The old witch's face was unnatural, and she muttered, "I've seen your emotion ghosts swell up like that for half a day. If she cries again, we'll be in trouble. A soul-fetching spell is simple and safe. You pulled out the copper sword and let her into the paper person. It doesn't look like a very reliable plan."
"Still too young in age, capable of combat doesn't mean you can..."
"He Ju!" the leader shouted.
Instantly, the old witch dared not utter a word.
The rest of those from the lower nine worlds looked at me with strange expressions.
I furrowed my brow, hardly expecting such an unexpected mix-up to occur.
He explained, so this wouldn't count as intentional...
One can only say that the information was not conveyed to them...
I picked up the paper ball on the ground, furrowing my brow and holding it in my palm.
I was going to unfold the paper ball directly and let the old woman out.
Suddenly, my arm was pulled by Yu Xiu, who shook her head dazedly and said, "Don't let her out; she completely doesn't believe in you anymore."
For a moment, I felt an indescribable complex and frustration in my heart.
But with the situation having developed as it has, the old woman is, after all, just a ghost. The thinking of a ghost is inherently stubborn.
If I were a ghost, I might well turn my back.
I tucked the paper ball safely away, then put the paper person away.
The old witch who had made the move slinked back to the leader's side, as if she had realized she had done something wrong.
The leader showed a trace of remorse.
I shook my head, and my emotions returned to normal.
By now, the old woman was also in my hand. I would send her to reunite with her son, and I would have fulfilled my promise.
The rest of the starved ghosts were all collected.
The leader nodded his head to Han Zizi, saying that upon returning, all the ghosts would be sent to the supervision training ground.
Han Zizi didn't say much and walked directly forward.
The leader immediately ordered people to follow.
Yao Xiu and I followed behind Han Zizi.
As we reached the center of the village, an unexpected incident occurred.
Of course, if it were before, it would have been a dead end.
Twenty or so old women blocked the road.
To one side was the fork leading to the Ji Family Village mortuary.
The ghostly creatures with sheep faces and pig bodies were all menacing and fierce.
This time, the leader had prepared in advance. Every member of the lower nine gates had a piece of beech heart in their hands!
The lower nine gates had venomous techniques by nature. Combined with the things that suppressed the old women, within just ten minutes, there was a pile of corpses on the ground.
The leader regained some of his composure, appearing confident and self-assured.
The members of the lower nine gates also straightened up, holding their heads high.
Han Zizi walked straight to the fork and we followed behind once again.
Suddenly, Yao Xiu grabbed my cloak and turned her head to glance at the dead old women on the ground.
"Old women, eat corpses," she said, her voice hollow.
I was taken aback.
Yao Xiu must also know this.
Since her soul became more stable with the nourishment from Zhongshan's white glue, the sporadic words she uttered carried a substantial amount of information.
If her soul were stronger… perhaps she would remember more things?
I want to return the destiny to Lü Kan.
When Yao Xiu recovers and can act normally, it would be a happy ending for everyone.
In my thoughts, we had already reached the depths of the fork path.
Yao Xiu pulled me closer.
As we passed through the mortuary gate, and then the back gate, we reached the mountain where there used to be a graveyard of bodies and a forest of flesh.
However, the scene before me made my heart sink.
Because… the mountain had vanished…
The mountain, in fact, wasn't a mountain.
The formation of the graveyard of bodies and the forest of flesh was due to Wu Zhongbao bringing back a batch of special corpses that were integrated into these mountains and forests.
The mountain became a graveyard!
Graveyard of bodies and forest of flesh, it's equivalent to a mountain that comes alive, and the mountain is the big corpse!
Could the graveyard of bodies and forest of flesh have moved to another location?
"Are you sure, Xian Shen? The leader frowned and asked me. "
He had never been here before, so it was natural to be confused.
I shook my head, indicating that we hadn't made a wrong turn, but beads of sweat were forming on my forehead, and my gaze fell on Han Zizi.
"Master Han… can you discern the reason?"
Han Zizi squinted, but he didn't answer me. He was also showing signs of contemplation.
Bowing, I looked at the small night pot on my waist.
La Gong, who had acquired a chance, absorbed all the souls of Wu Zhongbao after that, and has not woken up since then. Just like the last time he ate human skin, he is still in a deep sleep.
If La Gong were awake, he would definitely notice something amiss.
Looking ahead, the graveyard of bodies and forest of flesh was gone, but in the distance, it seemed as if there was a depression!
In fact, the central part of the graveyard of bodies and forest of flesh is a depression. Inside one of the coffins is a large coffin, and that's where the heart is located!
Lifting my leg, I was about to walk towards the depression.
Yao Xiu suddenly pulled me with force, and she stood still in her place.
"Don't go..." The hollow voice echoed again in my ears.
"Graveyard of bodies and forest of flesh, under some special changes, can move. Perhaps it has reached the most ominous place in Qi Family Village," Han Zizi suddenly spoke.
The leader on the side nodded heavily, slightly uncomfortable, and said, "It can only be the mountain where Wu's estate is located. Previously, there was a retribution ghost blocking it. Now that the retribution ghost is somewhere in the village, if the graveyard of bodies and forest of flesh goes to that mountain... it will be really difficult to handle. The living corpse soul killer is still there."
The words of the three of them made my heart feel a bit chaotic.
"It's all right," Han Zizi shook his head, and then he said, "It's best to catch them all at once."
Turning around, he was about to walk back the way we came.
The leader and I nodded, indicating that we should leave.
Yao Xiu turned around and pulled my sleeve, wanting to walk forward.
But I always felt something was off...
For a while, I couldn't think of the reason.
After being pulled out two steps, when Han Zizi had walked out more than ten meters, I suddenly had an epiphany and realized the reason why things felt off!
Old women eat corpses!
Yao Xiu had said something like that out of nowhere earlier!
That's why, at the intersection, there were more than twenty old women, but they didn't enter this place.
A graveyard of bodies. Do they not want to eat?
Or is it because of some other reason?
I suddenly shook off Yao Xiu's hand, turned around, and ran as fast as I could towards the depression!
"Xian Shen!" The leader was surprised and shouted loudly at me.
Yao Xiu hurriedly chased after me. Her hollow face showed a trace of panic.
I glanced at them out of the corner of my eye, and my pace sped up even more!
A few minutes later, when I reached the front of the depression.
The scene before me made my heart skip a beat.
The depression, for the most part, was still indented.
But the middle had been filled in...
What filled the depression was not earth but rough, skinless flesh.
In the graveyard of bodies, it was this rough, scaleless dead person's skin, with pores as large as caves.
However, the skin was about the same as when we left, tightly constricted...
The central position was slightly indented, like a person's heart.
From a distance, one couldn't hear it, but up close, there was a faint thumping sound, as if it were the heartbeat.
Another sound of gulping and swallowing, like a pig eating slop.
My pupils constricted, and I turned my head abruptly.
The scene before me was two old women, more than twice the size of normal ones, about twenty meters away on the other side of the depression. They had their front legs apart and their heads buried in the flesh, vigorously gnawing!
Their sheep eyes were sharp and alert, constantly moving.
The next second, the two old women stopped eating and raised their heads abruptly, staring at me blankly.
Their gaze was like looking at a piece of meat!
