Chapter Six, Corpse Worms.

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

He Zheren looked at Secretary Xing's receding figure and couldn't help but sigh deeply, "He is truly a good official."

The tomb was quickly filled, and the two "ghosts" looked at each other and smiled, holding hands as they walked down Panlong Mountain.

Not bad," Secretary Xing pondered for a moment and immediately came up with an idea, "How about I secretly take Wei Liuchan up the mountain and bury him in the 'Gu Ren Tomb' tonight?"

At this moment, the toads and frogs in the courtyard scattered and fled in a hurry, clumsily flipping over the fence and plopping into the dark pool, causing ripples.

The sense of smell of Wei Liuchan is so keen, it is impossible for him to smell the scent from the capital city thousands of miles away, right? There must be something strange going on here," Secretary Xing asserted.

Ker, bring a glass of cold water to Secretary Xing and respectfully say, "Please rinse your mouth, sir."

"Old man, have you encountered a ghost?" The old partner grumbled discontentedly under the covers.

It's not a big deal, just a minor injury. I have a pain-relieving and wound-healing medicine. After saying this, He Zheren returned to the house to clean the wound and apply medicine. At this moment, he was already certain that Secretary Xing and his wife were definitely not mentally ill.

Old He, you said that Wei Liuchan is a "corpse worm". How should this statement be understood?

He Zheren looked at him in confusion and incomprehension.

"My lord, how should we dispose of this ugly skin?" Ke'er asked with a smile.

Lord husband is so mighty and powerful! Ke'er walked out with a smile and praised him greatly.

No wonder, the toad eats by rolling its tongue to catch things. Ke'er suddenly realized next to it.

小原, your father has urgent business to discuss with you," said Old Ping urgently.

Ker, the world is not really peaceful. Since the reform and opening up, the demons and monsters that were originally dormant have gradually appeared, especially in the capital city. The man explained while shoveling the soil.

At this moment, He Zheren's eyes were staring straight at Secretary Xing, whose neck was as long as a giraffe's, completely dumbfounded and unable to utter a word in astonishment.

Just at this moment, suddenly I heard a series of hurried footsteps coming from the foot of the mountain.

At this moment, He Zheren just regained his composure and stammered, "Xing, Secretary Xing, you are..."

Secretary Xing took a mouthwash and spat the bloody water on the ground.

With a "putong" sound, the man threw the corpse into the coffin, then jumped into the grave and closed the coffin lid. He then jumped out and began to fill the soil with a shovel in hand.

Dad, the ghost from the underworld came to the mortal world to bury the corpse. Who would believe it if I said it? Please stop bothering me.

After a long time, the stiff body of the old man Ping gradually relaxed, and his limbs became movable. He turned his head and hurriedly fled back to his home outside the city of Langzhong. Trembling, he tightly tied the door of his house, still in a state of shock.

Hehe, my husband is so mischievous. Ke'er clapped in agreement.

The moonlight is cool as water, and the mountains and forests are quiet. Only the chirping of crickets and grasshoppers can be heard in the grass.

Last night we just found the tomb of the Gu person, and tonight the corpse insects came looking for it. How did it know? Secretary Xing raised a question.

The son of Lao Han is named Pingyuan. He is a young intern judge at the Langzhong City Court. Not long ago, his longtime girlfriend left him, leaving him deeply saddened and even contemplating suicide.

Uncle Fei's head was bobbing back and forth on Wei Liuchan's corpse, and finally he picked up a wallet and handed it to Keren.

"Hmm, Lao He, how is your injury?" Secretary Xing asked with concern, noticing his worn-out sleeves and pants.

In the office, Pingyuan couldn't help but interrupt after listening to his father's narration, saying, "Dad, I am a judge. Where do ghosts come from in this world? Are you talking nonsense?"

Mr. He, since you are injured and inconvenienced, I can go alone. Secretary Xing finished speaking and reached out to lift the body onto his shoulder. He then carried it and took the iron shovel with him as he left, with Ke'er closely following Uncle Fei.

Come up, I'm in the office. Plain sighed and hung up the phone.

What is the essence, what is it?

The old man gasped for a few breaths and then answered nervously, "Yes, it's true that I encountered ghosts - a male ghost, a female ghost, and a little pig ghost."

"Go," the old man said angrily as he grabbed his son's arm. "Go with your father to Panlong Mountain, and you will believe it then."

On the winding path of Panlong Mountain, the forest ranger Ping, an old man, carried a broken bird gun and held a flashlight while patrolling the mountain. When he arrived at the ancient temple site, he was surprised to find a tall mound. Shining his flashlight on it, he discovered an open coffin in the tomb.

Secretary Xing seemed to remember something while filling the soil. He took out Wei Liuchan's ID card and the plane ticket from his pocket and threw them next to the coffin. He thought to himself that these were at least relics of the deceased, so they should be returned to their rightful owner.

Cannot stay here. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is ultimately a matter of life. Furthermore, to prevent his accomplices from finding this old house, it must be thrown away." He Zheren said cautiously.

The phone rang, and he picked up the receiver, recognizing it as his father's voice.

The plain could not withstand the stubbornness of the old man, reluctantly, but also had no choice but to follow along.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel a bit shocked.

Under the moonlight, a tall and bloated figure appeared. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a man carrying a naked corpse with only half a head. Following behind him was a young woman, cradling a black-haired piglet in her arms.

He Zheren bandaged the wound after applying medicine, changed into clean clothes, and climbed onto the Eight Immortals table to forcefully pull out the peach wood dagger stuck in the wooden beam. Alas, there are countless strange and extraordinary people in the martial world. He has been living in this small city of Langzhong for many years, considering himself a "recluse of Shu". However, his meager skills cannot even deal with a corpse worm. If it weren't for Secretary Xing's help, the consequences would be unimaginable. I am ashamed, truly ashamed.

"Where is the person from Beijing?" He Zheren asked in confusion.

After a burst of bone cracking, Secretary Xing's neck suddenly stretched more than two meters, and then he turned his head and opened his blood-filled mouth, biting down like lightning.

I think you've been cursed," muttered my spouse before rolling over and falling back asleep.

In the morning, Pingyuan arrived at the office early, sitting gloomily in front of the desk, gazing at the smiling photo of his girlfriend in the drawer, feeling desolate in his heart.

He Zheren shook his head and said, "I don't quite understand. He was just asking about the purpose of 'stealing' the bones, and also said that 'anyone who steals from the ancient tombs of Panlong Mountain will be killed without mercy.' You all heard what he said."

Old Ping was angered when he heard this: "Xiao Yuan, this is what father personally saw and heard, absolutely true."

The little witch is very clever," Ke'er praised. She casually flipped through it and found some hundred yuan bills, identity documents, and an airplane ticket inside.

After a moment of contemplation, He Zheren slowly said, "Do you know about Gu poison? This poison is deadly, while Gu is a living creature. In the Bimo's 'Corpse Gu Secret Technique', the sixth insect is the stomach Gu, which resembles a toad. It has a taste for fresh flesh and enjoys eating things like mud, charcoal, raw rice, salt, and ginger. So, I tempted Wei Liuchan with raw rice, and he indeed revealed his true colors."

Hehe," Secretary Xing smiled kindly and said in a friendly and gentle voice, "Looking beyond appearances to see the essence, the person standing in front of you is actually a true, outstanding, and qualified county party secretary."

The old man behind the tree became even more terrified when he heard the conversation between the two, feeling as if he was in the presence of ghosts from the underworld. His hand tightly gripped the bird gun, trembling uncontrollably.

He Zheren nodded, this idea is feasible.

"Giggle" a few times, Secretary Xing retracted his neck, and with a calm expression, he modestly said with a slight smile: "It's just a trivial skill. Since ancient times, evil cannot prevail over righteousness. The dialectical method states that false appearances often manifest in various forms on the surface, but in essence, there is only one."

The sense of smell of corpse insects is also very sensitive. They must have tracked down the remains of Da Luomo. This is what He Zheren analyzed.

Theft of tombs! He suddenly became alert and looked around, but saw no one.

Wei Liuchan was shocked and lost his color. He never expected such a sudden change. He hurriedly retracted his tongue, but it was already too late. He heard a crisp "crack" sound, and his head was bitten off halfway. Blood splattered, and one bulging eyeball rolled down. The corpse immediately fell to the ground.

※※※。

The old man Ping didn't dare to close his eyes for the entire second half of the night, fearing that the pair of ghosts would discover that he had peeped behind the tree. He endured with fear and trepidation until dawn in the east, and then went into the city without eating.

Secretary Xing put Wei Liuchan's plane ticket and ID card into his pocket, along with the cash that could be spent on the way. Although it was ill-gotten gains, it could still be taken with a clear conscience. As for killing someone just now, it's not a big deal. After all, since Wei Liuchan is a worm, it's natural for big worms to eat small worms. Isn't that how nature evolves?

The door of the West Chamber opened. Fei Shu rushed out on horseback and caught several slow-running toads, trampling them into a pulp with his hooves.

Mr. He, what exactly does Wei Liuchan want by coming here? Why does he want to lead us to our deaths?

Uncle Fei watched coldly from the side, thinking that the background of Wei Liuchan seemed not small. This matter involves the capital, which is a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers reside. This has been the case throughout the dynasties, and I deeply understand this. Although the corpse worm is already dead, this is just the beginning. There will be many dangers ahead, and Xing Shuji and He Zheren alone will not be able to handle it. Routuoman bit off half of Wei Liuchan's head in just one round, which was purely lucky. If it were based on true strength, Xing Shuji would not be a match for the corpse worm at all. The goal is the Blue Moon Valley, so why bother getting involved in this unclear grudge? If things go wrong, my life may be in danger. I need to find a way to scare off Xing Shuji and Ke'er, so that I can return to the void as soon as possible.

"Strange, why is this coffin so big?" Old Ping looked at the empty and spacious coffin, puzzled, and muttered to himself.

Old man Ping is an experienced forest ranger who has been patrolling the mountains for decades. He immediately sensed that something was amiss and quickly turned off his flashlight and took down his bird gun, hiding himself in the pine forest.

This is really too weird. Old man Ping was so scared that he hid behind a thick ancient pine tree and didn't even dare to breathe.

"My lord, there are indeed many corpse worms and monsters in the world today. This humble woman is truly amazed." The woman said coquettishly.

Secretary Xing took a closer look and was somewhat surprised: "This plane ticket was for a flight that departed from Beijing Capital International Airport this morning. The name on the ID card is Wei Liuchan, born in 1931, and the address is No. 4 Jing Shan Qian Street, Dongcheng District, Beijing."
