The five of them quietly went out in the dark without disturbing anyone.

"Look, there's a light on there."

Everyone looked in the direction Yu Nian pointed, and through the paper-covered window they could see two figures, a man and a woman, talking about something.

"Let's go over and listen, maybe we can learn something."

After listening carefully, I found out that it was Wen Bo and his mother, Mrs. Wen, arguing.

"Son, is it worth it to do so much for that woman?" Madam Wen said with a hint of disappointment. "She's just a woman. There are all kinds of women in the world, but you have to..."

Wenbo's voice was very firm, "Yes, it has to be her! Mother, Yao'er is my wife and the only love of my life, you don't have to say anymore..."

It's all about family matters, no useful information.

Several people left quietly and had no intention of eavesdropping on the mother and son's conversation, but Wang Yang insisted on listening. Liu An was very angry and took this shameless, unscrupulous and bottom-line-free friend away.

"Mr. Wen is such a devoted man!" Wang Yang sighed as he stepped on the flying sword.

Just like what is written in the storybook, the hero and heroine love each other deeply. After getting married, they thought they would live a happy life, but there was an ignorant and evil mother-in-law standing between them... Oh, it's really frustrating.

"arrive."

When I landed from the sky, what I saw were graves all over the mountains and fields under the moonlight.

The souls of the deceased who have come to Wangxiangyi for hundreds of years rest here. In the middle of the cemetery, there is a bluestone path leading directly to the top of the mountain. The weeds and trees around the path have been carefully tended, and the tombstones have been wiped clean. There is no gloomy or terrifying atmosphere in the whole cemetery, and everywhere is filled with the living's remembrance of the dead.

Logically speaking, such a burial place should be very peaceful, but there is a lot of resentment here. There may be the sun pressing down on it during the day, but at night all the resentment comes out all at once, making people's scalps numb.

Wang Yang and the others were all cultivators, so they were naturally not afraid of these grievances. They put up talismans to ward off evil spirits, picked up shovels and started searching everywhere.

"These maids died not long ago, so naturally the soil in these graves is relatively new. Since they all died in the Wen Mansion, they should be buried in the same place. At least, these graves should not be too far apart. Let's look around. Is there a place with more than ten new graves?"

"found it!"

As soon as Wang Yang finished speaking, Cai Qi waved from a distance and everyone followed him.

"Yin Yang Wu Ji, excuse me for disturbing you."

In order to respect the deceased, they did not use any violent magic to dig the grave, but did it carefully and personally.

"Let me help you." Seeing that everyone was busy, Yu Nian also wanted to go forward to help.

Ling Cang pursed his lips and said lightly, "Go away!"

Wang Yang looked at Yu Nian's pure white robe, then at her frail figure. "No need, Senior Yu, just help us keep an eye on our surroundings."

"That's right, although Senior Yu has a high level of cultivation, she is still a girl after all. Leave this matter to us."

Soon, an exquisitely crafted mahogany coffin was dug open by four people. Liu An moved the coffin lid, revealing the female corpse lying inside.

The woman's body was not decayed, but it looked as if something had sucked out all the blood and flesh. Her skin was tightly attached to her bones, and her face was no longer recognizable.

There must be something seriously wrong with this death.

Ling Cang squatted down and carefully examined the female corpse. He put his fingers on the pulse of the female corpse's neck, closed his eyes and input spiritual power to feel it.

He had practiced evil in his previous life, so he was naturally more sensitive to the evil techniques. As expected, he felt the residual energy of the evil techniques in the female corpse.

He opened his eyes and nodded solemnly, "It was the evil cultivators causing trouble."

It seems that the previous speculation that someone was practicing evil magic was true.

Liu An's face instantly fell, and he was deeply shocked. He couldn't believe that the woman who was as gentle as a close sister would do such a thing. He murmured, "How could a woman like Madam Fan Yao do such a heinous thing? How could she..."

What they didn't notice was that countless vines quietly broke through the ground in the dark earth and gradually stretched towards them.

"No, be careful!"

Yu Nian, who had been observing the surroundings, was the first to discover it. He used his spiritual power to break the vines that were spreading over, and then pushed Ling Cang away.

The next moment, a vine slammed heavily onto the spot where they had been standing.

Except for Wang Yang, who was more vigilant and escaped from the attack of the vines in a panic, Liu An and Cai Qi were entangled by the vines and hung upside down in the air.

There were more and more vines, attracting him from all directions. Wang Yang, who was alone in the vines, was about to be unable to hold on and was forced to retreat. Suddenly, that thing wrapped around his feet. The next second, Wang Yang's world turned upside down. He was hung upside down, and the sword in his hand was entangled by the vines and thrown away.

Just like during the day, small cracks appeared on the vines and began to absorb the blood and energy of the three of them. The nourished vines waved even more happily.

Yu Nian took out the fireball talisman and threw it over a large area, stopping the movement of the vines.

Those vines seemed to have intelligence. Knowing that they could not resist the fireball, they rolled up Liu An and the other two and blocked them in front of them.

The fireball talisman had a large attack range and was bound to cause accidental injuries, so Yu Nian had no choice but to take out his heavy sword to attack.

Sword shadows lit up the night sky, chopping the attacking vines into pieces. The thing was frightened by Yu Nianzhan and knew that she was not easy to deal with, so it retracted all the tentacle-like vines and wanted to take the three of them away.

"Stay here!"

Yu Nian slashed his sword at the center of the vines that the monster used to bind the three people. The monster screamed and threw the three people out.

The layers of vines were cut open, revealing the man wrapped in the middle.

"Who are you?" Yu Nian stared at him warily.

"Master, he's a ghost cultivator," Ling Cang pointed to the vine fragments on the ground, "These are ghost vines cultivated using evil magic, and they can only parasitize the dead."

The man didn't react at all when his identity was revealed. His face was full of anger. He controlled the vines to roll up the sachet that had fallen on the ground and slowly sank it into the ground.

Seeing that the monster wanted to escape with the sachet, a crystal clear ice lotus condensed in Yu Nian's palm.

The ice lotus rushed towards the ghost cultivator like a meteor. The ghost cultivator knew that he could not avoid it, so he stretched out countless vines to try to stop it. Who would have thought that the ice lotus began to spin, and countless petals flew out like sharp blades, cutting off the vines that were swarming towards him.

The sachet fell to the ground, and Ling Cangfei stepped forward to pick it up. When the ghost cultivator wanted to take it again, it was too late, so he simply sped up his escape.

Yu Nian was about to go and stop them when suddenly a fire appeared at the foot of the mountain and a man dressed as a Taoist priest rushed over with the villagers.

"Everyone come quickly, someone is stealing the body!"

Monks do not fight with ordinary people, especially when they are in the wrong. So they returned to the Wen Mansion in shame.

After so much trouble, fighting ghosts, investigating, and digging graves, everyone is tired and it's time to have a good sleep.

Even if the sky falls, I have to wait until I get enough sleep and wake up tomorrow to deal with it!
