Chapter 29
After returning last night, Shi Ye woke up Fang Zhitao, and Fang Zhitao stumbled and told him everything.
Three years ago, she was chosen to be a fairy child. Her father did not believe in God like the other people in Fangjia Village. The lives of those chosen to be fairy children did not change at all. Nothing about ascending to heaven or becoming a fairy happened. The only change was that the child was gone.
Fang Wei knew then that the matter of the fairy child was just an excuse for the clan leaders to make money.
So when his daughter was chosen, Fang Wei went to find the clan leader and said that he did not want Fang Zhitao to go, but the clan leader stopped him by saying that it was the decision made by the statue, and that there would be great benefits waiting for their family in the future.
Fang Wei said he wanted to take his wife and daughter away from Fangjia Village. The clan leader threatened him, saying that if Master Cui found out, they would suffer. Fang Wei was scared and was restless on the way home. He accidentally slipped and hit his head on a rock. That's how Fang Zhitao lost his father.
After knowing this, Qiu Li held her husband's body in agony. She looked at her well-behaved little daughter and knew that she would not be able to survive after leaving Fangjia Village with the child, so she cruelly disfigured Fang Zhitao. In this way, even if the patriarch wanted Xiaotao to go to the sacrifice again, it would be a great disrespect to the statue. Then Qiu Li went crazy.
Fang Zhitao was possessed by the children in the bronze statues during her screams, and became a half-life person. However, she didn't know that this was called a half-life person, she only knew that when she was lonely, there were people who would chat with her.
After Shi Ye spilled a pot of Meng Po soup on Fang Zhitao last night, the wronged soul in his body disappeared, and now he is just an ordinary person.
Fang Die greeted Wang Sheng, "Master Wang, come here and try my cooking."
"Here I come."
Wang Sheng sat down next to Shi Ye and took a piece of dessert into his mouth, almost choking him to death. He snatched the teacup from Shi Ye's hand and drank it all in one gulp, at least getting the dessert down his esophagus.
Shi Ye looked at the rim of the cup in front of him that was stained with snacks, endured it, and changed the cup.
"Take your time to eat. Xiaodie and I will go to the statue to help."
After everyone said goodbye to each other, Cui Ziyao said, "What a pity, my father put me in solitary confinement yesterday, otherwise I could have gone with you."
When Fang Zhitao heard Cui Ziyao mention his father, she put down the snacks in her hand.
The two little ones lowered their heads at the same time.
"What are you doing? Aren't there still two of us?" Wang Sheng snatched the teapot from Shi Ye's hand and poured himself a full cup. "Cui Ziyao, tell me, are you going to choose your father or us?"
Cui Ziyao raised his head slightly and became negative again.
He had never been cared for by his father since he was a child. It was always his mother who took care of him. His father would only call him to the family statue to purify himself on special occasions. His family had a group of concubines. His mother was not actually the wife of the first wife, but just a concubine of low status. It was also his mother who was pregnant with the first child of the Cui family.
Therefore, he had no feelings for Cui Biwu, and he felt depressed when he knew that he was elected as a fairy boy just to satisfy Cui Biwu's inner desire to become an immortal.
"Dad, he hurt people."
Being able to distinguish between good and evil is not bad.
Wang Sheng: "Master, we let Meng Yi escape. What should we do next? Where should we find him?"
Shiye cracked his knuckles in front of the cup, and Wang Sheng poured him a cup as well.
"Since he said he's been in Fangjia Village for a long time, it's likely that Cui Biwu was bewitched by him back then. Now he's alerted to the danger. If we want to catch him, we'll have to wait and see during tomorrow's sacrificial ceremony."
Cui Ziyao looked at Shi Ye fearfully: "Isn't it true that I will be chosen as a fairy child? I don't want to die yet. My mother is still waiting for me at home."
Shi Ye stroked his teacup and thought, since Meng Yi is also a ghost master and is so anxious to refine the half-life person, then this sacrificial ceremony must be related to him. And judging by what Meng Yi said last night, he must have a big trick waiting for them.
Shi Ye: "With the clan leader here, you will definitely be chosen during the ceremony tomorrow, fulfilling your father's wish."
Cui Ziyao's face turned pale. "What should I do? You won't just ignore me, will you?"
Wang Sheng's eyes rolled, and he looked malicious. He threatened him, "Why should I care about you? A son pays for his father's debts. Don't you think so, Xiao Tao?"
Although Cui Biwu is not the person they want to deal with this time, if the news of Cui Biwu's collusion with the clan leader gets out, he will definitely have to pay the price, and by then Cui Ziyao might even be implicated.
When Cui Ziyao was frightened, he stayed there and refused to leave, shouting that if he went back he would be locked up by his father and would not be able to escape. Shi also thought they were too noisy, so he said that if he didn't leave, he would not save him tomorrow. Cui Ziyao could only leave in tears.
Fang Zhitao had a special physique, so he also gave her a soul-repelling amulet and asked her to wear it on her body all the time.
Wang Sheng watched Cui Ziyao walk away sobbing and asked, "Master, are you really going to let him go?"
"His father won't care about him until tomorrow, so what's there to be afraid of?"
Wang Sheng nodded, then he looked at the plate of dim sum that had hardly been touched, and smiled with his teeth showing. Now they were all his!
Shi Ye looked at him. Although he didn't know why this man was always so happy, he still pushed the plate in front of Wang Sheng.
After returning last night, he summoned Hebo's concubine again, only to discover that Wang Sheng hadn't actually taken away the evil spirit he had refined. So he recited the Jiazi Jue to Wang Sheng, and sure enough, as soon as Wang Sheng finished reciting it, a sinister black line appeared on his face, and Hebo's concubine appeared.
But if he had summoned He Bo's concubine, Wang Sheng would only need to call her real name, which was so simple that it was outrageous.
Wang Sheng himself was also confused, but it didn't stop him from pretending. He could now be considered half a ghost master, and a ghost master who could take away other people's evil spirits.
Under Shi Ye's questioning, Wang Sheng told him the dream he had at that time. Combined with the barrier formed by He Bo's concubine and Wang Sheng after they looked at each other that night, Shi Ye had a vague idea why the evil ghost wanted to kill Wang Sheng as soon as he looked at him.
It is very likely that ordinary evil spirits can only feel that Wang Sheng has the method to free them from pain, but they mistakenly believe that they can be reborn as long as they kill Wang Sheng. However, He Boqie, as a high-level evil spirit, can be guided in the right direction.
As long as Wang Sheng looks at the ghost and what happened that night happens again, he can temporarily snatch the evil ghost refined by the ghost master.
But Wang Sheng himself didn't know how serious the matter was.
When he moved the plate over, Wang Sheng said generously, "You want to eat too? Take it."
Wang Sheng lazily leaned back against the table, gazing at the sky. He was plain-looking, not as handsome as Fang Zhitao had described him to be, but his eyes were surprisingly beautiful. The blue and white sky reflected in his eyes was almost mesmerizing.
"Mr. Wang."
"Um?"
Wang Sheng turned his head and looked at Shi Ye.
"Don't tell anyone about the matter of He Bo's concubine, or you will be killed."
Not only evil spirits, but also living people with ulterior motives.
"What about you?"
Shi Ye was stunned, "What?"
Wang Sheng: "Do you want to kill me? I can control Liang Ruoyan now."
Without waiting for the time to reply, Wang Sheng continued to turn his head and look at the sky. The eunuch flew over his head, then circled and landed, standing on his forehead.
Shi Ye looked at him, and said seriously, "No."
There was a rustling sound of clothes nearby, and Wang Sheng's eyes were covered by a shadow. The end of his ponytail brushed against his body. Shi Ye looked him up and down and said, "I will teach you to protect yourself. As long as you are by my side for one day, I will protect you."
Perhaps because the person before him was more dazzling than the sky, Wang Sheng turned his head and rubbed his eyes, laughing and saying, "I knew you weren't that kind of person, Master. So, did you feed me today, Grandpa?"
Shi Ye stood up and said, "No, the bird food is in my house." After that, he walked out with his sword on his back, and the tips of his ears seemed to be red. "I'll go check Fangjia Village again."
After the master left, the father-in-law kept calling out, "Bird food, bird food."
The father-in-law didn't care about them at all. He just heard the word "bird food" and started jumping around on Wang Sheng's face. Wang Sheng felt the pain and slapped it away.
Damn, don’t let him step on you and disfigure you.
.
On the afternoon of the day of the sacrificial ceremony, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the evening ceremony, Shi was called to the clan leader. Before leaving, Shi also gave Wang Sheng the son talisman from the mother-son talisman.
"I can hear the voice coming from Zifu. Keep it with you and call me if anything happens."
So powerful! Wang Sheng pinched the paper man, he didn't expect there was such a talisman, he had to learn it in the future.
At night, Wang Sheng was taken by Fang Die and Meng De to the statue. Many people from Fangjia Village had already arrived at the feet of the statue. They all knelt on the ground devoutly. Those who had children asked them to kneel and kowtow, praying that they would be chosen in the upcoming ceremony.
Fang Die and Meng De's only child was said to have ascended to heaven and become a child under the immortal's seat, so there was no bronze statue of their child in front of the statue. But they still knelt in it, hoping that the child would come back in their dreams to tell them whether they were well.
Wang Sheng placed the paper figure in his hand and blew it away. After the figure flew to the ground, Gulu turned over and climbed back into Wang Sheng's palm.
He stood against a tree outside the group, with a lantern hanging from the branches above his head.
Looking around, the open space was brightly lit by lanterns. The statue was too tall for any lantern to reach, but its smile was even deeper than it had been in the past few days.
Wang Sheng said to the paper figurine, "Master, where are you? I can't see you."
The paper figure on his chest jumped, and Wang Sheng's voice came from inside. A slender hand flattened the paper figure, and then voices rang out from both inside and outside the paper figure at the same time, "The clan leader is here!"
Everyone looked over and saw that the person walking in front was Cui Biwu, and Cui Ziyao was being led by him with fear on his face.
Following behind was the patriarch, and the one next to the patriarch was the most stunning.
The man was wearing a moon-white robe, complicated and ancient clothes, and his long hair was half tied up. He walked in the light. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was an immortal who had descended to Fangjia Village.
They walked to the front, and Cui Biwu and Cui Ziyao knelt down. The clan leader stood aside and said, "Today is the triennial sacrificial ceremony of our Fangjia Village. The divine messenger has come to our Fangjia Village today. It means that the statue has blessed us. The world is in chaos, but our people will be able to live in peace and happiness in this world!"
Everyone whispered and thanked God.
Someone handed him two halves of a cow horn. Shi Ye took them, stood in front of a nameplate with his name engraved on it on the ground, and threw it into the air. The cow horns fell down and landed in front of a sign.
The clan leader asked someone to come forward and turn over the sign, on which was Cui Ziyao's name.
