When Sheng Ling and the others arrived in the village, they found that the situation was a little different from what they had imagined.

originally thought that the old woman's death began with being abandoned by her son, and the first person her resentful spirit wanted to take revenge on was her son. But in fact, on the contrary, when they arrived, the whole village was killed by her, and the deaths were extremely tragic, and the only survivors in the village were her son's family.

He Zichen was both shocked and angry at this fact, feeling that even the resentful spirit was too indiscriminate.

The so-called wronged debtor has the owner, and instead of going to the murderer for revenge, he implicates the innocent, thinking that this old woman is not a good person in the first place, so he mentions that he doesn't need to overtake her, and directly beats her to the point that her soul is scattered.

But He Ziyang couldn't bear it, and he didn't believe that the old woman would be so sinister, thinking that there must be a reason, and said that it was better to ask clearly before making a decision.

The two had an argument, but the decision was still in Sheng Ling's hands. As many times before, when the two had different opinions, Sheng Ling always stood by He Ziyang's side without hesitation, and this time it was still the case.

Sheng Ling recited the incantation, and He Ziyang helped him with the sound of a flute with purifying power, and under the joint purification of the two, the dark black resentment on the old woman's soul dissipated little by little, revealing a kind face.

She looked at the corpses all over the village, and was a little dazed for a moment, she couldn't believe that she had committed such a crime.

"This ...... It's not me, it's not ......me," the old woman's ghost floated in the air, shaking her head incessantly.

"Why not you? It's you! ”

He Zichen couldn't stand it, the lives of hundreds of people in the village were not something that could be made up for by a so-called "repentance", he scolded: "Open your eyes and see, these villagers were all killed by you!" What crimes did they commit? You crazy old woman, why don't you look for your son if you really want revenge? ”

"It's not me, it's really not me...... It's it! It was it that made me do it! I was just...... I'm just bewitched......" The old woman's voice was old and weak, and there was endless repentance in her eyes, but not a single tear could be shed.

Sheng Ling frowned slightly, looking a little puzzled, He Ziyang hurriedly asked, "Mother-in-law, you sue us, who is it?" Who told you to do it? ”

"I don't know who it is...... In the mountains...... "The old woman's voice grew softer and weaker, and she glanced one last time in a certain direction before disappearing.

He Zichen looked in that direction, and pulled out the trembling middle-aged man from behind the stone grinding, which was the son of the old woman.

The man shrunk into a ball, was grabbed by He Zichen's hair and raised his head, seeing that his mother's resentment finally dissipated, he breathed a long sigh of relief, knelt down with palpitations, and thanked again and again: "Thank you for the life-saving grace of a few little immortals, thank you for the life-saving grace!" ”

He Ziyang looked at the rest of his life after the catastrophe with a look on his face, and couldn't help asking, "Your mother is dead, aren't you sad?" ”

"Sad? Why should I be sad? I don't think she's clean enough! This old guy was very eye-catching when he was alive, and he came out to do evil when he died, you see, how many people have been killed......" The man said indignantly, "As the so-called 'righteous annihilation of relatives', this old thing commits such a sin, and it should never be reborn!" ”

"Shut up, you!" He Zichen kicked the man out of the way, and gave him a curse in disgust.

This spell is called a hundred ghosts, the person who is cursed will be haunted by nightmares for a lifetime, countless evil ghosts destroy their minds, and the person who is in this curse is often either dead or crazy, which belongs to some poisonous forbidden arts. But this time, even the softest-hearted He Ziyang did not stop it.

Perhaps there are people who will never be condemned by their conscience, so let them be haunted by evil spirits night and night, and they will not be able to sleep for the rest of their lives.

"What now, shall we go for a walk in the mountains?" After surpassing the souls of the villagers, He Zichen asked the other two.

Before the old woman disappeared, she said that she had been bewitched by something in the mountains to commit this heinous sin, and He Zichen himself didn't believe it very much, but he thought that his kind brother and conscientious son wanted to find out the truth, and he himself thought that he was going to the mountains to play, and he didn't mind accompanying them.

Sheng Ling nodded in agreement, and the group of three walked towards the mountain.

There are many ghosts in the mountains, and it is difficult to figure out who bewitched the old woman's resentful spirit, but let them clean up a few evil spirits.

He Zichen ran to the trees for a while, and chased the beasts in the mountains for a while, completely as if he was playing.

"Hey, what's that? Ziyang, Shengling, look! He saw something when he looked far away from a high rock, and hurriedly called out to his companions.

Sheng Ling jumped to He Zichen's side, looked in the direction he signaled, his expression became a little solemn, and stretched out a finger to that side, indicating that he wanted to go over and take a look.

He Ziyang climbed the rock, also looked over there, and immediately exclaimed. I saw a craggy cave on the mountain wall, and there was a faint black gas in the cave, which was obviously daytime, but it looked ghostly.

"That, could it be the place that the mother-in-law said?" He Ziyang guessed.

He Zichen was simply jumping off the rock, and said as he walked: "It doesn't matter if it's or not, let's go and see it first." Sheng Ling and He Ziyang followed.

When I looked at it from afar, I felt that the cave was strange, but when I got closer, I found that it was no different from an ordinary cave, neither fairy grass nor evil spirits, it was an ordinary cave, but the tunnel in the cave looked quite tortuous and profound.

He Zichen was a little unwilling, so he brought yì inside to take a look, maybe there was something unexpected in this inconspicuous cave.

He Ziyang was a little hesitant, no matter how ordinary this cave looked now, he always remembered the chilling glance when he looked at it from a distance before, and there was some indescribable fear in his heart, but he was quite interested in seeing He Zichen, and Sheng Ling seemed to agree, so he had to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.

At that time, He Ziyang must not have thought that he would just turn around in his mind "sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman", and it would become a prophecy.

The passage in the cave seems to be dark and deep, but it is not very long, but after a few turns, the night pearl for lighting has just been taken out for a while, and the light is easy to appear. I thought it would lead to a cave far away, but it was the end of a cup of tea.

He Zichen felt a little disappointed, but since he had already come, he still planned to go over there and take a look.

On the way to the entrance of the cave in front of me, there were many white bones scattered on the ground, which seemed to be of various beasts and birds, and the closer to the entrance of the cave became, the denser it became.

"This, what kind of place is this, how can there be so many bones?" He Ziyang beat a drum in his heart, and couldn't help but pull He Zichen's sleeve, and said carefully, "Zichen, let's go back." ”

"Wait, let's go check it out." He Zichen continued to walk over there unconcernedly, seeing that He Ziyang seemed to be a little scared, he comforted casually, "Probably some beast has lived, some residual bones are normal, Ziyang, don't be afraid, even if something happens, I will protect you." ”

As they spoke, a few people arrived at the entrance of the cave at that end, and when they were about to step out, He Zichen, who had been striding in front, suddenly paused, and sighed half palpitations and half amazement-

Beyond this cave is an unfathomable abyss!

He Zichen inadvertently kicked a broken bone with his toes, and the white broken bone instantly disappeared into the thick darkness, and there was no echo for a long time.

He Ziyang glanced at it, and subconsciously pulled He Zichen back a small step, he felt that the feeling of this abyss was very similar to the feeling of looking at the mouth of the cave from afar before, and he always felt that there was something terrible hidden in the darkness where there was no light.

Since there was an abyss in front of him, the original idea of going out to explore naturally fell through, and He Zichen no longer paid attention to that side, but looked down at the piles of bones under his feet.

"Huh?" As if he had found something interesting, he bent down to pick it up.

At this time, Sheng Ling's eyes, who had been silently thinking about something, flashed, as if he had remembered something, and his expression suddenly became cautious and vigilant, and he grabbed the hands of the other two and pulled them out of the cave.

He Zichen's hand had just touched a bone, and before he could pick it up, he was interrupted by Sheng Ling's movements, and he couldn't help but shout: "Hey! What are you doing? I haven't picked up the baby yet! ”

Ignoring his protests, Sheng Ling's hand was amazingly strong, pinching the wrists of the two of them painfully, like a gust of wind speeding away towards the outside of the cave. He Zichen felt that he and Ziyang were like two clothes belts on Sheng Ling's body, and they were dragged so that they almost floated.

It wasn't until they were about a mile away from the cave that Sheng Ling let go of them.

He Zichen raised his hand to take a look, only to see that his wrists were pinched red, he rubbed his wrists, saw Ziyang put his right hand behind him, and hurriedly grabbed his hand, only to see that the wrist was faintly blue, Ziyang has always been afraid of pain, and he let Sheng Ling drag him along the way without saying a word, and he didn't know how much he suffered.

He Zichen didn't plan to worry about it, but when he saw the bruises on Ziyang's wrists, he felt a little unhappy, he glanced at Sheng Ling who looked solemn next to him, crossed his hands in front of his chest and said, "Say, why are you in such a hurry to pull us out?" ”

His tone was lazy, but there was a hint of meanness in his listening.

"Zichen, don't make trouble!" He Ziyang frowned and blamed, "You know that the Holy Son can't speak. ”

"yes, I forgot." He Zichen patted his head, paused, and said in a relaxed tone, "I just want to know the reason, I can't be dragged away like a dead pig for some reason, I don't know why, right?" ”

Sheng Ling glanced at him, pointed in the direction of the cave, and shook his head again, although he couldn't speak, he could roughly make people understand the meaning.

He Zichen raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean...... Not to stay here for long? ”

Sheng Ling nodded.
