The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 19 You Don’t Play Like This
The sloppy Taoist priest was overjoyed. Although Li Jingxiao looked young, since he was the abbot of the temple and an eighth-rank official, he must be a capable person in his mind.

He hurriedly said, "Thank you, sir. I will definitely come to visit you in the future."

After saying this, he subconsciously glanced at the coffin, and said with a somewhat troubled expression, "Your Excellency doesn't know, I originally wanted to burn this body.

I'm just worried about this guy's family, they're on their way.

By then, the body will be gone, and I won’t be able to explain it clearly, so I can only report it to the government.”

Li Jingxiao nodded and reached out to push open the coffin.

A ball of black gas gathered on the corpse and did not dissipate for a long time.

There is no doubt now.

It was still a little after 2 p.m., the sun was scorching, and the exact time of the corpse transformation should be tonight.

After looking at the corpse, Li Jingxiao's eyes fell on the peach wood sword and a talisman for suppressing evil placed beside the corpse.

Unfortunately, the spiritual energy in this evil-suppressing talisman is being continuously consumed, but it also has a suppressing effect.

Otherwise, he might have turned into a zombie long ago.

I was able to rush over and deal with this thing, all thanks to this Taoist Master Liu.

Moreover, the zombie's strength was also greatly consumed by the evil-suppressing talisman.

Even if it comes out, it won't be too difficult to fight.

He reached out and picked up the peach wood sword, and saw the words "110 Years Peach Wood Sword" revealed on it.

The words "Liu Hongshi, the 32nd generation successor of Maoshan" were also engraved on the wooden sword.

Li Jingxiao suddenly realized that it was this magic sword that really worked.

Moreover, this sloppy Taoist priest is actually the official successor of Maoshan.

He smiled and said, "Brother Dao, you are really willing to give away a hundred-year-old peach wood sword."

Taoist Liu knew that Li Jingxiao had seen that he was from Maoshan, so he became much more polite.

This also means that Taoist Priest Liu no longer needs to worry about this adult seizing his magic weapon.

Moreover, since they acknowledge their own identity and origin, they will not take away the credit that belongs to them.

Li Jingxiao also saw some of Taoist Liu's thoughts and threw them to him casually.

Without the suppression of the peach wood sword, the black gas coming out of the corpse offset the speed of the spiritual energy on the evil-suppressing talisman, and indeed it increased a little.

Taoist Liu's expression changed slightly when he saw this. Li Jingxiao shook his head and signaled him to be patient.

He reached into his sleeve and actually pulled out a stack of amulets from his inventory.

Then, he took out a stack of fire-controlling talismans.

Taoist Liu was stunned, and his eyes when he looked at Li Jingxiao changed again.

He thought to himself that this senior master really loved him, but he didn't know that these were just the drawings that Li Jingxiao spent several hours drawing himself.

Again, a Taoist priest with the same level of cultivation as him has at least five, six, or even ten times less true qi than him.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao can also take blue medicine in the game to replenish his mana.

To a certain extent, as long as he has enough mana, he will have unlimited mana.

Even if you can't win, you can still wear your opponent down.

Li Jingxiao winked at Taoist Liu, but in his heart he was thinking that it was necessary to make friends with this Taoist priest from Maoshan.

Maybe in the future I can get some benefits from him or Maoshan.

Taoist Liu nodded. They were all practicing cultivation, and the other person was an eighth-rank official at a young age.

Even if we don't make friends with each other, we must not offend them.

When Li Jingxiao saw him nod, he knew that the other party would not ruin his business.

Then he turned around and followed Rao Guangxian, Yu Fubao, and You Shiheng who had come in and said, "My lords, what Taoist Priest Liu said is correct.

The best and easiest way now is to burn the body."

Rao Guangxian and Yu Fubao nodded, but You Shiheng was not willing to do so.

If we can confirm that the corpse will mutate, everything will be easy.

But now it's just a suspicion. I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so it's just a possibility.

The dead are the greatest, and burial is the best way to rest. If matters involving the return of the remains to their hometowns and burial are not handled properly, it will affect the assessment.

Li Jingxiao didn't argue much. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then find some strong ropes and carefully tie up the corpse.

If my prediction is correct, this corpse will surely transform into a zombie tonight.

Invite a few village elders to be witnesses, and since the three adults saw it with their own eyes, and there are so many soldiers and yamen runners to testify, there is no way the family of the deceased will be allowed to make unreasonable demands.

Besides, I suspect that it is not that simple for the deceased to have drowned.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the corpse to still look like a normal person after 7 days. It is also impossible for it to be suppressed by the talisman and the hundred-year-old peach wood sword and still gradually transform into a corpse."

Rao Guangxian and Yu Fubao immediately became a little scared.

It was possible that the corpse had turned into a corpse, and now Li Jingxiao said that this corpse was not simple and might be a big trouble.

As for You Shiheng, he did not object this time.

Seeing this, Li Jingxiao pulled Rao Guangxian and Yu Fubao aside and whispered, "Don't worry, my two lords.

If I didn't have confidence, I wouldn't dare to joke with my life.

Besides, we just need to tie up the body and prepare flammable materials such as fragrant oil.

If I can't handle it, I'll just burn him."

After hearing what Li Jingxiao said, Rao Guangxian and Yu Fubao finally felt relieved.

Commanding the dozen or so people in brocade clothes and small flags who came with them, they hurried before the sun set.

Not only was the body tied up like a dumpling, but kerosene was also poured on the thick hemp rope.

If something goes wrong, it will definitely be burned.

The dozen or so people in brocade uniforms of the Daoluo Division were originally the team responsible for dealing with these strange things.

The execution is very rigorous.

The small flag officer even asked his men to come from the villages near the charity cemetery.

While inviting the village elders, they also bought two of the village's black dogs.

One of them was actually a five-black dog.

Li Jingxiao immediately became interested.

After some inquiries, I learned that there were several five-black puppies in that village.

He quickly paid the money and asked two soldiers to go on horseback again to buy back all the five black puppies.

Waiting for the 4 puppies to be brought back.

Yu Fubao asked out of curiosity and learned that this kind of dog can drive away evil spirits.

At night, the resentful ghosts were afraid of this dog.

It is the best dog to protect the house, so I asked for one immediately.

Seeing this, Rao Guangxian naturally took one of the options.

Li Jingxiao looked at You Shiheng, who had the highest official position here.

Although he had no control over himself, if he spoke up, Li Jingxiao would not have to offend anyone.

Fortunately, You Shiheng just glanced at the two puppies for a few seconds and then turned his head away.

With his status, he could easily get eight or ten.
-
Before I knew it, the moon was rising above the willow trees.

It is sunny during the day and clear at night.

The group of people, who had already used up their dry food, could not help but look nervously at the corpse being carried out and placed on the open ground.

Fortunately, more than a dozen bonfires were lit around, and the yamen runners and You Shiheng's entourage were also busy in the afternoon.

Following You Shiheng's instructions, he borrowed tools from Taoist Liu, the manager of the charity cemetery, and cut down several large trees and a lot of firewood.

Once the dry firewood is burned, the split pieces of wood will soon become a pile of fire that can burn for a long time.

If an accident really happens, a dozen torches thrown out can set the corpse on fire.

Then use a spear or a stick to push the corpse towards a random fire, and the fire on the corpse will become even bigger.
