Chapter 93
I walked over to Wang Shan and said to her, "Your grandfather wants to talk to you later."
Wang Shan didn't understand what I meant, because Wang Geqing was obviously in a coma, but I couldn't tell her what was happening.
When Wang Geqing's soul returned to his body, he woke up.
Wang Shan saw Wang Geqing wake up and said, "Grandpa, why are you awake?"
Now that time was running out, Wang Geqing didn't waste any time and gave Wang Shan a lot of instructions.
Wang Shan cried and said, "Grandpa, you will definitely get better."
Wang Geqing burst into tears, patted Wang Shan on the back and kept comforting her.
When the time came, Qi Ye called out "Wang Geqing" again.
Wang Geqing's soul followed the Seventh and Eighth Masters. Before leaving the yard, Wang Geqing's soul looked back at Wang Shan.
Wang Shan didn't know yet that Wang Geqing had passed away.
I went up to him to comfort him and said, "The old man is gone."
After hearing what I said, Wang Shan quickly supported Wang Geqing's shoulders, and when she saw that he had died, she cried even harder.
The funeral took place early in the morning. Since Wang Shan was alone, the neighbors all helped out. This also reflects Wang Geqing's popularity during his lifetime; he was indeed quite good. After Wang Geqing's death, I told Wang Shan that his grandfather had a natural end. But the sadness wouldn't go away for a while, so Erma and I didn't stay any longer and boarded the bus back to Longhu Mountain.
Maybe it was because I was in a bad mood, I felt carsick after sitting for a while.
Erma asked me what happened last night, and I told her about the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master. When she heard me say that her talisman almost hit them, she was also scared.
In fact, the main reason is that neither of us has learned face reading. If Li Danyang and the others came, they would definitely be able to tell at a glance, and our efforts would not have been in vain.
This made me realize that I can’t just catch ghosts, I also need to understand the related knowledge, otherwise I might make a bigger joke.
Back at the Tianshi Mansion, Master Zhang asked Erma how she was handling the situation. She hesitated and didn't dare to say anything. He then asked me what had happened, but I didn't say anything. It would be too embarrassing to tell others about it.
But I didn’t expect that this matter would spread throughout the Tianshi Mansion within a few days.
Liu Danchen, the big mouth, had just come down the mountain and encountered Wang Shan coming to the Tianshi Mansion to express his gratitude. After hearing Wang Shan's account of what had happened, he and Master Zhang conspired to guess almost exactly what Erma and I had done at the Dragon King Temple.
After Wang Shan finished arranging Wang Geqing's funeral, she had lost a lot of weight. She looked lonely now, and it was obvious that she was still immersed in the grief of her grandfather's death. After thanking me, Erma, and Master Zhang, she lit a stick of incense at the Tianshi Fu incense altar.
After she left, Erma and I were so embarrassed due to Liu Danchen's deliberate spread of the news.
Everyone I knew looked at me with a strange expression, but I could only bully Qingyun as usual.
From then on, I was determined to learn this knowledge thoroughly. I dug up the parts of the Yin Fu Lu that I was most reluctant to learn and discussed them frequently with the old Heavenly Master Zhang Jingzhi, Heavenly Master Zhang Pingyin, and Master Zhang. Studying boring knowledge that I had no interest in every day was very tiring. But this state of mind didn't last long. Something happened immediately that broke it.
That day, I was playing with Erma.
Liu Danchen ran over and said, "I need to go down the mountain to take care of something. Do you want to come?"
I've been feeling suffocated these days. When I heard that Liu Danchen was going down the mountain, I couldn't wait to go back and pack my things.
When I came back, Erma looked at me with resentment. I just told her to practice well and play with her when I came back.
On the way, I learned that this incident sounded really unusual.
The young man who told this story had come to the Tianshi Temple to ask Master Zhang for help. His name was Zou Zhen, and he explained that something strange had happened in his village. A while ago, while digging the foundation for his house, his uncle unearthed seven human heads beneath it. The heads were made of stone, and at first, no one took them seriously, simply considering them bad luck, and threw them away. But the next day, the seven heads were neatly arranged around the foundation.
This frightened the villagers who were working there, but the more terrifying thing was yet to come. Zou Zhen's uncle hadn't come yet. After all, this was their family's house, and he came to work with them every day. When everyone went to look for him, they found him lying in the makeshift shack, his neck neatly broken, but his head missing.
After this incident, the villagers dared not continue working there and were scared away. But the incident did not end there. One villager working there died every day. Strangely, the cause of death was the same as that of Uncle Zou Zhen, and there was no end in sight.
To date, three people have died. The villagers allege that it was the stone heads that were dug out, and that they need to find a master to deal with the matter. The Tianshi Mansion is well-known far and wide, so Zou Zhen was sent to the Tianshi Mansion to search for the deceased.
Liu Danchen happened to be there, so Master Zhang sent him to check it out. He saw that I was bored in the Tianshi Mansion every day, so he wanted to take me with him.
If it is true as Zou Zhen said, this thing is very ferocious and will definitely be difficult to deal with.
We arrived at the place, with Zou Zhen leading the way. The village was called Shituozi. When the villagers saw Liu Danchen and I, they knew we were from the Tianshi Mansion and warmly welcomed us. But I could see some panic in their expressions.
If something like this happens, it would be strange if I wasn't scared.
Liu Danchen didn't waste any time and immediately asked someone to take us to the scene. But they pushed and shoved, and no one was willing to take us. In the end, it was Zou Zhen, the nephew of the person involved, who took us there.
On the way, I learned that his uncle was a bachelor who had originally planned to marry a widow from a neighboring village, but now that this incident had happened, the wedding had turned into a funeral. However, I also learned from him that there were also rumors that his uncle was killed by the widow.
But in my opinion, this matter has nothing to do with the widow. It must be the work of those seven stone heads.
Arriving at the site, I was met with a shambles. Demolition debris was scattered about, uncollected. Seven human heads, each as large as the stone pillars at the entrance to the pedestrian street, stood beside the foundations. Each head had a different expression, a deeply unsettling sight.
Zou Zhen was also frightened and did not dare to take another step forward.
Liu Danchen and I approached the heads and discovered they were suffused with a powerful evil spirit, even heavier than a mass grave. If nothing happened, something strange would have happened.
After just a moment, I felt sick all over. The evil spirit had already entangled me. Liu Danchen was no exception, a layer of evil spirit enveloped him. We also discovered that the foundation was a rectangular shape, but because they had previously laid the foundation, the original pattern was destroyed. Now the evil spirit formed a field around the foundation, and anything that touched it would be affected.
Apart from this, we found nothing else, so we had no choice but to leave. Liu Danchen took out two evil-breaking talismans and gave each of us one to wear to dispel the evil spirits. He then told Zou Zhen to call everyone who had worked here and help them remove the evil spirits first.
