The torture of evil spirits was a scene that not only the Chen family had never seen before, but even the group of masters of metaphysics had never seen before.
Just now they thought that the girl's kick that sent the paper figurine flying was a mistake, but it turned out that she had other plans.
and……
Where's the supposed powerful Yin object that sucked the energy out of living people? This is just a one-sided crush!
Everyone looked in a trance as the girl stepped on Sister Juan with one foot and interrogated her.
"I'll give you one more chance, or you won't have to go back underground."
"No, I'll tell you. I was sleeping soundly in the East Suburb Cemetery, but a monk forcibly woke me up and gave me a marriage certificate. Ghosts cannot defy fate, so I went to the Chen family. It was not my wish, Heavenly Master, you will understand."
"Then when did you possess the calligraphy and painting?"
"About a month ago, that paper figure had my horoscope on it, and it also had a very powerful magical power."
"Um."
After asking this, Ye Lan loosened her feet and allowed the other party to take off the hairband.
The ghost bride thanked Ye Lan profusely, carefully took off her hairband and handed it back to Ye Lan, then quickly hid back on the little paper man, fearing that if she was a little slower she would be pushed back into the living body and crushed.
Ye Lan turned around and roughly recounted what had happened to Zhu Jing.
A month ago, Chen Zhexi went to the old house to visit the old man and took back a painting. The old things themselves have a hint of spiritual energy and are easy to attract evil spirits. Sister Juan, who had ulterior motives, was bribed and pasted the talisman of the ghost bride on the painting. Coupled with the daily damage caused by hallucinogenic drugs, the strange situation of the ghost bride taking lives every night came into being.
"So, Xiaozhe was assassinated?!" Zhu Jing's face turned pale with fright when he heard this, and his lips were trembling slightly.
"That's right." Ye Lan nodded, then looked at the host, Chen Maoyuan, and said, "Mr. Chen, can you think about who you have offended?"
The person who can resort to such vicious and cruel means must have a serious grudge against him.
"Well... I'm usually careful with my words and actions and rarely make enemies with others. Wait, could it be that incident?!" Chen Maoyuan suddenly realized something in the middle of his words, and his face turned very ugly.
"What's going on? Tell me." Zhu Jing urged anxiously.
Chen Maoyuan then recounted a recent frustrating incident. "At the beginning of the year, the school received approval to begin expansion work. I sent someone to the neighboring construction site to get the keys, but they refused to give them. It was clearly agreed upon and all the paperwork was in place. Ultimately, it took police intervention to get the excavator in, but on the first day of work, something went wrong."
He still felt a lingering fear when he recalled the scene he saw that day.
"The excavator unearthed three bodies. The scene was immediately cordoned off, and the person in charge fled the country immediately. The person who came to handle this matter was the head of the factory headquarters. He came from the imperial capital and brought a monk with him."
"They wanted me to give up the land, but I refused. Before I left, the person in charge looked at me with a very unfriendly look."
Because there was no physical conflict between the two parties at the time and they had no further contact afterwards, it took Chen Maoyuan a long time to recall the existence of such a person.
Including the monk, it is exactly the same as what the ghost bride said.
The murderer has been basically identified.
But, "Master, is Xiaozhe okay now?" Zhu Jing was most worried about his son's safety.
She thought that the plot had been discovered and the ghost bride had been beaten, so the matter should be over.
Unfortunately, just as he finished speaking, the Taoist priest at the door shook his head and sighed, "A ghost marriage contract isn't something you can get rid of so easily. And that monk must be incredibly powerful to be able to control such a vicious ghost. If this doesn't work out, there will definitely be another. Anyone even remotely involved in this will be retaliated against."
"What?" The Chen family was shocked, and then they remembered the wedding appointment three days later. They were suddenly overwhelmed with grief and wanted to cry but had no tears.
A group of people at the door also expressed regret and sympathy.
"The other party will not give up until he achieves his goal. It's better to prepare for his death as soon as possible."
"Or you can seek peace with the other party within these three days, and do everything you can to satisfy them and get them to agree to let you go."
"I've heard before that the Imperial Capital is home to hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and that the Xuanmen sect can even compete with the ancient martial arts world. You see, the masters of the Imperial Capital refuse to give in and insist on going their own way. Even gods can't save you."
Everyone was talking at once, and they were giving the Chen family sincere suggestions.
"What sin have I committed?" Chen Maoyuan's face was filled with pain. He had done nothing wrong, yet he had to suffer this fate, and now he had to bow to the evil forces. But when he turned around and saw his son lying on the bed, his spine softened again. He took out his phone and was about to call someone.
But before the number was dialed, a girl's chuckle came from the side, "Competing with the ancient martial arts world? Ha, who made that up?"
Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that at this time, she actually cared about this.
The Taoist priest at the door looked at her and frowned. "Although I haven't witnessed the abilities of the Xuan Sect in the Ancient Martial Realm, I have participated in a metaphysical exchange meeting held in the imperial capital. There were indeed many masters, and their strength was astonishing. Among them was a monk from the Ten Directions who served as a judge at the exchange meeting. He was even able to call the wind and rain. I heard that his abilities were comparable to the patriarch of the Xuan Sect in the Ancient Martial Realm."
"Equally matched?" Ye Lan chewed over these words, and seeing the other party's confident words, he couldn't help but feel a little amused, "Then let's give it a try."
Try what?
Everyone was confused, and then they saw her pick up the marriage certificate on the bedside table and ask Chen Maoyuan, "Do you have a lighter?"
Chen Maoyuan didn't have the habit of smoking, so Miao Lanying took over and said, "I do."
She took out an exquisite brand-name lighter from her small women's bag and handed it over.
Seeing this, the Taoist priest couldn't help but remind him, "It's useless. This marriage certificate must be made of special materials or sealed with secret methods, so it can't be burned with ordinary open flames. Even if you put it in the incinerator..."
Before he uttered the last word, he saw the girl Su Bai flick her wrist, open the lid of the lighter, and strike the flint. The moment the flame spurted out, the lower right corner of the marriage certificate was immediately covered with flames.
“…”
Everyone was speechless for a moment as they looked at the marriage certificate that was casually thrown into the tray and burst into flames.
Could it be that they opened the lighter in the wrong way before?
However, this conjecture was soon rejected.
After the marriage certificate continued to burn for three seconds, the flame turned blue and faintly distorted into the shape of a human face.
"Ah... who is this evildoer who dares to ruin my good deeds? Put out the fireworks immediately! I will spare your life!"
The flaming face suddenly roared, and it turned out to be a deep and hoarse male voice.
Chen Maoyuan recognized the other person as soon as he heard him. It was the monk he had met once before.
No one expected that the other party could actually transform his face through the air and issue a warning. Such powerful strength scared everyone.
Only Ye Lan, who was standing in front of the brazier, still had a dull expression on his face. He raised his eyebrows lazily and said, "What if I refuse? How are you going to deal with me?"
