Mortal Mirror

Among the crowd, Kun Ge, who was supposed to be following Li Ergou, felt regret upon hearing this. Recalling the glorious arrival of Hao Ren Da, Sha Ge, and others yesterday, he was filled with envy and jealousy.

Now that Li Ergou had been promoted to Deputy Chief Constable, wouldn't that mean he was rising even higher? Wouldn't their achievements surpass his own in the future? For a moment, the regret in his heart was something only he understood.

Huang San, Li Ergou's former superior and considered Li Ergou's benefactor, remained a Constable after all these years, though his hair had turned whiter.

Now, seeing Li Ergou's terrifying growth, he couldn't help but sigh. He had always felt that Li Ergou was extraordinary, with his daring and fighting spirit, his skill in flattery, and his shamelessness. Back then, he knew that this kid was destined for great things.

And now, in such a short time, he had gone from a small constable to a respected and unattainable figure. And he was so young! It wouldn't be long before this kid achieved even greater things.

The County Commandant looked at Li Ergou and sighed repeatedly, glad that he had maintained a good relationship with this guy. However, the relationship of flattery between them would be reversed. It used to be him flattering himself, but now it was his turn to flatter him.

It was still flattery, but the positions were different! Life was truly like a dream, illusory and unpredictable.

The County Clerk's face was so dark it was practically dripping with water. He hated it in his heart that he hadn't killed this guy back then. Now, he had achieved such extraordinary things. If this continued, who knew what would happen.

He remembered the disdainful look Li Ergou had given him, with a hint of ruthlessness. That hint of ruthlessness made him shiver. This Li Ergou was not a kind person; otherwise, he couldn't have become such a high-ranking official.

No, that look just now showed that Li Ergou still held a grudge against him. If he were to retaliate, wouldn't he be doomed? In that case, it was better to strike first.

At this moment, his eyes revealed a sinister look, and he had made a crazy decision in his heart.

The County Magistrate opened his mouth wide, looking incredulous. He knew that this kind of thing was no joke. If it were true, then Li Ergou would be one level higher than him, firmly entering the ranks of big shots.

He immediately said with a beaming smile, "Congratulations, congratulations, Brother Ergou! You're being unkind. Such a big thing, why didn't you inform me in advance? I would have celebrated for you."

Li Ergou immediately said, "Hey, Uncle, you're too polite. Your son, Liu Zhiyu, and I are good friends. If you call me that, wouldn't you be embarrassing me?"

Liu Erhe immediately sighed and said, "Where, where? You call me Uncle Liu, and I call you Brother Gou. We'll each address each other as we see fit, or else wouldn't the hierarchy be messed up?"

Li Ergou laughed heartily, not knowing what to say. He just felt that this Liu Erhe was quite amusing.

Looking at everyone's expressions, he felt comfortable in his heart, thinking, 'See? When a person is successful, everyone around them is a good person. Everyone will smile at you and be happy for you.'

It was a pity that the Huang Batian family was either dead or scattered, not allowing them to see his glory today. He always felt that something was missing in his life.

What he didn't know was that at this moment, in a corner of the yamen, there was a person covered in stench, with a disfigured face, messy hair, and a dirty appearance like a beggar.

Through the gaps in his messy hair, he looked at the infinitely glorious Li Ergou at this moment, his eyes filled with endless resentment. If you were to ask who this person was, perhaps revealing his identity would surprise everyone.

Why? Because this person was actually Huang Batian, the young master of the landlord family who had supposedly hanged himself. Yes, you heard right, it was Huang Batian.

At this moment, some people must be surprised. What's going on? What's the situation? Wasn't he already dead?

Alas, perhaps it's true that the world is unpredictable, and some people are destined to live for a thousand years, and their lives are not meant to end.

Time goes back a few years. It is said that Li Ergou was admitted to the martial arts school as he wished. Huang Batian could not accept this result, so he hanged himself in front of the City God Temple.

Little did he know that what was enshrined in the City God Temple was not a clay statue, but a very powerful figure from a long, long time ago in Tiangou Town. This person had no name and was known as the Flesh Bodhisattva.

Strangely enough, this person's body did not decay after death, because this person was very powerful during his lifetime and had prayed for wind and rain for the people of Tiangou Town, and was deeply loved by the people.

After his death, everyone discovered that his dharma body was not destroyed, so they built a City God Temple for him and made him the City God.

In fact, no one knew that this Flesh Bodhisattva had cultivated supreme大法, the Flesh Divine Art.

The ultimate principle of this art was to refine himself into an immortal and indestructible flesh. Just when he was about to successfully refine a piece of immortal and indestructible flesh, the Flesh Bodhisattva ultimately could not resist the ravages of time. His cultivation was insufficient, and he still died.

However, a trace of his obsession did not disappear.

Therefore, after his death, his body was not destroyed, and his divine power continued to operate weakly, constantly refining the flesh that was about to become immortal and indestructible.

Unfortunately, it was still a dead body. The flesh that was originally going to become immortal and indestructible began to rot, eventually becoming a piece of rotten flesh. Although this flesh was rotten, it was nourished by a trace of weak power. Over time, this rotten flesh miraculously came back to life.

Perhaps it was the will of heaven, just after the rotten flesh had been nourished for countless years, after a night of rain and lightning, the rotten flesh really became a piece of immortal and indestructible flesh.

This can also be regarded as fulfilling the Flesh Bodhisattva's obsession.

The rotten flesh became powerful and began to slowly absorb the Flesh Bodhisattva's body. Over time, the Flesh Bodhisattva's body was only left with an empty shell. However, this shell was hard and firmly trapped the rotten flesh, and it could only sink in this shell and could not see the light of day.

It was also on this day that Huang Batian, with endless resentment, hanged himself in front of the City God Temple. The overwhelming resentment rolled into the Flesh Bodhisattva's body.

The originally silent flesh suddenly came to life. It was moved by this resentment and finally squeezed out of his body's five orifices with all its strength.

As soon as it came out, the extremely weak flesh followed the resentment and climbed onto Huang Batian's body, and then crawled into his body from his five orifices and curled up, which gave Huang Batian a breath of life and prevented him from dying completely.

In this way, Huang Batian, who was about to die, vaguely felt as if something had been added to his body, and then he passed out.

When he was discovered the next day, his tongue was stretched out, his breath was weak, and the person who cleaned the City God Temple thought he was dead and threw him into the mass grave in a rage.

And his mother, the landlady, could not accept this reality and went completely crazy.

In the mass grave, there were countless dead people, and there were white bones everywhere. This rotten flesh was inherently阴, so when it came to this extremely Yin place, it immediately began to absorb the extremely阴 power and recover quickly.

In the mass grave, there were not only countless bones, but also many stray cats and dogs. Their food was nothing but the flesh and bones of these dead people.

At this moment, a stray dog came to Huang Batian and sniffed his body, then opened its mouth and bit Huang Batian's body.
