Gravekeeper took a step back and pointed at the Evil Spirit in the net. "Liu Old Man, do you really have to kill your son to feel satisfied?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Kai quickly bowed his head and pleaded, "Father, you've cared for me my whole life. Please let me go, just this once."
"Hubby, why are you begging this old man? Just use some hot Black Dog Blood and kill him already," a voice chimed in. A woman dressed in The Woman in Red stepped forward, holding a black dog in her hand.
I turned to look at the entrance of Liu Kai's house.
A woman was approaching from that direction, carrying a black dog and wearing a bright red outfit with red high heels. She was stunningly beautiful, like the phoenix of the mountain Village.
As I saw this woman, my scalp tingled with shock. This woman was the bride I encountered on the way to Beisheng Village with Xia!
The one who sat in the Wedding Car, the Ghost Bride!
My legs trembled violently, and cold sweat broke out on my back; I felt my clothes instantly dampen!
Xia patted my Shoulder, pointing at the woman. "Hey, Song Fei, look at how beautiful this woman is that Liu Kai married! Her figure is truly amazing."
I took a step back and whispered, "Do you... do you see something familiar?"
Xia paused for a moment. "Familiar? I see... What the hell!"
Xia Yi suddenly shouted, his legs going weak as he plopped down onto the ground.
The bride turned her gaze towards us upon hearing the shout. She stared at me and suddenly broke into a grin, walking step by step toward me and Xia. "What’s wrong? You two seem to know me."
Hearing her voice, I realized this ghostly woman—no, she must be a corpse or an undead—was definitely not human! I knew she wouldn't remember me or Xia. I quickly waved my hands. "We don’t know you! We’re just passing by, just passing by!"
With that, I pulled Xia back as we retreated.
At that moment, Liu Old Man in the Earthly Universe Net struggled even more fiercely. He completely disregarded the danger of his soul scattering and violently collided against the net, trying to escape.
As I stepped back, my mind raced with thoughts. The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end, but strangely, I felt unusually clear-headed. Suddenly, it dawned on me that Liu Old Man was not here to seek revenge for his son; he was trying to protect him!
This woman must be the bride who died in the town. During the gas explosion, everyone in the wedding car convoy perished, and she was certainly among them.
For some unknown reason, she had become a corpse—something different from a ghost, akin to a zombie. That was why when Xia and I encountered the ghostly wedding procession last night, Xia could see her; she was not an ordinary ghost!
Liu Kai somehow brought her home as his bride. When Liu Old Man realized something was wrong, he tried to drive her away, but Liu Kai, blinded by obsession, ended up killing Liu Old Man instead.
Desperate to save his son, Liu Old Man chose not to reincarnate but transformed into a spirit, wanting to protect his child.
However, Liu Old Man was definitely no match for the bride corpse. Therefore, tonight—on the seventh night of her return—when Liu Old Man's power was at its peak, he attempted to burst into the house and confront this bride corpse.
In an instant, everything clicked into place. I pulled Xia back; I knew I was no match for this bride corpse! Moreover, I had never encountered such a situation before.
A corpse that resembled a living woman! More terrifying than Lian!
Cold sweat dripped from my forehead onto the ground when suddenly I remembered something!
The Bride Corpse smiled mischievously at me. Her fiery red lips pouted as she said, "Handsome guy, you're not from this village. Since you don't recognize me, why are you so afraid?"
I awkwardly laughed and replied, "Let's... let's just go our separate ways, okay?"
The Bride Corpse laughed again. She tossed her hair and flirtatiously said, "That won't do. You look very familiar; we must have met before." She didn’t seem like a ghost at all; she appeared just like a living woman without any flaws!
If Xia and I hadn’t encountered her on the road before, even I wouldn’t be able to tell if she was human or ghost!
Xia remained slumped on the ground.
I pulled Xia back.
Xia's pants were torn from my tugging. After being stunned for three seconds, he finally came to his senses and saw the Bride Corpse. He scrambled to his feet and shouted, "Old Taoist, hurry up and do something! This woman is a ghost! She's already dead!"
The Bride Corpse laughed heartily, and to our horror, blood began to seep from her eyes, droplets trickling down her cheeks, causing Xia to turn and run.
I knew this female ghost wouldn't let us off easily. I shouted, "Ghost woman, you are too arrogant! Those people in the village who had their Hearts dug out recently were all killed by you, weren't they?"
The corpse suddenly cackled with a chilling laugh that echoed like the wails of hell.
At that moment, the Old Taoist's hat tilted askew from fright. He quickly asked, "What on earth is going on? How did another ghost appear? Is this woman really a ghost?"
Liu Kai stood up in anger, shouting, "No, no! She is my wife! How could she be a ghost?"
As I continued to back away, I said, "Daoist Priest, I've seen this woman before. She died in the town a month ago due to a Gas Explosion. She was dressed like this then—she was a bride. As for now, she has taken on a human form; I believe it's because she consumes a Heart every three days. A living Heart could very well keep her human skin from decaying!"
I shared my speculation.
Upon hearing this, the Old Taoist shuddered and steadied himself against the table. "Eating Hearts keeps the corpse from decaying. This woman... when she died, absorbed too much Resentment, plus she was dressed in bright red. A month ago—oh dear—that was precisely the twenty-seventh day of the second lunar month: Qingming Festival, Mourning Festival, when the Gates of Hell open and Ghostly Energy surges. Who would choose to get married during Qingming Festival?! This ghost has already become powerful. I... I'm not her match; I'm leaving!" The Old Taoist turned to flee.
"Jie jie jie jie..." The female ghost suddenly laughed again. Her hair instantly grew to five meters long and swept toward the Old Taoist like a whip. Then her face began to crack open, revealing charred flesh beneath her skin—a sight that was utterly terrifying.
"You all must die! The culprit behind the Gas Explosion is Liu Kai! If he hadn't dragged that factory worker into an all-night gambling spree, how could there have been a second explosion? Your entire village will pay for this!" The corpse screamed as her hair coiled around the Old Taoist's neck, pulling him back.
Without any hesitation left in me, I retreated sharply until I found myself beside Liu Old Man's ghost. Then I yanked down the Earthly Universe Net.
I was taking a gamble—betting on Liu Old Man's paternal love! Just like that time in the lab when even a goat could become a ghost due to maternal love.
This time, I firmly believed that Liu Old Man would stand with us because of his fatherly love.
Sure enough, after I pulled down the Earthly Universe Net, Liu Old Man's ghost lunged toward the female corpse.
Without any hesitation, I pulled out the Peach Wood Sword, Sticky Rice Bundle, Black Dog Blood, Rooster Comb, Cinnabar, and other items from my backpack and rushed toward the female corpse.
I threw all my ghost-repelling equipment onto the female corpse with a loud thud.
"Shhh..."
The female ghost emitted a series of eerie sounds as she cried out in pain. Taking advantage of this moment, I swung my sword and severed the female ghost's hair, rescuing Old Taoist.
Old Taoist clutched his neck and was about to run again.
I grabbed Old Taoist and shouted, "Old Taoist, don’t run! Let’s work together and kill this female ghost!"
Old Taoist cried out in panic, "What are you talking about? She's already become a spirit; she's more terrifying than a Zombie! Zombies have no consciousness, but this Ghost Corpse is intelligent! Even a hundred of you wouldn’t be her match!"
I replied, "Stop talking nonsense. We still have a Vengeful Spirit helping us. If we don’t take down this Ghost Corpse now, neither of us will escape!"
Old Taoist was anxious. Holding the Peach Wood Sword, he said, "This is bad luck; I didn’t check the almanac before going out today. I’m going to die here! Where’s my Earthly Universe Net? I need to bind her first." With that, Old Taoist picked up the palm-sized Earthly Universe Net from the ground.
At that moment, Liu Old Man had already been beaten to pieces by the Ghost Bride; it felt like he was about to lose his soul.
Old Taoist bit his tongue again and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. He shouted loudly, "Four Symbols and Five Elements arise: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth! Earthly Universe Net, hurry as commanded! Swift!"
The net shot down toward the Ghost Bride with a whoosh.
With a splash, the Earthly Universe Net tightly bound the Ghost Bride.
Old Taoist's face turned pale from exhaustion as he shouted, "This net was bought at a stall in Maoshan; it’s a counterfeit and won’t hold for long. Do we have any Black Dog Blood left? It would be best to have Black Donkey Hoof too; this Ghost Corpse isn’t very afraid of the Peach Wood Sword."
I shook my head, "I didn't bring the Black Donkey Hoof. Let's pour the Black Dog Blood on her first."
The black dog on the ground had already collapsed. It had originally been brought out by the Ghost Bride to deal with Liu Old Man, but now it was grabbed by the Old Taoist, who pulled out a dagger and slashed at the dog's neck before pouring the blood over the Ghost Bride.
The Ghost Corpse was trapped in the Earthly Universe Net. She struggled a few times, and the net crackled with thunder, scorching her body.
The Old Taoist poured the Black Dog Blood over the Ghost Bride's head.
"Shhh..."
Black smoke began to rise from the Ghost Bride's body.
"Awwooo... I'll eat you all..." The Ghost Bride suddenly went into a frenzy. The warm Black Dog Blood splashed onto her, causing significant harm, but instead of killing her, it instantly enraged her. Her Resentment erupted with a loud bang, and the Red Coat on her body tore apart, revealing a charred Ghost Corpse underneath. The Ghost Corpse had long red nails; she waved her hand and directly tore through the Earthly Universe Net.
Seeing this, the Old Taoist turned and ran without any hesitation.
