C9 Scarlet Rope

Elder sister Xiujuan is living with Boss Gao now, and I always felt that something was wrong with Boss Gao... My man's sixth sense told me that Boss Gao was the owner of that green light. It was...

Ghost!

At this moment, the people making a ruckus outside the door were the villagers! Many people did not believe in the capture of ghosts, at least not all of them believed it. However, no one doubted it because quite a few things had happened in the past two days.

Everyone loves to watch a good show, not to mention the one that relates to us. It seems like we don't have to worry about it. The whole village is gathered here one after another.

Most importantly, he did not see any result. After all, everyone was not comfortable sleeping, and the two friendly neighbors suddenly died. It was said that no one dared to sleep peacefully anymore, and someone had to stay at home to watch the night, afraid that the criminals would suddenly come in.

I don't know if I should tell my grandfather about that flash of green light. I don't know if I was mistaken or if my grandfather would believe me. After all, I had complained to him about my overbearing boss several times. He might have even thought that I was doing it on purpose.

The greatest tragedy in life was that when you were four or eight years old, others would treat you as a three year old child and think that you only knew how to mess around.

"Grandfather." I stopped my grandfather who was about to leave. "I saw a hint of green in Boss Gao and the others' sister's house, Xiujuan. It was a very bright green."

My grandfather looked at me in confusion, then looked at the bowl in his hand. He closed his eyes to feel the world, and after a long while, he opened his eyes again. "Boss Gao, there's no problem."

With that, he walked out.

Next, he was going out to catch Sister Soo Juan.

I immediately followed them and found that there was already a divine altar in the courtyard outside the door. I didn't know when my grandfather had told them to prepare it.

In his grandfather's hand was a wooden sword, in his other hand was a few talismans, and he did many acts of worship on the divine altar, exactly like what Ninth Uncle did in the movies.

Grandfather brandished the wooden sword and began to chant. The voice was sometimes high, sometimes low, sometimes gentle, sometimes melodious, and it seemed to carry a strange rhythm that gradually calmed my mood, just like the lullaby I heard before I went to sleep.

Suddenly, the talisman in my grandfather's left hand flew up and started burning. As the talisman burned, I could clearly feel that there was something inside the talisman that was rippling outwards, like a water wave. Layers after layers, it kept on flowing, but I couldn't see it with the naked eye, it was just that I could feel it, I could imagine it.

And out of the corner of his eyes, his grandfather had been staring at Boss Gao!

When the talisman was completely burnt to ashes, the copper coin sword on the square table was still flying up, circling and dancing around his grandfather as his grandfather jumped.

The villagers were stunned. Although they believed in the presence of ghosts and gods and had the most primitive reverence for that unknown part of the world, this was the first time seeing such a supernatural phenomenon. It was just like how we all knew that there was no gravity in space.

Only I didn't understand what my grandfather was doing. As someone who experienced the fusion of Yin and Yang with my grandfather, I knew that my grandfather only needed to immerse his mind in the bowl to be able to find big sister Xiujuan.

"Clang!"

The copper coin sword dancing in front of his grandfather suddenly split apart. The copper coin flew in all directions, and three of the copper coins unerringly smashed into Boss Gao's forehead and shoulders before falling onto the ground.

The crowd that was watching his grandfather's actions with rapt attention suddenly burst into an uproar. "Village Chief Gou, are you alright!?"

His grandfather frowned seriously and said, "There is an unknown force interfering with my spell casting. Luckily, I was able to find where Xiujuan was."

He then took out the bowl from under the altar, and led a large group of people towards Embarrassment Peak.

Was there a force interfering with the incantation? I'll be surprised if I do. You're a bad old man.

Knowing where Sister Xiujuan is, I don't believe my grandfather's lies at all.

This time when I went to find elder sister Xiujuan, my grandfather didn't bring me with him. Most of the people in the village were left in the courtyard.

During this time, Little Fatty told me how he fought bravely against the twenty-seven zombies last night before defending the village. As for why it was twenty-seven, it was probably because when his father and grandfather returned, he only talked to the twenty-seventh zombie.

Ever since Little Fatso jumped into the middle of the corpse, Little Fatso's father had spoken up for Little Fatso. As long as Little Fatso was talking or something about zombies, Little Fatso would give him a good beating.

There was nothing more pitiful than being deprived of one's dream. Little Fatty was one.

Sister Xiujuan was tied up by a rope that was as thick as my arm, up and down. She was like a dumpling, and there was some red liquid on the rope.

Grandfather is a qualified Daoist, but elder sister Xiujuan is not a qualified ghost … Or strange.

According to Erya's father, Elder Sister Xiujuan had tried to escape after being discovered by everyone, but upon realizing that she was surrounded, she did not struggle and was obediently tied up by her men.

I noticed that Sister Xiujuan's calm face would twitch from time to time. Little Fatty said that he was threatening us, but I just felt that it was a painful twitch. The source of the pain seemed to be that red rope.

It must be very painful!

I felt pity for Sister Xiujuan, whether it was her lifeless eyes, or her ragged clothes, her shriveled limbs, or the enormous ropes that covered her body.

There was one thing that was strange. Ever since Sister Xiujuan entered the yard, her eyes had not been lifeless.

At one point, I saw fear in Soo Juan's eyes — when she looked at Boss Gao and the rest!

After that, Sister Soo Juan didn't even glance in that direction.

"After a few twists and turns, we finally caught Soo Juan." Without Xiu Juan, everyone can have a good night's sleep. Although the mysterious person behind them has a profound cultivation base, he doesn't have much strength in himself, and is even a little weaker than ordinary people. He will bring other opportunities to harm others, and I will find out who the real culprit is as soon as possible.

"Village Chief Gou, why didn't you kill that ghost?!" Little fatty's father said.

"That's right, Village Chief Gou. This ghost is already ruthlessly killing the pockmarks and Third Brother in the village. If you don't kill it, it will only bring about endless troubles in the future."

"That's right. If we don't kill this ghost for a day, we won't be able to rest in peace." The burly man waved his arms and let out a cry.

"Right, as long as the ghosts are not killed, we will never be at ease!" Someone on the side immediately responded.

"Boo!" "I remember that you said before that you liked Xiujuan very much. If she were to die, you would be willing to sacrifice yourself for her." Grandfather gave the man a bland look.

"Can it be the same? "Right now, this ghost is no Xiujuan. How could she possibly harm the villagers …" Although he had a wide range of knowledge, he wasn't someone who could argue with words, but whenever he felt that he was in the wrong, he couldn't say anything even if he had reason. And with his grandpa's prestige in the village, there weren't many people who dared to argue with him.

Seeing that Brother Biao had stopped talking, other people immediately stood up. "Village Head, please don't show sympathy. If Xiujuan is still the same Xiujuan from before, we would also be willing to give her a chance. However, the current Xiujuan is already a ghost, we must kill her."

Although he felt that he was in the wrong, but he was in the right. It was only because Pang Zi was honest that he understood his grandfather's way of life. It was just like how someone suddenly said that you had a good relationship with a corpse when someone suggested burning the corpse.

Thus, killing the mutated ghost Sister Soo Juan seems to be a foregone conclusion. Even I felt that we should do it this way, but I didn't know why my grandfather wouldn't agree to it.

"The reason why I kept Soo Juan is not because it is pitiful. It is because I want to investigate the mastermind behind all of this. In the end, Soo Juan is merely a tool." Grandfather explained to everyone.

I could tell that my grandfather's heart seemed to be very agitated. My grandfather had always been a very calm person, not humble nor arrogant no matter what happened, and his emotions rarely fluctuated. But now, I felt that he was very upset, especially irritated, like how he retorted to my brother's words.

Afterwards, his grandfather distributed some talismans to everyone and taught them to stick it at home. After comforting everyone that nothing would happen tonight, everyone dispersed and returned home. However, there was still a trace of worry on their faces.

How could he not be worried when he didn't even know where the mastermind was?

Village...

It was shrouded in a black cloud.
