I stared at the statue of Shigu with wide eyes, feeling extremely horrified!
I didn't expect her resentment towards Dongsha Village to have reached such an extent. You can imagine what kind of life Shigu lived in Dongsha during her lifetime, and I believe she will keep her word.
"This is going to be troublesome!" I had an ominous premonition in my heart.
Although she was very pitiful during her lifetime, after her death she was burdened with a life debt, so it was definitely impossible to save her. Thinking of this, I felt a dull feeling in my heart...
Emotionally speaking, I sympathize with her, but from the perspective of the laws of heaven and earth, she cannot be tolerated. Putting aside these things for the time being, Shigu just wants to take revenge on the people here. Her obsession and resentment alone are very...
Terrible!
"Ouch... Ouch..."
Just when I was in a state of confusion, I heard Zhuzhu's hoarse moans from behind.
I breathed a sigh of relief and stopped thinking so much for the time being. I walked over and helped Zhu Zhu and my father helped him back home little by little.
Because the eye injury was serious, Zhuzhu Niang took him to the county hospital overnight, while Xianglan stayed at home.
By this time, she had washed off the yin and yang makeup on her face and put on casual clothes. Only then did I see her appearance clearly. She had a pointed head and a narrow forehead, long and open eyebrows, and a small, sunken nose. She had a typical appearance of a miserable life...
"Little Master...is what you just said true?" Xianglan looked at me with a worried look.
"Yes, the current situation is very dangerous, so we must be prepared before tomorrow night!"
When I came back just now, I told the three people about Shi Gu's cruel words, and Zhu Zhu's father said that he would bandage his eyes first and study what to do next when he comes back.
"Xianglan, Zhuzhu's father said before that after Shi Gu died, several people died in your village one after another, and they were all found in that dry well. Do you know how many people died in total? Are these people?
Have you ever harassed Shigu during your lifetime?"
Xianglan lowered her head and recalled for a moment, then murmured:
"Except for Zhu Zhu, a total of four people died. These four people were all bachelors. As far as I know... they all harassed Shi Gu..."
"Then your husband Zhuzhu..."
"No! Zhuzi would never do such a thing. I know him very well. He is an honest farmer and treats me very well. I can guarantee this!"
Xianglan was a little excited. I didn't continue to ask questions, but a question arose in my mind. If Zhu Zhu had never harassed Shi Gu before his death, why did Shi Gu seek his life? And why did the other four people die in the well?
, he was the only one who died outside the village?
Xianglan seemed to see the doubts in my heart and said:
"Although Zhu Zhu has never done such dirty things, the last time when the old master came to the village to practice, he was the one who helped with everything, including the stone statue that Zhu Zhu also helped to cover on the dry well.
I'm not sure if it's because of this..."
I nodded suddenly. If it was really because of this, then Shigu's resentment was even more terrifying than I imagined.
It seems that anyone who targets her will die!
Although the approach of the teacher hired by the villagers was absurd, he was right about one thing, that is, the souls of the four bachelors who were killed by Shi Gu were drawn by her resentment and could not go to the underworld to reincarnate.
In other words, the souls of these four people are still wandering in the world, most likely in the hands of Shigu or in the dry well...
Thinking of this, my head buzzed, and I suddenly realized something.
I hurriedly took out the wooden box of notes from my backpack and rummaged through them. The situation at the moment was very similar to a record I had seen in the notes... I opened my eyes wide and searched carefully one by one...
Not long after, the four words on the note finally came into my sight. After reading them, I frowned and complained:
"Good on you Yunfei! I really got on your pirate ship this time!!!"
The long night passed quietly in uneasiness...
As soon as it started to lighten up, Zhuzhu's father and Zhuzhu's mother came back. The old man's left eye could no longer be saved, but they were still very grateful to me for being able to save their lives from Shi Gu.
"Little Master, what do you think we will do next?" Zhuzhu's father looked at me with a sad face.
I pondered for a moment,
"Is there a temple in the village?"
"Temple? There is a City God's Temple at the west end of the village. Does this count..."
"Forget it, is there still incense in the temple?"
"Yes, the incense is pretty good. Dongsha Village depends on the sky for its livelihood and the people are simple and honest, so they believe in the City God..."
"Simple folk customs? Haha..."
I sneered and shook my head.
Father Zhuzhu seemed to have thought of something and smiled awkwardly,
"Little Master, what do you mean by this small temple?"
"How many households are there in Dongsha Village?"
"Twenty or thirty households..."
I lowered my head and calculated, and said in a deep voice:
"Before dusk tonight, all the villagers in the village will gather at the Chenghuang Temple at the west end of the village. No one can be missing!"
When Zhuzhu's father heard this, he immediately showed a troubled expression on his face.
"This...why is this? I'm afraid I don't have that much appeal."
I snorted coldly,
"Huh, tell them, if they want to live to see the sun tomorrow morning, then they should stay at the Chenghuang Temple in a down-to-earth manner. If they don't want to, then I have nothing to do with it!"
Hearing this, Zhuzhu's father nodded calmly, turned around and left without daring to waste a moment.
Seeing him leave, I turned to Zhuzhu Niang and Xianglan and said:
"Don't be idle. There should be chicken farmers in the village. Catch all the roosters in the village and bring them to the City God's Temple, and prepare a few large piles of excrement from pigs, cattle and sheep..."
"Then give me the statistics of the birth dates of the young adults. Remember! This is related to the lives of the whole village. You must not be careless!"
"I know...I know..."
Xianglan responded, and then pulled the pale-faced Zhuzi Niang and ran out of the door...
I took a deep breath and took out the coin from my backpack.
"If it really comes to that point, the bet with Yun Fei is still secondary, and saving the lives of the villagers is the top priority!"
This time is probably the most difficult problem I have encountered since I became an Onmyoji. It’s not that Shigu is so powerful, but it involves too many lives!
If it succeeds, in addition to winning the bet with Yunfei, I can probably earn hundreds of years of virtue. If it fails...then this Dongsha Village will be my burial place!
