Episode 22: There is a ghostly knock on the door

In that remote town, Wuwei faced two innocent children with a sharp knife.The boy bravely stood in front of the girl and protected his sister with his weak body.The girl's cries were heartbreaking and evoked memories deep in Wuwei's heart.He remembered that there was a severe drought in the village that year, and he saved the villagers in a mysterious way, which made Master Lu and others admire him.

At the same time, Rowan woke up from his coma, but still rushed to the table, greedily trying to devour the food.Cheng Nianyi firmly believed that it was impossible for ghosts to do these things. What is truly frightening is the human heart that is more terrifying than ghosts.They pretended to be fortune tellers and divined fortunes for the elderly in the town, but in fact they were gathering intelligence.The plan to build the Ghost Mother Temple in the town originated from a vicious curse 15 years ago.The Qicai Festival, a big celebration held every three years in the town, is just a way for them to seek spiritual solace.

Cheng Nianyi told Li Size that they had collected enough information and the truth was about to emerge.However, the housekeeper at home suddenly reported the news that something had happened to his master, which made Li Size extremely anxious.The housekeeper revealed that the master has often heard ghosts knocking on the door recently, and went out to check but found nothing. Now he is also troubled by this even during the day. His whole body is in a very bad state and he has fallen into a coma.

Li Size hurried home and heard about the fire that happened to his parents in the inn 15 years ago. At that time, the housekeeper and his parents were trapped in the sea of ​​​​fire and had only one chance to escape. The housekeeper chose to escape by himself instead of saving Li Size's parents.He felt deeply guilty, thinking that he had harmed Li Size's parents, and now it was their ghosts who came back to claim their lives.Not long after, Uncle Li also passed away.

The young master of the Lu family summoned Cheng Nianyi and Li Size. Li Size talked about Mr. Lu's good deeds, but the reputation of young master Lu Haotian was not very good.Lu Haotian revealed the strange things he encountered to Cheng Nianyi and others. After hearing about their miraculous deeds, he hoped to get their help.

Mr. Lu said that in order to build the Ghost Mother Temple, a villa must be selected and asked Wuwei to guard the temple.When Wuwei hesitated, Mr. Lu asked him if he was powerless or unwilling to help.In a dilemma, Wuwei can only accept it.

After Cheng Nianyi and Li Size were taken away, Cheng Nianyi asked Li Size about his experience of the illusion in the Ghost Mother Temple.Li Size described the terrifying process of first experiencing hallucinations, then seeing horrific scenes, and finally suffocating.He concluded that this was probably the cause of death for Mr. Lu and others.At this time someone arrived and stopped them.

The visitor was Ding Wan, and she revealed that her father was also killed by Master Lu.The Ding family never harmed anyone, so she persuaded Cheng Nianyi and Li Size to investigate the matter thoroughly.So Cheng Nianyi and Li Size returned to the Ghost Mother Temple to continue their investigation.
