Chapter 127 The Villagers Will All Die
"Alright, alright, please, Master."
At this moment, Yu's father came out of the room and was surprised to see Yu Xiaoluo. Tu Chunyan gave him a brief introduction, but he was also not very trusting.
Yu Xiaolu went through the entire house. Although there were some places with unreasonable feng shui, none of them were enough to cause such a serious and bizarre incident of eating raw meat.
But this wasn't just happening in their family; other people in the village were experiencing the same thing.
She frowned as she looked at the dark aura emanating from the foreheads of Yu's mother and father. If this evil aura wasn't removed, they wouldn't live more than three days. What could be causing this dark aura to entangle them?
Removing the dark aura from them is easy, but to eradicate it completely, we still need to find the cause.
She pondered for a moment, "Could you call over all those people who sleepwalk at night?"
The two siblings nodded. "Okay, we'll go call them."
So they split up to move faster.
Before long, almost everyone was called over, except for two who lived outside and were too afraid to return to the village.
When everyone saw that this "master" was so young and a woman, they whispered among themselves, all thinking they were frauds. One of the men, who was about forty years old, shouted, "Have you all been fooled? Have you ever seen such a young Taoist master, and a woman at that?"
Yu Liang was the first to get upset. Although Yu Xiaoluo didn't say anything, he had a short temper and wouldn't tolerate others. "Have you ever seen a scammer call so many of you over? Do you think they'll give you more money? If you have cell phones, go and check who the head of our Yu Family Metaphysics Hall is. If you're not happy, leave. If you're happy and want to get rid of the curse on you, stay."
Some people actually pulled out their phones and started searching, their expressions turning friendly as they said, "He really is a very powerful metaphysical master, the last disciple of the Xuyue Temple."
The arrogant middle-aged man fell silent. Several women said, "Master, please save us. We are really afraid to fall asleep. We don't know what we might do if we do."
"Yes, Master, I can't fall down, my child is only two years old."
"Master, please save my husband! He almost bit me to death last time, and I'm terrified every night now."
Indeed, as long as there is someone in the family suffering from such a strange disease, then the family will never have peace. Everyone will be on edge and very afraid.
Yu Xiaolu coughed. "Tell me, who among you was the first to fall ill? Third Brother, please write down the date."
Yu Liang took out paper and pen and wrote down the date of their first onset of illness. After finishing the record, he handed it to Yu Xiaoluo.
Yu Xiaoluo glanced at it and said, "The earliest two people were ten days ago. Tell me, what happened in your village ten days ago? There can be no hiding anything."
They exchanged a glance, hesitant. Tu Chunyan sensed something was amiss. "Mom, what exactly happened in the village ten days ago? Tell us! How can the master possibly resolve this if we don't? Is there anything more important than life itself?"
At this point, a woman in her forties stammered, "Ten days ago, something did happen—something did happen."
The man beside her, who seemed to be her husband, shouted, "Don't say it!"
The woman snapped, "What kind of time is this to not be able to speak up? We didn't kill anyone, so why are we all being made to bear this guilt! If you want to end up looking like a monster, then you can suffer the consequences yourself! I still have two children to take care of!"
This time, she spoke much more clearly, as if she had made up her mind. "Ten days ago, a man and a woman came. They should be a couple. The woman's belly was a little big, but not very obvious. She was probably three or four months pregnant. They came here for a vacation to relax."
"I don't know why they came to our village for tourism. Although the scenery here is nice, it's not a tourist area, and not many people come here usually. The man said he likes this kind of undeveloped natural scenery. Anyway, he really likes the scenery here. Maybe his wife was feeling a bit down, so he brought her here to cheer her up."
"They rented the village chief's house, intending to stay for a few days. After putting their luggage down, they went hiking on the mountain behind the village. Unexpectedly, they encountered some thugs from the village—"
Just then, a shout came from outside, "Shut up!"
Immediately, a man in his sixties with gray hair but in good spirits entered, his face stern. "What are you doing? Don't you know that gathering in a crowd is illegal? Go back now!"
The middle-aged woman's courage, which had been so strong just moments before, suddenly vanished because of the man's arrival. She murmured, "Village chief, we're bewitched. Now a master has come, and we want to ask her for help."
The village chief shouted, "Where is the master?"
He spotted two young faces in the crowd, snorted, and said, "Two greenhorns, calling themselves masters? You're welcome. Disperse. I've already invited a real master."
At this moment, a man in his forties or fifties, dressed in a blue robe with a half-beard and a dignified appearance, appeared from behind him. The village chief introduced him to them, "This is Master Yao."
The Yao family? Yu Xiaoluo looked at Master Yao and saw that he did look somewhat like Yao Qingfeng, so they might be related by blood.
Yao Ziming glanced disdainfully at Yu Xiaoluo and Yu Liang, and said contemptuously, "These days, anyone can come out and scam you—"
Tu Chunyan quickly explained, "No, no, this master may be young, but he's very skilled. They have a branch in the city—"
Before she could finish speaking, the village chief interrupted her, "Alright, everyone go back now. I'll handle this."
Under the village chief's watchful gaze, everyone had no choice but to leave. After all, they also needed to make a living in the village and didn't want to offend the village chief.
After everyone had left, the village chief said, "Old Tu, watch your words."
After saying that, he strode away.
Yu Xiaoming then closed the door and asked his parents seriously, "Dad, Mom, what happened? Is this related to the village chief?"
Yu's mother opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but Yu's father glared at her and shut her up, saying, "We can't afford to offend the village chief."
If Yu Xiaoluo doesn't demonstrate her strength now, this matter could lead to the loss of many lives. Now that she knows about it, she can't ignore it.
“Aunt and Uncle, ten days ago, weren’t there two deaths in your village? No, to be precise, three. If this matter isn’t resolved, your entire village will be wiped out within three days.”
