The Corpse Driver of Western Hunan: My profession panel has no upper limit.
Chapter 27 Destroying the Corpse and Covering Up the Evidence, Heading to Anyang
In Lin Tianzheng's village, the shock in Ren Yang's eyes had not yet dissipated, and he even seemed to be showing signs of becoming a fanboy of Lu Jin.
Because Lu Jin was a few years older than him, he kept calling him "Brother Lu Jin".
"Brother Lu Jin, how did you train? You've reached such strength in less than two months."
"Effort, sweat, and extraordinary wisdom."
Ren Yang's expression hardened. He had also put in effort and sweat, but it seemed he lacked extraordinary wisdom.
Lin Tianzheng poured him a cup of tea, and they immediately began chatting and laughing. Ren Yang's request was also very clear: to transport his father's body to another location, a distance of about several dozen kilometers, referring to the journey of transporting the corpse.
One rule of corpse transport is to avoid crowds, so it can only be done in desolate wilderness and at night.
Lu Jin had to cross several mountains, and who knew what kind of ghosts and monsters lurked in those mountains.
"Brother Lu Jin, you may not know this, but my family did not have the custom of returning to one's roots at first. It started with my grandfather. Before he died, he consulted a feng shui master who said that there was a place behind our ancestral home with excellent feng shui. Burying him there would surely bless our descendants."
"As expected, after Master Lin drove my grandfather's corpse back for burial, my family's fortunes soared and we became very wealthy."
"So this time we'll have to trouble Master Lin and Brother Lu Jin. My family is willing to contribute 200 yuan."
Ren Yang made a "two" gesture, and Lin Tian was about to agree when Lu Jin interrupted him, feigning a melancholy expression, which made Ren Yang's heart skip a beat.
"300 silver dollars, plus another 50 to compensate the person I just injured."
"make a deal."
Seeing that Lu Jin readily agreed, Ren Yang was overjoyed. Although he didn't call Lin Tianzheng back, he had managed to get Lu Jin, this monster, over, which was enough to complete his mission.
Soon, he paid 300 silver dollars and offered 50 silver dollars as compensation. Because he trusted him, he did not pay a deposit in advance, and the money immediately shone brightly.
Lu Jin and the others calculated the distance. From Anyang County to Ren Yang's ancestral home, the journey would be quick and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, would take about one night.
Therefore, Lu Jin postponed the time.
"I will personally visit the Ren residence three days later."
"Three days," Ren Yang muttered, then thought for a moment. "Okay, that's a good time for us to hold a funeral for my father and make preparations at the ancestral home."
At this point, Ren Yang stood up, clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said, "Master Lin, Brother Lu Jin, I await good news at the Ren residence."
He had just stepped out when he encountered the clan chief, Eagle, who was rushing over. Seeing Ren Yang's expression, he knew that the deal had been reached and immediately appeared before Lu Jin and Lin Tianzheng.
"Tianzheng, Alu, how much is it?"
Before Lin Tianzheng could speak, Lu Jin quickly interjected, "Just like Ren Yang said at the village gate, 200 silver dollars, 50 as compensation."
"Very good. Remember to give a copy to the Miao village after it's done. The village is already starving."
After confirming that the clan leader, Eagle, had gone far away, Lin Tianzheng pointed at Lu Jin and said, "You're such a sly little devil. I'll talk to Jin Da about the 50 silver dollars in compensation. I should be able to keep quite a bit for you. You can take some with you when you go to Anyang County."
"I will purchase some blood-strengthening and spirit-nourishing medicine for you, as well as secret medicines to harmonize your will and strength, until you return safely."
"Master, you're not bad either."
"However, we should still help the Miao village."
Lu Jin shook his head. "It's not that I don't want to help, but I don't trust the clan leader."
Why?
This time, Lu Jin didn't explain. He had reduced the only son of the Eagle to ashes, so how could he possibly trust the Eagle?
Besides, in Lu Jin's heart, the eagle was already a dead man; he couldn't possibly keep such a dangerous enemy alive.
Lu Jin still vividly remembered the eagle's attitude of suspecting him of killing Xiong Yan.
...
After this incident, news spread quickly that Lu Jin was going to officially leave the Miao village to work as a corpse driver, and the reward was 200 silver dollars, enough for dozens of people in the Miao village to live on for a month.
Of course, they didn't mean they wanted Lu Jin's money, but rather that if Lu Jin started transporting corpses, life in the Miao village would be a little easier.
The increased taxes levied by the warlords were not enough to make them suffocate.
In no time, villagers from the Miao village brought food and other things to Lu Jin's house, doing their best to help.
For three days, Lu Jin did nothing else but practice martial arts and grind his character panel.
He didn't know how long he would be gone before returning, and Lin Tianzheng also had to go out to help him purchase medicinal herbs. Lu Jin couldn't leave the body of the red-clothed bride in the village. If it were discovered, his killing of the evil spirit of the red-clothed bride would be exposed.
In fact, Lu Jin wasn't afraid of the other people in the Miao village finding out; he was just worried about that guy named Cui Senming.
Regardless of whether it's true or false, or whether the person is still alive, minimizing the risk is always the right thing to do.
When he was in the Miao village, no one dared to trespass on his property without permission because of his status, but that might not be the case when he left.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. On the night before they were to depart for Anyang County, in a corner of the Miao village, Lu Jin and Lin Tian stood in front of the body of the bride in red.
"Ah Lu, why do you like studying corpses so much? They're almost completely rotten before you called me to deal with them."
"A hobby, Master, this means I have a connection with corpse drivers."
Upon hearing Lu Jin's explanation, Lin Tianzheng chuckled and pulled out a small medicine bottle from his body. "This is Bone-Dissolving Powder. It is extremely difficult to refine. Even your master didn't have much. A few drops will turn the corpse into blood and completely disappear into the world."
"That intense?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin removed a piece of the red-clad wedding attendant's dress, saying that since the red-clad bride had given him the face of her exquisite heart, he would leave some ashes for her as a memorial.
Since the ashes can't be kept now, let's keep the ashes of the clothes.
In an instant, a few drops of bone-dissolving powder fell from Lin Tianzheng's hand, and the red-clothed bride's corpse began to decompose with lightning speed. A moment later, it turned into blood and mixed into the ground, completely destroyed by Lu Jin.
"Here you go. Things outside are different from the Miao village. Be careful of everyone."
After Lin Tianzheng finished speaking, he realized that he had overthought things. It should be others who were careful of Lu Jin.
"Thank you, Master."
Lu Jin quickly put the bone-dissolving powder into his pocket, then burned the torn pieces of cloth into ashes, dug a small pit, piled up a small mound of earth, placed a few stones, and then made his retreat.
"There are no more corpses. After this corpse-transporting operation, I need to find a way to get a corpse back, and I also need to find a corpse that was strong when it was alive."
Under the moonlight, Lu Jin was lost in thought when the panel appeared before him. After several days of diligent training, his professional level had increased by another level.
Moreover, with the help of his exceptional intelligence and innate martial talent, his martial arts skills improved rapidly.
Even without enough nourishing and blood-strengthening medicines, his mental and physical unity stage was already extremely solid, and his strength had greatly improved.

"Hopefully, the next corpse will yield something even better."
Lu Jin looked up at the starry sky. He was no longer as afraid of this world as he had when he first arrived. Instead, he felt more anticipation and longing.
I've heard that beyond the Miao village, there are countless outstanding talents, like a vast array of stars.
Lu Jin wanted to see for himself.
The following day, Lu Jin slung the Soul-Suppressing Spear over his shoulder, packed his bags, and set off for Anyang amidst the cheers of countless villagers from the Miao village!
However, just after Lu Jin had gone a long way, Jiang Feng, the high priest's personal disciple who had been gone for many days, suddenly rushed out from the nearby mountains and forests. He was dressed in rags and looked extremely frightened.
In the village of High Priest Yang Changqing, Jiang Feng's lips trembled: "Master, Uncle Lin, Clan Chief, your disciple is not talented, but a few days ago I took on a job to find auspicious burial sites for a wealthy family."
"Then...then two big things happened to me."
"The dragon vein was severed, and... I saw the Faceless Yama. I fought with him and almost lost my life."
Jiang Feng's words startled Lin Tianzheng and the others. Jiang Feng was one of the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi, the Faceless Yama, but he had not followed the path of the ultimate Ming Jin. He was already a Xin Yi He Martial Master.
It looks like he was instantly killed by the Faceless Yama.
Where did you see it?
"Jade Dragon Mountain".
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianzheng's pupils constricted sharply. He remembered that Lu Jin's planned route for transporting corpses would pass through Jade Dragon Mountain.
"broken."
