"It must be that witch doctor that Grandpa Bean adopted, it must be her!" Wu Laoyao roared at his mother.
The elderly woman slightly opened her eyes. "Youngest son, it's not her."
"Mother, why are you siding with her? Have you been bewitched by her too?" Wu Laoyao was getting agitated. His wife had been married to him for three years, and he had never hit or scolded her, so it was impossible for her to walk alone in the middle of the night.
Wu Laoyao's mother silently took something out of her pocket; in the candlelight, the thing gleamed silver.
Wu Laoyao asked in confusion, "What is this? Mother, why are you giving me this thing?"
"I found this where Yingzi left. Take a good look and see what it is!"
Hearing his mother's words, Wu Laoyao calmed down a bit, took it in his hand and examined it repeatedly, and found that it was a scale.
Moreover, the scales were large and hard, and Wu Laoyao was even accidentally scratched by them, which shows that the scales were very sharp.
Wu Laosan also found a scale in his daughter's room.
The shameful incident spread like wildfire throughout the village, and several village elders, along with the missing person's family, got together.
Wu Laoyao and Wu Laosan placed the shiny scales together on an old wooden table.
The elders' expressions changed upon seeing this. These were snake scales, and they were so big. This snake might have become a spirit.
"These are snake scales. They're so big. This might be a snake that has become a spirit. Judging from the scales, it's probably a white snake."
"A snake... Could it be that my wife was taken away by a snake?" Old Wu was heartbroken!
"Don't rush, let's talk about it when Xiaodouzi comes back. He has inherited the true teachings of Seventh Uncle and may know some information. Moreover, he may still be alive."
Hearing the elder's words, the two men didn't shout or yell, but they were both heartbroken. This was their family!
Here, Little Bean, swaying and panting, finally found Ma Linghua and the others. It must be said, Little Bean does have some skills on this mountain.
After watching the black zombie turn into a pile of black ash, he breathed a sigh of relief. Then he led the group to the corpse-hiding cave, where three motionless zombies were tied up.
"Do you want us to cremate them or seal them away?" Ma Linghua asked.
Ma Lihua; "??????"
How do they seal it? They probably don't have that secret method, right? But if her grandmother could mention it, there must be a way.
"Let's seal them if we can! These three were once highly respected elders in our village. If we use fire, they'll probably have a hard time reincarnating. We can only try to dissipate their corpse energy and see if they can enter the cycle of reincarnation normally." Little Bean sighed wearily.
“Okay!” Then, Ma Linghua took out a lot of corpse-suppressing talismans from her pocket and instructed Xiaodouzi, “These are corpse-suppressing talismans, valid for fifty years. As long as you stick them on their heads, they will not come out to cause trouble again. Replace them every fifty years.”
Looking at the talisman her grandmother took out, she fell silent for a moment. Wasn't this Uncle Er Ma's corpse-suppressing talisman?
Erma; "??????"
That's so unethical! How could he steal something like that? What a waste of that meal! This talisman wasn't just any ordinary talisman; he hid it in the card holder. How could it have been stolen?
That was one of his life-saving charms!
Old Deng: [“Ha! What’s this? She even took the relics. You only have a few pieces of paper.”]
Little Bean's eyes lit up, and he immediately put away the six talismans.
Afterwards, he put the body back in its original place in the burial cave. After thinking about it, he closed the cave door when he returned, and that would allow him to have peace for several more decades.
"Find a feng shui master to change the feng shui of this burial site, and there won't be any more corpses turning into zombies," Ma Linghua instructed him.
Little Bean looked pale and sickly. Hire a feng shui master? That sounds nice, but they can't afford it.
On their way home, they passed a few Taoist priests. Ma Hehua thought these people were just tourists and nothing more.
Li Huanghe suffered a heavy loss, losing five comrades. This time, he experienced a deep sense of self-blame and despair.
Zhang Xiaomo curled his lip. What was this? His captain was completely dead; he was lucky to have survived.
Around 2 p.m., the people on the tea mountain had all left. As soon as they reached the village entrance, they saw several people waiting there in the heavy rain.
"Grandpa Bean, hurry, come with us to the clan ancestral hall." Old Wu was extremely anxious.
Looking at the expressions on their faces, Xiaodouzi's heart skipped a beat. Had something happened again?
He thought he should tell the three members of the Ma family to go back and rest first, as he had something to take care of. But when he looked back, the Ma family members were nowhere to be seen; they had already left.
Back in their room, the three of them collapsed into bed and fell asleep immediately. They were so tired; staying up all night was something no human could do.
Upon arriving at the clan hall, one would see all the clan elders present.
"What happened?" Little Bean asked gravely.
“Look at these two scales.”
Little Bean's expression suddenly narrowed. "Where was this found?"
"It was found at Wu Laoyao's and Wu Laosan's houses. All the women in their families had disappeared, and this snake scale was found where they had disappeared."
Little Bean took the bean in his hand, glanced at it, and then said, "Go, fetch a basin of water."
Wu Laoyao quickly fetched a basin of water, and Xiaodouzi threw two scales into the water. Soon, the scales emitted a strong, fishy stench in the room.
Five minutes later, a greasy substance appeared on the surface of the water basin, and the scales became even more fishy and smelly, with a strong snake stench assaulting everyone's nostrils.
“That beast is in heat,” Little Bean said calmly.
"Have you heard of Lady White Snake?" Xiaodouzi's tone became serious at this moment.
