Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

Aunt Miao shook her head decisively and continued, "No! In my memory, there has never been an earthquake in Dashan Village. No, from the moment the villagers settled there, there has never been a natural disaster."

This was something that had come up completely by chance when Aunt Miao talked with the elders in the village before.

Chi Shuyan could also see the answer from Aunt Miao's face.

Aunt Miao paused. Recalling what happened back then, Aunt Miao couldn't help but look a little dazed. "As for what happened in the village after that, there were too many things!"

Seeing that the others were looking at her intently, Aunt Miao didn't hide anything at all. She continued, "Later, everyone thought that the Buddha manifested for the Xu family, and that the Xu mother and son had left the village and were living very well. So, a few families in the village really couldn't help but believe, and they would go to the temple to devoutly worship the Buddha. On the surface, the Buddha manifested and granted everyone's wishes, but I actually knew that these families who worshiped the Buddha didn't have a good ending at all, just like the Xu family. That Buddha statue wasn't a good thing at all, and the 'benefactor' who came to the village wasn't a good person at all. Father Pan probably knew that this 'benefactor' wasn't a good person, but he hid his selfish motives and didn't tell anyone in the village at all.

"Later, the villagers saw that as long as they piously believed in the Buddha and accepted that True Buddha Lord, their wishes would be fulfilled. On the other hand, those who doubted or didn't believe came to bad ends. After that, everyone piously went to the temple to accept that True Buddha Lord.

"After that, something else happened. There was a time when a few families had a conflict with Father Pan's family. I don't know the exact reason, but I think they fought over a few pieces of land. Wait, I remember now. Not only that, the village chief of Dashan Village at that time wasn't actually Father Pan, who was only the acting village chief for the time being. Different from other villages, the position of village chief in Dashan Village is passed down from generation to generation. It just so happened that when the old village chief passed the position to his son, an accident happened and his only son fell into a coma, so the position of village chief temporarily fell to Father Pan. Later, when the old village chief's son woke up, Father Pan should have returned the position to him, but as the saying goes, the human heart is unpredictable. How could he let go so easily?"

What Aunt Miao didn't say was that from the moment she saw Father Pan, she had felt that he was different. It wasn't that his appearance and temperament were different from those of the villagers, but that Father Pan didn't seem simple at all. On the contrary, she occasionally saw burning ambition in his eyes.

Aunt Miao continued, "It was like this: At that time, the old village chief admired Father Pan quite a bit. Some of the things Father Pan did were also good. However, the position of village chief has always been passed down within the family in Dashan Village. When the village chief's son woke up and Father Pan didn't say anything, the old village chief naturally started to wonder. For another thing, the old village chief was actually quite dissatisfied with Father Pan suddenly bringing an outsider to the village. Even though he gained a lot of benefits, the old village chief still instinctively shunned outsiders and wasn't happy with Father Pan bringing a stranger into the village. In the old village chief's opinion, it was enough for the villagers of Dashan Village to be content. No one can know what will happen in the next second. There is also no knowing what the heart of a person is like. However good a face is presented to you can't prove that the other party is a good person."

The old village chief had indeed been a bit stubborn and superstitious, but given his age and experiences, his words weren't necessarily unreasonable.

"The most important thing is that the old village chief had always been deeply suspicious of that 'benefactor.' There's no such thing as meat pies falling from the sky for no reason, and Dashan Village had nothing to make the other party sit up and take notice, unless they had ulterior motives."

Chi Shuyan, Feng Yuanlin, and Director Wang all agreed with the old village chief's view. In the end, the older the ginger, the spicier it was. If the villagers of Dashan Village had believed the old village chief, the tragedy that followed probably wouldn't have happened.

Everyone was anxious to know what happened after that. Director Wang and the others couldn't help but immediately ask, "What happened after that?"

Seeing Aunt Miao's strange expression, Chi Shuyan guessed that it probably hadn't ended well for this old village chief and his family. Not only was Father Pan not simple, he was also very ambitious!

Sure enough!

Aunt Miao continued, "When the old village chief finally came looking for him, Father Pan was very good on the surface and agreed to give up the position. He also said that he made the last decision abruptly and had let everyone down. Seeing Father Pan's good attitude, the old village chief felt a little guilty. In the end, the old village chief wasn't someone who was wild and obsessed with power. He only had some objections to some changes in the village. Seeing that Father Pan was so sensible, he naturally gave him face. However, just as the old village chief was feeling completely reassured, Father Pan suddenly urged in public for people to dig up the old village chief's ancestral grave a few days later. He said that the True Buddha Lord had manifested and mentioned that the old village chief's ancestral grave contained too much baleful aura, which was especially bad for children and pregnant women!

"The old village chief didn't expect Father Pan to be so vicious as to encourage people to dig up his ancestral grave. He was almost angered to death. It just so happened that many people in the village believed in that Buddha, and at that time, many pregnant women and children were falling ill. Some of the children who were born were not only stillborns, but also monsters. Pregnant women also died one after another, along with children who were only a few years old. All of them suddenly died.

"Not only that, all the bodies of the children that were buried suddenly disappeared. At that time, the entire village was in a panic, and more and more people joined the team to dig up the ancestral grave of the old village chief!"
