Living Funeral
At this point, the Taoist was truly my last lifeline. If he didn’t step in to save me now, I was definitely done for.
Because in the next moment, the female corpse's tongue was almost licking my lips. Damn it, was her tongue really that long? Instantly, my heart sank, and I tightly shut my mouth, not even daring to open my eyes.
I was holding on to my last line of defense.
But what I didn’t expect was that the female corpse's tongue seemed to be frozen stiff as it pried open my lips.
Damn it, I had intended to use my hands to stop her, but a wooden stick protruding from the coffin blocked me completely, leaving me unable to move an inch.
The moment her tongue entered my mouth, I truly felt an overwhelming urge to die…
Damn…
I still hadn’t opened my eyes; I didn’t even know if the Taoist had appeared.
I thought that if her tongue came in just a little further, I would bite it off. That was the plan I had in mind, but I quickly realized I was wrong. As her tongue slid into my mouth, I instantly lost all strength.
I couldn’t resist at all.
I felt weak and limp, lacking even the energy to spit her out, as if I had become a fish out of water. After a few futile struggles, I finally could no longer move.
I thought to myself, why wasn’t the Taoist stepping in to save me? Damn it.
The voice of Ghost Old Three came through, saying, "A-Hua, after today, you will finally be able to awaken." There was an indescribable excitement in his tone.
I thought to myself that if the Taoist didn't save me, I was doomed.
I wanted to open my eyes for one last look at this world, but just as I was about to do so, I heard the Taoist shout, "Break the Yin and Yang... No ghost shall remain, Ghost-Exorcising Command." As soon as he finished speaking, the female corpse's tongue retracted instantly.
The next moment, a piercing scream echoed through the air.
"Scatter the soul, Yang Qi enter the body." The Taoist's hands quickly moved from my face down to my chin, as if he were writing something at a rapid pace.
At that moment, Ghost Old Three reacted and shouted, "Stop it!"
But he was a step too late; the Taoist had already completed the final procedure. Slowly, I felt warmth returning to my body while the female corpse continued to scream, sending chills down my spine.
However, I took this opportunity to bite my tongue and continued to hold onto the Tongue Blood, thinking that this should be safer.
Ghost Old Three was genuinely anxious now, calling out A-Hua's name and hurriedly asking her if she was okay.
Then I heard a faint "rumble" from inside the coffin. I knew that the wooden stick that had been blocking it had disappeared. Ghost Old Three threatened me, saying, "Brat, if anything happens to A-Hua, you can wait to be buried alongside her."
After saying this, Ghost Old Three pulled me aside and then scooped up the female corpse before running off somewhere.
My body was warming up again, and my strength was gradually returning.
Once Ghost Old Three had carried the female corpse a little farther away, the area became somewhat quiet.
After a while, I asked, "Daoist, can I get up now?"
The Daoist replied, "Wait a moment. I will lock your Yang Qi and the female corpse's Yin Qi first, then you can come out."
Although I didn't fully understand what White Path meant by that, in this situation, I had completely trusted the Daoist. He began to chant a spell and then shouted, "Seal Yin and Secure Yang."
As those four words fell, I felt a rush of energy flowing into my body. It felt strange at first, but once that energy returned to me, I felt much more comfortable.
Then the Daoist said to me, "You can open your eyes now."
Upon hearing this, I immediately opened my eyes. At that moment, I felt strong enough to vomit and began to retch uncontrollably onto the ground!
The Daoist watched me closely and then said, "Hurry and wake him up! There are still matters to resolve; we can't let the female corpse escape or it will lead to endless troubles."
Hearing the Daoist made me anxious as well. I pushed Gao Ling and shouted loudly, but it was no use. Finally, I poured a scoop of cold water on Gao Ling's face, and he finally woke up. Once awake, Gao Ling cursed, "Damn Ghost Old Three! I'll screw your ancestors!"
Once Gao Ling saw clearly, he asked, "Fei, what happened?"
I told Gao Ling, "There's no time! Ghost Old Three has run off with the female corpse; we need to kill her this time."
Gao Ling quickly got up from the ground and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's chase after them!"
The Taoist told me that there was a "gathering place of yin" nearby, and they must have headed in that direction. By the way, Chen Fei, mix your blood with the vermilion; we will use it to disperse the corpse's aura later.
The Taoist had become my anchor; whatever he said was what I would follow.
I instructed Gao Ling to take out the vermilion, then went to Ghost Old Three's house to grab a bowl. Soon, my blood was mixed with the vermilion, releasing a strange odor into the air.
In front of me, the Taoist performed a series of hand gestures and asked if I understood. I nodded in response.
The Taoist said, "Now, follow me."
Gao Ling looked at me, unsure of what I was discussing with the Taoist, and urged, "Fei, hurry up! Otherwise, Ghost Old Three will escape!"
I nodded again.
At this moment, the Taoist started running ahead. In this village within the city, there were still some fields and mountains that had not been developed. Following him, we quickly found ourselves in the fields.
Gao Ling asked me what had just happened.
I told her to wait until later to ask; we needed to resolve this matter first. Gao Ling agreed, determined that Ghost Old Three would pay for his actions this time.
Above us hung a crescent moon, its light cascading down from the sky, illuminating the area and making it less dark.
The Taoist urged me to hurry; otherwise, it would be too late.
We quickly climbed up a dirt slope, and as we reached the top, a different scene unfolded before us. The surroundings were high, while the center was low. Ghost Old Three was laying a female corpse on a piece of black cloth.
"Ah-Hua, you have to hold on!" Ghost Old Three shouted. "You must not let anything happen to you!"
Damn, this old pervert.
Gao Ling said, "Let's go! Fly!"
I was waiting for the Taoist to make a decision. At that moment, Ghost Old Three was inserting incense while calling out Ah-Hua's name in a wavering voice. The Taoist instructed, "He is summoning the soul; quickly wipe off the soul-restraining talisman on your back."
In a panic, I responded and quickly lifted my shirt. I asked Gao Ling to help me wipe off the soul-restraining talisman on my back, and Gao Ling promptly did as I asked.
Gao Ling used saliva to wipe it off, but at that moment, there was no time to worry about that.
Soon, the incense was set up. Finally, Ghost Old Three inserted a soul-summoning flag. The banner fluttered without wind, and Ghost Old Three's calls for Ah-Hua grew increasingly urgent.
The wind picked up as well, and I genuinely feared something would go wrong. I turned to the Taoist and asked, "Is it ready?"
The Taoist remained silent, but Gao Ling quickly said to me, "Fly, I think we can't wait any longer."
I continued to wait for the Taoist. The chilling gusts of wind made my heart feel cold! At the same time, I was afraid that the female corpse might "come back to life" or that some other mishap would occur; that would surely lead to trouble.
The Taoist squinted his eyes as he observed. After exhaling a mouthful of foul air, he said, "Let's do it! Remember to turn the bowl of cinnabar blood upside down directly on the corpse's face."
I was doing well.
I briefly discussed the plan with Gao Ling.
Gao Ling had no objections. After we finalized our strategy, I moved in. As I approached, Gao Ling suddenly shouted, "Ghost Old Three, you bastard!" This loud shout caught Ghost Old Three off guard for a few seconds.
In those few seconds, Gao Ling dashed forward and collided directly with Ghost Old Three, sending him sprawling backward.
Seizing the moment, I rushed forward, ready to pour the blood bowl over the female corpse's face.
But just then, an itch in my throat made me cough up blood. Ghost Old Three's voice rang out as he yelled, "I dare you! You little bastard, do you want to die?"
The Taoist instructed, "Don't stop."
I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth and hesitated no longer. I flipped the Vermilion Blood Bowl upside down onto the female corpse's face. Instantly, she began to convulse violently and then spat out black substances. I quickly stepped back.
The female corpse emitted a series of strange sounds: "Gak... gak... gak..." The eerie noise sent chills down my spine.
Upon hearing this, Ghost Old Three shoved Gao Ling aside. Gao Ling, who was already slender, was knocked to the ground by Ghost Old Three's forceful push. However, Ghost Old Three didn't care about Gao Ling anymore; he quickly turned and ran towards me.
The Taoist called out to me, urging me to retreat.
I ran towards Gao Ling, and we both backed away a bit but didn't completely escape. Ghost Old Three held A-Hua tightly and exclaimed, "A-Hua, you must not die!"
"Damn it, how can someone who's already dead, Ghost Old Three, still say not to die? It seems like Ghost Old Three has some serious mental issues. If there’s nothing wrong with his mind, why would he 'violate a corpse' and treat a dead body as if it were alive?"
I asked the Taoist, "What should we do next?"
The Taoist replied, "Just observe the changes."
At this moment, it was already two in the morning, and the moon appeared cold and distant. Gao Ling said, "Fei, Ghost Old Three might retaliate against us soon!"
But just then, an unexpected event occurred; we suddenly heard a piercing scream from Ghost Old Three.
Gao Ling and I exchanged glances. "What’s going on?" Gao Ling asked.
I was just as eager to find out what was happening.
The atmosphere grew tense again. Gao Ling went over to take a look. I glanced at the Taoist, who nodded in agreement. Soon, both Gao Ling and I moved closer. However, it was better not to look; once we did, our hearts sank…
