Nothing was found in Fangjia Village. A patrol member led four students back to Wangjia Village and guarded there. The remaining patrol member took the four members of Tang Yue's group and asked the surrounding villagers how many rooms they could borrow.
The five of them are guarding the house in this village tonight.
Five people were discussing in the room, and Tang Yue said: "The house at the end of the village is very suspicious. Although the village woman's words are perfect, it is because of this that it makes people even more suspicious."
The young woman had scars on her body. She must have been abused for many years and had little contact with others. She stumbled when answering questions and sometimes couldn't speak clearly. However, when she talked about the day her husband died, she suddenly became fluent.
, the words were much clearer, as if answers had been prepared in advance.
However, the monks were not allowed to torture mortals, let alone search for souls. Since they could not find any other evidence, they had no choice but to let the woman go and observe in secret.
The patrol team put a mark on the woman's body, and the five of them pretended to rest tonight. If the woman has a ghost in her heart, she will not be able to help but act tonight. This village knows very little about the monks.
It's quite possible to think they are actually sleeping.
Sure enough, at midnight, the woman left home and walked out of the village. After thinking about it, the patrol team asked Tang Yue and Shang Fanling to stay in the village while he, Tu Wenzhou, and Xu Tianwen followed the woman. This way the fighting force was more even.
Everyone had no objections, so they split up.
Senior Sister Shang discussed things in this village with Tang Yue, "I feel that the women in this village are very strange, and the men on the road dare to stare at us maliciously." She is a talented monk who has been valued by her elders since she was a child. Men
They all respect her, and occasionally they will be concerned about her strength when they encounter male cultivators who look down on female cultivators.
Tang Yue thought of some news in modern society and sighed, "Probably it's because of poverty. Poor mountains and rivers lead to unruly people. I asked the villagers. They can only make a living by growing some low-grade herbs and some grains. From time to time, they also
It’s a very hard life to go into the mountains to hunt and find herbs.”
Senior Sister Shang thought for a while, "I never thought that poverty could turn people into such hateful faces."
Suddenly, a sharp cry for help came from outside the house. It sounded like it was coming from a girl. Senior Sister Tang Yue went out to check the situation and rushed to the other street where the sound came from. There were about ten people gathered there, and they were tying up a man who was struggling fiercely.
The girl looked only twelve or thirteen years old.
The girl turned around and saw Tang Yue and Shang Fanling, the immortal master she had met during the day. She hurriedly shouted: "Sister Fairy, save me, I don't want to marry a fifty-year-old bachelor."
Both of them were surprised when they heard this. Tang Yue asked the villagers to stop and asked what happened. However, a strong man stepped forward and said, "Master Immortal, this woman is Fang Mao's bride. They are getting married today. It is a great event."
."
Tang Yue said coldly: "This girl is only twelve or thirteen years old and has not yet had haircuts. How can she get married?"
The middle-aged man said: "Country people get married early. You don't know that Fang Mao paid the bride price. Both families have agreed that the bride is here tonight."
"Are you giving away the bride, or are you doing something bad that requires you to do it so late at night?" Tang Yue almost understood what was going on.
"This is the custom of our village, everyone is like this." The male villagers present agreed.
After a while, an old woman came out of the house on the side of the road and brought a man who looked to be in his fifties. She knelt down and begged: "Master, this is really a lot of money that our family has saved."
I am waiting for my daughter-in-law to carry on the family line, otherwise my family will be ruined."
The girl struggled and said: "I don't want to get married, I don't want to." Everyone wanted to cover the girl's mouth, but they didn't dare.
Tang Yue didn't want to say any more and asked the group of villagers, "Who is this girl's family?"
These people all looked at a man, who came out hesitantly, "Is there something wrong, Master Immortal?"
"How much did you get for selling this girl?"
"It's not a sale, it's a gift. The Fang family wants to give us half a piece of silver and give it to us before entering the bridal chamber."
Shang Fanling frowned, "You sold your child for half a dollar. Who are you?"
"I am her uncle. This child has a hard life. She lost her parents when she was young. I have raised her till now. Now that she has married into a good family, I feel relieved."
Tang Yue looked at the man in his fifties kneeling on the ground, and then at the dilapidated house they came out of. He didn't think it was a "good family" at all.
"Let's do this. I'll give you a piece of silver. I think your niece is pretty good. She just happens to be a handyman disciple in our Immortal Mountain, an outer disciple or something like that. She will be more secure throughout her life."
The uncle's eyes lit up when he heard a piece of silver, but when he saw the fierce men in this village, he flinched and said, "This is not good, I promised their family."
"What's wrong with this? I haven't given you the money yet? This means that the deal hasn't been established yet and you can go back on your word. Anyway, you're just trying to find a home for your niece, right?"
As Tang Yue spoke, he picked up a stone on the roadside and crushed it into powder, which shocked the men.
The man opposite had some impatience in his eyes. They usually dislike women the most. They were just worried that they were immortal masters and came with many men. They didn't want to cause trouble. In their hearts, they didn't think that this little girl was a good person.
Young women will be great.
Now that they saw that this little girl had such strong hands and could crush stones into powder without changing her expression, they all took a step back.
"Then it's settled, I'll take this girl away." Tang Yue handed the silver to her uncle and took the little girl from the male villager's hand.
The man kneeling on the ground was anxious: "Master Immortal, you can't take away my wife, she will bear my son."
The old woman also said: "Our Fang family is going to be extinct."
Tang Yue sneered, "Your entire village is surnamed Fang, and they are all members of the Fang family. You have no descendants here, so they can continue to pass on the family lineage."
The people in Fangjia Village looked ugly after hearing this. Although that was what they said, if every family was like this, there would be fewer and fewer people in their village.
"Okay, let's leave this matter as it is. Why don't you go back to sleep? Don't make any noise here. It will be bad if you attract ghosts."
The villagers looked scared, "Is there a ghost?"
"Otherwise, what are we doing here? There is a lost soul in Wangjiacun. We came to Fangjiacun to find out the matter. If you don't believe me, just ask the Wang family."
The people from Fangjia Village looked at the man named Wang, and he had no choice but to explain: "There are indeed some people in our village who have lost their souls, so the village chief went to Wuji Mountain and asked these monks to investigate."
The leading man said: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? If we had known that your Wangjia Village was so unlucky, we would never have wanted women from your Wangjia Village. Maybe the men who died in the village were all because of marrying you."
Daughter of the Wang family."
One of the villagers said: "It seems that the family where the dead man was killed did indeed marry a daughter of the Wang family." After he reminded them, everyone remembered that this was indeed the case and quickly distanced themselves from the Wang family.
"Has anyone died in your village recently?" Tang Yue felt that this matter was very important.
The leading man hesitated for a moment, then confessed: "It is true that several men died mysteriously, or fell down the mountain, or were hit by heavy objects that suddenly fell, and some encountered ferocious beasts in the mountains. We also
I thought they were out of luck."
Tang Yue asked the dates of death of these people again, and they were all correct on the date when the people in Wangjia Village lost their souls. There should be some connection between them.
A person in the crowd rushed to them, knelt down and begged, crying: "Master Immortal, please help me. I also married a daughter of the Wang family. Is there something wrong with me?"
Tang Yue looked at this man and found that his hall was darkened, which was indeed a sign of great danger: "Have you done anything evil?"
He looked like he was about to be punished by God, and he would die suddenly in the next few days.
