"Master, why haven't they come back yet?"
Inside the store.
Zeng Cheng tilted his head and looked outside. Perhaps because today was Ghost Festival, the originally bustling night market seemed exceptionally quiet, with very few pedestrians coming and going on the road.
At a glance, you can see that to the end of the street, almost every household has a brazier at the door and paper money is burned.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Zeng Cheng felt a little uneasy. After all, Uncle Jiu was not in the store, and Uncle Jiu had told them that Ghost Festival was terrible, so he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
He closed the door and turned on all the lights in front and back of the main house. The bright lights dispelled the uneasiness in his heart.
"I'd better read a book for a while."
Zeng Cheng came to the back hall and took out the book given to him by his uncle. Although he started learning earlier than Zhong Bang, Zhong Bang had already been able to slay demons and monsters and was ready to become a master.
And with the help of the spirit stones given by his Uncle Jiu, he was able to barely reach the second level of human master. The gap was simply too huge.
It is precisely because of this gap that Zeng Cheng wants to make up for it through hard work, the more he learns the better.
He moved a stool and sat in the middle of the room. On the left and right were two bodies, a man and a woman, with talismans stuck on their foreheads.
This was sent to him not long ago. They said it was dug up from the mountain today. Uncle Jiu happened to be taking Zhong Bang out, so Zeng Cheng put the two of them in the middle of the room, quietly waiting for the master to come back.
He felt a little uneasy sitting there. He turned his head to look around the room, and when he saw the statue of the City God on the table, his eyes lit up.
"Brother, please take care of me, your junior fellow apprentice. I will burn an extra stick of incense for you tomorrow."
Zeng Cheng rubbed his hands and placed the statue of the City God behind him. It was incredible that the sense of security in his heart soared. Even the cold wind seemed to be less strong.
He sat down, but he saw the female zombie out of the corner of his eye. This was the first time he saw a zombie. Zhong Bang had encountered it several times, but he was weak and had never had the chance to see it. He had only heard about it.
"It's not necessarily a zombie..."
Zeng Cheng looked at it carefully. The woman's body was beautiful, with a unique figure. Her clothes were still intact. She didn't look like a dead person at all, but rather like she was sleeping.
But according to the people who brought it here today, they were dug out from a tomb that was two hundred years old. The time is engraved on the tombstone, so it should be correct.
Two hundred years later, it is still so beautiful.
Zeng Cheng felt a little moved for a moment, so he reached out his hand and touched it. Well, he didn't have any bad intentions, so he touched the yellow talisman on the female corpse's head.
"Why does this yellow paper look like the talisman drawn by the master?"
He flipped through the Maoshan book in his hand. He felt like he had seen it somewhere before and it looked particularly familiar. He flipped through it again and found it in the book as expected.
"Corpse-suppressing talisman."
"The general is here."
Zeng Cheng compared it with the book and found that it was exactly the same, both in the handwriting and the structure of the talismans.
"This is a talisman to suppress corpses, so the woman in front of me is a zombie?"
In order to get the confirmation in his heart, he carefully peeled off the talisman on the female corpse's head, but the lady did not move at all. Zeng Cheng stared at her for a long time and found that she did not move, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that after being suppressed by the corpse-suppressing talisman for two hundred years, this zombie may be dead.
Or maybe it's not a zombie at all.
He slowly sat back in the chair and continued to look at the detailed explanation of the spell.
"The Corpse-Suppressing Talisman was created by Zhong Kui when he attained enlightenment. It inherits the masculine strength from above and connects the yin harmony from below, and it connects the five elements. It is intended to suppress all monsters, ghosts, and monsters. This is the Corpse-Suppressing Talisman."
"All the restless wronged souls or hardened corpses that have been attached with the Corpse Suppression Talisman are ready to burst forth with their powers. Do not allow the Yin and Yang energies to meet. Future generations must not remove this talisman, otherwise the wronged souls will scatter and the corpses will stand up, causing endless troubles!"
Zeng Cheng looked at the terrifying explanation in the book, and then looked at the talisman he had just received in his hand. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "It shouldn't be that serious."
He subconsciously turned his head and looked at the table where the female corpse had been placed, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Because the female corpse that had just been lying on the platform had disappeared!
It's really weird!
Zeng Cheng's face turned pale with fright. He turned his head subconsciously and saw a woman standing behind him, looking at him with deathly eyes.
"Fuck you!"
He was so scared that he fell to the ground. The female corpse was not at all polite and just pounced at him, scaring Zeng Cheng so much that his brain went blank.
Facing zombies, what can he, an ordinary person who has just embarked on the path of cultivation, do
Finished.
Finished!
Zeng Cheng felt extremely regretful. Why was he so naive
At this moment, the statue of the City God that he placed beside him suddenly lit up, and a ray of light spread throughout the room.
Zeng Cheng, who was sitting on the ground, immediately noticed something unusual. He saw the female zombie in front of him floating in the air, approaching him little by little. It was so slow, as if the speed had been slowed down a hundred times.
What's going on
He didn't have time to think and wanted to run away. He wanted to raise his hands, but he couldn't.
Because it's too slow!
Zeng Cheng felt that his brain was working very fast and his arms kept rising, so slowly that it was maddening.
But soon, something even more depressing happened to him.
He kept controlling his arms, and found that his arms went up, down, and shook.
Moreover, he did all these things by himself. His hands couldn’t keep up with his brain, so there was a delay!!!
Zeng Cheng couldn't complain about this damn delay. He could only look towards the door, hoping that the master would come back soon.
The female zombie slowly descended from the air, and he slowly twisted his body. The man and the zombie looked at each other awkwardly.
A short half meter was just a breath of time for the zombies, but now it took who knows how many hours.
Zeng Cheng felt that his eyes were about to become cross-eyed, his buttocks were numb, and he could only raise his arms two fingers high.
Master! Come back soon.
The flowers I waited for you have all withered...
Zeng Cheng already felt his anus protesting. He had maintained this position for several hours. If he didn't protest, he would be a fool!
Just then, he heard footsteps in the yard, which made him very happy. Master, Master is back.
"Acheng, you haven't slept yet, sleep..."
Uncle Jiu stepped into the room and couldn't put it down. Before he could say anything, he became extremely slow.
Oh no, someone is ambushing us.
He and Zeng Cheng stared at each other, and the room fell into silence.
Then, Zhong Bang came back. He looked at Uncle Jiu standing at the door with a strange look on his face, "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Don't come in!
Zhong Bang looked into the room curiously, "Ah Cheng, what's wrong with you?"
He stepped in, then couldn't step in...
Uncle Jiu and Zeng Cheng: …
"Hey, Uncle Feng, Ah Cheng, Ah Bang, are you still awake so late?"
When A-Lian heard the noise, she yawned and stuck her head out from inside, and at a glance she saw the strange crowd standing at the door.
She walked over slowly, and the three of them roared in their hearts at the same time.
"Don't come over here!"
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
At a glance, A Lian saw the female zombie floating in the air with a ferocious face, and Zeng Cheng sitting on the ground with his eyes crossed.
This scared her.
She rushed in quickly, and then...
Four people played Statues all night long. It was fun, except that the eyes were a little slanted.
"Russell, you're dead! I said it! Even the Three Pure Ones can't stop you!"
