Chapter 29
"His every move is clean and ruthless, without sloppiness, and even the thousand-year-old corpse king has not gotten cheap in his hands."

Everyone heard the words and remembered the tragic death of the millennium corpse king, and they all nodded in agreement. That person's kung fu is as advanced as the little brother said.

Wu Xie reacted and asked, "What's the matter with the blood corpse?"

"After we fell into the trap..." Third Uncle described what they had seen and heard in the cave.Wu Xie was very surprised after hearing this: "So, someone killed the very powerful blood corpse first, and then killed the thousand-year corpse king?!"

"In the end he left unscathed?"

"How terrifying is the strength of this mysterious man!"

Speaking of the mysterious man, Wu Xie said excitedly again: "Third uncle, tell me, is it possible that we met this mysterious man in the river too!"

"That strange sound like an explosion, we heard it on the river, it can't be a coincidence!"

After hearing Wu Xie's guess, everyone didn't speak. In fact, they also doubted in their hearts. Is there a mysterious person who has been walking in front of them all the time?

After a long silence, the third uncle still couldn't figure it out: "Why did he come back to save us when he was walking ahead of us?"

"After all, the Millennium Corpse King is not easy to deal with. Even if he is very skilled, there is no need to take risks for a few strangers."

"Stranger..." Wu Xie recalled that vague figure, which was very familiar. Maybe it wasn't a stranger, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

The third uncle looked at the crowd in confusion, stood up and said, "Since we can't think of a reason, let's forget about it. Now that the threat of Zongzi is gone, let's hurry up and find more treasures!"

Among them, Fatty was the most seriously injured. After thinking about it for a while, the third uncle said, "Pan Zi, stay and protect Fatty. We will go ahead to find the way, and we will come back to find you when the time comes." Acting together, Pan Zi nodded: "Don't worry, take care of me."

……

The third uncle took Wu Xie and the younger brother to continue advancing towards the interior of the underground palace. As they had guessed, they did not encounter anything like zongzi, and the journey went very smoothly.

It didn't take long for them to come to the cave again. When they saw the words carved on the stone wall of the cave, they felt very strange.

Wu Xie is usually in the business of antique seals and reselling ancient books, and he is best at identifying these characters. He stepped forward and looked at the writing on it with difficulty. Everyone!"

After reading every word and sentence, Wu Xie was full of question marks. This is not the ancient inscription he thought, it turned out to be in simplified characters. This...is this?
The third uncle was also very puzzled. When he first came here, there were no words here.

This is the little brother who said: "The body of King Lu Shang is gone." Looking at the jade bed, there was only the well-preserved female corpse beside the jade bed, and the armored King Lu Shang was gone.

Seeing this situation, Wu Xie's scalp felt numb, no...wouldn't it be possible to trick a corpse into a rice dumpling again?

Wu Xie looked at the third uncle with pleading eyes, and the third uncle said in a deep voice, "Put down what's in your hand, we can't take anything this time!"

"I don't know if King Lu Shang cheated his corpse or was killed by that mysterious man, but—"

"The writing on the wall must have been left by the mysterious man. Since he said it so clearly, we can't act rashly. Go back and find out who this man is from!"

"We should try our best to make friends with such people, and we must not offend them easily."

........................

The sky turned white, and the night faded quietly.

Everything in the forest is silent, only the rustling of footsteps and the ringing of bells echoing in the valley.

"jingle--"

"Jingle bell—"

The bell kept ringing, and the birds, beasts, fish and insects in the forest did not dare to make the slightest movement. At this time, Shen Lin was constantly shuttling through the woods, with two corpses closely following behind him.

Passing through this inaccessible woods, Shen Lin saw the place where he was going to stay on this trip.

A dilapidated Chinese-style small building in front of it is located in the valley. There are two white paper lanterns hanging in front of the small building. The inside of the window is dark and ghostly. It doesn't seem like a place suitable for people to live in.But Shen Lin walked there quickly, without the slightest hesitation, and the two corpses behind him followed suit.

Although Shen Lin was able to travel several times faster than ordinary people because of the help of the "God's Walking Talisman", the distance between Eastern Province and S City was too far, and he couldn't make it back overnight.

At this time, the sky was getting brighter and brighter, and he had to bring the corpse into the small building before the sun rose.

Walking corpses cannot see the sun, so Shen Lin can only walk with them at night.In front of the wooden building was a thick old locust tree, and upon closer inspection, there was a dusty plaque hanging on it—the corpse inn. The corpse inn is a special place for corpse exorcisers to rest during the day. But now that the business of driving corpses has declined, locals mostly use it to park corpses.

Shen Lin pushed the door into the inn with the corpse, "Squeak—" the wooden door made an abrupt sound, one person and two corpses entered the door, with the slight vibration of footsteps, the roof began to continuously drop dust.

When Shen Lin entered the door, he saw the coffins neatly arranged in front of him. The sunlight outside the window shone on the rows of coffins, which looked very strange. The bats, insects and ants hidden in the wooden building were frightened by the visitors and fled one after another. The dense rustling sound made people get goosebumps, but Shen Lin had long been used to it. He calmly left the two corpses on the first floor where the morgue was dedicated, and walked to the second floor by himself.

The second floor is a place for people to rest. Compared with the downstairs, it is much tidier. It should be cleaned by someone occasionally.Shen Lin found a bare wooden bed, lay on it and fell asleep.

…………

At noon, a group of grandparents and grandchildren walked in the valley. The grandson was not as tall as the grass growing wildly in the forest. He struggled to push aside the grass in front of him, and complained to his grandpa, "Grandpa, it's such a hot day, what are you doing?" Why do you still have to go to that broken inn, you have been there all your life, and you have never even watched a mortician!”

The grandson didn't understand why grandpa didn't go to the city with his parents to enjoy the blessings when he was so old. He insisted on staying in the mountains and guarding a dilapidated house where no one lived.

The grandfather picked up the cigarette stick and shot the grandson's head, reprimanded: "You know a ball! Then you, a little doll, can see the mortician casually? Our family is the descendant of the corpse inn. You grew up You have to watch the inn for me in the future!"

When the old man said this, his tone suddenly became gentle, he rubbed his grandson's bulging head, and said with a smile: "Little baby, I won't study anymore, come back and watch the store with grandpa." The grandfather, who was still fast, said angrily: "Everyone else's grandfather wants his grandson to go to a good university, but you are lucky!"
