When we saw these wandering souls, Eldest Senior Brother and I were so scared that we sucked in a breath of cold air and immediately didn't dare to continue walking forward.
Amongst this group of wandering souls, there was a familiar figure wearing a eunuch uniform. Isn't that the person we met last night at the abandoned construction site?
For a moment, I couldn't remember what the kid's surname was. In my memory, it was either Liu or Zhang.
It was this young eunuch who blocked my way. There were twenty to thirty wandering souls kneeling on both sides of him in the tomb chamber. He felt that the howls were like those of a high and mighty emperor. These wild souls were his subjects.
That night, I let the Demon Devour devour a ghost among them. It seems to be an important character, and the moment I saw this little eunuch with red eyes appear, I knew that things were not going well.
The red-eyed eunuch knelt on the ground and shouted at Mao, "Eunuch Li …" This subordinate did not succeed. Last night, I went out to gather the souls of Luo Yuan's dead body, and just as I was about to get the souls, I was stopped by these two repulsive Taoists. Even Little Zhang was devoured by one of their evil spirits.
The furry howl came from behind her for a while, then she chuckled and said, "Didn't you two kids say that your family built a house and accidentally dropped this place? It appeared here last night. It seems like you guys have already planned this a long time ago.
Eldest Senior Brother's and I's hearts were pounding and we were close to our throats. I saw that Eldest Senior Brother was sweating profusely.
"Senior Li, don't listen to that brat's nonsense. Last night, we appeared on the stage, and we did not intend to go against you, but they killed a few of our friends, and they thought that there was some kind of wandering ghost that would come out of nowhere to kill us, so they took care of it. It should be known that under Senior Li's command, even if you gave me eight guts, I wouldn't dare to do it."
That furry roar sneered slightly. It was terrifying enough to reveal such a smile on its lion-like face.
Soon after, Mao Hou continued, "Since you've come here and are fated with this family, how about this family bestowing you with an opportunity?"
Damn, it can't be. Not only did he not kill us, he even wanted to give us benefits. Wasn't this a beautiful thing that fell from the sky?
Was there something wrong with this furry roar?
The Eldest Senior Brother rolled his eyes, cupped his hands, and said, "Senior Li, if you have something to say, please be direct. As long as it is something that we two brothers can do, we will definitely do it for you."
"That's right, I really like you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said that I would give you guys a great opportunity." Mao Hou nodded and said.
The Eldest Senior Brother hesitated for a while and then chuckled. He carefully asked, "May I know what sort of opportunity Senior Li is giving us brothers?"
Mao Hou's yellow hair trembled, and he chuckled, "A few hundred years ago, I was studying under the tutelage of an old Daoist, and he taught me a book called the Secret Yin Corpse Refining Technique. As long as I practice this technique, I can live forever. But if you want to live forever, then you have to pay a price, every 50 years, devour the souls of 749 people, then you have to advance. Before I leave, I trained myself to become a red devil, and now, after hundreds of years, I have trained to become a demon corpse, and after 100 years, I can leave this tomb and become a human again, and at that time, I only need to drink the blood of 2 people every day, and I can live forever, just like a normal person.
Hearing the words of this old demon, Eldest Martial Brother and I looked at each other in dismay.
He said he wanted us to stay, but it was a dead end. After killing us, he wanted us to imprison our souls and help it kill people, and then capture the souls of those people that died, so that this old monster could devour them. He said he wanted us to stay, in fact, it was a dead end, and after killing us, he wanted us to imprison our souls and help it kill people.
Although this old monster has already cultivated to a furry roar, it is still an evil being and cannot be exposed to the light. It might not even dare to go out at night to commit murder, so it sent its subordinates to kill it, bringing its life soul over. Currently, it may be that it despised its current work as a small fry and is not as quick-witted as my senior, so it wants someone else to help it.
How was this possible?
Even if this old demon taught us that "Dark Yin Corpse Refining Art", the Eldest Senior Brother and I probably wouldn't be as patient as this old eunuch. Waiting in this underground palace for hundreds of years and killing countless people for our own cultivation, neither of us could do something so wicked as this.
Furthermore, after using us, this old demon might just swallow us whole. Who are we to seek justice with?
No wonder the old professor at the school said that there was only one person dying in this place every year, and several people had already died a day earlier. It turned out that there was such a thing sealed underneath this place.
The reason why the temple was built on top of the tomb was because it was able to use the righteous Qi of the Three Purities Ancestral Master statue to suppress the evil Qi below. Perhaps it was because the old demon was growing more and more in terms of cultivation, but the righteous Qi from the temple could no longer intimidate the things below, so all the people in the temple moved out to descend into the tomb.
In that era, most of the people who went to school were men, and tens of thousands of men lived in this place. It could be said that the yang energy was very plentiful, but even so, that old monster was still able to send out subordinates to harvest a person's life every year and bring a living soul down for it to devour. Until the recent few decades, this curse was unable to be dispelled.
