Chapter 120: Gathering Yin and Darkness
"Yeah, I saw the village elders running to the ancestral temple these days. What happened?"
"Could it be that our ancestors are resurrecting?"
The conversation between you and me made the village chief's eyebrows twitch uncontrollably.
"Okay, I'll take care of this, you all go back."
"Really, we don't need to invite a master to perform a ritual?"
"Need not!"
After the village chief sent the suspicious villagers away, he glanced at Feng Tianning and the other two who were silent, and with a sullen face, he pulled Zhang Laosan into the room.
"Give me what you took from the ancestral temple."
A hint of reluctance flashed across Zhang Laosan's face, and he reluctantly took out a jade ring from his arms.
"I just want to sell this so I can get married in the future."
"I'm almost forty years old, and I'm in this desolate mountain area. Where can I find a wife and have children?"
"Village Chief, could you please not take this jade ring away?"
The village chief sighed helplessly, put the jade ring in his pocket, and sternly refused:
"It's because of this thing that you're being entangled. Not only that, but you also need to return whatever Chen Si took from the ancestral temple, otherwise you will all die."
Zhang Laosan's face turned pale in an instant, and he said with some doubt:
"Village Chief, you must be lying. It's just a ring, how could it be so useful?"
"Village chief, you don't want to take it all for yourself, do you?"
The village chief was so angry that he kicked him and his lips trembled for a long time without saying a word.
He took a deep breath and threw the jade ring to Zhang Laosan.
"If you don't believe me, I'll take the things back myself. I don't want to get involved in this mess."
Zhang Laosan was doubtful for a moment, but immediately put on a smile on his face, picked up the ring and put it in the palm of the village chief's hand in a flattering manner.
"How dare I not believe you? I just feel a little reluctant to let her go. After all, this is my wife Ben."
The village chief snorted coldly and glanced outside the house:
"Aren't there three ready-made ones out there? You, Chen Si, and Zhao Xiaohei are the only ones in the village who haven't married yet. You didn't seize the good opportunity I gave you yesterday."
A trace of regret also flashed across Zhang Laosan's face.
It's not that he didn't understand what the village chief meant, but the woman was very vigilant. She didn't sleep in the middle of the night and was sneaking around outside, doing no one knew what she was doing.
He didn't even have a chance to make a move.
Besides, marrying such a restless woman would be a disaster. He was attracted by the girl who lived in the village chief's house yesterday. She was quiet and looked gentle and virtuous.
She is beautiful, has a good temper, and most importantly, looks fertile. Such a person is worthy of being married home and having a few more children. Just thinking about it makes Zhang Laosan laugh.
The village chief naturally understood what he meant and said with a light cough:
"Send over the things you took, and then you can pick any of the three outside."
Zhang Laosan's eyes lit up instantly, he nodded hurriedly, and patted his chest to promise that he would go find Chen Si immediately.
Looking at his leaving back, the village chief sighed helplessly.
He has devoted his entire life to this village and will never let anyone destroy the peace of the village.
Zhang Laosan and his friends just want a wife, which is also human nature.
Now that Feng Tianning and the others have come to their doorstep, they are destined to never leave Anle Village.
The village chief was still thinking about it when he heard a scream from outside.
He was startled and hurried out to check, only to find Zhang Laosan lying on the ground, covering his arm in pain.
“Save me!”
Zhang Laosan's lips were trembling and he could hardly utter a complete sentence.
Xuan Gou Chen snorted coldly and lowered his body to look at him.
"I heard you want to attack us?"
"Why, do you want to continue attacking?"
In Zhang Laosan's eyes, her smile was even scarier than that of a devil.
"Ouch, what happened?"
The village chief was stunned for a moment and hurriedly helped Zhang Laosan up.
Xuan Gou Chen snorted coldly:
"He tried to do something to us, but we're already letting him off easy by cutting off one of his arms."
"Exactly. Normally, in situations like this, we would just throw him into the open sea to feed the fish. This time, he got off easy."
The village chief pointed at them tremblingly and took a long time to say the word "you".
"You are breaking the law!"
Fu Ruxuan sneered:
"Breaking the law? I don't think there's any law in Anle Village anymore."
"Why didn't you mention that it was illegal when you wanted the three of us to stay?"
A trace of panic flashed across the village chief's face.
"You're talking nonsense!"
"You know whether you are talking nonsense or not."
Seeing that the time was almost right, Feng Tianning came up from behind and showed his ID.
"We are detectives from the Kyoto Special Case Team and we are here to investigate your Anle Village."
"I already know what's inside your ancestral temple. Now you'd better cooperate with us."
The village chief carefully looked at her ID for a long time, and after a moment of silence, he called all the villagers in.
"These people are pretending to be police officers, let's arrest them!"
The village chief's prestige in Anle Village was extremely high, and his words were almost universally echoed. The villagers immediately rushed forward to try to capture the three of them.
"Teleportation."
As soon as a talisman burned out, the three of them instantly appeared more than ten meters away.
The villagers were also frightened by the scene and stood still, not daring to move.
After all, they had never seen anyone teleport away.
Feng Tianning's gaze fell on the jade ring on the village chief's hand.
"This ring of yours is a Yin-gathering device. It can gather all the Yin energy from the entire mountain into one place. It is specifically used to raise corpses."
"If you keep wearing it like this, you won't survive the night."
Feng Tianning was not trying to scare people. How could anyone possibly withstand such a strong corpse aura?
Not to mention those purple zombies, this ring alone is enough to kill an ordinary person.
"Zhang Laosan, ever since you got this ring back, have you been feeling like you're being possessed by a ghost every night? You're conscious but can't move, and you wake up the next morning feeling dizzy and listless?"
"Is your vision becoming increasingly blurry?"
Zhang Laosan's face turned pale. What Feng Tianning said was exactly the same as his condition in the past few days. He initially thought that he was just too tired, but when she said that today, Zhang Laosan suddenly felt like he had bumped into something.
He knelt down in front of Feng Tianning with tears in his eyes:
"Master, please save me!"
"If I give the jade ring to the village chief, will I be able to survive?"
Feng Tianning didn't say anything, but looked at the village chief standing at the door.
At this moment, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his body was shaking slightly, and his eyes were full of fear as he looked at Feng Tianning.
Feeling that the looks of the villagers around him were becoming increasingly strange, the village chief gritted his teeth and pulled Feng Tianning, Chen Si, and Zhang Laosan into the house.
