Mysterious Séancer: My Doll Can Really Show Its Power

Clang!

The palace door, which Naolin had just pushed open, slammed shut.

Naolin turned around in astonishment, then hurriedly kowtowed to the centipede-faced figure, saying, "Great Immortal!"

"I, and the rest of the villagers, are still behind us!"

Hearing Naolin's words, the centipede with the human face became extremely furious, but before it could say anything, *bang!*

The palace doors were violently smashed open from the outside!

Another villager from Qianzhi Village, with all four limbs severed, burst in, crying, "Great Immortal, save me! Save me!"

At this moment, the centipede-faced figure in the center of the hall, both shocked and enraged, roared hoarsely at the doorway, "How many people are still alive in your village?!"

Naolin, his face contorted with pain and still shaken, said, "There are... there are still thirty-nine people left in our village!"

The centipede roared, "Make them crawl faster!"

"well!"

Naolin said with a pained expression, "Many... many have probably died on the way..."

Next, one by one, the barely surviving villagers of Qianzhi Village crawled into the main hall, and each villager who entered breathed a long sigh of relief!

It was as if they had regained their vitality!

......

"Did you see that giant centipede with a human face?"

"The purpose of our Baiyun Temple, and the Qingyun Temple across the street, is to prevent that thing from going down the mountain and harming others."

Behind a headless Arhat statue crawling with ghostly poisons, the two hid in the shadows. Li Bai pointed to the main hall at their feet and said to Cao Mingliang, "This dilapidated temple was a Buddhist temple in ancient times. Later, it fell into disrepair and was taken over by that thing, becoming a Yin Immortal Temple."

"The so-called Yin Immortal refers to the Yin Great Immortal, which is the centipede with a human face."

Cao Mingliang stared at the human-faced centipede, or more precisely, at the human hands and feet on either side of its body.

He could tell that the hands and feet were small and had obviously been taken from human children!

Lowering his voice, Cao Mingliang said angrily, "Did you see the human hands and feet on it? Since you were guarding this place, why, why was it still able to harm so many children?!"

Li Bai glanced at Cao Mingliang with displeasure. "I've already said it, our purpose is to prevent that thing from coming down the mountain."

"Those children whose hands and feet were cut off were offered up by the villagers of Chizuka Village below during their village festival. We can't control those villagers, and besides..."

At this point, Li Bai lowered his voice slightly, "If we cut off the offerings to Yin Daxian, he will fight us to the death."

Looking at Li Bai at this moment, Cao Mingliang suddenly thought of his cowardly colleagues in the Special Administration Bureau.

At this moment, Li Bai said again, "I am not afraid of death, but I cannot die. I have more important things to do."

Cao Mingliang didn't say anything, but changed the subject and asked, "What about the police? Why weren't you notified?"

Li Bai, rubbing his forehead and somewhat speechless, said, "How do you know we didn't notify the police?"

"Have you forgotten that you can't find the way up the mountain at all? That mountain path is a burial ground for corpses; it's filled with malevolent energy and moves on its own!"

"And the village's name is Chizuo Village, Chizuo! Chizuo Village!"

"At its peak, this village had nearly a thousand people, but now there are only about thirty left. This is thanks to the police's numerous raids down the mountain!"

"They've almost wiped out this village!"

"Anyone with even a little evidence has been sent in jail to be punished, and the rest are those for whom there's simply no evidence, and besides..."

Li Bai said with a complicated expression, "Even the police have come to investigate this temple. I brought them up here, but the temple door can only be opened by the villagers of Qianzhi Village on the day of the village festival. At other times, the temple door is as if it has been welded shut."

"I only managed to bring people up here once. After that, the police couldn't find the way up the mountain."

As the two were talking, more than a dozen villagers from Qianzhi Village ran into the main hall!

Naolin crawled up to the last villager who came in and asked, "Are there any more of our people behind us?!"

Before the man could speak, a hideous ghost head staggered into the palace.

"close the door!"

The metallic scraping sound from the centipede's mouth rang out again, clang!

The palace doors slammed shut!

Incidentally, he also sent the first vengeful ghost that tried to step into the palace gate flying!

As the palace doors closed, the villagers of Qianzhi Village inside the hall beamed with joy, shouting, "They're alive! They're alive!"

"We survived!"

"I knew the sage would protect us, hahaha!"

"We're safe!"

Naolin exclaimed with elation, "Yes, yes! This palace gate, apart from the people of our village, no one else can open it! Hahaha!"

Seeing the joyful expressions on the faces of the people from Qianzhi Village, Cao Mingliang clenched his fists and looked towards the palace gate, asking, "Besides the people from Qianzhi Village, can't anyone else open the palace gate?"

At that moment, a question arose in Cao Mingliang's mind: Could that person open it?!

He can definitely do it... No!

He can definitely do it!

Li Bai, standing beside him, nodded and said, "That's right. The palace gate is connected to the feng shui veins of the mountain. Forcibly breaking down the gate would cause the entire mountain to collapse, affecting many surrounding villages and towns! It might even impact Jingping city!"

"When the police searched the temple before, they couldn't open the door, so they considered blowing it up. Fortunately, the old Taoist priest of Qingyun Temple stopped them, otherwise it would have been a tragedy!"

"Actually, the landslide is secondary; the main problem is that the human-faced centipede might take the opportunity to escape and harm even more people in another place! By then, it will be too late to catch it!"

Hearing Li Bai say this, Cao Mingliang suddenly felt discouraged again.

If forcing the door down isn't an option, then...

Even if it were that person, he probably wouldn't open that door.

At this moment, Cao Mingliang even hoped that Yang Ning wasn't such a person with no bottom line.

But when he thought about the consequences of the landslide, he shook his head helplessly.

Bang, bang, bang—

Outside the main hall, a series of violent knocking sounds rang out, and through the doors and windows, one could see the figures of fierce ghosts swaying and wandering outside the hall!

However, no matter how much the vengeful ghosts pounded on the door, the hall doors remained firmly shut!

Gradually, more and more fierce ghosts gathered outside the palace gate, and the knocking on the door became more and more intense!

At the same time, Cao Mingliang noticed that although the palace door showed no signs of breaking down, the centipede with a human face inside the palace was becoming increasingly agitated!

It crawled swiftly through the hall with dense human hands and feet on both sides of its body, even passing right in front of Cao Mingliang and Li Bai!

But the black Taoist robe that Li Bai gave me was really effective, and it kept the centipede from noticing me!

Observing the human-faced centipede up close, watching the tiny, soft human hands and feet crawl past him, Cao Mingliang's eyes burned with rage!

As soon as the centipede with a human face crawled away, he immediately pointed to the doorway, which was filled with lurking ghosts, and said, "The people outside can't open that temple door. What if I go and open it from the inside?"

Li Bai was slightly startled. He hurriedly said, "No! You'll die! This black Taoist robe will be useless once it's exposed to sunlight!"

"If you die here, your body will rot immediately and be devoured by that Yin Immortal. Even that person outside won't be able to save you then!"

Cao Mingliang simply smiled slightly, "Just tell me, if I rush over, can I open that door?"

"As for whether he lives or dies..."

He hesitated for a moment, then said firmly, "I should have died long ago. Every day I'm alive now is a bonus."

Li Bai, who had never given Cao Mingliang a friendly look since they met, finally looked at him seriously this time and said, "If you really rush over and open the palace door from the inside, it can be opened."

Cao Mingliang took a deep breath after hearing this.

He turned around and quietly moved towards the palace gate.

Inside the hall, the people of Chizuka Village were enjoying the joy of surviving a calamity.

Outside the hall, Yang Ning, who had been at the very end of the procession, had just arrived.

Looking at the tightly closed doors of the main hall, he smiled for a moment, then teased the little turtle in his arms. He said with a smile, "Well, since I came down from the mountain this time, I've finally encountered a problem that's a little bit challenging."

"But it's only a little bit..."
