Chapter Seventy-Three: Dying

"Let's go? Where are you going? Tengu said as he looked at me blankly. I sighed and replied, "Of course, go back in the direction you came from, and look at the corpse that has been transformed." ”

"But what's so nice about the corpse? My master couldn't even subdue him. Tengu said with trepidation: "I managed to escape, and my master told me not to go back." "I looked at Tengu and knew that this was a very obedient child, and whatever Master said was what he said.

After thinking about it, I decided to make it clear to him: "First, I want to go back because I have some classmates who are walking back, and I want to determine the location of the zombie so that it is safer, and second, we must go back to see your master, in case he is not dead." ”

Tengu looked at me and nodded, "Then let's go, I'll show you the way." With that, I set off and walked into the mountain, following the tengu with my sword and a few charms in my pocket.

Because I only have one flashlight at night, I wanted to let the tengu lead the way in front of me, but I didn't expect this kid to tell me that he didn't need it, he said that he had followed his master in the mountains since he was a child, and he was very familiar with mountain roads, so he didn't need lighting at all. And he led the way in front of him and walked like a fly, the more I looked at it, the more frightened I became, what kind of person is this, he doesn't look tall, his physical strength is really quite good, and he has been tired like his grandson after walking for more than half an hour.

"Stop! Tengu! How far is it? I asked, panting, crouching on the ground. Let's rest...... I'll go again, I really can't walk. Tengu looked back at me, "It's only half there, your physical strength is too poor, are you, and you're tired after walking for a while?" ”

Lao Tzu was actually despised? I'll go, you look down on me too much! "Tengu, you have good physical strength, aren't you? If you have good physical strength, you can go to the big tree! What kind of running with me! "I just wanted to save face for the tengu, so I said a few words. Unexpectedly, Tengu looked at me and said seriously, "I haven't carried a big tree, but when we were chasing the corpse, I encountered a wild boar, and I could catch it alone and carry it out of the mountain." "I'm grass! Are you kidding me? A wild boar is estimated to meet three or two wolves, and the wolves have to walk around! Can you catch it alive with your bare hands?! Is this Nima human?

However, I didn't look like the tengu was joking on me, so I stood up and said, "Let's go!" After saying that, we continued to set off, and after walking for about half an hour, we finally saw the inn that Tengu had mentioned. As soon as I got close to the inn, I smelled a strong smell of blood.

There was still a person lying in front of the door of the corpse chaser inn, and from a distance, it seemed that he was also dressed as a corpse chaser.

"Master!" Tengu shouted and rushed over,! What are you doing here? Big brother's surroundings, you don't even look at it, you rush straight up?! What if that zombie doesn't go? I quickly stretched out my arm to grab the tengu, but I didn't expect it to be taken directly by the tengu! How can I rely on this guy so much strength!

When I got up from the ground, the tengu had already run in front of his master, and I hurried over, and the man in the tengu's arms seemed to still have a breath of air, this man was about sixty years old, and he was also wearing a cloth robe, and his body was covered in blood, and there was a broken bell on the ground.

Tengu was holding his master's corpse and crying, while the old man in his arms was still talking in a broken manner. When I got closer, I realized that the old man's mouth had been talking about not letting the tengu come back, why did the tengu come back, why didn't he listen to the master. And the tengu hugged the old man and cried without saying a word.

I had just approached the tengu, and the old man in his arms saw me and laboriously touched the stone next to me with his hand, and forcibly said, "Who are you?" "I looked at the old man and knew that he was afraid that I was a bad person and took the opportunity to hurt the tengu, and my nose was sour when I saw this scene.

I took two steps back and respectfully made a gesture: "Boy Li Hao, a descendant of the Li family in Shandong, a native of the Shangqing Sect, has seen a predecessor." "Whether it's the old man asking his apprentice to run away and stay behind to deal with the zombies, or just now complaining that Tengu ran back and picked up a rock to protect his apprentice when a stranger approached, this old gentleman deserves my salute to him.

After listening to my words, the old man's eyes actually emitted a glimmer of light! My whole face was flushed, and I knew it was supposed to be a return to the light. It seems that the old man is going to explain the future.

Sure enough, the old man laboriously wiped his tears from the tengu: "Dog, Master is dying." Tengu pouted and shook his head, and kept saying, "No, the master won't be impossible!" I don't want Master to die! The dog must be obedient in the future, listen to the master for everything, don't die, don't die! ”

The old man touched the tengu's face, smiled kindly, and then said gently, "Dog, do you listen to Master's words?" Tengu nodded vigorously: "I'll listen!" The old man smiled, then looked at me and said, "Li Hao, is it?" I didn't know what the old man was going to tell me, so I nodded, "Yes." ”

"I'm running out of time, and I want to ask you something." Blood slowly spilled from the old man's mouth as he spoke. "You say! As long as I can do it, I will not refuse. ”

The old man's eyes looked at me and said, "Your Li family ancestor is related to my family's ancestor, as for what the reason is, I don't have time to tell you, I can tell you, Zombie Kui!" After the old man finished speaking, my pupils shrank sharply, and at the same time, several images quickly flashed in my head! I'm not a fool, my brain spins fast.

I hurriedly spoke up, "You mean that the two corpse chasers that my ancestors once met who made this thing are your ancestors?!" The old man nodded: "Yes! It's a pity that I don't have time to tell you too much now, I'm dead when I'm dead, but I can't rest assured about one thing, and that's the tengu. Saying that, the old man squeezed Tengu's hand tightly: "Tiangu will follow this little brother Li Hao in the future?" Even if he is your uncle, you will listen to him in everything in the future. ”

Tengu nodded: "I listen to Master." After the old man finished speaking, he turned his head with difficulty: "Li Hao, I know your ancestors, and I know that the Li family is all orthodox metaphysical people, and they are righteous, so I think Tengu entrusts you, this child has no father or mother since he was a child, I picked it up from the mountains, but he is born with divine power, and his strength is very great, this child has always grown up with me in the mountains, I have never seen the market and never been out of the mountains, he is too simple, I am afraid that he will suffer after I die, so can you help me take care of him?"

This kid has no other shortcomings except that he eats a lot, so please help the old man and me. Saying that the old man was about to get up from Tengu's arms, I hurriedly hugged the old man and said: "Old man, although I don't know why you believe me, but I, Li Hao, swear here, as long as I have a bite to eat, I will not be hungry Tengu, as long as Tengu does not do anything hurtful, I, Li Hao, will not let Tengu be bullied." If there is half a lie, the sky thunders! Don't worry, I'll just say yes. ”

Saying that, I really made an oath to heaven, and the vows made by cultivators are not just casual jokes, and if we break the oath, it will really be fulfilled. It is said that it is thunder and thunder in the sky, and it is definitely five thunderstorms, and there will be no scum left.

The old man nodded after seeing me swear: "Tengu must listen to Li Hao!" Certain! With that, he closed his eyes. Tengu hugged the old man's corpse and cried, and I couldn't bear to see it, so I hid aside and surveyed the zombies by the way.

Soon I found an arm not far from the front of the inn, it should be on the zombie, because it has the unique rune of the corpse chaser, it should have been cut off by the old man, it seems that the zombie was injured and hiding, which at least gave me a breath of relief.

I walked up to the tengu who was still in pain and patted him on the shoulder: "Mourn and change, I know this feeling, I don't know how to persuade you, but I don't think your master should think of you like this." Now pack up your Master's body, and let's go. ”

Hearing this, Tengu wiped his tears: "Uncle Shi, can you help me burn Master?" Master used to tell me that I should burn him after he died, leaving only the ashes. I want to hear from my teacher. ”

Listening to Tengu's words, I was silent, the old man drove the corpse all his life, but he wanted to be cremated after his death, which always felt a little irony in it, it seems that the old man is the one who really looks open.

I nodded, took out a "Jiaxu Zhendi Borrowing Fire Talisman" from my pocket and threw it on the old man's corpse, the fire of the charm was very high because of the blessing of spiritual power, and it was not a fire in the yang world, so it quickly burned the old man's body. Tengu silently finished his master's ashes in a box, then wrapped them in a cloth and carried them behind him. I looked at the tengu with his head down: "Let's go, you can follow me in the future." ”

Tengu nodded and followed me out of the inn, I didn't say anything to Tengu all the way, we finally walked to the bottom of the mountain when it was almost dawn, I also saw the crowd of our class, everyone was talking to each other, I took Tengu over: "Squad leader, are all people coming out?" ”

The squad leader looked at me and said eagerly: "Li Hao, you are back, we walked out together just now, Cen Si and the three girls walked at the end, and then ......" The squad leader couldn't say clearly. When I heard this, I was in a hurry! grabbed the squad leader's collar and shouted, "And then what! Say it! "The four of them are missing!"

Missing! it! How could it be missing! "You fucking bastards! I even let a few girls go behind! Don't want to have a face! "I almost lost my mind after hearing that Cen Si was missing! You know, there's a zombie in this mountain who just killed a corpse catcher! Cen Si and the four girls in case they were touched by it! The consequences!

"Li Hao, you are sick, how do we know that they are walking behind! What a scolding person! A person's voice sounded next to him, I don't bother to deal with them at all now, Cen Si is missing, I don't care who said it, I turned around and said directly to the tengu: "Are you going back with me to find someone, or stay here?" "I'll follow you!" Tengu said without a hint of hesitation.

"Okay, let's go back!" I turned around with the tengu and resolutely returned to the mountain.

Cen Si must wait for me!
