Chapter 518 The Zombie Taoist Priest (2 chapters complete)
But at that time, someone will surely stand up and continue to fight against evil!
……
Because of the emergence of the Blood Demon, which caused a delay, and if they didn't hurry on their way, they would miss the chance to attend Uncle Jiu's birthday banquet in Renjia Town. So, Mao Xiaofang and his group packed up and set off the next day.
Xiao Hai and A Chu were both filled with curiosity and anticipation for this trip, and they were both eager to go and see the outside world together.
As a girl who had only recently joined the sect, Ah Xiu naturally couldn't stay behind alone to guard the temple.
Faced with this situation, Mao Xiaofang had no choice but to temporarily close Fuxi Hall.
The villagers of Gantian Town have weathered many storms, and each time they have relied on Mao Xiaofang of Fuxi Hall to resolve the crisis.
So when they heard that Mao Xiaofang was leaving, they felt a little uneasy, as if they had lost their pillar of support.
"Master Mao, you must come back soon!" a villager said worriedly. "Is three days enough? Should I come and pick you up?"
Mao Xiaofang shook his head helplessly; three days was far too short for him.
He didn't want to travel day and night, excessively expending his energy, and even if he tried his best, it would be difficult to make the round trip in such a short time.
"Master Mao, please don't abandon us!" Another villager, worried that Mao Xiaofang would never come back, held him tightly, refusing to let him leave.
Mao Xiaofang was truly at a loss for words; his home was right here, so where else could he go?
“How about this, Master Mao? I have a horse-drawn carriage at home, I can take you there…” a villager suggested.
"Master Mao, why don't you let Master Ren stay?" another villager suggested.
Although Miss Ren is not as good as Master Mao, she is still quite capable of solving some problems as long as they are not major issues!
Shi Shaojian glared at the villager who had spoken up. "No sense of propriety! Wishful thinking!"
After finally calming the villagers down, the group left Gantian Town.
Lei Gang bid farewell to everyone and left alone as the Blood Demon dissipated from the world.
He was going to travel the world, and wherever there were demons and monsters, there he would be!
It must be said that the only good thing Wangcai did after the Blood Demon was born and gained divine power was to make Lei Gang abandon his evil thoughts and return to the righteous path!
Although Ah Xiu was reluctant, he knew that this was his path of cultivation!
……
The distance between Gantian Town and Renjia Town is not too far. After a four-day journey, the group finally arrived at their destination.
Uncle Nine originally did not plan to hold a grand birthday banquet; he simply wanted to invite a few close fellow disciples for a small gathering.
After all, it had been a long time since they had gathered together since they came down from the mountain.
These people were all Taoist priests, and they had no taboos about eating in the mortuary.
So, Uncle Nine specially invited the town's top chef to prepare two sumptuous banquets.
As the birthday celebrant, Uncle Nine naturally sat in the main seat.
His senior brother Shi Jian sat to his left, and Mao Xiaofang sat to his right.
Following them are Master Si Mu, Master Qian He, and four other fellow disciples who have a good relationship with Uncle Jiu.
Originally, because Shi Jian was present, many of the fellow disciples were somewhat reserved and did not dare to chat as freely as usual.
However, Shi Jian rarely showed a smile. Although the smile did not look very friendly and was even a little scary, his attitude made it clear that he hoped everyone could relax and speak freely.
Under Shi Jian's lead, the atmosphere at the table gradually became lively.
The fellow apprentices began toasting each other, chatting and laughing, sharing their recent news and interesting stories.
The younger generation at the other table seemed particularly at ease. They started toasting and laughing early on, creating a lively and cheerful atmosphere!
Among this group of young people, Qiu Sheng, Wen Cai, Ren Yinyin, and A Qiang are all disciples of Uncle Jiu.
As hosts, they naturally shoulder the responsibility of entertaining guests and do their best to make everyone feel at home.
Although Shi Shaojian was not a disciple of Uncle Jiu, he and Ren Yinyin were Daoist partners, so he could be considered half a family member.
At this moment, he unusually set aside his usual arrogant demeanor and answered his fellow disciples' questions about Taoist arts in a gentle tone, demonstrating his profound Taoist knowledge.
Master Simu's disciple, Jiale, is a very kind person. He takes good care of Xiaohai and Achu, who are sitting next to him, making them feel that their fellow disciples are all good people and that they can get along with them more.
Ah Xiu sat quietly on the other side of Ren Yinyin, clearly somewhat uncomfortable in such a lively setting.
Whenever someone looked at her, she would smile shyly, as if afraid that her performance would embarrass her master, Mao Xiaofang.
However, after a few drinks, Ah Xiu's cheeks gradually flushed, and she became more lively.
She began to actively communicate with everyone, talking more and speaking louder than before, fully immersing herself in the joyful atmosphere.
The banquet lasted until nightfall before everyone was satisfied.
"Knock knock knock!" A series of urgent knocks sounded, and everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their eyes to the door.
"Qiusheng, go open the door!" Uncle Jiu put down his wine glass and ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes, Master!" Qiu Sheng stood up, went to the door, and as soon as he opened it, a figure fell towards him.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Qiu Sheng helped the man up. "Trying to scam someone so late at night, huh?"
The man, his face filled with terror, grabbed Qiu Sheng's clothes. "Quick, is Uncle Jiu here? Find Uncle Jiu! Our village is haunted by zombies... a grave... so many zombies... I escaped with my life..."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Nine immediately stood up and said seriously, "Don't panic, speak slowly, which village is it?"
The man, panting heavily, said haltingly, "It's...it's Qingshui Village. Suddenly, a lot of zombies emerged from the tomb behind the village, biting anyone they saw. Many villagers were bitten..."
Uncle Nine frowned and looked at Mao Xiaofang, Shi Jian and the others, "It seems we have to go."
Shi Jian nodded. "Yes, let's not delay, let's set off immediately."
The younger generation also stood up, eager to try.
With so many senior disciples and elders here today, there's no danger at all; it's just a matter of stretching our muscles!
Xiao Hai and A Chu were eager to get started, while Ren Yinyin and Shi Shaojian exchanged a glance, their understanding unwavering.
Ah Xiu was still a little drunk, but she picked up the cold tea next to her and drank it all in one gulp, which made her feel more alert.
As usual, Wencai stayed behind to look after the mortuary, while Qiusheng and Ren Yinyin went with Uncle Jiu.
Mao Xiaofang originally wanted to keep his three apprentices as well, but seeing how expectant they all looked, he didn't say anything.
It's good to let them see more of the world!
The group consisted of Taoist practitioners who were accustomed to slaying demons and monsters anytime, anywhere. They quickly grabbed their weapons and left the mortuary.
After traveling for an hour, the group arrived at Qingshui Village.
As soon as we arrived at the village entrance, a thick stench of death hit us.
Under the moonlight, a group of zombies dressed in Qing Dynasty official robes were seen wandering aimlessly through the village, occasionally letting out low growls.
The surviving villagers huddled in their houses, trembling with fear.
The Taoist masters dared not delay and rushed forward to kill the zombies.
The younger generation also took out peach wood swords and talismans, copper coin swords, or fists and feet, each displaying their skills, and fought against the zombies.
Suddenly, a tall zombie slowly walked out from the depths of the village. It exuded a powerful aura of death, and wherever it went, ordinary zombies would give way and bow down.
Uncle Nine's expression changed drastically. "This is the Zombie King! Everyone be careful!"
