Chapter 111: Night Exploration of the Cemetery, Corpse Driving
Hearing this, Zhang Qianyang was shocked and sobered up, and asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"
Li Daoxuan summarized the words and recounted what had happened before.
"Master, Sister Yu said that she saw a very strange . In the cemetery outside Longyou County, many zombies jumped out of the graves and jumped towards the southeast together!"
Zhang Qianyang's eyes flickered, and he said, "No, the conditions for zombie transformation are already harsh. It can be said that encountering one case is accidental. How could there be so many zombies in a small county like Longyou?"
Li Daoxuan nodded and said, "Yes, that's why I think that the old man we met today, his transformation into a corpse might not be a coincidence."
But then Li Daoxuan frowned again, puzzled: "But wouldn't zombies bite their loved ones to death first? The people buried in that cemetery are all from Longyou County, but there haven't been any zombie bites in Longyou County recently..."
This is also what Li Daoxuan couldn't understand. The female ghost saw many zombies jumping out of the grave. This happened more than a month ago, but during this period, Longyou County was peaceful.
How strange...
Zhang Qianyang jumped out of the coffin and said, "Since you can't figure it out, let's go and take a look."
Li Daoxuan nodded, and the two of them used their teleportation skills to rush towards the cemetery in the suburbs. Chen Ziyu also went with them.
A moment later, the two men and the ghost arrived at a cemetery in the suburbs.
In the middle of the night, tombstones stood in the darkness, surrounded by willow trees, swaying in the night wind like ghosts.
Looking at those grave mounds, some are covered with green grass and no one cares about them, while others are clean and tidy, with offerings and flowers on them. I guess their descendants often worship them there.
Everyone looked around and found that all the graves were intact.
However, according to the ghost girl's memory, many corpses turned into zombies and jumped out of the graves, so some of the graves should have cracked.
Li Daoxuan walked forward and opened the third eye between his eyebrows.
There aren't any ghosts around, just a heavier yin energy.
Li Daoxuan looked at the graves one by one. When he saw the sixth one, he suddenly stopped and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Master, this tomb is empty. There is no body."
Zhang Qianyang said: "It seems that the people in this tomb have turned into zombies."
Li Daoxuan continued to look, and his brows furrowed more and more.
Finally he stopped and said to Zhang Qianyang: "Master, all sixteen tombs are empty!"
Zhang Qianyang's hand stroking his beard moved slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Even he was shocked by this number. Sixteen zombies appeared in such a small cemetery?
It’s abnormal, very abnormal!
Unless someone is deliberately raising corpses!
But he had just carefully surveyed the surroundings and found no Yin-gathering formation or signs of corpse-raising.
This also confused Zhang Qianyang. With his knowledge, he couldn't figure it out for a while.
Chen Ziyu thought about it and suddenly asked, " Who restored these tombs to their original state?"
Li Daoxuan and Zhang Qianyang looked at each other.
Yes, if the zombies jumped out of the graves and went southeast, then who restored these cracked tombs?
That person definitely doesn't want to attract other people's attention, especially since Wanshou Palace is located in Longyou County and the Taoists there are really capable.
"Could it be someone from the corpse-driving lineage?"
Zhang Qianyang murmured to himself, if we talk about who in the world is most familiar with zombies, it must be the corpse-driving lineage in Jingzhou.
The corpse-driving clan is best at the art of raising and controlling corpses. Hundreds of years ago, they once raised a drought demon, which caused Jingzhou to become a barren land for thousands of miles. Finally, Buddhism and Taoism joined forces to completely seal the drought demon.
When reaching the realm of Hanba, the physical body is almost immortal, and it is a blessing to be able to seal it.
In order to make up for the mistakes they made, many masters of the corpse-driving school died in that battle, resulting in the current decline of the corpse-driving school.
Zhang Qianyang shook his head again, not quite sure.
Because even if someone is a corpse-driver, he may not be able to raise sixteen zombies in one breath without leaving any traces.
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw his apprentice sitting in front of a grave, taking out yellow paper, cinnabar and a brush, and drawing talismans.
I got closer to take a look and saw that it was not the talisman from Mount Longhu.
But the flowing rune seemed more and more familiar to Zhang Qianyang the more he looked at it, until the last stroke was completed and a lively crane appeared on the paper. He then remembered, wasn’t this the Maoshan Crane Demon-Hunting Talisman?
Li Daoxuan held the talisman in his hand and smiled at the shocked Zhang Qianyang: "Master, no matter who did it, let's find the zombies first."
Zhang Qianyang pinched off a beard, pointed at the Crane-Finding Demon Talisman, and said, "You, how come you have the Maoshan Sect's talisman?"
This Fairy Crane Demon-hunting Talisman is no ordinary talisman, but the Maoshan Sect's secret that is not passed down. It is a precious talisman recorded in the "Shangqing Lingfu Jing" and cannot be easily taught even to the Maoshan Sect's disciples.
Li Daoxuan coughed and explained: "Master, it's the same as the magical power of the hair-blowing creature."
Zhang Qianyang finally understood and said, "So that's how it is. It seems that you also had some connection with Maoshan in your previous life."
Li Daoxuan could only nod in agreement.
Ever since the awakening of Erlang Zhenjun's third eye, Zhang Qianyang has been convinced that his disciple must be the reincarnation of a god or Buddha, so Li Daoxuan simply said that these magical powers he suddenly acquired were some memories he accidentally recalled.
Zhang Qianyang did not doubt it. After all, the teachings of Taoism have always been mysterious, and some people even received teachings from their ancestors in their dreams.
Li Daoxuan's divine eye is the best explanation. Even if he is not the reincarnation of Erlang Zhenjun, he is definitely not of ordinary blood.
However, Zhang Qianyang still warned: "After all, this talisman is a secret of Maoshan. When you use it in the future, you must be careful to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."
Li Daoxuan nodded, then smiled and said, "Master, do you want to learn?"
Zhang Qianyang rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't learn. I am currently practicing the magical power of turning hair into matter. I have already gained some insights. It will probably take a few more years for me to master it."
There was a hint of pride in his voice; it took him only a few years to develop such a powerful magical power; it was enough to be proud of.
"By the way, disciple, how long did it take you to achieve enlightenment?"
As soon as he asked this question, Zhang Qianyang wanted to slap himself. Wouldn't this just make himself uncomfortable?
As expected, the disciple said calmly: "It will only take seven or eight days."
Zhang Qianyang sneered and said, "Tomorrow when you practice swordplay, I will personally accompany you to practice and help you gain some practical combat experience."
Li Daoxuan's mouth twitched, Master, you can't afford to play this...
Chen Ziyu couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Aren't you two master and disciple? Why do you always like to bicker? Why don't you get down to business?"
The master and disciple coughed, feeling a little awkward.
Li Daoxuan held the talisman in his hand and recited the incantation silently.
"The white crane is a magical bird, the white crane species, the magical talisman drawn by the magical talisman is divine. The great white crane floats away in the clouds, and does not allow the demons to escape their true form. Hurry!"
The next moment, the talisman flashed white light and turned into a small crane. It circled, then flapped its wings and flew towards the southeast.
