Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“What’s going on?”

After seeing Master Chi’s series of actions and the black mist that had just appeared out of thin air around Ruan Shenglin, everyone’s faces changed drastically. They looked at Master Chi and then at the black water on the floor. Only after confirming that there really was a lot of black water on the floor did they confirm that they hadn’t been dreaming.

For a moment, the atmosphere was deathly silent and everyone’s faces didn’t look good. Xu Tong and Yang Kun were the ones who were the most concerned about Ruan Shenglin. Their faces were terrifyingly white. It was only when Master Chi resolved this matter that their pale complexions improved a lot. However, they still looked at Ruan Shenglin with relief and some fear.

Ruan Shenglin also gradually came back to his senses and stared blankly at Master Chi.

Seeing that everyone’s faces didn’t look good, Chi Shuyan comforted them. “It’s fine now.”

Feng Yuanlin was the first to notice that the Buddha statue which Ruan Shenglin had brought back had turned into a pile of dirt. He was stunned. “What is this?”

At Feng Yuanlin’s reminder, everyone’s attention was on the Buddha statue that had just turned into a pile of dirt. When everyone saw it, their faces changed drastically. Those who were braver could still think rationally, while those who were timid were scared out of their wits again.

Xu Tong stuttered, “Master Chi, what… what on earth is going on?”

Feng Yuanlin was the first to figure out the crux of the matter. “Shuyan, does this have to do with accepting the Buddha?”

He looked at Shuyan questioningly, but was already 70 to 80% sure.

When Feng Yuanlin mentioned accepting the True Buddha Lord, the others also remembered that Ruan Shenglin had indeed touched the Buddha statue earlier, but hadn’t completed the ritual.

If it hadn’t been completed, why did that thing still haunt him?

Ruan Shenglin was also puzzled at that moment. He suddenly asked, “Master Chi, the ritual… wasn’t completed, right? Also, what are the consequences of inviting in this True Buddha?”

At the thought of that short, mournful howl just now, Ruan Shenglin’s face turned pale. Actually, he was more afraid of coming under someone else’s control. Still in shock, he looked at the pile of dirt. He didn’t forget that when Master Chi had held this thing over a candle, it felt like he had been set on fire.

He had a vague idea of the consequences of inviting in the True Buddha Lord, but he wasn’t completely sure.

Now that he had a vague idea, he thought of those familiar faces in the film crew who had invited in the Buddha, and felt even more worried and uneasy.

The second half of Ruan Shenglin’s question was actually what everyone else wanted to know.

If she hadn’t gone to the temple tonight, Chi Shuyan wouldn’t have been able to answer this question, but now, she completely understood the consequences of inviting in this Buddha. She thought of the disgusting evil thing in the village temple that was the True Buddha Lord. There was no trace of warmth in her eyes, and she didn’t hide it as she said, “This village calls it inviting in the True Buddha Lord, but in fact, it’s giving away your life and putting it in someone else’s hands.” Chi Shuyan paused. In case that the others didn’t understand, she was about to use the Xu family as an example, when she saw Xu Tong’s face turn abnormally pale. She clutched her stomach and looked terrible.

Chi Shuyan immediately remembered that Xu Tong was pregnant and had been frightened earlier. It probably wouldn’t be good to frighten her again now. She immediately changed the subject and had Ruan Shenglin take his wife to rest first.

Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun were stumped. “Master Chi, aren’t we leaving tonight?”

Chi Shuyan really wanted to leave tonight, but Qi Zhenbai wasn’t back yet. It wasn’t just Brother Feng; she also had her own selfish motives and wanted to wait for Qi Zhenbai to leave the village with them.

Afraid that Ruan Shenglin and the others would think too much, she explained, “It shouldn’t be a problem to leave tomorrow at the latest.” Although she said that, she suddenly thought of the calendar she had seen in Pan Dalei’s residence tonight, the content of the ninth drawing in the temple and the date next to it, and her heart inexplicably sank.

Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Xu Tong naturally listened to whatever Master Chi said. Hearing her words, they relaxed. Afraid that Master Chi would forget them tomorrow, they repeatedly emphasized that they would follow her when she left the village – only then did they go back.

Chi Shuyan naturally agreed. “Okay, leave your number. I’ll let you know when we’re leaving!”

“That’s great!” Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Xu Tong were immediately overjoyed and excited.

After leaving her a phone number, Ruan Shenglin and Xu Tong left feeling reassured. Yang Kun was also about to leave, but he was a shrewd person to begin with. He could tell that Master Chi still had a lot to say. She probably didn’t say anything just now because Shenglin’s wife didn’t look good.

This was a matter of life and death, so Yang Kun naturally wanted to know more. So, when Shenglin and Xu Tong left, he found an excuse to stay behind.

Ruan Shenglin relaxed when he saw Brother Kun stay behind. After all, Brother Kun was on their side – knowing more would only benefit them.

After Ruan Shenglin and Xu Tong left, Yang Kun said embarrassedly, “Master Chi, can I stay?”

Chi Shuyan already had a good impression of Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Xu Tong, so she naturally didn’t disagree. Then, with a solemn face, she recounted how she had accidentally found out the truth about the Xu family after entering the temple, and how an evil creature had been raised there. She explained in detail what happened to the Xu family back then, including how the Xu son had died.

Feng Yuanlin, Wu Haoming and Xiao Shan had experienced what happened at No. 5 Junior High, so they were quite brave. When they heard that there was an ‘evil creature’ in the village, they were quite calm. At most, they thought, “Oh, I see.”

When they heard what happened to the Xu family back then, they were shocked, especially when they found out how and why the Xu son had died, as well as the true consequence of inviting in the True Buddha. Brother Feng and the others shuddered violently.

Feng Yuanlin was still in disbelief. “Shuyan, what did you say?”

Chi Shuyan repeated calmly, “Brother Feng, like I said, inviting in that thing is actually a death sentence. Although I don’t know exactly how it works, as long as the other party burns the Buddha statue which you were given, you’ll be the one to die! This should be the true consequence of inviting in the True Buddha Lord!”

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone sucked in cold breaths and was stunned speechless.

Yang Kun had just been scared out of his wits by Master Chi’s revelation about some evil creature being raised in the village temple. After that, he was so scared by the death of the Xu son that his whole body trembled and his teeth chattered non-stop. Not only was his whole body soft now, his legs also turned to jelly. Fortunately, there was a chair next to him.

Yang Kun shakily pulled out the chair and sat down with difficulty.

It was over. What if he didn’t dare go back to his place later?

Yang Kun gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind to find an excuse to get Brother Wu to walk him back to his place. Ahh, too scary!

Scary was scary, but Yang Kun was still very glad that he knew the truth. He thought about how lucky he was that he had listened to Master Chi and hadn’t invited in that thing. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

A lot had happened after Chi Shuyan went to the temple tonight. She looked a little tired. Feng Yuanlin took in Shuyan’s tired expression and found an excuse to send Xiao Shan, Wu Haoming and Yang Kun away.

Before Yang Kun went out, however, Chi Shuyan keenly sensed the abnormality in his expression. He wanted to say something, but hesitated. It wasn’t difficult to guess what he was thinking. She said, “If you want to warn the rest of the crew, you can, but don’t be in a hurry to tell them the truth. I’ll give them Exorcism Talismans to stick on the Buddha statue. Wait, the most important thing is that it has to be the Buddha statue which they were given. Don’t let them give it to anyone else.”

Yang Kun was overjoyed and excited when he heard Master Chi’s words. He knew that Master Chi was very ‘kind’ and was completely different from other Masters who put on airs. He immediately replied excitedly, “Okay, Master Chi, don’t worry. I definitely won’t say anything I shouldn’t.”

After the three left, there were only two people left in the living room. Feng Yuanlin was still a little worried. “Shuyan, Zhenbai isn’t back tonight. Shall we leave tomorrow?”

Chi Shuyan rubbed her temples and wasn’t in a hurry to answer. Instead, she thought of the calendar she had seen in the village chief’s house, as well as the date and content of the ninth drawing. She felt that there was an inexplicable connection between the two, and she also felt that she was missing something important. This matter stuck in her head, and she felt even more uneasy. Her right eyelid twitched non-stop.

Chi Shuyan pondered for a moment before she said to Feng Yuanlin decisively, “Brother Feng, I have something to ask of you.”

Chi Shuyan didn’t keep him in suspense, and directly recounted how she wanted Brother Feng to help her ask the villagers about the date.

Although Feng Yuanlin didn’t understand Shuyan’s motive, he still agreed without hesitation. “Okay!”

“Brother Feng, be careful when you go out.” After all, most of the people in this village were dead. As for why they sometimes acted strangely at night, she didn’t know the reason for it yet.
