Chapter 101 Raising a Corpse

Xu Yuanzhi and I asked in unison: "What's going on?"

"I found some utensils for alchemy at his house, and I also found this." As Mr. Huang said, he took out a palm-sized, square wooden box from his pocket and handed it to me.

This box is maroon red, engraved with patterns, antique, and is an old item.

After opening it, there was a stack of neatly folded old papers with fluffy corners inside.

"What is this?" I asked myself, touched the paper, and found it had a silk-like texture.

"Silk book!" Xu Yuanzhi was also surprised and urged me, "Open it quickly and see what is written on it!"

To be precise, this is a silk painting, which depicts a scene of men and women having sex, but I can't tell which dynasty the painting style is from. I blushed and my heart beat...

This old guy Li Yuanlong is really not serious. An old bachelor at such an old age still collects this stuff.

It’s true that Mr. Huang, how did he steal this thing?

I was guessing at the side, while Xu Yuanzhi lay on top and looked at each picture carefully, very seriously.

I couldn't stand it, so I teased him: "You are so old, but you are still interested in this thing?"

Xu Yuanzhi looked at it again, straightened up and slapped me on the back of the head: "You brat, you know nothing. Do you know what this is? This is a recipe about the art of collecting tonics."

I understood immediately, no wonder Li Yuanlong is almost a hundred years old, and his body is still as strong as that of a man in his thirties or forties!

"From this point of view, it is possible that Xiu'er was raped by an old bastard like Li Yuanlong. How could a person with magical powers care about human ethics and etiquette? Also, the ceremony we saw in the old house that day was

Didn't he make the medicine according to the prescription?"

Xu Yuanzhi nodded and agreed with me: "It is possible that he can use human blood to make medicine."

"Then should we get involved in this matter?" I asked.

"He kills people and hurts Tianhe. If we remove him, we can do justice to Tianhe. Moreover, when the thing under the old house is born, we will have one less powerful enemy. But we are not his opponents at all. This matter still needs to be done."

It's up to Mr. Huang and the others to take action, but if they take action, they will definitely alarm Sun Guanghe." Xu Yuanzhi said what he was worried about.

When I mentioned Sun Guanghe, I became very angry and said angrily: "Then we will remove Sun Guanghe as well, and then that thing will be ours."

Xu Yuanzhi glanced at me sideways: "For such a grown-up man, he has learned nothing but emotion. Don't forget, we still have to get information from him."

"Then what should we do?" I asked angrily.

At this time, Mr. Huang interjected: "Otherwise, we can take a chance and get rid of him without anyone noticing."

Xu Yuanzhi and I looked at each other and nodded silently.

"Then I'll take my leave first and go discuss this matter with Lao Chang."

After Mr. Huang left, Xu Yuanzhi turned off the light and got on the kang, turned over a few times, got up again and said, "Sun Guanghe hasn't come back yet. There must be something wrong. Let's go to the old house and have a look."

I nodded in agreement.

It was just after midnight, the deepest and quietest time of night. Xu Yuanzhi and I walked silently towards the old house by the moonlight.

"roar--"

When I was still a mile away from the old house, a loud roar came into my ears.

The sound sounded extremely clear, as if some kind of monster had been born.

"Coming out?" We both said in unison and couldn't help but quicken our pace.

After running about two hundred meters, I heard a fierce fight coming from the old house.

We both stopped immediately. With our skills, we couldn't do much in the past, so we might as well find a hidden place to understand the situation first.

So I broke off two thick branches on the roadside and gave one to Xu Yuan in case of emergency.

The two of us dived into the grass and groped forward for more than a hundred meters. We stopped at a place where we could clearly see the old house and looked forward.

I was shocked when I saw it. There were about twenty people walking over to the old house, fighting together.

These people all have extraordinary skills and are fighting in dire straits.

"Strange, when did these people come?" Master Hui has been wandering around the village these days, and he has never heard of any strangers entering the village?

Soon, I discovered the clues that these newcomers should be in a group. They were all dressed in the same white clothes, with disheveled hair, and were besieging several other people.

"Aren't those people Mr. Huang and the others?" Xu Yuanzhi looked at them for a while, then suddenly pointed at the melee scene for me to see.

I took a closer look and found that it was really Mr. Huang and Lao Chang. How come they were involved?

Those men in white clothes were extremely brave. They were not inferior at all when fighting against the two big monsters Huang Erye and Lao Chang. When they were knocked down, they immediately got up and rushed up again, with a life-threatening ferocity.

After looking at it again, Xu Yuanzhi suddenly sucked his teeth and said in surprise: "No, look at those people in white, they don't seem to be human!"

Not a human?

Xu Yuanzhi's words made me shiver for no reason, and I asked: "What is that?"

Xu Yuanzhi added: "You have also seen the skills of Mr. Huang and Lao Chang. How many times have those men in white been taken out? How come they don't even hum? They just rush up and don't know the pain at all, and their fighting ability

It hasn’t diminished at all, this is simply not an ability that humans can have!”

After he said this, I couldn't help but frown. It was really like this. Some people in white had their arms broken and were hanging on their sides, but they were still fighting. This is definitely not something that humans can do.

After getting along with Xu Yuanzhi for a long time, I have become very dependent on him. When something happens, I am too lazy to use my brain and always ask him habitually. At this moment, seeing his frown, he obviously didn't notice anything.

I started to think about it myself.

I have memorized all the Taoist classics by heart, but I never knew how to use them.

I searched quickly in my mind...

If they are not human and have a physical form, then they are definitely not ghosts. There is only one possibility for being non-human and non-ghost, they are "corpses".

The corpse can move, and there is only one possibility: corpse transformation.

But there are eighteen kinds of corpse transformations, which ones are they?

But no matter what kind of corpse transformation, it is impossible to transform so many at once. Now that there are so many appearing at the same time, there is only one situation: someone is raising corpses!

It is said that there are still many corpse-keeping families in some places in the southwest border. Could it be that the thing under the old house is so famous that the corpse-keeping family got involved?

"Chang Sheng, look, among these people, Li Yuanlong is the only one missing. I guess he is the one who created these things."

Hearing Xu Yuanzhi's words, I looked over there carefully. The door of the old house was open, and it was dark inside. It didn't look like there was anyone. The old guy Li Yuanlong had gone somewhere.

Xu Yuanzhi continued: "We all seem to be confused. The ritual Li Yuanlong performed in the old house should not be refining medicine according to the prescription, but raising corpses. These days, he has moved into the old house and cannot come out. It is another ritual.

It is also a human blood sacrifice, in order to raise these corpses to maturity as soon as possible, so as to help him seize the things under the old house."
