Chapter 9: Subjugating the Female Corpse

  Wang Qi drank a lot and for a moment forgot about the matter of exorcising the demon. When Xuan Kong mentioned it, he was suddenly frightened and his face turned white.

  He hastily grabbed Xuan Kong and trembled with his voice: "Big brother, what should we do?"

  Xuan Kong blew out the dim and weak oil lamp on the table with one breath, lay down on the couch and looked at Er Lang's legs, saying lightly: "Now? It's almost midnight, what are you doing not sleeping?" He was actually bad, scaring Wang Qi awake from his drunkenness, while he himself started snoring as soon as he lay down.

  Wang Qi stuck closely to Xuan Kong's side, not daring to move a muscle. How could he possibly fall asleep?

  The house that Xuan Kong casually picked was also a matter of luck. Through the window lattice, you could see the hearse parked across the street, and faintly make out the corpse covered with a paper quilt under the carriage canopy.

  Nor did he know if the female corpse had "come back to life" or not, but Wang Qi didn't dare to go over and take a closer look himself. His mind was filled with wild thoughts, and he couldn't help but feel a hint of fear. He hated himself for not drinking more of his senior brother's fine wine earlier; if only he could sleep through this, how wonderful would that be?

  It's not that I couldn't fall asleep, after all, I had a few more drinks and was still on guard against the female corpse. Before long, I was extremely sleepy.

  Listening to Xuan Kong's breathing getting heavier and heavier, until he was snoring. Wang Qi sighed in his heart, and could only pinch the tender flesh of his thighs one by one, not daring to fall asleep. Just as he was dozing off, he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the opposite side of the house.

  Wang Qi tightly closed his mouth and secretly prayed in his heart.

  As he opened his eyes and looked over, he saw that the female corpse had actually stood up straight from the carriage, pushed open the curtain and hopped towards the wooden house where they slept. The wooden door creaked as it was pushed open from the outside.

  The female corpse jumped all the way to the bed, calling out "good fortune" in her heart, Heaven sent two robust men to serve herself.

  Once I've absorbed the yang energy of these two people, I won't be far from reaching the boundary where yin and yang are balanced and the Elixir of Life is generated.

  Her body bent down, in front of Xuan Kong sniffed a sniff, just met Xuan Kong belched, a burst of alcohol mixed with garlic flavor almost didn't suffocate the female corpse. "This guy is really too smelly!" The female corpse cursed in her heart and turned to move towards Wang Qi's face.

  Wang Qi also cursed in his heart, if he had known earlier, he wouldn't have insisted on following Big Brother down the mountain.

  The master brother is also fierce and has a leg with the female ghost.

  He was half numb and half awake, watching the female corpse on Xu Kong's body pause for a moment before moving towards his own face. Seeing that it would soon be his turn, Wang Qi's back had already broken out in cold sweat, and he involuntarily held his breath and squeezed his head closer to Xu Kong's side.

  Wang Qi kicked Xuan Kong with his foot while praying, but unfortunately, Xuan Kong was sleeping too soundly and didn't even grunt.

  It's just raising the volume of the humming sound by a few pitches.

  The internal horror was accumulating and unbearable, hands and feet had already started to tremble slightly. The female corpse's red lips were about to be pressed onto Wang Qi's mouth. How did he know the female corpse's lips were red? It was simple, because Wang Qi was so scared that he jumped up from the bed board.

  He faced the female corpse and begged: "Please, I beg of you, my senior brother is better at eating than me..."

  The woman's corpse, originally pale, turned a few shades whiter, as if startled by Wang Qi's "play dead". Wang Qi let out an angry roar: "If I don't die, you won't live! Let's fight to the death!" As he shouted this slogan, Wang Qi's body began to shrink into the ground.

  He originally thought that what Lao Daozhang said, practicing the wall-penetrating technique to perfection would allow him to turn it into an earth-escape technique, was just a way of deceiving himself.

  Now anxious, unexpectedly really made out.

  He dug his head into the ground at once.

  The female corpse was stunned, suddenly ignited with surprise, and stretched out her hand to grab the bed board. Fortunately, Wang Qi had not been lazy in his usual practice and had accumulated some true power, which he focused on the art of escape. With a shrinking movement, he escaped from beside the female corpse.

  The female corpse let out a loud wail and her hands stabbed into the ground like iron knives.

  Wang Qida's diving skills were too shallow. Firstly, he couldn't dive deep into the earth, and secondly, he had to lift his head out of the water every now and then to catch a breath.

  The female corpse's fingernails poked out, and his head would shrink down a little. When the female corpse withdrew her hand, she would stick her head out again to take a breath. The female corpse made a move, Wang Qi would shrink his head, the female corpse would withdraw her hand, and Wang Qi would gasp for air, playing back and forth like a game of whack-a-mole for a while.

  The standoff continued, with both sides exhausted. The female corpse finally couldn't hold back its anger and stretched out its arms across the mud to cast a spell.

  Wang Qi stared blankly at the yellowish spiritual light gathering on the female corpse's fingertips. Although he didn't know what kind of magic this was, he knew for sure that he would definitely die this time and was so scared that he almost fainted. However, after closing his eyes and waiting for half a day, Wang Qi still didn't feel any pain anywhere on his body.

  When he opened his eyes again, Xuan Kong, who was originally sleeping comfortably on the bed, found that his hand had been stuck between the female corpse's arms.

  A mysterious symbol was stuck on the female corpse's forehead, rendering her immobile. She was surprisingly subdued by Xuan Kong and stood there stiffly.

  He had actually been awake for a long time, or rather, he was just pretending to sleep. When the female corpse came over, Wang Qi's reaction was too intense, which made him think of watching a show, until the female corpse was about to launch its ultimate move, and then he took action to restrain it.

  Wang Qi wiped away a cold sweat and bitterly smiled to himself: "Next time, I'll never again go out with Big Brother Master to seek death. What kind of logic is it to put oneself right in front of zombies to sleep?"

  Xuan Kong subdued the female corpse as soon as he made his move, and Wang Qi just crawled out of the ground. Xuan Kong couldn't help but tease: "Dust yourself off, you're covered in mud. Be careful that Second Brother won't let you back into the mountain." In the Luoshan Sect, Xuan Kong had always been indifferent to worldly affairs, and all the rules were controlled by Second Brother.

  Coincidentally, Second Master is a cleanliness freak. He can't do anything about Xuan Kong's slovenly habits, but cleaning up the newly joined Wang Qi is a piece of cake.

  Wang Qi rushed up: "Luckily Eldest Brother saved me, otherwise I would have been done for tonight!"

  Xuan Kong didn't have the nerve to tell him that he was addicted to playing Whac-A-Mole and couldn't bear to leave. With a hint of apology, he patted Wang Qi's shoulder: "Come to the back mountain often in the future, Brother will teach you some fun tricks."

  Wang Qi was overjoyed in his heart, and only then did he realize that the Xuan Kong Dao Fa was profound. He said it was a fun trick, and it definitely wasn't some kind of mainland goods like a large stone that could shatter one's chest.

  Leaving home for thousands of miles, isn't it just to learn a skill?

  Xuan Kong pointed at the female corpse and said, "You go and tear off the talisman on her head."

  Wang Qi was stunned. The female corpse, who had finally been subdued with great difficulty, how could she be let go so easily? Xuan Kong explained: "I see her behavior, and it's just for the male's yang energy. Although I haven't seen the corpses of those who were sucked dry by her before, I estimate that there is still a chance to save them."

  Xuán Kōng's grasp came from the "Líng Bǎo Dù Rén Jīng" in his arms, and the hunters in this village were originally ghosts who died prematurely. They had lost their yang energy, so they had to transform into lonely souls and wild ghosts. Calculating the time, they should not have been taken away by the soul summoner to the Yellow Springs yet.

  So, as long as they can find their way back to the sun, Xuan Kong also wants to try and see what it's like to save a life that surpasses building a seven-story pagoda.
