Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

Chapter 1413: Encountering Qi Zhenbai

“Shuyan, it’s fine. It… It just… hurts a little here!” Feng Yuanlin clutched his chest. Not long after, his fingers felt wet. Chi Shuyan saw bright red blood overflow through his five fingers and drip on the ground. It was a ghastly sight.

Chi Shuyan reacted in the blink of an eye. She immediately shot out a strand of spiritual energy and stuck a Pure Yang Talisman on Brother Feng’s back. When the Pure Yang Talisman touched the strange smiling Buddha, there was a short, mournful scream. The Buddha statue that had just appeared immediately shattered and turned into black water which flowed down Brother Feng’s back.

Feng Yuanlin had felt a sharp pain in his chest just now, as if someone had stabbed a dagger into his heart and twisted the blade. Right after that, there was a short scream, and the pain in his chest disappeared a little. He heaved a sigh of relief and his complexion improved a little. He looked at Shuyan beside him and saw that her face was terrifyingly unsightly as she stared fixedly at his wound. Feng Yuanlin hurriedly said, “It’s fine, Shuyan. I’m fine! I’m fine!”

As soon as he said that, a Buddha statue with a dagger in its chest suddenly fell to the ground.

!!

A Buddha statue appeared once more, and their faces changed. This Buddha statue also alarmed the others again. Apart from fear in their eyes, their expressions were very complicated.

Chi Shuyan’s eyes swept over the Buddha statue, and her face was especially unsightly. Feng Yuanlin also stared blankly at the Buddha pendant on the ground with some apprehension in his eyes.

Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Yan Zhengming were all shocked by what happened to Feng Yuanlin just now. They thought that Master Chi’s friend would also meet an unlucky end like Ke Mingmei. Fortunately, Master Chi was around.

Ruan Shenglin first looked at the Buddha statue, then at Feng Yuanlin, whose complexion had improved. He asked worriedly, “Brother Feng, are you okay?”

Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun were more familiar with Feng Yuanlin and knew that he had never invited in the True Buddha Lord. Could it be that something would still happen to a person who didn’t invite in the Buddha?

Thinking this, Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun’s hearts immediately turned cold. Their hands trembled as they gripped the talismans which Master Chi had given them.

Yan Zhengming was someone who was very good at reading people’s expressions. He sensed that something was wrong, but when he saw that Kun’er, Shenglin and Master Chi’s faces were very unsightly, he swallowed his words and didn’t ask questions.

Song Chu and Cao Zhengsong’s eyes were filled with fear, but they were guileless. They looked at the Master and could be said to now trust her very much.

Feng Yuanlin was about to reply, when Shuyan’s eyes suddenly flashed. She picked up the Buddha statue and handed it to him, then had Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and the others help him back to the car.

“Shuyan, you…”

Before Feng Yuanlin could finish speaking, a sharp and cold light flashed in Chi Shuyan’s eyes. She said, “Brother Feng, I’ll be back soon. Keep this thing properly!” With that, she told Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin to help Brother Feng back to the car.

When Yang Kun and Ruan Shenglin agreed, they saw Master Chi suddenly disappear in front of them like a gust of wind.

This move not only stupefied Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun, Yan Zhengming and the others, but also the rest of the crew. They were all dumbstruck and full of extreme disbelief, their jaws about to drop to the ground.

At that moment, many people in the film crew thought of how Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun had advised them not to invite in that True Buddha Lord, and how they had repeatedly mentioned that capable Master.

But no one had believed them back then. Looking at this young Master’s mysterious and unfathomable methods, the crew regretted not believing them back then.

By the way, it was the young Master who had saved Old Wang and Chang Chang just now. The terrified people immediately surrounded Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and the others as if they were their last hope of survival. They asked to buy all sorts of talismans and asked the group to introduce them to the young Master in the hope that she would save their lives. Some even offered high prices!

However, there were even some baffling complaints about the young Master leaving just like that. What if something happened again?

Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and the others sneered coldly after listening to the crew.

Sure enough!

No matter how good-natured and perfect a person might usually appear, that was all torn away in a life and death crisis, and only selfishness remained.

Of course, there were also many smart people in the film crew who knew that Master Chi’s friend was with them. That Master wouldn’t abandon her friend and secretly run away. Thinking this, they relaxed a little and surrounded Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Yan Zhengming.

Ruan Shenglin, Yang Kun and Yan Zhengming didn’t have time to exchange hypocritical pleasantries with this group of people. After sending Master Chi’s friend back to the car, they walked over to the unconscious Director Wang.

Chi Shuyan still vaguely remembered the contents of the nine drawings. One of them was of Pan Dalei sitting in front of a blue brick building and burning a Buddha statue. Chi Shuyan had always thought that Pan Dalei was burning the Buddha pendant in his home, but now that she thought about it, it was likely that Pan Dalei had not been at home, but at the temple.

Chi Shuyan rushed to the temple. She pushed the door open and walked into the courtyard. Dim candlelight illuminated the place. There was no one around. The white candlelight looked a little eerie in the dark interior.

However, she realized that there were many Buddha statues piled up at the entrance of the temple. There was also a brazier on the side. She took a look and saw that there were indeed two Buddha statues burning inside. The Buddha statues had already turned into charcoal, and only their vague shapes could be seen.

In addition to the brazier, there was also a hoe on the side. The ground under the iron hoe was stained with bright red blood. On a closer look, Chi Shuyan saw a Buddha statue lying in the blood.

It inexplicably reminded her of Ke Mingmei’s tragic death. She picked up the Buddha statue and saw that Ke Mingmei’s name was clearly written on the back.

Chi Shuyan had never been afraid of death, but at the thought that Ke Mingmei had been cut into three pieces with this hoe, an inexplicable chill filled her heart.

After that, Chi Shuyan also saw a Buddha statue with an injured chest on the side. The dagger in the chest was gone. There were also two other Buddha statues that were wrapped into mud balls.

The more Chi Shuyan looked, the colder her heart became. A gust of wind blew, and she shivered.

She immediately put the pile of Buddha statues into a Storage Talisman. Fortunately, Pan Dalei had gone off somewhere. Otherwise, many more people would have died by the time she rushed over.

After she put away the Buddha statues, there was a loud bang inside the temple. Chi Shuyan hesitated for a moment before she immediately walked into the temple, and saw that the Buddha statue on the first floor which everyone worshiped had shattered into pieces.

Not only that, there was chaos everywhere, as if an intense fight had just taken place.

Chi Shuyan was surprised and was about to go inside, when suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps from upstairs. The footsteps were very heavy, steady and powerful – it should be a man.

Chi Shuyan’s eyes were vigilant as she stared sharply at the stairs. Not long after, she saw a familiar tall man with the smell of blood on him slowly descend.

Who else could it be, but Qi Zhenbai?

The man’s face was half in the light and half in the dark. She couldn’t see his face clearly, but she could see a trace of gloom on it.

This man’s aura was both very familiar and a little unfamiliar.

Chi Shuyan was alarmed. She looked at the man and called out tentatively, “Qi Zhenbai?”

The man raised his head and his thin lips curved up slightly, but his face was unusually stiff as he called out, “Shuyan?”

Chi Shuyan took in the man’s gentle and indulgent gaze, but she felt that there was something strange about him. She didn’t know what it was, or if she was thinking too much. Looking at this man again, she felt even more uneasy.

At that moment, the man’s stiff expression quickly disappeared. He called out to her familiarly again, strode over, grabbed her wrist and walked out of the temple as he said, “There’s a car outside and people waiting. We’ll leave the village immediately.”

As the man spoke, Chi Shuyan continued sizing him up. Seeing that the strange feeling he had given her just now had disappeared, she was relieved. As she walked out, she asked, “Okay, leaving the village first is more important!”

Chi Shuyan didn’t notice that the moment she turned her head, the man’s cold and perfect features behind her suddenly turned malevolent, but the expression disappeared in a flash as he regained his composure.
