Please control me, my divine being!

Chapter 98 The Corpse Demon Power of the Gu Family of Yinqi

Chen Yihu was puzzled as to why the other party had suddenly changed.

But that didn't stop him from doing exactly what he wanted and ruthlessly tricking this Daoist from the Gu family.

This guy has gone mad for some reason, turning from a human into a corpse and losing his memory. This is a golden opportunity.

He paused, enduring the sharp pain in his arm, and said, "The Gu family is searching for you. The Crying Bone Society suffered heavy losses in the battle of Yinqi Valley and will not attack anytime soon..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Qinghan twisted and tore off his other hand.

Upon hearing the commotion inside the mortuary, Jin Buhuan's eyelids twitched, and his fear intensified.

"If I hear another half a lie, my head will be next. Hands can be reattached using conventional methods, but I've never seen anyone reattach their head themselves."

Gu Qinghan's voice was devoid of any emotion.

Chen Yihu wailed and stammered, begging for mercy, but after stammering for a long time, he couldn't say anything.

When he saw the female corpse in front of him open her mouth, revealing sharp canine teeth, and walk towards him as if she were looking at food, he immediately became quick-witted. "The Gu family has been wiped out!" Chen Yihu shouted hurriedly.

Gu Qinghan's emotionless eyes finally showed a slight fluctuation, but it was only for a moment before being suppressed again.

She said in a deep voice, "Explain it clearly, tell me the whole story, from beginning to end."

Chen Yihu dared not refuse and immediately began to speak haltingly.

The sky was getting dark.

The setting sun ignites the evening glow on the horizon, turning everything fiery red.

The pile of firewood in the mortuary had burned to a pile of white ash. Next to this pile of white ash, Chen Yihu had been tortured into a bloody mess, unrecognizable as a human being.

At this moment, the immense power descended by the Celestial Venerable dissipated completely, and she regained control of her body, her mind unsettled.

She sorted through the information she had obtained from Chen Yihu.

The Gu family of Yinqi existed before the establishment of the Wu Dynasty and has a long history. Their generational responsibility is to guard the Yinqi Tomb left by the previous dynasty.

Passed down from generation to generation, the path remains complete.

However, in the last hundred years or so, the deity that the Gu family has always worshipped, the Lord of Coffin Mountain who is in charge of the path of the "Coffin Craftsman", has gradually lost his response.

No matter how much they worshipped, no miracles were revealed.

In addition, the family business had become bloated and corrupt over time, and eventually it gradually declined.

Faced with the rapidly growing and powerful Crying Bone Society, which had seized half of the floorboards in Yinqi Valley, the conflict between the two sides was naturally irreconcilable.

"How could I possibly be a traitor? How could the Gu family be destroyed by my hand? And how could the sacred object of the Crying Bone Society be related to me?" Gu Qinghan found it hard to believe, feeling that these words were just a fantasy.

Yet the other party spoke so truthfully.

Even when he was being tortured and had lost his mind, he never changed his story.

"But under the power of the god just now, he shouldn't be able to lie." Gu Qinghan recalled the last moment when the god controlled her body and awakened some dormant power.

After this force entered Chen Yihu's body...

His flesh and bones seemed to come alive, growing, tearing, and devouring on their own. Chen Yihu repeatedly sought death, but could only see his body torn to pieces, suffering endless torment.

His final death was extremely tragic; there wasn't a single intact part of his body.

Otherwise, Gu Qinghan wouldn't have needed to gather him together and turn him into a ball of flesh.

"What exactly happened to the Gu family? And what does that have to do with me?"

Gu Qinghan couldn't recall any memory of this, only that the Yinqi Gu family's guarded tomb had a problem, allowing the Crying Bone Society to take advantage of the situation, leading to a chaotic battle between the two sides.

When she awoke after the great battle, she was already a corpse worker digging in the evil mine.

Too many memories are missing, leaving her still shrouded in mystery.

"Now, besides suppressing hunger, the goal is also to regain my memories!"

Gu Qinghan thought to himself.

Once you regain your memories, everything will become clear.

Just as she was deep in thought, Jin Buhuan, who had been waiting outside the mortuary with his hands and feet red from the cold, ran in: "Manager Gu, it's completely dark now. We can prepare to cross the ridge!"

As he spoke, he glanced out of the corner of his eye at the mangled, unrecognizable mass of flesh and blood beside him, and silently lamented: Brother, you're just unlucky to have encountered this monster. May you be reborn into a better life next time.

Even when he slaughtered entire families in his early years, he never tortured people to this extent.

These cultivators are ruthless!

Once you've entered the Dao and become a cultivator, you should quickly stay away, otherwise you'll be killed by her sooner or later.

"What are you standing there for? Drag her over on a cart."

Gu Qinghan gave an order and then took the paper shroud and sewing thread with him.

She learned the purpose of these two common items from Chen Yihu.

Paper shrouds can conceal the wearer's aura and provide protection against attacks, but they will continuously drain the wearer's life force. If worn for too long, the wearer will become truly dead.

The suture thread can stitch flesh and blood together, and can be used for both offense and treatment. However, it needs to be kept warm with one's own blood, which means it needs to be sewn onto the body.

Although the two common items are not of high quality, they are extremely practical. More importantly, Gu Qinghan does not need to worry about the two common items causing harm.

After tidying everything up, she went out into the yard.

In the square courtyard, more than a dozen coffins were placed vertically.

Gu Qinghan first lit an incense stick in front of the gate to indicate that the abandoned mortuary was occupied.

Next, they selected three coffins in the corner of the courtyard, lit an incense stick in front of each coffin, and placed the corresponding amount of blood money under the incense sticks.

This is for the coffin bearers' travel expenses, and it tells them how many people are in the coffin and which coffins they are in.

The coffin bearers ran a business crossing the ridge.

However, their method of carrying people is rather unique; they must be transported in through a coffin.

The previous owner's notes also explained the reason: the area around the ridge was shrouded in miasma, making it difficult for living people to pass through, and only a specially made coffin could effectively isolate them.

In the underworld trade, this kind of transportation business is basically done by coffin bearers.

After lighting three incense sticks.

Gu Qinghan first placed the unconscious Xu Mofan into the coffin.

For a moment, she couldn't think of a way to deal with this commander. His identity was too troublesome, and she was a zombie, so it was not appropriate for her to seek medical treatment in Jiang'an City.

If you just dump her on the other side of the waterway, she'll definitely die.

The only way is to take her to the ridge and find a doctor who can cure people, and see if he can cure her.

After placing Xu Qianhu in the coffin, Gu Qinghan gave him a look, and Jin Buhuan quickly lay down in the other coffin with a rumble.

The three coffins were closed, and incense sticks burned.

As time went by, Gu Qinghan sensed someone entering the mortuary, knocking and hammering on the coffin lid, and then the coffin was slowly lifted up.

[Heading towards Guolinggang...]

Looking at the ink timer that popped up on the screen, Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief, still recalling the interrogation of Chen Yihu.

Once Zhou Qing's three basic abilities—Corpse Transformation, Corruption, and Fusion—are all upgraded to level three, the strange power that appears within his body can control inanimate objects, giving them a brief period of life.

Zhou Qing now names it the [Power of Corpse Evil].

This force can transform decay into something magical when it comes into contact with inanimate objects, but the changes it produces when it comes into contact with living things are completely unexpected.

He used several rabbits in succession for the experiment.

Once this power is injected into the rabbit's body, the entire rabbit will slowly split open.

A crack from the inside out.

It's as if every part of its body developed its own consciousness, tearing and devouring each other, eventually splitting into countless pieces.

A very sinister power.

It can give life to inanimate objects, but it is a deadly poison to truly living things.

If Zhou Qing can use this [Corpse Evil Power], then obviously Gu Qinghan, as the true owner of this power, can also use it.

During the interrogation of Chen Yihu, Zhou Qing tried repeatedly and successfully used this power through Gu Qinghan's body, with surprisingly good results.

When Chen Yihu was invaded by the "Corpse Evil Power", he did not die immediately.

He could only watch helplessly as his body tore apart, enduring the constant agony of being dismembered.

Under such bizarre torture, Chen Yihu could hardly maintain his sanity, let alone lie.

In the end, all he wanted was to die.

"The path of Corpse Demon is indeed somewhat evil. I wonder what kind of god controls this path?"

Zhou Qing secretly wondered to himself.

Due to its rarity, he has yet to find any information about the path of the Corpse Demon, and Lin Xiangqing is also unaware of it.

However, this blind girl found the confidence in Yin Qi Gu family.

On the desk.

Lin Xiangqing's delicate handwriting meticulously recorded information about the Yinqi Gu family and the Crying Bone Society.

This information should be kept secret from ordinary cultivators, but as a "talented person of the Book Society," she should have her own information circle, similar to a place like the Wan Shi Lou where storytellers gather.

Zhou Qing didn't ask what it was specifically; as long as it got done, that was fine.

He opened the book cover:

Yinqi Valley is located in the southeast. There is a large tomb there, which existed before the establishment of the Wu Dynasty. It is said to be the resting place of an ancient high-ranking cultivator.

Because of the large tomb, the Yinqi Valley is rich in Yin energy, and it is famous in the Nanxiang area for producing materials and items for nurturing households and various Yin paths.

The Yinqi Valley Tomb is jointly guarded by five ethnic groups.

Three of these clans have completely disappeared. Rumor has it that they tried to open the tomb, angering the high cultivators, who then brought down calamities, leading to the extinction of their clans.

The remaining two tribes.

The clan declined a century ago, and its descendants have disappeared without a trace.

The other clan was the Yinqi Gu family, which was wiped out half a year ago. The culprit was the emerging cultivation force in Nanxiang, the Crying Bone Society.

There are other rumors.

The Gu family was destroyed due to internal strife, and the Crying Bones Society only took advantage of the situation.

"The Gu family really did perish. In the Nanxiang area, right next to the South China Sea, there's a river called Xiang River. It seems to be a place where corpse drivers gathered." Zhou Qing tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, thinking about how to solve Gu Qinghan's problem.

The Gu family, the tomb of the former dynasty, and sacred objects from the Crying Bones Society.

There's also the Dragon King's transformation in the waterway, and the upcoming Dragon King Festival.

Various pieces of information flashed through my mind.

How to help Gu Qinghan regain her memories and solve the drawbacks of her zombie body? These are all things that need to be addressed. The most important thing is to figure out what she has lost!

Just as Zhou Qing was pondering this.

On the game interface, the page belonging to Li Qinghe had unexpectedly changed.

"We've arrived in Jiang'an so quickly?"

"No, we haven't reached Jiang'an City yet, but we've already arrived at a town on the outskirts of the city."

Zhou Qing was slightly surprised. Just two days ago, the progress bar still showed more than halfway through, but it suddenly finished.
