Chapter 174 Cultivating an Undead 4

Ye Shaoayang did not respond to Xiao Mas question . Instead, he drew a h.e.l.lfire Talisman Paper and held it close to the womans face . The hair covering the face instantly retracted upon sensing the fire .

Ye Shaoyang held the h.e.l.lfire Talisman Paper and circled it over the womans face again to make sure all the hair retracted back . Everyone on the scene stepped closer to the hole out of curiosity . They soon found out that the woman had a beautiful face . She was a beauty, alive or dead .

Oh, what a waste Xiao Ma sighed .

Ye Shaoyang squatted by the womans body and forced her eyes open . The sight sent chills down everyones spines . Instead of eyeb.a.l.l.s, there were two b.a.l.l.s of hair behind the womans eyelids .

Ye Shaoyang frowned and further investigated by opening her mouth . It was filled with hair as well, but the hair crawled like worms on top of itself as if it was alive .

Everyone was disgusted by what they saw . Some almost threw up .

Ye Shaoyang checked the womans nose and ears and found that they were also filled with hair .

Ye Shaoyang said in a stern voice, If I am not mistaken, this is a Hairy Gu . The hair of the person cursed with this would start to grow into their body .

Everyone stared at each other with wide eyes . n.o.body could have imagined that there was such a thing, but the proof was right in front of them .

Xiao Ma mumbled, If their hair grew into their body, how painful would it be?

Very painful, Ye Shaoyang explained, At first, the person would feel itchy all the time . Theres no way to tell from the outside, but by the time the person started to feel pain, hair would have already grown all over the persons inner organs . Death would come soon after that, Ye Shaoyang pointed at the woman, You can dissect this woman and check for yourself . Her stomach and all inner organs are all filled with hair .

Xiao Ma shook his head, No need for that . It is creepy enough just to imagine . If I see it, I bet I will not be able to eat for the next three days .

A village council member pointed at the womans face and said, Hey guys, look . This woman-- doesnt she look like Zhu Zis wife who went missing?

This reminded the rest of the village council members as they gathered nearer to the woman and examined closely . Finally, they concluded that she was indeed the missing person from the village .

Li Laoxing sighed as he explained, This woman was from Northern Shan w.a.n.g . She was quite a beauty and married to our village head Zhu Zi . They were married for four or five years, and then, two or three years ago, she suddenly disappeared . n.o.body could find her . Rumors spread that she eloped with another guy . Zhu Zi and his family were so ashamed . Turns out, she was murdered and buried here .

Ye Shaoyang asked, Did she go missing before the undead turned up in the village?

Li Laoxing frowned as he tried to recall . Before he could speak, a few village council members started to agree, You are right! I remember it now! Just a few days after she went missing, undead started to turn up in the village!

Xiao Ma angrily gripped his fist, This must be the work of that ugly-faced man! He intentionally released undead here to hurt the villagers . Then, he pretended to come and solve the problem as a sorcerer! He cheated you and your trust, killed this woman, and buried her here! He even asked you to help him move a whole forest here! Old man, you guys were all taken for a ride!

The people of the village were simple people . Li Laoxing and the villagers realized that they had unknowingly helped a person commit murder . They were so ashamed that they could not lift their heads .

Ye Shaoyang comforted them, Naivete is not guilt . You should inform her next-of-kin and clear her name . It would be a fitting penance .

Li Laoxing nodded . He instructed two men to go down and inform her family at once .

Then, Ye Shaoyang instructed Xiao Ma to take pictures of the scene using his phone and send them to Xie Yuqing . Since there was a murder involved, it had to be dealt with by the police .

After taking enough photos, Xiao Ma could not take his eyes away from the crawling hair in the womans mouth and eyes . He was disgusted by the sight, and he turned to Ye Shaoyang, What should we do now?

Ye Shaoyang thought for a while before he spoke, This is certainly not a simple case of a Hairy Gu . Although my knowledge of Gu Craft is limited, I know for sure that Gu live off human flesh like parasites . After the person dies, the flesh starts to rot, so it either finds a new host or dies with the human . However, this woman has been dead for two years now . Her body has never rotted, and the hair is still alive . Something is not right here . Let me try to figure it out .

As he finished talking, he took out a piece of sulfite rock and wrapped it in a talisman paper . Then, he folded the talisman paper into an octagon shape and tied it with a string of his hair . He put the talisman paper into the womans mouth and started to chant the h.e.l.lfire Chant .

The talisman paper soon ignited . Yellow smoke started to drift out of the womans orifices .

The b.a.l.l.s of hair started to react to the burning . They started to struggle before retracting further into the womans body . To make things even scarier, the womans body started to twitch .

Li Laoxing and the rest of the group cowardly ran a few feet back as they watched .

The dead became alive?

Ye Shaoyang, on the other hand, was not intimidated at all . He calmly grabbed the womans hands and held them together with his left hand . With his other hand, he pressed along the womans body with his knuckle . He kept knocking on the womans body to examine it as he pressed along her acupoints . Suddenly, the womans mouth opened and her tongue fell out as though she was trying to throw up .

Ye Shaoyang grabbed the woman by her neck as he released a stream of Gang Qi into the womans body . He intended to draw out the Gu in the womans body . However, the womans mouth closed again after a while . Ye Shaoyang could feel something in the womans throat burrow down into her stomach .

Then, the womans stomach expanded and stopped when the woman looked as though she was pregnant .

This is bad! Ye Shaoyang stood up as he stared helplessly at the womans bloated stomach . He intended to force the creature out through her mouth and kill it with a Talisman Paper . However, he did not expect the creature to be so strong . Instead of coming out, it burrowed further into the womans stomach . There had to be something protecting the creature inside the stomach . The stream of Gang Qi Ye Shaoyang sent into her body could not sense anything once the creature hid in her stomach .

Now, I understand, Ye Shaoyang nodded as he mumbled . Theres something inside of her stomach that has provided energy to the creature and the body for the past two years . This is why the body has not rotted and the Gu stayed alive . But what on earth is it?

Could it be a baby? Xiao Ma chipped in, but as soon as he spoke, Ye Shaoyang rolled his eyes in annoyance . Obviously, Xiao Ma was wrong . Xiao Ma awkwardly scratched his head as he explained himself, I was just guessing because it looks as though she is pregnant . Little Ye, why dont we just cut the stomach open instead of just guessing? The truth is in there .

Easy for you to say of course . I was taking a risk just now . I did not expect this creature to be so strong . Fortunately, the talisman paper intimidated it, so it retreated into the stomach instead of fighting . If I cut the stomach open now, there will be a fight waiting for us .
