Wrapped in a shroud, her body lay with a gaping wound in her abdomen, intestines spilling onto the ground.
Her face was twisted and grotesque, resembling that of a Black Cat.
The villagers were so frightened that they dared not even breathe.
The Village Chief instructed the Eight Immortals to set up a mourning hall for Aunt Ma.
Everyone burned paper money, lit candles, and offered incense to pay their respects.
They hoped she could depart in peace.
However, the Village Chief was secretly discussing something with the Eight Immortals and the Corpse Craftsman in a corner.
From their conversation, it was clear that Aunt Ma's body required special handling.
Otherwise, she would bring calamity upon them all.
To prevent her from causing harm, they wrapped Aunt Ma's body in multiple layers of shrouds,
and used peach wood nails to secure her hands and feet.
Finally, the Corpse Craftsman took out four Yin Yang Flags and planted them around her.
As noon approached, the sun shone directly upon her.
Suddenly, she began to twist and struggle!
The Yin Yang Flag in the Corpse Craftsman's hand snapped in response!
One person collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Seeing this scene, everyone was terrified!
"Oh my! She's come back to life!"
"She's come back to life!"
"Run away!"
The villagers scattered in fear, but were stopped by the Village Chief's shout: "What are you panicking for?"
"Come back!"
"Kneel down!"
The villagers trembled as they returned and knelt on the ground, repeatedly bowing their heads.
"Aunt Ma, may you rest in peace!"
"Please don't harm us!"
"We'll burn paper money for you!"
"Please spare us!"
After saying this, they burned a large pile of paper money.
After such a commotion, Aunt Ma finally quieted down.
The villagers let out a sigh of relief.
The Village Chief instructed someone to carry Aunt Ma's body back home.
Suddenly, someone collapsed on the way.
The person was a neighbor of Aunt Ma.
He was rushed to the hospital.
By evening, the shaman arrived under the Old Huai Tree and began to perform a ritual.
“Aunt Ma, oh Aunt Ma, do you not spare the living even after death?”
“You are so malicious; you will face retribution!”
With that, she pulled out a wooden sword from her robe and lunged at the corpse!
“Stop!”
“Shaman, no!”
“Don’t harm her!”
The Li Family quickly dragged her away, but she continued to curse and refused to relent.
“You Li Family are truly wicked!”
“Even in death, you do not spare the living!”
“You will face retribution!”
Before she could finish her words, a dark shadow suddenly sprang out from Aunt Ma's corpse!
It pounced on her!
When she got up, her face was a bloody mess.
Her features had been gouged out, leaving only a gaping hole.
Her innards spilled out onto the ground.
I screamed in terror at the sight!
The others were equally horrified!
“It's a ghost!”
“There’s a ghost!”
That shadow leaped onto the Old Huai Tree, disappearing into the dense foliage.
Then, a strange blue light suddenly illuminated the tree.
The Ma Family members who were guarding the vigil collapsed in fear.
The entire village was thrown into chaos.
When dawn broke, the villagers gathered beneath the Old Huai Tree.
Confronted with Aunt Ma's corpse and the tragic state of the shaman, everyone was filled with dread.
The Village Chief sighed, “What’s done is done; let’s not panic.”
“There are still four days until the fifteenth of July; we will perform the rituals as per tradition.”
“As for the shaman, her body will be entrusted to the Eight Immortals and the Corpse Craftsman.”
He then turned to the Eight Immortals and the Corpse Craftsman.
"You two handle this. Don't let her become a vengeful spirit."
"If she does, our entire village will be doomed!"
But the Li Family was not having it.
"Village Chief, after all, the shaman is also part of my Li Family."
"How can you just leave her lying here all alone? What kind of talk is that?"
"Can't you at least set up a spirit hall for her?"
The Village Chief shot him a glare. "Are you done yet?"
"Look at the situation we're in!"
"Is this really the time to be setting up a spirit hall?"
"The shaman is already dead, and you still want to invite disaster upon us?"
"If you want to die, go ahead and do it yourself, but don't drag us down with you!"
With that, he glared furiously at the Li Family.
