Hundreds of people approached in an instant and surrounded Lonnie and me.
"Who are you two? Why are you here!"
A majestic-looking old man walked out with his hands behind his back and asked sternly.
"Don't get me wrong, the two of us are masters who help people. We passed by your village and found that the place was filled with black air, so we came to check it out!"
I explained quickly.
"No, didn't you just say you were here for camping?"
However, as soon as I finished speaking, the old man I had just spoken to came out, looked at me questioningly and said.
"Village chief, don't believe them, these two people are not telling the truth!"
The majestic-looking old man nodded and said coldly: "Just after the divine turtle disappeared, these two guys came to Laojing to sneak around. I think they might have stolen the ghost away!"
"Everyone, arrest them, don't let them escape!"
The village chief gave the order, and the other villagers approached instantly. Lonnie and I couldn't argue, and were anxiously thinking about how to rush out from the crowd.
swish swish...
Suddenly, the sycamore tree next to the old well made a rustling sound. There was no wind blowing at this time, but the sycamore tree kept shaking!
The villagers stopped immediately and looked at the sycamore tree in horror, not knowing what was going on.
At this moment, there was only a creaking sound, and a rope suddenly hung down from the depths of the sycamore tree, and on the rope, a woman in white was tied!
The woman's face was pale, her head was tilted to one side, her neck was already bruised from the strangulation, and her whole body was shaking.
Creak, creak...
As if on a swing, the woman swayed and giggled. This scene made people's scalp numb!
"Ah! Ghost!"
When the villagers saw this, they couldn't help but screamed in fright, and ran away in panic. But before they could run a few steps, they heard a bang and everyone fell to the ground.
At some point, an invisible barrier appeared all around, and all the villagers were trapped inside!
The female ghost smiled, stretched out her nails instantly, and grabbed a villager.
The villager was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, unable to do anything but scream.
Seeing that the female ghost's nails were about to pierce the villagers' throats, I quickly took the lead and whipped out the King of Wu whip!
Snapped!
A golden light flashed, and black smoke suddenly appeared from the female ghost's body. It was so painful that she immediately retracted her hand, and a pair of eyes with only white eyes stared at me!
"Dammit, come on!"
I waved to the female ghost, showing a disdainful gesture.
The female ghost was immediately irritated, broke free from the rope, and rushed towards me.
I tiptoed to avoid the female ghost's attack, and at the same time, I punched out an exorcism charm.
The female ghost immediately fell to the ground, her body convulsed, and Lonnie also took the opportunity to step forward and strike out with her palm.
boom!
Suddenly, as the flames flashed, the female ghost immediately turned into ashes and disappeared.
"Okay, the evil ghost has been eliminated by us, no need to be afraid."
Then I turned around and said to the villagers.
After a brief period of shock, the villagers reacted instantly and knelt down one after another.
"Thank you, Master, for saving your life. We are grateful!"
"We just misunderstood Master, I hope Master won't be offended!"
The old village chief also came over at this time and said respectfully: "Two masters, we were blind just now, I'm sorry!"
"It doesn't matter,"
I waved my hand and said to the village chief: "Village Chief, in fact, we are here this time specifically to help you solve the problem of the missing turtle."
When the village chief heard this, he was overjoyed: "That's great. If you two can help us find the turtle, we in Tuyugou will pay any price!"
"Sorry, I guess the turtle will never be found again. It has already entered someone else's stomach."
I said somewhat helplessly.
"What!"
When the village chief heard this, he was stunned and the surrounding villagers also opened their eyes wide with shock on their faces.
"Who dares to eat a divine turtle? How audacious!"
"That's right, Master, tell us quickly who did it, and we must pay him the price!"
The villagers clenched their fists one by one and said indignantly.
"Actually, the person who ate the turtle didn't know about it, and she is also undergoing endless torture now. What you have to do is to help me find the person who took the turtle and sold it!"
Immediately, I told everyone about someone taking the turtle to the aquatic product market to sell it.
"The person who sold the turtle is exactly you from Tuyugou. That's why we found this place to find out the truth so that we can find a solution to the problem!"
After hearing my explanation, the villagers were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other. There was a hint of suspicion in everyone's eyes when they looked at each other.
"I know they captured the turtle!"
Just when everyone was suspicious, a peasant woman suddenly walked out of the crowd and shouted loudly.
"Second Aunt, who is that person? Tell everyone quickly!"
"Yes, who is that person? We will not let him go easily!"
Everyone urged eagerly.
The peasant woman nodded, then swept her hand through the crowd and pointed at one of them.
"That's her!"
I followed the woman's gaze, and people on both sides avoided her. Standing there was a woman in her thirties.
This woman had pretty features and simple clothes. She was holding a five or six-year-old child in her hand. There was a trace of astonishment on her face, as if she hadn't reacted yet.
"I, I didn't..."
"Stop quibbling!"
Before she could finish speaking, the woman said sharply: "Widow Liu, others don't understand you, do you think I don't understand you?"
"How many times have you told me that you have no man, your family is poor, and you don't want to spend money to sacrifice to the turtles. You also said that this is some kind of superstitious activity. It's better to sell the gods and ghosts for money. I have already seen it. You are dissatisfied."
"And in the whole village, you are the only one who married from out of town and never believed in the story of the turtle. Who else could be there besides you?"
Facing the woman's accusation, Widow Liu's eyes were filled with tears and her eyes were full of confusion.
"No, I really didn't do it. I said that, but I will never violate everyone's bottom line for my own selfishness!"
Widow Liu looked at the woman and said bitterly: "Second Aunt, I have always regarded you as my best friend, why do you do this to me?"
"What a best friend? How dare you steal the turtles and sell them for money? I don't have a best friend like you!"
