Chapter 9: Subduing the Zombies
Zhang Zifan has led the villagers to find the half-corpse body and cremate it. However, no trace of the jumping corpse was found. "Damn it." Zhang Zifan scolded angrily.
If it was at night, I am afraid that with his ability, he would not be able to subdue it, but fortunately, he was smart enough to pull Ji Ruxi.
The half-corpse was engulfed by the flames of the sun, and again and again with the fire got up and fell down, in pain, everyone covered their eyes, not daring to look at this bloody scene, and the half-corpse finally turned to ashes. Who can believe it if they don't see it with their own eyes?
They pooled some money to Zhang Zifan and asked Zhang Zifan to do a ritual for the dead to surpass their souls.
The night is coming again, Zhang Zifan gathered everyone in the county office, and the spirit runes were pasted outside. Someone proposed to use black dog blood to defend himself, but Zhang Zifan stopped him, but he didn't know that this thing would be even more powerful than before when it encountered blood. Zhang Zifan kept the prepared glutinous rice and ink fountain thread to defend themselves.
The old man, the woman, the girl and the child were in the middle, and the young man was holding something on the side, and everyone was so worried that they didn't dare to come out. Ji Ruxi left Qiankun behind and gave him a bell bracelet.
"If there is danger, shake this Ling, and I will definitely appear immediately." Qiankun tugged on Ji Ruxi's sleeve and gestured, "I want to follow you." Ji Ruxi shook her head at him. No, it's too dangerous, I'm afraid you'll be hurt, it's safe here for the time being, can you wait here for me to come back? Qiankun nodded and let go of Ji Ruxi.
"You take good care of him, and if he loses a hair, don't blame me for being unkind." After Ji Ruxi finished speaking, the county master was the first to speak. "Please rest assured, the girl will not let anything happen to Qiankun, and the people of Qingping will all rely on the girl." The words are earnest.
Ji Ruxi and Zhang Zifan went to find the jumping corpse together. They found the coffin that had jumped into it yesterday, and there was only an abandoned building next to it.
The coffin had been sucked in by the corpse, and Zhang Zifan had not opened it even after wasting his strength, Ji Ruxi couldn't help but feel funny when he looked at Zhang Zifan who was sweating profusely. Stretching out his palm, he inhaled all the corpse qi into his body, and the lid of the coffin opened suddenly.
The inside was empty, Zhang Zifan looked at the coffin as empty as during the day, carefully observed the coffin, and found that there was something similar to a mechanism. After pushing in, a large amount of corpse poison gushed out, and when the corpse poison dissipated, there was still a coffin inside. It turned out to be a coffin within a coffin, and it seems that it was hidden in it during the day, so it was not found.
"Not good." Zhang Zifan shouted. I don't know where it ran at the moment.
Ji Ruxi Yungong filled in all the surrounding stones, flew to the county office with Zhang Zifan, landed on the roof, and observed the surrounding movements.
Zhang Zifan patted Ji Ruxi's shoulder dumbfounded, "It's, it's there." Ji Ruxi followed Zhang Zifan's finger and saw that on the roof opposite, the zombie was looking at the people below through the skylight. Since the clothes are black, if it weren't for the two glowing blue eyes, no one would have noticed that there was a living thing.
Ji Ruxi rushed to the house before the zombies fell, leaving Zhang Zifan in place. In the middle are all old people and children, without the slightest ability to resist. The most important thing is that the little Qiankun she just found is still there.
Seeing the zombies jumping from above, people fled in all directions in fear. Ji Ruxi stood opposite the zombie. The zombie seemed to be very annoyed and dared to pounce on Ji Ruxi. Ji Ruxi was not in a hurry, and knocked him out of the door with one palm, and the zombie saw that he was not an opponent and quickly fled from the county office. Ji Ruxi didn't want to be treated as a monster by someone here, besides, the spirit of this zombie's corpse resentment was very beneficial to his cultivation, so there was no reason not to.
Ji Ruxi pulled Zhang Zifan and chased him out. The zombie was very angry when he saw that his coffin had been blocked, and jumped around in place, his sharp fingers cutting the coffin several times.
It seemed to have discovered the existence of a person, and its two glowing eyes stared directly at Zhang Zifan, and Zhang Zifan wanted to pull Ji Ruxi next to him. After touching it several times, no one was there, and when I turned around, I saw that Ji Ruxi didn't know where to go.
"Oh no, this girl has a grudge." Zhang Zifan patted his thigh in annoyance, turned around and ran.
But no matter how he ran, he didn't jump as fast as that guy, and he was about to catch up, so Zhang Zifan had no choice but to run to the small building to avoid the limelight temporarily. Although the zombies couldn't go up the stairs, they still didn't want to let go of Zhang Zifan, so they broke the planks one by one and wanted to demolish the small building.
Zhang Zifan took out the sword spirit rune and had to fight hard. He recited the spell and picked up the sword and slashed at the zombies. The zombie was really afraid of the sword and didn't dare to step forward, at this time, the zombie pondered and jumped behind Zhang Zifan, and pushed Zhang Zifan to the ground with a fierce force, and the sword also fell to the side.
"Your grandma's, chase your old son." Before he finished speaking, the zombie pounced and stared at Zhang Zifan with two big fangs. As if to say, "Let you fill Lao Tzu's house and bite you to death." Ji Ruxi was lying on a big tree not far away, watching the excitement.
Zhang Zifan shouted while blocking the mouth of the zombies: "Ji Ruxi, I am also your savior and have helped you so much, you can't die without help." The stench coming out of the zombie's mouth was about to stun Zhang Zifan.
"Okay, okay, aunt, I was wrong, you save me, I shouldn't be careful to calculate you, sins, sins, I ...... I'm dying, I don't dare anymore. ”
Ji Ruxi came over and threw the zombie to the ground. Pressing his hand on the zombie's forehead, using the essence of the moon to take all of its corpse energy as his own, the zombie screamed in pain.
After losing energy, the zombie was weakened, as if it had returned to the level of white stiffness, and was subdued by Zhang Zifan's paper spell. As he walked, he hit the zombie's head and said something in his mouth: "Let you kill, let you get stuck, sample, it's over." Just because you want to hurt the master, it's really beyond your strength, hum. ”
Ji Ruxi's refusal to help hurt Zhang Zifan, and he moved the zombie from the wilderness all the way back to the county office. Seeing that the culprit had been caught, everyone hurriedly thanked Ji Ruxi and Zhang Zifan, shouting that the two of them were immortals who descended to earth and hung pots to help the world, and Zhang Zifan's name has been widely spread in Qingping Town since then. It's just that the girl in red didn't leave her name, and everyone who saw her never forgot it. She took the orphan Qiankun, the little boy who was almost burned to death by their misunderstanding.
They didn't take a penny from them, and statues were made for them to thank them for saving their lives, so that their saving grace would be remembered for generations to come.
Ji Ruxi's underground palace was well kept by her loyal men, and just after receiving a message from them, Chu Zhehan was ordering someone to secretly search for the whereabouts of Xuanyuan Sword.
Ji Ruxi remembered the battle in the world in the early years, other small countries have been destroyed, only Chu and Yan are evenly matched, and they have not been superior for many years.
That year, the Yan State came to invade Chu Zhehan and asked Ying to go to quell the rebellion, and resisted the 100,000 army of the Yan State with 30,000 soldiers. was impressed by this inconspicuous son, with the help of the Ji family and the financial support of the Ji family, he soon stood out and won the position of prince.
Later, he ascended the throne as the emperor and killed decisively, and led the troops south to annihilate the entire Yan Kingdom, which took less than three months to dominate the world. It's particularly strange to think about it now.
Ji Ruxi asked Chu Zhehan how to win so quickly, and Chu Zhehan said a word, and everyone was in the joy of victory, and naturally no one explored the process anymore.
Ji Ruxi also tried to ask the accompanying soldiers and officials, their answers were the same, they couldn't remember what happened at that time, the strange thing was that after the war, he didn't feel that there was no blood on the weapons in his hands, but the enemy had all fallen under his feet and no one survived.
It's not human. Besides, there are very few people who know about Xuanyuan Sword, and Ji Ruxi only learned that Xuanyuan Sword is the nemesis of corpse qi in the ancient books of Zhang Zifan's ancestor, how did he know about it. There are more and more mysteries on Chu Zhehan's body, but he has never paid attention to them. Now it is even more important to prevent him from doing something wrong to him, and now he is no longer alone. Ji Ruxi hadn't smiled so sincerely for a long time.
Qiankun is very obedient, when he is tired, he grinds Zhang Zifan's back and hugs him, and every time he succeeds, he smiles at Ji Ruxi, which is very cute.
It reminded Ji Ruxi that he also bullied Shangguan Qing like this when he was a child, he was really happy at that time, and Shangguan Qing was always helpless by himself. Sometimes it's even covered in scars.
"Brother Qing, do you want to eat honey, it's sweet and fragrant." Ji Ruxi said, drooling in her mouth.
"Where can I find honey?" Seeing Ji Ruxi's gluttony, Shangguan Qing also felt that he wanted to eat it.
Ji Ruxi led Shangguan Qing to the pillar of the main hall, where there was a beehive built on it, and a few bees flew around.
"Look, I asked secretly, and they told me that the honey was there, and that it was made by bees." Shangguan Qing glanced at Honeycomb and nodded thoughtfully.
"I'll go find a bamboo pole, and I'll have honey to eat in a while, wait for Ah Ruxi." Ji Ruxi nodded and waited for Shangguan Qing in place. They are changing their teeth, and the elders are always watching them and not letting them eat sweet.
After a while, Guan Qing came back, really took a long bamboo pole, and a bucket of honeycomb fell down, with many holes on it. The two of them only heard a buzzing sound, and they didn't see any honey at all. Then a swarm of bees flew over.
"Ru Xi, run." Shangguan Qing shouted, took Ji Ruxi's hand and began to run. But the bees still kept chasing after them.
"Brother Qing, I can't run, I'm afraid." Ji Ruxi was panting, and her voice was a little trembling.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." When the bees caught up, Shangguan Qing lay on Ji Ruxi's body, covered with bags stung by the bees, and he didn't make a sound. By the time the servants found them and carried them to Guanqing, he was already unconscious, but Ji Ruxi below did not have the slightest scar.
Ji Ruxi sat next to Shangguan Qing and refused to leave until he woke up.
Ji Ruxi looked at the sleeping Qiankun next to him: "This time, I will protect you." He scratched his nose dotingly. Another person entered Ji Ruxi's illusion, Ji Ruxi never imagined that it would be Lin Anli, today's Li Guifei, Lin Ziyu's biological daughter.
Through the red curtain, Lin Anli couldn't see Ji Ruxi's face clearly, if she knew that it was Ji Ruxi sitting inside, she didn't know how she should feel.
"Are you the one who can help others achieve anything?" The voice is cold and arrogant, not at all like the weak and can't help the wind and birds on weekdays. Ji Ruxi looked at Lin Anli, who was scarred all over her face at the moment, and the resentment on her body was really heavy.
"I really don't know who taught you the rules to beg others to be so arrogant. It's also that my father is dead, and I'm afraid that no one will teach it. Ji Ruxi unceremoniously gave Lin Anli a few words.
"You." Lin Anli temperament.
Ji Ruxi thought that Lin Anli would let herself help her restore her appearance, but the result was beyond Ji Ruxi's expectations.
"Since you know who I am, I don't have to hide it, I want to ask you to save the emperor, no matter what the cost." Lin Anli's expression was very painful, and Ji Ruxi was also startled, isn't Chu Zhehan good? How can someone save it?
"I found out that the emperor is not alone, no, to be precise, there are two people living in his body. He was the usual person before his childhood, and he changed after his childhood, and he changed. Now it seems like he's almost completely transformed into that horrible person, you know, you know? Lin Anli grabbed her head and fell into a state of madness. Please save him, save him, save him......" Immediately afterwards, Lin Anli was taken out of the illusion by a mysterious force, which was the illusory city compiled by Ji Ruxi.
Ji Ruxi was confused by Lin Anli's words, what was going on. Before Ji Ruxi could invite Lin Anli to ask clearly, the imperial capital came to report the secret. Lin Anli died suddenly in the dormitory, and immediately mourned and rested in Huiling.
All this is bothering Ji Ruxi like a mystery, what is the powerful force that took away Lin Anli. It seems that he is destined to be left alone.
"Ru Xi, you see that our next place is going to Tongzhou Mansion, and it is recorded in the book that the fragments of the fallen tear crystal can be found here, and we are one step closer to the end of the earth." Ji Ruxi nodded, she must find the tear crystal quickly in order to solve these mysteries one by one.
They passed through many small towns like Qingping Town, quiet and peaceful, and finally arrived at the first stop, Tongzhou Mansion. It's a lot bigger and more lively than those small towns. Most of the stalls around are selling krathongs, and it turns out that today is the Midyear Festival. They'll have to stay here for a while, and they'll have to find clues to the ends of the earth.
"Sugar gourd, delicious sugar gourd." Hearing the shouting, Zhang Zifan volunteered to buy three, and seeing that the two of them were eating with relish, Ji Ruxi also felt a little sweet, but it was not in her mouth, she had no sense of taste. If it weren't for the fact that she had become a zombie by mistake, she would only be a carrion corpse in a mass grave with no identity.
At night, Ji Ruxi and Zhang Zifan took Qiankun to the river to put water lanterns, all kinds of them are so beautiful. Everyone's krathong sank, indicating that the wish had come true, only Ji Ruxi's krathong was spinning in place, and it didn't go down.
There were a lot of people gathered around, and seeing that this situation quickly dispersed, they went home and closed the door, and the lively Midyear Festival became empty, and it was really a good thing not to go out and a bad thing to spread thousands of miles.
Back at the inn, the door to the inn was closed, and their baggage was thrown out the door. Zhang Zifan was furious and knocked on the door fiercely, no matter how much he knocked, no one paid attention to him.
