Jiang Chen wasn't in the black room.
Jiang Chen left when the people from the mushroom house went to look for the village chief.
At this moment.
In the village's barren graveyard.
It was still foggy in broad daylight. The surrounding trees rustled as if there was a cold wind whistling.
Jiang Chen was standing in the graveyard. A beautiful figure in red was standing beside him. It was Qu Hongxiu.
"Milord, I have already given him the dowry and he has accepted it.”
Qu Hongxiu said respectfully, but she didn't understand why Jiang Chen still wanted to hold a netherworld marriage for her and that heartless man.
"Yes, I know. I also know that you have doubts in your heart. The netherworld marriage is only the first step.”
"The Ghost Festival is in three days.”
Jiang Chen could see Qu Hongxiu's confusion, so he explained.
"Sir, then we are here to…"
"Since it's a marriage, there should be witnesses. Back then, they and she killed you together, so let them be witnesses.”
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Qu Hongxiu seemed to recall what had happened in the past. She was full of resentment.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but glance at her. Qu Hongxiu shivered. She suppressed her resentment and said hurriedly,""Sir, please forgive me."
Jiang Chen's eyes were cold and emotionless, but Qu Hongxiu knew she had lost her composure.
Jiang Chen didn't say anything more. He looked at the graveyard in front of him. Many graves only had a stone tablet in front of them, but there weren't any words on it. They were empty tablets, and there were seventy or eighty of them.
These were the tombs of the people in the house.
"Grudge gathers corpses, Yin souls don't die, and death by fire doesn't make corpses stiff!”
"Rise!"
Jiang Chen was doing some simple movements, and he was chanting some kind of spell. It sounded like Sanskrit in Qu Hongxiu's ears. She was trembling, and she almost lost her balance.
When Jiang Chen pointed out his finger, the stone tablets in front of the graves fell down. Then the soil started to loosen, and charred bodies crawled out of the graves one after another.
"Wuwuwu"
"Wuwuwu"
The fog spread, and the cold wind blew. It was as if there were ghosts crying. It was mournful, ferocious, fearful, and pleading.
Both Jiang Chen and Qu Hongxiu could see ghosts floating in the mist. Some of them were crying, some were laughing, some were roaring in anger, and some were trembling and begging.
The fire that year burned for three days and three nights.
When the fire was extinguished, the villagers were all frightened because all the corpses in the house were intact. They were only charred black. According to the situation, they should have all been reduced to ashes.
It was too terrifying and strange. At that time, the village chief had organized people to wrap all the corpses in straw mats and bury them directly in this barren grave. After that, the villagers did not use this grave anymore and gradually abandoned it.
Jiang Chen was transporting corpses. He was really transporting corpses, but it wasn't as complicated as the corpse transporter of Xiangxi's inheritance. Besides, no corpse transporter of Xiangxi could transport so many corpses at the same time.
These people had been burned to death by the fire, and because of the curse of Qu Hongxiu's thousand years of resentment, their bones had not melted, and their souls had wandered. They could not enter the Underworld to reincarnate.
All the charred corpses had lined up in two rows in front of Jiang Chen, but Qu Hongxiu's body was not among them. Qu Hongxiu's body was still lying in the graveyard.
"Sir, why isn't my corpse here?”Qu Hongxiu asked.
"Your corpse will naturally be carried back by him.”
Jiang Chen said calmly. Qu Hongxiu nodded and didn't say anything else.
Jiang Chen looked at the wandering soul floating in the air again and said,""Corpses don't rot, and souls don't scatter.”
Jiang Chen's eyes sparkled. The wandering souls all landed on the ground. They found their bodies and attached themselves to them.
Because their corpses were charred, their ghosts could not enter their bodies at all. They could only attach themselves to them and move around.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, but they only gathered above the Barren Graveyard. From afar, it would definitely feel extremely strange.
Gradually, the dark clouds began to move. They floated towards the deserted house in the north. The speed was not fast, but it could be seen with the naked eye that the dark clouds were indeed moving, as if they were following something.
If someone with some cultivation saw this, they would definitely be shocked. Just how many vengeful souls and Yin specters had gathered here!
.......
This was an ancient village in Xiangxi. The outside world thought that the inheritance of corpse transportation in Xiangxi had long been lost, but there were still real corpse transportation craftsmen in the village.
At this moment, there was a very hidden house in the forest of the village. The surroundings were deserted, and only the older generation in the village knew that such a place existed.
There was only one person in the room. He seemed to have sensed something and suddenly ran out.
"This... This is corpse chasing!"
"Corpse-chasing in broad daylight! What a powerful method. The gathering of Yin specters, just how many corpses had been driven away!”
"Just who could do this! Could it be…Ancestor!"
Lin Shan looked at the dark clouds floating in the sky not far away. He could tell at a glance that someone was chasing corpses.
However, Lin Shan was extremely shocked by the methods and scale of the corpse herding in the day. The corpse herding skills of his Lin family, which had been passed down for countless generations, were not worth mentioning compared to the situation before him.
The only possibility he could think of was the old ancestor!
Lin Shan was the only corpse transporter in the village. He was only in his forties and looked like an old man in his fifties or sixties.
Moreover, his Lin family had only one heir for three generations. In his generation, not only was the job of corpse herding gone, but even the inheritance was about to be cut off in his hands. This was because his father had taken on a job back then and brought disaster to the Lin family. His Lin family was cursed to have no descendants.
When Lin Shan's father had died, he had gone to the black house to beg Jiang Chen, hoping that he could help him remove the curse.
Jiang Chen only said that it wasn't the right time yet, and Lin Shan would know when the time came.
Lin Shan saw the scene of chasing corpses in broad daylight, and he knew that this was the opportunity Jiang Chen had mentioned.
Therefore, Lin Shan, who had not left this place for 20 years, finally came out of the mountain excitedly.
