He chuckled to himself and turned to walk towards his home.
As he approached his doorstep, just as he was about to cross the threshold, a familiar figure caught his attention—it was his neighbor, Su Dongmei, whose face was ashen and whose forehead was dark, as if shrouded in an ominous shadow.
Liu Feng's heart tightened as memories of his past life flooded back.
He remembered that Su Dongmei's husband, Liu Xingyong, a normally honest and simple man, suddenly contracted a strange illness and became mentally unstable. In the middle of the night, he even set fire to his own house.
A perfectly good house for a family of four was burned down overnight, leaving only ruins and wisps of smoke.
A few days later, Liu Xingyong hanged himself, leaving Su Dongmei and their two children alone and destitute.
Looking back now, it was definitely not caused by a simple illness. Liu Feng suddenly felt a sense of foreboding, as if it had happened just today…
He immediately released his divine sense, keeping a close eye on the movements there.
As night deepened, the village lights gradually went out, leaving only the rustling sound of the breeze through the treetops echoing in the silence.
Liu Feng sat in the room, meditating with his eyes closed, but his divine sense, like an invisible net, enveloped everything in Su Dongmei's house.
At midnight, Liu Feng's divine sense detected a chilling aura emanating from Liu Xingyong's room.
He was startled and immediately opened his eyes, only to find a cloud of black energy swirling around Liu Xingyong.
The black mist was icy cold and filled with an evil aura, as if it wanted to devour everything.
Liu Xingyong's expression became dazed, his eyes lifeless, as if he were being controlled by some kind of force.
He stood up stiffly and staggered toward the kitchen.
Liu Feng's heart leaped into his throat; he knew that if he didn't stop it in time, the tragedy would repeat itself.
Liu Xingyong stiffly picked up the firewood and lit the fire. The flames spread instantly, and the firewood in the kitchen quickly caught fire.
"Something's definitely wrong!" Liu Feng's heart skipped a beat. He quickly got up, pushed open the door, and went out.
As he ran, he secretly circulated his spiritual energy, ready to deal with any unexpected situation. He passed through the courtyard wall and arrived at Su Dongmei's house. He saw that the kitchen window was already showing signs of fire.
"Second sister-in-law, wake up! Fire! Fire!" Liu Feng pounded on Su Dongmei's door, his voice urgent and anxious.
Soon, Su Dongmei was awakened. She hurriedly opened the door and asked with a blank expression, "Liu Feng, what happened?"
"Second Brother has a mental breakdown! Quickly wake everyone up to put out the fire!" Liu Feng said anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Su Dongmei looked towards the kitchen and saw flames already burning. Her face turned deathly pale with fright, and she immediately shouted, "Fire! Someone, come quick!"
She shouted loudly as she turned and rushed into the room, waking the two children. Then, carrying their clothes, she quickly ran out.
The villagers were alarmed and rushed out of their homes.
Several strong young men quickly arrived, and Liu Feng had already pulled Liu Xingyong out of the kitchen.
By this time, the fire had spread rapidly. They quickly worked together to fight the fire while tying Liu Xingyong to a large tree near the entrance.
After some effort, the fire was finally extinguished. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and only half of the kitchen was destroyed.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, only to find Liu Xingyong struggling like a madman, muttering words that no one could understand.
Seeing this, some elderly people shook their heads and sighed, "He's been possessed by a ghost!"
Liu Xingyong's parents and older brother rushed over and surrounded him, their eyes filled with worry and despair.
In the past six months, Liu Xingyong has been irritable and manic at times, as if he had become a completely different person.
On one occasion, he even got into a physical fight with Su Dongmei, and the two had a big argument that became known to everyone.
Their family members also noticed Liu Xingyong's abnormal behavior and tried to find a doctor for treatment.
They even invited a Taoist priest to secretly perform rituals, but the condition did not improve; in fact, it got worse.
Seeing this, Liu Feng had an idea and stepped forward to carefully check Liu Xingyong's condition.
He noticed that Liu Xingyong's eyes were vacant, his face was as pale as paper, and his body was unusually cold.
Based on the various signs he observed, Liu Feng concluded that Liu Xingyong was possessed by an evil spirit.
"Strange, where did this evil spirit come from?"
