Volume 2 Rebirth Chapter 065 Collecting the Body

Shang Xiaodie watched the back of Shang Zhan's departure, and felt a huge shock in her heart.

She had just heard Old Man Zhang of the Zhang Ji Medicinal Materials Trading Company say that Lijiazhuang had been looted by the slaughter of the village by the wandering bandits, because Old Man Zhang was vague. So, she didn't believe it much. Naturally, I wouldn't have thought that this had anything to do with Li Kun.

However, Shang Zhan said it very clearly, he was talking about Lijia Village, where Li Qingshan was located. If this is the case, then Li Kun will definitely not be spared.

Thinking of this, Shang Xiaodie suddenly felt a sense of loss of soul.

In fact, Li Kun only had a one-sided relationship with her, and since that night, she has even forgotten about him. But at this time, because of this rumor, she remembered him again.

Li Kun's easy-going and sunny smile appeared in front of her very clearly, making her linger.

Shang Xiaodie walked alone on the mountain path back to the City God's Temple, very upset. When she was about to return to the Chenghuang Temple, she finally made a decision to go to Lijia Village to have a look.

Actually, Shang Xiaodie still didn't believe in this rumor, but she was not worried about Li Kun after all, so she decided to check it out.

Although Shang Xiaodie doesn't know the exact location of Lijia Village, it is not particularly difficult for her to find a village within 30 miles of her living in the mountains.

Shang Xiaodie took advantage of the darkness of night and finally found Lijia Village.

As soon as she arrived at the entrance of Lijia Village, Shang Xiaodie was immediately stunned by the tragic situation she saw. The scattered corpses and bones that can be seen everywhere, Rao is not afraid of ghosts, and she also feels a little creepy.

Shang Xiaodie subconsciously pinched the soul bell in her bag, which could ensure that she would not be harmed by the ghosts, which made her feel a little more at ease.

Shang Xiaodie didn't know where Li Kun's home was, so she could only find it by feeling. Most of these villages are very simple and typical of poor mountain dwellers.

After all, Li Qingshan is a disciple of the Cloud Gate Sect, and he is still quite famous in this area, and he will definitely have a rather magnificent independent mountain villa. Shang Xiaodie is very sure of this. So, she kept walking inside.

Without exception, all the bones she saw were scattered, and none of them were intact, making it impossible to distinguish and identify individuals.

Since this is the case, then Li Kun must be like this.

Shang Xiaodie's heart was sad when she thought of this, but she didn't cry. After all, there is far from any affection between him and Li Kun. Moreover, she has not felt any warmth since she was a child, and in the past few years, she has been used to seeing life and death, and these deaths are no longer enough for her to give birth to too much sentimentality. The reason why she came here tonight is largely to confirm the authenticity of the rumors, of course, it is undeniable that this rumor involves Li Kun, otherwise, she would not come.

Therefore, the tragedy of Lijiazhuang, for Shang Xiaodie at this time, made her feel more shocked than sad. Even if Li Kun is involved, she is only sad, and she is still not sad.

Shang Xiaodie trembled and walked inside, and although she felt a strong ghostly aura, she didn't see the formed ghost, which made her feel a little calm. After all, although she has been in contact with some ghosts so far, they are all individual. If she was to face a large number of unjust ghosts, she would still be afraid.

Therefore, along the way, she was inevitably a little timid, and subconsciously touched the soul bell and held it in her hand, so that her heart was more steady, and her courage was stronger.

Shang Xiaodie finally sees a sizable manor, which must be Li Kun's home.

Shang Xiaodie's heart couldn't help but beat faster, and for a moment, she didn't dare to go in immediately.

Although she was mentally prepared enough, she still didn't have the courage to face the fact that Li Kun was likely to turn into a pile of bones.

Shang Xiaodie hesitated outside the Lijiazhuang compound for a few moments before mustering up the courage to step inside.

Shang Xiaodie imagined a lot of scenes in her mind that she might see, but she didn't expect to see the scenes.

There were indeed a few piles of scattered white bones in the courtyard, but in the distance lay a complete naked corpse. The naked corpse in the courtyard looked particularly abrupt, but it made people feel strange and unbelievable.

Shang Xiaodie's heart was beating wildly, and it took a while to calm down, and after being convinced that it was not a ghost but a real corpse, Shang Xiaodie finally had the courage to walk over.

Li Kun?!

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Shang Xiaodie finally saw the naked corpse's face clearly, and it turned out to be Li Kun!

Shang Xiaodie didn't care about the visual impact of the man's naked corpse on her, she didn't hesitate and hurriedly ran over.

Sure enough, it was Li Kun.

Looking at Li Kun's lifeless face and the scars on his body like cobwebs, Shang Xiaodie finally couldn't help it, and cried out with a "wow-" cry.

Li Kun is really dead!

Although Li Kun didn't have much to do with her, let alone friendship, Shang Xiaodie's experience of going to Lixiang Courtyard to help the imp that night left a deep impression on Shang Xiaodie. The original sunny boy turned into a cold corpse at this time, which was really hard for Shang Xiaodie to accept. So, she couldn't help but cry sadly.

However, Shang Xiaodie did not fall into endless sadness, she gradually stopped crying, and planned to take care of Li Kun's funeral, after all, she couldn't bear to let him expose his corpse in the wilderness.

Since this is Li Kun's home, Shang Xiaodie easily finds Li Kun's robe and helps him put it on.

Li Kun, who was dressed in clothes, didn't look like a dead corpse at all, as if he was asleep.

If it weren't for the fact that the face was lifeless, like a dead man, Shang Xiaodie would have thought that he was really just asleep.

"That's not right!"

Shang Xiaodie suddenly sensed that something was wrong, but she couldn't remember what was wrong.

Shang Xiaodie looked at Li Kun's face, dazed, desperately trying to catch the strange idea that popped up just now.

After a while, she finally remembered.

Li Kun's corpse was different from a normal corpse.

"Yes, that's it. ā€

Shang Xiaodie suddenly understood, and hurriedly reached out to pull Li Kun's arm. Li Kun's arms are soft, and under her pull, he moves freely. Not only his arms, but also his head and neck, legs and feet, etc.

Shang Xiaodie still has this common sense, that is, the dead body must be stiff all over, and Li Kun's is not, this is what she found when she dressed Li Kun.

How so? Isn't he dead?

Shang Xiaodie's heart flutters.

She hurriedly reconfirmed, and found that not only were Li Kun's body joints soft, but even the skin on his body was elastic. It's a world away from a real corpse.

A strange thought popped up in Shang Xiaodie's mind. And that's—

Li Kun didn't really die!

"Li Gongzi, Li Gongzi. ā€

Shang Xiaodie became excited, and hurriedly pushed Li Kun's body, and shouted.

However, Li Kun did not react in any way.

As a result, Shang Xiaodie is dumbfounded again, and at the same time becomes more and more confused. She really couldn't understand how this could happen.

She simply sat cross-legged on the ground next to Li Kun's corpse, looked at Li Kun's face, and thought seriously.

According to rumors, it has been almost a month since this Lijia village was slaughtered by the so-called wandering bandits, which means that all the villagers here were killed a month ago. Then Li Kun should also have been killed together at that time.

Moreover, based on the bones in this village, it can also be judged that this massacre could not have happened in the last few days.

In this case, if this Li Kun died, it was impossible for his body to be preserved for so long without a trace of decomposition.

Of course, Shang Xiaodie is also a cultivator, and although her cultivation system is quite different from Li Kun's, she is not ignorant of the changes that cultivation brings to her body. She knew that forging a certain level of body would be extremely tough, and it was obvious that Li Kun was like this, which was known from the broken beast teeth on his abdomen. Moreover, all the villagers were eaten up by the beasts, but Li Kun's was not, because his body had become so tough that even the beasts could not tear off his flesh.

However, even this does not change the natural law that corpses are bound to decompose.

And Li Kun's body is dead but not rotten, which is very likely to mean that he is not dead.

However, Shang Xiaodie hopes so, but she still finds it incredulous. If he didn't die, then why didn't he wake up for so many days? and, as you can see, there was not the slightest sign of awakening.

Shang Xiaodie is still a little girl after all, and her knowledge is extremely limited, and it is impossible for her to come up with the reason.

Shang Xiaodie just sat next to Li Kun's body, looking at Li Kun's face in a daze, and couldn't decide what to do with him for a while.

"Hey, you living dead!"

Shang Xiaodie sighed leisurely and pouted and complained.

With this complaint, Shang Xiaodie's mind suddenly flashed, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but cry out: "Has he become a living dead?"

The Living Dead. Shang Xiaodie once heard that someone faked their death because of some kind of physical loss, and from the outside they looked like a dead person, and he was not really dead, but he was just unconscious. Therefore, such people are called "living dead".

It is said that there is a chance that the living dead will wake up, but this is very rare. Of course, for such a living dead, you need to take good care of it, otherwise, after a long time, you will really die.

Could it be that this Li Gongzi really didn't die, but just became the legendary living dead?

Shang Xiaodie thought so in her heart, and although she couldn't be sure, she still hoped that it was true. However, then, she inevitably made trouble. Because the living dead need to be cared for.

Shang Xiaodie hesitated for a while, and finally made a decision, patted Li Kun's face, and said, "Okay, for the sake of our acquaintance, this girl will take care of you first, but you can't just stay lazy and fall asleep, you have to wake up quickly." At that time, you have to repay me well, and I will charge interest. ā€
