Chapter 63
Some brave residents went forward to grab it and tried to smash it.
But the moment this man touched the porcelain doll, he also turned into a porcelain man and shattered in front of everyone.
Everyone was terrified, and you could hear a pin drop in the ancestral hall. Everyone stared at the two piles of broken porcelain on the ground, and no one dared to move forward.
The farce ended just like that, and everyone returned home in fear.
The incident was over, but the male porcelain doll was still angry, and the residents' actions just now made him even angrier. So from then on, every month in the town, someone would turn into porcelain and then break into pieces, and this has continued to this day.
After listening to the boss, I was also attracted by this bizarre thing.
"Then why don't you leave here?" I asked them.
"Ah!" The proprietress sighed and said, "Who would stay here if they could leave? You saw the pile of broken porcelain at the entrance of town. They are all people who want to leave."
"You mean that the pile of broken white porcelain are all residents here?" I said in surprise.
"That's right. Anyone who wants to go out will turn into a porcelain figure and shatter into pieces the moment they step out of the town," said the boss.
After listening to their words, I couldn't calm down for a long time.
"It really hurts a lot." I said angrily.
"Young Master, please save us." the boss begged.
"Don't worry, boss. I will definitely help you get rid of this monster." I agreed.
I talked with them for a while longer before I fully understood the situation. People in this town rarely leave during the day, which explains why I've seen so few people around. At night, everyone is transformed into porcelain figurines. This applies to everyone, whether they're from this town or from outside.
This is also the reason why the boss was surprised to see that I didn’t turn into a porcelain man. Maybe he remembered that I had said before that I was from the Tianshi Mansion, and he thought I had a way.
I decided to go to the ancestral temple tomorrow to see what kind of evil spirit it is.
The next morning, at dawn, I heard a commotion on the street outside. I went downstairs and opened the shop door. The owner and his wife were standing at the door. I looked over and saw a woman, madly clutching a pile of porcelain shards. The sharp pieces had cut her hands, leaving them covered in blood. She seemed insensitive to the pain and just kept crying.
When the boss saw me coming out, he said, "That's Old Zhang's wife. Old Zhang died last night."
Seeing the broken porcelain pieces she was holding, I thought it must be Old Zhang. I suddenly remembered the sound of a bowl falling to the ground and breaking last night. That might be Old Zhang breaking, but it was too far away, so I thought it was the bowl that broke.
Old Zhang's wife stood up, holding the fragments, and looked ahead blankly. The next second, she suddenly ran towards the town entrance. The boss and his wife seemed to have expected this and grabbed her.
But the mad man was so strong that they could not be stopped at all. The boss and his wife were dragged to the town entrance. The boss and his wife had to give up. The moment the old Zhang and his wife left the town entrance, they turned into a porcelain figurine.
"Squeak!" A sound was heard.
Then I saw cracks appearing under her feet, and cracks all over her body, shattering at the entrance of the town.
I didn't expect the changes to be so fast. The soul of Old Zhang's wife was trapped in the pile of broken porcelain pieces and was dissipating bit by bit.
I immediately summoned the Feather Stone, gathered the fragmented souls together, and then chanted the mantra to liberate the wronged soul of Old Zhang's wife. After the salvation was completed, I felt a surge of anger enveloping me, which must be the little porcelain doll.
I didn't call the boss or his wife, and instead followed the emotion to find its source. This time, the aura didn't vanish suddenly. I followed it all the way to the ancestral temple, where I saw the porcelain doll with a furious expression.
Evil spirits like this are difficult to detect because they enjoy the incense of human beings, and the scent of incense can completely cover up the evil spirit in them.
Seeing me approach, it tried to transform me into a porcelain figure. Thousands of white mists emanated from it, entangling me from head to toe. I immediately summoned a protective golden light to dispel the mist. Then, I thrust a sword finger at it.
A huge, strange aura, mixed with the power of incense, emanated from the porcelain doll. It attacked me ferociously, and I quickly deployed my defense, but it only feinted and quickly fled.
I held the porcelain doll in my hand. This was its true form. As the saying goes, even if the monk can escape, the temple cannot. Without this porcelain doll to contain its spirit, it would eventually dissipate. I just had to wait for it to return.
When I walked out of the ancestral hall, many people had already gathered outside. When they saw me holding the porcelain doll, they all exclaimed and stepped back. Only the boss and his wife looked at me expectantly.
"It ran away, but I believe it will come back soon. Don't worry, I will catch it."
When they heard what I said, no one believed me.
I didn't care and left the crowd with the porcelain doll.
The boss and his wife caught up with me and stayed with me.
"Don't take it to heart, little master. We've been scared of this thing for a long time and we can't believe it for a while."
"Do you believe it?" I looked at the boss.
"Of course I believe in you, young master." The boss said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll need your help later." I said with a smile.
The boss, probably seeing my malicious expression, asked me nervously, "What can I do for you, young master?"
"I'll lift the ban on the town later, and you just need to walk out in front of everyone."
"ah?"
The proprietress slapped his bent body and said, "What? If you don't go, I will."
The boss was slapped like this and looked at the boss's wife with grievance.
He seemed to have thought of something and made a decision: "I'll go!"
I also patted the boss's bent shoulder and said, "Don't worry, boss."
His forehead was obviously sweating, and when I saw the red spot, I chuckled. The boss looked particularly funny at that moment.
In fact, the moment the spirit of the porcelain doll in my hand escaped, I noticed the intricate white threads in the town. Each white thread was connected to a resident, so whenever a resident wanted to run away from the town, he would be turned into a porcelain man.
I am the best at dealing with this kind of evil things.
When they arrived at the boss's shop, the boss told his wife, "Hurry up and prepare some food for the young master."
The boss didn't need to tell the proprietress anything. As soon as she came back, she went straight to the inner hall.
I sat at the table and said, "Boss, I'm going upstairs to rest for a while. Call me when the meal is ready."
"Just be casual, little master." The boss said with a smile.
I went upstairs, not to rest, but to summon the Fire Bell. Red Lotus Fire blazed fiercely throughout the room. Using my telekinesis, I directed it toward the white lines above the town. Like cotton meeting tinder, the white lines ignited instantly and spread rapidly.
The porcelain doll in my hand suddenly cracked all over and made a squeaking sound.
This action of mine has completely cut off its connection with the townspeople. I am just waiting for it to show up.
