Volume 1 Uncle Nine's World Chapter 60: The Four Corpse-Driving Families
The yard wasn’t too big. Jiale could see most of it with just a glance.
The main house is fine, but there are two side rooms that are covered with talisman paper. This is not something a decent family would do. If nothing evil is happening, who would put up talisman paper?
At this time, Jiale was almost certain that the Taoist priest in his sixties was the one who had done Feng Shui for the Ren family back then.
Mr. Huang should have been taken into the main house by the Taoist priest in his sixties to discuss something. Jia Le thought about it, then slapped a lightening talisman on himself, jumped down, and rushed towards the two side rooms with the talisman papers pasted on them.
Jia Le did not expect to be discovered. Even if the Taoist priest in his sixties was in the Qi Refining Stage, it was impossible for him to send his spiritual consciousness outward all the time to observe everything in the yard. One must know that spiritual consciousness outward consumes a lot of energy. Otherwise, if Uncle Jiu sent his spiritual consciousness outward all the time, how could he not notice when Ren Weiyong broke the coffin?
Jiale approached the wing room carefully, thought for a moment, and then jumped directly onto the roof, gently lifted a corner of the roof, and looked inside.
There were three coffins neatly arranged in the room. Jiale was shocked to find that they were all zombies when he smelled the faint smell of corpse surrounding the coffins.
I went to the roof of another room to check again, and sure enough, there were three coffins in this room, and there were also three zombies in them, making a total of six zombies.
Two of them had thicker corpse aura, which was no worse than Ren Weiyong's at that time. They were definitely at the green zombie level.
Two green zombies and four white zombies. A serious Taoist priest would not keep so many zombies around him. Could it be that he is a specialist in refining corpses?
Jia Le was shocked and didn't dare to stay any longer. With so many zombies and the Taoist priest in sixty armor whose strength was unknown, if he was discovered, Jia Le might not be able to cope with it. He had to find a way to get Uncle Jiu out first, and then deal with the Taoist priest in sixty armor.
Thinking of this, Jiale left the yard directly.
The police station was in the center of town, not close to the yard, but with Jiale's walking speed, it didn't take long for him to see the gate of the police station.
"who?"
There were two policemen guarding the police station. Jiale did not force his way in. He took out a dollar from his pocket and threw it over. "You two, I want to visit Uncle Jiu who was just sent in. Please help me."
As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. Visiting a prisoner is against the rules and there's money to be made, so why not do it?
The two policemen took the money calmly and said, "It can't take too long."
After giving some instructions, he led Jiale inside. At this time, Uncle Jiu had already been locked up in a single cell. In fact, there were not many prisoners in the police station in Renjia Town. The important ones were usually sent to the county, and the minor ones were released after paying some money.
"Jia Le, why are you here?"
Awei was not there at this time, so there was less trouble.
The two policemen had already retreated, and Mr. Ren's body was still outside the prison, not far from Uncle Jiu's prison.
"Uncle Master, I have a new discovery."
As he spoke, Jiale told Uncle Jiu about how he had followed Master Huang to discover the existence of the Taoist priest in sixty armor, as well as the two green zombies and the four white zombies.
"Six zombies!"
At this time, Uncle Jiu also realized the seriousness of the matter.
After thinking for a while, he slowly said, "In the cultivation world, there are not only Buddhism and Taoism, there are also some other sects. Among them, the more famous one that is proficient in corpse refining is the 'Corpse King Valley'. The Corpse King Valley was most famous a hundred years ago. At that time, the owner of the Corpse King Valley had the cultivation level of the Spirit Refining Realm, and the Corpse King Valley even had four Corpse Kings.
However, human hearts are endless. The Corpse King Valley actually wanted to rely on the four corpse kings to unify the cultivation world. At that time, the four corpse kings led thousands of zombies out of the valley, causing quite a stir and harming countless people along the way.
How could the Buddhist and Taoist sects tolerate the Corpse King Valley, seeing how it was harming the people? So they united together and formed the 'Corpse Extermination Alliance'. However the Corpse King Valley was indeed very strong. Even with the combined efforts of the Buddhist and Taoist sects, it took them nearly twenty years to eradicate the Corpse King Valley, and they did not completely eliminate it.
There were still remnants left at that time, but the Buddhist and Taoist families suffered heavy losses, so they only sent people to investigate the remnants of the Corpse King Valley and eliminate them when the opportunity arose. Later, these remnants also tied their tails between their legs, and over time, no one from the Buddhist and Taoist families paid attention to them anymore.
I heard from your grandmaster that these remnants have now formed four major corpse-driving families, and have submitted letters of commitment to both Buddhism and Taoism to stop causing trouble and concentrate on making a living by driving corpses.
Over the years, we haven't heard of them doing anything harmful to the world, so we gradually acknowledged the status of the four great corpse-driving families."
The four great corpse-driving families!
Not to mention, Jiale really didn’t know about it, and Simu had never told him about it. He had been driving corpses for so long, but he had never encountered it. Was he really so low-key?
"Uncle Master, which four families are they?"
Uncle Jiu didn't keep the secret after hearing this.
"They are the Liu family of Jiangyin, the Chen family of Xiangxi, the Zhang family of Lingyin, and the Yu family of Huaiyin."
Xiangxi Chen family!
Of these four families, only the Xiangxi Chen family is located in Xiangzhou, and the other three are in other provinces. Jiale immediately became suspicious of the Xiangxi Chen family.
Refining corpses is not something you can do whenever you want. Even though Simu possesses the skill of corpse-driving, he can only manipulate dead bodies simply. Zombies are simply out of his control. Refining corpses requires inheritance, and in the world of cultivation, inheritance is what is held most tightly. Even if the Taoist priest in his sixties is not from one of the four major corpse-driving families, he is also a remnant of the Corpse King Valley.
"Uncle Master, do you think this Taoist priest in his sixties is from one of the four great corpse-driving families? I suspect he is the Feng Shui master who did the Feng Shui for the Ren family back then, otherwise why would he keep targeting the Ren family?"
Uncle Jiu nodded when he heard this. "We need to arrest the person and seize the stolen goods. If they are really from the Four Corpse-Driving Families, we cannot act rashly. We have already acknowledged the status of the Four Corpse-Driving Families. If we act rashly, it will be very troublesome. How about this, don't act rashly. Come over at night and wait for me to come out."
Jiale wanted to say something, but two policemen came in.
"Okay, time's up, let's go."
Jiale looked at Uncle Jiu, nodded, and left.
When they returned to Ren's house, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai had already arrived. After seeing Jia Le, they hurried over to greet him. Qiu Sheng was also a little worried about Uncle Jiu, "Brother, how is Master?"
"Don't worry, I'll go rescue Master Uncle at night. It's okay. On the contrary, zombies may come to the Ren family at night. We need to make some preparations."
Prepare!
Facing Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai's puzzled looks, Jia Le took them to find Ren Tingting.
The Ren family still has Ren Tingting. If Mr. Huang really covets the assets of the Ren family, he will definitely let the sixty-armored Taoist priest take action again and kill Ren Tingting.
"Ms. Ren, I will set up a talisman array in your room. It is already evening now. After you finish your meal, stay in your room and don't come out."
In the afternoon, Wencai had already told Ren Tingting that Mr. Ren might have been bitten to death by a zombie. Although Ren Tingting didn't believe it, she did not object to Jiale's words and nodded silently.
Jiale did not hesitate and directly set up the Maoshan Yellow Talisman Formation.
After a busy day, it was already night.
He handed a few talismans to Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, "I'm going to save my uncle. If zombies really appear, I'll rely on you."
