"Since he runs a funeral business and his surname is Guo, it must be him.”
I felt relieved.
"Why does your senior brother do this business? It's too demeaning." Xiao Ma was shocked.
"What do you know? It's just a cover."
In the middle of the shop, there was a coffin. On one side was a wreath of firecrackers, and on the other side was a wall filled with paper figurines.
A man was drawing the facial features of a paper figurine with a cinnabar pen. He was very focused.
He turned a blind eye to us entering the door.
I stood behind him for a long time and said,"This is a coffin shop.
If you make the paper figurine look too real, it will easily form an evil spirit.”
The man sneered and didn't even turn his head." What do you want?”
"You're the shop owner?" asked Little Ma.”
"You want to buy a coffin?"
"Bah, I'll give you a coffin even if I buy it. We are the Taoist priests of Mao Mountain!"
The man turned his head to look at him, smiled contemptuously, and continued with his work.
I told Xiao Ma to stop, cleared his throat, and said in a clear voice,
"The village gate is as deep as the sea.”
I just came out of the village. I need your help to get into society.
The man turned around and sized me up in surprise."Your surname?"
"Zhang." I'm the descendant of Heavenly Master Zhang, a member of the Dao Sect.
"Where did you come from?"
" A mountain to the south." The Southern Faction of Dao Sect was the Orthodox Faction, and the Maoshan Sect was one of them.
If the answer was a temple in the north, it would be the Northern Sect, the Quanzhen Sect.
"What's on the mountain?" the man asked.”
I replied,"The grass is all over the mountain."
Mao Mountain!
The man's face lit up as he asked,""Flower or wild grass?"
The outer sect or the inner sect.
I smiled and said,"A single seedling for twenty-one years."”。
He was an inner disciple and had been a disciple for 21 years.
"Junior Brother?" The man's eyes lit up.”
I cupped my fists and respectfully said,"Senior Brother Guo."”
The man took a deep breath and said excitedly,"I haven't returned to the village for twenty years.”
"You're still the same. You're always so indecent."
The man laughed loudly, completely relieved.
Daring to say Qingyun Zi was old and indecent, other than his direct disciple, who else was there?
"Come, let's talk inside." He pushed open the inner door of the store and invited me in.
Xiao Ma looked at us foolishly." F * ck, this is a secret agent meeting. There are so many code words. I'm so confused."”
"There are too many swindlers in the Jianghu, so we must guard against them."”
Behind the inner gate is a small living room. Old Guo brewed a pot of tea and reminisced with me.
He was very emotional when he mentioned the past.
"I stayed under Master for five years and learned some skills. I returned to my hometown and opened this shop.”
Old Guo sighed.
"After so many years, I've missed Master very much, but you also know that Mao Mountain has its rules.
Once an outer sect disciple graduated, they were not allowed to go up the mountain for the rest of their lives.
Little Junior Brother, you're really amazing. You're in your early twenties and you've already received Master's true teachings. Shixiong is ashamed!"
I scratched the back of my head." I'm currently studying at a university in Stone City. I'll be staying here for a long time. What's there to take care of, Senior Brother?"”
"You came at the right time."
Recently, I have a job that I can't take on alone. I was just about to find someone to partner with. Little Junior Brother, your Taoist skills are brilliant, so it definitely won't be a problem.”
I was stunned. Although Old Guo was an outer sect disciple, he had also learned some Maoshan techniques.
If even he couldn't handle it, it definitely wasn't an ordinary ghost. He quickly asked,"What is it?"
"Corpse Demon!"
"Corpse Devil?" I was shocked." There are Corpsedemons in the city too?”
" What's a Corpse Demon?" asked Little Horse.”
Old Guo glanced at me.”
"My classmate." I said," Senior Brother Guo, continue. What's with this ghost corpse?”
"There's a place called Lonely Mountain in Stone City. There are many bomb shelters there." Many vagrants and scavengers lived there. Since last month, there had been a continuous stream of vagrants dying tragically inside.
Each of their heads had been chewed into mush and their brains sucked dry. The government couldn't find the murderer, so they sealed the bomb shelter and didn't allow anyone to enter or leave.”
"One night last week, a public servant who was in charge of guarding the place died, just like the other victims.
Another guard was lucky enough to escape. When he came back, he kept saying that it was done by zombies. Only then did the public believe that it was a supernatural event. They found a monk, but it was useless!
I went straight into Shelter after hearing about it. I was really unlucky and bumped into that zombie. I saw that it was covered in white fur…"
"White Hair, you'll really become a corpse demon. You can't beat it."”
"Yeah, I knew I wasn't a match at first glance, so I ran away. Fortunately, I brought a lot of realgar and glutinous rice that day to block it for a while. Otherwise, I would have lost my old life.”
"Little Junior Brother, if you're interested, how about we go and get a ticket?"”
"Is there money to be made?" I asked.
"If there's no profit, I won't wake up early. If I don't have money to earn, why would I risk my life to fight a corpse demon?”
Old Guo had the standard smile of a profiteer on his face as he extended five fingers.
"50,000 yuan. It's the service fee given by the government.”
"50,000 to kill a corpse demon isn't much.”I said.
"50,000 isn't a lot?" Xiao Ma shouted," I'll do it! I'll do it too!"”
I rolled my eyes at him." Why are you joining in the fun? What can you do?”
"I'll go and carry a bag for you, bring you some tea or water. Just give me some money when the time comes, hehe.”
Xiao Ma smiled.
"Just let him go. He might still be useful." Old Guo smiled.”
The three of them went out. When they walked past the row of paper figurines, I suddenly stopped.
He pointed at one of the paper figurines and said,"There's at most half a month before this one becomes an evil spirit."”
"What I want is for it to become an evil spirit." Old Guo laughed sinisterly.”
"What do you mean?" I frowned.
"We'll talk when we get back. Let's go."
After walking out of the alley, Old Guo told us to wait while he drove a small car over to the side of the road.
I didn't recognize the car logo, but judging from the appearance of the car, it couldn't be any more broken. It definitely wasn't a good car.
"Senior Brother, you've been earning a lot these years. Why are you driving such a broken car?"”
"Haha, this is called not showing off my wealth. This area is full of old neighbors, so I can't show off too much.”
Xiao Ma and I looked at each other gloomily. How stingy must he be to worry about others borrowing money every day?
On the way, Xiao Ma asked what a corpse demon was.
I couldn't bear to pester him, so I explained to him,"Ghosts, demons, zombies, and spirits are all divided into levels.
The levels of zombies were Zombie, Spirit Corpse, Corpse Demon, and Corpse King, and their characteristics were also different.
Corpse demons had white fur all over their bodies, and they were also called white-furred zombies. They had a cultivation base of more than 500 years, and were considered very powerful.”
When Xiao Ma heard that the corpse demon was so strong, he looked a little uncomfortable and asked,"More powerful than the water zombie we encountered last night?”
"The water corpse only looks disgusting and scary. It's not on the same level as the corpse demon.”Xiao Ma took a deep breath." Alright, you guys have to protect me when the time comes.”
"Don't worry, don't worry!"
Old Guo glanced at him and smiled cunningly.
