The world of Taoism

Chapter 41 Zombies Worship the Moon
Lingyan Mountain.

Zhou Xuan and others rode on horseback along the way, tied the horses to the foot of the mountain, and then climbed up the mountain road.

Whoa!

The bushes ahead suddenly parted, and two men in black came out of it.

The two men were not very old, their eyes were shining and their eyes were sharp.

"My lord! There is no danger ahead." Tuesday bowed and said.

These two people were the guards brought by Zhou Xuan.

Among the five, Tuesday and Wednesday are the most shrewd and decisive.

Zhou Xuan brought it to explore the way for him.

To avoid being exposed, Zhou Xuan did not bring too many people.

Whoa!

The treetop on the right trembled, and two people wearing black cloaks who couldn't see their real faces jumped down from the tree trunk.

"My lord, everything is normal ahead." The cloaked man knelt and cupped his hands.

The exposed skin of the cloaked man made Zhou Xuan's scalp numb.

The skin of the arm is densely packed with black spots, and the black spots are connected into one piece, very dense, like insect eggs.

Upon closer inspection, the black spots turned out to be countless tiny scales.

The smooth, jet-black scales shone faintly with moonlight, giving people a very terrifying feeling.

Zhou Xuan got goosebumps looking at it. .

This is simply a group of snakeskin monsters!
I once heard Uncle Zhang say that the imperial power does not come down to the county, and the task of subjugating demons at the county level is generally left to the local forces.

The imperial court did not allocate funds at all, and everything was self-sufficient.

Therefore, a lot of local snakes have been derived, which are still aboveboard and local forces with official status.

For example, the families of Lian Hongyu and Yuan Ming belonged to local forces, and their subordinates were actually their private soldiers.

These snake-skinned monsters should be private soldiers of the Yuanming family.

The reason why Zhou Xuan agreed to join the imperial court was that he actually had this idea.

Zhou Xuan's ambition is not great.

I just want to live aboveboard and concentrate on cultivation.

The spells cultivated by oneself do not require human blood or sacrifices, but only a lot of resources.

There is no conflict with the imperial court at all, and they don't care about themselves, so why not join?

Everyone searched most of the mountain, but found nothing.

At this time, the sunset is west.

.........

The moonlight was cold and the wind was blowing.

This is the middle of the month and it is full moon time.

A round of pure white jade plate hangs high in the sky, and the moonlight falls on the ground like nectar from poplar branches.

Deep in the forest, in a canyon.

The stream flows slowly at the bottom of the canyon, and the woods with lush foliage are beside it.

The canyon is in the middle of two mountains, and the two mountains are like dragons and tigers entrenched on both sides. The terrain is quite ingenious.

Next to the stream, there is a Zhuangzi with white walls and black tiles.

In the front is a tall archway, with four pillars and three holes, and the whole body is painted with black paint.

Against the background of the cold moonlight, it looks like a monster with a huge mouth open.

The white lanterns emit pale light, and the whole villa is gloomy and cold.

Squeak!

The door opened, and a group of figures in blue-gray clothes with blue faces and fangs came out.

These people looked hideous and hurried on their way by jumping.

It looked similar to the zombies Zhou Xuan had seen back then.

There are seventeen figures in total.

The zombies lined up in the courtyard, pointing their hands straight to the sky, then bent down, raised again, bent down again.

It turned out to be a zombie worshiping the moon!
The wind is blowing, like ghosts crying and wolves howling.

The zombie didn't make any movement, and mechanically repeated the movement of worshiping the moon.

Cold moonlight, moon-worshiping zombies, gloomy Zhuangzi, howling wind...these elements add up to present a horrifying picture.

Above the valley, the grass slowly moved away.

When I saw this scene on Tuesday, my heart almost jumped out.

It took all the strength to suppress the desire to scream.

"Don't panic!" A big hand rested on Tuesday's shoulder behind him.

Zhou Xuan's face was solemn, looking at everything below.

This picture feels really weird.

There was no sound, only the howling wind.

"Go back!" Zhou Xuan whispered.

The number of seventeen zombies below is indeed a bit much.

However, this valley is not big, so I will bring a group of people and a lot of fire oil when I go back.

Within three days, it was enough to burn the entire valley.

Thinking of this, the group went back lightly.

In the afternoon, the three of them searched in three different directions, so that they could go faster so that they could leave before the sun went down.

As a result, Zhou Xuanzheng found traces in the mountains when he returned.

The other two found out one after another.

……

Yuan Ming looked at Zhou Xuan not far away, his eyes were cold.

Zhou Xuan brought immeasurable losses to himself, which was equivalent to costing him a life.

Yuan Ming has always held a grudge, and wanted to find a chance to get revenge.

However, this scene made Yuan Ming hesitate very much.

Once there is a conflict between the two sides, it is bound to sweep away the snake and startle the zombies below.

So the gain outweighs the loss.

Maybe you can try it, you have the means to get out.

Just as Yuan Ming was about to make a move, there was a rustling sound from beside him.

Five or six pairs of miserable green pupils stared at him closely.

Ahhh!

The hungry wolf let out a howl, which echoed across the empty mountain.

Yuan Ming was hesitating just now, but he didn't notice that the wild wolves had quietly surrounded him.

"Not good!" Everyone said in unison.

"Come on!"

Zhou Xuan reacted even more quickly, and directly led the two of them to flee down the mountain without caring about revealing his whereabouts.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Xuan didn't need to run very fast, as long as he was faster than others.

The talisman sword is powerful, and Shenhu's upper body will definitely be able to get out of trouble.

As for Yuan Ming... Zhou Xuan wished for him to die.

In the villa, the zombie who was worshiping the moon stopped, staring straight at the top of the valley.

There, Yuan Ming was getting rid of the wolf, so he couldn't help making noises.

Zombies are divided into waves, going in various directions.

The villa is empty and the door is open.

Looking through the gate, a handsome man was sitting on a chair in the hall.

The man was handsome, with a white face and long reddish-brown hair hanging behind his back.

Wearing pure white Confucian clothing, he has an ethereal temperament, just like a handsome nobleman.

"It's really lingering..." The handsome man sneered, then lowered his head to eat the flesh and blood in front of him, the corners of his mouth were stained with blood.

In front of the table, it turned out to be a pure white thigh. The handsome man tore off a piece of meat, and opened his mouth to chew.

The noble temperament of the handsome man was gone, and he looked like a beast in clothes.

The handsome man pinched his fingers while eating the human leg.

The zombie exploded at several times the speed, and each jump could span five feet, which greatly shortened the distance from everyone.

After eating the human leg, the handsome man disappeared suddenly.

The direction is exactly the direction of Yuan Ming and Fu Jian.

Solve the strong ones first, then the weak ones.

The zombies have already remembered the smell of the psychic monk, and it is a big deal to do it by himself.

...

The figures of Zhou Xuan and the others walked quickly through the forest.

The scenery on both sides is constantly regressing.

All three of them had taken elixir, and their physique had been greatly enhanced.Such intense running can also be withstood.

More than 800 meters behind, four zombies bounced around.

Gradually shorten the distance with everyone.

Zhou Xuan was running ahead, but there was no panic in his eyes, his mood was extremely calm, and he was even faintly excited.

This feeling of licking blood with a knife filled Zhou Xuan with excitement.

Perhaps, I was born with this adventurous gene.

As time goes by, the zombies get closer and closer.
