Chapter 1412: Something Wrong With Feng Yuanlin
“I accepted this thing before!”
“I did, too!”
“What should I do? What should I do? Am I going to die? I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!”
“I don’t want to die either! Why did I come to this village?”
It could be said that a person’s true nature was revealed at the moment of life and death. Now that it was a matter of life and death, everyone remembered how it was Director Wang who had called them together to invite in this Buddha. However respectful they had been of him then was how much they resented him now.
Someone deliberately lashed out and said directly to Director Wang, “Director Wang, I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die! If I die, can you compensate me for my life? Why the hell did we come to this village back then? Film Emperor Ruan and Brother Kun were right. There are ghosts in that village. Yes, there are ghosts! We should have left long ago! We should have left long ago!”
The more this person spoke, the crazier he became. He was probably scared out of his wits. His voice was hoarse and filled with regret, and many people on the side were riled up as they echoed him.
In the headlights, Chi Shuyan saw Director Wang suddenly stagger a few steps and almost fall to the ground. His face was deathly white and his vision turned black. His lips trembled and his whole body shook even more violently. Fortunately, Song Yanru was supporting him.
Song Yanru’s face was already unsightly to begin with. After listening to the others blame Director Wang for everything that had gone wrong, her expression was livid and very terrible.
Song Yanru wasn’t the only one with ugly expressions. Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun, Yan Zhengming, Song Chu, Cao Zhengsong and the others also had very terrible expressions.
In their opinion, although Director Wang was partly to blame, it was very wrong to push all the blame on him. He wasn’t the only one who had come to this village. Besides, who would ever imagine that they would encounter such a strange and terrifying thing?
It could only be said that they were unlucky to run into this calamity.
Yan Zhengming, Ruan Shenglin and the others immediately retorted.
Chi Shuyan and Feng Yuanlin looked at each other. Neither of them wanted to waste time playing the blame game. Feng Yuanlin had a lot of conjectures at that moment, and Chi Shuyan could guess 70 to 80% of what Brother Feng was going to say.
She thought of the nine drawings she had seen at the temple. The most important thing now was to deal with the village chief. She walked over to Brother Feng, whispered a few words in his ear, and was about to leave.
It was just that before she could leave, someone else screamed on the side again. This time, it wasn’t just one person, but three. Mud suddenly fell out of thin air to cover the three of them. In a few seconds, it covered them up to their chests. The three of them were simply scared out of their wits and pissed their pants as they shouted for help. “Don’t bury me! Don’t bury me! Help… help!”
Unexpected incidents happened again and again, scaring everyone.
The more the three struggled, the more the mud wrapped around them like they were mummies. As soon as they were wrapped up, the mud dried tightly around them. Their chests and lungs were squeezed so tightly that they couldn’t breathe at all. The three were so scared that they cried and screamed in despair.
Chi Shuyan was stunned for half a second before she reacted and quickly stuck Exorcism Talismans on the three of them. With a golden flash, the mud immediately disappeared, and two people collapsed on the ground, their bodies twitching in fright. Yellow liquid covered their pants and the ground.
By the time she stuck a talisman on the third person, he was almost fully covered. Suddenly, a pile of mud smashed down on the person’s head, instantly burying him fully, and he stopped breathing on the spot.
Then, with a bang, a Buddha statue wrapped in mud fell to the ground.
The person in question was called Yang Jia. Everyone clearly saw what happened, and their vision turned black in shock. Director Wang looked at Yang Jia, who was wrapped tightly in mud, and then at the Buddha statue wrapped in mud on the ground. He felt a dense chill seep into his bones, and his world spun. Unable to take the stimulation, his vision turned black and he fainted.
As soon as Director Wang fainted, the more cowardly ones also fainted from fright.
Chi Shuyan stared fixedly at the Buddha statue wrapped in mud on the ground with an ugly expression. What Celestial Master would be in a good mood when they saw something happen to a living person in front of them?
Someone died again. The others, who had just calmed down and hadn’t fainted, not only exploded in screams, there was chaos everywhere. Fortunately, no one ran around. All of them clutched their heads and pulled at their hair as they collapsed and cried in despair. Their faces were very crazy and panicked.
“I don’t want to die… I don’t want to die!”
“I don’t want to die either, I don’t want to die!”
Chi Shuyan looked around. Even Yan Zhengming, Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun were so scared that they trembled. One could imagine how stimulating this incident was for everyone.
Chi Shuyan only sympathized a little with the unlucky ones, and didn’t feel anything else. After all, she had passed on the message earlier through Ruan Shenglin not to invite in that so-called True Buddha Lord. They hadn’t listened back then, and it was useless to regret it now. To be honest, she didn’t really want to interfere in this matter.
She couldn’t even take care of herself, so how could she take care of others?
She still wanted to immediately take Brother Feng and the others away from the village. When she thought of the upcoming earthquake, her face darkened.
Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin trembled as they looked up. Seeing that Master Chi was about to leave, they came back to their senses. Seeing that Master Chi didn’t want to bother with them, their lips trembled in fear.
They said anxiously, “Master Chi…”
Chi Shuyan raised her wrist and looked at the time. It was almost midnight, and her face was very unsightly. She was really in a hurry.
When these people invited that so-called True Buddha Lord in back then, they lost the upper hand. It was useless to just stand around here. She saw Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin staring at her with pale faces, terrified and cautious, then at the others on the side, who were in despair and scared out of their wits.
In the end, she wasn’t cold-blooded enough to ignore whether or not these people lived or died.
Moreover, she was now on the path of a cultivator. Although she had jumped out of the karmic cycle, she was still bound by the heavens. She was afraid that these people would become thorns in her heart when she cultivated in the future. The gains didn’t make up for the losses. She might as well help them out in passing, and bear out her friendship with Ruan Shenglin and the others.
Before she returned to the village, she said to them, “Don’t worry, I won’t leave you in the lurch. You didn’t invite that Buddha in back then, so you’ll be fine. As for the others…” At this point, she glanced coldly at the chaotic and terrified crowd and said, “You guys sort out these people first! If anything happens to anyone else, don’t forget the talismans I gave you before. However, don’t forget to keep a few to protect your lives. I’ll be back soon!”
Chi Shuyan took a few steps before she thought of something. She stopped and still wanted to say a few more words. For some reason, she suddenly looked up and saw black mist gathering on Brother Feng’s back. She felt an inexplicable chill in her heart. Soon, the strange and intangible Buddha became clearer and clearer, and it smiled malevolently at her. Chi Shuyan’s face turned livid. In the next second, she saw Brother Feng suddenly drop to his knees on the ground and vomit mouthfuls of blood in pain.
Chi Shuyan was horrified. “Brother Feng!”
