Infinite Puzzle City

Chapter 291: Zhenxian Temple
After the female corpse finished speaking, her body suddenly shook in pain.

The woman lying on the coffin nearby poked her finger into her heart and said, "Dead man, just shut up!"

As he spoke, he poked the corpse hard with his fingertips. A look of pain appeared on the female corpse's face. After trying to struggle for a few times, she finally closed her eyes again.

After getting rid of the female corpse, the woman turned her head to look at Xiao Ran.

"Oh my, I wanted to spare your life. After all, it's not easy to find such a good corpse craftsman nowadays."

Xiao Ran smiled bitterly when he heard this: "So, you plan to kill me too?"

"It would be a pity to kill him. Let's have some fun tonight. Dying under the peony flowers will be a romantic experience even as a ghost."

The woman said this and opened her arms to hug Xiao Ran.

Xiao Ran just turned sideways to avoid the woman's hand, but the woman was prepared. She opened her mouth and spit out a black mist. Suddenly, yin energy surged around, and countless white bones appeared out of thin air around Xiao Ran. They stretched out their hands and firmly grasped Xiao Ran's legs.

Seeing this, Xiao Ran frowned and asked, "Aren't you afraid of doing this? As far as I know, reversing yin and yang will send you to the eighteen hells."

Seeing Xiao Ran's endless chatter, the woman immediately lost her patience. Her skin split open, revealing a goat's head. She opened her hands and grabbed Xiao Ran, screaming, "We crawled out of hell!!"

"Jingle Bell……"

But she didn't expect that just as she was in mid-air, her body suddenly tensed up, and a long whip wrapped around her body. The familiar smell on the whip made the woman tremble involuntarily: "Locking God Whip, who are you!!"

"Ah~" Xiao Ran sighed, holding the [Locking God Whip] in one hand and taking out the [Suppressing Evil Order] from his pocket with the other hand, he raised his head and said, "That's really unfortunate, this time you don't even have the chance to go to hell."

Privilege 1: Underworld

After activation, you will be blessed with the identity of Hades Messenger, and gain the unique skills of Hades Messenger, the Evil-Repelling Seal, and the Demon-Suppressing Spell.

As the words fell, a dark red glow appeared on Xiao Ran's body, and a familiar breath came to her face. The goat head revealed a horrified expression like a human.

"You are a jinx!!"

Xiao Ran did not respond, but moved his lips and teeth slightly, and chanted a string of demon-suppressing spells: "Ami-redo, Vigalanti, Ami-redo..."

As the curse was cast, the woman's body seemed to be on fire and she let out a heart-wrenching howl.

The woman turned to ashes in the flames, and the surrounding bones disappeared along with her.

"Ding! You sewed up Jiang Chenyan's body, scored A, and gained 200 energy points."

"You have sewed up Jiang Chenyan's body. Do you want to seize the business?"

"Seize the business!"

Xiao Ran was not interested in the skills of the female corpse, but was just curious about where the so-called True Immortal Temple was.

Xiao Ran flipped through the woman's memory book. He felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that this 30-year-old woman had such rich life experience.

It would be fine if she was just hooking up with her own son-in-law, but why is she giving enlightenment lessons to her eldest nephew?

In order to learn more about Zhenxian Temple, Xiao Ran could only read the contents carefully with a critical eye.

Fortunately, there is not much content, and the rest is all about Zhenxian Temple.

Xiao Ran scanned the page quickly.

The content came to his mind.

After reading it, I couldn't help but gasp.

"Hedong is about to fall into the hands of Zhenxian Temple, and the people outside didn't even notice it."

Most of the officials in Hedong, whether high or low, who were of a certain rank, had become slaves of Zhenxian Temple.

The Zhenxian Temple uses the method of recruiting people to trick them into participating in the so-called ascension ceremonies. In fact, it summons some evil ghosts, attaches them to these people's bodies, kills them brutally, and then sews them up. The evil ghosts will also come back to life through the bodies.

The more cruel the means of killing, the stronger the resentment of the corpse, and the stronger the evil spirit awakened will be.

“Could this be the evil ghost that Lu Cheng mentioned?”

"The Yellow Disaster, the Evil Ghost, and the Man-Made Disaster. Two of the three disasters have already appeared. As for the Man-Made Disaster, it probably won't be too far away. Since the Zhenxian Temple wants to sew up the corpses, I might as well stay here. The corpses that are continuously sent here will just help me quickly increase the energy value of the Suppressing Evil Order."

He put the woman's clothes back on and put her back into the coffin.

He turned around and went back to his room to sleep.

When the rooster crowed the next day, the officials from the yamen arrived early. They looked into the coffin and saw that the woman was already lying inside.

Then Master Lu carefully checked it and made sure that it had been sutured. He nodded and signaled his men to quickly send the body to Zhenxian Temple.

In the surrounding thatched houses, some people did not sleep all night and lay in the gap behind the window to watch. They were not worried about Xiao Ran, but they were worried that if Xiao Ran did not complete the task, the task would fall on their heads.

Of course, there were also people who gloated over other people’s misfortune, such as Yang Jian, whose eyes were constantly darting back and forth between the coffin and the thatched hut where Xiao Ran was.

Just wait for Mr. Lu and the others to leave, then I can rush in and grab the bed and bedding first.

"Hey, Master Lu, you haven't paid the bill yet."

Just as Mr. Lu and others were about to leave, they saw Xiao Ran sticking his head out of the window and shouting.

Upon hearing this, Master Lu couldn't help but stop, his eyes widened, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he couldn't believe what he saw. His eyes were full of confusion and surprise, his lips slightly opened and he asked in surprise: "You're not dead?"

"Why isn't he dead?!"

Seeing Xiao Ran jumping out of the room in high spirits, everyone followed him out of their respective huts, looking at Xiao Ran with strange expressions.

This kind of weird corpse is delivered here once a month.

If it is any other corpse, the probability of encountering evil is not very high. Sometimes, even if you encounter it, as long as you are brave and careful, you can survive it.

But anyone who encounters this strange corpse will not be able to live to see tomorrow's sunrise.

At this moment, Xiao Ran was not only alive, but also seemed to be sleeping well.

"Master Lu, what are you saying? How can you curse me for no reason?"

Xiao Ran stretched lazily as he walked out of the door, and opened his hands towards Mr. Lu in front of him: "We agreed on one hundred yuan."

After hearing Xiao Ran's words, Mr. Lu was stunned for a few seconds before he came to his senses.

I touched my pocket awkwardly. This bunch of money, which was probably 1000 copper coins, weighed about four or five pounds. Who would have the time to carry it with them?

The reason why he said this number was because he was certain that Xiao Ran would not live to see tomorrow.

So even if he did have the money, he wouldn't carry it with him.

So he bit it, took out a small piece from his arms and threw it to Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran took it and weighed it gently in his hand for a few times, probably about one or two taels. This time he nodded with satisfaction and said;

"Thank you, sir. If you have any corpses with complicated diseases in the future, just send them to me. I guarantee that Master Lu will be satisfied."

"it is good!"

Master Lu pursed his lips and looked at Xiao Ran carefully from top to bottom with a meaningful look: "Okay, okay, okay, do a good job, let's go!"

After watching Master Lu and the others leave, Old Man Song and the others came up and asked, "Are you...are you really okay?"

"It's okay. I'm fine. I sewed up the body last night and then went to sleep. What's the matter?"

Xiao Ran didn't lie. He did go to bed early after sewing up the corpse.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay."

Old Man Song let out a long sigh, and it was obvious that he really cared about Xiao Ran.

"Master, I'm new here, so take this little money and help buy some food and wine for the brothers. Just think of it as my treat."

Xiao Ran handed the silver piece to Old Man Song, and everyone around him was immediately overjoyed.

One tael of silver may not seem like much, but in reality, even a waiter in a restaurant would only earn a few cents a month.

Although one tael of silver could not allow them to eat the best delicacies from land and sea, it was enough for these people to have a full meal, no, even two meals.

"Brother Xiao, I am sorry for offending you before. I didn't realize that you are such a skilled person."

No matter how lightly Xiao Ran said it, any old person who has spent some time here should know how weird these corpses are. They are definitely not as simple as Xiao Ran said.

People say this just because they are being humble and polite and don't want to easily expose their skills.

Everyone can hear the polite words, but some people can't. For example, when Yang Jian saw that Xiao Ran was still alive, he was as dejected as an eggplant hit by frost.

I just thought that this guy was lucky.

As everyone was chatting, they suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Hurry up, hurry up, the fourth brother is dead!"

Everyone was startled and rushed over. Just twenty steps away from Xiao Ran, there was the same thatched hut.

I saw a corpse hanging upside down in the air, its back torn open, and its intestines and internal organs eaten cleanly..."
