Chapter 137: Who is the Most Beautiful?
This is a big problem.
A'Gou can't tell the truth, so these three Ghost Masters can easily say that A'Gou deliberately caused trouble at the River God's wedding.
And he will also be accused of causing trouble at the River God's wedding.
Sure enough, after dealing with A'Gou, the three Ghost Masters looked at Su Chen with malice.
It was all this bastard's fault, ruining his good fortune.
Just as they were about to act, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Don't believe them, they are liars!"
The crowd looked towards the source of the voice and saw a woman full of resentment appearing at the back of the crowd.
It was Huo Mei!
Huo Mei had not actually run away.
"Shame on you, Huo Mei! How dare you run away, everyone catch this audacious woman who dares to blaspheme the gods!" One of the Ghost Masters pointed at Huo Mei with an iron staff and yelled angrily.
The Big Landlord was also slightly stunned; she had already let Huo Mei escape, but why had Huo Mei come back?
"Auntie, I have something to say!" Huo Mei, however, was not the least bit afraid.
"Stop!" The Big Landlord yelled, stopping everyone.
The villagers stopped, and it was clear that the Big Landlord still commanded great respect.
After all, besides the position of Big Landlord, she was also a doctor who treated people without charging, and almost every family had benefited from her aid.
"How dare you defy the Great Yin Master?" The three Ghost Masters looked at the Big Landlord with dark expressions.
The villagers were about to take action again, but the Big Landlord stood in front of Huo Mei.
She said calmly, "Why not let Huo Mei finish what she has to say before acting?"
After what happened last night, the Big Landlord also developed doubts about the Ghost Masters.
And now, with the incident involving A'Gou today.
Although A'Gou didn't utter a single word, it was clear from the way A'Gou looked at the three Ghost Masters.
A'Gou actually recognized the Ghost Masters.
Normally, upon seeing the Ghost Masters, A'Gou's expression should have been one of respect and fear.
But when the Ghost Masters grabbed his neck, anger and frustration were evident in A'Gou's eyes.
Could it be that there are other mysteries here?
"Exactly, let Huo Mei finish her words," the villagers also said.
This time, Su Chen was smart.
Slowly, he moved closer to Huo Mei.
He wouldn't let what happened to A'Gou happen again.
Huo Mei glared at the three Ghost Masters with resentful eyes and said, "You didn't expect that I would come back, did you?"
"How dare you! Who allowed you to speak to the Ghost Masters that way?" one of the Ghost Masters snapped angrily.
"Hmph, Ghost Masters? I think you're more like beasts!" Huo Mei retorted coldly.
Everyone's expression changed drastically.
Nobody expected Huo Mei to dare insult the Ghost Masters.
"Everything you said last night at the River God Temple, I heard it all. Want me to reveal it so everyone can hear too?" The fury was evident on Huo Mei's face.
All three Ghost Masters' expressions changed dramatically, believing Huo Mei to have been unconscious last night, not realizing she had overheard them.
"Hmph, you think by spouting nonsense and framing us, everyone will believe you?" sneered one of the Ghost Masters, regaining composure.
They had said a lot last night, and as long as those few damning words were not heard, they could completely turn the situation around with the villagers' faith in them.
They could even throw Huo Mei back into the river again.
Huo Mei sneered and said, "Whether I'm talking nonsense, everyone will know if we go to the Yin God Temple at the mountain top."
Upon hearing Huo Mei's words, the three Ghost Masters' complexions changed once again.
Then, without any hesitation, they turned and ran.
If the secret of the Yin God Temple were leaked, then their doom would be certain.
The Big Landlord's beautiful eyes sharpened, after what happened last night, she had already harbored the intention to kill the three Ghost Masters.
If she could really prove that these three Ghost Masters were deceivers, she would certainly kill them.
Without hesitation, she pursued them.
"Honey, I'm going to take a look too!" Su Chen called out to Lin Xi as he followed in pursuit.
The Yin God Temple was specifically for the worship of the Yin God.
Built at the highest point of the mountain.
Normally, no one would go there.
Only during the annual ceremony of the Yin God Festival would the villagers gather at the Yin God Temple to pray for blessings from the Yin God.
The three Ghost Masters were fast, but of course, they couldn't outpace the Big Landlord.
But the Big Landlord didn't chase too closely on purpose.
After all, these three Ghost Masters might be carrying firearms.
With her strength, she wasn't yet tough enough to withstand firearms.
Anyway, she also knew the location of the Yin God Temple.
As the three Ghost Masters ran wildly, they looked back and, seeing no one behind them, breathed a sigh of relief.
But they dared not slow their pace.
After all, it was a mountain road and an upward climb; it took the three Ghost Masters half an hour to reach the Yin God Temple. This vеrsiоn is sоurсеd frоm МV3L3МРYR.
"Master, trouble!" The three Ghost Masters hurried into the Yin God Temple.
"What's all the fuss about?" A lazy voice rang out in the Yin God Temple.
A fat man with a small mustache was seen embracing a woman.
On the necks of the two women were chains, which directly connected them to a pillar.
Deep indentations on their necks showed they had been chained for a long time.
The mustached man looked impatiently at the three Ghost Masters and said, "Didn't I tell you, don't come up here unless it's necessary!"
The mustached man's Mandarin was a bit awkward, sounding not like a Huaxia person.
Rather, it resembled the accent of a Dongyin person.
"Master, something serious has happened, someone knows the secret of the Yin God Temple," said one of the Ghost Masters, gasping for breath.
The mustached man frowned slightly, "What exactly happened?"
"We caught a top-quality beauty from the village last night, originally planning to present her to you, but…"
The Ghost Master naturally didn't dare to say they took advantage of the Great Yin Master's name to make some extra money and didn't expect the conversation to be overheard.
The mustached man's complexion darkened slightly, "Useless fools, you can't even handle such a small matter."
After speaking, he kicked the woman who was kneeling before him and then stood up.
It didn't matter to him if someone knew, as long as they were not caught on the spot.
And even if they were caught, he wasn't afraid.
As the mustached man dressed, he said to the three Ghost Masters, "Dispose of these two women, and remember, leave no trace."
Upon hearing the mustached man's words, the two women shook violently and pleaded on their knees, "Please don't, let us go!"
They naturally knew what 'dispose' meant.
For they had witnessed with their own eyes how the Ghost Masters disposed of other women when they were brought here.
To 'dispose' meant to kill them, then throw them into the mountains to feed the wolves.
"You could have lived a bit longer, alas, it's a shame you were discovered," the mustached man said with some regret.
After all, these two women were the most beautiful women chosen from the village by the Ghost Masters.
Of course, the mustached man would think this way because he had never visited the village himself.
Otherwise, he would know that these two women were actually just above average in the village.
But there was no helping it, as the Great Yin Master, he had to maintain an air of mystery and couldn't show his face casually.
"Oh, by the way, next time, I want the Big Landlord. I've heard the Big Landlord is the most beautiful woman in your village," suddenly, a greedy look appeared on the mustached man's face as he spoke to the three Ghost Masters.
