"Please, help me, my old Lintou is indeed unforgivable, but my son and the villagers are innocent!"
I sighed: "Don't worry, since we took the initiative to ask you about the situation, we are naturally determined to solve this matter. Do you still remember where Meng Fanya's body is buried?"
Old Lintou nodded hurriedly and said: "Remember, remember!"
"Okay, take us there now!"
Old Lintou now treats me like a god and dares to say no. He immediately called the son next door, and then asked Lin Tao to find a few tribesmen and planned to take us to find the burial place of Meng Fanya.
Lin Tao and the Lin family were originally wondering why Old Lin went to dig a hole in the middle of the night, but after seeing Lin Xiaoqi and me, they didn't dare to ask any more questions, so Lin Tao carried Old Lin on his back, and the others brought shovels and hoes. , came with us to the outskirts of Bashui Township.
Old Lintou lay on Lin Tao's back and guided us all the way along the narrow path, passing through a wasteland and a forest, and finally stopped under an old locust tree.
"If I remember correctly, it should be under this locust tree."
I nodded and said one word directly: "Dig!"
Seven or eight descendants of the Lin family spat into their hands and began to work.
In order to prevent his whereabouts from being exposed, Lao Lintou dug the hole very deep. The group dug for nearly an hour, but still saw no sign of the body.
A few people rested for a few minutes, picked up their shovels and were about to continue working. Suddenly, I seemed to catch a glimpse of something with my peripheral vision and quickly stopped them.
"etc!"
As I said that, I jumped into the pit and dug my hands into the soil. Gradually, a white shroud appeared in my sight.
When Lonnie and Bai Ze saw this, they quickly jumped down to help. Not long after, with the help of everyone in the Lin family, the tied white shroud was carried under the old locust tree.
By this time, everyone in the Lin family had already guessed what might be in the shroud, and they all stayed far away, not daring to come forward.
Lonnie and I looked at each other, and we both stepped forward at the same time, cut the ropes one by one, and slowly unfolded the shroud.
Finally, Meng Fanya, who had been buried underground for more than ten years, appeared in front of us again.
As I expected, a strand of long hair hung down from the corpse's head, covering her face, making it impossible to see her face clearly.
When everyone in the Lin family saw this, they were all frightened and their legs were shaking.
I carefully lifted up the long hair on the corpse, and at the same time took out the soil stuffed into Meng Fanya's mouth and ears. Only then did Meng Fanya's complete appearance appear in front of everyone.
She was dressed in plain clothes, her eyes were slightly closed, and her eyelashes were all distinct, as if she was asleep.
Meng Fanya's body, which had been dead for more than ten years, was actually so well preserved that it didn't even show any signs of decay!
The moment he saw Meng Fanya's body, Old Lintou couldn't bear it anymore. He jumped off Lin Tao's back and crawled to Meng Fanya's side, unable to kneel down!
"Daughter, I hurt you, I'm sorry for you!"
"It was my obsession that led to your innocent death. Old man, I don't ask for your forgiveness. I just hope that you can let go of my son and my Lin family. Old man, I am willing to bear all responsibilities!"
When Lin Tao saw this, he understood everything, and immediately knelt down with Lao Lintou, choking with tears.
I let out a long sigh and asked the Lin family members to help Old Lintou and Lin Tao up, then lit a yellow talisman and placed it next to Meng Fanya.
"Your death back then was a tragedy, but it did not harm your family. Old Lintou has promised to shoulder his responsibilities. Just let his descendants go and let ashes return to ashes and soil return to soil."
As soon as he finished speaking, a mountain wind suddenly blew, and the leaves of the old locust trees swayed, making strange sounds.
Immediately, under the gaze of everyone, Meng Fanya's body instantly turned into ashes and disappeared.
After the mountain wind blew away, only a skeleton was left on the shroud.
I let out a long sigh and called Lin Tao and everyone in the Lin family over.
"Bury the bones, contact her biological father and mother another day, and let them take away the bones."
When Lin Tao saw this, he quickly knelt down.
"Thank you, Master Cheng, for saving your life. Lin Tao will never forget it!"
I waved my hand: "Don't thank me in a hurry, the matter is not over yet."
"Tomorrow night, take your father on your back and come with us to the Meng family's old house. Meng Fanya's soul is still lingering there. She must be converted before this matter can be completely resolved."
Lin Tao now obeyed my words and quickly nodded in agreement.
"Okay, Master Cheng, we all listen to you!"
After everything was done, the sky had turned a touch of fish belly white. I asked everyone in the Lin family to go home and rest. I, along with Lonnie and Bai Ze, planned to go back to rest first.
"Mr. Cheng, wait a moment."
Lin Xiaoqi walked over quickly and bowed respectfully to me.
"Master Cheng, I finally understand that you are the real masters. Compared with you, my three-legged cat's kung fu is nothing."
"I have offended many of you before, I hope you won't take offense."
I smiled lightly: "Master Lin is serious. As a disciple, it is our duty to drive away evil spirits. But don't forget what you promised us before."
"Of course, of course!"
Lin Xiaoqi said quickly: "As long as this matter is resolved, I will tell you everything I know!"
I nodded: "By the way, Master Lin, I see that your Yintang is darkened. It should be because you don't have enough magic power and you have been frequently exposed to evil things recently. If you don't take countermeasures in time, you may be in some trouble." "
Lin Xiaoqi immediately became anxious: "Master Cheng, what should I do? I hope you will give me some advice!"
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you solve the problem together after I finish solving Lao Lintou's matter."
"Well, I'll thank you in advance!"
Lin Xiaoqi immediately raised her hand, overjoyed.
Lonnie, Bai Ze and I returned to the guest room, ate something and slept again. In the evening, Lin Tao came to the door carrying Lao Lintou on his back.
"Master Cheng, when should we set off?"
"Don't worry, Meng Fanya's ghost will only appear after nightfall. It's useless for us to go there now."
Lin Tao and his son had no choice but to suppress their anxiety and wait patiently with us.
At ten o'clock in the evening, I saw that it was almost time, so I called Lonnie and Bai Ze, and asked Lin Tao's father to follow me, and we went to the Meng family's old house together.
Arriving at an old house where many people had died, Lin Tao was still instinctively afraid.
