Chapter 295: Possessed
When Chu Runrun woke up again, she was awakened by a scream.
"Brother, what's that noise outside?"
"I don't know!" Ning Xuan frowned and shook his head.
Dahei leaned against the window like he was watching something interesting: "Master, that woman is possessed by evil spirits!"
Chu Runrun rubbed her eyes and looked outside, only to see Guo Hui's wife banging her head against the wall like a madman. No one could stop her, and her head was bleeding.
"Guo Hui, quickly pull your wife over!"
"Sun Lan, what are you doing? Stop it now! You're killing yourself!"
Guo Hui hurriedly pulled the woman, but when the woman turned around, her eyes were full of blood, as if she wanted to eat him.
That look...
Guo Hui's mind flashed with the image of his mother before her death, and he loosened his grip on Sun Lan's hand.
"Mother?"
Sun Lan suddenly broke free from Guo Hui and hit the wall. This time, she did not stand up again.
Guo Hui suddenly came back to his senses: "Sun Lan, Sun Lan, what's wrong with you?"
"She must be possessed by evil spirits. Go and get Mr. Li!"
As he was speaking, a man ran into the village.
Mr. Li is a famous Yin-Yang master in the village. Whenever someone dies, they ask him to perform a ritual and he personally finds the coffin bearers.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that something was wrong with Sun Lan's situation.
Chu Runrun looked at Sun Lan, who had fainted, in the room, and frowned slightly.
"Ruanruan, what happened to her?" Ning Changbo asked.
"It's true that he was possessed by an evil spirit, but I didn't see where the ghost was." Chu Ruanruan said.
"Ruanruan, look inside the mourning hall." Chu Qi said.
Chu Runrun followed Chu Qi's gaze and saw that the mourning hall was filled with gloomy energy and the corpse in the coffin had sat up at some point.
Everyone was paying attention to Sun Lan's situation, and before they noticed, the body had already sat up.
Soon, an old man in a gray cloth gown was invited over.
As soon as she saw the old man's attire, Chu Runrun thought of her grandfather.
Chu Ruanruan took out the talisman paper and distributed it to Ning Changbo and the others:
"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, let's go out and take a look. You guys take the talisman paper, everything should be fine."
Chu Runrun, Ning Xuan, Chu Qi and Ning Yu all walked out.
Ning Feng and Ning Zhi were leaning against the door, not afraid at all. They had talismans on them, which made them feel safer than anything else.
Mr. Li walked up to Sun Lan, lifted her eyelids, took a look, then frowned and said:
"It's true that he's possessed!"
At this moment, another scream was heard from inside the house.
Ruan Qingli's body had been lying beside the coffin at some point, head down and about to fall.
The people in the house were frightened and ran out.
"Mr. Li, what happened to my mother?" Guo Hui asked hurriedly.
Mr. Li glared at Guo Hui and said, "Your mother is still grieving and resentful, yet you still have the nerve to ask me, don't you know what you did?"
"I... I didn't do anything!" Guo Hui said guiltily.
Mr. Li snorted coldly and ignored Guo Hui. Instead, he walked into the house and gently placed Ruan Qingli's body in the coffin.
"Old lady, all the suffering and sins you endure in this life will be repaid in your next life as blessings. If you are unwilling to let go and take someone's life now, you will suffer again in your next life."
Mr. Li said this, and no one knew whether Ruan Qingli heard it or not, but she stopped moving anyway.
"This Mr. Li is quite capable!" Chu Qi said.
"Sister, do you know which sect he is from?" Chu Runrun asked.
"He didn't cast any spells, so it's not clear for now."
As soon as Chu Qi finished speaking, a copper coin appeared in Mr. Li's hand.
He pinched Sun Lan's mouth open and stuffed the copper coin in it, then took out a ball of red thread and wrapped it around Sun Lan's neck.
"Let's carry the person in first!" Mr. Li frowned.
"Mr. Li, how...is she?" Guo Hui asked hurriedly.
"It's okay for now, but whether she can wake up depends on whether the old lady forgives her." Mr. Li said unhappily.
"This...we didn't do anything, why is my mother still restless after her death?"
As soon as Guo Hui finished speaking, Mr. Li glared at him fiercely, and Guo Hui quickly shut up.
"Um...Mr. Li, could you tell me whether this funeral will be auspicious or inauspicious?"
Mr. Li didn't say much. He just took out a tortoise shell from his arms, made a hand gesture, and shook the tortoise shell gently, causing the copper coins inside to rustle.
After a while, Mr. Li opened his eyes and poured out the copper coins from the tortoise shell.
He stared at the hexagram and frowned: "This is a very bad omen!"
"What? Mr. Li, what do you mean?" Guo Hui was panicked.
"The old lady won't forgive you. Even if you are buried peacefully, she won't protect her descendants." Mr. Li said seriously.
"Why? I admit that I'm not that filial, but I didn't treat my mother badly when she was alive. I kept her well-fed and well-drinked every day!" Guo Hui said in panic.
"Since you didn't treat her harshly, that doesn't mean the problem lies here. Think about the reason yourself!"
Mr. Li was about to leave when Guo Hui quickly stopped him:
"Mr. Li, please give me some pointers. I really don't know what I did wrong!"
Mr. Li glanced at Guo Hui, then sighed and told another fortune.
"The three auspicious signs of Kai, Xiu and Sheng point to the east. If you want a way to survive, look to the east." said Mr. Li.
"East, east!"
Guo Hui turned around and finally fixed his gaze on the place directly east of him.
Chu Ruanruan and the others happened to be standing there.
"It's...it's them!" Guo Hui looked at Mr. Li for explanation.
Only then did Mr. Li notice Chu Ruanruan. There was something unusual about her aura. She wore a soul-nourishing bead around her neck, and the bracelet on her hand was also a magical weapon.
"Excuse me, young friend, what sect you belong to?" Mr. Li asked.
"Xiangmen Churuanruan."
"Xiangmen Chuqi."
Mr. Li's eyes flickered slightly: "You are from the Xiang family!"
"That's right, judging from the moves you just made, you are from the Liu Yao School." Chu Runrun said.
"Haha, I didn't expect that even after all these years of decline, there are still people who recognize our moves." Mr. Li laughed.
"Mr. Li, you're too modest. The Liu Yao School is well-versed in hexagram divination, feng shui, and astrology, and fortune-telling. I never expected to see this here. It's truly an eye-opener!"
Mr. Li's smile deepened. "My name is Li Daoyi. I am honored to meet you. May I speak to you privately?"
"It's my honor." Chu Ruanruan said with a smile.
"Please come this way!" Mr. Li was about to take Chu Runrun and the others away, but Guo Hui quickly stopped them.
"Um...niece, could you please help your uncle settle your aunt's matter first?"
"Uncle, you should now think about what you did to my aunt that made her hate you so much." Chu Ruanruan said.
“I really didn’t do it…”
Guo Hui paused mid-sentence: "Could it be..."
"You remember?"
Guo Hui looked at Chu Ruanruan with panic in his eyes: "No! No!"
