"Aiyo!" Zhang Lang resumed his journey. He had not walked far when he suddenly felt that he had stepped on something and a cry of pain came.
Zhang Lang looked down and saw an old woman on the ground. The old woman was dressed in white clothes and rolled on the ground. Her hands were trembling as she crawled on the ground. She got up and fell down again. It seemed that Zhang Lang had stepped on her calf.
"Grandma, are you alright?" Zhang Lang hurriedly went forward to help the old woman up.
" At least you didn't break my old bones," the old woman said with trembling lips. She looked like she was in pain.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry…" Zhang Lang hurriedly apologized, but he was suddenly stunned.
"Did you encounter a ghost?" Zhang Lang suddenly became suspicious. He suddenly remembered that he was in the world of zombies. In the world of zombies, there were not only zombies but also ghosts.
" Then let's give it a try. I just happened to be rewarded with a Ghost Expelling Talisman when I signed in earlier." Zhang Lang made up his mind and immediately took out the Ghost Expelling Talisman from the System Space. When the Ghost Expelling Talisman met the woman, it immediately burned without fire and emitted a dazzling golden light. The golden light enveloped him and the old woman beside him.
Immediately after, the old woman beside Zhang Lang let out a painful cry. She was terrified. Surrounded by the golden light, her face was filled with malice and her expression changed in horror. Suddenly, like a piece of ice falling into boiling water, her body burned non-stop. The old man's body was like a sieve as white smoke came out of his body.
Ah!
The old woman screamed in agony as her body gradually turned transparent!
" It really is an old ghost," Zhang Lang thought to himself. He was also very curious. This was the first time he had encountered a ghost.
Soon, the old ghost seemed to have evaporated and slowly disappeared without a trace.
As the old ghost disappeared, the surrounding fog also slowly dissipated, returning to its original appearance. Looking around, it was a graveyard. No wonder he had encountered an old ghost here.
"Could this be the legendary ghost wall?!”Zhang Lang's heart was filled with shock. Fortunately, he was rewarded with a Ghost Expelling Talisman and successfully killed this old ghost. If not for that, Zhang Lang would not have been able to leave this forest tonight."I met a ghost the moment I arrived. I'm really lucky!”
Without the Ghost Expelling Talisman, Zhang Lang naturally did not have the confidence he had before, especially since he had encountered an old ghost and a ghost hitting the wall not long ago. He left and increased his speed to continue his journey.
Without Old Ghost's ghostly rampage, Zhang Lang quickly walked out of the forest. After walking for more than an hour, Zhang Lang finally calmed down. However, he looked at a small courtyard in front of him.
When Zhang Lang walked closer, he saw the two big words written on the plaque on the door-Mortuary.
The mortuary had existed since ancient times. It was a place where the corpses of those who died in foreign lands were placed as a Taoist temple. It was guarded by Maoshan Taoist priests and corpse herders.
As the saying goes, three people and four ghosts, Zhang Lang went forward and knocked on the wooden door three times.
Not long after, the door of the mortuary opened a crack, and a deformed and ugly fellow entered Zhang Lang's eyes.
The person stared at Zhang Lang cautiously and asked,""Who are you? Was he a human or a ghost? Why are you knocking on the door so late at night?"
"Of course it's a human. Have you ever seen a ghost with a shadow?”Zhang Lang pointed to the ground as he spoke. The light from the crack in the door shone on Zhang Lang's shadow on the ground."If I pass by this place and find a place to lodge a complaint, can you let me stay for the night?”
"I can't make the decision. Wait here. I want to ask.
"Only Master can do it." After the person finished speaking, he closed the door with a bang without any explanation.
Zhang Lang rubbed his nose awkwardly. He had actually been mistaken for a ghost. Helpless, he could only continue to wait.
Not long after, the door of the mortuary opened again. The person from before said,"Master has agreed to let you stay for the night. Come in!”
Then, he opened the door and let Zhang Lang in.
The courtyard of the mortuary was very cold and cheerless, and even gave people a gloomy feeling. Zhang Lang looked around and found that most of the rooms were tightly shut and pitch-black.
"May I know your name? How should I address you?" Zhang Lang asked.
"My name is Wen Cai, it's the name my master gave me.”
"Wencai?" Zhang Lang was stunned, but he thought of what this name represented."So this is the mortuary where Ninth Uncle is.”
" Hello, Wencai. My name is Zhang Lang," Zhang Lang said.
Soon after, Wen Cai led Zhang Lang to a relatively spacious hall. In the middle of the hall, there was a place where tea was fragrant. In front of it stood a Daoist in a yellow Daoist robe. He was currently offering incense with his back facing Zhang Lang and Wen Cai. He bowed and bowed from afar.
"Is this Ninth Uncle?" Zhang Lang thought to himself.
After the Daoist bowed three times from afar, he respectfully inserted the incense stick into the incense burner and chanted a few words in a low voice. Then, he turned around and looked at Zhang Lang.
" Young man, you're so bold. You actually dare to walk in the middle of the night." Zhang Lang was sure that this familiar face was Ninth Uncle.
At this moment, before Zhang Lang could reply, Wen Cai, who was at the side, introduced him first." Zhang Lang, this is my master. Everyone calls him Ninth Uncle.”
" Hello, Ninth Uncle. My name is Zhang Lang. I'm the new security guard in town,""My mother died of illness. I went home to send her off. I was in a hurry and didn't pay attention to the time, so I missed my accommodation.”
" I see. You're really lucky. Don't travel at night in the future." Ninth Uncle glanced at Zhang Lang and thought to himself, What a handsome young man."In that case, let Wen Cai bring you down to rest first.”
" Alright, thank you, Ninth Uncle." Zhang Lang raised his hand slightly to Ninth Uncle and bowed to him.
Ninth Uncle returned the greeting and turned to Wen Cai, who was beside him, and said,""Wencai, bring this little friend to the guest room to rest. Remember to bring a new blanket over.”
Wen Cai smiled and nodded. He immediately promised,"Master, don't worry. Leave this matter to me. I won't neglect the guests.”
Zhang Lang followed Wen Cai out of the hall and quickly thanked him,"Thank you, Wencai. Aren't you afraid of living here?”
This was the mortuary, and there were still many corpses in the morgue beside it. In his previous life, Zhang Lang had been very curious when he watched the movie. Now that he had the chance, he naturally had to ask.
Wen Cai grinned and shook his head.""It's good that you're used to it. I was originally an orphan. It was Master who raised me since I was young and took me in as his disciple. I've dealt with these corpses since I was young, so I'm not afraid anymore.”
" You're amazing." Zhang Lang gave Wen Cai a thumbs up.
When they arrived at the guest room, Wen Cai returned with a new blanket after leaving for a while. He then enthusiastically helped Zhang Lang lay out the blanket.
The two of them chatted for a while more before Wen Cai bid farewell to Zhang Lang and returned to his room to continue sleeping.
As for Zhang Lang, he had nothing to do that night and slept quietly until dawn.
