Chapter 145 Zhaojia Village
Everyone outside the illusion watched as Li Juan desperately smashed the chains unwillingly, and finally died in the sea of fire.
The illusion had such a huge impact on them that no one spoke for a long time.
But the illusion did not end.
The fire was so big that the villagers had no way to put it out. Seeing that only Zhao Laosi rushed out, they asked:
"Old Four, where's your wife?"
"Dead in there."
Zhao Laosi spoke lightly, without a trace of sadness in his tone, as if he was answering that it was time to eat.
"Oh, you're so confused! That woman is pregnant, why don't you bring her out with you!"
The old man beside him said angrily.
"That's easy to say. I might not even be able to escape by myself. If I bring that burden with me, I'm going to be trapped tonight!"
Zhao Laosi said indifferently that these people were just bored and didn't care whether he brought the woman out or not. Isn't she just a woman?
Even though she was pregnant with his child, it would be a waste if he also got himself pregnant because of her.
There are plenty of women, and they can get pregnant again, but you only have one life, so you must cherish it.
"Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother! Have you ever thought that if you abandon this woman and let her die in the sea of fire, aren't you afraid that she will turn into a ghost and come to claim your life?"
"Auntie, please don't scare me."
This old lady Zhao was the fortune teller in their village. She was quite capable of talking nonsense and had some real skills. When Zhao Laosi heard what she said, he felt a little scared.
When the other villagers heard this, they quickly told Mrs. Zhao not to just scare him. Things had already happened, so they should find a way to remedy the situation.
"Hey, wait until the fire is out, quickly find that woman's body. I'll use some magic to subdue her and prevent her from coming back for revenge."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Laosi quickly nodded and stared at the hut in the firelight.
“Ah—ah—ah—”
The villagers outside were frightened by the constant cries of a woman in pain coming from inside.
Xiuying listened to Li Juan's screams, which became more and more tragic, and clenched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands.
"Why don't you go put out the fire?"
"You're talking about lightness, but you haven't seen such a big job. Do you want us to die?"
Xiuying's man raised his hand and slapped her in the face, cursing.
Xiuying covered her swollen cheek, stood aside in panic, and stopped talking.
"Oh, my goodness, my house!"
The house had been completely burned down, leaving only broken walls and smoke rising from the blackened wood.
"Don't worry about the house, find her body."
A villager nearby nudged Zhao Laosi, who was feeling sad about his house, and urged him on.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Laosi quickly stood up and went to the ruins to look for Li Juan's body.
It was found quickly, but it had been burnt beyond recognition of its original appearance.
The chains that bound her and restricted her escape finally fell off her ankles as her body was burned and shriveled.
Zhao Laosi carried the shriveled body out of the ruins and placed it on the open space.
"Auntie, what should we do now?"
Old Lady Zhao looked at the corpse in front of her, took out five evil-suppressing talismans, and ordered:
"Hurry up and get a big box."
Soon the box was found, and Old Lady Zhao told them to fold the shriveled body and put it in.
She walked over and placed the five evil-suppressing talismans on the four corners of the box, leaving one talisman above the corpse's lower abdomen.
"Lock it up with chains and bury it there."
The place that Old Lady Zhao pointed to was a vacant lot next to the burned house.
"Auntie, you can't hurt me like this. I still need to rebuild the house. This, this, this..."
Only now did Zhao Laosi feel a little scared. Seeing that the woman's body was buried next to his house, wasn't this going to kill him?
"Would I harm you? She was burned to death by Huo Huo while she was pregnant. Although she is now suppressed by these talismans of mine, you still need to be by her side to suppress her."
"That's right, Old Four, just listen to Auntie. How could Auntie harm you?"
Seeing that Zhao Laosi was about to continue speaking, the villagers interrupted.
Zhao Laosi's house is at the innermost end of the village, and people in Zhaojia Village like to bury their dead on the west side of the village, where there are many farmlands owned by farmers.
If they buried this woman there, they would never dare to go to the fields again.
One person could not fight against the majority of people, so Zhao Laosi had to bury Li Juan in the place where Zhao Laopo said.
"This person died, and instead of consoling him, they're suppressing him!"
The Xuanmen people outside the illusion were extremely angry. The people in Zhaojia Village were so evil and vicious.
"Haha, my soul is constantly suppressed in that box, feeling the damage brought to me by the talisman day and night. But the more it's like this, the more unwilling I am to accept it!"
The illusion has disappeared. The female ghost has no ghost power to support the illusion, and her soul is a little exhausted at this moment.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and she leaned weakly against the wall, speaking with difficulty.
Suddenly, a stream of pure Yin energy entered her body, and her ghost power instantly recovered a little.
She glanced at Qing Yanrou in surprise, then smiled and said, "Thank you."
The others also saw it. They didn't expect that she could actually control the Yin energy. But then they thought of her relationship with the underworld, and everyone felt that it was nothing.
The female ghost regained some strength and continued:
"Until that damned old lady died, no one in Zhao Village understood these things anymore. When the power of the talisman was slowly consumed, I finally got out!"
After she came out, the range of her movement was relatively small, so she could only kill Zhao Laosi temporarily. With Zhao Laosi's soul supply, her strength was also enhanced.
The scope of their activities became a little larger, and they went to kill the two households closest to Zhao Laosi's house.
Her progress was too fast and her soul could not bear it, so she had to pause and start consolidating the soul she had devoured.
The people in Zhaojia Village were frightened and took the initiative to find the government, saying that they wanted to move away and go to the town.
Without the soul supply from the villagers of Zhaojia Village, her cultivation slowed down. She could not leave the mountains and could only continue to practice.
Later, when it became stronger, it began to enter their dreams through illusions, causing them to suffer and allowing negative energy to enter their bodies.
Even if she couldn't eat them herself, they would be eroded by the Yin energy for the rest of their lives, suffering from illnesses of varying degrees, and ultimately not having a good end.
After hearing what happened next, the people from Xuanmen fell silent.
In the empty mountain village, there are only the ghost girl's faint voices.
