Ming Zhang!
Ming Zhang, with his eyes gouged out, his abdomen slashed open, his face covered in blood, was dead beyond doubt!
So it was Ming Zhang's corpse inside the coffin, and the black fog in the shape of a coffin that she had seen around the courtyard during the soul summoning was because of this.
Yan Daozi was raising corpses!
The machete couldn't be pulled out, so Ming Zhang raised his hand to grab Sang Que's neck, but Sang Que threw a lamp at him, loosened the machete, and retreated.
The Daoist robe on Ming Zhang's body was ignited by the lamp oil, and even as the fierce flames consumed him, he showed no reaction, lunging straight towards Sang Que.
Sang Que retreated to the side of the long table and suddenly noticed beneath Ming Zhang's right shoulder, a noticeably smaller, thinner child's arm, pale and shriveled.
Gui Chou's right hand!
Yan Daozi's book mentioned that yin objects could be used to nurture corpses.
