After returning from my cultivation journey, I built a farm through fortune telling.

Chapter 64 So tempted that even I wanted to eat it.

Bai Wei and Bai Chen stood in their courtyard, watching Master Qingxu and his disciples, along with Bai Lu, disappear into the ghostly realm, their feelings a mix of emotions.

But they knew this was a problem beyond their capabilities as small-time workers; their priority now was ensuring the safety of their families.

Bai Chen took a deep breath and said to Bai Wei, "Let's go, you go find Grandpa, I'll go find Uncle—Ahhh!!! Mom and Dad! Why are you walking so quietly?!"

"What are you yelling for! You scared me!"

Qin Xiu and Bai Jiang were standing behind them, watching them from behind: "When did you get back? I thought a thief had broken into the house! Where's your sister?"

Bai Chen covered his chest with both hands, suppressing his heart which was pounding in his chest. He looked at Bai Jiang and Qin Xiu's expressions, which were not unusual, so they probably hadn't seen his sister and Daoist Qingxu.

After calming himself down, Bai Chen said, "My sister has some things to do and won't be back for a few days—it's already nine o'clock, where are you all going so late instead of sleeping?"

"Let's go play cards at the convenience store!"

Qin Xiu said, "We haven't planted any vegetables these past few days, and we've finally got a few days of peace. Now that you're all back, let's go pick some wild vegetables tomorrow. They've been growing for two days, so there should be quite a few!"

"Oh? Well—the shop hasn't had any orders these days, so we don't need to pick wild vegetables!"

Bai Chen hurriedly said, "It's so late, don't go out to play cards. I'll go and call my uncle and the others over so we can play at home! You all go back and don't come out!"

He then forcefully pushed the two people into the small building, disregarding their wishes. He told Bai Wei to watch over them while he went to his uncle to call for help. Fortunately, Bai Qing was home, so they went up together.

Grandpa and Grandma Bai went to bed early, and Bai Chen knocked on the door for quite a while before waking them up. When they learned that he was being taken to play cards, Grandpa Bai bent his index and middle fingers and tapped them. What a brat! Does he think this old man doesn't have long enough to live?!

"Grandpa!" Bai Chen grabbed his grandfather's hand after being hit twice. "Mom, Dad, Uncle, and Aunt are still waiting for you!"

"Then go find your grandpa to play. Why are you asking an old lady like me? Grandma can't even recognize all the cards, so I'm not going."

Grandma Bai turned and went back after saying that.

Elderly people need less sleep and go to bed early. With their grandson disturbing them like this, they don't know if they'll be able to sleep at all tonight!

Bai Chen had to use all his persuasion and coaxing to finally bring the person back home.

After escorting the person upstairs, he immediately climbed down from the windowsill and activated the protective array. Only then did his heart truly settle down.

As for the rest of the village...

If something really happens, he will naturally lend a hand, provided he ensures his own safety.

But it's best if nothing happens.

Bai Chen prayed desperately in his heart.

Looking at the deep night, I sighed inwardly and turned to go upstairs. When I saw the closed door, I remembered that I had jumped down.

He looked up at the second floor and realized that he couldn't fly...

Finally, Bai Chen climbed up the drainpipe.

Bai Jiang felt that the two kids were acting strangely tonight. One minute they were asking if they were wearing the jade pendant their sister had given them, the next they were fiddling with tree branches, and then they would stand on the balcony for a while. The most outrageous thing was that they played cards until midnight and wouldn't let Bai He and the others go home, saying that it was too late and it wasn't safe to walk at night, and they were afraid of snakes!
Fortunately, there are many rooms in the house, and after tidying up, we can all move in.

But to my surprise, I ended up staying for three days.

at the same time.

In an old forest in Yangcheng, a young Taoist priest was huddled under the roots of a large tree. His face was pale, his lips were purple, and his whole body was trembling.

Most horrifyingly, there were two deep teeth marks on his neck, bleeding profusely. He couldn't help but raise his hand to touch them, only to find that he couldn't feel his neck anymore. What saddened him most was that, looking at the blood on his hand, only one thought occupied his mind—

smell good!
He couldn't help but move closer...

Just as he was about to stick out his tongue to lick it, he slapped himself, which brought him back to his senses.

He looked at his hands, where the hair on the exposed skin was slowly growing and turning black, making him look like a hairy Westerner.

"Hehe..." The young Taoist chuckled twice: "I always thought I was a natural talent, so I didn't work hard to cultivate. Now look what I've done! Master, why aren't you here yet... I'm so hungry I want to eat myself."

Even if he commits suicide now, he cannot stop the zombie transformation, because even if he dies, he will become a zombie. Only by waiting until he has fully transformed into a zombie and then cutting off his head or digging out his brain can he be truly killed.

The thought that she, so young and beautiful, would not only become a disgusting and ugly zombie, but would also be beheaded and gouged out after death, filled her with sorrow.

"Master!"

The young Taoist priest shouted with all his might into the darkness, but the shout only produced a faint echo in the empty forest, which startled the egret.

—Anyone who comes to the deep mountains and forests in the middle of the night and is startled by a loud scream will be terrified.

However, when she saw the surrounding mountains and forests clearly, her heart skipped a beat. The reason was simple: the moon had risen sometime earlier.

Under the clear moonlight, the old forest appeared particularly eerie, with a faint mist permeating the surroundings, making it impossible to see the direction or where Lao Er was!

"Second brother! Second brother, where are you?"

Master Qingxu called out anxiously.

"Master, I'm here..."

The young Taoist priest's voice came from behind a large tree: "You've finally arrived..."

Master Qingxu and Bailu rushed over immediately. They saw the young Taoist huddled under the tree roots, and his body was beginning to change.

To be precise, the moment he was bathed in moonlight, "Old Two's" body began to change rapidly. Originally, only his hair grew longer, but after absorbing the moonlight, his nails began to grow longer, and his teeth began to become sharp and itchy.

It's so itchy, I really want to bite into something!
When he didn't see anyone, he felt he could still endure it, but the moment he saw his master, he couldn't hold back at all.

He's going to gnaw on his master!
So he instinctively lunged forward, but Master Qingxu reached out and grabbed his neck. No matter how much he struggled, it was to no avail, and he even regained some of his senses.

Those who cultivate the Dao find it harder to transform corpse poison than ordinary people, and it takes them longer to fight against it. However, once they successfully transform it, their level may even surpass that of the original body! "Second brother!"

Master Qingxu's voice carried a trace of sorrow. Under the cold moonlight, he clearly saw the current appearance of his second son, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

"Second brother..." Master Songfeng also looked sad. If his second junior brother, who valued his appearance so much, knew that he looked like this, how heartbroken he would be!
"Master... Eldest brother... I really don't like being called second brother!"

You could tell the young Taoist priest resented the name. Even at this point, his speech was slurred, yet he still had the audacity to argue his point.

Taking advantage of the fact that "Second Brother" was stuck by his master, Bailu quickly stepped forward to check his transformation progress. She breathed a sigh of relief and said to Master Qingxu, "Fortunately, he is still in the early stage of transformation and there is still hope."

"really?!"

Master Qingxu was overjoyed: "How do I do it?"

Even the "second son" forgot to struggle. Did he hear that right? Is there still hope for him?

Who is this pretty young lady?
Can she save him?

I've never heard of someone being bitten by a zombie and turning into a zombie being able to be saved!

While searching for the necessary items in the storage talisman, Bailu said to Daoist Qingxu, "Just keep your second son in check. I need to use my blood to draw the talisman, and he will go berserk if he smells blood in his current state."

Given the near-zombie's sensitivity to the smell of blood, even if Bai Lu ran several miles away, he could still smell it. So, he simply stopped bothering and let Master Qingxu and Master Songfeng suppress the person.

Young Taoist priest: "..."

What the hell is "second brother"? I'm not called "second brother"! How could I let a pretty girl call me "second brother"?! What about his reputation?!

"it is good!"

Upon hearing that "Second Brother" could still be saved, Master Qingxu and Master Songfeng were so excited that they immediately tied him up with the corpse-binding rope, then pressed him to the ground face down. Just as Master Qingxu was about to sit on him and crush him, Master Songfeng shouted, "Master, wait a moment!"

Master Qingxu was startled: "What's wrong?!"

Master Songfeng pulled out his phone, flipped "Old Two" over, and snapped a series of photos. The flash almost blinded "Old Two," but he still stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "You, you, you, you have no martial ethics!"

He looks so ugly now!
"Hehe...Let's take a picture to remember this!"

Master Songfeng laughed, then flipped him back without any mercy and sat down on him. Master Qingxu was speechless for a moment, then followed closely behind, calling out to Bailu, "Little Lulu, everything is ready, you can begin!"

The "second brother" was so crushed by the nearly 300-pound piece of meat that his eyes almost popped out, but he endured it for the sake of his life!
The egret was deeply moved by their extraordinary master-disciple and fellow disciple relationship, and then painfully pricked its own finger, dripping the blood into the inkstone.

A sweet aroma, incomprehensible to ordinary people, rushed into the "second brother's" nostrils. Just as Bailu had said, he struggled violently, making strange "hoho" sounds. However, with the rope binding his body and two large mountains on his back, he was unable to move at all.

Bai Lu didn't dare to delay at all. He mixed the blood with cinnabar and started drawing talismans. He drew three in a row, and then took the brush, which was covered with cinnabar and blood, and approached "the second brother".

Who could stand this?!
Who wouldn't want to take a bite of meat that's practically offered to them?

The young Taoist priest immediately began to struggle violently, desperately trying to throw the person off his back, but his master quickly pressed his face down. The next second, he felt a sharp pain in his neck and couldn't help but roar. The once quiet mountain forest was filled with birds.

Bai Lu drew a talisman on the spot where "Lao Er" was bitten on the neck. Then, Master Qingxu and the other person saw wisps of black smoke continuously emerging from the two small holes in Lao Er's neck. After a while, the black smoke actually faded!

He then realized that this method really worked!
White Egret, how many more surprises does she hold that he doesn't know about!

What a treasure they've unearthed in Jiangxi Province!
After drawing the talisman on his neck, Bailu then placed three talismans on the second son's forehead, the soles of his feet, and near the blood hole in his neck. The second son's screams became even more shrill, as if he were about to be burned to death.

The struggle was so great that even Master Qingxu and Master Songfeng almost couldn't subdue it.

After an unknown amount of time, the black smoke from the blood hole on his neck stopped. Although the hole had not healed, the blackened flesh had turned pink again. The black hair on his body had also disappeared, and his ten fingers were bald because all his long, sharp nails had fallen off. His sharp, elongated canine teeth had also fallen off, leaving only two holes. It was unclear whether he would be able to speak without a lisp.

At this moment, the second brother also regained his senses, and collapsed to the ground, looking utterly hopeless.

He could feel himself come back to life, but he also felt like he was already dead.

"Untie him," Bailu said. "There's only one last step left before all the corpse poison can be removed."

Master Qingxu quickly did as instructed.

Bai Lu sat cross-legged in front of the second brother, gathered pure wood spiritual energy in her palm, and struck the second brother with the wood spiritual energy, which enveloped the second brother's entire body.

The Wood Spirit Root is a very special spirit root. It can not only promote the growth of plants and raise animals, and enhance the affinity of animals, but also has a strong purification ability.

She can clear the corpse poison from the human body, but her cultivation level is still too low. If she only uses spiritual energy to force out the poison, she might not be able to purify the person even if she is completely drained. Therefore, she can only rely on talismans and her essence blood.

Thankfully, the person was rescued.

"How are you feeling?" Egret asked.

The second brother touched his entire body and found that he could grab handfuls of fur. The black fur that used to be more firmly attached than if it were glued with superglue was now worse than hair loss. He even poked the two holes on his neck with his fingers and found that they had become smooth and flat, but his fingers felt a little different. He looked down and found that he had no fingernails at all. He quickly took off his shoes to check. His toenails were still there, but they were a little curled. So, he couldn't resist picking at them, and lo and behold, they came off.

It’s okay, it’s okay!

Compared to becoming a zombie, he was quite satisfied with his current self, so his smile widened. Just as he was about to answer the pretty girl's question, he noticed that his wicked senior brother was holding up his phone in his face again, and his expression was so malicious.

He touched his face, and after wiping away the hair, it was still very smooth.

"Senior brother, what else is there to film? I know I'm incredibly handsome!"

With no hair on his face, the second son became smug again.

Master Songfeng didn't speak; he simply pointed to his canine tooth. The second brother's eyes widened suddenly, and he reached out to touch it, crying out, "Waaah, where's my tooth! My tooth!"

Just as the second Taoist priest was crying and sobbing, a rustling sound suddenly came from the forest. The sound was like a person walking, no, it was like a person jumping!

The egret suddenly had a bad feeling, and the next second, she saw a tall, dark shadow appear in the east.
