C7 The mage was scared away

After I finished my meal, just as I was about to head out to see what was going on at Old Gao's house, I was struck by a person walking towards me, causing me to stagger. He then asked, "What are you doing, getting so flustered?"

"Something big has happened! Something big has happened! " The coward spat out his saliva and said, "The mage that the Village Head invited has been scared away!"

"What?" The Mage was scared away? " I was so stunned I couldn't believe my ears. Last night, Old Man Gao's family, including Liu Jie and Gao hei, died in such a weird way that the village chief would definitely invite a mage to do the chores and let Old Man Gao and his family rest in peace. It's just that this is the first time I've heard of him escaping. This mage was way too cowardly. I asked the village chief where he got the mages.

After the cowardly description of how the spittle flew everywhere, I finally had a rough understanding of what had happened.

It turned out that all three members of the Gao Family did not die a normal death. First of all, Elder Gao was hanged and died a violent death. The people who died had a heavy grudge and everyone was afraid that he would come out later to cause trouble.

Gao Genji was in even worse shape. He had been killed by a shoehorn. In the rural areas, children who thought that they had died before they could grow up could not be reborn. They would instead find a similar grade of child to be the scapegoat. These two days, every family wouldn't let their children go anywhere.

Many of them witnessed Liu Jie's tragic death, causing panic among the villagers. They had to hire a mage who understood this profession to go overboard and prevent Old Gao's family from harming anyone. Once everyone gathered their thoughts, they went to invite the slightly famous Master Ma.

Normally, people would stay alive for three days after they died, and three days later, they would be buried in peace. The Village Chief felt that the death of Old Man Gao and his family was very strange, and feared that if the corpses were released there, something bad might happen. Let Master Ma do the legal matter, and bury him today.

Who would have thought that something would happen before they were buried!

When Master Ma arrived, he asked everyone to put Old Gao's family of three into a coffin. However, they realized that Elder Gao and his family of three had their eyes wide open, and couldn't even close them with their hands.

This was a death sentence that left them unable to close their eyes! Furthermore, the family of three died with grievances, so Master Ma could no longer remain calm. He had someone set up an incense burner in front of Elder Gao's righteous spirit and muttered a few words into it. Then, he inserted three incense sticks and lit it up: "Dust returns to ashes, dust returns to earth." After eating this mortal fire, don't linger in this mortal world anymore, hurry up and bury yourself in the ground to rest. "

Who knew that once Master Ma took his hand away, those three incense sticks would all fall? Master Ma was also surprised, and once again inserted the three joss sticks deeper into the incense burner. However, an even weirder thing happened. The three joss sticks actually broke completely, falling to the ground as if they had been abandoned.

Seeing this, Master Ma was frightened to the point that his face turned ashen. He started to run, while saying, "My mana is limited, this matter in your village should be handled wisely. "Don't look for me, I can't do anything about it even if you look for me."

"He really escaped faster than a rabbit." The coward said vividly.

When the village saw that Master Ma ran away in fright, they all became completely flustered and dumbstruck. Master Ma could be considered to have a bit of fame in this town. He had seen countless waste of time, but had never seen him so frightened.

The villagers discussed and decided that it was impossible to bury the three members of the Gao family. According to the traditional custom, the dead must close their eyes before the coffin is opened. If he didn't close his eyes in front of the coffin, then there must be something that he couldn't put down. He couldn't rest in peace even if he died. Forcefully closing the coffin was a major event.

Good news never goes out, while bad news spread far and wide. The fact that Master Ma had been scared away was immediately spread. Old Man Gao and his family had died a strange death, but now that Great Immortal Ma had been scared away, the entire village was filled with fear. The workers at the old man's house had all run away, and the neighbors near the old man's house had all gone to hide in their own relatives' houses. There was almost no one living near the old man's house now.

"Brother Feng." The coward's face turned pale as he tremblingly said to me, "Do you think the Village Head will let us youngsters stand guard? I won't dare to go anyway. "

Hearing the words of a coward, I quivered and gulped down a mouthful of saliva. If even the Mage was scared off, who would still dare to stand guard? What did he mean by 'a twenty-something year old guy with a fiery aura and a strong yang aura'? It was pure nonsense to say that he was not afraid of any ghosts or monsters.

I've heard of this Master Ma before. He's at least sixty years old. His experience was definitely not small, since he was so frightened, he must have discovered something. I thought of Gao Lao Yi, hanging from a beam with his tongue hanging out. With a weird smile on his face, the salivating fool, Gao Genji. There was also Liu Jie, who had crashed into the wall with a curse. A shiver ran through my heart, and I felt a chill behind my back. Something was watching us. I have a feeling that if this matter isn't resolved properly, something will happen to the village sooner or later.

The first thing he had to do was to find Master Ma and ask him what was going on. Otherwise, if this matter can't be resolved, it would be too much of an honor to us. Which village girl would dare to marry into our Gaozhuang village?

I asked Imp, "Do you still want to keep watch?"

The coward shook his head like a poreng drum, "I wouldn't dare go to Elder Gao's house even if I were beaten to death. I feel a chill as I walk past his house."

"Now we must find Master Ma and figure out what happened."

I asked Imp, "How long has Master Ma been gone?"

"Around 20 minutes? He was probably home by now, riding an electric bike. "But I know where his house is." said the coward.

"Alright, let's go straight to his house to find him." I nodded in agreement.

Coward took me on a motorcycle and soon we were in a very old-fashioned house in town. There was an electric car parked in front of the entrance, and in the back of the car were some yellow papers and other things to do.

I knocked on the door. It was opened by an old man in his sixties. He had a moustache, wore a Chinese tunic, and had a pair of black cloth shoes on his feet. He looked like an otherworldly expert.

He asked me warily, "Who are you?"

I said I was from Gaozhuang, called Zhang Xiaofeng. Come to Master Ma to find out what's wrong with our village.

When Master Ma heard that I'm from Gao Zhuang, his face immediately changed, as if he had seen a ghost. His face was full of fear: "I already told you, I don't care about your village's matters, why are you still here! "Please be wise."

After Master Ma finished speaking, he swung his hand with all his might, wanting to close the door.

Quickly, I pushed at the door to prevent Master Ma from closing it. I realized that the things that had happened to our village this time might not be small, so I had to find out.

After all, Master Ma is in his sixties, and his physical strength is not comparable to mine. He slammed the door a few times to make sure it wouldn't open. "Why are you so stubborn, young man? Can't you understand what I just said?"

"You must tell me the truth. Otherwise, we will carry you back to the manor." I threatened. This Master Ma must know something, otherwise he wouldn't be so afraid. Only I don't know what he was afraid of? Was it the Gao and Yi family's ghost? I have to get this straight.

"Kid, you are forcing this old man to his death." When Master Ma heard my words, his face paled. He carefully looked at his surroundings, as if he was afraid that something was following behind us. That made Imp and I nervous, sending chills down our spines. We couldn't help but look at what was really behind us.

Hearing how serious Master Ma's words were, I panicked in my heart. "Master, right now, everyone in our village is panicking." Tell me what you're afraid of. Even if you didn't say it, we wouldn't have believed you. "That won't do. I'll talk with the village head about giving you more money."

"It's not a matter of money." After hearing my words, Master Ma's face paled. He knew that he wouldn't leave unless he gave us an explanation. He heavily sighed and said, "Follow me inside. The young lad outside the door will stay outside."

"Ah?" Why not let me in? " The coward was unhappy.

"Listen to Master Ma." I said to Imp.

When I entered Master Ma's room, I saw a large suitcase on the floor. It was filled with clothes that had been changed. I was stunned, this Master Ma wants to run away. I looked at Master Ma and said, "It shouldn't be as if you're trying to escape, right?"

"As for that!" Master Ma sighed and said, "Young man, I'll tell you the truth. I can't care about the matters in your village. Right now, I can't even protect myself."

"Master Ma, what happened to our village?" I panicked when I heard Master Ma's words and couldn't wait to ask. What was it that scared Master Ma to the point that he wanted to escape?

"You're Zhang Xiaofeng, right?" Master Ma looked at me and said, "Don't worry about your village first. You should worry about yourself first."

"Ah?" What's wrong with me? " I pointed my finger at myself and stared at Master Ma, not understanding what he meant.

"Ghost Eyes!" Master Ma said word by word, "You brat, you don't know what's good for you. You were glared at by this little ghost." If you don't believe me, look in the mirror now and see if there's anything in your eyes! "
