Chapter 141 Weird Ceremony

"What are they writing about? Poetry?" Xu Moyan couldn't help but mutter.

Lin Xiyue glanced at the paper and then looked up at the sky.

Finally, everyone noticed the abnormality.

"Wow, why is it so bright? Could there be a fire?" Xu Moyan looked at the fire that illuminated the sky and couldn't help but click his tongue.

Except for this village, which is a large open space, the rest of the area is covered with forests. If there is a real fire, none of them can escape.

"Let's go take a look first." Lin Xiyue said, and led everyone out through the back door and headed towards the direction of the fire.

The village was not very big. They passed through several low houses and soon saw a fire in front of them.

I saw a lot of wood piled together to make a huge fire. All the villagers stood around the fire. From Lin Xiyue and the others' perspective, they could only see the backs of the villagers.

Lin Xiyue found a house nearest to them as a cover, preparing to observe what these villagers were doing without sleeping so late at night.

Everyone else stood behind her, only sticking their heads out to look over there.

Standing at the front of the fire were women, behind them were the elderly and children, and at the back were a group of young men.

They all stood facing the fire.

The whole team was unusually quiet. Even the children stood there obediently without making any noise.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so strange.

After these people formed a circle, they found six coffins on the outermost edge.

The old village chief stood beside the coffin. He seemed to be muttering something, and then he raised and lowered his hands violently.

It seemed as if some kind of ceremony was being performed.

All the villagers knelt down following his gesture, with their foreheads pressed tightly against the ground and their upper bodies prostrated, looking very pious.

The clearing was unusually quiet, with only the crackling sound of burning wood.

Even Lin Xiyue and others who were more than ten meters away couldn't help but hold their breath when they saw this scene.

Suddenly a cold wind blew.

The wood crackled loudly.

Everyone seemed to be startled by the sound.

But no one spoke, and the villagers lay on the ground even more pious.

At this moment, something broke out of the water in the pool next to them. The splashing sound attracted the attention of Lin Xiyue and others.

"What the hell, what the hell is that?!" Xu Moyan was so scared that he couldn't help but swear.

The others' pupils also dilated and they covered their mouths tightly to avoid screaming out in surprise.

I saw something like a black python slowly crawling out of the water in the pool.

The reason why we thought it was a python is because it is extremely huge and looks very similar to a python.

But a closer look revealed that it was not a snake at all. Its body was softer than a snake, and it left a sticky liquid wherever it crawled. Rather than a snake, it looked more like some kind of mollusk.

"What the hell is this thing? It doesn't look like a loach or an eel, and it's so huge..."

Xu Moyan couldn't help but be amazed.

The thing moved very quickly, and its dark and fat body suddenly appeared among the villagers.

The villagers formed a circle, leaving a passage in the middle as if for these things to enter and exit.

Its body is covered in mucus, and wherever it goes, there is a thick, sticky, fishy smell, which is extremely disgusting to look at.

Soon the thing was entangled in one of the coffins.

Its body moved slowly on the coffin, as if looking for an opportunity to drill in.

Seeing that it was about to drill into the coffin, Lin Xiyue rushed out suddenly.

She took out a talisman and slapped it into the air. The talisman turned into a golden flame in mid-air.

Flying straight towards that thing.

The dark and sticky body was burned by the golden flames and let out a painful wail.

It was clearly a black monster, but the sound was like a woman's cry of pain.

The monster burned by the golden flames fell directly from the coffin and twisted its body wildly on the ground.

Thick mucus also flowed all over the ground from its wounds, looking both terrifying and disgusting.

Lin Xiyue rushed out, and Brother Lin and Lin Zhenxing followed without thinking.

Although Xu Moyan was afraid, he gritted his teeth and followed with the driver.

The black monster finally got rid of the golden flames on its body, and its pair of human-like eyes looked towards Lin Xiyue with viciousness.

"Kill you, kill you..." The black monster twisted its dark and sticky body and rushed towards Lin Xiyue.

Lin Xiyue threw out a few more talismans. The monster, probably having seen the power of the golden flames just now, actually dodged a move, turned around and ran into the pool.

Of course Lin Xiyue would not let it run away. She flew over and blocked its retreat.

Then, a few pieces of talismans were stuck directly on the monster's body.

As soon as the talisman was applied, the monster began to writhe as if it was thrown into hot water, and it kept emitting a woman's screaming sound.

In the end, the sound seemed to be torn apart and turned into a mixture of countless sounds.

There were all kinds of voices, including those of men, women, young and old, each one more mournful than the last, making people tremble with fear.

At this moment, it seemed as if countless resentful spirits were emitting the pain and wailing of their souls.

Balls of black gas emerged from the black monster's body. Amidst the painful howls, the monster's body suddenly dispersed bit by bit and turned into countless tiny soft worms, which fled in all directions.

The scene was so terrifying, with dense swarms of black soft-bodied insects crawling towards everyone's feet.

Lin Xiyue frowned and shouted to Brother Lin and others behind her, "This thing is afraid of fire. Go to the fire and get some fire..."

It looked like the thing was about to quickly crawl onto the person.

Everyone ran towards the fire, fearing that if they slowed down a step, they would be possessed by this evil creature.

When we got around the fire, the black, soft-bodied reptiles didn't dare to come near.

Brother Lin took a wooden stick from the side, tore a piece of cloth to tie it on, then lit a torch in the fire and ran towards Lin Xiyue.

Lin Xiyue naturally noticed Brother Lin's actions. At this time, she was surrounded by living soft reptiles.

If the light of merit on her body had not been too strong, those evil insects would not have dared to approach her. She would have probably been completely surrounded by the insects by now.

Lin Xiyue directly stretched out her hand and said to Brother Lin, "Just throw it over here."

Brother Lin hesitated for a moment, then threw the torch directly over.

Lin Xiyue jumped up on the spot and took the torch in the air.

Then he took the torch and threw it directly at the pile of soft-bodied live worms that had not yet completely run away.

As soon as those strange black insects came into contact with the fire, they immediately began to burn violently. The sticky liquid on their bodies seemed like fuel, connecting all the fires together. All the insects that had failed to escape were burned to ashes at this moment.

Just as all the insects turned to ashes, a cloud of black smoke suddenly rose from the ground and was about to escape, but was caught by Lin Xiyue.

Then she squeezed it hard with both hands, and the thing actually exploded in her hands.
