The blood gushing from Luo Yujing's neck filled her mouth - this was the first time Kusheng had sucked blood since he was born.
As the hot and fishy blood was absorbed, the two red marks on Ku Sheng's eyelids disappeared, and his eyes turned blood red.
On the first day of entering Baihe Temple, his master warned him not to drink human blood, put finger shackles and a mouth shackle on him, and sealed most of his power. Now, he took the initiative to remove all the seals.
When his eyes turned red, the evil spirit emanating from him instantly filled the entire bottom of the well. The evil spirits were suppressed by the thick evil spirit and screamed and cried, while the zombies seemed to be encouraged, and they grew fangs and claws while howling, and fought the evil spirits more fiercely.
Kusheng had no time to care about the zombies and evil spirits behind him. He buried his head in Luo Yujing's neck, deeply attracted by the smell of blood. He couldn't help but stab his fangs deeper, leaning against her neck and pressing against the skin behind her ear.
There was a very familiar soothing scent on her, faint but lingering.
The blood he swallowed continuously healed the tiny scars on his body. Even the broken scar on his neck that was barely connected by a red line was gradually merging and disappearing. His head and body recovered after absorbing the blood.
Blood continued to flow out, and the dying Luo Yujing felt the coldness and pain in her body. She showed a painful expression and subconsciously reached out to hold Kusheng's head. Her mind was no longer clear, and her soul was floating around.
The feeling of his hair being grabbed woke Kusheng up. He closed his eyes, took a deep sniff of the soothing fragrance on Luo Yujing's hair, withdrew his fangs from her neck, and put them into his mouth.
Luo Yujing was convulsing, her body was blue and stiff, and she was quickly turning into a zombie. Kusheng touched her lips and saw that she had grown zombie fangs, so he moved closer again. He used his sharp nails to pierce his neck, and then pressed Luo Yujing to his neck, letting her suck blood.
Ordinary zombies are corpses, without consciousness, just a horrible shell. He couldn't let her become like that. He wanted to turn her into a living zombie. As long as this body was not completely dead, he could keep her soul that was about to escape in this body, and perhaps she could regain consciousness.
She said she didn't want to die... He wasn't sure if this was what she wanted, but this was the only solution he had.
Luo Yujing, who had turned into a zombie, had completely lost her mind. She followed her instinct to greedily absorb blood. The blood with powerful energy turned her blue body back to white. Her eyes slowly turned red, but there was no light in her eyes, only the chaos of a lost mind.
The wound on Kusheng's neck healed quickly after all the seals were removed. Luo Yujing, the new zombie, couldn't bite through the tough skin and hugged his neck in vain. Kusheng touched her head and felt that she suddenly raised her head to look above the wellhead and sniffed.
She probably smelled the human presence above. It is zombie's instinct to suck blood from each person, and she may have subconsciously remembered her disgust for those people, so she was ready to make some moves.
Kusheng took out a yellow talisman and stuck it on her forehead. Luo Yujing instantly calmed down, with blood still on her lips, and she fell softly on his shoulder.
The sword of extermination was vibrating nearby, and he was no longer allowed to use it. Kusheng put the sword of extermination back into its sheath, wrapped it with a yellow talisman and carried it on his back. He held Luo Yujing in one hand and tore apart the remaining evil spirits with the other.
Once all the evil spirits are killed, he will also deal with the zombies created from these corpses.
Thirty members of the Zhong family went down the well, but did not see anyone coming out. For a moment they did not dare to send anyone down the well. A group of people stood guard outside with weapons, ready for battle.
They waited from day till dusk, and then waited until all the light gradually dimmed and it became pitch black all around, so they had to light lanterns.
In the dim lantern light, a figure finally appeared at the wellhead. There was a terrifying aura around this person, as if the air around him was twisted, and his evil aura was not human at all. He was holding a person in his arms, and his pair of red eyes looked around, and everyone he looked at trembled and retreated unconsciously.
Standing at the mouth of the well, Kusheng looked at the frightened Zhong clan members outside. There were men and women, young and old, just ordinary people.
He took a step forward and everyone stepped back. Suddenly he leaped up and kicked down the huge bell in the bell tower. With a loud bang, the bell, which was so heavy that hundreds of people could not lift it, fell down and covered the wellhead.
Kusheng walked out, saying, "Your clan god has perished, and all the evil spirits below have been killed. The remaining resentment and anger will dissipate after being suppressed for a hundred years. Don't move this bell again, and don't dig wells again, otherwise this place will become a place of death."
The Zhong clan members looked at each other, and after Kusheng walked away, someone suddenly burst into tears.
Xicheng, which used to be a place filled with the sounds of drums and flutes, has since lost its population and experienced several disasters, becoming completely silent just like its name.
In winter, heavy snow covers the sky and the earth.
Kusheng carried Luo Yujing in his arms as he walked through the snow. Luo Yujing closed her eyes and nestled in his arms, her face as white as frost, and a yellow talisman on her forehead fluttering gently in the cold wind.
In the past, she was always afraid of the cold on such days and had to stop to make a fire and rest after walking a short distance. But now that she has become a zombie, she is no longer afraid of the cold.
Noticing that Luo Yujing, who was lying quietly, became a little restless, Kusheng stopped and removed the yellow talisman on her forehead.
Luo Yujing opened her red eyes instantly. She had just become a zombie and her soul was injured by the evil spirit, so she was not in her right mind. She looked at him blankly and sniffed his scent. Kusheng poked two holes in his neck with his fingers, and blood flowed out. Luo Yujing immediately went over to eat it.
Sitting on a snow-covered rock, Kusheng held her with one arm and waited for her to finish eating.
Wait until she calms down again and then continue walking forward with her.
In the snow, they met a farmer pushing a cart. The farmer saw the two of them clearly, especially Kusheng's red eyes, and was frightened. He lowered his head and pushed the cart to the side of the road, trying to stay away from them as much as possible.
Luo Yujing, who smelled human presence, instantly raised her head and opened her mouth, with her fangs faintly visible. Kusheng pasted the yellow talisman that he had previously peeled off back on her head, and she closed her eyes drowsily again.
When they came to an unfrozen canal, Ku Sheng stopped, took off the yellow talisman, asked her to sit obediently on a stone beside her, dipped some water in it and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and her cold face, and also wiped her hands - just like she had done to him before.
Kusheng was resisting water at that time, but now he had to frown and take the initiative to wash her.
Luo Yujing's nails turned purple and black, with some sharp tips. Kusheng squatted in front of her, picked up her hands and cleaned them. As he was cleaning, Luo Yujing slowly grabbed two of his fingers. Kusheng paused, looked up at her, and saw that her eyes were still empty.
While walking on the road, Luo Yujing would suddenly grab his hand and accidentally grab the string of wooden beads on Ku Sheng's wrist. Ku Sheng would push her hand away and immediately see that her brows were furrowed and her lips were slightly open with fangs faintly visible - she was going to be angry!
Kusheng handed his hand back: "Damn it... You caught it!"
The sky cleared and the snow melted. Passing by a dilapidated bridge, Kusheng stopped to feed Luo Yujing blood. Kusheng sat on the bridge railing, holding Luo Yujing. When she finished eating and was about to leave, he suddenly heard her mouth open and uttered a word almost inaudibly.
"fragrant… "
Kusheng thought she was calling him, but after listening for a while and seeing no response from her, he held her and was about to leave. Suddenly, she grabbed his hair and pulled hard. Kusheng looked at her blank eyes depressedly and asked, "What's wrong?"
As she increased the force, Kusheng walked backwards back to where he was starting from and discovered a wintersweet tree growing beside the bridge, emitting a faint fragrance.
"Fragrant? This one?" He pointed at the wintersweet. Luo Yujing didn't respond, so he tentatively picked a few and put them in her hand.
She would occasionally show some reaction to the outside world, and Kusheng knew that this was a sign that she was getting better, but it might take a long time for her to fully recover.
One sunny day, Ku Sheng stopped under the eaves of a dilapidated house. After feeding Luo Yujing blood, he noticed that she was a little anxious, so he lit a piece of incense and inserted it at her feet. As a result, Luo Yujing sat on his lap and kicked the incense away.
Seeing that she frowned and was about to get angry again, Kusheng subconsciously pasted a yellow talisman on her to make her fall asleep... Then he looked at his hand and began to think about why she was suddenly angry again, and whether she would still remember that he was angry after peeling off the yellow talisman.
"Uncle Master Kusheng." Someone shouted from across the wall.
Kusheng looked and saw an old Taoist standing outside the broken wall and fence. He had a face beaten by wind and frost, his Taoist robe was stained with mud, his hair was half loose, and he looked like he was in a hurry on the road.
“Alas, Uncle-master Kusheng, when I noticed that your seal was broken, I rushed here without stopping. This old man is really…” Taoist Master Yan Tong climbed over the broken wall with a bitter look on his face and walked to two meters in front of Kusheng.
The sword that was placed at Kusheng's feet hummed and fell into Yan Tong's hands, and he put it behind his back. Yan Tong bowed as he did before, and said, "Uncle Master, follow me back to Baihe Temple."
Kusheng said: "When I came down the mountain, my master said that after I saved 1,300 evil spirits, I would be able to remove the seal on my body and be free from then on."
Yan Tong said nothing.
Kusheng added, "But I know that this is just a lie from my master. He calculated long ago that the energy of heaven and earth is changing, and that all the monsters and spirits will gradually disappear. I am destined not to be able to kill 1,300 of them. Even if I can kill 1,300 of them, I will only die."
Perhaps his doom was to be in the well of the Zhong family. He was born in the well and returned to the well. Perhaps this was the ending his master had predicted for him. It was only because of the incident of Luo Yujing that he came out of the well.
Yan Tong sighed, "Uncle Kusheng, our master just wants you to be like an ordinary person and live a hundred years."
Kusheng: "I know what Master means." Even if I didn't understand it at first, I figured it out later.
“The seal can be lifted at any time. What bound me was never the seal, but the promise I made to my master… You don’t have to treat it as a formidable enemy. Even if the seal is lifted, I will not kill people wantonly.” Kusheng said.
Yan Tong bowed to him again and said, "Uncle Master, please don't blame me. I am really worried... You should know that if the seal on your body is gone, even if you don't want to harm people, as long as you walk in the world, you will still attract countless ghosts and bring disasters. The longer you stay out like this, the worse it will be."
"I know. I will go back to Baihe Temple." Kusheng stood up. "I want to borrow the soul lamp in the temple to solidify the soul of one person."
Yan Tong silently took out something from his sleeve: "When the master left, he said, 'If one day, Kusheng can unseal himself, bring this soul lamp to see him.'"
Kusheng was silent for a moment, then took the small lamp and said, "I will return to the temple to be sealed again. Before that, I have to go somewhere first."
When the time comes, before you kill me, can you take me to Yuzhou to have a look
That's my hometown.
Luo Yujing once said this to him.
There was a clan called Qin in Yuzhou. Kusheng had never been close to it because the clean atmosphere there made him feel uncomfortable. The Qin God was born in the early and middle period and has been protecting the family for a long time, which made the family so large that it almost occupied the entire state. Even now, it is still a famous prosperous place in Dongzhou, and gods and ghosts cannot invade.
As soon as Kusheng stepped into Yuzhou, he felt that the aura of this place was different. Although the power of the Qin clan god here was also weakening, it was still stronger than the other clan god territories he had passed through.
The majestic and heavy "qi" enveloped the entire area, repelling him as an outsider. As he continued to move forward, the momentum that suppressed him became more fierce.
He was stopped outside a city. Two dignified ladies in white, accompanied by hundreds of solemn guards, were guarding a small shrine.
"Foreign evil god, why did you enter the Qin family's territory?" A gentle voice came from the shrine.
Kusheng held Luo Yujing in his arms, lowered his head slightly and said, "No offense, I just want to send her back home and find a place for her to sleep."
The Qin god in the shrine said nothing more, tacitly allowing him to temporarily walk through Yuzhou, and the team carrying the shrine quickly left.
Kusheng continued to move forward, found a place to bury Luo Yujing, and placed the soul lamp on her chest.
"This is your hometown. It will be more helpful for you to gather your soul... Wish you can recover soon."
