Bian Lang casually tossed out a talisman.
The talisman transformed into a golden light and struck Master Zhu squarely between the eyebrows.
Maggots burst open.
The black mist dissipated.
Master Zhu collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The girl in the green dress, who had been standing to the side in a daze, also vomited a bunch of maggots from her mouth and collapsed unconscious.
The Zhu residence had many servants, all of whom were controlled by that maggot.
Bian Lang saved everyone from dire straits with just one talisman.
After regaining consciousness, many people, including the girl in the green dress, were completely bewildered and couldn't remember why they were in the Zhu residence.
Master Zhu instructed his servants to begin preparations for his beloved son's funeral and personally led Bian Lang to the Zhu family ancestral hall.
The Zhu Family Ancestral Hall is very large, and it enshrines the ancestors of the Zhu family. The sheer number of ancestral tablets is truly enviable.
However, there was one thing on the altar that seemed out of place.
Jade Pixiu.
Pixiu can ward off evil spirits and protect the home, but if placed improperly, it will only bring misfortune.
After the incident at home, the first thing that came to Mr. Zhu's mind was this jade Pixiu.
He came to the ancestral hall intending to smash the jade Pixiu, but as soon as he got close, insects crawled out of the Pixiu's mouth, and then he knew nothing more.
A Pixiu made of jade will definitely not breed strange insects.
Master Zhu was tricked.
About a year ago, the Zhu family's business encountered significant problems.
Despite racking his brains and trying every possible method, Mr. Zhu was unable to improve his business.
It was at that time that a master came to the house, performed a ritual, and left behind a jade Pixiu, which was enshrined in the ancestral hall.
Strangely enough, from that day on, all sorts of good things began to happen.
Not only did Mr. Zhu successfully turn his losses into profits, but he was also making a fortune every day in no time.
Within just a few months, the business grew so large that the young master of the Zhu family had to travel to other places to run errands.
However, disaster struck at that time. Before reaching his destination, Young Master Zhu encountered bandits and tragically lost his life.
The Zhu family's business also began to suffer setbacks in many ways.
Upon learning of his beloved son's death, Master Zhu fell seriously ill. Just as his health began to improve, he was again controlled by a strange insect.
The root of all this is that jade Pixiu.
"Master Bian, I know you have extraordinary abilities. Could you help me get rid of this jade Pixiu? I will reward you handsomely." Master Zhu no longer has any great ambitions; he only hopes that his family can live a peaceful and prosperous life for the rest of his days.
Bian Lang laughed and said, "There's no need for a generous reward. Just give me this jade Pixiu, Master Zhu."
"It's great that Master Bian is willing to take this evil thing away, but I don't quite understand what Master Bian wants this evil thing for?" Master Zhu was happy but also had doubts.
Bian Lang said, "As long as I take it away, the Zhu family will be spared from disaster."
Master Zhu nodded and stopped asking questions. Getting rid of this ominous creature was far more important than satisfying his curiosity.
Bian Lang took out a piece of red cloth from his pocket, wrapped the jade Pixiu in it, received the money for the corpse-driving from Master Zhu, and left the Zhu residence.
Each time I finish transporting corpses, I get to rest for a few days. I can take this time to thoroughly investigate this jade Pixiu.
Even after driving corpses in the human world for ten thousand years and experiencing all sorts of interesting things, Bian Lang can still get interested whenever he encounters something like this.
Otherwise, it's unlikely that we could have lasted this long.
Besides, there are still over 80,000 years left on the agreement with the Corpse Brother. If you want to live a good life, you have to learn to find fun.
"You're secretly following me because you want to repay me with your body?" Bian Lang suddenly stopped in his tracks.
The girl in the green dress, who had been secretly following Bian Lang, walked over awkwardly, her hands clasped together.
"I have nowhere to go, young master, can you take me in?" The girl in the green dress asked shyly, her voice barely audible.
Bian Lang quipped, "You could make a living by stealing corpses."
"I had no choice but to do it..." The girl in the green dress began, tears welling up in her eyes, her voice choked with sobs.
The girl in the green dress then burst into tears, saying that she had been coerced into trying to steal the corpse.
After a plague struck her hometown, her parents died, and then a famine broke out. She had no choice but to take her six-year-old brother and beg for a living.
After arriving in this water town, a villain kidnapped her henchman and forced her to steal corpses everywhere.
If she doesn't steal ten corpses within a month, the villain will kill her underlings.
She had already stolen nine bodies, just one short, but she stumbled at Bian Lang's hands.
Bian Lang sat down at a roadside noodle stall, ordered two bowls of noodles, and asked with a smile, "So you followed me because you want me to rescue your brother?"
"As long as Master Bian can save my brother, Linlang will do anything for him without complaint," the girl in the green dress said, about to kneel down before Bian Lang.
Bian Lang raised his hand and used his inner strength to help Lin Lang sit down on the stool opposite him. He then turned his head and called out, "Boss, make this young lady a bowl of noodles too."
Having eaten and drunk their fill, Bian Lang, driven by a chivalrous spirit, followed Lin Lang to the place where the villains were.
According to Linlang, the villain built a temple on a desolate mountain outside the town and caused a lot of trouble, which frightened the surrounding people into going to the temple to offer incense.
Linlang's younger brother suffers from a serious illness. She went to the temple to make a wish because she heard that the gods there were particularly efficacious.
If she had known that temple was like hell, she definitely wouldn't have gone.
Linlang always adopted a weak and vulnerable demeanor, speaking in a soft and pitiful voice.
But Bian Lang didn't believe a word she said.
Are there really such evil people who would resort to such means to coerce a vulnerable woman into stealing a corpse?
If you want to lie, you at least need to come up with a plausible reason.
When Bian Lang first arrived in this martial arts world, he felt terrified whenever he thought of the highly skilled martial arts masters in novels and TV shows, so he acted with extreme caution.
