This story had to be told on a winter night forty years ago.

The cold wind whistled, and the night was as dark as ink.

An old man and a young man, both dressed like Taoists, were hiding in a corner of an alley. They were sneakily looking in the direction of an old house.

That old house stood in the darkness of the night, surrounded by a few scattered houses. Not a single one of them had their lights on, so it was unknown whether it was late at night when they all fell asleep or if no one lived in them.

He looked in the direction of the old house and sniffed. He said to the old Daoist, ”Teacher, you are so sure that Nanny Wang will undergo a Corpse Transformation tonight. We won't have come here for nothing, right?”

”Brat, when did I ever lie to you? Three days ago, that old granny was dragged out like a bull by the snake to fight against the red guards, and when she returned home, she would definitely die, and with that old granny's character, she would definitely not let things go easily. She would definitely think of revenge methods to take revenge, and don't underestimate that old granny Wang.

The old Daoist said in a deep voice.

The young Taoist looked at the old Taoist, scratched his head and said, ”Master, disciple has a look, there's no need for Nanny Wang to walk this desperate path right? Although she normally doesn't do anything good, she hasn't done much harm to anyone. These days, there are many people who have been beaten up, so if they were to be like her, wouldn't this world be thrown into chaos? ”

”Bullshit!” The old Daoist turned his head and glared at the youth. He said unhappily, ”How do you know that this old woman Wang has never hurt anyone? Three days ago, the young people who pulled her out of this old house had a high fever after returning home. On the same night, their bodies swelled up to twice their original size, their skin was shiny, and the blood vessels under their skin could be clearly seen. There were even some insects that were swimming around, and even their bones were chewed off.

”Master, it's obvious that he was infected by an evil technique and was set up by someone. If we send him to the hospital, he definitely won't be able to save us. The evil technique should be removed as soon as possible, it can't last more than six hours, otherwise even immortals wouldn't be able to save him.” The little Daoist hurriedly said.

In the past few days, Lady Wang has been trying to act fierce, causing people to be anxious. The residents nearby all said that at night, they would hear her crying, and that she would cry for the night. The frightened people all moved away, and in order to eliminate the commotion, they sent Master out to do this task, and took her in. The old Daoist looked at his dwelling and said in a low voice.

”It seems like this old woman has a lot of resentment. She shouldn't be easy to deal with. Why did the higher-ups only send you, Master?” the young Daoist asked.

”Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and prepare all my magic tools. We will be working on it in a while. First, open your Heaven's Eye and observe the form.” The old Daoist took out a yellow paper talisman from his bosom and wrapped it with yellow paper talismans. After chanting a few incantations, the yellow paper talisman began to burn, and a green smoke rose up into the air. The old Daoist hurriedly moved his eyes closer to the yellow paper talisman, which was covered in green smoke, and blinked his eyes a few times.

The little Daoist blinked his eyes. When he raised his head again to look at the old dwelling, he could not help but gasp. He looked up at the sky above the old dwelling, and saw dark clouds and billowing black smoke.

This was naturally the scene he saw after opening the Heaven's Eyes. Normally, this old house would look somewhat sinister and not much different from an ordinary house.

”Master, what a strong killing intent. This grandma Wang's resentment is really great. This is the first time disciple has seen something like this.” The little Daoist said with a hint of fear.

Looking at this strange phenomenon, he pondered for a while, then said: ”You brat, you have just followed me for a few errands, and you still need to see a lot of things in the future, but this old lady Wang is truly powerful, even when she was alive, she was already an expert, after she died, her ghost soul would always be present, and her cultivation would definitely be much stronger than normal evil beings, because she herself is a cultivator, and knows how to become a powerful ghost.”

”Master... Then our mission will definitely be very dangerous, will we fall at its hands? ” The little Daoist asked with lingering fear in his heart.

”As the righteous leader of a sect, he should be exterminating evil and protecting the Dao. Even if he dies, there's nothing to be regretful about. What are you afraid of, kid?” ”In a moment, follow me. You punk, run wherever I tell you to go. Do you hear me?” The old Daoist turned his face around and said solemnly.
