Chapter 80 The Journey to Wangshan (Part 9)

"I don't know the specifics very well. About half a year ago, my original body was stolen, and then a group of gods and demons... well, a small group of cult organizations came. They started setting up experimental bases in the mountains."

"Make up a good story. What would a cult need an experimental base for? You're not talking about raising corpses, are you?"

The old tortoise was taken aback: "They call them corpse raisers? You're truly knowledgeable, sir. Well then, corpse raisers! After they arrived, they dug caves and carved them out of the mountains, all under the cover of darkness. They even made a few soundproofing talismans. By the way, sir, your greatest skill used to be drawing talismans. You haven't lost that skill, have you?"

"I can draw a little, but I'm not as amazing as you say. Stop rambling, what happens after the corpse-raising site is set up?"

"After the corpse-raising site was set up, they dug up corpses everywhere to soak in their potions. Of course, they didn't just use the corpses of the dead; they preferred the corpses of the living! They also liked to make the zombies fight each other, so they could raise a higher-level zombie king. If they really succeed, they will definitely come back... Master, Master, where are you going! I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Su Yixuan walked down the mountain without looking back: "By the time you finish speaking, it will be dawn. I need to go back and think of a solution!"

Looking down at the rows of mummified corpses below the mountain, how can we deal with so many more in a more effective way?

They affixed concealment talismans as they had done before, and quietly returned to the village, where everyone was already asleep.

Zhang Wenbing was still waiting for her, and when he saw that she had returned unharmed, he couldn't help but feel a deep respect for her.

The boss is indeed a boss!
"Master Su, look at the situation outside..."

Su Yixuan interrupted him: "I need peach wood, the older the better."

"Peach wood? Yes, yes, that's how it's portrayed on TV. Peach wood swords kill zombies, one hit per zombie. Make us a few more, let's fight them!"

Su Yixuan looked at the clueless young man in front of her with a complicated expression: "...I don't know how to carve a peach wood sword, I just need peach wood."

"Oh! I'll go out and look for it tomorrow!"

"Alright, are there any spare rooms? I need to rest and recuperate; we have a tough battle to fight tomorrow."

Zhang Wenbing pointed to the bedroom on the right: "Everything is tidied up. The straw mat and pillow were woven by Grandpa Han from the village entrance. It's so cool!"

Before the chattering had even finished, Su Yixuan was already in bed.

It was cool, but the wooden bed was too hard, and she hadn't had a proper bath for many days, yet it didn't affect her sleep quality at all.

They slept soundly until dawn, and Zhang Wenbing and his team had already cut down quite a few peach branches.

Su Yixuan searched carefully, then frowned, realizing this wouldn't work.

Just as he was about to go out and look for it himself, Old Man Hua from across the street walked in, carrying a piece of fire poker.

“Young lady, I heard you’re looking for peach wood. Is it to exorcise evil spirits from the village? Last night I kept hearing wailing outside. That sound definitely indicates something unclean is there. Since you can see it, you must get rid of it!”

He handed over the fire poker in his hand: "This was passed down from my ancestors and has always been kept on the stove. Don't let its current appearance fool you; it's covered in soot and grime. Many people have asked me for it before, but I couldn't bear to give it away!"

Su Yixuan gave a thumbs up: "Great idea, it'll be convenient to take it out when you're cooking, since you can put it on the stove."

I took the fire poker; it was quite heavy, definitely a good item.

"Luckily, it didn't burn completely!"

The old man scratched the few remaining strands of silver hair on his head sheepishly: "It's good that it works. You must make sure to cleanse the evil spirits. You can use this peach wood as you like!"

On the stone table in the dilapidated courtyard sat a small bronze mirror wrapped in talisman paper, which he had obtained while taking advantage of the chaos when dealing with the beast king Youcai.

A little girl was carefully carving with a beautiful carving knife at the table.

Four burly men stood in a row, watching the little girl work intently under the scorching sun.

The scene was incredibly hot, and Gao Dayong couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead: "Look at him, a master is a master. The sun is so strong, yet he doesn't sweat a drop!"

Zhang Wenbing and the others nodded while wiping their sweat.

Su Yixuan paused, her hand holding the carving knife still, and pulled four talismans from her bag: "Heat-insulating talismans, one hundred each, a special price!"

Why are they standing here in the sun, and why are they buying these strange talismans?

They all pulled out their phones and scanned the QR code in perfect unison.

As expected, the master's skill was extraordinary. The four of them felt comfortable all over the moment the talisman was applied, and they could even feel a cool breeze blowing across their foreheads.

Zhang Wenbing nudged Gao Dayong with his elbow: "What do you think the master is carving?"

Gao Dayong carefully observed it for a few minutes and concluded: "It's probably a cat!"

Zhang Wenbing shook his head: "I feel like a mouse."

Su Yixuan, who was carving a scorpion, couldn't help but stop and examine it carefully for a while: This is clearly a scorpion with a noble temperament at a glance, their eyesight is really bad!

Satisfied, he put down the scorpion and began carving a toad.

Next came the gecko, and then the snake.

Gao Dayong finally figured it out: "Could the master be sculpting those little animals from the mirror?"

Zhang Wenbing stroked his chin: "Now that you mention it, I do think it does look a bit like one! Look at that pile of poop next to her, doesn't it look a lot like a snake? And that other pile too."

"Do you feel a chill in the air around you?"

"Isn't it because of the heat-insulating talisman?"

Su Yixuan slammed the carving knife on the table: "Get out of here, all of you!"

With the onlookers gone, she could finally focus on her work and finished carving the five peach wood beasts.

She carved purification and evil-refining talismans on each of the peach wood beasts, and carefully opened the talisman paper on the bronze mirror. The evil energy of the bronze mirror was weakest when the sun was at its strongest.

Arrange the five small peach wood beasts according to the position of the bronze mirror, and make a few gestures in the air with one hand. The bronze mirror will then rise automatically.

"Shifting Form, Land!"

As the gesture fell, it landed squarely on the five small peach wood beasts.

In an instant, the five black evil energies fled with the wind, but due to the purification of the peach wood beast and the scorching heat, they were reduced to ashes not far away.

Su Yixuan picked up the small bronze mirror with satisfaction, blew off the peach wood ash on it, and the magic tool that was used to set up the poison array was forcibly transformed into a magic treasure for refining evil spirits and exorcising evil.

Nodding in satisfaction, she put on her small mirror and prepared to go out.

Gao Dayong rolled out of the house with a "plop," perhaps he was pushed out, who knows!

"Master, please take us with you!"

Su Yixuan didn't really want to bring them, but seeing the three pairs of eyes peeking through the crack in the door, she finally didn't refuse: "Come on, let's all come!"

The four of them were in high spirits, as if they were going on a picnic. They searched around but couldn't find a single weapon that suited them.

Su Yixuan gave each person a Concealing Breath Talisman and a Swift Travel Talisman, carefully instructing them: "The use of talismans has a time limit. If things go wrong, immediately retreat back to the village. There are gods protecting us here."

"Gods? No wonder those filthy things can't get in!"

"No wonder the villagers were completely unaware of those ferocious creatures outside; it turns out they were being protected too well!"
