Facing Wang Ye's question, Huang Miao shook his head:

"A corpse standing in the water cannot be pulled out with an iron hook. Someone needs to go into the water and tie a red rope around the neck of the corpse to lock the resentment inside the body, and then the corpse can be pulled out."

Hearing this, Wang Ye stepped forward without saying anything:
"give it to me……"

But Huang Miao reached out to stop him:

"No, there are dangers everywhere underwater, and there are many water monkeys waiting for us. A corpse with resentment is scarier than a zombie, especially in this water, it's easy to get into trouble."

Wang also frowned. He didn't know what Huang Miao meant. It was not right to go into the water, and it was not right not to go into the water. Was he just going to stand on the raft and do nothing?

At this time, Huang Miao was also lost in thought. Wang Ye opened his mouth, but seeing Huang Miao in deep thought, he could not bear to interrupt.

Huang Miao stared at the water surface and thought that the problem was more complicated than he thought. Based on the touch sent back by the iron wormwood, he concluded that the corpse he had just touched must be a standing corpse.

If an ordinary corpse retriever encountered such a corpse, he would definitely return home quickly and return the money to the victim. But Huang Miao knew that he could not give up because he was not an ordinary corpse retriever but wanted to solve the case and break the feng shui situation.

If we can't get the bodies back to the light of day, we can't expect to lure out the evil spirits. If the evil spirits are not eliminated, more people will go missing.

what can we do about it?

Huang Miao searched for the relevant Feng Shui ancient methods in his mind. Wang Ye stood beside him, looking around vigilantly to protect his safety. He held the black gold ancient sword, with the momentum of one man blocking the pass and ten thousand men unable to pass.

The seemingly calm river surface was actually full of dangers. All the water monkeys were afraid of the strength that Wang Ye and Huang Miao had just shown, but they did not want to miss this feast.

This was also a point that made Huang Miao feel embarrassed. How much resentment must one have to keep a complete body at the bottom of a river full of water monkeys to make the water monkeys dare not approach?

First there were huge waves, then thunder, and now there was a corpse standing in the water. This resentment forced Huang Miao to be cautious.

After a while, Huang Miao finally opened his eyes and seemed to have found a way. He looked at Wang Ye and said:

"There is a method of exorcising corpses in the ancient Feng Shui method. Unlike corpse-driving, corpse-driving can only control the corpse for a short period of time, but it may be able to make the corpse float to the surface. Let's see what's going on with this corpse first, and then think about how to fish it out."

Wang knew nothing about these things, so he just nodded and didn't say much.

Huang Miao stood on the raft, took a deep breath, and then took out three cigarettes from the cigarette box. After lighting the three cigarettes, he took a few puffs and then lit the ash in his hand.

Huang Miao drew another strange symbol on the raft with the incense ash on his face. This symbol was different from the one he had drawn on the raft before.

That symbol looked a bit like a Taoist spell, but this symbol seemed to be composed of several ancient hieroglyphs. Of course, Wang Ye looked at it carefully and found that it was just a resemblance and not a real hieroglyph.

For some reason, the whole symbol gave Wang Ye a sense of antiquity, as if its origin was so ancient that it was difficult to trace using common sense.

After drawing this symbol, Huang Miao blew hard. Strangely enough, although the ash dispersed, the traces left behind were still clear.

Huang Miao then clasped his fingers and began to tap the raft regularly with his knuckles. The tapping movements were sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes light, sometimes heavy. At the same time, Huang Miao once again chanted in a strange tone:

"The sky is clear, the earth is desolate, the rivers and roads are dark, and the sufferings of the ages are endless. The dead are immortal and their bodies are incorrupt. If you hear this, turn back quickly..."

Huang Miao then took out a small bundle of red thread from his pocket and threw one end of the red thread directly into the river. His voice then became so low that Wang Ye couldn't hear what he was chanting.

Then Huang Miao slowly pulled the red line in the water, as if the red line at the other end was really connected to something, and it seemed a bit strenuous.

Under Wang Ye's confused gaze, ripples miraculously appeared on the water surface.

Then, a blurry black shadow slowly emerged on the water and gradually became clearer.

Huang Miao let out a breath when he saw this, but then a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

The corpse really floated up, and just as he expected, it was a standing corpse.

However, what Huang Miao did not expect was that the standing corpse was not upside down, but completely upside down, standing upside down in the water with its head down and feet up.

In an instant, a strong wind blew up on the river and huge waves rolled.

The sky then became darker, with dark clouds and rumbling thunder.

Huang Miao quickly retracted the red line and stared at the corpse under the water with a serious look.

"A corpse standing in the water is already a very bad sign, and a corpse standing upside down in the water is even more ominous." He said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye immediately gripped the black gold ancient sword tightly and looked around vigilantly.

On the surface of the river, a whirlpool gradually formed with the standing corpse as the center.

In the whirlpool, the figures of water monkeys were looming. They seemed to be controlled by some force, swimming madly, making the whirlpool bigger and bigger.

Due to limited vision, people on the shore could not see the body in the water for the time being, but they could clearly feel the sudden change in the weather and the formation of a whirlpool.

All this happened so suddenly and so strangely that Zhuge Qing shouted in horror: "Oh no, something happened!"

The raft began to spin out of control under the attraction of the whirlpool, and the speed was getting faster and faster, as if it would be swallowed by the whirlpool at any time.

"Send people to rescue quickly!" Zhuge Qing anxiously ordered the investigator.

But Zhang Lingyu firmly objected: "No, the two directors will definitely find a way to solve it. You will only cause more trouble if you go."

Zhuge Qing looked at Zhang Lingyu with dissatisfaction and asked, "At this point, what can they do? He's your director, are you just going to watch them get into trouble?"

Zhang Lingyu's expression was equally solemn, but he said firmly: "I believe in our director and deputy director. They will not do anything they are not sure of."

As if to confirm Zhang Lingyu's words, Huang Miao's angry voice was faintly heard: "How dare you! How dare you be so presumptuous? You have no shame!" Upon hearing the voice, everyone looked towards the river, only to see Huang Miao picked up the paddle again and shook the raft hard.

In an instant, the entire raft seemed to be controlled by a powerful force. Although it was in a whirlpool, it no longer drifted with the current.

The people on the shore couldn't see the details clearly, but Wang Ye noticed that the black dog blood and chicken blood that had been smeared on the boat seemed to flash a light at that moment.

Then, Huang Miao picked up the iron wormwood, hooked the trouser legs of the corpse lying upside down in the water, and pulled it towards the raft with force.

Huang Miao seemed to be completely enraged, with anger flashing in his eyes: "Today I want to see who can subdue whom!"

Wang didn't know who Huang Miao was talking to, but as the corpse got closer, Huang Miao quickly picked up the red rope and skillfully wrapped it around the corpse's ankle.

Then, he took a few steps back, pulled upwards with force, and actually pulled the entire corpse out of the river.

This scene shocked Zhuge Qing so much that he stood there in shock. He watched Huang Miao pull a corpse out of the river, as if he had been struck by lightning.

Not only him, but all the investigators and police officers on the shore stopped their work and looked at the river in disbelief.

"How is this possible?" Xia He rubbed his eyes, ran to the riverside, and asked in disbelief, "The salvage bureau has salvaged this area of ​​water at least four times and found nothing. Where did this body come from?"

Zhuge Qing was also extremely shocked. You know, before this, he had personally directed the salvage work by the salvage bureau.

So many people, so much professional equipment, and nothing.

And Huang Miao pulled a corpse out of the water with just a raft, a simple pole and a red rope?
Zhuge Qing was puzzled and even felt a little dizzy.

In this great shock, he felt that everything he knew was gradually collapsing because of the core situation.

What exactly is this for?
Zhuge Qing couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

What was even more strange was that the body that Huang Miao had fished out was now standing upright on the raft.

People on the shore could only see its silhouette standing there, but could not see its open eyes.

The corpse was wet and swollen, but it had not decayed for twelve years.

Huang Miao and the corpse looked into each other's eyes, and Wang Ye's expression suddenly became a little weird...

Wang also noticed that the condition of the corpse was extremely unusual. The whole body was shrouded in a layer of deathly aura that was difficult to dissipate, and the tips of the five fingers were black and the nails were abnormally sharp.

Wang Ye vaguely felt an inexplicably familiar aura from the corpse, which made him feel an inexplicable sense of danger and his expression became strange.

Huang Miao stared at the corpse standing on the raft. Although it was creepy to be stared at coldly by a corpse, he didn't seem to care.

He said in a low voice: "The state of this corpse is indeed strange. The forehead is black, which is a sign of resentment gathering and not dispersing. It seems that the resentment accumulated in the chest has filled the forehead."

As soon as he finished speaking, the motionless corpse suddenly stretched out its hands without warning and grabbed Huang Miao's throat.

Fortunately, Wang Ye remained vigilant and quickly drew out the black gold ancient sword, standing between Huang Miao and the corpse.

"Sure enough, this corpse has turned into a zombie." Wang Ye thought to himself. He had felt that the state of the corpse was very strange before, and it also exuded a familiar smell. Now he suddenly realized that it was because the corpse had turned into stiffness.

He has extensive experience dealing with zombies, so he feels an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

However, Huang Miao still stood where he was and did not retreat a single step because of the zombies' sudden attack.

He looked at the corpse in front of him coldly and said, "It's not a real zombie, but the resentment in its body is controlled by the resentful spirit. As long as the resentment is driven out, the corpse will return to normal."

Wang Ye nodded upon hearing this, and then took a step forward and stood between Huang Miao and the corpse. He chopped at the corpse with the ancient black-gold knife in his hand without hesitation.

"Dang..." When the blade chopped on the skin of the corpse, it seemed as if it had chopped on a piece of iron. At the moment when the blade was about to touch the skin, a cloud of black air lingered on the skin, which seemed to form a special kind of protection.

Wang Ye finally understood why Huang Miao said that this corpse was not a real zombie. Ordinary zombies had stiff joints and could only jump and move, but this corpse could walk normally and even pounced on Wang Ye.

Although this was not an ordinary zombie, Wang Ye and Huang Miao were already used to this kind of thing. However, for everyone on the shore, this scene shocked them.

Huang Miao only used a simple long pole and a red rope to pull a body out of the water, which surprised everyone. But the body was standing upright on the raft, and soon it pounced on the two fiercely, which made everyone unable to believe their eyes.

Several investigators with poor concentration even collapsed to the ground with weak legs. Until that moment they sat on the ground, they still hadn't come to their senses, and their eyes were staring at the river in astonishment.

Zhuge Qing's face was very ugly at the moment. He never thought that he would see such a bizarre event in his lifetime. The corpse that appeared inexplicably could suddenly move normally. This was definitely not something that science could explain.

The folk zombie incidents he had heard of before came to his mind. This was the first time he re-examined these legends, and a terrible thought came to his mind: "Could it be that these things are facts disguised as legends?"

At the same time, Zhuge Qing also noticed that Huang Miao and Wang Ye remained calm and did not show the kind of surprise that normal people would have. It was as if these things were nothing out of the ordinary for them.

This made Zhuge Qing feel that he, Huang Miao and Wang Ye were in two different worlds. Some of the incredible things they said before attracted Zhuge Qing's attention again at this moment.

Even Zhuge Qing himself did not realize that he was no longer wary and suspicious of Huang Miao and Wang Ye. Instead, he began to question whether his understanding of this world was too superficial.

The investigators from the National Security Office were all like this, not to mention the police officers from the suburban police station. They were even more incredulous about these strange phenomena.

Xia He stood there in shock, until Zhuge Qing called out to her several times before she came to her senses. Zhuge Qing quickly realized the seriousness of the incident and immediately ordered Xia He to block the surrounding area to ensure that no unauthorized persons approached.

Xia He immediately understood Zhuge Qing's intention and nodded to urge the police officers to leave. However, perhaps because he was too curious about Huang Miao and the others, he did not leave and still stood beside Zhuge Qing to observe the situation on the river.

The raft was already crowded with Huang Miao and Wang Ye, and now with the addition of a corpse, it seemed even more crowded. The two of them had almost no room to move around, so they were naturally restricted.

However, facing the corpse with its fangs and claws bared, Wang Ye barely moved his feet. He could block all directions of the corpse with just the black gold ancient knife in his hand. Huang Miao stood still without dodging at all. (End of this chapter)
