They were not just focused on climbing the mountain on the way. Ying Huai's spiritual power spread out, silently covering every blade of grass and tree here. He quickly found the low shrines built on the side of the dirt road and pulled off the red silk on them.

The last shrine is on the only way leading out of the county town.

There are many locust trees in Shangshan County, and the locust tree next to the shrine is particularly thick and huge, more than twice as big as the ones seen before, and two men cannot even hug it together.

In the previous few times, Ying Huai took action, while Ah Jin watched from a distance. Of course, watching was just a rhetorical device to save face.

This time, Ajin walked a little closer, and the face under the red cloth still scared him.

It was not any statue of a god or Buddha that he knew. The clay statue inside only reached his knees, was dressed in a red wedding dress, and was hung in this low little house.

The facial lines of the clay statue are roughly and simply drawn, but the bun on the top of the head and the gender characteristics displayed clearly show that it is a female.

Ah Jin exclaimed, "Didn't they say that the one being worshipped was a man?"

“It was switched.”

There were still a lot of burnt incense sticks around, leaving behind many messy footprints, which seemed to indicate that many people had worshipped there before.

Ah Jin thought this scene was ridiculous. "No way, with so many people paying homage, no one recognized that this was a fake clay statue?"

"Everyone in the world worships God for something. There may be people who worship God from the bottom of their hearts, but they are not here."

Ah Jin sighed, it turned out that making a wish was a metaphysics thing. If it worked, it was because the gods were obviously helping. If it didn’t, it was because one’s heart was not sincere enough.

The people of Shangshan County are afraid of evil spirits in their bones. Even if the red cloth was not covered at the beginning, they would not look up carefully to see if the face of the clay statue in the shrine had changed. They would not notice that the clay statue they were worshiping was becoming more and more like the women they had killed.

Although the clay statue is extremely simple, it cannot be said to be particularly scary.

But they remained in the suspended position, with their eyes downcast and a look of compassion on their faces. It was like an evil ghost pretending to be Guanyin, with a weird smile, which only made Ah Jin feel very weird... What kind of god was hanged by humans and still had compassion on the world?

While they were talking, the clay statue in the shrine began to move. The mud pieces fell off and the clay statue raised its head in the dust.

Sensing the breath of a living person, those dead eyes suddenly burst into light, as if locking onto their prey.

Oh, that's all.

Ah Jin hid behind Ying Huai and thought grimly.

Ying Huai took out the dry bones that Jiang Ji had dug out earlier, leaned over and placed them in front of the spirit niche. A huge hand of mental power quickly condensed behind him and slapped the spirit niche heavily.

It was shattered into pieces, tiles were flying everywhere, the ground was lifted up to reveal holes with soil of different colors, and there were bones lying underneath.

Ajin took a careful look and found that these people's bones were covered with cracks, which meant that all the bones in their bodies were broken.

A female ghost in a wedding dress appeared under the locust tree, her black hair covering her entire face and white bones under her sleeves.

Ying Huai had already changed out of his wedding clothes and was now wearing a black windbreaker, with his hands in his pockets. He spoke in a lazy tone, as if he had not yet woken up.

"I've been asked to remove your restrictions. Do whatever you want."

These women were murdered by the villagers here during their lifetime, and all the blame was directed at this backward and closed small county.

The disaster in Shangshan County began when the villagers made wishes to the gods and ghosts but did not keep their promises.

There is a god above our heads, especially when facing the unknown, we should always be in awe.

When they encountered the ghost sedan chair in the mass grave before, these ghosts helped Jiang Ji once. Jiang Ji promised to help them escape. She was a person who kept her promises, and specifically asked Ying Huai to help her clean up.

After Ying Huai finished speaking, the aura moved away from them.

All ghosts, no matter how kind and selfless they were in life, will inevitably fight against humans after death.

Humans are a link in the food chain and the key to promotion, but at the same time ghosts are also a collection of malice and have deep resentment. The ones they want to retaliate most are definitely those who have hurt them. Maybe they can even find old friends among them and nourish their souls.

The two humans before him were no match for the county buffet.

The female ghost was not stupid either. These two people were both people with special abilities, and she couldn't see through the aura of Ying Huai.

…

After a walk around Shangshan County, there were nine shrines in total, and all the evil spirits inside had been released.

When they walked out of the deserted county town, the huge town was completely silent, with only the white paper lanterns swaying in welcome.

The sound of a woman's sad and ethereal sobbing was heard in the wind, like crying and complaining, and suddenly turned into a giggle.

Ajin seemed to see many scenes from the past.

The children stepped on the ground where the blood and bones were buried, clapping their hands and singing insulting songs...

The adults held hoes and sickles at the city gates to prevent outsiders who were looking for their relatives from entering...

The blind old woman next door, who was abandoned by her children, drank the bowl of hot chicken soup handed to her by the girl, and said with tears in her eyes that no one had ever treated her so well. But she turned around and told the husband who bought her about her plan to run away, just because she would have no one to take care of her if she left...

The dilapidated Yinhuai County and the Shangshan County, which had been renovated time and time again, quietly overlapped at this moment.

A strong wind blew, blowing paper money all over the sky, and its fluttering posture was like a butterfly that finally broke free from a cage.

It lasted only a short moment before it was quickly wetted by the pattering raindrops, fell to the ground, and was crushed into mud.

Is it the rain that finally falls, or the belated tears?

This is a rotten ghost town, flowing with evil blood, and generations have become accomplices.

He was afraid that the souls of those he had killed over the years would turn into evil ghosts to seek revenge, so he used the most vicious methods to make sure they would never be reborn.

Now... take revenge if there is revenge, and take grudges if there is grudge.

From within the pitch-black city wall, shrill screams and gnawing sounds could be heard.

Ajin looked back quietly and his face turned pale with fright.

Hell on earth is just like this.

He was a little worried: "After these ghosts have eaten the ones in the city, their strength has greatly increased. They will definitely come to find us again..."

The female ghost didn't attack them just now because she felt that she had been suppressed for too long, and might not be Ying Huai's opponent if a fight really broke out.

If we allow them to devour an entire city, it is hard to say how big they will grow.

The rain was heavy and the air became humid in an instant. The smell of grass and blood were fighting in the air, incompatible with each other. They were wafting from the city wall.

After dealing with these things, they headed towards the barren mountain. Ying Huai did not open the protective screen, so both of them got wet quickly.
