Seeing that those ghosts were about to catch up, I could already hear their low roars.

In desperation, I took out the glutinous rice that Daochang Chen gave me and held it in my hand. I turned around and shouted to the chasing group: "If you dare to continue coming here! I won't be polite!"

There is no way to escape anyway, so we can only take a gamble.

As I said that, I raised my hand and sprinkled a lot of glutinous rice on the corpses in the front row.

In an instant, their screams came one after another.

Those glutinous rice seemed to burn them, which made me happy.

The other ghosts began to hesitate when they saw this, obviously frightened.

They were scared! I immediately straightened up and shouted, "You saw it! This is what will happen if you come near me again. Anyone who knows how to do it, get away from me!"

Those things were obviously unwilling to give up, but they did not dare to approach me and could only howl two meters away from me.

In fact, I don't have much glutinous rice with me, so it's impossible to deal with this large group of ghosts. But fortunately, these people don't seem to have strong thinking ability, so they were frightened by what I said.

I glanced around and found that I was almost near the willow tree.

According to what Daochang Chen said before, there is a lot of evil around the willow tree. If I take these things there, then these glutinous rice and garlic will be useless...

I thought about this for a while, and a solution appeared in my mind.

The group of corpses were still hesitating, so I turned around, threw glutinous rice behind me, and ran to the other side of the willow tree.

When they saw that I was about to run away, they immediately started to move with all their teeth and claws, and the low growls in their mouths seemed to be shouting.

But I could see with my peripheral vision that none of them dared to step on the glutinous rice I scattered. They only dared to chase me aside.

After all, I was still a little exhausted. Their screams were getting louder and louder, and they were getting closer. I didn't dare to look back, so I could only keep running.

I didn’t know how long I had been running, but I felt that my throat had started to taste like blood.

Finally! I saw the glutinous rice that I had dropped in the first place again, and felt at ease.

I deviated my steps and stepped to the side closer to the willow tree.

At this time, I had used glutinous rice to draw a circle around the willow tree, but they could only be trapped outside the circle.

"Haha! You bunch of ghosts, come in and try again!" I was so tired that I collapsed on the ground and shouted while panting.

Sure enough, they didn't dare to step forward and could only stare from the side.

Now we finally deal with these little minions!

When I walked to the willow tree, I could hardly stand. After running for so long, my physical strength was at its lowest.

I followed what Master Chen said, first took out the incense and paper money and burned them for a while, and silently recited several times in my mind: "I'm offended, I'm offended. I'm here to save you. Don't blame me."

Then he took out a few talisman papers he gave me and pasted them on the four directions of the willow tree.

After everything was packed up, I picked up the shovel and started digging the grave that had already been dug.

As soon as the shovel went down, I felt something strange.

The smell of blood and rot almost made me vomit. The color of the soil was also dark red, as if it had been dyed by blood.

How many people here would become like this...

I didn't have time to think too much, and endured the vomiting sensation caused by the stench, I continued to dig deeper.

The bones that were dug up at the beginning were all still fresh, but the further down they went, the more they rotted and smelled. Some were half rotten, with the thigh bones exposed, and there were maggots crawling on the flesh.

I was almost brought to tears by these corpses, so I had to stop and rest for a while, and I couldn't help but complain: "Master Chen, how can there be human pupae..."

Suddenly, I noticed that there seemed to be a bunch of orange hair not far away.

This reminds me of that woman.

Thinking about what Director Chen told me, that woman was very resentful and might attract pupae, so I walked over quickly.

The bodies that are about to decay are soft to the touch, and pus will ooze out when touched.

I endured this disgusting feeling and pulled away the body next to the woman, and that familiar face appeared in front of me.

Just like in her original memory, she died beyond recognition. Her face was so pitted that no facial features could be seen. Coupled with the corrosion caused by being buried in the soil for the past few days, maggots had begun to grow on her face.

What is creepy is that her deformed mouth is now grinning, revealing teeth that have begun to become sharp.

The night the village chief's wife died, it was indeed her I saw!

Before I could scream, her head suddenly tilted, and an eyeball popped out of one of the still intact eye sockets.

In an instant, I didn't even see how she raised her hand, and she had already grabbed my neck.

I struggled hard and tried to pry her hand away.

I could even feel myself peeling off a piece of flesh from her almost rotting hand, but she remained unmoved at all, and even strengthened her hand even more.

asphyxia.

It's over.

I'm going to die here today.

The fear was amplified by the feeling of suffocation. I felt that my eyes were going black and I was about to lose my breath.

Suddenly, something in my arms started to glow.

The moment the light appeared, the female ghost let out a strange cry as if she had been burned, and immediately let go of me.

Air!

I'm saved!

I breathed in the air greedily. This feeling of escaping death made me feel that breathing was a very happy thing.

The place that glowed just now was the charm given to me by Master Chen.

Thank you, Daochang Chen. I really shouldn’t have said you were cheating before. This spell of yours is really useful!

I silently thanked Daozhang Chen in my heart. I came back to my senses and took a closer look. The female ghost in front of me had disappeared, leaving a hole big enough to accommodate a person where she was before.

"Huh? What is that?" You can see from a distance that there seems to be something shining in the pit.

Holding the charm that saved my life just now, I walked to the pit, and there was indeed something like a wooden sculpture hanging in the middle of the pit.

I reached out and got it just right.

The thing was not big, it was made of wood, and the carving was very rough. It only roughly resembled a human figure, and it was densely engraved with blood-red lines.

It was these lines that were glowing just now.

This must be a human chrysalis!

But I found it, and dad was saved! I can finally leave this hellish place!

After sweeping away the fear in my heart, I excitedly put the human chrysalis into my arms and started to climb up.

I don’t know if it was because I had already taken away the human pupa, but going back was much smoother than when I came. There were no ghosts hitting the walls, and there were no groups of corpses along the way. I went down the mountain in a short while.

Director Chen and I agreed to meet at the village chief's house. He was obviously surprised to see me back.

"Daozhang Chen! I brought the human chrysalis back. Please save my dad!" I took the human chrysalis that I had carefully carried in my arms along the way to Daozhang Chen. It no longer glowed.
Chapter completed!
