Next Chapter

"Knock knock...... "There was a rush knock in front of a dilapidated Taoist temple on the top of Taiwang Mountain in Xujiagou, accompanied by a tired, eager and somewhat frightened shout: "Dao Chief, here Dao Chief, something is wrong...... Help me, ......."

The sound quickly passed through the door to a side hall in the north, and Xu Rui, who was sleeping sweetly inside, frowned, obviously awakened.

This fat man, who is often called Fat Brother, slowly sat up from the bed, cursed in a low voice, suddenly realized something, and looked up at the window. Through the hole in the window, he saw that the black light in the opposite side hall was blind without the slightest movement, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that I didn't alarm the master, otherwise...... I'd better hurry up and shut up this blind guy!" thought to himself, the fat brother grabbed a wide robe from the bedside and put it on his body, then pushed the door and walked out.

With a "crunch", the fat brother opened the dilapidated wooden door and saw a middle-aged man, who was half-arched at this time, holding the door buckle with one hand and gasping with his knee with the other. When the fat brother looked over, the man also looked at him.

When the middle-aged man saw the door open, he was overjoyed, but when he looked up, he saw a burly fat man standing in front of him, slightly stunned, and subconsciously said: "Didn't you say that Guanli is a respected old Taoist?"

"Oh, you're talking about my master! By the way, speaking of my master, in the middle of the night, you keep quiet, he is old, and it disturbs him to rest, and neither of us will have good fruit to eat!" said the fat brother and stepped out of the door and closed the door casually.

Hearing Brother Fat's words, the middle-aged man hurriedly covered his mouth and didn't dare to speak loudly anymore. But suddenly I thought that I was here to find the old Taoist, how could it be without disturbing, so I said: "But I have something urgent to find his old man!"

"Is it in a hurry?" the fat brother said embarrassedly, "In this way, you tell me first, if it's not a big deal, don't disturb his old man!"

"Well, here's how it goes......"

"Here, please, let's sit down and talk slowly!" the fat brother interrupted him and motioned for the other party to sit on the stone bench on the edge of the cliff to the east.

"Tell me slowly, it's really urgent!" the middle-aged man said anxiously, but he quickly followed the fat brother to the stone bench.

There are four stone benches, scattered around the stone table, next to a huge old pine tree. There was a candlestick on the table, and a thick layer of pine leaves had fallen on the table and stool, and it seemed that no one had been here for a long time.

Brother Fat arrived first, facing the dead leaves on the table, his brows furrowed slightly, and he simply waved his hand, summoning a gust of wind, rolling the leaves on the table and stool and throwing them out of the cliff, and sprinkled them out.

Then he snapped his fingers, and the candlestick on the table ignited.

The middle-aged man was following behind the fat brother to describe the urgency of the matter, when he suddenly heard a snap of his fingers, and then Zhou was lit up, he couldn't help but be surprised, rubbed his eyes, and made sure that he was not mistaken: "Didn't you see the ignition!

"Magic tricks are all prepared in advance, no one must have known in advance that I would come today, it is impossible to prepare early, so it seems that although the fat Taoist in front of him is young, it is not simple!" The middle-aged man thought so, and he was much calmer, and he was no longer so anxious.

"Uncle, please take a seat!" Brother Fat pointed to one of the stone benches and said to the middle-aged man, "By the way, what do you call it, uncle." ”

"Eh, Dao Chief, please take a seat!" The middle-aged man came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and then said: "I'm sorry, I'm so anxious, I forgot to introduce, I'm Chen He, the steward of the old lady Chen's mansion in Chenjiazhuang." After speaking, he made a gesture to the fat brother, which was regarded as a salute.

"It turned out to be Chen He's manager, disrespectful and disrespectful, and the name of the trail is Xu Rui. Brother Fei replied while also saluting Chen He, and the two of them each found a stool to sit down.

Then Brother Fat asked: "Steward Chen just said that there was an emergency, I saw that your face was anxious, I don't know what it is!"

Hearing Brother Fat ask, Chen He's calm that he had just regained became impatient again, and said: "Dao Chief, help us, my lord's corpse has changed, and I have been out for an hour or two, my lord, I'm afraid he is going to turn into a zombie!

"Eh, zombies?" the fat brother frowned slightly, if it was really a zombie, it would not be easy to deal with.

Chen He saw that the fat brother did not continue to speak, thinking that this matter was stumped for him, so he became even more anxious.

"That's right, it's a zombie, Dao Chief, you can't solve it, I'd better go directly to your master!" With that, Chen He got up from the stool and was about to go to the view.

The fat brother hurriedly pulled him down, "I said Steward Chen, how can zombies appear so easily, you are all this age, be calm and steady, come on, sit down, tell me in detail, I'll see what your situation is." ”

Brother Fat said this, as if he was the older one, and Chen He became a young man who had nothing to do. can be regarded as burying this steward miserably, so Chen He had to sit back in embarrassment, and then began to tell the whole process.

Mrs. Chen worked hard outside in his early years, caught up with the rise of all walks of life in China, and with his unique vision and hard enough, he finally broke into a career after many years.

It's just that in the past two years, Mrs. Chen has grown older, and her health has gradually not been so good, so she returned to Chenjiazhuang to prepare for her old age, and handed over the business to her two sons to deal with.

The strange thing started at noon that day, when Chen He lit the fine sandalwood of the Chen family's filial piety to his father in the hall, and then helped the old lady Chen to the chair. Old man Chen has difficulty moving, and he has always had this habit of taking a nap to recuperate.

It's just that he didn't sleep long today, and the old lady suddenly opened her eyes, and then claimed that she was in a much better spirit, as if she had returned to the time when she was young and high-spirited, so she took Steward Chen out for a walk.

They went to the ancestral hall to see the deceased ancestors and clan relatives, and they also went to various streets and markets to see the properties on the streets, and even went to climb the mountains. With such physical strength, not to mention that he is a long-lived old man, even the average young man can't compare, which makes Chen He happy and worried all the way.

But after returning to Chen's mansion, it didn't take long for Old Lady Chen to die without warning. Chen He sighed helplessly, so he arranged for the people to prepare for the funeral, and then notified and questioned the two young masters of the Chen family, and then temporarily hung his body in the courtyard according to the usual customs.

In the middle of the night, the people who were keeping watch suddenly found that Old Lady Chen was staring, sat up straight, and screamed in fright. He shouted, "the corpse, cheat the corpse!" and ran to the backyard to call everyone up.

Then the Chen Mansion surrounded the corpse of Old Lady Chen and observed, and saw that he was just sitting in place, his eyes were rolling around, so he boldly stepped forward and tried his nose, and then walked back tremblingly, and said in horror: "No breathing!"

The crowd was in an uproar, and they didn't dare to keep vigil again, Chen He notified the eldest son of the Chen family of the matter, and got his approval, and hurriedly came to Taiwang Mountain, wanting to ask the old master to take action to appease the soul of the old lady Chen.

Chen He said as he continued to observe Brother Fat's face, trying to find a little fear on his face, after all, such an unbelievable thing made even a person like him who had been in the world for a long time feel terrifying, let alone such a young man in his twenties.

As long as the fat brother is scared, then he can justifiably invite the old Taoist leader.

Chen He thought it was good, but unfortunately, until he finished talking about the matter, he didn't see the fat brother feel a trace of fear. Even Chen He felt a little disappointed in Brother Fat?

"He's crazy, is he expecting something more terrible, or am I wrong? Chen He thought so in his heart, and finally stopped talking.

After a long time, the fat brother asked, "This is the end?"

"That's it?!" Chen He was almost stunned, and after a long time, people were really dissatisfied and disappointed.

"Steward Chen, you are in a hurry, I thought it was a great thing? Just this matter, where is the need to alarm the master and his old man, I tell you that it is good that I stopped you, if you alarm him for this little thing, you will probably lie down next to Old Lady Chen." Brother Fat not only didn't get afraid, but ridiculed Chen He for not being stable enough.

"What kind of thing is this, I have followed the old lady up and down in the business world for decades, and I have never seen any storms and waves, but now I have reached the point where I am accused by a hairy boy of not being calm enough, am I old?" Chen He sighed in his heart, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

However, he didn't forget his business, and hurriedly asked, "So Daoist Xu, you already have a strategy to deal with it?"

"It's just a corpse coming back to the body, why bother with such a fuss!" the fat brother nodded.

Xu Dao's cultivation is naturally not afraid, and we mortals can't compare. Chen He was a little surprised at first, and then said with a wry smile, but the big stone in his heart was finally put down.

"Haha, that's right, you mortals who don't know how to practice are just as timid as mice. The fat brother laughed.

Being commented on by a young man like this, Chen He was a little embarrassed, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly changed the topic and said: "I don't know what is going on with this corpse's reincarnation, Xu Daochang can easily explain a thing or two to him." ”

"This is mainly because Old Lady Chen was too free of himself after returning to the light before his death, and he consumed his own yang energy excessively, and after his body swelled and then was hollowed out, he would inhale yin qi and fill it into the corpse after death. A sufficient amount of yin qi gathered some scattered soul fragments in his body, causing some meaningless movements in the affected body. This matter is extremely simple to deal with, as long as the yin qi is vented. ”

"I see!" Chen He seemed to understand whether he understood or not, but it did not prevent him from understanding that this matter was not as terrifying as he imagined, his heart was completely relaxed, and the corners of his mouth were also smiling, and he suddenly remembered something, took out a cigarette, and handed it to the fat brother with both hands: "Does Xu Daochang smoke?"

The fat brother didn't answer, as if he was still explaining what he had just said: "But if the corpse is not handled well, it will be a matter of time before it becomes a zombie!"
