If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 96: Ding Xiu, Miss Hong, nice to meet you!

After some explanations and on-the-spot observations by the villagers, Hong Gu locked her eyes on a place: a barren slope about two miles away from the village.

This place is called a mass grave by the villagers.

According to the elders in the village, the ruins near the mass graves were originally a charity village decades ago, and there were still caretakers in the charity village.

Later, war broke out, bandits were rampant, and there were many unclaimed corpses in the village.

Seeing that there were so many corpses, the guards of Yizhuang had no choice but to bury some of the ownerless corpses one after another on the nearby desolate slopes.

That night, Yi Zhuang suddenly caught fire and was destroyed overnight and turned into ruins.

The barren slope where the corpses were buried was no longer cared for. It was overgrown with weeds and had ghost fires floating around, and it became a disgusting mass grave.

into the night.

Erhu and another disciple pretended to be villagers, and they took turns passing by the path under the mass grave.

This move was precisely to attract the zombie to appear.

Although this method is a bit stupid and has the meaning of waiting for escape, if it is really a zombie, it has almost no intelligence and everything is based on instinct.

Once you feel the breath of a living person, I believe it will definitely appear.

Waiting until midnight, finally, a black shadow jumped down from the rocky and overgrown slope.

Honggu couldn't help but cheer up, secretly thinking that all the hard work was not in vain.

After observing for a while and confirming that the thing was probably a zombie, he quietly stood up and prepared to circle around and pounce behind the zombie.

In fact, this was not the first time that Honggu saw zombies. She had encountered them twice before when she went to the ancient tomb, and she had some experience in dealing with zombies.

On the other side, Erhu and another disciple named Shuanzi also discovered the zombie jumping down from the slope. They were both excited and nervous.

The two quickly came together and stared at the zombie on the slope.

Unexpectedly, when I took a closer look, there was more than one?
"Why are there two zombies? Erhu, what should I do?" Shuanzi felt guilty and asked in a trembling voice.

Erhu gritted his teeth and replied: "What are you afraid of? Isn't there Miss Hong? Let's delay for a while. We must destroy these two zombies today no matter what."

Shuanzi could only respond: "Okay."

"on!"

Seeing the two zombies jumping closer and closer, Erhu shouted and rushed forward first.

On the other side, Honggu quickened her pace when she saw that Erhu and Shuanzi had started to take action.

Unexpectedly, when she ran nearly halfway, a tall black shadow suddenly flashed in front of her, causing Hong Gu to almost run into it.

Fortunately, Hong Gu had good skills and quick reactions. She quickly moved her body to the right, raised her leg to kick sideways, and used the rebound force to teleport two steps.

Only then did she see clearly that the other person was not a person at all. His eyes were scarlet, two fangs were faintly exposed at the corners of his mouth, his palms were withered, and his long nails were like sharp blades. He was clearly a zombie.

"Ow~"

The zombie was kicked by Hong Gu, and its body just shook. Then it let out a low howl and rushed towards Hong Gu with its sharp claws.

Hong Gufei took two steps back, took out a small bamboo tube, pulled out the stopper, aimed at the zombie and poured it over.

The bamboo tube contains black dog blood, which has been prepared using the special method of the Xieling sect. Not only is the effect better, but it will also not solidify in a short period of time.

When she went to the ancient tomb before, Honggu had used black dog blood to deal with Da Zongzi, and it was somewhat restrained.

Unexpectedly, this zombie was not afraid of the black dog's blood, or the effect was minimal. In short, this guy was not affected at all, and rushed towards Hong Gu again with his sharp claws, and at an extremely fast speed.

"boom!"

Hong Gu kicked again. Although the zombie shook a few times, she herself was shocked and her whole right leg was numb.

Seeing that the zombie was about to rush over again, Hong Gu raised her hand and threw three flying knives in succession.

Throwing knives is one of her unique skills.

I remember when she was a performer, even if she was blindfolded, she could shoot at a wine bottle ten steps away, and she would hit the target with perfect accuracy, like a little red flying knife.

The flying knives were extremely fast, and there were three in a row. The zombie obviously couldn't avoid them.

But what shocked Hong Gu was that the zombie actually raised his hand to block two flying knives.

The other hit it on the shoulder, but the zombie's body was as hard as stone. Although the flying knife hit the shoulder, only the tip of the knife penetrated slightly, apparently not causing much damage.

"Ow!"

The zombie jumped in the air one after another, was hit by another knife, and became violent, causing Hong Gu to retreat continuously, and the danger was everywhere.

"Beasts die!"

At this moment, a loud shout came, and then a man in about forty years old wearing a black short coat rushed over, raised his hand and took out a yellow talisman.

When the yellow talisman touched its body, the zombie let out a howl of terror, turned around and ran away.

The man did not chase her, but turned to look at Hong Gu and asked with concern: "Girl, are you okay?"

Honggu came back to her senses, hurriedly stepped forward and cupped her hands: "It's troublesome, thank you senior..."

Before she could finish speaking, the man smiled and raised his hand: "Girl, you don't have to be polite!"

Unexpectedly, just when the guy raised his hand, a faint wisp of dust suddenly popped out. Honggu was caught off guard and took a breath, feeling dizzy and weak.

Hong Gu looked shocked and angry: "How dare you... dare to plot against me? Who are you?"

The other party smiled: "I am just an unknown person, and I have no intention of provoking you Chang Shengshan. However, if you insist on taking a trip into this muddy water, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

Upon hearing this, Honggu couldn't help but look shocked: "Walking in muddy water? Could it be that... that zombie just now was secretly controlled by you?"

"Haha, the girl is really smart as ice and snow, but it's a pity that she understood it too late..."

At this time, a sarcastic voice suddenly came: "Your Excellency, it is too early to be proud. Have you heard that the mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind?"

"Who?"

The man in black was taken aback, looked around anxiously, raised his hands to knead the secrets, and shouted: "Go back!"

Following this reply, the escaping zombie actually ran back.

At this moment, Honggu finally confirmed her guess. It was indeed this guy who was secretly controlling zombies to harm people. What was his purpose?

Of course, she could no longer think too much about the other party's intentions. She leaned against a large rock and tried to stabilize her body, while also looking for the person who had just spoken.

"call out!"

Just as the man in black was looking around cautiously, a sound bursting through the air suddenly sounded in his ears.

The man's expression changed and he quickly dodged to avoid it.

"boom!"

Unfortunately, his hiding speed could not keep up with the speed of the concealed weapon. There was a sudden pain in his vest, and his vision went black on the spot. He staggered forward a few steps, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

The hidden weapon fell to the ground, but it was a stone the size of an egg.

Immediately afterwards, a figure flew down from the big rock behind Hong Gu. Before the man in black could catch his breath, he kicked the man in mid-air and kicked him until he vomited blood again.

"boom!"

After landing, he vomited a mouthful of blood desperately.

Then he twitched a few times and then became motionless. He didn't know whether he was dead or fainted.

At this time, something strange happened. The zombie that ran back suddenly stopped where it was.

The other two zombies fighting with Erhu and Shuanzi seemed to have lost control and lay motionless on the ground, like two dead corpses.

Seeing all this, Honggu was naturally surprised and happy.

However, I suffered a big loss just now. I actually regarded the man in black as my benefactor, so I glanced at the visitor with some vigilance and asked, "I wonder who you are?"

The person who came had a smile on his face, raised his hands to Hong Gu and said, "Ding Xiu, Miss Hong, nice to meet you!"

Hong Gu looked surprised: "You... know me?" Ding Xiu looked meaningful: "I've met Miss Hong before, but I don't know Miss Hong."

More than met once?I know all your little secrets, but I just won’t tell them.

"Ding Xiu?" Miss Hong frowned and thought hard for a while, but she had no impression at all.

It's strange that this person is so skilled. I'm afraid no one in Changsheng Mountain, including the leader, can be his opponent. How come this person's name has never been heard of in the world?
"I'm just an unknown person. It's normal that Miss Hong has never heard of it."

"Miss Hong, are you okay?"

At this time, Erhu and Shuanzi rushed over.

Hong Gu smiled bitterly, shook her head, and said to the two of them, "That guy sprinkled something that made me weak."

Ding Xiu said: "It should be a kind of drug that makes people temporarily incapacitated. It seems that the drug is not very effective. Miss Hong might as well sit down and rest. Maybe she will be fine after a while."

"Okay, I'll try."

Miss Hong sat on the ground as instructed.

Erhu looked around in shock, then glanced at Ding Xiu subconsciously, and couldn't help but ask: "Miss Hong, who is this friend?"

"His name is Ding Xiu, he was the one who saved me just now."

Erhu couldn't help but clasped his fists and said with gratitude: "It turns out to be Daxia Ding. My name is Erhu. Thank you Daxia Ding for your help."

"Brothers Erhu, you don't have to be polite..."

At this time, Shuanzi looked at the motionless zombie with a frightened expression, and murmured: "Strange, the two zombies suddenly fell down, and this one was motionless as well. What happened?"

Honggu replied: "It's all the fault of that guy on the ground. While the zombie can't move, you two should quickly find some firewood to burn it."

"good idea!"

Erhu was overjoyed and quickly lowered his head to collect firewood.

Unexpectedly, the man in black woke up again with the light of the fire.

Seeing Erhu and Shuanzi burning zombies, he felt anxious and immediately struggled to stand up. He took out a yellow talisman with his left hand and made a sign with his right hand, waiting to mutter something.

Unexpectedly, another stone flew over.

"boom!"

Once again, he smashed the guy back to the ground.

In fact, Ding Xiu also wanted to show off his magical powers and fight with his opponent.It's a pity that his current understanding of conjuration is limited, so he can only conquer ten levels at once.

He is still very good at using Qi.

Honggu couldn't help but look surprised and glanced at Ding Xiu: "I didn't expect that your hidden weapon skills are so strong."

Ding Xiu looked modest: "No, I'm afraid my technique is far inferior to Miss Hong's flying knife."

At this time, Honggu couldn't help but ask: "Why did you suddenly appear here?"

After all, she still had some doubts about Ding Xiu's origin. After all, the timing of Ding Xiu's appearance was too coincidental.

"To be honest with Miss Hong, when Miss Hong asked for directions in the town, I was preparing to go to Changsheng Mountain..."

"Going to Changsheng Mountain?"

Ding Xiu nodded: "Yes! I have admired Mr. Chen for a long time, and heard that Mr. Chen opened a warehouse to store grain and help refugees. I really admire his mind and personality, so I wanted to pay him a visit.

As a result, I overheard the conversation between Miss Hong and the aunt, and quietly came to Yejiazhuang, hoping to help Miss Hong secretly.

In fact, I've discovered that guy a long time ago and have been following him to see what he's up to.

Unexpectedly, he was responsible for causing the zombie disaster..."

"So that's it!" Hong Gu nodded with a sudden look on her face.

No wonder it was said before that the mantis stalks the cicada with the oriole behind, but I didn’t expect this person to be quite scheming.

After burning the zombies, Honggu finally regained some strength.

So he ordered: "Erhu, Shuanzi, you two take that guy back to the village and hand him over to the villagers. I will rest for a while, and you can find me here after you finish your work."

"Okay red girl."

The two men responded, then dragged the man in black back to the village like a dead dog.

When a group of villagers gathered around, Erhu said to the village chief: "Village Chief, the zombies that killed the villagers were secretly controlled by this guy on the ground."

"what?"

The village chief couldn't help but be shocked, and other villagers couldn't help but look at each other.

One villager couldn't help but said angrily: "Damn it! This man is so vicious. Village chief, we cannot let him off lightly!"

"Yes, this kind of person should be cut to pieces!"

For a time, the crowd was so angry that it threatened to strip the man in black and convulse him.

"Hahaha!" Unexpectedly, the guy suddenly woke up again, sat up and laughed wildly.

"Huh?" At this time, someone exclaimed: "He...he is Ye Liangchen!"

"What? Ye Liangchen?"

All the villagers exclaimed as if they had seen a ghost.

Speaking of which, Ye Liangchen was also a villager in Yejiazhuang.

This guy has been lazy since he was a child, and he also likes to do some sneaky things.

Most of the villagers in Yejiazhuang have the surname Ye and share the same clan. For the sake of fellow clan members, everyone tries their best to tolerate it.

Unexpectedly, as he grew older, not only did this guy become less sensible, but he also became more serious. He was just sneaking around, but he was also rude and rude, swearing and even hitting people at every turn.

What's even worse is that he often peeks at the women in the village taking a bath, and sometimes even touches them.

One day, an elder in the village couldn't stand it anymore, so he scolded this guy.Unexpectedly, Ye Liangchen stepped forward and beat the elder with the strength of alcohol, causing his head to be bloody.

The villagers' anger finally broke out.

A crowd of people gathered around him, punching and kicking him until Ye Liangchen cried for his father and mother, and fell to the ground begging for mercy.

However, the villagers could no longer bear it any longer and asked the old patriarch to make the decision to remove Ye Liangchen from the Ye family and expel Ye Liangchen from the village, never to return.

Before leaving, Ye Jiachen was still very arrogant and said, "When my dear son comes back one day, he will definitely cause a bloody storm."

At first, the villagers were a little frightened.

Later, as time passed, everyone almost forgot about him.

Unexpectedly, 20 years later, this guy really came back, and he learned some evil ways from somewhere, and actually drove zombies to kill the people in the village.

"Hahaha, do you think I'm dead? I never talk empty words when I'm good. Back then, you bullied me because of the crowd. Now that I'm back from studying, I'm going to make you die one by one..."

"Bitch, beat him to death!"

All the villagers were completely furious. No one knew who it was, and they took the lead and rushed forward.

Next, more and more villagers rushed forward to punch and kick him.

This time, they will never show mercy.

Otherwise, this guy would have killed an unknown number of people.

Seeing the chaos, Erhu and Shuanzi looked at each other and left quietly.

When Hong Gu almost recovered her energy, she took Ding Xiu back to Changsheng Mountain.

Little did she know that from this moment on, her fate would quietly take a huge turn, and she would embark on a long road to life.
