Even certain cosmetics were considered too shabby for them.
Until now, I've burned the tree spirit to death in the dead forest, driven the flower demon mad and turned it into the King of All Demons and Flowers, and even discovered Chen Weiliang's identity and chased away the little ghost that had merged into his foot. All my plans have been ruined by me. Suddenly, Chen Weiliang received instructions from the flower demon to seize the evil Yin in Ning Xue's body and kill us all.
However, the Flower Fairy was unaware of the presence of Evil Yin within Ning Xue. Perhaps she had no idea what Evil Yin was, yet she had Chen Weiliang carry out this mission. It was obvious that this must have been directed by the expert who was secretly assisting the Flower Fairy. And that expert, secretly helping her, actually knew that Ning Xue had Evil Yin within her. It seemed she had to be careful, otherwise Ning Xue would be in great danger.
"So, you were instructed by the flower demon to look for an opportunity to attack us? Especially her?" I pointed at Ning Xue who was still unconscious on the ground.
Chen Weiliang shook his head and said, "Not entirely. I was originally considering it. I thought that once you left Xitang, I would use the excuse of "I couldn't find you" to get away with it, but you followed me! I had no choice but to kill you. Otherwise, I would die! If I were to be possessed by a ghost, my whereabouts would be known to the flower demon and the others. I had no choice but to do this!"
So that's how it is. I nodded and asked, "Then do you know why the flower demons made the murderous mask to harm people? And why did they cheat people at the Seventh Master Temple?"
Now, many questions have been answered, only these two are left. As long as we get these two answers, all the truth will be solved!
However, Chen Weiliang thought for a long time before saying, "Immortals are scamming people by pretending to be the Seventh Master at the Seventh Master Temple. That's because we need some capital to make this killer mask. Besides, the flower demon basically grants the wishes of many people who go to the Seventh Master Temple. If the flower demon can't fulfill a wish, there's the expert behind the scenes to help, so it's not really a scam. As for why we made the killer mask to harm people... I don't know. I just know I can make a lot of money with it, so that's why I did it."
"Really?" I thought to myself, if it is just as Chen Weiliang said, then he is the only one who thinks that making this kind of facial mask is for making money, and the real purpose of Hua Yao and others is definitely not as simple as making money. There must be some unspeakable secret.
However, Chen Weiliang was not told. It seemed that he had to go to the flower demon in person to get an explanation. However, the flower demon had now become the king of all demons and flowers, and had lost his spirituality. Could he still speak properly?
Su Xiaoniu said angrily, "You're stupid! The truth of this matter has almost been revealed, okay? If you want to save Chen Weiliang's family, or even the people of Xitang, the only thing you can do now is to go find the flower demon and fight him. It would be best if you can force the guy who's secretly helping you to take action! I want to see who's playing tricks on me!"
Oh, Su Xiaoniu's personality is just so direct! But she's not without reason. The only way now is to find the flower demon. However, the flower demon is hiding in the withered forest and is extremely difficult to deal with. I can only continue with the plan Su Xiaoniu told me that night and lure the flower demon out of the withered forest.
I checked the time. It was already past five in the evening, almost six. Even if I could lure the flower demon out of the withered forest at this time, it wouldn't work. Su Xiaoniu had said that the Flower King of All Demons would become extremely agile and powerful in the dark, especially in areas with dense vines and weeds. Therefore, to defeat the flower demon, two conditions had to be met: daytime and luring it out of the withered forest.
After making the decision, I turned around and picked up the unconscious Ning Xue horizontally, like a princess. But to be honest, Ning Xue looked tall and very plump, but she felt light and airy in my arms.
I carried Ning Xue to the bathroom door, looked back at Chen Weiliang who was still sitting on the floor, and said, "We are going back to Aunt Lu's house to rest for the night. We will go find the flower demon tomorrow. If you are still a man and have a conscience, come back with me. Your wife and your mother still need you."
