The original god of the Jyota Jinchūriki

Chapter 178 Zombies Appear
At this time, in the mess in the hall of the Wangsheng Hall, Chongyun stood there blankly. With such a big movement, the evil spirit should have been exposed, but he didn't sense any evil breath. Moreover, the coffin was empty. There was no person who came back to life as Mona said.

In the midst of peace, Chongyun felt a little discouraged. Could it be that there were no weaker evil spirits in this world? If all of them were the size of that giant octopus, wouldn't he, a Taoist priest, become a joke?

"Chongyun, don't be so depressed. Maybe Miss Mona was wrong this time."

"You'll definitely encounter evil spirits in your lifetime."

If other people heard what Xingqiu said, they might think he was cursing. But when it came to Chongyun, it was not a bad word. Xingqiu patted Chongyun on the shoulder and said a few words to comfort him.

His friend was really strange. He was an alchemist but he never encountered any evil spirits. Xingqiu didn't know whether he should feel that Chongyun had good luck or bad luck.

"But I really saw a hand stretched out from the coffin just now, just like the zombie in your Liyue Legend..."

Before Mona could finish her words, she saw a figure walking down from the second floor of the Hall of Rebirth. No, to be more precise, it should be jumping down. The sound of the figure's feet hitting the ground made Mona's heart jump. Thinking of the descriptions of zombies she had seen in the ancient books of the Hall of Rebirth these days, Mona's legs went weak and she knelt down on the ground.

Xingqiu looked up when he noticed something unusual. This sight almost made the second young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce scream out, "Oh my god, there really are zombies in the Wangsheng Hall. How is Hu Tao supposed to be the head of the Wangsheng Hall?"

No, no, now is not the time for this. Xingqiu shook his head and forced himself to calm down. In this situation, he had to take Chongyun away quickly. It would not be too late to talk about other things later.

Seeing that his good brother didn't speak for a long time and pulled his clothes, Chongyun thought that Xingqiu was worried about him. In order not to make Xingqiu worry, Chongyun calmed down and smiled at Xingqiu.

"Xingqiu, I'm used to it. Don't worry, huh? Why do you look so bad? Are you sick?"

Xingqiu did not answer Chongyun's question, but asked Chongyun a question with a pale face.

"Chongyun, does your family of exorcists have any means to deal with zombies?"

Zombies? Why is Xingqiu suddenly interested in zombies? Chongyun, who had his back to the stairs, was a little confused, but since he had played with Xingqiu since childhood, Chongyun did not ask in detail, but answered seriously.

"Of course I have it, but I just don't have it with me. Xingqiu, why do you suddenly ask this? Is your new novel about zombies? If I have time, I can explain it to you."

He remembered that Xingqiu had mentioned before that a bookstore called Yaedou on Inazuma's side was going to open a branch in Liyue Harbor. Chongyun thought that Xingqiu was going to publish a new book and opened his mouth to explain zombies to Xingqiu. Chongyun dared to guarantee that no one knew more about zombies than their exorcist family, well, except for the little zombie named Qiqi.

"No, compared to this, I think we should run for our lives now."

As he spoke, Xingqiu pulled Chongyun, who didn't know what was happening, and ran towards the entrance of the Wangsheng Hall. Before they stepped out of the door, Xingqiu felt his head hit hard against something.

"Ouch, what are you doing~" Paimon sat on the ground covering her head. She really didn't know what had happened to her head. Every time she got hurt, it was always her smart little head that was hurt. If this continued, she would become dumber than a pot crust.

"Paimon, why are you alone? Never mind, now is not the time to talk about this. Let's run! There are zombies in the Hall of the Dead!"

Seeing Paimon covering his head, Xingqiu was quite happy at first. After all, with Ying, the hero of Liyue Harbor, around, it would be easy to deal with a zombie. But when Xingqiu looked carefully, he found that Ying, the traveler who had always been inseparable from Paimon, was not with Paimon. So what are you waiting for? Run away.

"I am not afraid of zombies. Wait, zombies? That's Qiqi. What's there to be afraid of? Xingqiu, you should apologize to Paimeng right away."

Paimeng rubbed her little head, put his hands on his waist, raised his head and looked at Xingqiu with an arrogant look. Although Ying and Ruojin were talking about Keqing in the back and didn't let her listen, she was still very confident because Paimon knew that Ruojin and Ying would never watch her being bullied.

Ruo Jin, who had just walked to the entrance of the Hall of Rebirth, also heard Xingqiu's words, which made him a little puzzled. Zombies? He didn't sense any zombies in the Hall of Rebirth. And even if there were zombies, shouldn't they be the ones running away? Why did Xingqiu run out in a panic?

"Are you looking for me~?"

A white and tender little hand was silently placed on Xingqiu's shoulder. The faint words gave Xingqiu goose bumps all over his body. He turned his head mechanically, only to see a strange man wearing sunglasses and the same oversized zombie costume as Qiqi standing behind him.

“Ahhhhh, Ruojin, help me.”

Before Xingqiu could call out, Mona called out first. Perhaps she felt that it was unsafe in the Hall of Rebirth, so Mona transformed into a pool of water and hid behind Ruojin.

Feeling that Mona behind him was about to tear off his clothes, Ruo Jin felt for the first time that Mona was not only talented in astrology, but also seemed to have the talent to become another Shen He in terms of strength. Perhaps he could introduce Shen He to Mona, and after the two of them had been in contact for a long time, Mona might be able to become a melee mage.

Thinking of Mona turning into a violent astrologer who smashed people with magic weapons, Ruo Jin shuddered. Magic weapons, whether they were book-shaped or made of other materials, must be of top quality. Otherwise, the magic weapons would not use the least materials but be the most expensive among all weapon types.

Before, when he was searching for immortals in Ruojin, he saw with his own eyes Yan Fei taking the Sun and Moon in the box and smashing a large stone in the wild, saying that there were clues to a case on the stone.

"Hey, there really are zombies. Wait, zombies! Wow, Ruojin, please protect me."

Maybe it was because Xingqiu hit him on the head and injured him. The originally not very smart Paimeng's reaction was even slower. When Mona hid behind Ruojin, Paimeng finally realized what Xingqiu said just now that zombies appeared in the Hall of Rebirth, so he quickly hid behind Ruojin. While flying, Paimeng, whose brain was not working very well, said something in a daze.

"Why are there zombies in the Hall of Rebirth? Did Hu Tao bury Qi Qi, and Qi Qi's elders come out to settle accounts with Hu Tao?"
