The Old Man looked at her and sighed deeply, "If this were something from seven years ago, I might know the truth."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze toward the Old Man.
He took a moment to collect himself and began recounting the events from seven years ago.
"I remember it clearly; it was the fifteenth day of the seventh month. I gathered a few people to go fishing in the Pond.
"I had dreamed that there was a corpse in the Pond.
"I wanted to retrieve the body and give it a proper burial.
"I didn't want the fish in the Pond to eat the corpse and turn into evil fish.
"We searched for half the day but found nothing.
"However, Wang Zhiming found me.
"He asked for my help to conceal the body.
"He didn't want to cause sorrow for the elders at home.
"He wanted to fulfill his filial duty.
"I had no choice but to help him.
"From that day on, I knew I had done something wrong."
"Because I have obscured the secrets of heaven.
"I have broken the rules.
"With cause and effect, I will face retribution!
"I just didn't expect that the retribution would come so quickly!"
The Old Man clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha!"
He continued, "I should have guessed this.
"Before coming here, I had someone read my fortune.
"The divination led me here.
"Now that I think about it, I was seeking my own demise!"
The next morning.
The Old Man arrived at the Pond with the items prepared by his cousin.
The Three Grandmothers were still standing there, seemingly having waited for a long time.
She looked at the Old Man and asked, "Who are you?"
The Old Man looked at the Three Grandmothers and said coldly, "Who I am is not important; what matters is that I am here to save people!"
The Three Grandmothers shook her head slightly. "It's impossible to save them!"
The Old Man frowned slightly. "Whether or not they can be saved is not for you to decide!"
The Three Grandmothers pointed at the bodies standing upright in the pond. "Look, they are already standing there. Do you really think they can be saved?"
The Old Man turned his gaze to the two corpses.
It was indeed Uncle and Grandma from the Wang family.
At that moment, the bodies stood in the pond like wooden stakes, creating a bizarre and horrifying scene.
As he stared, a faint smile suddenly appeared on the Old Man's lips.
He said, "I've seen enough of these sinister tricks."
The Three Grandmothers shook her head slightly. "I can't tell which sect you belong to."
The Old Man snorted coldly. "What are you trying to accomplish with your theatrics here?"
The Three Grandmothers shook her head again. "I only wish to guide the souls of the deceased."
The Old Man scoffed. "Previously, you had the Wang family fetch water, which seemed like an act of saving them, but in reality, it was an act of murder!
"You are stalling for time here while the Wang family has already fallen into despair."
“If we delay any longer, the Wang Family will be wiped out!”
The Three Grandmothers remained silent.
The Old Man did not ask again.
He walked directly to the edge of the Pond.
Under the astonished gaze of the Three Grandmothers, he stepped closer to Upright Corpse.
He approached his grandmother's side.
The Second Uncle's head was positioned right beneath her feet.
The Old Man reached down and turned the bucket under the Second Uncle's head around.
Then he reached into the water and pulled up a bucket.
He returned to the shore with the bucket in hand.
He asked everyone, “Do you recognize this bucket?”
The younger aunt took a look and suddenly said, “This seems to be Second Brother's bucket.
“ Second Brother likes to catch Field Snails; he often takes this bucket with him to catch them.
“Look, there’s a notch on this bucket.”
"I remember very clearly, because Second Brother often asked me to sew barrels for him.
"So, you're saying that Wang Family’s Second Son's ghost is in the Pond?"
The Old Man looked at everyone, his gaze sharp as a knife.
"Three Grandmothers, you knew about this long ago, didn't you?
"Why did you have to be so cryptic and even let the Wang Family fetch water?
"You nearly got everyone killed!"
The Three Grandmothers looked at the Old Man and sneered, "How can you still have the face to say that?
"Back then, you taught Captain Chen how to feed fish with dismembered bodies but didn't tell him that the deceased's Obsession needed to be handled differently.
"As a result, the Wang family is facing disaster today; you are the real culprit!"
Hearing this, my cousin hurriedly said, "You two masters, could you please set aside your grievances and help us deal with the aftermath?
"What should we do?"
