The Twilight Stalkers

Chapter 1778: Chasing corpses and qi

Views:

Qu Mo rolled her eyes and smiled sweetly at the two of them. She was so charming. It was rare to see her with such a moving smile. I found it quite alluring.

The two boys' eyes immediately widened, looking flattered.

"I have an idea. You two go out of the village, turn left, then take off your clothes and jump in..." At this point, Qu Mo couldn't help but chuckle with his hands covering his lips.

The two boys didn't know what that place was for a moment, and said stupidly: "Let's go, no need to take off clothes." Suddenly they remembered that it was a hot spring pool, and they pushed open the car door and shouted "Wow."

Ma Yunxi was very smart and guessed Qu Mo's intention. She smiled and said, "You mean, you want us to investigate the hot spring pool and the body? If we can solve these two problems, the villagers will be very grateful to us."

Qu Mo gave her a thumbs up: "Yun Xi is so smart!"

Wang Zijun pulled his head back and said, "I am actually quite smart, but I got confused because of Lu Fei."

"Bullshit, I get in a bad mood when I see you, and my mind is all messed up." Lu Fei cursed angrily.

I quickly made a pause gesture to them and said, "Qu Mo's suggestion is good. Since we are going to fight a protracted war here, we have to please the villagers here. Besides, completely eradicating the evil spirits in this village will also be good for Shen Bing's soul."

Lu Fei scratched his head and said, "But we have already checked the hot spring pool and found no clues. Those ghosts have also disappeared. How can we track their whereabouts?"

When he said that, the four of them stared at me. When it comes to exorcising ghosts and suppressing corpses, they all have ideas, but when it comes to finding clues, they are no match for me, so they have to rely on me. But I really like their looks, it feels like being the center of attention and being relied on.

I couldn't help but feel better, and the gloom from last night was swept away. I touched my nose and said, "There are no clues left in the pool, but we can start from the body."

"Oh, how do you do it?"

"Appreciate further details!"

The two boys both stretched their heads over, pretending to be taught a lesson. When I saw their mouths, I couldn't help but think of kissing, and then I thought of the pool where the corpses were soaked, so I said "Uwaaa" and pushed them away.

I told them that after the body of Zhen Yuchun's son was stolen, I had thought about looking for the traces of the body thief. It was just that we were too busy to care about other people's business. The body was stolen only two days ago. Fortunately, it didn't rain in the past two days, so there should be hope of finding clues.

When they heard this, they were all very excited and asked what method was used. I smiled and said that ghosts come and go without a trace, so it is difficult to capture their traces, but when a body is taken out of the coffin, it will definitely leave behind corpse qi. I think Ma Yunxi is more knowledgeable than me on this point, so I will not teach her how to do it, and let her continue.

When Ma Yunxi heard me mention corpse qi, she suddenly understood and said with a happy face, "For a newly dead body, the corpse qi will condense and not dissipate within half a month. This does not refer to the smell emitted by the corpse, but a kind of yin qi of the corpse. And it is this yin qi that will cause the corpse to transform or turn into a zombie, but it will automatically dissipate after half a month. That's why some people use corpse breeding grounds to cultivate this corpse qi and raise zombies."

A few of us kept nodding our heads. Actually, we all understood this principle, but we just didn't understand it as thoroughly as she did.

Ma Yunxi was not good at speaking, so he said so much in one breath, and then he paused before continuing, "Where the corpse qi passes, it will definitely go deep into the ground and will not dissipate for three days. If it is soaked by rain, the corpse qi will be washed away. And it happened that it didn't rain in the past two days, and the corpse qi left behind in the places where the corpse passed cannot be dispelled by the sun. We can show the trace of the corpse qi by using the corpse-finding talisman."

In fact, the Lingguan Fu I used at that time can be barely used, but it is not as good as the authentic corpse-finding talisman of the corpse-carrying craftsmen in Xiangxi. They are to prevent the corpse from being lost midway, so finding the corpse is also a compulsory course for corpse-carrying craftsmen.

"What are you waiting for? Go find it!" Lu Fei opened the car door and urged Ma Yunxi to get out.

But Ma Yunxi only had a corpse-suppressing talisman, because she didn't drive corpses, so she had never made a corpse-finding talisman. But she knew how to make such a talisman, so she ran to Zhen Yuchun's house and drew a talisman to ward off evil. We didn't tell him that we were looking for his son, so as to avoid failure in the operation and make his family happy in vain.

Qu Mo stayed in the car to watch over Shen Bing, and the four of us took the corpse-finding talisman and rushed to Gen'er's grave. Ma Yunxi pinched the magic formula and chanted some incantations. With her skills, the talisman could not spontaneously combust, and needed the help of a lighter. This was not to exorcise ghosts, and we did not seek the size of the power, so there was not much difference between spontaneous combustion and being burned.

After the talisman was lit, Ma Yunxi took the talisman fire and walked around the grave. After the talisman fire went out, the four of us checked on the ground separately.

"Found it, found it!" The monkey boy Wang Zijun shouted happily in the southeast.

We rushed over together, and sure enough, a faint black mark appeared on the soil under his feet, stretching forward in a zigzag manner. Ma Yunxi said in surprise, this is the corpse qi, if the ritual was performed on the same day, it should be clearer.

The four of them followed this black air and chased it southeast. Not far ahead, they took a detour to the east and unexpectedly entered a hot spring pool. Damn it, it seems that the body was thrown into the pool and soaked on the night of the robbery. It turns out that we saw a group of people taking a bath, probably to cover up the body in the pool.

Then, we followed the black gas from the edge of the pond and headed east. I saw that we might not be able to get close, so I asked Lu Fei to go back and drive. Not long after, Qu Mo and he caught up with us. We drove east for a few miles and found that the black gas had actually entered Ren Village!

I stopped the car far from the entrance of the village. We all got out of the car and gathered together to look at the desolate ruins in front of us. We couldn't help but feel very mysterious. There are only five households in the village. What was the purpose of stealing the body here? We searched the whole village and found nothing unusual. Moreover, we saw two families among the five families. One family was an old friend and his daughter, and the other family was an orphan and a widow. Could there be a magician in the other three families

There are so many ways to raise corpses in this evil art that it is too numerous to mention. The most troublesome one is to raise corpses alive, followed by soul control of the Gate of Life and Death, and then zombies and some inferior corpse control techniques.

I thought, could Yingwu, the other descendant of the Life and Death Sect, be hiding here? But I don't think so, because judging from the features of his subordinates, they don't look like mountain villages at all. Besides, they are all from Northeast China, so I think the dead parrot should be in Northeast China, not in Henan. Damn, the homonym of this bastard's name is really parrot!

Since it's not him, it must be related to the little black chicken spirit. After all, this place is not far from the little black chicken spirit's lair.

"Brother Xi, shall we go into the village and take a look?" Lu Fei said, rubbing his hands.

I shook my head: "Don't alert the enemy yet. We'll come back to check it out at night!"
