The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 212 The Actions of the Three Parties

"The morgue?"

"Yes, I don't have the fresh corpse oil you want. Where else can you find so much fresh corpse oil besides the morgue?"

"you……"

“I will find a way, but the price in the future will be different from the price now.”

“I understand. As long as you can give me fresh corpse oil, I will give you anything.”

The man in the raincoat adjusted his hood, looked at the pockmarked man's pale face, and warned, "I've been in this business for over ten years and have seen many people get burned while playing with fire. You need to be careful."

The pockmarked man let out a few unpleasant laughs: "I've wanted to die with him for a long time. Playing with fire will only lead to getting burned... What do I have to worry about playing with fire and getting burned?"

The man in the raincoat said, "You'd better pray to the gods and Buddhas, and don't run into me to break the curse. I only care about money, not people. Whether it's you who cast the curse or not, if you're unlucky, you'll be the one who suffers."

The pockmarked man tightened the bandage around his neck: "I also want to tell you something. A very powerful figure has arrived over there. If you don't get me the corpse oil now, neither you nor I will be able to avenge ourselves."

The man in the raincoat maintained his composure: "Don't try to scare me with this. I only care about money now."

The pockmarked man sneered, "No matter the reason, now that they've discovered me, they must be on guard. They might have already gone to find someone to break the curse. By the time they succeed, it will be too late for you to give me the corpse oil."

The man in the raincoat didn't say anything more.

The pockmarked man continued, "The child's curse has been lifted. Once the woman's curse is lifted, I will be severely injured."

The man in the raincoat hugged his raincoat tightly, turned around, and stepped into the heavy rain: "Come with me!"

……

As the rain gradually subsided, Li Zhen, walking through the cemetery, wiped the rain from his face and looked around.

The cemetery here is very large and filled with yin energy, making it a suitable place for him to absorb yin energy and stimulate his body to accelerate his rebirth.

Li Zhen could sense that the yang energy in his body was gradually gathering. This yang energy could promote the regeneration of his flesh and blood. However, after leaving the environment where he buried himself, the gathering speed of the yang energy was very slow, so the regeneration speed of his flesh and blood was also slow.

Of the nine rebirths, three rebirths serve as a boundary, and obstacles will only be encountered on the third rebirth. The first one or two rebirths will hardly present any major problems.

Li Zhen wasn't worried about any problems with his regeneration; he was only concerned that his recovery speed was too slow, which would hinder his actions.

After sensing that his primordial spirit had become more stable, Li Zhen couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of the method of resurrection from the brink of death.

According to the records of this method, after the first three resurrections, his yang energy would be able to reach the limit of an ordinary person.

Once the three resurrections are completed, the strength of one's yang energy will naturally far exceed that of ordinary people, reaching a level that ordinary people can never achieve.

At that time, the yang energy may clash with evil spirits...

However, Li Zhen doesn't need to worry about this problem now.

Following the path, they arrived at a slightly larger tomb. Li Zhen looked at the tomb with a hint of surprise.

The grave in front of us is somewhat special, with a small pavilion built on top of it, clearly because the person inside the grave was someone of special status.

This place is suitable as a temporary stopover.

Soaked to the bone, Li Zhen walked up the steps into the pavilion.

He looked around and then sat down cross-legged in the pavilion.

Looking at his own wounds, now pale and white from being soaked by the rain, Li Zhen took a deep breath and, sensing the changes in his body, urged the vampire and the banshee to enter the pavilion.

Taking various tools from behind the banshee, Li Zhen began to set up a magic array.

Although the yin energy in this place is abundant, it still needs the assistance of a magic array to gather yin energy and make it even more abundant.

After a period of slumber, many of the "Destiny Demon's" belongings had become Li Zhen's.

Although he wasn't consciously searching for them, driven by memories that had almost become instinctive, he was far more skilled at setting up formations than before.

Even with the magic array set up, the environment here still can't compare to that of Wang Family Village...

If his body cannot be reborn here, he can undergo a final transformation near the burial ground after completing the mission and returning to his original world...

Li Zhen wasn't worried about whether he could complete the mission.

With his talisman protecting them, Lin Jiabi and her son should be fine.

Even if he wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible, he couldn't find the culprit who had cast the curse on Lin Jiabi and her son.

All he has to do now is wait, wait for the murderer to appear on his own, or wait for Zhang Lemin to find the murderer.

Li Zhen knew that his appearance had changed things, but this change would definitely escalate the situation rather than soothe it.

The murderer will definitely appear soon...

Guided by He Chen, Zhang Lemin drove to the countryside outside the city.

The road became increasingly remote, and towards the end there were no streetlights at all.

Half an hour later, the car stopped by a pond.

Looking at a small wooden house by the pond, He Chen said, "Master Qinghai is here. Let's go."

He pushed open the car door, pulled his coat up to cover his head, and ran towards the small house with the lights on.

After holding an umbrella over Lin Jiabi and her son, Zhang Lemin led them towards the house.

In the pitch-black rainy night, Master Qinghai, with a stubble beard, of medium build, neither fat nor thin, and looking like an ordinary middle-aged man, was chopping wood under the awning next to the house.

The awning and the adjacent house were lit with dim, warm lights, which looked cozy and comfortable against the backdrop of the rainy night.

He Chen ran under the awning and clasped his hands together, bowing to Master Qinghai.

Master Qinghai straightened up and nodded to He Chen: "No need to be polite, come with me."

He threw down the axe and led He Chen and the others into his house.

The room wasn't spacious; besides the simple furniture, the most eye-catching thing was a low tea table placed by the window.

After sitting down at the coffee table, Master Qinghai gestured for He Chen and the others to pull up chairs and sit down themselves.

After pouring everyone a cup of hot tea, he casually said, "The weather is getting colder soon, so I've been chopping wood these past few days to prepare for the future."

He picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and continued, "After I answered Ah Chen's call, I went back to chop wood and found that there was a piece of wood that was very difficult to chop. No matter how I tried, I couldn't split it. I've encountered this kind of wood occasionally before."

Zhang Lemin put down his teacup and replied, "Even if you can't split it, you can still cook it."

Master Qinghai shook his head: "It's hard to burn if it can't be split. I plan to release that piece of firewood after dawn."

Zhang Lemin glanced at his master and asked in confusion, "How can you release an inanimate object?" Master Qinghai smiled and said, "All things have a spirit, and all things have a cause and effect. There must be a reason why it cannot be cut or burned."

After putting down his cup, he glanced at Lin Jiabi, then changed the subject, saying to her, "I already know why you've come. This matter is indeed a bit strange. To find out the whole story, we first need to determine whether you and your child have been cursed."

"Generally speaking, people who are under a curse will have bloodshot eyes and a black line appearing in their eyes. You can tell if you are under a curse just by looking at your eyes."

He Chen and Zhang Lemin subconsciously looked into Lin Jiabi's eyes.

Lin Jiabi, who had been silent all along, picked up the child in her arms and carefully lifted the child's eyelids.

Seeing that there were no bloodshot eyes or black lines in the child's eyes, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The child struggled for a moment and let out a small cry.

Lin Jiabi quickly hugged the child and comforted him.

Seeing that the child was alright, Zhang Lemin breathed a sigh of relief: "Master, does the fact that the child wasn't cursed mean that the child is alright?"

Master Qinghai shook his head: "This only means that your child is not under a curse. Other issues are uncertain. There are so many evil spells in this world, and I have never seen some of the most bizarre and terrifying ones."

He reached out and placed his hand on the top of the child's head opposite him.

After feeling it for a while, his expression became somewhat solemn. His palm then moved downwards and touched the wound between the child's eyebrows. Immediately, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying, he abruptly pulled his hand back.

This action startled Lin Jiabi and Zhang Lemin, who had just breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Lemin hurriedly asked, "Master, my child..."

Master Qinghai waved his hand, interrupting Zhang Lemin, and looked at the child in silence.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze and said, "Your children are fine; there is no trace of black magic or other evil spells on them."

Zhang Lemin, who had been holding his breath, took a long breath and was about to speak when he heard Master Qinghai say, "According to what you said, someone has lifted the curse on your child. I think this is credible. I sensed a trace of residual evil energy on your child."

As he spoke, Qinghai's expression became very serious: "That person... is very terrifying, and also very evil... that aura doesn't seem like that of a righteous person."

Zhang Lemin glanced at Lin Jiabi and then recounted to Master Qinghai what he had heard from Lin Jiabi about Li Zhen's terrible injuries.

He had already briefly mentioned this matter once during a phone call with Master Qinghai.

But it wasn't explained in as much detail back then as it is now.

After carefully listening to Zhang Lemin's words, Master Qinghai said, "If I'm not mistaken, that person should be practicing some kind of magic, perhaps... a kind of evil magic. It seems that the person is a heretical figure."

“But what he said should be true, or rather, I tend to believe it is true, that is to say, he did indeed lift the curse on your child.”

“You must understand that someone as terrifying as him would not lie to you if he wanted to do something.”

He Chen asked, "Master, is he also a sorcerer?"

Master Qinghai shook his head: "I can't be sure, it might be, it might not be."

"Right now, the person you should be most worried about is not your children, but your wife."

Master Qinghai then looked at Lin Jiabi.

Zhang Lemin and He Chen also looked at Lin Jiabi.

They naturally knew why Master Qinghai said that.

Lin Jiabi's eyes were indeed bloodshot, frighteningly red.

As the person involved, Lin Jiabi couldn't see her own eyes, but when all three of them were staring at her, she understood what they meant, so she opened her eyelids on her own.

Master Qinghai and the other two then saw Lin Jiabi's bloodshot eyes and a strange black line above them.

The black line startled Zhang Lemin again, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Master Qinghai.

“As expected, he has been cursed,” Master Qinghai analyzed. “Generally speaking, people who use curses do so either for money or for love.”

"If it gets to the point of being life-threatening, unless it's for a large inheritance, and you're just an ordinary policeman, then it must be for love."

These words made Zhang Lemin's heart skip a beat.

Lin Jiabi looked somewhat embarrassed as she looked at Zhang Lemin.

After a pause, Master Qinghai continued, "Although the curse was cast on your wife and children, it is clear that it was aimed at you."

"If that mysterious person hadn't suddenly appeared, then your child..."

Lin Jiabi and the other two naturally knew what Master Qinghai was going to say.

Lin Jiabi hugged her child tightly.

Zhang Lemin asked, "Master, can the curse on my wife be broken?"

Master Qinghai nodded and said, "It can be broken, and we must do it as soon as possible. This kind of curse is very strange. It can be broken while the sorcerer is still alive. Once the sorcerer is dead, it will be difficult to break."

“What I’m worried about is that you told me that the man said before he left that your wife would be safe for the time being. Does that mean he left something hidden on your wife?”

"I can try to lift the curse, but if someone interferes at a crucial moment, unexpected changes may occur."

"Even if it's not a damaging attack, but a defensive one, it could still interfere with my spellcasting."

He Chen interjected, "Master, is that person very scary?"

Qinghai nodded silently.

Lin Jiabi knew that she could no longer hide the matter, so she hesitated before taking out the talisman left by Li Zhen and said to Master Qinghai, "He left this before he left, saying that if something happened to me, this talisman would change and he would sense it."

Master Qinghai raised his head, examined the talisman for a long time, and then slowly reached out and touched it. As if touching a child's brow wound, he felt an electric shock and immediately withdrew his hand.

Wiping away his sweat, Master Qinghai remarked, "Such an evil aura..."

He looked down at his fingertips that had touched the talisman and found that they had turned very pale, as if they had been corroded by something.

Zhang Lemin asked, "Master, can I carry this talisman with me at all times?"

Master Qinghai pondered and said, "Although this talisman is evil, it is not offensive. It should be a protective talisman. Whether you bring it or not is up to you."

“However, I can assure you that the person who left the talisman is not the same person who cast the curse on your wife. If you are willing to take the risk, I am willing to set up an altar immediately and try to break the curse on your wife.”

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Jiabi reluctantly handed the child to Zhang Lemin and stuffed the talisman back into her pocket.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Master."
