Encircled Village (5)

Hua Niang tilted her rotten flesh and bony head, swaying towards the man.

Her eyes were muddy and dull, pus flowing from the seven orifices, her five fingers had long fingernails glowing with black light, and her mouth screamed, making her actions much quicker than before.

“It seems that it has evolved into a walking corpse.” Zhao Jianyi touched his chin with one hand, and said in deep thought, “The walking corpse was born out of resentment. Is there any relationship between this person and this corpse?”

Huai Bai nodded in agreement, “Exactly.”

Zhao Jianyi wondered: “Master, what do you see?”

Huai Bai’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she slowly said, “As soon as I look at this person, I know that he dares to do everything except good things.”

Sui Nong was so frightened that his three souls came out of his body, and he sat down on the ground. When he heard the voice of Huai Bai, he seemed to see hope. He crawled over on all fours, crying in tears, “Immortal chief, save me, save me, this lady is going to kill me!”

(T/N: three souls is in reference to hun and po, which is a concept of Daoism where there are three yang souls that come out of the body on death and seven yin souls that stay on the corpse after death)

Huai Bai hugged Pei Yu and backed away several steps, avoiding the dusty fat hands.

Zhao Jianyi also closed his eyes, and his voice sounded very sincere, “A gentleman is a beast, he sees his life, yet he can’t bear to see his death. You just stay away.”

At this moment, Hua Niang was standing in front of Sui Nong, Sui Nong shuddered and crawled back looking at Hua Niang’s rotten and pus-filled face.

Hua Niang jumped up like a monkey and rushed on him, opening her mouth to bite on his neck.

The scent of corpses hits his face, and when he loses to nausea, he can see the deep black sharp teeth like a row of sharp blades, brushing with cold light, and cutting over to himself. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop Hua Niang’s mouth, his arms felt so heavy, the thick and disgusting dark green liquid fell on his face drop by drop.

Yang Ba and Song Wu were so frightened that their faces were like gold paper. Seeing that Hua Niang was only moving towards Sui Nong, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then they dared to secretly raise their eyes and look at the two immortal chiefs who were sitting on the sidelines.

The young man’s eyebrows are fine, his thin lips are slightly raised, and his face is thin and cool. The other woman with a green feather cloak in tsing yi has a pair of apricot eyes and a beautiful nose. She has a fair complexion and a gentle smile. She looks like a fairy, which is very amiable.

But they shrank their necks, and moved a little toward the young man. Facing the terrible sight of a corpse biting a person, she could still laugh so happily, this woman is really… terrible.

Sui Hong was exhausted, and his arm was continuously pressed down by the corpse. He didn’t dare to let go, only crying and begging: “Immortal chief, please help me. I am the cousin of the village head, I can give you a lot of money! There are women! I can give anything!”

When he heard the money, Zhao Jianyi immediately opened his eyes, “Oh? How much do you give?”

Huai Bai quipped: “Apprentice, you really have eyes open when you see money.”

The man hurriedly shouted: “Twelve taels of gold… no no, one hundred taels! One hundred taels! Please!” His arms were sore and painful, and his eyes squeezed down. Seeing that Hua Niang was about to bite himself, he doesn’t care about money.

(T/N: tael is a unit of measurement equivalent to 40 grams or 1.3 ounces)

“Hahaha, it’s done.” Zhao Jianyi took out a talisman and patted it behind Hua Niang. The body suddenly froze and fell straight forward. Sui Nong was weak in his hands, and he was face to face with the corpse. The rancid pus flowed into his mouth, which felt really… very sour.

Sui Nong rolled his eyes and fainted immediately.

“You drag him and lead the way.” Zhao Jianyi said a little bit to Yang Ba and Song Wu.

“Yes, yes.” These two dare not disobey, but Hua Niang’s appearance is really terrifying and tight. They approached with shaking legs, closed their eyes and gritted their teeth, and pulled Sui Nong from under the body with old strength.

They were working panting over there, while Zhao Jianyi and Huai Bai surrounded Pei Yu with concern.

Huai Bai covered Pei Yu’s eyes and said softly, “Apprentice, don’t be afraid, they are just doing tug-of-war, have you heard that, they are all using a lot of force! The big brother on the left, please come on!”

Yang Ba standing on the left listened, and he staggered at his feet, and dragged his feet harder.

Zhao Jianyi echoed: “Yes, yes, the two are at a stalemate now, and the battle is very fierce. The big brother on the right, you have to work hard!”

After Song Wu heard it, he glanced at Yang Ba, both of them had the same frowning faces, wishing to cry without tears.

Damn fat pig, why is it so heavy! They murmured secretly in their hearts.

Pei Yu stood obediently. Even if her eyes were covered, just with a movement of her mind, the embarrassed appearance of Song Wu and Yang Ba appeared in her mind. She curled her lips, raised her hand and gently touched the back of Huai Bai’s hand. The fingers have a jade-like texture, which is somewhat similar to the red carp around her neck.

The child’s fingertips are cold.

The back of her hand seemed to be licked by a poisonous snake, and Huai Bai’s body trembled slightly, and there was a vaguely strange feeling in her heart, as if she was being stared at by some beast.

She didn’t take this intuition into her heart, but stared at the poor little child who was standing upright, a little worried. The child ran into the blood mist at a young age, and she didn’t know what she saw or whether she would have a psychological shadow in the future.

“Pei Yu,” Huai Bai unwrapped the long silk ribbon, draped the big cloak of green feathers on the girl, and covered the girl’s eyes with a green satin band, and then she took her hand and said softly: “Follow me.”

The cool breeze blew, Huai Bai coughed slightly, and Zhao Jianyi asked nervously: “Master, do you feel uncomfortable?”

Huai Bai smiled helplessly: “How can I be so delicate.”

Is Master’s body bad? Pei Yu lowered her head, feeling a little strange in her heart. The master of the previous life was obviously very healthy.

There are too many variables in this life.

“By the way, I just saw the feng shui eye spot here. Someone used blood to draw a ghost charm.” Huai Bai said softly, “I thought the blood mist was a man-made disaster, but after the spell was used to break the blood charm, the mist was still not dispersed.”

Zhao Jianyi was also surprised, “What kind of deep hatred is it that they used such a shameful method. Two elder brothers, do any monks in your village have any grudges?”

Yang Ba thought for a while, and patted his head, “It must be that Daoist priest!”

Song Wu echoed: “Yes! It must be him!”

Huai Bai covered her lips, her eyes in crescents, “Daoist? Could it be that our Immortal Sect disciple failed?”

In the realm of cultivation, different schools dress differently when traveling down the mountain. Immortal Sect disciples are used to dressing up as Daoist priests, while disciples of Zhuangzi Saints likes to wear Confucian shirts and pretend to be gentle scholars. Mo Sect disciples takes “economical use” as the motto, so after the disciples leave the prominent cities, they often take on jobs that are shameful in the realm, such as being bodyguards and errand runners.

“Ah?” Yang Ba opened his mouth wide, and asked in shock and horror: “What, what, is that person in the same school as you?”

Zhao Jianyi curled his lips and said, “Who knows? Let me talk about how you settled your grievances first.”

Yang Ba glanced at Pei Yu, his eyes flickering, and he faltered: “No, nothing, but he is a liar, we saw through him, and then…”

Huai Bai stopped, smiled and said, “Jianyi, let’s take your junior sister home first.”

Zhao Jianyi understood, “Yes, it takes place once every ten years. It would be a pity to delay the time.”

Song Wu and Yang Ba were shocked, “Immortal chiefs, are you not going to save us?”

Zhao Jianyi frowned and said bitterly: “You dare not even tell the truth, how do we save each other? Or do not waste each other’s time, you should also go back earlier and prepare the coffin for yourself.”

“I said! I said!” Song Wu hurriedly said: “The immortal chief must not leave us!”

Then he ignored Yang Ba’s persuasion and slowly said a disaster two months ago.

A woman died in Yan Village two months ago.

After she died, she turned into a ghost, killing more than ten people, causing trouble in the village and put everyone in danger.

At this time, a Daoist priest came and said that he could get rid of evil spirits, so he opened the altar that night. However, he was weak. He was seriously injured by the female ghost and he became angry. He blamed the innocent villagers and forced them to pay compensation, and was finally driven out of the village.

“It must be that he didn’t receive the money, so he made a trick to harm us!” Song Wu said viciously.

“Oh?” Huai Bai chuckled, “So, isn’t it my fellow student?”

Song Wu said hurriedly, “Dare not, that Daoist is really hateful! But how can you be like him?”

After hearing such flattery, Huai Bai lowered her head slightly, with a shy look, “You have praised me, since that’s the case, what about the female ghost in the end?”

Song Wu lowered his eyes, deliberately ignored the child walking in the middle, lowered his voice and said, “We have paid a lot of money to invite a little saint from Zhuangzi Saints to come and beat her to death.”

Huai Bai let out an “Ah”, as if she was spooked out her mind by those four words. It took her a long time to sigh softly and warmly: “That’s really tragic.”
