The patriarch’s house was not too far from the ancestral hall. Moreover, the house they lived in was relatively old, obviously the kind that had been passed down for countless generations.
“It’s actually not snowing near the patriarch’s house!”
The masters stood outside the patriarch’s house and looked surprised.
Then, their expressions turned solemn at the same time.
Xu Guanhai said, “It’s snowing heavily everywhere else, but not here. If it’s because of that witch who came before, then that witch is really capable.”
Wang Chong said, “Did that witch already predict what would happen in this town? Is that why she used a special method to protect the patriarch’s family and his youngest son ten years ago? Is the patriarch lying or the woman who talked to Master Tang lying?”
“The patriarch’s family is lying.” After saying that, Tang Li gestured to the four of them. “Use your Sky Eyes.”
As she spoke, she kept looking at the sky above the patriarch’s house.
When they heard her, they quickly opened their Sky Eyes and gasped.
It turned out that the patriarch’s house was covered in a thick layer of black smoke. In the black smoke were ghosts that were trapped and struggling.
Zhao Guangyi said angrily, “They’re using Soul Gathering Formation to rear malicious ghosts!”
Xuan Yi continued, “So the souls of the people who died in town are all here.”
Their expressions became even more solemn.
Xu Guanhai said to Tang Li, “Master Tang, we have to destroy this formation now. Otherwise, everyone in this town will die.”
“There’s no hurry,” Tang Li said. “Let’s go and take a look at that malicious ghost. Also, since the formation has been set up for more than a decade, there must be something more powerful than just a malicious ghost. Another possibility is that that witch controlled more than just one place.”
These words made the four masters’ expressions change drastically.
“If what Master Tang said is true, things won’t be so simple.”
“Yes,” Tang Li said. “There’s only one way we can find out if other places have the similar situation, and that is to lure the person who set up this formation here.”
The four of them immediately nodded in agreement.
Then, they each used a talisman and quietly went to the room where the patriarch’s son was.
When the five of them stood in the room, the four masters were shocked.
Not only were there many talismans used to gather ghosts, there was also an especially large coffin in the middle. Around the coffin was a formation that was so powerful that it made people’s hearts palpitate.
The coffin was not covered, so they could see what was inside.
A man who had already turned into a malicious ghost was lying on a skinny woman with closed eyes, constantly sucking her blood and the Yin Spirit emanating from her body.
“This woman actually has Yin body and is the best vessel to raise malicious ghosts!”
“We have to get rid of this malicious ghost quickly. Otherwise, it will cause endless trouble.”
“The scariest thing is the person who keeps this thing.”
As soon as they finished speaking, the malicious ghost, who was drinking the woman’s blood, suddenly looked up.
They subconsciously took out the talisman. Xu Guanhai frowned. “Has the malicious ghost already discovered us?”
“No way. We used Invisibility Talismans. Unless his power has reached a level higher than ours.”
With that, the malicious ghost suddenly leaped towards them.
The masters reacted quickly. As they dodged, they slapped the talisman in their hands at the malicious ghost.
The few of them and the ghost instantly started fighting.
While they were fighting, Tang Li walked to the coffin.
The coffin was surrounded by a Blood Fiend Formation. The woman lying in the coffin did not move at all even after the ghost left. She looked like a puppet.
Tang Li said, “Do you need my help?”
The woman still did not move, as if she did not hear Tang Li.
At this moment, the four masters were surrounding the ghost, but they weren’t able to subdue him.
Tang Li looked at the woman for a few seconds before taking out a talisman and throwing it at the coffin.
At this moment, the Blood Fiend Formation around the coffin emitted a dazzling red light.
In the red formation, the four masters grunted.
The next moment, the ghost returned to the coffin.
Just as he was about to pounce on the woman, her body suddenly disappeared. In the next second, she was standing beside Tang Li.
Even so, the woman still did not open her eyes.
When the male corpse realized that the woman was gone, he instantly became agitated and was about to jump out of the coffin again. At this moment, he was tied up and let out a roar of pain.
Suddenly, the woman opened her eyes. She looked at the ghost trapped in the coffin and her body started trembling.
Tang Li placed her palm on the woman’s back and said to the four masters, “Keep an eye on this malicious ghost. The person who reared it will come soon. When that person comes, send me a voice transmission immediately.”
With that, she and the woman disappeared from the room.
The four masters looked at the ghost and exclaimed at how powerful Master Tang was. At the same time, they quickly set up formations around the room.
Tang Li brought the woman back to their house.
The moment Tang Li and the woman appeared, the two men who were waiting for her in the living room stood up at the same time.
“Li.”
“Madam.”
Tang Li quickly told the two of them about the situation over there and continued, “This woman has a rare Yin body. She can gather all the Yin Spirit and is the best vessel to raise malicious ghosts. Butler Yang…”
When Tang Li brought the woman over, Butler Yang had been staring at her. When Tang Li called him, he suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Tang Li.
Tang Li asked, “Can you feel if she’s your sister?”
This woman was not dead, but as a vessel, she was nothing different from a living dead.
Butler Yang walked towards the woman.
The woman was very thin, so thin that it was impossible to tell her original appearance.
It was only a few steps away, but Butler Yang felt that his legs were heavy, and his heart was heavy, making him unable to breathe.
When he walked up to the woman, he felt an inexplicable sense of panic. He thought that this woman was his sister, but he didn’t want to admit it.
At that moment, Tang Li said to him, “You can tell her about her children to see if you can wake her up.”
Butler Yang nodded and raised his hand to touch the top of the woman’s head.
At the same time, he said, “Yingying, is that you? I’m your brother. I’m here to pick you up.”
The woman did not react at all.
Butler Yang looked at Tang Li anxiously.
Tang Li, “Continue. Tell her more about your and her childhood.”
Butler Yang looked at the woman again. “Sister, don’t you want a clay figure? I’ve made many for you. As long as you open your eyes, I’ll give you all these clay figures, okay?”
“Daddy bought roasted chicken again. You like drumsticks the most. I’ll give you mine.”
“Didn’t you say that Grandma Zhang’s oranges are the sweetest? I’ll steal a few for you. Don’t worry about me being bitten by that dog. I can run very fast.”
“Don’t go to the pond alone. If you fall down again and I’m not by your side, no one can save you.”
…
Butler Yang, who didn’t like to talk, kept talking.
He talked about what happened when he and his sister were young.
As Tang Li and Qi Yihan listened, they could imagine how loving the siblings were when they were young.
Butler Yang talked for half an hour, but the woman still did not respond.
This made Butler Yang even more anxious. He stopped and looked at Tang Li.
Tang Li looked at the woman with a complicated expression. “Her situation is very special. After she was taken away, she probably sealed her soul to protect herself. Someone needs to go into her soul and wake her up so that she can open her soul willingly.”
