Chapter 101: Shocked Corpse
Dao Shu pulled Lao Wu over and whispered, "Stop making a fuss. The corpse over there has already started to transform into a zombie."

Lao Wu's heart skipped a beat, and his arrogant face froze. He had seen a lot of Uncle Lin's zombie movies...

"Come on, Lao Wu, let's go cook." The mercenary Xiao Jia heard it and hurriedly pulled Lao Wu back.

Gu Nanxing discovered this when the corpse driver came over. The dead bodies had heavy Yin energy, and the bodies had been exposed to rain, so the moisture collided with the Yin energy in the bodies. The two factors alternately frightened the foolish souls, and the foolish souls slowly took control of the bodies.

The old master shook his raincoat casually twice, handed it to his apprentice, and couldn't wait to go see the master.

They were wearing bamboo hats, but the heavy rain was no protection, and now they were completely soaked. The old master felt his long nails on his sleeves and exclaimed, "Oh no! Xiaowu, quickly go to the cave and get some autumn branches."

"Hey~" Xiaowu anxiously threw down his raincoat and ran into the cave skillfully.

Xi Zhifan and everyone else were stunned. What happened?

Daoqing and Daoshu went over to help, took out a stack of talismans, and stuck them one by one on the forehead covered by the corpse.

Xi Zhifan asked in a low voice, "Master, are they zombies?"

Zombie movies released in Hong Kong are very popular, and he has watched a few episodes.

Gu Nanxing nodded, "Soon."

Oh my god~ Xi Zhifan swallowed his saliva in fear and still slept next to Daoqing at night. He was so scared!

The old master clasped his fists in gratitude towards the two men and said, "Thank you two masters for the talismans. It's raining heavily today and we are not well prepared. If we hadn't met you, this group of masters would have been in great trouble."

Daoqing and Daoshu returned the greeting, pointing their swords at their chests. "Master, you are so kind. You brought them back to their roots. I admire you."

The corpse drivers are not orthodox Taoists, and they have only learned the basic techniques of Maoshan's unconventional schools, but their professionalism is worthy of admiration.

Gu Nanxing stepped forward and handed over two high-level life-saving jade tokens. "Master, the rain is too heavy. We may have to stay here for one night. Sorry to bother you."

Then she whispered that the jade token could ensure safety and avoid disasters.

Money can move people's hearts, but she can't say it out loud.

The crystal clear white jade feels warm in the hand, and the Taoist charm in the jade is natural and it is not an ordinary item.

The old master was a little reluctant to return it, "Girl, the cave is ownerless. If you don't mind, you can live here. There's no need to give such a valuable gift."

Gu Nanxing refused, "Those corpses are not ordinary. I will feel at ease only if the master accepts them."

The old master was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes as he held the jade plaque. He had lived in the open air for so many years, and outsiders and his children did not understand his profession. There was only endless abuse and condemnation...

The young apprentice is dull, can't learn anything, and doesn't talk much.

Unexpectedly, he met a living Bodhisattva today. The old master wiped away his tears, hung one of the jade pieces around his neck, clasped his hands together and said thank you, "Thank you, young lady."

Gu Nanxing smiled and waved his hand, "You're welcome."

Xiaowu came out with autumn leaves in his arms, skillfully placing them in piles in front of the corpse, and then he took out a lighter from the cave in the stone wall to light the branches.

A strange scene occurred, and thick smoke rushed towards the corpse!
The old master was not surprised, but the other mercenaries who were sitting on the rocks to rest, the northerners, were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths. They thought they were going to be choked by the smoke.

"How magical~" Xi Zhifan timidly pulled Lao Xu over to watch the fun.

The old master called Xiaowu over and personally hung the jade pendant around his neck, instructing him, "Don't take it off even when you bathe."

Xiaowu felt warm in his chest and his whole body was no longer cold.

"Thank you, Master." Xiao Wu scratched his head embarrassedly.

The old master pulled him by the shoulders and turned him to face the little girl. "This girl gave me the jade token. Thank her."

"By the way, I don't know your name yet." Xiao Wu happily clasped his fists towards the little girl, "Thank you very much, young lady."

Gu Nanxing nodded with amusement, "You're welcome, my last name is Gu, Gu Nanxing."

"My name is Xi Zhifan."

Xi Zhifan interrupted and said, "The young master is close to them, and she is not afraid, so what is he afraid of?"
"Hahaha..." The old master laughed heartily.

This guy is interesting!

The autumn branches burned out, the clothes on the corpse were dried, and the black nails in the sleeves were shorter.

The sky gradually darkened, and a fire was lit in the spacious cave. The firewood was prepared by the two corpse drivers on weekdays, and everyone was eating a delicious meal.

Old Xu personally served them the meal, which was cooked with other people's firewood, and left two bottles of mineral water and a bag of compressed biscuits.

Xiaowu had never eaten such delicious food before, so he forgot to say thank you and just buried his head in eating.

The old chef thanked us politely before starting to eat.

After dinner, everyone started to set up tents. Because there was a dead body outside, they slept together in groups of three or five.

For fear of scaring everyone, the master and Xiaowu hurriedly carried the body to the deep part of the cave.

Inside the cave, they had built a makeshift cabin against the wall. Since it was raining tonight and they couldn't leave, they had no choice but to stay there for the night. They didn't usually stay here, but only when a host came along would they bring their people here for a temporary stay until they had six of them and would then head back home.

Gu Nanxing was alone in a tent. The moment he entered, he had already returned to the bracelet space. He took a comfortable hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and began to meditate and practice.

"what……"

"Don't come here!"

We were woken up by a scream in the middle of the night, but no one dared to go out of the tent. It was obvious what was going on outside.

Old Xu came out with a few mercenaries, and the zombies outside were jumping around. Old Six of the Northern Faction was so scared that he hid behind a rock and peed his pants!

"Master Daoqing, thank you for your help." Old Xu was extremely grateful that he could live in the same tent with the three masters.

Daoqing nodded, "Old Xu, if you're scared, go into the tent."

Old Xu turned around and left without saying a word. Oh my god... he saw a zombie.

Still alive!

He should be thankful that he encountered a zombie that had never been exposed to moonlight, otherwise all the people in the cave would be finished.

Daoqing took out the soul-calming bell and shook it gently, and all the zombies turned around and faced him.

The soul-calming bell rang three times, and all the zombies gathered together. Daoqing led them into the cave where they had been originally.

Seeing that the host family had calmed down, the master finally pulled his apprentice out of the cabin with trembling legs and thanked him, "Thank you very much, Taoist priest. I have never had a corpse metamorphosis in my life. If it weren't for you today, Xiaowu and I would have spent three to five days looking for them."

When the zombies came down the mountain to the village, no one knew what kind of trouble they would cause. Of course, this is a story for later, and the old master didn't dare to mention it.

Daoqing generously gave him the Soul-Calming Bell, "I understand. Unexpected events happen, and not everyone can predict them. I'm leaving this to you, just in case."

The old master thanked me for accepting it. It was a great honor to be given a magical instrument by an orthodox Taoist priest.

He learned the skill of driving corpses from the village master Tu. His former master left him an ordinary Qingxin Bell before he left. It can control ghosts, but it is impossible to drive zombies.

Gu Nanxing was cultivating in the space and didn't hear any movement outside. It was only after dawn that she learned about what happened last night. She was stunned. If she had known earlier, she would have cultivated in the tent outside. What does a real zombie look like...
