375 Corpse Walker
It's so tiring, my waist is about to break!"My brother smirked and said, "You can blame me for your legs almost being broken, but you should blame your husband for your waist almost being broken! He's...The door to the Gluttonous Wolf's room was plastered with a "符" by Cheng Banxian. On it were Cheng Banxian's crooked, large three characters:
"Get out of here!"
I can't disturb them like this.
I don't want to go in and see Cheng Banxian reveal his true face. He should be more afraid of being seen by others, too.
Tai Bao pushed me into the baby's room and said goodbye, claiming he was going to meet up with his underworld connections. He said many people were eagerly awaiting his news.
"There's no other way, now that only Little Madam is in the mortal realm, everyone relies on me to get first-hand information. I still have to eat this bowl of rice..."
After seeing Dabao off, I went to comfort Yu Gui and You Nan. Luckily, thanks to the golden heavy lotus blossoms that the two great deities who visited earlier had given them, they remained unharmed when they fell into the black blood mire of the Corpse Swamp.
But if there were no Lobo, where would they go I truly can't imagine.
Sithu probably didn't expect that the one who caused trouble was actually an ordinary human child. The boy looked tall and imposing, but he was only eleven years old. He usually didn't talk much, had a fierce appearance, and no one expected this child to have such courage and character.
I didn't breastfeed all night, and my breasts were soaked with milk. When my mother saw it, she immediately urged me to drain them, repeatedly warning me to suck out all the painful, full milk and pour it away. She said that if the milk went back in, it would be very difficult to draw it out again. Before the poison on my leg was removed, I had to breastfeed frequently so that the two babies wouldn't run out of food later.
This topic is really awkward. Even if Uncle Chengsu studies forensic science, it's not appropriate to say this in front of him.
This time, Grandma was quite frightened and became suspicious and overwrought. She wouldn't even let the children sleep in their cribs; instead, she tied them up in swaddles with cords fastened to her own waist while they slept.
"Mom, you don't have to be so nervous," Uncle Cheng Su advised.
"You don't understand! That little animal will definitely come back to steal my precious baby!" Grandma glared at my uncle with red eyes, "You give me more police officers to patrol this area!"
"Well... but these two little treasures are protected by celestial powers, they'll definitely be safe and sound. Don't worry so much, you're going to wear yourself out with anxiety! What if you become neurotic"
“Don’t worry if nothing happened!” Grandma slapped her uncle a few times. “I almost got a heart attack! You unfilial little scoundrel! Why don’t you get married and have children I only have these two great-grandsons now! Maybe I’ll only ever see these two great-grandsons in my life! I… I…”
My grandma is very traditional. When she talks about being worried, she starts to cry, calling her precious grandchildren by name and going to pat them as they sleep.
My uncle gave me a wink, and we slipped out to talk in my room.
"Xiao Qiao, has your husband come back" Uncle asked with a frown.
"No, all contact with the underworld is now severed. I can't even summon a ghost messenger. Living people tell me their yin attendants can't get in touch either. Not even the Land God or City God appear."
Uncle whispered, "The provincial government has received a secret order to thoroughly investigate all religious sites in the province to prevent any infiltration by cult members."
"The high-level officials' actions temporarily cut off the incense from the immortal world and the underworld. This is also a reason why we can't get in touch. Of course, it's also possible that your husband used divine powers to minimize the damage caused by the corpse demon and pulled its space into the underworld! Then they severed the connection between the two realms. Whether it's corpses, demons, or soul refinement, they are all dealt with in the underworld!"
I frowned, worry creasing my brow: “Uncle, why is the Corpse Demon so difficult to eliminate Si Tu Lin said something about needing to obliterate it with his remaining magical power... I'm very worried about him!”
Uncle Cheng Su smiled, "It's good to be worried. I thought you were so calm and collected, thinking you had everything under control, but it turns out you were putting on a show."
From outside the door came my brother's voice: "Don't be ridiculous, Xiao Qiao has never been well-prepared. Don't look at her full figure, there isn't even a single bamboo."
This guy, he just loves to criticize me.
I glared at my brother and whispered, "You left Miss Lin alone in the room so quickly"
My brother quickly put on a vest: "What's the hurry It's been an hour already. You said enough about being gentle. Do you think she's like your wife... Besides, she didn't sleep all night and kept crying. After what happened, her eyes were so swollen she couldn't even open them. I just let her sleep for a bit... where were we Uncle."
Uncle Chengsu smiled wickedly, "Well done Yunfan, you've grown up, learned to bring women home instead of going to hotels and messing around."
It's true, my brother doesn't seem to have taken Ms. Lin to a hotel yet. Both times, he just brought her back to his own room, and even let her nap there. Hmph, on the surface, he seems so distant, but actually, he's quite different towards Ms. Lin, isn't he
》》》
With my brother here, the level of analysis for situations is much higher. I only need to listen quietly.
Uncle's guess might be right, Jiang Qiyun could indeed do such a thing.
"Xiao Qiao didn't you say that those black pus and corpses seemed to be sucked away by a vortex Maybe Jiang Qiyun cast a spell to drag the whole space into the underworld" My brother looked at me.
I nodded. At that moment, there was something else important—I heard the roar of a behemoth in my ear.
"What kind of beast was it Did you see it" my brother asked.
I shook my head. "The sound was like the roar of a tiger or lion, deafening and earth-shattering. I thought the ceiling would collapse...Didn't you hear it from the roadside"
My brother shook his head. "I didn't hear anything... It seems like you're the only one who heard it... Could it be Jiang Qiyun's people Like that old woman last time"
"It shouldn't be, I didn't see any behemoths... I was almost insane back then, my mind filled with the incantation of the vow of devotion, yet I had no idea which esteemed deity to beseech for help."
Uncle suddenly spoke up, "Could it be the sacred beast of Taiyi Divine Didn't the two babies have talismans given by Taiyi Divine"
Yep, that's definitely possible!
My older brother waved his hand and said, "This doesn't matter, as long as the baby is okay. Oh well, if all of us adults can't even keep two children safe, then we'd truly shame the Mu family!"
"...Uncle, how is Mrs. Ma doing" I remembered this.
Uncle said that Old Lady Ma's side had always been more stable, the Corpse Demon hadn't made a move from there, but in the end, that last section of wood still cracked open with a fissure, as if it couldn't contain what was inside, oozing out a lot of black pus.
I reckon the gargantuan beast's roar shook the Swamp of Corpses, churning it like boiling water. That's when a crack appeared near Old Madam Ma's side, spewing out black blood.
“The Qingyu Dao Guan and Puji Temple area has been sealed off by the police, with roadblocks in place. As for the Tong Xuan Hui headquarters, since it's located within the city, deploying troops would be difficult due to potential public attention. So we have implemented a lockdown and surveillance there, preventing anyone inside from entering or leaving freely.” Uncle said.
“Then can we go have a look”
"Sure, but you'll need to put on a protective suit."
"Good!" I nodded.
My brother yelled, “What’s good! First, get the poison out of your legs before you run around! Brother Long has replied and will be here soon—”atch a chill.""...It's nothing, who is outside" I asked worriedly.I don't know either… The village head said it was a big shot who wanted to see the young master... Oh, no, I mean the master.Who's in...
