Chapter 172 The Ghost King's Runaway Husband (24)

A middle-aged woman frowned and said, "How about we ask Taichu to send someone?"

The old village chief shook his head and sighed, "The three leaders of the Taichu sect have never returned. The last time they sent someone here, they were killed by ghosts. We lost so much money, how can we save enough to invite the next master?"

After the old village chief said this, everyone fell silent. Every time they invited people from the Taichu Sect to go down the mountain, they had to spend a lot of money, and if someone from the Taichu Sect died, they had to pay compensation.

Although Dahe Village is not very remote, it is just barely able to make ends meet. Every year, in addition to inviting masters from the Taichu Sect, they also have to pay protection fees.

Their lives are also very difficult.

"What are you afraid of? I don't believe that a group of us can't deal with those ghosts. Let's fight them!" A young man suddenly stood up and said.

"That's right. There's no other way anyway. We have to work hard to provide ourselves with enough food and clothing, and protect our village ourselves!" Another villager also expressed his support.

They had had enough. They were busy from morning till night every day, but were exploited at every level and could not even get enough food and clothing. They might as well fight the devil directly. If they won, they would have hope in the future. If they lost, they would die and it would be all over.

"I think this is feasible. With so many of us united, there may be a glimmer of hope."

The villagers nodded in agreement. If possible, who wouldn't want to live a good life? But life in this world is too difficult, so they could only take the risk.

The old village chief looked at everyone and was silent for a long time. Knowing that this was their only choice, he could only sigh with tears in his eyes.

"Since everyone thinks so, let's start tonight. Everyone should close the doors and windows tightly and select a few strong young men to take turns patrolling. Maybe we can really survive this disaster!"

Dahe Village started out as a village of just a few people but now has more than a hundred households. It has gone through many ups and downs, but now, according to him, it is in danger of being destroyed.

He just felt ashamed to face his ancestors, but now, he could only try his best to protect as many people as possible!

Everyone was talking about how to deal with the danger, and everyone was racking their brains to think of countermeasures.

As the sun gradually set, the discussion gradually came to an end. Although everyone was still in a heavy mood, they were not as overwhelmed as before. They packed up and prepared to go home. Especially those who had someone in their family who had to patrol that night, they wanted to cook quickly so that everyone could have enough to eat.

Although there is little hope for survival, at least the family is together, right?

As night fell, dark clouds covered the entire Dahe Village. The village became eerily quiet, with no other sounds except for the occasional bird calls.

"Husband, is there a ghost here?" A clear voice broke the silence in the darkness. It was Shen Zuixue.

"Well, it should be a ghost with great spiritual power." Yan Changsui nodded and walked in front of Shen Zuixue.

Since they left Yong'an Village, the two planned to travel around and take care of any evil spirits they encountered.

As the King of Ghosts, Yan Changsui can command ordinary ghosts and also suppress evil spirits.

Along the way from Yong'an Village to Taichu Sect, the two of them had seen countless villages haunted by ghosts and monsters.

Shen Zuixue was not worried and followed Yan Changsui silently.

Suddenly, a figure passed by behind the two of them. Shen Zuixue turned back subconsciously, but saw nothing.

The shadow didn't have much resentment, so the two men didn't pay any attention to it and continued walking into the village.

As the two went deeper, they suddenly heard the sound of fighting not far away. The two looked at each other and rushed towards the source of the sound.
