Chapter 188 Something Happened
Tu Shanyue nodded, "So that's how it is."
Li Zhi hummed, then continued, "During this period, except for the living people in the team responsible for sending away the evil spirits, everyone else must stay away to avoid colliding with the dead."
Tu Shanyue understood, "No wonder when we came here, the village was closed and no one was seen."
Li Zhi looked at the team that was about to go away, and just as he was about to look away, he saw a woman in mourning clothes suddenly rush out and catch up with the team in front.
It seems that they are the family members of the deceased.
"Hey, wait!"
The man who was leading the shaman dance frowned and was forced to stop, raising his hand to stop the entire team.
He looked at the woman who appeared and said with an unhappy expression: "What's wrong? Didn't I tell you not to go out during this period?"
The woman's eyes were filled with fear. She handed the bracelet in her hand to him and said softly, "Village Chief, I just found out that there is another bracelet in this relic, so I thought of giving it to you. Otherwise, what if something happens if something is missing..."
The village chief took the bracelet and urged, "That's enough, go back quickly."
"Hey." The woman responded, and without staying for long, she turned around and trotted away.
The village chief looked at the woman leaving, turned back, walked to the wooden board in the middle of the team, stopped, and placed the bracelet in his hand on it.
Then, he returned to the front of the team, waved his hand, and shouted, "Keep going!"
The team that received the instructions set off immediately, some beating gongs, some beating drums, some scattering things, and continued to walk slowly towards the village entrance.
"Master Li, since we can't sleep now anyway, why don't we follow and take a look?" Tu Shanyue suggested.
Before Li Zhi could say no, he pulled her, opened the door, and walked out.
“…”
The two followed all the way out of the village, stood on the rocks in the dark, and looked at the team that stopped at the beach.
Sure enough, it was just as Li Zhi said.
The village chief placed the deceased's belongings into a basin prepared in advance and then lit it with a match.
As the flames in the basin rose, the village chief immediately began to dance around the brazier again, and the people around him began to scatter paper money and talismans.
Just when everyone thought it was going to end smoothly, the fire burning in the basin suddenly went out.
When everyone saw this, they stopped where they were, with ugly expressions on their faces. It was obvious that they did not expect such an accident to happen.
This thing hasn't even finished burning yet, but the fire went out without any wind. This is not a good sign.
"Village Chief, what's going on here...?"
"Could it be that he bumped into something when he was delivering the bracelet just now?"
"Village Chief, what should we do now?"
The village chief frowned and said in a deep voice, "Go ahead and light it up again."
"Oh, okay."
After relighting the fire, everyone continued the ceremony of sending away evil spirits.
Fortunately, nothing happened this time. After burning everything successfully, he immediately poured the ashes in the basin into the sea.
......
Li Zhi and Tu Shanyue, who were hiding not far away, naturally saw the whole process.
Tu Shanyue raised an eyebrow. "There wasn't a breath of wind just now, how did the fire go out? Could it be that the woman who gave the bracelet suddenly showed up and interrupted the team? Did she really mess with something?"
Li Zhi turned her head to look in the direction of the village and jumped down from the reef lightly. "Something must have happened. Let's go back to the deceased's home in the village to check."
Tu Shanyue responded and followed her quickly towards the village.
Halfway along the road, I saw the woman who had given me the bracelet holding a kitchen knife and chopping at the man who was so scared that his legs were weak on the ground.
The man scrambled to avoid the fatal blow, "Ahhh! Don't come over here!"
"Don't kill me, help, is there anyone?"
"Liu Fu's wife killed someone!"
The woman had no expression on her face and her eyes were dull, as if she were a walking corpse.
The villagers around who heard the noise first looked out the window to see what was happening outside. When they saw what was going on, they opened the door and ran out of their homes.
At this time, their attention was all on the woman and the man, and they did not notice Li Zhi, Tu Shanyue and others.
"Oh my God, what's going on?"
"Why does it look like you're possessed?"
"What are you still standing there for? Help! He's the village chief's son!"
Several strong men immediately rushed forward to stop the woman.
But she was unexpectedly so strong that she broke free from them in one go and continued to chop at the man on the ground.
Seeing the knife about to fall towards him again, the man could no longer bear the shock. His eyes turned black and he fainted with a scream.
Li Zhi immediately raised his hand and used his spiritual power to draw a golden talisman out of thin air, which hit the woman directly.
The ghost possessing the woman was instantly knocked out of her body.
The female ghost looked up at Li Zhi, a hint of fear flashed in her eyes, and she quickly disappeared on the spot.
Li Zhi did not try to stop her. The moment she was beaten, she noticed the marks on her neck and knew that she was the deceased.
The villagers naturally couldn't see the female ghost, but they knew that a golden light suddenly flashed before their eyes, and the next moment, the woman fell to the ground with her eyes closed, and the knife in her hand fell to the ground with a clang.
They were stunned for a moment, then reacted and quickly stepped forward to pick up the knife on the ground, and then helped the two people lying on the ground to sit up.
At this time, the village chief and his group who were responsible for sending away the evil spirits also returned.
"What are you doing? Didn't you tell me not to go out tonight?!"
The surrounding villagers heard the sound and scattered to both sides. They turned their heads and looked over, and started talking at once.
"Village Chief, Liu Fu's wife just tried to kill your Abin!"
"Yeah, it's so scary. It seems Liu Fu's wife is possessed by an evil spirit."
"The three of us grown men weren't as strong as her. She just threw us away."
"I don't know why, but Liu Fu's wife suddenly fainted just now."
"Ouch, I just saw a flash of golden light. Was my eyes dazzled?"
"I saw it too!"
The village chief's pupils suddenly contracted when he heard this. His gaze fell on his unconscious son who was being helped up to sit up on the ground, and he hurriedly strode over.
"What the hell is going on?"
"We didn't know either. We just heard your Ah Bin yelling 'murder'."
"Yes, and then I ran out quickly, and saw Liu Fu's wife holding a kitchen knife and trying to chop your A Bin."
"Here, village chief, this is the kitchen knife."
The village chief glanced at the kitchen knife handed to him, then retracted his gaze and looked at Liu Fu's wife lying on the ground. His eyes moved slightly, as if he thought of something, and his face looked quite ugly.
"When we were sending away the evil spirit, Liu Fu's wife suddenly ran over and interrupted us. Could it be that she bumped into something at that time?" Someone in the team suddenly spoke up.
