Chapter 32: The Night Fight

It was getting dark, and the moon was obscured by dark clouds. Master woke me up from my sleep, and together we went to a brightly lit tent. Due to the lack of sunlight at night, the corpses of the Ming Dynasty may appear at any time. So the tent was surrounded by heavily armed soldiers.

Lao Liu picked up a shotgun and looked at us and nodded, signaling that he was ready to go at any time. Behind Lao Liu was a group of soldiers wearing protective suits and carrying flamethrowers.

Lao Qin walked over, patted his master's shoulder and said with a smile: "Wang Daochang, I have worked hard for you this time. Rest assured, it's over. I'll let the bureau give you a commendation. ”

Master shook his head: "There is no need for commendation, just invite me to a good drink." Lao Liu smiled: "Don't worry, I still have a box of Moutai in my office!" ”

Master sighed in frustration: "Forget it! Beijing is too far away. I can't stand the toss of this old bone, so you can just invite me to drink some wine. ”

Lao Qin nodded, then raised his hand, looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "It's 9 o'clock in the evening, you must hurry." Try to get rid of the corpse by 11 p.m., or it will be much worse than you after 11 p.m. You must be safe, I am here waiting for your triumphant return. ”

Lao Liu picked up his shotgun and looked at the master: "The corpse was dug up next to the school in the south of the village, let's go there directly to find it, right?" Master nodded, "Okay! It's much more convenient to know where it appears. Let's go there! After saying that, he patted me on the shoulder and turned his head and walked out, and I quickly turned around and followed. Lao Liu commanded the soldiers with flamethrowers on their backs to follow in our footsteps.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, but due to the appearance of corpses, the village that should be lively becomes dead. The houses in the village are particularly eerie in the darkness of the night.

Although I have traveled with Master from north to south, I have seen a lot of environments. But in this eerie and terrifying environment in front of me, I still feel a little creepy.

Master seemed to notice my abnormality and handed a betel nut from his pocket: "Are you afraid?" Come, chew a piece of betel nut to strengthen your courage. I took the betel nut and stuffed it into my mouth: "Master, don't worry, I'm not afraid, I'm just a little worried." Master stopped and smiled: "Isn't there still Master here!" What are you afraid of? If we don't get rid of this corpse this time, more people will suffer. ”

After the master finished speaking, he took out a handful of betel nuts and handed them to Lao Liu and the soldiers behind him: "Are you afraid?" Do you want to eat a piece of betel nut to strengthen your guts? Lao Liu's mouth moved a few times, and then spit out a white bubble. The master asked curiously, "Does it work for you to eat chewing gum?" ”

Lao Liu smiled: "It's good for us to eat chewing gum, you southerners like to eat betel nut, but the strength of betel nut is too great, and we northerners are not used to eating it." Master smiled and stuffed the betel nut back into his pocket. Although he is sixty-five years old, like us young people, he especially likes to eat betel nut. In addition to eating, I usually chew a piece of betel nut in my mouth.

As we walked on, a roar came to my ears, and I hurriedly listened carefully to see where it came from.

The master pointed to an abandoned ancestral hall not far in front and said to Lao Liu: "That thing should be in there now, my apprentice and I will go in first, you will fence it outside first, and you must wait for my notice before using the flamethrower." Lao Liu nodded, and then gestured to the soldiers with flamethrowers behind him, and those soldiers quickly and methodically occupied the vantage point near the ancestral hall.

Master handed me a bronze dagger, and drew an ancient sword himself. Through the faint moonlight, you can clearly see that there are three seals on the sword. Master usually asked me to read a lot of ancient books recorded in the small seal, so I immediately recognized the word "Chili" on the long sword in Master's hand.

I heard the master say that this Chili Sword is the sword of Xu Fu, the first ancestor of the Shan Shan Sect. But the ancestor Xu Fu was gone from the mirage to the east and never returned, how did this sword get by the master?

Master took out a talisman in his left hand and folded it into a small triangle and handed it to me: "It can reduce the yang energy on our body, you quickly swallow it, and you must cheer up when you are inside." The corpse is not a zombie, and it can easily spot us, but with this charm, it is not so easy to find us. Because it already has spiritual sense. To be precise, it's a half-corpse, half-demon monster. We're going to sneak in and catch it off guard. I took the spell and swallowed it, and suddenly I felt the air around me get a lot colder, it felt like I was in the snow and ice.

Due to the time and the wind and sun, the two large wooden doors of the ancestral hall have rotted and are covered with cobwebs and dust. Master gently pushed the door open and quietly walked in, and I tiptoed behind.

The floor inside the ancestral hall was covered with dust and broken tables, chairs and benches, and we walked through the first floor and found nothing. Master stretched out his hand and pointed to the second floor, and I immediately understood. What Master meant was that if you didn't see the first floor, you would go to the second floor and have a look.

Although the ancestral hall is dark, the people of our mountain sect all have a pair of night eyes that can see clearly in the dark. Besides, we were afraid of alarming the corpses, so we didn't dare to use flashlights and torches. After seeing Master's gesture, I walked in front with the dagger in my back, and Master quietly followed behind with a long sword. This ancestral hall is a centuries-old house that has been abandoned for decades, and the wooden planks of the ancestral hall staircase are crumbling under our trampling, as if they will break at any moment.

As soon as I went up to the second floor, I found that there was a light in a room. And the sound of gnawing bones was mixed with a familiar smell of blood. I cautiously walked towards the lighted room, and gently peered through the crack in the door.

There was an oil lamp on the table in the room, but to my surprise the light from the oil lamp was green. Next to the oil lamp stood a tall figure in armor, munching on something. The sound of clicking came from inside. I know this is the Ming Dynasty corpse we're looking for. So I was going to turn my head and tell the master, but I didn't expect to turn my head too much, and it hit the door panel next to me directly.

The corpse in the room had already turned around at this time, and then I saw that the corpse was holding a human leg in his hand and gnawing, and the corpse's withered and hideous face was covered with blood.

When the corpse heard the sound of me hitting the door, he put down the half-gnawed human leg in his hand, stretched out his claws to tear the door, and pounced on me outside the door. It was about to pounce on me, and my mind went blank.

Suddenly, there was a muffled "poof", and the corpse was kicked away by the master behind me. Master helped me up and asked, "Are you alright?" I shook my head: "I'm fine, thanks to the timely arrival of Master." When the master saw that I was fine, he asked me to retreat one after another, and he rushed forward with his long sword.
