I am Jinshan Youxia

Anyway, the goal this time is to catch enough female ghosts, find a place to sleep and evolve, and then see what happens.

It's best to upgrade first and then show off.

The Tree Demon Granny can't escape again; she's still at Lanruo Temple in the third movie. Clearly, neither the monks nor the temple can run away. After she's upgraded, she'll come back and kill the Tree Demon.

Yan Chixia was ready to strike, having even opened his third eye, but what he saw was not the evil magic that devoured ghosts, but a zombie stuffing ghosts into its body.

This is tantamount to locking a thief who steals jade and perfume in the same cage as his own wife.

I couldn't figure it out for him all at once.

One person, one demon, and one zombie passed by peacefully for more than ten seconds. After all the female ghosts were swallowed, Zhang Chengyi stretched out his hand and said, "Hand over their ashes."

"?"

The Tree Demon Granny was also a little confused by the zombie's actions, but she still obediently sent the ashes from underground to the surface.

"Can I borrow a bag? Don't you have any common sense? How am I supposed to carry so many urns? Besides, am I a zombie? Are you stupid?"

Zhang Chengyi reached out his hand again.

The tree demon grandmother's anger flared up instantly, but she still swallowed her anger and sent over a large bag.

Zhang Chengyi used a tree branch to lift the bag, then picked up the urns one by one, reached out and grabbed the bag opening, and as the urns fell, the tree branch skillfully caught them and put them into the bag.

The fragile branch fell neatly into the bag with a masterful effortless dissipation technique, without making a sound at all.

The tree demon grandmother didn't recognize its value, but Yan Chixia's eyes lit up.

"Let's go." Zhang Chengyi picked up the bag and jumped off in a random direction.

Yan Chixia followed closely behind.

Seeing them leave, the Tree Demon Granny revealed a mocking expression.

Sending away the female ghost wasn't just about getting rid of the plague god; the female ghost was Nie Xiaoqian, the Black Mountain Demon's betrothed and yet-to-be-married wife. If the Black Mountain Demon ate Nie Xiaoqian, he wouldn't let this zombie go.

Its body gradually sank into the ground, and its pair of eyes, filled with malice and resentment, slowly closed.

One hundred years, one hundred years.

-----------------

"The old monster must have other plans. You must be careful."

"Follow the zombies," Yan Chixia reminded him.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Zhang Chengyi said casually. He had guessed what the Tree Demon Granny was thinking: to lure the Black Mountain Demon over.

Nie Xiaoqian is inside his body. It's definitely impossible for the Black Mountain Demon to summon ghosts to the underworld through the underworld like in the movies.

No one can steal anything from a modder.

But he was truly unafraid of the Black Mountain Demon.

With lightning striking him, human sorcerers and Taoist priests might be somewhat afraid of him because his body is that of a zombie, but demons and evil spirits simply cannot touch him.

The tree demon did not deliberately stop them from leaving, and the man and the corpse quickly walked out of the forest.

Zhang Chengyi turned around and asked, "Why are you following me?"

Yan Chixia hesitated for a moment and said, "If one day you bring disaster to the world, I will definitely help you pass on to the afterlife."

In fact, judging from his past behavior, he should have already taken action. The existence of zombies is a source of suffering; killing them with a single sword and sending them to the afterlife would be the best thing for them.

But the zombie in front of him was beyond his knowledge, and its ruthless killing was both unreasonable and somewhat contradictory.

So he uttered this harsh remark, which wasn't particularly harsh in tone.

Zhang Chengyi smiled, relieved that they could avoid taking action. "Then, I hope we can meet again someday."

At this moment, it was past the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), and soon it would be dawn. Without further hesitation, he activated his corpse energy, leaped three feet high, and quickly disappeared into the night.

"..."

"I don't know if I'm right or wrong."

Yan Chixia sighed.

Chapter 229 Waking up from a nap

Two weeks later, late at night, in a remote mountain forest.

"Finally, things have calmed down."

Zhang Chengyi waited and waited, but no one from the underworld came to cause him trouble again.

The Black Mountain Demon was indeed plotting just like the Tree Demon Granny, trying every means to get revenge. From strange ghosts to groups of monsters, and even human Taoist priests and evil sorcerers who had come to join them, they engaged in direct combat, sneak attacks, exorcisms, evil magic, and even curses.

But none of it worked. After the heavenly lightning cleansed everything, all spells and curses were wiped out. Normally, even zombies would be wiped out.

The modifier is completely unreasonable. It formats everyone together, and I'm an undeletable virus. What can you do about it?

no way.

Unable to leave the underworld, the Black Mountain Demon sent people who were either struck by lightning or fled without success. Frustrated, it summoned a large number of ghost messengers and yakshas, ​​but after searching for a long time, it failed to find anything. The moment its whereabouts were exposed, a whole group of them were electrocuted.

Several days passed quietly after that.

Only today, when the female ghosts' "soul-stealing" state within Zhang Chengyi's body disappeared, did he realize that the matter should be temporarily resolved.

There's no way around it. If there's some kind of magic to target him, the heavenly lightning will clear him out in an instant. But he can't just use heavenly lightning on all the female ghosts. Locking them in won't kill them, but who knows if the female ghosts can withstand the heavenly lightning and not become stupid? There's a female ghost named Xiaoqing who was grazed by heavenly lightning before and still can't speak properly.

"Once I become stronger, I'll wipe you all out, one by one..."

Zhang Chengyi added the Tree Demon Granny, the Black Mountain Demon, and even the Underworld to his blacklist.

What the hell is this? It's utterly disgusting.

However, the most important thing right now is to strengthen ourselves and evolve quickly.

Without further hesitation, he found a cave where the bears were exceptionally polite. Upon his arrival, they even offered their sleeping wife as a gift to the guest.

The mother bear didn't seem too happy about it.

Zhang Chengyi chased away the overly enthusiastic mother bear, released his yin energy to blow away all kinds of garbage on the ground and ventilate the area, then dug a pit deep in the cave, buried himself in it, and increased the corpse energy.

Sleepiness surged up instantly, and the female ghosts inside him were all fast asleep. He closed his eyes and quickly entered a deep state of hibernation.

The aura of death gradually seeped into his body, and then—

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

His body crackled with electricity, and the damp cave soil, moist with moisture, quickly spread the current to the surface, illuminating the entire cave with a faint glow within seconds.

Under normal circumstances, such a small amount of heavenly lightning colliding with and overflowing with yin energy should have disappeared quickly, but the number of heavenly lightning bolts was locked.

The evolution of the corpse energy's pervasive influence on the body has stalled. Theoretically, it cannot be dispelled by heavenly lightning, and the corpse energy should have dissipated, but it has also been locked in place.

What do you do when there's a bug? Just keep running, what else can you do? They're just two forces of different natures, working according to the logic of energy in the zombie's body. They don't have brains, and this world doesn't have any strange setting where good and evil energies merge to create something new.

Thus, while the corpse was being electrocuted and convulsing wildly, it was also being repaired by the corpse energy and undergoing a complete evolution.

The corpse energy continued to penetrate and infiltrate the body regardless of the consequences, though the progress had slowed considerably. As usual, the heavenly lightning continued to interfere wildly, but it was still ongoing nonetheless.

Zhang Chengyi closed his eyes and saw that the evolution time displayed in the status bar was two years. Without investigating why it was two years, he directly used his main body as a fulcrum and used the speed gear to accelerate the world and the zombie body together.

With precise timing, he could accurately adjust the gears, and in his mind, he would return to restart the game after a short while.

He had no idea how much suffering his body had endured in between.

"Snapped!"

"I, Hu Hansan, am back!" Zhang Chengyi burst out of the ground, the air crackling and popping. He shook off pieces of bright yellow sequins from his body and looked around with great spirit. Under the long-term lightning strikes, the soil in the entire cave had been electrified into smooth surfaces of various colors, shimmering with colorful light, making it look like a cave paved with gemstones.

[Lightning resistance (weak)]

He glanced at the status bar and was immediately satisfied to see that he had lightning resistance. In his mind, evolution was already linked to increasing lightning resistance.

From then on, the Heavenly Thunder Burning Body move can be enhanced through repeated evolutions.

From a certain perspective, it seems like there's no problem.

"My joints seem to have softened a bit, my muscles aren't as stiff, and most importantly, I've started to grow new skin."

Zhang Chengyi felt all the good news. He straightened his legs and tried to walk outside like a human, but his body trembled with every step. He looked even more impressive than Wu Lao Er, who had suffered a cerebral thrombosis.

"What the hell is going on?"

His face was full of question marks. Even if he didn't walk, jumping would make a difference. Every time he jumped, his whole body would tremble, as if the corpse energy had some serious illness.

-----------------

Lanruo Temple.

"Yan Chixia!"

"Brother Xiahou, you've come again."

Yan Chixia looked at Xiahou the swordsman charging towards him with his sword and felt a headache coming on. It seemed that this place was no longer a safe place to stay.

Two years ago, after that strange zombie left, the Tree Demon Granny fell into a deep sleep. He was living a good life, and Lanruo Temple was especially quiet. There were no more demons or monsters around. As a result, Xiahou Swordsman came to challenge him. The two were originally not much different in swordsmanship, but he learned some techniques from the zombie and used these techniques to easily win within a hundred moves.

Every so often, Xiahou the swordsman would come to challenge him, using the battles to hone his skills and learn new sword techniques.

Yan Chixia initially found it quite interesting, sparring with each other and constantly improving. In just a few months, he had mastered all the skills he had learned from the zombies. If he were to face a zombie again, he felt that he might not necessarily lose, well, at least he wouldn't lose so badly.

Xiahou the swordsman also had a high talent for swordsmanship and learned very quickly. After a year of defeats, he finally managed to draw once.

Logically, having learned something new, one should either go out and make a name for oneself or sell one's skills to the emperor.

But Xiahou the swordsman's illness relapsed, and he kept chasing after him every day, wanting to settle the score and prove that he was the strongest.

As a result, the two of them stubbornly competed in this deep mountain forest for a full two years.

"when!"

Their swords clashed again, but their techniques, all derived from a single corpse, were completely ineffective against each other.

Yan Chixia said with a hint of helplessness, "Brother Xiahou, why do you have to stay here with me?"

"Enough with the nonsense!" Xiahou the swordsman thrust his sword forward.

Just as Yan Chixia was about to respond, he suddenly sensed the aura of death. He stepped back to the roof and said, "Wait, Brother Xiahou, something is coming."
