While going to the main room to eat, Wang Xiaohui had already set the table, and Hu Lanlan was helping out.
“Xiaohui, isn’t your dad coming to eat?”
Wang Xiaohui shook his head and said gently, “My dad will stay with the great-grandfather today. The ritual has just been performed, and my aunt will prepare the banquet.”
Wang Xiaohui cooked some home-style dishes, but Lei Yun ate with relish.
After the meal, Lei Yun lay on the **bed**, with Hu Lanlan, who was exhausted, sleeping beside him.
He glanced at Hu Lanlan’s sleeping face and carefully got up, trying not to disturb her. Who knew that even with extreme care, he still startled her.
Hu Lanlan kept her eyes closed, turned over, and slowly said, “Where are you going?”
Lei Yun smiled sheepishly, looking a bit guilty, and carefully said, “Aren’t you asleep?”
Hu Lanlan suddenly opened her eyes, glared at Lei Yun, and said, “Hmph, don’t change the subject. Tell me, what are you doing up in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?”

“What can you do?” Lei Yun quickly got into bed and said, “Don’t you have something to say to Xingyang Daoshi? Can I continue to sleep?” His tone was very serious, quite careless, and he carefully sized up Hu Lanlan’s expression.
“Xingyang Daoshi?” Hu Lanlan’s voice suddenly grew louder, and the original laziness instantly disappeared.
“Why would I look for him?”
Lei Yun scratched the back of his head and said with a Smile, “It’s nothing, just about the evil Daoist stuff. I’ll talk to Maoshan about it.”
Hu Lanlan suddenly got up, got out of bed, put her hands on her hips, pointed at Lei Yun and roared, “Lei Yun, don’t you know I don’t get along with Daoists?”
Lei Yun grinned and said, “I know, aren’t we in Dawang Village now? Don’t worry, Xingyang Daoshi is just going to Liujia Village, you won’t run into each other.”
“That’s too close, no, when is he arriving?”
Lei Yun thought for a moment and said, “It should be in the next two days, shall I call and ask?”
Hearing this, Hu Lanlan paced back and forth outside the house.
“Um, Lanlan, that, well, don’t dwell on the past.”
Hu Lanlan suddenly turned her head and glared at him, and said, “Hmm?”
Just as the two were at a stalemate, Lei Yun’s phone rang. He saw that it was Xingyang Daoshi.
Lei Yun turned the phone to show Hu Lanlan, then opened the door and walked out.
“Hello, Xingyang Daoshi?”
At this time, Xingyang Daoshi, accompanied by his disciple Chujiu, stood in Xiaowang Village, looking at the abnormal aura in the village, his brow furrowed.
“Old Lei, I can’t go to Liujia Village for the time being, you wait a bit.”
Lei Yun was taken aback and immediately said, “What’s wrong?”
Xingyang Daoshi frowned and looked at the sky above Dawang Village, “I’m in Dawang Village, I’ll come find you after I’ve dealt with the matter here.”
Hearing this, Lei Yun was stunned and said, “I’m in Xiaowang Village, how come you didn’t see me?”
Xingyang Daoshi said, “You’re here too.”
Lei Yun walked out of the courtyard gate and said, “That’s right, Liujia Village is desolate, there’s nothing to eat there.”
“That’s a coincidence, after I get rid of this evil spirit, I’ll go explore Liujia Village.”
The two met on the small path outside the village.
Lei Yun took advantage of the moonlight to carefully examine Xingyang Daoshi and his little disciple Chujiu.
Looking at Xingyang Daoshi, whose temples were already turning gray, Lei Yun sighed and said, “Time waits for no one, Xingyang Daoshi, my hair is all white.”
Xingyang Daoshi shook his head and smiled, “It’s been a few years since we’ve seen each other, Old Lei, you haven’t changed a bit.”
Lei Yun smiled, looked at Chujiu in front of him and said, “Is this a newly recruited disciple?”
“Yes, his name is Chujiu, he’s sixteen this year.”
Although Xingyang Daoshi’s words were simple, there was a hint of joy in his tone, and his eyes were filled with unconcealed pride.
Hearing his master say this, Chujiu quickly stepped forward, cupped his hands and saluted, obediently saying, “Shopkeeper Lei.”
Lei Yun held his chin and circled around Chujiu, saying, “Not bad, not bad.”
“You may dispense with the formalities.”
He turned to Xingyang Daoshi and said, “Excellent aptitude.”
Xingyang Daoshi stroked his beard and smiled proudly.
At the end of the village, in the great-grandfather’s house, a group of people were drinking happily in the main room. The Daoshi was surrounded by the villagers, all gratefully saying, “Thank you, Daoshi, you are truly a divine being.”
The great-grandfather, who had just had the ritual performed, was now lying on the **bed**, watching his six-year-old grandson play with toys.
The two chatted nonsensically, and after an unknown amount of time, the little grandson suddenly realized that his great-grandfather was ignoring him, and he hurriedly said, “Great-grandfather, great-grandfather, look at this.” The little grandson said as he fiddled with the toy in his hand.
Seeing that there was no response, he looked up.
A shrill scream filled the entire village.
At this time, Lei Yun and the others, who were busy reminiscing, were also attracted by the commotion. They saw Xingyang Daoshi flick his horsetail whisk and angrily said, “Evil spirit!”
Then, he strode towards the end of the village.
Lei Yun and Chujiu hurriedly followed behind him.
Hu Lanlan was also attracted by the sound, but she was afraid of Xingyang Daoshi’s aura. At this time, she was pacing anxiously in the house, cursing Lei Yun in her mouth.
When passing by Wang Xiaohui’s house, Xingyang Daoshi was obviously stunned for a moment.
Lei Yun explained, “Inside is a fox spirit friend, she came to Liujia Village with me this time.”
Seeing Lei Yun explain like this, Xingyang Daoshi did not say anything and leisurely walked towards the great-grandfather’s house.
In the spacious courtyard, a group of people were holding tools and facing a strange old man, who was the great-grandfather Wang Xiaohui mentioned.
The Daoshi, who was initially praised by everyone as a divine being, had already fallen to the ground, blood flowing from under his neck.
“Great-grandfather, wake up, I’m Shuanzi.” A villager tried to awaken the great-grandfather, who was already delirious.
But he still couldn’t stop the great-grandfather’s attack.
When Lei Yun and the others arrived, the great-grandfather was rampaging in the yard.
“This isn’t a person anymore, right?” Lei Yun murmured.
Xingyang Daoshi’s expression was stern, and he angrily said, “Chujiu, take out the cinnabar red thread.”
Chujiu was very fast, and immediately took out the red thread and handed it to his master Xingyang Daoshi. The two of them, each holding one end, attacked the great-grandfather.
“Chujiu, do as I taught you.”
This was the first time Chujiu had gone down the mountain with Xingyang Daoshi. Although he was talented, he was still young, and his skills were only average.
Those villagers who were originally chased by the great-grandfather suddenly saw Xingyang Daoshi arrive, as if they had seen a god.
Originally, from afar, they only thought the great-grandfather was a bit ferocious, but when Chujiu saw him up close, he was shocked. How did this person turn yellow? The person’s skin and hair had all turned earthy yellow, a pair of red eyes stared at everyone like a bloodthirsty beast, and two sharp teeth had grown out of his mouth.
Chujiu then understood the sentence Lei Yun had just murmured, this was no longer a person.
Xingyang Daoshi had cultivated for many years, and even though Chujiu’s skills were not smooth, the great-grandfather was still entangled by him with the red thread.
He took out a talisman from his waist and pasted it all over the great-grandfather’s body, then carried him behind the door and placed him there.
The villagers, who had been frightened, rushed over.
Wang Xiaohui’s father was the first to speak, “Daoshi, what happened to my great-grandfather?”
Xingyang Daoshi’s expression was heavy, “He has already turned into a zombie, but he has been possessed by evil spirits.”
He looked at the mess on the ground and the several people who had been bitten, and said, “Their wounds must be treated quickly, go apply glutinous rice to them.” He then said to Chujiu, “Ajiu, go get some heart-clearing talismans, burn them into ashes, and mix them in water for them to drink.”
Seeing that Xingyang Daoshi had easily captured the great-grandfather, the villagers followed his instructions.
However, Xingyang Daoshi’s expression was heavy. He walked up to Lei Yun and said, “What exactly did you find in Liujia Village?”
Lei Yun glanced to the side, took him to a corner, and said in a low voice, “Yin Jade.”
These two short words caused Xingyang Daoshi to feel as if he was facing a great enemy, and his whole body turned cold.
