Volume 1 Chapter 7: Raising a Corpse
How could it be possible? I was at a loss for the first time in my three years in this line of work . If she wasn't a ghost, she couldn't have cast such a bewitching gaze that made Liu Kun dizzy and made me feel overwhelmed. Besides, how could I explain the paper money and blood tea!
The woman looked at me with an extremely strange and charming smile, and slowly broke the copper coin sword into eight copper coins. She held them in her palm for a while, and then opened her hand, and the copper coins disappeared.
I looked at her palm in surprise. It looked like magic, but I knew it was definitely not. In the past three years, I have basically finished reading the ancient Taoist book in the store, but many of the spells are not well-trained and need to be practiced. How come this strange situation is not recorded in the ancient book in my house? I strongly suspect that my great-grandfather has hidden a trick that has not been passed down. This old man, there is no outsider in our family, what are you hiding?
"My magic is pretty good, isn't it?" She smiled and clenched her hands again. When she opened them, there were a few more white teeth. "These teeth are for you. You are a smart person and you know what to do. If you like me, I will find you tomorrow night and repay you well."
A strong chill rose in my heart. She was a ghost after all. This was not a magic trick at all. Those teeth were clearly ghost teeth. If there was a magician who could conjure up some ghost teeth for me, I would call him grandpa . Looking at her smiling eyes, I suddenly found a slightly raised black spot between her eyebrows. At first I didn't look closely and thought it was a black mole. When I saw it, my whole body was shocked. I remembered that she was a living corpse!
Since ancient times, Taoists have had the idea of raising corpses, but that is all evil magic. Since the Maoshan Orthodox Taoism took root, all crooked ways have been rejected and regarded as evil ways. These evil Taoist arts have been hidden among the people, and sometimes they do evil things. Raising corpses alive is one of them. The process of cultivating this art is very complicated, and it requires a very high level of cultivation to complete. Use a corpse that has died no more than half an hour ago, take out the heart and brain , and soak it in infant blood. Use spells every day to assist, and it takes a year to cultivate.
However, the success rate is not high. Often, some people find it difficult to raise a living corpse even after a lifetime of training. In ancient Maoshan books, it is also known as the living dead!
Once this kind of zombie is cultivated, it possesses the characteristics of surviving in both the Yin and Yang worlds. It can not only go in and out of the underworld, but also appear in the sun. It is not afraid of any Taoist magic objects, which is very scary. It is said that from ancient times to the present, only a magician in the Song Dynasty has cultivated a zombie, and no one has ever succeeded.
Living corpses are also divided into different levels. Because the heart and brain are cultivated with spells and infant blood, when they are reinstalled into the body, they will inevitably leave marks on the skin, the most obvious being the center of the eyebrows and the chest. The lowest level living corpses will have protruding black spots on the center of the eyebrows and chest. The higher the level, the smaller the black spots, and the marks will be blurred. If you reach a high-level living corpse, it will completely merge with the skin, leaving no trace.
The woman had a thick layer of foundation on her face, especially between her eyebrows, which was obviously to cover up the blemish. Looking at her chest, the edge of the black spot was faintly visible from the cleavage. It looked like a mid-level product at most.
Living corpses are not afraid of Taoist magic tools and cannot be subdued. There is only one way to deal with such evil things. Use the most filthy feces and blood to hit the forehead and chest, and the living corpse will be broken and turned into a rotten corpse. This method can be said to be a Maoshan secret recipe. Many righteous disciples don't know it, and those evil magicians and zombies don't know it either.
I smiled slightly, stretched out my hand to take her ghost tooth, indicating that I accepted this proposal, got the money and left immediately, and no longer interfered. I stood up and saw Liu Kun still staring at the woman's body stupidly, as if he was completely obsessed and unable to extricate himself. I ignored him and walked straight out the door.
The woman followed him outside and said with a smile: "If you want my body, draw a rose on the door of your shop after daybreak, and I will come to find you at night."
I nodded, turned around and pretended to smile awkwardly: "People have three urgent needs, and I can't hold it any longer. Where is the toilet?" I asked this question even though I knew the answer. There was no toilet in the cemetery. Apart from a few houses, there was an empty courtyard.
"There's no toilet, so feel free to use it. I don't mind." She looked at my crotch with a smile, without even a hint of shyness.
I couldn't hold back my face, so I quickly turned my back to her, unzipped my pants and peed. At the same time, I pinched my index finger, which had just scabbed, with my right thumb nail, and blood flowed out again, dipping it in the urine. After putting on my pants, I turned around and smiled, "Can I hug you for a while? Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well when I go back tonight."
She squinted at me and smiled, "Why are you men so impatient? We agreed to do it tomorrow night."
"Just hug."
"Okay, it's a deal, hug me and leave immediately."
She took the initiative to come over, opened her arms, and hugged me tightly. Seeing her defenseless attitude towards me, it was clear that she didn't take me seriously at all.
Her body was very warm, and exuded a rich and strange fragrance, which made people feel ecstatic. I was amazed that raising a corpse alive could be so fragrant, just like raising a living person. If I can't find a girlfriend in the future, I will just raise one.
My hand restlessly touched her chest. She snorted and grabbed saying, "It's getting late. You should go back."
I looked at her with a smile, without saying anything, and my right index finger touched the black spot in the middle of her cleavage. Her face suddenly changed, and she said with rapid breathing: "You...you..."
"What?" I struggled a little and got out of her hand. At this moment, the living corpse had been broken. She had lost all her strength and even had difficulty breathing. I took the opportunity to raise my hand and touch her forehead with my index finger.
The woman looked at me with extremely terrified eyes, opened her mouth and screamed, and at that moment, her eyes turned into gray dead fish eyes, her body became cold and stiff, and emitted a pungent stench of decay. I hurriedly pushed her away, and her body was lying straight on the ground, her silk pajamas were gone, replaced by rotten clothes that had been weathered for many years, her whole body and face were rotten, and her white teeth and two black eye sockets made people look creepy.
I spread out my left hand and saw that a handful of ghost teeth had turned into a pile of stones. Damn, I can make mistakes sometimes.
Liu Kun suddenly woke up, knelt on the ground and vomited acid. In an instant, everything around him changed. The house strangely disappeared, replaced by the dark night, and blurry graves appeared in sight. Damn it, we are in the cemetery, and I don’t know which grave this Yin house was transformed from.
"Ah, I'm finally back."
"Just now I saw a beautiful woman waving at me, but I couldn't catch up with her."
"Ahem, the director is here, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Ah, Chief, why are you hugging me?"
"Damn it, I thought it was a chick."
I heard chaotic shouting behind me. I looked back and saw dark shadows standing up from the graves. Although I couldn't see their faces clearly, I knew they were the missing policemen. They were lured into the graveyard by the living corpse and were confused. Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise I would have ended up like Shen Bing and her two colleagues.
