Chapter 294

The young Incense Master who survived faced a town full of corpses with various miserable deaths.

He returned home in numbness and confusion, but unfortunately, his family members had all died miserably. The home and town he was once familiar with suddenly became the most terrifying place for him.

Finally, he escaped from the town in a daze. This time, nothing blocked him, and he finally escaped alone.

He ran alone in the mountains and fields for I don't know how long, and finally fell into a tree nest somewhere and passed out.

When he woke up again, it was dark, and the sounds of wild beasts and insects were endless, but he didn't feel any fear at all.

Having experienced a ghostly event and survived, the young Incense Master's mind matured rapidly.

And the corpse spot markings on his body also had a strong deterrent effect on the surrounding wild beasts. Basically, no wild beasts dared to approach him.

At night, he felt the loneliness and fear that went deep into his bones for the first time. After finally making it to the next day, he stumbled back to the town again.

It was just that when he finally found his way back, he found that the entire town had caught fire, and a group of strange people he had never seen before were dealing with the townspeople who had undergone corpse transformation outside the town.

That terrifying scene made him think that those people were cruel bandits, so he didn't dare to approach at all and buried his head in the mountain forest again to flee.

This time, he completely gave up the idea of returning to the town, because there was nothing left there now.

In the mountains, in order to survive, he could only pick wild fruits and wild vegetables to fill his stomach. When he walked out of the mountain forest, he was in rags, like a wild man or a beggar.

In the end, in order to survive, he had to start begging everywhere. During that time, he didn't know how many white eyes he had received, or how many insults and beatings he had suffered.

Often, in order to get a bite to eat, he had to fight for his life with other beggars. The deepest impression was that one winter, he finally begged for half a piece of coarse cake, but before it was even warm, it was snatched away by a few other big beggars.

The Incense Master, who had already been starved red-eyed, finally began to go crazy completely. In the process of fighting for his life with those beggars, the corpse spots on his body began to be unconsciously guided and spread, eventually turning into a terrifying ghostly power.

In the end, those few beggars died miserably under the effect of that ghostly power. When the young Incense Master came back to his senses, half of his small body had been eroded by corpse spots, and at the same time, he understood that the corpse spots on his body possessed extremely powerful power.

Driven by fear, terror, and excitement, the Incense Master simply took the pitifully small amount of property on those beggars and then fled the city.

After moving away from the city, he tried to use the ability of the corpse spots again, and then he discovered that this ability was indeed extremely powerful. Any creature touched by him would die directly and turn into a stiff corpse.

It was just that every time he used this ability, those corpse spots would spread a little bit on his body. The more he used it, the larger the area the corpse spots would spread!

At that time, even if he didn't understand anything, he could know by instinct that once the corpse spots spread to his whole body, there would likely be no good end in the end.

But for an eight or nine-year-old child, having such a thing on his body at least gave him the capital to survive in this world, rather than being reduced to an object that could be bullied by anyone.

Relying on the prey he got and the property he snatched, the Incense Master finally gained a foothold in another city's mud alley, which was similar to a slum.

Such a place was full of low-class trades and gangs, but for him, it was the best place.

At that time, although he was young, he already had a fierce momentum. In this place where people only looked at who was more fierce, he managed to mix well.

First, he subdued a group of hooligans as his subordinates to help run errands and do things, and then opened a funeral shop specializing in making incense candles and paper money. After all, he was only familiar with this business.

However, what was unexpected was that his business actually grew bigger and bigger. First, he established a relationship with the temple in the city to provide the other party with high-quality incense candles, then annexed another funeral shop to take down half of the funeral business in the city, and finally subdued several local big gangs through some means.

It seemed that at the age of ten or so, he already possessed considerable power and a huge family business, and could be considered a young and promising talent.

Unfortunately, the further it went, the less he appeared in front of people, and even his close confidants were called into the room to meet alone.

He left a very mysterious impression on outsiders, so in the rumors of his subordinates, he became more mysterious and more terrifying, and even various sensational nicknames and stories spread among the people.

But in fact, at this time, most of the Incense Master's body had been covered by corpse spots, and most parts could no longer be seen to have anything to do with living people, and even his body temperature was as cold as a dead person!

At this time, he was no longer the greenhorn who didn't understand anything. He knew some things about ghosts, and the only way to survive was to obtain and accommodate another kind of ghostly power, or to obtain the inheritance of some special sects.

Whether the former could succeed depended on fate. Merging ghosts had always been a matter of nine deaths and one life. The fact that he could be eroded by corpse spots and survive back then was also mostly due to luck.

At that time, it happened that the Longevity Ghost was recovering, and those corpses wearing burial clothes were the ghost slaves of the Longevity Ghost.

After the statue used to seal the Longevity Ghost cracked, those black corpse waters flowed out. Those black corpse waters were essentially another ghost, but because of the effect of the Longevity Ghost's power at that time, it fell into silence, so he was able to survive.

And now, that rotting corpse ghost that had turned into corpse water was recovering on his body. According to his current state, I am afraid he didn't have many days to live.

In the end, in order to continue doing it, the Incense Master made a choice. While arranging for people to inquire about those special sects, he was also looking for some weaker ghosts.

In the era when the Incense Master lived, there were not so many ghosts, otherwise he would not have known nothing about ghosts back then.

It was just that in the end, the special sects were not found, and the ghosts he could know about were either incomparably dangerous or were suppressed by the special government offices at that time.

Instead, in the process of making incense, he accidentally created a special incense that could temporarily suppress ghostly power.

This made the Incense Master see another path. He began to produce this special incense in large quantities, and finally used these incense to trade with other ghost riders.

Relying on these accumulations, he obtained some ghostly objects and established relationships with some ghost riders.

Later, because the corpse spots continued to spread, the Incense Master had to start taking risks. He spent a price to find several ghost riders he was familiar with to hunt a certain ghost together.

However, that time, the Incense Master encountered a situation far more dangerous than the ghosts he had encountered before. In the end, none of the ghost riders who hunted with him came back.

When he came back, his temperament had also undergone huge changes. At the same time, he also obtained a tattered ancient book in his hand.

From that time on, the Incense Master became more and more extreme, cold, and cruel. In order to achieve his goal, he began to use unscrupulous means, and even launched a bloody purge of his own forces.

Until the end, only those who would mindlessly obey his orders were left. The Incense Temple also gradually embarked on a path of sacrificing living people at that time. ===== CHAPTER 295 =====
