Chapter 206 Choose to Stay

"This body can't be left like this, otherwise something will happen sooner or later!"

Because he often dealt with corpses, the stone could clearly feel the strange power still remaining on the corpse, so he thought that the other party's death was not just as simple as slipping and falling off the cliff.

Seemingly noticing the noise coming from the stone, the two children just raised their heads and glanced at him without much reaction.

Now the shack they live in is leaky, and apart from two tattered clothes they only have some tattered pots and bowls.

In this situation, no matter how young they are, they understand that the fate that awaits them next is starvation and freezing to death.

Seeing their almost numb reactions, Shitou could only shake his head helplessly, so he started working directly in front of the corpse.

After taking out a corpse-suppressing charm and pasting it on the face of the corpse, Shi Shi began to sort out the corpse's clothes, remove the blood stains on the corpse, and finally put the corpse into a shroud bag.

"Dad~wuwu~"

When they saw the stone, they wanted to take the body away. The two children burst into tears and clung to the clothes of the body, unwilling to let go.

"Just leave the body to me. You don't need to worry about the funeral. Besides, my master is still recruiting disciples, so you should follow him. If he agrees to take you in, you will at least have enough to eat in the future."

Seeing that the two children finally reacted, Shitou slowly spoke to them.

This is not the first time he has encountered this situation, and he has some experience with it.

Hearing Shitou say this, the two children agreed in ignorance. After all, they didn't know what to do in the future. Being able to eat enough was already the greatest happiness in the world for them.

Soon Shitou put the body into a body bag, and then he took the two orphans and rushed towards the small courtyard on the mountainside.

Zhenren Zhou, who was wearing a black Taoist robe in the Fenglei Taoist Temple, withdrew his sly eyes and looked down the mountain, and then said to a frontier general in front of him:

"These corpse collectors... I don't know which saint is planning it, but now that the world is in chaos, corpses are everywhere, and weird things are happening, their appearance is always a good thing for the people in the world."

These days, he has been basically inquiring about information about corpse collectors. From the information obtained, it seems that these corpse collectors who suddenly appeared have unusual origins.

In addition, the paper corpse collectors used high-level talismans to take down the bone wolf cavalry that day, which is enough to show that there is a saint behind these corpse collectors.

Opposite him was a border army general wearing a battle armor. Since Liangzhou was captured, the border army was no match for the barbarian saint, so they had to flee separately.

This general was also a border army general in Liangzhou, but he was stationed far away from the border at that time, so the impact was not serious.

Later, as the barbarian army moved south, they were unable to resist, so they could only lead their men into the mountains and forests, and finally arrived at Fenglei Mountain due to various coincidences.

"That's true. As far as I know, there are corpse collectors in every state now. They only collect corpses and don't cause trouble."

"However, these corpse collectors rarely stay in one place for a long time. They wander around collecting corpses, and you don't know when they will leave again?"

The border army general agreed with Zhou Zhenren's words, but now he was worried not about the safety of the body collectors, but about whether they could stay.

"Fenglei Mountain seems to be hidden in the deep mountains of Yunzhou. The mountain roads are steep and sparsely populated. It can avoid direct confrontation with the barbarian army."

"But now that everything else in Yunzhou has fallen, and coupled with the loss of the previous batch of bone wolf cavalry, the barbarian army will definitely pay attention to this place."

"If we don't make adequate preparations as soon as possible, the barbarian army will come and attack us in the future, and we will be unable to resist even if we occupy the advantageous location!"

"If that person can help, it would be enough to protect Fenglei Mountain with the dragnet-like method he used that day!"

Of course, what this general is really concerned about is this matter. It is impossible for the gathered frontier troops under him to block the front of the barbarian army.

"Pindao tried several times, but the corpse collector didn't respond much. It might be difficult for him to take action."

Master Zhou shook his head slightly. Why didn't he hope that the other party could stay forever? In this case, he wouldn't have to support him alone.

"What if we give them the right to dispose of the corpses in Fenglei Mountain?"

"If they just want to collect the corpse, there is really no need to run around. As long as we hand over the dead body to them, we should be able to convince them to stay!"

"If the barbarian army attacks in the future, they can also dispose of the corpses on the battlefield. In this way, he may be able to help us!"

After thinking for a while, the frontier general suddenly suggested this to Zhenren Zhou.

Although this statement sounds a bit problematic, if you think about it carefully, it might actually work!

"Well, that makes sense, but I'm just a fool to try again!"

Zhenren Zhou stroked his beard and found that it was indeed the case. Anyway, he was just restraining the body. Where should he do it?

If they could keep the other party, there would be nothing wrong with handing over all the corpses in Fenglei Mountain to the other party. They wouldn't have to worry about dealing with some troublesome corpses.

As for the people's views, how many people care about the body after death when survival is difficult to guarantee nowadays?

At noon that day, Zhenren Zhou came to the small courtyard where the corpse collector was.

"I have discussed it carefully with everyone in the town. If you are willing to stay, you will be the one to deal with the bodies in Fenglei Mountain in the future."

"In the future, tombs will be abolished in Fenglei Mountain. After people die, their bodies will be sent to you or your disciples."

"I only ask you to help when Fenglei Mountain is in crisis. If you have any other needs, we will do our best to cooperate."

Facing the corpse-collecting paper man, Zhou Zhenren's attitude can be described as quite respectful. In fact, as a real person, he can naturally tell that the corpse-collecting man in front of him is not a living person.

But he knows that there must be a saint behind the existence that can possess the power of disasters, which means that he is very likely to communicate with the saint, so he behaves so respectfully.

Lin Feng, who was controlling the corpse-collecting paper man, was also stunned when he heard the other party's words. He didn't expect that they would do this to keep the corpse-collecting paper man.

But this is indeed a good thing for Lin Feng. After all, it is equivalent to the corpses will be delivered to the door in the future.

"Ka Ka"

Finally, Lin Feng controlled the corpse-collecting paper man and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this scene, Master Zhou was relieved. As long as he could stay, Fenglei Mountain would not be in danger of destruction.

"On behalf of the millions of people in Fenglei Mountain, I would like to thank you for your help!"

Then Master Zhou stood up and thanked the corpse collector. He knew that it was most likely that the saint behind the corpse collector agreed.

In the gravekeeper's courtyard, Lin Feng slowly opened his eyes. Although he was surprised that Master Zhou chose him, it was reasonable.
