Chapter 769 The Events of That Year

I didn't say anything, I dragged the matchmaker forward, and Ye Yang stood silently behind her.

The two of us, one in front and one behind, sandwiched the matchmaker in the middle to prevent anyone from silencing her.

As I dragged the person forward, I took a special look at the female ghost in the wedding dress. After the matchmaker came out, she stood still. Even after we walked a hundred meters away, the ghostly figure in the wedding dress was still standing there motionless.

At this moment, the matchmaker's voice also came over: "Immortal, can you really save me?"

I knew that this kind of ghost was not much different from a street rascal. Either you had to give her some benefits, or you had to subdue her directly.

I said expressionlessly through voice transmission: "If you think that even Hei Bai Wuchang (Black and White Impermanence, two deities in charge of escorting spirits of the dead to the underworld) can't protect you, you can leave now!"

The matchmaker's voice trembled obviously: "Can you invite Hei Bai Wuchang?"

I sneered: "Didn't the person who asked you for help tell you that I am a disciple of Hei Bai Wuchang? If you don't think it's enough, I can also invite a Judge."

"Enough, enough..." The matchmaker said enough, but I couldn't hear any sense of trust in her words. She probably thought I was bragging.

I said in a deep voice: "What's going on with the wedding procession at your temple?"

"That's just a temporary gathering." The matchmaker said, "Who knows where they came from? A man named Wang Peng specifically put people here and told me to release the wedding procession after you guys triggered the evil."

"How would I know that the damned guy was trying to harm me!"

"Shut up!" I turned around and slapped her on the head, staggering her on the spot: "Answer what I ask you, and keep the other words to yourself."

I said coldly: "How long have you been a land god in Zao Mu Village? Do you know about the bodies being sent away from Jiu Fen Gou (Nine Graves Gully) back then?"

The matchmaker said: "I haven't been here for a long time, only a little over a hundred years. When I came, the people of Zao Mu Village were all dead. How would I have seen any corpses?"

"But I heard that someone sent a coffin to Zao Mu Village back then, and that's why the villagers died out!"

I immediately became interested: "Who sent the coffin? And where is that coffin now?"

The matchmaker said: "How would I know who sent the coffin! The land god back then was killed by that person, and I only heard about it from a few wandering souls."

"If that land god hadn't died, no one would have dared to come to this place. How could it be my turn to be the land god here?"

I was slightly stunned. The other party dared to kill the land god, which meant that he didn't take the City God seriously.

The City God is the ghost and god who protects the city, which is equivalent to an official sent by the underworld to a certain city, in charge of the underworld affairs within the city, and has the right to appoint officials in the city, as well as the land gods and mountain gods within the scope of the city.

If it corresponds to the Yang Jian (mortal realm), it is equivalent to the mayor being able to appoint the county magistrate and the township head.

No matter how small the land god's official position is, it is appointed by the City God. A person who dares to kill the land god is at least not afraid of being wanted by the City God.

Is the other party a ghost and god, or a warlock?

Seeing that I didn't speak, the matchmaker thought that she had said too much again, and quickly said: "After that coffin was sent back to Zao Mu Village, it seemed to have grown on the ground. More than a dozen people went up to push it, but they couldn't move it."

"At that time, someone said that the coffin wouldn't move because it had grievances, and if the grievances weren't resolved, it would drag people down!"

"In less than two days, people in the village began to die one after another. Those people all hanged themselves inexplicably. One died in the house today, and one hung on the tree tomorrow. In short, there were countless people who hanged themselves."

"At that time, someone said: Could it be that Mei Zi is back? The villagers all felt that Mei Zi had come back to take lives."

"Those people burned incense, kowtowed, but they couldn't send away the vengeful ghost, and they still hanged themselves on the trees one by one."

"The village raised money to find a Taoist priest. When the old Taoist came, he said: What a strong evil aura. I can't send this evil aura away. Whoever caused the trouble back then, should clean it up themselves. After saying that, he left."

"A few old people in the village discussed it for a whole night. The next morning, a total of ten people hanged themselves on the jujube tree. Several branches of the jujube tree were broken, and those branches were broken, but the people hanging on them still couldn't touch the ground!"

"The villagers didn't even dare to collect the corpses and went to move the coffin. The coffin really moved. At that time, the village found a few strong young men to bury the coffin, but those people never returned. No one knew where the coffin was buried."

"The villagers never waited for the people who buried the coffin to come back, and they didn't know whether they should collect the corpses on the trees. When people's hearts were in turmoil, some people simply didn't wait and secretly moved away."

"When one person left, others followed. In a few days, the people of Zao Mu Village were all gone. This village was completely deserted."

"That's right!" The matchmaker seemed to have remembered something: "That big jujube tree only has five branches, because the branches that were broken by the dead people back then never grew again, that's how this tree came to be."

I turned my head and exchanged glances with Ye Yang before asking: "Have you seen the female ghost in the wedding dress?"
