Chapter 29: A Brief Discussion of the Zombie Disaster in Osan Mountain
"By the way, Zhijing, Xiao Jiang sent someone to me a few years ago, saying that you went to Sichuan and Shu with a group of eight people, and you came back alone, what happened there?"
"We~ We met Mao Roar, and there were also corpses and many little zombies. Putting down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, there was a trance in the expression of Daoist Zhijing.
"Mao Roar, I have been on the right path to eliminate demons for so many years, and I only met Mao Roar once with my master in the Zigui area when I was a child. Lai Laodao also put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, got up and walked back and forth in the house, and after pondering for a while, he sat down again, and said with a serious face: "You tell me about the eight of you going to Wushan from beginning to end a year ago." ”
"Okay~" Zhijing nodded, glanced at Jiang Haotian with a sad face beside him, and spoke with sadness.
"At the beginning of October last year, the Jiang Pavilion Lord received a secret order from the imperial court, saying that a tragic incident of zombies destroying the village occurred in the Wushan area of Heishui County, Sichuan and Shu. After some deliberation, we formed a team of eight and rushed over.
Heishui County is very mountainous and very poor, and most of the residents there live in small mountain villages between mountains. When we arrived at the county seat, we learned that the actual situation was already more serious than in the secret decree.
There were nine mountain villages around Osan that were already eight completely populated, and one village farther away was still populated. When we arrived in the village, the villagers were already moving out.
After we put it all together, we went to Osan that day, and since it was daytime, we didn't find anything along the way, so we decided to set up a formation at the foot of the mountain and wait until night to check it out.
When it got dark, we divided into two groups, one group went to the mountain to investigate, and our group went to the foot of the mountain to investigate.
But not long after we separated, there was a scream from the mountain, and when we heard this sound, our group immediately turned back the same way, wanting to catch up and have a look, but when we almost arrived at the intersection of the mountain, there were several stiff dry stiffs, hairy stiffs and jumping corpses.
After we cleaned up these zombies, there were many more zombies, and there was one corpse in them. With the ability of the four of us, if we dealt with that corpse leader alone, we might still have a chance of winning, but there was still a large group of small zombies around, and we were finally forced back into the formation.
Due to the blockage of the formation, the group of zombies finally stopped outside the formation, and just as we were discussing how to get out of the predicament, a green-eyed hairy roar led several corpses to appear.
In the end, the formation was broken, and I escaped under the cover of three fellow Daoists, but they were killed. ”
At this point, Zhijing sighed and drank a glass of wine on the table.
"How stiff Shu is, I can't imagine that after the elimination of countless ancestral cultivators, there is still such a big stiffness, belch~ Pity those innocent villagers, and now they are suffering from this catastrophe. Lai Laodao let out a long sigh, and then sighed, "I won't eat, Xiao Jiang, you can arrange two rooms for our master and apprentice." ”
"Okay, Lai Lao, the room was prepared before, it's still the attic you lived in before, and Master Xiao Li lives next to you. When Jiang Haotian heard this, he hurriedly got up to send him off, but was stopped by Lai Laodao.
"No need to send it, you can eat, you can bring my apprentice after eating in a while." Lai Changsheng patted the old man on the shoulder and walked out with his hands behind his back.
"Senior Zhijing, Master Jiang Pavilion, you use it slowly, I have eaten well. Seeing that his master was gone, Li Ge also put down the dishes and chopsticks and said politely, and ran out after his master.
"Master, you wait for me. After a few quick steps outside the house, Li Ge shouted at the master who was walking away with his head down.
"Aren't you hungry? Why don't you eat more? Lai Laodao turned around and looked at his apprentice lovingly, and stopped.
On a path paved with stone bricks in the courtyard, the master and apprentice walked for a while, and came to a small two-story wooden building built next to the courtyard wall.
Old man Lai pushed the door straight open and walked into the wooden building, walked to the table by the light of the stove in the house, lit the oil lamp on the table with a fire fold, and then looked up in the room, and a look of remembrance flashed in his eyes.
"Master, are we staying here tonight?" By the light of the oil lamp, Li Ge also looked up at the wooden building. After entering the house, there is a small hall, which has all kinds of tables, chairs, coffee tables, and a stove in the middle. In addition, there are two small rooms on the first floor and a wooden staircase up to the second floor.
"Do you remember Mao Yuanshan and Qingxu?" Lai Laodao sat by the fire with an old stool and beckoned to his apprentice, "Close the door, come and sit here." ”
"Of course I do. Li Ge answered, immediately closed the door and sat down beside the master, and asked curiously, "Does this have anything to do with those two seniors?"
"I've lived here with those two old dogs for many years. Lai Laodao got up, poured two cups of tea, handed one of them to his apprentice, and said, "Do you know thaumaturgical nationalists?"
"I know, Master, didn't you tell me before, the imperial court mainly relies on four departments, six departments, five temples, the cabinet and the secret service, which is divided into Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Zhenyi Division, and the thaumaturgical country belongs to the Zhenyi Division. ”
"Yes~ Do you know then, in fact, this thaumaturgical pavilion is the headquarters of the Earthquake Division. Lai Laodao took a sip of tea with a teacup, and then said, "What you said is directly under the control of the imperial court, but the Zhenyi Division is not under the management of the imperial court." ”
"Not under the control of the imperial court?" Master, how do you say that?"
"Master Wei told you back then, the thaumaturgical warriors are all cultivators of all factions in my Huaxia, and as for the purpose of the existence of the thaumaturgical pavilion, it is to destroy some evil demons and monsters that ordinary soldiers will not be able to clean up. Lai Laodao smiled slightly, and then said, "Although the cultivator is a person outside the square and cultivates the Tao of asceticism, his wish is nothing more than a bright and clear world, and the heaven and earth are flawless. But there are too many demons and evil in this world, and we cultivators living in one place are like frogs at the bottom of a well, so we have this thaumaturgical pavilion. ”
"I probably know Master, what you mean is that the Thaumaturgical Pavilion is only helping the court deal with some strange things, and the people in it are not in the establishment of the imperial court. Understanding the reasoning, Li Ge said again, "Then what did the Jiang Pavilion Lord do just now?"
"He is a person sent by the imperial court, and he is mainly responsible for the daily life of the monks in the cabinet, as well as informing me and other monks of the strange things that have gathered here from all over the world. After Lai Laodao finished speaking, he yawned.
"And what about the senior named Zhijing just now? What kind of sect is he? What are those dry stiffs, hair stiffs, corpse leaders, and hair roars that he said? Why have you never told me?"
"Zhijing is a true sect, what you said can be collectively called zombies, as for the detailed situation, I will tell you when I wake up tomorrow. The old Taoist priest yawned and pointed to the door of a room not far away, "You can sleep there at night." ”
"I see, Master. Putting down the teacup in his hand, Li Ge answered the call and went back to his room to sleep, and after three days of traveling, he lay on the soft bed and fell into a deep sleep for a short time.
