It's better to imagine a boyfriend than to attack the villain

Chen Huyi turned his head slightly, glanced at her lightly, then looked away again without saying another word.

Just as he was about to turn and leave, the old woman stepped forward again, grabbed his sleeve tightly, and said repeatedly with a serious and anxious look: "My child, you must remember to leave our village before sunset! Don't delay!"

Chen Huyi looked at the old lady's face which was full of concern and worry, and nodded slightly, indicating that he already knew and agreed to the matter.

At this time, the sun was high in the sky, casting its golden rays across the earth. The villagers began to leave their homes, preparing to start their day's work.

However, what was strange was that everyone looked listless and dejected, as if they were shrouded by an invisible pressure.

Chen Huyi walked along the village path with determined steps. Soon, he came to a thatched house that looked particularly dilapidated.

It is said that this was the place where the mysterious master invited by the village performed magic.

Chen Huyi stepped into the house without hesitation. The moment he stepped into the door, the old and dilapidated door, which was already shaky and crumbling, slowly closed by itself with a creaky sound.

Chen Huyi did not show any panic at this sudden change, and did not even turn his head. He just walked to a cleaner and tidier place in the corner of the room, and then sat down cross-legged on the ground casually.

Then, he carefully took out a crystal clear crystal ball from his arms and gently placed it on the ground.

Afterwards, Chen Huyi muttered something, and after a faint light flashed, the crystal ball suddenly bloomed and turned into a soft water curtain that wrapped around a small and exquisite koi.

The koi fish swam in the water curtain, shining like a dazzling gem.

Chen Huyi always had a faint smile on his face. He reached out and picked a beautiful little water lily beside him, gently put it into the water, and presented it to the koi.

The cute little koi swam happily towards the water lily and swallowed it in one gulp.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of whistling wind coming from all around.

The sounds of the wind were sometimes low like rolling thunder, and sometimes sharp like the howling of ghosts and wolves, and seemed to be mixed with faint warnings and threats.

But neither Chen Huyi nor the little koi in the water curtain showed any signs of panic, and they continued to do their own things calmly.

"Sir." A voice with a hint of fear suddenly came from behind. The voice seemed to come from the depths of the underworld, making people feel a chill in their hearts.

Chen Huyi turned around upon hearing the voice and saw a woman in a gorgeous red dress slowly walking towards him. She was graceful and walked lightly, like a blood rose blooming in the dark night, exuding a mysterious and charming aura.

When she reached Chen Huyi, the woman stopped and bowed slightly, her movements elegant and dignified.

"This lord's aura is extraordinary and unworldly, and definitely not from this mortal world. I am allowed to remain in the human world only with the permission of His Majesty Yama. If I have offended you in any way, I hope you will forgive me."

The woman raised her head and stared at Chen Huyi with her beautiful eyes, her eyes revealing awe and earnestness.

Chen Yuyi nodded slightly, expressing his understanding, and said slowly, "I already know about this matter. As the saying goes, karma will always come true. The person who once harmed you has now disappeared. I believe it is time for you to return to the underworld to report."

Hearing this, a flicker of relief crossed the red-dressed woman's face, but it was quickly replaced by worry. She replied respectfully, "I naturally understand this. However, even though those evildoers are dead, their remaining evil remains unyielding."

They actually used those pitiful deformed children as nutrient to nourish the evil forces, hoping to suppress the resentment of us women and keep us trapped here forever, unable to reincarnate and gain a new life.

At this point, the woman's tone became more sad and angry, and her delicate body trembled slightly with anger.

She was a ghost formed from the endless resentment of countless mothers murdered and their children born with deformities. The underworld, moved by pity, granted them temporary shelter in this dilapidated hut, allowing them to slowly dissipate their resentment.

However, those ignorant and stupid villagers refused to give up and repeatedly invited Taoist priests and monks from all over the place to set up altars and perform rituals here.

Faced with this situation, these poor resentful spirits had no choice but to expel those who came to cause trouble in order to continue to survive in the world and seek a chance of survival.

Occasionally, some naughty children would come here to play and accidentally knock over or even break the pottery jars that they had carefully placed.

In this way, the children themselves were contaminated with some gloomy energy, but in fact they only needed to rest and recuperate for a few days and bask in the warm sunshine for a few days to recover as before, so they had no intention of harming these innocent little lives.

What a pity! Those ignorant people actually blamed all the misfortunes that happened on these vengeful spirits, and even instigated those so-called Taoist priests and monks to cast spells, completely cutting off their path back to the underworld.

Now, she was forced to stay in this village. She had no choice but to sneak out in the dark of night to warn those who were still stubborn.

Chen Yuyi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what the other party meant. "Don't worry, I will definitely open the passage to the underworld for you."

Hearing this, the woman's face lit up with joy, and she quickly bowed and thanked him, saying, "I would like to thank you for your help, sir!"

Chen Huyi glanced at the woman, then stood up, patted his clothes gently, and then carefully put the little koi in his hand back into the jade pendant around his waist.

After doing this, he took off without looking back. The woman in red stood quietly in her place, her eyes following Chen Huyi's receding figure until he was completely out of sight.

As he walked, Chen Huyi suddenly realized that this originally small village seemed to be becoming more and more deserted. He cast a spell and quickly scanned the entire village.

There are fewer people in the village. A rough estimate shows that there are less than ten people left in the village.

After careful observation, he found that most of the remaining ten people were elderly people with limited mobility, and they basically lived here alone.

Some elderly people have never married and live alone in their entire lives; some elderly people have been married but were eventually abandoned.

Just like the lady I met before, she was lucky enough to avoid some terrible curse because she was infertile.

However, perhaps it is itself a product of that curse...

Chen Huyi shook his head and waited until midnight to send the ghosts away before going through all the formations again.

Shortly after the ghost was sent away, the river, which had been flowing peacefully in the village, suddenly seemed to be affected by some mysterious force and the water level began to rise dramatically. The surging water was like a ferocious beast, roaring and rushing towards the entire village.

It’s just that the people who were sleeping were unaware of anything. It was a rare occasion for them to have a good night’s sleep.

When the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth the next morning, the villagers woke up one after another. They rubbed their sleepy eyes, opened the door, and were immediately stunned by the scene before them.

The haze that had originally shrouded the village has completely dissipated, replaced by bright sunshine and a clear blue sky.

What surprised them even more was that the fields that had once been abandoned due to barrenness were now sprouting a variety of lush green crops. These crops were growing so well that it seemed as if they had completed their growth cycle overnight.

However, amidst the excitement, some careful villagers also noticed changes in the surrounding environment.

They were surprised to find that, except for the house they lived in, all other buildings, including the dilapidated hut, had disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed.

A water lily wrapped around a small koi carp floated down the river, slowly leaving the village behind.
