Master Jiang explained: "I don't know the details of the corpse raising site. I just heard from my friends that corpses can only be raised in places with rich blood energy."
Master Jiang and I looked around the bamboo house and talked in low voices.
The sky is still gloomy tonight, and the layers of dark clouds in the sky block the light of the stars and the moon.
Just as I was talking to Master Jiang, footsteps suddenly came from the other side of the bamboo house.
Soon, the man with a crew cut appeared at the door.
The man with the crew cut had a rather cold look in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "You two are lucky today. My master has just finished refining the corpse. He happens to have time now, so you can come in!"
After saying that, the man with the crew cut ignored us and turned around and walked into the bamboo house.
Master Jiang and I looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
The bamboo house doesn't look big from the outside, but after entering, I discovered that there is something mysterious inside.
The crew-haired man walked down the stairs and led us from the inner room of the bamboo house into a dark basement. The basement was very large.
When I got to the bottom, I found that there were about seven or eight corridors, which were connected in all directions. I estimated that the area was about the size of a basketball court.
There are grooves on the walls of the corridor, with candles placed in the grooves.
The man with the crew cut turned around and saw Master Jiang and I stopped. He said solemnly, "Let's go. You don't have to be afraid. Although this is where my master refines corpses, the zombies are locked in bamboo cages and can't escape!"
I swallowed and looked at the corridors.
I found that there were several candles in almost every corridor, and each candle faced a room. This meant that there were at least dozens of zombies in this underground space.
Damn it, there are dozens of zombies. If they were all released to attack Master Jiang and me, we wouldn’t be able to save our lives even if we had a dozen of them.
Master Jiang saw that I was so nervous that my face turned pale, and he whispered, "Let's go! Although Zhang the Lame is a corpse breeder, he is not evil and should not harm us.
”
"Yeah!" I nodded slightly.
After Master Jiang took a step, I followed him.
The buzz cut guy saw me take the last step and whispered, "Coward!"
Although I'm not a coward, I was really a little scared.
Moreover, the strong smell of blood in this underground space is even more pungent.
The man with a crew cut took Master Jiang and me to the third corridor on the right and stopped only when he reached the end of the corridor.
Seeing that we hadn't walked over yet, he stood there, waiting for us with a sullen face.
Master Jiang and I passed several doors that were made of wooden boards and blocked our view.
Each door panel was painted with the Bagua diagram and amulets were pasted on it. And through the door panels, Master Jiang and I heard rustling sounds behind the door.
I knew that was probably the sound a zombie made.
Soon, Master Jiang and I arrived in front of the man with a crew cut.
The crew-haired man had a gloomy face and said unhappily, "Why are you two so slow? My master really values his time!"
Master Jiang controlled his emotions and said as gently as possible, "I'm sorry, brother. This is our first time here and we were shocked by the scene. We are a little nervous."
Seeing that Master Jiang was showing weakness, the man with a crew cut became a little arrogant.
He taunted us coldly, "I knew you were cowards, and you are a Taoist priest who catches ghosts. You can't do that. I think you have never encountered a powerful ghost, otherwise you would have been killed by a ghost long ago!"
The buzz cut guy's words really irritated me.
I didn't care about Master Jiang's expression and cursed him harshly, "You son of a bitch, you are a dog with no ivory in its mouth! You call us cowards, huh? Even if we are cowards, we are better than you. You have no moral integrity and only know how to ask for favors. You are so shameless!"
"You're still talking to us about catching ghosts. I've only been in this business for less than a month. If I'd been doing this for seven or eight years, I'd be miles ahead of you. You don't even look in the mirror to see how you look. You still have a buzz cut and look like an idiot!..."
I swore a lot of foul language.
I felt good about scolding, but Master Jiang next to me looked pale and livid.
The guy with a crew cut opposite me was so angry that his eyes were about to burst.
His face looked ferocious, and in the dark corridor he looked scarier than a ghost.
"Asshole! What did you say? I'm going to tear your mouth apart today!"
The guy with a crew cut opposite was about to attack me viciously.
What I didn’t expect was that Master Jiang stood in front of me.
He is a man of few words and good at speaking, but today he touched my heart.
He said to the man with a buzz cut opposite him, "I'm sorry, brother. He's just a newbie and doesn't know the rules. Don't be angry. What he said just now was just angry words, not directed at you."
"It's not directed at me? Then who is it directed at?"
"Boy, if I don't teach you a lesson today, I think you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."
After saying that, the man with a crew cut raised his fist and was about to attack.
Master Jiang quickly stretched out his arms to stop him and pleaded, "Brother, please don't be angry. It's all our fault. Please don't be angry. As long as you are not angry, I am willing to give you another gift as compensation."
Just as Master Jiang finished speaking, unexpectedly, the wooden door next to the crew-haired man was kicked open with a bang.
With a loud "bang", the door panel fell down.
The man with a crew cut happened to be standing next to the door and was hit directly.
Master Jiang and I subconsciously took several steps back.
The man with a crew cut was caught off guard and was crushed by the wooden door.
"Ouch! Ouch! Master, Master, it's me, it's me... The person under the door is me!"
The man with a crew cut was crying out in pain.
His hand stretched out from behind the door panel, and when he poked his head out, I found that his nose was swollen.
While Master Jiang and I were surprised, an old man with dirty hair, cloudy eyes, a longevity lock around his neck, and wearing a short coat walked out of the room with a wooden cane.
After the old man came out, he looked at Master Jiang and me for a few seconds.
His eyes
It was very small, like an eagle's eye, emitting a cold light. But he did not attack us immediately, but snorted coldly and bent down.
The old man looked thin and his arms were skinny, but when he bent down, he grabbed the man with a crew cut from under the door panel.
The crew-haired man was still yelling, "Master, Master, you have to help me deal with that kid. He just scolded me, you should have heard it all, right?!"
It seems that this old man is the Lame Zhang.
I thought to myself, it is indeed quite strange. You can tell from Zhang Quezi's appearance and face.
When we heard the crew-haired man complaining to Zhang the Lame, Master Jiang and I felt very uneasy.
Just as Master Jiang was about to explain, something unexpected happened again.
I saw Zhang Quezi picking up the man with a crew cut, then picking up the wooden crutch and swinging it at the man with the crew cut.
The man with a crew cut was caught off guard and was beaten so hard that he screamed in agony, the sound like a pig being slaughtered.
"Master, please stop hitting me. Please stop hitting me... Why are you hitting me? Please stop hitting me!"
The man with a crew cut shouted while using his arm as a crutch.
After beating him seven or eight times, Zhang Cuzi finally put away his wooden crutch, and what followed was a scene that was neither funny nor sad.
The lame man actually stretched out his hand to the man with the crew cut and said, "Here, take the goodies they gave you!"
The man with a crew cut lowered his head and did not make any more excuses. He took out the box that Master Jiang had given him.
Seeing me staring at him, he hesitated for a moment, but still took out the ghost poison.
After taking the box and the piece of cloth wrapped with the ghost poison, the lame Zhang turned to the crew-haired man with a smile and said, "That's right, Dalong, as my disciple, how can you take other people's things casually?"
Then Zhang Quezi happily opened the box and the piece of cloth.
Then, he stuffed the two things into his body. Hearing what he said just now, I thought he was going to exchange the things with us, but I didn't expect that the two things were taken away by the old man himself.
After dealing with the crew-haired guy, the lame man turned around and looked at us, smiling evilly and asking, "
I want to know how you found this place? If you don't tell me, I will kill you!"
I nodded woodenly. The scene just now was so unique that I was stunned.
Master Jiang said quickly, "Don't be angry, Master Zhang. We said, we said... We were able to find this place thanks to a friend of mine. I once accidentally heard him mention that you lived here, so this time we rushed to the 'Green Bamboo Forest'."
"Who is your friend?"
Master Jiang replied, "It's 'Master Qian Suanzi' Wu Laoliu!"
When Zhang Quezi heard Master Jiang say that it was Wu Laoliu, he burst into laughter.
He said sarcastically, "Wu Laoliu is indeed quite skilled. He was able to figure out that I was in the Green Bamboo Forest. It seems that his divination skills are extraordinary. But you guys are overestimating him by giving him the title of 'Thousand Calculator'!"
"When I was a Taoist priest, Wu Laoliu was just a young man who hadn't even grown all his hair yet. I didn't expect that he has become a master now. Hehe, interesting, interesting!..."
This Zhang the Cripple is even more arrogant than his apprentice.
And the next moment, Zhang Cuzi's laughter stopped abruptly.
He stared at me and Master Jiang like a hawk, and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Although Master Jiang and I were a little afraid of this old man with a strange temper, we still told him about our search for the black-bearded fruit.
When the old man heard that we were looking for the black-bearded fruit, he immediately frowned.
He said coldly, "Do you know the value of the black beard fruit?"
All I know is that the black-bearded fruit is not easy to find, but I don’t know its value.
Master Jiang said awkwardly: "The black-bearded fruit is indeed priceless, but, Master Zhang, as long as you promise to give us a female black-bearded fruit, the money will not be a problem."
But Master Jiang's words made Zhang the Lame laugh again.
Or maybe Zhang Guizi himself has a weird temper and likes to laugh in strange ways.
"Hahaha... ... "
Zhang the Cripple laughed so hard that he fell backwards.
While smiling, he raised his hand and pointed at me and Master Jiang.
I don't understand what's so funny about this.
