Chapter 3: Evil Corpse

At first, it was just small stuff, stealing some food and copper coins, but soon his appetite became bigger and bigger.

Because ordinary food and drink could no longer satisfy him, he often frequented brothels and gambling dens at that time, and the money he used was naturally obtained from stealing.

Stealing from wealthy households, stealing from restaurants, stealing the redemption money of brothel prostitutes, stealing the coffin money of elderly people, stealing...

In short, the further he went, the more unscrupulous he became, and eventually, he set his sights on the Wang family, a wealthy family in Luohe City.

But this time he failed; not only was he caught on the spot by the Wang family's guards, but his legs were also crippled, and he was finally handed over to the government.

Because no one treated him, he ended up dying of pain in the prison.

"Planting corpses does not ask about the past, raising ghosts does not solve a thousand difficulties."

"Small thief does not stop, big thief dies, this is an inferior corpse seed."

"If one asks the value of this corpse, only the Traceless Steps are worth using."

"Corpse planted, harvested one point of spiritual energy."

A ball of light emerged from the "Ghost-Planting and Ghost-Raising Scripture" and then exploded directly, being absorbed by Lin Feng's body.

Immediately after, he felt that his legs had undergone some changes, and his whole body felt a few pounds lighter.

Taking a step forward with a "swish," he had already jumped two zhang away, and terrifying explosive power condensed between his legs.

"Whoosh, whoosh~"

Then he took another step, and his whole body rushed out like a galloping wild horse, with the wind whistling in his ears and his clothes fluttering.

Lin Feng stopped abruptly, his legs slightly sore and hot, but other than that, he felt nothing else.

"Amazing!"

Even though he had experienced it once before, Lin Feng still felt it was incredible.

It was as if he had suddenly received someone else's decades of internal energy in the story!

No need to learn from scratch, no need for day and night hard training, he knew it instantly.

"Traceless Steps, it really is light-body skill!"

Lin Feng savored the feeling of running wildly just now; he felt as light as a swallow, and he could jump six or seven meters away with a single step.

In this era, he could jump to the roof of an ordinary house with a light leap, and even those high-walled wealthy courtyards couldn't stop him.

"Very good!"

Although it wasn't the corpse that could plant ghosts that he was most eager for, at least his ability to save his life was stronger after having light-body skills!

After settling his mood, Lin Feng shouldered his hoe and returned to the wooden shack, where Old Quezi was already cooking dinner.

This era was not like his previous life, where one could order takeout anytime, anywhere; most families had to cook their own food.

The flames and smoke produced by burning firewood added some human touch to this gloomy and lonely graveyard.

"Today I cooked two taels of preserved meat, sliced it thin, dipped it in garlic paste and aged vinegar, the taste is just beautiful!"

Old Quezi said loudly to him as soon as he saw Lin Feng return.

"Good!"

Hearing him say it was delicious, the glutton in Lin Feng's stomach was also hooked.

No matter what, the gravediggers of Luohe City ate public food; although each person could only receive a mere two hundred copper coins per month, the government provided the grain, oil, rice, and flour.

Soon, Old Quezi finished cooking.

The two of them ate at an old Eight Immortals table in front of the wooden shack.

The preserved meat was fatty and lean, sliced thin and even, and a little garlic paste and aged vinegar immediately brought out the flavor.

Whether it was for drinking or eating, it was exceptionally appetizing; the only drawback was that there was too little of it, and Lin Feng finished it in a few bites.

After eating and drinking his fill, the sky was getting dark.

Lin Feng and Old Quezi returned to their rooms; the nights in the graveyard were not peaceful.

Basically, when they first arrived, the seniors warned them not to go out at night no matter what movement they heard.

After all, in this broken place, they specialized in burying those who died unnatural or tragic deaths, with no relatives and no family business, so even grave robbers wouldn't come here to find bad luck.

So if there was any movement at night, most of it was some weird event, so it was better to hide if they could.

Lin Feng lay on the short couch, thinking about last night's encounter, feeling tormented in his heart.

He could still clearly recall Dog Egg's encounter last night; no one knew if that terrifying thing would come again tonight?

At noon today, he gathered his courage to go to the grave mound where he buried the floating corpse yesterday, only to find that the corpse in the grave had disappeared.

The thing that could run out of the grave was definitely not an ordinary corpse transformation, but had turned into a ghost!

Time passed slowly while Lin Feng was in fear, and it wasn't until the rooster crowed the next day that he suddenly realized he had stayed awake all night.

"Dong~ dong~ dong~"

As the sky turned white, the dull funeral bell tolled again; there was no doubt that another gravedigger had died last night.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Immediately after, Old Quezi's urgent knocking sounded, and Lin Feng felt a bit dazed.

"What's wrong?"

Opening the door, Lin Feng looked at Old Quezi, who had an anxious expression, and asked.

"It's bad, it's bad, it must be an evil corpse!"

Old Quezi didn't answer his question but kept muttering, looking very anxious.

"Is it related to the bell just now?"

Lin Feng frowned and asked Old Quezi.

"What else could it be? Two people died in two days; it must be the same evil corpse causing trouble!"

"If this is transported to us, what should we do!"

Old Quezi was really anxious now; this kind of corpse basically killed whoever touched it, unless a master was invited or someone with a unique fate could suppress it.

"..."

Hearing this, Lin Feng's heart tightened; even though he had mastered two kinds of martial arts, he was still helpless against a real ghost.

Just as the two were in a state of confusion, bailiffs were slowly walking toward here with a donkey cart on the dirt road outside the wooden shack.

"If it really doesn't work, Dog Egg, you... sigh~"

Seeing this, Old Quezi's face changed, and he wanted to say something to Lin Feng.

But as if he suddenly thought of something, it finally turned into a helpless sigh.

"Don't worry, my fate is hard!"

Lin Feng knew that he probably couldn't escape this hurdle, because the two bailiffs were already here.

"I'll go deal with it first; if it really doesn't work, let this old man go, anyway, I don't have many days left to live..."

Old Quezi said in despair, then squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying and walked toward the bailiffs.

Lin Feng thought for a moment and also shouldered his hoe to follow; he had now become a gravedigger, and such things could not be avoided no matter what.

"There is a troublesome corpse here, you two drag it away and bury it!"

This time, the two bailiffs didn't have the casual expressions they had yesterday.

That solemn expression made Old Quezi swallow back the nice words he wanted to say.

Lin Feng stepped forward and immediately found that this corpse was different from the previous ones; the whole corpse was wearing old opera costumes, covered in a lot of mud, and the opera makeup on the corpse was still there.

There were no obvious wounds, no specific cause of death; there was no doubt that this corpse was problematic.

"What are you still standing there for! Hurry up!"

The two bailiffs saw Lin Feng stunned in place and urged him hurriedly.

Old Quezi opened his mouth to stop Lin Feng, but Lin Feng had already moved first.

"Okay."

Lin Feng grabbed the corpse's shoulders and immediately felt like he was grabbing raw iron, cold and bone-chilling.

However, the corpse had no special reaction, and Lin Feng dragged the corpse directly toward the open space in the graveyard.

Still digging a hole, then starting to bury the person.

But just as Lin Feng threw the corpse into the pit, the corpse suddenly moved!

Lin Feng's legs sprang, and his whole body soared into the air, while the hoe in his hand smashed down hard at the corpse.

"Bang~"

With a dull thud, the opera singer corpse fell directly into the pit.

Lin Feng hurriedly changed direction to fill the pit with soil, his hoe dancing like the wind. ===== CHAPTER 4 =====
