"Master, you are polite. When the village chief Ye Wang came out of the house, he saluted a few people standing at the door, and then walked to Lai Laodao's side and gave another salute, and asked respectfully, "Master, are you passing by or ...... in our village?"

The village chief's words Lai Laodao naturally understood that if it was a passer-by, it would definitely not be like them. He immediately replied, "There is a great zombie around Wushan, and many mountain villages are deserted, so we are here to see the situation in your village." ”

"Deserted?Master, are you saying that all the people in the villages around our Zhu'er Village are gone?"

"Some people must have left, but most of them are probably dead. Lai Laodao glanced inside the house and whispered, "Village Chief, do you know how the villager in the house died?" ”

"Dahe was bitten to death by a wild beast when he got up at night last night to go to the toilet. ”

"No, he was bitten by a zombie, you should have seen the tooth hole in his neck. Has anything similar happened in your village before this incident?"

"Zombies, Father, how can there be zombies in our village? This has never happened in our village before. Ye Wang's face showed panic, he looked at the corpse in the room and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Believe it or not, things have happened, if I don't expect it to be bad, there will be more deaths in your village tonight, maybe more than one or two. Lai Laodao's face was as usual, he looked at the seven apprentices not far away, and said, "If you can trust Lao Dao, arrange a place for us first, and I will talk to you in detail." ”

"Okay~ Master, you come with me. The village chief hesitated for a moment, and led the eight old Taoist priests out of the courtyard gate and walked out of the village.

After the eight people followed Yewang back to the house, Lai Laodao took out the map in the Qiankun bag and spread it on the table, and said, "You see, we have been here this morning, and there is no one here, and now we are in this place, and there is this village in the outskirts of Wushan, we have not been there, I don't know if there are still living people there." ”

"Is there no one?, and what about the village that leaned into the inside of Osan Mountain?" the village chief looked at the map on the table, his face full of panic.

"There should be no living people in the villages inside, and these four villages outside you are the places we are going to check today. Lai Changsheng replied, bowed his head and pondered in the room.

"Lao Lai, what do you say we should do now?" Mao Yuanshan saw that Lai Changsheng was silent for a while, and asked in a low voice.

"It's already noon, and I don't know if there are people in the next village, and since there are living people in this village, we have to act separately now. Glancing at the people in the room, Lai Changsheng thought for a while and said, "Master Changhui, you should be able to arrive before dark in the county seat now, and let them arrange a group of people to come here tomorrow." As for Chang Deng, Chang Ming, Chang Jing and Chang De, the four mages stayed in this Zhu'er Village first. Lao Mao and I and the scoundrels will go to the last outer village to investigate, and if there is no one there, we will try to rush back at night to guard the village with you. ”

"Amitabha! Chang Deng nodded in default.

"Daoist Lai Daochang, since this is the case, the poor monk will go back to Heishui County first, and you can take the dry food in this bag. Chang Hui handed the burden of dry food on his back to Li Ge.

"Okay~ It's too late, then you will go back to the county town to inform the mage first. Lai Changsheng nodded, glanced at the map on the table again, and said to the village chief when he put it away, "The deceased in your village was bitten by zombies, and his body must be burned during the day today, otherwise he will definitely be transformed at night." ”

"Okay Master, I'll do it now. Hearing this, the panicked village chief nodded again and again.

"Alright, Master Chang Deng, you stay in the village first, and we'll go first. Lai Laodao held a meeting, and immediately walked out of the house with Mao Yuanshan and Li Ge to the outside of the village.

After climbing several high mountains, the three of them walked for more than an hour before they saw the last outlying mountain village by a large river. The village is built along the river and surrounded by mountains on three sides.

"Lai, I'm afraid there are no living people in this village. When he came to the head of the village, Mao Yuanshan looked at the silent village and sighed.

Let's go into the village and have a look. Lai Changsheng shouted in a heavy tone and walked towards the village.

"Is there anyone? Is there anyone else?" There were more than forty families in the village, their houses were near the river, and there was a very wide road in front of the houses.

"Don't shout Ge'er, let's go back to Zhu'er Village. Seeing this lifeless deserted village, Lai Laodao and the three of them all looked solemn.

Just as the three of them were returning the same way and walking to the middle of the village, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky, and then a spring rain fell like the cry of a newborn baby.

"Master, senior from the distant mountains, let's go into the house and hide. Li Ge hugged the bag in front of him, and the three of them ran into a house in the village with an open door.

It is a very ordinary wooden building on stilts, and behind the main door is a hall, and there is a room on the left and right sides of the hall. After the three of them entered the room, they sat at the table in the hall, Li Ge took out a bag of dry food, took out two steamed buns and handed them to the two old men.

"The weather on this dog day, when it says it rains, it rains. After complaining, Lai Laodao took the steamed bun and took a bite of it.

"This is troublesome Lao Lai, now it should be Shen Shi, once this rain comes, I am afraid that the sun will not come out today, and those zombies lurking in the mountains may have to come out. Mao Laodao frowned and looked at the rain curtain outside the house.

"Yes~ It's really a big trouble now, if it's ten or eight zombies, I'm not afraid of you, but if it's dozens or hundreds, then we ......" Lai Laodao's face changed, and he hurriedly put down the steamed bun in his hand, got up and closed the door.

"Yuanshan senior, are you saying that those zombies may appear at any time now?" Li Ge saw his master's movements, and his heart became heavy.

"yes, so from now on, we have to be ready to do it at any time. Mao Yuanshan replied, and then held the peachwood sword behind his back in his hand.

"Yuanshan senior, when you were in Meridian Town, you once tied a closed yang knot to me, and the master said that the knot can lock the yang energy on people's bodies, so that ghosts or zombies with low cultivation can't detect it. Thinking of what happened in Meridian Town before, Li Ge asked.

"You little rabbit cub knows how to use a hammer, Lao Mao's closed yang knot is not used casually, locking yang is a very damaging thing to the body, usually only allowed to be used once in thirty-six hours, and this time the time is about an hour. Lai Laodao explained, and then said, "This knot will be tied when I go back to Zhu'er Village after the rain stops, and I have an ominous premonition in my heart, worried that something will happen over there tonight." ”

"Oh~" Li Ge nodded, walked into the room on the left, and stood in front of the window to look out. Then the two old men also walked to the room with benches in the hall.

The rain outside the house was falling, and time was quietly flowing with the raindrops, and the faces of the three people in the house were all worried. Just as it was getting dark, the rain outside the house was quieter, and a few barking dogs came from the village entrance to the east.
