Chapter 37 Ten Thousand Corpses Lamp

"What's wrong?" I asked quickly.

"It's burning. Your store is burning."

My whole body felt like an electric shock and I immediately turned my head. Sure enough, the pile of paper bundles all gathered into a ball and burned at the door of my shop. It looked very eerie in this quiet dark night.

Generally, when burning paper, the flame should be light yellow. But the paper bundles in front of me burned a shocking red color, even lighting up my antique shop in blood red.

You know, only if it is burned to the resentful undead, it will burn to this color!

Could it be that there is a powerful undead hidden above that jade lamp? I dare not think about it anymore.

I continued to observe, and suddenly I found that the door of the antique store, which I had locked, was now open. Then a bloody eye stared at me through the red firelight.

There were no eyeballs, just white eyes, and there were blood and tears in the corners of the eyes, as if they had accumulated endless grievances and wanted to talk to me.

I didn't have the courage to continue reading, so I immediately pulled back, closed the door firmly, and leaned against the door, panting.

Yin Xinyue quickly asked me what was wrong, why was I breaking out in a cold sweat?

I said it was okay.

Yin Xinyue was thoughtful for a moment, and suddenly asked in surprise: "Is there any yin object in your home? Have you collected another yin object?"

I quickly waved my hand to signal her not to make a fuss.

Yin Xinyue was a little dissatisfied, but she could hear the excitement in her tone: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Didn't you know that after coming back from Hong Kong, I would have been waiting for excitement every day? If you had known, I would have called my best friend to open my eyes."

I scolded: "Stop talking, listen to the noise, don't let that thing come to your door."

Yin Xinyue nodded immediately, put her ear against the door, and listened carefully.

But at this moment, it was quiet outside, there was no sound at all, and even the sound of the wind was much quieter.

Then I pushed the door open a crack again and looked into the antique store. Fortunately, the pile of paper bundles has been burned and the bloody eyes have disappeared...

The feeling that that eye gave me just now was so unreal that I even wondered if I had misjudged it?

After waiting for a while and making sure there was no danger, I opened the door and asked Yin Xinyue to take the camera outside to study it.

I heard that if the resentment of some undead is strong enough, it can affect some electronic devices. In other words, the camera may capture the undead!

However, I carefully replayed it several times, only to find that neither the woman's scream nor the bloody eye could be found.

I was a little disappointed and was about to ask Yin Xinyue to turn off the camera when the originally quiet screen suddenly trembled.

I immediately stared at the screen, always feeling weird.

Unexpectedly, a terrifying face suddenly appeared on the screen, its mouth opened wide, its face distorted, and it looked like it was smiling.

He is so close to the camera that only his face appears on the screen.

This strange face that suddenly appeared frightened me into a state of turmoil. It took a long time before I finally recovered. I immediately asked Yin Xinyue to pause the video and recall it carefully.

When I finally recognized this old face, I was filled with rage. Damn it, this guy is none other than the old farmer who sold me the jade lantern!

Why is he here in the middle of the night? It must have something to do with the weird things I encountered during this time.

Without saying a word, I opened the door and rushed out. My anger made me temporarily forget my fear, and I walked in the dark night, just to find the old farmer.

Now it seems that this old guy knew about the weirdness of the jade lamp and deliberately came to harm me.

Yin Xinyue also chased me out and asked me if I had discovered anything?

I said that someone was plotting against me and that someone might be killed.

Yin Xinyue finally realized that she was afraid. If she really couldn't do it, she would just go to the Lost Way Temple in Hong Kong and invite the Taoist priest.

I don’t want to bother the T-shirt man with everything. If I bother you the first time, there will be a second time, and gradually you will become a habit. Once this habit continues, it will be very detrimental to my career.

I rejected Yin Xinyue's suggestion and said that we could no longer sit back and wait for death, and we had to find a way to fight back.

Yin Xinyue was very excited and quickly encouraged me.

The whole night, Yin Xinyue and I didn't go back and rested in the borrowed shop.

Seeing that I was exhausted, she offered to give me a massage to relieve my fatigue. I agreed without resisting the temptation. Lying on the sofa, Yin Xinyue spread her white legs and sat on me, massaging me condescendingly.

I think I can remember that feeling forever, ambiguous, accompanied by a feeling of ecstasy and waves of intoxicating body fragrance.

After finally surviving the night, I hurried back to the antique shop as soon as it got light.

Everything looked so normal, and the furnishings in the room were basically unchanged. I looked specifically at the place where the jade lamp was buried, and there was nothing strange about it.

I carefully dug out the jade lamp and cleaned off the lime on the surface. The jade lamp was still the same, but the black color on the handle seemed to have faded a bit...

After I noticed that the black color had faded a bit, a term suddenly popped into my mind: the corpse lamp!

This term was like a depth charge, setting off a storm in my mind. My mind went blank. If this was really the Ten Thousand Corpses Lantern, I would be in big trouble.

The corpse lamp, as the name suggests, is a jade lamp soaked in corpse oil. Moreover, the corpse oil of one or two corpses is completely insufficient, at least a hundred or more are needed.

Jade has a high density and it is difficult for ordinary liquids to penetrate into it, with the exception of corpse oil. The black part is actually a physical phenomenon caused by corpse oil penetrating the surface.

Now, on the surface of this jade lamp, there is still some corpse oil that has not been absorbed.

This shows that someone must have died at the hands of Yudeng in a short period of time!

Seeing my uncertain expression, Yin Xinyue finally couldn't hold back her curiosity and quickly asked me what was going on.

I took a deep breath and said to her: "This thing is called the Ten Thousand Corpses Lantern, and it's quite powerful! You go home now, I'll stay in the store to catch ghosts later."

"Ghost hunting? That's great. I will accompany you to hunt ghosts today. Is there anything I can do for you now?"

"Don't do anything." I scolded, "Leave quickly, I don't want to hurt you."

"No matter what you say, I won't leave." Yin Xinyue smiled and touched up her lip gloss: "I'm just clinging to you, haha!"

"Haha." I imitated her and laughed angrily: "You really want to help me?"

"Of course." Yin Xinyue said quickly: "A hundred and a thousand people want to help you."

"Okay." I said, "Now, you want to get me a few bottles of saline. The higher the concentration, the better."

"You want an intravenous drip? Don't you know that infusion is bad for your body?"

"I'm of great use." I glared at Yin Xinyue: "If you don't know, don't talk nonsense."

Yin Xinyue looked at me aggrievedly, and then left obediently.

Not long after, Yin Xinyue came back, carrying a bundle of saline and telling me that it was concentrated saline.

I immediately found a bucket, poured all the saline solution into the bucket, and then dropped the jade lamp in it to soak.

About an hour later, the physiological saline began to become turbid little by little, and black liquid began to seep out. I immediately took out the jade lamp and found a layer of black liquid on the surface of the jade lamp.

I collected the black liquid and lit it with a lighter. The black liquid burned slowly. It was black at first, and then gradually turned into blood red. At the end of the burn, the black liquid turned into pieces of slag.

I took a breath: "It really is a lantern of ten thousand corpses!"

"It's so amazing." Yin Xinyue was dumbfounded: "This is the first time I've seen that the impurities in jade can seep out."

I said, "Do you know what this black thing is?"

Yin Xinyue shook her head: "I don't know."

"It's corpse oil." I said, "And it's corpse oil that was roasted from a body that had just died no more than five days ago."

Yin Xinyue was immediately stunned.

I said: "It seems that you really have to help me tonight..."

Yin Xinyue immediately asked me what help I could do? I smiled and said, "Let's keep it a secret first so as not to scare you. You will naturally understand when the time comes."

I first went to the paper-making shop on the street and bought some paper-making supplies, most of which belonged to golden boys and girls, and some gold and silver treasure villas. After they were shipped to my home, I waited for the night to fall.

Yin Xinyue asked me why I had to do this kind of thing at night? Isn't it safer during the day?

I said that it is indeed safe during the day, but it is ineffective. The undead in the lamp will not come out during the day. Where can you recruit them?

Yin Xinyue nodded awkwardly.
