Chapter 41 Autumn of Many Events

  In Liu Weimin's room at that time, there were seven or eight dead chickens hanging around, all with their crowns torn open and their blood filled into white plastic cups.

  I'm quite sure that cup of chicken blood was drunk by someone, and I even maliciously fantasized that Liu Weimin is a vampire, but of course, this is just a slight slander in my heart. Liu Weimin can't be a vampire, he's not afraid of sunlight, only eats vegetables, and I've even seen him fart before.

  The ghost in front of me said that chicken blood is a great tonic for ghosts. I couldn't help but wonder, had Liu Weimin raised a ghost?

  Have a chance to ask him.

  After the village chief shouted out these words, the villagers began to whisper among themselves. Someone said that Little Tian Shi had just taken Master Xu as his master and probably hadn't even had time to learn any skills yet. Just look at him, he doesn't even know this.

  The murmurs merged into a single piece, the village cadre was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. In fact, I was also quite anxious in my heart, but I still followed the method taught by the village cadre, turned my head, and scanned each person who questioned me with a cold eye, and suddenly there was no sound.

  The man who was just shouting for everyone to demolish and relocate rushed up and slapped the village chief twice, scolding: "You cowardly egghead, Xiaotian's chicken crown blood must have been enlightened, it will drown you, you turtle egg!" After finishing speaking, he smiled slyly at me and asked: "Am I right?"

  Patted on the shoulder to encourage, I also didn't dare say much, just tilted my head and stared at the village chief, hoping Liu Weimin would hurry over and let me continue acting, who knows what other tricks I might reveal.

  The village chief was jumping and scolding, the sound coming out of his mouth gave me a feeling of a oily-faced pretty boy, absolutely not the village chief himself, nor the opera ghost said by others. I was puzzled, so I asked the demolition man what had happened.

  "He explained: 'I heard from the villagers that Xu Shulin had gone mad at home, so I came to see what was happening. When I arrived, I saw seven or eight young men being chased by him all over the yard. Later, we rushed up and subdued him. Only then did I hear from people in front that in the morning, Xu Shulin's mother saw him hiding in the house eating a chicken, a live chicken, with his eyes glowing red and his mouth full of blood. His mother thought he had gone crazy and asked him what was wrong. Xu Shulin threw down the chicken and started singing opera in a woman's voice in the yard. That's when everyone realized that he was possessed by a ghost.'"

  The village cadre whispered to me that Village Chief Xu Shulin and Xu Qi are relatives, the real kind of five hundred years ago were from the same family.

  According to the villagers, the female ghost that climbed onto Xu Shulin's body was probably the one who had climbed onto Xu Qi's body on that day and ran out of the Heavenly Master's coffin.

  However, Xu Qi told me that the female ghost was just pretending to be mysterious near the Tian Shi coffin, and it's actually a common product. But I didn't tell the villagers the truth either, instead, I told them that the female ghost had been beaten up by Xu Daochang, but Xu Daochang also got injured, and later he fought with the old ancestor in the Tian Shi coffin again, and then returned to Longhu Mountain to recover from his injuries.

  But why are there so many strange things in Guanshi Village?

  Laozu Gong has become half a zombie, this can be done, Jiu Ge becoming a zombie is because of our arrival, this is also very reasonable.

  Suddenly, a female ghost who sings opera appears out of thin air, and there is also a young male ghost with a smooth tongue. This makes me puzzled, could Guanshu Village really be the legendary place of great evil?

  Even if it's a place of great disaster, it can't be peaceful before we arrive, and all come out as soon as we come!

  I asked the villagers if there had been a woman in the village who died and could sing opera, the village cadre said no, in the past when they made a big fuss, they always invited an opera troupe from outside.

  This is strange, no matter where the female ghost comes from, I am helpless, and can only stare at the village chief, waiting for Liu Weimin to come over.

  In about seven or eight minutes, You Wurao came running over and whispered to me that Liu Weimin found it inconvenient to make a move in the midst of so many people. Let's pull the village chief to the ancestral hall, he is waiting there.

  I was worried that Liu Weimin had saved the village chief, and there was no way to explain to the villagers why the Little Heavenly Master wanted to invite external aid. At this time, he shouted to everyone: "Listen to me, I just communicated with my master through divine thought and already know the situation of the village chief. Everyone, pull him to the ancestral hall, I want to ask the old ancestors to catch the ghost on the invitation card, but you can't look, you can only hold hands in a circle outside the ancestral hall to prevent the ghost from running out of the ancestral hall."

  Someone shouted, wanting to see their own father and grandfather.

  I said it's fine if we just meet up, but in case your dad wants to see his son and grandson and stay at your place for a few days, don't come looking for me if something happens.

  The villagers stopped talking, and I even saw a few people sneaking away quietly.

  The possessed village chief was incredibly powerful, and when they brought him down from the tree, he suddenly burst open two young men, foaming at the mouth, and charged towards me with a fierce expression, his eyes red with rage, as if he wanted to tear me apart. Fortunately, the villagers were prepared and quickly tied him up with ropes.

  Arrived at the ancestral hall safely, some people organized villagers to hold hands and surround the outside in a circle. Four strong men put the village chief in the courtyard of the ancestral hall and then closed the door and left. The village cadre who had been following me naturally stayed behind. We chatted for a few sentences on the road, he was the deputy village chief, and indeed a university graduate. Now in his early thirties, but has become a man in his forties in this broken village.

  I asked Yu Wu to call Liu Weimin, but Liu Weimin jumped out from behind the curtain of the ancestral hall and said, "I'm here, no need to call."

  Liu Weimin's appearance scared the deputy village chief, shouting for help. His outfit was too strange, wearing a duck-billed hat with the brim pressed low, only his mouth and chin were visible. What was even more terrifying was that this old man was actually wearing my sixth-grade official robe, dressed like a zombie.

  The temple gate is usually locked. After I confirmed that Liu Weimin was not a zombie, I asked him how he got in, and Liu Weimin said he climbed over the wall.

  His unconventional behavior has been going on for more than a day or two, and I'm too lazy to say more. Just as I was about to introduce the deputy village head to him, Liu Weimin opened his mouth and said: "Bring in the village head, non-essential people get out, especially don't help me prepare some things, such as fetal urine, phoenix gall, longan kernel, hundred-step twig, life-taking bow, toll money, nine-zhang white, it's best to find a peach wood sword, if not, then forget it."

  Don't just stand there like a fool, with a stupid expression on your face. I reckon apart from children's urine, he doesn't even know what the rest of it is, let alone go look for it.

  "You'd better let Wang Zhen handle such a daunting task, old man," Yu muttered.

  Liu Weimin said straightforwardly: "Alright, then help me pinch a person."

  You You was very happy to agree, and even flew over a small eye, showing off Liu Weimin's favoritism towards him.

  Liu Weimin said to me: "Go find them, Feng Huang Dan is chicken gallbladder, wild chicken is the best, if you can't find it, kill a rooster over three years old, the older the better. Long Yan He is the pit of Longan fruit, if there isn't any in the village, go to the pharmacy in town to buy some, the drier the better. Bai Bu Zhi is simple, bring a few people with you, after going out, just walk in any direction for 100 steps, and pick a tender branch from all the trees you see within 100 steps, remember, it's all the trees that can be seen. Sha Sheng Gong is a bow and arrow that has taken lives, you can make one now, just take two lives, Mai Lu Qian is round paper money, you should know what Jiu Zhang Bai is, it's nine-zhang white silk, this is the simplest, go quickly."

  I asked him, what does it mean by taking two lives casually, you can't let me kill people, right?

  Liu Weimin said, it's okay to kill whatever, as long as you see blood.

  These things sound like a big deal, it seems that Liu Weimin is going to make a big move. He excitedly jumped up and down, repeatedly asking: "Old man, what kind of person should I grasp, male or female, old or young, give me a standard."

  The more the better, no need to be too refined, males have chicken, females have rice, being able to distinguish between sexes is enough, use yellow mud to knead people.

  "What is Ren Zhong Huang?"

  Liu Weimin said calmly: "Human feces, stool, you go to the village head's latrine and scoop it up, don't make it too thin."

  He suddenly changed his face, a twisted expression of shock, astonishment, stupidity and grievance mixed together. He dared not believe his eyes as he stared at Liu Weimin, with tears welling up in his eyes, just about to ask something when Liu Weimin patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "To eat bitterness is to be a great man, do you still remember that thing? This will be good for you."

  He didn't know what was going on, but You Wu gritted his teeth and nodded firmly, with a tragic air, and resolutely walked out the door.

  Since entering the temple, the village chief has not spoken a word, his eyes are very cold and he doesn't blink, staring at each of us in a gloomy manner. Myself and the deputy village chief carried him into the hall, still without making a sound. Liu Weimin walked to the coffin of the old ancestor placed in the center of the hall, stretched out one hand, seemingly not using much force, and lifted up the coffin lid, clearly stronger than Xu Qi by more than just a little bit, even if I were to ride a rocket I wouldn't be able to catch up.

  Liu Weimin said: "Put him in and suffocate him for a while."

  I still had some doubts, but the deputy village chief carried the village chief and walked over with big strides, while Liu Weimin's subconscious action made me feel a bit strange.

  He was originally holding the coffin lid, waiting for us to put the person in. After the deputy village head approached, he pushed the coffin lid open and took two steps back, turning his face to stare at the hundreds of plaques inside the ancestral hall.

  I don't know if I'm suspicious of Liu Weimin, so I'm overthinking, or if it's really like I thought. Under normal circumstances, he would lift the coffin lid, and if we were carrying the village chief together, I would be right in front of him, and when the village chief was put in, he could easily close the coffin lid again. But Vice Village Chief went over alone, and he hurriedly pushed the lid open, then turned his face sideways, so Vice Village Chief couldn't see his face.

  Moreover, he pulled his hat brim extremely low, was it because he feared being seen by the deputy village head?

  Could it be that the deputy village head is actually Huang Jinbai?
