Gu Mingtai served her a bowl of rice and replied with a smile, "Third Auntie taught me how to cook. She said you liked these two dishes before, so I asked her to teach me. Come, try them!"
After saying that, he put a chicken leg into her bowl.
Zhang Meng smiled, took a bite, and immediately gave him a thumbs up, saying with a smile, "Delicious!"
Gu Mingtai immediately pursed his lips and smiled happily.
At this moment, Zhang Meng suddenly thought of the smell of Old Lady Zhang, so she immediately put down her chopsticks and looked seriously at Gu Mingtai, who was sitting opposite her. "Gu Mingtai, let me ask you something. You said that someone had a rancid smell on their body. What exactly is the reason for this?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Mingtai also put down his chopsticks and asked, "Who smells rotten?"
Zhang Meng immediately said, "It's Old Lady Zhang. Didn't I just come back from their house? Their house was filled with a foul smell, and the stench on Old Lady Zhang was even stronger, so I guess the stench was coming from her."
Gu Mingtai was silent for a moment, then quickly continued, "If this person has a foul smell, then he is dead. Only dead people will emit a foul smell many days after death."
Zhang Meng frowned and shook her head. "No way. That old lady Zhang is still alive. She just kicked me and Aunt Dahu out of the house. She can't be dead."
Hearing this, Gu Mingtai immediately touched his chin and said, "Let's go to Zhang Xiaohu's house tonight!"
Zhang Meng nodded immediately after hearing this. After the couple finished their meal, they took a half-hour walk in the village. It was getting dark very quickly.
When the moon rose in the sky, the young couple took advantage of the fact that everyone in the village was fast asleep and sneaked towards Zhang Xiaohu's house.
As soon as the young couple arrived at this house, they were immediately overwhelmed by the stench and felt like fainting.
"Why is the smell so bad? It's not this bad even during the day!" Zhang Meng said, covering his nose.
Gu Mingtai looked around, then suddenly took Zhang Meng's hand and walked to the side, saying, "Let's go over there!"
The young couple came to the door of a room that looked like a storage room. It was pitch black inside, and it was impossible to see what was going on inside.
However, Zhang Meng smelled a stronger stench of decay here.
"Gu Mingtai, the smell here seems to be even stronger!" Zhang Meng looked up at the man next to her and said.
Gu Mingtai nodded, holding her hand tightly, and said, "Stay with me."
Zhang Meng nodded.
At this moment, Gu Mingtai suddenly took out a flashlight from his pocket and gently pushed open the half-open wooden door. Immediately, a pungent stench wafted out from inside.
Even Zhang Meng, who was covering her nose, couldn't stand the stench.
At this moment, Gu Mingtai shone the flashlight in his hand inside, and a figure lying in the straw pile came into the eyes of the couple.
"There's someone here, Gu Mingtai!" Zhang Meng pulled his arm and said. Gu Mingtai held her hand tightly and walked towards the figure.
The couple quickly approached the person lying on the straw pile, and then saw the face of the person lying on the straw pile clearly.
Zhang Meng whispered in surprise, "Grandma Zhang!"
After shouting, Zhang Meng frowned immediately, "That's not right, why does she look so weird!"
"She died a long time ago!" Gu Mingtai said immediately.
Zhang Meng immediately raised her head and looked at him, "What did you say? She's already dead! How is that possible? Then what was she that I saw today?"
Gu Mingtai gently kicked Old Lady Zhang, who was lying on the haystack, and said coldly, "I once heard Master talk about the strange things he encountered while traveling, and one of them was exactly like what we are experiencing now."
Zhang Meng immediately pulled his arm anxiously, "Hurry up and tell me what's going on!"
"In this world, there are some very kind people who, because of their unwillingness to repent after death, eventually become evil-kind ghosts. If this kind of ghost attaches itself to a person's body, even the most powerful cultivators will find it difficult to see it clearly."
Zhang Meng clapped her hands, "So that's how it is. No wonder I couldn't see that Old Lady Zhang was dead during the day."
"That's not right, Gu Mingtai, then why is Old Lady Zhang lying here now?" After saying that, she also kicked Old Lady Zhang with her foot.
"If that evil spirit continues to possess the dead, it must return to the place where it was buried at night to absorb the moonlight, so that it can continue to possess the dead."
