Chapter 185 Chapter 184

The weather was gloomy and covered with dark clouds. Four boys and girls happened to pass by the rutted land road in a small village. Weeds were overgrown on both sides of the road, and the trees were not dense. The four saw that the weather was bad, and it seemed that it was not long. It will rain, so find a place to rest here.

And these four boys and girls were none other than Shen Mu, Lin Yueru, Li Xiaoyao, and Zhao Linger who had quietly escaped from the Lin Family Fort.Since Shen Mu took Zhuyan Pill, he looks like a 78-year-old boy, but no one knows how old he is. Shen Mu was still worried about whether he would stay young forever, but later, Shen Mu found out that he His appearance basically remained that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy.

As soon as Shen Mu and the others came to this village, they discovered that this village was a bit unusual, and there was an indescribable weirdness about it.

At the entrance of a rice store, there were people all around, and they looked very anxious. They were rushing to buy rice rather than queuing up to buy rice.

Shen Mu and the others felt curious, so they walked over and found that the rice bought by the villagers was not ordinary rice, but glutinous rice.

The boss who is busy selling rice is a middle-aged man, and his clothes are obviously much better than those of the villagers here. The blue robe on his body can only be worn by wealthy families in the city.

"Hey, don't grab it, come one by one." The owner of the rice store had an imperceptible and weird smile on his lips, and while greeting the villagers, he said something to the guy in the rice store who weighed rice for the villagers.

The villagers at the back of the line were extremely anxious, sweat dripped from their foreheads, their faces became uglier than the last, and they held a few copper coins tightly in their hands. It seemed that they had waited for a long time, and they couldn't help complaining what -

"Ah! The owner of Luoji's rice shop took advantage of this emergency to raise the price. It is us ordinary people who are suffering!"

"I don't know if the corpse monster from Heishui Town will come to our Baihe Village to make trouble. I don't know if glutinous rice is really effective against zombies."

"It's really annoying. There are still merchants who deliberately sell glutinous rice so expensive at this time. These merchants are really heartless. They will definitely not have children in the future... If I had known, our family would also switch to growing glutinous rice. Now I can also make a lot of money Pen."

"Although the glutinous rice here is very expensive, this is the only one in the nearby villages. If Village Chief Han hadn't kindly taken in the people who escaped from Heishui Town, I really don't know what they would do now."

"My God! Is there no one in our village who can deal with the corpse demon? If we can get the help of the monks of the Jade Buddha Temple, maybe we can deal with the zombies in Heishui Town."

"Uncle, what happened in this village?" Lin Yueru asked a haggard farmer uncle with white hair at the end of the line.

The uncle turned around, glanced at Zhao Linger and Shen Mu, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Little girl, I think you are from another place?! You may not know that Heishui Town in Hedong is now Zombies are in trouble, don't go near there! We buy glutinous rice now to prevent zombies from spreading here, but the owner of the rice seller is too dark-hearted, deliberately raising the price of rice, and we can only buy a little copper in our hands. Where? enough..."

Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er were also filled with righteous indignation when they heard this.

"This rice businessman is too hateful. I'll help you seek justice." Lin Yueru became even more irritable and threw out her whip, wanting to seek justice from the villagers.

Shen Mu didn't want to join in the fun, but Lin Yueru didn't know a lot of things when she went out for the first time, and she was irritable, knowing that if Lin Yueru couldn't agree with the owner of the rice shop, she would probably fight, so she hurriedly said: "Yue If so, let me ask."

After speaking, he came to the counter of the rice shop and said to the owner of the rice shop, "Are you the owner of this rice shop?"

Seeing that Shen Mu was dressed in brocade clothes, the owner of the rice shop had an extraordinary bearing, and at first sight he was a son of a family, so he didn't dare to be negligent, so he invited Shen Mu aside, hugged Shen Mu and said, "Young master, what do you want me to do?"

Shen Mu asked lightly: "Now the people of Baihe Village are in the most tense moment. Every day they are afraid that the corpse demon from Heishui Town in Hedong will come over. You also know that only glutinous rice can prevent zombies, but you took the opportunity to raise the price of rice. So Wouldn't it be too heartless to do it?"

The face of the owner of the rice shop changed, and he said displeasedly: "Young master, you have too much control! If you want to blame them, blame them for not being business-minded. Back then, when there was a zombie outbreak in Heishui Town, everyone just gloated and shouldn't take it seriously. It was one thing and I saw it right, bought all the glutinous rice in the vicinity, and made ten times the profit~haha! To do business, you have to be as discerning as I am, and you will seize the opportunity."

Shen Mu felt that he couldn't make sense with the owner of the rice shop, so he stopped talking. Through the villagers, he learned that the corpse demon from Heishui Town had come to a nearby village.

Zhao Ling'er was kind-hearted, so she said to Li Xiaoyao: "Brother Xiaoyao, why don't we help these villagers catch the corpse demon?"

"Well, Ling'er, you think the same as I do, it's right to be a chivalrous man." Then he said to Shen Mu, "What do you think, Ah Mu?"

Before Shen Mu could speak, Lin Yueru said first: "Ah Mu will definitely not just sit idly by, right, Ah Mu."

The eyes of the three of Li Xiaoyao fell on Shen Mu's face at the same time, because among the four, only Shen Mu's martial arts was much higher than all of them. If Shen Mu could help, it would be much better.

Now that this is all said, what else can Shen Mu say? He thinks it doesn't matter, anyway, it's just a matter of little effort, so he said: "Well, then let's go to Heishui Town together to have a look."

"Hee hee, I know that Ah Mu is the best." Lin Yueru didn't care about Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er beside her, and put her arms around Shen Mu.

Shen Mu was sweating in his heart, a barbaric woman is a barbaric woman, and hurriedly pushed Lin Yueru away and said, "...Time is urgent, let's go quickly."

……

The four of Shen Mu went to Heishui Town together. When they passed a big stone bridge, they met a big man guarding the bridge and asked about the general direction of Heishui Town.

The big man guarding the bridge saw that Shen Mu and the other four were wearing weapons, looking like knights of the rivers and lakes, so he pointed to the northeast direction and said: "Cross this bridge and go northeast to the Jade Buddha Temple, pass through the Jade Buddha Temple, and then go northeast Go to "Heishui Town", where there is a lot of corpses and monsters, and it is no longer inhabited. To the southwest is "Ghost Yin Mountain". Recently, a group of Miao people of unknown origin have appeared, they kill people without blinking an eye, they are more terrifying than bandits, you had better not approach that area casually."

"Thank you." Shen Mu and the others passed the stone bridge in the direction pointed by the big man, looked at the blackened water under the stone bridge, and walked northeast.

When the four of them passed by the Jade Buddha Temple, Zhao Linger stopped in his tracks, with a strange look on his face, and said to Shen Mu and the others: "I always feel that there seems to be... a demonic aura around this temple."

Li Xiaoyao hurriedly looked into the temple, and found that there was nothing unusual about the temple, except for a dozing gatekeeper monk who seemed a little strange, and said, "Evil spirit? How is that possible! This is a place for pure Buddhist cultivation."

Zhao Ling'er shook her head and said, "I can't say...but...it's not evil spirit."

In fact, Shen Mu also noticed the evil spirit, and said: "Well, I also noticed it, I'll find out when I go in and check."

As he spoke, he walked up to the gatekeeper monk who was dozing off, and saluted: "Masters, I want to see the abbot of your monastery, I don't know..."

The dozing doorkeeper monk raised his eyelids and glanced at Shen Mu and the others. Before Shen Mu could finish speaking, he hurried to the temple and shouted: "Fang... Abbot~someone is coming!!"

Lin Yueru wondered: "Why does this monk dare not look at us when he sees us so flustered?"

Shen Mu joked: "Ha~ The monks are all empty, how could they not change their faces when they suddenly saw two beauties driving by?"

Lin Yueru said coquettishly, "Hmph~ you have an unscrupulous face! I think it's a bit weird, let's go in and have a look..." Then he ran in, Shen Mu smiled wryly, and followed in with Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger .

The four of them entered the temple and found that the temple was not very big, but they saw a ragged monk chasing the young monk with a machete, so they hurriedly stopped him.

Shen Mu hurriedly stopped the ragged monk holding a machete and said, "Hey, master! You have something to say!"

The tattered monk pointed at the scared pale young monk and said angrily: "I can't take it anymore! Let me chop up this little bastard. This little bastard lied to me! I was a butcher and had to eat at least five catties of meat every day." Otherwise, everything would be wrong. He lied to me that he could eat and drink every day as a monk here, but when I came here, I realized that was not the case at all.”

Li Xiaoyao stepped forward and said: "Maybe you made a mistake... monks are not allowed to eat meat."

The tattered monk said anxiously: "I am not a monk anymore, can I? Just now I managed to catch a deer and was about to cook it to satisfy my hunger. Who would have thought that this little bastard dumped out the whole pot including the meat and soup."

It turned out that this monk was a butcher before he became a monk, and he liked to eat meat. Today, he managed to catch a deer with an injured foot and its horns cut off, and boiled it, but the young monk threw it away.

Lin Yueru glanced at the shabby monk and said: "You don't want to continue to become a monk, why don't you return to your hometown, this is really ugly."

The tattered monk muttered, "I would have gone back long ago if I could."

Lin Yueru was puzzled and said, "How do you say that?"

The tattered monk curled his lips helplessly and said, "I can't remember anything before the master abbot shaved me and became a monk. I only know that I am a pig killer and I only want to eat meat!"

Lin Yueru smiled and said, "It's ridiculous, there are such strange people! Then do you know where the corpse demon in Heishui Town is?"

The tattered monk said: "I don't know about this, but this little bastard knows, by the way, are you going to Heishui Town?"

Shen Mu clasped his fists and said: "That's right, we are going to Heishui Town to subdue the corpse, even if this little monk knows about the corpse, the little thing that we are going to subdue the corpse may be useful, so why not let him It’s okay to pay off the merits.”

The little monk was eager to leave here for the time being, so as not to be cut off by the broken monk who was losing his temper, he hurried over and said: "Okay, okay...! Let me follow you, I know who is manipulating the corpse demon behind the scenes , I can help you find him, most of the corpses below the mountain came from the mass graves in the north of Heishui Town, where there is a tomb of a general from the Sui Dynasty, there must be something strange in the tomb."

Li Xiaoyao, who was beside Shen Mu, couldn't help exclaiming: "There is such a thing...!"

"Let's go, let's go to the general's tomb."

Shen Mu and the others came to Heishui Town together with the little monk. Heishui Town was already a deserted town, without even a single person. Unbearable look.

I met a few corpses on the road, all of whom were killed by the townspeople. Although they looked vicious, they were a piece of cake for Shen Mu. Shen Mu burned the corpses to death ashes.

Li Xiaoyao and the others couldn't help feeling a little awed towards Shen Mu, "Wow, A Mu, your fire spells are so powerful, do you have the legendary fire root?"

"Well, that's right." Shen Mu nodded, observing the situation in the town, he found that the town was full of corpse aura everywhere, and it seemed that there were not only a few corpse demons.

Sure enough, Shen Mu and the others followed the young monk all the way to the general's grave in the mass grave, and exterminated more than a dozen corpses.

The little monk pointed to a large but dilapidated tomb in front of the mass burial mound. On the tombstone of the tomb was engraved [Tomb of General Fubian of the Great Sui Dynasty], and then said to Shen Mu and others: "Okay, benefactor, this is The general’s tomb is gone, and the monk is leaving.”

"Thank you, this is five taels of silver, you take it." Shen Mu took out five taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the young monk, saving him from being beaten again by the shabby monk when he went back.

"Thank you, benefactor." The little monk saw the silver in Shen Mu's hand, his eyes sparkled, he quickly took the silver, put it in his arms, thanked him repeatedly, then turned and left.

There is a big hole next to the general's tomb, which seems to have been visited by tomb robbers long ago.

Shen Mu and the others got in, ready to kill the culprit who killed the townspeople in the tomb.

As soon as they entered the hall of the tomb, there was a powerful Yin Qi rushing towards them, forcing everyone to take a few steps back.

Lin Yueru pinched her nose and complained, "This damn place smells so bad..."

Shen Mu rolled his eyes and said, "It's normal to have corpses in the grave, who told you to follow..."

Lin Yueru looked like a savage princess, pinched Xiaoman's waist and said, "What's wrong with following you, I will follow you wherever you go, hum!"

Shen Mu looked helpless, and the couple Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er beside him couldn't help laughing.

"Who is it~ noisy~wake up~this~general~jun!"

At this time, a zombie wearing the armor of a Sui Dynasty general ran out of a tomb with a huge ax in his hand, and the huge ax slashed at Shen Mu.

Shen Mu quickly dodged, pulled out the Xihe Sword from his back, and started fighting with the general of the Sui Dynasty. Li Xiaoyao and the other three also joined the battle.Shen Mu used defense as an offensive move, blocking the Sui Dynasty General's huge axe, and then made a counter-attack move, slashing the Sui Dynasty General's arm with a sword, and the Sui Dynasty General's arm broke and fell to the ground. Corpse Qi suddenly dropped.

Shen Mu made another move of Sancai Chaoyuan. In just a few rounds, the general of the Sui Dynasty was chopped into two pieces by Shen Mu's Xihe sword, and then the body was burned to pieces with the move of Samadhi True Fire. fly ash.

"Ding Dong, kill the zombies transformed by the generals of the Sui Dynasty, eliminate harm for the people, and get 2000 happiness points."

Shen Mu put the Xihe sword into the scabbard, "Let's go, let's go back to Baihe Village and tell the villagers."

Li Xiaoyao said with a smile: "Well, the villagers will be very happy, but Ah Mu, can you teach me the trick just now?"

"Okay, just exchange your Wanjianjue mentality with me." Shen Mu learned the swordsmanship of the Kunlun Mountain sect, and he had never learned the swordsmanship of the Shushan School. Since Li Xiaoyao wanted to learn from him It is also cost-effective to replace the moves of the Kunlun Qionghua School with the Wanjian Jue.

Li Xiaoyao only knew the Ten Thousand Swords Art taught to him by Jiu Jianxian, so he was naturally very happy to learn one more, so Lian Sheng agreed.

Therefore, Shen Mu handed over the mental formula of Sancai Chaoyuan to Li Xiaoyao, and Li Xiaoyao also handed over the mental formula of Wanjian Jue to Shen Mu.

"Ding Dong, host, you have learned the Shushan Sword Art Ten Thousand Swords Jue, and gained 2000 happiness points."

Back in Baihe Village, the villagers learned that the zombies had been eliminated, and they were all very grateful to Shen Mu and the others.

"Thank you to the young heroes for saving lives and defeating the corpse demon. Our Baihe Village has finally restored the peace of the past. Thank you for your great kindness, and the people of our Baihe Village will never repay you."

But only one wanted to hang himself.

In the rice shop that was originally a booming business, only the rice shop owner and his rice shop assistant remained.

The owner of the rice store beat his chest, washed his face with tears, and shouted: "This is a terrible situation. No one wants to buy glutinous rice. There are still a lot of stocks that are not sold out. It's all caused by those outsiders! Now I can't buy glutinous rice." Losing money, woo... this pile of glutinous rice will not be bought until the Dragon Boat Festival when making zongzi."
