Chapter 42: The Corpse Wraith Returns

  To be honest, Qin Feng was also a little scared when he saw such a scene. Although he couldn't see the snake spirit clearly, hearing its hissing sound was enough to make Qin Feng's hair stand on end, and his whole body felt like it had fallen apart in an instant.

  The snake wriggled its body and swayed around, scaring the chickens to cluck and scatter in all directions. Qin Feng carefully approached, quickly sticking the soul-locking talisman drawn by Qin Ye onto the snake's body. After a while, the snake slowly collapsed to the ground, seemingly fainting.

  "Grandpa, what's wrong with it?" Qin Feng stood beside the snake, looking at the snake that had already fallen to the ground and was motionless, couldn't help but feel curious.

  Qin Ye looked at the talisman he had drawn and saw that it was taking effect, let out a deep breath, relaxed a bit, and said: "With the Soul Locking Talisman plus the chicken blood, this snake's primordial spirit has already been suppressed by the yang energy. So we should take advantage of the situation now and destroy its primordial spirit to eliminate any future troubles!"

  The python's yuan Shen is actually the python's gall, it's just that calling it yuan Shen has a bit of a mythological tone to it, so let's just call it python's gall. Once the python's gall breaks, the essence of the sun and moon and the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers absorbed by the python will be "broken and scattered", causing it to lose its Tao and no longer become a spirit.

  Time was pressing, Qin Ye immediately grasped the bronze sword and walked to the front of the snake spirit, looked at it for a moment, and still sighed with a tone of not being free: "Good guy, this snake really has some skills."

  "Xiao Feng, give me the Kuigang Sword. I want to use our ancestor's treasured sword to subdue it, that way we can calm it down."

  Just as Qin Ye was about to use the Guandao sword, he suddenly heard a child's crying voice coming from not far away in the west of the village. The "wa wa wa" sound grew louder and more urgent, mixed with fear.

  "What's going on?" Qin Feng subconsciously felt that something was off and immediately turned his gaze to Grandfather Qin, "Grandfather, what's...".

  At first, Qin Ye didn't pay attention, thinking it was just the usual crying of a baby, but after careful consideration, in the middle of the night, such a heart-wrenching cry suddenly came out, definitely something fishy.

  When the sword was about to cut open the snake's belly, he suddenly realized and exclaimed: "It's a resurrected corpse! No good, hurry up and go back to where the baby was crying just now!"

  This sudden scene left Qin Feng and Fang Yu somewhat unprepared, both of them were stunned in their hearts, and they all asked: "What's going on?" "Grandfather Qin, is something wrong?"

  "I'll explain later, let's hurry to where the baby was crying earlier, the snake spirit has possessed the baby!" Qin's voice trembled with unprecedented fear as he rushed out of the chicken coop, following the sound.

  Qin Feng and Fang Yuxi, who had not yet figured out the cause of the matter, felt a sense of unease. Qin Feng looked at the snake's abdomen and was shocked to discover that the snake gall was gone. "How is this..."

  Qin Feng hurriedly caught up with his grandfather and asked along the way: "Grandfather, where is the snake gall?"

  Qin Ye spat out a mouthful of saliva with great force and said, "It's a corpse demon! This snake spirit has actually learned to revive the dead. It must be that the shade of death has increased its yin energy!"

  "What's a Gui? What is that?" Qin Feng furrowed his brow, having never heard Grandfather mention anything about a Gui before.

  "Hui Shi Gui is the most sinister move of the animal's cultivation to seize the body, using this move means that the snake spirit wants to plant its own primordial spirit in the infant's body and revive!"

  "What about the result?" Qin Feng asked again.

  "The infant's vital energy was sucked dry by the snake spirit, and eventually died to become a vengeful spirit. Due to the presence of the snake spirit's primordial spirit, the infant slowly transformed into a serpent-like creature! This is what is known as a 'returning vengeful spirit', equivalent to the snake spirit having taken possession of the infant's body. The reason why the infant suddenly became ill was because its yang energy plummeted after being invaded by the snake spirit for a short period of time, causing its body to feel unwell.

  This is exactly what Qin was worried about - if they couldn't drive out the snake spirit's primordial spirit within the time it takes to burn an incense stick, then the infant would die due to exhaustion of its vital energy, resulting in the loss of a life."

  It's rare for a snake spirit to possess someone, and it's even rarer for them to understand the art of corpse manipulation. For a snake spirit to return to its body, it must find a medium with the weakest yang energy, which is why it chose an infant because they are born with insufficient yang energy.

  It's worth mentioning why this corpse demon is a rare sight in a hundred years. Corpse demons, as a means of demonic cultivation, usually require certain conditions to reach this level. In other words, to master the corpse demon, one must have extremely strong yin energy within themselves, enough to seize control of their body. However, this snake spirit had only recently started cultivating, so Qin guessed it was a case of yin corpse manipulation. Only a yin corpse with eight killing yin energies would be able to provide the snake spirit with that much yin energy in a short period of time.

  。）

  "So that's what it means, then all the rice vinegar and雄黄 we used were wasted?" Qin Feng listened carefully to his grandfather's explanation, and was shocked in his heart that such a situation existed in this world, it was really unthinkable.

  "It figures, no wonder the snake demon was so obedient and got subdued by us. Now I get it, let's hurry up, Xiao Feng!"

  They soon arrived at a house on the west side of Dongtou Village. At first, the people in the house thought that the child was just frightened by the barking dogs, but when they learned from Qin Ye that their son had actually been possessed by a snake spirit, they were so shocked and terrified that they almost fainted on the spot.

  "Master Qin, is this true?" "Master Qin, please save my son!..." Just shouting like this two or three times, scared the neighbors on both sides so much that they didn't know what had happened, and couldn't care about the snake spirit anymore (the neighbors were really concerned, at this time who cares about danger, as soon as they felt something was wrong, they immediately came out to take a look), and they all came to the Liu family's house to see what was going on.

  As things were getting out of hand and more people were gathering, Qin Feng wanted to stop them, lest the situation become even more complicated with so many people around.

  Looking at Grandpa Qin, he was also thinking about how to drive the snake spirit out of the baby's body. If it were in the past, there would be no problem, just a simple exorcism, but this time it was a corpse demon, which was a hundred times more powerful than a ordinary ghost, and if not handled properly, it could lead to disastrous consequences.

  "Grandfather, is there any good way?" Qin Feng was really worried about the baby's safety, watching the baby cry louder and louder, everyone was seeking help from Grandfather Qin, and he himself was anxiously asking.

  To be honest, this is the first time Qin has encountered a corpse demon. He had only heard of it before and knew how powerful it was. However, as for how to crack it, Qin really didn't have any experience and only knew that he needed to use the Seven Star Nailing Sun Method to deal with the corpse demon.

  Master Qin continued: "My master once told me that only Dingyang can break this corpse Gu."

  "Qiang Yang? Grandfather, isn't that the Tian Shi Dao's secret method of gathering yang energy? Is this going to work?" As soon as he heard his grandfather wanted to use this move, Qin Feng immediately asked, because he knew that Qiang Yang was extremely troublesome and also extremely dangerous. If it didn't go well, even Grandfather Qin's life might be in danger.
