I've been a courier for over three years, delivering many bizarre packages. Now, I'm here to tell you about some little-known incidents involving the delivery of human ashes!
That day...
Su Xiaoniu said lazily, "She has inhaled too much corpse gas and is already unconscious. It's useless to call her like that."
I asked anxiously, “What should I do then?”
Su Xiaoniu said calmly, "There's no other way except to kill the Loulan King, extract the corpse pill from his body, and give it to her. But we have to do it as soon as possible. The corpse qi has already entered her body to a very deep stage. In two days, she will be a corpse. By then, even if a god came, she wouldn't be able to save her."
I took a deep breath. This meant I had to kill the Loulan King to save Xuanxuan. But this Loulan King wasn't Huo Yan; he was thousands of years old. Even the thousand-year-old corpse was probably just a minor figure in front of him.
I have already experienced the power of the thousand-year-old corpse. I can say that I don’t want to experience it again. So, what means should I use to defeat the King of Loulan?
Just as I was pondering this, the Loulan King's gruff voice suddenly rang out, "Boy! Who are you? How dare you stop me from taking a concubine? Are you tired of living?"
A solitary king? I was stunned. What era is this? And then it dawned on me. Damn, could it be that the King of Loulan still has the same thoughts as in the chaotic ancient times?
Su Xiaoniu reminded me, "The King of Loulan has only recently awakened from his long sleep. He probably doesn't know what era it is yet, and his consciousness is still stuck in the moment when he was the King of Loulan. If that's the case, then there's a way to deal with him."
I was busy and asked what I could do. Su Xiaoniu said mysteriously, "The King of Loulan has been dead for at least three thousand years, but his coffin is still pristine. If I'm not mistaken, he's a kind of mummy, or a corpse ghost. What are corpse ghosts most afraid of?"
I shook my head. I had only seen ghosts like dung-eating ghosts, cocoon ghosts, dead souls, ghost slaves, and corpses. I had some ways to deal with them, but I really didn't know anything about this corpse ghost.
Su Xiaoniu said calmly, "Mummies are different from child corpses. Child corpses no longer have a physical body; their pure spirit clings to their bones. Normally, they're not afraid of anything, with their only weakness being maternal love. Mummies, however, are different. Mummies are most afraid of fire, while ghosts are most afraid of peach wood, but mummies aren't afraid of peach wood. And now, the King of Loulan is a corpse ghost, so he's afraid of both fire and peach wood. Do you understand what to do?"
I nodded. Su Xiaoniu's words instantly boosted my confidence. No matter how old this Loulan King was, he still had weaknesses. I immediately put away the Three Purities Bell and slowly pulled out the untouched Tianpeng Ruler from my backpack. In this gloomy and corpse-filled environment, the Tianpeng Ruler actually glowed with a faint, dark red luster.
The brothel owner, who was still beating the treasures in the golden coffin beside the dragon pillar, seemed to come back to her senses as soon as she saw me take out the Tianpeng ruler, and her eyes moved from the golden coffin to me.
The moment I took out the Tianpeng Ruler, the King of Loulan's scarlet pupils suddenly shrank, as if he had seen something terrifying. Then, he roared, "How dare you! How dare you attack me? Come on, capture him!"
As soon as he gave the order, there was a constant "wuwuwu" sound around him, and those ghost slaves in white clothes flashed over and surrounded me.
Don't even mention it, I was terrified. Being stared at and spun around by a bunch of faceless ghosts, surrounded by so many ghost slaves at once, I've been playing for so long, when have I ever fought so many ghosts? This was my first time, so it was inevitable that I was a little excited.
Excited as I was, I watched these ghost slaves stare at me for a few seconds before suddenly charging towards me. Their speed was incredibly fast, blindingly fast, and yet it was completely useless to me. With my clairvoyance open, I could see their directions and strange arcs clearly.
Bang!
A golden talisman was decisively pasted on, and the golden light spread out instantly. Suddenly, I heard a scream of "Ahhhhhh". The ghost slaves who had just rushed in front of me and grabbed me with a claw turned into a stream of corpse gas and turned into ashes.
The King of Loulan was furious when he saw me. He pointed at me and cursed, "You daring and unruly person! Let me meet you!"
