Chapter 66: Three days of terror
“Three days and three nights of fighting? Are you kidding? Try fighting a guy who is immortal, invulnerable, and has unlimited strength for three days and three nights!” Master glanced at me sideways and said with a laugh.
“What the hell is going on? Tell me, Master!” I was also anxious.
“There were zombies in that tomb. I had expected it because that was where the zombies were kept. Remember that bamboo forest? If no one disturbs a wild bamboo forest, it will gradually grow larger and larger. People in the village often go to cut bamboo, but the tombs in the middle of the forest never grow bamboo. There aren’t even two blades of grass on the ground. Except for the abandoned tombs, it’s almost a wasteland.” Master said slowly.
“Well, I remember.” How could I forget that desolate grave? As soon as the master said it, I really remembered that there were no plants in that graveyard.
“This is the simplest way to determine a corpse-raising ground. The gathering of yin, the corpse-raising ground, I knew there must be a problem in it at the time, and later dug out the tomb of the hungry ghosts. Generally speaking, when faced with this kind of problem, it is of course best to solve it in a low-key manner, so I used my master’s talisman, which was a silver-colored net of heaven and earth talisman, which could definitely seal the tomb of the hungry ghosts. Unfortunately, human calculations are not as good as heavenly calculations…” At this point, the master paused for a moment.
Yes, if we could seal the hungry ghost tomb in this way, it would be the best solution. Destroying the Yin-Gathering Array and cutting off its Yin energy, combined with the Heavenly Net and Earthly Web Talisman, would completely seal off the outside world, and the hungry ghost eggs would slowly die. As for the zombies, Master said that they would not wake up without the breath of the living.
“Seal the tomb for ten years, as long as the tomb is sealed for ten years, all the hungry ghosts inside will die. I told Hu Xueman that after ten years, just open the tomb and burn the coffin inside.
“Master Jiang, which is more powerful, the hungry ghost king or the vampire?” Su Rou asked.
“Of course, the Jumping Corpse in the tomb is more powerful. It has already broken free from the category of black and white corpses and become a Jumping Corpse. I originally thought it would be a white corpse at most, but I didn’t expect it… As for the Hungry Ghost King, it is relatively easy to deal with by dispersing its hungry ghost spirits or sealing its hungry ghost spirits.” Master simply explained to Su Rou.
But we don’t understand anything about the Jumping Corpse or the White Evil Spirit, and Master didn’t seem to want to say anything about it.
“This is a trap. You encountered the roadblock ghost at the beginning because you three little brats bullied the roadblock ghost, and it appeared. When we went down, the roadblock ghost naturally avoided us. If it had appeared, it would have been good, at least it would have alerted me. After all, time is tight. If so many strangers enter the hungry ghost tomb and the hungry ghost eggs are not dealt with early, the hungry ghost eggs will hatch faster, and I won’t be able to deal with them by then.”
Then, the master explained everything in the hungry ghost tomb to us in detail.
In my mind, I finally figured out the truth. This is indeed a very powerful trap, designed to kill future generations. Those who don’t know the ropes will be fine, but those who do will definitely fall into the trap.
Because those who know will definitely go looking for the ghost mother, no matter what the purpose is. The master said in detail that the ghost mother is very peculiar. When she senses that her offspring have died to a certain extent, she will lay eggs again. If you don’t find the ghost mother, it’s useless to destroy more and more ghost eggs.
So, this is the beginning of the trap. The use of the enchanted cloth is to buy time. When the master and his disciples were destroying the hungry ghost eggs, the ghost mother must have sensed it. It was unrealistic to lay eggs, but it could awaken the hungry ghost king.
I, Su Rou, Ling Ruyue, and I are the three unlucky people. The Hungry Ghost King was just being awakened, and the three of us barged in, speeding up the process. So, we deserved to encounter it.
But we have to say that this gave Master and the others a chance. If we hadn’t accidentally wandered into the tomb, when the Hungry Ghost King and the corpse-jumping corpse woke up together, the consequences would have been more than just the death of three people.
And the most important part of this plan is that the cultivation chamber of the Hungry Ghost King is in the tomb, and so is the Ghost Mother. The Hungry Ghost King needs blood to grow, and the more powerful the blood, the better the Hungry Ghost King grows. Although the Candle Dragon is powerful, it can’t beat the insidious Hungry Ghost Worm. How can it fight in the stomach?
Moreover, snakes are cold-blooded animals. I don’t know much about the Candle Dragon, but I do know that snakes sleep for a long time, which gives the hungry ghost worm a chance.
So the candle dragon became food, and raised the hungry ghost king!
I don’t know what the man’s purpose was in raising the hungry ghost king, but the master said that after it was discovered that the purpose could not be achieved, the hungry ghost king was sealed by a secret method, unless the ghost mother called.
As for the corpse in the coffin, after the master had finished dealing with everything, he investigated and smashed open a small gap in the coffin, not only to make it easier for the ghost mother to fly in, but also to enhance the blood of the person who needed the yin to be poured into the coffin. Then the tomb was smashed open in a place where the sun was avoided, and a slit was made. The moonlight, the yin of the gathering yin formation…
Therefore, the corpse was promoted to a jumping corpse.
When the museum opened, the master did not pay attention to these things. He only used a rope knot to lock the yang energy of the two warriors who opened the museum, so that the vampire would not be contaminated by yang energy, and there would be no problem. As a precaution, the master also sprinkled a large amount of glutinous rice into the coffin through the gap in the coffin to suppress the corpse.
But what the master didn’t expect was that the corpse in the coffin had already been raised by someone, and it was a living corpse. It wasn’t just that the person who opened the coffin could lock in the yang energy, or that the sticky rice could hold it down. As long as there was a trace of life in the tomb, the corpse would rise instantly.
I don’t know how powerful the jumping corpse is, but my master said that after the corpse rises, it will suddenly attack and injure people. The two innocent soldiers who opened the coffin were instantly scratched by the jumping corpse, and their hearts were ripped out.
It is normal for a vampire to feed on blood. In general, vampires are much more powerful and terrifying than ghosts.
When the master reacted, the jumping corpse had already injured another soldier who was closest to it. Fortunately, the soldier reacted quickly and avoided the jumping corpse’s sharp claws from scratching its chest, but it was still scratched on the stomach and lost a piece of flesh. Moreover, the jumping corpse had corpse poison, or to be more precise, a virus.
The soldier was already dying.
In a panic, the master could only rush up and use a seal to seal the mouth and nose of the corpse, but because he did not expect the corpse to jump, the paper could only seal the corpse for a maximum of one minute.
During this minute, the ghost mother also began to call the hungry ghost king, and Huijue was busy using glutinous rice to help the soldier remove the corpse poison. Grandma Ling Qing had not anticipated this situation at all. Her goblins were almost useless against the corpse. She did not bring goblins to restrain the corpse!
The kind of insect that is needed is one that is extremely aggressive.
In this minute, the master tied the four limbs of the corpse with a red rope and then tied it to his chest.
In this way, the corpse could only feel his own vitality and would only follow him.
The hungry ghost king was killed by Ling Qing’s grandmother with a bug. Fortunately, the hungry ghost king had already been injured before. My master’s soul-binding formation had already injured its soul. It was originally left to Hui Jue to be liberated, but in that situation, it could only be killed alive, and all its souls were scattered.
Hua Feifei specializes in harming people’s souls, and Ling Qing’s grandmother had something even more powerful than Hua Feifei.
When I got to this point, my master said, “Do you know why it took me three days? It was because I had to take the corpse out of the tomb to kill it. There was no magic weapon or item that could be used against the corpse, but with my skills, I couldn’t kill it.”
I can’t imagine the danger involved. I only know that after the Hungry Ghost King was killed, the soldiers went back, afraid of angering the Hungry Ghost King too much and being detected by the Jumping Corpse. In the end, only my master, Ling Qing, Hu Xueman, and Huijue were left in the tomb.
Master Ling Qing walked out of the tomb with the Jumping Corpse, step by step. During the process of walking, the Jumping Corpse had to be constantly subdued by various methods. Every time it woke up, Master Ling Qing faced a life-and-death test, and she could not break the red rope, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable…
During the process of calming the corpse, Huijue contributed the most. When he walked out of the tomb, he was almost exhausted.
The worst part was that my master and the others had no way of taking a shortcut. Since they were jumping corpses, their joints were stiff and they could jump faster than they could run. However, they couldn’t jump high enough to get to the top, so my master and the others couldn’t choose to go up through the gaps, and they could only break through the formation…
And they couldn’t go back the way they came from the hungry ghost tomb, they could only go through the main entrance.
This is why it took three days.
My master and I were both sweating profusely. My master had to carry the corpse with him, and they had to walk for three days without sleeping!
