"Who told you to use the talisman to suppress my daughter? Who gave you the right to do this? Even if my daughter has become a fierce ghost, it's not for you lowly people to bully!"
"My child!" Princess Pingyang let out a shrill scream and rushed forward. Without hesitation, she tore off the talisman on the coffin. She tenderly stroked the coffin that had fallen on its side, tears streaming down her face like rain. "Are you here to find Mother? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Mother's here!"
When the Taoist priest saw that the talisman he had pasted was easily removed by Princess Pingyang, his face immediately changed drastically. He immediately shouted, "It's bad!"
At this moment, the originally cloudless sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds, and thunder rumbled, as if it was about to rain heavily soon.
The Taoist priest stared at Zheng Yan's coffin, his body trembling violently, shaking like a sieve. His mouth opened and closed, mumbling something.
At the same time, everyone stopped in their tracks. It was as if their feet were caught by something, and they couldn't move.
Seeing this situation, everyone became even more afraid. They didn't even dare to cry out or breathe loudly. They stared directly at the Taoist priest.
Marquis Gaochang and Princess Pingyang also stopped sobbing. They stared blankly at the Taoist priest's opening and closing mouth. The words he said gradually became clear, and after they finally heard what he said, everyone's faces changed!
"Give me back my life! Give me back my life!"
"Yan, Yan'er?" Princess Pingyang was standing closer to the Taoist priest. Hearing this, she was immediately stunned on the spot.
The Taoist priest, with a stiff face like a corpse, suddenly shifted his dull gaze and stopped on Princess Pingyang. Before the princess could react, she saw the Taoist priest suddenly pounce on her and knock her to the ground.
Princess Pingyang wasn't on guard. The back of her head hit the nanmu coffin hard, and she fainted on the spot.
But the Taoist priest obviously wasn't going to let Princess Pingyang go. He stepped forward aggressively, expressionless, except that his eyes were full of ferocity and killing intent.
His hands tightly grabbed Princess Pingyang's neck, and he still shouted, "Give me back my life! Give me back my life!"
In the daze of the crowd, someone suddenly shouted loudly, "Could this be the legendary revival through a corpse and a fierce ghost seeking revenge?!"
Bai Zheng immediately cast her gaze in the direction of the voice. However, the crowd where that person was located was too dense, and his speech was extremely fast. In just a glance, the voice faded away, and it was impossible to tell who had said that.
But as soon as that sentence came out, the atmosphere of fear in the courtyard reached a climax all of a sudden.
If everyone hadn't reacted to what was going on before, the appearance of that sentence was simply an eye - opener -
Zheng Yan in the coffin had revived through a corpse and turned into a fierce ghost to seek their lives!
The scene became even more chaotic.
At this moment, Marquis Gaochang finally realized the seriousness of the situation. He quickly stepped forward. In order to save his wife, he instinctively wanted to strike the Taoist priest with a hand - chop.
But before Marquis Gaochang's palm could touch the back of the Taoist priest's neck, his whole body seemed to be acupunctured and he stopped in place.
Revival through a corpse.
The person in front of him might be his Yan'er returning through the Taoist priest's body.
That was his daughter!
"Yan, Yan'er, this is your mother. Let go quickly," Marquis Gaochang said with red - rimmed eyes and trembling lips.
But the Taoist priest seemed not to hear. He even exerted more force with his hands. Princess Pingyang, who had fainted before, suddenly woke up because of severe lack of oxygen.
Her face was purple and blue from suffocation. She tried to break the Taoist priest's hands that were grabbing her neck, but it was in vain.
Bai Yinan, not far away, was also extremely frightened. He quickly grabbed Bai Zheng and said, "Zheng'er, let's go quickly!"
Bai Zheng's face tightened. She dropped a sentence, "Father, follow the crowd and protect yourself," then broke free from Bai Yinan's hand and ran towards Princess Pingyang.
At this time, Marquis Gaochang really couldn't bear to strike at his "daughter" who had finally returned. So he had to settle for the next best thing and tried to break the hands that were grabbing Princess Pingyang's neck.
But this Taoist priest, who looked thin, had extremely great strength. Even though Marquis Gaochang was a military general, he couldn't even move one of his fingers.
Princess Pingyang's lips were getting paler and paler. Her hands gradually lost strength and slipped down from both sides. Through her tear - blurred eyes, she looked at the ferocious - faced Taoist priest in front of her. She tried to open her mouth to say something, but she couldn't say a word.
Vaguely, she seemed to hear someone calling her name, but she didn't even have the strength to respond.
Her vision was getting darker and darker. Her brain went blank for a short time due to lack of oxygen for too long.
"Yan'er, if you're afraid alone and want Mother to accompany you, Mother will come and accompany you," Princess Pingyang gave up struggling, and a faint, relieved smile appeared on her face.
Just then, a fresh stream of air suddenly rushed into her nasal cavity and mouth. The instinct of survival made her open her mouth wide and breathe hard.
And the Taoist priest who had been tightly grabbing her gradually fell down in Marquis Gaochang's dazed gaze.
"Yan'er?" Marquis Gaochang subconsciously wanted to reach out to support the Taoist priest.
But Bai Zheng threw away the bloody stone in her hand and quickly walked in front of Princess Pingyang to pat her on the back.
"Marquis Gaochang, don't hurt the living for the dead," Bai Zheng frowned and said sharply when she saw Marquis Gaochang still standing there at a loss.
Marquis Gaochang turned around when he heard the voice. Only then did he realize that Princess Pingyang had just escaped death. He quickly stepped forward to take the princess from Bai Zheng's hands and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Princess Pingyang took a long time to recover before she finally had the strength to speak. But because her neck was seriously injured, her voice was very hoarse and hard to hear clearly. One could only vaguely tell that she was saying, "Go and see Yan'er."
"If you want to see Miss Zheng in the coffin, Miss Zheng has already been buried and taken out of the house. It's inauspicious to open the coffin again. But if you want to see this so - called Taoist priest possessed by Miss Zheng, there's no need at all," Bai Zheng replied coldly.
Princess Pingyang looked up and stared blankly at Bai Zheng together with Marquis Gaochang.
Bai Zheng curled her lips and coldly looked at the Taoist priest on the ground who had been knocked unconscious by the stone. "Playing tricks! When has Miss Zheng ever had the heart to harm others?"
"Miss Bai is wrong," a Taoist priest in a gray robe with white beard and hair walked over from not far away. When his vicissitudinous eyes saw Zheng Yan's coffin, a look of regret flashed in them. He sighed, stepped forward to support the fainting young Taoist priest, and said,
"Miss Zheng died too miserably. Her resentment has lingered for a long time. If we don't exorcise the evil and suppress it in time, there may be endless troubles."
"Exorcise the evil and suppress it?" Marquis Gaochang was greatly shocked.
Hearing this, Princess Pingyang was so anxious that she couldn't catch her breath. She coughed violently, but still managed to say intermittently, "Nonsense! My child has been kind - hearted since childhood. Even if she becomes a ghost, she will never become a fierce ghost to harm others.
You old Taoist are talking nonsense. Someone, beat him out of my Marquis Gaochang's mansion with sticks!"
