Chapter 29: Copycat Zombies
The little monk Sizhu didn't feel Li Ming's ulterior motives at all, but just confirmed: "Are you sure that my senior sister has gone on her own?"
Li Ming nodded: "That's natural, if we ride a horse, ask all the way, your senior sister's appearance must be eye-catching." β
I thought about asking casually, but five days later, I really heard some news about Yueliang. She seemed to be in front of the two all along, but she couldn't catch up.
On this day, as usual, Li Ming and the little monk Sizhu were dining at the inn, and the little monk still insisted on eating steamed buns and drinking boiled water.
Li Ming quipped: "Little monk Sizhu, it's boring for you to eat this every day, I don't know how delicious these meats are, especially this rabbit meat, although it is not as delicious as the third year of junior high school, but it is also good." β
"Who is the third junior high?" Sizhu asked slowly, eating the steamed bun in front of him.
"She's a good friend of mine, in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Thinking of the third junior high, I was also a little worried, and I couldn't wait to go to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to see her soon.
Sizhu nodded and continued to eat his steamed buns without saying a word.
"Did I say that you monks are all so boring?" Li Ming asked helplessly, "In addition to meditating all day long, you just chant scriptures. β
Sizhu felt that Li Ming's mood was a little irritable, and explained embarrassedly: "Maybe I'm stupid, my senior brothers and uncles think I'm stupid, only my master says I'm the smartest monk." β
"Two guest officers, you see it's getting late, why don't you stay in the shop for one night and then leave?" At this time, Xiao Er suddenly stepped forward and said a little mysteriously.
Li Ming looked at the sky outside and said, "No, let's leave after eating, and we have to chase people." In the field, you will just be able to do it for one night. β
The shopkeeper persuaded, "It's not that it's small, you have to earn the money of the guest officer, I'm afraid it's not very smooth on this road recently, someone saw a female ghost on the edge of the valley ten miles ahead last night, and the female ghost fortunately didn't see him, and disappeared into the mountains and forests with a swish, and the person is still lying at home!"
"Female ghost?" Li Ming touched the iron sword wrapped in black cloth on the table, and said with a smile, "Then I just practice my hands." He didn't think that the shopkeeper was telling the truth, he just wanted to make more money.
The shopkeeper was a little annoyed, and seeing that the two of them seemed to be indifferent, he turned around and left, still muttering: "That mountain is a little weird, and no local dares to go up." β
When he left the town, the sky was still a little bright, and the little monk Sizhu was still hugging Li Ming tightly, he was still not used to riding a horse.
"Sizhu, my waist is about to be broken by you. Li Ming quipped.
Sizhu and Li Ming have been together for the past few days, and they also know his temperament, and said: "You have to ride a horse, and you are not as fast as your senior sister's footsteps!"
Li Ming was really angry and funny, and said, "You little monk, if you don't ride too fast and you're afraid, won't I be able to catch up with your senior sister?"
"Do you really know that you will meet ghosts in general?" asked Sizhu with some fear.
Li Ming said domineeringly: "I'm going to find a place to sleep on the side of the mountain tonight, little monk, are you afraid?"
Sizhu recited the Buddha's name and said, "When you meet me, you will find a way to surpass that female ghost." β
Li Ming smiled and said: "You little monk is really naΓ―ve, you must have never seen a ghost, right? Let me tell you that I have seen it, the most powerful is the time when Grandpa Shuangjue used the Dao Talisman to kill the ghost, and he surpassed a thousand souls with one finger." β
Sizhu said adoringly: "You are talking about the double peerless Taoist of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, right? I am naturally not as powerful as him, and I have never seen a ghost, and the Ten Thousand Buddha Stream is a pure land." β
"You are so simple, fortunately you met me, your unreliable senior sister will leave you, and wait to catch up with her and settle accounts with her. Li Ming comforted, in fact, he had scolded the female thief no less than ten times in his heart.
Sizhu suddenly grabbed Li Ming's shoulder with some excitement and shouted, "Stop, I feel the breath of my senior sister." β
Li Ming looked around, this was a big valley: "Little monk, are you sure?"
Sizhu nodded, and jumped off the horse awkwardly: "I am in the same door as my senior sister, and I have been together since I was a child, and I am most familiar with her breath." β
Li Ming said with a serious expression: "The shopkeeper said that this valley has been haunted recently, isn't it your senior sister's ghost?"
Sizhu hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Although Senior Sister Yueliang is cold and unapproachable on weekdays, she is definitely not a bad person, and she will not scare innocent ordinary people." β
"Okay, let's play with you, where did your senior sister go?" Li Ming found a secret bush and tied the horse up.
Sizhu pointed to the mountain forest on the left, and there was a path that winded up, as if leading to the clouds: "Senior sister went over there, I can only feel the breath of senior sister within a radius of about a mile, it is already very light, I guess she has done it here before." β
"But it's getting dark, are you sure you want to go up the mountain now?" Li Ming said with some embarrassment, no one likes to break into an unknown mountain forest at night, and it seems to be a somewhat unusual mountain forest.
Sizhu didn't insist at this time, and said, "Listen to you, I don't know." β
At this time, four women came on the other side of the mountain road, and Li Ming hurriedly pulled Sizhu aside to hide, and made a silent gesture: "There are people." β
These four women were about the same age, all around twenty-seven or eighteen, and a woman with a blue belt stood at the foot of the mountain and complained: "The unified army is really cautious, it's just an ordinary village, you have to send me, you three senior disciples are enough." β
The woman with an evil face among the three flattered at this time: "Messenger, you don't know, in fact, there were three sisters here the day before yesterday, and only one sister died at the bottom of the mountain, so I had to ask for help." Now that the messenger is coming, he will definitely be able to subdue the stockade on this mountain. β
The envoy's eyes flickered, glared at the evil-looking woman, and scolded: "You are the person in charge of this team, how dare you lie?"
The evil-looking woman was frightened and hurriedly said, "The messenger forgives the sins." β
The envoy sighed and said, "You and I joined the round table in the same village, and when the unified army saw that it was a matter handed over by you, they asked me to deal with it, if we can't successfully subdue this small village on the mountain, do you know the consequences?"
The evil-looking woman was also obviously extremely afraid of the punishment of the round table, and hurriedly begged: "The messenger must help me." β
The messenger walked first, and said helplessly: "I will do my best to help you, and if it cannot be completed, you do not need to go back to the round table." Even if I have some relationship with the commander, I can't protect you. β
"It seems that your senior sister also went up the mountain and entered the village. Li Ming touched his chin and said, "Little monk, let's follow." β
The road up the hill was small but smooth, and the two followed the four women for about half an hour, when it was already dark, and it was almost to the top of the mountain, but the four women turned left into a forest.
The forest could see the fog inside from the outside, Li Ming followed a few steps, and said in a low voice: "Little monk, we can follow closely, this forest is full of fog, and I am afraid that I will lose it if I follow it far away." β
I walked in the forest again about time to touch the tea, and finally came to an end.
At the end, a huge tree sits across the cliff, connecting the two sides. On the other side of the giant tree, the fire flickered, and it seemed that it was a cottage.
As soon as the two of them walked past the giant tree, the sound of fighting was already heard in front of them, and several people guarding the entrance of the stockade had been subdued in an instant.
"The people of the village listened to me, the round table will do things, and the owner of the village will come quickly. The messenger shouted that the people had rushed to the village.
This is supposed to be the center of the stockade, a large open space is full of people, and in the center of it is a platform with a woman with a cloak tied to it, and a pile of dead branches underneath. On the roof of the upper left, the moon pavilion stood in a pavilion, and the sound of the flute came out, and the sound of the flute seemed to be alive around the platform.
"Senior Sister Yueliang. Sizhu exclaimed in a low voice, trying to suppress her excitement.
Li Ming felt a little strange and asked, "What is your senior sister doing?" β
"I'm not very clear. Sizhu stared at the platform with both eyes, "But the person tied on the platform must not be a person, I can feel her anger, and my senior sister has been using the sound of the flute to resolve her anger." β
"You again?" the owner of the village was a middle-aged man, five big and three thick, holding an iron rod in his hand, glaring at the four of them with hostility, "Your companions came here the day before yesterday, and our cottage is not interested in intervening in secular disputes. We're all ordinary people, and we can't help you at all. β
The envoy said impatiently: "I don't care about this, if the Round Table wants you to join, you have to join, and offer your most precious things, and in the future, you will be a branch of the Round Table, and you will be protected by my Jiangnan Round Table." After speaking, he took out a small flag from his waist, and the small flag had the word "round table" written on it, and with a wave of his hand, the flag shot like an arrow into the wooden pillar next to it.
"You ......" The owner of the village naturally knew that he was by no means the opponent of this menacing woman, he had only learned the crop trick for a few years, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
The messenger continued: "The day before yesterday, my three sisters all died when they went up the mountain, and if you don't descend, then the whole village will be buried together. β
"We didn't kill those three of your sisters, they were the zombies you were tied up. The owner of the village pointed to the woman on the platform and said. No one wants to cause trouble, the owner of the village has forgotten Yueliang's orders at the moment, he just wants to transfer the anger of the messenger to the female zombie.
"Really?" the messenger said and glanced at Yue Liang, who had been giving a, and asked with some vigilance, "Who is she?"
"She's the girl who helped us catch the zombies, and she's getting rid of the zombies' anger at the moment. When the owner of the village was talking, the dead branches under the platform suddenly changed strangely, as if countless moonlight had ignited the dead branches, and the female zombie on the platform suddenly struggled hard, she was no longer quiet, and yelled hysterically.
Li Ming was far away, and he vaguely felt that his dirty face was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Yue Liang stepped down from the air at this time, stood beside the female zombie, and said: "I will burn you with the water moon holy flame for the sins and pain of this life, don't you want to? β
"It's ridiculous, kill my three sisters, even zombies will have to be brought back to the Round Table for trial. The messenger took a few steps and threatened, "Girl, the round table will do business, and you better not interfere." β
