Start building the foundation: What is the Southern Xinjiang Corpse Puppet?

Chapter 182: Eat the marrow and know the taste

"Yes, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell us." The three people who suddenly appeared spoke in unison.

The casual cultivator had a grim expression on his face, and was about to say something, but those people suddenly raised their hands, followed by a cloud of dust. He thought to himself that something was wrong, and was about to leave this place while holding his breath, but he didn't expect that the dust would rush towards him and melt along his skin.

What is this?

Luo Shan, who was watching this scene with his spiritual sense in the dark, frowned.

The casual cultivator quickly lost consciousness and fell limply to the ground, while the four men dressed as waiters put the man into a sack that they had found from somewhere.

Then, he was dragged directly into a strange, low house.

What surprised Luo Shan was that her spiritual sense was unable to penetrate into the low house. In other words, there was a formation or something else in the low house that blocked the detection of spiritual sense.

The spiritual consciousness stayed outside the low house and observed for a long time. After the waiters brought the people in, they came out quickly.

Several people looked excited, and seemed to be talking about some happy event.

Luo Shan thought about it and communicated with Ling Wanran through voice transmission.

"Fellow Daoist Ling, I'll need you to cooperate with me in a play later."

Ling Wanran was sitting aside bored, thinking about how to investigate the Fei family, when she heard Luo San's words, she immediately perked up.

"it is good."

She had seen Fellow Daoist Luo's ability to stir up trouble, and she thought that he must have found a good way.

"How can I cooperate with you?"

Ling Wanran asked.

"You will know later." Luo Shan smiled slightly and sent a message to the corpse puppet monk in the next room to cooperate at the appropriate time.

After giving the instructions, Luo Shan pushed open the door and walked towards the courtyard gate.

The sound of her opening the door was quite loud, so as she walked in the yard, she heard two footsteps coming closer and closer.

As soon as the gate was opened, I saw a waiter passing by the gate inadvertently. Hearing the noise, he looked over in surprise with a smile on his face:

"Sir, do you have any instructions? If there is anything, you can directly tell me to do it."

"I'm going to the Fei family store to buy some goods. Can you help me?" Luo Shan narrowed his eyes:

"I need the goods urgently." Luo Shan's expression was not very good, and he was about to leave on his own.

When the waiter heard what Luo San said, he was stunned at first, but then he reacted and said quickly:

"What a coincidence! Our restaurant has close ties with the Fei family's store. If you need it urgently, I will tell the shopkeeper and ask the Fei family to deliver some to you as well when they deliver the goods to the restaurant tomorrow."

Luo San raised his eyebrows, as expected.

"No need to trouble the store owner. I have something else to say to the person in charge of the Fei family shop in person." Luo Shan said as he was about to walk out of the courtyard.

Seeing this, the waiter hurriedly stopped Luo Shan and said in a somewhat urgent tone:

"Sir, the city is not very safe these days. The Fei family's shop was robbed and a lot of goods were lost. Now the supply is much reduced. If you want to purchase a batch of goods, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"The Fei family was robbed?"

The first thing Luo Shan thought of was that it was done by the cultivators, but he didn't expect that they would act so quickly. Now, wouldn't it be a lot more difficult for them to investigate the Fei family?

"Yes, I heard that a lot of supplies were lost. I don't know who did it. They didn't steal gold and silver, but these things."

The waiter had a bitter face. If the supply wasn't tight, they wouldn't have to do such dirty and tiring work.

Thinking of the people imprisoned in the low room, the waiter felt a little distressed.

"To be honest, I am here to discuss a big business with the Fei family." Luo Shan said this and saw Ling Wanran coming out from behind him, and he winked at her.

He took off the white jade coffin from his waist and, with the spiritual power in his palm, punched it into it.

Then, under the shocked gaze of the waiter, the white jade coffin fell to the ground with a "bang".

Luo Shan slowly pushed open the coffin lid, revealing the corpse puppet inside.

"This is?"

The waiter stared at the corpse in the white jade coffin and looked at Luo Shan in shock:

"Sir, are these goods brought out from the Jedi?"

"What do you say?"

"Don't think about finding out the source of the goods we got. Since we are in this business, we naturally have our own ways to find the source of goods." Luo San said, looking at Ling Wanran.

Ling Wanran instantly understood Luo Shan’s plan. She didn’t expect that Brother Luo would be so bold.

The waiter looked suspicious, not sure whether this group of people were the outsiders that the imperial master had mentioned before.

After all, this group of people had a big dispute with those who were confirmed to be outsiders in the lobby before.

He naturally regarded this group of people as outsiders, and just waited to calm them down before reporting to the imperial master for handling.

But now after hearing what Luo San said, he felt a little unsure again.

Outsiders would not know what the Fei family's supply represents, but this man just took out a source of goods and said he was doing business.

Could it be that these people had a conflict with outsiders when they were sourcing goods before, which led to that scene in the lobby?

The waiter guessed this, but he did not dare to make his own decision, so he said:

"I'll report this to the shopkeeper right away."

With that said, he turned around and left.

"Wait!" Receiving Luo San's signal, Ling Wanran stopped the waiter.

"What do you want to do with your shopkeeper? We don't trade goods with your shopkeeper."

Ling Wanran said unhappily.

The waiter paused, turned around, and saw several coffins already placed in the yard, with the corpses inside exposed in front of him.

The waiter trembled, and was still a little scared when he saw so many dead bodies.

"There are thirteen of us in total, and there are twelve sources of goods here. I don't think you would want to be the last one."

Ling Wanran looked at the waiter with a smile, murderous intent in her eyes.

"We won't interfere with your restaurant's business. After all, we all work for the higher-ups." Luo Shan sneered when he saw the waiter's unhappy expression.

The waiter was frightened by the two men's concerted action and now regarded them as people he could not afford to offend. As for his previous suspicions, he threw them all out of his mind.

"Don't worry, sir. I got it." The waiter said, and left the place quickly, fearing that these people would use him as a source of goods.

"Fellow Daoist Luo, those people are thinking of cannibalism." Ling Wanran understood the shock on the waiter's face when he saw the corpse puppet.

"Fairy Ling should have guessed what Fellow Daoist Bai mentioned earlier, the Demon Refining Powder. The last bone marrow of the evil demon that was driven into the Land of Absolute Spirits became the elixir for the human race to improve their physical fitness."

No wonder she searched the entire dense forest but couldn't find the rest of the body.

"Eating the demon marrow can prolong their lifespan, but it doesn't mean they will be immortal. Besides, there are only five evil demons, so some people will not get a share of the demon marrow."

"Look at the people here now. Almost all of them have consumed the Monster Refining Powder. So the Monster Refining Powder they obtained is worth pondering."

"So, they are targeting those who have eaten the original demon marrow?"
