After Peiqin was forced out, Yueniang collapsed weakly.
The zombie's spirit continued to crash into Yue Niang's body, trying to take it back.
Bi Xie frowned slightly, formed a hand seal, and Pei Qin's spirit continued to rush forward, but it was as if it was blocked by a layer of tempered glass and bounced back.
Bi Xie helped Yue Niang into the house. Hearing the old woman still asking questions with concern, he kicked Cao Cheng to make her answer. Cao Cheng cursed the old man in his heart, but considering Bi Xie's feelings, he patiently coaxed the old woman into quiet.
Once the courtyard quieted down, Cao Cheng looked worriedly at the hideous scratches on his body: "Immortal Master, you just said that Peiqin has become a zombie. I was scratched by a zombie. Will I also become a zombie? Or be poisoned by a zombie? Immortal Master, your Taoist magic is profound. You must save me."
Bi Xie sneered: "You won't die before you get to Full Moon Village."
Cao Cheng didn't understand the meaning behind her words and was afraid that she would abandon him once she arrived at Manyue Village, but Bi Xie had already turned her head away and ignored him.
He was both angry and anxious, revealing his fierce side behind Bi Xie, but he couldn't do anything about her. This little Taoist priest acted entirely on her own whim, her moods were unpredictable, and her morality was hard to discern, making her unfathomable.
Remembering there was still some glutinous rice porridge in the kitchen, he gritted his teeth, hurriedly covered his wound, and ran to the kitchen.
Bi Xie sighed as she looked at the green zombie's soul. After death, it was turned into a zombie and thus transcended the Six Realms. She could not guide its soul into the Underworld, but could only use her magic to prevent it from recklessly crashing into the spiritual energy barrier. "Even if you want to take revenge on him, you shouldn't do it this way. If you continue to occupy his wife's body, his wife will be tainted by your corpse energy and die with a shortened lifespan."
After Cao Cheng finished spreading the glutinous rice, he came out and saw Bi Xie talking to himself in the air. His heart tightened and a chill ran up from the soles of his feet. Pei Qin... Pei Qin was right in front of him?
The pure Taoist magic gradually calmed Peiqin down from her manic and irrational state, and the green light in her eyes gradually dimmed.
The spirit body became more transparent due to the pure Dao power eroding it from repeatedly crashing into the spiritual energy shield.
“I’m just not reconciled. I married him when I was fifteen, served him every meal, and bore him children. How could he be so cruel… how could he kill us all after I became pregnant again? My father treated him so well, passing on his skills to him and treating him like his own son. How could he bear to do this? I hate him so much, I hate him so much!”
Bi Xie couldn't comfort her.
After she finished venting, she said softly, "I've met the wrong person in this life, but in the next life... I hope I'll meet a good one."
"Immortal Master, I have no next life." Her heartbreak was written all over her face.
"Yes, although zombies cannot reincarnate, as long as they absorb the essence of the sun and moon to cultivate into flying zombies, they can be unafraid of the sun, possess a human-like physique, and live for a very, very long time, through many lifetimes..."
Peiqin stared blankly at her, as if she saw a future she longed for. After a long while, she turned her gaze to Cao Cheng, trembling with hatred. "But I still hate him. I wish I could tear him apart and chop him into mincemeat."
"He will get his comeuppance." Bi Xie deliberately lowered his voice when he said this.
Cao Cheng didn't hear it, but Pei Qin did. She paused for a moment, then choked up and said to her, "Thank you, Immortal Master."
Bi Xie then asked, "The night attack on Full Moon Village by a hundred ghosts, was that your doing? What is this 'evil path' that Cao Cheng mentioned?"
Peiqin nodded: "It was our doing. They've already taken their revenge and gone back to the cemetery in the back mountain. Only I followed Cao Cheng here. Cao Cheng is right, that evil cultivator came to our village three years ago. The other immortal masters all know that, but there's one thing: they didn't use paper money to worship us. That evil cultivator made them perform a blood sacrifice for us every ten days or so—"
"But the purpose of that blood was not to sacrifice us, but to sacrifice an evil entity. We were able to escape this time because that evil entity awakened. The evil energy in the back mountain was soaring, which helped us break through a layer of confinement and our souls escaped. However, our bodies are still suppressed by talismans."
What a coincidence! She never expected that after leaving Liangyi Mountain, she would still accidentally learn about the secrets of Manyue Village.
She told Peiqin to go back to Manyue Village first, and before dawn, she had Cao Cheng take her there.
According to Peiqin, the more than one hundred villagers in Manyue Village may not have simply lost their souls from fright, but may have all died.

Two days later at dusk, Bi Xie saw the legendary Full Moon Village.
The Taoist priests probably hadn't arrived yet. The village was silent. The setting sun shone on the houses, its warm orange light devoid of any warmth. As soon as Cao Cheng entered the village, he felt a chilling wind. His face turned pale, and he hid behind Bi Xie, feeling that the wound on his back was hurting even more.
The first house at the entrance of the village had its door wide open, the brass rings on the door rattling in the cold wind. Bi Xie immediately saw the corpse lying on the ground in front of the main room. The bloodstains had dried, and the old man, who was nearly fifty years old, lay on the ground with his eyes wide open. The body had long since gone cold, and his face still showed the struggle and fear he had felt before his death.
The one who killed him was a little girl with a bun hairstyle, holding a kitchen knife. Her childish face still held the resentment she felt before her death, and she had been dead for a long time.
ah--
"Village chief, village chief..."
Cao Cheng screamed in terror, his legs rooted to the spot, refusing to move forward. "Daoist Master, I've already shown you the way. Please let me go. I don't want to die. I don't want to die."
"Please proceed, Master Cao."
Bi Xie glanced at his cowardly appearance and gave a cold laugh, letting him run out of the village in a panic.
Peiqin floated out of the village, glanced at Cao Cheng who had escaped, and then at the corpse in front of the main room. "This is the village chief's house. After we died innocently, the men in the village quickly remarried and had children. This little girl was the village chief's adopted granddaughter. The village chief probably hoped she would take care of him in his old age. That night, she was possessed and killed by the spirits of the village chief's wife, daughter, and granddaughter—"
Bi Xie stared silently at the gruesome wounds on the village chief's corpse. Although he knew he deserved his fate and that it was karma, he was still shocked by the hideous wounds on his body. There were at least twenty cuts, especially in the area around his heart, which was mangled and bloody. His genitals were also a bloody mess.
She looked away, took a few steps forward, squatted down to look at the little girl, and was surprised to find that there were no wounds on her body. The bloodstains on her hands and body must have been splattered when she attacked the village chief.
Peiqin said, "She is not dead yet, but she was so frightened that she lost her soul. Now her soul cannot find its body. I invited the immortal master here because their souls have been separated from their bodies for too long and must return to their original bodies, otherwise they will become wandering souls. Please, immortal master, save them."
It seems that the disciples who came to investigate were not entirely wrong in saying that the villagers had lost their souls.
Some of the villagers in Manyue Village died, and others were so frightened they lost their souls.
