The strongest mortician

Rituals are special.

Shen Shen looked at Yanli with glowing eyes, as if looking at an untapped treasure.Yanli felt uncomfortable being watched, and the polite smile that was habitually evoked at the corner of his mouth could not be maintained anymore.At the same time, what fell on him was a vague, hostile and icy stare.Yan Li's body tensed up. As a deceased person, he should not know what to fear and what to fear.Under such gaze, Yan Li trembled deep in his soul.

He has been an official in the court for many years, and offended as many people as crucian carp crossing the river.It has been a hundred years since he was buried in this dark catacomb, but to Yanli, it was just a short moment, and his perception of hostility was as keen as ever.He found that the line of sight came from... the person who was wearing a silver mask and couldn't see his face clearly.

The delicate young man who was staring at him thought of something, and reluctantly withdrew his gaze from him.That line of sight also disappeared, and Yan Li lightened up, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

"Brother Yanli, do you remember Uncle He?" Shen Shen has plans to bury Uncle He, but the spirit of Uncle He has not yet fulfilled his last wish.Find Yanli, and the difficulty of encoffining Uncle He can be easily solved.

Yan Li was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips and slightly lowered his chin, and after a while, he said: "Remember..." Yan Li's feelings for Uncle He are very complicated, do you hate it, don't you hate it.He never hated him, even at first he thought he would die under He Bo's hands.Yan Li is very sensible, he knows that Uncle He is just a knife in the hands of those in power, waving at all "disobedient" people.His courtesy is just one of these "disobedient" people.

It's just that Yanli didn't expect that Uncle He would soften his heart.

The iron-blooded and ruthless "demon" He Bo failed to pick up his butcher knife this time.

Thinking of the scene he saw before he died, Yanli can probably guess it.What a struggle and effort He Bo made, though he failed.

It's just that Yanli didn't understand.He Bo's reason for doing this.It is a felony to violate the imperial order without authorization and delay the execution of prisoners.If it is light, he will lose his official position, and if it is serious, his life will be endangered.He and Bo He have never met each other, let alone friendship.He Bo's actions touched him, so in the end, knowing that there was no hope, Yan Li chose to do it himself and end his life.

Yan Li is a difficult person to get along with. He is gentle on the surface, but his actions are aggressive and merciless. He has no close friends, but has countless enemies. This is very similar to Bai Yi.

It is rare that he awakened his conscience at the last moment of his life, and chose to do it himself in order not to cause trouble to others.It can also be said that Yanli is because he doesn't want to live anymore, he can't change the Daye Dynasty that was rotten from the root, and after losing hope, the motivation to live no longer exists.

He remembered Uncle He, and he only remembered that there was such a person.This person was insignificant to him, and to be more specific, he was the last person he saw before he died.

"Oh? That's good. Can you give me some of your personal belongings? I'll go outside and bury Uncle He."

While arranging the mortuary box, Shen Shen tickled his fingers towards Yanli.After waiting for a while, there was no movement.

"Why, I don't know what to use? Anything is fine, as long as it's yours. You don't have to stick to it. Tear off a piece of the robe and give it to me." Shen Shen stretched out one hand.

After a while, with cold fingers, he put a cloth towel into his palm.Yanli pondered for a moment and said:

"You... want to bury Uncle He, he is here, he is dead too?" All kinds of signs were exposed, Yan Li still couldn't help asking for proof.If...then he appeared here, he must have something to do with He Bo.What happened after his death.

Shen Shen didn't answer directly directly. He walked to the entrance of the stone door and pushed gently. This time, the closed stone door was easily pushed open, leading to the previous room full of sarcophagi.Yan Li clenched his fingers, followed Shen Shen to the direction of the stone door without saying a word, Shen Shen passed through the door, but he was blocked by the transparent barrier, unable to step out of the room he was in.

Yanli tried several times, but all ended in failure. He had to face up to the status quo, he couldn't get out.

He watched Bai Yi and the masked man follow the young man into the sarcophagus room. Yan Li stood at the entrance where the two rooms intersected. Through the narrow passage, he could barely see the wall of the sarcophagus.

Yan Li waited quietly at the entrance of the passage. He had never felt the traces of the passage of time. At this moment, the time was much longer than he imagined.

I didn't know how long I waited, or maybe I only waited for a moment.At the entrance of the passage, several figures appeared indistinctly.Yanli couldn't help standing up straight.

He got a piece of yellowed parchment from Shen Shen.

Shen Shen didn't explain much, Yan Li held the parchment and read each word carefully under the candlelight.

The whole room was very quiet, no one spoke, the living corpse also lowered its noise under the coercion of the leader, Mumu stood there dumbfounded.The warm yellow light from the candlelight shone on Yanli's pale side face and dry lips.Softening the feeling of stiffness, suddenly, I thought it was a scholar studying hard for an exam under an oil lamp.

Bai Yi observed the expression of this former colleague. He knew the content of the letter, and was deeply touched when he first read it.But he couldn't figure out what this colleague was thinking again, just like now, Yan Li's expression was very flat, without fluctuations, as if what he was holding in his hand was an ordinary letter that didn't matter much.

"He Bo's obsession is too deep. I couldn't bury him before. I thought it would take more time this time, but when I burned the corner of your clothes to ashes and used it as a burial object, his last wish was fulfilled, and the soul persisted. In less than a breath, it disappeared from the world."

"He's so tired."

Why not tired?The soul is regarded as the eye of the formation, and it is tortured all the time, but the weak soul insists on not being reincarnated when it is too late.

Yan Li put down the parchment, and the light from the candle was flickering on his pale face.Can't see what he's thinking.He asked a question that had nothing to do with the content on the parchment: "Does it mean that I recognize you as the master, so that I can leave here to act freely like Bai Yi?"

Shen Shen was quite surprised, and he replied: "You don't need to recognize me as the master, but you need to sign a contract with me, and use the new contract to cut off the contract that binds you here. From now on, your life and death will be in harmony with me. I'm tied together."

"Okay, I'll sign."

"Tsk, Yan Li, haven't you always looked down on me as a vulgar person? Why, you agree with me and stay in the same box, don't you feel bad?" Bai Yi finally seized the opportunity, don't think he doesn't know , When he heard him call master, what did this black-bellied guy think of him in his heart.

Yan Li ignored Bai Yi's provocation, he signed the contract calmly, and watched calmly as the ebony coffin he was lying on shrunk to the size of a palm, was deeply held in his hand, and put into the mortuary box. Inside the box are two mini coffins side by side.This is his future residence.The method of shrinking his body automatically came to Yan Li's mind after signing the contract, so he didn't immediately shrink his body and live in it.

Instead, he walked to the entrance of the passage, put his palm on it, passed through smoothly, and the transparent barrier that hindered him no longer existed.Yan Li walked into the room next to him, which was full of sarcophagi, and found a dead bone in the sarcophagus in the center of the room.

The dead bone was smeared with light green wax oil for repair, which should be the method of the young man and his current master. Even so, there are still tiny cracks under the wax oil that have not been completely repaired.You can see the horrors before it was repaired.

Everyone thought that he wanted Uncle He to mourn for a while, so they stood there and waited for him.Even Bai Yi just muttered a few words without urging him.But Yan Li just stood beside the sarcophagus for a while, then left without looking back, and returned to stand beside Shen Shen.

"Master, I'm fine."

"That's all right? Yanli, don't worry."

"Thank you master, no need." Yanli bowed lightly.He walked to the oil lamp and put the parchment that Shen Shen had given him earlier on. The tongue of fire licked the lower corner of the parchment and burned it, burning most of it in a short while.He Bo's words recorded on the parchment were swallowed by the flames, turning into charred ashes and scattered in the air.

Bai Yi let out a "hum", this fellow was really cold-hearted, without any trace of sadness.

"Let's go." The stone gate at the opposite exit has been half opened, slowly revealing the dark and unknown passage behind it.

When everyone's eyes were focused on the new passage, no one noticed that the parchment in Yan Li's hand was burned to the point that it was only a thumb-sized corner, and it was about to disappear.Yan Li suddenly reached out his hand to extinguish the flame, held the small piece of charred parchment for a while, and put the parchment into his sleeve carefully and carefully.After he was done, he followed the person in front.

The candles in the room were swayed by the inexplicable wind from the passage, and in the blink of an eye, a burly figure got up from the ground and stood quietly behind everyone.The living corpses, who had lost control in a daze, turned their heads at the same time at this moment, staring eerily at the backs of the people who were about to walk out of the room.

"Master, be careful!"

Yan Li walked last and was the first to notice something was wrong. He blocked Wang Bao's sneak attack from behind. Wang Bao was so strong that Yan Li was knocked back several steps.The first blow missed, and Wang Bao's second blow was already in front of him, and the speed was extremely fast.It was completely different from the sluggish living corpse before, and he couldn't see that he was suppressed by Yanli half an hour ago and couldn't lift his head.

The half-open stone gate was quickly closed, Bai Dianlin made a decisive decision, and Qinghe's sword pressed against the crack of the door, preventing the stone gate from closing.

The group of living corpses is no longer controlled by Yan Li, and the repulsive magnetic fields on both sides merged together at the moment Yan Li and Shen Shen signed the contract. The leader of the living corpses in the room changed from Yan Li to Wang Bao. Groups no longer have boundaries.The strength of the living corpse group increased sharply.

The weird magnetic field amplified the new leader of the zombies and his group of zombies, and doubled down on the Shen Shen party's third-year zombies, including Yan Li.

The whites of Wang Bao's eyes were red, and he roared wildly, shaking the cave with him, and gravel and dust fell from the top of the cave.

The battle started again.

A group of people not far from the cave also heard the roar of the living corpse, but they are too busy to take care of themselves now.Bai Qiong and the others ran wildly all the way, with the densely packed corpse insects chasing after them, and the red dots in the black insect swarm occasionally surged.Bai Qiong unleashed his flying sword to attack the red insect king, but before the sword got close, he was thrown back by the wave of insect swarms.

The black swarm of insects is endless.Bai Qiong gritted his teeth:

"Go, walk in the direction of the roar!"
