"Isn't this an inn, how can there be no one?" Moon Shadow Fuxian looked into the house suspiciously, standing in the courtyard, he could only see the dim butter light beating in the house, and he couldn't see the situation inside.

"There are no rooms in this inn, just dozens of coffins, standing upright against the wall, and many of the coffins have a zombie in them." Wu Zhiyuan also looked inside the house, and the dim light inside looked ghostly.

"To whom are these four bodies going to be handed over?" Moon Shadow Fuxian turned to look at the four zombies behind him.

"Shigong only said that I should send these four zombies to the Xishen Inn, and he didn't tell who to hand them over, or whether anyone would answer them." Wu Zhiyuan shook his head blankly, and when he saw that the sky was getting brighter, he decided, "Let's drive the zombies into the inn first, wait a while, maybe someone will come to pick them up." ā€

This is also the only way at the moment, Moon Shadow Fuxian nodded, Wu Zhiyuan shook the copper bell to lead the way, and introduced the four zombies into the house.

Looking around the house carefully, Wu Zhiyuan found that there were about thirty coffins around the walls of the house, almost every coffin had a zombie in it, and only four coffins in the northwest corner were empty.

Wu Zhiyuan's heart moved, and he introduced the four zombies into the coffin one by one.

"Sit down and rest for a while." Wu Zhiyuan took the hand of the Moon Shadow Fuxian and walked to the door, and the two sat down on the threshold together, looking at the few stars in the night sky.

At this time, the moonlight is gone, the morning sun has not risen, and it is the darkest hour before dawn.

"This Xishen Inn should be specially prepared for Taoist priests who chase away corpses, and it is used to place zombies, not for people to stay." Wu Zhiyuan guessed, "If no one comes to answer after dawn, let's leave a note and leave." ā€

"If your master just asked you to send the corpse to the Xishen Inn, then now you haven't delivered it according to his wishes?" Moon Shadow Fuxian propped his chin in both hands and said seriously.

Wu Zhiyuan felt that it was also true when he heard this, since he was sent to the Xishen Inn, even if no one answered, he would have something to say back to the teacher on a bus trip in the future. Shigong once said that after being sent to Liuyin Village, if no one answers, the body can be directly buried at the entrance of the village, and the four zombies sent to the Xishen Inn should also be disposed of in the same way.

The night was still dark, and the light of the oil lamps in the house was projected into the courtyard, which not only failed to dispel the darkness in the courtyard, but rendered the atmosphere a little weird. Occasionally, an inexplicable night breeze blew, and the lanterns on both sides of the gate shook slightly, making a few "creaking" sounds.

At this moment, an extremely slight cough suddenly came from the room behind Wu Zhiyuan and Moon Shadow Fuxian.

The cough was so low that if you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't hear it at all, like a sound coming from the ground, ethereal and slightly hoarse.

Wu Zhiyuan and Moon Shadow Fuxian were thinking about their hearts and didn't talk to each other, so the coughing sound was heard very clearly, so they turned around and looked into the room behind them at the same time.

An oil lamp was wrapped around wire and hung from the wall, and the room was surrounded by coffins placed upright on all sides, each with a zombie in it, and there was no one in the room at all.

Wu Zhiyuan and Moon Shadow Fuxian retracted their gazes at the same time, and the two glanced at each other, seeing doubts in each other's eyes.

There was silence in the room, no more coughing, could it be that the two of them were just auditory hallucinations?

Wu Zhiyuan firmly believes that if one person has auditory hallucinations, it is very likely, but two people have auditory hallucinations at the same time, this possibility is very small.

While thinking, Wu Zhiyuan put his hand into his arms and pinched a copper coin with his two fingers.

At this moment, a voice came from behind the two of them again, this time the voice was no longer a cough, but a sigh that seemed to be nothing: "Alas......"

Wu Zhiyuan had already prepared, and when he heard the sigh, he turned around sharply, and at the same time threw the copper coin between his two fingers in the direction behind him. That direction was the direction where Wu Zhiyuan had judged the source of his sigh in an instant.

Listening to the sound of "whoosh", the copper coin shot away like an arrow from the string into a coffin behind him, and the zombie in the coffin suddenly became short, and the copper coin hit the coffin and embedded it in the bottom plate of the coffin.

Immediately afterwards, the zombie inside the coffin jumped out and landed in the center of the room.

"Don't do it!" The zombie saw Wu Zhiyuan take out a copper coin from his arms again, and hurriedly waved his hand to forgive.

Wu Zhiyuan fixed his eyes and saw what kind of zombie this was, it was clearly a big living person. I saw that the man was dressed in rags, but very clean, his face was full of wrinkles, there was a pinch of goatee on his mouth, his beard was gray, he was not more than fifty years old, and his eyes were like electricity, revealing a shrewd gaze.

"Who are you?" Wu Zhiyuan and Moon Shadow Fuxian got up and asked.

Goatee glared, and asked with some annoyance: "I should ask you this, who are you?" What are you doing here? ā€

Wu Zhiyuan looked at the goatee again, and suddenly saw that he was wearing a Zhuge Jiuliang scarf on the top of his head, which was actually dressed as a Taoist priest.

In the chaotic era, those who wear Taoist robes are not necessarily Taoist priests, and those dressed as civilians are not necessarily Taoist priests. There are not a few people who wear Taoist robes to swagger around, but many powerful Taoist disciples have changed into ordinary people's clothes, walking the rivers and lakes, catching ghosts and eliminating demons, and benefiting the world, such as Zhang Zefang.

"Senior, I think it's a misunderstanding." At this time, it was not clear the identity of the other party, Wu Zhiyuan did not dare to make a mistake, and it was Taoist etiquette to give up.

"Why did you come to this Xishen Inn?" The goatee obviously recognized the meaning of Wu Zhiyuan's salute, and his eyes were no longer as vigilant as Fang Cai, so he returned the salute.

"The younger generation drove the corpses for the master, and the master once instructed that the four zombies should be sent to the Xishen Inn." Wu Zhiyuan said, stretching out his hand and pointing at the zombies in the four coffins in the northwest corner.

The goatee's face changed, and he said with a look of anger: "The Xishen Inn only has customers, no zombies, and since you know how to drive away corpses, why are you so disrespectful to customers?" ā€

When Wu Zhiyuan heard this, he secretly screamed in his heart that he was reckless, it seems that this goatee old Taoist is the same as Shigong Gushen, and he respectfully calls the corpse to be transported as a customer, maybe this is also a code word in the door of chasing corpses, the customer is the zombie to be transported, but unfortunately he didn't understand it until now.

"What kind of sect is Daoyou?" Seeing that Wu Zhiyuan was silent in thought, Goatee asked questions.

"Oh." Wu Zhiyuan came back to his senses, and Zhengse replied, "The junior is a disciple of the Maoshan faction. ā€

"Who are you?" Goatee looked at Wu Zhiyuan in astonishment and asked.
