"Shady people lend a way, Yang people retreat! Whether you want to avoid it or not, it's up to you! "
…
In the pitch-black dense forest, the clear and melodious ringing of a bell mixed with a deep and serene voice drifted along with the wind. Anyone who heard it couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spine and shudder.
Hearing this sound, Ye Xuan frowned and looked over. On a small path in the forest not far away, a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and a pair of glasses was walking in front with a lamp in his hand, shaking the bell in his hand. At the same time, he was shouting in a low voice. Behind him was a group of people dressed in Qing Dynasty clothing. Their faces were pale, and their hands were stretched out in front of them. Perhaps these people should not be called people, but corpses, walking corpses.
Such a scene would probably make an ordinary person's hair stand on end, and they would turn around and run. However, Ye Xuan was not an ordinary person. Although he had never seen a real zombie, whether it was the piles of zombies in "Resident Evil" or the ghosts in "Mr. Fantasy", he had seen them all. As the saying goes, the skilled are bold. His eyes flashed and he directly strode in that direction.
Because he did not have the help of his supernatural ability, Ye Xuan could not walk without making a sound. Along the way, the sound of him stepping on dead branches and leaves was quite conspicuous in the silent forest.
"Who is it?" As a Taoist priest who could control corpses, magic power and martial arts were indispensable. This was because no one knew if they would encounter demons, ghosts, bandits, or robbers in the process of controlling the corpses. Naturally, they had to be vigilant at all times. After the middle-aged Taoist priest heard the strange sound coming from not far away, he immediately stopped the group of corpses and looked in the direction of the sound.
"Taoist priest, don't be nervous. I am a person who got lost in the mountains. I saw you passing by, so I came to ask for directions! " As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xuan's figure appeared from behind the tree. With a slight leap, he landed in front of the middle-aged Taoist.
The middle-aged Daoist priest looked at the young man who had suddenly appeared in front of him. He secretly made a hand seal and channeled a trace of magic power into his eyes. A golden light flashed in his eyes and he saw that Ye Xuan was not a demon, but a human. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief and said, "Little brother, it's late at night. Why are you walking alone in this dense forest? "
"Taoist priest, I'm Ye Xuan, an independent cultivator of Jianghu. I once stayed in Fugui Village, where I heard that there was a leopard in this mountain. Therefore, I wanted to come here to get rid of this evil beast. Who would have thought that the beast was so cunning? It ran around the mountains with me, but I killed it in the end. However, he got lost in the mountains. Fortunately, he heard the Taoist priest's voice. That's why I'm here! "Ye Xuan lied.
"So you're Warrior Ye. This humble Taoist priest is Fourth Eye. Greetings!" After hearing Ye Xuan's story, the Taoist priest's eyes flashed with a golden light. A golden light flashed in the Four-Eyed Taoist Priest's eyes. He was startled by Ye Xuan's majestic Yang Qi, but he didn't doubt Ye Xuan's words and bowed.
"You're too kind, Taoist priest. Just call me Ye Xuan!" After hearing the Taoist priest's name, Ye Xuan immediately knew who he was. He was the junior brother of the Ninth Uncle in "Zombie Taoist Priest", Four-Eyed Taoist Priest.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. Little Brother Ye, if you follow this road for another two hours, you'll reach the famous Pingyao Town within a radius of a hundred miles. I'm on my way to herd corpses. If Little Brother Ye doesn't mind, why don't you come with me?" The Taoist priest looked at the group of corpses behind him and said awkwardly.
Herding corpses was a very boring job. In order not to scare ordinary people, they would usually go out at night and pick remote places. They would be following a pile of corpses every day. Ordinary people would not even dare to look at them, let alone get close. Therefore, it was impossible to talk to them unless they had a disciple or a fellow cultivator.
For some reason, he had left his disciple, Xiao Le, at home to look after the house. He was the only one taking care of business, so there was no one to talk to along the way.
"That's perfect. With Taoist priest leading the way, I won't have to worry about getting lost." Ye Xuan did not refuse and nodded with a smile.
"Haha, then let's go!" Seeing Ye Xuan nod in agreement, the Four-eyed Taoist Priest laughed heartily and made a hand seal. Ye Xuan felt a wave of transcendence energy surge from the Four-eyed Taoist Priest's body. The runes on the talismans stuck on the zombie's head flashed with a golden light that was invisible to the naked eye. Then, the zombie, which had been standing motionless in the same place, suddenly trembled. Following the Four-eyed Taoist Priest's bell, it began to jump up and down.
Looking at the talismans stuck on the foreheads of these corpses, Ye Xuan's eyes flashed. He saw the runes on the talismans clearly and knew that they were called "Exorcism Talismans". It was a low-level yellow talisman. This talisman was recorded in the "Maoshan Secret Techniques", but Ye Xuan had only learned two types of talismans, the Soul Lock Talisman and the Disease Dispelling Talisman. Recently, he had been learning to make a more advanced "Exorcism Talisman", but he had only learned two-thirds of it. If he wanted to make a real Exorcism Talisman, he would need another four to five days.
"Little Brother Ye, when we reach Pingyao Town, if you don't have a place to stay, why don't you come with me to my Senior Brother's place? My Senior Brother is guarding the memorial hall in Pingyao Town. Little Brother Ye, you don't know, but speaking of my Senior Brother, back then … "Maybe it was because he had been alone for too long on the road, but when he finally met a living person, the Four-Eyed Taoist priest started to talk about his past.
Listening to the Four-Eyed Taoist priest's incessant rambling, the corner of Ye Xuan's mouth twitched slightly. He didn't say a word as he followed beside the Four-Eyed Taoist priest, listening to his every word. In fact, the Four-Eyed Taoist priest wasn't someone who didn't know what was important. Basically, he talked about things that happened when he first started learning Taoism, and sometimes he would complain about Lin Jiu's embarrassing moments when he was learning Taoism. As for himself, he said that Lin Jiu was wise and mighty.
"Ding! System mission has been issued. Random Mission: Help the Four-Eyed Taoist priest eliminate two century-old ghosts who came to rob the corpses. Mission completion reward: 3000 practice points. Mission failure deducts 2000 practice points. " Just as Ye Xuan was listening to the Four-Eyed Taoist priest's complaints, the system's voice suddenly rang out in his mind, startling Ye Xuan.
Did I hear it wrong, or did the system say it wrong? Ghosts came to rob the corpses? He had heard of robbers robbing people of money and sex, but why would these century-old ghosts want to rob the corpses? Could it be that they wanted to do that to the corpses?
Well, he really didn't understand the world of ghosts and corpses!
