Chapter 2 Purple Entry: Fist never leaves your hand

The picture book in front of me was turned to the first page.

Letter: Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and the way of heaven is reincarnation.

A gray mist appeared in front of Xie Que's eyes, and the corpse's life was imprinted on the map.

When Xie Que came to his senses, a line of blue characters appeared on the Death Trial Diagram.

Washing tendons and cutting marrow: blue entry, removes impurities from the body and strengthens the body.

Although it only passed for a moment, Dashun was waiting impatiently.

Dashun repeatedly slapped the oar on the water to signal Xie Que to get on the boat.

Xie Que hurriedly swam towards the boat.

Perhaps it was because of the smell of chicken blood that humanoid figures emerged from the water.

There were about seven or eight of them, and they surrounded Xie Que and the awning boat.

Xie Que was a little flustered and felt a slippery feeling on his calf.

He looked down and saw a creature with gray hair and an ape-like appearance.

At this point it was grabbing its own ankle.

From the memory of his predecessor, Xie Que quickly found information about this creature, which was a water monkey.

Water monkeys like to suck human blood and feed on the brains and eyes of animals.

Due to his emotional fluctuations, Xie Quenao seemed to have touched a certain switch, and he suddenly started laughing.

"Hahaha!"

He wanted to float a little higher, but Xie Que was unable to move in the water due to the water monkey.

Once I have a fit of laughter, I can't stop it within a few minutes.

If you were underwater in this state, you would definitely choke yourself first.

The wild laughter and the howling of the lone wolf on the shore began to match each other, which seemed extremely permeable in this night.

Xie Que felt that the rationality in his mind was gradually losing, and an inexplicable irritability rose from the bottom of his heart.

The water monkey couldn't help but be stunned when he heard that Xie Que started laughing loudly.

Taking this opportunity, Xie Que suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed it into the water monkey's wrist.

The other party screamed strangely, but did not let go of his hand.

It seemed that the entry of "cleansing the essence and cutting the marrow" had an effect. A burst of brute force suddenly surged out of his body, and Xie Que suddenly jumped upwards, exposing his entire upper body to the water.

But when he saw several other water monkeys swimming towards him, Xie Que felt the bitingness of the river water even more.

Xie Que's mood seemed to have reached a critical point at this time, and his laughter became more eerie and penetrating.

Xie Que began to wave his dagger, regardless of whether he would choke on the water, he leaned down and stabbed the water monkey at his feet.

The other party seemed to be unaware of the pain as he grabbed Xie Que and refused to let go. The bright red blood dyed the water surface red.

Suddenly, several bells rang, and a black shadow quickly formed on the river.

It looks like a human figure composed of scattered lines, but it has three heads.

When the water monkey saw the black shadow, it instantly let out a shrill scream.

It also let go of Xie Que's hand and swam out quickly.

The water monkey who was injured by Xie Que was still a step slower. Xie Que turned around and counterattacked him, grabbing his ankle.

The Water Monkey's strength is only comparable to that of an ordinary adult. Xie Que, who has been cleansed and cut down his marrow, is obviously slightly stronger.

Xie Que pulled it to his side, and the water monkey kept struggling to escape.

Xie Que pushed the dagger in his hand into his heart, and its struggling strength gradually became smaller.

The water monkey finally lost its life and its body sank to the bottom of the river.

After the water monkey retreated, the black shadow also disappeared.

Xie Que's mood gradually stabilized and his laughter stopped here.

With a thought, he swam forward a few meters and reached out to pull up the water monkey's arm.

As expected, the characters of the Death Judgment Diagram appeared in front of me again, with a line of white fonts appearing on it.

Tidemaker: White entry, you move faster in the water.

Just as Xie Que was about to get on the boat, Dashun tapped Xie Que's right arm with an oar, signaling him to drop the water monkey in his hand.

He quickly let go of the water monkey in his hand.

After Xie Que climbed onto the boat, the two rowed along the shore, dragging the net bag containing the body behind the boat.

He glanced at Dashun from the corner of his eyes and found a small bell on his waist.

He guessed that the ringtone he just heard should come from here.

It’s just that for more than ten years, no one knew that Dashun had this treasure.

When they reached the shore, Xie Que found that he could lift the net bag alone and put it on the prepared cart.

The swollen corpse weighed less than 200 kilograms, but he could lift it with just one hand, and it was quite easy.

Even Dashun beside him had a hint of strange color in his cloudy eyes.

Parking the cart on the shore, the two went into the water again.

The waters that Dashun is responsible for extend upstream to Wangjiazhuang and down to Lihuaba, stretching for more than ten miles.

Not long after, the two saw a body again.

With his previous experience, Xie Que is now familiar with the job.

Coupled with the two entries he had just obtained, he could feel extremely powerful all over his body.

It only took Xie Que a few blinks of an eye to wrap the body in a net bag.

Then there was a trance in front of my eyes, and a line of purple text appeared on the scroll.

Never leave your fist: purple entry, your boxing skills are improving all the time.

Xie Que was delighted, but also troubled that he had not practiced any boxing techniques.

After cleaning up the body, the two returned home after passing the time.

According to the rules, the job of removing corpses can only be done at midnight.

Because Zi hour is the most overcast time of the day, it is the most likely time to attract the souls of the dead.

If it is not done within the specified time, the soul-calling incense stuck in the bow of the boat may not be able to recall the three souls and seven souls of the deceased.

Xie Que carefully removed the net bag, washed it and soaked it in the tank.

Inside the tank is specially prepared black dog blood, which can remove odors and ward off evil spirits.

Xie Que burned the paper money, mixed it with incense ash, poured it into the bath bucket, and added a few Lycoris petals.

Lycoris flowers usually grow on graves, and their petals can effectively remove corpse odor from the body.

After taking a bath, Xie Que felt so comfortable and energetic that he made a set of strange moves.

This is what Dashun taught them before. It can make their breath last longer and they can last longer when diving into the water.

The former Xie Que's thin body was flushed and exhausted after practicing.

Xie Que could feel that the effect of washing the tendons and cutting the marrow had not yet fully taken effect, and the entries were still subtly changing the body.

Xie Que saw that Dashun seemed to be asleep, and an idea suddenly occurred to him.

There are still many unclaimed corpses in the morgue. Can I get rewards?

Xie Que immediately walked into the morgue.

After opening the door, an unpleasant smell of medicine poured into his nose, making Xie Que feel very choking.

It turns out that the person handling the bodies was Xie Que’s second brother, Yang Can.

Yang Can was born without a face, with only his mouth and ears remaining as his facial features.

He can neither see nor smell, making him the best person to deal with the drifter.

The potion used to treat floating corpses smells extremely unpleasant and is unbearable for ordinary people.

Dashun found a fool named Er Meng in another village to dispose of the body, and a little silver could be spent on it.

Bodies placed here usually stay for seven days, waiting for family members to claim them.

When family members come to claim the body, they will also pay a claim fee as a reward for the person who retrieved the body.

If there is no family member to claim the body within seven days, the body will be cremated and the ashes will be scattered into the Wuding River.

There were three corpses in the morgue at this time. Xie Que lit three sticks of incense and bowed to the corpses again and again.

Then he stretched out his hand and placed it on the corpse's ankle.

But there was no response.

Xie Que sighed in his heart. He should only be able to activate the diagram and extract the entries when he fished the corpse out of the water.
