Chapter 25: Departure

The scoundrel wanted revenge, but he had no choice but not enough power, so he remembered the ancestral corpse puppet in his family. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

With the stabilization of the situation on the mainland, there are few wars, and there are no more sects to entrust corpse puppets, plus Gu worms need to be nourished by blood, how can there be so much blood to feed Gu worms without war, under the trade-off, the clansmen simply abandoned this craft, and by the time of his great-grandfather, he could no longer refine corpse puppets.

Therefore, almost no one in the city knew that the rogue ancestor had such a craft.

It's just that there is an ancestral coffin in the house, and there is a corpse puppet lying in it, which is said to be specially refined by the ancestors for the family, which can protect the safety of the clan at critical times. Zu Xun Youyun only allows the children of the family to wake up the corpse puppet when their lives are threatened, but since the family moved to Los Angeles, they have been living a peaceful life, and no one has ever tried whether this corpse puppet is still effective.

The scoundrel didn't know the bottom of his heart, but when he thought of the punches and kicks that Mr. Su and the people had beaten and kicked him on the street that day, he was resentful, so he was angry and found the last book handed down by the family that recorded the method of controlling the corpse puppet, according to the book, first drip blood to recognize the owner, and then buy ten chickens from the street, and pour all the chicken blood into the mouth of the corpse puppet.

Unexpectedly, the puppet actually opened its eyes and woke up completely.

Because the scoundrel had ancestral blood flowing in his body, the Gu worm sensed him at once and established a master-servant connection.

The blood of the ten chickens could not satisfy the appetite of the Gu worm at all, and it happened that the scoundrel wanted to revenge Mr. Resuscitation, so he ordered the corpse puppet to sneak into the inn that night, first sucked up the blood in Mr. Su's body, the scoundrel was still not satisfied, and then ordered the puppet to tear Mr. Su's body to pieces, and then he felt that the hatred in his heart was eliminated.

Because the corpse puppet is controlled by Gu worms, its movements are more flexible than ordinary puppets, and it moves silently, and it does not have any smell on its body, so it is not even noticed by Xiaolan, who lives next door.

I wanted the puppet to kidnap Mrs. Su, but I was afraid that I would be suspected of doing it, so I decided to wait until Mrs. Su left Los Angeles before doing it, so that no one would suspect him.

After the scoundrel did all this, he only felt happy at first, but the next day he heard that the streets and alleys were talking about it, and even the monks of Wangxian Pavilion intervened in the investigation, so he felt afraid, lest he be found out that he had done it, and he hid in the house and did not dare to go out.

I am afraid that the existence of the corpse puppet will be discovered, and I want the puppet to go back to sleep. The book is a fragment, and it only records how to wake up the corpse puppet, but it does not talk about how to make the Gu worm go into a dormant state.

Although the scoundrel has ancestral blood, it is only very thin, and the control of the Gu worms in the puppet is far inferior to that of his ancestor. The Gu worm tasted the delicious taste of human blood, and how could it be willing to sleep again.

In order to avoid the limelight temporarily, the scoundrel had to buy a bunch of chickens and ducks at his own expense, but how can the blood of chickens and ducks compare to the deliciousness of human blood, Gu worms only drink the blood of one person and become addicted, and they can't look down on the blood of chickens and ducks.

During the day, there are more human activities and blood flow is faster, which is equivalent to a human-shaped delicacy for the Gu worm, tempting it to rush to the streets to feast.

If it weren't for the scoundrels forcibly suppressing the Gu worm's actions, the corpse puppets might have rushed to the streets in broad daylight to suck people's blood.

At night, the Gu worm who had been hungry for a day was restless, and the scoundrel felt that he couldn't control the Gu worm anymore, in order to prevent the corpse puppet from sucking it at any person, in case he provoked someone in the city who couldn't afford to offend, attracting the monks who were high in Wangxian Pavilion, the scoundrel thought of someone who could help him.

The shopkeeper of the inn at the end of the street and the scoundrel are of the same clan, but they were separated five generations ago, and few people in the city know that the two are brothers.

So the scoundrel begged the shopkeeper and promised to lend him the corpse puppet for use, on the condition that the corpse puppet would be allowed to suck human blood in his inn. Anyway, the people staying in the inn are all foreign travelers, and if they die, they will die in vain, and the shopkeeper also wants to control the puppet to do things for himself, so he agrees to the rogue deal.

That night, Gu worms were allowed to control the puppet to suck blood in the inn, and in order to prevent anyone from getting up in the middle of the night to discover the puppet's secret, the shopkeeper put sweat medicine in the free tea provided to the guests.

The Gu worm drank enough human blood, and the shopkeeper opened the door to send the corpse puppet out, and it happened that the husband passed by this street with a lantern, and the shopkeeper did something bad and was empty-hearted, and when he saw the husband walking by, he thought that the other party had found something, but fortunately he ordered the puppet to kill the puppet as well.

Due to the vicious murder in the city, the arresters in the yamen will also patrol the streets these days. When the puppet was about to kill the puppet, the patrolling hunter was coming towards the puppet, and the leader saw that it was too late to stop the puppet, so he smashed the lantern in his hand at the puppet and triggered a signal that the situation was critical.

It's also the luck of this husband, what the Gu worm is most afraid of is fire, seeing the oncoming lantern, the puppet had to retreat, and the husband also reacted and quickly joined the catchers.

The monk of Wangxian Pavilion, who received the signal for help, quickly set up a formation to divide the ground into a prison and trapped the puppet inside.

And the shopkeeper, who was hiding behind the door of the inn and peeking around, noticed that something was wrong, and quickly closed the door, while thinking about how to get himself out of it. It's just that the catcher has already noticed the shopkeeper's movements and realized that this puppet is likely to have something to do with him.

Sure enough, the arrest was only scared once, and before the torture was used, the shopkeeper confessed everything. As soon as he got the confession, he immediately arrested the scoundrel, and after the trial, he learned the whole story.

The culprit corpse puppet was taken away by the monks of Wangxian Pavilion, and it is said that the puppet cannot be killed by ordinary methods, and it is necessary to take it back to the sect and use spiritual fire to burn it.

This case is solved, and at the same time, it has also caused the people of Los Angeles to think deeply, whether it is because of their connivance that the scoundrels have gradually become rampant, and things have developed to the point where they are now.

After Mrs. Su learned the cause of her husband's death, she regretted it, thinking that if she had dissuaded her at that time, Mr. Su would not have beaten the scoundrel and would not have lost his life.

The case was solved, and the arresters guarding the door of the inn were also withdrawn, and the travelers who stayed at the inn could leave at any time.

Mr. Su's body is still in Yizhuang, and Mrs. Su decided to bury him in Los Angeles and intends to settle here to accompany her lover forever.

Because she was going to join her relatives, there would be no one around Mrs. Su who could help for a while, and for the sake of being on the same road, Lin Xi and a few people stayed to help.

After attending Mr. Su's funeral, several people were ready to leave Los Angeles. At this time, there was no caravan to Taosang, but fortunately, Los Angeles was only seven days away from Taosang City, the plains were relatively safe, and post stations were set up along the road.

Early the next morning, the group said goodbye to Mrs. Su and left Los Angeles.
