Under One Person: Dressed as Lü Liang, with vests all over

Chapter 158 Yan Yan, there's something in your belly!
These are not living people!

Lü Liang dodged the oncoming attack by sidestepping.

He saw that the "person" who attacked him had a distorted face, bluish-black skin, and the flesh on his face had begun to peel off, vaguely revealing white bones, and emitting a nauseating odor.

Its fingers, like hooks, carried a foul, powerful wind as it clumsily twisted its body, heading once more towards Lü Liang's face.

The moment they approached, Lü Liang's pupils changed color, and his entire aura shifted.

Possessed spirit!

After Zhao Guizhen's spirit possessed him, Lü Liang's power increased significantly.

He raised his hand and punched the corpse in the chest, sending it flying backward.

"boom!"

Almost every time Lü Liang made a move, it was accompanied by the crisp sound of bones breaking, but the fallen corpses would quickly and slowly get up again, and the stench of decay in the air would become increasingly strong.

After kicking another corpse away, a guess popped into Lü Liang's mind—corpse driving in western Hunan!
These corpses were manipulated.

In other words, there are descendants of the Xiangxi corpse-driving family in this area.

Lu Liang's mind raced.

He remembered that the Grand Gu Master had mentioned that the Xiangxi Corpse-Driving Clan, like the Qinghe Miao Clan, had Chi You as their ancestor.

Legend has it that after Chi You was defeated, he could not bear to bury his men in foreign lands, so he ordered his strategist to use magic to make the corpses of the fallen soldiers stand up on their own and follow the talisman to return to their hometowns. This is the earliest form of "corpse-driving technique".

Lu Liang's gaze swept over the terrifying faces of the zombies as he pondered:
The Miao people of Qinghe possess the extraordinary sacred object, the Qinghe Gu Gu, which has been passed down from that time to the present day. Could the Xiangxi corpse-driving families also have similar sacred objects preserved?

Lü Liang narrowed his eyes slightly. Since there was a question, he might as well ask someone.

He kicked away the zombies that pounced on him while observing their movements.

Although the zombies were positioned haphazardly and their attacks seemed random.

However, upon closer inspection, it can be seen that they are subtly protecting the western side, driving Lü Liang and his companions away into the distance.

That corpse-driver is very likely over there!
The next moment, Lü Liang leaped in that direction without hesitation.

Sure enough, as soon as he moved, the corpses that were fighting with Chen Duo and Luo Tiantian rushed towards him, clearly trying to stop him.

The spirit within Lü Liang's body suddenly changed, and its speed increased accordingly, quickly leaving the corpses behind.

……

"Got you!"

After rounding a thicket of bushes, behind a huge rock, Lü Liang finally saw the face of the person behind the scenes.

His expression froze for a moment, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

Because the person standing in front of him was actually an acquaintance—Liu Yanyan.

At this moment, Liu Yanyan was clearly not in a good state. She was holding her stomach with her right hand, leaning against a rock, her orange low ponytail was loose and she looked a bit disheveled.

Moreover, her face was extremely pale, beads of sweat kept appearing on her forehead, and there was obvious blood at the corner of her mouth.

Strangely, there were no visible wounds on her body.

When Liu Yanyan saw someone coming, she struggled to make a move.

Just then, Luo Tiantian's voice rang out from behind, full of surprise:

"Yan Yan? What are you doing here?"

Liu Yanyan was tense all over, about to force the zombies to attack again, but she was stunned when she saw Luo Tiantian.

"Luo Tiantian? You... cough cough..."

She covered her mouth, but blood still seeped through her fingers.

Luo Tiantian nervously stepped forward and squatted down next to Liu Yanyan, raising her hand to check Liu Yanyan's injuries.

"Yan Yan, are you hurt? What happened?"

Liu Yanyan shook her head and said urgently, "Don't worry about me for now."

"Luo Tiantian, can you do me a favor?"

She raised her hand and pointed to the path on the right: "Go chase after a man in a black hoodie! He stole my things!"

"what?"

Luo Tiantian was a little stunned when she heard Liu Yanyan's request.

Liu Yanyan's expression immediately became even more anxious. She said excitedly, "That thing is very important, we must get it back!"

"His body reeks of decay; your spider will definitely be able to track him."

Her eyes were fixed on Luo Tiantian. "Please!"

Luo Tiantian withdrew her hand somewhat helplessly, her gaze falling on the bloodstains at the corner of Liu Yanyan's mouth.

"Ke Yan Yan, you look badly injured. How about I treat your wounds first before we go?"

"Then it'll be too late!" Liu Yanyan coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood in her anxiety. "Luo Tiantian, hurry!"

“Okay, I’ll go right away.” Luo Tiantian stood up.

She took two steps, then turned back to look at Lü Liang: "Brother Zhou, why don't you treat Yan Yan? Your medical skills are better than mine."

Lü Liang nodded, then said to Chen Duo, "That person is quite strong. You two go together and try to capture him alive."

Chen Duo nodded seriously, and then chased after them together with Luo Tiantian.

……

Soon, only Lü Liang and Liu Yanyan remained at the foot of the mountain.

Liu Yanyan's expression immediately became wary.

Her gaze fell on Lü Liang's unfamiliar face after his disguise, and she asked with a hint of doubt, "Are you Luo Tiantian's friend?" "Sort of," Lü Liang replied casually.

He squatted down next to Liu Yanyan, his gaze quickly sweeping over her body.

From the information he had just received, Lü Liang had already guessed the general situation.

Liu Yanyan is a descendant of the Liu family of Xiangxi, so it is not surprising that she appeared in this area.

However, she somehow got into a fight with someone nearby and had an important item stolen from her.

Then, I happened to be passing by, and my car almost got stuck in the pit created by the corpse emerging from the ground.

Later, Liu Yanyan mistook him for an accomplice of the man who stole the items and attacked him with the corpse.

In other words, this was purely a coincidence.

However, for Lü Liang, this was an opportunity.

He could either glean some information about Na Du Tong from Liu Yan Yan, or investigate the affairs of the Xiangxi Corpse-Driving Family to verify his previous guesses.

As Lü Liang pondered, he extended his right hand and placed two fingers on Liu Yanyan's wrist.

Liu Yanyan instinctively pulled her hand back, but Lü Liang caught it.

Lu Liang's gaze swept over her pale face, and he said bluntly:
"If you don't get treatment soon, I'm afraid you won't live to see Luo Tiantian come back."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yanyan's face turned even paler, and her arms relaxed.

Qi flowed from Lü Liang's fingertips as he used the Jishetang technique to sense the condition inside Liu Yanyan's body.

His brows furrowed quickly.

He discovered that although Liu Yanyan's body surface had no wounds, her internal organs, especially her abdomen, were severely injured.

Her internal organs and viscera were all damaged to varying degrees, which explains why blood kept trickling from the corners of her mouth.

Lu Liang continued to sense the condition of Liu Yanyan's abdomen, his pupils contracting slightly.

Then, he looked up at Liu Yanyan and asked, "Does your stomach hurt?"

"It hurts a lot." Liu Yanyan nodded, clutching her stomach, and said, gasping for breath, "It feels like there are nails stabbing me inside."

Upon hearing this, Lü Liang glanced at Liu Yanyan with a complicated expression.

Liu Yanyan looked back at her in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Hmm... your intuition is very accurate." Lü Liang nodded seriously. "You do indeed have a nail in your stomach."

"what?"

Liu Yanyan was stunned, and her voice rose slightly.

Lu Liang continued, "The reason your stomach hurts is because your stomach is full of iron nails. Every time you move, the injuries inside your body will worsen."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yanyan froze, her hands and feet completely still. She dared not move, only blinking as she looked at Lü Liang.

"What should we do then?" she asked, her neck stiff and her eyes pleading.

Instead of answering the question immediately, Lü Liang asked in return, "You just said someone stole your things. Who was it?"

Liu Yanyan showed an angry expression.

"I don't know him, but he must be from Shangqing Maoshan!"

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

“He used talismans, which are clearly the methods of the Maoshan sect.”

"Hmph, if it weren't for the fact that his talismans happened to be effective against my zombies, I wouldn't have let him steal my talisman!"

Upon hearing this, Lü Liang shook his head.

“That person was indeed from Maoshan, but not from Shangqing Maoshan, but from Ye Maoshan.”

"Wild Mao Mountain?" Liu Yanyan's eyes widened slightly in confusion.

Lü Liang nodded, "Yes, it's Ye Maoshan. What you were hit by was Ye Maoshan's specialty, the Transformation Nail."

"After marking the target, Wild Maoshan only needs to scatter the Transformation Nails, and the Transformation Nails will appear directly in the body of the marked person."

Seeing that Liu Yanyan still had a furrowed brow and a puzzled expression, Lü Liang patiently continued to explain:

“These wild Maoshan mountains are not really related to Maoshan in essence.”

“True Maoshan Taoists are not enthusiastic about those various kinds of magic tricks. They spend more of their time studying those dry classics and cultivating their character and temperament according to the teachings of their predecessors.”

"In the eyes of others, the talismans of Maoshan Shangqing are famous throughout the world, but in their own hearts, alchemy and rituals are their true strengths."

"You could even say they are an extremely low-key, self-disciplined, and somewhat rigid sect."

"Given their style, Maoshan shouldn't have been famous in the world. In fact, it was not the successors of Maoshan Shangqing who truly made Maoshan known throughout the world."

"Because of the strict precepts of the Shangqing sect of Maoshan, its disciples are rarely seen in the world, but those who are still alive have left behind an excellent reputation."

"It is unclear when it started, but some unaffiliated individuals with unique skills began to travel the world under the guise of Maoshan disciples."

“These people are numerous and of mixed quality, with their stances being both righteous and evil... They are not an organization, yet they all happen to be associated with the Maoshan sect.”

"The Shangqing School and others referred to these hermits as Yemaoshan."

After explaining, Lü Liang looked at Liu Yanyan's abdomen.

"Now, there are two ways to save you. The first is to wait for Luo Tiantian and the others to bring back that expert from Yemaoshan and force him to remove those nails for you using a secret technique."

"However, if Luo Tiantian doesn't bring the person back, or if she comes back too late, you might be dead."

"What about the second method?" Liu Yanyan asked eagerly.
