Chapter 115 People die and become ghosts
Xiyi Xiansheng Zhenjun? What is that?
Ning Zhe didn't quite understand why his grandmother had such a big reaction after hearing about Ji Taiyu's experience, so he had to reach out to support the old woman's shaky body, and put one hand on her back to feel her heart rate with his palm.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you?" Ning Zhe asked with concern.
Ji Taiyu's grandmother was thin, and her skeleton had shown signs of atrophy due to her advanced age. Her body was not very strong either. If such an old woman was stimulated to a certain extent, it was not impossible for her to be frightened to death on the spot.
Facts proved that Ning Zhe's worries were correct.
It was unclear what 'Xiyi Xiansheng Zhenjun' meant to the grandmother, but Ning Zhe could feel from her trembling shoulders that the old woman was extremely frightened. Her back was twitching and her throat was making a hoarse sound, which sounded like she was choking on her food.
So the hand that was caressing my grandmother's back could not feel her next heartbeat.
The old man's heart stopped beating.
"...Grandma?" Ning Zhe's expression became solemn. He held his grandmother's thin shoulders with one hand and placed his fingers on her neck vein with the other hand to confirm again and again. The body that had just died still had residual warmth, but there was no heartbeat or pulse in the chest cavity.
She is really dead.
"What's wrong with grandma?" Ji Taiyu's sister Yin Lishang asked cautiously and softly.
Ning Zhe turned his head and saw that Yin Lishang's two dull eyes on his face covered with red spots and acne were still looking at him timidly, with his dilated pupils unfocused, looking very curious. "Can't you see?" Ning Zhe asked.
Yin Lishang shook his head: "My eyesight is not good, I can't see things clearly, brother, what happened to grandma?"
"Dead." Ning Zhe said lightly: "Do you know what Xiyi Xiansheng Zhenjun is? She seems to have a big reaction to this."
"That's the name of the land master." Yin Lishang looked at Ning Zhe with some confusion in his dazed eyes: "Don't you remember? The land master's honorific title is [Taiwei Xiyi Xiansheng Zhenjun Weiwu Zhenliang Great Emperor]."
"What a shitty name... I really don't remember it." Ning Zhe closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened them again: "Let's send grandma home first."
"Okay." Yin Lishang nodded obediently and reached out to grab the corner of Ning Zhe's clothes.
Her eyesight was very poor, so she had to hold hands with others when walking together so as not to lose them. But Ning Zhe was now holding her grandmother's body with both hands, so she could only pull her clothes.
Ning Zhe bent down and picked up his grandmother's body, then turned and walked back the way he came. As he walked, he called out softly in a voice that no one could hear: "Nianjun."
Before he finished speaking, a red makeup appeared right in front of Ning Zhe's vision. He Nianjun raised her delicate hands, which were as soft and delicate as mutton-fat jade, and showed a lunar calendar in front of Ning Zhe:
【May 29th of the Lunar Calendar】
【Advisable: All things are inappropriate】
[Avoid: planting, offering sacrifices, trading, burial]
"Oh my god." Ning Zhe was secretly shocked. From the time he got the rules of the Snake God's summoning until now, this was the first time he encountered a situation where "everything was not suitable". Ning Zhe called He Nianjun out to see what was suitable to do today and find a way to make his luck better, but the unsuitable almanac cut off his delusion of improving his fortune through summoning. This time, when he opened the almanac, Ning Zhe got nothing except a few taboos that restricted his hands and feet.
"Huh?" Yin Lishang opened his eyes wide in confusion, loosened the hand that was tightly grasping the corner of Ning Zhe's clothes, and rubbed his eyes hard.
Just when Ning Zhe was feeling troubled by the unfavorable things on the almanac, suddenly a pale color as white as paper entered his field of vision. It was a bloodless old man's face that suddenly appeared at He Nianjun's feet.
Ning Zhe subconsciously took a step back and saw a disheveled head of an old man emerging from nowhere, with blood vessels and lymphatic tissue dragging along its neck. Below was a snow-white spine and 12 pairs of complete human ribs.
It was a long human skeleton snake with blood on its snow-white bones, and a wrinkled face full of resentment. It coiled around He Nianjun's legs and climbed up. Its sharp ribs bit her body wrapped in her wedding dress like the claws of a spider, making a crackling sound.
The human bone snake climbed onto He Nianjun's shoulder, its resentful eyes filled with hatred towards the intact people. It opened its dark mouth and bit He Nianjun's white neck with the few remaining teeth in its mouth.
Without any hesitation or delay, Ji Taiyu's tall and thin young body seamlessly switched into a mature and beautiful woman in a crimson dress. Ning Zhe raised one foot and stepped lightly on the ground.
To be precise, he stepped on the shadow of the human bone snake.
When Ning Zhe's shadow came into contact with the shadow of the human bone snake, the rule of 'special concession' was triggered, and the black mouth on the pale face was about to bite He Nianjun's neck the next moment, but at this moment, it had turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated.
As the special death rule was triggered, Ning Zhe heard a mournful, vicious, and resentful cry, as if it came faintly from the other side of the distant mountains. The human bone snake wrapped around He Nianjun struggled and convulsed, and its snow-white joints crackled, and finally disappeared.
At the same time, Feng Yusu's body changed back to Ji Taiyu's appearance.
It was a long description, but it all happened in a flash, so fast that Yin Lishang didn't notice that his brother had changed and then changed back. Ning Zhe held his grandmother's body in his hands, still feeling terrified.
"What was that just now?"
Ning Zhe saw clearly that the human-bone snake clinging to He Nianjun had no scars on its face, its eyes were not blinded by nails, its ears were not stuffed with clay, and its lips were not sewn shut with needle and thread. It was not a land god.
Where did that snake come from? Why had it not been discovered before?
In addition to the land god in the land temple outside the village, are there other human bone snakes in the village?
Why can this strange monster directly contact the ghost that only exists in its own field of vision - 'Zhaoyou'?
All kinds of doubts came to him along with a huge amount of information. Even Ning Zhe couldn't help but feel confused and bewildered for a moment, but what surprised him even more was yet to come.
Because after Te Rang killed the human bone snake, the body of his grandmother, who was in his arms, suddenly moved.
Boom, boom, boom, a strong heartbeat came from the old woman's chest. Grandma Ji Taiyu opened her eyes with great effort and murmured, "My dear grandson, you have offended Xiyi Xiansheng Zhenjun..."
Yes, yes, this village is the territory of [Taiwei Xiyi Xiansheng Zhenjun, the Mighty Zhenliang Emperor].
There is no 'death' here.
