Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but roll my eyes. It seemed this kid was really torn.
I immediately said in an annoyed tone:
"You really think you can pretend to be an elephant just by stuffing two scallions in your nose? Even if you're wearing Zhong Kui's costume, you don't even have one-millionth of Zhong Kui's power. Of course, you wouldn't be able to fight back against this extremely ferocious thing."
"Is that so?" Luo Tianhe stared at me suspiciously, then realized:
"What the hell?! Are you calling me a pig?!"
We talked in hushed tones. I looked up at the trembling villagers around me, while Luo Tianhe was already rolling up his sleeves, ready to teach me a lesson.
"Be serious, the villagers are still watching. This ritual to send off evil spirits is not yet complete, so don't let your guard down."
I gave a low shout, then turned to the villagers who were trying to escape:
"Cheer up, everyone! Things have come to this point, there's no turning back for us!"
A villager, his legs trembling and his voice shaking, spoke:
"Master, we've already come this far, can't you walk the rest of the way by yourself? I really can't go on anymore, I want to go home and change my pants."
It was only then that I noticed his crotch was completely soaked.
This coward actually peed his pants in fear; he's even more pathetic than the village chief.
Thinking of this, I looked back in the direction where the village chief had been and found that the old man was still lying on the ground, not yet able to get up.
Well, the village chief is still more embarrassing.
After all, being scared into peeing doesn't necessarily mean extreme fear. It could also mean that you were holding it in for a while but didn't dare to pee, and then couldn't hold it in due to a strong stimulus.
The villagers who stepped forward clearly felt extremely ashamed.
Suddenly my eyes lit up as I looked at the fit young man:
"By the way, are you married?"
The young man shook his head hesitantly.
"Then there's no need to change it. Besides, a child's urine can ward off evil spirits!"
I made my decision, and then looked at the trembling villagers. They had only been trapped in a maze, and although they hadn't suffered much harm, they seemed much more terrified than Li Huai and Luo Tianhe.
Upon seeing this, I couldn't help but angrily exclaim:
"You bunch of useless trash! That evil spirit killed people from your village. Logically speaking, the three of us, Luo Tianhe and Li Huai, have no reason to meddle in your affairs!"
"Moreover, the attack by Zong Xie just now was clearly aimed at the three of us, as well as Ge Wang. He's quite old and has no children, grandchildren, relatives, or elders. The reason he came all this way is entirely for you!"
"They were almost strangled to death just now, and now you still want to send off the evil spirits? Look at the state of you all, such cowards! If this ritual can't be done, then don't do it!"
As I cursed, the villagers all showed expressions of shame, and those who had received my favors had their eyes redden.
The village chief was still gripped by fear. Even though I scolded him and made him lower his head, he didn't stand up and say anything, which disappointed me.
"Master, we were wrong, let's continue."
A man who had buried his wife during the day stepped forward and spoke.
"The worst that can happen is death. After that, I can finally go down to see my mother!"
Another burly man stepped forward and said through gritted teeth.
Among these funeral processions, there were only people whose families had been harmed by the evil spirits, who hated the evil spirits to the core, and who were grateful to me.
Or they're either hot-blooded young men.
They were indeed frightened just now, but after I gave them a good scolding, they all stood up.
Only the village chief is a real coward.
I went to the village chief, helped him up, and whispered:
"By the way, don't think that sending your wife and kids to the city will solve everything. We're from the city, and let me tell you, the strange things that happen there are no less bizarre than here!"
"And your wife, children, and parents, they have the yin energy of being possessed by evil spirits, making them more susceptible to attracting ghosts than ordinary people."
The village chief's eyes immediately turned red. His legs were still shaking, but after I said that, he was able to stand up with difficulty.
He gave a wry smile and said:
“Master, I know you mean well, but I’m terrified of ghosts. I’m going all out today. If I die, and you can kill that thing, then bring my wife and children back. If you can’t, then leave them in the city.”
Even though I said that, he still felt that no matter how scary the city was, it was still much better than the village haunted by evil spirits.
I patted him on the shoulder and comforted him:
"Don't worry, we'll definitely be able to get her out of here tonight."
Having gone through this interlude, we continued with the funeral rites.
But strange things kept happening on the journey.
The roadside weeds swayed without wind, as if vengeful ghosts from hell were dragging us down to join them.
Scattered whispers could be heard from the darkness beside me from time to time.
Those whose families had died heard the words of their deceased relatives and wanted to lead them away along this path, so they followed them into the darkness.
Some villagers even started shouting at each other, calling the villagers next to them evil spirits, and almost came to blows.
I had to frequently use the Heart-Cleansing Mantra and the Spirit-Soothing Talisman just to barely keep the team stable.
I am physically and mentally exhausted from the journey.
Luo Tianhe, who plays Zhong Kui, is also extremely exhausted. Although the journey is not too long, he has to do all sorts of actions to clear the way.
It's fortunate that he played the role of Zhong Kui; if it were me, I would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.
Finally, we could barely make out the outline of the river mouth, and we could faintly hear the sound of flowing water.
Suddenly, everyone in the funeral procession had a gleam in their eyes and felt a sense of lightness throughout their bodies.
But I became extremely vigilant.
The closer they get to success, the more intense the Zong Xie's counterattack becomes!
Seeing the relaxed crowd, I suddenly shouted:
"Don't relax, stay alert! All of Zong Xie's tricks will be revealed in the coming days!"
"That's right, don't let your guard down, everyone hold on, we'll be done with the ceremony soon!"
Old man Ge Wang also shouted.
Hearing us both say that, the villagers dared not relax in the slightest and became alert, watching their surroundings warily.
Soon we arrived at the last stretch of dirt road in front of the river mouth, where the rushing river was right in front of us.
Almost done!
But did that evil spirit have no other means? There weren't any unusual phenomena just now.
The moment this thought crossed my mind, the entire procession, including myself, Luo Tianhe, Ge Wang, and Li Huai, was caught in the crossfire.
Suddenly, everyone's shadows began to move!
