I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong

Chapter 235: Return to Yu Family Village



"Exactly what's going on in the Yu Family Village – perhaps we'll have news in a few days. Our top priority for now is to wait for Elder Gao's task tomorrow."

Tian Lin was not interested in idle chatter on this matter, he ate the Water Spirit Rice and, as usual, practiced the Sealing Soil Skill with the Sealing Earth Pill.

The night passed without words, until the next day at noon, he and Zhou Jin, along with two others, bid farewell to Elder Ran.

Not long after they left, Elder Ran's old uncle arrived almost immediately.

His old uncle, dressed in funeral attire, mournfully said to Elder Ran, "Nephew, I must ask you to go to the Yu Family Village again."

Elder Ran looked at the new funeral outfit on Yu old man and couldn't help but exclaim, "Old uncle, what's this? Could it be that something happened to your aunt?"

Yu old man wiped away his tears and said:

"It's not just your aunt who had an incident, Xiaodang and Xiaoling at home both had incidents too. Not just my family, but all the women in the entire Yu Family Village died overnight."

----

"What does Elder Gao mean by having us come here to accept a task today? We're all here, but she still refuses to show up."

On the deck, an impatient fat man made a comment.

It was only because Elder Gao was not present that he dared to mutter. However, he only muttered this once, not daring to complain further.

"The sky is about to darken, where do you think Elder Gao has gone?"

Zhou Jin whispered to Tian Lin, but Tian Lin could only shake his head: "This matter can only be known after Senior Sister Zhou asks Senior Sister Bai, and we see what Senior Sister Bai has to say."

After Tian Lin finished speaking, Zhou Mengjiao and a few female disciples came down from the upper floor of the Tower Ship.

Several male disciples greeted them and surrounded the female disciples with questions.

At this moment, Zhou Mengjiao and Zhang Rou also walked over to Zhou Jin and Tian Lin, saying:

"Senior Sister Bai said that she has been sleeping in the attic this whole time, and hasn't seen Elder Gao at all."

Tian Lin interjected upon hearing this: "Senior Sister Bai is in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment; could her injuries be very severe? Otherwise, why would she be so sleepy?"

Zhou Mengjiao also frowned, obviously finding it somewhat unbelievable.

She thought for a moment and whispered something to Zhou Jin.

Her words made Zhou Jin also furrow his brows, but unfortunately, since Zhou Mengjiao only whispered to Zhou Jin, Tian Lin had no idea what she actually said.

At that moment, suddenly, someone said 'Elder Gao is here'.

Everyone on the deck looked in the direction of the voice, and indeed they saw Elder Gao appear with an old man.

Zhou Jin and Tian Lin's expressions changed slightly, others might not recognize the old man, but Tian Lin and Zhou Jin had seen this elder before.

He was none other than the elder from Xiangxi Sect who had stopped Elder Gao from taking the Red Coffin that day.

Elder Gao then introduced to the disciples, "This is Elder Fang from Xiangxi Sect, haven't you met Elder Fang yet?"

As the disciples paid their respects, Elder Fang said, "Xiangxi Sect and Wendaos Sect have a thousand-year friendship. We are all from the same sect, no need to be so formal."

At this moment, Elder Gao continued, disclosing the reason for her delay:

"An unexpected event occurred, I was originally going to have you continue to capture undead for the task. But at noon today, invited by Elder Fang, I went to Yu Family Village—"

Others may not be clear about Yu Family Village, but Zhou Jin and three others were very familiar with it, especially Tian Lin.

At this time, Zhou Mengjiao, Zhou Jin, and Zhang Rou all glanced at Tian Lin.

Tian Lin maintained a calm expression, but inside he felt that something strange was going on.

Talk about coincidence, indeed it was quite coincidental.

Right after he had left Yu Family Village, Elder Gao also went there.

"Elder Fang has invited me to send off the deity due to haunting spirits in Yu Family Village. However, this requires the help of all disciples—thus, this deity sending ceremony will serve as your monthly exam."

"A deity sending ceremony? Which deity are we sending off?"

Senior Brother Changxue then stood up and said:

"Sending off a deity is not usually a difficult task, but if the deity in Yu Family Village is so easy to send off, then why couldn't the villagers of Yu Family Village do it themselves?"

Except for Tian Lin, who had only studied Funeral Science for a month, the others were all born into prominent families of the North Wilderness, with a deep understanding of inviting and sending off deities.

Everyone looked at Elder Gao, waiting for her explanation.

"The thing is, Yu Family Village invited two deities, and they offended both deities' taboos, resulting in the death of the entire village overnight."

Elder Gao said, "Yu Family Village is very far from Xiangxi Sect, and Elder Fang thought of us since we are nearby, so he invited us to help.

This matter has already been discussed with my sect's Peak Masters and the transmission elder, and they also feel it's part of an immortal disciple's duty to help a friendly sect, so they all agreed."

This explanation from Elder Gao was unlikely to be a lie, but the reasoning about seeking help from a nearby friendly sect due to distance seemed a bit far-fetched.

There might be some interests involved, but since the transmission elders in the sect have agreed, it shouldn't be dangerous.

"Thus, sending off the deity requires things like paper effigies, which we don't have at hand."

Senior Brother Changxue said this, and Elder Gao coldly responded: "Why do you need to mention this? As an elder of Xiangxi Sect, would Elder Fang lack such items?"

With no further objections from everyone, Elder Gao continued to Elder Fang: "In that case, shall we go to Yu Family Village now?"

Elder Fang nodded: "This matter needs to be dealt with promptly. If we cannot send the two Evil Gods away soon, the land of mass burial might be hard to settle down later."

Elder Gao controlled the Tower Ship to set forth, and finally, the ship arrived above Yu Family Village. Elder Gao said,

"All disciples, come down with me; as for Wang Ran, let her stay on the ship to recuperate."

The disciples looked at each other, not knowing what illness Wang Ran had contracted these past days.

Logically speaking, although Brother Xue's feigned death made her inhale some Corpse Poison, was just some Corpse Poison enough to cause such severe aftereffects?

But this was not the time to discuss these matters, and after all, Elder Gao was an elder, so it wasn't appropriate for them to question her.

Seeing Senior Brother Changxue leading the way to jump down from the Tower Ship with his Sword Control, the others followed suit and descended.

By now, it was dark and Yu Family Village was eerily silent.

Looking at the dark village, Tian Lin's expression grew somber.

Zhou Jin knew that Tian Lin had been to Yu Family Village before, so he closely followed beside him. Noticing Tian Lin's expression, he asked, "How is it, do you notice anything unusual?"

Tian Lin shook his head, and the few of them quietly waited at the village entrance for the rest of the disciples to gradually gather.

"The smell of blood is so strong, and the aura so heavy."

Zhang Rou also reached Tian Lin's side and said with furrowed brows:

"There must be at least several thousand people in Yu Family Village. If it were ordinary Evil Spirits causing trouble, it shouldn't result in such a heavy smell of blood.

And what about this faint sense of grievance, what's going on?"

As she finished speaking, Elder Gao's voice rang out,

"Now, the top priority is to clean up the roaming souls and Night Patrol Deities inside. Elder Gao and I will first set up a formation on the periphery to trap the Evil Spirits inside. After you enter the village, be sure not to go to the Goddess Temple in the south of the village. Leave that to Elder Fang and me."

The disciples no longer stayed long, each taking out their flying swords and Magical Treasures and entering the village.

Tian Lin, with his True Eye, saw roaming souls everywhere.

There were many Night Patrol Deities here, but the disciples of Wendaos Sect present were no ordinary mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

Several obstructing roaming souls and Night Patrol Deities were swiftly extinguished by the disciples.

"These people's clothes are not uniform, what does that mean?"

After slaying some Evil Spirits, Zhang Rou couldn't help but utter.

Tian Lin thought for a moment and said, "These roaming souls are not all from Yu Family Village. I've seen all the males from Yu Family Village, and most of these are unfamiliar faces."

"So, are these roaming souls brought by some unknown god?"

This matter was really hard to confirm, so Tian Lin couldn't give a definitive answer.

At this moment, Senior Brother Changxue spoke up:

"We need to spread out; otherwise, with so many roaming souls and Evil Spirits, and so many Undead, it will take forever to clean up."

"Even if we need to spread out, we must not act alone. Whether we can send the God away is one thing, but what's most important is our own safety."

Senior Brother Changxue nodded, agreeing to one of the trainees' suggestions, and said decisively:

"Then, let's form teams of two, and go house to house to deal with the roaming souls and corpses inside. We must not miss a single one, to avoid any accidents during the sending of the god."

Zhou Jin looked at Tian Lin and smiled, "Looks like we brothers get to deal with the Undead together again."

Zhang Rou asked Tian Lin and Zhou Jin, "Where do you plan to start searching?"

Tian Lin pointed to the west side of the village and said, "That side is Elder Ran's uncle's place, I plan to check it out there."

Zhang Rou then said to Zhou Mengjiao, "Then let's start from the west side of the village too."

The four of them set off together and soon reached the west side of the village.

Suddenly, the sound of a baby crying arose from Elder Ran's house, and the faces of Zhou Jin and the others changed.

Zhou Jin couldn't help but say, "Could it be that Elder Ran's uncle's family still has a surviving baby?"

Tian Lin, however, shook his head: "Although Elder Ran's friend's family does have children, they are all seven or eight years old already, there shouldn't be any babies.

Moreover, the sound of a baby crying isn't limited to just Elder Ran's friend's house. Listen carefully, there are such cries from every household."

Everyone looked in the direction of the crying, and indeed, there were cries everywhere, seemingly surrounding them.

"It's ghost babies—the unknown god that the Yu family invited seems to be not so simple."

At this moment, Zhou Jin was worried about Zhou Mengjiao and said:

"Senior Brother Changxue wants us to team up in pairs, which seems to increase efficiency but is actually very dangerous. It's better for you two to stick with us—"

Zhang Rou also said, "Yes! This matter of sending the god, it's good if we can achieve it, but if we can't, it's also unavoidable. This place is Xiangxi Sect's territory, if anything messy happens, it's Xiangxi Sect's headache. This is also the area under Elder Fang's jurisdiction, it's unreasonable for us to take risks for him."

Zhou Mengjiao didn't want to separate either, so the four of them opened the large door to Elder Ran's house together.

As the door opened, the scene in the courtyard made everyone's scalp tingle.

In the yard, about ten bloody, red-eyed babies with sharp teeth, were either crawling by the well, or propping against the walls, or hanging on the doors—

Pairs of eyes, all looking towards the people present.
