Chapter 7: Reviving the Dead

Ah, Director, why are you holding me?

I just saw a beautiful woman waving at me, but I couldn't catch up to her

The woman has applied a thick layer of foundation on her face, particularly at the center of her forehead, clearly attempting to conceal a flaw. Looking at her chest, faint black edges are visible from her cleavage. It appears she is at best of intermediate quality

Once these living corpses are cultivated, they possess the characteristics of surviving in both the yin and yang realms. They can not only enter the underworld but also appear in sunlight, showing no fear of any Taoist talismans, which is quite terrifying. It is said that from ancient times to the present, only during the Song Dynasty did a practitioner successfully cultivate a living corpse, and no one has succeeded since.

The woman looked at me with an expression of extreme terror, opened her mouth and let out a horrific scream. In that instant, her eyes turned into dull, lifeless fish eyes, her body became cold and stiff, emanating a pungent stench of decay. I hurriedly pushed her away, and the corpse lay rigidly on the ground. The silk nightgown had vanished, replaced by tattered clothes weathered by years, and her entire body and face were in a state of severe decay, with white, bared teeth and two hollow, dark eye sockets, creating a chilling sight.

Ah, I have finally returned

How is that possible? In my three years in this line of work, it is the first time I have felt so lost regarding mhetushu.com. If she is not a ghost, it is impossible for her to emit such a captivating gaze that leaves Liu Kun bewildered and makes me feel overwhelmed as well. Moreover, how can one explain the paper money and blood tea?

Reviving a corpse does not imply that one is not afraid of Taoist talismans; rather, there is only one effective method to subdue such malevolent entities. This method involves using the most foul excrement and urine, along with fresh blood, to strike the center of the forehead and the chest. By doing so, the revived corpse is dispelled and transformed into a decayed body. This technique can be considered a remedy from the Maoshan school, and many righteous disciples are unaware of it, while those evil practitioners and revived corpses are even less likely to know of it.

What am I? I exerted a slight force to struggle and broke free from her grasp. At this moment, the life-sustaining spell had been broken, and she had lost all her strength, finding it difficult to even breathe. Seizing the opportunity, I raised my hand and tapped her forehead with my index finger.

Since ancient times, there has been a notion among Daoists regarding the cultivation of corpses, but this has always been considered a form of evil sorcery. Ever since the establishment of the orthodox Maoshan school, all forms of heretical practices have been expelled and regarded as paths of wickedness. These malevolent techniques have since hidden among the populace, occasionally committing misdeeds, with the cultivation of living corpses being one of them. The process of this technique is extremely complex and requires a practitioner of exceptionally high skill to accomplish. It involves using a corpse that has died no more than half an hour prior, extracting the heart and brain, and soaking them in the blood of an infant. This must be accompanied by incantations every day, and it takes a year to complete the cultivation.

Alright, it's a deal. Give me a hug and leave immediately

Damn it, I thought it was a girl

I looked in astonishment at the palm of her hand, which seemed like magic, but I knew it certainly was not. Over the past three years, I had basically finished reading the ancient Daoist texts in the shop, but many of the spells required further cultivation due to insufficient mastery. Why is this strange phenomenon not recorded in our ancient texts? I have serious doubts that my great-grandfather had some secrets he did not pass down. This old man, we have no outsiders in our family, what are you hiding?

The woman looked at me with an extremely strange and seductive smile, slowly prying open the copper coin sword, dividing it into eight copper coins. She held them in her palm for a moment, then opened her hand, and the coins had vanished.

I smiled at her without saying a word, my right index finger precisely tapping on the dark spot in the middle of her cleavage. Her expression suddenly changed, and she breathed rapidly, saying: "You... you..."

The process of reviving corpses is also categorized by levels. When the heart and brain are nourished and refined using spells and the blood of infants, and then reinserted into the body, it is inevitable that marks will be left on the skin, most notably on the forehead and chest. The lowest level of revived corpse will exhibit protruding black dots on the forehead and chest; as the level increases, the black dots become smaller and the marks blur. If one reaches the advanced level of revived corpse, it will completely merge with the skin, leaving no trace whatsoever.

She glanced at me with a sidelong smile and said, "Why are all you men so impatient? We agreed it would be tomorrow night."

Liu Kun suddenly woke up, kneeling on the ground and vomiting bile. In an instant, everything around him changed; the house mysteriously vanished, replaced by the pitch-black night. Vague tombstones appeared in his line of sight. His grandmother's, we are in a graveyard, and this haunted house must have transformed from one of those tombstones.

Her body was warm, exuding a rich and exotic fragrance that captivated the senses. I couldn't help but marvel at how enchanting a living corpse could be, hardly distinguishable from a living person. If I can't find a girlfriend in the future, I might as well raise one myself.

"There is no restroom, so you can take care of yourself; I don't mind." She looked at my crotch with a smile, showing not even a hint of shyness.

A strong chill rose within me; after all, she was a ghost. This was not magic at all. Those few teeth were clearly ghostly fangs. Which magician could conjure up a few ghostly fangs like those in the *illustrated* books? I would call him grandpa from now on. Looking into her smiling eyes, I suddenly noticed a slightly raised black spot between her eyebrows. At first, I didn't look closely, thinking it was just a black mole. But at that moment, I felt a jolt throughout my body; I remembered she was a living corpse.

Cough, the director is here, what nonsense are you talking about

I smiled faintly, reached out to take her fang, indicating my acceptance of this proposal: to get the money and leave immediately, no longer meddling in affairs. Standing up, I saw Liu Kun still staring blankly at the woman's figure, completely entranced and unable to extricate himself. I paid him no mind and walked straight out the door

The woman followed him outside and smiled, saying: "If you desire my body, draw a rose on the door of your shop after dawn, and I will come to find you tonight"

She主动 walked over and opened her arms, tightly embracing me. Observing her unguarded attitude towards me, it was evident that she did not regard me as significant at all

"Is my magic not quite good?" She smiled and clenched her hand again, and when she opened it, there were a few white teeth. "These teeth are for you; you are an understanding person and know what to do. If you like me, I will find you tomorrow night to repay you well."

My hand restlessly wandered to her chest, and she let out a soft "hm" from her nose. Then, she caught my hand and chided, "It's getting late; you should go back."

Just give a hug

I opened my left hand to take a look, and a handful of fangs had turned into a pile of stones. Damn, even I have moments of oversight.

I felt embarrassed, so I quickly turned my back to her and unfastened my pants to relieve myself. At the same time, I pinched my right thumb's nail against the scabbed finger, causing blood to flow again, which I dabbed onto the urine. After putting my pants back on, I turned around and smiled, saying: "Can I hug you? Otherwise, I might not sleep well tonight."

I nodded slightly and turned around, feigning embarrassment with a smile: "There are three urgent matters for a person, and I really can't hold it any longer. Where is the restroom?" I was asking a question I already knew the answer to; in a haunted house, where could there possibly be a restroom? Aside from a few rooms, there was nothing but an empty courtyard.

However, the success rate is not high; often, some people spend their entire lives trying to cultivate a living corpse, which is also known as a "living dead" in the ancient texts of Maoshan

A chaotic shouting sound came from behind. Turning around, I saw shadows rising from between the graves. Although I could not see their faces clearly, I knew they were the missing police officers. They had been lured into the graveyard by this living corpse and were completely bewildered. Fortunately, I arrived in time; otherwise, they might have met the same fate as my two colleagues, Shen Bing.
