Night had unknowingly fallen, and Ling Xiao had also woken up from his meditation. He was in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth were curled up into a smile.
Name: Ling Xiao
[Genre: Male]
[Occupation: Maoshan Taoist]
[Age: 18]
[Cultivation: Peak Rank-9]
[Dao Technique: Early Qi Gatherer]
[Merit Points: 420]
The fusion of cultivation techniques, the advancement of cultivation, the early stage of Qi Gatherer, and the entry level of mantras. However, it could be said that he had embarked on the path of cultivation in one day. It was fast!
There were three stages in the Qi Gatherer stage of the Mao Mountain Taoist skills. They were Qi Sensing, Qi Gatherer, and Qi Receiving.
[Early stage of Qi Gatherer: Sense Spirit Qi.]
Middle stage of Qi Gatherer: Qi Gatherer into the body.
[Late stage of Qi Channeling: Absorb spiritual energy.]
Sensing the time, Ling Xiao realized that it was getting late. He immediately left the mortuary and went to the yamen first. With money, no one would stop him. He smoothly handed over the things he had prepared to Ninth Uncle.
After signing in, Ling Xiao left the yamen and turned around to head to the Ren residence.
[Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully. You have received a Five Thunder Talisman.]
[New check-in location has been refreshed. New check-in location is the nameless cave in the back mountain.]
Deputy prefect Ren
The Ren family's main hall had already become a mourning hall.
Ren Tingting was dressed in white mourning clothes. She folded the paper money and burned it. Her expression was miserable as she sobbed non-stop.
Ling Xiao entered the main hall and found a stool at the side. He sat down quietly and looked at Ren Tingting, who was sitting opposite him.
"Why are you alone?”Ling Xiao asked curiously. The Ren family had many servants.
" Everyone is afraid. They all run away at night," Ren Tingting cried.
" My condolences." Ling Xiao was helpless. Ren Tingting was a pitiful person. First, Old Master Ren turned into a zombie. Then, his father, Ren Fa, died. Soon, he would also turn into a zombie.
Zombies claimed her life and her family was destroyed. This was Ren Tingting's sorrow.
In response, Ling Xiao could only apologize. He was forced by the system's mission. Although he knew how the entire situation developed, he could only stand by and watch for the sake of the mission.
The two of them stopped talking. Only Ren Tingting's occasional sobs and the sound of flames burning in the brazier could be heard in the hall.
Unknowingly, it was already midnight.
Ling Xiao's tightly shut eyes suddenly opened as he looked at the door. Outside the door, an ugly human-shaped monster dressed in a clean official's uniform quietly appeared.
" Be careful, it's coming," Ling Xiao said in a low voice, but he was reminding Ren Tingting.
When Ren Tingting heard Ling Xiao's words, she was instantly terrified.
Bang!
Clang!
Immediately after, the iron door that had been sealed shut was pushed to the ground by the zombie's hands. With a loud bang, dust instantly rose in the courtyard.
" Don't be afraid. Come behind me." Ling Xiao glanced at Ren Tingting. She was a tear-stained beauty, dressed in a filial robe, and looked very pitiful.
When Ren Tingting heard that, she quickly got up and hid behind Ling Xiao.
The zombie hopped into the Ren family's main hall. He was coming for Ren Tingting, and Ren Tingting was hiding behind Ling Xiao. Naturally, the zombie jumped towards Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao did not panic at all when facing the zombie, Great-Grandfather Ren.
With a thought, a talisman appeared in Ling Xiao's hand. He chanted the Maoshan incantation, and the Five Thunder Talisman turned into a Five Thunder Spell that struck the zombie. The zombie immediately cried out in pain, and crackling sounds of lightning could be heard from its body.
" Lei Fa can deal with all kinds of monsters, so naturally, he can deal with zombies. It's true," Ling Xiao thought.
This Five Thunder Talisman was the reward Ling Xiao had received for signing in at the prison earlier. It was a perfect opportunity to use it against Great-Grandfather Ren.
The Maoshan talisman was a rather special existence. It required magic power to draw a straight person, but it did not need it at all when it was used. Even an ordinary person could use it freely.
Although Ling Xiao had also embarked on the path of cultivation, his current Tao technique was only at the beginner level. It was obviously impossible for him to deal with the zombie in front of him with just his meager mana. Therefore, Ling Xiao chose the Five Thunder Talisman that was rewarded for signing in.
"Heaven and earth are boundless, heaven and earth borrow laws. I worship the ancestors of the Three Pure Ones. Give me divine power, and five thunderbolts will fall from the sky. Those who obey me live, those who resist me die. I'm in a hurry. Five Thunder Curse, ha!"
Five-Blow-Thunderstruck. The zombie was in pain, but it had no intention of giving up. It continued to jump in Ling Xiao's direction.
Seeing that the zombie was already in front of her, she could almost see the zombie's empty face, causing Ren Tingting to scream in surprise.
"Bang!"
Ling Xiao punched out with all his strength, a punch at the peak of the Postliminary Realm. The zombie was sent flying out of the hall by Ling Xiao and fell into the courtyard. However, it seemed to be unharmed. In the next moment, it stood up straight.
" This zombie is too difficult to deal with." Ling Xiao laughed and cried. The Five Thunder Talisman did not work. The punch of a peak Houtian Realm expert landed on the zombie's body, but it seemed to have only scratched its itch.
"D * mn it, let's go all out!" Seeing the zombie hopping over, Ling Xiao was determined. He began to gather his magic power and chanted an incantation.
"Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, All, Array, Line, Front, Move!”Ling Xiao chanted an incantation and his hands moved along with the incantation.
[Lin: Raise your index fingers and bend the other fingers.]
Soldier: The index finger of the second hand is upright, so that the middle finger is overlapped, the little finger and the ring finger are bent and combined, and the thumb is upright.
Dou: Ring finger, middle finger, thumb upright, little finger, index finger curved combination.
The forefinger and thumb stand upright, and the other fingers meet at the nail.
[All]: All fingers bent outwards.
[Formation: All fingers bent inward.]
Line: Stand up the index finger of your left hand, hold it with your right hand, and put your thumb inside.
Front: The thumb and index finger of both hands form a circle.
[OK: Circle the thumb and index finger of your left hand, then gently clench the other fingers of your left hand into a fist, covering your left hand with your right hand.]
" They ran away, they ran away," Ren Tingting, who was behind him, quickly pulled Ling Xiao and pointed at the zombie outside the door.
Ling Xiao almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He gathered all his mana to activate the Dao Sect's Nine Words Mantra. Just as he finished, the zombie on the opposite side ran away first.
"It can't be, right? Could it be that this zombie had already developed its initial intelligence?”Ling Xiao was speechless.
" It's okay, I know." Although Ling Xiao was speechless about the escaping zombie, he still comforted Ren Tingting,""You stay at home and don't go anywhere. I'll go after that zombie.”
" I'm scared." Ren Tingting tugged at Ling Xiao's sleeve and refused to let go. She stared at Ling Xiao pitifully, wanting him to stay behind to protect her.
" Don't worry, Ninth Uncle will be back soon. You'll be safe at home." Ling Xiao did not give any explanation. The zombie of the Ren family was related to his mission. How could he let him escape so easily? After saying that, he disappeared in front of Ren Tingting in a flash and appeared outside the Ren residence.
Looking from afar, the zombie was hopping towards the forest in the distance.
Ling Xiao was not in a hurry. Instead, he followed the zombie from afar.
Ling Xiao had done this on purpose. He suspected that the zombie was being controlled by someone, and the person with the greatest suspicion was the Ren family's Feng Shui master from 20 years ago.
...
At this moment, Ninth Uncle, Wen Cai, and Qiu Sheng were in a different situation.
Old Master Ren's corpse suddenly jumped up from the bed. He stretched out his hands and pounced at Wu Shiwei.
Ah Wei was lucky and just happened to move. Old Master Ren missed him and pounced past him. His fingers stabbed into a pillar at the side. With a stab and a pull, ten finger holes appeared on the pillar.
Even a fool like Ah Wei knew fear. He turned his gaze and exclaimed,"Uncle!"
"He's a zombie now." Qiu Sheng shouted and jumped up.
Old Master Ren's corpse turned and jumped towards Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng. Qiu Sheng was flustered and dodged left and right. Wu Shiwei seized the opportunity and quickly walked towards the door.
Seeing that Qiu Sheng was in danger, Ninth Uncle hurriedly shouted,"Wen Cai, Qiu Sheng, stop breathing!”
Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng immediately understood and quickly pinched their foreheads and noses.
Old Master Ren immediately lost his target and stood rooted to the spot.
At this time, Ah Wei had already rushed to the door. He slammed the door with both hands and shouted,"Open the door!"
There was no response from outside the door. Ah Wei then remembered what he had instructed him to do. He turned around and saw that Old Master Ren was already approaching. He could not be bothered to call out anymore and hurriedly dodged. He was lucky enough to rush past Old Master Ren and walk towards Ninth Uncle.
....
Ling Xiao followed Great-grandfather Ren into the forest. He remembered that in the original plot, Great-grandfather Ren had fled into the forest and hid in a cave in the mountain. Ah Wei led his men to search for him, but they encountered a gorilla and fled in panic. Beside the gorilla was the cave that Great-grandfather Ren was hiding in.
What Ling Xiao did not know was that there was indeed a gorilla on the mountain at the moment. It was currently lying at the entrance of a cave, and not far from this cave, there was another cave that was where Great-Grandfather Ren was about to hide.
In the cave behind the gorilla, there were two Taoist priests in Taoist robes hiding. One was an old man and the other was a young man. The old man was over a hundred years old, and the young man was over thirty years old.
"Master, why would a zombie bite its own blood relative first?”The young man asked.
It turned out that the old man and the young man were actually a pair of master and disciple.
"Why?" "Of course, a family has to be neat and tidy," the old man said sinisterly.”
"Master, are we really leaving just like that?”The young man asked again.
" Yes, after tonight," the old man said,""After tonight, when the Ren family's old master has sucked Ren Tingting's blood, we will leave tomorrow morning.”
" Congratulations, Master, for saving your revenge from twenty years ago," the young man said.
The old man laughed and felt better. He said,"" Twenty years ago, I finally found that dragonfly's skimming on the water's surface acupoint. It was originally reserved for me to use after a hundred years, but it was forcefully taken away by that hateful Old Master Ren. He actually dared to offend me. With a little trick, I made him lose a huge sum of money and die of anger. I won't let him off easily after he dies. I made a slight modification to that dragonfly's skimming on the water's surface acupoint and made it an excellent place to raise corpses. I want his Ren family to end their descendants.”
" It's a pity that the Yin vein next door is a good place to refine corpses," the young man said regretfully.
" That's true." The old man felt extremely regretful when he heard this."I've already refined that Old Master Ren. Originally, Ren Fa could have turned you into a zombie too. It was all because of that hateful Lin Jiu. The Maoshan Sect is really persistent! If it weren't for Lin Jiu, the two of us would have had one zombie each.”
When the young man heard this, his heart ached. The main combat strength of the Mao Mountain Corpse Refining Technique was the refined zombie. He said,"Master, will there be any problems?”
" Don't worry, there won't be any accidents," the old man said." I've already asked around. Lin Jiu and his disciple have been captured and brought to the yamen. Ren Fa's corpse has also been taken. He will definitely turn into a corpse tonight. If he can bite Lin Jiu to death, that would be even better. At that time, not only will we be a thorn in our side, but the zombie you lost will also be found.”
It turned out that this master and disciple were the Feng Shui master who had found the dragonfly skimming the water twenty years ago.
This master and disciple were originally Taoists on Mao Mountain. Because their master's talent was not good enough, it was difficult for him to improve his mantras. However, he had other thoughts. He stole the secret corpse refining technique of Mao Mountain and betrayed Mao Mountain.
The Corpse Refining Technique was a secret technique of Mao Mountain. Only the sect master and some elders could cultivate it. Even Taoist Priest Four-Eyed was only lucky enough to learn the Corpse Herding Technique of the Corpse Refining Technique. He earned his living money by relying on the Corpse Herding Technique.
