The corpse stood at the door of the hall.

The mother sat down on the floor of the mourning hall with a frightened face.

The corpse's head was wrapped in a black cloth, and it was impossible to see what it looked like.

"Hey."

I didn't know where the courage came from, so I subconsciously shouted out, just wanting to attract the attention of the corpse.

The corpse turned its head to look at me, I scolded loudly, it suddenly turned around and rushed towards me, I retreated, but Xu Buhuo went straight forward and kicked the corpse.

The corpse's whole body was hard and infinitely powerful, and Xu Buhuo, who took the initiative to kick out, was hit on me and rolled me to the ground with me.

As soon as he looked up, the corpse was standing in front of him, and a clicking sound came from his mouth under the black cloth. The instant feeling was like being stared at by a tiger, deaf in both ears, unable to hear anything, and not daring to move.

Am I scared, you ask?

I'll tell you not to be afraid, it's not that I don't want to be afraid, it's that my brain is blank, and I don't know what to think.

The cold wind blowing on my face, and the coldness caused by the evaporation of cold sweat all over my body made me wake up quickly, and just as I was thinking about what the corpse was going to do, it suddenly disappeared into the darkness outside the small courtyard at a very fast speed.

"."

Xu Buhuo just wanted to chase after him, hugged his feet and snorted in pain, grinning his teeth and inhaling cold air, kicking the corpse and being injured.

Although it was a false alarm, the pressure was still not small, my hands and feet trembled weakly, I gritted my teeth and held on to the uncomfortable and helped Xu Buhuo to the house and sat down. The mother had also come to her senses, looked at the empty bed board and asked Brother Li.

"I ran away."

"Fraud, deception?" My mother stammered, I nodded, and she asked who the person was just now, and I shook my head and said I didn't know, I didn't say that the corpse was not human.

I know that I can't let the people in the village know about the corpse, otherwise they will know that Uncle Qin was not torn apart by the beasts from the mountain, but by the corpse that looks like a human but is not a human.

"Where's Lao Li?"

I was struggling how to explain the disappearance of Brother Li's body, when Sister Liu's voice sounded on the side, she looked at the bed board in a daze, her face was as bad as a dead man.

The incident had already happened, and I couldn't hide it, so I stubbornly said that Brother Li suddenly got up and ran away by himself.

After listening to it, Sister Liu's eyes dizzy.

It was not yet dawn, and everyone in the village was asleep, so it was obviously unrealistic to let people get up to find Brother Li, who had cheated the corpse, so I could only suppress the urgency in my heart, and found liquor and ginger slices to wipe Xu Buhuo's swollen right foot.

My mother was taking care of Sister Liu in the room, and I whispered, "What is a corpse?" ”

"A kind of weirdness, it can also be said to be an upgraded version of a zombie, the corpse is buried in an inappropriate place, and after subtle changes, it will produce a very low intelligence, just like the kind you see on TV, with infinite strength, stiff movements, and like to eat blood."

"Use the secret method to make the zombie's stiff joints soft, and then let the specially cultivated corpse worm drill into the zombie's body, so that the whole body becomes the nest of the corpse worm, after some evil arts, it becomes a corpse, the whole body is stiff, and the strength is infinite, I once saw a corpse with my own eyes, tearing people in half alive, but that was decades ago."

In the mourning hall, it was a little frighteningly quiet, I swallowed my dry throat and asked, "It's so powerful, how can it be extinguished?" ”

"Fire."

Xu Buhuo said in a heavy tone: "Fire can destroy a lot of things, and it also contains extremely strong yang energy, like a corpse person, or a corpse, as long as it can be ignited, it can be burned to death, as for the corpse, there is another way to solve it, that is, to kill the corpse worm that controls the action in its head, or it can be killed." ”

The strength of the corpse is so great, it is obviously unrealistic to kill the corpse worm in the head, so I began to think that I must prepare something flammable to bring on my body to prevent the corpse from appearing at any time.

Thinking of what happened so recently, I couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't it move on me just now?" ”

Catching the corpse's attention, it rushed at me, thinking it was going to tear me apart, but when I lost my resistance, it just stared at me for a few seconds before leaving.

The more I think about this situation, the more I feel that it is a bit unreasonable, so that it comes to the yard and just wanders around?

"I don't know, maybe it's the person behind the control who doesn't want to clean you up for the time being." Xu Buhuo also looked puzzled.

While waiting, thinking about the corpse of Brother Li, I thought again, according to my father's prophecy, the six coffin bearers will die, and now one of them, Brother Li, died in the evening, and the corpse will change in the middle of the night, so will the remaining five people also have a corpse change after death.

If this is the case, then measures must be taken in advance, otherwise every dead person will be mutated, and the village will really be in chaos.

Another point is that the collection of books says that the corpse transformation must have an impact, just like the princess Wang, Xu Buhuo analyzed before that her corpse transformation was because she was refined before her death, she had eaten corpse oil, and the corpse was transformed on the night of death. and the proximity of cats and dogs, which will also bring about corpse changes.

It is impossible for Brother Li to have eaten corpse oil, and there have never been cats and dogs in the mourning hall, so I can't think of the reason for his corpse transformation.

At the same time, looking at the sky that will soon become brighter, I feel even more irritable, and I don't know how to explain to the people in the village about Brother Li's corpse.

Last time, Mrs. Wang cheated the corpse, and the people in the village didn't notice it, mainly because Mrs. Wang had a bad relationship with the people in the village, and no one paid attention to it.

Brother Li is different, he is a well-known good person in the village, who will take the initiative to help when there is something in the village, as soon as the morning dawns, the people in the village will begin to come to the door to mourn, just like grandma dies, someone will come to the door at any time.

In the end, I don't think I can hide it.

Although the corpse mutation is scary, the corpse mutant will only hide in a dark and damp place during the day because of the heavy yang energy.

I am going to use Xu Buhuo as a shield, saying that Brother Li is a little weird because of suicide, so I will not mourn for the time being, and then take advantage of the daylight time to find Brother Li's body back.

The corpse can still be killed, and after finding Brother Li, he can only let him rest completely like cleaning up the princess, and then bury him.

The idea was given to Xu Buhuo, and he nodded and said that it was feasible, but there should not be too many people to find the corpse, otherwise the people in the village would notice it.

The people in the village obviously can't do it, I thought about it, and I could only go to find the fat man and the stone of the buddy in the next village, so I went out just after dawn and went straight to the Zhongshan Village next door.

Stone and the fat man were very surprised that I suddenly came to the door, and before I opened my mouth, I was worried that the two of them would not dare to participate because they were afraid, but after I finished speaking, the two of them were so happy that they were even more eager to find the body than me.

For no other reason, I was curious, I wanted to see if the dead man could really get up and run by himself as rumored, and felt that if he participated in this kind of thing, he would have to blow on the wine table in the future.

At nine o'clock, we returned to Brother Li's house, and Sister Liu was weak and in a very poor state because of the corpse fraud, so she was taken care of by her mother, and at the same time explained how to return to her village people to mourn.

Then, the four of us closed the courtyard door and separated, and I and the fat man, Shi and Xu Buhuo, took the village as the center, and scattered to the surrounding woods and ravines to find it.

According to Xu Buhuo's explanation, people who have changed corpses will run to damp and dark places at dawn, and where the sun can't shine for a long time, they are most likely to hide their corpses.

There are countless ravines behind the village, and there are many places where the sun can't shine, so we can only look for them everywhere. The stone in the middle listened to me say something that happened before, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

When he first learned that he was coming to find the body, he was very excited, but after listening to what I said, from his face, I knew that he was still a little scared, and at the same time he regretted a little, feeling that he should not involve the two of them in these things.

Because I have long found out that everything that happened during this period of time is related to my family and me, just like Uncle Qin, who didn't really help, but was killed by the corpse Xiao just by making suggestions, and Brother Li also died because of carrying his grandmother's coffin, if the two of them suffered something because of me, I don't know how to pay it back.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, I searched all around the village, but I didn't find Brother Li, so I analyzed whether he would run away, so he was not around the village, Xu Buhuo immediately said no, the person who changed the corpse, unless someone deliberately controlled it, otherwise he would not leave home too far.

I was very anxious, and I understood that the matter of defrauding the corpse was delayed under the pretext, and it could be delayed in a day or two, but if it dragged on for a long time, the people in the village would be suspicious. And that's just one thing, my father's horrific prophecy has already begun, and it is impossible to determine who the next person to carry the coffin will be and when he will die.

If you continue to continue to die, it will only get more chaotic. And it's already afternoon, it's getting dark, and if Brother Li runs around, it will be even more difficult to find it.

"Old man, can't you help it?"

I begged for Xu Buhu, what happened in the past few days has exhausted me, I really want to do nothing, lie down and sleep for two days, but I can't do it.

"Yes, but it's a bit costly."

From Xu Buhuo's ugly face, it can be seen that if he had a choice, he would definitely not use the method he hadn't said. But until now, I can't care so much, so I ask what to do, and say it.

"There is a secret method that can find the corpse according to the eight characters, but the corpse finder is required, and this method will consume a year's life of the corpse finder if used once."

One search for the body, one year of life.

Life expectancy, it's hard to determine, I wanted to quibble, but from Xu Buhuo's face, I knew he wasn't joking, and asked calmly: "The price is really a year of life?" ”

"When have I ever joked with you? Do you know why those corpse diggers by the Yellow River died when they were around fifty years old? Because they know this secret method, they will find the corpse at the cost of their lifespan, otherwise, do you think they still have their own radar, the water is so muddy, there are so many undercurrents, and they will know where the corpse is if they drill down? ”

I have heard rumors that most of the professional corpse diggers along the Yellow River do not live to be 60 years old. As for their means of accurately locating the stranded corpses, many people say that they are water ghosts, and this is the meal they eat.

I didn't think about it, it was to find the body at the cost of life.

Thinking back to my father's prophecy, I have a strong feeling that tonight, some of the remaining five uncles are still going to have an accident. This is a feeling that can't be described, just like when someone gets up, there will be an inexplicable panic in my heart, feeling that something is going to happen, and something really happens after going out.

Before chaos comes, the matter of Brother Li's deception of the corpse must be dealt with.

One year of life, I dare to pay.

At this moment, I didn't know that this decision made me uncontrollable from then on.

It was this decision that put me on the road of no return.
