Chapter 3: The Extermination of the Door

  Li Tianzhen should be a relatively kind-hearted woman, at least in my childhood memories, she rarely quarreled with people. So she could scold out such words, it should be because she was angry.

  But to me, she is also a somewhat mysterious woman, because I have never seen her chatting with anyone, always alone. What's even stranger is that women like her who are always alone should be the target of gossipmongers' chatter. But those gossipmongers in the village seem not to talk about Li Tianzhen much.

  As for Li Tianzhen, my grandmother did tell me a bit of information. The reason why Li Tianzhen is so introverted is because his mother was an old shamaness.

  It is said that Li Tianzhen's mother, the old nun, was a disciple of Meng Po's disciples. She was best at summoning ghosts. Forty years ago, there was a wealthy landlord named Cheng who offended the old nun. The old nun summoned a group of fierce ghosts one night and scared the entire Cheng family to death.

  From then on, no one dared to provoke Li Tianzhen's mother again. Li Tianzhen's mother thus earned the nickname "Extinction Mother". This nickname was concise and to the point, warning everyone that whoever provoked her would suffer the disaster of extinction.

  After the Li family's extermination case, no one dared to provoke the Li family again. Even the gossipy women didn't dare to utter a single word about the Li family.

  That exterminating woman isn't a bad person after all. She has always upheld the principle of not offending others if they don't offend her, and over these decades, she hasn't harmed anyone.

  However, the exterminating witch didn't idle around for these decades either. She raised 99 ghosts that were carefully selected by her. These ghosts not only could harm people's lives but also help the exterminating witch live a longer life.

  Mengmen Po is now 113 years old, but she is still in high spirits. Even on the first and fifteenth nights of each month, she still has to hurry her domesticated wild ghosts to Songlin Mountain to graze.

  This wild ghost is like a sheep and cannot be kept in a pen all the time. It needs to be taken out periodically to let it run around. Only then can the wild ghost grow up healthily.

  That Songlin Mountain, I know a bit about it. There isn't a single household in that place, all are tombs. To put it bluntly, it's just a mountain of tombs. Moreover, those tombs were all left before the Cheng family extermination event. Anyway, none of the elderly people who passed away in the village in recent years were buried there.

  The Songlin Mountain was originally a treasure land of Fengshui, but after the Cheng family was destroyed, everyone saw the skills of the Destroyer and knew that she would go to Songlin Mountain to herd ghosts on the first and fifteenth days of each month, so they didn't dare to bury their elders there again.

  Actually, the main reason why people no longer dare to bury the elderly in Songlin Mountain is not because Mie Men Po herds ghosts there, but because of a rumor that says the ghosts herded by Mie Men Po were all summoned on Songlin Mountain.

  That is to say, as long as the old man is buried on Songlin Mountain, the old man's soul will be summoned by Mie Men Po. In that way, the elderly at home will become the pets raised by Mie Men Po.

  Moreover, it is said that the method used by Mie Men Po to tame the wild ghosts was extremely cruel and unbearable to behold.

  As for the matter of Wangxian's training of the wild ghosts, none of the living have seen it. The person who saw Wangxian train the ghosts with his own eyes was a young Taoist priest named Wang, who had just come out of his thatched cottage.

  One day and night, Wang Daoshi ran alone to Songlin Mountain to practice the soul-calling technique, where he inadvertently saw Mie Men Po training ghosts on Songlin Mountain.

  At that time, apart from some domesticated wild ghosts, there was also a little girl standing in front of the exterminator, wearing a red bellyband. From the pale face and the dark eyes of the little girl, Wang Daoshi could see at a glance that she was a little ghost.

  All she saw was that the exterminator aunt beckoned to the little girl as if calling a small dog, but the little girl didn't move at all and took no step forward. It could be seen that the little girl was afraid of the exterminator aunt.

  Dealing with such a little demon, Mie Men Po's experience is quite rich, for her, it's just a piece of cake.

  The little girl stood still, and the exterminating granny took out a red rope and tied the little girl's feet tightly. After tying her up, the exterminating granny handed the other end of the red rope to an old ghost.

  That old devil is white-haired and venerable. Judging from the degree of his submissiveness to Mie Men Po, he should have been under her control for quite some time.

  After getting the rope, that old devil climbed up to the big pine tree on the side like a monkey, three steps and two steps.

  The old ghost found a branch thicker than an adult's calf, wrapped the red rope around it in a circle, and then wrapped the red rope around his own hand twice.

  After wrapping it up, the old devil suddenly jumped down from the branch.

  The old devil landed with a thud, and the little girl was left dangling upside down in mid-air.

  Although that little girl was a little devil, she still had her own instinctive reaction. So when she was hung on the tree, the little girl burst into tears.

  As for that ruthless woman, she would not have any pity in her heart towards the little girl's crying. Therefore, the little girl's crying was unlikely to soften her heart.

  If she could be soft-hearted, she wouldn't be called Exterminating Grandma.

  After being hung upside down in the air, Mie Men Po took out a row of silver needles and slowly walked to the little girl's side. At this time, the old ghost from just now was carrying a deep brown, red-cloth-sealed jar over.

  After the old ghost walked over, Mie Men Po began to recite incantations towards the urn. As for what she was reciting, Wang Daoshi couldn't make out clearly. These incantations are usually very twisted and not a normal human language, so even if Wang Daoshi had sharpened his ears, it would still be impossible for him to understand.

  As soon as the old ghost finished reciting the curse, he respectfully placed the jar on the ground. After placing the jar on the ground, Mie Men Po took a silver needle and pricked her left index finger with it.

  After the needlework was done, Mie Men Po dripped three drops of black blood from her fingertips onto the red cloth covering the urn. After dripping, something began to push against the red cloth.

  Something bumped against it for a while, and then there was a "hiss" sound. The red cloth was immediately torn open with a slit. After the red cloth was torn, a shiny black snake about three feet long and as thick as a thumb emerged from the jar.

  This snake is called Du Lian Zi, it was passed down to Mie Men Po by her master. It's said that this snake has been passed down for thirteen generations, nearly five hundred years. For five hundred years, this Du Lian Zi has only eaten various highly toxic snakes, insects, rats and ants. Therefore, this Du Lian Zi is the number one toxin in the world.

  The little girl who was hanging upside down was bitten to death by a poisonous snake, so when she saw the poisonous snake swimming out, she immediately screamed.

  At this time, the little girl was already terrified, while the wild ghosts domesticated by Mie Men Po were jumping and screaming around her, as if they had encountered a joyful event to celebrate.

  These wild ghosts, what they like to watch the most is the extermination of other wild ghosts by the Exterminating Aunt. The more cruel the methods used by the Exterminating Aunt, the more addictive it becomes for them to watch. When watching other wild ghosts being tortured, they completely forget that they themselves were once also tortured by the Exterminating Aunt.

  Just as the wild ghosts were celebrating with joy, the poisonous snake had already climbed onto the branch. It was now starting to move along the red rope, inching its way towards the little girl.

  The little girl, although hanging upside down, could clearly see the poisonous snake swimming towards her. Seeing that the snake was now entwined on the red rope, the little girl shrieked and struggled in mid-air, trying to shake off the snake by shaking the rope.

  That poisonous snake had been practicing for 500 years, and although the little girl was a young demon, her Tao was far inferior to that of the poisonous snake. Therefore, relying on the few swings of the little girl's sword was not enough to knock the poisonous snake to the ground.

  The little girl's swinging undoubtedly accelerated the speed of the poisonous snake swimming towards her. Soon, the poisonous snake swam to the little girl's feet and slid into her pants along her pant legs.

  The poisonous snake is a male snake and can be said to be the most lustful snake among snakes. Other male snakes are at most interested in their own kind, but this poisonous snake is different. All things in the world, as long as they are female, it is interested.

  There is a rumor that Du Lianzi even had an affair with Mie Men Po.

  After the poisonous snake slithered into the little girl's pants, just a few seconds later, the little girl let out a scream of "ah". Then, the little girl fainted. After the little girl fainted, between her two legs, a snake could be clearly seen wriggling there.

  After that night, the little girl's soul was summoned by Mie Men Po. Not long after, the little girl gave birth to a pile of snake eggs, and Mie Men Po hatched seven snake-bodied human-headed poisonous sons from those eggs.

  The Wang Daoist who saw all this died on the second night.

  That day, Wang Daoshi got drunk and fell into the pond, drowning to death. At first, everyone thought it was an accident, but after they fished out Wang Daoshi's body, they found that his eyes were gone.
