Chapter Twenty-Six: The Dead Are Buried and Practiced to Become Demons

"Dao Chief, why don't we sit down and talk, have a sip of tea, and then enter the city together. ”

Seeing that Zhang Xian was interested, the middle-aged man was also very enthusiastic, doing business, and knew how to make friends, so he said hello, and hurriedly brought a small Mazha next to him, and poured a cup of tea.

"Hehe, thank you. Zhang Xian was not polite, took the tea, and sat down to rest.

The middle-aged man said: "This matter, we have to start with Liu Yuanwai's family, that Liu Yuanwai is the second leader of our county horse gang, who started a family with a black heart, and also donated an official of a foreign man, married a wife and three concubines, and has an eldest son. ”

"This eldest son is a well-known bully in the county, bullying men and women, taking the black road, the year before last, he was out to trade, and was stabbed by friends in the rivers and lakes, and he died with a whimper. ”

"The Liu family is very convinced, the corpse was sent back by a Taoist, it is said that the Taoist is very powerful, and he also helped the Liu family change the ancestral tomb, and made a Yin Bridge, with **, saying that it can bless the Liu family in the underworld, and the wealth is rolling and auspicious. ”

"But this is a man, God is watching, the Liu family is hurtful to the heavens and reason, there is absolutely no good end, this is not retribution, there are monsters in the ancestral grave, the eldest son has become a zombie, biting his own family, this is to never turn over." ”

"Oh, that's right. Zhang Xian heard the mystery and invited the Taoist to send the corpse for burial, which must have been done with his hands and feet.

But this was a year ago, and the corpse has been buried for a year, so it is necessary to bury the corpse in the grave? This is somewhat similar to the art of the living dead, but the living dead are buried by the living, and the corpse is buried by the dead.

No wonder after Danyangzi killed someone, he didn't take the body away, but went to the door, pretending to be over-funeral, but in fact, he was secretly making arrangements, using the villagers to help bury him, and after he practiced well, he came to take it away.

"I wonder how many people that zombie bit to death?" Zhang Xian asked.

"I don't know, I heard that there are several, and one of them is Liu Yuanwai's third son. The middle-aged man said, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Dao Chief, I heard that if you are bitten by a zombie, you will also become a zombie, is this true or false?"

"Hehe, of course this is fake. ”

Zhang Xian smiled, he had also heard this rumor, and it was also written in the book, but after thinking about it carefully, he knew that it was fake, corpse training belonged to corpse art, if it was so easy to become a zombie, there would be no need to spend a lot of time on corpse training.

Zhang Xian continued to ask: "What happened to the zombie bite?"

"I don't know, I heard that it will be a retreat, and I don't know where to go, the county government invited the county magistrate, tonight the altar is opened, many people come to join in the fun, we are also rushing back to the city, this is not to meet the Taoist you, I thought you were the county magistrate invited by the chief. ”

"Hehe, the ...... of the Escape Technique" Zhang Xian smiled, how can a mere monster escape from the ground, this rumor is not reliable.

If it is described in the Taoist book, this retreat technique is the superior Taoist technique of the authentic immortal family, and it belongs to the five elements of the thirty-six Xuantong, and it is the spell of the Geshan faction.

"By the way, I haven't consulted the donor yet, what do you call it? I look at your face, the seal hall is full, there is a trace of murder in the masculinity, and there is a trace of official authority, you have been a soldier before, and you are a military commander or even a chief. ”

After inquiring about the situation, he began to get closer, using a physiognomy tone, intentionally or unintentionally showing his skills, and acting more conveniently.

"Yo, Dao Chief, you will still meet people, yes, yes, I used to be a soldier, my martial arts are quite tough, I became a chief, and I can be regarded as a petty official, the world has been peaceful these years, and I will be discharged from the army when I am old, and we will not have other skills, so I will pull up this gang team with a few fellow villagers and do some small business"

The middle-aged man was surprised, this young Taoist is really Taoist, he can pinch and calculate, and he can be accurate at a glance, and said: "We are rough people, and we don't have any titles, everyone calls me Chen San, Daoist, you can see, what is my fate, is there any calamity?"

As soon as they heard this, everyone next to them also became interested, and they all wanted to see how this Taoist chief told fortunes.

"Hehe!" Zhang Xian smiled, pretending to be unfathomable, what he wanted was this effect, but there were too many people, if he showed them all, he was afraid that he would be delayed here today, and this Jianghu warlock, pay attention to a sleek, moderate stop, he said: "Heaven must not be missed, your fate is in your own, I can't say anything, otherwise my spell will not work." ”

"This ......" Everyone was a little disappointed, but they were even more in awe of Zhang Xian, this young Taoist is really a Taoist, and he speaks so mysteriously.

Zhang Xian began to inquire about the matter, and said: "Master Chen, I don't know that there is a tailor shop in this county, my clothes are worn, and I want to change into a new one." ”

"Yes, my daughter-in-law is a tailor. Chen San said, patted his chest, and looked proud: "The Taoist chief has to make clothes, and when he arrives in the city, he will go to my house, my daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is well-known." ”

"Thank you very much. Zhang Xian saluted and thanked him, and then asked: "Is there a rich village in the county seat?" I have no broken silver on me, only silver tickets, and I want to exchange some small money. ”

Hearing this, Chen San hurriedly said: "The Taoist is polite, how can we make the Taoist chief's money, so we should donate the incense money to the Taoist chief, accumulate more yin virtue, and bless the peace of this business." ”

"Hehe!" Zhang Xian smiled, he didn't expect this to be such a charlatan, he didn't want money wherever he went, but he also had his own principles, and said: "Thank you Chen Shizhu for your kindness, but the cultivators of my generation have no merit and no luck, and they can't owe cause and effect, so they still have to give the money they should give." ”

"How good is that. Chen San was a little embarrassed, but the Dao Leader said so, and he didn't say much.

At this time, chatting and drinking water, everyone was almost rested, Chen San shouted, everyone picked up the burden, continued on the road, and went to the direction of the county seat.

When I arrived at the county seat, it was still very early, and there was a notice of the disappearance of Wenguo Gong Zhang Xian posted on the city gate, and a large group of people watched at the city gate, and the atmosphere was lively, and even the door was blocked.

Chen San and the others also hurriedly gathered around to join in the fun, and by the way, they stopped to take a break and drink water, and asked in a loud voice: "This is a brother, what is written on this, why are there so many people?"

One person replied: "Wen Guogong is missing, just the fool Guogong in the county next door." ”

Someone next to him then asked: "It's that foolish prince, I heard yesterday that I was going to marry the prince's daughter, why did I disappear?"

"Who knows, it's a pity that the first beauty of our Universiade Dynasty is about to become a widow......"

"It is said that the life of this stupid prince is really expensive, reward a thousand catties, and seal the marquis of ten thousand households......"

"Yes, yes, reward thousands of catties, seal the marquis of ten thousand households......"

Everyone talked for a while, gossiping, Tan County is located in a remote area, the road is rugged, this notice only arrived this morning, Liu Yuan's foreign house is still hot about zombies, this is a lively thing again.

However, the crowd of onlookers was almost illiterate, and at this time a show talent came and read it to everyone: "Wen Guogong, Zhang Xian, the word Xiaoyao, seventeen years old, disappeared on March 17, 21st year in Yunyang, hereby announced...... If there is a person who finds it, he will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and he will be sealed as a marquis of ten thousand households. ”

Some people who are still unclear about the situation are also lively when they hear that the reward is sealed by thousands of households, and this reward is amazing.

"Everyone remembers this portrait, reward a thousand gold, and seal ten thousand households!"

Chen San shouted, everyone was hot, look at the portrait carefully, they ran around the business, they can also meet a lot of people, if they really meet, this is the ancestral tomb of the green smoke.

"Hehe......" Zhang Xian squeezed into the crowd, but couldn't help but laugh.

The portrait next to this notice, wearing a hosta, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but his eyes are dull and expressionless, compared with his current image, he is sloppy and shabby, with a disheveled head, but his eyes are full of energy, smiling, and they are completely two people, so that even Chen San is unaware.

It was lively for a while, and everyone talked about the fact that the members of the foreign house opened the altar to collect zombies tonight, and I heard that the Taoist chief invited was the Yuguan Lord of the Tianjing Temple in Yunan County, which was the most famous living immortal in the county.

Zhang Xian listened carefully to everyone's conversation with the four-character formula of touching and scaring the rivers and lakes, but he was thinking deeply in his heart.

The Tianjing Temple of Yunan County is equivalent to the Xishan Temple of Wenxian County, which is the most prestigious Taoist temple in the county, and he knows that the surname of the Tianjing Temple is Yu, and like Qiu Daochang, he is also from the Geshan faction and has the imperial court.

He used to have too superficial cognition of the imperial court, but now he understands that the Taoist temples in various states and counties are all subject to the imperial court, which is the imperial court's control over the immortals in the world, just like a big net, once something strange happens, it will be reported immediately, and it can't escape the control of the imperial court.

"You must keep a low profile, otherwise you will be easily targeted by the imperial court. He was vigilant.

Everyone chatted for a while, it was not early, Chen San and the others also rested, shouted that everyone picked up the burden and went straight to Chen San's house.

Everyone settled down tonight, all of them were working on the floor at Chen San's house, Ming'er sold the goods to the horse gang who received the goods in the county town, everyone divided the money and went home, rested for a day or two, helped the family do some farm work, and then continued to carry the burden to the countryside.

Zhang Xian followed him to Chen San's house, Chen San's family is quite wealthy, the family is also full of children and grandchildren, the old father and mother are still alive, the daughter-in-law is a very virtuous middle-aged woman, there are two sons under the knees, both of whom are on errands under the county lieutenant, and the daughter-in-law is at home with the children, and then works as a female tailor together.

Seeing that the team in charge of the house came back, the family was very enthusiastic, busy cooking and estimating wine, and heard that there was a Taoist chief to make clothes, Chen San's daughter-in-law hurriedly measured the size of Zhang Xian, he made two sets of clothes, and also made a cloth bag, according to his requirements, the clothes and cloth bags are embroidered with a Taiji diagram, so that it is more like a Taoist robe, and it is ordered to pick it up tomorrow afternoon.

He asked for directions, went to the money bank, exchanged a hundred silver tickets for nine ten taels, and another ten taels of broken silver, it was already evening, he found an inn, ready to stay first, eat a big meal, and then go to join in the fun, and watch Liu Yuanwai's house open the altar to collect zombies.

"Shop, is there a vacant room, bring me a vacant room, three roast chickens, and a jar of wine. ”

He shouted when he entered the door, opened his voice, and glanced at the inn, which was the time to finish eating, and the business was just right.

The shopkeeper in front of the desk heard that there was another guest, and hurriedly greeted warmly: "Guest officer, please ......" But before he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Xian's sloppy appearance, his face fell, and he said impatiently: "Go, go, go to the side of the meal, don't get in the way of the master's business." ”

"!" Zhang Xian was not happy, this Nima dog looked down on people.
