Chapter 244: 244

244「Shut up, if you speak again I'll turn you into lightning-struck wood! 」

Four people got in the car, Wang Dongqing drove while Tushan Jiu reported a location.

The car headed all the way to a village in the neighboring city.

Because the span was large and the distance far, the car drove for over two hours before arriving.

Along the way, Tushan Jiu and Maomao, sitting in the back, were really annoyed.

That puppet spirit kept knocking on their chair backs.

「Puppet rights, I have puppet rights, if you don't pay attention to me, I'll jump out of the car! 」

Just like chanting sutras, they kept nagging halfway through; when they reached the service area, Maomao directly made a hand seal and cast a silencing spell on it, finally quieting down.

The latter half became much quieter, and several people also began discussing the matter of going to find that godmother.

That's right, the four of them went to find that godmother.

Because that godmother had also been possessed by that thing.

The snake spirit naturally needed to be captured.

If it had the ability to directly kill Li Ziliang himself, they would have switched to a different case—who made Li Ziliang kill someone's child?

But it shouldn't have rushed to possess Li Ziliang's son's body, disregarding the innocent!

Moreover, afterward, to avoid punishment from the office, it also devoured Li Niao's soul.

After the snake spirit devoured Li Niao's soul, it found its cultivation greatly increased and wanted to kill Li Ziliang, but the police who arrested Li Ziliang arrived quickly, and he was directly taken to the police station.

And because the snake spirit had devoured Li Niao's soul, it carried yin energy, so it naturally couldn't enter a place like the police station that brims with righteous and vigorous energy, thus it failed to kill him.

But possessing ordinary people and devouring Li Niao's soul are mistakes; it must receive corresponding punishment.

So they came looking for it.

They prepared to draw out the snake spirit's demonic power and let it re-cultivate.

What it shouldn't have obtained, it ought not to have.

Li Niao's soul is one of those.

Upon reaching the gate of Changsheng Village, the four got out of the car.

Wang Dongqing stretched a big yawn, rubbed his lower back, "Ayoyo my goodness, I'm exhausted!"

Xiang Yichu: "On the way back I'll drive, you rest."

"Okay." Wang Dongqing bent over and lifted a black box from the car.

Inside was precisely his peach wood sword, a magical implement.

Because carrying it around was really inconvenient, he therefore took a magical implement box from the office.

Such boxes are specially prepared for large magical implements.

For example, if someone uses a soul-summoning banner, a seven-star sword, a copper-coin sword, or a ghost-hitting staff, etc. —these kinds of conspicuous magical implements attract public attention—so they are placed in the box for convenient transport.

After all, aside from Tushan Jiu, nobody else has a storage bracelet.

Changsheng Village isn't big, the roads are narrow, so they didn't drive in; besides, it's not far, they could just walk.

That godmother is fairly well-known in the village, but Tushan Jiu and the others know she only has the talent for deceit.

After all, a godmother with any real ability wouldn't be possessed.

Upon arriving at the godmother's house, several vehicles were parked at her gate.

In the courtyard stood several groups of people, and there were a few at the entrance, making it a bit crowded.

The four didn't go in; this was the moment for Wang Dongqing to step forward.

He went to ask the people at the gate what they were there for.

A big sister at the gate, quite enthusiastic, immediately began talking to him: "Little brother, you've come to the right place; I'm just here to watch the excitement. I heard that this Godmother Bao recently invited back a new deity, very spiritual. Look, those several luxury cars parked over there are all from the city coming to consult her."

That big sister sized up Wang Dongqing from head to toe: "You look unfamiliar; you're not from our village, right? You came to consult Godmother Bao but didn't even know she'd invited a new deity?"

Wang Dongqing gave a hehe laugh: "I know, hehe, I just didn't expect there would be so many people."

"Eh, there are even more people on Saturdays and Sundays."

As soon as the words fell, someone inside shouted, "Divine, truly divine! Granny Bao, you are literally a savior god who rescues from suffering!"

Tushan Jiu and the others furrowed their brows and stepped forward to go inside.

But just as they stepped inside the doorway, they were stopped: "Do you have today's reservation? Give me the reservation number before you can enter."

Wang Dongqing directly produced his credentials: "Office business, cracking down on feudal superstition—now clearing the premises, everyone out!"

Because the office's credentials resemble a police ID, everyone instinctively assumed they were police upon seeing them.

Moreover, Wang Dongqing kept shouting about cracking down on feudal superstition, and instantly everyone believed it.

The big sister who had just been talking to Wang Dongqing at the gate, seeing they were police, turned and ran, fearing she'd be arrested for just watching the fun.

There were not a few like her.

Before long, besides the four of them, there was no one left in the courtyard.

A person walked out of the house holding a string of wooden beads: "I finally managed to get this evil-repelling bead bracelet—88,800, totally worth it!"

The puppet spirit that had originally been sitting on Xiang Yichu's shoulder, disguised as a puppet, exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this: "How much does this junk sell for?"

Xiang Yichu hurriedly lifted it down and covered its mouth.

The man looked at Xiang Yichu, thinking he had said that, and snorted: "You don't understand anything—I recently had my luck borrowed, Granny Bao helped me retrieve it, that person then gave me a curse, and I obtained this evil-repelling bead bracelet to wear; only then could the curse be lifted. My stomach had been hurting just now, but as soon as I touched the bracelet, the pain vanished instantly—how divine!"

The four stared speechlessly at the man in a suit before them.

Borrowing luck and laying curses—can a person even survive that?

How can they believe any nonsense?

But they also couldn't be bothered to waste words on such a fool; after all, he'll find out soon enough.

From inside came a somewhat aged voice: "Next."

Tushan Jiu and the others didn't move.

That man looked around and saw that the people in the courtyard had all disappeared; he found it strange, hearing Granny Bao inside calling for the next person, and kindly reminded Tushan Jiu and the others, "Is it your turn? Hurry up and go in, don't anger Granny Bao."

After saying that, the man stroked his precious bead bracelet and walked out.

"Next, you may come in." The voice inside sounded again.

Tushan Jiu and the others still didn't move.

Xiang Yichu took out the transparent tape he carried, wrapped it around the mouth of the puppet spirit in his hand, and now we'll see if he can still speak.

"Mmm mmm mmm... (I didn't say anything wrong, that wood can't even keep up with me!)"

After Xiang Yichu finished wrapping, he tapped the puppet spirit's head, "Shut up, if you speak again I'll turn you into thunder-struck wood!"
