Chapter 740: Something Unclean
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Qing Mu and Bai Anya, who were in the coop, felt a little uneasy because something had left when the baby stopped crying.
It was not because Old Madam Luo’s prayer worked, but because the thing left the child.
The house where the cry of the child was heard happened to be the house where the thing entered just now.
Qing Mu said, “Sister Anya, peace is gone.”
Bai Anya flew up and looked outside. “Yes, I know.”
This night was not peaceful. It was filled with the cries of the children everywhere.
Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan were guarding the Lin family, so when something came, Hu Yu saw it. Hu Yu immediately said to Liu Yuanyuan, “Liu Yuanyuan, an evil spirit came in and went to Lin Jie’s room.”
Hu Yu walked towards Lin Jie’s room with her short legs. She scratched the door with her claws and barked, “Woof, woof, woof—”
Liu Yuanyuan slithered in through the gap in the stone and saw a black shadow standing at the side of Lin Jie and Lin Fan’s bed.
The black shadow reached out and grabbed the thin blanket on Lin Jie and Lin Fan. He even blew on it. The cold aura made Lin Jie and Lin Fan shiver and wake up.
Lin Fan rubbed his eyes and said in a trembling voice, “Brother, there’s someone in our room.”
Lin Jie hugged Lin Fan, his entire body trembling. “Don’t be afraid. You’re just too sleepy. There’s no one else here. Close your eyes.”
Lin Jie also saw the black figure, but he was older than Lin Fan and had to protect his younger brother.
The two brothers hugged each other and trembled. Hu Yu also squeezed in through the crack in the door. With Yin Yang Eyes, she immediately saw the evil spirit. She immediately barked at the evil spirit, “Woof, woof, woof—”
Hu Yu bared her fangs. If not for the fact that she was trapped in this puppy’s body, she would have slapped the black shadow away.
The commotion here woke up Mr. and Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin pushed open the door and immediately climbed onto the bed to hug Lin Jie and Lin Fan.
Mr. Lin took out a kitchen knife and waved it in the air. “I don’t care what you are. Get out, or I’ll kill you…”
When Mr. Lin saw Hu Yu shouting in a direction, he mustered his courage and slashed in that direction. He could not see anything. All the hair on his body stood on end. However, he was the head of the family and could not back down.
A cold wind blew on his body, and Mr. Lin kept cursing.
Mrs. Lin hugged the two children and comforted them.
When Lin Xue heard the commotion, she got up, took a sickle, and cursed with Mr. Lin.
“Leave quickly. Don’t scare my brothers.”
Mrs. Lin comforted Lin Jie and Lin Fan. “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
Hu Yu stopped when the evil spirit left.
Soon, the evil spirit went to another house and stayed there for a while, scaring the children into crying before leaving.
As for the children, they nestled in their parents’ arms and pointed in the direction of the evil spirit with trembling hands. “Father, Mother, he’s standing there…”
The adults could not see it and could only curse at the air.
For the entire night, the village was in chaos.
Liu Yuanyuan and Hu Yu told Liu Sanniang about the situation in the village through voice transmission. They did not know what the evil spirit was trying to do.
Liu Sanniang could not move. Chu Yan had already flown into the village. She said to Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan, “Don’t act rashly. Just wait and see.”
The sky gradually brightened. Today was a cloudy day, and there were signs of fog in the village.
No one went out to farm. The unrest last night had traumatized everyone. Everyone gathered together.
“Is our village haunted? Last night, the chickens and dogs cried for the entire night. Why don’t we invite a Daoist priest to perform a ritual?”
Although the adults could not see the thing, there were children in every house. Seeing the children crying in fear, they felt uneasy.
Looking at the uneasy expressions on everyone, the elder nodded. “Then go down the mountain and invite a Daoist. Our village is a good place. Usually, such a strange thing won’t happen.”
Although the village was small, nothing like this had happened in the past.
Since the elder had said so, no one objected.
When Mr. Lin returned home, Mrs. Lin looked at him worriedly. “How is it?”
Mr. Lin told Mrs. Lin what happened. Mrs. Lin sighed deeply.
Lin Fan hugged Hu Yu, his face still a little pale. “Puppy, why do you think there are ghosts in this world?”
Hu Yu could not answer Lin Fan.
The weather was gloomy all day, as if it was going to rain.
In the afternoon, the group of people who went down the mountain returned with a gray-haired man. The man was dressed in gray cotton clothes. He looked around the village and said, “The evil aura is invading. It’s difficult to deal with it.”
Hearing this, the villagers panicked. “Sect Master Zhou, you have to help us. No one in our village did anything bad. We shouldn’t have suffered such a disaster.”
“Sect Master Zhou, you’re the sect master of Kongtong Sect. You must have a way, right?”
The villagers looked at Zhou Hengjin with hope.
Zhou Hengjin’s expression was serious. “If you do as I say, there is still a way to save the situation. Otherwise, this place will eventually turn into a no man’s land.”
“Sect Master Zhou, we’ll do whatever you say.”
The villagers were just ordinary people and did not know anything about mystic techniques. When they encountered strange things, they could only place their hopes on the masters of the Mystic World.
They met Zhou Hengjin at the foot of the mountain. Zhou Hengjin could tell the worry in their heart at a glance, which was why they immediately invited Zhou Hengjin to the village.
Zhou Hengjin entered the village and looked around.
Zhou Yunyi hid in the corner to look at the familiar figure outside before returning to the cowshed with a complicated expression.
Zhou Hengsheng said anxiously. “Who’s outside?”
Zhou Yunyi frowned and said, “Second Uncle, my father is here. I…”
Zhou Yunyi could not continue. The uneasiness in her heart was getting stronger and stronger. Her intuition told her that she had to leave this place as soon as possible, but how could she leave?
Zhou Hengsheng was stunned for a moment before saying calmly, “Yunyi, if you want to leave, follow your father..”
