MTL - Demon Slayer Starts From the Proficiency Panel-Chapter 17 [017] corpse

   Chapter 17 [017] Corpse

  Liu Fu is a watchman in Wendeng County. He goes out to watch every night at midnight, shouting 'The weather is dry and things are dry, be careful with the candles' is his job.

   A few nights ago, he went out for a shift as usual, and his family didn't pay much attention to it, but he never thought that Liu Fu, who came home after the third watch, seemed to be a different person, and his behavior was extremely abnormal.

  According to Liu Fu’s wife Liu Shi, this man smiled strangely when he entered the house, and made a strange sound of ‘Jie Jie Jie’, which was especially horrifying.

   From time to time, he would also murmur some horrific and weird words like 'the water is so cold' and 'you come with me'.

   The whole family was a little creepy when they saw it, as if they were no longer the relatives of the past, but a stranger who looked exactly like Liu Fu.

   That night, before going to sleep, Liu Fu came to the well in the courtyard to draw water and wash his face. After a long period of silence, Mrs. Liu walked out of the house in puzzlement, only to be greeted by Liu Fu's disappearance.

   She searched the whole yard, and even went out to look around, but found no trace of Liu Fu.

  Liu felt strange in her heart, but since she was used to the ordinary life, she didn't take it to heart. She just said that Liu Fu had something to do temporarily and went out before he had time to say a word to his family.

  I never imagined that the last time tonight would be forever.

   The next day, the Liu family learned from their neighbors that Liu Fu's body was floating on the Changxia River.

"Master, Brother Afu, he died wrongly. He doesn't like drinking alcohol on weekdays, and he is proficient in water. ." Speaking of the emotional part, Liu Shi couldn't help wiping away tears and said in a trembling voice.

  Fang Ping nodded with a serious expression: "I see, if it's like what you said, this matter is indeed very bizarre."

   Liu hurriedly said: "Master, everything I said is true, not a word is deceiving you."

   "Excuse me, can Liu Fu's coffin be covered? Is it convenient for us to check the condition of the body?" Ning Xiu, who had been silent for a while, suddenly asked.

  The old woman and Mrs. Liu looked at each other and hesitated. Fang Ping immediately said, "This is a strange man specially recruited by our yamen. If you want to find out the real murderer, you'd better cooperate with all the requirements of the strange man."

   When Liu Shi heard the words, he could only nod his head and said, "The official please."

   It has been several days since Liu Fu drowned, and the coffin had been sealed with iron nails. If the first seven had not been passed, Liu would have invited someone to bury the corpse and the coffin into the ground.

   Walking into the room where the coffins were stored, this room was exactly the room that Ning Xiu had seen that was shrouded in black qi, and the source of all the black qi actually came from the coffin in the room.

   "What's going on in this room, it's a bit too humid." Fang Ping couldn't help but said, looking at the large water droplets on the surface of the coffin and the soaked wooden beams and pillars.

   Mr. Liu shook his head: "I don't know. Ever since I put Brother A Fu's body in the coffin, this room has become like this. Even though it's not Nanfengtian, it's still very humid."

  Ning Xiu walked to the side of the coffin and started to pry the nails without saying a word. Judging from the current weird situation, something must have happened to Liu Fu's body.

   Let him continue like this, and he might be deceived.

Fang Ping hurried over to help, and after pulling out more than 20 iron nails, Ning Xiu pushed open the coffin lid with one palm, and suddenly a pale face with round eyes and swollen face was reflected in Ning Xiu's eyes. .

   You can clearly see that there is a faint black line between Liu Fu's eyebrows, extending all the way from the eyebrows to his neck, and I don't know why.

   "Why didn't you close his eyes?" Ning Xiu asked in confusion.

   "I really can't close it. My mother and I have tried many methods, but we can't get Brother A Fu to close our eyes, so we can only go down the coffin like this." Liu explained.

  Fang Ping looked surprised: "Could this be the legendary dead eye? Tsk, this is the first time I've been a hunter for so many years. I really have long eyes."

  Tick tock!

   Just as Ning Xiu was about to check Liu Fu's body for other abnormalities, a drop of water suddenly fell from the sky and hit Liu Fu's forehead.

   This bean-sized water droplet is very eye-catching. It is surprising that the color of the water has turned black.

  Ning Xiu looked up quickly, and saw that the wooden beam directly above the coffin was black, showing a completely different color from the other wet wooden beams around.

  In this situation, Ning Xiu instantly recalled a paragraph of text explanation he had seen in "Tongjian of Demons and Evils".

  If someone is harmed by evil, they must not be left in a dark and damp place, so as not to cause a corpse.

   More importantly, there should be no wooden beams on the top of the corpse, otherwise the evil energy emitted by the corpse will be inhaled by the wooden beams on the top and become evil wood.

   Once the water in the evil wood comes into contact with a human corpse, the rumored corpse will happen.

  Tick tock!

   Another drop of black water fell, and Liu Fu's body, which had been motionless, suddenly trembled.

Ning Xiu knew that the corpse could not be reversed. In order to prevent an accident, he immediately said to Fang Ping: "Take them out, close the door, and ignore anything you hear later, and don't come in without my order. ."

  Although he didn't know what Ning Xiu meant, Fang Ping knew how powerful the Demon Commander was, and their command had something special.

  Fang Ping immediately dragged Liu Shi and Liu Fu's mother, and vigorously pulled the two to run outside the house. As the door was closed by Fang Ping, the whole house suddenly became dark.

   Another drop of black water fell. Under Ning Xiu's gaze, Liu Fu suddenly sat up from the coffin and climbed out of the coffin.

   Such anomalies, if Fang Ping and others were to see them, they would definitely be scared to death.

   Liu Fu, who was already a corpse, completely lost his consciousness of being a human being, and was reduced to a walking corpse with only the instinct to attack.

   Feeling the breath of Ning Xiu nearby, he immediately walked over stiffly, stretched out his hand and grabbed towards Ning Xiu.

boom!

   However, what greeted him was a crimson fist.

  The corpse moved slowly, and before he could catch Ning Xiu's body, Ning Xiu had already taken a step ahead and hit the corpse's chest with a punch.

  The fiery pure anode fist and Ning Xiu's internal strength made the corpse's chest sag in an instant, and at the same time, the whole body flew out like a cannonball and slammed into the wall not far away.

   The huge movement in the house made Fang Ping and others very puzzled. Could it be that Ning Xiu is not fighting with someone?

  But besides Ning Xiu, there was no one else in the room.

  The corpse that fell on the ground slowly climbed up, even if the entire chest was sunken, it didn't affect his movement.

  The only advantage of a ninth-grade evil spirit like the corpse is that, as long as the limbs are complete, no matter how severe the injury is, it can continue to hurt people.

   If you can take another step, you will become an eighth-rank corpse, with white hair as hard as iron, and amazing strength.

   Seeing the corpse walking towards him again, Ning Xiu jumped up and approached quickly, when he was only half a step away from the corpse.

   He slapped the corpse on the face with a slap, and at the same time, the whole person pushed the corpse forward.

  Boom!

  The violent force directly pressed the corpse against the wall. With the blessing of Ning Xiu's inner strength, when the corpse's head collided with the wall, the entire wall instantly burst into large cobweb-like cracks.

  The head of the corpse was also completely cracked under this blow, and the whole face collapsed into the skull. Then the corpse finally stopped moving.

  [Killing evil spirits, general proficiency +500]

   This set of combos is simple, rude, and crisp, without any bells and whistles.

  When he was an apprentice in the champion camp, Ning Xiu set his character image to join Fu Mo Si in this way. After joining Fu Mo Si, he first learned the powerful swordsmanship.

   Then, dressed in white clothes, under the moonlight, he stepped on the bamboo sea, holding a long sword and making moves like an immortal.

   After this, whoever sees it will not call himself Ning Jianxian, he is not handsome.

  But now I don't know why, I feel like I'm getting more and more away from the image I imagined.

Seeing that there was no movement from the corpse, Ning Xiu used the spirit eye qi technique to examine his body carefully. The reason why there is such a heavy evil spirit in this room must all come from this corpse. trouble.

   But under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a corpse to make such a big movement, and there is definitely some kind of secret in him.

   Soon, under Ning Xiu's hands-on search, he discovered the secret.

   Behind Liu Fu, on the swollen skin that had been soaked by the river water, there was a picture of the spell that had become very pale.

  If you don't look carefully, the naked eye can't notice the existence of this spell picture.

   It’s a pity that the incantation is attributed to the talisman, and only the immortals will learn it. Ning Xiu is completely ignorant of this aspect. Even if he found this clue on Liu Fu, he couldn't see why.

There was no other way, Ning Xiu had to move Liu Fu back to the coffin first, and then call Fang Ping, who was waiting outside the house, to find a pen and paper. He planned to re-engrave the spell map and send it back to the sky for Su Qianqian to look at. Look.

   If it was her, she should be able to see what doorway was hidden in it.

   may also provide some useful clues to this series of drowning cases in Wendeng County.

  Although the Liu family didn't know what happened in the house just now, when they saw the tragic state of Liu Fu's body in the coffin, their expressions became confused.

   Those who knew knew that Liu Fu died of drowning, and those who did not know would probably have mistakenly thought that Ning Xiu had beaten Liu Fu to such a state of death.

   explained to them a little bit about how Liu Fu became a corpse and why the room was so humid.

After Ning Xiu successfully re-engraved the incantation picture, he gave the Liu family a few taels of silver as compensation. At the same time, he instructed Fang Ping to quickly return to the Yamen to tell Dong Fu that the drowning deceased had turned into a corpse, and told him to send an arrester and go to other places. The deceased's home to see if those people's home is like Liu Fu's home.

   On the other hand, Ning Xiu left the place quickly, preparing to go to the inn in Wendeng County to send the incantation map to the Fumo Division in Chaotian Capital.

   The plot in the second half of yesterday's chapter was not really good, it was a bit stretched, so I modified it temporarily.

   Sorry to those who have seen it, the plot has changed.
