I was surprised by Wang Jiuyang's attitude. He actually let me escape from the battlefield.
This is not my style.
I smiled bitterly, shook my head towards Wang Jiuyang, and said, "Uncle Jiuyang, thank you for your kindness, but since I, Yang Tianyi, have come here, there is no way I won't save people. Besides, Zhao Xilan is still my friend and has helped me many times. So, I still have to do my best to help."
"Even if we really encounter a powerful Guworm Master, I believe that as long as we work together, we can still find a way to deal with it."
Seeing that I was not going to listen, Wang Jiuyang snorted unhappily and said, "Well, since you have already made up your mind, it's useless for me to say this. Let's go back to Longtan Inn."
"good!"
Then we walked towards Longtan Inn.
However, just as we walked to the door of Longtan Inn, we heard a voice calling from afar, "Tianyi, disciple... wait a minute!"
I still have a strong sense of voice recognition.
When I heard that voice, I knew it was my cheap master Zhang the Lame Zhang Chu coming.
When I turned around, I saw Zhang Chu, who was rushing over in a dusty state.
But what surprised me was that there were two people following Zhang Chu. The two people were dressed very strangely. Not only were they wearing heavy clothes in the hot weather, but they also had a big hood covering their faces and a cotton scarf wrapped around them.
In short, the two people covered themselves tightly.
As soon as I turned around, Zhang Chu came close to me, dragging his lame leg.
Before I could react, Zhang Chu gave me a big bear hug.
"Hey, third disciple, Master missed you so much!"
Zhang Chu said with a smile. He hugged me tightly with his two arms.
But I still smelled the stench on him. That stench was not just ordinary stench, it was the stench of a corpse.
I forced a smile back and asked, "Master, why are you here so early?"
Zhang Quezi let me go and said with a smile, "When you called me, didn't you say you were already on the train? I was thinking that things were not peaceful in Miaojiang, especially with the number of people raising Gu. I was worried about you, so I rushed to the Jiangbin train station that night and bought a ticket. I came right away!"
Although Zhang Chu said this with a smile, I was really touched.
You should know that Zhang Chu and I don’t actually have any deep master-disciple relationship at all. It’s just that he transferred his good deeds to me.
But I didn’t expect that I was so important in Zhang Chu’s heart.
To be honest, I do feel a little ashamed.
I was moved and decided to respect this master in the future. After all, he taught me well.
I bowed to Zhang Chu and said respectfully, "Thank you, Master, for your concern for me!"
Zhang Chu was stunned by my action, then he patted my shoulder with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's okay. We are just master and disciple."
Then, I looked at the two strange men behind Zhang Chu and asked, "Master, who are those two people? I didn't hear that you brought other people here?"
Zhang Chu smiled when he heard what I said.
Then he came close to me and said in a low voice, "Tianyi, these two people are none other than the two zombies refined by your master. Didn't you say that you would take your master to find that Miao girl? So, I refined the two zombies for you.
The two most powerful zombies are brought here."
"With these two zombies, we will have some confidence in dealing with that Miao girl."
For a moment I was shocked.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Chu brought two zombies.
This reminds me of the corpse-raiser named Heishui whom I met on the train earlier.
Oh, right! I have to mention here that raising corpses and driving corpses are different.
The zombies raised by corpse-raising houses are somewhat similar to zombies, with weaker movements and body rigidity. The zombies driven by corpse-drivers are generally jumping zombies. The jumping zombies have a higher degree of rigidity, and their arms will be stretched out when they move.
The reason why the corpse jumper stretches his arms is actually to coordinate the balance of the body.
Without further ado.
After listening to Zhang Chu's introduction, I took Zhang Chu to Wang Jiuyang and the young monk Yuquan and introduced them to Zhang Chu, "Master, this is my uncle Wang Jiuyang. This is my friend Yuquan. Yuquan is a young monk."
Wang Jiuyang frowned slightly when he saw Zhang Chu. When I introduced him, he stood there without saying anything. On the contrary, Yuquan talked to Zhang Chu enthusiastically.
And I noticed that Zhang Chu's gaze was also directed at Wang Jiuyang.
The two people's eyes met and there was a brief confrontation.
I was afraid that Zhang Chu might misunderstand me, so I explained, "Master, this Uncle Jiuyang is the junior brother of my second master. As for my second master, he is another master I met after I became your disciple."
Zhang Chu nodded and said nothing.
However, I noticed that his expression suddenly darkened.
After a while, Zhang Chu pulled me aside.
At a corner of the street, Zhang Chu asked me, "Tianyi, is that Wang Jiuyang the same Wang Jiuyang from the Tianzheng Sect? Is his senior brother called Jiang Jiuzhen?"
I didn't expect Zhang Chu to ask about this matter, and he was right. Wang Jiuyang was indeed a member of the Tianzheng Sect, and he was indeed Jiang Jiuzhen's junior brother.
I was surprised and asked, "Master, how do you know this?"
Zhang Chu's face had become as pale as paper at this time.
His Adam's apple trembled, and he leaned close to me and said in a low voice: "Tianyi, why are you with this kind of person? Don't you know that Wang Jiuyang is an evil Taoist priest? Moreover, he is bloodthirsty and is the kind of person who will do anything to achieve his goals."
"Once, a villager offended Wang Jiuyang, and Wang Jiuyang killed everyone in the village like chickens. Not a single person was left alive. Wang Jiuyang's bad reputation in the industry has been around for thirty years. It's just that Wang Jiuyang has disappeared in recent years, and many people have forgotten about him."
"But I tell you, this Wang Jiuyang is definitely not a good person. I advise you not to deal with him, otherwise you might get into trouble."
I didn't expect Zhang Chu to talk to me about Wang Jiuyang. And from his tone, he didn't sound like he was joking at all. According to my understanding of Wang Jiuyang, this Wang Jiuyang is really the bloodthirsty Wang Jiuyang.
My face looked ugly and there was anxiety in my eyes.
After a while, I sighed and said to Zhang Chu, "Master, I have no other options now. Wang Jiuyang covets the things on me, so he has been following me all the time. Although I know he is not a good person, I didn't expect him to be such a bloodthirsty person."
Zhang Chu thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Tianyi, since you can't get rid of him, you should just pretend to be nice to him.
Snake, try to find an opportunity, and we, the master and the disciple, will kill him. Otherwise, you will be in trouble."
I thought about it and finally nodded.
Then Zhang Chu and I returned to the street.
At this time, Wang Jiuyang walked towards me and Zhang Chu.
He smiled and asked, "What have you been doing, you two?"
Zhang Chu snorted coldly and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Do you think it's your business what we say?"
Wang Jiuyang said unhappily: "Of course I can't control what you say, but some things may not be as you imagine. I hope you don't misunderstand me."
Wang Jiuyang’s words stunned Zhang Chu and I.
After we looked at each other, I spoke awkwardly, "Yes, yes, Uncle Jiuyang is right. It's best not to have any misunderstandings when we just met. If that happens, we won't be able to be friends in the future!"
I laughed a few times.
However, Wang Jiuyang and Zhang Chu still looked at each other, and there was hostility between them.
I turned to Zhang Chu and said, "By the way, Master, one of our friends was poisoned by a Gu. It was with the method you taught me that we were able to remove the poison. But there is another person who has a Gu worm in his body. We don't know what to do with him!"
"Master, do you have any solution?"
Zhang Chu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go and see that person first. We'll have to see if we can save him first."
"Okay, then Master, let's go to Longtan Inn first."
Then I led the way and brought Zhang Chu and the two zombies into the Longtan Inn.
Because I was already familiar with the female boss Li Shuang, I didn't check her ID.
After booking another room, we went up to the second floor.
When Li Shuang, a distant relative of the waiter, heard me say that my master Zhang Chu might have a way to drive out the poisonous insect in the waiter's body, she seemed a little excited.
She also followed us into Room 203.
At this time, there was no one in Room 203, and the waiter was lying quietly in bed.
Although there was a suppression talisman on his body that temporarily suppressed the poisonous insect inside, the poisonous insect itself was poisonous, so patches of black appeared on the waiter's face. That was a sign of poisoning.
After entering the room and arranging the two zombies, Zhang Chu went to the waiter's bed and directly lifted up the waiter's clothes.
Looking at the small cut above the waiter's belly button, Zhang Chu's eyes showed a hint of horror.
He explained: "Generally, poisonous insects enter a person's body through the mouth, but there are not many poisonous insects that drill directly into the body through the belly button. And this kind of poisonous insect must be a very vicious one."
Afterwards, I stated the previous situation again.
Zhang Chu nodded and said, "Since you have already saved Lou Xiaoman using the recipe I taught you, that means the insect in the waiter's body is really a Chi Gu."
"But this kind of poisonous insect is very destructive to the host's body, and its reproduction ability is also quite high. As long as there is enough food, the Chi Gu can reproduce rapidly. I have encountered this kind of poisonous insect before when I fought with the Miao girl Ana."
"Although I have encountered this kind of Chi Gu before, I am not completely sure whether I can expel it from the host's body. I can only give it a try!"
