Chapter 133 In the Name of the Father
"Burn the devil."
Qi Chong's expression became uglier than hers: "Lili became a burnt ghost? But wasn't she beaten to death?"
Xu Nanan asked anxiously: "What is a burnt ghost? Could it be that Lili's soul was burned by fire?"
Qi Chong explained solemnly, "That's not what I mean. A burnt ghost is someone who was burned to death alive. This way of death is extremely painful, especially if the victim suffered inhuman abuse before death and was burned alive. The endless pain and resentment will turn her into an evil ghost..."
"Master Shen, has Lili turned into a demon?"
Chen Wan nodded: "Almost exactly."
"only……"
Shen Wan looked at the village chief.
"If Lili turns into a demon, she will definitely not let go of the people who killed her. It is impossible for her to keep these people alive until now."
"Besides, it seems that she disappeared before she even started to do evil."
Shen Wan counted with his fingers, his face darkened slightly, and he asked the village chief: "After Lili died, have any outsiders come to the village?"
The village chief was still shaking in pain, his pale and twisted face said, "I've been here..."
"An old man passed by the village and bought my daughter's ashes for 2,000 yuan..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Nanan once again couldn't control himself and grabbed the whip and lashed hard.
He cursed as he beat the cigarette: "You are not a human being!"
"Lili is your own daughter, you beat her, burned her to death, and even took her ashes. Two thousand yuan! You sold her ashes to someone else for two thousand yuan!"
The village chief rolled on the ground in pain, not realizing his mistake at all.
"I'll just sell it, so what?"
"Can the ashes be used as food or as ash on the wall?"
“Two thousand dollars is a lot!”
"Ah...ah! Stop hitting me! She's been dead for more than ten years. She won't come back even if you go crazy!"
Xu Nan'an put down the whip, knelt down in front of Shen Wan, and begged with tears:
"Master Shen, I am willing to pay any amount of money as long as you can help me find Lili's soul!"
Qi Chong glanced at Chen Wan, who remained silent, and went to pull him.
"Brother, you get up first. This is not that easy."
"The reason why Lili's soul is not in Shili Village is because her ashes were taken away from her hometown."
"Now none of us knows who that Taoist priest who passed by was, and it's been more than ten years since the incident..."
Xu Nanan felt uncomfortable after hearing this, and he shook off Qi Chong's hand. He looked at Chen Wan stubbornly with red eyes, his eyes full of pleading.
"Captain Qi is right. Lili's soul has left Shili Village along with her ashes."
Shen Wan said: "It's not easy to find her in this situation."
Hearing this, Xu Nanan thought there was no hope at all. He collapsed to the ground in despair, and the light in his eyes suddenly went out.
Chen Wan added: "But it's not completely impossible."
The light in Xu Nan'an's eyes rekindled, "No matter what the price is, I'm willing to pay it!"
"One way is to have a ghost marriage between the two of you..."
Shen Wan’s words were not finished yet.
Xu Nanan said excitedly: "I do!"
Chen Wan: “…”
"Don't worry, there is another way. You can summon your blood relatives in the name of your father."
Her sharp gaze fell on the village chief.
The village chief realized that they wanted to ask him something, so he endured the pain and got up, then continued to ask:
"If you want me to help you, you have to let me go and take good care of me!"
Xu Nan'an didn't want to ask this kind of person for help at all, and flatly refused, "Master Shen, let's have a ghost marriage!"
Chen Wan stared at the village chief and said, "I think it's better to do it in the name of the father."
"Why?" Xu Nan'an didn't understand. "Lili was killed by this old man. Why are you still asking him for help?"
"Master Shen, don't agree to his request. People like him should pay a heavy price."
Qi Chong held Xu Nan'an and whispered, "Don't worry. Master Shen's temper will not make it easy for this old man."
If Chen Wan was that kind of saint, she would not watch Shili Village being washed away by mudslides and hundreds of lives being wiped out in an instant.
She must have her reasons for doing this.
"I'll take good care of you, okay."
Shen Wan smiled slightly, life and death are unpredictable.
The village chief immediately raised an excessive demand, "I want you to burn mountains of gold and silver for me every month! I also want a big villa, a luxury car, and a few more beautiful maids to serve me..."
He made a series of requests.
If you don't enjoy yourself enough when you are alive, you should indulge yourself even more after you die.
Shen Wan agreed verbally while setting up the soul-summoning formation with his hands.
"Okay, just stand in the middle of the magic circle."
The village chief was skeptical and refused to go in. "You're not going to kill me, are you?"
Qi Chong said unhappily, "You are already dead, how can I take your life?"
"Who knows what conspiracy you have planned to harm me...ah!"
The village chief hasn't reacted yet.
Shen Wan pushed him in directly, "Go!"
"Set up the formation!"
Before the village chief could stand firmly, the magic circle suddenly burst into flames.
"No, don't burn me!"
"it hurts!"
The raging flames formed a circle that trapped him tightly inside.
The village chief felt a burning sensation all over his limbs, which was a hundred times more painful than being whipped!
“Help—”
"it hurts!!"
Seeing the village chief's desperate struggle, his already damaged face was almost burned and melted, becoming even more distorted and terrifying.
"Master Shen, what are you doing?" Qi Chong had never seen such a spirit-summoning posture.
"This isn't summoning spirits, this is punishing him, right?"
Shen Wan said calmly: "It is a summons and also a punishment."
"In the name of my father, I summoned the souls of my blood relatives. How can I not pay a painful price?"
She chuckled and saw the village chief's soul power being burned into the air by the flames and gradually condensed in mid-air.
"Wang Lili, soul, come back——"
Shen Wan shouted.
A gust of cold wind suddenly blew up out of nowhere and directly blew out the fire in the magic circle.
The village chief just breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly.
A pair of charred and shriveled hands stretched out from nowhere and grabbed his neck.
"Ah!" The village chief was shocked and struggled rapidly.
The pair of charred hands squeezed him tightly, getting tighter and tighter.
He was clearly dead, but now he could clearly feel the fear of suffocation.
The feeling of death loomed.
“Lili!”
Xu Nanan recognized the gold ring on the charred finger at a glance, and he shouted almost out of control.
“Lili!!”
The hands trembled slightly, but ignored him and continued to strangle the village chief's neck.
The village chief's neck was pinched into an abnormal angle and his head drooped limply.
"Wang Lili." Shen Wan called her name, "I don't know who took you away, but this is a good time for you to break free from that person's restraints."
Wang Lili's ghost was reluctant to show up, only her charred hands came out.
