Folklore simulation, starting with the mortician

"Liang Daozi had approached me before, offering to take care of this business for him, but I thought it wasn't the right time, so I sent your fellow apprentices instead. They're all fearless and value their lives very little. I thought there might be one or two who would be hypocritical, but they all ended up dead..."

"Only after hearing your words, and thinking about your fear of death, did I realize I had found the right person. So I went ahead on my own. Now that you see this note, I'm probably done for. But if I'm done for, there has to be a reason for it."

"Kid, if you had listened to Liang Daozi, you probably wouldn't have survived the night. It's simple, the ghosts are coming to claim your life. What he said wasn't wrong, but he didn't tell the whole story. If you take this job, you're making a deal with the dead, let alone a vicious one."

"Do you know who that man is? He's a big scoundrel. A while ago, the Milky Way was churned with huge waves, drowning many people. Wasn't that his doing? Do you think he can die in peace?"

"So, I'll show you the way. I've left you a green coin and a method for sewing up a murderer. Don't use this method on the murderer, but use it on me. If you sew it up completely, I guarantee your life will be safe and you'll even have enough to eat."

"We've explained the reasoning to you. That group wanted to retrieve some kind of ascension method from the Milky Way, but they couldn't afford to pay with their lives. When the other party demanded payment for their lives, they had no choice but to offer their own..."

"That Liang Daozi is really unethical. His own family has too much of a bloody reputation for executioners, and the karma is too heavy, so he wants to drag us down with him so that his son can also have a successor. That's how this story came about. Of course, I also want to make it clear to you that you should always leave room for maneuver and never go too far."

Looking at the contents of the note, Li Feng felt a chill run down his spine. Luckily, he hadn't easily agreed to Liang Zhong's request, otherwise he would have been in serious trouble tonight.

Holding the two Qingfu coins left by his master in his hand, Li Feng felt they were incredibly light. He never imagined that what he had saved here was his life, but he didn't know how they differed from the Qingfu coins he had obtained in the simulator.

Having no other thoughts at the moment, he simply began to learn the art of sewing.

I was shocked to find that the secret technique left by my master was different from the one I had received.

It's as if the master deliberately held back a trick.

"Good heavens, this is something they'll take to their grave even when they die..."

Li Feng shook his head, but he didn't care about it too much and decided to settle the matter tonight.

But soon he realized something was wrong. Corpse sculptors have a rule: they must sew corpses at night, because night is yin, which allows the corpse to have a way out.

But this matter is different now. It involves sewing up a cursed object. The method for sewing up a cursed object specifically states that an auspicious time must be chosen, and it is not necessary to follow the rules.

This must be the exact afternoon hour, when the yang energy is at its peak, then the ominous sign of misfortune will not be so pronounced.

If the evil spirit were sewn up at that time, it might be impossible for the evil corpse to rise.

With this thought in mind, Li Feng disregarded everything else and simply slept soundly. He waited until dawn the next day before getting up and going to the morgue in the west wing to prepare to sew up the corpse.

Good heavens, Master's body got quite dirty overnight, and a stench was wafting into my nostrils. Fortunately, Li Feng had prepared in advance and lit an incense stick beside him, which immediately reduced the smell considerably.

The methods of stitching up the murderous and stitching up the corpse are different, and there is a distinction between minor stitching up the murderous and major stitching up the murderous. The former stitches up something inauspicious, while the latter stitches up something extremely evil.

According to Li Feng's idea, the corpse of the Stitch Master should at least be treated with the Great Stitching Murder Method.

The needles and thread used in this great burial method are different from those used in the corpse-sewing method; it uses dragon bone needles and yin-path threads.

The needle must be placed at the seven star positions, and the thread must be locked at the three gates.

Of course, there are also these two green coins; the master gave me some instructions about them.

However, when putting it into his master's mouth, Li Feng secretly switched to one he had previously obtained from the simulator.

Every step is extremely dangerous; a moment's carelessness could provoke its ferocity and lead to a terrible fate.

Fortunately, Li Feng possessed a simulator and had inherited his master's life's work. When using this Great Sewing Technique, he moved the needle without the slightest hesitation or sluggishness.

In just a short while, the master's body was stitched up completely. He didn't use the master's skills at all, but used all the skills that had been left behind. Li Feng couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

It was noon, and the body that the master had stitched up seemed to be holding its breath, trying to get up but unable to. It was stuck in its many orifices, and it walked back and forth seven times before it finally calmed down.

Li Feng had just finished sewing up his master's body and hadn't yet thought about going out to inform the various households of his spirit.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the house. Li Feng was about to go out to greet them when he saw the servant who had come from the Sun family earlier arrive at the temple gate, panting heavily.

Seeing Li Feng emerge, she hurriedly grabbed him, shouting frantically, "Little Master! Little Master! Come with us quickly! Something terrible has happened in the village!"

Li Feng was completely bewildered. He pulled his hand away from the servant's, saying, "Don't rush, it's hot. Have some tea to cool down..."

The servant dared not waste any more time with Li Feng, and hurriedly said, "Young master, we can't delay any longer! Someone's dead! A whole family's dead! Oh my!"

"Which family are they from?!"

Li Feng was even more confused and hesitant.

"What other family could it be? The master craftsman went to sew the Sun family's clothes a few days ago, and they were all dead. Fifteen people, from top to bottom, were killed. Even the county government sent people over, and the coroner waved his hands, saying it was extremely eerie, like a ghost had haunted the house..."

Li Feng frowned slightly, but was startled. He hadn't expected the karmic retribution to come so quickly. He had just finished sewing up the corpse when the Sun family caught up with him.

"Come with me quickly, the officials in the county government are impatient. If this gets out of hand, we can't afford the consequences!"

Just as the servant was about to pull Li Feng away, they saw a large group of people approaching. The leader wasn't a yamen runner; he was leading a group of people pushing several mule carts.

The mule carts were all covered with straw mats, and at this hour, the stench wafted over from afar, followed by a number of wild dogs digging up graves.

"this?"

Li Feng was stunned. Before he could speak, the leading constable covered his nose and said, "Which one is the one who stitches up the corpse?"

Li Feng hurriedly stepped forward to agree.

The constable then spoke, "There are fifteen corpses of the Sun family here, as well as the executioner Liang Daozi and his family from the yamen. Collect their bodies."

Before Li Feng could even process his thoughts, the servant was already trembling with fear, his face pale. "Oh my god, it's like the King of Hell is on my deathbed! I should have known better than to take this terrible job..."

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

After saying this, the servant spat out saliva and bled from his seven orifices. He was about to kowtow to Li Feng, but he stopped breathing halfway down his knees.

The constable who witnessed this scene also changed his expression drastically. He glanced at Li Feng warily, and his previous arrogant attitude immediately diminished. He respectfully handed Li Feng a silver coin and flattered him, saying, "Please keep a close eye on things, Master. We'll report back first..."

Seeing these changes, Li Feng was shocked. Had he used too much force and sent the whole family away?!
