The candle in front of the man suddenly began to flicker and was half extinguished in an instant.
He raised his head, looked at the dilapidated environment around him, and sighed.
"Oh, that's the limit of that fish. Without my help, she would have died here."
He shook his head and reached out to relight the extinguished candle.
"The corpse buryer is indeed not a simple person. I'm afraid... the master has never mentioned such a big person."
The candlelight flickered, illuminating the statue and the man.
The statue is a woman in plain clothes with a solemn expression. But she has a big fish with a long beard wrapped around her shoulders. Under the reflection of the candlelight, she actually reveals a bit of murderous intent.
……
To the huge Xu Niangniang, Yu Heng's blow seemed like just a light poke.
But the moment he recited the mantra, the rusty head of the burial shovel suddenly turned ink.
The wind and clouds surged on the river, and the water divided by Fu Yujiang pushed over and buried Lady Xu!
"Ah!" Fu Yujiang screamed and wanted to escape quickly, but he was worried that Yu Heng would also be pressed underwater, so he had to wait and see for the time being.
The upright body of Lady Xu slowly lay down horizontally, and the river was still squeezing her, burying her in the water!
She was originally cultivated in the water, so she shouldn't be afraid of water, but the huge water pressure made it impossible for her to swim freely, and the pressure on her body became more and more intense. In a moment, she had sunk to the bottom of the water!
But the pressure did not ease at all! She screamed in pain, but she could only watch as she was buried alive in the sand.
On the river, Fu Yujiang floated on the water, holding the eighteen-segment Arhat bamboo above his head and shouting: "The boat is coming!"
After a while, the square corpse boat slowly floated in front of him.
He jumped into the boat, shook the water off his body, sat down and took a deep breath.
The "making waves" that he just used was a technique he had practiced for nearly ten years, but he didn't expect that he couldn't display its power in actual combat...
In contrast, Yu Heng sank Xu Niangniang completely under the water with just one shovel! How could he be willing to compare the two?
He has long known that there are people outside of people. But when the gap between people is so clearly before his eyes, it is still hard to accept.
Come to think of it, why hasn't he come up yet...
"Pooh!"
When Fu Yujiang heard the noise, he quickly stood up and saw Yu Heng's head appearing not far from the side of the boat.
"Pull me up, quickly..."
The eighteen-section Arhat bamboo stretched out into the water, and Yu Heng reached out to grab it, and he and Ruan Hunxiong were pulled into the boat.
He sank into the water for a long time without looking up. It turned out that he was going to fish for Ruan Hunxiong!
"Hoo, ho, I'm so exhausted..." He put the burly Ruan Hunxiong aside, tried it under his nose, and said, "Well, it's okay."
"How did you find him?" Fu Yujiang was very surprised. It was said that nearly a quarter of an hour had passed since Ruan Hunxiong was washed into the water. Even if the water flow fluctuated during the battle, finding him was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Yu Heng tore off a piece of wet talisman paper from Ruan Hunxiong's back, threw it into the river, and said: "It is impossible for me to run to the water to kill demons without preparation. When he fell into the water just now, I was right beside him.
With this on his body, he can neither sink nor be washed away. You also have one on your body."
Fu Yujiang reached behind his back and found a piece of talisman paper.
"This..."
"Moreover, this is a mother-child talisman. The mother talisman I have here can easily find you, so we can confirm the location of the corpse boat." When Yu Heng spoke, Ruan Hunxiong began to cough violently and coughed up a lot of water.
Come.
"Who are you?"
Yu Heng gestured toward the sky and said, "Do you understand?"
The person above? "From Jiangdu Prefecture..."
"No, we have to go up."
"Heaven?" Fu Yujiang was shocked, "You are actually..."
"No, no, no, just a little lower." Yu Heng patted his face and said.
"Where's Lady Xu?"
"I've sunk her to the bottom of the river... It's hard to say whether I can kill her now, but at least I can make her float up to the sky with her belly upside down. We'll figure out how to deal with it then."
"What method is that?"
Yu Heng raised the corpse shovel and said: "Have you ever heard of the method of burying a corpse? The buryer is responsible for putting the corpse into the ground for peace, but some corpses are not so honest, so they have to use rougher methods...
…Ordinarily this move can only be used on the ground, but I didn’t expect it to be so powerful on water, so I took a gamble.”
"Hey, where's Zhou Shi? Didn't you put a talisman on him?" Zhou Shi had been sneaking into the river for a long time in order to lure away the floating corpse. He either came ashore or...
"It's really strange that the mother talisman can't find him." Yu Heng frowned and said, "Unless he went to a place protected by magic, the mother talisman shouldn't have failed."
Without waiting for Fu Yujiang to ask again, he stood up and said: "Zhou Shi is very capable and has many tricks. Everything will be fine. We should focus on solving Xu Empress now. She should surface soon..." At this time, a white line appeared on the river in the distance.
Then, huge waves rose from the ground!
"Hurry and squat down!" The sudden change was unexpected. Fu Yujiang quickly picked up the eighteen-segment Luohan bamboo and let the corpse-recovering boat speed up to avoid the waves.
But the waves are getting higher and higher, and they are already overwhelming!
"Impossible, Lady Xu still has such strength?" Yu Heng was shocked and tightened his grip on the burial shovel.
"What, what's going on?" Ruan Hunxiong said, covering his head. As soon as he regained consciousness, he saw a terrifying change in the huge waves:
The wave branched into several forks, slowly forming the shape of a finger - the huge wave turned into a hand, trying to catch the escaping corpse boat!
At this time, dark clouds cover the moon, and the evil spirit is gloomy!
"Empress Xu can actually use magical powers? Has the suppression been lifted?" Yu Heng's eyes widened, "No, someone is playing tricks!"
The giant hand was getting closer and closer, and Ruan Hunxiong, who had outstanding eyesight, saw something unusual: "That's not a wave, that's a resentful soul!"
In the huge waves, tumbling figures can be vaguely seen. They twist and struggle. When you get close enough, you can see that they all have terrifying faces!
That's a huge wave caused by resentful souls!
"It turns out that... the bodies of people who died on the river were taken over by Empress Xu and turned into floating corpses... and their souls were also controlled by her and turned into resentful souls!" Yu Heng saw the secret.
It turns out that Lady Xu is not just as simple as practicing with living sacrifices! She even mastered the method of refining ghosts!
I underestimated her ability! Yu Heng bit his lip and raised the burial shovel in front of him.
"No, it's faster than us!" Fu Yujiang used all his strength to push the boat, but he couldn't escape the pursuit of the huge waves of resentful souls!
And unlike the physical ghosts, the resentful soul is elusive and cannot be dealt with without special means! Although it is not as evil and powerful as the ghosts, it is more difficult to deal with!
Even among the underworld, the only ones who are good at dealing with resentful souls are...
"I'll do it."
Ruan Hunxiong took out the iron abacus from behind and stood on the bow of the ship.
