From Jiu Shu's world

Chapter 74

Knowing that there was a trick behind him, Henry Zhang started to act this night.

Because Henry Zhang’s Abao cured all the patients in Liujia Town during the day, some of them were healed, and some still had to be cured for a few days, so there were no deaths in Liujia Town today.

Henry Zhang was worried that the things on his back would not come, so he took reeds, white paper, and rice paste, and pasted a white-clothed paper man with white face, red cheeks, and hollow eyes.Then he took another dead person who had just died the day before yesterday, and used Li Daitao's stiff technique, intercepting the lingering breath left on it and putting it into the paper human body.

"Li Daitao is stiff, white paper is turning into a person, listen to my orders, wake up quickly, order."

As soon as the formula came out, with Henry Zhang pointing between the eyebrows of the white paper figure, the facial features, hands and feet of the paper figure became rounded to the naked eye, and became like ordinary people.

Except for his face being as pale as paper and his eyes dull, he looked clearly a person.This is the art of illusion, not very clever, just like the illusion of ghosts covering the eyes.

This paper man was used by Henry Zhang as a corpse, as a bait, to see what conspiracy the corpse thief had behind it.

At night, Henry Zhang buried the corpse turned into a paper man in the soil, just like Zhao An and the others did.The paper figurines were buried very shallow and firmly, so they would not be crushed.Henry Zhang hid in the room belonging to this yard, holding his breath and concentrating, restraining his breath.

The crescent moon rose, dark clouds in the night sky, and faint stars flickered, illuminating the empty courtyard.Liujia Town tonight no longer had the wails of the past, but it was very quiet.

Henry Zhang was like a hunting falcon, waiting patiently. In the middle of the night, when the cold air rose, there was movement outside the outer wall.

I saw a gust of wind blowing, shaking the trees in the yard, and the sound of footsteps coming from outside the yard was particularly obvious amidst the rustling sound of leaves.

"Tap."

Henry Zhang knew that something was coming, and he looked intently through a small hole in the window, only to see a long black shadow reflected from the moonlight, and when he looked up, a tall figure in white clothes floated over the wall.This figure was really light like a feather, falling down the wall one after another.

It didn't come by walking, but jumped over step by step. With both feet together, it jumped lightly, and then floated away for a distance of one or two battles. It was really light and elegant.Looking at its appearance again, its white face and red cheeks, its blood-red lips, its eyes looking forward, and a weird smile hanging from the corner of its mouth, it turned out to be a paper figurine.

The paper figurine is soulless, and seeing that the eyes of the paper figurine approaching have been closed, it is clear that there is a ghost attached to it. It looks like there are people behind it.Henry Zhang restrained his breath more and more, fearing to scare away the ghost-possessed paper man.

The paper figurine came to the center of the yard, swept its strange smiling face around, sensed the lifelessness under the soil, and let out a "hee hee" laugh.With a wave of his hands, the soil turned over in an instant, revealing the paper man bait that Henry Zhang deliberately buried.Although this bait is a paper man, Henry Zhang has already used Li Daitao's stiff spells and illusion techniques, and in the eyes of this ghost-possessed paper man, it is a corpse.

It leaned down and put the paper figure on its shoulders, and with a wave of its left hand, the exposed pit was buried like this, which was almost the same as the original one.

This Li Daitao's technique of stiffening Henry Zhang is not bad, not only retaining the breath, but also transforming the weight of this paper man, which is really about the same weight as a corpse for this ghost.I saw the paper man carrying the corpse, over the wall, and ran towards the hill outside Liujia Town under the moonlight.

Henry Zhang followed closely behind, hanging behind not far or near, while releasing Gu worms to follow and look around, while staring at where the paper man who robbed corpses under the moon was going.

The movement of the paper figurine seemed to be slow, but it took only a ten feet to jump and float, and it came to the edge of the sentry in a short while.

The isolation of Liujia Town was naturally surrounded by groups, checkpoints were set up at every intersection, horses were rejected, and even earthen walls were piled up to intercept people who wanted to run out.It's just that there are not many people stationed here, except for the gate, there are only three or two other checkpoints.

The soldiers of these warlords are all the same. Soldiers are paid to smoke opium, so how can they behave in a strict manner to guard against death.It's okay during the day, but at night, I gather in the corner to smoke a big cigarette and chat about nasty jokes.

When the paper man reached the checkpoint, he giggled and showed a strange smile. He directed at the backs of the three soldiers, and blew a stream of white smoke from his mouth, and the smoke flew towards the noses of the soldiers.

The three soldiers inhaled the smoke, and suddenly became dazed, as if they had smoked opium, and they didn't know anything.

The method of the paper figurine made him very familiar with the road, no wonder no one knew that the corpse was stolen.

Thanks to the means of this paper man, Henry Zhang didn’t have to bypass the checkpoint by himself, and just passed it openly.

The paper man walked farther and farther, further and further away, and even walked a short distance in the dense forest in this mountain. Hearing the roar of wild animals from time to time, Henry Zhang knew that he might have reached the depths of the dense forest .

After another turn, suddenly the head lighted up, and it turned out that we had reached a valley, and the branches and leaves of the trees on the head were much less.Let go of the silvery moonlight.Henry Zhang thought, this is the place.So he quickly hid in the bushes, staring at the paper man carrying the corpse in front of him.

The paper figurine stopped and stood in front of a huge pit that was tens of meters wide and seven or eight meters deep.Henry Zhang looked into the pit under the moonlight, and the scenery in front of him was really scary.

I saw that the big pit was full of remains of corpses, the number of corpses actually filled up less than half of the big pit, if counted, there might be as many as a thousand.These corpses are as dry as wood, only a piece of dry, skinny and yellow skin is left, which looks hideous and frightening. If you have to describe how they became like this, it is that they were sucked dry, sucking from the head, sucking the flesh and blood from the whole body. It's spotless.

In the middle of the mountain of dead bones and corpses, a black figure nearly three meters high stood there quietly.With a hill-like figure and low growls from time to time, people instinctively feel that this is a fierce beast.Henry Zhang knew that these plague corpses were probably used to feed this shadow.

While thinking about it, the paper man threw the transformed corpse into the corpse pit.Henry Zhang didn’t have time to think of a way, and the secret path was about to be revealed.

After all, this technique of Li Daitao's stiffness is not a supernatural power of transformation, the transformed corpse, no matter how it looks like, is just a paper man.If it was really bitten off by that black shadow, it was inevitable that it would be exposed.

Sure enough, the black shadow grabbed the head of the "corpse" with one hand, stretched it to his mouth, and bit it.

"Pfft"

With a sound, it was bitten through without hindrance.Now the illusion technique has failed, and turned into a white-clothed and red-cheeked paper man with half of his head missing.

Seeing the food disappear suddenly, the black shadow went mad, and the roar resounded through the valley.And that's not all, it waved its nearly one-meter-long arm, raging in the corpse pit, sweeping the mummified corpses to pieces, and the debris splashed out.

The paper man was bent over by a ghost, so he was not a fool. When he saw the corpse turned into a paper man, he knew that he had been hit by an illusion, so he looked back to see if he was being followed.

Henry Zhang hid behind the bushes to restrain his breath, but he must have been unlucky. A skull was swept in the direction of the bushes, as fast as a softball.

Henry Zhang secretly cursed bad luck, he wanted to hide to see if there was anyone behind him, but he didn’t expect to be exposed before seeing the person behind him.I had no choice but to do nothing but take down the black shadow and the ghost attached to the paper figurine first.That ghost must have been kept in captivity, so it knows something about it.
