Chapter 4: Corpse Change

  "How precious is it? If you sell one casually, won't you be able to live a carefree life and get rich?" Jiang Le muttered to himself, excitedly.

  From a young age, he suffered hardships to grow up, now his mother's illness needs money, his own education also needs money, moving to a better place to live also needs money, and getting married in the future will need money too. In short, his life can only be filled with money. Now that he has obtained so many treasures, he naturally has endless fantasies.

  "It's useless stuff. If you want to spend the rest of your life unable to cure your soul's illness, then go ahead and sell all this."

  Jiang Le's head suddenly cleared. He hastily said with embarrassment: "I was just joking, how could I possibly sell it casually? Am I that kind of person?"

  No matter how much money you have, it's not as important as having your own body. Only with a healthy physique can you have a beautiful future. Which one is heavier or lighter, brother, can still be distinguished clearly.

  Jiang Le hastily threw aside his thoughts of making money and made a great effort to put on the appearance of a noble gentleman who viewed wealth as dirt.

  Mao Xiaofang didn't care about Jiang Le's antics and instead focused on introducing these items.

  After listening to Mao Xiaofang's introduction, Jiang Le finally understood why he said these were all good things.

  It's not about whether it's worth money or not, but because for the Taoist lineage, it is a very precious ritual instrument, extremely hard to come by.

  Like that bell, named Soul-stirring Bell, made of hundred-year-old yang copper, forged with the fire of the earth's veins, carved with the spell of capturing souls and stirring spirits, and then nurtured with Taoist methods, it gradually became spiritual. When encountering evil ghosts or objects, it will automatically sound an alarm, and the sound emitted has a certain damage to the soul of the evil object.

  The red thread is for binding evil spirits. It's made from silkworm silk that's over ten years old, then soaked in the pure blood of a black dog and nurtured in a place with strong yang energy for 49 days, making it extremely effective against zombies and other evil creatures.

  As for yellow paper, cinnabar and ritual brushes, they are all excellent and precious Taoist tools. The talismans drawn with them will be more effective.

  Of course, the bronze coins that Jiang Le coveted were indeed valuable, but these bronze coins were the spiritual ancient coins collected by Jin Lao over the years, which had been touched by countless people for thousands of years, containing a huge aura, with the effect of driving away evil spirits and ghosts, and well-preserved, making them the best material for making bronze coin swords.

  This interpretation naturally dispels Jiang Le's desire to explore the value of items.

  It seems that our family will also enter this line in the future. These things are life-saving materials. Life-saving things are better left in hand.

  "Ding ding ding, ding ding ding."

  "Huh? Master, look! This wind chime is ringing by itself. How mysterious!!" Jiang Le took out the Ling Po Bell in surprise.

  Mao Xiaofang's face changed, and he said in a bad tone: "What's so strange about it? The soul bell rang, this is the old man's corpse changing. What kind of terrible tomb did this old man go to before, the yin energy in his body can actually transform his corpse so quickly."

  "Corpse change? No way, how can it be so fast!!" Jiang Le was startled and quickly turned around to look at Jin Lao's corpse.

  At this moment, Jin Lao Tou, who was lying on the ground, his body was slightly trembling, as if he was having some terrible nightmare.

  His face had also turned green at this moment, looking very frightening.

  "Don't be stunned, take advantage of the moonlight not being too thick and the corpse transformation not being complete yet. Quickly use the evil-binding silk to bind him." Mao Xiaofang said solemnly.

  Jiang Le didn't dare hesitate, and quickly took out the red rope from the yellow cloth bag. After taking a look, he couldn't help but ask worriedly: "This rope is too thin, won't it be broken? Why don't we change to a thicker nylon rope or something?"

  Mao Xiaofang was speechless upon hearing this and didn't want to waste words with Jiang Le, directly saying: "I've only said it, whether you do it or not is up to you, anyway he's already a corpse and can't harm me."

  Jiang Le's face stiffened, how did Master suddenly become so cold? Is it because of Brother's greedy side that misled Master's impression of me? This won't do, I'm not purely greedy, I've been forced by life to be this way, Master.

  But for now, let's first resolve the crisis of the corpse changing, and then talk about other things.

  No more nonsense, Jiang Le took out the red rope and quickly ran to Lao Jin's side, tying up his hands and feet, the length of the rope was just over ten meters. After binding Lao Jin's body, there was still some leftover. Thinking for a moment, he used the remaining part to tie up the Lingering Soul Bell as well.

  Jiang Le could remember what Mao Xiaofang said earlier. This Suo Luo bell can alert against evil spirits and has a certain lethal power.

  I'll use the ghost bell to subdue you, let's see if you dare move again.

  Mao Xiaofang nodded secretly at this scene.

  A child can be taught; this kind of behavior, one action and three reactions, indeed has the wisdom root for cultivating the Tao.

  As expected, with the vibration of the bell, the old man's corpse suddenly stopped trembling, but it suddenly opened its eyes, which had turned blood red, revealing a sinister and venomous glow, and emitted a beast-like growl from its throat.

  Jiang Le was so frightened that he hastily dodged away.

  The corpse is indeed terrifying, and its appearance is unbearable for ordinary people.

  After watching Jiang Le busy, Mao Xiaofang continued: "Now open the yellow cloth bag, find a small bamboo tube, pour out some spiritual spring water from it, then take a piece of cinnabar and grind out red liquid with that black mirror."

  Jiang Le searched again and found a few things, then began operating according to Mao Xiaofang's words.

  These things made Jiang Le can't help but think of the zombie movies he had seen before, feeling that the atmosphere at this moment was so similar, unnatural. Jiang Le felt that it seemed not bad to be a demon-slaying, peerless and elegant Taoist priest either.

  Soon, Jiang Le ground out the ink, with a thickness that was just right, making him very satisfied.

  As a calligraphy enthusiast, Jiang Le had asked for guidance from a skilled calligrapher in Qingyang City and after persistent requests, he was finally given the opportunity to grind ink and observe. After doing this for more than three months, his skills were quite proficient.

  "The way you grind the ink is not bad, it's obvious that you've practiced calligraphy." Mao Xiaofang had a sharp eye and immediately noticed Jiang Le's skilled wrist movements. He felt very satisfied with this.

  The Taoist drawing talismans also requires sufficient wrist strength and powerful strokes to draw iron pen silver hook talismans, this is the foundation and cannot be ignored.

  "Heh heh, just a hobby, what's next?" Jiang Le was pleased with the praise but didn't become arrogant. Practicing calligraphy was his interest, not something to show off about.

  Mao Xiaofang nodded and said, "Draw a talisman."

  "Oh! Ah?" Jiang Le was about to make his move, then froze.

  What's the point? I won't be able to do it myself, will I?

  Mao Xiaofang said: "I didn't tell you to draw, move aside."

  Jiang Le hastily retreated a few steps, staring at Mao Xiaofang with wide eyes, wanting to see how this talisman was drawn.

  Mao Xiao's expression gradually turned solemn, then he pinched his sword finger, opened up a stance, muttered to himself, and with a wave of his sword, the sand ink that Jiang Le had ground suddenly started spinning, transforming into a red water flow suspended in mid-air, continuously swirling.

  Then five yellow papers flew out of the yellow cloth bag and surrounded the void in a fixed position.

  The next moment, the swirling ink splashed out and danced on the yellow paper, quickly taking shape.

  It seemed like a momentary dizziness, when the talisman was completed, Jiang Le seemed to see a flash of golden light, and then the feeling that the talisman gave people was different.

  How amazing!

  Jiang Le's mind was shocked and his mouth was dry.

  Is this the Taoist method? I used to watch movies and thought it was fake, but today I've experienced all sorts of unscientific things, thoroughly shattering the scientific evidence that ghosts are superstition.

  Thinking that he could master such a technique in the future, Jiang Le became extremely excited.

  Going to university is useless, even if you're a genius, you'll still end up working hard and kissing up to people, step by step, in order to succeed.

  When Brother learns Taoist magic, he becomes a high-ranking immortal who can ascend to heaven in one step and live freely and happily without bounds.

  The ball... completed, fell into Jiang Le's hands from mid-air.

  Mao Xiaofang seemed to have exhausted her magical powers, looking somewhat fatigued. Weakly, she said: "Quickly stick the evil-suppressing talisman on its forehead, this way we can stop it from absorbing the moon's essence and completing its transformation into a corpse."

  Jiang Le regained his composure and hastily followed Mao Xiaofang's instructions.

  However, just as Jiang Le was about to approach, Old Jin suddenly opened his mouth and let out a loud roar. Two sharp fangs appeared in his mouth, barely visible.

  Old Jin immediately started twisting again, this time the movement became more intense. He rolled back and forth, even the sound of the wind chimes couldn't calm him down.

  The ropes that bound the old man Jin, although they emitted a red glow, also seemed to be on the verge of being broken free at any moment.

  "This is bad. This old man has actually entered the Thousand Year Zombie Cave and contracted the extremely yin evil energy." Máo Xiǎo Fāng discovered the sharp fangs in Jīn Lǎo Tóu's mouth and sucked in a breath of cold air.

  "How ruthless!" Jiang Le was also shocked, but then he gritted his teeth and charged forward with the talisman.

  "What are you doing?"

  "Get him or I'll be the one who dies!" Jiang Le shouted as he jumped forward, pouncing on Old Man Jin.

  Mao Xiaofang was stunned, this little guy looked greedy and afraid of death, didn't expect that when he really encountered danger, he actually had some guts.

  Bang!

  Jiang Le fell down but was dodged by Old Jin, and landed with a thud, his internal organs in severe pain, and his mouth bleeding.

  With a flick of his tongue, he licked it, and it was the rebound of the teeth that bit his tongue.

  Damn it, it hurts so much, and you still dare to hide.

  Jiang Le's eyes also turned red, and he got up again with a pounce. This time, he grabbed Old Man Jin's legs. He held on tightly, no matter how hard the old man struggled, he couldn't shake him off.

  "Ahh!"

  Old Jin let out a low growl and his body suddenly began to slide, dragging Jiang Le in a continuous spin inside the house, sending Jiang Le dizzy.

  Jiang Le just tightly hugged and gritted his teeth to hold on.

  Mao Xiaofang was shocked by this scene, and when this kid got fierce, he was really terrifying.

  Seeing that he couldn't shake off Jiang Le, Jin Laotou suddenly stood up straight, turned around and opened his mouth to bite at Jiang Le.

  Jiang Le's eyes narrowed and his gaze turned sharp, his expression calm. Just as Old Man Jin's face was about to reach him, he raised his hand and a talisman quickly slapped onto it.

  Bang!

  The symbol stuck on the forehead of Old Jin, instantly releasing golden aura.

  "Want to bite me? First, let you taste the flavor of the Ling symbol."

  The old man's figure suddenly froze, just like a sculpture.

  Ginger happily looked at Mao Xiaofang and smiled: "Master, how is the apprentice's performance?"

  Mao Xiaofang praised: "Remaining calm in the face of danger, daring to fight and dare to contend, is a good seedling for cultivating the Tao."

  "Heh heh, so-so."

  "But you'd better come quickly, his body contains extreme yin evil energy, the driving evil talisman method is not enough, can only control him for a moment." Ma Xiaofang sighed.

  Jiang Le was shocked and quickly turned around to see that the symbol on Old Jin's forehead suddenly caught fire by itself, while Old Jin's mouth let out a low growl similar to that of a wild beast.

  Damn it, I've been busy all day.
