Chapter 120 No Survivors
Ding Ding followed a few girls up the stairs and soon reached the second floor. She walked forward with her head down, but was pulled by the manager and pointed to one side.

Only then did she see that there was a band under the curtain and an empty seat next to it.

Ding Ding had just sat down when she almost stepped on the ground. She looked down and saw a headless corpse behind the seat. It seemed that the last musician who played the pipa had his head chopped off.

Her heart was pounding. At this moment, a cold wind blew, and the curtain was blown open. Behind the curtain, there were several corpses lying in a mess.

A girl next to him whispered, "Hurry up and tune the strings. The last pipa girl had her head chopped off because of her poor tone. She's watching us from over there!"

Ding Ding looked in the direction of her finger, and saw shadows of people in the audience. It was dark and she could only see a group of people who were enjoying the show. She couldn't tell who was who.

She suppressed her panic, adjusted the strings, and tuned the tone.

She does this kind of thing often.

The pipa was not hers but Madam Hua Li's. It had a name, Ji Yu, which came from "the sound of the big strings is like heavy rain."

Madam Hua Li was famous for her pipa. She was just a maid serving Madam Hua Li, often helping her adjust the strings, check the tone, and learned some fingering techniques from her.

She had just adjusted the music when she heard whispers coming from below. It turned out that many people were talking to each other, discussing what show to watch.

After a while, many voices shouted from the audience: "Silang visits his mother! Sing the play Generals of the Yang Family, Silang visits his mother!"

"Order!"

A voice of opera melody sounded, and various vocal music suddenly played. Ding Ding's palms were covered with cold sweat, because she had never learned the play "Silang Visits His Mother".

Fortunately, there was a female pipa player in the team. She stared at the other woman's fingers, and when the other woman started playing, she immediately followed suit and played the Ji Yu pipa, following the music of the band, intending to fill in the gaps.

Unexpectedly, when her fingertips fell, there were two clanging sounds, the sound was clear and murderous, as if weapons and cavalry were coming towards her, the sound was the best among all the other sounds, suppressing the sounds of all other instruments!
The other instruments couldn't keep up and suddenly became muted.

The musicians were stunned, their faces pale. The female role that had just come on stage also stood there, at a loss, thinking to herself: "My life is over!"

Ding Ding's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately understood the reason: "Ji Yu is Madam's treasure, how can it be compared to ordinary instruments? Its timbre is too good, it overwhelms other vocals and ruins the show!"

At this time, many people in the audience looked over and shouted, "The show is not good, everyone stop! You, the little girl, keep playing!"

Everyone felt relieved and quickly walked off the stage.

Ding Ding was the only one left on the stage, and she suddenly became flustered. She saw many pairs of eyes in the audience fixed on her, quietly waiting for her to play.

Ding Ding gritted her teeth and continued playing with her hands moving.

She had not learned many pieces of music, only a few, so she started with "Song of the Frontier".

The human-headed jujubes all shook their heads as they listened, and praised: "Sad, sorrowful, homesick, good song, good song!"

Someone with a big head said, "It's just that this girl is a little absent-minded, thinking about other things."

"If you keep thinking about this, I'll tear her head off!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Ding quickly put aside all distracting thoughts and continued playing.

Chen Shi quickly drew a dozen talismans, and the actors upstairs rushed down, not caring to remove their makeup or their belongings, and rushed out, saying, "Sanhe Village, never come again!"

When Chen Shi saw the hats on the heads of these actors, he was slightly startled. The hats on their heads were not opera hats, but black hats exactly the same as those of the villagers.

The actors quickly ran away.

Chen Shi walked quickly to the door, opened the black curtain a little, and looked out.

The scholar in blue clothes asked anxiously, "Master Chen Fu, what are you waiting for? Why don't you kill the evil spirit quickly?"

Chen Shi looked around and said, "I'm looking for my godmother's divine appearance."

The scholar in blue was slightly startled: "What is a divine appearance?"

"The divine image is condensed from extraordinary power, carrying the godmother's magic power and spirituality."

Chen Shi continued to search for the divine image's hiding place and said casually, "The godmother of Sanhe Village has become a demon. She is extremely powerful. If I can find her divine image, it will be very easy for me to get rid of her."

His eyes are extremely special. They can see ghosts and gods, as well as the world that ordinary people cannot see.

He searched everywhere but couldn't find the jujube tree. He could only see black air rolling around the tree. The evil nature was getting stronger and stronger, and he felt confused.

His small temple can only accept spirits and gods without physical bodies. Physical bodies cannot be stored in the small temple, so finding the divine image of this tree ghost is the easiest way to get rid of this ghost.

Chen Shi observed for a moment and found that Ding Ding was the only one left on the stage. The song "Song of the Frontier" was also coming to an end. The girl did not dare to stop and immediately played "Ambush from All Sides".

But this piece of music was much more difficult, and she played it a little awkwardly.

There were boos and catcalls from the audience.

Someone with a big head shouted, "You're not playing well! Get down! Get down!"

Ding Ding became more flustered and made more mistakes, resulting in even more booing from the audience. She was afraid that it would not be long before the little maid's head was chopped off by the jujube tree, and her head would become one of the jujubes among the people watching the show!

"I can't wait any longer!"

Chen Shi put away the dried talismans and was about to go upstairs to rescue Ding Ding. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind again: "The aura of incense has dropped sharply, causing the godmother of Sanhe Village to be unable to suppress the evil nature of the moonlight, and it has become a ghost. However, the aura of incense in Sanhe Village is so strong, why can't the godmother suppress the evil nature?"

He was about to go on stage, but when he thought of this he stopped and hesitated.

This village is filled with incense sticks. Under the threat of death, the villagers must be extremely pious, and the aroma of the incense sticks is even stronger!

The scholar in blue urged, "Master Chen Fu, go and kill that evil spirit! The girl on the stage can't hold on any longer!"

There was a groan from the audience, and many people shouted like a jujube, "Get off! Get off!"

"Take her head off and let her watch the show with us!"

At this time, there was another creaking sound coming from under the wooden cart. Chen Shi's heart was slightly moved, and he shouted, "Black pot, under the cart!"

The black pot quickly flew under the car, and the things under the car had no time to escape and were bitten by the dog!
Chen Shi walked quickly to the front and saw Hei Guo walking out from under the car with a head in his mouth.

The head belonged to an old man with many wrinkles on his face and an odd black tall hat on his head.

Under the old man's neck, there were two things like hands, with ten legs and feet like fingers, which were still dancing, grabbing the eyes and nose of the black pot. This thing must be crawling very fast!
The squeaking sound they heard when they entered the village just now should be this thing drilling under the wooden cart and gnawing at the axle!
"An evil spirit!"

Chen Shi was surprised. He grabbed this unusual evil spirit and looked at it carefully.

When the old man's head was caught by him, he opened his mouth and bit his palm. Chen Shi's energy and blood poured into his palm, shattering the old man's teeth.

"Grandpa never told me about this evil spirit. Could it be a new kind of evil spirit? No, no! This kind of head... a head picked from a jujube tree..."

A thought flashed through Chen Shi’s mind: Is the jujube tree really killing people?

Is this godmother killing people or punishing evil?
"Master Chen Fu, the little girl on the stage is fighting with her godmother!"

The scholar in blue came to the stairs, looked out, and asked anxiously, "Why don't you go up?"

On the stage, Ding Ding held a pipa in her arms and performed strange steps. The sound of the pipa was sharp and rapid, full of murderous intent. The jujube stems that were winding towards her in the air were broken one after another!
The Jiyu Pipa is extremely powerful. When the Pipa sounds, invisible sword energy shoots out. Even if there are many invading branches, they can be cut off together!
Heads on the jujube tree flew up one after another, black air filled the air and sprayed towards the stage. Ding Ding's evil energy entered his head and he almost fell down. He hurriedly steadied his body. Behind his head, a divine light shone brightly and a divine fetus appeared in the shrine. The divine fetus opened its mouth and spit out a golden pill, which radiated light and forced back the black air.

The black gas seemed to have consciousness and rushed forward madly, but was forced back again and again by the light of the golden elixir.

Gradually, the golden elixir's light was greatly diminished and became dim. It was the contamination of evil spirits that made the golden elixir less powerful than before.

Ding Ding also became confused and had a tendency to become evil.

"The little girl is going to turn into a demon!" the blue-clothed scholar said anxiously.

Chen Shi did not go to rescue Ding Ding. He pushed open the door of the theater, carried the head and walked out, saying, "I finally figured it out. There are so many people in this village, why did my godmother still become a ghost?"

The talismans in his hands flew up and flew in all directions.

On the stage, Ding Ding played House of Flying Daggers with a stumbling sound, but the sound of the pipa was muffled and the murderous aura was gone.

"Because the people in this village are no longer human."

Chen Shi took off the hat on the old man's head and opened it, but he saw that the head inside the hat was empty. The skull was opened and there lived a small insect with many arthropods. It had eaten up the old man's brain and sat there, looking up at him.

He looked at it carefully and found that this worm looked very much like a threadworm, and the texture under its belly was similar to the structure of a talisman.

The scholar in blue clothes walked out of the theater and asked in surprise, "Why is there a bug living in this man's head?"

Chen Shi looked at the other villagers in the village and said, "It's not just this old man who has bugs in his head. I'm afraid there are bugs in other people's heads as well. I'm afraid the people in Sanhe Village are all polluted. The incense here is so prosperous, but the godmother in Sanhe Village couldn't resist the evil in the moonlight and turned into a ghost because she couldn't absorb the incense. Because the people in the village are no longer her children, but evil spirits. How can she absorb the incense of the evil spirits?"

The scholar in blue came to his side, looked at the old man's head in Chen Shi's hand in confusion, and said, "Are you saying that this is why my godmother became an evil spirit? Those people in our village who wear hats have actually become evil spirits and are parasitized by this kind of insect?"

Chen Shi nodded: "My godmother has become a demon, but she still retains some of her former consciousness. She wants to protect the village, so she kills the villagers who are parasitized. In fact, it is not considered killing, because those villagers have already died."

He stood there silently. In fact, there was no living person in the entire village.

The only one who survived was the crazy Zaoshu Godmother.

Even though Zaoshu Ganniang had magical powers, she was still unable to discover this new type of evil spirit and thus failed to protect her people.

In the air, talismans for exorcising evil spirits and the Five Mountains House-guarding talismans came from all directions of Sanhe Village, shining with golden light and burning in the air.

When the talisman paper is burned out, only the golden talisman pattern remains in the air, as if it was printed in the air!
In Sanhe Village, countless villagers shouted sharply, rushed out of their houses, and rushed towards Chen Shi, shouting.

The ones rushing in the front were the troupe that had just stepped onto the stage.

They were shouting, and the black hats on their heads were askew, obviously also contaminated by evil spirits!
"Snapped!"

The hat on one man's head exploded and his body fell down.

"Clap clap clap!"

People kept falling down, and in a moment the streets of Sanhe Village were filled with corpses.

At the same time, the true shapes of the Five Mountains flashed with light and pressed down on the jujube tree. The rumbling sound was deafening, and in the blink of an eye, the evil jujube tree was crushed and the black air was completely refined!
On the stage, Ding Ding was already exhausted and was waiting for death with her eyes closed. After a brief burst of light, she opened her eyes and saw corpses everywhere, and the haunted jujube tree had been razed to the ground!
Is this the power of the talisman master?

Ding Ding's legs were shaking a little, and she jumped off the stage and almost fell.

Chen Shi raised his hand and a wind talisman slipped out from his sleeve, floating into the air. A gentle breeze blew, and the green smoke that filled the sky above Sanhe Village gradually dissipated. The wind blew the red silk ribbon on the young man's bun.

The sun shines down from the sky, dispelling the evil aura in the village.

The scholar in blue said sadly, "I didn't expect that they were all dead. I am the only one who survived in the whole village..."

Chen Shi turned around and looked at him.

The scholar in blue clothes said quickly: "I don't have a hat on my head! I'm not parasitic! I'm still alive!"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "You are of course a living person. You were the one who released the silkworms in Qianyang Mountain, right?"

The scholar in blue was slightly startled and asked in confusion: "What is the silkworm?"

Chen Shi clapped his hands, and Hei Guo came over with a pen and paper in his mouth. Chen Shi drew the structure of the talisman on the worm and said, "Does it look familiar to you?"

The scholar in blue looked at the talisman structure on the paper and shook his head.

Chen Shi drew the talisman structure of the bug that had just drilled into the person's head on the paper, and said with a deep look in his eyes: "What about this structure? Does it look familiar?"

The scholar in blue shook his head again: "Master Chen Fu, I am just a poor scholar who didn't even pass the examination for the title of scholar. How can I draw talismans?"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "I was too suspicious and misunderstood you. Since it's not your talisman, then it's mine. With this talisman, I can do evil and dominate the world."

He turned around, turned his back to the scholar in blue, and walked towards Ding Ding.

Behind him, the scholar in green laughed out loud, lowered his head and shook his head, saying with a smile: "Chen Shi, you took my rune, do you still want to leave?"

Chen Shi stopped.

The scholar in blue said with a smile: "You are indeed a talented student taught by the butcher of Xijing. It's a pity that the butcher of Xijing is dead and can't protect you anymore."

Chen Shi turned around and said with a half-smile: "You know what? My biggest wish in this life is to protect my old and frail grandfather."
