Oh no! I've been reincarnated as a corpse!

"????!!!"

Senior Brother Wang and Junior Brother Li were completely dumbfounded.

They stared blankly at Qin Shimei's headless corpse, their expressions utterly bewildered.

what?

What happened?

How did Junior Sister Qin's head just disappear by itself?

The person who was standing there perfectly fine just a moment ago, suddenly vanished from the neck up into thin air the next second?

Just then, they saw a figure slowly emerge behind Junior Sister Qin.

It looked as if it had grown out of thin air.

Ragged clothes, a dirty face, and pale skin.

It was Lu You!

Lu You himself was a little surprised.

I didn't expect the whole process to go so smoothly.

He draped himself in a dark, veiled robe and silently approached the woman surnamed Qin from behind, without her noticing at all.

She didn't have time to react until his fist landed squarely on the back of her head.

The feeling was like hitting a stationary wooden stake.

It truly lives up to its name as the Taiyin Huishuo Sha.

This level of treasure is truly amazing.

A sneak attack is fun for a moment, and a constant sneak attack is even more fun.

Although surprised, Lu You did not stand there dumbfounded.

He immediately bent down and took off the two bags hanging from Qin's waist.

The movements were both quick and precise.

He recognized one of the pockets; he had seen her use it before. It was a bag used to hold corpse puppets.

The other pocket is embroidered with a similar pattern to the first pocket, but it is more delicate and intricate.

Lu You guessed that this must be the legendary storage bag, a spatial artifact used by cultivators to store all sorts of random things.

"roar!"

A deep roar suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a foul stench swept in from the side, carrying the nauseating smell of rotting flesh and blood.

Lu You didn't even raise his head, but instead lowered his head and shrank down.

A sharp claw covered in grayish-white bone armor whistled past his head, narrowly missing his scalp. The force was so great that the resulting air pressure made his scalp tingle.

He took several steps back to create distance.

It was that corpse puppet surnamed Qin that attacked him.

With the death of Junior Sister Qin, the control spells she cast on the corpse puppet completely failed.

Having lost its master, the bone-armored monster instantly went berserk.

When its claws failed to strike Lu You, it immediately stopped paying attention to him and instead tore Qin Shimei's headless corpse into pieces, with blood and flesh flying everywhere and internal organs spilling all over the ground.

Then it lowered its head and began to devour the remains, making a sickening chewing sound.

From the moment Lu You punched Qin Shimei's head to the moment the corpse puppet went out of control and began to devour her body, the whole process took only a breath.

But Senior Brother Wang, being an experienced cultivator, reacted immediately.

His expression was initially one of shock; anyone would be stunned to see their junior sister die so inexplicably right before their eyes.

Then it quickly turned into ferocious rage.

"You wretched creature, you're courting death! How dare you attack and kill a cultivator from my White Cloud Temple?!"

He formed hand seals, his spiritual power surging within him, and immediately took over the small Yin Wind Formation that Junior Sister Qin had set up.

The battle flags are still planted in the ground; once activated, the eerie winds will completely seal off this area.

No matter how fast the zombie can run, it won't be able to escape easily.

However, as soon as he took control of the formation, he saw Lu You's body suddenly disappear right before his eyes.

It wasn't about moving quickly, nor was it about using any kind of trickery.

It means to disappear completely and utterly.

It's like a drop of water evaporating into the air.

Senior Brother Wang and Junior Brother Li beside him both widened their eyes in shock.

Where are they??

Junior Brother Li felt a chill run down his spine, a cold sensation on the back of his neck.

He quickly moved closer to Senior Brother Wang, wishing he could stick his whole body to him.

"Senior brother, where did this wretched child go?!"

Senior Brother Wang's face was also very ugly, as gloomy as the bottom of a pot.

But he reacted immediately.

With a change of hand seals, a dark gray wind howled out, sweeping out in all directions from the center of Junior Sister Qin's corpse.

Since he's invisible, let's use area-of-effect attacks to force him out.

However, the cold wind swept through the area near Qin Shimei's corpse, even blowing the sand and stones on the ground into the air, but the figure of the living corpse still did not appear.

Senior Brother Wang's face darkened.

Area attacks are ineffective.

He immediately made the second choice.

He controlled the yin wind to roll back, forming a ring of wind around him and Junior Brother Li, enveloping the two of them.

His voice was low and urgent: "Junior Brother Li, something's wrong with this wretch. This mere living corpse possesses an invisibility ability similar to a wandering spirit. Be careful not to get attacked from behind!"

Junior Brother Li nodded repeatedly, his face as white as paper, and he almost shrank into Senior Brother Wang's shadow.

Senior Brother Wang took a deep breath and cautiously scanned his surroundings.

A chilling wind swirled around him, spreading outwards every few breaths, trying to detect any unusual movement.

At the same time, he also controlled his four-armed corpse puppet, making it stand behind him as a shield.

Junior Sister Qin was attacked from behind; he must not repeat the same mistake.

He glanced at the corpse puppet that was devouring Qin Shimei's flesh and blood.

This thing is also a problem.

Junior Sister Qin's corpse puppet lost its master and went completely berserk.

It's currently busy gnawing on its former owner's corpse and doesn't have time to pay attention to anyone else.

But once it finishes gnawing on the corpse, it will inevitably turn its attention to him and Junior Brother Li, who are still alive.

At that time, he would have to guard against the elusive living corpse and deal with the rampaging corpse puppet.

Besieged on both sides, attacked from both sides.

No, that's too dangerous!

He made a quick decision and shouted, "Use the talisman and leave now!"

Junior Brother Li nodded quickly.

He had wanted to run away for a long time; he didn't want to stay in this godforsaken place for even a second longer. But since his senior brother hadn't given the order, he didn't dare to move on his own.

Hearing his senior brother say this, he hurriedly took out two talismans from his storage bag and frantically activated them.

A pale white aura glowed around him, forming a semi-transparent protective layer.

At the same time, a gentle breeze wrapped around his legs, making him feel much lighter.

The Swiftness Talisman and the Aura Shield Talisman are the standard escape package.

Senior Brother Wang next to him also put the same talisman on himself.

"Walk!"

With a wave of his hand, several battle flags planted around him rose from the ground and flew back into his hand.

Then he and his junior brother Li ran off into the distance without looking back, as fast as two startled rabbits.

At this moment, Lu You was less than ten steps away from Senior Brother Wang and Junior Brother Li.

He stood outside the wall of yin wind, watching the two figures disappear into the distance, but did not chase after them.

It's not that he doesn't want to.

The yin energy in his body is no longer sufficient.

The invisibility effect of Taiyin Huishuo Sha is indeed amazing, but its consumption is also quite astonishing.

He had just stealthily approached and killed Junior Sister Qin, and then maintained his stealth to avoid Senior Brother Wang's Yin Wind search. After this whole process, the Yin energy in his body was almost depleted.

Maintaining stealth was already difficult enough, let alone launching another sneak attack.

Even if those two hadn't escaped, Lu You planned to retreat first and wait for a chance to take revenge later.

Anyway, he already knew the origins of these two guys: Baiyun Temple.

You can run away from the monk, but you can't run away from the temple.

Once his cultivation level improves further and his Yin energy becomes more abundant, he can easily wait outside the White Cloud Temple for those two guys.

Although it sounds a bit like a perverted stalker, they're already planning to turn him into a corpse puppet, so what's wrong with him holding a grudge?

This was legitimate self-defense!

Lu You immediately turned around and ran quickly in the opposite direction from Senior Brother Wang and Junior Brother Li.

Perhaps because the entrance to the grotto had disappeared, the thick white mist that permeated the surroundings also began to dissipate rapidly.

The field of vision became clearer and clearer, no longer just a white expanse when you reached out your hand as before.

After running a distance, Lu You put the Taiyin Huishuo Sha away from his body and put it back into his sea of ​​consciousness.

With the cessation of activating the Taiyin Huishuo Sha, the Yin energy within his body finally stopped being rapidly depleted.

At the same time, the withered branches of the laurel tree in his sea of ​​consciousness began to absorb the Yin energy that was wandering in the surrounding world, replenishing his energy consumption little by little.

Although the replenishment speed is not particularly fast, it is continuous, like a phone plugged into a slow charging cable, with the battery gradually increasing.

Lu You stopped and looked around.

The desolate mass graves stretched as far as the eye could see, with countless corpses scattered on the black soil.

The sky in the distance remained a gloomy, leaden gray, with a few crows circling low overhead, occasionally letting out a few hoarse cries.

He was a little confused.

Last time, he randomly chose a direction to walk in, and before he had gone far, he encountered three cultivators from Baiyun Temple, and was almost turned into a figurine on the spot.

This caused Lu You to seriously doubt his own luck.

Will we run into some kind of weird thing again?

However, he was unfamiliar with this strange place and really didn't know which way to go.

There was no navigation, no map, and no landmarks to refer to.

Lu You sighed helplessly.

Whatever, do whatever you want.

Anyway, there's no point in thinking about it anymore, so I'm too lazy to think about it any further.

He closed his eyes and spun around in place.

When you stop, walk in the direction you are facing.

The mass grave is very large.

It was much larger than Lu You had imagined.

Even at his current mid-stage zombie speed, it took him several hours to finally reach the edge of the mass grave, even at full speed.

According to the Baiyun Temple monk, this place was originally a battlefield.

No wonder there are so many corpses.

Lu You didn't know if the original owner of this body was a soldier in this war.

But none of that matters anymore.

The person is dead, and he is no longer the same person he was before.

His former identity, experiences, and grudges have nothing to do with him anymore.

He is now Lu You.

A living corpse that crawled out of a mass grave.

That's it.

Beyond the mass grave lies a desolate plain.

The gray land stretched out in all directions, with only a few clumps of withered yellow grass growing sparsely.

In the distance, the outline of a forest can be vaguely seen, and further on, there are rolling mountains, their dark green bodies appearing silent and ancient under the gloomy sky.

After thinking for a moment, Lu You decided to head towards the mountains.

Find a quiet, secluded place in the mountains, cultivate diligently, and improve your strength first.

Although I am now a corpse, at least I can cultivate immortality.

Flying through the sky and burrowing underground, turning rivers and seas upside down—who wouldn't love that?

In my past life, I could only experience these things in novels and games. Now that I have the chance to try them out myself, I might as well give it a shot.

His goal was simple: first, cultivate to become a cursed corpse.

As for the realm beyond the cursed corpse, he didn't know if he could even manage it.

After all, he only had the foundational section, "Shuoyue Yinqi Pian," at the very beginning of the "Xiantian Taiyin Yuanchu Huishuo Lunhui Dadao Jing," and no subsequent cultivation methods.

To even get the basics of such a top-tier skill is incredibly lucky, like winning the lottery.

We'll talk about the rest later.

all will be good.

In her past life, Lu You wanted too much; she wanted to grasp everything and was unwilling to let go of anything.

As a result, he worked like a workhorse, putting in more overtime than anyone else. In the end, he overworked himself, suffered a heart attack, and passed away at a young age.

He plans to change the way he lives this life.

A little bit of salted fish.

Let things take their course.

Being happy is the most important thing.

Lu You traversed the wilderness and entered the forest.

The forest was quiet, with only the occasional bird call coming from overhead.

Sunlight filters through the layers of tree canopy, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

He did not encounter any humans along the way.

We did see quite a few wild animals, though.

The hare darted out of the bushes, and upon seeing him, it turned and ran away as if it had seen a ghost.

The wolf smelled his scent from afar, tucked its tail between its legs, and slunk away.

There was even a rather large tiger that was sunbathing on a rock. When it sensed his approach, it jumped off the rock and disappeared into the depths of the forest without looking back, running faster than a rabbit.

Lu You was somewhat frustrated.

He must have been quite popular with small animals in his past life.

Stray cats in the neighborhood would come up to him on their own when they saw him, and my friend's golden retriever would wag its tail like a helicopter when it saw him.

It's rare to see a lively tiger in the wild these days, and he was planning to go over and pet it for a bit.

As a result, they were rejected.

The tiger looked at him as if he were some kind of ferocious beast.

...Okay, he is indeed a corpse now, and in some ways more frightening than a wild beast.

Deep in the forest, Lu You discovered a river.

The river water was crystal clear, shimmering in the afternoon sun.

The riverbed was covered with smooth pebbles, and occasionally a few small fish would swim leisurely by.

Without saying a word, Lu You jumped into the river.

Although he can no longer smell his own scent and his sense of touch is much weaker than when he was alive, he has still spent so much time in a mass grave, lying on piles of corpses, crawling through blood and mud, and even being embraced by a fused corpse demon.

He always felt sticky and uncomfortable all over.

You won't know until you wash it, and once you do, you'll be shocked.

Lu You rubbed off handfuls of blood, mud, and black debris of unknown origin from his body.

The clear river water was stained murky by him, as if someone had poured a bucket of ink into it.

He washed it three times before he felt it was barely clean.

Unfortunately, there was no shower gel or shampoo.

As Lu You rubbed the remaining stains off her arms, she reminisced about the beauty of modern life.

Lying in an air-conditioned room, sipping an ice-cold soda, scrolling through short videos, reading novels, and playing games—that's what life is all about.

Unlike here, where you can't find anything you want.

After barely managing to wash himself clean, Lu You squatted by the river and looked down at the water.

The river water has regained its clarity, like a natural mirror.

For the first time, he saw what he looked like after he had traveled through time.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

His skin was deathly pale, completely devoid of color; it was obvious at a glance that he wasn't a normal person.

But this modeling is simply too authoritative.

Her facial features are clean and sharp, with slightly raised bones and eyebrows that have a natural upward curve at the ends, making her face look both aggressive and elegant.

His eyes were deep and dark, like two bottomless pools, with a faint silver light flickering in his pupils.

His eyebrows were long and sharp, as if they had been cut with a knife, exuding an innate sharpness.

However, at this moment, his eyelids were drooping, and he looked lazy, which suppressed most of his sharp aura. Instead, he looked more languid and casual, like a young nobleman who had just gotten out of bed on an afternoon and hadn't fully woken up yet.

The bridge of his nose is high and straight, forming a perfect straight line when viewed from the side.

The lips are thin and well-defined, with the corners of the mouth naturally upturned. Even though they are not smiling, there is a kind of sinister, ambiguous smile about them.

This is a face so handsome it's almost otherworldly.

He was like a sickly nobleman who had stepped out of a painting, or an immortal who was ignorant of the ways of the world, exuding a sense of alienation that did not belong to this world.

Lu You stared at his reflection on the water, feeling numb.

I go!

Am I really that handsome?

Is this the legendary masterpiece of Nuwa, showcasing her skills?

He must have seen quite a few handsome men on the internet in his past life.

I've seen all sorts of people, from top male celebrities in the entertainment industry to beauty bloggers on short video platforms who make a living off their looks.

But to be frank, none of those people's faces look as good as his now.

Whether it's the refinement of their facial features or their overall demeanor, they're a whole level below.

Soon, a surge of immense grief and indignation welled up in Lu You's heart.

Why didn't I have this model in my past life?

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary-looking man with regular features, the kind of face that you wouldn't notice in a crowd.

Forget about making a living off your looks; you even have to spend half an hour editing your selfies before posting them on social media.

If I had such authoritative modeling skills in my past life, I could just start a live stream and become a beauty streamer, and money would just flow into my pocket like water.

Why bother working overtime until the early hours every day, only to burn yourself out in the end?

This is a face that looks like God has been feeding you!

pity.

What a pity.

Lu You sighed, stood up from the water's edge, and vigorously shook the water droplets off her hair.

Forget it, the past is the past.

Although my life started off badly, at least I have a top-tier modeled face and I've obtained three fragments of the Taiyin Treasure.

I suppose we've evened things out, albeit to some extent.
