Sleep paralysis!
Qi Laosi, who was unable to move, was startled. Recalling the commotion he had just heard, he became even more fearful and uneasy, but there was nothing he could do.
"What exactly happened?"
What got into my house?
"Could it be..."
His thoughts froze at that moment. Accompanied by a sharp pain in his chest, Qi Laosi's mind sank into a silent darkness. He was no longer afraid or uneasy, nor could he feel the cold pain emanating from all parts of his body.
"Phew~"
In the dark and cold tiled house, Feng Bingwen, holding a bloodstained woodcutter's knife, slowly exhaled a breath of bloody mist, as if trying to expel all the rusty smell he had just inhaled.
At this moment, the room was filled with a thick, nauseating smell of blood, making it impossible for anyone to vomit completely.
"Young master, if you feel uncomfortable, you can stop at any time!"
The female ghost who had been following Feng Bingwen saw the child's slightly pale face and spoke up.
"No, I feel great, very good."
Feng Bingwen turned his head and gave the female ghost a bright smile. It wasn't a forced smile, but a genuine one.
Therefore, just as his wood-chopping knife shattered the chest of Qi Laosi, who was lying on the bed unable to move, and crushed his heart, the Heavenly Book, which usually only appeared when he was meditating, was revealed for the first time on its own. Even when he was distracted and talking to someone, he could feel the presence of the Heavenly Book and "see" the contents that appeared on it.
Slay evil, perform good deeds, 999!
With a single strike dealing 999 damage, and seeing the words appear on the merit record with his own eyes, how could Feng Bingwen not be happy?
He made two wishes to the Heavenly Book and received generous rewards both times. This time, however, the amount of good deeds he received was unprecedented, which also shows just how heinous the sins this boy named Qi Laosi had committed.
"continue!"
Feng Bingwen urged. Even without the reward of good deeds, he would have wanted to kill these bastards, but with the blessing of good deeds, his desire to kill them was even stronger.
"Then let's continue!"
Under the cover of numerous wronged and vengeful spirits, more and more children died under Feng Bingwen's woodcutter's knife.
Once these children die, the remaining yang energy in their bodies will be completely plundered by numerous wronged and vengeful spirits, and their floating souls will be torn apart by the angry wronged spirits.
None of the Qijiagang residents, still asleep, heard this commotion. Before Feng Bingwen brought the hundred ghosts to their door, they could neither hear nor see anything.
Being trapped in a maze, being blinded by ghosts
While vengeful spirits and malevolent ghosts may need to sacrifice their souls to directly harm people, they can easily manipulate a person's senses through various means.
As more and more people from Qijiagang died, even with the cover of a hundred ghosts, they were still discovered.
On the hillside behind Qijiagang, in a small temple still filled with the scent of incense, the clay sculpture of the Earth God on the altar gleams with a yellowish-brown spiritual light.
An elderly man with a kind face appeared in the small temple, leaning on a cane. He looked up in the direction of Qijiagang, and his kind face instantly twisted, his white beard hanging down to his chest trembling uncontrollably.
"Those beasts, how dare they?"
The old man cursed loudly, then turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared into the earth god temple.
Meanwhile, Feng Bingwen, carrying a blood-dripping woodcutter's knife, walked out from a house with a genuine smile of joy on his face. With each strike, he earned hundreds of merits. How could he not be happy?
"Where did this demon come from? How dare he come to my Qi Family Village to commit evil deeds? This local deity will not let him off lightly today."
Just as Feng Bingwen arrived at the courtyard and was about to head to the next house to continue harvesting, a wisp of smoke rose from the ground in front of him. An old man with a rather kind appearance, dressed in a divine robe and leaning on a cane, appeared in front of him, glaring at him with his eyes and starting to curse.
"The Earth God?"
Feng Bingwen felt that he had truly opened his eyes today, having witnessed the existence of ghosts with his own eyes, and even saw the local earth god, who was only mentioned by old people.
However, this earth spirit, who in the old man's words was supposed to protect the peace of the village, was now all bristling with anger, looking as if he were about to exorcise a demon.
“Young master, don’t be fooled by this old ghost’s appearance. It’s true that he is the local lord of Qijiagang, but those human traffickers have been able to get away with it for so long thanks to his protection.”
The female ghost following behind Feng Bingwen instantly went into a state of rage the moment she saw the local earth god appear. Her three thousand black hairs transformed into spears and shot out, while she explained to Feng Bingwen.
"Evil spirit, stop spreading your heretical rumors!"
The Earth God raised his cane, channeling his divine power to fend off the onslaught of evil spirits, while angrily retorting.
"Heh, old man, you did it and you don't want people to talk about it? If it weren't for your protection, the underworld of Jinhua County would have known about the deeds of your descendants long ago. At that time, the gods of the underworld would have appeared in your dreams, and the government would have sent people to arrest them. How could your descendants have gotten away with it until today?"
"You monster! How dare you!"
The local earth god, who seemed to be handling the siege of numerous vengeful spirits with ease, was so angry that he jumped up and down, but he couldn't say anything to refute it, which seemed to be his tacit agreement.
"So, you're an ancestor of this village!"
Feng Bingwen lowered his eyes and let out a sigh.
"That's understandable, I can understand the need to protect future generations!"
Whoosh!
As he spoke, Feng Bingwen had already rushed forward in one stride, and the machete in his hand, which was already covered with the blood of more than ten children, was aimed straight at the head of the local earth god!
Buzz!
With a buzzing sound, the earthen-yellow divine light, which even the ghosts couldn't tear apart, shattered like a bubble the moment it was touched by the woodcutter's axe. The Earth God moved several feet away in horror, and then became extremely angry.
"Ignorant child, how dare you offend the gods and spirits?"
"Who do you think you are, some kind of ghost or god? You condone your descendants' human trafficking; you're nothing but a demon in the guise of a god!"
Feng Bingwen's blood boiled, and he wasn't buying it at all. Seeing that the landman had also moved away, he grabbed the kitchen knife and charged forward again, fearless and undaunted.
He discovered that the divine light emanating from this land had a strong restraining effect on evil spirits, but as for humans, well, it wasn't entirely ineffective, though it seemed to have little effect on him as he carried a wood-chopping knife.
"Boy, you're dead. As a living person, you've allowed ghosts to commit murder and disrespected the land. Whether in the underworld or in the government offices of the living, you deserve to die."
The landowner, who was chased around by Feng Bingwen but had no way to deal with him, was so angry that he cursed loudly.
"Death penalty? I think you're the one who should die, you old devil, prepare to die!"
Feng Bingwen countered sharply.
