Chapter 8: Lu Ruiheng
Although the figure flashed by in an instant, Lin Xiaofeng was able to see clearly that the figure was undoubtedly the female corpse from the dry well's coffin
Is it actually the art of corpse manipulation
It has been reported that a group of university students is coming in to deliver some supplies
However, later on, due to development, seeking medical treatment became increasingly popular, thus the talismans for healing gradually lost their utility, while the use of talismans for exorcising ghosts and dispelling evil became more widespread.
Only Lin Xiaofeng, although forcing his eyes shut, kept his ears alert, listening to the sounds around him
At first, he thought it was a misunderstanding, but after learning that this person practiced corpse manipulation, he began to understand the situation; this individual actually intended to use human blood to refine corpses
While he was preparing to be bound, he drew a unlocking symbol on his left hand
Finally arrived
After a restless night, having also climbed mountains all day, they all set up their bedding on the ground and fell into a deep sleep
At this moment, Lu Ruiheng let out a whistle, and a figure emerged from a bush, slipping into the mortuary through the window.
He did not expect that the fat man would release the female killer in advance, and then there was also a guy among the students like Lin Xiaofeng who knew the art of sorcery
Lin Xiaofeng observed for a while longer, confirming that the person had left, before quickly walking over to the puppet that the person had left behind
Lin Xiaofeng opened his eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. After pretending for so long, his whole body felt sore and tired.
Why does this guy want to harm his own group of people
He rushed into the charity hall and indeed saw the female corpse.
At this moment, a person is squatting outside the mortuary, drawing symbols on a wooden puppet.
A beast-like howl emanated from the throat of the female corpse
Lin Xiaofeng was anxious and hardly paid any attention to Lu Ruiheng's words
Lin Xiaofeng found it somewhat amusing in his heart; why waste words on such a person? He was too lazy to continue the tedious conversation and directly ignored Wang Mu Yang.
Lin Xiaofeng rushed over and kicked the female corpse against the wall
This type of symbol has no other use, but it is very effective for unlocking
"Little fellow, you have some skills, don't you? Since we are fellow practitioners, go into the house and call out your close friends to leave with you," said the man
Although Lin Xiaofeng had little interest in delivering supplies, he still went through the motions. He clearly remembers that this fellow was quite cheerful at the time, receiving some items and expressing his gratitude to them
Under the moonlight, Lin Xiaofeng could also see that this person was dressed in a tattered camouflage outfit, wearing a pair of black trousers that were dirty, looking like an ordinary farmer.
Lu Ruiheng smiled lightly and said, "Kid, you should hurry and escape. The female corpse I have trained, once it tastes fresh blood, will be far more formidable than that previous female killer."
Then, quietly and cautiously, I looked out the window by the light of the moon
The more blood of the living that corpse drinks, the stronger it becomes. Are you intending to kill that entire mortuary's worth of people to train that corpse?
He crouched down to take a look, and could not help but furrow his brows
Lin Xiaofeng saw him raise his head and look towards the charity hall, and quickly crouched down. After a while, he raised his head again, and the person had already left
In ancient times, seeking a doctor and obtaining medicine were privileges of the wealthy, while the poor often relied on charms and incantations for healing
Lin Xiaofeng said: "Isn't your heart a bit too cruel?"
At this moment, the chubby man lying on the ground, perhaps disturbed by the noise, said with his eyes closed and lips pouted in dissatisfaction: "Don't make noise, I'm trying to sleep"
He thought carefully for a moment, isn't this guy just a villager from this village
This person said with a smile: "I just saw it all, these people tied you up and were ready to hand you over to the police. Are you still planning to help them?"
Wang Mu Yang cursed a couple more times, wanting to strike him, but he recalled Lin Xiao Feng's gaze from before and dared not lay a hand on him no matter what
This corpse looks exactly like the female killer who was previously beaten to a state of utter terror by Lin Xiaofeng, dressed in a bright red qipao
Lu Ruiheng is not some rural farmer; he does not know how he learned about the century-old female corpse behind the charity graveyard in Hongshu Village
Previously, Lin Xiaofeng's performance indicated that he knew some Taoist techniques, but how did he come to understand the art of corpse manipulation
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that this female corpse had not decayed for a century due to becoming a female vengeful spirit, harboring deep resentment.
Lin Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Elder brother, are you joking with me?"
Subsequently, the rope that was originally tied in a dead knot loosened and fell to the ground
Lin Xiaofeng forcefully pressed the female corpse against the wall with his leg, glanced at the chubby man, and began to curse inwardly.
Suddenly, Lin Xiaofeng turned around and saw, under the moonlight, that guy dressed in worker's clothes standing not far behind him, looking at him with cold eyes
Lin Xiaofeng was momentarily taken aback upon seeing this; what on earth did this guy intend to do
In fact, talismans are not solely used for exorcising evil spirits or capturing ghosts
Upon learning this news, Lu Ruiheng immediately approached the village chief and handed him three hundred yuan, requesting that he arrange for these students to stay at the charity lodge
Originally, according to his plan, he secretly placed the female corpse into the mortuary. The mortuary has only one entrance; as long as he blocked the door, how could these students survive in the presence of the corpse?
Around one o'clock in the morning, a faint sound of footsteps came from outside the ancestral hall.
Perhaps some may wonder, is there such a thing as a unlocking symbol?
Lin Xiaofeng felt a twinge of regret, thinking that if he had known, he would have simply burned the female corpse in the dry well at that time, and nothing would have happened.
Upon hearing these words, a hint of shock appeared in his eyes, as he did not expect that the high school student before him would be aware of such matters
He devised a way to infiltrate this Red Tree Village, spending a full three years training this century-old female corpse
It has been mentioned before that the art of corpse manipulation is a branch of necromancy. Lin Xiaofeng practices authentic necromancy, so he immediately recognized that this puppet was used to control corpses after the practice of corpse manipulation
Lin Xiaofeng slightly moved his hands and feet, which had become somewhat numb from being tied up
Lin Xiaofeng placed his left hand, which bore the unlocking symbol, on the rope and softly chanted: "Urgent as the law commands"
At this moment, Lu Ruiheng felt a heaviness in his heart and said to Lin Xiaofeng: "Let's see how skilled you are in the art of Taoism. Since you refuse to take a hint, don't blame me for being impolite."
After she entered, she pounced on the chubby yellow figure lying in the corner, fast asleep.
In her pupils, there were no eyeballs, only white irises; if an ordinary person were to see this, they would likely faint from shock.
However, there is an old saying that goes well: plans are not as good as changes
The skin is bluish, the mouth is open, revealing two sharp fangs inside
Nowadays, it is only necessary to have the fresh blood of a living person to truly create a female corpse. Originally, he was still troubled about where to find the fresh blood of a living person
This unlocking talisman was created a long time ago by an ancestral locksmith, who later became a Taoist priest and developed this type of talisman.
Lin Xiaofeng turned around and rushed into the ancestral hall.
This scoundrel is sleeping quite soundly; if he knew that he almost went down to meet King Yama just now, he would probably be unable to sleep.
"It's a matter between us. They have a grudge against me, and I will settle it myself, but that does not mean I want you to kill them." Lin Xiaofeng said, "You have already perfected your skills; all that's left is the blood of the living, right?"
