Zombie World: Starting as an apprentice of the Thunder King

Si Mu slammed his hand on the table and shouted excitedly to Jia Le, "Jia Le! Go help Qing Qing fetch water next door again tomorrow!"

"Fill two large vats!"

"Did you hear me?"

Upon hearing this, Jiale came out of the kitchen, looking bewildered: "Master, didn't you tell me to go to the neighbor's house less often?"

"That was before!"

With a wave of his hand, Si Mu said, "Master has changed his mind. You can go ahead now!"

"The big vat is right there; let him carry it forever!"

Lin Bei sat beside him, smiling without saying a word.

Master Ikkyu, holding his teacup, had heard the entire conversation clearly.

He raised an eyebrow slightly: "Brother Dao, are you plotting something again?"

"Mind your own business, you old bald monk!"

Si Mu raised his chin, "I'm just concerned about the younger generation's lifelong happiness!"

"Amitabha, if you truly care about this junior's lifelong happiness, you might as well prepare that coffin first," Master Ikkyu replied with a smile.

"You...!" Si Mu slammed his hand on the table.

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Lin Bei quickly picked up his wine glass to smooth things over.

"Uncle-Master, Master Ikkyu, come, come, let's drink!"

"We're leaving tomorrow, so let's have a good drink tonight."

The two then stopped and each raised their wine glasses to clink together.

After several rounds of drinks and five courses of food,

Qingqing sat quietly in the corner from beginning to end, occasionally glancing up at Lin Bei.

She barely touched the chopsticks in her hand.

Lin Bei noticed her unusual behavior, but he didn't intend to investigate further.

He could vaguely sense Qingqing's thoughts, but the more he explained, the more complicated it became.

After the meal, Lin Bei and Shi Shaojian sat in the courtyard for a while.

Jiale ran over and sat down next to the two men: "Senior brothers, are you really leaving tomorrow?"

"real."

Lin Bei patted him on the shoulder, "Cultivate well, don't worry your martial uncle."

"And...be nicer to Qingqing."

Jiale was stunned for a moment, then blushed: "What are you saying, senior brother...?"

Shi Shaojian chuckled from the side, "This kid's skin is thicker than a city wall, yet he actually blushes?"

"Get out!" Jiale glared at him.

. . . . . .

It's late at night!

Lin Bei sat at the doorway, holding Xiao Bai Ling in his arms, staring blankly at the starry sky above.

Shi Shaojian walked over from next door and sat down next to him.

"Junior brother, what do you think Master is doing right now?"

Lin Bei was silent for a moment: "I don't know, but they definitely haven't been idle."

"I wonder where he is!" Shi Shaojian's tone was unusually worried.

"Don't you know your master? He can hold up the sky even if it falls down." Lin Bei had blind faith in Shi Jian!

Without the Heavenly Master, who can kill Shi Jian?

Even if the Celestial Master appears, isn't there still the ancestral master of the underworld?

Therefore, Lin Bei wasn't flustered at all!

The next morning!

As dawn broke, Lin Bei and Shi Shaojian had already packed their belongings.

Lin Bei put Bai Ling in his arms, and the little fox poked its head out and looked around!

"Uncle-Master, Master Ikkyu, we'll meet again someday!" Lin Beichao bowed to Ikkyu.

"Lin Bei! Your martial uncle knows you have your own pride!"

Si Mu said earnestly, "However, when you venture out into the world, always remember not to be misled by what's in front of you. The only people you can trust are your own people!"

"Never let worldly desires disturb your resolve to follow the Dao!"

Lin Bei laughed heartily: "Disrupt my Dao heart?"

"My goal, Lin Bei, is to become an immortal and a progenitor!"

"As for matters of the heart, they are as fleeting as clouds to me!"

"Okay, that's enough!"

Four Eyes chuckled, "Uncle-Master, we'll be waiting for the day you become an immortal!"

Master Ikkyu, who was standing nearby, was twirling his prayer beads and said with a smile, "Brother Four Eyes, it's rare to hear you say something so insightful."

"screw you."

Si Mu glared at him. "I'm talking to my own junior apprentice, what right do you have to interrupt?"

The two exchanged a few more words, which lightened the atmosphere considerably.

Lin Bei and the other man turned around and strode out of the dojo.

Qingqing stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching Lin Bei's departing figure.

I couldn't help but take two steps forward, then abruptly stopped.

Master Ikkyu stood behind her and whispered a Buddhist chant: "Amitabha, worldly relationships are impermanent, and cannot be forced."

Qingqing remained silent for a long time before finally nodding gently: "Master, I understand."

Jiale, being naive, didn't see anything at all!

After Lin Bei and his companion had gone some distance, Shi Shaojian couldn't help but say, "Junior brother, I think Qingqing has a thing for you!"

"Jiale...you're so pitiful!"

"I know, that's why I want to leave as soon as possible!"

Lin Bei shook his head and said, "Women will only hinder my path!"

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Shi Shaojian sighed inwardly!

. . . . . .

After walking for about ten miles, Shi Shaojian couldn't help but ask, "Junior brother, where are we going?"

Lin Bei paused, turned around and glanced at him: "You're asking me?"

"Otherwise what?"

Shi Shaojian's eyes widened. "You've been walking so enthusiastically the whole way; I thought you knew!"

"I don't know."

"You didn't know? Then why did you leave so decisively!"

Lin Bei rolled his eyes: "Otherwise what? Do you have a destination in mind?"

Shi Shaojian was speechless: "I...I didn't."

"Then what did you ask?"

Lin Bei continued walking, thinking, "I'll just go wherever it takes me!"

"Now that we're out here, let's travel around and broaden our horizons!"

In the days that followed, the two traveled at a leisurely pace, enduring hardships and sleeping outdoors.

More than a month passed in this aimless travel.

That day, a small town appeared in their sights ahead.

The town is small, but it has everything you need.

There are several shops on the street, selling all kinds of things.

"Let's find a place to rest and have something to eat."

Lin Bei pointed to a small shop on the roadside with a sign that read "Old Liu's Noodle Shop".

The two of them had been living in the open for so long, eating wild fruits every day, and they looked like savages!

Upon entering, they each ordered a large bowl of hot soup noodles and began to eat heartily.

Bai Ling smelled the fragrance and poked her head out of the bundle.

But Lin Bei pressed it back down with one hand: "You're too young, you can't eat this."

Bai Ling cried out in grievance and shrank back into her bundle without making a sound.

After finishing their noodles and paying the bill, the two bought some dry food and water in town and continued on their way.

For the next few days, the two wandered aimlessly along the official road.

Travel during the day and find inns or deep mountains to rest at night.

On the road, he occasionally encountered a few wandering ghosts, which Shi Shaojian used for practice.

This guy's Bagua sword technique became more and more proficient, and when combined with the wooden stake technique, it was more than enough to deal with those little devils under a hundred years old.

This guy immediately got a little carried away and even showed off to Lin Bei!

"Look at you, so pathetic. A mere hundred-year-old brat, is that all it takes to make you this happy?"

"Once I've thoroughly researched my Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Talisman Array, I'll show you how powerful it is!"

Shi Shaojian paused in his tracks: "A rune array? The one you forced to use last time, almost burning your brain out?"

"...Could you please not put it so harshly?"

"I'm telling the truth."

Shi Shaojian couldn't help but laugh, "With blood flowing from your seven orifices, my uncle and I both thought you were about to die."

Lin Bei chuckled awkwardly, "That time it was forced, and it wasn't tested."

"I have been practicing with the yellow talisman repeatedly during this period and have mastered the basic method of casting it."

"Although its power is far less than the blue rune version, at least it can be used reliably now."

"Not only that, I also want to incorporate the wooden stake technique into it."

Lin Bei became more and more excited as he spoke: "Thunder talismans are used for main attacks, fire talismans for sealing off, and wooden stakes are used to trap the target."

"The combined power of thunder, fire, and wood is not simply an addition."

"I call it the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Netherworld Formation!"

"The combination of lightning and fire, along with the wooden stakes, forms a complete containment and attack system, trapping enemies within its ranks and sealing their fate!"

Shi Shaojian listened, his mind going blank: "It sounds pretty impressive."

Lin Bei smiled proudly: "Of course!"
