Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

After the villagers finished greeting Xiao Shan, Mao Xiaofang introduced Xiao Shan to his two apprentices: "Achu, Xiaohai, this is my good friend, Master Xiao. You can call him Uncle Xiao!"

Upon hearing Mao Xiaofang's words, Yu Dachu and Ahai naturally stepped forward to pay their respects.

After getting acquainted, Xiao Shan looked at Mao Xiaofang and asked, "Master Mao, what are your plans for dealing with the Ghost Empress Dowager's matter?"

"Group owner, I've finished watching the video. I'm going to do some preparatory work first," Mao Xiaofang said to Xiao Shan after thinking for a moment.

Xiao Shan naturally had no objection to Mao Xiaofang's idea, so he nodded.

By this time, the villagers had finished cleaning up the zombie's body.

Mao Xiaofang looked at everyone and said, "Let's leave today's matter for now. You can all go back and rest. We'll discuss the follow-up matters tomorrow."

The villagers nodded in agreement and then dispersed.

Watching the villagers leave, Xiao Shan followed Mao Xiaofang back to the Fuxi Hall.

Mao Xiaofang arranged a guest room for Xiao Shan and then went to prepare talismans to deal with the zombies.

Inside the guest room, Xiao Shan attempted to cultivate.

It turned out that the cultivation progress in this world was much faster than in the courtyard world, which was incredibly addictive.

Xiao Shan only ended his cultivation session reluctantly when Yu Dachu came to call him for dinner.

Led by Yu Dachu, Xiao Shan went to the side hall of Fuxi Hall for a meal.

Because of the recent zombie outbreak, the incense at Fuxi Temple has become much more popular, with many people coming to pray for peace.

Xiaoshan also saw black roses and small shrimp.

Little Shrimp is a reincarnated spiritual child, but he has not yet awakened the wisdom of his past life.

"Group leader, there are many zombies in Cixi's tomb. We're afraid we'll have to trouble you." Mao Xiaofang said to Xiao Shan.

"It's no trouble at all. I came here specifically to help you!" Xiao Shan said with a smile.

During the meal, Yu Dachu said to Mao Xiaofang, "Master, we saw a wild girl in the woods a couple of days ago."

“That’s your senior uncle’s daughter. Your senior uncle should be back soon.” Having seen the video, Mao Xiaofang naturally knew who she was.

Xiao Hai, who was standing nearby, asked curiously, "Master, why have I never heard you mention my senior uncle? Is he powerful?"

"You'll find out when the time comes," Mao Xiaofang said without elaborating.

"Master Mao, when do we set off regarding that zombie tomb?" Xiao Shan asked while eating.

Xiao Shan knew very well that he was there to help, so he could leave the decision-making to Mao Xiaofang.

"Let's talk about it in a couple of days. Let Black Rose learn a lesson too. We'll just keep an eye on things in town for the next couple of days," Mao Xiaofang said after thinking for a moment.

Yu Dachu sighed and said, "The Japanese invaders have only just been driven out, and it seems that war is about to break out in the country again."

"Where did you hear that there's going to be another war? Didn't we just finish fighting the Japanese?" Xiao Hai asked, somewhat puzzled.

"The newspapers say that two tigers cannot share one mountain; they'll fight sooner or later," Yu Dachu sighed.

"Eat your food properly. Having food to eat won't shut you up." Mao Xiaofang glared at Yu Dachu. "After you finish eating, tell the villagers to prepare more glutinous rice and tell them it's for preventing zombies. It can't be adulterated."

Yu Dachu and Xiao Hai readily agreed, and their eating speed increased.

After watching the two leave, Mao Xiaofang led Xiao Shan to offer incense to the founders of Maoshan.

In Gantian Town, because Black Rose stole the Youth-Preserving Pearl, the Ghost Empress sent out many zombies to search for it.

Mao Xiaofang and his apprentices were actively preparing to use talismans to exorcise zombies.

Thanks to Yu Dachu and Xiao Hai's reminder, every household in the village prepared glutinous rice.

That very night, the ghost empress dowager appeared with more than a dozen zombie guards and led Xiaoxiaomi into the tomb.

In order to rescue Xiaoxiami, Black Rose sneaked into the tomb but was captured by zombies and became Xiaoxiami's maid.

Xiao Shan's divine sense enveloped the benevolent underground palace as he ate melon seeds and watched the spectacle unfold.

The little shrimp was treated as her beloved grandson by the ghost empress dowager, who was already dead and unaware that her Qing Dynasty had already fallen.

"Group owner, we are all ready!" Mao Xiaofang found Xiao Shan and said to him.

Mao Xiaofang and his team prepared for three days, drawing a thick stack of corpse-suppressing talismans and five-thunder talismans, about a hundred in total.

In addition, Mao Xiaofang asked the villagers to help paint the tomb door of Empress Dowager Cixi red, which disrupted the feng shui layout of the tomb.

Xiao Shan watched from the sidelines, waiting for Mao Xiaofang's performance.

"Achu, Ahai, it's time to go!" Mao Xiaofang glanced at the sky and said to his two apprentices.

Xiao Shan immediately took out a powerful flashlight to provide illumination for Mao Xiaofang and the others.

Mao Xiaofang's cultivation level is high, and he can already see in the dark, but A Chu and Xiao Hai cannot, because their cultivation level is not high enough.

After the warlords' previous looting, there were no treasures left in the underground palace, and the traps and mechanisms had been destroyed by Mao Xiaofang and his group.

Chapter 677, Defeating the Ghost Empress Dowager! (Please subscribe!)

Xiao Shan followed Mao Xiaofang and the other two into the underground palace, his divine sense already enveloping the entire palace.

The more than one hundred guards of the Ghost Empress were all resting in their respective coffins.

Little Shrimp and Black Rose were forced to play house.

The two were now deathly pale, clearly indicating that they had both been infected by the corpse poison.

Xiao Shan followed behind Mao Xiaofang. The zombies guarding the various intersections were easily dealt with by Mao Xiaofang, without Xiao Shan needing to lift a finger.

The underground palace was built according to the imperial palace. Little Shrimp was dressed in a dragon robe, while Black Rose was dressed as a palace maid. The Empress Dowager looked at Little Shrimp with eyes full of doting affection.

Xiao Shan, together with Mao Xiaofang and the others, first cleared out the zombie soldiers.

Upon entering the main hall of the underground palace, one hundred and eight zombie guards were already on high alert.

Faced with the charging zombies, with Xiao Shan's assistance, Mao Xiaofang wielded a century-old peach wood sword, piercing the chests of the zombies one by one.

The zombies turned into zombies because of a pent-up resentment. Mao Xiaofang cut open the zombies' chests to release their zombie energy.

Zombies are called vengeful spirits. They are not included in the Three Realms and Six Paths of Reincarnation. They are abandoned by both heaven and man and have no chance of reincarnation.

After Xiao Shan restricted their movements, the zombies became as still as wooden stakes.

Mao Xiaofang felt that this was the easiest time he had ever dealt with zombies.

You can stand still and deal damage without having to worry about bad teammates.

Inside the main hall, Xiao Xiami sat nervously on the dragon throne.

Beside her stood the Ghost Empress Dowager, her face grim, holding a genie in her hand. Black Rose stood trembling beside her.

"Rose, little shrimp, come here right now!" Mao Xiaofang called out to the two of them.

"Mao Xiaofang, quickly save Xiaoxia!" Black Rose shouted to Mao Xiaofang.

Xiao Shan used the teleportation talisman to appear next to the Ghost Empress, took the magic lamp from her hand, and kicked her into the wall.

The Ghost Empress struggled to climb out of the wall. Her clothes were mostly torn from the violent impact, and she looked extremely disheveled.

Mao Xiaofang took out a handful of Five Thunder Talismans and quickly threw them at the Ghost Empress Dowager, producing a continuous crackling sound of thunder.

Xiao Shan then began reciting the Lotus Sutra to pray for the souls of the deceased buried in the tomb.

The Ghost Empress Dowager was reduced to ashes by more than a dozen Five Thunder Talismans. She probably never knew until her death that the Qing Dynasty had already perished.

After the group left the ancient tomb, Xiao Shan set the underground palace ablaze.

The zombies' corpses were set ablaze and turned to ashes in the inferno.

"Group leader, we were able to successfully eliminate the zombies this time thanks to your help," Mao Xiaofang said gratefully to Xiao Shan.

“We’re all friends in the same group, no need to be so polite,” Xiao Shan said to Mao Xiaofang with a smile.

At this moment, Little Shrimp and Black Rose also came over.

Little Shrimp looked still somewhat shaken, while Black Rose looked guilty.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble," Black Rose said, bowing her head.

Mao Xiaofang sighed: "It's alright, just don't be so reckless next time! Also, get some sunshine to dispel the yin energy from your bodies!"

"You've been in the tomb for a long time, so you're bound to have some corpse poison on your bodies. You can wash your bodies with rice water from rinsing glutinous rice, and it's best to soak in it to dispel the corpse poison."

Then Mao Xiaofang asked Xiao Shan, "Group leader, what are you going to do with that genie?"

“The genie’s magic is not weak, but power has no right or wrong. It is good when used for good, and good and evil are just a thought away! Master Mao, you may be able to use it to subdue demons and monsters along the way. Why don’t you keep it safe?” Xiao Shan said to Mao Xiaofang after thinking for a moment.

Upon hearing Xiao Shan's words, Mao Xiaofang pondered for a moment before nodding.

Back at Fuxi Hall, Mao Xiaofang asked Xiao Shan, "Group Leader, the Blood Demon's resurrection requires the reconstruction of his four Dharma Bodies. Can we destroy his Dharma Bodies before he is resurrected?"

"It should be possible! We just need to find the sealed item and then list it for sale on the group's online store," Xiao Shan said after thinking for a moment.

The group store allows you to recycle items belonging to group members.

A mere Blood Demon shouldn't be able to withstand the group shop's recycling.

The next day, Xiao Shan was cultivating in the courtyard when Yu Dachu came over, accompanied by a young girl, who was none other than Lei Xiu from the story.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao, can you save my little white snake?" Lei Xiu took out a sickly-looking white snake and asked Xiao Shan.

Clearly, this was Yu Dachu who told Lei Xiu to come and ask Xiao Shan for help.

Xiao Shan took the white snake and examined it.

Its cultivation level had been completely destroyed by Mao Xiaofang.

Xiao Shan gave it a bottle of healing potion he had bought from the chat group's shop, and the sickly white snake quickly became energetic again.

However, it will have to rebuild its cultivation level on its own.

"Its injuries will heal quickly, but as for its cultivation level, it'll have to rebuild it on its own!" Xiao Shan handed the white snake to Lei Xiu. "Has your father returned from Southeast Asia yet?"

Before Lei Xiu could answer his question, Xiao Hai ran over: "Uncle-Master Xiao, Master requests your presence."

Xiao Shan nodded, then said to Lei Xiu and Yu Dachu, "I'll go see what's going on!"

When Xiao Shan and Xiao Hai found Mao Xiaofang, he was tinkering with two bronze statues, which were one of the Blood Demon's manifestations.

"Master Mao, why not bring the other two Blood Magic Bodies as well?" Xiao Shan asked Mao Xiaofang, looking at the two bronze statues.

"Group leader, it's best to teach those people a lesson, otherwise they'll become arrogant and cause trouble sooner or later!" Mao Xiaofang said to Xiao Shan. "Now that we've broken two of their Dharma bodies, dealing with the Blood Demon will be much easier for us!"

As he spoke, Mao Xiaofang directly traded the two Blood Magic Bodies to the chat group's marketplace.

Then Xiao Shan saw a look of shock on Mao Xiaofang's face.

"What? Is this Blood Magic Body very valuable?" Xiao Shan asked with a smile.

Mao Xiaofang nodded and said seriously, "Yes, they're very valuable! Thirty thousand points each!"

After a slight pause, Mao Xiaofang looked at Xiao Shan with some curiosity and asked, "Group Leader, why does the Blood Magic Body have such a high value?"

"Because whether it's good or evil, the essence is composed of the world's origin. The existence of the Blood Magic Body is equivalent to a vessel of evil. They can absorb evil thoughts, causing people to abandon evil and turn to good, or they can implant evil thoughts into people, causing them to fall into demonic ways," Xiao Shan explained. "As the world's origin, the Blood Magic Body naturally won't be cheap!"

Mao Xiaofang nodded in sudden realization: "Oh, I see!"

Then Mao Xiaofang looked at Xiao Shan and said, "My senior brother Lei Gang has been corrupted by evil thoughts. If we can remove the evil thoughts from him, the righteous path will definitely have another person to support the cauldron."

"Whether someone is purely good or purely evil, neither is good. There needs to be a balance between good and evil," Xiao Shan said, looking at Mao Xiaofang.

Mao Xiaofang sighed and said, "Group leader, the balance between good and evil has always been the most difficult thing to grasp."

"Master Mao, it is precisely for this reason that we need to strengthen our beliefs and understand our true nature. The so-called true nature is the root of our thoughts, desires, and wants," Xiao Shan said with a smile. "Whether it is a good thought or an evil thought, they all originate from the thoughts deep within our hearts. What we pursue on the path of cultivation is to cultivate a tranquil, detached, and undisturbed ordinary mind. Understanding the way of good and evil, comprehending the principle of cause and effect, neither being overly attached to good deeds nor resolutely rejecting evil, only in this way can we transcend worldly affairs and perceive ourselves with a clear and lucid mind."

"In this complex world, we must maintain a calm and composed mind, and not be disturbed or influenced by external factors; at the same time, we must adhere to our moral bottom line and principles, and not let ourselves drift with the tide or lose our way." Xiao Shan paused for a moment and then said, "Only with such a state of mind and wisdom can we truly understand our own nature and find a path that suits us."

Xiao Shan often chats with Zhang Sanfeng and others in the chat group, and he has his own understanding of his own path.

Mao Xiaofang nodded in agreement, saying, "Good and evil are inherently difficult to define. What is good? What is evil? Everyone has their own standards."

"However, group leader, if people in the world have no distinction between good and evil, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
