Chapter 147 Maoshan Maoqing
The children were enjoying the candied hawthorns, a delicacy they usually longed for but could never have, their eyes filled with admiration for Li Xuan. The light in their eyes was almost overflowing, as if they regarded Li Xuan as a god.

Li Xuan bid farewell to Jicaotang.

He couldn't spend too much time in Guangdong; he needed to get to Fukang County as soon as possible to prevent the plot from starting prematurely and causing the Maoshan sect leader to perish together with that supermodel flying zombie.

The main mode of transportation on the road was the horse-drawn carriage that traveled on the official road.

The official road, after being cleared and paved, was mainly used by government officials to speed up the transport of letters and goods. Of course, at that time, they couldn't attend to it at all, and anyone who didn't intentionally damage the ground could use it.

Li Xuan did want to take the train, but the current train tracks are concentrated along the eastern coast, and there are no tracks leading inland.

He never expected that this journey would take more than four months to travel north from Guangdong, cross the Yellow River, and enter Hebei.

The Yellow River's current was too swift for horse-drawn carriages, so it was sold in Henan.

They continued their journey by hiring drivers and boatmen.

At this moment, Li Xuan had just crossed the Yellow River on a merchant ship. The ship rocked and swayed several times, and he thought it was going to capsize, but it still made it through...

Chen Asi was so frightened that his face turned ashen.

After disembarking, Li Xuan saw that he could barely stand, so he cast a spell to calm him down and said with a smile, "Fukang County is so far from Guangdong. It took us more than four months to travel there by carriage. How did you come up with the idea of ​​going there?"

Chen Asi was a little embarrassed and scratched his head, saying, "I heard some foreigners passing by in town say that a railway was being built in the south and a lot of workers were needed, with generous pay. So I got excited and set off on a whim!"
As a result, I was robbed as soon as I left Fukang County, and I was left with only tattered clothes. I was too ashamed to go back, so I simply kept walking south... I encountered bandits, government soldiers, and was even kidnapped and held hostage. I told my master that I had come out to do hard labor for two years, but in reality, I had been wandering for a year and a half..."

Li Xuan: “…”

His work experience over the past two years is rather superficial, but he has a wealth of social experience.

It's a miracle that Chen Asi survived.

It should be noted that it took him more than four months to travel from Guangdong, along official roads and by horse-drawn carriage. Even so, he encountered at least a dozen groups of bandits and thieves, and even government soldiers took advantage of the chaos to loot. He was taught a real lesson.

The Yellow River roared and gurgled, carrying a large amount of silt and sand, its force immense.

Li Xuan stood by and watched for a while. This river had sustained countless people on both banks, but it had also drowned many during floods...

He took out a simple map, looked at it for a while, and said, "We'll arrive in two more days. We need to quicken our pace."

……

On a dark and windy night, a group of people rode fast horses along a dimly lit mountain road. At the front was a man in his early forties, bald, with a face full of scars, dressed in tight-fitting clothes. Because of his distinctive features, he looked as if the word "bad guy" was etched on his forehead.

Behind him followed four men in their twenties, of varying heights and builds, wearing straw hats and hemp clothing, with chains and hooks around their waists and swords on their backs. Further behind were eight more men, all dressed in identical dark hemp clothing…

The burly, bald man had more weapons than the others: spears, longswords, grappling hooks, and even explosives on his saddle.

He spotted a looted grave ahead and immediately stopped everyone. He sniffed the air, lightly traced the iron tip of his spear with his sword, and saw sparks fly. He said, "This place is full of swamp gas. If we're not careful, it could cause an explosion. Everyone, extinguish your torches and proceed with caution!"

Despite his frightening bald appearance, he is actually Mao Qing, the head of the Maoshan sect, who came down from Maoshan Mountain. Because of the constant war and corpses strewn across the land below the mountain, some of the corpses were affected by the underground magnetic field and turned into zombies, wreaking havoc on the world. So he led his four personal disciples, Feng, Lei, Yu, and Dian, as well as eight nominal disciples, Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng, and Xin, down the mountain to subdue demons and monsters.

Hearing that monsters were appearing in Fukang County, he traveled day and night and arrived at the scene, only to find that a general's tomb had been dug up by tomb raiders.

The tomb emitted a cold, pungent stench.

Mao Qing frowned deeply. If nothing unexpected happened, the corpse in the general's tomb should have turned into a zombie. He picked up a piece of explosive from beside the saddle and said, "You all stay put, I'll go check the situation."

He was agile and jumped off his horse, taking three steps at a time. The tomb was pitch black. After thinking for a moment, he jumped down.

strangeness……

Where did the body go?
The four disciples, worried, gathered around the tomb. Just then, a rumble of thunder sounded in the sky, and lightning flashed across the heavens. In that instant, disciple Feng saw something that sent chills down his spine and hurriedly cried out, "Master, it's behind you!"

Mao Qing felt a chill run down his spine. His heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "I've really messed with them this time. They were able to stand behind me so silently..."

He shouted, "Run!"

Without a word, the disciples scattered and placed their hands on the locks at their waists.

Mao Qing leaped out of the tomb, reaching a height of two or three meters. However, to his surprise, the zombie that had already turned into a corpse followed him closely, almost perfectly replicating his movements and height. The zombie leaped out at the same time and stuck directly to his back, instantly creating a powerful suction force that tore at his skin...

Upon seeing this, the disciples rushed forward with their swords and daggers, all plunging them into the zombie's body. The feel was dry, more like a sharp blade piercing through mud and sand.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Mao Qing broke free and shouted, "Lock it up!"

The four of them, Feng, Lei, Yu, and Dian, took out grappling hooks and swung them out, locking the zombie in four directions. Just when they thought the situation was under control, the zombie suddenly turned towards the nearest disciple and used a suction force from a distance. Instantly, the disciple's facial skin burst open, and blood sprayed out, all of it landing on the zombie!
This action terrified everyone. After descending the mountain for so long, the zombies they encountered were nothing more than moving corpses. Even the most powerful ones were just hopping around with hard bodies, grabbing and biting people.

Bloodsucking from a distance—that's terrifying.

Wow...

The iron chain on the hook rattled violently, snapped taut by the zombie, and the disciple was sucked dry in the blink of an eye.

Feng Lei Yu Dian felt the zombie's strength suddenly increase, and the iron chains dragged the four people around! The brave disciples, no less than four in number, threw ropes to help, but unfortunately, the zombie, having sucked human blood, grew stronger and stronger, dragging the iron chains around, and soon two more disciples were killed.

Seeing this, Mao Qing felt a pang of pain in his heart and stopped the wind, rain, and lightning that were about to be flung away: "You all meet up in the nearest village. I must get rid of this scourge!"

The zombie dragged the four half-dead disciples rapidly into the depths of the forest.

Mao Qing leaped onto his horse and followed closely behind. However, in their panic, the disciples swung their swords at the chains binding the zombies. The sparks ignited the marsh gas, causing an explosion. A powerful blast of air, carrying flames, swept out and set the entire forest ablaze...

When the wind, thunder, rain, and lightning arrived, they found the forest still burning, but their master was nowhere to be seen. They assumed he had been burned to death and were heartbroken.
