Chapter 21 Maze

  The banyan tree village in front of me is filled with a layer of light red mist, like the color of blood, and there are also faintly visible grayish-black clouds. The yin energy here can be felt to be very heavy.

  If I were still alive, seeing all this would have made me too afraid to come in. But now that I'm already a dead person, it doesn't matter anymore. I went straight to Wang Hui's home to look for my physical body from when I was alive. However, after searching around several times, I couldn't find it!

  At that time, I was puzzled. What's going on? Tang Bingxue couldn't have deceived me, could it be that my physical body had been stolen? But normal people can't enter here, who stole my body?

  Oh no! Is it that my corpse was discovered by the villagers, and they're going to force me into a grave in the back mountain again? Thinking of this, I quickly left Wang Hui's house and headed towards the back mountain. It's currently nighttime, but for me, there's not much difference, because now my eyes can see everything clearly.

  The mountain behind is still the same as when Xiaoyu and I left that day, without any change, and no new graves were dug. It seems that it should not be done by people from Rongshu Village. I saw no one else, and shouted out Zhang Bao and Wang Hui's names. I thought we are all ghosts now, maybe we can see each other, but unfortunately, there was no one in sight.

  I didn't see anything, so I decided to go to Wang Hui's house and wait. But just then, I suddenly heard the sound of someone talking, coming from down the mountain. Looking around, there were two people, about 40 years old, two men, one in front of the other, carrying something. It looked like a person!

  I really didn't expect that someone would dare to come into Rongshu Village again, it's really unbelievable. Since the two of them couldn't see me anymore, I quickly followed them and just as I was about to enter, I could confirm that they were carrying a person.

  But when I saw the face of that person, I was shocked. The person being carried was actually me?! No, to be more precise, it should be my body from my previous life. It was only then that I noticed my face, which had been hit quite badly at the time, with blood clots on my forehead and fresh blood all over my body.

  I hurriedly told the two of them to put down my body, but they couldn't hear me. Damn it, do ghosts and humans need a special way to communicate? But looking at the tools they were carrying, I already understood - they were going to bury me!

  I have nothing to do with these two people, why do they want to bury me? This is unthinkable.

  At this time, the man in front spoke up: "You said that woman was quite interesting. She buried a corpse and gave us two people 10,000 yuan each to leave. She really trusted us, if we accepted the money and didn't bury the corpse, she wouldn't even know, haha."

  The person behind him said cautiously, "No, I always feel that woman is a bit abnormal, and this village feels quite strange to me. Let's hurry up and finish our work and leave quickly."

  The person in front said with a careless tone: "You're just timid and suspicious."

  After the two of them finished speaking, they continued to carry my body up the mountain. At this time, I already had an answer in my heart - these two people were instructed by someone else to come and bury my body. And it was a woman, but who could it be? It couldn't be Xiao Rou, she wouldn't think of burying me first after seeing my corpse. Tang Bing Xue was even more impossible. Could it be Wang Xiao Ya? But there's no reason for that, she didn't want me to die, her goal was to absorb my yang energy.

  Is there another girl besides the three of them? Never mind, let's talk about it later. I have to rush up and ask them to put down my body. Otherwise, I'll be a hopeless orphan. I don't want to be a lonely ghost with no one to talk to.

  I thought of this and picked up a stone, rushing towards his calf and smashing it down.

  "What's that?" The guy in front subconsciously lowered his head and took a look!

  After not seeing anything, he continued to walk forward. The person behind him asked what happened, and he said nothing was wrong. It's possible that he stepped on a stone earlier. It seems this guy really doesn't have a small temper. At this time, I followed the same method as before and heavily smashed him once.

  "What? What is it?" At this time, the person in front was a bit panicked, put down my body and started looking around.

  "What's wrong?" asked the one behind him.

  "Just now I felt like someone was hitting my thigh." At the same time, the person in front of him was already sweating profusely.

  I know how he feels, he must be at a loss and extremely frightened right now. I've been in similar situations myself. However, I don't find this amusing at all, there's nothing to laugh about, scaring people has never been something I enjoy seeing.

  "Is it the vengeful spirit of this corpse that has come to warn us?" The person in the back continued.

  "No way? There are no ghosts in this world." The guy in front said with a bit of arrogance, but I saw his hand was already shaking, what an arrogant mouth.

  Just then, a few gusts of wind blew over, and at first I thought it was just natural wind. Who would have thought that behind the grave, a headless corpse floated out? The corpse wore a black cloak, drifting in mid-air with the wind.

  "Ahh!!! Ghost!!" The person in front shouted loudly.

  The person behind was originally a bit weird, after hearing his shouting, he quickly followed and ran away, running all the way down to the foot of the mountain. I guess this time he directly ran out of the village!

  I stared at the headless corpse without blinking, trying to see what it was. Why could those two people see it but not me? At this time, the headless corpse fell directly to the ground, throwing its cloak aside and coming in front of my corpse, with its back facing me, revealing its shriveled neck.

  It was actually fake? But it clearly floated up just now!

  "What are you waiting for? Come over quickly!"

  Good heavens, it's actually Tang Bingxue's voice. Could it be that the headless corpse from just now was Tang Bingxue in disguise? I hastily ran over, and at this time she very comically turned around to make a ghostly face at me to scare me.

  "It's really you, Bingxue!" I got a bit excited.

  "Or else who would it be?" Tang Bing Xue said carelessly to me.

  "You're really resourceful, thinking of this method to scare them away."

  Tang Bingxue helplessly shrugged her shoulders and said to me, "That's also nothing that can be done about it. For ghosts, I have a way, I can use all sorts of methods, but for humans, I am powerless."

  "Your body is still usable, but it's still a bit short of soul."

  Looking at Tang Bingxue muttering to herself like this, I feel like there's no hope left. Originally, I also understood that it wouldn't be easy to revive her soul.

  "You silly melon, don't make that face, although it's still a bit off, but I've already found it." Tang Bingxue chuckled again.

  It wasn't until now that I realized she was intentionally teasing me. Just as I was about to open my mouth to thank her, she waved her hand at me and said if I thanked her it would be over.

  "No, I've already thanked you enough, but I have a question for you - why did you save me?"

  Tang Bing Xue stood up, dusting off her hands and said to me: "Why save you? I knew you'd ask that. But how should I answer you? It's too complicated for you to understand, so let me just say this: you shouldn't die yet because you're not like ordinary people."

  "Is it because I hurt Wang Xiaoya and that fox's cultivation eight years ago?"

  "There is this reason, but not entirely. You can think about it, eight years ago there were three of you, now your other two friends are already dead, and you're still alive. Doesn't that represent something?" At this time, Tang Bingxue became a bit more serious.

  "But am I not already a dead man now?" I was also shocked.

  "The real dead people won't enter the hidden town, as for who designed that car accident, it's better not to let me find out, or else I will definitely kill him with my own hands." At this time, Tang Bingxue clenched her small fists tightly.

  "But, Ice Snow, I still don't understand. These inexplicable things keep happening and you guys keep saving me. Can you please tell me what's going on? Otherwise, I'll be worried to death. If you won't tell me, then I'd rather not have this life."

  It's actually a puzzle that has been bothering me for a long time. Eight years ago, I unintentionally hurt Wang Xiaoya, which is an undeniable fact. But why did it keep torturing me without letting me die? This is something I just can't understand.
