Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 471 Are there zombies in this world?
Can those graduating students handle it?
It should be possible.

Besides, if we can't handle it, we can call in reinforcements.

It's not wrong to say it's for their postgraduate entrance exams.

Those people had mostly worked in hilly and rural areas before, and had never been exposed to any famous mountains or rivers.

Xu Yue set up formations for the four famous Taoist mountains.

There are differences, but not significant ones.

If they know how to be flexible, then there's no problem.

Xu Yue didn't want the graduates to just copy without adapting to local conditions.

If that's the case, then its effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

The graduating students quickly formed teams, assigned goals, and then set off.

"Is nothing going to happen?"

Xue Jing couldn't help but say something.

Previously, the trainees would practice near the academy, but now they have to travel so far.

Xue Jing felt the same way he did when his daughter went on a long trip.

“What could possibly happen?” Xu Yue said. “They’re not children, nor are they helpless.”

“They’ve come into contact with the martial arts world,” Xue Jing said. “I don’t know what the martial arts world is like, but whether it’s in novels or movies, it’s always full of danger.”

Those who cultivate themselves are mostly people from the martial arts world.

Xue Jing was not a member of the martial arts world, but he had heard quite a bit about it.

Those students may not have had contact with these people while they were in school, but they will inevitably have contact with them once they leave school.

This is the same as other university students stepping out of the ivory tower and into society.

It's just that graduates of agricultural technology colleges are exposed to more dangerous situations.

"As long as they don't do anything reckless, the reputation of Peach Blossom Village can still protect them."

Xu Yue said with a smile.

Xue Jing didn't know Xu Yue's reputation in the martial arts world. If he did, he wouldn't have this worry.

Let alone the domestic martial arts world, even foreign cultivation forces would probably not easily provoke them.

The deterrent effect of Xu Yue's previous blitz at the small red dot was unimaginable.

"Besides, those people are practically part of the Special Administration Bureau," Xu Yue continued. "People in the underworld, whether domestic or foreign, shouldn't provoke them. The possibility of recruiting them is quite high."

Recruit?

Do they still dare?
Xue Jing knew that the previous two trainees had been recruited by a special national agency, and what happened to them?
Xu Yue ran over and captured the man, and it's said that he even blew up one of their bases, causing widespread chaos and destruction.

There are even more outrageous rumors that Xu Yue, because of the desert farm incident, went to Little Red Dot's place and slaughtered everyone there, leaving no one alive.

He burned down that damned shrine.

When Xu Yue appeared in person, Xue Jing was half-believing and half-doubting about the matter, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

Regardless of whether the rumors are true or false, Xu Yue must be infamous in the martial arts world, both at home and abroad.

This can indeed protect the graduating students.

Have the trainees set up a formation?
Do those Taoist sects have any objections?

After all, Xu Yue personally arranged the formations of the four famous mountains, including Qingcheng Mountain.

Is there? No.

As long as the formation is set up properly, there will be no problem at all.

Moreover, these people are about to graduate, so they can set up their own formations.

As long as the effect is the same, what does it matter who sets up the formation?

Of course, the most important thing is that they all understand that it's no use having opinions.

If the formation isn't set up properly, won't those students call for reinforcements?
If there's any problem with the formation, they can come knocking on our door.

This should also have after-sales service.

Was it successful?
There really was a problem.

"there is a problem?"

Zhang Ruoxi looked at Xu Yue and asked.

“There’s definitely a problem at Maoshan,” Xu Yue said. “Liu Chengji happened to be there and went to check it out; the problem is quite serious. I need to go and take a look.”

"They didn't say what the problem was?" Zhang Ruoxi said. "Who were the people who went to Maoshan?"

“Meng Hao, Li Yan, Li Zihan, and a student named Jia Zhi,” Xu Yue said. “They set up the formation without any problems, but after the formation was set up, it triggered a chain reaction. There is a formation on Maoshan Mountain.”

“In the past, it would be normal for such famous Taoist sects to have formations in their mountain gates,” Zhang Ruoxi said. “But how could they still exist now? After all, you didn’t encounter this problem when you set up formations for the four famous mountains of Qingcheng Mountain.”

"Who knows?" Xu Yue shook his head and said, "It's probably related to the location where they set up the formation. We'll have to go to the site to find out. Liu Chengji said that the activated formation wasn't a feng shui formation."

Not a feng shui formation?

That would be interesting.

The formations that still exist in the cultivation world today are basically feng shui formations.

Of course, apart from the spirit arrays on the farm.

"Are the fields in Maoshan okay?" Zhang Ruoxi said. "Then Meng Hao and the others don't count as failing their graduation test?"

"Let's go take a look first," Xu Yue said with a smile. "Are you worried they won't graduate? Of the four of them, only Jia Zhi is the oldest."

Jia Zhi was from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences; he was already in his twenties when he enrolled.

Meng Hao and Li Yan are college transfer students, and they are only twenty years old now.

Li Zihan is another story altogether. She barely attended high school before going straight to the Agricultural Science and Technology College, and is now just a teenager.

However, despite being the youngest, he possesses the highest cultivation level.

Their combat strength goes without saying.

Her martial arts skills are even higher.

None of the trainees could beat her.

Xu Yue did not linger and went directly to Maoshan by plane.

Lin Zhenglai, director of the Suzhou Special Administration Bureau, picked him up at the airport.

Upon receiving the message, he went straight to Maoshan.

"Very serious?"

Xu Yue couldn't help but ask.

They even used helicopters.

“The yin energy is rolling in, and the evil aura is spreading.” Lin Zheng said, “The spirit array has taken shape and seems to have activated the zombie cave in Maoshan, but the seal of the zombie cave has not been activated.”

"Not activated?" Xu Yue said. "It's definitely not activated, not that the seal on the zombie cave has been destroyed."

“That’s possible,” Lin Zheng said. “Master Yang Hua speculated that the spirit array didn’t activate the formation in the zombie cave, but rather activated some kind of entity sealed inside the cave.”

"Zombies?"

Xu Yue was somewhat astonished. Could there really be zombies?

However, Xu Yue finally understood.

The formation set up by Meng Hao and his group did not activate any spiritual array, but instead awakened some kind of being.

Okay, this is just speculation.

Are there zombies in this world?
Xu Yue didn't know.

However, he believes it existed in the past, but now it should be questioned.

After all, spiritual energy is scarce and insufficient to give birth to something like a zombie.

However, it's hard to say whether those previously invincible zombies perished due to the scarcity of spiritual energy.

"I don't know about that," Lin Zheng said. "I've never seen it, and neither has Daoist Yang Hua."

"Oh?"

Xu Yue was somewhat surprised.

Master Yang Hua is the former head of Maoshan Sect. He is now over ninety years old and entered the Taoist path during the Republic of China era.

In movies and novels, the time when zombies appear most frequently can be inferred by looking at the clothes they wear.

"Master Yang Hua has never seen a zombie, but he has seen things like corpses coming back to life. However, he said that those don't count as zombies."

Lin Zheng seemed to notice Xu Yue's confusion and offered an explanation.

“What about the Special Administration Bureau?” Xu Yue asked. “You must have encountered them over the decades, right?” Lin Zheng shook his head.

"Perhaps I don't know."

Lin Zheng then added a sentence, clearly indicating some uncertainty.

Just because he hasn't had contact with it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Not everything is public knowledge within the Special Administration Bureau.

He's only been promoted a few years ago, how could he possibly know what's happened in the Special Administration Bureau over the past few decades?

"The Special Administration Bureau encounters very few paranormal events. In all the years I've been with the Special Administration Bureau, I've only encountered a few, and every time the investigation results show that it's the work of a cultivator."

Lin Zheng clearly noticed Xu Yue's interest in this, so he chatted with him for a few more minutes.

He had only met Xu Yue a few times, but he still owed Xu Yue a debt of gratitude.

The Special Administration Bureau and others, especially those who have entered the third realm, all owe Xu Yue a favor.

Leaving aside the resources he provided to the Special Administration Bureau, the storage artifacts and millstone artifacts he crafted for them alone brought them unimaginable help.

And that protective jade talisman, although it didn't save Lin Zheng's life, it saved many of his colleagues.

Xu Yue and his group did not take a helicopter directly up the mountain.

That would be somewhat disrespectful.

Besides, this matter isn't that urgent.

It doesn't actually take much time to go up the mountain.

Xu Yue met Meng Hao and his group at the foot of the mountain.

"How can you compare it to a frostbitten eggplant?" Xu Yue said with a smile. "Whether it was your fault or not, I can only determine that after I have seen it."

Li Zihan is fine; she's not in a rush to graduate.

It doesn't matter whether you graduate or not.

Her family all lived in Taoyuan Village, and the whole family worked for Xu Yue.

She doesn't lack money and has no intention of making money early.

She wasn't too discouraged by failing the postgraduate entrance exam.

But the other three were different.

Meng Hao, in particular, couldn't hide his nervousness and apprehension.

"If it wasn't our fault, does that mean we can graduate?"

Meng Hao looked up at Xu Yue, his eyes full of anticipation.

"So eager to graduate?" Xu Yue said. "Let's go take a look first."

As Xu Yue spoke, he looked up at the mountain.

There was indeed a malevolent aura emanating from the mountain, and it even carried a hint of blood.

Liu Chengji did not speak.

He checked it, and the spirit array was fine.

It must be that a spirit array was formed, and spiritual energy activated some kind of array.

This was his guess, and he also informed Xu Yue.

However, judging from Xu Yue's expression, he was somewhat uncertain again.

The fields to be cultivated in Maoshan are located both at the foot of the mountain and on the mountain itself.

There are some fields and land at the foot of the mountain, and the various formations set up are all perfect and well-designed.

"Let's go up the mountain and take a look," Xu Yue said. "This place is very well arranged."

Before Xu Yue and his group even reached the top of the mountain, Maoshan Sect Leader Xu Yuanzhi and former leader Yang Hua had already come down to greet him.

The specifications are very high.

Xu Yue's efforts were worthwhile.

After all, Xu Yue has resources at his disposal, and he's here to help them resolve their problems.

Master Yang Hua has four realms, while Master Xu Yuanzhi only has the peak of the third realm.

However, there should be hope for the four borders.

After exchanging pleasantries, they headed straight up the mountain.

There are no fields on the mountain, only land.

Instead of crops, medicinal herbs were planted in the field.

However, Xu Yue was not surprised.

Taoyuan Village also has two Taoist doctors from Maoshan.

That is certainly not the whole story of Maoshan.

"The spirit array is fine." Xu Yue said to Meng Hao and the others, "With your cultivation level, you naturally wouldn't be able to see that there would be a problem over there due to spiritual energy. This matter will not affect your graduation."

Neither Yang Hua nor Xu Yuanzhi said anything about Xu Yue's words.

It would be inappropriate to blame the spreading Yin energy on Xu Yue's people.

"There must have been some malevolent energy emanating from there before, right?"

Xu Yue pointed over there and asked Yang Hua.

Yang Hua nodded.

There were some in the past, but they were almost negligible.

But if we ignore it now, the surrounding flowers, plants and trees will probably all die, and the affected area will only get bigger and bigger.

"What did Mr. Xu see?"

Xu Yuanzhi couldn't help but look at Xu Yue with curiosity.

It is said that Xu Yue is suspected of having condensed his primordial spirit, becoming the first person in hundreds of years to do so.

But no one has confirmed it.

However, his record is undeniable.

Others may not know, but how could a major sect like Maoshan not have its own information channels?

This man may seem gentle, but the number of fourth-realm experts who have died at his hands is countless.

They are extremely vicious.

"A zombie cave?" Xu Yue said with a smile, "Perhaps your Maoshan patriarch really sealed the zombies inside."

"Ok?"

Yang Hua looked at Xu Yue with some surprise.

Just because he hasn't seen a zombie doesn't mean he doesn't believe in them.

Although many of the traditions of Maoshan have been lost for some reason, there are relevant records in some of the notes of the Maoshan patriarchs.

"Could it be that spiritual energy activated the sealed zombie?" Xu Yuanzhi asked Xu Yue. "And the sealing formation has been damaged over time, which is why the Yin energy has been released?"

“There are indeed some traces of the formation there, which should be a sealing formation,” Xu Yue said. “However, whether it seals zombies or not, I don’t know. But there are many bronze coffins buried underground in the cave, with runes on them, and the Yin energy is coming from those bronze coffins.”

"A bronze coffin?" Yang Hua frowned, then said, "A corpse-suppressing coffin!"

"I don't know if it's a corpse-suppressing coffin, or if there are zombies inside," Xu Yue said. "The runes on that bronze coffin can block divine sense."

Spiritual consciousness?

Yang Hua and Xu Yuan both looked at Xu Yue in astonishment.

The rumors turned out to be true.

Xu Yuezhen has condensed his primordial spirit.

To have divine consciousness, one must at least have a primordial spirit.

These people cultivate spiritual power, so they might be able to perceive things that are invisible to the naked eye, such as qi.

They would never be able to sense that a bronze coffin was buried underground, and that there were runes on the bronze coffin.

"What suggestions do you have for handling this, Mr. Xu?" Lin Zheng asked. "If things continue like this, it might get complicated."

“Master Yang and his group are the real professionals!” Xu Yue said. “Why don’t we dig them up and burn them?”

"How are we supposed to dig this out!" Xu Yuanzhi said with a bitter face when he saw Lin Zheng looking at him and his master Yang Hua. "Director Lin, you can see for yourself that the Yin energy emanating from it is so dense that it's probably difficult to even get close."

"Is that sealing formation still intact?"

Seeing Lin Zheng looking at him again, Xu Yue asked.
