Chapter 44: The Wedding Day

And that year happened to be a Yin year.

Most of the villagers did not want to leave their hometowns, so they agreed to the Daoist priest's plan.

They found a woman born in a Yin year, Yin month, and Yin hour, and spent a lot of money to marry her.

So on the day of the wedding, they dressed the woman in a red robe and sealed her alive into a clay statue.

That statue is the one in the temple.

Even after 20 years,the woman's cries and pleas for mercy before she died still echoed in their dreams.

Of course, after they finished the ceremony and made offerings, dark clouds gathered, and it began to rain heavily, just like today.

They cheered and jumped in the rain.

But what they didn't know was that it was the beginning of a nightmare.

That night, an entire family died.

And every year on this day, the woman's ghost would emerge from the statue and demand the villagers pay for their sins.
