She put away the book in her hand, left the long table, and walked to Su Po.
I backed away without waiting for Shen Ji to speak, and the wolf mastiff followed me to the side.
The other villagers got out of our way and surrounded Sopo on three levels inside and three outside.
"You are from Ji Niang Village." Shen Ji's cold and solemn words echoed in the courtyard.
Su Po reluctantly raised her head, her face tightened, and her eyes seemed as if nothing had happened.
But from her aura, I could still vaguely feel her fear.
"You are the Soupo elected by the village! You are the maid who serves the Bun Niang, but you have betrayed the village, betrayed your destiny, and tarnished the reputation of the word Soupo!"
"Not only that, you also want to kill the whole village. You really disappoint me, the master, and even the village!"
Shen Ji's cold voice was full of majesty, and his words were full of murderous intent.
"I should have sentenced you to death immediately, but you can't die so easily because you still have something to say."
The moment these words fell, Su Po could no longer suppress the fear in her eyes.
She made a whining sound from her mouth, and her ferocious face showed sternness and determination.
She obviously wanted to bite her tongue, but I had already stuffed a cloth in her mouth, how could she possibly bite it?
"How did you collude with that outsider to invade the village? Tell me clearly, otherwise."
Shen Ji's voice paused, and she looked at me again, and suddenly said: "Luo Shiliu, please leave first. This is the business of Ji Niang Village itself, and it is not suitable for outsiders to hear."
I didn't ask any questions, took the wolf mastiff with me, turned around and walked out.
But I was vaguely frightened. What kind of punishment was the capital punishment in Bunniang Village?
Soupa collapsed halfway before walking. Is this probably the reason why she was afraid?
Even after Shen Ji mentioned the death penalty, she wanted to bite her tongue and struggle again.
It is conceivable that this punishment must be cruel, and just thinking about it will make people collapse.
While thinking about it, I quickly walked out of the door and looked back. I saw that Su Po had been carried into the corridor next to her.
I didn't remind Shen Ji what to ask.
She may have asked more than I wanted to know.
This is related to the safety of Bunniang Village, and she will never take it lightly.
After returning to the yard, I first checked the injury on the right front leg of the wolf mastiff. The silver needle should have been shaken out by the wolf mastiff, but there was still some faint blood stains, and there was no sign of poisoning. I stroked its huge mastiff head, and my face relaxed a lot. The wolf mastiff rubbed my body, barked a few times, then twisted its body like a calf and returned to Feng Junfeng. Bao's room, I also turned around and went back to the room to rest.
I had very little rest in the past two days, but this sleep made me sleep very uneasy because I kept dreaming.
It started with the same dream as before.
I was standing on the foggy road. In front of me, in the Bunniang Village, was a girl holding a Bagua mirror.
Behind me is Ma Baoyi!
The only difference is that Su Po is missing.
There are three human heads hanging on Ma Baoyi's neck, one of which belongs to Su Po!
And at this time, Ma Baoyi in the dream looked even more gloomy than before.
The blood demons behind him even had dark blue talismans affixed to their heads. Even in my dream, this pressure made it difficult for me to breathe.
In the first half of the night, I was haunted by this nightmare. In the second half of the night, the dream began to change.
Ji Niang Village became desolate, with corpses everywhere.
Ma Baoyi was outside the priest's temple, with Mr. Yin stepping on him like a withered bone.
But in this dream, Shen Ji disappeared.
The depressing feeling turned into unspeakable heart palpitations.
When I woke up from my dream, the sun was already shining brightly in the house.
There is someone in my room...
And there's more than one...
Shen Ji sat beside my bed reading a book, while Jiang Meng stood respectfully behind Shen Ji.
"Are you awake?" Shen Ji said calmly.
I exhaled, rubbed my brows and sat up.
Looking at Shen Ji, I smiled bitterly in my heart.
That's it for Jiang Meng, she is limited by the rules, and her bun is still the same as before, not much has changed.
Abandoning the messy thoughts, I looked at Shen Ji with uncontrollable solemnity.
"You are very powerful. The fact that Sumo was injured to such an extent is not simply due to the wolf mastiff's ability. Sumo is very afraid of you. She said you are very weird, just like a haunting guest." Shen Ji looked at me with a look in his eyes. , obviously showing doubts and curiosity.
"..."
I didn't explain it, but I knew that the reason for this must be that Su Po attacked me with a silver needle. I didn't dodge at all, and the falling tiles helped me block the fatal blow. This scene frightened Suba.
"What did you ask about?" I took a deep breath and asked straight to the point.
"The reason why Ma Baoyi is so obsessed with bunniang is because bunniang has a way to create living corpses."
Shen Jiru said in a matter-of-fact manner: "The living corpse becomes an evil spirit. That's how the nine servants were made. This is what Ma Baoyi wants, and he also wants to study Ji Niang and obtain an feathered corpse. For exorcism, For craftsmen, the better the corpse, the more they desire and go crazy.”
My heart skipped a beat.
Because what Shen Ji said was too shocking.
The existence of living corpses is the result of a great obsession before death, so much so that one refuses to die and becomes a walking zombie while holding on to that breath.
The bun girl can actually make a living corpse? Those nine servants were indeed powerful. Blind Chen, Mrs. He, and me were basically suppressed by those servants.
As a corpse chaser, Ma Baoyi was indeed unable to resist the temptation, and there was also the corpse of the bun girl who was about to emerge.
In addition, I think the bun girl's burial scene and the view of the mountains are not attractive to Ma Baoyi.
After my thoughts settled, I was about to continue asking questions.
But Shen Ji seemed to know what I wanted to say, and said directly: "They originally wanted to use Shen Jiu to put corpse poison at a key water source in the village, and cannibalize the village from the inside. As soon as they released Shen Jiu and the others, I met you entering the village."
"Shu Po hates you so much that she wanted to use Shen Jiuli to kill you, but she didn't expect that you would kill eight of them instead."
"In a few months, a man who could only wield a wooden stick could fight eight people controlled by corpse poison with his bare hands. You scared Su Po. I am still surprised." Shen Ji continued.
I took a long breath, shook my head and said, "I was forced."
Shen Ji continued: "Ma Baoyi still doesn't know that Shu Po has been arrested, nor does he know that Shen Jiu and the others have been restrained by us. He is waiting. After waiting for three days, we should all be poisoned by corpse poison before he can enter. Village, I plan to lay out a dragnet so that he can’t escape.”
I shook my head again and said, "Suba's words cannot be trusted."
"You don't know what capital punishment means in Ji Niang Village. She wouldn't dare to lie to me." Shen Ji replied firmly.
"Ma Baoyi already knows, and if we fight in the village, we will definitely lose. You may die, and even I will die. You can't wait in the village, that is just sitting there and waiting to die!" I said in a deep voice, word by word.
Shen Ji frowned and said coldly: "Why? You don't understand the strength of Ji Niang Village." She retorted directly.
"When you become Mr. Yin Yang, you will know why. If you don't believe it, how about I tell you a fortune?" I raised my hand and took out the golden abacus.
