45: Chapter 45

Chapter 45

"They're gone. They said they' re going to find someone else." Her mother-in-law told us," It looks like it'll take a few more hours to get back here."

"Are you still looking for someone else?" I was surprised." Those people weren't enough just now?"

"Who knows what he's up to." The mother-in-law sat down and drank some water as she said," Not to mention, the people he's looking for are n' t cheap."

"Are they all tomb raiders?" He Sheng asked," Grandma, you're really knowledgeable. You even know the best people in the tomb raiding industry."

"It's not like we exorcists and tomb raiders do n' t have any dealings. It's normal to know a few of them." The mother-in-law said," But not all of them are tomb raiders. There are also some of my colleagues."

"Your colleague?" I asked," The exorcist?"

Village Chief was too thoughtful. The exorcist and the dirtman had been invited, and more than one had been invited.

"Exactly." The mother-in-law replied," And to my surprise, I've seen almost all of the exorcists. Even if I' ve never seen them, I've heard of them."

She took another sip of water and emphasized," Those exorcists have been exorcising ghosts with Old Shi ghosts."

Sure enough, they were still in contact with Old Shi ghost.

Since these people knew my adoptive father, it wouldn't be strange for them to know me.

However, judging from what they had mentioned earlier, there must be some ulterior motive.

"Grandma, you've been talking for so long, have you heard anything about them?" He Sheng still grasped the key.

"They were very careful, so they didn't reveal anything." The mother-in-law said," All I know is that they're waiting for everyone to gather. They' re leaving early tomorrow morning and heading straight for the Buddha."

Before I could ask any further, Grandma told us," By the way, they said that they could only gather some people today. I guess the rest will meet up as they walk along the way."

"Then are we going to chase after them?" I asked.

It sounded like Village Chief team had a lot of people, and they were mixed up.

If we were to rush over and be discovered, it would be hard to escape.

"Of course we have to chase after him." The mother-in-law said," It's just that we ca n' t get too close to them. It's best if we do n' t be discovered as usual."

"I'll take you along the path." He Sheng suggested in the urn," I'm very familiar with this area. Follow the route I' ve told you. They won't find you."

At night, I couldn't sleep.

I was thinking about what happened during the day. He Scar and those people who had exorcised ghosts with Old Shi Ghost. Why did they all gather here?

Could it be that the person at the center of this whole matter was really Old Shi ghost?

However, he was already dead. What could he do to gather so many old friends to work for Village Chief after he died?

What did Village Chief have to do with Old Shi ghost?

I couldn't figure out why, so I just closed my eyes.

But what I didn't expect was that as soon as I closed my eyes, a bloody face appeared in front of me.

It was Old Shi ghost's face. For some reason, his face was covered in blood. His eyes were sunken, and maggots were about to slide out of his eyes.

At this moment, I realized in horror that my body could not move.

Old Shi Ghost's face suddenly gave me a sinister smile.

I saw him open his mouth and his teeth were dyed red by blood from some unknown source. A few more drops were about to fall towards me.

I struggled desperately to escape, but I couldn't escape...

"Shi Yin, wake up!" A voice shouted anxiously beside my ears.

I suddenly opened my eyes.

He Sheng looked at me with great worry beside me and Grandma was by my side.

"I... "Dream on again?" I was a little dazed.

"When we heard that you had been shouting for help but couldn't move, we knew you had another nightmare."

The mother-in-law pointed at the bell in her hand." If you don't wake up, I' ll ring the bell."

I let out a sigh of relief. It was just a dream.

"Grandma, I dreamt of Old Shi ghost again." I was scared to say the scene in my dream.

"This old man isn't dead." Mother-in-law cursed out of habit and comforted me," It's fine. With Mother-in-law guarding you, let alone a dream, I wo n' t let him hurt you even if he really comes."

Under the comfort of my mother-in-law, I finally fell asleep again.

Nothing happened overnight.

Early the next morning, we waited for the Village Chief team to walk a certain distance before leaving the room and taking a shortcut.

He Sheng told us that they could probably catch up to the Village Chief team by walking along this path until noon.

At that time, we would look at the situation and decide what to do next.

But for some reason, I felt that the scenery around this road had not changed.

Seeing that it was about to arrive at noon, the sun was getting bigger and bigger, but we still couldn't see the in the road.

To be precise, we even felt that we were lost.

"He Sheng, is the route you gave really okay?"

My mother-in-law and I began to question whether his original route had been wrong.

He Sheng couldn't come out to see the way. He gloomily said in the urn," It's not wrong. I've always wanted to ask, why have n' t you guys gone out yet?"

"Even if we're a little slower, we should have reached the final fork." I was puzzled." But He Sheng, we haven't even seen the shadow of that fork."

"How could this be?" He Sheng was also surprised.

"Could it be that you've met a ghost and hit a wall?" Her mother-in-law made it clear.

"Try walking a few more times." He Sheng said," According to reason, there shouldn't be any ghosts that cultivate too deeply around here. If you walk a few more times, you might leave."

There was no other way. We could only walk a few more times to try.

Reality often did not match expectations.

My mother-in-law and I tried several times, but apart from being absolutely certain that this was really a ghost wall, there wasn't a single sign of us going out.

Every time, we would somehow return to where we were.

"How strange." He Sheng also felt puzzled." I remember there were no ghosts on this road." 0

"Whether it's there or not, let's rest for a while." The mother-in-law's heart ached that I was a pregnant woman and could n' t be overworked, so she suggested resting for a while.

"No, it's definitely not." He Sheng said with certainty," Since I'm no longer an outsider with you, there's no need for me to hide it anymore. To be honest, I knew everything on the map because before I was Seal... "Before I died, I studied it one by one."

"Why are you studying this?" I asked in surprise," You also want to come to the Tomb of the Buddha?"
