Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 266 Deep-frying
Ran Qing recalled the contents of the ghost banquet while listening to the loud shouts of the phantom of the murderer before her.

I know it's time to start the second level.

He was under immense pressure, filled with unease about the eerie raccoon and fear of the coffin in the backyard.

But once the ghost feast begins, it is difficult to stop.

Moreover, the ghost feast can indeed make the living aura on their bodies disappear.

Even if the zombie in the backyard came looking for them, it shouldn't be able to detect the four living people in the house.

Continuing the ghost feast is now a way to protect oneself from zombies.

The only problem is, if the flying zombies inside really come out, how will they escape from the flying zombies' pursuit after passing the nine levels and capturing the vengeful ghost?

Ran Qing's mind raced, but her hands were already striking the small drum in front of her.

Continue following the procedure of the ghost banquet.

Second pass.

dong dong dong-

A dull thud was heard, and Xiong Dacheng, who was holding a large knife, grinned and walked straight out the door.

Immediately afterwards, a chilling sound of a knife chopping meat came from outside the door.

The dull, heavy sound of chopping meat was deafening.

Soon, Xiong Dacheng walked in, dragging a bloody arm.

He threw the bloody arm directly onto the table and said, "Master, this is a hand. Do you think it's the left or the right hand?"

The bloodied arm slammed down in front of Ran Qing, but passed right through the bowls and chopsticks on the table, feeling weightless.

As the bloody arm crashed down, the right hand of the ghostly figure on the main seat quickly lost its black color, revealing itself.

It was a withered, bony hand, huddled inside a large, patched garment.

The deceased appeared to be in dire financial straits, as evidenced by the several large, conspicuous patches on his sleeves.

Ran Qing looked at the ghostly figure, only to find that the ghost was just giving a sinister, cold laugh, but remained silent.

When passing the first hurdle, it suddenly attacked, almost causing Xiong Dacheng to chop off Ran Qing's head.

Now it's shut up and won't say anything...

Ran Qing stared warily at the ghostly figure and answered Xiong Dacheng's question: "It's the right hand."

Xiong Dacheng's phantom immediately clapped and laughed: "That's right! It's the right hand!?"
Under the shocked gazes of Ran Qing and the others, Xiong Dacheng removed all the flesh from his entire arm and quickly chopped it up on the table.

Sitting in the main seat, witnessing the bizarre state of his right arm's gruesome death, his face turned deathly pale, and a flicker of fear flashed in his eyes.

This is the power of the Ghost Feast, awakening the latent fear of death within its memory.

But the shock and fear of Ran Qing and the others were no less than that of the evil spirits.

Murder is one thing, but what kind of madman is Xiong Dacheng, who raises ghosts? Not only did he kill people, but he also chopped up the victims and fried them?
This extremely cruel method of killing exceeds the limits of what ordinary people can endure.

The second hurdle was cleared easily and effortlessly.

When Xiong Dacheng was reenacting his murder, the evil spirit had the opportunity to lure Xiong Dacheng to kill Ran Qing.

But the vengeful ghost simply sat in the main seat, completely motionless.

The second test was only over when Xiong Dacheng scooped out the pot of fried meatballs, put them on a plate, and fed them to the dog.

It's interesting to see that Xiong Dacheng is feeding the meatballs to the dogs instead of using them for other disgusting things.

At that moment, Ran Qing admitted he felt a sense of relief. He was truly afraid of seeing Xiong Dacheng eat it himself, or give it to someone else...

After the second challenge ended, Xiong Dacheng plopped down in his seat and drank a cup of water that the paper figure had poured for him.

Suddenly, a piercing cat's meow rang out.

The same raccoon dog from before has reappeared.

It appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of Ran Qing, its bright green eyes staring straight at her.

Then, the black raccoon jumped onto Ran Qing's shoulder.

Everything was the same as before, with the eerie tanuki taking turns jumping on faces.

Except for the demon whose rotten head had regained dominance, the tanuki landed on everyone's shoulders.

This time, the raccoon also took something from Ran Qing's body when it left.

This time, he clearly felt weak, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, and he almost fainted in his chair.

Ran Qing took several difficult breaths before she could sit up straight and look at the vengeful ghost who had returned to normal.

This time, the tanuki stared at the vengeful spirit for even longer before leaving. But in the end, it didn't jump onto the spirit's face and let it go—at that time, the spirit was dominated by a rotting head.

Ran Qing calmly said, "This raccoon will appear once every time I pass a level?"

"Does it use reason and thought to find its prey?"

If tanuki (raccoon dogs) distinguish prey by simply whether they are alive or dead, then there's no need for the demon on the main seat to hide.

Ran Qing immediately understood why the vengeful ghost hadn't resisted when he passed the test.

The Ghost Feast has nine stages to pass, but each stage will summon a raccoon dog.

According to this ghost, most people can only withstand the raccoon dog three times before being taken away.

Ran Qing felt that she was unlikely to have been taken away three times, but at most it couldn't have been more than five times.

On the main seat, the ghost stared at Ran Qing with a sinister gaze.

Ran Qing felt very uncomfortable with that mocking, condescending gaze.

"...A very smart kid, it's a pity he has no one to guide him, otherwise he would have a better future."

"They actually let a brat like you out... Mo Baifeng is already dead, isn't he?"

"Even the tough-as-nails Mo Baifeng, feared by all, is dead. If you die here tonight, the lineage of the Yin-Yang people will be extinguished, hahahaha..."

The ghostly figure sneered and mocked, with a hint of glee.

It seems to harbor great resentment towards the lineage of those who practice spirit mediumship.

The ghost finished speaking with a mocking laugh, before Ran Qing could say anything.

A strange bell sound suddenly came from outside the gate.

Immediately afterward, a disheveled old Taoist priest with bandages wrapped around his head and his face covered in blood grime limped in.

He chuckled and stared at the ghostly figure on the main seat, saying, "With the Taoist priest here tonight, the lineage of those who walk the underworld is doomed!"

The corpse-driving Taoist priest stared at the ghostly figure, his remaining eye flashing with a crazed hatred: "You're the one who's driven to your doom, you surnamed Tao!"

"You dare to pry open my eyes! If I don't torture you into a real vengeful ghost tonight, I'll change my name to Liu Fang!"
