Chapter 1466: Group of Rugged Turnip Heads

Ning Shu said, A locust tree that could suck human blood.

Tao Sheng nodded, then said to Ning Shu, Senior Sister, I want to go with you and Master next time.

You should talk to Master about this. You should hold out for a while longer, I think. Ill be heading out for training soon, so at that time, youll be accompanying Master on the jobs. Ning Shu knew that Tao Sheng also wanted to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts.

Tao Sheng picked up a book and flipped through it rapidly. It was clear that he was not reading it.

Not even two days later, the man who had a locust tree spirit in his courtyard came again. He found the old man, Tao Cheng, and said that he had dug out something from the bottom of the courtyard wall. It was a decayed coffin.

The old man was immediately full of energy. He put on his Daoist robe, grabbed his peach wood sword and compa.s.s, then called Ning Shu over to prepare for the job.

Tao Sheng said to the old man, Master, bring us too. We also want to take a look.

Ning Shu also backed him up. Lets bring them along. Ill look after them. Besides, Tao Sheng isnt a child anymore. He could help.

The old man swept a glance over the group of rugged turnip heads and said to Ning Shu, You have to take good care of them. Dont let them disturb anything.

The group cheered before following the old man in a line. The old man immediately felt that these children were destroying his immortal-like demeanor and professionalism.

At the mans house, the locust tree had been dug out, and the soil of the entire yard had been turned over. Under the courtyard wall, there was a decayed coffin, with only a corner of it exposed. It was clear that the man didnt dare to dig anymore after discovering this thing.

The old man had them prepare a table. On the table was an incense burner, the peach wood sword, the compa.s.s, glutinous rice, chicken blood, and talisman paper. Ning Shu looked at the things on the table and memorized them in silence.

It was the first time for these dozen or so children to see such a scene. Obviously, they were nervous and afraid. Despite knowing that they would do this in the future, they were still afraid of ghosts.

The old man called over all the families living next to the owners house and said, Although the coffin was found here, it was also close to your home. You guys also have to help in asking this ancestor to leave.

The families around agreed that they would raise money together to find a place with good feng shui for this ancestor.

Ning Shu observed everything from the side. She got the feeling that the old man was worried the owner didnt have enough money. Hence, he deliberately pulled several families together to pool the funds.

Then the old man, with a celestial air, started to perform the ceremony.

Ning Shu kept her focus on the old man. She noticed that after the ceremony, his face was extremely pale.

Ning Shu quickly brought him a gla.s.s of water. The old man drank a mouthful and then said, Dig out the ancestor. Pay attention not to damage the coffin. Just brush off the surrounding soil.

The old man selected a few muscular men to dig the earth. However, the excavation process was very slow. The main reason was that the coffin was so rotten that it could be broken if handled a bit forcefully. It was probable that the bones in the coffin were the same.

Finally, the coffin was dug out, but then another coffin was discovered.

When the old man saw another coffin, his expression turned a little gloomy. Still, he said, Continue digging.

However, they kept finding more and more coffins. As of now, there were already five and there were skeletons crushed beneath the coffins. The deeper they dug, the more bones there were.

There were also crossbows, knives, rusty weapons, and helmets.

Now, even the courtyard wall had been toppled, but they only found even more bones. The old man pinched his trembling fingers to divine things, then quickly stopped the digging.

Dont dig anymore. It may be a ma.s.s grave. The old man hastily started performing another ceremony. His facial color was extremely ugly now.

Ning Shu also frowned. A ma.s.s grave was formed when a lot of people were buried together. This distorted the magnetic field of the place and created a particularly terrifying phenomenon.
