My heart sank again.
You led me, but I didn't go. He just knocked on my door?
For a moment, I said nothing.
The knocking sound echoed again, loud and clear!
"Luo Xian Shen! Lame son, died a spy, himself became a turtle, useless coward, dare not come out anymore?"
Yōuyōu's voice carried a heavy tone of mockery.
"Deservedly, the old wretch was exposed to the wilds in an open coffin! No guts at all!"
"I'll go back and cut him up, piece by piece, and throw it in!"
The last two words from Lao Liang left my face horrified!
Exposed to the wilds in an open coffin, Old Qin's coffin was right next to the Corpse Immortal's coffin. The Corpse Immortal had a pavilion, so Old Qin was directly exposed to sun and rain.
It sounds like Lao Liang intends to have dragged Old Qin's body back.
Yes, the Corpse Immortal targeted Old Qin, and it is reasonable for Lao Liang to take him away...
"I dare not!" I roared.
Silence echoed outside the courtyard, as if even the breaths had stopped.
I hurried to the door and peered out through the crack, but outside was empty and desolate; not a trace of Lao Liang's presence could be seen.
I suddenly pulled the door open. In the distance, I saw Lao Liang with a limp, running urgently in the direction of the village to the west, as if his house was on fire.
My face flushed instantly.
If Lao Liang really cuts up Old Qin's body, I would be the biggest traitor!
Taking a step, I was about to chase after him!
Suddenly, a cold and painful sensation shot through my wrist.
A shiver ran through my heart, it was the Reparation Demon reminding me again!
Even if he is out of control, he would still warn me of dangerous situations.
But, when it comes to such things, even if it's clearly dangerous, can I just avoid them?
Even if it means bringing up the earth itself, I cannot harm Old Qin's corpse!
Besides, in this way, I didn't go out to bring down my Yang Shen, but I saw Old Qin's corpse again!
It also indirectly confirms that Old Qin is a corpse, not a living person!
That means all of Mao You's deductions were wrong!
In a flash of thought, I ran towards Lao Liang!
It took about ten minutes, along the old village path with no one in sight, to catch up with Lao Liang's house.
Lao Liang's limp legs weren't fast, but he had already run a bit ahead. I never caught up to his shadow.
At this moment, his door was open, with the upper and lower door panels blocking most of the space, leaving only a small part in the middle.
This opening the door is clearly a setup!
A grinding sound of sharpening knives came from within the door.
My breathing became heavy, and a wave of anxiety washed over my heart.
Taking big strides, I walked to Lao Liang's house and bent my body, lifted my leg, and squeezed into the courtyard inside!
The yard was vast, and the interior felt even more crowded. Three sides of the courtyard were filled with half-finished coffins of varying sizes, standing on the steps below the eaves.
In the center of the yard, logs, wooden planks, and many of the carpenter's tools were piled up.
A whetstone for sharpening knives was placed in the most prominent spot.
But, there were no knives there, and no trace of Lao Liang.
I didn't see the mulberry wood coffin of Old Qin at all.
A dull thud echoed, as the courtyard door behind me closed.
I spun around abruptly, and a shiver ran down my spine!
There was someone at the door, but it wasn't Lao Liang!
It was Liu the widow!
Liu the widow's cheeks were sunken, and her face was mostly covered by several patches of talismans.
She suddenly rushed towards me and tried to choke me!
I didn't panic. I withdrew the black donkey hoof from my waist and stuffed it forcefully into Liu the widow's mouth!
My movements were quick, and in an instant, the black donkey hoof was shoved into Liu the widow's mouth!
A hissing white smoke rose, and Liu the widow let out a wailing cry, then fell straight onto the ground!
But this wasn't over yet.
Suddenly, several yellow figures burst out of the pile of coffins. Two shadows fell from directly above me as well!
Sure enough, they were the Eight Immortals paper figures!
Dashing forward, I suddenly spun around in place, and the dog bone ashes were sprinkled out instantly!
The gray and white bone ash stuck to the ground around me in a thin layer instantly.
The Eight Immortals immediately stopped moving closer!
However, their lifeless faces stared at me blankly.
Their faces, all of a sudden, showed a rigid smile.
The paper figures' eerie laughter was already terrifying, but their rigid smiles made my scalp crawl!
I quickly took out a mineral water bottle, holding six rooster tail feathers between my fingers!
I cautiously scanned my surroundings and shouted, "Lao Liang, I'm here. Are you too scared to come out?!"
With those words, a dull explosion echoed.
On the west side, a coffin board crashed towards me violently!
I quickly dodged, and the coffin board grazed my clothes, tearing off a large piece with a whooshing sound.
Lao Liang, with his limp, bald head, and buck teeth, stood inside a coffin on the west side. His face was contorted with a wild laugh, and there was an aura of malevolence.
And in his hand, he held a large axe!
He was too short. The axe was even a third of his height!
The bright axe blade gave the impression of being able to cut through iron like mud!
"Where is the corpse?!" I demanded.
Lao Liang sighed and said, "Surrender, and I will show you the corpse of the old one immediately."
My eyelids twitched fiercely.
Lao Liang is using one trick after another, knowing that this is my weak point, and wants to directly manipulate and control me?
Without a word, I took out a packet of dog bone ash and hurled it towards Lao Liang!
Lao Liang's reaction speed was quick. He raised his axe and, with a whoosh, the dog bone ash was scattered and flying.
I leaped up and fell onto Lao Liang's shoulder!
He quickly brushed away the bone ash with his sleeve and swung his axe towards me with his right hand!
But, he didn't use the blade of the axe; he used the back of it!
It looked like a strike, but it was actually a slam!
He brought me here, and he doesn't plan to kill me?
I closed my legs, and they just landed on the incoming back of the axe.
Using the force, I leaped up to a height of ten chi!
But right at this crucial moment, Lao Liang not only didn't defend himself against me, he even swung the axe and heavily dug into the ground with all his might!
The gales whistled, and the dog bone ash I had scattered was raised by the power of the wind and scattered to the other side of the yard.
Everything happened extremely quickly, and I also exerted force to fall, aiming to land on his shoulder!
Lao Liang was hoping for the help of the Eight Immortals!
However, he overestimated the situation. With just a few breaths, I would be enough to make him lose his ability to move!
In an instant, the Eight Immortals charged towards me!
I landed directly on Lao Liang's shoulder.
Lao Liang looked up, and his snaggle-toothed face wore a smug smile of triumph!
My heart sank slightly, and my hands fell to his temples, preparing to twist his head!
But my shoulders suddenly tightened as someone grabbed me firmly!
And my face felt a chill as another pair of hands held my head...
It wasn't the Eight Immortals, as they hadn't even come close to me yet.
In this sudden change, they suddenly stopped, surrounding me without getting closer...
My body was tensed up, and the hands that were holding my head seemed to exert more force, as if they would snap my head off at any moment!
Sweat dripped down in large beads.
Lao Liang still maintained the action of looking up. He licked his lips and murmured, "Your courage is indeed great, but your intelligence... well, it's truly foolish."
"Why didn't she kill you instead?"
