"It's, it's me!" Madam Chen cried, "But this tablet wasn't written by me!
How could I curse my own child?
I — — "
"You won't write when you're awake, but not when you're asleep."
As Chu Wanning spoke, he raised his hand and picked up the tablet. He poured spiritual energy into his palm, and the tablet suddenly burst out with a mournful scream, followed by thick blood flowing out from the tablet.
Chu Wanning's eyes were cold, and he sternly said, "Evil creature, how dare you be so arrogant!"
The spiritual energy in his palm increased, and the words on the tablet were forced to recede bit by bit from the scream, becoming dim, and finally completely disappeared.
Chu Wan Ning's slender and cold fingers clenched once more, shattering the entire tablet into pieces!
The Chen Family members behind were all stunned.
Not to mention the Chen Family members, even Shi Mei was stunned.
He couldn't help but sigh, "So powerful."
Mo Ran couldn't help but sigh in his heart, so fierce.
Chu Wanning turned half of his handsome face, but there was no expression on his face, only a few drops of blood splashed on his cheeks.
He raised his hand, carefully examining the blood on his fingertips, and said to the Chen Family members, "You all stay in this courtyard today, don't go anywhere."
At this time, they didn't dare to disobey, so they quickly said, "Good!
Good!
We'll listen to Daoist Priest's orders! "
Chu Wanning walked out of the ancestral room in large strides, casually wiping the blood on his face, and pointed at Madam Chen, "Especially you, you can't fall asleep.
That thing will take over your body, so no matter how sleepy you are, you must be awake. "
"Yes … … yes, yes, yes!"
Madam Chen repeatedly agreed, and with tears in her eyes, she asked in disbelief, "Daoist Priest, my son … … is he … … is he alright?"
"He's fine for now."
Madam Chen was stunned, "For now?
Not all the time?
Then, then how can I save my son's life? "
Chu Wanning said, "Catch the monster."
Madam Chen was very anxious, so she couldn't help but be a little rude. She hurriedly asked, "When does Daoist Priest plan to catch it?"
"Immediately."
As Chu Wanning spoke, he glanced at the Chen Clan members and asked, "Do any of you know the exact location of the red coffin?
Someone, lead the way. "
The eldest son's daughter-in-law's surname was Yao. Although she was a woman, she was tall and looked quite heroic. Although there was fear on her face, she was calmer than the others.
She immediately said, "My late husband and I chose that place. I know where it is. Let me take you there."
The three of them followed Chen Yaoshi and headed north. Soon, they arrived at the piece of land that the Chen family had bought.
Martial law had been set up there, and there was no sign of human habitation around. The dark hills were overgrown with vegetation, and it was so quiet that not even the chirping of insects and birds could be heard.
When they reached the middle of the mountain, their field of vision widened. Chen Yaoshi said, "Three Taoists, this is the place."
The place where the red coffin was dug out was still covered with the tombstone. Mo Ran laughed when he saw it. "What's the use of this stupid stone?
One look and I can tell that this is something that only an amateur would do. Let's move. "
Chen Yaoshi was a little flustered. "The mister in town said that because of the tombstone, the evil spirits inside can't come out."
Mo Ran put on a fake smile. "Mister, you're quite capable."
"…" Chen Yaoshi said, "Move, move, move, move!"
Chu Wanning coldly said, "There's no need for that."
As he finished speaking, he raised his hand. His fingertips glowed with golden light. Heaven's Inquisition obeyed his summons and appeared in his palm. He then swung his willow vines and the tombstone shattered into pieces.
Chu Wanning expressionlessly walked over and stood on top of the pile of rubble. He raised his hand again and said, "What are you hiding for?
Get up! "
A strange creaking sound came from below. Suddenly, a twelve foot thick wooden coffin broke through the ground. In a moment, sand and dirt flew everywhere.
Shi Mei was shocked. "This coffin is filled with evil spirits!"
Chu Wanning said, "Back off."
As he finished speaking, he swung his hand and the Heaven's Inquisition struck the red coffin. Golden sparks flew everywhere. After a moment of silence, the lid of the coffin burst open. The billowing smoke dispersed and the thing inside was revealed.
Lying in the coffin was a naked man. His nose was straight and his face was handsome. If it wasn't for his pale skin, he would have looked like he was sleeping.
Mo Ran glanced at the man's lower abdomen and covered his eyes. "Aiya, you're not wearing underwear. Stinky hooligan."
Shi Mei was speechless.
Chu Wanning was speechless.
Chen Yaoshi exclaimed, "Husband!" She rushed over to the coffin.
Chu Wanning reached out and stopped her. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "This is your husband?"
"Yes!
He's my husband! "Chen Yaoshi was shocked and sad." Why is he here?
He was buried in the ancestral grave. At that time, he was wearing his burial clothes. Why is he … "
Halfway through her sentence, the woman burst into tears. She beat her chest and stamped her feet. "Why is it like this!
It's so tragic — so tragic!
Hubby … Hubby!! "
The junior sister sighed. "Little Mrs. Chen, my condolences."
Chu Wanning and Mo Ran ignored the crying woman. Chu Wanning wasn't good at comforting people, while Mo Ran didn't have any compassion. The two of them stared at the body in the coffin.
Mo Ran had already experienced this in his previous life and wasn't surprised. However, he still had to pretend. He rubbed his chin and said, "Shizun, there's something wrong with this body."
Chu Wanning said, "I know."
"…"
Mo Ran had a lot of things to say. They were all words that Chu Wanning had analyzed for them in his previous life. In this life, he wanted to use them to shock Chu Wanning. However, Chu Wanning just casually said, "I know."
As a master, shouldn't he be tempting his disciple and encouraging him to voice his thoughts and praise him and reward him for his actions??
Mo Ran wasn't satisfied. He pretended not to hear the "I don't know" and said, "There are no signs of decay on this body. Young Master Chen's accident happened more than half a month ago. According to the current climate, it should have festered and oozed pus. There should be a layer of liquid in the coffin. This is the first reason."
Chu Wanning looked at him coldly with a look that said, "You can continue acting." "…"
"The second reason."
Mo Ran was unmoved. He continued to recite Chu Wanning's explanation from his previous life. "Before the coffin was opened, the evil aura in this red coffin was very strong. However, after it was opened, it dissipated.
Moreover, the evil aura in this body is very weak. This is also very abnormal. "
Chu Wanning: "…"
"The third reason. Did you notice that from the moment the coffin was opened, there was a sweet fragrance in the wind?"
The fragrance was very faint. If one didn't pay attention, they wouldn't have noticed it at all.
After Mo Ran said this, Shi Mei and Chen Yaoshi finally noticed that there was indeed a faint sweetness in the air.
Shi Mei said, "Indeed."
Chen Yaoshi sniffed and her expression changed. "This fragrance …"
Shi Mei said, "Mrs. Chen, what's wrong?"
Chen Yaoshi was so scared that her voice changed. "This fragrance, it's my mother-in-law's Hundred Butterfly Fragrance Powder!"
For a moment, no one said anything. The prophecy tablet in the shrine, "Made by Master Yang Chen Yaoshi", seemed to appear in front of them again.
Shi Mei said, "… Could this really be Mrs. Chen's doing?"
Mo Ran said, "It doesn't look like it."
Chu Wanning said, "No."
The two spoke at almost the same time. After they finished speaking, they looked at each other.
Chu Wanning's expression didn't change at all. "Go ahead."
Mo Ran said bluntly, "From what I know, the Chen family became rich because of the Hundred Butterfly Fragrance Powder specially made by the Old Madame. Although the formula of this powder is not leaked, the finished product is not difficult to obtain.
Five or six of the ten girls in Rainbow Butterfly Town use this fragrance on their bodies.
Not only that, before we came here, we found that Young Master Chen seems to like the Hundred Butterfly Fragrance Powder very much. He often mixed it in his baths, so it's not strange that he has this fragrance on him. What's strange is … "
As he spoke, he turned his head again to look at the naked man in the coffin.
"He's already been dead for half a month, but this fragrance is still the same as if it was just applied.
Am I right, Shizun? "
Chu Wanning: "…"
"If you're right, then praise me."
Chu Wanning: "En."
Mo Ran laughed. "You really are a man of few words."
Before he could laugh, his robes suddenly fluttered as Chu Wanning pulled him back several feet. The golden light of Heaven's Inquisition in her hand sparkled brightly as sparks flew everywhere.
"Be careful."
The smell of the Hundred Butterfly Perfume in the air suddenly thickened. As the fragrance drifted, white fog appeared between the plants and started to spread at an astonishing speed. In an instant, the entire mountainside turned into a sea of fog. Suddenly, it was so dark that one couldn't even see their own fingers!
Mo Ran's heart skipped a beat.
The illusion had been activated.
"Ah!!" In the thick fog, the first thing that came was Chen Yaoshi's scream. "Daoist Priest, save —"
Before the last word left her mouth, she suddenly went silent.
Chu Wanning's fingertips lit up with a blue light. He placed a tracking talisman on Mo Ran's forehead and said, "Be careful. I'll go take a look."
After that, he quickly disappeared into the thick fog.
Mo Ran touched his forehead and laughed softly. "Wow, even the location of the talisman is exactly the same as in my previous life. Chu Wanning, you really haven't changed a single bit."
The fog dispersed as quickly as it came. Not long after, the fog disappeared without a trace. However, the scene in front of them was even more shocking than the fog.
At least in his previous life, Mo Ran had a great shock.
After the fog dispersed, the originally desolate, messy, and overgrown mountainside was gone.
In its place was a vast and elegant garden. There were pavilions, winding corridors, rockeries, and cobblestone paths. There was no end in sight.
When Mo Ran saw this place, he was so happy that he wanted to roll on the ground.
This tyrant had always been thinking about this illusion. In his previous life, they were also lost in it. Mo Ran first met Shi Mei. Under the influence of the illusion, he kissed Shi Mei for the first and only time in his life.
Unfortunately, at that time, Shi Mei was probably too scared. When Mo Ran let go of his hand, he turned around and ran away.
The swan that was in his mouth was taken away from him before he could even take a bite. This was not a good feeling.
After the illusion was broken, Shi Mei did not pursue the matter. The kiss in the illusion was like nothing had happened. No one mentioned it again.
Sometimes, in his dreams, Mo Ran would wonder if it was just a figment of his imagination due to his deep obsession.
But whether or not it was his imagination, Mo Ran licked his lips. This time, he would not let Shi Mei get away so easily!
