I nodded, also expressed my intention, Hua Yun just slightly breath, a smile appears on the face.
Due to the half-foot copper sword, Lu You's soul couldn't emerge.
"Cut the grass to the root, and not leave a single soul behind. Draw your sword, and I'll be ready."
Huā Yíng's face was serious, and she spoke again.
I held my breath and concentrated, trying to pull out the copper sword on Lu You's waist. The next moment, an even greater number of Dushi mice emerged from Huā Yíng's shadow, nearly doubling in quantity, and they frantically attacked Lu You's corpse.
The soul was forcibly pulled out, and after a loud scream, Lu You was left with only an empty corpse.
Huā Yíng and I finally let out a breath of relief.
As for the disposal of the corpse, it will be much more troublesome.
Huā Yíng first used the Dushi mice to dig a hole in the ground, which is at least four or five meters deep.
Of course, the hole isn't large, just enough to fit three bodies standing up.
I had originally intended to count their belongings to see if there was anything valuable, but Huā Yíng stopped me. She meant that we would be staying near the Chi Gui village for a while, so it was best not to touch their things. They were a hot potato; who knew if there were any marks on them?
Lao Gong suddenly popped out of her night jar at her waist and corrected, "Xiu Xiu Village, it is Xiu Xiu Village."
Huā Yíng: "…Mm…"
Finally, the three bodies were all buried, and the traces of the fight in the area weren't numerous. They were quickly cleaned up as well.
I couldn't help but think of the land Qi and plague demons, slightly sighing in my heart.
Setting aside the plague demons' desire to eat me, the land Qi always cleaned up the traces after every chaotic battle.
Now having to do it ourselves is indeed quite troublesome.
Time flies, and it's already midnight.
Huā Yíng turned her head to look at me, with a few more unusual joy in her eyes.
"Huā Yíng smiled, "It's much more powerful than the Thunder Techniques of other Daoists and looks much better."
I smiled back.
"Night falls, wind howls… killed someone… and a couple still show off…"
"Women ghosts can't even be left behind, I don't suffer, I'm destined to suffer." Lao Gong sighed again.
I: "…"
...
Walking out from the dilapidated construction site, we quickly arrived at the front of the gate.
Outside the small door, there was already standing Li Tong's body. His eyes were wide open, still showing the look of a soul refusing to die.
However, the resentment on his body had slightly diminished.
"Thank you..." The faint voice reached my ears.
Huā Yíng pursed her lips slightly, her eyes showing a hint of reluctance, and then looked at me again, as if hesitating.
I remained silent for two seconds before saying, "I'm sorry."
Li Tong forced a smile with his lips, but the rigor mortis of his body made the grin more grotesque than a cry.
"Doing good deeds, it's not wrong to die, but constantly fighting ghosts, when one becomes a ghost oneself, the next life will have inspiration."
Li Tong's tone became slightly smoother, and he said, "I'm planning to find some friends to shoot with, um... should someone come and take me away, right? Yin Chi?"
Clearly, Li Tong's understanding of the afterlife was that it involved yin officials collecting souls.
However, in fact, the collection of souls by yin officials is only for those who should go but don't. Zombie Li Tong, who tricks the living by pretending to be dead, will not be attended to by yin officials. Either he will encounter Fan Jie, Ghost Canon, Tian Shou Daoan, or those in the lower nine levels like gentlemen and masters who will restrain and suppress them.
The undead who died in vain will not be reborn.
Huā Yíng's hesitant gaze said it all.
She knows the outcome.
Li Tong saw what we had done and couldn't stay.
"Li Tong, do you have any last wishes?" Huā Yíng suddenly bit her lip and whispered softly. Her tone was filled with regret.
"Last wishes..." Li Tong was momentarily stunned.
I closed my eyes slightly, but raised my hand, and with my index finger, I bit down on my lips, piercing them and then quickly touching them to Li Tong's chest!
As I opened my eyes and looked at Li Tong, his eyes were surprised and confused.
Huā Yíng's regret in her eyes was more intense, and she slightly bit her lips, as if holding back tears.
"Wait, he hasn't said anything yet..."
I didn't pay attention to Huā Yíng and opened my mouth with a deep voice, saying one word at a time: "Taiyang Shengming, mercy for your sole soul, all ghosts and demons, four lives are blessed! Those with heads are elevated, those without heads are born. Guns and swords, drowning or hanging... merciful rescue for all! Hurry up and be reborn!"
Blood-colored characters appeared on Li Tong's chest, gradually turning white. White mist began to seep out incessantly, as if enveloping his body.
Huā Yíng widened her eyes, staring at this scene with astonishment and shock.
My spirit was slightly listless, and I felt dizzy with waves of faintness.
It was the first time in practical use, and I used quite a few Daoist spells. This "Sheng Sheng" spell was the only one I learned in the recent period.
I actually wasn't sure if I could use it.
Now that it worked on Li Tong, although there are still many details to refine, it has already drained me.
"I'm sorry," I said as my hand dropped.
"It seems... a bit warm... seems like, as close to alive as it can be..."
"Hmm... seems like there isn't much time left..."
Although Li Tong was still confused, he seemed to understand a lot more.
"I... I still have a mother. She has worked hard her whole life, thinking that once I graduate, I should find a good job, not hang out with these useless friends who are always talking big and acting like ghosts..."
"My mother... she doesn't know that, working hard her whole life, working tirelessly. After working so hard for a long time, you will find that there is a lifetime of hard work ahead."
"I want to go viral..."
"Being filmed would be enough..."
A heavy thud as Li Tong's body fell backward, hitting the ground with a thud, like a mass of dead flesh.
Standing quietly at the original location is a soul.
The souls that have been used with the "Sheng Sheng" spell are different from those I've seen before. They are filled with white radiance.
At the far end of my vision, there also seems to be a beam of white light, shining in response.
"If it's not too much trouble... give her a little money... I have nothing to repay her with..."
As he tried to bow, his soul dissipated into tiny white light points before he even hit the ground, dispersing in all directions like fireflies, swarming towards the beam of light at the far end.
The body we need to dispose of has increased by one more.
Although Li Tong's body should be returned to his mother, the consequences are too many, and too many things would be revealed.
Therefore, we can only bury Li Tong underground in the construction site as well.
After all of these things were done, a hint of dawn appeared in the sky.
We drove back to the courtyard where we stayed in town.
I felt a complex mix of emotions, and Huā Yíng was similarly unable to calm down for a long time.
"This place is not suitable to stay long, I don't have much money on me."
"I have it. I'll go get some money. You pack up your things first, and when I come back, we'll go deliver the money together. After we're done, I'll pack up too, and we'll move somewhere else." Huā Yíng wiped the corners of her eyes and took a deep breath, not letting any tears fall.
Turning around, Huā Yíng left the courtyard.
I really don't have much to pack; a few sets of clothes, which I can buy again later. The only thing I can't do without is the backpack I always carry, and the books are always with me.
Standing alone in the courtyard, I took out a half-foot copper sword.
I had kept the Siji Mingjing that was given to Huā Yíng because some Daoist spells require the use of a sword.
