Chapter Thirty-Six, The Corpse King
"Do you need your subordinates to check?" Yan Liang looked at Lin Zheng.
"What Qin Lu said is mostly true, Old Man He's coffin is made of a strange wood to suppress evil wood, originally I was still curious, but now it seems that this is the reason. Lin Zheng shook his head, he had already found out that something was wrong: "And check on us to find a chance, the coffin has been nailed to death, and there must be traces if it is forcibly broken." ”
"Then this Qin Lu ......"
"I still can't believe it, and I must not be led by this person. Lin Zheng shook his head, he wanted to leave just like that, but Old Man He had helped the Heavenly Master Pavilion in his early years, so he had to be involved in the affairs of He Mansion.
Just when the three of them didn't know where to investigate, the second lady suddenly came to the courtyard with a food box.
"Lin Gongzi, there are too many guests today, and I can't take the sheng flute, so let me entertain you. The second lady bowed and smiled slightly and walked into the room.
"Sheng Xiao really thinks too much, Old Man He's future must be a flood of guests, how can I feel that I have been left out because of this?" Lin Zheng laughed and stepped forward to take the food box.
The second young lady turned red, lowered her head and found a seat to sit down.
"I don't know the name of the second lady. Lin Zheng asked.
"My name is He Fangrong, and my father is more enchanting from Fangrong. The second lady's face turned even redder, and her lowered eyes shone with spring light.
"Miss Fangrong, do you know why Old Man He's coffin was nailed, why don't you let us see Old Man He one last time?" Lin Zheng asked, observing He Fangrong's reaction.
Sure enough, hearing Lin Zheng ask about the coffin, He Fangrong's eyes immediately revealed horror, and then said: "Yes, it was because a mouse slipped in, and I found that my father's face was incomplete, so I had to cover the coffin so as not to frighten the guests." ”
"It turned out to be this reason, but I heard that Old Man He's body had undergone a corpse transformation, so the coffin was covered and nailed to death, and now I think about it, it's really a rumor that can't be believed. Lin Zheng looked talking and laughing, but He Fangrong was a little restless.
Lin Zheng saw everything in his eyes, but did not expose it, but quietly waited for He Fangrong to tell the truth.
Actually, that's not the case. He Fangrong was a little nervous: "Actually, my father is indeed a corpse, but for the sake of my father's reputation, I had to hide it." ”
"Is that really the case?" Lin Zheng looked at He Fangrong with a surprised expression.
"Hmm. He Fangrong nodded, not deceiving Lin Zheng, but his heart was much lighter.
"Old Man He has been benevolent and righteous all his life, how can his corpse change after death? And it came so quickly?" Lin Zheng looked at He Fangrong with some puzzlement.
"In fact, the day of the father's corpse transformation was also the first day that the third sister and her husband returned to the mansion......" He Fangrong didn't want to speculate on others, but Qin Lu's return was really coincidental, and it was hard not to think of it.
Lin Zheng turned his head to look at Yan Liang.
"Miss Fangrong, it just so happens that I have these two people with me, and there is a strange man among them, who is very familiar with the corpse transformation, and he may be able to reverse the corpse transformation of Old Man He at night and restore it to normal. After Lin Zheng finished speaking, he quietly waited for He Fangrong's reply.
"Which one?" He Fangrong looked at Yan Liang and Shen Yueting for a long time, and finally asked after hesitation.
"This one. Lin Zheng pointed at Yan Liang, he wanted to say Shen Yueting, but He Fangrong must have asked one of them like this, so Lin Zheng had no choice but to choose Yan Liang, who looked more reliable.
"If that's the case, you can give it a try...... He Fangrong didn't want to refuse Lin Zheng's kindness: "I'll go and tell my brother that tonight we will keep a vigil for my father, and it will be convenient for us to act at that time, okay?"
"You have to do it. ”
At night, after Lin Zheng and the three of them had dinner, they followed He Fangrong to the lobby.
At this time, it was already late at night, most of the guests had already left, and the few who lived far away also went back to their rooms to rest, and now only Lin Zheng and He Fangrong were in this silent lobby.
The smell of burning candles and incense was slightly pungent, and the pitch-black coffin with He Fangrong's white filial piety clothes was a little frightening, but the three of them were still sitting calmly on the futon in the lobby.
As a cold wind blew, Lin Zheng stood up: "It's almost, open the coffin." ”
Yan Liang nodded and walked towards the coffin.
At this moment, out of nowhere, there was a faint clicking sound, which seemed to be the sound of scratching a wooden board with a fingernail. The sound was very subtle, but it was not an ordinary person sitting there, and it was soon discovered that the voice was coming from the black coffin in front of him.
He Fangrong was already weak in his legs at this time and almost fell to the ground, looking at the black coffin in front of him in horror, he knew that his father would never be resurrected, so there was only one possibility left for the corpse to change.
"Lin Gongzi......" He Fangrong's voice trembled.
"It's okay, Yueting, you protect the second miss, otherwise I'll ask you. Lin Zheng looked at Shen Yueting and said.
"Yes, my subordinates understand. Shen Yueting took a few steps back, supported He Fangrong, and stood in front of her.
"Yan Liang, open the coffin. Lin Zheng said.
Yan Liang nodded, the iron pestle pried up and down the coffin lid, the coffin lid was removed, and a thick black smoke emitted from the removed position, Yan Liang covered his nose and cautiously retreated.
And the most terrifying thing appeared, accompanied by black smoke, a hand was also on the edge of the coffin, that hand was grayish-white, and all five fingers had purple and black nails two inches long.
Then, Old Man He, who had a hideous face and iron eyes, sat up from the coffin and pounced on Yan Liang.
"Be careful, don't hurt Old Man He's body. Lin Zheng said, he said this to He Fangrong, but if Old Man He was really that powerful, the three of them would not care too much.
Old Man He's corpse was extremely powerful after the corpse changed, and after pounced on Yan Liang, he actually lifted Yan Liang out, but fortunately, Yan Liang's body was so good that he landed in the air several times before he was safe.
"Jindan. Yan Liang said lightly.
Lin Zheng nodded, and then he was relieved, after all, it was just a corpse transformation that couldn't be too strong.
"Conquer it first, and see how we can get the corpse poison out. Lin Zheng said, Old Man He is benevolent and righteous all his life, and it is impossible to produce corpse poison after his death, it must be poisoned by someone, so as long as this corpse poison is eliminated, maybe it can be recovered.
"Daddy. The second lady looked at Old Man He's body and sobbed quietly.
Yan Liang took out a bundle of rope from his waist and threw it to Lin Zheng, and the two of them worked together to subdue Old Man He, and in his struggle, he actually smashed a huge pillar in the hall with one palm.
At this time, the attention of the three of them was all on the corpse of Old Man He, and no one noticed that on the roof of the lobby, a man was sitting cross-legged on it, and there was no trace of anyone on the falling snow under him.
"Detox. Lin Zheng used his true qi to try to force out the corpse poison in Old Man He's body.
"Fortunately, I haven't drunk human blood yet, otherwise my strength would have increased greatly. Lin Zheng said while running his true qi.
"Hmm......" He Fangrong looked at the huge pillar that was shattered, and knew in his heart that if it weren't for Lin Zheng here, he was afraid that the entire He Mansion would be washed in the blood of the corpse-transformed Old Man He, so he couldn't help but feel grateful in his heart.
"Thank you, Young Master Lin......" He Fangrong said with his head down.
"You're welcome, I can't bear to see Old Man He become like this......" Lin Zheng shook his head and said easily.
Just as the two were talking, He Shengxiao suddenly walked into the lobby with some food in his hand, and saw that his dead father was desperately trying to suck human blood, and he sat on the ground unsteadily.
"This, it's really a corpse......" He Shengxiao muttered.
"It's okay, Second Young Master He, the matter has been settled. Lin Zheng pointed to the corpse poison that was being forced out little by little on the ground: "When the poisonous water is all removed, Old Man He can be buried in the ground." ”
"Daddy......" He Shengxiao watched the bound old man He approach step by step.
"Brother, be careful. He Fangrong reminded.
But in the next second, He Shengxiao suddenly became difficult, and slapped a palm towards Lin Zheng, Lin Zheng was not in a hurry in surprise, he just ate a palm and flew out upside down, and the next second He Shengxiao was also slapped out by Yan Liang.
"Brother?!" He Fangrong witnessed this scene with his own eyes, and the surprise in his heart was no less than his father's corpse.
"Poof. Lin Zheng spurted out a mouthful of blood, and when he opened his shirt, a purple palm print appeared on the place where he was slapped on his chest.
"Corpse poison. Lin Zheng wiped away the blood in surprise: "He is also a corpse." ”
"What are you hiding from us?" Lin Zheng looked at He Fangrong.
"Actually, in fact, when my sister came back, my brother was overjoyed, so he went to pick it up in person, and when he came back, the whole person became weird......" He Fangrong cried and said.
"Poof. Lin Zheng spurted out a mouthful of blood again, and the purple palm print had already begun to spread towards his heart.
"Don't move. Yan Liang came to Lin Zheng's side at this time to help Lin Zheng suppress the corpse poison.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Seeing this, He Fangrong could only cry and cry powerlessly, and the apology that kept in his mouth was useless.
"It's okay, you go find a safe place to hide first, I don't call you, don't come out. Lin Zheng shook his head, signaling that it was okay for the corpse poison to be forced into a ball and remain in his chest under Yan Liang's suppression.
Lin Zheng took out a dagger, but there was very little corpse poison flowing out of the skin.
"My corpse poison is not so easy to force out. At this time, the person on the roof finally walked down, it was Qin Lu.
"Qin Lu. Shen Yueting's eyes showed anger, and he had already come to Qin Lu with one step.
"Hmph. Qin Lu snorted coldly, and in the next second, Shen Yueting flew out upside down, and he didn't even see Qin Lu's moves clearly.
Yan Liang's face turned cold, but Lin Zheng also needed his help to suppress the toxin, so he didn't make a move.
"Heavenly Master Pavilion Master, I didn't expect it to be planted in my hands so easily today. Qin Lu laughed loudly.
"Super first-class mysterious force, corpse king Qin Lu. Lin Zheng silently said Qin Lu's identity.
"Yes, it's right here, and I'm honored to have a great man like you write it down. Qin Lu laughed out loud again, killing the master of a force, such a credit would be rewarded even if he went back, not to mention that Lin Zheng was not an ordinary force master......
