From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Li Muxuan naturally guessed Jiang Liu's worries.

"Ah."

Jiang Liu nodded. "Although Uncle Jiu said that the idea that zombies will drink the blood of their closest relatives as soon as they are resurrected is nonsense and just something a novelist would say, I think that since that feng shui master spent so many years refining a zombie demon, he must want to take revenge on Ren Fa. We must be careful."

"Brother Jiang, don't worry, we'll go find Miss Jia Ting right away."

Lu Jin's gaze was serious.

Although their escort mission was over, as disciples of the Xuanmen sect, how could they stand by and watch someone die? They didn't know the specifics of Ren Fa's character, but based on their interactions over the past few days, he wasn't exactly a heartless rich man; he was just stubborn and would resort to coercive methods to achieve his goals.

This is a common problem among wealthy people.

Compared to Huang Silang of Goose City, Ren Faming is clearly a great philanthropist!

"Then I'll leave this place to you."

That's all.

Jiang Liu leaped onto the roof and headed towards the county government office, but he didn't see a single person. He also couldn't detect anyone in the county government office by relying on his magnetic induction.

There wasn't a single person there.

【Is Sister Hua not here either?】

Jiang Liu pondered for a moment, wondering if Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng had overplayed their hand, sneaking into the county government office to find Sister Hua for fun, and then accidentally letting her escape...

So he leaped onto the roof, his eyes scanning the surroundings and his ears listening intently. Using the Qimen technique within him, he employed the method of "seeing all things," sensing the remaining Qi and finding a clue. He immediately followed that clue.

After traveling three or five miles, leaving Renjia Town, they arrived at a hillside, stepped into the woods, and heard sounds of fighting and shouting. Jiang Liu immediately followed the sound.

After passing through the woods, they came to a meadow. Peeking out, Jiang Liu saw Lin Jiu, Wen Cai, and Qiu Sheng.

They were surrounded by more than thirty corpses.

Not far away, Sister Hua was ringing a bell, controlling the corpse to attack the three people.

Lin Jiu was not afraid of these useless corpses, but the key was to take care of Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng, these two burdens, which made him somewhat constrained.

Or perhaps out of respect for the deceased, Lin Jiu dared not use too much force when attacking the corpses.

Jiang Liu found his target, waved his hand, and his magnetic field wrapped around the bell in Sister Hua's hand, then pulled hard.

Boom!

Sister Hua fell to the side, and the bell in her hand flew away and landed in Jiang Liu's hand.

Without the sound of the bells, the corpses also stopped moving.

"Perfect timing!"

Seeing Jiang Liu approach, Lin Jiu was overjoyed. He leaped out of the encirclement of corpses, placed a knee on Hua Jie's back to bind her arms, took out a talisman and pressed it against the back of her neck to seal her Qi circulation. Then he pulled out a rope and tied her arms.

After finishing all this, Lin Jiu turned around and saw Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng emerging from the pile of corpses. He was furious and scolded, "Look at the two of you in such a sorry state! You never work hard and always try to slack off. Now you're in trouble! You can't even handle some corpses that have recently been infected with the corpse worm!"

Wen Cai stammered, "Master, haven't you never fought before?"

"I'm afraid of breaking them!"

Lin Jiu shouted and cursed.

Judging from the clothes these corpses are dressed in, they must have been rich and powerful people in life. They must have been wealthy landowners or merchants from Renjia Town and some nearby villages. If he really used his strength and smashed them to pieces, their descendants would talk about them behind their backs!

It will affect the business of the mortuary!

"Ninth Uncle."

Jiang Liu handed over the bell.

Lin Jiu shook the bell, and the thirty-odd corpses jumped up and lined up in a row, which was quite magical.

He explained, "This is actually a way of controlling the corpse gu with sound. Only beginners and those with extremely poor talent in this field would do this. Anyone who can open the Ren and Du meridians can use Qi to drive the corpse."

However, I don't practice Gu cultivation, and my own Qi cannot control the Corpse Gu; I still need to use this thing to control it.

The Shangqing lineage of Maoshan cultivates life force, not Gu poison. To control corpses, they can only rely on the methods of others. Lin Jiu opened a mortuary near Renjia Town and often deals with corpses, so he also knows how to use bells to control the corpse Gu poison.

Even ordinary people can learn this method; they only need to ring a bell to produce a specific rhythm.

"Uncle Jiu, I came to see you because there's something else. Old Master Ren's corpse has become a demon!"

Jiang Liu relayed everything Lu Jin had said: "It is strong, has high defense, strong recovery, and fast speed. It has already fled into the woods and we don't know where it went."

Upon hearing this, Lin Jiu tossed the bell in his hand to Qiu Sheng, instructing him to drive the corpse to the mortuary. He then handed the bound Hua Jie to Wen Cai, warning him not to let her escape again. He then grabbed Jiang Liu's hand and quickly ran towards the mortuary.

He wants to confirm it himself!

Arriving outside the mortuary, seeing the broken trees and shattered stones, Lin Jiu hurriedly kicked open the door and found the empty coffin.

"That doesn't make sense!"

“I pierced his glabella with a golden needle, and to be on the safe side, I also pierced his crown chakra. This should have destroyed his life force. At that time, most of his yin energy was dissipated. There is no reason why he could still be alive, let alone become a demon.”

Lin Jiu murmured something, but quickly cleared his mind of distractions. Suddenly remembering something, he said to Jiang Liu, "Let's go!"

"Where?"

"The burial site of Old Master Ren!"

Lin Jiu had already rushed out of the mortuary and explained to Jiang Liu, who was following closely behind, "It seems that the feng shui master also went there to investigate, and he must be planning to feed the last yin spirit to that corpse demon!"

Those eight yin spirits also benefited from that auspicious place. If the eight spirits were to truly unite as one, they might truly receive the blessing of the 'Kui Star descending to earth'!

At that time, the effectiveness of our methods against it will be reduced to a minimum, and we will have no choice but to fight it to the death with our cultivation!

But its body is harder than iron or stone!

Jiang Liu's expression also became slightly serious. After all, the corpse demon's body was an inanimate object, not a living being. It was not a wise move to waste energy on it!

# Chapter 101 Kui Xing, the Grandfather!

When Jiang Liu followed Lin Jiu to the burial site of Old Master Ren, and found the only grave where the spirit of Dong Xiaoyu still lingered, Dong Xiaoyu's spirit had already disappeared without a trace.

"Oh no, I'm too late!"

Seeing that the ghost was gone, Lin Jiu's expression tightened.

"But it seems like no one has been around here."

Using one of the four methods of the innate talisman, "All Things Are Illuminated," Jiang Liu did not detect the presence of anyone else in the area. He frowned slightly, "There is also the possibility that it dissipated naturally."

"That is indeed possible."

Lin Jiu calmed down, observed the terrain, sensed the wind direction, and noticed a subtle change in the aura. "Now, this aura... those yin spirits have become ghosts!"

Upon hearing the word "ghost," Jiang Liu was taken aback and quickly asked, "Ghost?"

When a person dies, their soul is destroyed. However, due to certain special circumstances, a part of the soul may remain, but it is filled with yin energy and lacks any intelligence.

"Yes, a ghost."

Lin Jiu went down the mountain, explaining to Jiang Liu who was following closely beside him as he ran, "Generally speaking, after a person dies, the soul will dissipate and return to nature. Even if a part of it is retained, it is a muddled and confused spirit that can only be driven by people. Some people also call it a spirit body, which has no intelligence."

But ghosts are also real.

Perhaps because many spirits devour each other under the influence of a special energy field, they become one, piecing together memories and completing their wisdom, but they are generally unable to leave the corresponding energy field.

Or perhaps someone's lingering attachments after death have clung to a certain treasure, thus preserving their wisdom.

Jiang Liu felt that the former was somewhat like a bound spirit.

the latter--

Jiang Liu then thought of a sword: the demon sword Hirumaru.

"I reckon the feng shui master who set up this formation never expected that after the energy flow changed, it would actually become a place for raising ghosts."

Lin Jiu continued, "Of those eight Yin spirits, seven were infused into the corpse demon. The last one must have absorbed a small portion of the other Yin spirits to complete its memories and thus regain its intelligence."

But it's impossible for her to remember everything from when she was alive; her intelligence is very different from that of a normal person, and she would likely be driven by her obsession.

"So, that spirit will do things related to its obsession?"

For some reason, Jiang Liu recalled the scene in "Mr. Vampire" where Qiu Sheng encounters a ghost—that Dong Xiaoyu is a "lustful" woman!

But isn't she similar to a bound spirit?

and many more!

Although the burial site of Old Master Ren is some distance from Renjia Town, the feng shui of this place is indeed somewhat related to the prosperity of the people and livestock in Renjia Town. Theoretically, the area that Dong Xiaoyu can travel to is probably quite wide...

At the same time.

Qiu Sheng, who had already driven more than thirty corpses back to the mortuary, yawned after attaching a corpse-suppressing talisman to one of the bodies. He then said to Wen Cai, "Tie up this woman, gag her, and send her back to the county office tomorrow to avoid us getting into legal trouble."

"Aren't you staying?"

Wencai didn't know when his master would return. He wasn't afraid of corpses, after all, he was taciturn and sometimes even dozed off on the coffin. But he was a little worried about having to watch over Sister Hua alone. "It's so late, you might encounter ghosts, right?"

“I’m not used to sleeping in a mortuary.”

With that, Qiu Sheng lit an incense stick, walked out of the mortuary gate, bowed to both sides, then stuck it in front of his bicycle, straddled it, and said, "Let's go, ha~"

After saying that, he yawned again, mounted his bike, and drove off onto the forest path.

They had only ridden a short distance when, in the shadows, a wedding procession of seven or eight people with fair skin, rosy cheeks, and dressed in red, appeared, carrying a red sedan chair.

A ghost marries a man!

Ordinary people who haven't attained Qi generally can't see it.

Qiusheng—

They can't be seen now either.

Although he had obtained Qi and opened up the Ren and Du meridians, officially embarking on the path of Qi cultivation, he was half-hearted during his cultivation. Now, it was late at night, he was yawning repeatedly, feeling tired and his eyes were blurry. He was not practicing his internal energy and was just an ordinary person with strong Qi and blood, so he did not notice this scene.

At this moment, inside the red sedan chair, a bride dressed in red and wearing a red scarf lifted the curtain, gently leaped up, and quietly sat behind the bicycle that Qiu Sheng was riding.

The people who offered incense to the graves near where Old Master Ren was buried were Wencai and Qiusheng. The person who offered incense to this ghost bride was Qiusheng.

However, after the incense burned out, the person who pulled it out was Wencai.

The ghost bride had no interest in Wen Cai, so she naturally chose the handsome Qiu Sheng.
