C9 (2/2)

”How could this be?”

”Great Dao of the Earth! If your soul is unable to handle it, then the death aura will condense into a corpse! From the looks of your father's body, he should be turning into a corpse!” Yi Yun said in a deep voice.

”Turn into a corpse?” Is it a zombie? ” When I heard this, my heart thumped and my throat tightened. My father's bones hadn't turned cold yet, so how could he turn into a zombie?

Although I still couldn't believe it, the reality before me has proven it. Looking at my father, who was half bruised, I knelt down with tears in my eyes. After kowtowing several times, I finally got up and looked at Yi Yun, ”Uncle Yi, I'll listen to you. What should I do?”

Yi Yun nodded before letting out a sigh of relief. She raised her hand to look at the time and said, ”There's still time. First, let's move your father's body to the grave of your Mu Clan.”

I nodded without a sound and tried to get up to support my father, but Yi Yun stopped me. ”Wait, your father's body is rigid and won't be able to advance even an inch. I'll think of a way to temporarily alleviate it first.”

As he said this, Yi Yun took out a red rope, and with a flick of his fingers, a copper coin made of red rope appeared in Yi Yun's hands. His middle finger formed a sword, and his little finger formed a hook.

Strangely, after his actions, his father seemed to come to life and opened his mouth. Yi Yun then placed the copper coin woven from the red rope into his father's mouth.

Afterward, Yi Yun took out a small porcelain bottle about the size of a palm from his chest and carefully poured some dark red powder the size of a fingertip into his father's hair.

As soon as the powder fell into his father's hair, a sliver of black air leaked out from his head. In the blink of an eye, the powder vanished into thin air.

”As the saying goes, 'The lamp is extinguished when a person dies'. If not, then one should not stay in the human world. Otherwise, one would only suffer grievances. Why must you insist on doing this when the lantern is lit and extinguished?” Yi Yun's voice was calm, and there was a faint smile on his face, as if he was talking to an old friend whom he had not seen for many years.

Tears streamed down my face as I stood by the side. I wondered if my father could really hear what Yi Yun had said.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, ”Father!”

But at this moment, just as I finished speaking, the black air that I had dispersed withdrew once again. It condensed on my father's forehead, and the copper wire Yi Yun placed in his mouth was revealed once again. It was as if my father had deliberately spat it out.

Shocked, I quickly kneeled down and grabbed my father's hand.

”Get out of the way!” At this moment, Yi Yun's face was extremely unsightly. It was as if he had been electrocuted. He pushed my hand away and shouted, ”Stand at the door. If I don't tell you, don't come in.”

Moreover, just as Yi Yun was saying these things to me, my father's body shook violently, letting out a muffled thump, as if he was struggling to sit up.

Only then did I realize that I had done something wrong. Looking at the strange corpse of my father, I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart. However, thinking about Yi Yun's words, I could only suppress the pain in my heart and stand to the side.

At the same time, I noticed that the flame of the lantern was only as big as a peanut and that the light had turned green. Even in broad daylight, I still felt a bone-piercing chill.

Right now, even without Yi Yun saying anything, I already felt that something was amiss.

In this short period of time, I don't know what Inky Cloud did, but at this time, the flame slowly returned back to its previous state. Inky Cloud also breathed a long sigh of relief, and waved her hand at me with a pale face, ”Come on, make haste!”
