Zhujiazhuang, inside the ancestral temple shrouded in the light of Buddha.
After simply placing Mr. Zhu's body, Pei Wende took his third uncle and stepped into the eerie ancestral temple.
To Pei Wende's expectation, except for the huge hole in the ceiling, everything in the ancestral temple was a little quieter than he imagined.
The bright moonlight shines through the holes in the ceiling to the ground, and when combined with the seven-color Buddha light, it even has a different kind of beauty.
"Now I know how you 'buried' Zhu Yi Niang."
Standing quietly in the corner where the moonlight could not shine, Pei Wende, who was holding his breath, gave a helpless smile.
Because under the illumination of the moonlight and Buddha's light, a kind of gray-white "powder" is floating in the air, dancing as if it has its own spirituality.
Under the memorial tablet in the ancestral temple, a broken porcelain jar fell to the ground.
With just a simple observation, it is not difficult for outsiders to notice that the "powder" that is flying is clearly coming out of the jar.
As for the explosion that blasted through the ceiling and unleashed a host of evil spirits?
It was most likely caused by the sudden shattering and explosion of the porcelain jar.
"You are so cruel, you actually cremated and burned your own granddaughter."
With just one glance, Pei Wende determined that the gray-white "powder" was human ashes.
This era is not the 21st century. Unless they are infected with a highly contagious disease, few people will choose to cremate the bones of their relatives.
Because according to the inherent concepts of this era, even if it is a sworn enemy, abandoning the body in the wilderness is the limit, and it is rare to crush the body into ashes.
"With your actions alone, it will be difficult for Zhu Yiniang to rest in peace."
Facing Pei Wende's ridicule, the third uncle, who knew he was in the wrong, could only sigh.
"The widow was no longer in human form at that time. If we wanted to bring her into the ancestral temple, we could only cremate her."
The third uncle is different from Mr. Zhu. He does not have a strong sense of honor for his status and family reputation.
In the eyes of the third uncle, even if the widow is not a child, she is still a child that he has watched grow up. He does not want her to be unable to enter his own ancestral grave after her death.
For this reason, it became the third uncle's only insistence to cremate the deceased mother who had no human form, and then bring her to the ancestral temple to be quietly liberated and resettled.
So after several fruitless arguments, the stubborn Mr. Zhu finally chose to compromise.
"Not in human form?"
Keenly catching the key words in the third uncle's words, Pei Wende recalled the "immortal fate" mentioned by the other party before.
Pei Wende believed that the "inhuman form" mentioned by the third uncle was definitely more than a simple adjective.
But before Pei Wende could continue to ask more questions, the ashes dancing under the moonlight and Buddha light began to undergo strange changes.
tumultuous!
As if ignited by flames, dark light emanated from the ashes.
Under the shroud of these dark lights, everything around him seemed to be distorted, and a mental world that seemed both real and illusory was gradually taking shape.
Just like the underworld corresponding to this ancestral temple, within the coverage of these dark lights, Pei Wende could feel a different dimension that was beginning to take shape.
What Pei Wende never expected was that he actually felt an extremely familiar force in this unformed different dimension.
It is the blessing of this kind of power that allows Zhu Yiniang to have the ability to arrest ghosts and form a mental world.
"I want to see who is behind this!"
A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Pei Wende did not resist the force, but allowed it to pull him into another different dimension.
Just like the world in the mirage painting, Pei Wende and Sanshu in the ancestral temple lost the concept of "space" and entered another mental space that was very different from reality.

tumultuous!
Almost at the same time, the barrier covering the entire ancestral temple dissipated, leaving a group of stunned villagers outside at a loss.
"What happened in there?"
Aunt Zhu, who was the latest to speak, broke the silence.
Because an ominous premonition was rising in Aunt Zhu's heart, and it was getting stronger and stronger.
Aunt Zhu has been practicing swordsmanship for decades and has been working outside for more than ten years. She has already raised her intuition to the level of spiritual awareness.
Whenever something dangerous to herself is about to happen, the warning sign from the Lingtai becomes a way of warning that goes beyond her thinking and instinct.
In the flash of lightning, Aunt Zhu stretched out her hand to grab Zhao Yanwei and Zhu Run beside her and lead them away from this place of right and wrong.
However, just as this thought came to mind, a ferocious roar suddenly came from beneath the earth.
"hold head high!"
An unknown vibration came from nowhere, causing the entire Zhujiazhuang to shake violently.
The next second, the ground beneath everyone's feet quickly collapsed and cracked, revealing ravines and cracks as dense as a spider web.
"careful!"
At this time, the dull-looking Zhao Yanwei suddenly shouted loudly with an aura that was inconsistent with his own.
Rumble...
As if in response to Zhao Yanwei's cry, countless ferocious auras surged out from the ground and quickly possessed the nearby villagers.
"ah!"
"It's so itchy..."
"What's this?"
"There's something growing on my body..."
Looking at the black energy possessing them in horror, everyone in Zhujiazhuang began to roar uncontrollably.
Either on the waist, under the armpits, or on the cheeks...
I saw jet-black scales growing out of everyone's bodies, making them look more like the incarnation of some kind of monster.
Not only that, as those black scales spread and grew, the villagers' eyes soon turned into red vertical pupils like wild beasts, full of cruelty and killing.
"What's going on?"
Just as the evil aura was about to spread to Zhu Run and the others, the sword in Aunt Zhu's hand suddenly burst into light.
tumultuous!
Runes and spells for subduing demons and exorcizing demons automatically appear on all eight sides of the sword, and the carefully carved hilt continuously emits low-frequency vibration sounds...
"These are...the evil energy of earth veins!"
With the blessing of the sword given by Pei Wende, Zhao Yanwei, who felt a little more at ease, explained in a low voice.
However, the Zhu sisters present all heard the fear and disbelief in Zhao Yanwei's words, which were emotions that the always dull Zhao Yanwei had never shown.
"There are countless Yuan Qi in the world, but this earth-line evil energy is the most violent and terrifying one."
