The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 71 I Just Want to See Their Dead Bodies
Although he suppressed the backlash of "Corpse Descending" in a special way, that method also made Li Zhen more and more numb.

Using heart blood can relieve this numbness, otherwise once the numbness becomes strong enough, it will affect his activities.

Li Zhen scratched the runes he had drawn with his sharp nails. A bright red wound appeared on his skin, but no blood flowed out.

His body is becoming more and more like a corpse...

If there was no way to deal with the backlash of the bat-faced evil demon, he would have been completely transformed into a corpse by now.

The strange and distorted voice sounded in his head again, making Li Zhen frown.

Now, any use of black magic or related rituals would cause the evil thoughts of the demons within the mind to fluctuate, intensifying the mutual confrontation and erosion between the demons...

Li Zhen had developed some resistance to the pain, so he shook himself slightly, glanced at the woman again, and walked out the door with his things.

That Master Miao is a beast among beasts. After killing someone, he doesn't even let go of the corpse.

If there was time, Li Zhen would be willing to let this woman take revenge herself.

He had done this kind of thing twice and was very familiar with it.

Unfortunately, he is not in the right state now and needs to solve his own problems as soon as possible.

He had neither the time nor the energy to perform the magic of raising a ghost.

When he reached the door, Li Zhen turned around and looked at the little kid squatting on the ground eating heartily.

The little ghost seemed to feel Li Zhen's gaze and turned around to give Li Zhen an innocent smile.

But his lips and teeth were covered in bright red blood, making his smile look particularly strange.

"Watch your eating manners." Li Zhen frowned and said, "If anyone sees you, you'll be a disgrace to me."

The little ghost lowered his head timidly: "It smells so good, I can't help it..."

"I don't object to you eating him, I just think your posture should be more elegant." Li Zhen pushed open the door and walked out of the room.

"What does elegance mean?" The little ghost quickly followed Li Zhen.

"Wipe the blood off your mouth."

"Wipe it clean!"

After walking out of the semicircular portal, Li Zhen looked around, hesitated for a moment, and then walked to the left.

The truth has been investigated clearly. In order to dispel the woman's resentment, in addition to killing all the murderers involved, the most important thing is of course to find her husband's body.

Master Miao and the people related to him here can't escape, and the seven people over there can run away at any time.

If we let them take the body away, we won't know when it will come back after it has metamorphosed.

Once things get out of control, it will definitely affect the completion of the task.

More importantly, Li Zhen needed a secret place to set up the altar and perform the half-ghost descent.

The oppressive feeling in his consciousness reminded him all the time that he didn't have much time left.

There are seven people at the charity cemetery.

It takes exactly seven people to perform a half-ghost descent.

Moreover, Yizhuang is not only full of yin energy, but also a secluded place that few people would approach. It is exactly the place Li Zhen wants to find to set up the altar.

Since you like to pretend to be dead, then let them all become dead...

It was dark, and lanterns were hung on both sides of this secluded corridor.

The little ghost can directly block the vision of ordinary people with the simple method of "ghost covering the eyes".

With the help of the little ghost, no one could detect Li Zhen even if they passed by him.

Walking out of a small door, the scene outside suddenly changed.

Master Miao's residence was decorated with carved and painted buildings, and was dotted with lanterns and translucent glazed windows, making Li Zhen think he was in a prosperous city.

But the narrow street outside was deserted. From the faint light coming through the windows, one could see low houses on both sides, which had the characteristics of a small town in the Republic of China era.

Just separated by a wall, it is like two completely different worlds.

……

Li Zhen walked alone on the cobblestone street. As his body further transformed into a corpse, his movements became stiffer, and his gait was somewhat uncoordinated.

Perhaps because of the corpse drivers entering the town, the town was very quiet tonight. When walking on the street, one could only hear the occasional barking of dogs, but no sound of any conversation.

The little ghost came running back silently and excitedly said to Li Zhen, "The coffins are over there. There are both living and dead people inside!"

"How many people are alive?"

"There are... five... six... no, it seems to be eight..."

The little ghost counted on his fingers for a long time but could not come up with a definite answer.

Li Zhen reminded him, "Isn't that seven? The fingers of one hand, plus two?"

The little ghost nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's seven!"

"Is there a fat man?"

"Yes, there is a fat man. Some people call him the platoon leader."

“Is there anyone in there you’re afraid of?”

"No."

Li Zhen, who was about to speak, suddenly heard a clear bell sound coming from the front, which sounded like the sound of a soul-catching bell used to drive away corpses.

In the intervals between the ringing of the bells, Li Zhen could vaguely hear the sound of talking, but did not hear the sound of chanting.

Really unprofessional...

"Go and kill them all."

"Kill them all?"

"I just want to see their bodies."

"Another mission completed!"

The little ghost jumped forward and disappeared after a few steps.

……

"Hey, put on your clothes properly! Who can't tell you're a living person like this?"

"The clothes are too tight, and there's so much stuff stuck inside, it's hard to walk."

"Platoon leader, it's hard to move this guy with two people carrying him. We have to drag him. He's too vulnerable."

"Wow, give me a few scratches, right there on the back... No, no! A little to the left! The left!"

Inside the charity cemetery, seven people, led by a fat man nicknamed the platoon leader, were tidying up their clothes.

The situation here has been quite tense recently. Soldiers are guarding the entrances and exits of the town to check if anyone is smuggling duck slices and arms.

When they came, as usual, they put the duck slices in the belly circle.

Thinking they were dead, the soldiers were afraid of bringing bad luck, so they just gave them a perfunctory check and let them into the town.

It is said that it is easy to get in but hard to get out.

This time they not only wanted to take away duck slices, but also a corpse.

It is actually harder to bring an extra corpse than an extra duck slice.

None of them was a corpse driver, and no one knew how to do it, so how to transport the body became a problem.

Fortunately, the platoon leader was smart and suggested that two people carry the body forward.

They move forward in a row, with the person behind holding the shoulders of the person in front.

As long as a bamboo pole is passed through the sleeves of the corpse on both sides, and two people in front and behind hold the bamboo pole respectively, it can create the illusion that the corpse is walking on its own.
"Hurry up, hurry up, we have to get going!" The platoon leader in Taoist robes urged as he looked at the chaotic crowd. "After we finish this job, we can rest for a long time. This Master Miao is quite generous."

The five people of different heights, weights and bodies giggled as they put on their pointed black hats, covering their faces.

For outsiders who don't look carefully, it is really difficult to tell whether they are human or corpses when they are dressed like this.
