Old Li walked out and was gone the whole day.
It was only until three or four in the afternoon.
That he rushed back.
He went into the yard, picked up a scoop and filled it with water.
He drank a whole scoop, making a gurgling sound.
Then he stopped.
Turning around, he saw Zhang Chen.
Old Li smiled, “Finally found it, you should be able to make it in time!”
“Li Shu, thank you!”
Zhang Chen said seriously.
“Hey, what’s with all the thank yous between us, you’re like my son!”
Old Li patted him on the shoulder and said, “I asked those fortune tellers, but even though they’ve learned something, they only learned the basics. So, I gathered everyone’s opinions and came up with some suggestions!”
“嗯！”
Zhang Chen nodded, listening intently.
“This century-old corpse demon, or zombie, is because after a person dies, there’s still a breath left. When they’re buried, the feng shui of the burial ground changes, the earth dragon energy beneath the earth preserves the corpse from decay. Over many years, it grows into something powerful.”
“Black donkey hooves are the nemesis of zombies, as long as they eat it, no matter how old the zombie is, they’ll turn into pus.”
“However, to trick the zombie into eating the black donkey hoof, you need to use some special methods. That Mr. Jin, the master of Yin and Yang, and Mr. Sun, a famous name in feng shui, they know a strange art, they can imbue a paper person with life, so that the zombie sees the paper person as if it were a real person.”
“Unfortunately, the fortune tellers in the county town don’t know this art, but if it’s a normal zombie, you might get found out using an ordinary paper person. However, this zombie was destroyed once by you, its cultivation is weakened, so its perception will also be greatly reduced.”
“This zombie has poor vision, it relies on sensing the aura of living people to distinguish, plus you’ve already shot its eyes blind, in the darkness, it shouldn’t notice anything unusual about the paper person. You just need to let the paper person have a bit of living aura.”
Old Li said all this in one breath.
Meaning, using a paper person to deal with it has a high chance of success.
However, what is living aura?
Before Zhang Chen could ask.
Old Li explained, “Living aura, is to use the blood of a living person’s fingertip and dot it on the paper person’s eyes. A person’s eyes are the window to their soul. The paper person’s eyes don’t have human blood, they are lifeless. But, this fingertip blood needs to be found by yourself, if you use the blood of a young woman, the zombie will see the paper person as that young woman, if it’s a man, it’ll see it as a man!”
Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Just some blood?
That’s much simpler.
“That’s all!”
Old Li handed Zhang Chen the cloth bag containing the black donkey hooves.
He opened it and saw two inside.
They were quite old, hard and smelly.
“Then I’ll leave now!”
Zhang Chen didn’t say anything more.
With the two black donkey hooves, he got up and rushed towards Hu’s village.
…
Hu Guo Hua at this time.
Seeing that it was getting dark.
But still no one was in sight.
In the yard, the paper person was placed by the wall.
He didn’t even dare look at it now.
He was scared by the paper person some days ago.
When he bought the paper person, he was even a little wobbly.
Finally, he got it ready.
But he waited a whole day and Mr. Zhang still hadn’t come.
Hu Guo Hua was anxious.
He couldn’t stop thinking.
He had imagined countless times the scene of being eaten by the female corpse, Wan Xin.
The sun was slowly setting.
Hu Guo Hua was about to break down.
Just then.
He saw a figure walking quickly from the entrance.
Hu Guo Hua was overjoyed.
He hurried to greet him, shouting, “Mr. Zhang, I was afraid you wouldn’t come!”
Seeing his scared appearance.
Zhang Chen couldn’t help but laugh.
But he knew that ordinary people would be like this when they encountered such a thing.
“You can rest assured now!”
Zhang Chen said.
Hu Guo Hua nodded desperately.
Now that he had a backbone.
The panicked Hu Guo Hua finally calmed down.
He asked, “Mr. Zhang, what should we do next?”
“Bring the paper person inside!”
Zhang Chen said.
Hu Guo Hua nodded.
He immediately took the paper person inside.
Then Zhang Chen closed the door.
Turning around, he couldn’t help but admire the skill of Old Ma.
Even at first glance, he thought the paper person looked like a beautiful girl of sixteen or seventeen.
Only the eyes were not dotted.
It was probably because Hu Guo Hua was scared by the paper person.
He didn’t dare let Old Ma dot the eyes.
He took the black donkey hooves out of the bag.
Zhang Chen tied the black donkey hooves to the chest of the paper person with red ropes soaked in rooster blood and black dog blood.
He also took out a cup.
Inside were a few drops of fingertip blood.
He went to the market and paid a girl to let him draw some blood.
It was a bit dry now.
But it was enough to dot the two eyes.
He picked up a random piece of straw.
He dipped it in the fingertip blood and dotted it on the paper person’s eyes.
Suddenly, in Hu Guo Hua’s eyes.
The paper person instantly transformed into a beautiful young girl.
Hu Guo Hua was stunned.
He even involuntarily took a step back.
He was afraid it was another female ghost.
“Carry her!”
Zhang Chen said.
“啊?”
Hu Guo Hua was stunned.
He took a look and saw it was indeed a young girl.
Zhang Chen saw his expression and knew it must have worked.
He urged, “Hurry up, it’ll be troublesome if the female corpse gets impatient!”
Hu Guo Hua quickly nodded.
He stepped forward and hugged it.
He lifted it up.
It was light, like it had no weight.
Hu Guo Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was indeed a paper person.
And looking at it closely.
He could see that it was a paper person.
He didn’t understand.
He didn’t dare to ask.
He carried the paper person and followed Zhang Chen out of the house.
“咦? Why is the opium smoker carrying a young girl out?”
“What young girl, it’s a paper person!”
A sickly woman and a strong man saw Hu Guo Hua, and had the following conversation.
Zhang Chen’s heart moved.
Hu Guo Hua could see it as a real person.
Could it be because he had been smoking rich and precious opium for years, leading to a weak and deficient Yang energy?
He didn’t understand these things.
But he guessed that it must be the case.
The female ghost possessed the paper person, making it a spirit, to deceive Hu Guo Hua.
It was probably also because his body was emptied by opium, making it easy to control.
Ordinary strong men have ample Yang energy, and ghosts probably wouldn’t dare to approach them.
Thinking to himself.
His feet didn’t stop.
In a short while, they arrived at Thirteen Li Shop.
Hu Guo Hua looked at the pitch black surroundings and was terrified.
“Don’t be afraid, I’ll be watching, if it doesn’t work, I’ll stuff it in!”
Zhang Chen said.
Hu Guo Hua swallowed his saliva and nodded.
He was a little curious.
That female corpse was so ugly, stuff it in?
He took a deep breath.
Hu Guo Hua took a large gulp of wine, braving his courage, and walked towards the edge of the graveyard with the paper person…
