Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 239

"what!"

"All right."

Yin Meng hooked her finger, and the insect flew back, circled around her finger, and then disappeared into her sleeve.

Lin Shuyou did not rush to put on his clothes. Instead, he turned his back to the mirror on the wall, turned his head and found a blood hole the size of a little finger on his back.

"I was wondering why it hurts so much today."

Yin Meng took out a Band-Aid, put it on Lin Shuyou, and explained, "Sorry, I've been practicing a new secret method taught by Brother Xiaoyuan with it recently, and it may have gone a little too far in its practice."

This small wound was nothing, so Lin Shuyou naturally wouldn't get angry. Instead, he asked curiously:

"What secret method?"

"Brother Xiaoyuan created it based on its characteristics and mine. It's still in the practice phase. If it works..."

"How about it?"

“It’s quite hurtful.”

“Then I’m really looking forward to it.”

After putting on his clothes, Lin Shuyou walked into Tan Wenbin's room.

At this time, Tan Wenbin was curled up in the corner of the bed with several books in front of him. His eyes were slightly open, and there seemed to be a hint of frost on his eyebrows.

When Lin Shuyou came in, he instinctively felt the cold air in the room and began to actively repel it.

Tan Wenbin raised his eyelids and the rejection disappeared.

"Brother Bin, good morning."

"Well, morning."

"How long did you sleep last night?"

"I lost consciousness for a short while."

"So that counts as sleeping, right?"

“Just think of it as a deep sleep.”

Lin Shuyou first took the books off the bed, then put clothes on Brother Bin, and then carried Brother Bin downstairs and put him in the wheelchair.

According to the custom, after pushing the dam down, they first turned into the peach forest to visit Runsheng who was still soaking in the water.

The water level in this pit is dynamic. Every time it overflows at the beginning and then decreases day by day. However, Brother Xiaoyuan has a way to fill it up again.

"Brother Bin, I think Runsheng's injuries seem to have almost recovered."

"Let's make as many bubbles as possible. This is a rare opportunity."

"So that's it."

"Come on, push me and take a walk to the river."

"okay."

After pushing the cart to the riverside, Tan Wenbin raised his hand to signal to stop.

"That's it. Let me be alone here for a while."

"Then I'll come back later."

"okay."

After Lin Shuyou left, Tan Wenbin shrank back into his wheelchair.

In my ears, I could hear the soft whispers of two children.

Brother Xiaoyuan was right. After the two children woke up, Tan Wenbin's situation became even more difficult. His body and soul suffered from the pain of ice needle piercing every day.

The two children could also sense their godfather’s torment, so they tried to sleep more and didn’t move much. When they did communicate, they would keep the “voice” as low as possible to reduce the fluctuations of their own ghost energy.

Both sides actually have no quality of life to speak of now, but fortunately, no matter how hard or difficult it is, they can just get through this period. Tan Wenbin feels like he has experienced in advance the feeling of parents accompanying their children in the final sprint for the college entrance examination.

In front, two young men came over with schoolbags on their backs. Tan Wenbin recognized them. They were Xiaoyuan's relatives, Pan Zi and Lei Zi.

Pan Zi and Lei Zi had given up on the college entrance examination a long time ago, so naturally there was no urgency to study. The two of them squatted in front of Tan Wenbin. Lei Zi took out some loose cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Pan Zi, and started puffing away.

They can't see Tan Wenbin.

Pan Zi: "This is really meaningless."

Lei Zi: "Who said it wasn't?"

Pan Zi: "My parents knew that I couldn't pass the exam with my grades, so I said I might as well drop out of school early and work in a kiln factory for two more months. But they refused and wanted me to continue to take the college entrance examination to try my luck. Oh, when it comes to taking exams, you either know how to do it or you don't. How can you rely on luck?"

The dropping out here does not mean really dropping out. Generally, before the junior high school entrance examination or the college entrance examination, the class teacher would like to see the students at the bottom of the class give up voluntarily. This will not only not affect other students but also increase the admission rate. The students can then come to the school to get their diploma.

Lei Zi: "My parents are also daydreaming the same thing. Let me tell you, the only people in our Li family who have brains are my aunt's family. Look at my aunt, then look at Yuan Zi, what are we doing all this nonsense for?"

Young people have a lot on their minds, and they can’t finish talking about them all night long. But sometimes their thoughts are very short, as short as the time it takes to smoke a cigarette, because they have no other cigarette in their pockets.

Throwing the cigarette butt away, the two stood up and prepared to leave. Coincidentally, they walked towards the position where Tan Wenbin was behind them.

Tan Wenbin raised a finger and shook it gently.

"Ouch."

Pan Zi staggered and was supported by Lei Zi.

"What's the matter with you?"

"The left foot tripped over the right foot."

“Ha, hahahaha!”

The two of them carried their schoolbags, walked away arm in arm, in a casual manner.

The sun gradually came out and became brighter. Tan Wenbin shrank into his wheelchair and closed his eyes.

Not long after I closed my eyes, I heard the sound of a motorcycle on the village road in the distance.

Tan Wenbin was very familiar with this engine sound. Whenever he heard this sound at home, he would jump up immediately, turn off the TV and put the remote control back in its place.

It's not that he hasn't considered some means of cooling down the situation, but he's too lazy to bother with it. He can't fool his father anyway, so he just needs to keep a proper attitude. As long as his father is not in a bad mood when he comes home, he generally won't cause trouble for him.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Tan Yunlong riding a motorcycle past. After a while, I saw Tan Yunlong riding a motorcycle back.

He didn't go to Uncle Li's house, he was just wandering around the village.

Tan Yunlong left with nothing.

Tan Wenbin continued to close his eyes and enjoy the sun.

The sun gradually rose higher and three hours passed. In the middle, Lin Shuyou came once, and seeing that Brother Bin was still enjoying himself, he left again.

"Jingle Bell……"

Hey, there's that familiar car bell sound again.

Tan Wenbin opened his eyes again and this time saw Zhou Yunyun. He was familiar with her bicycle bell. She used to ride that bicycle to go to and from school.

Why hasn’t she returned to Jinling to go to school yet? Is the vacation so long?

Sitting in a wheelchair, Tan Wenbin felt like he was sitting at a grave, waiting for his relatives to visit him one after another.

What’s even more strange is that Zhou Yunyun actually parked his bicycle by the village road, and then walked towards here along the river.

She passed in front of Tan Wenbin, then squatted down diagonally in front of him.

Tan Wenbin leaned in his wheelchair, tilted his head, and looked at his partner.

I've lost weight, and there's less fat on my face.

This won’t do. I have to eat more quickly. It won’t look good if I’m too thin.

The two children on Tan Wenbin's shoulders put their index fingers in their mouths, looked at Zhou Yunyun for a while, then turned their heads to look at their godfather for a while, and finally the two children looked at each other and smiled.

After looking at the river for a long time, Zhou Yunyun stood up, walked back to the village road, and rode away on his bicycle.

Brother Xiaoyuan said that not only did he look more dead than a dead person, but in fact, he should be in a state of "deader than dead".

Therefore, for people who are really close to each other, there will be an inexplicable feeling, that is, a sense of emptiness and panic in the heart.

After a while, Lin Shuyou came over.

"Brother Bin, are you going home?"

"You directed her here?"

Tan Wenbin believes in love, but he doesn't believe that love can penetrate his own magic.

"Ah?" Lin Shuyou scratched his head awkwardly, "I thought you wanted to see her, Brother Bin. I just ran into her in the village and told her that you used to like sitting here in the breeze and daydreaming."

"Yeah, well done."

"hey-hey."

"Okay, Ayou, push me back."

"okay."

"Woof woof woof. Woof woof woof!"

A yellow and white dog was barking almost crazily, and several villagers were hitting it with branches and stones.

This dog just bit someone and it's obviously gone mad. We can't keep it alive, but since we don't have any useful weapons on hand, no one dares to approach it easily. After being bitten, we will have to get a lot of injections, which is too troublesome.

At this time, Lin Shuyou pushed Tan Wenbin over. The mad dog saw that there were many people on the opposite side, turned around, and immediately pounced on Lin Shuyou to bite him.

Lin Shuyou just let go of the wheelchair and was about to step forward and kick it to death, but before the mad dog got close, it suddenly let out a wail, its limbs stiffened, and after rubbing its body against the ground, it fell to the ground and could not get up. Then, blood flowed out of the dog's mouth.

Ah You looked back at Brother Bin in surprise. Dealing with a mad dog is a trivial matter. The main thing is the way to deal with it.

Just now, Lin Shuyou did not notice the murderous intent from Brother Bin, nor did he sense how Brother Bin cast the spell, and the mad dog died suddenly.

"Brother Bin..."

"curse."

Tan Wenbin just cursed that mad dog to death.

"Brother Bin, your current method is a bit scary."

There was no intention to kill, he was cursed to death instantly.

Although we know that it cannot produce such miraculous effects on real Taoists or evil spirits, it is already very terrifying even if it is aimed at ordinary people.

"I didn't suffer this in vain." Tan Wenbin narrowed his eyes. "If my body fails but I don't improve my strength, wouldn't I be holding the team back?"

After the villagers ran over to confirm that the dog was dead, they left. When they left, they pointed at Lin Shuyou and asked him to deal with the dog's body. No one dared to eat such a mad dog.

Lin Shuyou picked up the mad dog's body and pushed Tan Wenbin back to the bearded man's house.

Brother Xiaoyuan was standing on the dam.

"Brother Xiaoyuan!"

Li Zhuiyuan walked over here, motioned Lin Shuyou to lift up his clothes, checked his physical condition, and frowned slightly.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, what's wrong?"

"Take some time to tell the boy that there is no need to be too demanding in body transformation. The cost will increase and it will be less cost-effective as time goes by. He is now focusing on the details."

"okay, I get it."

Li Zhuiyuan looked at Tan Wenbin who was sitting in a wheelchair and asked, "Do you regret it?"

Tan Wenbin tried to act relaxed and said, "How could that be possible? I feel like I'm so much stronger now."

Li Zhuiyuan: "What's wrong with this dog?"

Lin Shuyou: "The mad dog bit someone and was cursed to death by Brother Bin. I'm going to find some grass to burn it."

Li Zhuiyuan: "Keep it for now, it's just right for Yin Meng."

Lin Shuyou was surprised and asked, "Meng Meng can even use mad dogs to make drugs now?"

At this time, Yin Meng walked out of the house holding a pile of formation materials.

Li Zhuiyuan handed a stack of formation design drawings to Lin Shuyou: "Go and help Mengmeng set up the formation for Brother Runsheng."

"it is good."

Lin Shuyou threw the mad dog's body into the corner, washed his hands, and walked into the peach forest with Yin Meng.

Li Zhuiyuan went to push Tan Wenbin's wheelchair. The wheelchair was very heavy. Although Tan Wenbin was very thin now, it was still heavy. However, it was still easy for the young man to push it.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, Runsheng is about to wake up."

"Yeah. I wanted to let him soak for a while longer, but his wild nature awakened first."

When they arrived at the edge of the pit, Lin Shuyou and Yin Meng had already planted a lot of formation flags around it.

Li Zhuiyuan was certain that no matter how crazy Runsheng became, he would not hurt him. But if Runsheng left here, he would show no mercy to ordinary living things.

Therefore, before helping Runsheng regain his self-awareness, he had to restrict his personal freedom first.

The formation was set up. Li Zhuiyuan squatted down beside the pit and tapped Runsheng on the forehead with his fingers.

Runsheng opened his eyes, and they were all white, without a single bit of black.

He instinctively opened his mouth, exerted force from his waist, and tried to bite the boy off like a wild beast.

But before his body left the water, Li Zhuiyuan activated the formation and Runsheng was forced to lie back down and could only struggle slightly in the water.

Li Zhuiyuan said to Lin Shuyou and Yin Meng, "You two should arrange shifts. Every six hours, someone must come here to check and replace the damaged array materials."

Yin Meng: "Brother Xiaoyuan, Runsheng..."

Li Zhuiyuan: "In fact, I can help him regain consciousness right now, but his wildness has just begun to emerge. If I want him to be able to better face and suppress this wildness in the future, I have to wait until his wildness is fully aroused before I can proceed with the next step of treatment."

Tan Wenbin: "Only in this way can we avoid losing control easily in the future, and Runsheng can better control this power."

Li Zhuiyuan: "It seems you have been reading a lot of books recently."

Tan Wenbin: "There is nothing else to do except read books. It's a pity that I didn't fall into this state when I was in high school, otherwise I would have done better in the college entrance examination."

Li Zhuiyuan asked Yin Meng, "Have you set up the temporary formation on the dam?"

Yin Meng: "Not yet, I'll go right away."

Soon, the disposable formation on the dam was also set up.

For this reason, Xiao Yingying specially put all the paper-made things that were originally placed there into the house, and then went to Li Sanjiang's house with Benben in her arms.

Yin Meng stood inside the formation, with the corpse of the mad dog placed in front of her.

Lin Shuyou stood by with an expectant look on his face. He was very curious about what secret method Brother Xiaoyuan had tailored for Mengmeng and Gu Chong.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Ayou."

"Yes, Brother Xiaoyuan."

"Don't just watch, be ready to respond at any time."

"clear."

Lin Shuyou straightened his back and stood at the edge of the formation.

Li Zhuiyuan: "Mengmeng, it's time to start."

Yin Meng nodded, took a step forward, and waved his hands to form seals.

Because they are not yet proficient enough and have not yet fully understood the true meaning of the secret technique, the foreplay has to be more complicated and Yin Meng dare not miss any step.

Lin Shuyou felt that Yin Meng's steps were somewhat familiar, but Brother Xiaoyuan was here, and the boy did not dare to communicate with him openly.

Tan Wenbin, who was sitting in a wheelchair, asked, "Sacrificial dance?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Xingxiu Yinyangbu is a type of Nuo opera, a branch of shamanism, used to communicate with gods and ghosts, and is also often used in ancestor worship."

After completing the steps and making the seals, Yin Meng let out a low shout, held the incense in his left hand and the talisman in his right hand, and after shaking them three times, the incense and talisman lit up, and he raised his arms high in the ceremony of bowing.

The next moment, the poisonous insect flew out of Yin Meng's body and directly entered the corpse of the mad dog.

Soon, the mad dog's body began to swell like a balloon. Just when it looked like it was about to burst, dense holes appeared on the body, and the body quickly shrank back. The flesh on it began to rot, and then it began to roll like boiling water.

Tan Wenbin: "Sacrifice... Who is this sacrifice to?"

Li Zhuiyuan: "Who else can I give it to?"

Tan Wenbin: "Emperor Fengdu?"

Li Zhuiyuan: “Yes.”

Why are the dishes cooked by Yin Meng poisonous? Ordinary people cannot enjoy them because what she cooks are tributes.

Based on Yin Meng's characteristics, Li Zhuiyuan asked her to offer the mad dog's body to the Emperor of Fengdu in a sacrificial ceremony, so that she could receive something in return from the emperor.

Ordinary people would not dare to do this. After all, who would dare to offer a mad dead dog to the emperor?

Li Zhuiyuan had no such concerns, because if he was arrested and brought back to Fengdu one day, when the emperor read out his crimes, the person in front of him... would not even be worthy of being listed on the top.

Suddenly, a group of black insects crawled out from the rotten meat, one of which was the real body of the poisonous insect, emitting golden light.

Yin Meng is trying hard to control these newly born insects through his own poisonous insects.

The swarm of insects began to arrange themselves on the ground, and everything seemed to be in order.

But when Yin Meng was about to control them to fly, pairs of ladybug-like wings spread out and flapped, and the insects flew up collectively.

But soon, the originally neat queue began to become chaotic, with insects constantly colliding with each other and falling down, colliding everywhere, and the whole scene began to become a mess.

Immediately afterwards, all the insects, whether they were landed or flying, fell into extreme restlessness and agitation. Finally, they all pounced towards Yin Meng, intending to retaliate!
Li Zhuiyuan: "Ahyou!"

Lin Shuyou appeared behind Yin Meng and pulled her out of the formation. The poisonous insect was not slow either, and it also quickly rushed out and fell back into Yin Meng's sleeve.

Li Zhuiyuan clenched his palms, the formation was activated, and all the insects inside were crushed instantly.

Yin Meng: "Brother Xiaoyuan, I'm too stupid. I failed..."

Li Zhuiyuan: "The mad dog corpse is still a bit difficult. Let's start with the simplest one. Ask Aunt Liu to bring you some extra meat when she buys groceries every day. There's no limit to the type, as long as it's fresh."

Yin Meng: "Okay, I understand."

Yin Meng walked into the house, took out an altar, and performed the sacrifice solemnly again.

This was what Brother Xiaoyuan taught her. Every time she practiced this secret technique, no matter whether she succeeded or not, she had to make a formal offering to the Emperor as a token of apology.

The candlelight flickered on the altar, and Yin Meng lit the yellow paper and put it into the brazier.

Suddenly, even though there was no wind, the burning yellow paper swirled and flew out, and finally fell into the wine bowl on the altar, turning into ashes.

Yin Meng: "Brother Xiaoyuan, there are words..."

"Are you being asked to return home to worship your ancestors?"

"no……"

Li Zhuiyuan walked over and looked down.

Four extremely distorted words appeared in the bowl——【Return to the Sect and Become a Disciple】
