While he was meditating, the moment of tranquility was broken by a voice soon after.
"Have you just finished eating? Granny Chen."
A kind old man in his sixties, wearing plain clothes and with white hair but full of energy, was greeting Granny Chen in the courtyard.
"What brought you here? Village Chief Li." Granny Chen asked the welcoming Village Chief Li without raising her head.
"Grandma Chen, what are you talking about? I didn't just listen to what the villagers said, there is a stranger in our village, and I came here specifically to see him and get to know him." Li Cheng smiled awkwardly.
"Here, my grandson is right next to you. If you admit it, you can leave." Granny Chen looked at Village Chief Li coldly and said.
"I wonder what this little brother's name is? Where does he come from?"
Village Chief Li ignored Granny Chen and looked at Ye Bai to ask.
"My name is Liu Jie. I wonder if Village Chief Li has any advice?" Ye Bai asked calmly.
"I'm not talking about advice. I just came here to ask how long do you plan to stay here? If you need anything, feel free to come to me at any time." Village Chief Li smiled warmly.
"I just came here to see grandma. I won't stay long. If necessary, I will trouble the village chief. We are quite busy and have things to deal with. You see..."
Regarding Ye Bai's expulsion order, Village Chief Li also said goodbye and left very wisely.
"Alas! It's still a step too late. You kid insists on nagging. It will be difficult for you to leave now. He has probably sent someone to keep an eye on you."
Ye Bai looked at the village chief leaving and looked at his mother-in-law doubtfully and asked: "Mother-in-law, is there any problem?"
Grandma Chen sighed and said, "Then Li Cheng was able to find this place, probably because of his bad guy Niu Er's notification. You should pay more attention to yourself and leave as soon as you find an opportunity."
Ye Bai then asked: "What happened to my mother-in-law? I can't leave now. Can you explain it clearly to me now?"
Granny Chen sighed: "Then let me tell you a story."
"People in Longmian Village used to live and work in peace and contentment. As the village chief, Li Cheng was very responsible and always took care of everyone. He was loved by everyone. Until that day when his son's body was carried back, everything changed."
"He became taciturn from then on. Everyone thought he was too sad and didn't think much about it. Until the village suddenly encountered a disaster, children kept disappearing for no reason. Even after searching the village, they couldn't find the children suspected to be taken away by monsters. At this time, Li Cheng called on everyone Let's go look for it in the mountains together.
He took the lead and led the team to find corpses in a cave not long after. The children's whole bodies were withered and there was no blood at all. Everyone was frightened and at the same time saddened by what happened to these children. "
"Li Cheng ordered everyone to bury the body and asked people in the village not to go out at will."
At first everyone agreed with his opinion, but I knew he was a beast with a human face and a heart of a beast.
At this point, Granny Li paused for a while and said tremblingly: "I saw with my own eyes that he took the housekeeper and used witchcraft to kill my five-year-old granddaughter and drag her away...
Grandma Chen was already bursting into tears when she said this, her eyes showing hatred.
Hearing this, Ye Bai's pupils shrank and his expression became cold. He didn't say anything more.
"Then Li Cheng already knows some inhuman methods. I have been living till now just hoping that God will take away this beast."
Grandma Chen continued: "The village has changed now. Li Cheng told the villagers that there was a way to resurrect their children, and he even cast a spell himself to let everyone watch his son being resurrected by him. The villagers also believed it and believed that he was really true. The magic of immortality can bring the dead back to life."
"How is that possible! Even if a saint wants to rescue people from reincarnation, it is quite troublesome." Before Ye Bai could get confused, the second master's disdainful voice came to mind.
Granny Chen mocked: "But there is a problem with the people he resurrected. The resurrected people can only appear at night, and their expressions are dull. I don't know what they resurrected. But that bastard Li Cheng said that if he wants to resurrect a person, he must sacrifice Sacrifice someone."
Speaking of this, Grandma Chen's eyes were full of hatred: "Do you know? For those villagers who have lost their relatives and children, how crazy do they feel when they hear the word "resurrection"? Even if they sacrifice some lives, they are willing to mention the butcher's knife. They always hug I just wanted to try it out of luck."
"In order to resurrect his wife, Niu Er wielded a butcher knife and tied up a passing businessman, dragging him directly in front of Li Cheng."
"And just that night, someone saw Li Er and his wife walking by the river. The first case of this kind of thing will lead to more cases. It started with tying up some passing businessmen and doctors, and recently it evolved into people in the village also talking to each other. They started killing each other. They were all in a daze." Grandma Chen's mouth trembled at this time.
"That's it! It seems that I was targeted by this village chief." Ye Bai sneered.
Granny Chen stroked Ye Bai's head and reminded: "I don't know how many days I have left to live, but you are still young. If you have the chance, just run away."
"I know, mother-in-law, you don't have to worry about me, I'm smart, hehehe."
Ye Bai teased his mother-in-law and laughed, which somewhat dissipated the sadness.
When his mother-in-law came into the house to rest, Ye Bai was outside in the greenhouse, spreading some hay and meditating on the spot. At this time, the second master's voice came to his ears.
"It seems that the village chief knows some evil magic. The people he resurrected may have some remnant souls entering their bodies, and they may not be the remnant souls of the original body."
Ye Bai sneered thoughtfully: "His real purpose may be to make everyone kill each other. It seems that those children who died in the beginning were also his handiwork. According to what the mother-in-law just said, this Li Chenghui's evil method was also caused by him. It appeared after his son’s death, and it seems that there may be someone behind him who taught him this.”
"You want to get involved in this?"
"Alas! Now if I don't interfere, others won't necessarily let me go. Besides, I've eaten a bowl of rice from my mother-in-law, so I always have to do something for her. Whatever I can do, I naturally don't mind getting rid of that beast." Ye Bai Sighed.
"As long as you think it's right. But it's still early, so you can go check out the situation." Er Ye suggested.
Ye Bai naturally also wanted to see some of the situation in the village so that he could deal with the next trouble.
Ye Bai packed up his things and said hello to his mother-in-law, who also reminded him to run away if he had the chance.
Ye Bai walked out with a smile. He had no intention of using his consciousness to explore the surrounding area. After all, his consciousness could only extend a dozen meters.
Ye Bai hid his aura and ran around the village at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to observe. He also quietly climbed over the wall and entered some villagers' houses to investigate.
After visiting more than a dozen houses, he discovered something strange. Several villagers actually had a corpse inside the house.
"Are these the resurrected people my mother-in-law mentioned?" Ye Bai muttered in a low voice.
"So that's it. These people are just empty shells. The bodies of the relatives that those stupid people saw at night are real, but these souls, hey hey hey!" The second master also laughed when he said this.
"How is the soul?" Ye Bai also asked hurriedly.
"Their own souls may have fallen into the Six Paths, or they may have been refined by Li Cheng, and finally used something similar to spiritualism to return some of the remaining souls controlled by him."
After listening to the second master's explanation, Ye Bai suddenly realized, and then asked: "Is Li Cheng doing this just to collect the essences of these people?"
"Maybe it's not just the soul, but even the essence, blood, flesh and blood. I'm not sure. The devil's methods are all for the purpose of quickly sacrificing living beings." The second master curled his lips dismissively.
"Looks like we have to be careful. I'd better fuse the essence and blood as soon as possible. It's better to improve a little bit." Ye Bai said seriously.
"Let's go, go back first." The second master was also urging him.
