"Minmin, tell grandma, who is Cao Ya? Why do your parents have such expressions?" Old Madam Wu had a solemn face, with a hint of anger bursting out from her eyes.

Wu Minmin cried silently: "Grandma, Cao Ya was a little beggar my father picked up from outside when I was seven years old. My father said that Cao Ya would be my personal maid. Cao Ya was clever and obedient, and we became good playmates. Suddenly one day she left without saying goodbye. My father said that Cao Ya had found her relatives and was taken back by her family."

She took a deep breath: "But today I found out that Cao Ya has never left the Wu family!"

"Could her death have something to do with your parents?" Old Madam Wu stared at the red-clothed ghost on the ground, which was full of yin energy.

She was forcibly separated from the water monster by Gu Yuexi, and her soul and body were severely damaged. At this moment, she was lying weakly on the ground, trembling all over.

"brush!"

Suddenly she looked up, revealing a terrifyingly pale face, with dark pupils without whites staring fixedly in one direction.

Her limbs seemed to have no bones and she moved limply in that direction. Her speed was slow but terrifying.

"what!"

Seeing the red-clothed ghost suddenly raise his head, Wu Huier screamed in fear: "Don't come over! I didn't kill you, don't come over!"

Zhang Heng stood in front of Wu Huier. There was no fear on his face, but a closer look revealed despair in his eyes: "If you have anything to say, come to me. Don't hurt my wife."

Wu Minmin had an expression of disbelief: "Dad, Mom, is it really related to you that Cao Ya became like this?"

The couple paused when they heard the sound.

What else do Wu Minmin and Old Madam Wu not understand?

Madam Wu angrily scolded: "You are so confused! What did she do to make you do such a cruel thing?"

Wu Huier cried bitterly: "Mom, I didn't mean it!"

She knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Golden Saint Goddess, please take away the ghosts and save us!"

"You killed someone, and you still have the nerve to ask the Queen to save you. What sin did my Wu family commit to give birth to a fool like you!" Old Lady Wu was so angry that she was shaking all over, and she hit her daughter with the solid wooden crutch in her hand.

"Clap clap clap!"

The crutch hit him, but was completely blocked by Zhang Heng.

"Bang!" Suddenly a crutch hit him on the head, and blood flowed from Zhang Heng's forehead.

"Husband!" Wu Huier said in a trembling voice.

Zhang Heng shook his head: "I'm fine."

He covered his head and looked at Madam Wu: "Mom, this matter is all my fault, don't blame Hui'er."

"Haha! One is stupid and the other is bad, they are really a perfect match. No wonder they love each other so deeply." The water monster couldn't help but mock.

After stripping away the ghosts, it finally became less scary.

The negative energy in his body dissipated, the dark gray skin turned white, and the blood-colored nails returned to normal. Although it looked a bit weird with fish scales all over his body, he looked much better than before.

He had a new understanding of the Golden Saint Goddess. Perhaps, she was so powerful that she was unmatched.

At first he was angry and fearful, but now he only feels respect and gratitude.

It was she who gave herself a chance to be reborn.

Without the parasitic ghost, he found that he could absorb spiritual energy again, which was a huge surprise to him.

He was in tears and very excited!

Seeing blood on Zhang Heng's forehead, Wu Huier was panicked.

"What's going on? Tell me the whole story!" Old Madam Wu put down her cane and took a deep breath.

Wu Minmin was puzzled: "Mom, why? Why did you want to kill Cao Ya? She has been a beggar since she was a child. She has never had enough to eat or clothes to wear. She has experienced wind, frost, rain and snow. She is a miserable person. Why did you kill her?"

She didn't understand how deep the hatred between her and her usually gentle and kind father and her not-so-bright but timid mother could be so cruel as to attack a child!

Under her mother's harsh questioning, Wu Huier stammered and told the past: "Actually, all of this... is a misunderstanding..."

Seven years ago, she found out that her husband often went out, and secretly thought that he had a mistress. She was very angry, but she could not find any evidence.

Until later, her husband brought home a little girl. The little girl was fair and clean, and her temperament was a bit similar to her husband's. She thought her husband had brought home her child born to another woman, so she beat and scolded Cao Ya. Although her husband did not stop her, he did not explain Cao Ya's identity either.

"Once I accidentally pushed her against the corner of the table, and by the time I noticed she was breathing out more than breathing in..."

Zhang Heng continued her words clearly, "She was not dead at that time. I was afraid of causing trouble, so I strangled her to death and threw her into the lake in the abandoned backyard. Later, the servants in the house often heard the crying of a girl, so I guessed that it was the ghost of Cao Ya, so I asked a Taoist priest to build that storehouse to suppress the ghost of Cao Ya. After that, nothing happened again."

"Perhaps this is why this brother's practice was ruined by some unintentional mistake!"

He finally admitted everything!

Wu Minmin and Old Madam Wu felt the chill running through their bones.

"You know Hui'er is stupid, why don't you explain to her clearly that Cao Ya is not your concubine's daughter, and let Hui'er beat and scold her?"

Madam Wu stroked her chest, regretting deeply: "Zhang Heng, you have always been wise, that's why the master married Hui'er to you. But look at what you did, you killed someone!"

"I'm sorry...hiss..."

Zhang Heng suddenly covered his chest and frowned in pain.

Wu Huier was anxious: "Husband, are you having a heart attack? What's going on? Hasn't it been several years since it happened?"

"I... Huh..." Zhang Heng's face turned pale instantly.

Wu Huier was extremely worried and shouted anxiously: "My husband! My wife, my husband has a heart attack. Please save him!"

Gu Yuexi originally let them resolve their grievances on their own, but something suddenly happened halfway through, so she had to step in.

Gu Yuexi took a closer look and asked, "Heart disease?"

"Yes, Madam. My husband has had a heart disease since he was young. Seven years ago, we found a wandering Taoist priest who saved my husband. He has not had a heart disease for several years. I didn't expect it to relapse today."

Gu Yuexi suddenly noticed a demonic aura lingering around Zhang Heng and shook her head: "Zhang Heng, besides the matter about Cao Ya, you have something else to say, right?"

Madam Wu was surprised and asked, "Hui'er, what else did you two do?"

Zhang Heng kept silent. He didn't expect that all his affairs would be exposed.

Gu Yuexi answered for him: "He dug out someone else's heart and put it on himself, thinking it was foolproof. However, he didn't dig out the heart of a human being, but the heart of a monster. The monster's energy corroded his flesh and blood, and his body couldn't withstand the impact of the monster's energy. Sooner or later, the heart would instantly lose its activity because the monster's energy dissipated, and he would die at that time."

"As for the recurrence of heart disease, this is just the beginning."

"what?"

Mrs. Wu suffered a great blow.

“Oh!” Zhang Heng laughed sadly. “At that time, Hui’er suspected that I had a mistress. In fact, I asked a Taoist priest to catch a few monsters. I heard that eating the hearts of monsters can prolong life. In order to solve the problem once and for all, I replaced the heart with a monster’s heart.”

"That Taoist priest advised me to think twice, but I didn't listen to him. I just wanted to live, live forever, and grow old with my wife. Unfortunately, for others, this wish is easy, but for me, it takes countless lives to achieve it."

All the truth is revealed!

Zhang Heng suffered from heart disease. Seven years ago, he met a wandering Taoist priest who told him that he could survive by eating the heart of a monster. So he asked the Taoist priest to catch a monster and eat its heart.

Wu Huier mistakenly thought that he had a mistress, but she couldn't find any evidence against him. She took out all her anger on Cao Ya, the little beggar Zhang Heng brought with him. She accidentally injured Cao Ya severely. To prevent more trouble, Zhang Heng ruthlessly strangled Cao Ya to death.

He abandoned Cao Ya in an abandoned courtyard of the Wu family. Cao Ya was full of resentment and became a parasite of a carp spirit. By some strange coincidence, she interrupted the carp spirit's practice, making its five hundred years of hard work in vain.

In order to take revenge, the carp demon placed a kind of corpse worm on the cloth, which aroused public anger. The Wu family became the rats crossing the street, and everyone wanted to kill them.
