Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

Chapter 108 The Fox

The matter in the morgue was finally resolved. When everyone opened the coffin, they were horrified to find that everything inside had been burned to ashes, leaving only a basin of charred ash.

Park Ji-yong gritted his teeth, but a hint of relaxation flashed in his eyes.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, we weren't exposed..."

Then he turned to Jin Shangde and the others, gave them some instructions, told them to find a new auspicious burial site, and then hurriedly left.

Just after Park Ji-yong left, Kim Sang-deok suddenly became serious and said to everyone, "After you left, I went to a nearby Buddhist temple and talked with the abbot. I found that something is wrong with this tomb. I plan to go back and take another look."

Upon hearing this, the other three exchanged bewildered glances.

Gao Ronggen waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Now that everything's been resolved, there's no need for you to waste your time going up the mountain. Wouldn't it be better to go eat some barbecue now?"

The other two also expressed similar opinions, saying that since the matter had been resolved, they did not intend to meddle any further.

After arguing for a moment, a phone call suddenly came in. Kim Sang-deok was taken aback, then answered the call.

But after listening for only a short while, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he hung up the phone with a dark face. Everyone was curious and asked what had happened.

"A worker accidentally shoveled up a snake while we were leaving to finish up."

"A snake? It's just a snake. Although it's a bit taboo, nothing too serious will happen, right?"

Snakes, whenever they appear near graves, are considered to be spiritual animals that guard the burial site.

Customs vary from place to place, but most agree on the rule of not striking snakes encountered on graves.

Kim Sang-deok shook his head and sighed, "That was a snake with a human head."

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts skipped a beat.

"There's definitely something wrong with that grave. No, I have to go check it out." With that, Kim Sang-deok prepared to leave on his own. But at that moment, his old partner, Ko Young-geun, stopped him, looking helpless. "Hey, it's almost dark now. Let's go tomorrow. I'll go with you tomorrow."

After all, going up such a strange mountain at night is too dangerous. The other two chimed in to agree.

On that mountain, Li Hualin had even seen strange foxes roaming around.

In short, it's very strange and eerie.

After finishing his meal, Chen Hengyi resolutely refused Kim Ji-yeon's request to stay the night.

"Miss, I already said I'll leave after I finish what I'm doing. I won't stay here any longer, or you'll end up with nothing."

The woman wanted to continue spending money on him, and Chen Hengyi, not wanting her to get too involved, tried to dissuade her, but Kim Ji-yeon remained undeterred.

"Oppa, just ask me if you need anything."

Chen Hengyi shook his head helplessly, finished eating, and left immediately.

He drove off in one of Kim Ji-yeon's cars towards the border between North and South Korea, near the 38th parallel.

Fortunately, South Korea is not a large country, so Chen Hengyi did not spend too long to reach his destination.

The rain stopped at that moment.

-

He parked his car in front of a seemingly lifeless mountain.

There was a mountain road ahead, locked by an iron gate, which prohibited unauthorized personnel from going there. This was the Park family's private territory.

However, none of this could stop him. Chen Hengyi simply leaped across and was already on the mountain path.

Before even reaching the mountain, he only sensed that the place was deathly still.

When he actually entered this place, he could even feel that the spiritual energy of the entire mountain had vanished, leaving no trace of life.

Grabbing a handful of soil from the ground, I sniffed it and was struck by a faint stench of decay, as if countless microorganisms had died inside, and every crevice in the soil was filled with corpses.

"This feels like I've trespassed into a forbidden area," Chen Hengyi muttered to himself, continuing forward.

Just as they reached the halfway point of the mountain, several green, beastly eyes suddenly lit up from the bushes on both sides. A quick glance revealed that they were several foxes!

Chen Hengyi continued walking forward, and just as he was about to reach the top of the mountain, more and more foxes appeared around him. These foxes were not afraid of people and stayed only two meters away from him.

Each fox watched him silently, without making any noise or unnecessary movements, simply following Chen Hengyi all the way to the top of the mountain.

Upon reaching the summit, the deathly atmosphere intensified. Although pine trees grew nearby, the ground was covered only withered yellow weeds.

The original grave site has already been dug up, and now there is only a burial pit.

Chen Hengyi did not enter the pit; instead, he turned back to look at the foxes around him.

"Hey, you've been watching for so long, aren't you going to say anything?"

When Chen Hengyi questioned the foxes, they didn't move at all, until he asked the next question.

"Qi Shun'ai, your Buddhist name is Qi Shun'ai, is that right? If you don't come out and stop me now, I'm going to climb to the top of Mount Fuji soon and drive a nail into your dragon vein."

"After all, you like it this way, right?"

Chen Hengyi chuckled and muttered to himself, as if he were talking about something trivial. But the next moment, the foxes around him suddenly fell silent and then all looked up.

With a casual flick of his wrist, Chen Hengyi summoned Hua Guang's Demon-Subduing Golden Spear.

He waved the golden spear in his hand, and it burst into flames, illuminating the entire hilltop.

At the same time, the surrounding foxes seemed to sense something and turned to run away.

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Hengyi unleashed a devastating attack, a fan-shaped flame swiftly sweeping past the fleeing fox.

"You bastard, trying to run now? Too late, hiding behind my back?"

While Chen Hengyi was speaking, he had already turned back to sweep the area. The fox in the other direction had not been able to escape far at all. In the blink of an eye, it was engulfed in flames and turned into a charred mess while howling.

The next second, Chen Hengyi threw it suddenly.

A fox that was lucky enough to escape the flames was pinned to the ground, howling and chattering incessantly.

Chen Hengyi strode over, looked at the still-alive fox before him, and couldn't help but sneer, "Do you remember how you were defeated decades ago? Doesn't it look remarkably like you running away in disarray today?"

"Ever since that incident, you've been kneeling down and acting like dogs for others, haven't you?"

"What, still here guarding the dragon vein? Are you acting as a watchdog for the eagle?"

Upon hearing this, the struggling fox suddenly stopped.

The next moment, the fox opened its mouth and spoke in Japanese, its tone furious: "Damn Chinese, you'll die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fox died instantly on the spot. Chen Hengyi got up and looked around; all the foxes around him were also dead.

Knowing that the fox behind it all would come looking for him, Chen Hengyi was actually in a good mood.

It's just that in the original storyline, even after it had ended, this dead fox never showed up on his own.

This time, he only cursed twice on his own initiative, but he couldn't hold back anymore.

fair enough.

No matter what, it's still easier than finding a hidden old relic in the vast sea of ​​people.
