Folk customs begin with the entire funeral procession

Chapter 84 Stitching Corpses
Chapter Four

"My best friend Xiang Shang came to see me. Looking at his dejected appearance, I knew he must be troubled by love again."

"To soothe his broken heart, I rode his beloved motorcycle to buy him a dozen Cokes and a dozen Beers."

"Cola was his request, but I think beer suits him better."

"Given his alcohol tolerance, drinking these beers should be enough to make him forget all his troubles for a while."

"Just as I was about to go upstairs, Kong Fang called me back."

"From him, I learned that a troublesome guest had come to the museum."

"But having already experienced so much, I did not reject the parents who had just lost their beloved child because of Kong Fang's description."

"During my conversation, the matter ultimately ended in a relatively satisfactory conclusion."

"When I finished my work and returned to the office, I saw those aluminum cans on my desk."

"Just as I expected, all those empty cans were beer cans!"

"This dozen or so cans should be enough for him to get a good night's sleep."

"Then, I got into work mode."

"I was busy all day, while my best friend was sleeping."

"To avoid disturbing him, I put some ready-to-eat items on the table in the bedroom. When he wakes up and gets hungry, he will take care of it himself."

"And I, after a busy day, also fell into a deep sleep."

"I don't know how long I slept, but I was suddenly woken up by the roar of a motorcycle."

"When I finally realized what was happening and ran to the window to see what was going on outside, I was completely speechless."

"Xiang Shang was speeding in a funeral home!"

"Only six bottles? You can't drink like this!"

"I immediately ran downstairs."

"When I arrived, some of the people living in the dormitory had turned on their dormitory lights and were watching the situation from a distance."

"The night guard at the East Gate has also arrived with his big black dog."

"After saying hello, I waited in the direction my best friend would take."

"Soon, the roar of motorcycles drew closer."

My best friend rode over to me, looking very excited.

"My best friend's behavior made me both embarrassed and annoyed."

"I took two steps forward, blocked my best friend's path, shouted at him, and waved for him to stop."

"I know my best friend's character. He can joke around and have fun, but he always knows how to keep things in check when I get angry, so I'm not worried at all about whether he'll stop."

"But what happened next was something I never expected."

"When my best friend saw me, he seemed... even more excited."

"From the approaching roar, I could tell that my best friend not only wasn't going to stop, he even... wanted to run me over!"

"How can it be?"

"I hesitated for a moment, but ultimately I still believed in the relationship between my best friend and me."

"But I was wrong."

"When I realized he was five meters away from me and hadn't stopped, I jumped to the side."

"But my best friend seemed to know where I was going to jump, and he turned around at the same moment as my body."

"I was thrown out and my body crashed more than ten meters away."

"The pain, accompanied by a feeling of suffocation, turned my thoughts into a complete mess."

"But the feeling of suffocation disappeared very quickly."

"I can breathe again, I shouldn't die."

"Just then, the roaring sound rang out again."

"The blinding lights shone on my face, and the wheels of a car ran over my neck."

"At that moment, I seemed to hear a maniacal laugh." "The laugh came from my best friend's mouth, but I knew it wasn't his laugh."

Suddenly, I thought of the motorcyclist who died in a car accident and was put into the cold storage today.

"I think I've figured something out."

"But it was too late."

"I am dead."

……

Chen Miao had never imagined dying in this way.

He thought it would be a thrilling battle, but for some reason he died unexpectedly.

But who could have imagined he would die in a car accident!
No wonder a newly born ghost was able to kill him.

Because that ghost wasn't looking for him at all; it was looking for Xiang Shang!
Upon closer reflection, it makes perfect sense, considering that both of them are knights!

However, this also served as a reminder to Chen Miao.

It doesn't mean that having the peach wood sword, talisman, and ghost cube means he no longer needs to fear any evil spirits.

The difficulty of dealing with vengeful ghosts cannot be generalized.

Just like this time, a newly born ghost killed this 'veteran'.

If a ghost were to drive a large truck and crash into you, the peach wood sword in his hand would be no different from one made of paper.

Therefore, even if he has more and more tricks up his sleeve, we still cannot let our guard down.

After realizing this, Chen Miao's restlessness, which had been creeping in without his notice, gradually dissipated.

After calming down, his gaze fell on the book again.

As the book states, it goes without saying who that ghost is.
In fact, if Chen Miao had simply performed a ritual to release the spirit when it was born, there would have been no subsequent possession of Xiang Shang.

Therefore, this incident is not difficult to understand.

However, Chen Miao hesitated.

He hesitated between exchanging incense sticks to directly send the other person to the afterlife, or trying another method.

I turned to the page for the miscellaneous books list in "Notes on Becoming a God in the Secular World".

Chen Miao's gaze fell on "The Secret Techniques of Southern School of Corpse Stitching".

The corpse-sewing technique in "The Secret Techniques of Southern School of Corpse-Sewing" also has the ability to perform rituals for the deceased.

Moreover, if the "Painted Skin" technique from the "Southern School of Corpse-Sewing Secrets" is used, then Luo Yucheng's face will no longer be a problem.

But now there's a problem.

If you want to use the "Southern School of Corpse-Sewing Secrets", you need to exchange for the corresponding materials from the book in order to unleash the power of the secrets.

Exchanging those materials will cost at least two coins of good karma!
Is it worth spending two coins of Yin virtue for a newly born vengeful ghost?
Chen Miao fell into deep thought.

From the perspective of accumulating merit, it's definitely not worth it. When Old Wang performed the ritual for the deceased, he only gave two coins of merit, and this ghost should be the same.

Using incense sticks can earn you a small amount of merit, while using peach wood sword blanks or talismans will earn you even more.

The best-case scenario with the secret technique of sewing corpses is that the income and expenditure will be balanced.

It seems obvious which is better or worse, but Chen Miao's dilemma lies in the impact of the secret technique of sewing corpses on reality and on the Tianmen Funeral Home.

If the secret technique of sewing corpses was used, Luo Yucheng's face was repaired.

In this way, the deceased can rest in peace, the bereaved family can be satisfied, and the reputation of Tianmen Funeral Home can be spread. It's a win-win-win situation, and the only loss is a small amount of good karma.

This is the reason why Chen Miao hesitated.

Looking at the chapter content, I also checked the remaining one or two coins of karmic merit I had accumulated.

Chen Miao ultimately decided to choose the latter and use the secret technique of sewing corpses to solve the problem!
This is the best opportunity available now. If we encounter other corpses without ghosts in the future that require the use of the secret technique of sewing corpses together, the losses will be even greater.

After making the decision, Chen Miao turned to the exchange page in the book and found the two materials needed for sewing.

[Corpse wax] (A small act of good karma)
[Human skin paper] (A small act of good karma)
【Fishbone Needle】(A small act of good karma)
【Mulberry bark line】(A small act of good karma)
