After witnessing Lin Xi's abilities, they were no longer so afraid of things in the water.
And most importantly, they really want to know what the river monster that has troubled their village for dozens of days is!
I also want to know why it kills the villagers!
So the group of people said that they would gather at this place around midnight, and then they finally separated.
As for why we have to wait until night to deal with it, it is naturally because we don’t want to expand the impact of the matter.
Secondly, forcing the ghost out of the river during the day would probably cause it considerable harm.
Having confirmed the identity of the ghost in the river, Lin Xi didn't want to be too cruel to it.
At twelve o'clock in the morning, Lin Xi and the village chief and others met at the sacrificial place.
At night in the countryside, even without street lights, you can still see everything around you clearly by the moonlight.
In the night, the river is like a mirror, calm and without ripples.
Soon, the tranquility on the river surface was broken by several yellow talismans.
The yellow talisman fell into the river like lightning, landing in four directions.
The moment the talisman fell, Lin Xi muttered something, and golden light suddenly emerged from the talisman paper, then gradually extended, and finally connected into a rectangle, framing a section of the river.
As the distance of the yellow symbol changed, the rectangle continued to shrink. Finally, when it shrank to the size of a table, the framed river suddenly began to surge, like boiling water.
Then, several transparent figures emerged from the river.
The village chief and his companions on the shore had already been given temporary Yin-Yang eyesight by Lin Xi, and now they could finally see ghosts.
The moment they saw the ghost floating up from the river, the old men were suddenly surprised and their eyes widened.
Because the ghosts floating in the river turned out to be the old man who had passed away many years ago and his four sons!
They have died so many times, yet they are still not cured.
Isn’t it said that people go to the underworld to be reincarnated after they die?
How come this family died such a tragic death that they didn’t even get reincarnated after death?
The village chief waited for a while but still didn't see any new ghosts appear, and finally couldn't help asking about Lin Xi.
"Master, where is the evil ghost that harmed their family? Why can't we see it? Or did it run away?!"
Lin Xi could only explain: "The evil ghosts you mentioned who harmed their family are them."
Not him.
But they.
When the village chief and his companions heard this, they were shocked and confused.
What does this mean?
Normally, the old man and his family should be a whole.
If they were killed, they must have been killed by outsiders, either by another person or by another group.
But now Lin Xi actually said that they were the evil ghosts who harmed them.
Doesn't this mean...
Is this family killing each other?!
The village chief was shocked by his own guess, and his first reaction was that he must be wrong.
The old man and his family are biological parents, they are father and son to each other, how could they be so cruel?
Unable to figure out what was going on, the village chief could only anxiously ask Lin Xi for the truth.
Lin Xi had indeed roughly guessed the truth, but as for the specific details, it would naturally be more complete and convincing if the ghost in question told them.
So she waved towards the ghost floating in the middle of the river, and the ghost moved uncontrollably towards the shore.
The closer they got to the shore, the clearer the tragic situation of the old man and his sons became.
They all maintained the appearance they had before death. Almost everyone had a pale face, and their bodies had swelling from blisters, bulging eyeballs, cracked skin, etc.
It looks particularly terrifying.
Especially when they were caught off guard and approached the shore, the village chief and his companions could not help but took two steps back in fear.
Looking at Lin Xi again, he still had no change in expression, as if he didn't see anything.
Several people are suffering.
Why didn’t the master give them a heads-up in advance? This is a bit too “exciting”!
They could only be thankful that they had a good psychological endurance, otherwise they would have been frightened to death.
After the ghosts of the old man and his sons approached, Lin Xi said to the old man.
"You should leave now that you've avenged your great vengeance. Stop doing meaningless things. Leave the river as soon as possible and let the villagers return to their normal lives."
When the old man heard this, he didn't get angry, but just smiled sadly.
"Have I avenged my great sin? But I don't think it's enough. Even if these evil creatures die, it can't make up for the harm I've suffered! I want them to never transcend. I want to torture them forever!"
As he spoke, the old man became unconsciously excited.
The village chief and his companions also glimpsed some of the truth from his few words.
"Uncle Chen, were you killed by Chen Dong and the others?"
The village chief's voice was filled with horror and disbelief.
Seeing his unbelievable look, the village chief smiled and said.
"Why, is it hard to believe?"
When the village chief saw his reaction, he knew that this was indeed the case.
He was silent for a while before muttering, "How could this happen..."
Old man Chen seemed to be answering his question, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
"Yeah, how could this happen? I don't know why I raised such an ungrateful person. He despised me because I was old and couldn't move. Just because he didn't want to take care of me, he ganged up on me and threw me into the river to drown."
Even though dozens of days had passed, when Old Man Chen recalled the scenes of his four sons plotting against him and throwing him into the river, he still couldn't control the pain, despair, and anger in his heart.
He had thought countless times about why he would die.
Did he die of illness or just old age?
It is even possible that he himself could not stand living in such a undignified way and drank pesticides like other elderly people.
But he never expected that he would die at the hands of his own son.
And it was four sons who joined forces to create that false and absurd accident.
When Old Man Chen became disabled, he could still do some things with his hands at first, so even if his four sons took turns to take care of him, they didn't have to worry too much.
He can sit at home and pick vegetables, rub a few pieces of clothes by himself, and even slowly move to the toilet by himself by holding on to the wall.
He just needed his sons to cook him a meal and pour him some water.
