Simultaneous travel: City, infinite evolution

Chapter 163 Eliminating the Silver-Armored Corpse of the Seven Families of Maoshan
The female ghost shook her head repeatedly, "After I died, I dutifully rested in my own grave."

"It was only because Qiu Sheng lit incense for me that I felt grateful for his kindness and wanted to repay him, which is why I approached him."

Chen Hong was speechless. "If you want to repay him, do you think you can just offer yourself to him?"

Do you know that you're absorbing his yang energy?

If you stay with him, you'll drain him dry sooner or later. He'll die suddenly in a few months.

After hearing Chen Hong's words, Qiu Sheng became even more terrified.

"Ancestor, Ancestor, please take her away quickly, lest she go out and harm people."

The female ghost looked disappointed. "I didn't expect that you're no different from them."

I guess I misjudged you.

"Who needs you to be right?" Qiu Sheng retorted.

"It's good that you've all come to terms with it."

Chen Hong smiled and said, "Then I'll send you to reincarnation."

"Don't worry, I'll act quickly. I also have people in the underworld, so you won't suffer."

"Eighteen years from now, you'll be a young woman again."

"No...no!" The female ghost cried out in fear. "I don't want to be reincarnated. I don't want to be reborn as a human."

"We are now in a time of chaos, with war and famine everywhere, and people suffering from famine and plague."

I don't want to be human.

"What's more terrifying than being a ghost is being a human."

"I would rather be a wandering ghost, one day my soul will be scattered and my ashes will turn to dust, than be a human."

Chen Hong stroked his chin. "What you said makes a lot of sense. I can't refute it."

"Fine, since that's the case, I'll speak to the underworld and let you stay in the Ghost City for twenty years. You can be reincarnated after twenty years, how about that?"

"No...no, I don't want to go to the underworld, that's not a place for ghosts."

I will be bullied by ghosts, and I will be exploited by the underworld.

"I'm just a little ghost; I can't possibly fight against even a random ghost messenger or evil spirit in the underworld."

Seeing the female ghost's terrified expression, Chen Hong felt helpless.

"This won't work, that won't work, what exactly do you want?"

"I want to follow you, okay?" The female ghost looked at Chen Hong pitifully.

Chen Hong shook his head. "No, humans and ghosts are different. Staying together for a long time will disrupt the order of Yin and Yang."

"No, it won't happen." The female ghost shook her head. "The True Lord has profound Taoist cultivation and deep magical power. He will definitely be able to subdue this little girl. Keeping her by my side will not cause any problems."

Chen Hong shook his head again.

The female ghost grew anxious, "True Lord, you also want to lessen the burden on this chaotic world of demons, don't you?"

Qiu Sheng couldn't help but feel pity. "Ancestor, why don't you... just agree?"

"Anyway, for you, Ancestor, raising a female ghost is nothing."

Chen Hong sighed, "Fine, I'll detain you for now."

"After this chaotic world ends, you'd better reincarnate."

"Thank you, True Lord. Thank you, True Lord."

The female ghost kowtowed repeatedly to Chen Hong, overjoyed.

"Get up."

"【Exorcise the Gods】, exorcise them!"

Chen Hong used the Earthly Fiend Exorcism Technique to command ghosts and spirits.

A red lotus flower mark appeared between the female ghost's eyebrows, and she became a ghost under Chen Hong's command, completely under Chen Hong's control.

They are allowed to legally remain in the mortal realm without needing to reincarnate.

By the time Chen Hong and Qiu Sheng returned to the Ren family home, it was already dawn.

At this point, Wen Cai and Ren Fa had developed dark red lividity on their faces, and their fingernails had grown longer.

"Oh, Qiusheng, you're finally back. I asked you to buy some glutinous rice, why are you so late?"

Ren Fa wailed and complained.

"Quickly, quickly apply glutinous rice," Uncle Jiu instructed.

Qiu Sheng quickly poured out glutinous rice and sprinkled it on Ren Fahe and Wen Cai's wounds.

Sizzle! Sizzle! ...

A puff of white smoke immediately appeared from the corrosion.

"Ah! Ah!..."

Ren Fa and Wen Cai let out a scream.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

"Bear with it. The wound is contaminated with corpse poison, yin energy, and evil energy. This is what happens when you encounter glutinous rice to detoxify it."

That way it will heal faster.

Chen Hong picked up a handful of glutinous rice, examined it, and found something was wrong.

"No, you mixed glutinous rice with regular rice, so it's not effective enough."

"What?" Uncle Nine quickly came over to check.

"As expected, it contained glutinous rice."

Qiu Sheng, what's wrong with you? Why did you buy fake rice?

It needs to be pure glutinous rice to be effective.

Uncle Nine glared at Qiu Sheng speechlessly.

"Huh?" Qiu Sheng came over to check as well. "How could this happen?"

"Oh, it must be that damn boss who sold me counterfeit goods! I'm going to confront him!"

"Remember to buy pure glutinous rice, and buy plenty."

Uncle Jiu reached out his hand, still worried, and called out his instructions.

"I understand." Qiu Sheng waved his hand.

"Let's just make do with it for now."

Uncle Nine poured out all the impure glutinous rice and spread it all over Wen Cai and Ren Fa's wounds.

Two more beds were then covered with blankets.

"Quick, jump up! Jump up!"

"oh oh."

Wencai and Renfa took off their shoes, got on the bed and danced to maintain blood circulation and muscle activity, so as to avoid turning into zombies.

at the same time.

Awei led a team out to find zombies. They found zombies in a cave, but were quickly terrified and ran out in a panic.

The injured zombie ate a large number of rats inside and gradually recovered.

My eyes have become able to see people again.

They hunted everywhere and ate a great many animals.

It stimulated the blood of Ren Fa's relatives that were being absorbed into the body, and the body gradually turned silver.

When a zombie drinks the blood of its relatives, it unlocks the door to evolution.

The bronze-armored zombies are now beginning to evolve to a higher level.

Even their movements are no longer hopping, but have become like a human, walking on two legs, and their hands are no longer raised stiffly, but have become as flexible as a human.

Moreover, it secretly attacked Renjia Town, sucked people's blood, and its entire body turned silver.

He has completed his evolution.

It evolved from a bronze-armored corpse into a silver-armored corpse.

Qiu Sheng bought glutinous rice and soaked it in water for Wen Cai and Ren Fa. They then soaked themselves in the rice water, which finally removed the corpse poison and relieved their stiff muscles.

Then Uncle Nine ordered them to spread glutinous rice on the ground in the yard.

They also pasted yellow talismans all over the room.

At night.

When Chen Hong and Uncle Jiu heard that someone had died in the town, they went out to check, collected the bodies, and burned them.

If they are not burned, these corpses will turn into new zombies, and the virus will spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and a zombie overpopulation would be terrible.

However, taking advantage of Chen Hong and Uncle Jiu's absence, the zombies made a surprise return and came to the Ren family.

"Roar!……"

The zombie, its black eyes wide open, strode in, smashing open the door. Its footsteps on the glutinous rice floor corroded, releasing white smoke and leaving behind trails of black, oily footprints.

But he ignored it all, his entire body silver, like metal, with a body of steel and iron, roaring as he walked over.

"Oh no! Something terrible has happened!"

"The zombies are coming."

"Quick, close the door."

Ah Wei howled like a wolf, and Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, as if facing a formidable enemy, quickly closed the door.

"Shoot now!"

Although Awei's men were afraid, they knew they would die if they didn't fight back against the zombies.

They fired simultaneously, the bullets volleying in a continuous stream, the sound of gunfire ringing out incessantly.

Sparks appeared on the silver-armored corpse.

The zombie glanced at the fierce, energetic front, then leaped away.

"Hahaha, finally gone."

Awei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"You guys, stay outside. No matter who knocks, don't open the door, understand?"

"Yes!"

Awei quickly closed the door, hid inside the room, and blocked the way with a bunch of tables.

"Now I can rest assured." Awei patted his chest.

But he didn't know that the zombie had already climbed onto the roof, climbed down through the skylight, and entered the house.

The zombie jumped down and charged straight at Ren Fa.

Ren Fa was so frightened that he hid behind Awei.

"what!"

Awei was startled and quickly ran to the door to knock.

"Open the door quickly, open the door quickly, it's your captain, Awei."

"We won't open the door for anyone."

The underlings shouted, but he remained unmoved.

"These bastards!" Awei exclaimed in exasperation.

Wencai and Qiusheng pulled up the ink line, which bounced the zombie back, thus saving them from disaster.

The zombie roared, extended its silver claws, grabbed the ink line, and ripped it apart, severing it with a hissing sound.

"Hiss, so fierce?"

Everyone was shocked.

Qiu Sheng casually picked up Guan Gong's broadsword from the wall and with a powerful cleavage, struck the zombie's head.

It made a loud clanging sound.

The broadsword broke.

"Hiss, it's so hard?"

"Roar!"

"Oh no! The zombies are attacking! Wencai, hold them off!"

"Huh? Me?" Wen Cai looked completely bewildered.

But the zombies had already pounced.

Having no other choice, Wen Cai lunged forward with an elbow strike, like a sumo wrestler, slamming the zombie to the ground by pressing his elbow against its chest.

Then, with a quick somersault, it left.

Qiu Sheng leaped onto a piece of cloth on the roof beam, hung upside down, and, wielding two swords, thrust them vertically toward the zombie's eyes.

This move was undeniably beautiful.

Unfortunately, the silver-armored corpse was no ordinary creature; it reached out and grabbed the sword.

With a sharp twist, the sword bent.

Click.

The sword is broken.

The zombie grabbed Qiu Sheng's arm, slammed him hard, and threw him out.

The zombie caught up again, and Qiu Sheng, unable to defeat it, could only keep dodging.

Wencai led Awei, Renfa, and Rentingting through the front door and escaped.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, why haven't Master and the others come back yet?"

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Chen Hong and Uncle Jiu arrived just in time after burning the body.

"Huh? A silver-armored corpse?"

"There are no longer any traces of the mastermind on him, so he's no longer worth keeping. It seems we can kill him."

Chen Hong leaped forward and arrived in front of the silver-armored corpse.

"Five thunders rectify the law!"

Chen Hong unleashed countless bolts of lightning, causing the silver-armored corpse to flail wildly and howl incessantly.

"Samadhi True Fire!"

Samadhi True Fire erupted from the silver-armored corpse, burning away its essence, energy, and spirit, as it wailed incessantly.

"Size as you wish."

Chen Hong's legs suddenly stretched and grew larger, like the feet of a giant, like a rubber fruit, or like the Heavenly Crippled Foot, kicking the silver-armored corpse away.

It flew up through the roof.

Chen Hong leaped out of the house and flew into the sky.

"Black gold explodes with blazing flames!"

Like the raging explosion of hundreds of tons of fuel compression tanks, the flames were terrifying and directly shattered the silver-armored corpse.

It will turn into fragments, burn completely, and evaporate into nothingness.

The zombies were finally completely wiped out.

The crowd cheered.

the next day.

Chen Hong asked his Uncle Jiu for advice on Maoshan Taoist techniques.

Uncle Nine explained in detail: "My Maoshan Taoist arts are divided into seven branches, namely [Talismans], [Invoking Gods], [Magic Martial Arts], [Corpse Driving and Ghost Raising], [Alchemy and Weapon Forging], [Astrology and Divination], and [Feng Shui and Physiognomy]."

"For example, I belong to the [Talisman] lineage."

"My senior brother, Fu Jian, is from the lineage of magic and martial arts. He is proficient in both magic and martial arts, and his Lightning Thunder Fist is unmatched. He is number one in combat power and can kill anyone who gets in his way."

"And my junior brother, Master Four Eyes, is the best of the Corpse-driving lineage."

Chen Hong nodded. It seemed that Maoshan still had many practical Taoist techniques.

Although these Taoist techniques may not be as powerful in terms of combat effectiveness.

However, it is still very useful in professional fields.

"Uncle Jiu, do you have any secret techniques now? I'd like to learn them."

"Oh, I am from the [Talisman] lineage. I have a book called 'Maoshan Secret Techniques,' which records various talismans as well as some basic knowledge and secret techniques of other lineages."

You can take a look at it.

Uncle Jiu went into the room and searched around. He found a book called "Secret Techniques of Maoshan" and handed it to Chen Hong.

Chen Hong immediately flipped it over.

Talismans are the veins of heaven and earth, capable of influencing the earth and its rules, and can control wind and thunder, and suppress ghosts and gods.

There are three types of talismans. One type is the yellow talisman, which is used by ordinary Taoist priests and is also the most widely circulated talisman.

Examples include: corpse-fixing talismans, corpse-suppressing talismans, ghost-suppressing talismans, and evil-repelling talismans.

One type is the red talisman, used for literary purposes (such as praying for blessings, ensuring a safe pregnancy, and curing illnesses). The cinnabar material symbolizes "the most yang element," which can ward off evil spirits. Common types include peach blossom talismans (to enhance interpersonal relationships) and Wenchang talismans (to aid in studies and career), etc.

Another type is the purple talisman, which is the most powerful talisman. Its materials are also more difficult to find, and even major sects find it difficult to make. Once it appears, it will become the sect's treasure.

Examples include: Heavenly Thunder Talisman, Demon Suppressing Talisman, Demon Subduing Talisman, Big Dipper Talisman, etc.

The three types of talismans differ not only in the materials used to make them, but also in the content they contain.

The purple talisman contains more laws, therefore it is more powerful.

It is precisely because it needs to bear more laws that it requires superior materials.
