Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 301 If I can't beat the dead, I can still beat you, right?
Inside the room, the middle-aged woman's laughter was filled with smugness.

Long Zongshu cried out in terror, "What kind of monstrous insect is this?!"

His body and feet were now covered with strange green beetles.

Just a second ago everyone was perfectly normal, but the next second, their bodies were covered with these green beetles.

Ran Qing's expression changed slightly as she realized what it was.

"...Human Head Gu!"

In the novel "The Trial of Sister Er and the Demon Extermination", we encountered this kind of strange Gu worm.

It is said that after cutting off the head of a living person, while the head is still warm, insect eggs are implanted into the brain, and the insects inside are fed with the human brain.

The worms raised in this way are non-toxic and harmless, but they can confuse people's senses. Even if they wriggle right under a living person's nose, it is difficult for the living person to see what the worms look like.

If a magical artifact is touched by this kind of Gu worm, its power will be greatly reduced, or it may even become completely useless.

Although the magical artifact can be restored to normal as long as the worms are driven away.

However, to expel this kind of Gu worm, it must be soaked in rootless water and Tian Gui blood for more than two hours to be effective.

Leaving aside where to find rootless water and Tian Gui blood right now, given the current situation, two hours...

Ran Qing looked up and saw the middle-aged woman sitting in the chair with a cold smile, without saying a word.

But the corpse at her feet slowly stood up.

At this moment, Chen Laosan's corpse was dazed and wooden, with a cold expression and pale skin, as if he had been dead for some time.

It stared coldly at Ran Qing and the other two, its unfocused, empty eyes gleaming with a chilling light.

Like a zombie...

In the dark room where the middle-aged woman emerged, the radio from before once again played a jarring and eerie ghost story.

But this time, the ghost stories, and the voices in the radio ghost stories, seemed very close, so close that it was as if all the characters in the ghost stories were crammed into the room.

They made various sounds, some screaming in terror, some growling eerily, some shouting in anger... The sounds were only separated by a tattered curtain, making it impossible to tell how many people were crammed into the room.

Or perhaps... a ghost?

At this moment, the room became filled with eerie winds and ghostly wails, as if they had entered the ghost realm of the Wujiang River.

The middle-aged woman in the chair looked at Ran Qing in surprise and said, "Little Stone, you're amazing! You even know about the Human Head Gu... Didn't your father abandon you when you were little? How do you know so much about the Yin-Yang Dao?"

The middle-aged woman spoke of Ran Qing in a half-joking, half-praising manner.

Long Zongshu took a deep breath and exhaled flames towards the woman in the chair.

The fire inside the house suddenly burst into flames.

The scorching heat wave rushed towards Chen Laosan's zombie.

But the woman in the seat remained unmoved.

Because the flames that had been burning intensely suddenly went out the next second.

The human-headed Gu worms crawling all over the Dragon Sect Tree clearly also affected the Unknown Flame on his shoulder.

The three flames burning on his shoulders visibly dimmed and shrank, eventually becoming almost three small flames.

It seems as if it would be blown out by a strong wind.

Ran Qing threw off her canvas bag and put the Nuo opera mask she was wearing on the back of her head directly onto her face.

In an instant, the excited roars of the evil lords rang in my ears.

Ran Qing's body seemed to have gained a tremendous power.

He roared furiously and charged towards the middle-aged woman.

But after running only two steps, the immense force within her body vanished abruptly. Losing her balance, Ran Qing stumbled and fell to the ground.

The angry roars of the evil lords echoed in his ears as they howled to continue giving Ran Qing power.

Ran Qing could clearly feel a continuous flow of power entering her body, but her limbs could not exert this power.

The human-headed Gu worms crawling all over his body, though they dared not touch the eerie Nuo opera mask, could still cover Ran Qing's entire body and cut off the evil lords' supply to him.

Inside the room, the middle-aged woman's laughter was incredibly smug. She looked at her little nephew who was staggering and lying in front of her, then at Long Zongshu, whose expression was listless and whose flames on his shoulders had disappeared, and finally at Mo Li at the back, and said coldly, "Drag that little girl over here first. She's so fair-skinned and has such a vixen face."

The middle-aged woman made no attempt to hide her jealousy of the young and beautiful Mo Li.

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Laosan, the zombie beside her, slowly stepped forward.

At this moment, Mo Li stood alone in the house, with eerie sounds rising and falling from the dark room beside her. The sinister zombie of Chen Laosan was drifting towards her.

As an ordinary person, the only thing she held in her hand was the dead man's hammer made by her sixth aunt.

But this hammer, which was originally used to strike vengeful ghosts and inanimate objects, was now crawling with human-headed Gu worms and was almost useless.

Faced with Chen Laosan's zombie, Mo Li threw away the dead man's hammer and instead of retreating or running away, he walked towards the middle-aged woman on the chair.

The middle-aged woman who saw Mo Li approaching was somewhat surprised.

"Oh? Instead of running away, you're walking straight towards me?"

The middle-aged woman said with a sneer, "Want to come over and kowtow and beg for mercy?"

Ran Qing felt anxious as she watched Mo Li walk away.

But at that moment, he was powerless to stop it.

Taking advantage of the middle-aged woman's distraction, he suddenly bit his finger and quickly wrote a strange, blood-red character on the floor.

The ritual implements cannot be used, and the Nuo opera masks are temporarily blocked, but he still has other methods!

The human head curse is not invincible; Aunt Shen Er has written a method to break it!
Just as Ran Qing was enduring the pain to write the first character on the floor, Mo Li, wearing a fitted short-sleeved shirt and skinny jeans, had already walked up to the middle-aged woman.

Faced with the sinister Chen Laosan zombie and the arrogant and eerie old woman before him.

Mo Li's lips curled up, finally revealing a slight smile.

She didn't say a word, but that cold, smug smile inexplicably sent chills down one's spine.

The middle-aged woman, who had been sitting leisurely in her chair, suddenly sensed danger.

She spoke up immediately.

"Bite her to death!"

Upon receiving the order, the zombie roared and charged towards Mo Li.

At this moment, Chen Laosan's zombie was like a mad dog released from its cage.

Even ordinary zombies are three to five times stronger than ordinary humans!
But when faced with the charging zombie, Mo Li twisted his body and dodged it at an extremely strange and agile angle.

It looked as if the zombies were deliberately avoiding her.

Mo Li, having bypassed the zombies, arrived directly in front of the middle-aged woman.

There were no more obstacles between them.

The middle-aged woman's eyes widened suddenly, but it was too late to dodge.

In her retinal pupil, the girl's slender hands were reflected as clenched into fists.

The next second, the girl shouted in a sweet voice, and an earthquake-like roar came from inside the house.

Ran Qing stared in disbelief, Long Zongshu was stunned, and even Xiao Mianhua screamed... The three of them watched as the middle-aged woman on the chair, along with her chair, was blasted away by the petite Mo Li's fists!
The middle-aged woman slammed heavily against the wall behind her, chair and all. Her chest caved in, her eyes rolled back, and she coughed up blood. She slumped limply in the chair.

Having accomplished all this, Mo Li smugly blew non-existent dust off his fist and raised an eyebrow at Ran Qing, who was lying on the ground.

"...Didn't I tell you? You don't need to worry about anything. Just leave it to me when you see the person in charge."

"If I can't fight ghosts and zombies, can't I at least fight living people?"

Mo Li was filled with a sense of smugness.

Looking at her smile and the aunt slumped in the chair.

Ran Qing's gaze froze for a moment.

At this moment, he finally understood why Mo Li could travel all over the country alone and remain safe and sound.

She has incredible strength despite her small size!
