Su Yao: ...
It's really boring to repeatedly prove that someone is a fool.
"Zhou Qilin, what are you crazy about! I asked my sister to come and help find Yuyan, don't slander my sister! Otherwise I will be rude to you!" Su Ziyun protected Su Yao.
"Enough! If you don't have the ability to investigate the case, just shut up!" Zhou Lingyu shouted loudly and asked Zhou Qilin to wait in the car first to prevent him from continuing to interfere with the investigation.
Not long after, Fubao quickly went up to the second floor, walked into the house and said, "Sister, I have verified that the stolen burial objects are in the cellar."
Su Yao looked at the village chief.
He looked dejected as he looked at his unconscious son and began to tell the story of Li Jie's tomb robbery.
"Fengyin Village was called Xinglin Village a long time ago. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces a river on one side. In the mountains stands a dilapidated land temple, and behind the temple stands a solitary grave. No one has ever dared to approach it."
"Speak clearly, from beginning to end, don't miss a word."
The village chief wiped away his tears and said in a hoarse voice, "That grave... is said to be the burial place of the landlord's third concubine. The landlord's surname was Lu."
"My grandfather told me that the woman died suddenly the same night she got married at the age of eighteen. The Lu family was afraid she would die with regret, so they found a red coffin to seal her soul and buried her with gold and silver jewelry to prevent her from feeling resentful in her afterlife. But I heard her death was horrific. Her eyes were wide open and her face was purple, as if she had been poisoned."
"Did your son rob that lonely grave just for money?" Su Yao asked.
"He's into gambling."
The village chief lowered his head, not daring to look at her. "He lost all his savings! He even lost the 100,000 yuan betrothal gift he promised to give to my mother-in-law. That betrothal gift was all my savings!"
"A month ago, I advised him not to move the grave... but he still went behind the land temple in the middle of the night and pried open the coffin."
"The burial objects he brought back were all hidden in the cellar."
"But those burial objects look wrong. The gold bracelets, jade hairpins, earrings... they're all reddish-black, like they're stained with blood. I want to burn them, but I'm afraid... I'm afraid she'll come after me if I do."
Su Yao remained silent. The village chief continued, "From the next day, Li Jie started to have a fever. He said in his dream, someone was pressing on his chest, making it hard for him to breathe. Someone's face was pressed against his, and it was wet..."
"Have you ever hired a Taoist priest?"
"Yes, we invited Taoist Master Jia from Fengyin Mountain and set up a soul-soothing formation. But that night, the mountain was covered in fog, the talisman paper was soaked, and not even a single incense stick could be lit. Before we even finished setting up the formation, Li Jie started convulsing all over, shouting, 'Don't bite me, don't lick my ears'... That wasn't an illness; he was possessed by a female ghost."
"Has anyone seen that female ghost?" Su Yao asked softly.
"There's a blind old woman at the east end of the village. Ten nights ago, she dreamed of a red coffin being carried into the village entrance. The woman inside the coffin was crying, saying, 'I'm not willing to give up. I haven't gotten married yet.'"
Su Yao pondered for a moment, took out a black lacquered wooden talisman from his waist, chanted a spell in a low voice, and a wisp of green smoke floated out from his fingertips, instantly turning into a guiding light, pointing directly in the direction of the land temple.
"Let's go to the land temple."
…
The land temple was in a desolate state, with half of the altar collapsed and only a handful of cold ash left in the incense burner.
Su Yao stood in front of the temple and said, "The blood has not yet dissipated, and the remaining soul is wandering."
"You mean... the female ghost is nearby?" The village chief's face was full of horror.
Su Ziyun swallowed the Wuxiang Pill and now had the ability to see Yin and Yang. He could sense the surrounding Yin energy and the black air coming from the temple. "Sister, that red coffin is still causing trouble!"
She walked around to the back of the temple and saw a lonely grave lying quietly on the hillside.
The coffin was cracked, with one corner turned out, and broken pieces of gold and jade were scattered outside, like a torn wedding dress, making a slight tinkling sound when the wind blew.
She squatted down and took out a piece of hair from the crack, which was as red as ink.
He whispered, "This isn't human hair, it's deadly resentment."
At this moment, thick fog rose quietly and the surroundings suddenly became cold.
"Someone is crying..." The village chief trembled all over and his voice almost broke.
Su Yao looked at Su Ziyun and said calmly, "I'll give you a chance to perform."
Those books I read should have some effect.
"Sister, leave it to me!" His eyes darkened slightly, and he slapped the ground with his palm. Green talismans floated out and quickly formed an array around him.
Just as the last corner was laid, the coffin moved with a creaking sound.
The cracked coffin lid was suddenly lifted up, and a woman in a bright red wedding dress and a phoenix crown on her head slowly sat up.
Her face was ashen, her eyes were wide open, and the corners of her mouth were drawn in a strange arc. Her bright red wedding dress was dripping with water, as if it had been fished out from the bottom of a lake.
"You're finally here." The voice was cold, filled with longing and resentment.
"I'm not him. It was you who harmed Li Jie?" Su Ziyun asked.
"Li Jie..." the ghost woman repeated in a low voice, then suddenly grinned, "He stole my burial objects and refused to marry me. How can I forgive him?"
She flashed and pounced on the village chief!
Su Ziyun pinched his fingers together and chanted: "Command to calm the soul, and return the spirit to the earth!"
A golden talisman turned into a light net and instantly covered the female ghost in red. She screamed suddenly and her body struggled frantically in the light net.
"You should be in the underworld, don't bother anyone anymore." He took out the Seven-Star Soul-Subduing Nail and pointed it at the red coffin.
Pain and resentment flashed in the ghost girl's eyes: "He promised to marry me immediately after taking the burial objects, but he ran away!"
"You died on your wedding night, but Li Jie wasn't the groom. He stole your burial objects. We will bring him to justice and give you justice."
"I don't believe it!" she screamed.
In an instant, she smiled strangely and eerily again, tilting her neck and giggling, "Li Jie will die soon... He will be here to accompany me, and I won't be lonely anymore."
