Villager of Destiny

After the agreement was made, the young Mr. Ghost and I went down the mountain, and he arranged me in his home for convenience.

What surprised me was that I originally thought that there should be some corpse puppets in the homes of people who exorcise corpses, but the young Mr. Ghost's home did not, not even a coffin.

After I asked, I found out that Mr. Ghost at this moment has not actually studied the corpse-killing lineage in depth.

In his words, he himself was somewhat repelled to be with corpses all day long, so he simply didn't learn those things.

After I understood it, I also understood it, but I also didn't understand it.

That is, since Mr. Ghost didn't want to go the way of the corpse-killing lineage, why did he still leave later, and he became a figure who now has a lot of say in the corpse-hunting lineage?
While I was thinking, the young Mr. Ghost had gone out again. He didn't tell me what he was doing, but just told me to stay in the house and not run around.

I'm actually not very interested in the exorcising corpse village I've seen now. After all, I know in my heart that the key point to break through this illusion is not in this village itself.

Unless my judgment is wrong.

Otherwise, there is no need to waste too much time in this village.

I just stayed at Mr. Ghost's house until late at night.

And he didn't come back until late at night.

But he didn't return empty-handed, but brought something back.

Two cloaks, six unlit incense sticks, and two bottles of a very viscous yellow liquid.

When he saw me, he mysteriously gave me half of the things.

"This is?" I asked.

He looked around and said in a low voice: "After entering the ancestral land, it is not so easy to get to the top of the mountain. There are many high-level corpse guards on the way to the top of the mountain. They did not get permission. Once we are discovered, they will If we make a move, we will lose our lives."

"These things can help us get to the top of the mountain."

"One is night clothes, and the other is corpse oil. These three sticks of incense, if they are still discovered by then, I will say that I will take you up the mountain to pay homage to the Lord of Mount Tai."

Hearing this, I couldn't help laughing.

But I have to say that he was indeed well prepared.

Seeing me laughing, the young Mr. Ghost gave me a dissatisfied look, "I'm doing this for you, otherwise why would I need to put in so much effort?"

After finishing speaking, the young Mr. Ghost walked out directly.

Looking at his back, I couldn't help frowning slightly.

for me?
As I thought about it, he stopped and urged me again: "What are you still doing in a daze, let's go!"

Withdrawing my thoughts, I followed without thinking about it.

In the middle of the night, the ancestral land of the corpse village is still very lively, but because of the need to worship the ancestors, the village is very deserted along the way.

When we came, the ancestral temple on the mountain had gathered almost the entire village. We had already changed into our night clothes when we first went up the mountain, and Mr. Ghost was very careful along the way, so even though there were already many people on the mountain Yes, we smeared up under the cover of night clothes, and did not attract attention.

However, he didn't take me directly to the top of the mountain, but hid in the periphery of the crowd. His cautious appearance made me feel that he was not actually from the corpse village.

"It's not past zero now, after zero, we can go up to the top of the mountain while they invite the three foundations, and they won't notice us by then."

"What is the background of the three branches?" I asked curiously.

The young Mr. Ghost looked up at the moon above his head and said, "You will know soon."

"I don't like that stuff, but I have to admit, it's pretty awesome and scary stuff."

After saying this, the young Mr. Ghost didn't say anything else, but stood with me, looking in the direction of the ancestral hall.

Seeing this, I didn't ask any more questions, and just waited patiently.

Not long after, under the noise, a loud gong sounded.

After the sound of the gong, the left side of the crowd made way, and not long after, eight corpse puppets walked into the crowd carrying a blood-red coffin together.

Looking at the coffin from a distance, I could see that it was unusual. The size of the normal coffin was almost doubled, and the eight corpse puppets could clearly feel their strenuous effort. It was obvious that the coffin was very heavy. .

At the same time, a loud voice came.

"Please, corpse coffin!"

Corpse coffin?
I looked at the young Mr. Ghost and asked, "This coffin is called a corpse coffin?"

The young Mr. Ghost nodded slightly and said: "Yes, this is the background of the branch of corpse refining, which contains the corpse soil needed for corpse refining, and it is also because of the existence of those corpse soil that the branch of corpse refining can continuously refine A corpse puppet."

"And the things that made those corpses are also inside."

"But most people can't see it."

"I haven't seen it either."

"But as far as I know, there should be a corpse puppet king inside."

Just as the young Mr. Ghost finished speaking, another gong sounded.

Immediately afterwards, the right side of the crowd gave way again.

As the crowd moved away, my eyelids also jumped, and a terrifying aura swept over me at this moment.

City God?

Do not!
It is similar to a city god, but even more terrifying than ordinary city gods. If nothing else, it should also be a corpse puppet!

Sure enough.

After a while, I heard heavy footsteps, and under the footsteps, an ice crystal skeleton glowing with faint light slowly came out.

The skeleton was very tall, almost as tall as two people, without a trace of flesh and blood on its body, but its aura was extremely terrifying.

"The master of the corpse puppets of the branch that controls corpses, with this master of corpse puppets, the branch of corpse control can control all corpse puppets."

Lord of Corpse Puppets?

I looked at the lord of the corpse puppet again, the lord of the corpse puppet made me feel some threat, although not much, but I can be sure that the strength of the lord of the corpse puppet has surpassed the false god City God, I am afraid that alone The body is already extremely powerful.

"Please, Lord of Corpse Puppets!"

The voice came, and the corpse puppet master stopped beside the corpse refining coffin.

At the same time, the third gong sounded.

In the middle of the crowd, a path was also made at this time.

It's just that compared with the previous two backgrounds, the background of this one seems to be more ordinary. At this time, the village chief appeared on the road out of the way of the crowd, holding a tray in his hand. There was something, covered by a black cloth, it was impossible to see what was inside.

And with his appearance, another voice came.

"Please, Rebirth Bell!"

Dead Bell?

My eyelids twitched.

The background of this branch of chasing corpses is the bell of the past life?

I should have thought of that earlier.

However, just as I was about to continue watching, the young Mr. Ghost took my hand.

"It's almost time, we should go."

Only then did I notice that when the death bell was taken out, the crowd had already knelt on the ground. (end of this chapter)
