Lightning bolts rolled across the sky, and now not only was the black zombie afraid, but Ma Hehua was also terrified. Without saying a word, she lifted her daughter above her head.
"Mom, come quick! This thing is really weird. It's safest under me." Ma Hehua frantically waved to her mother.
Ma Linghua didn't dare to delay and quickly hid under Ma Lihua's body.
Ma Lihua; "…………………………"
At that moment, she felt a chill in her heart. Oh well, she decided to face it with a smile. She believed that her grandmother and mother loved her.
Black Zombie didn't even want to glance at those women; he was not only extremely vicious, but also incredibly immoral.
"Snap! Snap! Snap!..."
The lightning struck the zombie mercilessly, billowing thick smoke and sparks, looking terrifying as the black zombie's body burst open like a brilliant firework.
The three of them watched with rapt attention, and sure enough, a few bolts of lightning seemed to strike them, but they somehow managed to deflect at Ma Lihua, which was... quite outrageous.
The lightning strike lasted for about ten minutes. It was fast and powerful, arriving and disappearing at the speed of light.
After the thunder, a torrential rain fell, and the black zombies were long gone, reduced to nothing.
"You're still too green to fight us. Let's call it a day." Ma Hehua was in high spirits.
However, the rain was so heavy that the group went into the cave to take shelter. The cave entrance didn't smell bad, and thankfully, Ma Hehua used the toilet inside the cave.
The cave was covered with green moss and some oddly shaped rocks, and the cave felt somewhat familiar.
"Damn it! Could this be the Fallen Flower Cave?" Ma Hehua's mood soured again. How come there are so many Fallen Flower Caves in the Miao Mountains of western Hunan? Aren't any of them the work of a female mountain god?
She always had some strange ideas in her mind, but this time she guessed wrong. This was a wolf demon cave, and the familiar smell was demonic energy.
The wolf demon huddled in the cave, afraid to release his demonic aura. The cave reeked of a strong stench of excrement, but he endured it.
So he listened to the conversation between the three members of the Ma family with trepidation.
"Grandma, what do we do with those three zombies in the Corpse Cave? Should we use the Heavenly Thunder Talisman to deal with them too?" Ma Hehua asked.
"No need. Just tie them up and we'll burn them with Yin Fire. Besides, we need to use the Heavenly Thunder Talisman sparingly!" Ma Linghua felt a little sorry for them, but she didn't say she didn't need it.
"Who drew the Thunder Talisman that day?" Ma Lihua asked curiously.
Logically speaking, none of the ancestors in the Ma family would have done such fancy things.
“Hey! It was drawn by Baiyun!” Ma Linghua said frankly.
Ma Lihua: "??????"
"Grandma, does Baiyun have hands?"
Ma Linghua was taken aback. Oh right! This white cloud is a snake! How did it draw the symbol?
"Hey! Doesn't Baiyun have a mouth? Maybe it was drawn with her mouth." Thinking about it, she found the talisman quite disgusting, and it might even be made from Baiyun's saliva.
White clouds; "……………………"
I'm a fucking demon, and you still doubt I have hands? Where's your intelligence? With your mouth? Wouldn't you get struck by lightning if you drew this Heavenly Thunder Talisman with your mouth?
"No way!" Ma Lihua didn't believe it this time; the power of this Heavenly Thunder Talisman was extraordinary!
"By the way, how many do we have left?" Ma Lihua asked.
“Hey! There’s plenty! But we have to be careful with it. Your grandpa and dad are getting old, and they can’t produce much blood anymore, so we should save as much as we can. If we really can’t save any more, we’ll just have to wait for our grandson-in-law,” Ma Linghua said with emotion.
Ma Lihua; "……………………"
Seeing that she didn't seem to understand the talisman very well, Ma Hehua immediately began to explain it to her.
“Our Ma family may not know it, but plenty of others do! The Ma family also has followers who are talented and extraordinary, and they know a lot of things.” Ma Hehua said this with some pride.
"And now?"
"Alas! The Taoist arts have declined, and everyone has gone off to pursue their own futures."
"Who told you that?" Ma Linghua looked at her with a gloomy expression.
Suddenly, Ma Hehua came to her senses. Had she... had she let something slip?
“This…isn’t this what you said, Mother?” Ma Hehua stammered.
"Lotus, the moment you lift your butt, I know what kind of shit you're going to take. Do you really think I believe what you're saying?" Ma Linghua's tone turned somewhat cold.
Ma Hehua was almost in tears; her mother's expression was truly terrifying.
"It was...it was my great-grandmother who told me!" Ma Hehua said, trembling.
"Hmph! It really was that old bitch. Why did Baiyun have to be soft-hearted when she killed her?" Ma Linghua's gaze darkened.
The Ma family was indeed glorious, with women in charge. However, some greed inevitably led to the transformation of their large family into a single-lineage clan.
The direct line of succession is clearly defined, and she is the legitimate direct descendant, but two not-so-bright heads of the Ma family have emerged above her.
One was her grandmother, and the other was her mother. Both of them were brainwashed and couldn't resist men. However, in order to ensure the continuation of the Ma family line, only the female generation was considered to have a noble status.
Despite the immense wealth of the Ma family, her grandmother favored sons over daughters. In an attempt to please men, she wanted to pass this treasure to her son. However, as expected, the Ma family's ancestral precept dictates that the inheritance should be passed down to daughters, not sons. Bai Yun received instructions from the Ma family's ancestor to clean house.
Needless to say, her mother was provided with good food and drink as she grew up, and for the sake of a man, she followed her grandmother's path. Before Baiyun could even make a move, she was shot to death in a hail of bullets.
The two of them were no match for Baiyun's skills in catching ghosts, so they didn't learn any of the core secret techniques.
Ma Linghua is different now. Not only is she unconventional, but she is also ruthless, extremely vengeful, and incredibly ambitious. She spent fifteen years in the Black Mountain, where she mastered all the skills to an unparalleled degree.
Not only did they defeat all the monsters in Black Mountain, they also secretly peeked at the various great horrors sealed within Black Mountain.
"How long ago was that?" Ma Linghua asked her coldly.
“When I was seven…seven years old!” Ma Hehua dared not hide the truth.
"Hmph! Didn't she ruin everything? She squandered her last bit of strength for a scumbag. But she's still somewhat useful, she gave birth to my mother, and my mother is somewhat useful too, she gave birth to me." Ma Linghua didn't want her little darling to know, but for the sake of the Ma family's future, she still had to let her know some things.
The atmosphere inside the cave was particularly oppressive. Ma Lihua listened intently as her grandmother recounted events from a distant past.
The rain outside continued to fall in a drizzle. It was midnight, and the cold wind at the cave entrance kept blowing, but the rain showed no signs of letting up.
Meanwhile, Xiaodi Village in the Miao Mountains was unusually lively, with every household lighting candles, because something had happened again during the night.
After Granny Ma left, two women went missing in the village: Wu Laoyao's wife and Wu Laosan's daughter, around nine o'clock.
Everyone stayed up all night. Some suspected that Yunzhi was responsible, saying that the witch doctor had started harming the villagers.
Yunzhi stayed in her room all night and didn't go out, but sweat kept pouring down her forehead.
The monster that appeared in the village in the middle of the night frightened her Gu worms, making them restless.
