Even I was taken aback by Grandma Jiang's words, looking up at the room and feeling a sense of relief in my heart.
Sure enough, not long after, Mao Guoxue and Mao Shiba ran back from outside.
Seeing them return, I quickly asked, "Second Uncle, has everything been taken care of?"
Mao Guoxue nodded and said, "This matter wasn't too difficult to handle; it's already done."
"Uh."
I was slightly stunned and curiously asked, "Then what was that scene just now all about?"
"Oh, you mean earlier," Mao Guoxue replied matter-of-factly. "Everything has its opposite; all things are interconnected. Eighteen and I used Spirit Water Morning Dew to break Yang Yi's corpse-raising technique."
"What does that mean?" I asked, confused.
At this moment, Liu Man also relaxed upon hearing that it was taken care of. She no longer looked so frightened and instead listened intently to Yang Yi as he explained.
Yang Yi calmly said, "Yang Yi used Jumping Zombie to spit out a mouthful of foul air into the ancestral Tomb of the village through a bamboo tube. This foul air entering the grave is akin to entering a body, causing your ancestors to be restless. Naturally, they would stir things up for you."
I completely agreed with this point and nodded but chose not to say much, waiting for him to continue.
After a pause, Yang Yi continued, "Therefore, to break Yang Yi's corpse-raising technique, we must dispel that foul air left in the grave. Only then can your ancestors find peace, and when your ancestors are at peace, the villagers of your village can also find peace."
"What exactly do you mean by Spirit Water Morning Dew? Is it just Talisman Water?" I asked curiously. If Spirit Water Morning Dew was that simple, Gu Chen could have told me earlier, and perhaps I could have handled it myself.
As if sensing my thoughts, Mao Guoxue shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate what I said about Spirit Water Morning Dew."
He continued calmly, "Talisman Water is based on the Azure Talisman as a guide. This talisman is called the Great True Talisman. Then, using the Yellow Talisman as the main component, mixed with Symbol Ash. You need to collect Dewdrops in the morning and mix them with pure water, then let it seep into the Tomb through the holes left on it for it to work."
After he finished speaking, he looked at me and asked, "Can you draw the blue talisman?"
I shook my head repeatedly. He then smiled and said, "Morning dew is easy to collect, but the Azure Talisman is difficult to draw. That's why Gu Chen's Old Guy told you to come directly to me. Without the Azure Talisman in your hands, knowing the method would be useless."
"I see," I replied, finally understanding.
However, thinking of Yang Yi, my tone suddenly became serious. "But Second Uncle, it seems we will trouble you with Yang Yi this time."
"Yes." Yang Yi was indeed a bit excessive. As soon as Yang Yi was mentioned, Mao Guoxue's expression also turned grim.
At that moment, Grandma Jiang interjected, "That girl from Unloading Gate has already gone to inform Jia Ling. By this time tomorrow, even if Yang Yi wants to run away, he won't be able to."
"What?" Mao Guoxue was slightly taken aback.
I quickly explained, "Mingyue is from Unloading Gate. As for what Grandma Jiang mentioned about Jia Ling, I'm not sure." I shook my head as I spoke.
"That's the unloading strongman Mingyue that Xiao Juan mentioned last time," Mao Guoxue said as he looked toward Grandma Jiang.
"That's her," Grandma Jiang nodded.
Upon hearing this, Mao Guoxue instantly felt relieved, though his expression remained somewhat complicated as he said, "In that case, let's all get a good night's sleep tonight. As for Yang Yi's fate, that's entirely his own doing."
With that, he directed my parents to arrange sleeping places for everyone.
When the next full moon arrived, I finally understood why Grandma Jiang and Mao Guoxue had acted as they did.
The moonlight was not accompanied by just her alone; she brought along a large crowd.
A sea of people followed her, both men and women.
According to Mao Guoxue and Grandma Jiang, if these people were in ancient times, they would be nothing less than the notorious heroes of Greenwood.
In other words, they were bandits.
