Chapter Sixteen: Corpse Stealers

In order to serve the female ghost well, I turned from an apprentice to a servant, standing behind the female ghost and pounding her back and shoulders, while the old man leisurely drank the wine in the wine gourd.

"Your body was stolen by a magician from five miles away from here!" She seemed to have felt comfortable serving her, she spoke lightly.

"A monk, if you don't practice well, you will just do something stealing." The old man roared angrily, and immediately scared me to the point of pinching my shoulders, and instantly pinched the female ghost.

"It's heavy." She glared at me with dissatisfaction, her eyes full of anger.

"Why did he steal the corpse?" the old man asked again.

"Ten years ago, after he came here, he killed the temple's host, changed the nearby Feng Shui, and forced the place to be a corpse-raising site to intercept passing corpse-drivers. He stole their bodies and then used them to transport opium!"

"Evil fellow, sooner or later, will be punished by God!"

"No, why did he actually steal the corpse again? Just dig the corpse in the cemetery?"

"You don't know this. People who do not have enough knowledge of the corpses in the cemetery cannot bring them across the boundaries, and of course they cannot be used to transport opium!" the female ghost explained.

I looked at the old man, and he took a sip of wine and said, "Every place has a spiritual envoy. The spiritual envoys manage their own territory and cannot interact with each other. Except for the masters, there are also corpses in the driving force, the corpses in the other realms cannot cross the boundary."

"The reason why the corpses of masters and corpse-drivers can pass through the earth is that the former can pass over the corpse, and the latter is recognized by the heavens, so they can pass through the earth. If the corpse of evil magic digs a corpse from the earth, then they will be discovered by the spiritual envoy when they pass through the earth. I think he has no ability to fight with the underworld, so the best way is to steal the corpse of the corpse-drivers."

"Then where will we find him?" I asked.

“The Mortal Inn at Wulidi!”

“Mortal Inn?”

"Boy, it's not a place to exchange supplies and replenish dry food in the middle." The old man patted my head, stood up with a wine gourd on his back, glanced at the sky outside, pinched his fingers, and shook his head, "This trip is not easy, it's not peaceful along the way!"

"How uneasy?" I asked quickly. I couldn't imagine that the old man would do the calculation skills in my impression. This made me so excited.

"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed! The road is still long in the future, so you should learn seriously." The old man smiled and walked out of the temple with a wine gourd on his back.

"Boy, you haven't told me your name yet!" The female ghost leaned into my ear and whispered. Although the sound was nice, I shivered a few times, glared at her and followed the old man's footsteps.

"Let him carry you on his back and give him some weight!" The old man waved his hand in front of him.

As soon as he finished speaking, I felt a softness behind my back, and there seemed to be something indescribable to me. Before I could feel the comfort, my shoulders sank and felt like I was carrying a thousand pounds of stone.

I gritted my teeth and looked at the female ghost on my back. If my eyes can kill people, no, I can kill ghosts, then my eyes have destroyed her many times.

I couldn't resist, and the old man indulged me in other places, but he was never vague in practicing martial arts. I had to grit my teeth and follow the old man step by step with the female ghost on my back.

It was drizzling in the morning, and I gritted my teeth and walked step by step. The female ghost was enjoying herself crawling on my back. I, who had been used to walking with weights for the past few dozen days, quickly adapted to the weight added by the female ghost.

Although she was sweating profusely, she was not unable to move. The weight she gave was within my bearing range.

After passing through the hills, the old man glanced at the depressions and dilapidated temples in front, shook his head, "Desire!".

I don't know what he saw, but from our location, the depression and dilapidated temple had to be a little blurred first. At this time, the thick fog slowly shrouded downwards, and soon it became white.

"Go away quickly. If you don't have the inn today, don't think about finding your bodies." The female ghost urged me, and I glanced at the depression and followed me up.

I spent the whole way down and up the mountain. My feet were already trembling slightly, which was a sign of transitional fatigue. The female ghost said that the five-li land was a straight line of five-li, and where we went, it was more than five-li.

It was not until nightfall that the old man and I saw the inn on the mountain in a little dark night. At this time, it was brightly lit and noisy. I saw people coming and going into the inn. I guess it was a middle point, so the passenger flow was still very large.

"Boy, clean it up, let's go in, remember to be more eye-catching inside, this place is not as good as outside." The old man said, and suddenly I felt a lighter on my back. Before I could be happy, a slight coolness came from my chest.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you just stupid in my chest?" I shouted dissatisfied. However, the disappearing female ghost didn't say a word. I pulled my clothes and didn't see her figure. I had no choice but to follow the old man to the inn with a depressed look on my face.

"Welcome, welcome!"

We just approached the inn, and a strong woman with a big mole on her face and a body of fear of being over 200, shook her palm-leaf fan and said sharply.

"Passing by, come in a great room." The old man threw two oceans to her, and saw her fat face surrounding her like a chrysanthemum. After taking the ocean, she cracked her big mouth of sausage, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
