Chapter 58 Corpse Transformation
  Judging from the meaning of this painting, it should be that a person met a god by the river, and the god seemed to give something to that person.

Wang Shen looked at it carefully.

"This is? A river patrol envoy!?"

The god in the river gave the man something very much like a token. Wang Shen immediately thought of the token in his hand with the word "Xunjiang" engraved on it.

"Is there any connection between the man in the tomb and the river patrol envoy?"

Wang Shen then thought of the remaining stone statues he saw in the Hebo Temple outside Wuyang County. Among them was a river patrol envoy wearing human boots.

He looked at the painting again. There was a mountain behind the river in the painting. The mountain was like a dragon's spine, and there was a small pavilion halfway up the mountain.

There are a few lines of poetry on the upper right side of the painting, which generally mean that in the autumn of a certain year, I met the river god and gave him a treasure.

"He Bo, river patrol envoy? What a coincidence!" Wang Shen looked at the painting in his hand.

In Wuyang County, in a manor outside the city, Lei Liang, the leader of the Qinghe Gang, drank tea with the man who was hiding in a cloak all day long.

"Sir, how long do I have to wait?"

"At least two years."

"Why does it take so long? Haven't we already found the two people who can help me?"

"They need time to grow. Now that the gang leader has taken control of Wuyang, Lan and two counties, this has reached the limit of the gang leader's fate. Whether he can break the fate and go further depends on whether the gang leader can win another city.

I wonder which city the gang leader will plan next? "

After hearing this, Lei Liang turned to look at the map hanging on the wall and pointed at a city above.

"Ninglong Mansion?" The man hidden in the cloak sounded obviously surprised.

But he saw Lei Liang smile, his fingers crossed diagonally across that city, and stopped on another city.

"Moon Lake?"

"Two years ago, I sent people to this city to inquire about information. There are no decent gangs in this city. There is only a Songfeng Temple on the mountain outside the city. There are more than thirty Taoist priests inside, who know some kung fu. Easy to deal with.”

"That being the case, let's decide on Yuehu County. I wonder if Songfeng Temple will accept disciples?"

"Come on, every three years, talented young people are selected as disciples. This year happens to be the three-year period." Lei Liang said.

"Can the gang leader arrange for the disciples to go in?"

Lei Liang nodded silently after hearing this.

Five days later, in the mountains and forests outside Lanhe County, the two tomb robbers came again.

"Brother, has the robber's cave collapsed?" The tall and strong young man looked at the collapsed robber's cave and was slightly startled.

The short and thin man on the side was looking at a pile of ashes left by the burning. There was no such pair of ashes when they left last time. It was obvious that someone had been here.

"That guy kept trying to persuade him, something happened!" He stared at the cave that collapsed.

"Brother, do we still want to go in?"

"Come in, there are a lot of treasures inside!" the short and thin man said decisively. Just like last time, he took out four sticks of incense and lit them around the tomb. Then he lit a pile of incense not far outside the thief's cave. bonfire.

Then he took out a pair of strange gloves from the package he carried with him, tied a rope around his waist, tied another section to the tree, and started digging down the original hole.

His digging process was very smooth, and he quickly found the original hole.

Wang Shen, who was hiding in a tree not far away, felt something was not right. “Where’s the body?”

He remembered that the body he stuffed into the robbery hole was not very deep. Logically speaking, the body should have been discovered by now. There was a body blocking the robbery hole, so the body should be taken out. Could it be? Did you push it all the way?

Wang Shen felt that something was not right, so he flashed out of the way, causing the tree to sway, and then he moved to a tree closer.

A squeaking, sharp whistle came out from inside.

The tall and strong young man waiting outside changed his face after hearing this. He hurriedly grabbed the rope and dragged it outwards hard.

Ah, I just heard a scream coming from the thief's cave.

"Big brother!"

The rope that the tall young man was dragging with his hands suddenly tightened. A force came from his rope, and something was pulling on the rope.

He used all his strength to drag outwards, and suddenly his body jerked back, and the rope in his hand became much lighter.

No, the short and thin man was dragged out, but his head was missing and blood was still pouring from his neck.

"Brother!" The tall and strong man shouted when he saw this, ran to his eldest brother's body, hugged his body, and tears flowed out instantly.

"What's going on!?" Wang Shen, who was secretly observing not far away, was shocked.

Everything is fine. A person's head is missing. Is there anything in the tomb? The corpse has transformed, and a zombie has appeared?

Wang Shen stared at the robbery hole closely.

The tall and strong man below was also staring at the robbery cave. He followed the unextinguished firelight in the robbery cave and saw a black shadow flash past.

"Zombie transformation! Brother, just wait, I will avenge you!"

The man outside the robber's cave brought the burning firewood to the entrance of the robber's cave, then took out a short knife, split the nearby firewood, kept stuffing it into the robber's cave, and then took out a small piece from the cloth bag around his waist. The dark wood was thrown directly into the burning pile of firewood.

"What is this for? Is it a smoke-fired zombie? Why don't you see any black donkey hooves?"

Wang Shen carefully watched the tall man's series of movements on the side. He was also learning from him. There is knowledge everywhere in life, and there must be a teacher for three of us.

Suddenly, the flames in the thief's cave suddenly sprayed outward, like a dragon spitting fire, and suddenly ignited the tall man who was adding firewood inside.

The man let out a scream and rolled a few times on the ground, suppressing the flames on his body. When he stood up again, his hair and eyebrows were singed, and a piece of his face was burned, but he still frantically added firewood to the hole.

The fire burned for more than two hours before the tall man stopped, took out some ointment from his body and applied it to his burned body.

The flames in the robber's cave slowly became smaller, and eventually the firewood was burned to ashes, and the soil around the robber's cave was burned to change color.

The tall and strong young man endured the pain and came to the thief's cave and looked inside. It was dark inside and there was no movement at all.

He took out the shovel again and began to expand the hole.

"Are you ready to go in and take a look?"

Suddenly, Wang Shen caught a glimpse of a black shadow emerging from the robbery hole. The tall and strong man slammed the shovel down.

"Give my brother his life, give my brother his life!" The strong man frantically hit the thing that came out of the tomb with the shovel in his hand.

Suddenly his body trembled, and the shovel he raised hung in the air. His body trembled twice and he took two steps back. There was blood flowing out of the stomach, gurgling non-stop.
