Chapter 4: The Zombie Monk

The head hall master of the "Seven Star Hall" "has unparalleled energy, and the iron-faced general judgment" Shen Zhongxia muttered secretly in his heart: "These two altar masters, why are they so strange today?"

He was secretly suspicious, but on the surface, he said calmly: "Two altar masters, you can listen to them one by one!"

Xuanyuan Kaishan and Tian Ling'er glanced at each other, and after getting the other party's gaze, Xuanyuan Kaishan spoke first: "Don't say anything else, let's talk about the 'cooking ghost town' near our altar, two days ago, the cemetery tomb on the outskirts of the town, overnight, suddenly the coffin was exhausted, and all the corpses disappeared, and the next day on the wall of the town entrance one hundred miles away, dozens of corpses in the coffin were found, hanging on the flagpole under the scorching sun, and the Tujia soldiers guarding the pass were all killed by the evil ghosts who sucked up the blood of their throats...... In addition, in the area of the 'Qinglong Altar' under his subordinate, there are a total of 52 towns and villages, and all the official roads and townships are full of puppets with pinholes and human blood, and there are also charms with eight characters of birth, and the facial features painted by the little wooden man are still very similar to ......"

Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Kaishan raised his head and glanced at the main hall master on the steps, and suddenly stopped talking.

Shen Zhongxia smiled faintly, "What is it still very like? It is still very similar to the master of this hall, is it not?" Wen Wan'er in her arms heard this, and couldn't help but tightly grasp her husband's solid and thick arms.

Xuanyuan Kaishan lowered his head and replied, "Yes, Hall Master." ”

Tian Ling'er, the altar master of the "White Tiger Altar" beside him, continued: "The main hall master, in addition to the abnormal situations mentioned by Xuanyuan Axe, the female disciples of our 'White Tiger Altar' are often raped by plots when they go out to the market to shop today...... Even some people under the control of Tankou complained for days, because some of the cattle they raised, as well as several peasant daughters, were also lost one after another. There are even some strange things that have never happened before...... For example, in the east of the village of 'Bombing Ghost Village' under the jurisdiction of his subordinates, Lao Zhongtou, a tofu maker who is usually honest and loyal, actually went crazy the day before yesterday, and it was not a person who raped his own daughter who had been sick in bed for many years, and also slashed and killed his loving old wife who rushed to stop him when he heard the noise......"

Shen Zhongxia's iron eyebrows sank, and he listened to Tian Ling'er continue: "Another example,' Stewed Ghost Mountain's mountainous poor teacher Mr. Fang Xiucai, four miles and eight townships, who doesn't know, that is a knowledgeable and good filial son, five days ago, somehow, the evil ghost possessed, actually lost his heart, slaughtered his old mother who had been supported for many years to take care of him, and cut it into square inch pieces, put it in the pot to cook to eat, and called the neighbors to eat together, halfway through the meal, the neighbors all said that this meat tasted delicious, and asked the host what kind of meat was entertaining everyone, and listened to Fang Xiucai talk about the human flesh of the old mother, only to know that it was inside, and wanted to vomit, but it was too late......”

When Wen Wan'er heard this tragic incident, she felt sick in her heart and almost vomited. Shen Zhongxia hurriedly cared about his pregnant wife, stroked his chest and beat his back, and his love was beyond words.

Tian Ling'er further said with a serious expression: "Chief Hall Master, these evil things that are not as good as the beasts that have lost their conscience, have never happened in our hall territory before......"

When Wen Wan'er heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore, and she was about to vomit at first, Shen Zhongxia hurriedly signaled the female disciples Jinhua and Yinsuo to come over, helped Mrs. go back to the room to rest, and comforted his wife softly: "Wan'er, you go back to the room first, don't think nonsense, everything has a husband." After taking care of the affairs of the hall, I will go and accompany you well......"

After Wen Wan'er, supported by the two female disciples, turned back to the inner room and disappeared into the corner of the corridor, Shen Zhongxia's eyebrows raised again, and asked Tian Ling'er: "Tiantan Master, Zhong Laohan and Fang Xiucai, have those two inhumane brutes been disposed of according to the rules of the hall?"

Tian Ling'er replied: "Don't worry, the hall master can rest assured, his subordinates have all been dealt with. ”

Xuanyuan, the owner of the "Qinglong Altar", said with feeling: "The master of the main hall, we" Qixingtang ", since the day the mountain was opened and the cabinet was erected, have taken it as our responsibility to maintain the justice and peace of the people in the area of "Thirty-six Holes" and "Seventy-two Villages", and there have never been any major mistakes and incidents. ”

After pondering for a long time, Shen Zhongxia asked, "Have you seen the corpses of those brothers and sisters in the 'Tiangang Altar'?"

Tian Ling'er said: "The subordinates and the Xuanyuan axe have all been checked......"

Shen Zhongxia immediately asked: "Can you see the cause of death of the Great Compassion Zen Master, the Bloody Hand, and Tang Taizong, and what kind of poison is there?"

Tian Ling'er paused, hesitated, and said, "This ......"

Seeing that Tian Ling'er was in a bit of a hurry, Shen Zhongxia said with some displeasure: "If you have something to say, it's okay to say it, when is it!"

Tian Ling'er hurriedly said: "According to what my subordinates have seen, the Great Compassion Monk does not seem to have died of poisoning......

Shen Zhongxia's iron eyebrows raised sharply, and he exclaimed: "Isn't it poisoning?!, then why did they die?"

Tian Ling'er snorted: "My subordinates have checked it...... If the Great Compassion Monk is poisoned, it must be the root of the poison, or a drop of juice, or some powder, or a puff of smoke, or a device, or a kind of skill, but the subordinates and Xuanyuan Axe, even the root of the poison, have not been searched, but anything on the body of the deceased brother is infected with poison...... Some of the people who went to carry the deceased back to the main hall accidentally touched the corpse, and all of them died of swelling and fission green all over their bodies...... If you are poisoned, how can there be no origin?"

Shen Zhongxia stared at Tian Ling'er and asked word by word: "If it weren't for poisoning, could it be that even the three Great Compassion Monks, Bloody Hands, and Tang Taizong died inexplicably at the hands of evil ghosts?"

Xuanyuan Kaishan frowned tightly, leaving a deep vertical knife deep line in the wide Yin Hall, and suddenly spoke: "According to the subordinates, the Great Compassion Monk and others are not poisoned, nor are they ghosts. ”

Shen Zhongxia raised his eyebrows, turned his head and asked, "It's not poisoning, it's not a ghost, what is it?"

Tian Ling'er immediately replied: "Gu." ”

Xuanyuan Kaishan further said: "It's a Gu for people!"

Shen Zhongxia's body was shocked, and he lost his voice: "How is this possible!!"

"Quite possibly. Tian Ling'er said: "'Gu Dao' prevails in the 'southwest', originates in 'Miao Jiang', has a long history, is mysterious and bizarre, far more profound than the 'poison art' in the land of 'Sichuan and Shu', only 'Gu' can do murder and can't find the source." ”

Xuanyuan opened the mountain and said: "'Gu' can not only kill people and be invisible, harm people unprepared, but also exorcise demons and summon evil, bewitch the gods and control the mind, and those who are advanced in the 'Gu Dao' can even make shocking ......things against the sky such as white bones and flesh and the resurrection of the dead."

Tian Ling'er said: "In the area of 'Yungui', there are many large and small gangs and sects that are familiar with 'Gu art', and there are ...... everywhere."

Xuanyuan opened the mountain and said in a low voice: "Those small gangs that are not in the climate and small sects that are not in the stream can be ignored for the time being; there are only three sects in the churches that have truly become the 'Gu Dao', and the other small witchcraft Gu methods are all subordinate to these three major sects......

Shen Zhongxia said in a deep voice: "The Lord of Xuanyuan Altar is talking ......"

Xuanyuan Kaishan shook his head vigorously and said vigorously: "It is the three major forces of 'One Ghost, One Gu, and One Witch': the 'Heavenly Ghost Sect' of the 'Ghost King' Ge Feng and the 'Heavenly Gu Gate' of the 'Heavenly Gu Niangniang' Shangguan Waist Dance, and Tang Shao's 'Heavenly Witch Sect'. ”

Shen Zhongxia said in a daze: "However...... However, they only reached an armistice with us a few years ago!"

Xuanyuan Kaishan said loudly: "Master of the main hall, please forgive your subordinates for risking their lives to suggest: in the rough opinion of my subordinates, the reason why the 'Ghost Gu Witch', the three 'southwestern' side forces of the 'Green Dragon Society', have temporarily made peace with us is not because they are really obedient to the main hall, but because of the internal struggle between the three major forces. Under the fierce competition between each other, all of them were killed and wounded, and they had to rest in order to recuperate and save their strength, however, these young dragon leaders are by no means good, let alone things in the pool, and under this year-long recuperation and recuperation, it is inevitable that they will be ready to sharpen their knives against our Tangkou and the territory......

Shen Zhongxia suddenly asked, and said: "In the past month or so, there have been so many abnormal things on our ground, such as nailing puppets, road sacrifices, and killing relatives, do the villagers have any opinions on the master of this hall and the 'Seven Star Hall'?"

Tian Ling'er hesitated and said, "This ......"

Xuanyuan opened the mountain and said: "The master of the main hall asked, and his subordinates did not dare to hide it: now the various altars and rudders of the 'Seven Star Hall', most of them are panicked like lost dogs, and the indigenous residents of each cave and village all accuse the 'Seven Star Hall' of not accumulating virtue and doing good, and committing the anger of the heavens, so that it is contrary to human ethics, and there are even some cave owners and village owners, who are connected in all directions, secretly assemble, and the call for overthrowing the head hall master is gradually getting louder......"

Shen Zhongxia raised his iron eyebrows and said: "There is no accumulation of virtue and good deeds? Who paved the bridges and roads of these four towns and eight towns with one or two gold and one penny of silver? Who committed the wrath of heaven and the wrath of God? Who are the water bandits who killed people in Cangshan and robbed the wealth of the Nujiang River? I, Shen Zhongxia, live up to the 'Miao Jiang', hehehe......

Xuanyuan Kaishan said suddenly: "However, the main hall master was defeated by the 'Heavenly Gu Niangniang' in the past......"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Zhongxia's face turned red, and he grabbed Xuanyuan Kaishan's shoulders with both hands together, and his ten fingers were even deeper into the other party's flesh.

Xuanyuan Kaishan was so painful that his facial muscles twitched, and his forehead was full of sweat, but he still said fearlessly: "The head hall master, my subordinates would rather die in battle than bear to live up to the righteous master." ”

Shen Zhongxia's left and right "temples", the green tendons jumped "suddenly", and the ten fingers of both hands were loosened one by one, and after a while, he patted Xuanyuan Kaishan's shoulder and said, "Okay, you did a good job." ”

Xuanyuan Kaishan's eyes were filled with tears, and he said: "The subordinates know that there is something wrong with their speech, so I implore the head of the hall to punish ......."

Shen Zhongxia waved his hand and said, "It's nothing...... But the mother...... I'm no stranger to me...... Don't mention it again in front of Madame in the future......"

Xuanyuan Kaishan nodded vigorously, and then lowered his head deeply. A hard-headed man like him, even if he sheds tears, he doesn't want people to see it.

After sorting out his emotions, Shen Zhongxia's voice was a little dry and asked, "Two altar masters, you said that ...... 'Ghost Gu Witch' wants to pull out our 'Seven Star Hall', when will you choose to start?"

Xuanyuan Kaishan and Tian Ling'er glanced at each other, and Shen Zhongxia's expression was a little desolate: "I said it...... You have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Tian Ling'er was embarrassed for a long time, and finally said: "If my subordinates are not mistaken, there are still ...... There are two days left, which is the 40th birthday of the main hall master......"

Shen Zhongxia nodded as if he had realized, he waved his hand and said, "The two altar masters should go down and do things...... Your altar mouth, remember to strengthen precautions, since the opponent has pulled out the 'Tiangang Altar', for the two and Murong Altar Master, I am afraid that you will not be able to ......"

Xuanyuan opened the mountain and Tian Ling'er, bowed down and said: "Subordinates, etc., they will be careful, please ask the head hall master and his wife to take care." ”

"Hmm. Shen Zhongxia said again: "The matter of longevity is still carried out according to the original plan." Since the opponent wants us to mess up, we don't follow their thoughts...... The master of this hall also takes a look, how many true friends and heroes dare to come to my death birthday banquet......"

Xuanyuan opened the mountain and enlightened: "Don't say that, the master of the main hall, even if it is a Yin ghost, we also have the strength and ability, so that they will be in the eighteenth layer purgatory of the Netherworld, and they will not be able to turn over for eternity and eternal life." ”

Shen Zhongxia shook his head and said: "Don't misunderstand the Lord of the Xuanyuan Altar, it's not that the master of this hall doesn't believe in the ability of all of you, it's just that since the opponent has such a momentum, the 'Seven Star Hall' can also be said to be a moment of life and death." It is not a pity for personal life and death, however, the 'Seven Star Hall' can no longer maintain the righteous path of 'Miao Jiang', and the 'Southwest' has to go back to the 'Ghost Gu Witch' five years ago to kill innocent people and cause trouble, that is the greatest misfortune and great unwillingness......" He paused for a moment and said:

"However, although there are few guests at this birthday banquet, the people who come will definitely be extraordinary. There is one of them, as long as he comes, maybe it will be enough to bring the 'Seven Star Hall' back to life......"

Xuanyuan Kaishan and Tian Ling'er couldn't help but ask out loud:

"Who is this distinguished guest?"

"I wonder who has that weight?"

Shen Zhongxia said: "'King of Killers', Cold North City." ”

Xuanyuan Kaishan took a breath, and Tian Ling'er said happily: "If there is a cold city lord to preside, it is really good, but I don't know ......"

Shen Zhongxia smiled slightly: "I, Shen Zhongxia, have been fighting with this 'King of Killers' for more than ten years, from 'Saibei' to 'Jingshi', and from 'Jingshi' all the way to 'Tiannan', it can also be said that they are enemies and friends in life and death (see "Gongzi Yu", "Overlord's Life", and "Death Gold" volumes). How many years have passed, time has passed, and it is time to laugh and grudge...... This is thanks to Mrs. Wan'er, Madame's last two palace masters have a relationship with the cold city lord, and the cold city lord has also had a great enmity against the 'Netherworld Valley', and the lady invited the cold city lord to attend my birthday, which is also to eliminate the grudge and rebuild the old good ...... for both sides."

Just as he spoke, the hey oilcloth paper covering the corpse in the courtyard suddenly trembled, Shen Zhongxia heard the voice, looked at it at a glance, in an instant, he didn't believe what his eyes saw, but the dead body of the Great Compassion Monk had already stood upright, his eyes were swollen and cracking, green as phosphorus fire, and ten fingers with white knuckles had been inserted into Shen Zhongxia's throat and Tian Ling'er's abdominal cavity!

This change suddenly, Shen Zhongxia leaned back in time, avoided the insertion of the Great Compassion Monk's "Great Compassion Finger", and at the same time made a move to "kick Beidou backwards", kicked out, and kicked the zombie monk's chest with a "bang", but at the same time, the five fingers of the Great Compassion Monk's left hand had pierced into the soft lower abdomen of the defenseless Tian Ling'er.

The zombie monk was kicked away and fell to the outside, with a "bone purr", like a string of beads that had been stripped of threads, and his body limbs were scattered to the ground, Tian Ling'er screamed in pain and fell to the ground forward.

Xuanyuan Kaishan shouted angrily and stepped forward with an axe, but the Great Compassion Monk was already dead, and the green juice oozing out of his already rotten and deformed face was even more terrifying!

Houtian Ling'er covered her lower abdomen, she broke out in a cold sweat, and she hissed, "It's not good...... Poison...... Gu!"

Shen Zhongxia knows best in his heart that his "upside kick Beidou" only kicked the Great Compassion Monk out of the air, and will never kick this old subordinate to death;

The monk of Great Compassion has been studying art in the "Shaolin Temple" for more than 40 years, and has been invading the "Great Compassion Finger" for more than 20 years, and the attainments on the ten fingers of his hands are far sharper than the tip of a knife and sharper than the sword.

Shen Zhongxia was about to inspect whether there were any other 'zombie killers' hidden in the group of green corpses wrapped in black tarpaulin, and suddenly a scream came from the inner room!

- It was the scream of Silver Lock, one of the two female disciples serving Madame Wen Wan'er!

The female disciples of the main hall of the "Seven Star Hall" are naturally not ordinary people, and the girls who can be selected to the inner house have been strictly screened and carefully cultivated by the master of the Shenzhong Hall, and they are all hard characters with excellent mental quality and skills;

What's more, this shout was still issued by the female disciple Yinsuo who sent Mrs. Wen Wan'er back to the room!

As soon as the screams started, Shen Zhongxia was already flying into the sky like an angry eagle, flashing out, and threw an order to Xuanyuan Kaishan in mid-air: "At all costs, save the Tiantan Master!"

The scream of the silver lock girl, when the voice landed, Shen Zhongxia had already arrived in front of the frightened Miao girl, he grabbed this beloved pretty girl, and asked in a panic: "What's the screaming? What's going on?!"

The silver lock was colorless, pointing directly behind his back with his hand, unable to speak......
