Chapter 274: Sacrificial Girl (31)
Chapter 274: Sacrificial Girl (31)
In addition to delivering meals on time, Lin Hewei always goes out early and comes back late. Shen Zhaowan has gotten used to it. Moreover, after all, his body is still with her, so she is open-minded and thinks that Lin Hewei is still by her side.
She also admired herself. When Lin Hewei came back at night, he told her that they wanted to lie in the coffin together, saying that they wanted to get to know each other well and cultivate their feelings.
"I feel like this sometimes. I feel like I'm still alive." Lin Hewei's ghost gradually faded and overlapped with his body and said these words.
Shen Zhaowan felt a pain in her heart and compromised.
She complained in her heart, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to adapt in advance.
The night passed peacefully!
Lin Hewei left again in the morning...
He looked at the patriarch whose face turned blue due to the noise made by everyone in the yard and chuckled.
When the people whose lives were at stake stood in the yard, their concern for themselves had already surpassed their awe of the patriarch.
At one point, the villagers who lost their loved ones even blamed the clan leader.
However, the long-standing fear still makes them dare not speak out.
The patriarch sitting at the top swept his old and shrewd eyes over everyone, making them feel frightened.
"Why, you all want to cause trouble? You want to accuse me?"
The tribe leader's voice was resounding, and at this moment it was as if his body had recovered. The people below all hung their heads, not daring to say anything more. Many of them had already begun to regret coming back.
"You're not talking? Weren't you quite talkative just now? If you feel that what I did is not satisfactory to you, I don't want to be the clan leader. You can recommend someone by yourselves. I don't care."
The patriarch became more and more depressed as he spoke, as if he was heartbroken.
This move of retreating to advance made the people below extremely nervous, and many of them immediately stepped forward to stop it.
Come to think of it, everything seemed to have been handled perfectly before.
"You are too serious, Patriarch. That is not what we meant."
"Yes, Chief, we were just anxious and said the wrong thing. Please forgive us and don't take it personally."
The people who came here with such aggressive momentum are now starting to be humble and beg for mercy.
They knew in their hearts that they still had to rely more on the clan leader. After all, they couldn't go out now, nor could they live safely outside. Only the clan leader could make the medicine that could lift the curse in a short period of time.
Seeing that the patriarch was unmoved and seemed still angry, many people knelt down on their own initiative.
A large number of villagers were trying to keep the chieftain. After waiting for a long time, the chieftain, who had always been expressionless, finally sighed and seemed to soften his heart: "Get up."
"I know that everyone is like this because so many things have happened recently and they are too worried."
"However, I am old after all, and I don't know how long I can live, so I will teach Li Erya well in the future."
There was some hidden meaning in his words, but no one thought too deeply about it. They were already surprised that the patriarch had abandoned them.
"Everyone listens to the patriarch."
Li Erya, who was standing beside the clan leader, was still young after all. After hearing this, she couldn't hide her surprise and joy on her face.
She took the initiative to reach out and support the clan leader, looking very proud, as if she was the one being respected below.
Lin Hewei watched all this quietly, as if he was watching a play, which made him want to bring Shen Zhaowan over to have a good look.
……
Looking at the housekeeper who had come back to join in the fun, Zhao Lan keenly felt that something was wrong.
"Mother-in-law, how do you feel?" She asked in a low voice, clutching the talisman on her body.
The housekeeper came to her senses and waved her hand. She felt that today's events were not that simple.
"It's okay, it's just that the clan leader wants to select the next clan leader." The housekeeper only expressed her guess and didn't say anything else.
After these words were spoken, Zhao Lan's mind became active.
After the housekeeper sat down, she recalled the patriarch's pale face. Did the patriarch know that he didn't have much time left?
The two of them sat together with heavy thoughts in their minds and did not continue chatting.
After a long time, Zhao Lan suddenly suggested tentatively: "Mother-in-law, so many things have happened, the clan leader must be very busy for a while, should we go to help?"
The housekeeper's eyes wrinkled with smile. After thinking it over carefully, she felt that it was a good idea. She looked at Zhao Lan with admiration.
At this time, the clan leader's house was silent. After everyone left, the clan leader asked Li Erya to continue practicing what she taught. After saying a few words, she went to the inner room.
No one knew what the patriarch was doing, and Li Erya naively thought that the patriarch might be tired and wanted to rest for a while.
The clan leader in the inner room was currently setting up a formation that she needed. She had already memorized this formation by heart, and it was something she thought she could always rely on.
It’s just that it was always done in the ancestral hall before, but now that there are no ancestors to take charge, she can only do it here.
This is a secret technique called the Soul-Snatching Formation!
All she had to do was to seize Li Erya's young body so that she could remain immortal in this way for a long time.
She couldn't hold on in this body anymore.
Li Erya is a descendant of the Li family, and this is the most suitable one she chose for herself.
She didn't have time to choose carefully now. As long as she could succeed first, everything would be easy afterwards. Now, this was her top priority.
She is now too busy and has no energy to make stronger talismans for the villagers. They can only blame themselves for what happened!
After setting up the soul-stealing formation, the clan leader reinforced it with a circle of ghost-exorcising formation. Combined with the original formation of the house, she didn't believe that this would not be able to stop that person!
It is so important, no one can destroy or interfere!
The patriarch looked at it again and again, and only felt relieved after he was sure that there was no problem.
She calculated the time and decided to start at noon.
Soon, the gate of the clan leader's house was tightly closed, and Li Erya was ordered by the clan leader to lie on a couch. She had no doubts and thought that this was a way for the clan leader to use her.
And gradually, she lost her clarity of mind and felt that her brain was unable to think.
"Erya, don't worry. What I'm going to give you later is more important. You should take a rest first."
Li Erya responded with the last bit of strength she had: "Okay, clan leader."
Soon, the person above was lying motionless.
The clan leader took the incense mixed with her blood and circled it in front of Li Erya's face three times. Then, he inserted it into the incense burner placed not far above her head.
Blood was dripped, the formation began, and the clan leader also lay on a couch next to Li Erya.
The soul is trembling...
After an unknown amount of time, Li Erya was the first to open her eyes.
Her eyes sparkled with excitement. She raised her hand and looked at it carefully, with a satisfied smile on her lips.
Then, she tilted her head to look at the body that she was most familiar with, which was lying peacefully at this moment, with no signs of waking up.
As if she felt the soul trembling deep in her body, she stood up and pressed a few points on each of its acupuncture points.
At this time, the soul-stealing formation on the ground dissipated.
The fight for souls was successful.
So far, it feels so good to be young again.
The clan leader, Li Erya, knows that it will take time for the body and soul to become more compatible.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the gate.
The voices of the housekeeper and Zhao Lan were heard outside.
