A passerby in a horror movie

"It's alright, I already have an idea."

Li Haotian nodded, not paying any attention.

After learning the method, he also gained a general understanding of the abbot's and Taoist priest Li Fude's cultivation levels.

The two Taoist priests had cultivated for many years and possessed considerable skill, but their abilities were limited to drawing talismans and performing hand seals, as well as using magical artifacts for attacks.

There aren't many spells that can actually be used.

Not to mention the ability to fly, teleport, and control heavenly lightning.

There are none of the magical spells you see in movies here.

So Li Haotian stopped relying on them.

After all, the two Taoist priests had to manage the Wong Tai Sin Temple, and it was impossible for them to run around with him to catch ghosts. It was hard to say whether they would even be able to catch them.

The abbot and Taoist priest Li Fude have already helped him a lot, and he is now capable of protecting himself. It would be unreasonable to trouble them any further.

"What idea? Do you know how powerful this female ghost is? She's a vengeful spirit who has killed many people."

“My senior brother and I are equally bad at it. If you didn’t have the magic weapon bestowed by Huang Daxian, you would probably die a terrible death.”

Li Fude was afraid that Li Haotian would become arrogant after learning the magic, so he quickly scolded him.

He was also worried that Li Haotian would get carried away with his passion and try to slay demons like the people on TV, only to lose his life in vain.

"Ahem, do you think I'm that stupid, Taoist priest, that I have to fight the evil ghost head-on? I'm planning to outsmart it."

Li Haotian quickly replied.

"Outsmart them? How do we outsmart them?"

Hearing Li Haotian's words, Li Fude was somewhat skeptical. He had caught ghosts before, and these things might not even have any consciousness. They were completely different from living people, so there was no way to reason with them.

“You two Taoist priests are unaware of this, but I had already investigated the matter of Huangshan Village before I came here.”

"This female ghost is called Chu Renmei. She was the wife of Bu Wantian in Huangshan Village. She made a living by singing Cantonese opera. Bu Wantian wanted to divorce his wife in order to get close to the daughter of a rich man."

So he bribed thugs to harass Chu Renmei, falsely accusing her of adultery. When the villagers of Huangshan Village discovered this, they beat her to death. After her death, Chu Renmei learned the truth from her nephew, and thus became a vengeful ghost, killing all sixty-six people in Huangshan Village.

"Later, Chu Renmei's nephew put a bracelet on her, which calmed her resentment. I guess something must have happened to Chu Renmei's body, causing the bracelet to fall off, which is why Chu Renmei came out to harm people."

"I want to find Chu Renmei's body, put the bracelet back on her, and rebury her. That should be able to appease her."

Li Haotian recounted the story about Chu Renmei.

After listening, the supervisor and Li Fude remained silent for a while.

They only had a vague understanding of this matter, but they never expected that Li Haotian would know so much about it.

"If your investigation is true, this method is indeed feasible, but do you know where her body is?"

Li Fude asked.

"We only know the general direction; to find the specifics, we need to find Chu Renmei's nephew, Xiaoqiang."

Li Haotian explained.

Although the movie states that Chu Renmei's body is in a construction site, the exact location still needs to be confirmed, so Xiaoqiang needs to be found first.

However, in the movie, Chu Renmei's body was thrown into the water, and Li Haotian still needed to be prepared to retrieve the body, which he had already planned.

After giving Li Haotian a few instructions, the abbot handed him some talismans before letting him leave.

Li Haotian went to the backyard and called Xiaoming out.

"Xiaoming, I need your help to find an old man named Li Qiang, who is about eighty years old. He used to study at the Minsheng Film School and his hometown is Huangshan Village."

"This person is crucial; you need to find him within three days."

Li Haotian said to Xiaoming.

He is currently a folklore reporter from mainland China, but he is unfamiliar with Hong Kong Island and it is very inconvenient for him to find people.

However, Xiaoming is different. He is a local, has a reporter sister, and is friends with Fa Mao, who studies drama. He has a wide network of connections, and it was he and Fa Mao who found Xiaoqiang in the movie.

"Okay, I will definitely find him."

Xiao Ming nodded solemnly.

Having witnessed Li Haotian's methods, Xiaoming now obeys his every word.

Moreover, his girlfriend and friends were under threat from a vengeful ghost, so he naturally cooperated fully.

Xiao Ming left Wong Tai Sin Temple and began seeking help from his sister, brother-in-law, and Fa Mao. With their investigation, information about Li Qiang quickly came into Xiao Ming's hands.

After screening, Li Qiang's residence was confirmed in less than two days.

However, after seeing the person, Xiaoming was kicked out.

Li Qiang was very reluctant to talk about Chu Renmei and had no intention of leaving with Xiaoming.

Having no other choice, Xiaoming had to call Li Haotian.

After receiving the news, Li Haotian took a taxi directly to the other party's house.

He hasn't been idle these past few days either, studying with Abbot Li Fude at Wong Tai Sin Temple, which has greatly improved his control over his magical powers.

“Master, Elder Li is quite agitated, and I really can’t persuade him to come over.”

Upon seeing Li Haotian, Xiaoming said with a helpless expression.

At first, Fa Mao was having a good chat with the old man, but when Huangshan Village was mentioned, the old man suddenly changed his attitude and kicked them out.

"You must be Mr. Li. I heard from Xiaoming that you were the one who saved them. Thank you so much!"

Fa Mao, who was standing to the side, saw Li Haotian and asked him with great curiosity.

Based on Xiaoming's description, he initially thought Li Haotian was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, but he didn't expect him to look so young.

Fa Mao himself had some knowledge of spirituality, and seeing Li Haotian inevitably aroused his sexual interest.

He became even more curious after hearing that Li Haotian had the ability to exorcise ghosts.

Seeing Fa Mao's familiar Hong Kong drama face, Li Haotian smiled knowingly and nodded.

"Don't mention it. The most important thing now is to find the female ghost's body. Only Li Qiang knows the exact location. Come with me to see him again."

After saying that, Li Haotian led the two of them back to Li Qiang's house.

"Dong dong dong."

After knocking on the door, Li Qiang looked somewhat displeased when he saw who it was.

"Didn't I say I didn't want to see you? Hurry up and leave."

The old man looked very impatient, and a little frightened.

"Old Li, we've come for Chu Renmei's body. She's been thrown into the river, her bracelet fell off, and she's come back to harm people. I want to retrieve her body and rebury her. Can you help me, Old Li?"

Li Haotian began by explaining his purpose.

Li Qiang's expression froze, and his face became even more panicked.

"What did you say? Aunt Mei's body was thrown into the river?"

The door opened, and Li Qiang looked at Li Haotian and hurriedly asked.

“That’s right. Xiaoming’s friend drank water from the waterworks and was afflicted by evil spirits. One of them died that very day. If I hadn’t stopped them in time, they probably would have died by now.”

"Mr. Li, if Chu Renmei's body is not handled properly, it is possible that anyone who has drunk water from the waterworks could be killed. I hope you can lead us to her body to prevent the situation from escalating."

Li Haotian nodded.

"Oh, Aunt Mei, why are you doing this to yourself!"

"Okay, I'll take you to find it."

After listening to Li Haotian's words, Li Qiang was also moved. He both loved and feared Chu Renmei. He loved her for the kind aunt who doted on him when she was alive, but he feared her for being a ruthless ghost who killed without blinking an eye.

However, no matter what, Chu Renmei was his family, and Li Qiang didn't want Chu Renmei to be left in the water forever.

If what this young man said is true, and Chu Renmei has been killing people by the river, then her crime would be enormous.

With Li Qiang leading the way, Li Haotian and the other two quickly arrived at a hill. There was a small river next to the hill, and the construction site was not far away on the other side.

"This is the place. Aunt Mei's body was dumped here."

Li Qiang pointed to the vicinity of the construction site and said.
