My rebuttal to the dead dog was obviously very reasonable, and Shi Mengya and Su Xue's expressions slowly relaxed. Suddenly, a dull sound of footsteps came from the wooden stairwell, and not only the few of them, but also I couldn't help but feel nervous.

The sound of that footstep was so strange, not like the usual people walking, but pausing again and again, and every step of the move stimulated our already tense nerves.

Shi Mengya and Su Xue were so frightened that they quickly shrank behind me, and from their hands leaning against me, I could feel that they were all trembling. The dead dog also turned behind me and complimented me in a low voice: "Ling Sen, you are still powerful, you don't move, you can quickly clean up that evil ghost as soon as possible." ”

I let out an embarrassed 'um' and couldn't help but cry out in my heart. How can I be sure that I will not be afraid of the evil spirits that have not yet appeared? Instead, I was thinking hard about what to do with it, and I was a little slower to react, and I didn't have time to retreat to the middle of the house to be in a good position, and use the wooden chair in the corner of the house to defend myself.

An expressionless man's face emerged from the entrance of the building, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his eyes, and he couldn't stop glancing at a few of us. Seeing his bookish face, my nervousness eased a little, and when I saw a shadow dragging behind him, I immediately became bold.

He has a shadow, and his footsteps are so heavy, then it's not a ghost. Since he is not a ghost and has an elegant face, will I still be afraid of him?

I sneered and said indifferently: "Don't be afraid, he is not a ghost, he may be from Xiling Village." ”

Shi Mengya and the others looked at me suspiciously, and then at the young people who stood in front of us without saying a word, probably also affected by my calmness, they were really no longer so afraid.

Su Xue trembled and asked, "Who are you?" How could you come here in the middle of the night? Look at your dead face, trying to pretend to be a ghost to scare us? Hmph, don't you know that Ling Sen has Taoism? ”

The young man's eyes lit up, and the silence finally broke. He said slowly, "Which of you is Ling Sen?" Could it really be a Dao Master with profound mana? No wonder, no wonder! ”

He said a few 'no wonders' in a row, and I immediately sensed that there was something in his words, and quickly stepped forward and said, "I am Ling Sen, who are you?" Isn't this house long abandoned? What do you want to do when you come here in the middle of the night? ”

The young man showed a wry smile and said, "You are Ling Sen, right?" That's a strange thing you said. This is my home, you are a visitor, why do you oppose the guest and ask me why I came here? ”

"Your home?" Shi Mengya and the others exclaimed in unison. The young man nodded, and my heart suddenly shook, and I quickly said, "You are Zhang Ziming, right?" The people in Xiling Village say that you have been missing for many years, why did you suddenly come back here? ”

The young man nodded, admitting that he was Zhang Ziming. The dead dog suddenly said nervously: "Ling Sen, don't fall for him. If he was really Zhang Ziming, how could he suddenly return home after so many years? Surely he is long dead, he is a ghost! ”

Zhang Ziming sighed slightly, and a wry smile appeared on his face again. I patted the dead dog's head and said, "Dead dog, what are you talking about?" You look at his shadow, what is he not human? ”

The dead dog stayed for a while before he smiled awkwardly and said no more. I thought for a while and said, "Zhang Ziming, when you go back to the village this time, does anyone in the village know that you are back?" ”

Zhang Ziming shook his head and said slowly: "I went home overnight this time, and the people in the mountain village went to bed early, so no one knew that I was back." ”

My heart tightened, and I said vigilantly: "Zhang Ziming, if you went home secretly, then why do you dare to come to see us when you see that there are lights in your house and a few of us strangers?" According to common sense, you should have treated us as thieves, quietly avoided it, and then called the people in the village to come. But why didn't you do that, and what was your purpose? ”

Zhang Ziming didn't answer my words, but asked rhetorically: "Ling Sen, I want to ask you a question, how do you know that my name is Zhang Ziming?" Are you really a Taoist priest who knows the art of divination? ”

Since he refuses to tell the truth, I naturally won't reveal the details to him. I calmly said: "Zhang Ziming, don't ask me how I know your name, can you tell me where you went many years ago?" Did your mother find it? ”

Zhang Ziming showed a strange look on his face, and he said in surprise: "Ling Sen, it seems that the old man in the village told you about me, right?" Alas, you have done my mother a great favor, why do you still ask me if I have found her? ”

This thing is so strange, his mother has been missing for so many years, and even the people in Xiling Village don't know her whereabouts, how can I, a strange outsider, help his mother a lot?

Could it be? I couldn't help but gasp: The female ghost I overtook just now was Zhang Ziming's mother? If this is the case, Zhang Ziming's mother did not run away with the foreign merchant, but died in this village.

His mother's ghost has a strong grudge, which means that she did not die of natural causes, but of murder. But her mother's ghost could not fully manifest, but was bound by a powerful Yin spirit force, what was going on?

I suddenly thought of Ling Shuangxi, who was already dead, and my mind turned a few times, and suddenly it suddenly brightened. No wonder Ling Shuangxi, as the patriarch, would take special care of Zhang Ziming's mother regardless of the clan rules, it seems that there is a great mystery in this.

When I opened my yin and yang eyes and saw the female ghost just now, the female ghost was still quite beautiful. If this female ghost is Zhang Ziming's mother, then she must have been a heart-warming young girl many years ago.

After she was exiled to Xiling Village, Ling Shuangxi may have been fascinated by her appearance and warmly took her in. Ling Shuangxi will not move around with Zhang Ziming's mother much on the surface, after all, he is the respected village chief here, but secretly he has long coveted Zhang Ziming's mother.

Zhang Ziming's mother may be because of gratitude, or maybe she is afraid of being driven out of Lingjia Village and her life will be lost, so under the secret seduction of Ling Shuangxi, she finally accepted her fate and secretly communicated with Ling Shuangxi and became an underground couple.

The people in the village were unaware of all this, until this foreign woman gave birth to Zhang Ziming, and the people in the village were angry, feeling a great shame, feeling that this immoral woman had defiled the entire Xiling Village.

Although Ling Shuangxi knew that the boy born by this woman was his evil seed, he did not dare to admit it publicly, but under the false pretext of mercy, he used the prestige of the patriarch to override public opinion and allow Zhang Ziming and his mother to remain in Xiling Village.
