You Hui nodded, "We know, don't worry, we will be careful."
"Instead of discussing a harmless ghost here, why not continue discussing why this person became like this?"
Zhang Meng interrupted them both.
The two of them looked over at her. Zhang Meng pointed in the direction where the Ghost King Aye had just left. "If I'm not mistaken, the ghost who just left should know the answer you're looking for."
You Hui immediately said, "I'll go out and find it."
The thoughtful old man opened his mouth, but finally closed it.
You Hui, who had been out for a while, fell back with a look of frustration. He walked up to Zhang Meng with a helpless look and said, "Comrade Zhang Meng, I may need your help with this matter. The Ghost King ignored me. No matter how I asked it, it wouldn't speak. I really have no choice but to ask it."
Zhang Meng nodded, "I understand. You guys wait here for a moment. I'll go out and talk to it."
You Hui immediately expressed his gratitude, "Thank you very much!"
Zhang Meng walked out quickly and found Aye Ghost King who was sitting in the car humming.
"Hey, come out, we have something to ask you." Zhang Meng shouted at him who was making a fuss in the car.
"No, I'm not going anywhere."
Aye Ghost King turned his head to the side.
Zhang Meng smiled and called out again, "Come out. Once this matter is settled, I'll get you something to eat."
Aye Ghost King immediately pursed his lips. He was really hungry. "Really? You're not lying to me?"
Zhang Meng laughed, "Do I, Zhang Meng, look like someone who can fool ghosts? Can I come out?"
Just as she finished her words, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of her. "What are you doing?"
Aye Ghost King still asked with an awkward look on his face.
Zhang Meng laughed and said, "Do you know the situation of the person inside? Tell us!"
The Ghost King Aye's expression immediately turned a little unhappy. He turned around and glanced inside, then whispered, "I advise you to leave this matter alone. That demon is not to be trifled with. It's an ancient demon, older than me. Even if all of you were combined, you wouldn't be a match for it. I advise you to hurry up and leave."
Zhang Meng's brows immediately furrowed. "We can't leave. Now that we've come here and encountered this evil spirit, as cultivators, we naturally have to get rid of it."
Seeing this, the Ghost King Aye sighed, "Alright, since I can't persuade you, I have no choice but to sacrifice my life to accompany you. You want to know what happened to that man, right? Well, I'll tell you, this man wasn't sucked of blood by the scorpion. On the contrary, he's possessed by the scorpion. And his face doesn't look like he's short of blood at all. On the contrary, it's very rosy, which means this man is just an empty shell used by the scorpion to possess spirits."
Zhang Meng's expression changed, and she immediately walked in. When she ran in, the person inside had already woken up.
The concerned old men were surrounding the man and asking him all sorts of questions.
But the man looked like he knew nothing. He just stared around and didn't respond at all to the questions from the old man and others.
Zhang Meng immediately shouted at them, "Don't get close to him, he's no longer human."
Gu Mingtai, who had felt something was wrong early on, did not approach the man. When he heard Zhang Meng's words, he immediately took two steps back, picked up the Buddhist beads in one hand and took out a peach wood sword in the other, staring at the man sitting on the bed with a serious face.
The old man looked at Zhang Meng in confusion, "Comrade Zhang Meng, what do you mean by this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man suddenly felt something heavy hitting his chest, and he flew away.
The old man flew in the air for a while and then fell to the ground. He felt a fishy and sweet taste in his mouth, and another mouthful of blood sprayed on the ground.
The man sitting on the ground slowly stood up, twisting his neck hard.
His neck seemed to be rusty, making a creaking sound, and the head made a 360-degree rotation, which was terrifying to watch.
Fortunately, when Zhang Meng reminded them, the three brothers and sisters of Youhui quickly took a few steps back, thus avoiding the same fate as the old man Youxin.
However, when the three brothers and sisters saw the middle-aged man's appearance, they were so scared that they dared not look away.
Seeing that the three brothers and sisters looked like fools, Zhang Meng cursed loudly, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and take out your weapons to deal with the enemy."
As soon as he finished shouting, Zhang Meng quickly took out a piece of lightning-struck wood from his hand and stabbed it into the middle-aged man's body.
The middle-aged man screamed in pain, and his whole body made crackling sounds as if it was on fire.
The middle-aged man's eyes immediately turned bloodshot, and he roared viciously at Zhang Meng.
Along with its roar, the crackling sound on its body also stopped.
The middle-aged man was breathing heavily at Zhang Meng, and he looked so ferocious that it seemed as if he would pounce on her at any time and cut her into pieces.
Zhang Meng was startled and quickly lowered her head to take out five or six talisman papers from her backpack and held them in her hands.
Before she could throw it, a figure rushed towards the middle-aged man faster than her.
Gu Mingtai rushed over and wrapped the Buddhist beads in his hand around the middle-aged man's neck, reciting the Heart Sutra quickly.
The Buddhist beads wrapped around the middle-aged man's neck immediately emitted a golden light, as if countless x characters were pressing down on the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man screamed in pain, and his whole body seemed to be bathed in this layer of golden light.
Gu Mingtai didn't think that he could kill an ancient ghost in this way. While the ghost was subdued by the power of the Buddhist beads, he immediately stabbed the peach wood sword in his hand towards its heart.
The middle-aged man who was holding his neck and screaming in pain suddenly stopped screaming. The bloodshot eyes became even darker red as he stared fixedly at the peach wood sword that was stabbing towards him.
Gu Mingtai, who was stabbing forward, was stunned and had a bad feeling in his heart.
