Chapter 174: Cheaper Than a Copper Coin

The gunshot rang out, and Xia Yubing's body fell to the ground again.

Ning Zhe took off the evil ghost mask with green face and fangs, revealing a young face with a bit of scholarly air; that was his original appearance.

Xia Yubing, whose brainstem was penetrated by the bullet, lay motionless on the ground, a pair of eyes wide open in death, as if staring at Ning Zhe and asking why.

A scorching sun rose on the eastern horizon, and the warm sunlight spilled on her gradually cooling corpse, as if three snakes were intertwined.

Xia Yubing's Three Corpses also began to leave her body.

"Sure enough." Ning Zhe put the pistol back into his pocket and turned to look at the Buddha's face without features behind him.

Verification successful, his guess was correct.

When a person dies in the Four-Faced Buddha's blind spot, and the process of their death is not observed by the Four-Faced Buddha, the corpse of this person will undergo strange changes, the Three Corpses will leave the body and wander around, trying to report the truth of the person's death to heaven.

The "heaven" of Zanju Town is the Four-Faced Buddha.

"Under the operation of the rules, the objective facts thought by the Four-Faced Buddha are automatically moving closer to the true objective facts, and the Three Corpses leaving the body is the manifestation of this process." Ning Zhe nodded slightly, glancing at Xia Yubing's gradually pale corpse.

And the method to stop this process is not complicated, just prescribe the right medicine, bribe the Three Corpses so they don't report the truth to the Four-Faced Buddha, and the person who has already died can rely on the Four-Faced Buddha's observation to live on.

In a sense, this is also another form of "eternal life."

"The logic of obtaining 'eternal life' through the Four-Faced Buddha is somewhat different from the God of Wealth Wealth Wu Tong, who directly casts human lives into currency for forced buying and selling. It's hard to say which is better; each has its own fatal drawbacks."

Ning Zhe shook his head, not taking it to heart.

While pondering, a cold hand gripped his tiger's mouth, dispelling the warm morning sun and bringing bone-chilling coldness.

Ning Zhe lowered his head and saw Xia Yubing's pale face stained with blood.

"Do you want a Snickers?" Ning Zhe took out a chocolate bar, peeled the packaging, and stretched it toward her red mouth, which was constantly overflowing with blood plasma.

"No reaction, looks like it's not the Middle Corpse." Ning Zhe clicked his tongue, put the Snickers back into his pocket, and took out a pure gold pocket watch from his bosom.

This time Xia Yubing finally had a reaction. She let go of the cold hand that was tightly gripping Ning Zhe's wrist, took the pocket watch he handed over, and her restless eyes calmed down, becoming dead and silent again.

This is the Upper Corpse.

After a person dies, they differentiate into Three Corpses, and each of the Three Corpses has its own different preferences.

The Upper Corpse is greedy for treasures, the Middle Corpse is gluttonous for good tastes, and the Lower Corpse is lustful for carnal desires.

As long as you understand the preferences of these ghosts and prescribe the right medicine, you can bribe the Three Corpses and make them temporarily give up reporting the person's crimes to heaven. Compared with the result of "prolonging life," the cost required to bribe the Three Corpses is really not worth mentioning.

Having dismissed the Upper Corpse greedy for wealth, another pair of hands pinched Ning Zhe's neck, and the bone-chilling cold spread from behind. He didn't need to look to know what it was.

Ning Zhe took out the unwrapped chocolate bar from his pocket and handed it behind him. Immediately after, the crunching sound of chewing chocolate and peanut filling followed.

Slowly, the sound of chewing chocolate and peanut filling faded away, and the two ghost hands pinching Ning Zhe's neck also disappeared. Among the Three Corpses, the gluttonous Middle Corpse is the easiest to deal with, just give it something good to eat.

The hardest to deal with is the Upper Corpse greedy for wealth. Ordinary people who haven't encountered strange events really can't take out treasures that can satisfy the Upper Corpse's greed. In fact, Ning Zhe couldn't take it out either. The gold pocket watch was stolen from Shen Qing's bag. Ning Zhe turned his head, slightly moving his neck that had just been pinched by the ghost hands, and glanced down, seeing the pale arms of the female corpse lying on the ground suddenly straighten, slowly sitting up, twisting a face full of splashed blood, and staring at him with two eyes.

The Lower Corpse is lustful for carnal desires. This ghost is easy to deal with if you say it's easy, and hard to deal with if you say it's hard. It only depends on whether the person concerned values their chastity.

Ning Zhe lowered his head, looked at the two hands reaching toward his belt, thinking that he would probably be treated the same as Shen Qing next.

Actually, if you really want to keep your chastity, it's very simple: spend 1 copper coin to buy back Xia Yubing's life from the God of Wealth. Ordinary people who haven't encountered strange events certainly can't take out the life-buying money, but Ning Zhe can.

But Ning Zhe asked himself a question in his heart: How much is my chastity worth?

The answer is cheaper than 1 copper coin.

If just sacrificing the flesh can exchange for 1 life-buying copper coin, then the people queuing up to sell themselves could probably queue from Yizhou to Cangzhou.

So Ning Zhe slowly exhaled, letting Xia Yubing reach for his belt.

Probably even Lan Shiwen wouldn't have thought that an ascender of the Yeyao level would have a deep-rooted relationship with a ghost to save 1 copper coin.

By the time Xia Yubing regained consciousness, it was already noon.

The sore shoulders transmitted a feeling of powerlessness close to dislocation, and the light lower body was numb, as if she had practiced legs for a whole afternoon yesterday, as sore and weak as doing two hundred squats with weight.

The throat and back of the head that were injured twice were still aching faintly. Xia Yubing struggled to open her eyes and saw a gray car ceiling.

A bumpy feeling came from under her body. Emerald green trees tilted backward from the car window, and this car was carrying her forward on a bumpy road.

"Awake?" Ning Zhe held the steering wheel with one hand, looked at the phone fixed on the bracket, and said: "About 5 kilometers to the city, your family is already waiting for you at the hospital."

Xia Yubing was stunned. After the confusion dissipated, there was uncontrollable joy: "We, we're out?!"

"Yeah, out, the process went very smoothly. If it weren't for your physical strength being too good and delaying too much time, we should have left earlier." Ning Zhe's tone was slightly awkward because he regretted it. 【174-

Xia Yubing's toned muscles were truly not trained in vain; when she went crazy, she was like a fierce tiger pouncing on a little lamb. Her waist was nearly broken by him sitting on it, and after this round, her pelvis probably had two more cracks in it.

If he had known, he shouldn't have saved that one copper coin; he wouldn't have suffered this old sin.

Xia Yubing blinked. What Ning Zhe said was as cryptic as ever, like a riddle, but for some reason, this time she felt like she had perhaps, maybe... understood a little?

"Hiss..."

Just as Xia Yubing intended to shift her sore body to a more comfortable sitting position, a tearing pain suddenly came from below, making her gasp: "So painful... why does it hurt so much..."

It hadn't even hurt this much when he hit her stomach with rubber bullets before.

"Suck it up." Ning Zhe gave her the middle finger: "I didn't even cry out in pain, yet you're the one shouting first."

Turning the world upside down.
