I was shocked. How could the toes be moving when the person was already dead? What was Second Brother Xie up to? Getting up to do a ballet dance?
Because Second Brother Xie's movements were very subtle, no one else noticed, and I didn't immediately make a fuss about it either.
My gaze slowly moved up along Second Brother Xie's legs. As I lifted my head, my hair stood on end.
Second Brother Xie's previously closed eyes were now open!
A dead person's eyes were open!
Was this the rhythm of playing dead?
I saw that Second Brother Xie's eyes were wide open, both eyeballs bulging, with a dull gray color, very frightening.
In an instant, a layer of fine white hair quickly crawled all over Second Brother Xie's face.
The white hair spread rapidly like a terrifying virus, instantly covering Second Brother Xie's entire body. It sprouted on his arms, legs, growing like mushrooms after rain, extremely fast.
In just a moment, Second Brother Xie's originally pitch-black corpse turned into a white, hairy corpse!
corpse! Second Brother Xie's corpse had actually undergone a corpse transformation. This was so damn terrifying!
However, many people hadn't noticed Second Brother Xie's abnormality yet, especially Xie Qiang. He held onto Second Brother Xie's legs and desperately pulled downwards, trying to bring down Second Brother Xie's corpse.
Seeing the situation was not good, I immediately shouted, "Brother Qiang, let go! Let go quickly!"
My shout startled Xie Qiang. He turned his head and angrily cursed, "Get out of here! Don't bother me!"
"Don't touch the !" I shouted loudly, reaching out to push Xie Qiang away.
Xie Qiang stumbled backward, his anger rising sharply. He turned around and pointed at me, cursing, "I'm gonna ruin you today!"
"Your dad's eyes are open!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.
As soon as I shouted this, not only did Xie Qiang freeze, but everyone present also froze. The yard suddenly became extremely quiet, so quiet that even a needle dropping on the ground could be heard.
Dozens, hundreds of pairs of eyes all turned to Second Brother Xie's corpse.

A few seconds later, there was an outbreak of exclamations from the crowd.
"Oh my god! Second Brother Xie has transformed!"
"These symptoms are the same as before with Second Uncle Qi. He's turning into a white-haired corpse!"
"A white-haired corpse! It's a white-haired corpse! Everyone, run!"
The onlookers immediately panicked, and chaos ensued. Amidst the noise and commotion, most of the people around the yard had already fled, leaving only a dozen or so brave individuals still standing in the yard.
Of course, I knew why Second Brother Xie had turned into a white-haired corpse. It was all because of the mischief caused by the yellow-skinned ghosts.
After death, the corpse should never come into contact with spiritual beings, such as black cats, snakes, or yellow-skinned ghosts. Once in contact with these spiritual beings, there would be mild cases of playing dead and severe cases of corpse transformation.
Whether it was the previous Uncle Qi or the current Second Brother Xie, they were both influenced by yellow-skinned ghosts after death, causing them to undergo corpse transformation and become fierce white-haired corpses.
I had a deep impression of white-haired corpses.
That night when Uncle Qi turned into a white-haired corpse, Fatty and I were guarding the wake in the funeral parlor. The horrifying scene from that night is still vivid in my mind.
White-haired corpses are incredibly strong and agile. What's most terrifying is that their nails contain potent toxins. If they scratch you, you'll be infected with corpse poison.
That third-rate Taoist priest Wang Baochang was scratched on the shoulder by Uncle Qi and ended up poisoned and rotting. If it weren't for Ku Quanzi saving his life, he would have died long ago.
Furthermore, even though so many people were mobilized to search for Uncle Qi, none of them were a match for him. In the end, it was Liu Qingqing who transformed into a giant green snake and subdued Uncle Qi.
So, if Second Brother Xie has really turned into a white-haired corpse now, none of us here are his match.
Facing Second Brother Xie's corpse, Xie Qiang immediately kneeled down and wailed, "Dad, what's happened to you? Who did this to you? I'll revenge for you! I'll revenge for you!"
Old Master Yu slapped Xie Qiang's head with a palm. "Get lost, you idiot! Who are you revenging at? Second Brother Xie accidentally fell to his death. Nobody harmed him!"
Xie Qiang's eyes turned red, and he glared at me fiercely, pointing and saying, "Yang Cheng! It's Yang Cheng who did this to my dad! If it weren't for his damn 'reverse insertion of the corpse' trick, how could my dad end up like this?"
Xie Qiang repeatedly insulted me, and I couldn't help but get angry and retort, "Xie, don't spew blood from your mouth. Don't think I'm afraid of you!"
Xie Qiang rushed at me, and I didn't back down, meeting him head-on.
Old Master Yu quickly stood between me and Xie Qiang, blocking us, and angrily scolded, "Shut up, all of you! Now's not the time to fight. Second Brother Xie has already transformed. Let's think about how to deal with it."
When he said this, Old Master Yu turned his head to look at me. I understood his meaning. He was asking me to come up with a solution.
But what could I do?
Someone suggested calling Ku Quanzi, but based on the current situation, it was obviously too late.
By the time Ku Quanzi arrived, Second Brother Xie would have long become a white-haired corpse, jumping around everywhere.
I calmed myself down and carefully recalled the contents of the "Book of the Three Pure Ones," trying to find an effective solution.
After a moment, my eyes lit up, and I quickly asked everyone present, "Menstrual blood! Who has menstrual blood?"
Everyone understood what I meant by "menstrual blood." It referred to a woman's menstrual blood.
Don't underestimate menstrual blood; it's an excellent tool to ward off evil spirits. Now, it was the only thing readily available that could be used immediately.
Many of the men present were rough and tough, and when they heard me asking for menstrual blood, each of them looked embarrassed. They looked at each other, regretting not having that ability.
Old Master Yu and the others from the older generation couldn't hide their embarrassment when they heard me asking for menstrual blood. He whispered to me, "Yang Cheng, what... what do you need this thing for?"
I anxiously replied, "Old Master Yu, quickly, help me find some menstrual blood, as much as possible. As long as we smear the menstrual blood on Second Brother Xie's corpse, we can temporarily prevent his transformation. Although it won't completely solve the problem, it will buy us time to bring back Ku Daxian!"
Old Master Yu's face turned red. "How can I bring myself to find such a thing?"
"Hehehe!"
Suddenly, Second Brother Xie, hanging from the ceiling beam, let out a creepy laughter.
Our scalps tingled, and we looked up in fear at Second Brother Xie. We saw a faint smile creep across his lips, a sinister and eerie smile.
We took a step back in fright. Several of the more than ten people who were originally in the yard had already fled in fear.
Sweat covered my face. It was too late. Second Brother Xie was about to transform into a white-haired corpse!
The ceiling beam creaked as Second Brother Xie's corpse spun in the air, making bone-chilling laughter, "Hehehe! Hehehe!"
