The "family members" couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw this.

"Isn't it an ordinary 'talisman'?!"

"This is really difficult to deal with... It seems that I have to find a place with strong yin energy to raise your corpse first!"

While muttering softly, the "family member" took out a bottle of foul-smelling corpse oil and drew an even circle around the three corpses without leaving any gaps.

After the corpse oil was sprinkled, the ants and mole crickets that had been eating the corpse died suddenly in an instant.

Other snakes, insects, and rats nearby also ran out of their hiding places in "panic" and instinctively fled far away.

After doing all this, the family members left with peace of mind and walked towards the town in three steps and two steps at a time.

Although the "family members" of the death row prisoners were on foot, they were moving very quickly and reached the edge of the town in a short time.

He watched the high-walled electric grid and the heavily guarded prison from a distance for a while, then murmured to himself.

"The prison is set up with the 'White Tiger Breaking the Trouble', and this town is right opposite the 'White Tiger Opening' location."

"If there is a corpse raising ground nearby, it must be in this town."

"It's a pity that our 'Thirteen Gu Jiangmen' are not proficient in the secret techniques of Feng Shui, otherwise it would be much easier to find..."

Although the town is not big, it is definitely not small either.

In addition, there are many people and many people are watching during the day, so the "family members" don't dare to be too blatant.

So after walking around and around until it got dark, I still couldn't find the so-called "corpse raising place".

Looking at the still crowded town, the "family" decided to find a place to eat and rest first, and then go out to continue searching until midnight.

After all, that's when the yang energy is at its weakest and it's easiest to find "extremely yin places".

When the moon was dark and the wind was high, the town finally became completely quiet after a busy day.

Even the drunkards have gone home and gone to bed long ago.

There were no more pedestrians on the empty streets, and only the cold night wind carried waste paper, plastic bags and other debris flying everywhere.

So much so that the "family members" walked alone in the middle of the road, looking extremely desolate.

This time the "family members" did not rush around like headless flies like they did during the day.

Instead, he took out an unconscious bat from the cloth bag on his waist, poured a drop of corpse oil on his finger, opened the bat's mouth and smeared it in.

The originally unconscious bat immediately came back to life after licking the corpse oil.

It circled in the air with glaring scarlet eyes, vibrating its fleshy wings and flew in one direction.

Seeing this, the "family members" put their fingers stained with corpse oil into their mouths and sucked them, while quickly following him.

However, not long after walking, that is, just after turning a few alleys, I saw a group of people wearing mourning clothes coming from the opposite side.

The leading ones held brooms, chains, willow branches and other objects in their hands and moved forward slowly while cleaning the road.

At the same time, he kept saying: "You can go there with peace of mind, don't worry about home."

"If there's anything missing down there, just give us a dream..."

As a head-lowering master, the "family members" immediately realized that they had encountered the "First Seven Sweeping Nights" to send away the souls of the dead.

While secretly expressing bad luck, he hid his body in a dark place.

Sweeping the night, young people today may not have heard of this custom.

This means that on the seventh day after a person dies, that is, in the early morning of the first seven days, the family members of the deceased need to take chains, brooms, and willow sticks to start sweeping along the funeral route, all the way to the burial place.

There are two purposes for doing this.

As soon as he came to see him off, Tou Qi called him back to Hun Ye.

Remind the deceased that you are dead and cannot linger in the mortal world, let alone stay at home.

This will create a conflict between yin and yang, which is not good for the living or the dead;

The second step is to escort the deceased to the dark house safely.

Avoid any emergencies on the road or being bullied by lonely ghosts.

Saoye is very taboo about people coming from the opposite side, because it is not good for both the deceased and the visitors who have returned to the soul that night, and a collision will not be good.

That's why the "family members" who are anxious to find the burial place choose to avoid it.

Even though he is a head-dropping master, it doesn't mean he likes to be haunted by ghosts for no reason.

Unfortunately, many things cannot be avoided if you want to...

Just as the Jiangtou Master watched the night sweeping team leave and was about to step out of the darkness and continue chasing the bats, he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine and shivered subconsciously.

Even a dense layer of goosebumps suddenly appeared all over my body.

The head-lowering master was an expert, and he immediately knew that he was in trouble - he had been haunted by the dead souls sent by the night sweeping team just now!

While secretly cursing the bad luck, he pretended to move forward as if nothing had happened.

As he walked, he grabbed a handful of ashes from his waist and scattered them very discreetly on the road.

After walking more than ten meters, the head-dressing master quietly looked behind him while bending down to tie his shoelaces.

Sure enough, a line of footprints appeared on the ashes that had just been scattered.

Seeing this, the head-dropping master couldn't help but sneered: "Humph, just because I don't want to cause trouble doesn't mean I'm afraid of your new soul!"

"Since you are looking for death, then come along!"

Yan Bi suddenly quickened his pace and walked towards a remote place with the ghost behind him.

Even the matter of finding a place to raise corpses was put aside for the time being.

After walking a hundred or ten meters and leaving the residential area, the descending master suddenly stopped.

He quickly turned around and threw the remaining ashes forward.

Amidst the ashes, a vague figure appeared, which was the new soul chasing after him.

Seeing this, the head-dropping master sneered even more: "If you don't take the road to heaven, you will fall into hell without any door!"

"If that's the case, then I'll take you back to practice 'Fierce Ghost Subduing'!"

Yan Bi quickly took out a toad that was covered in big bumps, turned his back to the new soul and squeezed it hard.

The pimples on the toad's body burst instantly, and the venom poured all over the new soul.

After all, the new soul had just died, so there was no way he could do anything right.

The moment he was drenched by the venom, he screamed and rushed towards the head-lowering master crazily.

The head-dropping master still sneered, as if all the new soul's actions were within his expectations.

Not only did he not hide, he took out a piece of intact human skin and took the initiative to meet him.

The human skin was shaken off by the head-lowering master, and it floated strangely in the air like a bag filled with wind.

And the living soul is like a sparrow that takes the initiative to dig into a bag...

At this critical moment, an old cough sounded.

I saw the old man from the coffin shop slowly walking out with a hammer in one hand and coffin nails in the other.

"There really is an expert in this town!" Seeing this, the head-dropping master immediately collected the human skin in his pocket.

But the newly dead ghost still pounced forward regardless.

Upon seeing this, Lao Suntou shook his head helplessly, put away the hammer and coffin nails, took out the coffin pressure ink thread, straightened it, and stopped it in front of the new soul.

The new soul hit the ink line and was immediately bounced back with a scream.

Old Sun didn't even bother to pursue him, he just stood there and looked at the new soul with complicated eyes.

"Oh, he was such a good person when he was alive, but why did he become a fool after his death?"

"As an old neighbor for many years, I would like to advise you: Go quickly, dust will return to dust."

"It's not good for you or your family to linger too much on the earth."

The new soul was hit one after another and seemed to wake up a little.

When he raised his head again, he could already recognize the old man in the coffin shop.

"Brother Sun, I died unjustly! I still don't know how I died!"

"I asked the ghost guard who held the soul, but he didn't tell me. He only said, 'If you die, you will die a hundred times.' Since you are dead, don't worry about things in the world anymore."

"I don't want to be a fool, so I ask Brother Sun to show mercy and help me survive!"

Shopkeeper Sun of the coffin shop changed his face slightly when he heard this, but he just shook his head and sighed.

He is just a "black-footed coffin bearer" and is far from being able to extend a person's life, let alone reverse life and death.

Moreover, there is great terror between life and death. Even the "people" of the Hu family, who are as powerful as the most powerful Chuma Immortal in the world, could not come back when they went through the underworld to save a Chuma disciple.
