That night, Xiao Yu slept very well. He got up early in the morning, practiced swordsmanship in the yard, ate some food, and wanted to wait for Caidian to arrive, because today is Caidian's last day. If Caidian doesn't come, Xiao Yu had to go to ask the mountain god rat. However, with Caidian's cultivation, he would not dare to betray his faith.

Just as Xiao Yu was sitting with his chin on his mouth, the sound of firecrackers sounded in the village. Xiao Yu knew that this was the old village chief who was about to come out this morning!

Today is July 15th, which is also the day when the old village chief is buried. Xiao Yu is free and plans to go to the old village chief’s house first. After all, it is still early, maybe Caidie is still sleeping!

Standing not far from the old village chief's house, Xiao Yu saw that those who carried the spirits were ready. Because there were only urns in the coffin, the coffin was very light, and the four young people carried it up without any burden.

Xiao Yu stood by the roadside, listening to the sound of firecrackers, and then a sound of crying sounded. Then, Uncle Xiao, who was holding a brazier last night, walked out. Behind were some wreaths, including boys and girls, and relatives holding white horses. They all looked sad. Wherever they passed, the dark paper was scattered all over the ground, looking very spectacular.

In fact, Xiao Yu was also puzzled at this time. After the old village chief was killed, the female ghost said that he did not see the old village chief's soul. Where did the old village chief's soul go? The first thing Xiao Yu thought of was that he was taken away by the City God, but who was the City God? How could he care about a soul? But the soul was not taken away by him. How could it disappear under the female ghost's eyelids?

Xiao Yu opened his eyes and after the team carrying the coffin left, he entered the old village chief's yard and looked around, but he could not find the old village chief's soul. At this moment, Xiao suddenly heard a crying sound. The sound sometimes stopped. It should be an old man, but in broad daylight, how could an old man cry?

Although the sound is sometimes unchanged, Xiao Yu can still hear it. The sound is around him, so he stopped while walking. After a while, he stood outside the Xiao Family Ancestral Hall, and the sound came from the inside of the ancestral hall.

"Who could it be? I cried here early in the morning." Xiao Yu thought to himself and walked into the ancestral hall immediately. Now, Xiao Yu was stunned because the person who was crying was not someone else, but the old village chief. But now the old village chief can be said to be unrecognizable, with half of his head and half of his body gone, and his whole body was pitch black, looking the same as when he died.

"Grandpa, why are you here?" Although the village chief died, Xiao Yu had seen many things, so he was not very scared and immediately stepped forward and asked.

When the old village chief heard Xiao Yu's voice, he didn't care at first. After all, he was a soul now and mortals couldn't see him, but when Xiao Yu stood in front of him, he realized that Xiao Yu could see him.

"Xiao Yu, can you see me?" The old village chief stopped crying and said in surprise.

"Grandpa, village chief, I am a Taoist priest. Of course I can see you, but why are you here? Why don't you go to the ground?"

"Hey, grandpa hasn't thanked you yet. I helped me kill that monster! Look at grandpa like this now, I'm afraid I'm scared to go out, so I hide here and wait for the night to go out."

Xiao Yu was stunned and couldn't help but smile, "Grandpa Village Chief, this is what you looked like when you died. You can change it, and even ghosts can change at will. Don't you know?"

"Oh, are you serious?" the old village chief said happily.

"Of course, if you don't believe me, try it." Xiao Yu nodded.

Although people will retain their appearance when they die after death, they become ghosts after all, so they still have basic illusion ability. However, when ghosts appear in front of humans, they usually show a very terrifying appearance, so people feel scared when they mention ghosts.

When the old village chief heard Xiao Yu say this, his heart moved immediately and his face immediately returned to his usual appearance. This made him overjoyed. He stood up and looked at his arm and said, "Grandpa still said that he was like this, he couldn't meet his ancestors, now it's better."

"Grandpa, how did you come to the ancestral hall?"

The old village chief shook his head and said, "I don't know. After I was killed by a zombie, my soul was pulled here before I left. Because I was afraid that others would see it, I hid in the ancestral hall. I just saw the children when they parted, and I started to cry sadly! If you hadn't come today, I wouldn't know what to do."

Xiao Yu nodded in confusion, then looked at the decorations of the ancestral hall again, but there was nothing else in the entire ancestral hall except a few rows of spiritual seats! However, this ancestral hall actually had the power of protection, which surprised Xiao Yu a little.
