Chapter 27
The man was so frightened that his legs began to weaken. When the family members on the ground saw this scene, they forgot to cry and just stood there in a daze.
When the clan leader saw Shi Ye making a move, he frowned and said with some displeasure, "Master Shi, what are you doing? We respect you as our guests, yet you draw your sword against us?"
Shi Ye ignored him and just stared coldly at the man under the sword. The man finally reacted and quickly retreated, completely losing his previous clamoring attitude.
Wang Sheng suddenly rushed between the two parties, waving his hands to act as a peacemaker, "Everyone, please calm down, calm down. It's too hurtful to use knives and swords. Master, quickly, put them away." He gave a look and put away the sword.
"But in this matter, it is indeed this old man's fault." Just now at the patriarch's house, it was this man who shouted the loudest. If you didn't know, you would think Fang Tu was his real brother.
"Did anyone see with their own eyes that it was Xiao Tao who killed Fang Tu?"
Wang Sheng's words stumped everyone. The person who said he saw Fang Zhitao in the middle of the night only said that he saw Fang Zhitao coming back from the direction of Fang Tu's house, but did not say that he saw Fang Zhitao kill someone.
Wang Sheng then said, "Besides, Fang Tu is a grown man. How old is Xiao Tao? Could it be that Fang Tu can't even protect a child?"
Many people here came here on impulse, but now that they think it is indeed the case, they hesitate for a moment.
Cui Ziyao also stood up at this time, put his hands on his hips and said, "Didn't they say that Madam Qiu can't stay in crowded places, otherwise she will get sick? Come on, get them out."
The servants of the Cui family looked at each other, wanting to go forward but not daring to. Cui Ziyao stomped his feet and said, "I'll go and explain to my father myself. Anyone who doesn't listen to me will be beaten!"
Cui Ziyao had already said this, so the servants gritted their teeth and had no choice but to drive everyone out, including the clan leader. The clan leader was mercilessly driven out, losing all face.
He gritted his teeth, a sinister glint in his eyes. This little bastard, he'll definitely teach him a lesson on the day of the sacrificial ceremony!
But at this time he could only flee with his people, not daring to say a word.
After everyone left, Wang Sheng gave Cui Ziyao a thumbs-up. Shi Ye quietly put Wu Men away. Wang Sheng folded his arms, bent down to look at him, and jokingly said, "I thought you wouldn't care about this."
This man would kill any evil ghost he saw, and his pockets were already full of ghosts, but he never expected that he would actually take action for a half-living person this time.
Tokiya snorted, "Let's put things in perspective."
Wang Sheng raised his eyebrows, curled his lips, then turned to look at Fang Zhitao. He also moved a little further away, somewhat unnaturally, and stood at the door.
Someone was looking at Cui Ziyao. Cui Ziyao realized that it was Fang Zhitao who was looking at him. His face flushed instantly. He hurriedly explained, "Don't look at me. I didn't drive them away for you. You, you witch! I still remember that it was you who did it that night!"
"Tsk, why are you so mean to girls?" Wang Sheng pushed Cui Ziyao away and waved his hand. Fang Zhitao let go of the hand that had been holding the corner of his clothes and walked out.
Seeing Fang Zhitao being so obedient, Wang Sheng felt a little sad. Why was such an obedient child only half-human?
"Xiao Tao, even though we have driven everyone away, I still want you to answer me in person, did you kill Fang Tu?" Only they knew that Fang Zhitao was half human and half ghost, so it was not impossible that he killed Fang Tu.
Fang Zhitao stood there obediently, her tone still light, "No."
Wang Sheng asked again: "Were you the one who trapped me that night?"
"I'm sleeping."
Wang Sheng was close enough to see Fang Zhitao's sinister expression through the veil. He stood up straight, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a colorful windmill on a bamboo basket.
"I knew it wasn't you. Take good care of your mother. We'll come visit you later."
He also shouted to Shi: "Master, let's go back and eat. I'm starving."
Wang Sheng rubbed his belly and walked out holding Cui Ziyao's head with one hand. Cui Ziyao slapped his hand away angrily, "Don't touch my head, you won't grow taller!"
Inside the house, Fang Zhitao stood mechanically in the dark, staring at their backs without blinking.
Someone walked around her and said, "Wang Sheng helped you, but you lied to him."
Fang Zhitao turned her head slowly and looked at the man carrying a sword. She let out a small laugh, giggling, like a young girl in her prime, and then stopped abruptly.
She came to the table and sat down. She reached out and took the windmill off the bamboo basket and started to spin it with her hand. "Give it to you, give it to you, give it to my handsome brother."
.
At night, someone was walking furtively down the road from the patriarch's house, holding him in his arms, his chest bulging. He would occasionally glance behind him to see if anyone was following him, and hurried home at a very fast pace.
Not long after, he suddenly saw someone standing at the intersection ahead. He couldn't see clearly, so he stopped and rubbed his eyes. Then he walked over cautiously and asked, "Who's standing there?"
As the distance got closer, a child with two braids appeared in front of this man. She was facing away from him, and her shadow on the ground was cast at an angle. He could see that she was holding a windmill in her hand, which was turning with the night wind.
The man sensed something was wrong and stopped unconsciously.
The child's head slowly turned until it turned behind him. He fell directly to the ground and said tremblingly: "Fang Zhitao! Ghost, ghost!" A bag of silver fell from his arms, and he didn't dare to pick it up. He just wanted to run as fast as possible, the farther the better.
Fang Zhitao was not wearing a veil and was running towards the man with the windmill held in front of his chest. The man looked back while running and saw that Fang Zhitao was behind him in the blink of an eye. He didn't look at the road and stepped on a stone and fell down.
"Da, da, da." Fang Zhitao smiled at him. The corners of her mouth were wider than a normal person's, stretching all the way to the back of her ears. Her huge pupils were not covered by her eyelids, staring at him nakedly.
And her shadow on the ground gradually split into two, three, four, and swam to the man, completely enveloping him. The man screamed heartbreakingly and called for help, but no one around heard the noise.
Just as the ghost was about to cover his last eyes, a clear voice rang out from the rooftop next to him, "Thunder, break!"
Lightning like a small snake struck the man with a crackling sound. Although the power was small, it did work.
Wang Sheng squatted on the roof, looking at his hands in surprise, "Master, did you see that? I actually activated the Thunder Talisman!"
He had only recommended himself to recite the talisman with a try-it-out attitude, but he hadn't expected it to be successful. This really upset Wang Sheng. He raised his chin and looked at Shi Ye. So, did you still say he had poor talent?
Shi Ye poured cold water on him: "You haven't even matched one tenth of my power, why are you so proud?"
Wang Sheng licked his lower lip and once again pinched a new talisman behind Shi Ye, pretending to recite it. Didn't he say it was small? Then he would see if it hurt when he hit Shi Ye.
However, he had the desire but not the courage, so he pretended not to hear what was said and went on happily to study the talisman.
"Wait here, don't move, no one will catch you if you fall." Shi Ye pulled out Wu Men and jumped down. The man on the ground was the one who instigated everyone to cause trouble for Fang Zhitao during the day.
He was now rolling his eyes, holding his throat and struggling like a dead fish. He had been fed a little smelted copper and his throat had long been burned.
Fang Zhitao was a little surprised to see that it was Wang Sheng and the others. She frantically controlled the other ghosts in her body to rush towards Shi Ye and kill them. Unexpectedly, Shi Ye chopped them with a sword, and the ghosts instantly dissipated and returned to Fang Zhitao's body, hiding and not daring to go out.
She knew he was powerful, but she didn't know he was this powerful. Fang Zhitao had been living in Fangjia Village, hiding her identity for three years. She finally had the opportunity to meet Cui Biwu, the culprit, when he came to Fangjia Village.
She originally wanted to destroy Cui Biwu's heart bit by bit and then kill him, but now it seems that Shi Ye is standing in the way, and her Taoism is still inadequate and she cannot deal with Shi Ye.
Her face changed, and all the ghosts in her body came out at once, hovering in the air, pressing down on Shi. There were also a few strands of gold wrapped in them, like refined copper.
Shi Ye tapped his toes lightly and avoided the attack. Before he could stand firm, the next wave swept over. Wherever those ghosts passed, no grass grew. Bits of copper fell to the ground, shining brighter than the stars in the sky.
Wang Sheng hid behind the beam and observed the battle. When he saw it, he also glided away from the group of ghosts with ease. The sin bell on the hilt of the Wumen sword suddenly rang, and the ghosts were shaken by just one sound.
Fang Zhitao squatted down with her ears covered in pain. Shi Ye took out the small gourd bottle given by Shen Xianzhi, opened it and sprinkled Meng Po soup on Fang Zhitao. She didn't have time to take care of her headache, and she lay on the ground in agony.
She felt the ghost tearing away from her body, just like when Qiuli peeled off her skin. She cried and stretched out her hands to Wang Sheng, begging him to save her.
"Brother, brother..."
Seeing Fang Zhitao begging for help, Wang Sheng struggled internally and softened his heart. But Fang Zhitao had killed someone, and Shi had also said that once she killed someone, she was no longer a human being.
The windmill fell to the ground and was covered in mud. Wang Sheng clenched his fists and stood up. He wanted to shout but withdrew his hands first. Fang Zhitao was in such a state that she could no longer hurt anyone. Unexpectedly, he was pushed by something, his feet slipped, and he rolled down from the roof.
"Mr. Wang!"
Shi Ye saw this scene and almost had a cardiac arrest. He rushed over quickly and caught Wang Sheng from mid-air.
Wang Sheng thought he was going to fall flat on his face, but Shi Ye caught him firmly. After Wang Sheng stood firmly, Shi Ye let him go with a stern look on his face, "What's wrong with you? Can't you even stand properly?"
"No, someone pushed me!"
Damn, who attacked him?! Who attacked him from behind and killed his descendants?
Someone came up to Fang Zhitao and stood beside him, a smile on his face. He looked at them in a friendly manner and said, "My two young friends, I'm Meng Yi. Hello."
He lifted Fang Zhitao up, and countless black air was still coming out of her body. Meng Yi clicked his tongue twice and said, "I really didn't expect that there was a half-lifer in Fangjia Village. I didn't find her after hiding for so long. My two friends, I have a great use for this half-lifer. Why don't you let me take her?"
The man kept calling me "young friend" and looked to be in his forties. Wang Sheng saw that he also knew about the existence of Banshengren, so he said, "Could it be that you are also a ghost hunter? Oh, I see. You were the one who spied on us in the dark on the first day we came here, right?"
