Outside Xinkang Town, in the courtyard of Yizhuang.
"He's here again?"
Carefully hiding at the door, Zhang Shusheng listened to the rebirth curse that sounded outside and asked in a lowered voice intentionally.
"And this time they brought three corpses?"
No wonder Zhang Shusheng was so panicked. He had been frightened by Wu Gengfu's series of remarks, and now he encountered Pei Wende's behavior of continuously bringing corpses to Yizhuang.
Not to mention a timid scholar like Zhang Shusheng, other bolder people would definitely be terrified by now.
"It's okay, aren't they just three unclaimed corpses?"
Still tapping his bamboo stick calmly, Wu Gengfu seemed to have not noticed Zhang Shusheng's pale face, and explained with an indifferent expression.
"But the three corpses this time... are more terrifying than the previous ones!"
Through the gap in the door, Zhang Shusheng could see clearly that none of the three corpses Pei Wende brought back this time was complete.
Let’s not talk about the two corpses whose heads were pierced by arrows. They were obviously forcibly killed by bows and arrows, and they were also extremely powerful bows.
As for the other corpse, it was even more exaggerated.
All the flesh and blood on the corpse disappeared, leaving only a thin skin and a pale skeleton.
And if Zhang Shusheng saw it correctly, there were countless tooth marks and bite marks on the surface of the pale corpse, which made people particularly frightened.
Zhang Shusheng had seen similar scars. It was when there was a famine in the area when he was a child. There were similar marks on the bones scattered on the roadside and eaten by jackals and crows.
"No matter how scary they are, they are just corpses. Don't scare yourself anymore..."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Vigalando..."
"Gami Ni..."
While Zhang Shusheng and Wu Gengfu were communicating and talking, Pei Wende outside Yizhuang continued to recite the rebirth mantra.
This short fourteen-sentence, fifty-nine-syllable rebirth mantra has been recited by Pei Wende countless times.
After repeating it so many times, Pei Wende, who was not familiar with this mantra, was able to recite the entire text fluently, reaching a certain level of recitation and action.
Pei Wende dared to swear that even when he memorized Tang poetry and Song lyrics in his previous life, he was not so fluent and skillful.
Speaking out and reciting the mantra are just the basis. With the repeated recitation of the mantra, Pei Wende felt that his understanding of the rebirth mantra had reached a whole new level.
Affected by this, a faint golden light that seemed familiar was emanating from Pei Wende's heart, giving people a sacred and solemn feeling.
【This is the feeling! 】
At the same time, Pei Wende, whose eyes were slightly closed, suddenly opened his eyes wide because he found that his consciousness fell into a revolving door state again.
But this time, what appeared in Pei Wende's consciousness was no longer Ma Zheng's memory, but the lifetime memories of the three ghosts he had just killed.
The memories of the old man and the child were nothing special. They were just ordinary people who were accidentally eaten by a tiger and had their souls imprisoned.
The old man was a hunter who lived in an unknown village. Because he went to the mountains to hunt and collect herbs all year round, he had an extraordinary familiarity with the mountain forest where he lived.
However, perhaps it was precisely because of this familiarity that the old man ignored the abnormality that day.
So when the eye-catching giant tiger with a white forehead appeared in front of the old man, he only had time to lament, "My life is over!" before he was bitten to death by the tiger.
The same was true for the child who went deep into the forest and was eaten by a giant tiger.
However, it was not because of his own will that he went deep into the forest. In order to please the giant tiger, a certain ghost under the giant tiger deliberately abducted a child from a nearby village and then sacrificed him to be eaten by blood.
From the perspective of modern people in the 21st century, the plight of these two ghosts is very pitiful.
But in this era where tigers and wolves are rampant and jackals are rampant, places outside towns and villages do not belong to humans. Those wild beasts are the real masters of the wilderness.
In comparison, the only female among the three ghosts, the one who took the initiative to open her "skin cage" and died, was the one who was really targeted by the giant tiger.
Just as Pei Wende guessed, the female ghosts were indeed not ordinary people during their lifetime, but a green forest person who rose up after the Anshi Rebellion. At the peak of her lifetime, she had a team of nearly a hundred people.
And the members of this team are not the old, weak, sick or disabled, but veterans who have truly survived the Anshi Rebellion.
However, although these veterans of many battles possess extremely strong combat effectiveness, due to the lack of formal logistics and weapons supplies, they can only become bandits who cause trouble for one side.
As the leader of this group of bandits, in order to be able to intimidate the group of ruthless bandits under her command, the female demon has a brutal resume that ranks among the best even in the government's merit book.
Burning, killing, looting, committing all kinds of evil...
Until the last moment when she was arrested by the government, the female ghost massacred a village simply because the villagers in that village refused to hand over the food they relied on for the winter.
Faced with such vicious gangsters, the local government did not hesitate to issue an order to "kill them immediately" and took all the captured gangsters to Caishikou to behead Lingchi collectively.
On the day of the execution, countless persecuted people poured into Caishikou and witnessed with their own eyes the destruction of this gang of gangsters.
Then, the corpses of these gangsters were torn into countless pieces by the angry people. The scene was far from being described as "eating their flesh and consuming their blood".
In fact, apart from venting anger, there is another reason for such a brutal situation.
There is a saying among the people that the flesh and blood of a murderer riddled with evil spirits has the effect of curing all kinds of diseases and exorcising evil spirits.
Either for the healthy growth of children, or for the recovery of patients...
Whenever executions were carried out in Caishikou, people would beg for the flesh and blood of the condemned prisoners.
Not to mention that the person who was beheaded this time was the most ferocious gangster within a hundred miles. There will always be people who believe that their flesh and blood and evil spirit can ensure the safety and health of their children and patients.
Let's not talk about the rationality of this statement. Judging from the aftermath, the vicious aura left behind by these gangsters did attract the eye-catching white-fronted giant tiger entrenched nearby.
So, on a dark and windy night, a giant tiger disguised as a human came near Caishikou.
The female ghost was "resurrected" in that situation, and then became one of the most powerful ghosts under the eye-catching white-fronted giant tiger.
If the evil spirit of the female ghost itself were not strong enough, it would be so strong that it could even ignore some of the orders of the eye-catching white-fronted giant tiger.
She, "one of the most powerful demons under the eye-catching white-browed giant tiger", must be removed in order to live up to her name.
