Zombie Life Begins in Hongxi Village

The headless body did not answer, but simply reached out its left hand, took off a grotesque ghost head with a face full of scars from its waist, and pressed it against its neck.

The black mist surged, and the head of the man with a face full of scars gradually changed, eventually becoming Qin Bu's original appearance.

He stretched his neck, and after his joints made two crisp cracking sounds, he couldn't help but glare at Zhao Li.

He knew this guy's character; he must have been saying bad things about him just now.

"So it's Brother Zhao. What brings you here?" Qin Bu asked in a nonchalant tone.

Zhao Li looked at the head that Qin Bu had just "planted" on, and couldn't help but glance at the densely packed ghost heads around his waist.

Each of those ghost heads retained the painful expression of dying, like a string of silent wind chimes.

Zhao Li suddenly felt a little fortunate. Fortunately, this guy had already joined the Linming Underworld and become a formally appointed ghost. Otherwise, with his strange and unpredictable methods, he would be a huge problem anywhere.

Zhao Li had heard of the forbidden ghost king of the executioner lineage.

He considered himself to have seen quite a few of the unorthodox lineages among the nine unorthodox paths, but as far as he knew, Qin Bu was the only executioner in the past thousand years who had truly reached the point of "two as one".

The forbidden demon king's body and his headless body after being severed coexist, making him extremely strange and difficult to deal with.

Moreover, Qin Bu is now a righteous god of the underworld, a being of both god and demon, and the hundreds of vengeful ghost heads hanging on his waist are clearly not just for show.

Zhao Liguang felt a pang of fear just standing in front of him.

"It's like this," Zhao Li rubbed his hands together, a fawning smile spreading across his face, "My colleague recently discovered a hidden lab in a hospital."

It's not the kind that deals with bacteria and viruses; it's an experimental base for Yin-Yang techniques run by Onmyoji (Yin-Yang Masters), which has already harmed thousands of ordinary people.

There's an old ghost in that lab who's possessing a doll. He's incredibly cunning; he knows Yin-Yang magic and has an immortal soul, making him very difficult to deal with.

I was thinking, your ancestral ghost-headed sword has slain ghosts and immortals, could I borrow it for a moment?

At this point, Zhao Li's smile became even more eager.

Upon hearing this, Qin Bu was slightly taken aback, a barely perceptible hint of embarrassment flashing across his face.

The Ghost Head Blade did indeed slay ghost immortals, and it even slew seven of the Eight Ghost Immortals.

After being recognized by Bai Wuchang and Yu Canhua, his partner, he never showed any kindness to them.

Now he tries his best to keep his headless body out of sight of Yu Canhua.

"It's not that I don't want to lend it,"

Qin Bu snapped out of his daze, shook his head, and spoke with a hint of apology in his voice.

"However, this blade is extremely vicious, with a malevolent aura that seeps into the bones. Anyone other than me who touches it will be instantly devoured by the malevolent energy within, suffering damage to their soul or even being completely destroyed on the spot."

Brother Zhao, although you are also a ghost messenger, I'm afraid you can't withstand it either.

Zhao Li's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "How about this, Brother Qin, why don't you come with me?"

Those guys are too arrogant. They dare to openly conduct forbidden experiments on the soul on our Chinese soil. They simply don't respect us, who are considered gods and spirits.

"If Brother Qin is willing to lend a hand, our chances of success will be much greater if we join forces!"

Qin Bu nodded in deep agreement.

He had never liked the simple life; during his time as an executioner, he had seen too many foreigners and Japanese devils who were worse than pigs and dogs.

Now that he has become a righteous god of the underworld, he will not tolerate such evil spirits running rampant in his land.

However, he was currently bound by royal orders, and the mission on Half Bay Island was not yet fully completed. As he hesitated, a very faint voice transmission suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Go."

It was Lin Yi's voice. Qin Bu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately changed his words, saying, "Alright, this matter should be handled as soon as possible. Where is that old ghost now?"

"It and that Onmyoji named Tsuchimikado Ichiro have left the hospital and are currently wandering around the Guangzhou area," Zhao Li replied.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go." Qin Bu was even more anxious than him.

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Li slowly opened a small gate to the underworld in front of the two of them.

Zhao Li gestured for Qin Bu to enter, and Qin Bu, without hesitation, stepped inside.

The gates of hell closed silently behind the two, and the mountains and fields returned to deathly silence.

Lin Yi stood at the edge of the tunnel where the treasure was hidden, a flicker of emotion flashing in his eyes.

In the timeline of "The Ferryman," the ghost doll Hao Ji, the adopted daughter of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, is an extremely troublesome character.

Driven by her obsession, she transformed into an immortal soul, attaching herself to an ancient doll and causing chaos in both the realms of Yin and Yang. She even once attempted to use the soul of Chi You to sacrifice to the Lord of Mount Tai, hoping to resurrect Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

In terms of combat strength, Hao Ji may not be top-tier, but she is indeed unpredictable and difficult to kill. In addition, her endless Yin-Yang evil arts make Zhao Li no match for her.

However, when it comes to being bizarre, she pales in comparison to Qin Bu.

Qin Bu's headless body and his ghostly body are one and the same; as long as neither body is destroyed at the same time, he will never be killed.

Moreover, the hundreds of vengeful ghost heads on his waist were each a life.

And his demon-headed dagger is precisely the nemesis of a deeply obsessive demon like Hao Ji.

If there is anything in this world that can completely end an immortal soul, the knife in Qin Bu's hand is definitely one of them.

However, Lin Yi was somewhat wary of the mysterious First Underworld King, the so-called "residence of all gods."

Perhaps He and the underworld He controls are the trump card of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, or rather, the Book of Man.

The place where the gods have returned.

How many gods would that require? Lin Yi pondered this more and more deeply.

Countless deities accumulated during the countless cataclysmic events in this world have been preserved in books by humankind.

Furthermore, the recurring mention of "Kunlun" in Soul Ferry makes it hard not to think of the previous era that created the Pangu Clan—the Kunlun Clan.

If this Kunlun is the same as that Kunlun, then the Kunlun gods lurking in the shadows are probably far more numerous than he imagined.

There is definitely more than one character who is just a minor character in My Date with a Zombie.

Perhaps the Kunlun gods were not stronger than the Pangu people, but their civilization and creativity were the most terrifying, after all, they were able to create a group of Pangu.

In the game "The Void," the Pangu clan, including its strongest member Jiang Chen, were merely pawns of Kunlun.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi's originally relaxed state of mind couldn't help but become a little more anxious.

While Lin Yi was lost in thought, Qingqing had already made her move.

She slammed her fist on the seal at the wellhead, and the bluestone slab engraved with cinnabar runes shattered, revealing a rather bright opening, the source of which was unknown.

The Qin corpse did not emerge; it was currently huddled deeper inside, too afraid to come out.

"Go, get down."

Lin Yi snapped out of her daze, waved to the crowd, and jumped down first.

The group descended into the well one by one, and after walking along a narrow passage for a short while, they arrived at a huge pit.

Countless venomous snakes were coiled up inside, flicking their tongues upwards.

"Officer Shi, Qingqing, you two stay here and keep watch."

We'll swing across using the vines, but be careful not to touch the mechanisms on the stone wall, and also avoid stepping on these spots on the ground.

Lin Yi was well-versed in feng shui secrets and easily saw through the traps and mechanisms inside.

At this moment, Li Lingling timidly raised her hand and said in a trembling voice, "I'm afraid of snakes, can I not go over there?"

"Okay, then you wait here." Lin Yi nodded.

Then, he led Nianying, Lin Xiaohua, and Lin Qingqing to grab the vines, use the momentum to swing, and successfully cross the snake pit.

Upon reaching the water's source, Lin Yi stopped, glanced at the deep blue pool, and said:

"Looks like we'll have to dive across from here. Nianying can't swim, you wait here."

"Who among you can't swim?" he asked again.

Lin Qingqing blushed slightly and said somewhat shyly, "I can swim, but it's not convenient today."

Lin Yi said "Oh" to indicate that she understood.

He turned to look at Lin Xiaohua, a smile playing on his lips: "Xiaohua, dare to come diving with me?"

Lin Xiaohua couldn't wait to be alone with him, so she nodded vigorously.

Her girlish sentiments made her disregard the potential dangers.

"Okay, let's go."

Lin Yi jumped into the water first, and Lin Xiaohua took a deep breath and followed.

The underwater area was not dark at all; on the contrary, it was quite bright.

Lin Yi took her hand and swam deeper into the water, where they soon saw a corpse.

It floated halfway in the water, its limbs firmly chained to the stone wall by four thick iron chains. Its robes were tattered into strips, and its skin had a sickly grayish-white color, yet it faintly shimmered with moisture.

This is a water-walking zombie that has already turned into a corpse, its body shrouded in water vapor.

It was still asleep, but Lin Yi could already feel the cold, damp corpse energy flowing slowly within its body, indicating that it had clearly entered the edge of a shallow awakening.

Lin Xiaohua had never seen anything like this before. She trembled with fear, and a string of bubbles escaped her mouth.

Her breathing became erratic, her hands thrashed about frantically, and her face turned bright red; she was clearly about to drown.

Lin Yi had been waiting for this moment. Without further hesitation, he pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

As the oxygen flowed through her lips and teeth, Lin Xiaohua clung tightly to Lin Yi's neck, as if grasping at a lifeline, greedily inhaling the life-saving air.

Her mind was buzzing, she didn't know if it was from lack of oxygen or something else.

She could feel Lin Yi's tongue was a little restless; that tingling sensation spread from her lips and teeth to her ears, and then from her ears to her whole body.

Her heart was pounding so fast it felt like someone was drumming in her chest, and her face was so hot it felt like steam could rise from the water.

Soon, Lin Xiaohua's breathing stabilized.

The water-walking corpse suddenly opened its eyes at that moment, a low, strange sound came from its throat, and its body struggled violently, the iron chains rattling loudly.

But before it could make any attacking gesture, Lin Yi raised his hand and grabbed it.

An invisible force silently enveloped it, and the water-walking corpse only had time to let out half a roar before it was as if it had been grabbed by an invisible hand and disappeared from the spot.

It just so happens that Ah Qiang is still a lone commander, so recruiting another water zombie will be perfect for him to have as a subordinate.

Ten minutes later, Lin Yi brought Lin Xiaohua to the surface.

They emerged from the water in a small underground cave.

On the other side of the cave, there is a man-made stone staircase leading up to a relatively dry stone chamber.

Lin Yi carried Lin Xiaohua out of the water. The girl was soaking wet, and her thin summer shirt clung to her body, outlining her slender curves.

Her face was so red it looked like it was about to bleed, and her body was so weak she could barely stand, with most of her weight leaning on Lin Yi.

Just then, a dark figure suddenly emerged from the depths of the stone chamber, wielding a gleaming sword, and slashed down at Lin Yi's head.

The sword strike came with incredible speed, its sharp blade accompanied by a piercing sound that echoed throughout the cave.

Startled by this sudden turn of events, Lin Xiaohua screamed and her legs went weak, almost causing her to fall to the ground.

Lin Yi didn't even lift his eyelids. He pulled her into his arms with one hand, casually raised his other hand, and kicked the dark figure.

The dark figure was kicked and sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the stone wall, sending pebbles tumbling down.

It struggled to its feet, its sharp eyes fixed on Lin Yi, seemingly defiant.

It swung its sword again, this time with even greater force, the sword light drawing a bright silver arc.

Lin Yi stood there without dodging; he simply reached out and grabbed the sword that could cut through iron like mud.

The sword cut into his palm, but didn't even leave a white mark.

Qin Shi's expression changed drastically. He tried to pull the sword back with all his might, but the hilt was rooted to the spot in Lin Yi's hand, and no matter how hard he tried, it wouldn't budge.

It finally realized it had kicked a hornet's nest, loosened its grip on the hilt, staggered backward, and dared not make another move, a look of fear appearing in its eyes.

Its intelligence is no different from that of an ordinary human. It knows that its strength has degenerated to the level of an ordinary white zombie, but the sword in its hand is a demonic sword that can cut through iron like mud. Even a celestial master would never dare to catch it with his bare hands.

Such a person, even at their peak, might not be a match for you.

Lin Yi looked at its tattered imperial robes and asked with a half-smile, "Judging from your imperial attire, which emperor are you, anyway?"

The Qin corpse straightened up, his tone still carrying a hint of his former arrogance: "I am Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng!"

"Oh? Qin Shi Huang?"

The smile in Lin Yi's eyes instantly turned cold, and a dangerous aura emanated from her. "I'll give you one more chance to find the right words. Who exactly are you?"

Qin Shi froze, an unprecedented fear rising from the depths of his soul.

It knew that if it uttered even half a lie, the man before it would instantly vanish into thin air.

It finally stopped pretending and honestly replied, "I am Zhao Tuo, the founding emperor of Nanyue."

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow: "No wonder, you're wearing imperial robes in the style of the Han Dynasty."

"I'm giving you two choices now. One, die." Lin Yi held up one finger. "Two—"

Zhao Tuo interrupted him hastily before he could finish speaking: "I choose two! I choose two!"

"Knowing when to yield." Lin Yi chuckled lightly, flipped his hand, and put it into the Buddha Kingdom in his palm as well.

"It, it's gone?!" Lin Xiaohua stammered.

"Don't be afraid, this is a minor Buddhist spell, specifically used to collect zombies," Lin Yi said, patting her shoulder.

"Let's go inside and take a look; maybe there really is treasure."

Lin Yi, pulling the expectant Lin Xiaohua around a corner, finally arrived at the treasure trove.

Inside, there was a pile of gold, silver, jewels, antiques, and jade artifacts, the room shimmering with light and color, illuminating the dark underground palace as bright as day.

Lin Xiaohua gasped in shock, "So much gold, silver, and jewels!"
