Bian Lang transmigrated to a Wuxia world, carrying a glass ball that could herd corpses. As long as he successfully herded a corpse, he would receive rewards.
"Successfully herded Luo Mo&...
The Joyful God Pavilion is a very special entity in the martial arts world.
Even if an ordinary person dies, if they wish to preserve their body permanently, they can ask a corpse transporter to send the body to the Xishen Pavilion.
According to custom, after a wanted criminal was beheaded, his body would be sewn up haphazardly and buried in a mass grave.
This time, the Xishen Pavilion suddenly sent a message to the Luoyang government office, hoping that the Xishen Pavilion could handle the corpses of these thirteen lecherous thieves.
Even the most arrogant and conceited prefect of Luoyang dared not offend the Xishen Pavilion and was preparing to issue a notice to recruit corpse drivers.
Bian Lang's sudden visit startled him quite a bit. He invited Bian Lang to sit down and have some tea before inquiring about the purpose of Bian Lang's visit.
He had previously tried to steal the reward money from Bian Lang and Shangguan Hongyu, but he was plagued by nightmares and even saw ghosts in broad daylight, which forced him to send someone to deliver the silver notes to them.
Sure enough, he slept very soundly the night the silver notes were delivered.
Right now, the people he least wants to see are Bian Lang and Shangguan Hongyu.
In the nightmare, Shangguan Hongyu held a sword and cut off all the flesh from his body, one cut at a time.
Even after the body turned into bones, it still had consciousness and could feel pain, which was truly terrifying.
As for Bian Lang, he felt like a vengeful ghost he encountered during the day, and also like the King of Hell who would come to claim his life after nightfall, making him even more terrifying.
"You want to transport corpses?" The prefect of Luoyang was quite shocked when he heard Bian Lang's purpose.
The clerk probably hadn't finished writing the notice seeking the corpse driver, let alone posted it.
How did Bian Lang find out?
Bian Lang nodded and smiled, "For this corpse-transporting service, I will only charge one hundred taels of silver."
"It is indeed cheap." The prefect of Luoyang was conflicted.
Sending those thirteen corpses to the Xishen Pavilion is of paramount importance and cannot be allowed to go wrong.
His best choice was a master from the Corpse-Driving Inn, but asking an elder-level master from the inn to help would cost an outrageously high fee.
Bian Lang offered only one hundred taels of silver as payment, which was much cheaper than the expert at the Corpse-Driving Inn.
"Sir, shall we post it now?" A middle-aged man dressed as a scholar entered, carrying a newly written notice.
When the prefect of Luoyang received the notice, he saw that the reward was at least a thousand taels of silver and felt a pang of heartache.
This is just the minimum; if the elders of the Corpse Transport Inn were to be mobilized, the number would likely be several times greater, since there are a total of thirteen corpses.
"Master, what do you think of this man?" The prefect of Luoyang was also at a loss for a decision.
The advisor looked at Bian Lang and laughed, "Young hero, you are so handsome and dashing, could you perhaps also be a corpse driver?"
Bian Lang clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, "I am Bian Lang, a corpse driver from Zhengyi Fortress."
"A rogue at the Fortress of Justice?" the advisor exclaimed in surprise.
With the remains of Luo Mo preceding him and the remains of Qiao Feng following him, the name Bian Lang of Zheng Yi Bao is now renowned throughout the martial arts world, known to all.
It is said that everyone knows it, but the prefect of Luoyang does not.
"Is this person very famous?" The prefect of Luoyang was also taken aback by the clerk's reaction.
The advisor laughed and said, "Sir, it is said that Master Mu Cheng of the Corpse-Driving Inn was also defeated by Master Bian. He drowned himself in the latrine out of shame. This story has spread throughout the martial arts world. While people are laughing at Master Mu Cheng's incompetence, they are also amazed by Master Bian's strength."
In the business of corpse transport, the Corpse Transport Inn is practically the only dominant player.
Now, Bian Lang's sudden emergence has made the Corpse Transport Inn pale in comparison.
"Then can these thirteen corpses be handed over to Bian... Master?" The prefect of Luoyang had not expected that Bian Lang was such a famous figure.
The advisor said, "Master Bian will definitely be able to deliver the body safely."
“But this reward…” The prefect of Luoyang looked at Bian Lang.
Bian Lang smiled and said, "Still one hundred taels."
"It's incredibly cheap!" The advisor urged the prefect of Luoyang to stop hesitating.
With just a little manipulation of the accounts, we can really make money this time.
Bian Lang took the silver, along with thirteen corpses, and set off that very night.
Bian Lang had Tian Boguang's corpse cover their retreat, and Lu Suzhen's corpse follow behind him. He could see her beauty whenever he turned around, which was quite pleasing to the eye.
The mortician hired by the government office wasn't very skilled; Bian Lang felt that Tian Boguang's head was shaking violently and could fall off at any moment.
That night, while resting at the inn where corpses were transported, he took out his needle and thread again to secure the object.
Unlike the remains of Luo Mo and Qiao Feng, no one in the martial arts world was interested in these thirteen corpses.
Based on his pace, he should be able to reach Xishen Pavilion in less than two months.
The deadlines given by Corpse Brother are always very generous, so even if something goes wrong along the way, there is enough time to deal with it.
...
"Master, Bian Lang has already left Luoyang and is heading towards Xishen Pavilion." The round-faced Taoist who spoke had once followed Master Mu Cheng to Xiangyang City, but Qiao Feng's body was stolen by Bian Lang, and Master Mu Cheng also died in the latrine, causing the Corpse Transport Inn to lose face.
If the Corpse Transport Inn wants to regain its reputation, the first thing it needs to do is get rid of Bian Lang.
A Taoist priest in a yellow robe stood on a high place, gazing into the distance.
This person is Master Mu Cheng's senior brother, and also the law enforcement elder of the Corpse-Driving Inn, known in the martial arts world as "Flying Monkey King" Master Mu Feng.
Master Mu Feng and Master Mu Cheng were always on good terms. Upon learning of Master Mu Cheng's death, Master Mu Feng immediately set off for Xiangyang to handle the funeral arrangements.
He knew Master Mu Cheng well. No matter how many setbacks he encountered, Master Mu Cheng would never commit suicide, much less drown himself in a latrine.
The people who killed Master Mucheng must have been Bian Lang and Shangguan Hongyu.
Shangguan Hongyu is the lord of Zhengyi Fortress, and the Corpse-Driving Inn cannot touch her for the time being.
But Bian Lang was just a carefree corpse driver; killing him would not allow Master Mu Cheng to rest in peace.
After arranging Master Mu Cheng's funeral, Master Mu Feng sent his disciples to inquire about Bian Lang's recent whereabouts.
After Bian Lang brought Qiao Feng's body to Luoyang, he stayed there.
A group of lecherous thieves held a flower-picking party in Luoyang, causing panic among the city's residents.
Little did anyone know what kind of supernatural power Bian Lang possessed that allowed him to eliminate those thirteen lecherous thieves in one night, not only obtaining a large reward but also driving the thirteen corpses to the Joyful God Pavilion, where he could make another fortune.
The Corpse-Transporting Inn has always been adept at making money, but this time, compared to Bian Lang, it has completely fallen behind.
Master Mufeng believed that everything would improve once Bianlang was eliminated.
"Where is Ghost Third Sister?" Master Mu Feng turned around, his face, under the moonlight, was pockmarked and extremely ugly.
The round-faced Taoist priest said, "We've already gone to chase after Bian Lang."
"That madman..." Master Mu Feng urged everyone to hurry on their way.
Master Mu Cheng's martial arts skills are no less than Master Mu Feng's, so for the sake of safety, Master Mu Feng invited Gui San Niang.
Gui San Niang is a master of poisons, but she's not very bright. Once she goes mad, she completely loses control.
Master Mufeng only wanted to kill Bian Lang and didn't want to make a big fuss. If Gui Sanniang's poison affected the nearby people, it would be difficult to clean up the mess.
If people in the martial arts world were to find out that the Corpse-Driving Inn was colluding with Ghost Third Sister, the inn's reputation would be completely ruined and would be difficult to recover.
This time, even if that guy had nine lives, it wouldn't be enough for him to die.
