In these years of wandering, Wu Lingzi has also encountered many "of the same kind", but most of them are just low-level walking corpses who are not sane and confused, and only know about wandering around. Occasionally, I encounter some high-level zombies that are a little more intelligent and relatively "smart", such as white-haired zombies, black zombies, etc., but they are just like wild beasts, and have the consciousness of hunting or escaping.
However, once they turn on their intelligence, their attention is basically focused on how to prey on humans and get more blood. Wu Lingzi's actions to persuade them not to hunt and kill humans often responded directly with violence.
Wu Lingzi's "wisdom" is only reflected in his mouth, but he is an absolute waste of wood in fighting, and he can only hold his head and suffer in this situation. The zombie is powerful and brutal, and it is common for the body to be separated by a frenzy, but for Wu Lingzi, this is not a fatal injury, and he slowly put it together afterwards and tried to escape. Huang Chang's strange head-hugging and squatting posture was a habit developed in this way.
Occasionally, I would encounter some of the same kind who were more friendly to it, or "raised" it as a little brother or even a pet, and once even caught an unconscious living person and sent it to it to "enjoy", but Wu Lingzi refused this kindness, so he was beaten again, and then he was driven away as useless garbage.
In this way, Wu Lingzi has been wandering around the graves and cemeteries for many years, looking for the same kind of partners, and its requirements are not high, so he wants to find a place to stay, and he can communicate with some partners. For this reason, even if it is beaten, it doesn't care, those corpse demons who beat it, as long as they don't explicitly say that they drive it away, it often insists on staying.
However, those murderous zombies will sooner or later attract opponents, and most of them will be destroyed, so it will not stay anywhere for long.
Once it even wandered to an ancient battlefield somewhere, and took refuge under the command of a certain corpse demon mountain lord, the mountain lord king is the remains of the general of the previous dynasty, and after his death, he was not ignorant, and turned his corpse into a demon, not only cultivated to the level of a demon general, but also recruited many zombie brothers who became demons near this ancient battlefield.
This is also the kind of person with the clearest thinking and the most flexible mind that Wu Lingzi has ever seen, but it's a pity that people's strength is much stronger than it, and all they think about is how to further improve their strength and expand their power, and their attitude towards human beings is also to regard them as a source of food and strength, and they are naturally disdainful of Wu Lingzi's persuasion - in fact, this is the way a "normal" wild corpse demon should go, in the eyes of others, Wu Lingzi is a guy who does not seek to improve.
However, for the sake of Wu Lingzi's more flexible mind and much smarter than the average little demon, the demon general treats it well and treats it as a courtier or a favored minister. Even if it's incapacitated, it's allowed to stay in the gang for a long time. As for what you usually play with other little demons...... That's not a problem at all.
- For Wu Lingzi, it means that the head is pulled off and kicked as a ball, and then picked up and put it on afterwards. It's really so bad that it can't be used? Then find another head to replace it, it won't affect his strength at all, anyway, there is no strength at all.
Such a "good life" lasted for decades...... Maybe it's hundreds of years? It can't remember clearly, until one time the corpse general's team had a big battle with another group of monsters nearby, and the corpse general's side was defeated, and even the nest was taken away. There are capable and capable people in the team who either die in battle or surrender, but waste wood like Wu Lingzi has survived.
It's just that the new boss has high requirements, and there is no room for waste in the team, so Wu Lingzi began his wandering career again, turning and turning, and walked through many places, and I don't know when he came to the cemetery of Baonan City, and settled down here.
Wulingzi's wandering life is relatively passive, as long as a place can stay, it will not take the initiative to leave, until there are rumors of zombies in the local area, which may attract demon hunters, immortal cultivators and other dangerous factors, it has to flee. It can understand human speech, and no one will pay attention to it when it lies in a broken coffin pretending to be a dead body, so it is quite convenient to listen to the news.
Huang Chang asked how long it had been here, but Wu Lingzi couldn't say - time meant nothing to it. I only remember that it is usually very quiet here, but every certain time, many people come to the grave to burn paper - Qingming Ancestor Worship, Zhongyuan Ghost Festival and other annual festivals, and such a lively scene has been more than ten times.
Huang Chang made a rough estimate, and estimated that it had been here for four to five years, and it had not been discovered in four or five years, and it had not encountered other similar people, indicating that it was really "quiet" here. Then if you place the corpse puppet here, there should be no danger of being exposed in the short term - as long as the guy in front of you doesn't cause trouble.
The two sides communicated with each other, and Wu Lingzi didn't just introduce himself, and he also asked Huang Chang some questions during the period, but the latter couldn't speak, and after all, he had the advantage of being troublesome to mark on the ground, and he only answered the simplest ones. For example, his own name - he still uses Yao Xiu's name, and as for the origin, he is a newly formed demon and cultivates here. If there are more questions, he is too lazy to answer, anyway, his strength is far superior to that of the other party, and he is naturally in a strong position in this kind of exchange, and he doesn't want to answer the questions at all.
When the talk was over, the guy had no chin and couldn't say anything, Huang Chang looked at this nagging guy, and secretly pondered in his heart, since the other party had never killed anyone, then there was no need for him to kill the other party. Being able to be so weak in the world, but wandering in the mortal world for so many years, although he has not improved his strength, he has not been killed, which can be regarded as a kind of ability.
Huang Chang estimated that its ability to hide its tracks must be very strong, and it should not drag itself down, so he used his big sword to write on the ground, scared it a few words, and warned it not to disturb itself if it didn't want to leave here. Everyone's well water does not interfere with river water, and the two have nothing to do with each other.
That Wu Lingzi has probably long been accustomed to this attitude of being despised and disliked, and he is not surprised at all, let alone angry-he has encountered much worse treatment than this before, and now this "Taoist friend" is still willing to communicate with it calmly, which is already very good.
It immediately said that this is the best, let's be good neighbors here in the future!
Looking at the back of the other party happily leaving, Huang Chang always felt a little strange in his heart, not that he was worried about what Wu Lingzi could do with him, but he vaguely had a trace of sympathy for it.
- I will inevitably cause some trouble wherever I go, and this Wulingzi can survive until now, and the biggest reliance on this Wulingzi is that it never causes trouble, and hides when it encounters things.
Now, however, it has taken the initiative to come in...... I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
