Chapter Thirty-One: The Unpredictable Reap of Life

  The gloomy sound pierces through bone and marrow, making people's feet numb from the soles up.

  The crows in the fourth quarter were unable to attack and couldn't even get their hands free.

  "Run!" At the critical moment when a thousand hooks were about to be fired, his mother thought of this most unorthodox method.

  "I shouted desperately: 'Follow me.'"

  The lotus-shaped footwork is still underfoot, this can't be messed up, or else I'll get lost in this formation.

  A crowd of people quickly followed me, hugging their heads and rushing forward. Hmm, it's still effective! The crows suddenly gave us some space, as if they couldn't fly over us, and instead became a fierce pecking force attacking our backs. The more painful it got, the more we hugged our heads and ran forward non-stop.

  Suddenly, a white circle appeared in front of me, and the moonlight shone down, illuminating a flat area. In the midst of this, a stone coffin appeared. Good grief! The stone coffin was just over there a moment ago, so why is it now on this flat ground? Hong Yizi and Ling Mao were still as stiff as before, leaning motionless beside the stone coffin.

  With a loud noise, the crows dispersed. Leaving us standing there in a daze, without the crow's pursuit, we couldn't adapt for a moment. Around the white circle, it was surrounded by a large circle of zombies, no sound, only cold white mist rising.

  No, no, no! Damn it, that stupid Li Xin is really dumb. I'm so angry in my heart that I want to tear myself apart. And again, he's being foolishly clever and running away with his tail between his legs. You damn idiot, at this moment, I suddenly realized that those crows were actually manipulated by someone to drive us here! Shit, it's another case of being clever but harming ourselves.

  Everyone crowded around me, standing individually. Liu Pang, having just gone through that ordeal, suddenly became more spirited and shouted loudly: "Damn it! Are you human or ghost? What's with this spooky formation? Trying to scare your grandfather?"

  But I was thinking in my mind, where did that gloomy voice go just now?

  Suddenly, a loud cawing sound filled the air, and a large group of crows flew over again. We instinctively covered our heads, "Mom, what's going on?"

  But instead of flying towards us, they landed neatly on the stone coffin, emitting a foul odor.

  At this time, I took a closer look at the stone coffin and found that in front of it were three memorial tablets, with the names Zhang Mei, Zhao Cai, and Liu Peng written on them. There was no mention of me or Old Qian's name.

  "My goodness, this is a living funeral. The name is written on the tablet, it's for entering the yin burial, as long as the stone coffin is sent together with the yin funeral, these three people will be hung with a life-taking charm at the same time, and sending the yin funeral is also to report to the Yin realm's Yanluo Temple that there are yin ghosts, quickly dispatch Heibai Wuchang to come and collect their lives. The moonlight is cold, the corpses are stiff, this scene is eerie and chilling."

  Something happened too suddenly, I asked in a low voice: "Have you done anything excessive?"

  Those three also discovered the three nameplates under the moonlight, and several people's names were shining brightly, scaring them pale. Mobile phone mobile terminal first launch address:

  Everyone shook their heads when they heard the question. I was anxious, it's this time now, mom, still pretending. I said directly, "Have you had a feud with each other? Can't wait any longer, what if something bad happens to you, you'll all be dead."

  Liu Pang almost cried and said: "Really didn't."

  Zhang Mei also said: "I've been a widow until now, the one I owe an apology to is that dead man, and the one I can justify myself to is also that dead man." Zhao Cai shook his head too. Now I know, it's even more troublesome, could it be that Nan Village broke the ground and hurt the Yin, causing enmity?

  Listening carefully, it was still that gloomy voice that hadn't arrived, and yet we were clearly driven here by the crows. What kind of plot is this?

  Things won't wait for people; otherwise, a good thing will be ruined and can't be fixed.

  I hastily asked Zhao Cai, "Do you have any paper on you?" Zhao Cai shook his head. Liu Pang, who was standing beside him, took out a small notebook and said with a crying face, "This is my work log, will this do?" I quickly grabbed it from him and looked at the three of them seriously, saying: "Listen carefully, everyone, this one is different from what we've seen before. Each time it gets more intense, lives are at stake."

  The three of them were shivering, their faces deathly pale.

  I tore off three pieces of paper and handed one to each of the three people, then said: "Quickly bite your middle finger, use blood to draw a personal mark on it."

  Zhang Mei and Zhao Cai quickly drew, without hesitation, biting their middle fingers to draw a personal style on the paper. Zhang Mei even specially drew two small braids. I nodded. While Liu Pang beside me was still crying with a sad face saying: "Director Li, how can I paint?"

  I slapped his hand into his mouth and roared, "Bite!" Liu Pang was so frightened that he bit down, hurting himself and crying out. Old Qian immediately covered his mouth.

  "Damn it, you're so nosy."

  I grasped his hand and drew two connected circles on the paper, then added hands and feet at the top and bottom, bringing it to life.

  I whispered: "Throw these three paper men into the circle, when Hei Bai Wu Chang comes later, he will take the paper men away, there is your blood on them, it should be able to deceive him."

  This is also what I learned from old books. When I have nothing to do, I like to flip through some old books. It says that when big ghosts and small ghosts are present in the sun and cannot escape, they all draw paper people to pretend to be themselves and go to make amends, while they can still be happy outside.

  At this moment, I suddenly woke up and came back to my senses. Oh no, it's another trap within a trap! This stone coffin was originally prepared for us all along. When the zombies passed by, they didn't succeed in taking us away, but now they've cast another ruthless curse on us. You should know that those who have been cursed with the Yin Ming Curse are almost as good as dead. The so-called "Ming" refers to the roster of the underworld, also known as being listed on the copper plate register, which is a done deal. The Yama Temple only manages the roster and doesn't care whether you're a wronged ghost or an evil ghost.

  First, they seemed to be on the same level as us, but then they started sending warning signals to scare people. Next, they built momentum with a stone coffin, and even caught Zhang Mei to warn her. But we broke through all of their tactics one by one. Now, they're after our lives! Damn it, who is it that can't get along with us? Could it be that I dug up your ancestor's grave and cut off your ancestral lineage?! You're pushing me step by step, forcing me to think I'm clever, but actually, I've been walking into your trap step by step. This is poisonous!

  The dark wind suddenly rose, blowing people's hair straight up. The surrounding zombies circled around the stone coffin and started to turn in circles, and a ring of white mist actually rose up.

  Zombies are actually corpses that have absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, while those that have rotted away become lonely ghosts. When a zombie is formed, it's quite frightening. They bite people and damage objects, only listening to the commands of their creator. This is because when a person dies and their soul disperses before finding its way back home, someone with deep spiritual powers intervenes, takes the corpse to a remote mountain to cultivate, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon to create an incorruptible body. Zombies are difficult to cultivate, requiring precise timing. People who have died and had their souls leave their bodies usually return home to take a look during the "head seven" period before wandering off to report to the underworld. These individuals are generally referred to as having "died with excess energy," and cannot be cultivated because their spirits have already escaped and their souls have settled. Only those who, like the ones mentioned earlier, haven't found their way by the "head seven" period can be cultivated, and they will only listen to their master's commands.

  But it's good to know that. In other words, zombies are thoughtless and will do whatever their master tells them to do, even if it means going all out.

  There must be someone manipulating things. It's definitely that gloomy voice. I thought to myself.

  The zombies spun faster and faster, the stone coffin suddenly floated up, and Hongyi Zi and Ling Mao fell to the ground, the zombies didn't care, still spinning, the stone coffin followed the rotation, also rapidly floating and rotating, a loud rumbling sound came.

  I'm worried about Hong Yizi and Ling Mao again, they still have some spiritual energy, how could it be like they were cursed or poisoned?

  But strangely, the zombie suddenly stopped abruptly and turned over again, extremely quickly. The stone coffin also quickly turned around. As if it was another round of white fog rising up.

  "This is ridiculous, what's going on, turning things upside down. I know that was an empty coffin, Zhang Mei's man had already been taken away by the true body and sent to another place. This is also one of my heartaches, in the end I still have to find him back because I promised that man to return his yang body."

  Another loud crash, and then everything stopped suddenly, the coffin crashing to the ground.

  A voice rose from the zombie crowd: "I've turned into a bewildered soul, can't find the way."

  Suddenly it dawned on me, this is to make these three people never find their way home for eternity, and he really thought it through.

  The gongs and drums suddenly sounded again, mom, it's a familiar sound, just listened to it once, and listen to it again.

  The zombies suddenly jumped up and surrounded the stone coffin, dancing non-stop. This is a Soul-Confusing Array, it seems that even the soul of the deceased will be confused.

  A voice came, "The auspicious hour has arrived, welcome the guest."

  As soon as the words were spoken, the wind grew stronger, and the trees creaked and swayed violently. Suddenly, two figures appeared out of nowhere - one black and one white - and rushed towards us, but instead charged at the three paper men on the ground. In an instant, they seized the three paper men and stuffed them into a stone coffin before flying away in a flash. The whole process was as swift as lightning, no wonder we often say that the three spirits are gone and the five spirits have fled - it's indeed that fast!

  "Are you clear about it?" The gloomy voice rose again.

  I was startled, mom, I've been looking for it all along, didn't expect it to appear now.

  "The lawsuit in the underworld has been settled, but my grudges have not been resolved. What do you say we should do?" The voice was low and menacing.

  "Grass, what hatred and resentment is this? You're talking as if you have a nose and eyes! Motherfucker, come out and I'll kill you!" It's Liu Quan, this guy is just like Old Qian before he got tempered, also so impulsive.

  Suddenly a white shadow flashed before us, and an old man in white clothes appeared, his whole body was white, but his face was strangely black, and his hair was all white. The black face was embedded in the white board, making people take a breath of cool air.

  "Take his life!" The old man suddenly waved his hand, and the zombie responded with movement.

  My goodness! A group of zombies suddenly rushed over, the sound of cracking bones filled the air, and the gloomy atmosphere made people's hearts turn cold.

  Although I'm still puzzled, I really don't know what this old guy is talking about with his mysterious words, saying something about settling the case in the underworld and the current grudge not being settled. Do we have lawsuits in the underworld too? Is this another trap?

  No time for me to think, the zombie had already pounced over with its blood-red mouth open wide, its sharp teeth gleaming with a ghastly white light in the moonlight, its stiff body rushing straight at me. Oh no, what's to be done!

  I hurriedly pulled a crowd of people together, everyone formed a circle, facing outward, and slowly rotated.

  The old man suddenly stood up with his hair and beard all standing on end, and shouted loudly: "All the vengeful spirits are in front, quickly take them away!" The zombies wailed and rushed over in a crowd.

  Liu Pang let out a loud cry, and a zombie suddenly tore off his sleeve. Zhang Mei's top was already torn open, revealing her twin peaks. Old Qian only had a small undershirt left on his upper body, his outer garment having been used to scare away the crows earlier, and he kept dodging around.

  "I shouted loudly, 'Be careful! Don't touch the zombie's hand! Don't let the zombie scratch you and make you bleed!'"

  My shout brought even more severe blows!

  Bang! Bang! Bang! The sound rang out continuously, and I secretly cried out in alarm, "Oh no, it's all over!"
