Zhang Zonghan began to examine the bodies one by one. He found that some bodies had areas previously sprinkled with powder that were now turning from shallow to deep red along the decaying wound lines, and many small white spots were gradually spreading across the entire body. He quickly examined all the bodies, and some of them did not have these changes.
Could it be that those with these changes are—
Qin nodded, confirming his guess.
The Ghost clan's released ghostly presence is actually a highly concentrated suspension of tiny particles gathered in the air. Prolonged exposure to ghostly presence for ordinary people will only cause breathing difficulties, but once animals, including human bodies, are exposed to these tiny particles for a long time, they will be invaded. Ghostly presence is formed by the essence of dead plants and animals, and when it attaches to a body, it will form a possession. The more severe the decay, the more ghostly presence will attach. It will then rise and attack any living creature.
"That powder—"
"This is the powder ground from the Soul Departure Flower. The Soul Departure Flower can accelerate any ongoing changes. Therefore, soaking the Soul Departure Flower powder in water can intensify the invasion of the ghostly presence on the body, to the extent that visible abnormalities appear on the body."
What? Then this—
Qin shook his head.
"No, the Ghost Corpse that can harm people usually still have a heart. Zuo Ci and the others had previously used spells to destroy the heart of the corpse, so even if the ghostly presence invades the body more deeply, it will only make the corpse decay faster.
At the same time, just as if to verify Ms.Qin words, the first bodies to change began to emit a slight "sizzling" sound, and soon all the bodies that had changed began to emit this sound. Then, each Ghost Corpse began to tremble violently, with each tremor releasing black mist that gradually enveloped the entire body, obscuring the view of the mist's interior. When the mist dispersed, the bodies on the table were no longer visible, leaving only black powder covering the table. Although the black mist did not smell, it was very pungent, causing Qin, Zhang Zonghan, and another coroner to cough repeatedly."
"Absolutely cannot let this mist spread outside. Once Li ru and the others discover it, Dong Zhuo will know that we have already identified Ghost Corpse, and our situation will become extremely dangerous!"
Qin had Zhang Zonghan and Wuzuo pick up the folding fan to block the leakage of the ghostly presence, while he himself used a broom to sweep all the black powder left on the table into a bag without a trace.
Qin has already swept all the black powder into the bag, but the black mist still shows no sign of dispersing.
"What should we do..." Zhang Zonghan paced back and forth anxiously, coughing from time to time as he glanced at the black mist lingering on the ceiling.
"Please hide this bag in a place that is very difficult for people to find." Qin handed the bag to the constable. The constable nodded and quickly walked out of the hall.
" Master Zhang, please replace that constable to light the incense, and then stop after burning two sticks. Also, check on the situation of the constable at the door."
"That fog..."
"Don't worry, I will take care of it, Master Zhang."
Are you sure there's no problem? Zhang Zonghan inquired, looking at Ms.Qin.
Ms.Qin nodded with a smile. "You can rest assured, Master Zhang."
Zhang Zonghan immediately ran to the place where the incense was burning, and just as the stick of incense was about to burn out, he quickly inserted a new one and lit it. Zhang Zonghan returned to the entrance of the Yizhuang, only to see the constable hiding next to the stone pillar by the gate, leaning against the wall, panting heavily, covered in sweat, looking quite exhausted.
"What... what are you doing?" Zhang Zonghan asked him softly, pointing.
"Oh - Zhang - Master Zhang, I - I was just jumping in place! Qin - Ms.Qin wanted me to sweat, right?" The eunuch fanned himself with his sleeve and panted, looking quite tired.
"You've really worked hard!" Zhang Zonghan gently patted the eunuch's shoulder, and the eunuch's legs went weak as he squatted down. Zhang Zonghan quickly helped him up.
"It's - it's okay, I'm - I'm very happy to help Master Zhang and Qin - Ms.Qin." The eunuch forced a smile.
Zhang Zonghan glanced outside and saw that Li ru and his group were keeping a considerable distance from the Yizhuang. They were still looking around constantly, seemingly instructing others to check around the Yizhuang, but none of them approached it. The onlookers seemed to be in chaos at the moment. Li ru seemed to have tried to force the onlookers to enter the Yizhuang to snatch the bodies, but they did not obey. On the contrary, many people were blocking Li ru and his group, led by what seemed to be Cishi Liu's subordinates, and many of them were people who had lost their loved ones to the Ghost Corpse.
Zhang Zonghan never expected that the onlookers would take such a big risk to ensure that Ms.Qin and himself could successfully identify the Ghost Corpse. He couldn't help but be moved to tears and feel a thousand emotions in his heart.
He remembered what Qin had said, "We must believe in people, no matter what they have done."
Zhang Zonghan returned to the hall where the bodies were stored, and was astonished to find that the black mist that had been lingering on the ceiling was now completely gone. Even the table where the bodies had been placed was now clean, as if it had never been used.
"Qin is arranging the bodies in order, and Zhang Zonghan quickly comes to help when he snaps out of it.
" Ms.Qin, how did you manage to do this?" Zhang Zonghan is still very puzzled."
"Oh, this is a bit inconvenient to disclose, it's a secret. Please forgive me, Master Zhang," Ms.Qin replied somewhat awkwardly.
"It's okay, it's okay. Being able to help verify Ghost Corpse is already a big help! I thank you for this!!" Zhang Zonghan bent down as if to kneel, and Ms.Qin hurriedly helped him up.
"This is what a young lady should do! Master Zhang there's no need for this!"
"Thank you so much! Ms.Qin! Now the people of Luoyang City, no, I mean, all the people in the world are saved!! Cishi Liu - he can finally rest in peace!!" At this point, Zhang Zonghan couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears, with large tears rolling down his cheeks.
Ms. Qin did not say a word; she simply smiled, her eyes reddening as she used her right hand to wipe away Zhang Zonghan's tears.
Master Zhang is indeed a good official. Zhu Jianping did not make a mistake; Master Zhang will surely become a key force in eliminating Dong the Traitor in the future!
Qin thought so in his heart, and secretly made up his mind to help Master Zhang.
"So, what should we do next? Li ru and his group are still guarding around the Yizhuang, and we can't get away," Zhang Zonghan thought to himself, feeling a little worried.
"It's okay. Nowadays, Ghost Corpse and all traces of its existence have been completely removed. As long as we don't mention it, nothing will happen."
"Will Dong the Traitor..."
"Don't worry, that won't happen. Even if Dong the Traitor has powerful methods, he should know that the last thing he should do now is to completely turn against the people. His power base is not yet solid, and he still has to consider some factors."
The incense had all burned out. Ms.Qin instructed the two coroner assistants who were still outside to return to the hall. Li Ru and his group rushed in, all pointing their weapons at Zhang Zonghan and his group.
Li ru looked around the hall with a serious expression, and several soldiers searching the hall walked up to Li ru and shook their heads, indicating that they had not found any traces of Ghost Corpse or ghostly presence.
" Master Zhang, why are you preventing us from entering? Why are you defying Master Dong's orders? What have you done here?"
Zhang Zonghan took a deep breath and replied in a calm tone, "I didn't do anything special. It's just that these bodies are buried every other day, and I was conducting a farewell ceremony. This process cannot be disturbed by outsiders, I'm really sorry."
"Is that really the case?" asked Li ru.
Zhang Zonghan and Qin nodded.
Hua Xiong strode over to the two guards, glared at them fiercely, and then forcefully plunged an axe into the wall just a few centimeters away from them.
"Is it true, just as Master Zhang said? Hmm?"
Hua Xiong's momentum was too terrifying, and a constable was so scared that he wet his pants.
Two mortuary attendants still tremblingly said, "That's right, it's the rule of the charity house. A funeral ceremony must be held before the burial. This Ms.Qin is here to help with the ceremony."
One of the attendants pointed at Ms.Qin with a trembling hand, Hua Xiong turned to glare at Ms.Qin, who looked back at Hua Xiong with a calm expression.
"You..." Li ru walked up to Hua Xiong and looked Ms.Qin up and down, frowning.
"May I ask what's wrong with the young lady?" Ms.Qin asked calmly, showing no sign of fear.
"It's okay, it's okay. Since Master Zhang is just doing his work, we shouldn't disturb him too much." Li ru smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.
