Chapter 9: Thousand Miles of Ghost Corpses in the Sky
“The spiritual vision is intensifying…”

Yang He’s pupils were dilated and he tried his best to control his expression.

He was afraid of attracting the ghost’s gaze, so he only dared to look around through the ghost’s pupils. He could feel that the town was once again undergoing a change that subverted his cognition.

When the scene came into view, Yang He couldn’t help but stand there in a daze.

Ghost Eye was also afraid.

If the main world of 1 point of spiritual vision is an endless hell where humans and ghosts coexist, then the main world of 10 points of spiritual vision is already nakedly stating a fact…

What you see is just the tip of the iceberg.

Flocks of sparrows flew by, and among them there were bird ghosts with human faces; the portrait posted on the door had a hideous grin on its face; and a dozen arms stretched out from the puddles on the roadside.

boom.

Yang He shuddered all over.

A ten-meter-long ghost shadow as slender as a spider was walking in Peibai City.

If Yang He had not continuously activated the Qi-gazing technique, the ghost’s pupils would have closed at this moment. When had this country ghost from the world of allusions ever seen such a scene?

The man and the ghost looked up at the sky, and their worldview collapsed again.

Yang He finally saw… the great terror from the abyss.

It is also the source of the warning in the message, just like a ghost or god of immortals and Buddhas!!!

Against the backdrop of the setting sun, a giant ghost corpse floated in the clouds, and countless ghosts were born from its flesh and blood and landed on the ground at all times.

The giant ghost corpse spanned thousands of miles, covering the sky and the sun.

Its chest and abdomen were open, with twenty-four mountain-like ribs arranged outward.

The rotten organs still have life, but the only thing missing is the heart.

“Damn it! Damn it!”

“Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this world?!”

Yang He breathed heavily, and closed his ghost pupils after his spiritual vision dropped to 13.4 points. Then he tried his best to clear his mind and not let his thoughts go crazy.

He couldn’t help but feel fortunate that his previous life was from the technological age.

In his previous life, there were endless realistic-looking TV and film dramas, which made Yang He’s psychological threshold far beyond the ordinary, so he barely avoided completely losing control.

“At present, the giant ghost corpse will not pose much danger.”

Yang He couldn’t attract attention even when looking directly at the giant ghost corpse. Facing such a huge monster, he was just a drop in the ocean.

He summoned the panel and used his psychic vision to glimpse some information about the giant ghost corpse.

【Wenquxingjun】

“It is indeed him, the God of Literature appointed by Jiang Ziya!”

Yang He didn’t know much about The Investiture of the Gods, and he only remembered Wenquxingjun [Bigan] based on the image of the giant ghost corpse.

Bigan was the uncle of King Zhou and one of the few loyal ministers in the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

In the original work, Daji forced Bigan to cut his stomach and remove his heart. Bigan used the talisman water given by Jiang Ziya to stay alive, but still died of the lack of a heart.

But in the end, Bigan was named Wenquxingjun by Jiang Ziya.

Yang He showed a bitter expression. It was very likely that not only Bigan, but all the immortals and gods listed in the List of Gods had turned into ghosts and gods in the main world.

The reason is unknown, but it’s chilling just to think about it.

“The Ghost List has come true. When Jiang Ziya was enthroning the dead, there were more dead people than living people. It’s fucking weird!”

Yang He became numb, half-squinting his eyes and ignoring everything unusual.

He did not continue into the world of allusion.

It takes time for the lotus seeds to recover, so the few remaining chances must be preserved.

If he encounters danger, Yang He can take advantage of the fact that time in the main world stops and temporarily hide in the world of allusions to seek a chance to break out.

Yang He sat on the steps in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

dong dong dong.

A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts.

Yang He came to his senses and noticed a constable standing outside the door.

The constable was about thirty years old, wearing a slightly whitish uniform. He came to the remote location of the mud house on purpose.

“Are you…Uncle Zhang?” “You have some good sense.”

Zhang Huayue walked into the courtyard with a smile and looked Yang He up and down. “Yang San is so filthy, but he gave birth to a handsome boy like you. If my daughter hadn’t married early, maybe…”

Yang He smiled awkwardly and did not answer. Zhang Huayue and his father and son were from the same hometown, all from Hu Village in Jialiang Water Town.

Old man Yang was able to settle down in Peibai thanks to Zhang Huayue’s help.

“Hmm, what does it smell like?”

“Uncle Zhang, there seem to be dead cats and dogs in the well, and it stinks. My father has gone to the next well to fetch water, and will be back soon.”

While Yang He was speaking, he was observing Zhang Huayue.

As your clairvoyance improves, your perception of ghosts becomes more acute.

There is definitely something fishy going on with Zhang Huayue.

Yang He couldn’t tell what the ghost was. The ghost was attached to Zhang Huayue’s spine, like a long white bone snake, tightly entangled with the spine.

I thought that since the constable also practiced martial arts, there should be a hungry ghost in his body. It seems that their methods are different.

Zhang Huayue smelled a fishy stench and quickly leaned over to check the well.

Yang He raised his eyebrows, and the ghost bones in Zhang Huayue’s spine began to move.

He was not sure whether Zhang Huayue knew about the existence of ghosts. Logically speaking, there must be military men who were aware of the possession of hungry ghosts, and it was impossible for the government to be completely unaware of it.

But Zhang Huayue didn’t act like that.

If the government offices are kept in the dark, who will stop the evildoers?
Is it true that the barrier between humans and ghosts is so difficult to break?
“Ahe, it’s okay.”

Most of the negative energy brought by the hungry ghosts had dissipated, so Zhang Huayue naturally didn’t notice anything strange.

“Ahe, go to the pharmacy and get a prescription for insecticide. Just sprinkle it into the well for a few days.”

“Also, be more careful recently.”

Zhang Huayue’s words became stern. “A criminal with great martial arts skills escaped from prison. His name is Song Zhi. Several people in the government office were killed or injured. There were also murders in the city.”

“Thank you, Uncle Zhang, for the reminder.”

When Yang He heard the words “highly skilled in martial arts”, he felt inexplicably nervous.

At the same time, I also find it strange that the government has a practice method that is different from the hungry ghost martial arts, but there is no apparent drawback at all.

“Uncle Zhang, would you like to come in and sit down?”

“no need.”

Zhang Huayue smiled and said, “Ask your father to the kitchen of the government office to ask. A cook who was in charge of preparing meals died unexpectedly, and the new cook happened to be unfamiliar with the prices of seasonal vegetables at the market.”

He left in a hurry, and Yang He couldn’t help but sigh at the benefits of having someone in government.

With Zhang Huayue’s suggestion, Old Man Yang might really be able to take over the kitchen business, and cooperating with the government office would be a stable job.

Not long after Yang He saw Zhang Huayue off, Old Man Yang arrived late.

Yang He was still hesitating whether to tell his father, but it turned out that the old man had already known about the strife in the government office, which was why he had just chatted with others for a few more words. He just didn’t expect that someone would die in the kitchen.

Old man Yang has already realized the wealth potential there.

“Ahe, you are sweating all over. Stay home and rest tomorrow. I will go to the kitchen of the government office by myself. This is almost certain.”

“I’ll listen to you, Dad.”

Yang He agreed readily. The threat of the hungry ghost was following him like a shadow, so he couldn’t be distracted.

He suspected that the hungry ghost was already starving and would definitely come to his house to claim his life tonight.

“I’ll go cook! When the business is settled, we’ll have a drink together!”

“Don’t forget to treat Uncle Zhang to a drink.”

“Yes, yes, yes. If it weren’t for the fact that your uncle Zhang’s daughter had already been married…”

Yang He curled his lips helplessly, but it also diluted the chill that penetrated deep into his bones.

After a simple meal, the father and son went back to their rooms to rest.

The earthen house was not large, and the two side rooms were cleared out from the utility room. In order to take care of Yang He, Old Man Yang specially gave up the room near the window.

Yang He carefully moved the bed so that it was facing the courtyard.

He blew out the candle and fell into silence under the starry sky.
