C24 (2/2)

Taoist Wang was normally very dignified, and probably only he could control this kind of scene. As expected, there was no more noise from the crowd, everyone agreed to listen to Taoist Wang.

Taoist Wang said a few more words, telling everyone to go back first, he would definitely think of a way to put the person down.

Hearing him say this, everyone had nothing to look at, no one dared to come over to touch the corpse, but after the relatives of Aunt Zhang burned some paper and cried for a while before returning home, the rest were even more unwilling to stay here, and quickly left.

The customer sat down and tried to think of something, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. Logically speaking, this was a good thing for the thousand-year-old tree to burn paper and worship her. Could it be that the tree wouldn't forgive her?

Taoist Wang said no, if there really was a spirit demon that had struck her, then she would not die in this manner. It was clear that Aunt Zhang's death was a natural death, and being struck by lightning was also a coincidence.

His son told Taoist Wang about how he was struck by lightning yesterday. He said that he remembered how lightning struck the thousand year old tree.

Taoist Wang said that everyone in the village knew of this matter. Every time there was lightning striking on the tree, it would shake the tree till it seemed to be trembling, as if it did not know what grudges the heavens had with this tree. Why did they specialize in splitting this tree?

The guest said that according to the scientific explanation, this ancient tree was too big. The tree itself was the source of the thunder. It was normal for such a large ancient tree to have this phenomenon. It shouldn't be a strange matter.

Taoist Wang and the guests were busy for another half a day, but were unable to find any clues. From start to finish, they did not understand why the dead Aunt Zhang would hang herself.

At the beginning, the Zhang father and son did not want to let them go. It was true, there was a dead person hanging at home, and no one could be sure about that.

After comforting them for a long time, the Taoist Wang told the Zhang father and son that as long as you did not take the initiative to put the corpses down, nothing would happen to them. Only then did the Zhang father and son reluctantly agree.

Early morning of the next day, Taoist Wang went to Aunt Zhang's house. The corpse was still hung there, but the difference from yesterday, was that Aunt Zhang had suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the west.

He asked the Zhang father and son what was going on. They also had bitter smiles on their faces. They said that Aunt Zhang's left hand was like this when he woke up in the morning, and had even maintained this posture until now.

Taoist Wang walked around the corpse a few times, but still couldn't find anything.

This customer's curiosity was also high, so he followed the direction the Aunt Zhang pointed to and arrived outside the west wing's door.

The furnishings in the room were very simple. There was a altar in the corner with something that couldn't be seen clearly. However, there was a portrait on the wall that looked like an animal. He didn't know what it was.

Just as he was about to push open the door and take a look, the husband of the Aunt Zhang ran over in a hurry to ask him what he was doing. Without waiting for the guest to speak, the husband of the Aunt Zhang immediately locked the door.

This matter was delayed for another day, and it was only at night when he went to eat at a restaurant, when the guest mentioned the portrait he saw in the west wing, that Taoist Wang finally understood what had happened.

Early morning of the next day, he brought his guests and chased everyone out. An hour later, Taoist Wang opened the door and came out.

Hearing his words, they felt as if they had heard an imperial edict. A few of them easily took Aunt Zhang down from the roof, and then went to untie the rope.

Aunt Zhang took off the rope sheath. Since she had nothing to do, Taoist Wang instructed him to burn the rope.

After all of them were done, he placed Aunt Zhang into the coffin.
