Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 268 A Few Bites of Rotten Meat
The arrogant corpse-driving Taoist priest, who had rushed in claiming revenge, was so frightened by the mention of a flying zombie that he wanted to run away immediately.

He didn't even want to care about the vengeful ghost that had gouged out one of his eyes.

While urging Ran Qing on, the Corpse-Driving Taoist pulled out glutinous rice from his pocket and quickly ran to hand it to Ran Qing and the others.

"This is glutinous rice steamed with blood spirit mushroom. Put some in your mouth and chew it. As long as you have this glutinous rice in your mouth, those demons outside won't be able to see you."

The corpse-driving Taoist opened his mouth as he spoke.

Only then did everyone realize that there were indeed many crumbs of chewed glutinous rice in his mouth full of yellow teeth.

Ran Qing remained silent for a few seconds before looking at the ghost on the main seat.

We finally managed to lure this ghost out, and now we're giving up... I'm a little unwilling to give up!
Moreover, once the ghost feast is over, the ghost is released.

Then the danger in the yard will be unpredictable, like a sudden death or a flying corpse.

At that time, Ran Qing and the others will have to face the evil spirits of this place, the wandering flying zombies, and this evil ghost lurking in the shadows, ready to harm people.

The situation is indeed very dangerous, but the more dangerous it is, the more calm we should remain.

Once influenced by the panic of the corpse-driving Taoist priest, one is prone to doing foolish things.

Ran Qing stared at the corpse-driving Taoist priest and asked, "Master Liu, if we release this ghost, will we be able to leave unscathed?"

This is the haunted house of evil spirits; it's easy to get in but hard to get out.

Ran Qing didn't believe that the ghost would let them leave so easily.

The corpse-driving Taoist priest urged anxiously, "Then what do you suggest we do? Stay and fight the flying zombie head-on?"

"You three kids, do you know how sinister flying zombies are?"

"Ten years ago, there was a flying zombie in Honghe Village. Your master, Mo Baifeng, was also there at the time. A group of Xuan cultivators and unorthodox practitioners joined forces, but one of them was killed by that flying zombie."

"Your mediocre skills are no match for your master, Mo Baifeng?"

The corpse-driving Taoist also knew about what happened in Honghe Village ten years ago.

The circle of esoteric and unorthodox practices is indeed very small.

Ran Qing stared at the evil spirit on the main seat and said, "I am indeed not as good as my master, but we finally managed to lure this ghost out. If we let it go, it will be even more difficult to catch it next time."

Especially since this ghost still possesses rational consciousness, once it understands the dangers of the spirit medium, it might not be here when Ran Qing comes to find it again tomorrow night.

The vengeful spirits are vicious and mindless; they can only linger and wander in specific areas, but that doesn't mean they can't leave.

Other vengeful ghosts rarely move, but this evil ghost can simply run away.

If we let it go tonight, we'll never have another chance to catch it.

Moreover, this ghost saw the faces of Ran Qing and Long Zongshu. What if it returned to Moonlit City, found the mastermind, and told them about the situation of Ran Qing and the other two?

When the mastermind investigates, they'll find that Ran Qing has raided all the ghost-raising dens...

Tonight is our only chance to catch this vengeful ghost. We absolutely cannot let it go, or the consequences will be unimaginable!

Ran Qing was not affected by the corpse-driving Taoist's anxiety and panic, but quickly made a calm and rational judgment.

As for that flying zombie... the flying zombie is indeed terrifying, but Ran Qing can simply summon the memorial tablets of the past masters of the Yin-Yang Cult.

The story of the second aunt shows that the ancestral tablet can suppress flying zombies.

After Ran Qing finished speaking, the corpse-driving Taoist's eyes widened.

He stared at Ran Qing with a look of utter disbelief, as if he'd seen a ghost: "Are you crazy?! Instead of running away, you want to stay and catch ghosts... Besides the flying zombies, have you forgotten there's a raccoon dog in this house?"

The corpse-driving Taoist priest cursed, "I don't care anymore, if you won't run, I will!"

After cursing, the corpse-driving Taoist chewed on glutinous rice and ran towards the door.

He bypassed the group of evil spirits at the entrance and disappeared somewhere.

It looks like they've gone to escape for their lives.

Watching the corpse-driving Taoist priest leave, Mo Li looked at Ran Qing with some worry, but she didn't say anything. She knew Ran Qing must have thought of a solution.

At this moment, Ran Qing did indeed have an idea.

He watched the corpse-driving Taoist priest leave, and shook the corpse-driving bell.

With a crisp ringing sound, the two paper figures behind Ran Qing carried Ran Qing's canvas bag and left.

Since the raccoon was attracted by the scent of the spirit medium, it wouldn't be difficult to lure it away.

Ran Qing rang a bell, controlling the two paper figures to leave. She then set up a temporary altar in the back courtyard, scattering incense ash and small red rope figures filled with the scent of spirits.

Even Ran Qing's own artifact for walking the underworld, the Nuo opera mask, was worn on one of the paper figures.

After the decorations next door were finished and a paper figure carrying a reply came from the backyard, Ran Qing finally took a breath.

He reached out and struck the small drum in front of him, the dull thud echoing through the room.

The assailant, Phantom Bear Dacheng, wielding a large knife, grinned again and walked outside.

Soon, the dull, thumping sound of chopping meat could be heard again outside the door.

This time, what Xiong Dacheng brought back was a leg.

The bloody leg was thrown directly onto the table, and the stench of blood made the vengeful ghost on the main seat turn pale and contort in pain.

The power of the ghostly feast constantly evokes the pain and fear of this evil spirit's tragic death, amplifying this horror.

The demon's body was already trembling slightly.

Finally, as the phantom of the perpetrator laughed, he chopped up the leg and fed it to the dogs, ending the third level.

This time, the demon still did not resist.

However, the eerie, rotting raccoon did not appear after the third level ended.

Instead, a mournful meow came from the neighboring yard.

There were also sounds of footsteps vibrating and something jumping on the ground—those were paper figures in straw raincoats wearing Nuo opera masks dancing.

Although it is just a paper figure, the straw raincoat paper figure specially made by the spirit medium may also serve as the body for the evil lords to descend.

The paper figure in the straw raincoat wearing a mask is clearly possessed by evil spirits and is chasing after the rotting raccoon.

The smell of the spirit medium next door is much stronger than here.

Ran Qing's plan to lure the raccoon away was a success.

He calmly tapped the small drum and began the fourth challenge.

dong dong dong-

The dull drumbeats echoed, and the Phantom Assassin, who had just sat down after drinking a glass of water, stood up again, laughing loudly, and walked towards the door, carrying his large knife.

The dull, thumping sound of chopping meat could be heard.

At this moment, what was dragged in by Xiong Dacheng's phantom and slammed onto the table was not an arm or a leg.

Instead, it was a bloody mass of soft flesh that Ran Qing and Long Zongshu found incredibly familiar.

The rotten flesh covered in black hair slammed bloodily onto the table. Ran Qing and Long Zongshu were both stunned, instinctively clenching their legs together, feeling a chilling, phantom pain.

Xiong Dacheng grinned maliciously, "This rotten thing is too smelly. My dog ​​definitely won't like it. I'll chop it up and feed it to the chickens later!"

On the main seat, the demon's body trembled, its face filled with resentment, pain, and fear.

Staring intently at Ran Qing, this evil spirit, possessing the rationality of a living person, now had a ferocious expression and looked ready to devour anyone.

The fourth level begins, but the tanuki no longer appears; this evil spirit will clearly no longer remain indifferent.

The real danger of the ghost banquet is about to unfold!
