When the Dead Come Back to Life

Karma Wicked Woman

Ertu walked out of Serli Zhao's room. The four members of the Jiao family were silent for a moment. Until Xinping finally spoke.

“But this is a bit strange, why are you the only ones who see and are bullied? Why don't me and dad?” tanyakanya.

“A-I don't know, I don't want to know either!” Xinhua covered both of her ears.

Concubine Jin was speechless while concubine Zhao replied. “Whatever the reason, I want the boy to go from here.”

The night was getting late, Concubine Jin and Xinhua had long since left Consort Zhao's room. That night Xinping decided to sleep in her mother's room. In accordance with his father's orders not to leave anyone among them alone.

That night concubine Zhao had fallen asleep on her bed whereas Xinping was sitting on the recliner while playing with a knife. He then took a glass of water filled with peach juice on the table and drank it until it ran out.

“Uhgh, I can't sleep gini sih” grunya with a small voice. He looked at his mother who was asleep without a blanket. ‘Mother is very distrustful of ghosts and the like, but now I see her so frightened by they say ghost Xinxi.’ He murmured in his heart.

Xinping then stood up and decided to get out of her mother's room for a while. But he did not go far, just sitting in front of the door while staring at the overcast sky.

Not long after that his tail caught a suspicious movement at the end of the training field. He also looked in that direction and saw there was a soldier who stood behind him behind the bush – shrubs beside the tree.

‘Warrior? Is there a night of – nights in mom's room page?’ grunts in the heart.

Feeling suspicious, Xinping stood up and approached. He wanted to reprimand the soldier who he thought might be a man from Xinxi to scare – nakuti his mother. When he got close to the skinny soldier, he rebuked.

“Heh warrior, what are you doing on the training ground?” xinping Admonition.

The soldier did not answer anything and still turned his back on Xinping. Upset, Xinping instantly pulled on his shoulder and scolded him. “HEH, I asked you!”

But when the soldier's head was looking up, it was clear that there was a large throat scar on his neck that was almost broken. Xinping who saw him widened in shock and directly pushed him.

“HWAA!!” His shouting.

The soldier whose head was about to break fell off. His head pointed towards Xinping while opening his mouth trying to say something.

“Agg ... ghh .. gaa..” Murmur the soldier.

Xinping retreated backwards quickly, but he was intercepted by a great many sinister humans.

“AMPUNI .. AMPUNI..” says they.

“Ghost!!” Xinping Shouted.

He ran past the ghosts who seemed to rise from the ground of the grave. Quickly he returned to his mother's room and closed the door of his room meeting – meeting. The sound of the door slam immediately shocked the sleeping Consort Zhao.

“Xinping?” call Consort Zhao.

Xinping rushed to hug her mother in fear. “Ghost ma'am, there are ghosts in the practice field!” said.

Consort Zhao widened in shock. “They? l-they? y-you saw it too?” tanyakanya.

Xinping nodded in fear “bu, they were wearing warrior clothes, prisoners, fancy clothes, and servants. What don't – don't they .. They are the last ones that mom killed and grandpa killed?” tanyakanya.

Concubine Zhao was stunned. His eyes glanced left and right feeling scared but also convinced. “They ... if so they are really ghosts?!” abugn.

Just when concubine Zhao said so, her bedroom door was in – gedor. BRUK! BRUK! BRUK! Xinping and her mother gasped in shock. But then the sound of the door slamming again sounded and began to be irregular.

BRUK! BRUK! BRUK! BRUK! BRUK!

“They are trying to get in bu!!” xinping Shouts.

Consort Zhao stood up and took the spear from the weapon rack. He then made it a door retainer. “Take another one!” concubine Zhao said.

Xinping picked up another spear and sword and gave it to her mother. Object – bedna was used as an additional door holder to make it stronger. From outside sounds are heard.

“AMPUNI .. AMPUNI..” says they.

Consort Zhao closed her ears in fear. ‘That's really them, those I killed. But they are sinners! They're guilty! They are corrupt, they fail to do their duty, they betray!’

“I'M NOT WRONG ANYTHING! YOU ARE WRONG!! GO YOU!” Shouted concubine Zhao.

But the sound of the door's pounding grew stronger after he said so. It made concubine Zhao and Xinping even more afraid. “Mother, what should we do now??” ask Xinping in fear.

Consort Zhao continued to cover both of her ears and crouched down. “I'm not wrong! I'm not wrong anything!” muttered.

Xinping shook the shoulders of concubine Zhao. “Bu!” call him.

BRUK! BRUK! BRUK!

“Consort Zhao!” call someone from outside.

BRUK! BRUK! BRUK!

“Consort Zhao!” Call the person outside again.

Xinping was the first to hear it. “Su-voice people?” said.

Consort Zhao was still crouching while covering both of her ears. “Fraud! That must be a trick! Don't open the door!” concubine Zhao said.

“T-but that's the voice of people bu.” Xinping.

“I told you not to open!” Consort Zhao said.

Xinping would not listen to her mother's words, she removed the spear that was blocking the door and opened it. But it is true Xinping's guess, which outside is no longer a ghost but 3 soldiers on night patrol inside the Jiao residence.

Consort Zhao was glued to the spot after he knew that it was a soldier. His body was filled with cold sweat and his eyes were filled with tears.

“T-so there is a soldier on the training ground, he Xinping.

3 The soldier felt confused “we will check it out. But you're good – is fine young master?” the answer.

Xinping nodded slowly. The three warriors then saluted “then we will go check it out and then continue the task.” Said.

Xinping nodded slowly again and the three soldiers walked away. He kept looking at them from afar to make sure if they were right – would properly check the field or not. After he saw the three soldiers inspect the field, Xinping closed the door.

“Bu, you're good – is fine kan—“ asked while turning back.

He was fixated on the spot when he saw his mother was dead pierced by 5 spears. Nearby there is a terrible woman figure who the end of this final – terrorizes the Jiao family.

“MOTHER?!” call Xinping.

The monstrous woman raised the spear in her hand with a smile. “AMPUNI?”

The terrified Xinping instantly broke down the door. But her mother's bedroom door was locked from the outside. “AAAA!!! HELP!!! HELP!!!” xinping Shouts.

He tried to break down the door with all his might until the wall shook. As a result, the candle lights near the closet fell and burned the carpet on the floor. Xinping was still not aware of it and he kept trying to break down the door.

“OPEN!!! HELP ME!” he screams louder.

At the last break, the door finally opened. Xinping fell down gouged to the ground, but he immediately got up and ran while shouting.

“WARRIORS!!! WHOEVER!! HELPG!!! THERE'S GHOSTS!!! MOM KILLED!!!!” His shouting.

But the fire from the falling candles very quickly spread throughout the room. Until the fire spread to a wooden cabinet where concubine Zhao hid gunpowder.

DHUAAR!!!

Zhao's room of concubines exploded, Xinping who was still nearby bounced up to hit a tree and was unconscious. It was only when the explosion occurred that the soldiers arrived and shouted.

“There's fire!!!” shout soldiers “News to master prime minister!!”

The night turned morning, and the paper - the dead man's banknotes were circulated more than yesterday. The coffin inside the main room had also been increased to one more, but this second coffin had to be closed early.

The prayer-driving monk presides over the prayer ceremony with wisdom. Consort Jin was not present in it because he fell ill, as well as Xinping who had to be treated for burns and impact wounds on his head. So that those present in the prayer ceremony were only Ertu, Xinhua, and Xinxi.

Outside the Jiao residence came Liyan to bring an official affidavit from the emperor. He also brought some soldiers with him. Along the way, he could hear the voices of – people gossiping.

“What a pity the fate of the Jiao family. Just last night they were lost to their family members and now they are losing another family member again.” Said a woman.

“I'm sure this must have something to do with the work of concubine Zhao and her father. They are sharp weapons testers and use live humans as the object of their weapons sharpness test.” Reply theme.

“How can the lord prime minister marry a woman who in her youth worked as a murderer/Even if the target is a sinner prisoner, it is still karma.”

Liyan did not care about the talk. Because there must be one thing he cares about.

“Have heard? Last night concubine Zhao's room exploded!” said one of the male mourners. “Then after check, it turns out there is gunpowder in the room of concubine Zhao!”

“Mesiu powder?! It is a forbidden powder, even the emperor just pulled the circulation of explosive powder for fear of being stolen by the rebels.” Answerthe theme. “How can Consort Zhao get the gunpowder?”

“I don't know either, but surely Jiao Ertu will receive a big problem from the Emperor.” Reply theme.

Arriving in front of Jiao's residence, Liyan got off her horse and immediately walked into the main hall. The only – people he immediately met was Jiao Ertu, the grieving head of the family.

But it seems that the discovery at dawn greatly angered the emperor and Liyan. Jiao Ertu who saw Liyan coming with anger, instantly kowtowed under Liyan's feet.

“Hamba begs for his noble mercy.” Ertu. “Hamba is still waiting for the person whom I ordered to investigate the case.”

Liyan sighed patiently “No need to bother – bother. From here the soldiers of the palace defense generals will take over. I hope this doesn't match my father's conjecture about you and your concubine.” Said.

Xinxi was silent with a sad face while Xinhua was frightened along with her 2 dangers.

Liyan also gave the command scroll to Ertu and again sighed heavily. “That's all I want to tell you.” Said. He looked at Xinxi and gave her the code to get out of the main room.

Xinxi understood the request from Liyan and walked out silent – silent. Next to the main hall they met and Liyan thoughtlessly asked him directly.

“Xinxi, are you also involved?” Said.

Xinxi replied “ no matter what your accusation I don't want to defend myself because I'm too tired. You can trust me or not, it's up to you.”

Liyan immediately looked at Xinxi and remained silent for a while. “I'm sorry for what happened.” Said. “I pamit.” He walked away and left Xinxi silent.

“…”

Late in the evening, the remaining members of exit Jiao gathered in Consort Jin's room. Concubine Jin could not stop crying out of fear. Xinping was still petrified with her head bandaged and there was a slight burn on her neck. Xinhua that night did not come over due to fainting and Ertu stayed in place with a chaotic feeling.

Not long after, the servant of the Jiao residence house knocked on the door of the room. “Master, this is servant.” Said.

“Come.” Answer Ertu.

The man's servant came in with a letter. He then gave it to Ertu and immediately he read.

“I have received your message and I will help you. Since the condition is that he follows you, then take him to my temple and we will perform the extermination ceremony of the evil spirit. After all he as a spirit has killed someone who is still alive and as a punishment his spirit must be destroyed.”

Ertu told the male servant to leave, and after he left Ertu said. “Defend for 3 more days, we will go to the Northern temple to perform the evil spirit extermination ceremony.” Said.
