I immediately remembered the woman who stayed with Grandma He together with He Qiyue.
Although I have doubts in my heart, this matter is not something I should ask.
He Zhi walked up behind Grandma He, gently rubbed her shoulders, and said softly: "Mother-in-law, everyone has his own destiny. No matter what choice he makes, it is determined by fate, so there is no need to worry too much." Grandma He was even more stunned. No more talking.
Time flew by for two days.
There were no accidents during these two days.
He Qiyue came back the next day with a blind baby, who she took care of at home.
After the He family's ghost ladies came to see me, they told Grandma He that their words were no longer needed for the time being and they were leaving.
Grandma He asked me for my opinion on this matter, and I said it was fine and asked them all to go back and recuperate.
Although the many hags suffered one-third casualties, the rewards they received were generous.
A large number of water ghoul corpses, green corpses, heads of plague god living corpses...
It’s enough to make their wolf mastiff take a big step forward!
However, there is still one person left in the He family, the lost soul He Youqiong.
He Pheasant and I dealt with Mr. Broken Arm, but we couldn't find He Youqiong's soul in the village. We couldn't confront him face to face, so we let him escape.
He Youqiong was left in the He family, just waiting for us to get his soul back.
…
Wait until the evening of the next day, which is the third night after Zhang Jiugua and Luo Zhongliang left.
The two of them are back...
Zhang Jiugua is no longer as clean and decent as before. He even lost the hat on his head, one of his spectacle lenses was broken, and his clothes were even more dirty.
Luo Zhongliang was also covered in blood and looked miserable.
But both of them had extraordinarily tough eyes, and they were pulling a bullock cart together.
On top of the bullock cart, there are corpses stacked up!
Lao Huang just mooed and it continued to lie down without looking at it.
The red mastiff glanced with blue eyes, snorted, and curled up on the ground to sleep.
I walked to the courtyard gate, put my hands behind my back, and glanced at Luo Zhongliang and Zhang Jiugua.
"Master, you are so loyal and honorable." Luo Zhongliang bowed deeply to me.
Zhang Jiugua wiped the corners of his mouth, and he also bowed down, his voice obviously tired.
"Mr. Li, I brought back nine corpses...I can't cut off their heads." I nodded, and my eyes fell on the bullock cart again.
"Zhongliang, are there any secluded and abandoned houses in this village?" I asked.
Luo Zhongliang immediately nodded and said, "Yes, there is an abandoned City God's Temple in the north of the village."
"Pull the car over." I said again.
Luo Zhongliang immediately pulled up one rope of the ox cart, and Zhang Jiugua pulled up the other rope at the same time. The two of them pulled the ox cart forward.
There were footsteps in the courtyard, I turned around and saw He Zhi and Dunkong walking from the room and the main room respectively.
I waved my hand and shook my head, indicating that they didn’t need to follow.
I left alone with Luo Zhongliang and Zhang Jiugua.
Not long after, we arrived at the north end of the village, and there was indeed a Chenghuang Temple here.
The temple has been abandoned for a long time, the courtyard walls are dilapidated and the courtyard doors are cracked.
Zhang Jiugua and Luo Zhongliang struggled to drag the ox cart into the courtyard.
After I followed in, Zhang Jiugua let go of the rope, and he suddenly collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily.
Obviously, this has reached the limit of Zhang Jiugua.
Luo Zhongliang, on the other hand, gritted his teeth and still stood.
But his legs were shaking slightly, and he was obviously at the end of his strength.
"You all satisfy me."
I nodded and didn't hesitate to praise.
Luo Zhongliang opened his eyes wide with surprise.
Zhang Jiugua also climbed up from the ground tremblingly, barely holding on to the bullock cart, and stood with a bow.
"You two are too tired. Take a rest. At midnight, I will teach you something."
Luo Zhongliang immediately knelt down, and he and I bowed in obeisance.
Zhang Jiugua was also smart. He knelt on the ground with a bang.
And his face was even more ecstatic, his hands holding the clothes on both sides, trembling non-stop.
I waved my hand and motioned for them to enter the shabby house of the Chenghuang Temple.
Both of them got up and walked inside.
In the ruined courtyard, I was the only one left with a car full of corpses.
Pause for a moment.
I went to untie the ropes on the bullock cart and laid all the corpses flat on the ground.
There were indeed three bodies of pregnant women among them.
Almost all of them are pregnant for nine to ten months.
The other nine corpses were indeed not to be beheaded by Zhang Jiugua.
The cold moonlight shone down, and all the corpses were covered with white down.
These are all white evil spirits.
Although white evil spirits are very basic corpses that transform into evil spirits, they still turn into evil spirits after all.
Zhang Jiugua is just an ordinary person. Even if he and Luo Zhongliang had the square plate I gave them to protect their lives, it would only be a passive life-saving thing.
I have never taught a disciple, and this arrangement has always been somewhat inappropriate.
I placed all nine corpses on the ground and pulled the bullock cart aside.
Finally, I looked at the corpse on the ground and lowered my head to think.
Time soon came to midnight.
Luo Zhongliang and Zhang Jiugua were both standing on the edge of the dilapidated house, looking at me eagerly.
I raised my head, waved to Luo Zhongliang, and said, "Zhongliang, you come out first." Luo Zhongliang immediately walked out respectfully.
Zhang Jiugua's eyes clearly flashed with envy.
"Master, please speak."
I took something out of my arms, it was a small booklet.
On the booklet, there are four words written on it: Nine Arts of Yin Sheng.
"This is the inherited magic of your Luo family, the Nine Techniques of Yin Sheng. Back then, Luo Yinpo used to connect the Yins of pregnant women who had died from all over the country. I don't know how many families were saved from the suffering of mother and child. I have helped many villages live a stable life."
Luo Zhongliang stared at the book blankly, his hands trembling slightly as he took it.
"The spirit of giving birth to a baby, sheltering from the Yang Pass, the fetus is full term, and is given a teaching name. In the twelfth month, incense and candles are used to pay tribute, and the yin is born."
I spoke one word at a time and said with great solemnity: "Today, what I will teach you is not the yin technique, but the Luo family's yin-receiving technique. These three pregnant women are what you use to practice. However, yin-receiving requires sacrifices, and I will let you What you are looking for is an ownerless corpse that cannot be enshrined, so you can only suppress it with Yin magic."
"From today on, you will live in this City God's Temple. When you learn the nine techniques of Yin Sheng and connect all three pregnant women to Yin, I will teach you the remaining Yin techniques to let them rest in peace."
I pondered for a moment and then said: "Before that, you go to the village, catch a few black cats, and then dig out a piece of clay. I also need to teach you how to make cat bone pottery."
After saying that, I untied a cloth bag that I had prepared a long time ago from my waist and handed it to Luo Zhongliang.
Luo Zhongliang was stunned for a moment and took it. After he opened it, he looked down.
"Master...this is..."
"The yin-connecting dagger, gray fairy gloves, cat fur jacket, scissors, scales, and other magical tools left behind by Luo Yin Po." I replied.
Luo Zhongliang tied the bag around his waist more carefully.
I nodded and said, "Go ahead."
He immediately ran towards the outside of the City God's Temple, and soon disappeared at the end of the village road.
I raised my head and looked at Zhang Jiugua at the door of the broken house.
Zhang Jiugua swallowed, his eyes almost straightened.
"Come out and chop off these nine heads." As I said that, I took out the divination knife and stuck it straight on the ground.
"With this knife, you can chop off these heads."
