I am Jinshan Youxia

Zhi Qiu Yi Ye didn't argue anymore. She opened her eyes, her face showing some shame, and looked at Zhang Cheng Yi, saying, "Why didn't you kill me?"

Why should I kill you?

Zhang Chengyi countered with a question.

"Master, kill him quickly and do justice for me!" Xiaoqing cried out, her face full of grievance, finally breaking free from the immobilization spell.

Zhang Chengyi exhaled a mouthful of corpse gas, causing Xiao Qing to stumble. He said, "How many times have I told you not to be so quick to shout for violence? If you don't change your temper, you can take your ashes and get out of here now."

The female ghosts under the Tree Demon Granny's command had been aiding and abetting evil for a long time, and they all had bad tempers. They were full of bloodshed and it was unknown when they would be able to reincarnate.

If they don't cultivate their character and temperament, according to Yan Chixia, they will sooner or later be blinded by karma and karmic obstacles.

Chapter 233 A Great Calamity Is Approaching?

"The world is vast and full of wonders. I never imagined there would be someone as kind as you, hmm..."

Zhi Qiu Yi Ye felt extremely uncomfortable and paused for a while before finally uttering the word: "zombie."

This completely defied his common sense from childhood to university, his experience of slaying demons and monsters after descending the mountain, and the strange ideas he had left in his mind.

Zombies not only wield heavenly lightning, but also take in wandering ghosts and spirits, advising them not to commit evil deeds or harass humans.

Arabian Nights.

It sucks blood, it kills, it spreads fear, but is it a good corpse?

Could this old devil be hiding some kind of conspiracy? Master also mentioned, well…

Before the Duke of Zhou fled, Wang Mang was terrified by the rumors.

Was there a senior named Duke Zhou who was famous for having diarrhea?

Although Zhi Qiu Yi Ye greatly admired scholars and poets, he had a deep-seated resistance to learning anything other than Taoist arts since childhood. Rather than studying thick books, he preferred to learn a few Taoist techniques and think about how to slay demons and monsters.

He was thinking in a daze, making preparations to rescue Yan Chixia, who was suspected of being deceived.

Zhang Chengyi waved his hand and said, "These are all trivial matters." He asked curiously, "How much do you know about the underworld and all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens?"

Yan Chixia's own cultivation was a mess. He claimed to be a Taoist, but he kept chanting Buddhist mantras like Prajna Paramita. His treasure was the Diamond Sutra, and he also knew some kind of sword control technique. He was not on the right path.

When it comes to the underworld and all the gods and Buddhas in the heavens, I feel like I know nothing about it.

Why, even though there are gods and Buddhas, has the world turned into this chaotic state? Where are the righteous gods of the underworld? Where is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva? How come the City of the Wrongfully Dead has been occupied by the Black Mountain Demon?

Zhang Chengyi blurted out all his questions.

Zhi Qiu Yi Ye scratched the back of his head and said, "I'm not quite sure either."

"However, my master said that the patriarch said that a great calamity is coming, and external demons will invade. The world will be lost and no god or Buddha can change it."

"The gods and Buddhas should have left long ago."

"I don't know much about the others either."

"Huh?" Zhang Chengyi was stunned. What kind of great calamity, external demons, and world destruction would the world of A Chinese Ghost Story have in the future?

The gods and Buddhas escaped so smoothly, they didn't even put up any resistance?

He couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "If you don't understand, then what about your master? Could you introduce me to him?"

Zhi Qiu Yi Ye spread his hands and said, "The Patriarch said that the Kunlun Sect was afflicted by calamity, so I took the initiative to ask to go down the mountain to face the calamity. My master and the others ascended to heaven before I went down the mountain, in response to the Patriarch's call."

As expected of a sect that can communicate with its founder who is a deity, they really know how fast they can run away.

"Don't you feel it's unfair that you were left behind?" Zhang Chengyi asked with interest.

Zhi Qiu Yi Ye seemed completely unconcerned, saying, "Anyway, someone has to face the calamity, so why can't it be me? Besides, I came down the mountain to act on behalf of Heaven, punish evil and promote good, and slay demons and monsters."

He said that quite fluently.

Yan Chixia looked at Zhi Qiu Yiye with the eyes of someone looking at a fool, and said, "I think when the external demons invade, you'll be the first hothead to be killed."

"If it is for the sake of justice and morality, there is nothing wrong with sacrificing oneself."

Zhi Qiu Yi Ye solemnly said.

He is the kind of person who would sacrifice himself for justice.

"Hmph~" Yan Chixia turned his face away. This guy may have been full of disappointment with everything in the world, but in reality, he could be moved to tears by Ning Caichen. If it were a fearless young man, he would be holding back his emotions and not letting his eyes well up with tears.

Therefore, being arrogant isn't always the exclusive domain of girls with pigtails; it can also be a slovenly old man with a big beard.

"Haha~" Zhang Chengyi laughed out loud.

Zhi Qiu Yi Ye laughed, somewhat bewildered. He secretly kept the zombie's every move in mind, hoping to expose the demon's mask as soon as possible.

Slay demons and monsters, and save our fellow practitioners!

Yan Chixia found the mocking laughter particularly grating. He turned back with a stern face and said, "Since you know we won't kill you, why don't you get lost?"

Zhi Qiu Yi Ye was determined to 'save' the other person and was unwilling to leave, saying, "I have nothing to my name and nowhere to stay, could you...?"

"No, get out of here." Yan Chixia interrupted him. "The rooms at Lanruo Temple are all full. You'll only be able to sleep outside if you come."

"Get lost."

Zhang Chengyi watched the spectacle with great interest from the sidelines; as an observer, he could see everything clearly.

The bearded Yan Chixia didn't want to associate with a hothead full of ideals. It was simply because Yan Chixia himself was like that at heart. Disillusionment with the world didn't mean he had no ideals. He was afraid of being infected by them and crashing headlong into this filthy world.

They were blinded by their own involvement, thinking they simply disliked the other person's pretentiousness.

Zhi Qiu Yi Ye had no other thoughts than to share a common fate, genuinely believing that zombies were evil beings—

That's true. Normal zombies aren't anything good. Their vampire instincts alone, which can confuse their minds, are enough to make them do evil.

Zhang Chengyi knew why one of them insisted on the other leaving and the other insisted on staying. The solution wasn't difficult; he just needed to clarify that he wasn't some wicked monster.

But why did he need to clarify?

Isn't it better to just watch the excitement?

Zhi Qiu Yi Ye didn't care about Yan Chi Xia's driving away. He casually found a relatively clean open space, lay down on the spot, and said, "I'm used to sleeping under the open sky and eating the wind and dew in the wild. This small space is enough for me."

Dog skin plaster!

Yan Chixia cursed under his breath, turned to look at Zhang Chengyi who was smiling, and felt a chill run down his spine. He flicked his sleeve and turned away angrily.

"Go and fetch bedding for this young Taoist priest."

Zhang Chengyi, on the other hand, acted as if he were in charge, displaying a very magnanimous demeanor.

"Yes, sir." The two female ghosts, who had once served as maids, bowed before drifting away.

Before long, a bed of bedding in the room was gently placed in front of Zhi Qiu Yi Ye under the control of the female ghost.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these female ghosts can be frozen in place by Zhi Qiu Yi Ye's magic. This magic is actually quite powerful; in the movie, even the ghost himself couldn't move when frozen in place.

After the female ghosts merged with Zhang Chengyi's soul, they were all at a mid-level among the Black Mountain Demon's subordinates. They possessed various ghostly abilities, such as telekinesis, illusion, wall-passing, and invisibility. They were no longer the wandering ghosts who could only lure ordinary people.

It would only take a minute to harm someone.

They need to be restrained, otherwise they'll commit evil deeds and harm humanity, and wouldn't that be all my fault?

Zhang Chengyi thought to himself that it wasn't that he had any reverence for karma or cause and effect; he simply didn't like causing innocent people to suffer because of him.

Among these female ghosts, Xiaoqing appears to benefit the most from the union of souls, but in reality, the unassuming Nie Xiaoqian is probably the strongest.

The Tree Demon Granny has a good eye; the female ghosts she favors are all quite talented at being ghosts.

Let Nie Xiaoqian keep an eye on them for now, but unfortunately...

Unfortunately, Nie Xiaoqian was determined to be reincarnated, so she would not remain a ghost for long.

Chapter 234 Would you be willing to die?

The next day, noon.

Zhang Chengyi was asleep when he heard a crackling sound inside and was suddenly awakened. He then heard two voices talking outside.

"Fellow Daoist, what do you think of my magic?"

"Fool, you're doing this..."

Damn it, that dog Yan Chixia, yesterday he was giving people the cold shoulder, but today he's all over them chatting and pointing fingers.

Zhang Chengyi cursed. Even through a wooden building, several layers of gauze, and a coffin, the corpse energy within him was completely lifeless, and he felt extremely drowsy.

Last night—no, it was early this morning—the female ghosts merged with his soul and are now sleeping soundly inside his body, while he can't sleep.

The world is so big, he wants to see it.

It's not about the Ming Dynasty; other bodies have been to the Ming Dynasty before, and I'm extremely familiar with Earth, but it's about gods and Buddhas.

The thought of a world where gods and Buddhas exist fills him with curiosity.

What would the gods and Buddhas look like in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story? What's the story behind the movie?

He couldn't get involved in any of the countless interesting stories; it felt like a cunning little cat was teasing his heart with its tiny paws.

"No, I need to go and see what's going on with those gods and Buddhas."

Zhang Chengyi set his second goal.

The first goal, of course, is to continue sleeping, to have a good sleep, to sleep until I am invincible, to kill the Tree Demon Granny, to kill the Black Mountain Demon, to be able to ignore sunlight, and to ignore all other messy restraints without relying on heavenly lightning.

The road ahead is long.

Zhang Chengyi's original idea of ​​sleeping whenever he wanted completely vanished at this moment.

He managed to sleep until nightfall, then crawled out of the coffin and directed the female ghosts to find more female ghosts, just in case.

Then he went outside and saw Yan Chixia and Zhi Qiu Yiye sitting in front of the campfire, eating meat and warming themselves by the fire. He had a stern face, picked up a tree branch, and said, "Come on, you two, have a swordsmanship spar with me."

"Okay."

Zhi Qiu Yi Ye readily agreed and excitedly picked up a branch. He had heard Yan Chi Xia talk about how superb the zombie's swordsmanship was all day, and he wanted to experience it for himself.

"Senior, isn't this really unnecessary?"

Yan Chixia repeatedly gave him meaningful glances. He had no intention of being tortured. Over the course of a year, both he and Xiahou the swordsman had lost their competitive spirit in sword fighting.

No matter how strong someone is, if they are unilaterally and endlessly crushed in a swordsmanship contest, they will eventually despair.
