After instructing Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng to stay behind and light the incense array, Ninth Uncle and Ye Xuan headed back to the memorial hall. ↑ Top Novel
"Brother Ye, I … I'm really sorry!" Ninth Uncle looked at Ye Xuan guiltily as he walked with Ye Xuan.
"Ninth Uncle, you don't have to be like this. Things are not as bad as you think. Great-Grandfather Ren's corpse has not turned into a zombie yet. There's still a chance …" Ye Xuan wanted to comfort Ninth Uncle. However, as soon as he finished speaking, a system notification rang in his head.
"Ding! System Quest Issued. Random Quest: Eliminate Great-Grandfather Ren who has turned into a zombie. Quest Reward: 15000 Cultivation Points. Quest Failure: 8000 Cultivation Points Deducted. "
"Brother Ye, what's wrong?" Ninth Uncle asked worriedly when he saw Ye Xuan stop halfway through his sentence.
"Damn it!" Ye Xuan could not help but curse when he heard the system notification in his head. Since the system had already issued this task, it meant that he had already failed the previous task. Including the previous failed task, he had already failed twice in a row. He had not earned a single Cultivation Point in this world, and he even had 5,000 Cultivation Points deducted.
"Ninth Uncle, we have to go back quickly. I suspect that the corpse has turned into a zombie. We have to go back and set it up as soon as possible. Otherwise, we might hurt the innocent!" Ye Xuan did not bother being courteous with Ninth Uncle and said directly.
Ninth Uncle's expression changed when he heard Ye Xuan's words. If what Ye Xuan said was true, that the corpse had turned into a zombie and went out to harm people, then he would be a sinner today. He had stopped Ye Xuan from burning the corpse for his own benefit and harmed the people of Pingyao Town. If that happened, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.
The two of them did not speak anymore and rushed back to the memorial hall.
When they returned to the memorial hall, the sky was getting dark. The two of them entered the memorial hall. However, he discovered that the memorial hall was very quiet. There was not a single person there, and there was a coffin placed in front of the courtyard.
Both of them quickly walked to the coffin and lifted the lid to take a look. They heaved a sigh of relief when they discovered that Great-Grandfather Ren's corpse was still there. Ye Xuan was most afraid that his appearance would lead to a change in the plot. If Great-Grandfather Ren wasn't sent to the memorial hall and ended up becoming a zombie outside, that would be the most troublesome thing. Now, his corpse was still here. Then there was still hope.
"Oh no, Brother Ye, look, his fingernails …" The Ninth Uncle pointed at Great-Grandfather Ren's fingers in the coffin. The fingernails that were originally trimmed neatly had actually become five inches long. Moreover, the fingernails had become glossy blue. With one look, one could tell that they were filled with corpse poison.
"This corpse has already begun to morph." Ye Xuan examined it for a while, then opened the corpse's mouth to take a look. "Ninth Uncle. Look, he's already starting to grow zombie teeth. When the zombie teeth grow, he'll really become a corpse without any humanity. A zombie that bites anyone it sees. "
The Ninth Uncle extended his head to take a look. Sure enough, he saw two short and sharp canine teeth growing out of Great-Grandfather Ren's teeth. The Ninth Uncle's expression became somewhat solemn. He looked at Ye Xuan and said, "Brother Ye. Have you ever encountered a zombie? What should we do now? "
(PS: In this movie, the Ninth Uncle had never encountered a zombie before. This would explain why he had to look up ancient books in order to treat Wen Cai and deal with zombies.)
"I've encountered a zombie during my travels, but at that time, a Taoist expert subdued that zombie. At that time, that Taoist expert directly burned it to death with fire. However, Ninth Uncle, since you've already promised Great-Grandfather Ren, this method won't work anymore. I'll temporarily use a talisman to suppress him so that he won't be able to turn into a zombie so soon. Ninth Uncle, go and look up ancient books again to see if there are any other ways to eliminate zombies. "
After saying that, Ye Xuan flipped his right hand, and a middle-level evil suppression talisman appeared in his hand. Under the astonished gaze of the Ninth Uncle, Ye Xuan activated his magic power. The evil suppression talisman flashed with a golden light, and a copious amount of magic power gushed out of the talisman. With a slap of his right hand, the talisman directly pasted on the forehead of the corpse that was turning into a zombie.
"Oh!" After the evil suppression talisman was pasted on, the originally motionless corpse actually trembled as if it had been struck by lightning. A hideous and painful expression appeared on its wrinkled face. After struggling for a while, it became motionless again.
"The corpse's zombie transformation has really been suppressed!" The Ninth Uncle checked and found that the corpse's zombie transformation had indeed been suppressed. He then cupped his hands towards Ye Xuan and said, "It turns out that Brother Ye is a Taoist. My eyes are clouded, and I apologize for my disrespect! My apologies! "
"Ninth Uncle, you're too kind. I've only learned a few basic skills." Ye Xuan was polite. He then looked around the front yard and said, "Ninth Uncle, I don't think this coffin is suitable to be placed here. It's too eye-catching. Why don't we put it in the backyard?"
"Why not put it in the morgue?" The Ninth Uncle asked in confusion.
"I once met a Taoist expert who said that although sunlight can't destroy zombies, it can suppress the zombies' abilities. It can eliminate Yin Qi and Evil Qi. Also, the more spacious the place is, the more we can deal with the zombies." Ye Xuan answered.
"Master, bad news, bad news …" Just as the two of them were talking, Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng suddenly ran in with a panicked look on their faces.
"Why are you so flustered? What's wrong?" The Ninth Uncle scolded the two of them.
"Master, look …" Wen Cai passed the incense in his hand to the Ninth Uncle.
The Ninth Uncle took the incense from Wen Cai and sighed, "People are most afraid of three long and two short incense sticks. The worst thing to do is to burn two short and one long incense stick. Unfortunately, it burned like this. Sigh, someone must have died because of this incense. Daoist Ye, it seems like I've made a mistake. "
"Master, were you talking about Old Master Ren's house just now?" Wen Cai heard the Ninth Uncle's words, but he didn't catch the main point.
"Nonsense, don't tell me it's here?" Uncle Jiu slapped Wen Cai's head and directly shut him up.
"Ah, Master, why did Old Master Ren put on weight? Is it really like what Mr. Ye said, that he's going to become a zombie?" Qiu Sheng walked to the side and saw Old Master Ren's coffin with a talisman stuck on it.
"That's right. Old Master Ren's corpse has already become a zombie. Both of you be careful. This zombie is different from your Uncle-Master's walking corpses. Whether you're caught or bitten, you'll die!" The Ninth Uncle warned the two of them. He was afraid that the two of them would be injured by the zombie.
"Ah! It's that powerful?! " Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng retreated in fear when they heard the Ninth Uncle's words. Wen Cai, who was just pleading for the Ren family, looked at the zombie in the coffin and said in fear, "Master, why don't we just burn it?"
"Ah, who was the one who spoke up for him just now? Now you're afraid?" Qiu Sheng looked at Wen Cai and deliberately laughed.
"If you're not afraid, why are you hiding so far away?" Wen Cai retorted.
"I didn't say I wasn't afraid. I don't know who was on the mountain just now …"
The two of them were scared just now, but now they seemed to have forgotten that there was a zombie in front of them. Ye Xuan really didn't know if they were brave or brainless.
"Alright, both of you shut up. Wen Cai, Qiu Sheng, come over and cover the coffin. Let's carry it to the backyard."
