Corpse Transformation Curse
Chapter 150 Corpse Transformation Curse
"This is the first time I've ever seen such a large talisman, and the first time I've ever seen a talisman on a coffin."
After looking at it for a while, Zhong Cai told us the name of the talisman: the Corpse Dissolving Curse!
"It's not about melting the corpse, but about dissolving and removing the corpse's 'qi' (vital energy) from it."
"After learning about the effects of this talisman, we were all puzzled."
"If the entire village is raising corpses, why use a corpse-dissolving spell to dissolve the corpse's aura?"
"We can't understand it, but we know one thing."
"Someone must have set up a trap in this village. Whatever they want to do, we just need to thwart it!"
"So, Qi Ning took out a dagger and, as Zhong Cai had instructed, destroyed some key parts of the talisman. Then, we placed the coffin on the ground."
"As for the other coffins, we did the same thing, even though there were no bodies inside."
"After destroying the coffin, Zhong Cai decided to dispose of the corpse because of the limited number of spirit-suppressing talismans."
"It was I who made the move. I took my Seven Star Peach Wood Sword and plunged it into the corpse."
"After the sword entered the corpse, the corpse began to tremble, and streams of black energy burst out from the corpse's eyes, ears, nose and mouth. I thought this corpse would be burned to ashes like the jumping zombie in the funeral home's cold storage, but it wasn't."
Zhong Cai explained that the zombie's body did not contain much corpse energy, so it could not be burned like a piece of firewood.
"After dealing with this zombie, we changed our plans again."
"Because that would be too time-consuming, we plan to deal with all the zombies in the houses where people live first, and then destroy the coffins."
"Otherwise, before we can destroy all the coffins, the remaining zombies might have already arrived and started cooking."
"Just as we finished our discussion and were preparing to move on to the next step, Qi Ning, who opened the door, froze in shock."
"I sensed malice, turned my head, and saw several pairs of eerie green eyes peering into the room from the window beside me, perched on the windowsill!"
"Qi Ning is yelling for us to retreat, but where can we retreat to?"
"As we headed upstairs, preparing to hold our ground against the zombies, I opened the door and saw the zombie that had just climbed in through the back window."
"The window eventually became a door."
"We are dead."
……
Let out a breath slowly.
Chen Miao was not surprised by this outcome.
If rescuing Zhong Cai could solve this problem, then Zhong Cai wouldn't need them to rescue him.
To resolve the issues in Fengmen Village, or to leave, it's impossible to rely on any one person alone.
What Chen Miao had to do was to use the information he knew in advance to maximize the strength of the three people!
Chen Miao gained a lot of information from this content.
First, the locust tree cannot be destroyed directly, otherwise it will trigger a zombie siege.
There is another hidden point in this information: the Three Scholar Trees Gathering Yin Formation did not fail to function, but rather concealed the gathered Yin energy.
As for how to hide it, that's another question.
2. The Corpse-Dissolving Curse at the Bottom of the Coffin.
Why is a corpse-dissolving incantation carved on the bottom of the coffin?
That's one question. Another question is, did they attract other zombies after they damaged the bottom of the coffin, or did they attract other zombies after they killed that one?
This is a very important question, but it's not apparent from the book at all.
Chen Miao, of course, couldn't try it in reality, so he had to stop the two from damaging the corpse and the bottom of the coffin.
Third, a coffin-like corpse! Why would someone with the skill of sewing corpses appear here?
Could it be that the person who orchestrated all of this not only knows feng shui, raising corpses, and controlling ghosts, but also possesses the skills of a corpse-stitching master?
If that's the case, then this person is terrifying.
Most importantly, this custom in Fengmen Village seems to have started after that migration.
That migration happened fifty years ago, which means that this situation may have existed for fifty years.
The more Chen Miao thought about it, the more desperate he felt about this situation.
With a sigh, Chen Miao processed his emotions and began to think about what to do next.
Time flies and the night passes in silence.
The next day, Zhong Cai's condition improved significantly, and he was able to get out of bed and walk.
But it will take at least a few more days to return to normal.
This was also the third day since Chen Miao and Qi Ning arrived here.
After Zhong Cai told Chen Miao and the other person what had happened to him, Qi Ning was shocked!
He immediately prepared to leave Fengmen Village to contact people from higher up.
Chen Miao did not stop him, and a hint of expectation appeared in Zhong Cai's eyes.
Zhong Cai's reason for his expectation was simple: of the three young people who came here before, one of them had a problem, but he was still able to be taken away from here.
If the ghost that blinded him when he left the village only blinded him, could Chen Miao and Qi Ning take him away from here?
The three of them quickly arrived at the village entrance, grabbed each other's arms, and stepped out of the village.
Not long after, the three of them fell silent as they looked at Fengmen Village, which had reappeared before them.
Zhong Cai's silence was one of shattered hope, Qi Ning's silence was one of being in trouble, while Chen Miao was deep in thought.
Why were they blinded by a ghost when they left the village, even though they hadn't broken any taboos?
Because of the book, Chen Miao had prevented him and Qi Ning from committing any taboos, but it seems that they still broke them!
Are there other taboos that they are unaware of?
For example, regarding that locust tree? Is it forbidden to enter that locust tree?
"Only Qi Ning can get in, so why can't I get out?"
Suddenly, Chen Miao turned his gaze to Zhong Cai.
Thinking about what Zhong Cai had done, an idea suddenly popped into Chen Miao's mind.
Has Zhong Cai become a taboo in Fengmen Village?
Is contacting Zhong Cai a violation of the taboos of Fengmen Village?
If that's the case, then everything seems to make sense.
However, Chen Miao had no way to verify his guess.
With no way out, the three of them focused their efforts on exploring Fengmen Village.
When they arrived at the location of the other two large locust trees, Chen Miao suddenly thought of something and asked Qi Ning to check the heartwood of the two large locust trees again.
Within the tree's heart, Qi Ning saw many skeletons.
Among them was a body that had just died not long ago.
It was the young man that Zhong Cai had originally come to find.
Thus, the three of them knew where the skeletons inside the tree came from.
Are those who break the taboos of Fengmen Village destined to end up in the heart of a locust tree?
Could they be the same?
After thinking about it, Chen Miao felt that the daytime hours shouldn't be wasted like this.
So, when the three of them entered an empty house, Chen Miao suggested checking the coffin!
Under Chen Miao's deliberate guidance, the corpse-dissolving curse at the bottom of the coffin was discovered ahead of schedule!
