“Miss Liu, Miss Liu.”

There was a knock on the courtyard door.

Liu Sanniang got out of bed and quickly went to open the door. It was Officer Zhang.

Seeing Liu Sanniang, Officer Zhang said, “Miss Liu, Magistrate Wei wanted to see you. Are you ready to go out? Let’s go.”

Liu Sanniang was stunned for a moment before nodding at Officer Zhang. “Ok, let’s go.”

Officer Zhang walked in front. As it was still very early, the road was covered with a thick layer of snow and it was hard to walk on it.

Liu Sanniang followed behind and did not speak.

Officer Zhang was the first to speak. “Miss Liu, it’s strange. The son of a family in Zhang Village insisted that he was a snake and wanted to go up the mountain on such a cold day. His family couldn’t stop him no matter what. When they tied him up, he cried and screamed, causing the villagers to be uneasy. They had no choice but to ask the government for help. They wanted us to find out the reason why their son is suddenly delusional.”

“When Magistrate Wei went there, he didn’t find anything unusual. We saw with our own eyes that the son was crawling on the ground like a snake. Magistrate Wei was clueless. That’s why he asked me to come and invite you over.”

Officer Zhang stopped in his tracks. “That person refused to be tied up. We have no choice but to let him go up the mountain. Miss Liu, we have to walk faster to see what’s going on with him.”

Liu Sanniang replied. “Okay.”

After leaving the town, Officer Zhang led Liu Sanniang up the mountain through a path.

The branches, grass, and trees were all covered in snow.

After climbing up a mountain, Officer Zhang stopped. He turned around and looked at Liu Sanniang, panting. He took a few deep breaths. “Miss Liu, you’re really impressive. After walking for so long and climbing a mountain, you are not running out of breath at all.”

Officer Zhang lowered his eyes to conceal the hatred and jealousy in his eyes.

Liu Sanniang looked at him calmly. “It’s not like I shouldn’t have been born in the first place. When my mother was pregnant with me, she wasn’t hurt. I was born full term, so I’m naturally healthy. It’s useless for you to be jealous of me. You can’t have what I have.”

When Officer Zhang heard Liu Sanniang’s words, a shocked look crept up on his face. “Miss Liu, why are you saying this?”

Lita Sanniang looked at Officer Zhang and replied with indifference. “Zhang Tianyou, you’re really in a hurry to seek revenge on me, aren’t you?”

Officer Zhang looked up at Liu Sanniang in disbelief. His eyes turned vicious as he gritted his teeth and said, “Liu Sanniang.”

Liu Sanniang revealed a cold and mocking expression. “Yes, I know what you want to do.”

Zhang Tianyou coughed violently. “Cough, cough, cough… Come out! What are you waiting for?”

“Young lady, didn’t anyone tell you to stay low-key and not be arrogant?” said a sinister voice.

An old and hunched figure slowly walked out of the forest. She held a walking stick and looked at Liu Sanniang viciously.

Granny Zhou walked up to Zhang Tianyou and said, “Kid, let’s catch her today and suck her dry to vent our anger and hatred.”

Zhang Tianyou covered his mouth and coughed. “I’ll listen to you. She caused my grandmother’s death and made me live a life worse than death. My grandmother said that she has an extremely powerful force on her. If I can obtain it, it’s equivalent to being reborn. Let’s take our revenge and split this force.”

Granny Zhou nodded. “Indeed. She has ruined my plans many times. She doesn’t know what is good for her.”

Granny Zhou was panting as she spoke. Liu Sanniang was simply a jinx, causing her to suffer a backlash several times. If not for the fact that she had a life-saving method, she would not have been able to survive until now.

Liu Sanniang smiled. “Then how are you going to go about taking revenge on me?”

Liu Sanniang sensed a strong evil aura from Granny Zhou and Zhang Tianyou. She was the nemesis of evil, so she was not afraid of them. When Zhang Tianyou changed his appearance to look like Officer Zhang, she already discovered it but she went with him nonetheless.

Zhang Tianyou’s body was weak. If he wanted to live on, he had to constantly absorb vitality. Wherever he went, he would emit an evil presence.

Last time in Yuezhou, Liu Sanniang suspected that Lu Qingqing was poisoned by Zhang Tianyou. If Zhang Tianyou hadn’t taken the initiative to come to her, she didn’t know when she would have been able to catch him.

Liu Sanniang did not know that Granny Zhou had done sinful deeds too. Now that the two of them were working together, it gave Liu Sanniang a chance to kill two birds with one stone.

Zhang Tianyou glared at Liu Sanniang. “I wonder how long you can stay calm for. When we came up the mountain, Granny Zhou and I had already set up a formation. No one will come to save you.”

Zhang Tianyou was very dissatisfied with the serene look on Liu Sanniang’s face. This was not what he wanted to see. He hoped that when Liu Sanniang saw him, she would be shocked and angry rather than calm and collected.

Granny Zhou said coldly, “Kid, don’t waste time talking to her. Just do it.”

Granny Zhou narrowed her eyes and thumped her walking stick where thick, black smoke started spreading out until it morphed into the shape of a snake. It raised its head high and flicked its tongue at Liu Sanniang.

Zhang Tianyou covered his mouth and coughed. He quickly retreated a few meters to watch this scene.

Granny Zhou’s eyes were cold as she shouted. “Go to hell.”

At the order, the huge snake flew at Liu Sanniang. Almost instantly, it surrounded Liu Sanniang, enveloping her in apocalyptic darkness.

Liu Sanniang sat in the snow and chanted the familiar scripture.

Namo Amitabha Buddha… (Note: Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra)

There was a faint Buddhist light gradually spreading out from Liu Sanniang when she chanted.

When the black smoke of the snake approached her, it was dispelled instantly. It was as if she was really a living Buddha who was here to eliminate all the sins in the world.

Liu Sanniang chanted again and again, causing the snake to start emitting white smoke. As for Granny Zhou, her body was bent and she hissed in pain.

Zhang Tianyou frowned. A beam of golden light broke through the black smoke, and the snake shattered into pieces. The remaining black smoke fled back into Granny Zhou’s body.

The poisonous worms released by Zhang Tianyou could not even get close to Liu Sanniang. It was as if they were isolated by an invisible barrier. When they touched the barrier, they sizzled and died.
