Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 123 Ancient Corpse
Ran Qing's whisper made Mo Li's expression change slightly.

"The evil god is watching us?"

She subconsciously looked up, but could only see the strange and jagged stalactites on the top of the cave.

But the pale limestone now seemed strangely eerie, as if a gigantic, hideous face truly existed at the top of the cave, sneer-smiling at them.

Mo Li looked at Ran Qing and asked, "Since He is watching us, can you try to summon ghosts and gods? Can you negotiate with Him directly?"

The ghost walkers are already proficient in this ritual.

But Ran Qing shook his head with an unpleasant expression: "I can do it, but I can't talk about it."

"When the Yin-walkers negotiate with the evil lords and demons, they rely on special means to exploit their weaknesses and force them into submission."

"It's called negotiation, but it's actually coercion and intimidation."

"If we dig out the statue from underground, we'll have the leverage to negotiate with it."

"That statue carries His power and is closely connected to Him. I can use it to curse Him."

"But now that we can't get the statue, there's no room for negotiation."

Ran Qing's brain was working rapidly, trying to find a way out.

A strange and powerful evil deity actually watched over this dilapidated Taoist temple, suppressing a thousand-year-old ghost for the three believers who dedicated themselves to it twelve years ago. Now that the evil spirits in the tunnels have been replaced, it continues to search for a scapegoat...

This evil god is a little too dedicated.

Your three believers back then have all died and come back to life, so why are you still caring about this broken Taoist temple?

Mo Li looked at Ran Qing and said, "Tell me, is there a possibility that the old ghost hiding in the dark will help us?"

In the shadows, the girl's eyes flickered, emitting a strange light.

She whispered, "Since that old ghost wants to lead us to dig up the statue in the yard, and now we are blocked by the evil god, it can't just sit there and watch..."

Ran Qing took out the destiny card, looked at the empty and gloomy wooden card, and muttered.

"If that old ghost jumps out, it might be even more troublesome..."

The whereabouts of that old ghost are still unknown. He might have been suppressed by the evil god in a corner of the Taoist temple and unable to move.

It's a good thing that it doesn't come out.

If it really pops out, then I'll have to face the power of the evil god and a thousand-year-old ghost...

"And that old ghost is probably not a ghost..."

Ran Qing took out the seven-star nails from the canvas bag. These were the only things Aunt Liu had told him to bring with him.

But the Seven-Star Nail is used to deal with zombies.

That old ghost was originally a thousand-year-old corpse that crawled out of an ancient tomb...

When Mo Li saw the seven-star nail, his expression changed and he understood what Ran Qing meant.

But before she could say anything, a sharp and strange scratching sound suddenly came from outside.

It felt like some sharp object was scratching and scraping against the roof door panel.

The piercing sound made one's scalp tingle.

The three clay statues that were blocking the stairs suddenly moved.

Their heavy footsteps left the stairs and moved clumsily outside, as if they were running and had found a new target.

Mo Li laughed dryly and said, "That old ghost really showed up..."

Ran Qing took a deep breath, took out the Nuo opera mask with a grim expression, and said, "There's no other way, I can only charge!"

The ancient corpse from the Han Dynasty crawled out from outside, along with three clay statues of gods.

At this moment, this dilapidated Taoist temple was extremely lively.

But Ran Qing had no choice. If he hesitated any longer, he would really be stuck here.

The three pairs of shoes behind him took another silent step closer...

Ran Qing put on the mask and rushed up the stairs.

Behind the dark shrine, Ran Qing suddenly rushed out like a poisonous snake out of a cave.

He quickly jumped onto the shrine and looked towards the door.

The blood-red eyes beneath the mask stared coldly at the clay statue in the main hall.

The three statues had already crowded to the main hall entrance. One of the headless statues was running clumsily into the courtyard, seemingly chasing something. The remaining two statues stood at the main hall entrance, motionless.

Ran Qing suddenly jumped out without making any sound, but they turned their heads suddenly, as if they had eyes on the back of their heads and saw Ran Qing, and ran towards Ran Qing again.

There were no windows in the old hall, it was just a square box made of cement brick walls.

The two clay statues blocked the gate on the left and right, which was more flexible than Ran Qing had expected.

——Can such a heavy clay statue be so flexible?

Ran Qing was a little shocked.

He quickly jumped up from the shrine, grabbed the nearest beam, and then shook his body and climbed up like a horizontal bar.

Below, the two headless statues were running towards them, and the hall seemed to be shaking.

Seeing Ran Qing holding onto the beam and climbing up, one of the statues picked up the incense burner on the shrine and smashed it directly at Ran Qing.

Hearing the sound of something breaking through the air, Ran Qing quickly dodged, luckily he was not hit.

These two headless statues are still a bit dull and not that accurate.

Seeing that the incense burner did not hit the target, they climbed up the shrine one after another and tried to grab Ran Qing on the beam.

This hall was built very low, and Ran Qing could jump up with a little effort by standing on the shrine.

The two headless statues are much taller, and they can reach the beam when they stand up.

Seeing the headless statue climbing up the shrine, Ran Qing hurriedly crawled along the beam and crawled towards the door.

boom--

There was a dull sound, and the beam that Ran Qing was holding shook.

The two headless statues actually grabbed the beam and tried to pull it down by force.

Ran Qing quickly let go and jumped off the beam.

The moment I landed, my soles felt a stinging pain.

But he didn't dare to stay, and rushed out the door while enduring the pain.

In the dark and gloomy courtyard, a headless statue was running towards this side.

The statue that was led away actually came back.

Ran Qing hurriedly ran outside, but he did not run towards the apricot tree, but ran in the opposite direction.

From the main hall behind him, a vibration sound followed.

The two clay statues actually chased out this time.

One of them was guarding the gate of the Taoist temple, while the remaining two clay statues were bulky but flexible and surrounded Ran Qing.

Ran Qing ran to the back of the hall and saw a low tiled house, which should be where the three tomb robbers lived and slept.

This tiled house is even lower than the main hall in front.

Ran Qing quickly jumped up, using his jumping ability that he didn't usually have to grab the low eaves of the tile house with both hands, and then struggled to crawl onto the roof.

After climbing onto the eaves and standing on the fragile tiles, Ran Qing looked down from above and saw the two headless clay statues surrounding him gloomily.

In the direction of the main hall, two dark shadows, Xiaomianhua and Mo Li, ran out at the same time.

The clay statue guarding the gate of the Taoist temple was stunned for a moment, as if it didn't expect someone to come out.

It tried to get up and chase after him, but after two steps, it retreated back to the door to guard it.

It seems that blocking the door is more important.

Just like that, Xiao Mianhua and Mo Li ran unhindered directly to the shade of the apricot tree.

And there was a dull vibration sound coming from under Ran Qing's feet.

The two clay statues actually picked up stones on the ground and threw them at Ran Qing who was on the eaves.

Ran Qing suddenly saw a strange black shadow curled up on the edge of the roof of the low tiled house out of the corner of his eye.

That thing, like a decayed corpse, hid in the shadows and stared straight at Ran Qing...

The moment he saw the mummy, Ran Qing's heart skipped a beat.

This thing is actually hiding on this eaves!
