Chapter 1 The Night Watch

The night wind whistles, and although it has just begun to fall, it is chilling.

The night sky is like ink, with stars dotted above the night sky, a dark cloud drifting by, and the last ray of starlight was also covered.

The howling of the night owl was like a ghost. A black shadow was slowly moving between the rugged mountain roads. When you look closer, a pitch-black coffin was slowly moving. If you don’t pay attention to the figure covered by the coffin, you might think it was the coffin walking on the night road.

At this moment, Li Xun only felt that the wooden coffin behind him was getting heavier and heavier, and even there was a faint whisper in his ears.

My heart tightened, and fine beads of sweat oozed out from my forehead.

"It's a disaster, it's a catastrophe!"

With the guidance of the guide, Li Xun, even as the lowest night watchman in the Dahuan Night Watch Office, knew clearly that there was a big problem with the task he received this time.

The greatest responsibility of the Night Watcher of the Night Watcher is to send the bodies of these people who died in foreign lands home, so as not to become lonely ghosts. Of course, as a member of the Night Watcher, Li Xun knew very well that this was just an official statement. In fact, the real reason was to prevent these dead people who were reluctant to leave their hometown from causing evil and turning into evil spirits to harm the world.

This was Li Xun's second mission. He sent a scholar who died in a foreign land home in the previous period. The journey went smoothly, without any accidents. After handing over the mission, he received a few taels of silver rewards. He earned a few taels of silver in just a few days. No matter how you look at it, it was a good job.

But if we knew that more than a hundred night watchmen who had taken the mission with Li Xun, there were more than ten people who lost their lives because of the mission's target, that is, the corpse they carried, which was caused by evil spirits from the coffin, I am afraid that no one would think this was a good job.

The mortality rate is almost one-tenth. If there is other way to survive, Li Xun will never join the Night Watch.

But Li Xun couldn't make a decision. When he woke up from this body, he had already joined the Dahuan Night Watch and became the lowest-level Night Watcher.

Once you enter the Night Watch Office, you will always be a night watcher.

Yes, Li Xun traveled through time. He was just an ordinary member of the world in a peaceful society. If he had chosen one, he would never want to come to such a world where demons were causing disaster, evil spirits and life was difficult.

The wooden coffin behind it became heavier and heavier. Li Xun could even clearly feel the yin evil aura coming from the wooden coffin becoming more and more intense, and the yin evil aura invaded the body along the back. Li Xun only felt as if he was placed in an ice cave.

It was so terrifying, and the sound of the nails in the wooden coffin scratching the wall of the coffin was so terrifying to Li Xun, just like the sound of seeking life.

"You can't panic, you can't panic!"

Even though Li Xun was brave, he made a bet with his classmates and even dared to spend the night in the cemetery, but now he was afraid.

This is really something unclean! The key is that this thing is still close to me, and I still carry someone on my back.

"The Burial Sutra, by the way, I also have the Burial Sutra handed down by the Nightmare Office!"

Almost instinctively, a method of practice flowed through Li Xun's mind, which was the supreme practice method of Dahuan's Night Watching Office and the burial scripture.

Burial scriptures - Qi training scroll, attract evil spirits, pass through coffins, temper the body, strengthen the energy...

Working hard to calm himself down, Li Xun began to absorb the evil spirit emitted by the evil spirits behind him according to the method of practice.

The coffin behind is not only used to collect corpses, but its more important function is to assist the night watchman in practicing, because each coffin is considered a sacrificial artifact, and it is not comparable to an ordinary coffin after the secret method of the night watchman.

It can suppress corpses to a certain extent, or purify the yin evil spirit. Part of it is absorbed by the coffin and part of it is absorbed by the night watchman.

It can be said that the technique practiced by the Night Watcher is to deal with these corpses directly. It can even be said that if you want to improve your cultivation quickly enough, you will deal with these evil spirits as much as possible.

If the Yin evil energy emitted by ordinary corpses has little effect on the night watchmen, it is almost no different from the speed of meditation and practice in the night watchmen on weekdays.

However, those corpses that have evil spirits turned into evil spirits have a greater effect on the night watchmen. Even the most common evil spirits, absorbing the origin of evil spirits, the effect of cultivation is dozens of times or even more than that of daily practice.

Of course, while the Night Watcher is strong, what is more important is whether he can suppress evil spirits. Otherwise, he would not use evil spirits to practice, but instead be harmed by evil spirits.

If this were some night watchmen who had been practicing for a long time and had a few years of cultivation, the corpse behind Li Xun was no less than a spiritual pill for them to practice. With the help of the burial scripture, the Yin evil origin of the corpse could be improved for at least half a year.

“Geehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Li Xun's whole body was cold and his bones were covered with bones, and even a layer of white frost formed on his eyebrows. Even his originally rosy face turned pale, his teeth clattered and his legs were stiff.

Just behind Li Xun, the coffin that looked quite gloomy seemed to be covered with a layer of black mist at this moment, and strands of evil spirits as if they were physically spreading around Li Xun. Li Xun felt that the power in his body was being pulled away by a huge suction force, and the source of that force was the coffin behind him that seemed to be integrated with him on his back.

The moment he noticed the evil of the corpse in the coffin, Li Xun tried to throw away the coffin directly. Unfortunately, the evil corpse had locked it up and failed to break free from the coffin on his back after several efforts.

A crack, an extremely subtle sound came from behind, but it sounded like thunder in Li Xun's ears. It was the sound of the coffin being slowly pushed open. At the same time, Li Xun felt his scalp numbness and a cold little hand was placed on his shoulders.

"ah!"

With a low shout, Li Xun almost instantly took out a yellow talisman from his arms and slapped him behind him.

"Give it to me!"

The moment when he patted the yellow talisman with his backhand, Li Xun also saw clearly the situation above his shoulders.

The coffin that was originally carried on his body had been opened, and most of the evil corpse was poking out, revealing the black and blue face. The dead fish eyes were staring at his neck, while a small hand that was as thin as a dry wooden stick was resting on his shoulders.

"Ri..."

As the yellow talisman slapped the body of the evil corpse, a stinking black smoke suddenly rose up. The evil corpse opened its mouth and howled, and slid into the coffin with a thud without any sound.

Just as Huang Fu suppressed the evil corpse, the coldness that was like falling from an ice cave dissipated instantly. With a bang, the coffin that could not be removed from Li Xun's back fell to the ground.

Sitting on the ground, Li Xun's face was pale and his legs were weak. When the unsightly eyes fell on the coffin half open, Li Xun rolled and crawled away as if he had seen some terrible existence and could not react until he could react.

After breathing rapidly, breathing fresh air in big mouthfuls, Li Xun calmed down his mood after half a cup of tea.

To be honest, it is normal for Li Xun to have such a reaction. There are countless newcomers in the Night Watch every year who are scared to death because of the corpse.

What's more, Li Xun, who has lived in a peaceful and peaceful era since childhood, is already quite good to have such performance.

After a while, Li Xun had just plucked up his courage to step forward and looked at the evil corpse in the half-open coffin at close range.

This is not the first time Li Xun has seen this evil corpse. After all, the night watchman wants to send the corpse that died in a foreign land back to his hometown, and he must have a basic understanding of the origin of the corpse.

Chen Ping'an, ten years old, was abducted by human traffickers in Fengchi County, Huai'an Prefecture. When the trafficker den was seized in Fengchi County, Chen Ping'an had already died.

According to the rules of the Night Watch Office, any corpse that died in a foreign land must be determined by the Night Watch Office master using secret techniques, and then the Night Watch Officer will send it back to his hometown one by one and be buried in peace.

Chen Ping'an was from Daliu Town, Fengchi County, and Li Xun took Chen Ping'an's body to Daliu Town, Fengchi County from the Fengchi County Night Watch Office.

I thought there would be no accident this trip, but I didn't expect that Chen Ping'an would have a bad habit on the way. If he hadn't had the chance to meet that corpse-suppressing talisman, he would have become the first blood food that Chen Ping'an had swallowed after the evil.
