Under One Person: The Millennium Plan Exposed by Feng Baobao.

Chapter 175: Millennium Zombie Xuankui, a natural born zombie, a different species from humans
After arriving in Hong Kong, I first sought out Pei Nantian. The Tiandihui had been disbanded and reorganized into the Hongmen. Pei Nantian told me that he had consulted a feng shui master and that Hong Kong was the end of a dragon vein and would have a 150-year heyday. Establishing their headquarters here would allow them to draw upon Hong Kong's spiritual energy to help the Hongmen achieve greater development.

150 years of heyday?
Zhang Chulan was a little surprised. It was the first time he heard of this.

"Master, is this really the case?"

The old Taoist priest closed his eyes and recalled for a moment before speaking:
"I did hear this when I attended the International Exchange Conference for Inhumans before."

"Hong Kong can be said to be a place of great fortune, and it is definitely unmatched by any other place."

"It's just that the 150 years are a little off. The actual number should be 147."

Zhang Chulan suddenly understood after hearing this.

"By the way, Master, I remember that many people from our area moved to Hong Kong. Is it because of this reason?"

The old Taoist priest nodded after hearing this.

"Well, you could say that."

"But it's better not to discuss this kind of thing."

After saying this, the old Taoist priest shut his mouth, while Zhang Chulan looked confused.

Don’t discuss it. Is there any taboo?

Xu San suddenly spoke at this time.

"Old Heavenly Master, there's something I want to tell you. Didn't the Hongmen once have traces of your father's activities?"

"So I'm thinking, should the company go to the Hongmen specifically and ask them if they have any news about your father?"

The old Taoist priest was a little moved after hearing this.

"Well, that's fine too."

Zhang Chulan was a little excited when he heard the old Taoist agreed.

"If that's the case, then we'll go over there after we finish our work here."

Gao Lian said at this time:

"The third brother has already explained this mission to me. How can we ask for help from your North China region when we are dealing with the affairs of our Northeast region?"

"So you don't have to come here for this matter, just leave it to us."

Hearing Gao Lian say this, Zhang Chulan felt a little disappointed.

"Isn't this trip to the Northeast a waste?"

Xu San did not reject Gao Lian's proposal at this time.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Hearing that Zhang Chulan was a little disappointed, Xu San smiled.

"Won't we have time to go visit Lu Linglong Zhijinhua next?"

"See what the situation is with the place they found."

"Have the dinosaur eggs hatched?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chulan nodded immediately.

"That's right, this kind of thing really needs to be checked out."

"Otherwise, if you miss this opportunity, I don't know how long you'll have to wait for the next chance to come here."

After Xu San finished speaking, he looked at Feng Baobao.

"Keep reading, baby."

"it is good!"

Feng Baobao nodded and continued reading from her notes.

Pei Nantian was very happy to learn that I wanted to stay in Hong Kong for a while. He had acquired a lot of properties in Hong Kong and wanted to give me a mansion in a nearby city to live in.

I declined his offer because I wanted to find a quiet place, preferably a small town with not too many people.

Pei Nantian recommended Gantian Town to me. Though small, this town has everything it needs. The people are simple and honest, and there haven't been any murders in over a decade. This was incredible for the Republican era.

[So, accompanied by Pei Nantian, I bought a house in Gantian Town and settled down here.]

After settling down here, I've definitely heard fewer of those random thoughts I usually hear.

I have to say that my time in Gantian Town has given me a long-lost sense of comfort.

[What surprised me was that Mao Xiaofang had come to Gantian Town in pursuit of the thousand-year-old zombie King Xuankui. Rumors were circulating in Gantian Town about livestock being drained of their blood and dying.]

The residents of Gantian Town were completely helpless and could only ask Taoist priests from outside to come to Gantian Town to subdue the demons.

"I didn't want my peaceful life to be disrupted, and since no one had died here, I didn't intervene."

[Because I know that if I take action on this matter, there will be more trouble in the future.]

After hearing what Feng Baobao said, everyone understood.

indeed.

I originally came here to avoid the noise. If I help now, I will have to keep helping in the future. This will not help my own safety at all.

Feng Baobao's voice continued.

...[A few days later, a female Taoist priest named Zhong Jun arrived with several disciples. She performed a ritual, claiming that the livestock had been drained of their life force by a ghost, and that her ritual could drive the ghost away.]

[It must be said that the villagers of Gantian Town were indeed naive, readily paying the money to allow this Zhong Jun to open the altar.]

[However, during the opening ceremony, Mao Xiaofang arrived and disrupted Zhong Jun's plan. I also saw the thousand-year-old zombie king Xuankui following him in the crowd.]

[This Xuankui is different from the Qingting Qingyao I saw before. It is a different creature. Its form is exactly the same as that of a human before it turns into a zombie.]

[Or perhaps it's another kind of life. It could be said that Xuan Kui is not dead; he is a natural-born zombie, not a transformed human corpse.]

Everyone was shocked to hear that such a thing had happened.

Xia Liuqing muttered to himself at this time.

"I didn't expect that the legend the Liu family told me at that time was actually true."

After hearing Xia Liuqing's words, Zhang Chulan hurriedly asked.

"Mr. Xia, what's the legend, what's the truth?"

"Is this Liu family the family that joined your Quanxing Liu Yanyan before?"

Hearing this, Xia Liuqing nodded.

"Yes, it's Liu Yanyan's family. However, the Liu family back then was much more powerful than it is now."

"At the beginning, my master and his troupe were performing in a place in western Hunan. Because I was very interested in the corpse-driving method in western Hunan, I did not go to the next performance with my master after the performance."

"I went to the Liu family and wanted to see their corpse-driving with my own eyes."

"I have to say that the Liu family truly lives up to their reputation as a millennium-old corpse-driving family. Some of the zombies they control are even invulnerable to weapons."

"But just as I was praising the Liu family's corpse-driving technique, the Liu family head told me a legend, a legend about zombies."

After hearing Xia Liuqing say this, Zhang Chu hurriedly asked.

"Mr. Xia, is this related to Xuan Kui?"

Xia Liuqing shook his head.

"It's true, but at the time I just thought it was a legend."

"That is, there are many different kinds of zombies in this world. One type is a zombie that evolved from the corpses of living people. Generally speaking, their combat power is low. Only through special secret rituals can this kind of living corpse become powerful. The strongest ones are almost as powerful as warriors who have practiced horizontal training kung fu."

"There's another kind of zombie that the Liu family patriarch once heard from his elders. They're born zombies, and they're two completely different species from humans."

“It’s almost equivalent to an intelligent species other than humans.”

"But these zombies are rare. At that time, the head of the Liu family dreamed of finding one as a collection."

"It's just a pity that the strongest zombie in my collection is called the Xishuangban Bronze Armored Zombie, and even I can't defeat it."

When they heard about this legend, everyone exclaimed that it was unbelievable.

It turns out that such a thing once existed in the world.

Zhang Chulan asked at this time.

"Can this kind of zombie die? Or is it able to reproduce?"

Xia Liuqing shook his head.

"Maybe they'll die. As for fertility, I'm not sure. Maybe they have it, maybe not. Just treat it as a joke."

Seeing that Xia Liuqing refused to elaborate, Zhang Chulan stopped asking and looked at Feng Baobao.

"Sister Baoer, please continue reading."

Seeing this, Feng Baobao nodded and continued reading.

……

[After Xuan Kui saw me, he seemed to sense something and immediately fled from the crowd.]

I saw this and chased after it. This was the first time I'd seen such a strange zombie. I had no idea what kind of zombie it was.

After arriving at a desolate area, Xuan Kui told me that he had been forced to come to Hong Kong. Mao Xiaofang's Taoist magic was too restraining for him, so he had no choice but to flee all the way here.

I'm not interested in how he got here, but rather in the origins of his story.

Seeing that I was asking about his methods, Xuan Kui didn't hide anything and told me that he was an ordinary soldier in Yue Fei's army during the Song Dynasty. After being bitten by a strange creature, he gained the ability of immortality.

From then on, he became extremely powerful, but could no longer eat any human food. He could only rely on blood, of which human blood was the sweetest and most beneficial.

[However, he has never sucked human blood, because he knows that he was once a human. In his opinion, if he chooses to suck human blood, he will be no different from an animal.]

Xuan Kui also told me that he could sense many of his kind, but they all emitted a foul odor, clearly the result of feeding on human blood. Therefore, he never actively sought out any humans.

Xuankui's experience makes me curious. I even want to use the Nine-Headed Insect's blood to go to the Song Dynasty to see what happened and what that monster is.

[But the Nine-Headed Insect's blood is running low, so it doesn't support me traveling back in time.]

I asked Xuankui what his plans were, and he told me that he planned to continue escaping, or to escape to a deserted island to spend the rest of his time.

I have deep sympathy for Xuan Kui. In my opinion, he is a pitiful person who cannot control his own destiny.

So I told Xuan Kui to stay by my side from now on. If Mao Xiaofang wants to come find him again, just tell him to come find me. I will protect him!
