Warm Emperor's Favorite: Abandoned Concubine

Chapter 758 Waiting for the new corpse to mutate

He secretly followed behind the team, and saw these people rush into the hut to search for it, and set fire to the house because they couldn't find anyone.

Xuanyuan Yi knew that he could not stop him alone, so he watched quietly.

Those people rushed into the grass shed again, and found the orangutan skeleton in the grass shed.

"I don't know who this old monster ate again. The dead were buried in the ground for safety, but he dug them out to eat meat. He's so inhuman!"

"That's right, if you find him, you must light a sky lantern."

"right……"

The villagers echoed in one voice.

The leader of the soldiers said: "You all go back. I heard that the old man has a tiger. You can't fight against it without armor, so as not to get in the way!"

Although the people were angry in their hearts, they were even more afraid of death, so they left as soon as they heard what the officers and soldiers said.

Xuanyuan Yi squatted there and waited, he didn't believe that the old man would really eat people.

But waiting here is not an option, so he decided to search quietly.

When he found the old man, he found that he was digging a grave. It was a new grave!
"Really, they say they won't be buried here, but they just don't listen." The old man muttered while digging.

Xuanyuan Yi wanted to go out, but when he heard his muttering, he squatted down and waited.

Unexpectedly, the old man actually dug up a corpse. It seemed that he had been dead for a few days.

"Alas... Trouble!" The old man filled the tomb and dragged the corpse away!

Xuanyuan Yi followed behind.

The old man still put the body in a big pit with a lot of dry firewood in it, and he threw down a burning torch: "Ashes to ashes, ashes to ashes, don't blame me, old man, this is not a good place to bury bones."

Xuanyuan Yi came out and asked: "Old man, why did you burn the body?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, and said, "What? You still suspect that what I feed you is human flesh?"

Xuanyuan Yi shook his head: "No, I saw officers and soldiers trying to arrest you, they said you ate the corpse, so I wanted to report to you first."

The old man smiled and said, "Young man, you have a good heart, you didn't suspect me together and wanted to report to me instead."

Xuanyuan Yi said: "Now is not the time to talk about this, why on earth are you doing this?"

The old man sighed: "I'm actually a Taoist priest. I accidentally discovered the Yin-Yang Boundary Mountain here, so I live here in fear that someone will bury a corpse here. If a corpse is buried here, it will definitely become a corpse in seven days!"

Xuanyuan Yi asked: "Then you can tell the people down the mountain not to bury the corpse here!"

The old man sighed: "Originally, some people listened to the persuasion, but later some nobleman built another courtyard on the other side, and all the corpses from that side were moved here.

Those barren graves you see are all, there is nothing wrong with the bones, but I am afraid of the newly dead corpses, because the first seven have to go back to have a look, so the corpses here will become corpses.

Once he was allowed to climb out and go home to see his relatives, he would go berserk and start killing people randomly.

So I dug up the newly buried corpses here and burned them, and put the ashes back after the burning, so that there is no fear of corpses harming the world. "

Xuanyuan Yi nodded: "Well, but this kind of words will not be believed at all, do you have a way to deal with Shi Sha?"

The old man nodded: "I think you are brave and careful, if you are willing to help me, it will be no problem to deal with a corpse."

Xuanyuan Yi said: "Then we'll hide it, and we'll get rid of the corpses after the corpses appear here, so as to be convincing."

The old man patted his thigh: "That's right, I never thought that I could do this. I was really brainless at the time, and I was worried that the corpse would come out and harm people, but I didn't think about how to get rid of the serious trouble from the root."

Xuanyuan Yi smiled and said: "Now you have to find a place to hide, and don't let Rhubarb come out, if the villagers and officers and soldiers see it, they will definitely kill without mercy."

The old man nodded: "I see."

Xuanyuan Yi sighed: "I'll go out and have a look, if the situation changes, I'll come to you again!"

"Okay!" The old man looked at Xuanyuan Yi with a smile.

The soldiers guarded the old man for a period of time and then withdrew from the mountain area. The villagers also thought that the soldiers had killed the old man, so weddings and funerals continued as usual.

On this day, the family buried the coffin on a shady slope, and Xuanyuan Yi hurried to find the old man.

The old man appeared in front of the grave after the family members of the deceased left.

Xuanyuan Yi ran over: "Are you sure you will become a corpse?"

The old man nodded: "You will know at night, the moon is full these days, this corpse will be very powerful!"

"What's the difference between a full moon and a waning moon?" Xuanyuan Yi asked.

The old man took out a dry pipe from his back, lit it, sat in front of the grave and began to smoke. After taking a few puffs, he said: "This matter starts with my master's death!"

Xuanyuan Yi also sat down, ready to listen quietly.

"There's wild game over there. You can't cook it without a pot. You can deal with it. You can follow me to see the changes in this corpse in the past few days." The old man said.

"Okay!" Xuanyuan Yi nodded.

It was the first time to have barbecue in the cemetery, but Xuanyuan Yi didn't lose his appetite.

The old man chuckled: "My master's master was killed by Shi Sha, so my master searched for this kind of Yin-Yang Junction Mountain all his life, but unfortunately he couldn't find it when he was dying.

Fortunately, I met it, but I also found that the mountain at the junction of Yin and Yang can move, it does not appear fixedly, and it will shift places every hundred years.

Otherwise, my master wouldn't have searched for it all his life but couldn't find it. Now that I've stayed here for 30 years, I won't live long. I really don't know what to do here after I die. "

Xuanyuan Yi asked: "Then you never thought about what will happen after you die?"

The old man said with a smile: "Didn't you remind me of this? Maybe this time it will kill people, but it is better to kill a few people as a warning than to kill a village in the future!"

Xuanyuan Yi nodded: "That's true."

"Okay, hurry up and eat, and dig up when you're full. This time, I'll let you see what happens to the corpse under the moonlight!" said the old man.

Xuanyuan Yi raised his eyebrows: "This corpse is sealed with a coffin and covered with mud, the moonlight can't shine in at all, how did the corpse inside change?"

The old man said: "In fact, everything in the world is connected. Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth are all things that generate and restrain each other. If I investigate carefully, I can't explain why. Anyway, the moonlight shines on the corpse through the soil and bushes, and the corpse absorbs it." These moonlights will mutate."

Xuanyuan Yi nodded: "Let's stop digging and let it form naturally. Otherwise, if a villager comes tomorrow, it must be said that we did it."

The old man nodded: "Well, that's right, anyway, the moon is full, so if you listen carefully, you can definitely hear something strange."

Xuanyuan Yi nodded, it was already very late, the moon climbed up the treetops, but it hadn't been able to shine on this new tomb yet! "
