Chapter 39 Ghost Baby Loves Her Mother

I stood in front of the coffin, staring blankly at the female corpse in the coffin, with shock in my eyes.

At this moment, Miao Cuicui didn't look like a dead person at all. Lying in the coffin, she looked lifelike in her red wedding dress, even a hundred times, a thousand times more beautiful than after marriage.

In particular, there were two faint blushes on her cheeks, and her thin lips seemed to be painted with lipstick. The color was like a ripe cherry, very tempting.

Moreover, even though she was sealed in corpse oil amber, her eyelashes were still clearly visible. In a trance, I seemed to feel her eyelashes shaking slightly, as if she would open her eyes and wake up from her sleep at any time.

How could this be a dead body? This is clearly a sleeping beauty!

I swallowed my saliva with a gulp, and then murmured in my heart: "Did Miao Cuicui die not long ago, or has she been dead for a long time? If she has just died, her current appearance is indeed fine, but if she has been dead for a long time, but her body has not decayed after death and still maintains the appearance before death, does it mean that she has been haunted?" But

then I shook my head again.

If Miao Cuicui was really haunting, then I should be able to feel the smell of a corpse or a sinister aura at this moment, but there was no other smell in the room except the disgusting smell of corpse oil.

"But...what does it mean to seal her with corpse oil? Does Liu Quezi really want to make Miao Cuicui a living corpse?"

From the conversation between Liu Quezi and Liu Laosan just now, we can draw a conclusion that Liu Quezi is indeed not just a coffin maker, he is actually a disciple of the corpse-raising lineage.

The so-called corpse-raising is a group of people who specialize in raising corpses for a living. They not only raise corpses, but are also extremely good at controlling corpses.

The origin of the corpse-raising lineage is very early. In ancient times, their status was very low and they belonged to the lowest level of working people.

Because of the frequent wars in ancient times, there were very few males and a shortage of labor. Some low-level practitioners came up with a way to manipulate corpses to work and earn money. Corpses are tireless and feel no pain. They can work day and night without rest. Even the government had a close relationship with corpse keepers at that time, and often hired them to do things that were inconvenient for the government.

I even saw a record in a Taoist book that an emperor of a certain dynasty ascended the throne too late. When he ascended the throne, he was already very old. It would definitely be too late to build the imperial mausoleum according to the normal progress. Then a court official suggested to the emperor that he could find a corpse keeper to help.

Later, the minister was in charge of this matter, and he actually summoned tens of thousands of corpse keepers.

Each corpse keeper could control several corpses. In this way, after five years of sleepless work on tens of thousands of corpses, the imperial mausoleum was finally built

. However, it is recorded in the classics that the emperor had five more years to live, but because corpses were used in the construction of the imperial mausoleum, which violated the moral code, he died almost on the day the mausoleum was completed.

After that, the court issued a strict order that corpse keepers were no longer allowed. The government even secretly arrested many corpse keepers, and most of them were beheaded.

But as the saying goes, weeds can never be completely burned, and spring breezes will bring them back to life. Nothing can be completely eradicated, not only insects, but also those evil ways.

Although most corpse keepers died in the arrests of the government, many still fled to the northwest and settled there, and the art of corpse keeping was passed down from generation to generation.

However, most corpse keepers are active in the northwest, but we are in the northeast. Why did that corpse keeper come to us in the first place? And why did he accept Liu Quezi as his apprentice?

I looked at Miao Cuicui in the coffin and had a lot of random thoughts. But at this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew from behind me. The cold wind was biting, and for some reason, it blew only on the back of my neck, as if... there was someone behind me, blowing on my neck on purpose.

Hu Zi couldn't be so boring, but if it wasn't Hu Zi, who could it be?

I couldn't help swallowing my saliva, but the next moment my eyelids suddenly jumped, and even my heart trembled again and again.

Because just at that moment, I suddenly heard a... baby's laughter.

"Giggle..."

The crisp laughter came into my ears. The laughter was so innocent, but at this moment, it was so creepy.

I froze in place, cold sweat broke out all of a sudden, and even the hairs on my body stood up.

Because I was nervous, I clenched my hands tightly together, and then I held my breath and slowly turned my head...

I moved very slowly, for fear of angering the thing behind me. When I turned my head and saw the thing behind me clearly, I was immediately shocked.

It was indeed that ghost baby!

I saw a big head hanging upside down above my head, pouting and blowing air on my shoulders. When I turned my head and found it, it grinned, revealing a mouthful of barbed fangs, and laughed at me.

My God, this scene was too horrible. Even though I had prepared myself mentally before turning around, it was still difficult to suppress the deepest fear in my heart. I almost screamed subconsciously and stepped back.

But behind me was the corpse coffin. In panic, I bumped into the coffin and almost fell into it.

I held the coffin and stood there stiffly, not daring to move.

But the ghost baby suddenly changed its expression, and its eyes, which were flashing with strange black light, stared at my hands holding the coffin, and then it opened its mouth and growled at me with a warning.

"What does it mean?" I was a little suspicious, thinking to myself, "Is it... warning me to leave this coffin?"

With this thought, I stared at it with a vigilant look, and slowly moved away from the coffin.

Almost the moment I left the coffin, the ghost baby leaped directly onto the coffin lid. It first looked at me with its eyes full of resentment, then stuck its butt out and stuck its head into the coffin.

"What is it doing? Is it checking Miao Cuicui's body?" I was confused, but the next moment, the ghost baby suddenly pulled its head back, then opened its mouth and made a series of extremely irritable sounds.

It seemed extremely angry, and its ghost claws were scratching and digging at the amber in the coffin, as if it wanted to dig Miao Cuicui out of the amber.

After seeing this scene, I frowned and thought that what the master said was right. Judging from the various actions of this ghost baby, it is indeed very attached to its mother.

I sighed, thinking that if even a ghost baby is like this, why shouldn't normal children be the same? I

can only say that maternal love is so great. No matter what your child looks like, maternal love will be infinitely tolerant. Even if the child you give birth to is not a "human", the mother will fulfill her responsibilities as a mother and give it the warmth it deserves.

It's just strange, why did this ghost baby dig out Miao Cuicui? Did it simply not want its mother to be hurt, or... did it want to drink breast milk?

The ghost baby dug faster and faster, and the debris of corpse oil was dug all over the ground, but its expression became more and more irritable. In the end, it seemed to be anxious, and its mouth opened to an incredible degree, and it let out a low roar, and then suddenly turned its head and looked at me with a face full of resentment.

Its eyes were filled with hatred, as if I had some deep hatred for it. I even saw a hint of cold murderous intent in its dark pupils.

"It... doesn't it think that I was the one who sealed Miao Cuicui in the corpse oil? Damn, I don't want to take the blame for this!" I cursed in my heart.

Almost as soon as I thought of this, I heard a strange cry of "Wow", and then, the ghost baby suddenly jumped up like a toad, pushing the coffin board with its limbs, opened its mouth wide and rushed towards me.
